A local fundraising challenge (no ice water needed)09/01/14 So what's the next Ice Bucket Challenge? Here's a local way to bring more money to worthy nonprofits in our region -- and you don't even have to get wet. But you can make it fun. It's the RiseDetroit Challenge, powered by CrowdRise, a fundraising platform co-founded by Robert Wolfe. Wolfe is a 2004 alumnus of our "40 under 40" program; we honored him for starting Moosejaw Mountaineering, an online and storefront retailer of outdoor equipment and camping gear. When Wolfe sold the company, he and his siblings looked at opportunities to "make a difference." CrowdRise is the result.
Biz volunteer cleanup helps remodel lives08/21/14 Last week, more than 10,000 volunteers descended on 65 blocks on Detroit's west side that straddle the Southfield Freeway between Joy and Plymouth roads. Many homes were demolished, boarded up or remodeled and urban forests of junk trees and other trash were removed from lots and public sidewalks. The before/after is remarkable. And the best stuff is at the schools — a medical simulation lab and other labs at Cody High School and a new football field for a school that hasn't played a home game in years.
'Encore' finds new pursuits for older adults08/23/14 Nearly a year ago, Beverly Burns made her "encore." A onetime journalist, she had practiced labor and employment law in the Detroit area for more than 30 years. But she was ready for another act.
Mayor, chief: A dynamic duo?08/23/14 Mayor Mike Duggan and police Chief James Craig are in what might be described as a shotgun marriage. Craig was hired by, and reports to, Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr. Which leaves some wondering: What will happen when Orr leaves?
Cohesion keeps city growing07/24/14 Who could imagine a year ago that Detroit — still in bankruptcy — would see the kinds of announcements we've seen in the past seven days?
Homecoming invites 'expats' to come back for comeback08/23/14 Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan was to announce Monday a new, multiyear initiative to re-engage ex-Detroiters in the city as it is slated to emerge from bankruptcy. Crain's Detroit Business is a convener of the initiative we are calling "The Detroit Homecoming." The inaugural homecoming will be in iconic Detroit venues Sept. 17-19 with an invitation-only audience primarily of "expats" — people who were born in metro Detroit, grew up here, went to school here or worked here — and still think of Detroit as "home."
Tax helps vets access services07/15/14 Paul Potter, a Vietnam vet and former Detroit-area executive with a real estate subsidiary of DTE Energy Co., helped to overhaul veterans services in Kent County in 2009 as a volunteer serving on the county's veterans affairs committee, appointed by the county administrator. Now, he's part of the campaign to persuade voters to approve a half-mill property tax in November to expand outreach staff in the county's veterans office. The focus would be connecting the area's estimated 50,000 veterans to housing, employment and health care and other benefits.
Buffett gets it, poor Matt Lauer does not08/23/14 Just when you think the pace of change is quickening, life throws us a speed bump. NBC "Today" show co-host Matt Lauer supplied the bump last week when he asked General Motors Co. CEO Mary Barra if she thought she could be a good parent and a good CEO. Lauer's Q&A could have made great content for "the state of women" conversation I had on a recent panel pulled together by The Michigan Chronicle.
Free tuition to grow talent?08/23/14 The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts a shortage of 274,000 STEM workers in Michigan by 2018 — a combination of an aging and retiring workforce and an uptick in the economy. Maybe Walter Maisel — CEO of German auto supplier Kostal North America — has The Big Idea. Maisel suggested Michigan do what the German state of Bavaria did during the period when Maisel was searching for options beyond his family business of farming: It offered free tuition for people studying to be engineers.
Biz leads way to strike down discrimination06/09/14 When advocates for ending discrimination based on sexual preference plotted strategy, they knew they needed powerful business allies. They found them in politically conservative West Michigan.
Time for talk about real engagement06/10/14 Leave it to Detroit to find the downside in a $100 million gift. That was my first reaction to hearing negative comments about the $100 million commitment to Detroit revitalization that JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chairman Jamie Dimon announced in Detroit on May 21.
Time to commence with bold speaking05/27/14 Universities are supposed to be places where ideas are tested and debated. So when did they become the litmus for "politically correct"? This commencement season has been a particularly nasty one for commencement speakers. The body count for speakers and honorary degree recipients who were officially invited and then either invitations were withdrawn or the speaker withdrew in the face of withering protests includes many notable women.
Ex-lawmaker David Bonior gets firsthand biz perspective05/15/14 Is there such a thing as a born-again capitalist? That might be the new religion for former U.S. Rep. David Bonior — who, before leaving Congress in 2002, represented a chunk of Southeast Michigan that included territory inhabited by those once deemed "Reagan Democrats" by pollsters.
UM's Mary Sue Coleman brought university closer to Detroit04/24/14 University of Michigan President Mary Sue Coleman officially retires July 1. Her accomplishments — raising more than $3 billion in a major capital campaign, buying the old Pfizer campus to create an expanded research center, and rebuilding the university's tech-transfer efforts, to name just three — really go beyond Ann Arbor's city limits.
Compensation creep worth keeping eye on04/17/14 It's annual meeting season. Which means, in my case, that I am sending proxy forms back with rejections of new director slates and my handwritten note: "WHERE are the WOMEN?" It's also a time when we begin seeing the lists of top-paid CEOs — the Crain's Detroit Business list will run May 19. Compensation in Michigan — even at the big auto companies — generally seems tame compared with the eye-popping numbers you see for Wall Street types.
It's time to settle land dispute in Troy04/02/14 Anger and emotion can be volatile factors in litigation. Mary Kramer believes that is part of what's going on with the legal back-and-forth between the city of Troy and developer Grand/Sakwa Properties LLC.
MARY KRAMER: What's driving images of women?03/19/14 Do media shape our images of what women can — or can't — do?
Powerful lesson in Calif. outage?03/09/14 Shortly after midnight one night last April, somebody cut telephone cables outside the Metcalf transmission substation near San Jose, Calif. A few minutes later, a gunman opened fire and took out 17 transformers that feed power to Silicon Valley. Because power was quickly rerouted to keep the supply going, the incident went unnoticed initially — except for the reported phone service outage — until The Wall Street Journal broke the story Feb. 18. Was this vandalism? Or terrorism? A dry run for something even bigger?
MARY KRAMER: Age isn't the only reason to yield power03/04/14 When is it time to go? Some companies have mandatory retirement ages. DTE Energy Co. said farewell to Paul Hillegonds last week when he reached his 65th birthday. He joined DTE in 2005 as senior vice president for corporate affairs. Fortunately for the region, Hillegonds will remain active, including as chairman of the new regional transit authority. Sixty-five is young when "60 is the new 40" has become the mantra for baby boomers. But how about folks in their 80s? When should they move over to make room for another generation? Last week, U.S. Rep. John Dingell answered that question when he announced he would not run again for the 12th District seat. "I want to serve honorably and well, and I want to do the job I can and should do," he said. "I don't want people to feel sorry for me. ... I don't want to go out feet first."
MARY KRAMER: Find biz bashes on our calendar02/19/14 How many times have you planned a charitable or business event only to learn three other events — aimed at exactly the same audience as yours — are the same night? It happens. For years, we've heard people ask for a central calendar of major business and charity black-tie events. We hope our new Crain's Executive Calendar will help. It's a digital, sharable list of important events, from black-tie charity fundraisers to Tigers' Opening Day to the Detroit Regional Chamber's Mackinac Policy Conference. It links directly to registration and ticket information, and allows you to save events to your own calendar.
New barrier for border bridge02/11/14 It has got to be aggravating, especially to a common-sense nerd. Gov. Rick Snyder put all his political capital into battling for a new bridge to link Detroit and Canada. Despite strong-arm lobbying and a multimillion-dollar campaign against the bridge, he — and the Canadian government and Michigan companies — won. But now federal foot-dragging is putting the project behind. Canada is footing the bill for bridge construction — about $2 billion. All the U.S. side needs to do is pay for a new customs plaza on the Michigan side — about $250 million. And that's where the holdup is.
MARY KRAMER: Adults need to put kids first in education02/04/14 We're halfway through the school year, and too many adults are still exhibiting the most incredibly juvenile behavior. Case in point: the continued assault against the Education Achievement Authority, the collection of the 15 worst-performing schools in Detroit carved out separately to try new methods and technology to help the most disadvantaged children make big gains in learning. Teachers in EAA schools are not unionized. Hence, teachers' unions hate the EAA. Union leaders have pressured the authority's sole higher-education partner, Eastern Michigan University, to drop its affiliation, a call seconded by EMU's faculty union.
MARY KRAMER: Candidates need better vetting01/21/14 Last week, we saw a steady stream of bad-news items about Detroit councilman George Cushingberry Jr. Heck, the guy had barely gotten his president pro tem seat warm in City Hall. It started with the now-famous traffic stop, but by week's end, reports included a temporary suspension of his law license for a past infraction, accusations by former clients of bad performance as an attorney and a personal bankruptcy filing. Since most of the bad news actually occurred before the August 2013 primary, the question is: Where were the news media? Hindsight is always 20/20, the saying goes. But the Cushingberry candidacy raises two additional issues.
Unions' time to reinvent01/15/14 This is the time of year for State of the State, State of the City, State of the Union. How about "the state of organized labor"? Michigan adopted a right-to-work law late in 2012, a drive that began in West Michigan. Since then? Some unions have tried to make it difficult for members to opt out of paying union dues. Many are focused on defeating a re-election bid by Gov. Rick Snyder this year. Members of the clerical workers union at Grand Valley State University, where I am a trustee, looked for value. They voted to create their own bargaining union this month, bolting from representation by the Michigan Education Association because, media reports said, they didn't think they were getting their money's worth.
MARY KRAMER: Isn't it time to talk about race?01/07/14 Forget resolutions. Let's talk about expectations for 2014. People in and around Detroit are expecting a lot. So much that newly elected Mayor Mike Duggan sounds like he is trying to manage expectations in some of his public remarks. Duggan will be able to improve delivery of some city services in tangible ways fairly quickly, in part through better management and in part with money freed up by debt obligation relief through bankruptcy. There are other good things to expect this year: The M-1 Rail project will finally break ground. Woodward Avenue will be torn up to create the kind of purgatory only commuters who generally travel I-96 into downtown Detroit will understand.

Early Scoring Spree Lifts Men Past B-Slugs
News Release Date:
Saturday, November 19
WALLA WALLA, Wash. -- After taking charge with a 17-2 first-half scoring spurt, Whitman College led by as many as 18 points in the second half before finishing off a 68-56 men's basketball victory over U.C.-Santa Cruz Saturday night in Sherwood Center.
Whitman 68,
UC-Santa Cruz 56
Whitman, squaring its early season record at 1-1, got 12 points apiece from sophomores Josh Duckworth and Jordan Dickson and 11 points each from seniors David Shaw and Brandon Shaw.
Nary a single Banana Slug scored in doubles figures, although Spencer Wells, Brent Jacobs and James Townsend all tallied nine points for the visitors.
UCSC, now 0-3 on the season, trailed by as many 14 points in the first half but drew within 33-23 by intermission.
Dickson's 3-pointer staked Whitman to a 45-27 lead at the 14:14 mark of the second half, and Shaw's jumper a few minutes later restored the 18-point Missionary bulge.
The Banana Slugs refused to go quietly, even after Duckworth's free throw with 1:31 remaining left them on the short end of a 68-52 count. Townsend floated in a pair of jumpers over the final 70 seconds to finish the scoring.
The Missionaries, who shot 50 percent from the floor in the second half, made 11 steals on the night while forcing 22 UCSC turnovers.
The Banana Slugs won the rebounding battle 37-31, but Michaels pulled down a game-high nine boards for Whitman to just miss a double-double. The active 6-foot-7 forward also picked off three steals and blocked two shots.
Dickson came off the Missionary bench to drill four of his seven 3-point attempts.
Whitman also got seven points, three assists and two steals from sophomore LuQuam Thompson, six points from sophomore Ryan Gilkey and five points, three rebounds and a bunch of hustle plays from junior Drew Raher.
UCSC's two previous losses came at the hands of Whitworth and NCAA Division I U.C.-Davis.
The Banana Slugs got off to quick start against Whitman, grabbing a 7-3 lead after four minutes.
With UCSC leading 9-8, two baskets by Shaw, two free throws by senior J.P. Alvarez and a Gilkey jumper triggered Whitman's 17-2 explosion.
Dickson, Duckworth and Thompson then finished the run with 3-point bombs, giving the Missionaries a 25-11 lead with 6:25 left in the opening half.
The Banana Slugs trimmed their deficit to four points, 27-23, with 2:57 remaining before Whitman finished the half with two Raher free throws, an offensive rebound putback by Duckworth and two more free throws by senior D.J. Wright.
Whitman returns to non-conference action next Friday and Saturday with neutral-site games against Chapman and Cal Lutheran at Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hill, Calif. Both of those games are slated for noon starts.
UCSC stays in the area Sunday for a 6 p.m. game against Walla Walla University in College Place.

I used to bend and twist myself to fit the wants and needs of the men I dated because I feared being alone.
As I stand confidently now I can see how detrimental that was, but back then I honestly didn't know any better - and I certainly didn't realize that my contortionist ways were leading me right into the arms of unhealthy relationships.
A friend recently asked me for dating advice after his latest relationship ended when the woman he was seeing cheated on him. It's become sort of a pattern for him – a pattern I know all too well.
After all, I've been cheated on in every one of my significant relationships.
"I seriously want to know why I attract women that cheat on me."
"Is it something I ooze?"
"Each and every woman in my last 3 relationships has cheated on me. And always with men in their golden years like 50 years old and over. And I date women in their 20s…"
His words made me think back about my dating life as a woman in my 20s.
I was so very lost, lacking any clue of who I was. Really, I had no business dating. I didn't know what I wanted out of a relationship aside from a false sense of security.
I lacked confidence and a career. I didn't have any real goals or dreams to aspire to. Every day of my 20s was pretty much the same until I gave birth to my son at the age of 25.
That was the day that everything changed. I went from spoiled and selfish to selflessly spoiling someone else and it rocked my world. Every year that has passed since has opened my eyes to who I am and what I want out of my life.
The Universe has thrown many curveballs my way, and while I may miss some of them – I knock the balls out of the park that matter.
I'm not that lost 20-something girl anymore.
At 34, I know what I'm good at, who I am and what I want. I may not have a boyfriend, BUT I DO HAVE A LIFE.
I refuse to settle because I know I don't have to.
But my guess is those 20-something women my friend chooses to date don't know that yet. And my other guess is that's why they end up cheating on him.
I've watched relationships and marriages crumble around me through the years and there has always been a common denominator in each of their demise: Someone in the relationship settled for love
There are signs when someone feels like they're settling – red flags we sometimes choose not to see.
I exchanged phone numbers with an attractive guy at a bar recently. Truthfully I thought he was a little too attractive for me, but I digress.
When I found out he was a personal trainer I got a little anxious as I am not the fittest person in the world. When we spoke on the phone afterwards he invited me to dinner at his place which was flattering until he spoke about what he planned to make – you see, he eats "clean" so he insisted I'd have to eat a plain sweet potato with NO BUTTER. When I mentioned I liked butter, he still insisted I'd have to eat my sweet potato without.
A man telling me how to eat was a red flag for me. It made me feel like he wanted to take me on as his next project – hoping to change my diet, whip me into shape and morph me physically into the girlfriend he really wanted.
Dating me now, as is, would mean he was settling.
Though I saw the red flag I chalked it up to me being self-conscious about my holiday weight gain – so I told him I'd think about meeting him at his place for dinner.
The following day I realized I'd already made plans for that evening and sent the personal trainer a text saying so, apologizing for my short term memory loss and asking if we could make plans for the following week instead.
Red flag number two came when he sent me a huffy text back accusing me of blowing him off for another dude.
Apparently my busy schedule was a problem for him – and apparently the only thing I could be busy with was another man.
It was the second red flag that made me realize my instincts were right and that this guy was not for me.
The 20-something me would've felt bad about being busy, canceled my previous plans and bent over backwards to rearrange my schedule to have dinner with the buff personal trainer.
And the 20-something me would've starved herself and worked out twice a day on the days leading up to our dinner date trying to look more like the lean & clean-eating woman he so obviously wanted.
But not the 34-year-old me!
Instead I told him I don't have time for temper tantrums and to fuck off – which was really pretty empowering.
I'm perfectly fine with my single status. In fact, I'm happier than I've ever been.
I'm holding out for a love that's extraordinary. I know it exists. I've seen it between people that chose not to settle.
And that's why I'll never settle for love. Or a sweet potato without butter on it.

Select Route:
The top of this route features some small overhangs to climb over using big holds while the bottom offers some face climbing.
"Just before reaching the Delicate Dihedral descent gully is a face with a couple of small overhangs. Walk around and you can get a view of it from the various overlooks, or from the top of Dogleg Crack."
There are lots of cracks on top of this route to set up top rope or else sling a couple of big features in the rock.

Now if someone were to approach me and simply ask "Hey, 00R, what's the very best driver's car money can buy new," I'd probably say in a millisecond "Go check out a Porsche Cayman and if you want to have some extra fun, look at the Boxster.
" That's because it's remarkable how much of a blast these two mid-engine sports cars can be. And though Porsche currently offers a base car and an "S" variant at the moment, there's always room for more. As we saw with the last-gen car, it produced a GT3-like "R" model and while we're not sure if the boys and girls from Stuttgart will go down that path again, we are sure that it will build a GTS model. At least that's what the latest spy shots consisting of the Boxster and Cayman seem to suggest. Clearly Porsche has spent some coin to ensure that the product portfolio has a GTS in many of its vehicles. If my memory serves me right, it originally started out with the 911, then the Cayenne and Panamera. I could be wrong with the order. We expect Porsche to give these GTS Boxsters and Caymans a slight power bump in the range of 10-20 horsepower and do some suspension modifications to make it a bit more stiff without going overboard. From there — and this is pure speculation — we assume Porsche will provide an even more hardcore model to follow up the last-gen "R." **To see the FULL collection of spy shots, click "Read Article!"Read Article

You can upload the folder that is inside "Theme" folder. It's called "blacklabel" upload it via FTP or zip that folder and upload it via your Admin Panel. If you need more help send me an email and I help you. firstname.lastname@example.com
Don't worry Jennifer it is a great theme, it's just got a few teething issues probably due to the updated version of WP.
Upload the theme via filezila or other. The step by step directions in the documentation folder is accurate and easy to follow.
Latest issues would be Video's in profiles not working and the creation of a contact page is not in the documentations.
All will be good. It's a great theme

Using Black Label on Wordpress for a client. But he says it doesn't work right on iPhone. Is this compatible? Is there a way to make compatible?

I just downloaded this theme and it is great! I know that this is probably really easy to do, but I just can't figure out how to add a background slider image. Is there a video on how to do it? Sorry, I am just new to wordpress. Also, I made the logo a link to the home page, but when I click on it, it has the home text box. When a person enters my site, I want the home page to be completely the background slideshow with captions. Is there a way to get rid of this text box? Thanks!
Hello, I've just purchased your beautiful theme. Just have a little question. How can I remove the white bars which appear on the both sides of the quicktime video (downloaded from my computer) when it plays in a portfolio? And can I add a control bar for my videos? Thanks by advance for your answer!
I was also wondering how to remove the footer and sidebars from the theme. Thank you so much!
My website is www.knoxfilm.com
I created a new tab called "News". It is set up to display my posts. It works great, but when guests want to comment on the posts it is not available. What am i missing in order to allow guest to comment on posts?
Now, looks like there is a problem with the permalinks. I can't access to the posts.
Do you check the messages in the support area. I posted something over a week back and have had no response. Please do respond before I change my rating on this theme and support.
I was on vacation and was announced here and on the support forum, if you still have the problem, please crete a new Support Topic in http://support.eneaa.com with your URL, I will take a look.
Hi there
Thanks for this great theme. I installed it on one of my websites but I have problems with the video background. It doesn't automatically play on iPhone. I tried the 3 versions: self hosted, Youtube and Vimeo but the problem persists. How do I get HTML5 video support. I uploaded the JWPlayer and it's working fine on desktop browsers. The second thing is: can I get the main menu to the left side of the page ? The url of my website is: www.luxuryhomesinlosangeles.net. Thank you.

I have been a fan of the Kansas City Chiefs for 42 years. The playoff loss to the Colts was by far the worst I have seen in Chiefs history. After reviewing what happened to the 1992 Houston Oilers team after their epic playoff game collapse to the Buffalo Bills the future does not look good for our Kansas City Chiefs.
The great irony of all of this is that the last Chiefs last playoff game win came against that same Oilers team that owns the worst playoff collapse in NFL history. The Oilers franchise never recovered from that playoff loss to the Buffalo Bills.
After the titanic collapse to the Bills the Oilers fired defensive coordinator Jim Eddy and defensive backs coach Pat Thomas. The new hire would be Buddy Ryan as DC. That did not help as the Super Bowl favorite Oilers would collapse under the mighty charge of our Joe Montana led Kansas City Chiefs the following season in the playoffs. Following the loss to the Chiefs, Bud Adams would dismantle the team and later they moved to Tennessee. Defensive coordinator Jim Eddy moved on to win Super Bowls as a defensive assistant with the Dallas Cowboys, but he never got a DC job again. The Chiefs have yet to win a playoff game since beating the Oilers in the last playoff game in the Astrodome.
The facts are that turmoil of epic playoff losses carry over for years. The 1992-1993 Houston Oilers teams and the 1971 Christmas day Chiefs team are examples of how epic playoff game losses can psychologically damage a franchise and its fanbase over long periods of time. The loss to Colts this weekend by the Chiefs will be talked about for years to come. The Chiefs now have 2 demons to exorcise from their playoff history now. Not able to win a playoff game and the possibility of an epic collapse if they hold a lead.
Can Clark Hunt, John Dorsey, Andy Reid and the Chiefs players carry these burdens and recover from the negative playoff history they have inherited or added. We already know the 1992 Oilers could not recover from the collapse against the Bills. Like Jim Eddy, Bob Sutton may never get another DC job outside of Kansas City. Andy Reid may never see another head coaching job if the Chiefs do not prosper in the near future. A Super Bowl appearance or victory is the only thing that can erase the stench of this Colts loss with this regime that will heal this team and its fanbase.
Chiefs fans have endured so much pain over the last 40 or so years and it appears there may be more pain on the way. If Clark Hunt, Dorsey, Andy Reid and players did not know the pain Chiefs fans have endured over the years they do now after the epic collapse against the Colts.
I am a Chiefs fan for life and will always support them. I hope this epic loss to the Colts strengthens the franchise and pray it does not crumble like the 1992 Houston Oilers, but history says if will be very difficult to recover.

Tea Time.
So In Love With This:
It's heaven in a warm mug. Tazo Chai Tea. Add a little cream and a little splenda for sweetness….yummm.
Isn't it wierd how tea makes you feel a bit sophisticated? (for me anyway). Makes me feel mature, maybe a bit cultured, a bit european.
Reminds me of my travels to London. And the time I had it when I stayed at the Four Seasons in Boston on a business trip…a time when I was too young to be considered a business professional, but I certainly played the part very well. ;)
I can remember the ornate walls of the room, the fresh pink flowers in a silver Tiffany vase, the fine china cup and saucer…the sweet taste of honey and lemon in my tea…the snow flakes swirling around outside.
I thought to myself, "this is it. I have made 'it'. I am a business woman."
Who knew one sip of tea could make me think of a day over 2 years ago?
I think I'm going to go fix myself another mug before I get cracking on these projects and reports! Back to work…
I hear the Cinnamon spice one is good. I think it is special for fall. You gotta love tea.
Awwwwwwwww yummy!!! That one is my favorite tea too :)

There's no place like Chicago on St. Patrick's Day, from the green river to the traditional downtown parade. But this year, the Shamrock Chicago Council wants to take it to the next level.
The council, which is made up of prominent local businessmen and women, is promoting a 2013 initiative which encourages people to vote online to have Chicago named "the U.S. headquarters for St. Patrick's Day."
Voting is open from now through March 12 on the Council's website.
The Shamrock Chicago team and the Shannon Rovers were out Thursday afternoon, blanketing a variety of local Irish pubs to spread the word.

Shorebreak: What are you a psychic now? What's going to happen next year depends upon who ends up winning the great US Presidency crown. Unless I misunderstood the linked article (which of course I just might have) it states (I think) that we shouldn't basically panic but wait to see what happens after the election. They put it in different words of course but that is what I got out of it. However, it does make one wonder if the higher rates played a factor in certain billionaires dumping a chunk of their stocks recently. Well at least this is one thing I won't have to worry about since the entire universe knows I am mainly in CDs. Somebody has to buy them! :)

I have replaced my E71 with a new E6 phone, and I am having performance issues when using a Exchange email account.
I suspect the emails are being saved under "Phone Memory" and after a few weeks, the memory runs very low (about 100 MB free) and the phone gets very slow when replying/managing Exhange emails. I then change the delete period to 1 month (as opposed to NEVER) and the memory free up again (240 Mb free), but it eventually it takes space again and slows down the phone.
In order to minimize this, I would like to confirm if actually emails are being saved under "Phone Memory" and how I can set it up to save the emails under "Mass Memory" (4.6GB free) OR "Memory Card" (3.7GB free), whichever will give me the best performance.
Or any configuration tip in order to free up Phone Memory to have programs running faster. The phone is basically new, with an Exchange account + Gmail account and nothing else much installed.
Please let me know if I forgot any important information.
Thanks in advance,
25-06-2012 6:55 - edited 25-06-2012 6:56
As far as I know, you can't change the destination memory for emails. So I just delete and set up back my Exchange account every couple of months or so.
I have another issue though - my Exchange is quite quick, but Gmail email retrieval is extra slow for some reason, every message loads about 20sec regardless of connection speed.

If you're a veteran, Wal-Mart would like to speak with you about a job.
The retailer announced Tuesday they plan to hire over 100 thousand veterans over the next five years, offering a job to any honorably discharged veteran in his or her first 12 months off active duty.
"I can think of no better group to lead in revitalizing our economy than those who have served in uniform," said Wal-Mart U.S. President and CEO Bill Simon. "Through their service, veterans give us a land of freedom. When they return, it must be to a land of possibility."
It has those in the Ft. Gordon community grateful for the opportunity.
"When it comes time to take the uniform off, to be able to look out and see they're going to get the kind of support to help them transition from the military to the civilian community, it makes a huge difference," says Ft. Gordon Deputy to the Garrison Commander John Curry.
And those at Ft. Gordon say there are many reasons why companies like Wal-Mart are looking for those who have served our country to now serve their company.
"Discipline, dependability, ethics- the soldiers carry all of those," says Ft. Gordon Army Career and Alumni Program Transition Services Manager Ella Freeman.
Freeman works with soldiers moving back into civilian life.
She says the experience gained in the military make veterans attractive candidates to employers.
"Soldiers are leaders," she says. "So they have that leadership experience as supervisors as it translates out there in the civilian sector."
"You apply that to any technical field the individual may have been trained on in the military, and you've got an individual that will fit into anywhere in the civilian workforce," adds Curry.
Now, they say they're glad businesses like Wal-Mart are recognizing the men and women who have served, and the qualities they can bring to their companies.
"The opportunities that are being created are tremendous," says Curry. "You can't ask for a better situation than that."
There are several upcoming opportunities for veterans to find a new job at two job fairs specifically for veterans and military spouses:
U.S. Chamber of Commerce "Hiring our Heroes:
Tuesday, January 22, 9 a.m.-12 p.m.
Savannah Rapids Pavilion
3300 Evans to Locks Rd.
Martinez, GA 30907
Interested job seekers should register at hoh.greatjob.net. (Walk-ups accepted. Veterans must have military ID).
Jobs available for veterans and military spouses.
Ft. Gordon Defense Tech and Intelligence Career Fair:
Thursday, January 31, 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
Gordon's Conference and Catering Center
Bldg. 1842, 19th St., Ft. Gordon
Fair open only to job seekers who already have access onto Ft. Gordon.

Realities of Reuniting
It's summertime. Chances are, you'll have an opportunity to reunite.
Maybe you are a member of one of those families that has elevated reuniting to a major semi-annual event complete with huge group photos of everyone in matching t-shirts.
Or maybe, like me, you'll be celebrating a graduation milestone with a school or college reunion.
My 30th high school reunion is next weekend. I have been asked to speak at the banquet. I assume this is because I am a speaker by trade and my past appearance in my hometown as speaker at the 2009 Commencement proved that I can keep it short. That's what most people value most in s speaker. And chances are, no one who heard me two years ago remembers a thing I said. (Maybe I should just reuse that material!) That's the first reality...even when we want to, we really don't remember much of what we think we will.
My memories of high school are as fuzzy as the photo at the left. I think I remember some things clearly, but maybe that's just because I have a photo of them or the memory is part of a story that has been told and retold--who knows with what degree of accuracy.
I know the people who asked me to speak are hoping I'll be funny. The problem is, I'm not a funny person. I have a certain degree of wit, but it is purely situational. I could relate stories of my age in a funny manner...the fact that I am seriously taking Ginkgo Biloba in the hopes that I will remember why I walked into the garage. But that story's been told before...I think.
And I can't tell jokes to save my soul. I have one good one, and it's not appropriate.
So, I'm left with the Sharing Some Thoughts option. And, I guess that's what I do. I share thoughts. Some insightful people even pay me for my thoughts. But another reality is that 80 percent of the audience will be thinking about something else while I'm speaking. Or they'll be updating their facebook status, texting or tweeting. So I may be way over thinking this.
But here's what I do think...
- What we remember is seldom a fact. Your brother probably wasn't as mean to you as you think--or the meanness wasn't constant as you think it was. Nobody in high school intentionally excluded you. Chances are, no one thought of you at all. That's the sad reality of adolescence. At that age, we think the whole world is watching us and forming opinions about us when, in fact, our peers are far too consumed with their own fledgling identities to give us a second thought.
I heard this about memories, and I have it written down...so I can remember it.
"It is not so important that a memory is factual, but that the feelings that generated the memory existed. And feelings are not facts, but they are true nonetheless."
So when you're attempted to correct another person's recollection, ask yourself if it's really necessary, and are you correcting a fact, or trying to change a feeling?
- Let each other be someone new. Seriously, I am not the person I was in 1981. Are you? Oh wait, a bunch of you were elementary school students. Whatever.
Let each day with those around you be new. Even with the people you think you know. Learn something new about them. If you approach every interaction trapped in your preconceptions; or if you listen to every exchange with a "geez, here he goes again...he hasn't changed a bit" mindset, you block the new good things a relationship might offer.
- If you think "those days" were the best times. You're wrong. If you think they were the worst times. You're wrong. They just were. And I hope you live your life knowing that the best is always ahead of you.
I don't know. This all sounds a little preachy doesn't it? Does anyone have any good jokes?

How Do You Snap Out of a Bad Mood?
Here, Real Simple readers share the tips and tricks that get them out of an emotional slump.
Looking at bright colors makes me feel better. I find it nearly impossible to remain in a dour mood after I put on a lemon
yellow sweater or paint my nails neon orange. Sunny hues remind me of my childhood bedroom, which was painted goldenrod, and
of umbrellas, flowers, and other wonderful elements of spring.
Susanna Cardinale
Cliffwood, New Jersey
A few years back, a devastating event took the wind out of my sails. Trying to find my footing again, I remembered the fun I had had as a kid blowing bubbles. So I went to the store, bought five containers, and started blowing. Lo and behold, I laughed and felt happy! This childhood pastime has become the way that I lift my spirits and celebrate life. For example, my grandpa passed away recently, and we blew bubbles in his honor.
Abby Smyers
Dayton, Montana
I put on scented lotion and enjoy some aromatherapy. One of my favorite fragrances is Bobbi Brown's Beach perfume. The scent reminds me of my family's vacation to Hawaii's Big Island. Goodbye, doldrums.

Downers Grove, Illinois
Every now and then, my work gets stressful and my mood sours. To regain my composure, I quietly close the door of my office and go into a sun-salutation yoga pose, an exercise that causes you to breathe deeply, stretch, and expand your chest. After a few minutes, I find that I can handle things again.

A solo visit to a beauty-supply store always does the trick. The products, especially sparkly eye shadow, make me feel beautiful, and the time spent alone, a rare luxury with two little boys, restores me.

Torrington, Connecticut
Taking a cue from a song of my childhood, "I whistle a happy tune." As I do, I remember that for every minute I spend feeling down, I lose 60 seconds of joy.

In preparing for this countdown, there were certain numbers that were going to be obvious to write about: 7, 10, 27 and today's entry, number 25. The greatest number 25 in franchise history is a man who was as synonymous with the Jets as Shane Doan is for the Coyotes. He is Thomas Steen.
Steen was a 5th round choice of the Jets in the 1979 NHL Entry Draft and would debut in the NHL in the 1981-82 season. He played 73 games as a rookie, scoring 15 goals and 44 points. This would prove to be just the tip of the iceberg as those 44 points would be lowest he'd put up over the next nine seasons. His best individual year was the 88-89 campaign. Steen would play in all 80 games that year (the only season in his career when he would play in every game) scoring 27 goals and a career high 88 points. He also was a +14 (his second best career mark) while adding a career high tying 80 PIMs. He would also set a career high in special team points that season with 27 on the powerplay (9 goals and 18 assists) and 5 short-handed (1 G, 4 A) for 32 total points. Unfortunately, Steen's individual success that season didn't translate into team victories as the Jets finished last in the Smythe division.
In total, Steen would play 14 seasons in the NHL and every single one of them was as a member of the Winnipeg Jets. He totaled 264 goals (4th best in franchise history), 553 assists (still the top mark in franchise history) and 817 points (currently 2nd all-time, but Shane Doan is only 2 points behind him) in 950 games played (3rd most). He was an All-Star in 1990, a two time World Championship silver medalist for Sweden in 1981 and 1986 and a member of three Swedish Canada Cup teams ('81, '84 and '91). His number 25 was retired by the Jets in 1995 and even though he was never a Coyote, the team still considers his number 25 officially retired.
Thomas Steen was more than just a hockey player for the Winnipeg Jets. He was involved with Manitoba Entertainment Complex Inc., a group of businessmen and investors that were attempting to secure an arena for the Jets during the 1994 season to keep the team in Winnipeg. While the group ultimately failed and the franchise headed south to Phoenix, Steen's love for the area would continually manifest itself. After playing overseas for a few years from 1996-1999, Steen was named a scout for the Minnesota Wild. He started as a European scout, but was repositioned to North America and moved back to Manitoba. Steen would actually run for office in Winnipeg, losing in 2008, but winning a spot to the Winnipeg City Council in 2010.
Having your number retired by a franchise is an incredible honor, and Thomas Steen was more than deserving of it. Even though he has never touched the ice in the Valley of the Sun, he is the greatest number 25 in Coyotes franchise history.

Nelson County investigators say they've located and spoken to an individual now being described as a person of interest in the disappearance of 17-year-old Alexis Murphy.
NBC affiliate WSLS reported the new development Sunday afternoon. According to the report, investigators were following up on claims made by Randy Taylor's lawyer, Michael Hallahan, that his client may not have been the last to see the teen before she vanished in early August.
The person of interest hasn't been identified at this point.
Taylor is currently charged with felony abduction. A grand jury will decide on Tuesday whether Taylor's case will head to circuit court. He's currently in jail being held without bond.
Alexis Murphy hasn't been seen since Saturday, August 3.

Minneapolis, MN (SportsNetwork.com) - Nikola Pekovic poured in a game-high 26 points on 10-of-14 shooting from the field as the Minnesota Timberwolves cruised to a 119-92 win over the Charlotte Bobcats.
Kevin Love and Kevin Martin finished with 19 points apiece for the Timberwolves, who had dropped three of five entering the contest, with Love also pulling down 14 rebounds,
"He [Nikola Pekovic] played really well. He got great position and we really had good ball movement tonight. The ball really didn't stop. Pek was doing a great job at making (Al) Jefferson work," said Wolves coach Rick Adelman.
Anthony Tolliver scored 21 points off the bench and Chris Douglas-Roberts finished with 16 for the Bobcats, losers in seven of their last eight games.
Minnesota held a 29-28 lead after the first quarter. The T'Wolves quickly opened up a double-digit lead just under three minutes into the second with an 11-2 surge.
Charlotte was able to get within eight, 42-34, following Kemba Walker's jumper, but the Wolves then went on a 24-9 run to stretch their spread to 66-43 before taking a 68-48 lead into the break.
Minnesota's lead swelled to 31, 88-57, with 4 1/2 minutes left in the third and the Bobcats never got closer than 23 the rest of the way.
"They set the tone for the game with their drives and offensive rebounds, but they scored right away in the paint, which is their game," said Bobcats coach Steve Clifford. "It's their biggest strength. Against them our perimeter defense has to be particularly good, so we're not on rotations, not in help, which opens up Pek to be on the glass. We didn't do a good job with our perimeter defense early and they made us pay."
Minnesota won the battle of the boards by a 54-33 margin ... The Wolves shot
54.5 percent (48-for-88) from the field ... Walker finished with 15 points and
seven assists in the setback.

Perhaps even more than usual, I think this season's playoff seedings will have a HUGE impact on the winners and losers this season. Why? I haven't actually figured that out, yet. Feel free to read on anyhow...
I'm not going to go into too much depth here - at least, not right now, maybe at a later date. I was discussing playoff seedings on another forum earlier, and I came up with the following:
1. San Antonio
2. Dallas
3. Los Angeles
4. Oklahoma City
5. Portland
6. New Orleans
7. Denver
8. Phoenix
If that were to happen, first and foremost I'd be ecstatic, because the Suns had made the playoffs. The point, though, is I think the 4 lower seeds are especially dangerous this year. Nobody knows what Portland is capable of, or where they'll end up injury wise - they're very much an enigma. New Orleans were playing elite ball at times this season. Denver's only a hot streak away from causing an upset - JR Smith and Danilo Gallinari are probably two of the streakiest shooters in the league. And of course, there's our beloved Suns, who I'm predicting will match up with the Spurs in the first round.
Aren't we just one season removed from SWEEPING the Spurs? I can honestly say I'm not scared at all of the Spurs, and I think last season was just a little teaser of things to come in the old rivalry. Am I the only one here that can visualise a deep, deep Channing Frye three putting the dagger through the old, decrepit Spurs for the last time? How about BAMF rising up and swatting away a would-be game winning layup from Manu or TP?
In my mind, there's hope yet. We're not doomed to a first round exit, not in my opinion.

Proposals for new parliamentary constituency boundaries could see Rochdale undergo radical changes.
Plans launched by the Boundary Commission for England (BCE) show that Rochdale would be split into two seats, namely Rochdale North and Rawtenstall and Rochdale South.
This will be the first time since records began that Rochdale would not have its own MP.
The current MP for Rochdale is Simon Danczuk, of the Labour party.
The seat for Heywood and Middleton, currently held by Labour's Jim Dobbin MP, will also see changes, with a lone Middleton seat.
The wards incorporated into the proposed seats are listed below:
The review of constituency boundaries is being carried out after Parliament decided that there should be a reduction in the number of constituencies across the UK, and that there should be similar numbers of electors in each constituency. The number of constituencies in England is being reduced from 533 to 502.
Under the BCE's initial proposals 77 of the existing constituencies are unchanged.
The Leader of Rochdale Council, Councillor Colin Lambert described the proposals as "a dog's dinner."
He said: "The mandarins of the boundary commission are to democracy what the bankers are to the economy. People will feel disenfranchised not just from the vote but from the whole process of parliament and laws
"It is dangerous; there will be no accountability for local communities. They have decided to split Heywood and split Rochdale into imaginary boundaries, people will have no affiliation with these areas – it is a kick in the teeth for democracy."
The independent Boundary Commission for England (BCE) today launches a 12-week consultation on its initial proposals for new Parliamentary constituency boundaries in England.
Simon James, Secretary to the Commission, says the BCE is now open to feedback: "Now that we have published our initial proposals we welcome people's participation until the consultation closes on 5 December 2011.

Shedd Aquarium
The John G. Shedd Aquarium is an indoor public aquarium in Chicago, Illinois in the United States that opened on May 30, 1930. The aquarium contains over 25,000 fish, and was for some time the largest indoor aquarium in the world with 5,000,000 US gallons (19,000,000 l) of water. The Shedd Aquarium was the first inland aquarium with a permanent saltwater fish collection. It is surrounded by Museum Campus Chicago, which it shares with the Adler Planetarium and the Field Museum of Natural History. The aquarium has 2 million annual visitors; it was the most visited aquarium in the U.S. in 2005, and in 2007, it surpassed the Field Museum as the most popular cultural attraction in Chicago. It contains 1500 species including fish, marine mammals, birds, snakes, amphibians, and insects.
The Shedd Aquarium was the gift of retail leader John G. Shedd, a protégé of Marshall Field (benefactor of the adjacent Field Museum), to the city of Chicago. Although Shedd only lived long enough to see the architect's first drawings for the aquarium, his widow, Mary R. Shedd, cut the ribbon at the official opening ceremony.
Groundbreaking took place on November 2, 1927, and construction was completed on December 19, 1929; the first exhibits were opened on May 30, 1930. As one of the first inland aquariums in the world, the Shedd had to rely on a custom-made railroad car, the Nautilus, for the transport of fish and seawater. The Nautilus lasted until 1959.
In 1930, 20 railroad tank cars made eight round trips between Key West and Chicago to transport 1,000,000 US gallons (3,800,000 l) of seawater for the Shedd's saltwater exhibits.
In 1933, Chicago hosted its second world's fair, the Century of Progress. The Aquarium was located immediately north of the fairgrounds, and the museum gained exposure to a large international crowd.
In 1971, the Shedd Aquarium added one of its most popular exhibits, a 90,000-US-gallon (340,000 l) exhibit reproducing a Caribbean coral reef. That same year, the aquarium acquired its first research vessel, a 75-foot (23 m) boat for exploring the Caribbean, manned by a crew to conduct field research and collect specimens. In 1985, this boat was replaced with the aquarium's current vessel, the Coral Reef II.
John Shedd's grandson, John Shedd Reed, who had served as president of Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad from 1967 to 1986, was president of the aquarium's board from 1984 until 1994, and was a life trustee until his death in 2008. Ted A. Beattie has been the president and CEO of the aquarium since 1994.
In 1991, the Shedd Aquarium opened its Oceanarium, a large addition to the aquarium that features many marine mammals, including Pacific white-sided dolphins and belugas. The main 3,000,000-US-gallon (11,000,000 l) tank made it the largest indoor marine mammal facility in the world. In 2006, the Beluga whale Puiji gave birth to a female calf, later named Bella. On August 16, 2007 Mauyak, another beluga, gave birth to a male calf named Miki, the Inuit word for small, bringing the total number of successful beluga calf births at the aquarium to three since 1999. The aquarium also boasts a number of sea otters; the core of this collection was a group rescued from the Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989. In the Fall of 2008, the Shedd's Ocenarium was closed for preventative sealing as well as administrative upgrades. The animals in the exhibit area were put on loan to other facilities nationwide until the exhibit reopened in May 2009.
The Shedd's newest permanent exhibit, Wild Reef, opened in 2003. Located two levels below the main building, the 750,000-US-gallon (2,800,000 l) Wild Reef exhibit recreates a Philippine coral reef and is based on the Apo Island Marine reserve, complete with living coral, multiple species of fish and rays, and a collection of sharks. The main draw of this attraction is a 400,000-US-gallon (1,500,000 l) shark exhibit with 12-foot (3.7 m) high curved windows, allowing visitors a diver's-eye view. The Wild Reef exhibit also features a saltwater tank display area where coral is propagated and grown for conservation purposes.
There are five permanent exhibits at the Shedd: Amazon Rising, Caribbean Reef, Waters of the World, the Oceanarium, and Wild Reef. The temporary exhibits include the Lizards and the Komodo King, which features a Komodo dragon named Faust, through the summer of 2008. The Amazon Rising exhibit is a 8,600-square-foot (800 m2) walkthrough flooded forest recreation of the Amazon river and the surrounding jungle. This exhibit contains 250 different species, and its highest water level is 6 feet. The Caribbean Reef exhibit was built in 1971, on the site of the aquarium's very first exhibit, the Tropical Pool. A feature of this exhibit is a diver that interacts with the animals while talking with the people. A part of the exhibit is a 90,000-US-gallon (340,000 l) circular tank that allows for maximum walk-around viewing. the tank is near the center of the first floor, and is within walking distance of Amazon rising, Waters of the World and Wild Reef. The Oceanarium is split into two levels, above and below the waterline. Above the waterline, there are two sets of bleachers where can watch the dolphins perform. While below the waterline, guests can see the Beluga Whales and Dolphins up close.

Change will come, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but it will come. You have to believe.
I close my eyes and see a better world. People there are fearless and connected, they are my friends. I'm there, I'm free. And this Earth itself is healed, and where nothing suffers.
Sometimes late at night, visited by dread and shame, I lie in bed and think about somebody
else's life. I imagine the love that they are getting and the relief that comes from being
really known, the private pleasures they share, friends they have and the pressures they don't,
their sense of importance, the satisfactions of their work. I imagine how fulfilled they are,
how rich their life is. And in these moments, I feel empty and wanting.
Sometimes I think of someone else's life. I imagine all the love they do not have. I see the passion that is missing, and the friends they do not know, and the awful pressures that crush them. In those moments I realize how much I have, and how much I have to give.

Truant elementary students cost North Coast school districts more than $20 million, according to a state attorney general report that said 1 million statewide elementary students missed class last school year.
Nearly a quarter of Lake County elementary students skipped school last year, the report found, costing districts $416 per pupil — one of the highest rates in the state.
Sonoma County's truancy rate is 12 percent — one of the lowest in the state. But the 5,000 truant students cost county schools $14 million last year, according to the report released Monday.
"We need to confront the behavior early on," said Sonoma County schools superintendent Steven Herrington. "If we don't confront the behavior early, then we will have a bigger problem later."
With a 14 percent truancy rate, Mendocino county schools lost $4 million in state education funds, which are distributed based on attendance.
Napa's 6 percent truancy rate — the third lowest in the state — cost schools $3.8 million.
Studies indicate that chronically truant students — those that miss at least 10 percent of the school year — are more likely to drop out of high school and to end up jobless or turn to crime, the report said.
"Factoring in the costs of incarceration and lost economic productivity and tax revenues, dropouts cost California an estimated $46.4 billion per year," the report said.
California schools lost $1.4 billion in state funding due to truancy, the report found.
State law, which requires children ages 6 to 18 to attend school, defines truants as those who are absent or tardy more than 30 minutes without a valid excuse three times in a school year.
At the beginning of the school year, Sonoma County District Attorney Jill Ravitch sent a letter to parents of school-aged children saying that her office would crack down on truancy.
"The District Attorney's Office, with the cooperation of the schools, the police and the courts, will prosecute parents who fail to get their children to school on a regular basis without a valid excuse and, therefore, violate the truancy law," the letter said.

News: N.O.R.E. Issues "100 Miles & Running" Challenge, "A Hundred Miles Is Crazy" [Video]
Friday, Aug 28, 2009 7:00PM
CNN's N.O.R.E. has issued a challenge to fans and rappers alike to join his "100 Miles & Running" competition beginning next week which will feature him trying to meet a goal of completing 100 miles within 30 days.
Nore made the announcement Friday (August 28) afternoon.
"We gonna do a challenge," Nore said in a video. "A hundred miles in thirty days. SuperThugNore is my profile on Nike.com. If you want to get down, you can go and get these sneakers -- A hundred miles in 30 days so I want everybody on Twitter tweeting...I'll check out your profile -- and see what you guys ran. I'm a big guy so for me to run a hundred miles is crazy...I'm ready to jump on the scale with Busta [Rhymes], anytime he wants to jump on the scale -- a hundred miles and running, it's coming. September 1st to September 30th, sign up and get down if you wanna get a little bit more healthier." (YouTube)
He also promoted the challenge via his personal blog.
Nore will attempt to run 100 miles within the month of September in his '100 Miles & Running Challenge'. Nore will not vlog his progress as we have with his diet vlogs, instead, you can follow Nore on his Twitter (Twitter.com/Noreaga) and his My Nike profile (My.Nike.com/SuperThugNore) to see all his updates and progress. Add Nore on his Nike profile and challenge him. See if you can out run the Superthug. Challenge begins September 1st and runs through September 30th. Now check out some of his recent workout footage and introduction to the '100 Miles & Running Challenge.' Hang Hang. Oh yeah! And the bet with Busta is still on! (57th Ave)
Diddy also made a similar running challenge for his 2003 "Run This City" marathon charity run where he competed in New York's annual showdown.
P.Diddy is looking to raise money for a number of causes, including NYC school kids, an pediatric AIDS charity, and his own organization that mentors children. Diddy's sponsors include Nike, McDonald's, Foot Locker, MTV, Pinnacle Vitamins and Yucaipa book publishing, and while he did meet with Schools Chancellor Joel Klein and the Mayor, they will not be in attendance at P.Diddy's Niketown press conference. (Gothamist)
N.O.R.E. previously spoke on his unexpected weight gain last summer.
N.O.R.E. claims his issues with the music played a major role in his weight gain which later reached 310 pounds. "I was depressed from what I did with the Reggaeton and I don't regret what I did with the Reggaeton, I regret how it went down," he said in an interview. "But I became depressed." He says it was this depression that led him to eat until he was extremely over weight. (Cipha Sounds & Peter Rosenberg's Morning Show)
