The view from John Nichols' under-construction residence is, he acknowledges, magnificent – especially if you're a lover of Fort Wayne history.
Out of the nearly floor-to-ceiling windows is the sight of the historic Allen County Courthouse's clock – at face level.
That's because Nichols, one of the developers of luxe condominiums in the Anthony Wayne Building, 203 E. Berry St., has bought one of the project's 39 units. He says he plans to live on the 10th floor when the space is finished.
Nichols' decision to buy in shouldn't come as much of a surprise given that the 51-year-old stands solidly in the heart of the project's demographic.
It's empty nesters, downsizers, whose kids are out of the house and are excited about living downtown after living in the suburbs, he says of those he believes will be attracted to the urban high-rise units.
Price tags start in low-six figures for 806-square-foot units and go up from there. A two-bedroom penthouse with 1,700 square feet (and no clock view) is priced at $297,500.
That amount, according to recent real estate listings, could more than buy 3,400-plus square feet in a two-story, four-bedroom, five-bath contemporary home in the upscale LaCabreah addition off Dupont Road. The home comes with a finished basement, three-car garage and a third-acre lot.
But Nichols, one of four partners in RCI Development, of Fort Wayne, says that's not what some people are looking for. They want to be close to where they perceive the action is.
Parkview Field was a way to jump-start downtown, to get people to come back downtown evenings and weekends. And the Embassy Theatre and Headwaters Park, with the festivals, that all has brought some new excitement. They all have caused people to come back and revisit downtown as a place to live, he says.
Two of those people are Dick and Carol Schwartz, recent retirees who were looking to move to downtown Fort Wayne to be closer to arts and cultural events even before there was an Anthony Wayne Building option.
We were a little bit interested in The Harrison when it was going to be condominiums, but before we could do anything, that project as condominiums fell apart, says Carol, 65, who previously worked in graphic design for Fort Wayne Community Schools.
But the two are now in the process of selling their large and traditionally styled home near Foster Park where they raised their four now-grown children – in favor of moving to a sleekly modern, two-bedroom, courthouse-facing unit on the Anthony Wayne Building's eighth floor.
We've always bought older homes and reworked them, Dick Schwartz says. To actually pick out every little thing – every light fixture, where the wires are and where the walls are – that's new to us. But it was fun.
Carol says she thinks the unit, though in a building designed to house a bank and built in 1961, will seem homey.
The unit has crown molding in the main living area, eco-friendly bamboo flooring, wood kitchen cabinets and quartz countertops with complementing black appliances.
I hope the condo looks warm and inviting as the warmth we've created in our house, she says.
Dick, who calls himself an active 66 and enjoys bicycling on the Rivergreenway with his wife, says one attraction to downtown was being able to walk to cultural attractions and events.
We're looking forward to walking to a lot places we go, he says. We've always attended events at the Embassy (Theatre), and it will be easier to do the little things, the little musical events and events at the library. It will be easier to do more things if we can just walk out and go.
Nichols says a highlight of the living spaces are the nearly floor-to-ceiling windows that run the length of one side of each dwelling, with west-facing units overlooking the courthouse square and east-facing ones showcasing city skyline.
To make the spaces – which were designed to hold offices – seem more home-like, all the existing windows, which reached waist height, were removed in favor of ones that stretch to about 18 inches above the floor and were energy efficient.
It made a huge difference, Nichols said. We removed hundreds of windows. It literally took us about a year removing them. It was worth it because that gave us a more residential feel.
Buyers can choose to install things like bookshelf built-ins, a gas-vented fireplace with a stone surround and wall cuts that allow for additional light.
Kitchens are open-concept, with a breakfast bar opening onto the main living/dining area.
All units have laundry rooms, and some have office nooks.
Nichols says not all the buyers are facing their geriatric years – some buyers have been young professionals who work downtown.
He notes that when the building is finished, it will include amenities that suburban development, even of upscale villas, would be hard-pressed to match.
A basement-level, open-membership fitness club, Anytime Fitness, is already under way, he says, and on the first floor, developers are working to secure a grocery and convenience store or a coffee shop and restaurant.
The building has in-building covered parking, storage for bicycles and an area that will become an outdoor commons with cooking facilities for residents craving a bit of the outdoors.
With the first buyers moving in earlier this month, Nichols says he has commitments for about 20 units – a number that he says has not changed much in the last six months. Three of the units have been reserved by development partners, he says.
The building also has several commercial suites, including law offices, an information technology company and an interior design firm that specializes in offices.
Heather Presley-Cowan, Fort Wayne deputy director of community development, says Anthony Wayne now stands alone in the new-construction downtown condo marketplace, as both The Harrison and another project proposed as condominiums have now been converted to apartment projects.
She points out that projections from a study updated in 2010 show annual demand for 40 to 80 downtown high-rise condominium units with price tags ranging from $140,000 to $350,000.
Earlier this year, Anthony Wayne's developers returned a $1 million loan to the city, saying sales were going so well they didn't need it.
I think that's a huge indicator when someone turns down money like that. When the city decided to invest in that development market, the housing studies done for downtown already showed that this would work, she says of the project.
I think they (project developers) have confidence in what they're doing.

Jobs will return, says Apple's board
The Apple shareholders meeting held Wednesday was dominated by a man who wasn't there: Steve Jobs. All the other members of Apple's board of directors were in attendance, save Google CEO Eric Schmidt, but none would provide any more-detailed information about the missing Jobs. "Nothing has changed," said board member Arthur …
Honorary status
I believe it is possible at Board level to confer an honorary status on a member.
That is a way to confer rights and respect to an individual over and above normal election or membership procedures and processes.
Maybe Mr Jobs could be a first Apple Honorary Board Member?
Jobs, get well
get decent too, if possible.
Aww, what a lovefest ...
whatsa matter? Even the idiot shareholders lose all independent thought ability when in the company of App-holes?
When He returns..
Sorry, I'll only be impressed by Jobs' reappearance if He shows His disciples His wounds (to prove it really really is Him) then ascends to the heavens from the top of a mountain, promising to return one day in the future to lead His people to the New Jerusalem.
Otherwise, he's a phony and the Jesus Phone should be renamed the L. Ron Hubbard Phone from now on.
Well may he say...
Jobbie may well say "I will return", but just what is his stance on Japan, and will he use nukes in Korea?
We demand answers.
Jizzed in their pants
I feel sorry for the janitor who had to clean up the soggy floors and chairs after that circle jerk...
he'll return...in a box
then the i-ashes can be scattered around the apple cafe, very nice too.

Video: Jay Leno & Jimmy Fallon Poke Fun At Late Night War To Be
It appears that NBC didn't learn its lesson with Jay Leno from a few years ago; do not replace him on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon or anyone. It does not end well. For now, Fallon and Leno are taking things in stride.
Appearing in a skit together that takes place between when Leno throws to Fallon, the late night hosts put in a musical number where Jay knows he is being replaced but let's it be known he is not done. That he will go to Fox or even replace David Letterman if he has to, but he is not done.
Leno and Fallon are playing nice...for now. Jay will step aside in the fall of 2014 for Jimmy to take over the Tonight Show, which will move to New York in Fallon's Late Night studios at 30 Rock.
Remember Conan O'Brien? The Tonight Show was his...until NBC executives threw him off the show and replaces him with Jay Leno. the EXACT same executives, mind you, that NBC will be replacing Leno with Fallon this time around, even with Leno still number 1 in the ratings.
Conan has just signed a contract extension for his show with TBS until November 2015.
Leno has dominated in the ratings all year beating Letterman and Kimmel. Arsenio will return to late night with a feel of Fallon's show, stars and musical guests. Letting Arsenio stay and keeping Jay where he is at, will take away viewers from late night, but Leno would still be number 1. Moving Fallon will more than likely keep the Tonight Show number 1 without Leno and have higher ratings.
When your morning show is in shambles, when your prime time line-up except for The Voice is in the toilet, do you really mess with the only thing succeeding; your late night line-up? If your NBC, the answer is yes.-DocFB

Katy Perry Talks Taco Bell & Why Her Divorce Is In New Documentary
Katy Perry is promoting her new movie "Part Of Me" on stopped by "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" and talked about Taco Bell, and when it finally happened for her when it comes to music.
She said that she did her new movie documentary to show what was "underneath the hood" so to speak. She allowed the falling apart of her marriage during the shooting of the movie and felt it had to stay in because people would notice it was missing. Hmm.
She wanted people to see her at her lowest point and her highest point. Interesting. If the divorce from Russell Brand was left out of the movie, would it really offend you? Do we need access to all private moments?-DocFB

Competition Announced for Improving Students' Postsecondary and Job Outcomes
The Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) has announced a new competition in the Federal Register. The competition will select an organization to establish and operate a National Technical Assistance Center on Improving Transition to Postsecondary Education and Employment for Students with Disabilities. Because many students with disabilities continue to struggle in completing high school and gaining the knowledge and skills they need to succeed, OSERS and the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) are collaborating to support this technical assistance center. The center will coordinate its expertise and resources and build capacity by implementing evidence-based practices and strategies in state education agencies (SEAs), local education agencies (LEAs), and vocational rehabilitation (VR) service agencies.
The Federal Register notice can be accessed at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2014-07-02/pdf/2014-15437.pdf. This competition is open to SEAs, LEAs (including charter schools that are considered LEAs under state law), VR agencies, institutes of higher education (IHEs), other public agencies, private nonprofit organizations, outlying areas, freely associated states, Indian tribes or tribal organizations, and for-profit organizations. The Department intends to fund one project for $2.5 million a year for 5 years. The deadline for submitting completed applications is Monday, August 18, 2014.

In the summer of 1858, James Hector set out to discover the Kicking Horse Valley. His expedition took him through some of the most beautiful and rugged country in the West. During a river crossing, one of the pack horses kicked Hector so hard that other in the expedition mistook him for dead. As they began to bury poor old James, they noticed his eye twitch. The legend says it was a stiff cup of Kick Ass Coffee that brought him back to life!

CineGround LUT's for your RED
Starting this week, all CineGround RED cameras will come standard with 2 very special LUT's (Look-up-tables) installed on each camera. These are subtle colour profiles that change the way your image appears on screen while shooting and monitoring.
We've created one look to match that of the ever-popular Arri Alexa Rec 709 look – very useful for those TV-bound commercial productions. We've also created our very own take on the Rec 709 look – tuned to work perfectly with the RED's existing colour science.
What's important to remember is that with RED you're always shooting RAW so you don't have to worry about 'burning in' these looks onto your footage. On the other hand, if you like the look and want to use it as the base-light for your offline rushes, its easy to import the LUT's into RedCine-X to be applied to your transcodes.
Drop by and have a look for yourself!
Check out these three examples below (stills are from GreenGround's upcoming short, "7h, la mer"). All three shots are taken from the RAW 5k r3d image, with 3 different LUTs applied.

[QUOTE]In response to "Is BB getting the job done as Head Coach?": What kind of tool would start such a topic? Belichick is without question the best coach this league has ever seen. The loss in the Super Bowl was mostly due to poor quarterback play and a few dropped passes. Coach B had the team prepared to play but they could not score enough points, most of which fell on poor play by Tom Brady. He has not played well in 6 out of 7 last playoff games.

Shay Elliott : Cycle of Betrayal
A Film by Martin Dwan
77 mins
DVD Region 0 works worldwide
Nominated for an IFTA Award in the best sports programme category.
....`The best Irish sporting documentary in years, presents all the glamour of professional cycling and, at the same time, all the treachery of it.`
Irish Times
...Powerful stuff....full of evocative black and white images of Le Tour..`
Sunday Independent
An absorbing documentary chronicling the life of Ireland`s first professional cyclist.
A pioneer in joining a Continental European team long before Irish legends, Sean Kelly and Stephen Roche found fame and fortune, Elliott was a hero of the cycling world and enjoyed the trappings of sporting stardom. But as his professional career came to a close, his personal life began to unravel, costing him his savings, his marriage, and ultimately concluding in his untimely and tragic death in 1971.
Directed by Martin Dwan, the film looks at the various prestigious races which Elliott nearly won - and the evidence that he was cheated out of many victories, including the World`s - and contains interviews with those cyclists who knew him and who respect for his brillance was matched only by their bewilderment at the scale of his tragedy.
The strength of this moving film is that Elliott is portrayed, not as some detached sports star but as a regular guy who was simply struggling to come to terms with the downward spiral into which he found his life descending.

November 27, 2014
FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) - George Mason athletic director Tom O'Connor says it's "bittersweet" to be leaving the Colonial Athletic Association for the Atlantic 10.
GMU announced Monday it is switching conferences as of July 1.
GMU was one of the founding members of the CAA, but O'Connor said the changing landscape of college sports prompted the move. Two of Mason's regional rivals - Virginia Commonwealth and Richmond - previously departed for the A-10, and the switch also sets up a subway conference rivalry with nearby George Washington.
GMU is paying an exit fee of $1 million and will forfeit at least $1.65 million in conference payouts. University President Angel Cabrera said the move will pay for itself "in as little as five years."
The move leaves the CAA with nine schools for 2013-14.

It is pointed out several times in this book that 'Frenches of England' might be a more accurate phrase than 'French of England'; the sheer multiplicity of ways in which French was spoken, written, and intermingled with the other languages of medieval England means that there is no simple, single definition of the language. This wide-ranging, stimulating and thought-provoking collection of essays, edited by Jocelyn Wogan-Browne as part of the ongoing 'French of England' research programme based at Fordham and York Universities in which she plays a major part, goes a considerable way in teasing out the individual strands, the 'micro-histories', of the ways in which French was woven into the linguistic fabric of England over the 400-year period covered.
The essays in this book – some 34 contributions on topics ranging from the readership of Gower to the consumption of fish by nuns at Campsey Ash Priory – originated as papers given at three international 'French of England' conferences. They cover an enormous amount of both temporal and thematic ground. Rather than tracing a linear, rigidly bordered path through the subject matter,
adopts a deliberately eclectic approach, loosely arranging its material into four main sections: I: Language and Sociolinguistics; II: Crossing the Conquest: New Linguistic and Literary Histories; III: After Lateran IV: Francophone Devotions and Histories; and IV: England and French in the late Fourteenth and Fifteenth Centuries.
Section I, Language and Sociolinguistics, begins with an essay by Serge Lusignan giving an overview of social contact between French and English in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries which makes invaluable comparisons between the situation in England and its counterpart in Flanders, a topic which is too rarely treated by English-language critics. Richard Ingham's article in this section, 'The Persistence of Anglo-Norman 1230-1362: A Linguistic Perspective', rejects the traditional idea that Anglo-Norman was 'a fossilized version of the French brought over with the Conquest', analysing syntactic changes in the two varieties of French to argue that both were living languages evolving in parallel. Meanwhile, Marilyn Oliva's fascinating study of the French kitcheners' accounts of Campsey Ash Priory, a Suffolk convent, suggests that the relatively modest diet of the nuns at this house reflects their non-aristocratic status, and presents these accounts as evidence of the use of French by a non-elite group.
Section II, Crossing the Conquest, addresses the popularly received idea that the events of 1066 caused a cataclysmic linguistic breach, and explores overlaps and continuities in the languages, literatures and cultures of England over the eleventh and twelfth centuries. In '"Stuffed Latin": Vernacular Evidence in Latin Documents', David Trotter examines instances of French vocabulary in pre- and immediately post-Conquest Latin legal documents to show that their authors were in contactwith Normandy well before 1066. Elizabeth M. Tyler's essay, 'From Old English to Old French', challenges the myth of the 'narrative of loss' which has traditionally been told about Anglo-Saxon literature following the death of Wulfstan in 1023. She discusses the openness of Anglo-Saxon England towards new learning from the end of the tenth century onwards and the continuity of English historical and poetic writing after 1066, paying particular attention to the role played by highly educated noblewomen such as Edith, widow of Edward the Confessor, and Edith/Matilda, wife of Henry I, as patronesses of literature during this transitional time.
Section III, After Lateran IV, looks at a number of devotional texts produced in the wake of the Lateran Council of 1215. Jocelyn Wogan-Browne's own contribution, '"Cest livre liseez...chescun jour": Women and Reading c.1230-1430', points out that the French pastoral texts produced for the laity in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries fulfil the same roles as the more frequently studied English-language religious manuals for the 'lewed' circulating in the late fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, and that the latter cannot be fully understood without the former. Taking a striking image of a noblewoman from the Lambeth Apocalypse as a starting point, she explores the 'feminised francophone literary culture' which characterised not just women's devotional reading but lay reading in general. Moving from literature for to literature by women, Delbert W. Russell follows the travels of the nun of Barking's Life of Edward the Confessor to Amiens, where a French prose
was written for the de Châtillon family, counts of St Pol. This example of a francophone text crossing the Channel from England to France serves as a useful illustration of the mobile nature of French and French texts, and the possibility of their moving in both directions.
Section IV, English and French in the late Fourteenth and Fifteenth Centuries, considers the ways in which French remained a working language in England during this period. As Tim William Machan remarks, 'English did not so much triumph over Latin or French as cease to compete against them'. Machan's essay discusses at the evolving status and role of French in England from the end of the Middle Ages to the early modern period, looking at the teaching of French from Walter de Bibbesworth's thirteenth-century
to Princess Katherine's English lesson in Shakespeare's
The collection's final essay, by Stephanie Downes, examines the reception of Christine de Pizan's
in England, and concludes that continuing demand for French-language versions of Christine's works 'bears witness to the multilingual and multicultural practice of fifteenth-century manuscript production'.
is a book of filling in blank spaces, of making links between areas of study which are often artificially separated. For many years, 'Anglo-Norman' studies tended to fall between the larger linguistic stools of 'English' and'French' studies; although the work of the last thirty years has done much to counteract this, there is still much work that remains to be done on the Frenches of England. Wogan-Browne's anthology is an invaluable and often highly readable addition to the field, and anyone with an interest in the languages of medieval England will find much to enjoy within its pages.

Chronic knee pain forces more than half a million people to undergo knee replacement surgery each year and for decades, doctors asked younger patients to live with the pain to avoid revision surgery a decade down the road. Thanks to new technology, those days are officially over.
Charles Thompson's workout routine used to be high-impact until a knee injury shut him down.
"Day in and day out; pain, pain, pain," said Thompson. "I can't even explain the pain."
Thompson used to play college football but after graduation, the pain kicked in and after a few years, it all went downhill.
"In the last three years I stopped going into the weight room because of pain," said Thompson.
The problem with older knee replacements is the material. The top portion is made of cobalt chrome which is sturdy but wears down the plastic lower portion.
"You get a scratch on the metal but then that metal as the knee moves, starts rubbing on the plastic," said David Watson, doctor at Tampa's Florida Orthopedic Institute. "It essentially becomes sandpaper, rubbing the plastic away."
Watson has the solution, verilast technology.
Verilast technology is a metal alloy, oxinium, that has the feel of a ceramic and is supported by new Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved evidence.
The smoother surface means less scratching and wear. It can last 30 years, double of the life of the old chrome version, only 15 years.
Simulations show that after three decades, the alloy has 81 percent less wear than three years of the chrome.
"There's a real benefit with wear characteristics without the downside of ceramic in the knee," said Watson.
One month after surgery, Thompson has been able to hit the weights again after three full years on the sideline.
"Now, that I'm able to do the swimming and go into the weight room, I'm very happy again," said Thompson.
And while he may be sore tomorrow, the real benefit is a knee that will last as long as he does.
The FDA cleared the new evidence for verilast in 2010 and long-term studies are underway.
Research Summary:
WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOUR KNEE: The knee is the largest joint in the body. Normal knee function is required to perform most everyday activities. The knee is made up of the lower end of the thighbone (femur), which rotates on the upper end of the shin bone (tibia), and the kneecap (patella), which slides in a groove on the end of the femur. Large ligaments attach to the femur and tibia to provide stability. The long thigh muscles give the knee strength.
DO YOU NEED A NEW KNEE? Most patients who undergo total knee replacement are age 60 to 80, but orthopedic surgeons evaluate patients individually. Recommendations for surgery are based on a patient's pain and disability, not age. Total knee replacements have been performed successfully at all ages, from the young teenager with juvenile arthritis to the elderly patient with degenerative arthritis.
NEW KNEES: THE SOLUTION: Based on in-vitro wear simulation testing, the LEGION Primary Knee System with VERILAST technology is expected to provide wear performance sufficient for 30 years of actual use under typical conditions. The results of in-vitro wear simulation testing have not been proven to quantitatively predict clinical wear performance. Also, a reduction in total polyethylene wear volume or wear rate alone may not result in an improved clinical outcome as wear particle size and morphology are also critical factors in the evaluation of the potential for wear mediated osteolysis and associated aseptic implant loosening.
NEW KNEES: THE TECHNOLOGY: Previously, new knees were made from a top portion of cobalt chrome, and a lower portion of plastic. While this combination is proven to function well, normal activities force the coarse surface of the cobalt to wear-down the plastic - which results in a shorter lifespan of the knee. New technology allows for a smoother metal alloy (Oxinium) to be used instead of cobalt chrome - which decreases basic wear-and-tear, and increases the lifespan of the knee.
SURGICAL COMPLICATIONS: The complication rate following total knee replacement is low. Serious complications, such as a knee joint infection, occur in fewer than two percent of patients. Major medical complications such as heart attack or stroke occur even less frequently. Chronic illnesses may increase the potential for complications. Although uncommon, when these complications occur, they can prolong or limit full recovery. Blood clots in the leg veins are the most common complication of knee replacement surgery. Your orthopedic surgeon will outline a prevention program, which may include periodic elevation of your legs, lower leg exercises to increase circulation, support stockings, and medication to thin your blood.

Or maybe Russia just wanted a little fun this April! Check out more of the bubble flash mob pics below.
If that doesn't put a smile on your face, I don't know what will. I love all the dance flash mobs, but bubble blowing when everyone can participate sounds way more fun.

Albany Avenue Elementary School recently launched a before-school fitness program called Walking to Wow, encouraging students to walk for 20 minutes before the school day begins. The program is based on a recent fitness study conducted by The University of Illinois-Urbana.
The study concluded that walking for fifteen minutes a day could increase student performance in a series of key academic areas. The areas of student performance improved by walking increased the volume of the brain, increased efficiency and other cognitive processes such as memory, attention and decision-making.
