Devon Alexander will be here to take your questions at the top of the hour!
Buzzmaster (12:07 PM)
Devon is here!
Willie (LA)
Do you feel any slower at the new weight?
Devon Alexander (12:09 PM)
Actually I feel fast and stronger. The speed is still there and I feel much much much better.
ed (butler p.a)
alex whats up?maidana said he is knocking you out what are you going to do?
Devon Alexander (12:10 PM)
Well, he says that, I'm going to be shooting for the same thing. The name of the fight is Arch Enemies. It's going to be a war. It will be a good fight.
Bill (Ridgeland MS)
What is your biggest concern when facing your opponent this Saturday night?
Devon Alexander (12:10 PM)
My biggest concern? I don't have any concerns, other than getting hit in the back of the head. I don't have any concerns. He's an all around clean fighter. No concerns.
Greg (VA)
Is your new weight closer to your walking around weight?
Devon Alexander (12:11 PM)
Yeah. Sort of. I walk around at 158. It's more comfortable getting down to 147 than 140. It's kinda, sorta closer to my walking around weight.
Jeff (Colorado)
In your last bout you defeated a very powerful puncher in Lucas Matthysse. Now your going against another big puncher in Maidana, will you change your strategy any that used against Matthysse for Maidana?
Devon Alexander (12:12 PM)
For my last fight, I wasn't 100 percent. I was 65 percent. Going into this fight with a power puncher, I will be able to handle it more and control the pace at the same time. Add more power too. More speed and more combinations. My legs will be fresher.
Karl (Detroit)
What made you decide to move up in weight?
Devon Alexander (12:13 PM)
I've been fighting 140 since I was 15. I'm older now, I'm 25. I've grown. I'm becoming a man. My man strength is there. It's hard to make the weight now. It's hard to make weight with more muscle. Leaner and less fat. That's why I moved up, it was harder to make 140.
Vicmatic_TKO (north jersey)
If you beat Maidana, what would would you want to go after next?
Devon Alexander (12:13 PM)
After this fight, the sky is the limit. 147 is packed with the most talent. It has the most talent in boxing. I'm sure they'll be coming after me after I beat Maidana.
Jeff (Colorado)
Often times a Boxer can be defined not by a win but how he handles a loss. How did in any way did your loss to Timothy Bradley change you as a Boxer? If at all?
Devon Alexander (12:15 PM)
I'm actually a competitive person. I hate to lose. It was hard to lose that fight. I have a lot of positive people around me. THey said it could be for the best. I want to get that loss revenged. But I feel that I believe in my skill. I know what I'm capable of doing. That loss will be revenged one day and I'll be back to where I need to be.
Samuel (Indianapolis)
Devon, Do you feel it should be you fighting pacman?
Devon Alexander (12:15 PM)
Ha...yeah. I definitely believe that. But I believe everything happens for a reason. I guess it's his time to get that shot. My time is probably not now. I took a different route. It will come back. I'm patient.
Craig (Sarasota)
If you win Satrurday night do you want the winner of Pacman vs Bradley or the winner of Cotto vs Mayweather?
Devon Alexander (12:16 PM)
I would want to fight the winner of Pacquiao-Bradley. That would be a better chance of me getting that fight than Mayweather. You never know what Mayweather is going to do. Plus, I want to get Bradley anyway. I'll be watching closely.
Ry (OH)
Do you try to only fight in the St. Louis area so the judges will give you gift decisions even when you get beat up like you did by Matthysse?
Devon Alexander (12:17 PM)
It doesn't matter where I fight at. I'm a big draw. It's not my fault that the opponent isn't a big draw. The fans come out to see me. They choose to take the fight. It's definitely not my fault.
Larry (Phoenix)
How does it feel walking around at your new weight?
Devon Alexander (12:18 PM)
It feels good. During this week, I've got some bounce to me. I've got some energy in my legs. Less stress. I'm able to focus at the game plan. I don't have to worry about making the 140 limit. I have a lot more energy.
Jaron (STL)
Is training in St. Louis a distraction with everyone from your old neighborhood being around?
Devon Alexander (12:19 PM)
People know that when I'm training in St. Louis, I'm secluded. If anyone says they see me anywhere, it's a lie. I have a private gym in St. Louis. I'm a private person when I'm training. I don't even stay with my family most of the time. I'm secluded during camp.
Ry (OH)
Haha I have to give you props for posting and answering that question.
Vicmatic_TKO (nother jersey)
why was thight fight only 10 rounds? Both are you are world class, why not 12/
Devon Alexander (12:20 PM)
We both can handle that. We are both top notch guys. We can go 12 rounds. But it's not a title fight. My manager and Maidana's people had a mutual decision to go 10 because it's not a title fight.
Devon Alexander (12:21 PM)
Saturday night, it's going down. You'll see me back in action. You can see a good performance. Tune in Saturday night!

Make sure to have your camera ready for spectacular shots of this famous lighthouse and picturesque setting. We then venture to Lunenburg, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. During your free time here, explore the quaint Main Street, shop for souvenirs, or spend time at the Fisheries Museum to learn more about this major fishing port. Returning to Halifax, visit the CITADEL with its early 19th-century, star-shaped fort. The rest of the day is at leisure.

Before arriving in New Brunswick we'll stop at SUGAR MOON FARM to enjoy a [LF] Maritime sugar camp lunch, along with a guided tour and traditional sugar camp treat.

Day 4: Moncton–Hopewell Rocks–Charlottetown.
This morning, travel to HOPEWELL ROCKS and learn about the highest and wildest tides in the world, which rise and fall up to 52 feet.

Learn more about the region's nature and wildlife with a visit to CAPE JOURIMAIN. Drive across the 8-mile-long Confederation Bridge and cross onto Price Edward Island.

Day 6: Charlottetown–Ceilidh Trail–Baddeck.
This morning, board a FERRY that whisks you across the Northumberland Strait to Pictou, known as the "Birthplace of New Scotland." It was here that the first boatload of Scottish Highlanders landed in Nova Scotia in 1773. Then, travel along Ceilidh Trail, where Scottish traditions and Gaelic folklore come alive. Upon arrival in Baddeck, visit the ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL MUSEUM, where exhibits trace the achievements of the great inventor who spend his last years on Cape Breton. (B,D)
Day 7: Baddeck. Excursion to Cape Breton Highlands National Park.
Travel along the CABOT TRAIL, considered one of the most scenic drives in the world. Proceed along the coast, savoring magnificent vistas of the rocky shoreline and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Enter CAPE BRETON HIGHLANDS NATIONAL PARK, a landscape that strikingly resembles Scottish coastal regions. At the Acadian village of Cheticamp, enjoy a [LF] demonstration on how the famous hand-hooked rugs are made, along with a traditional Acadian lunch.

The weekend is finally here! Which means absolutely nothing to those of us who work weekends, but it is nice in theory.
Regardless of whether or not I work on Saturday, Friday nights for me usually involve a good meal, a good book, some wine, and a long soak in the bath.
What are you up to this weekend, Persephoneers?
Here's a favorite Friday night song for y'all.

Though it's a good way to connect with others and a fundamental part of living near train tracks, pouring one's heart out to strangers is an unsustainable career. Learn a more employable pour with this Groupon.

- Mixing kit that includes a mixing glass, shaker, pour spouts, strainer, bar spoon, and a wine and beer opener in a carrying case (a $49 value)
ABC Bartending School
The mixologists at ABC Bartending School utilize years of bartending experience to divulge saloon secrets in certification-based and recreational bartending classes. In the mixology course, expert instructors impart drink recipes and refine beer and wine palates while students shake up cocktails and take cover from projectile champagne corks. Certification classes prepare students for bartending careers as they mix classic and popular drinks while learning about alcohol laws, responsible liquor service, and stocking and inventory. Instructors demonstrate free pouring techniques, allowing students to fill faraway glasses or safely drizzle beverages into the mouths of piranhas. ABC's job-placement program puts graduates to work in restaurants, nightclubs, sports bars, hotels, country clubs, and cruise-ship bars.
The instructors are very friendly and extremely knowledgeable as they are bartenders themselves, not just instructors at a school.Lisa H., Yelp, 1/20/12

In response to a Dec. 13 FCW article on a report that said the government is decisively losing the battle for IT talent, a reader wrote:
"In a ploy to appease the masses, the government has decided to cut corners, and one of the simplest ones to cut is IT. And what's been cut the deepest is how they treat the people in IT, especially the people who do the work. So many will talk about how much is being spent in IT, but they balk at talking about the things they're doing to attract and keep IT workers. You end up with great servers being run by many unhappy administrators."
Reid Davenport responds: That comment demonstrates how difficult it is to clear the smoke of ambivalence and pinpoint how to refill the talent pipeline. Even though the report identifies compensation disparity as a major hindrance to employee recruitment and retention, its reasoning is backed by employee perception rather than concrete numbers.
How do you compare a worker's salary at Microsoft or IBM with one in the government? Do you base it on job title, experience, number of people managed or other factors? As you start going down the list of job details in order of tangibility, with compensation theoretically on top, it becomes less and less feasible to compare the public and private sectors.
Job culture and how IT professionals are treated are among the myriad complaints flung at government. But again, how can we decide whether Microsoft or the Department of Homeland Security treats its IT professionals better? If you say salary, we're back to square one.
This isn't to say that all comparisons between the public and private sectors are useless or naively simplistic, but rather that as issues concerning the federal workforce become less tangible, the margin of error increases.
There is, however, one measurable area other than compensation that the government could pay more attention to. At a time when science, technology, engineering and math jobs are supposed to land the big bucks, STEM's college majors are becoming more attractive. If the government is serious about filling the pipeline, it needs to find a way to recruit college graduates more effectively. Maybe that means creating more programs like the Presidential Innovation Fellows program, which attracts the best and brightest from the private sector in exchange for a prestigious resume line and an opportunity to effect real change in the public sector.

STEM graduates are great--but lots of the best IT people are Liberal Arts graduates. Learning IT doesn't necessarily take a STEM degree. Liberal Arts graduates have been taught to think--which helps in any job.
Mr. Davenport is taking refuge in what he desires to perceive as intangibles and incomparables. There is some merit to this, not because the issues discussed are incomparable, but because the hard work to compare them systemically has been neglected. It is perfectly feasible to align and compare private and public sector IT responsibilities for various positions. The government-side position descriptions, however, are lumped into '2210' or '1550', and local HR departments do not permit requirements in excess of the de minimus OPM definitions for GS-rated positions. On the private sector side, because the hiring manager is less constrained by law, the position descriptions are less clearly laid out, and less uniform.
Any reasonable study of public/private sector IT position comparisons, however, should look to individuals moving between positions - the actual history of comparable skill sets. The compensation calculations (including benefits package weighting) is quite achievable.
Culture and environment are comparable - the first-order statistics are turnover rates and job satisfaction rates. These are readily measurable. Beyond that, at least on the federal side, the job satisfaction survey dives deeper into particulars and subcategories. Similar surveys can be conducted on the private sector side - though it requires effort.
I would submit that these types of studies have not been performed, and are disparaged, because the federal sector will fare so poorly in the comparison. Particularly in the areas of job satisfaction and culture. Federal IT is sorely in need of a reboot, and that has to start with the capability of its management, and the culture they engender.

Described as "a very nice guy," Richard Barry, 44, of Seaford, was arrested last week after officials at the Levittown-Seaford-Wantagh Athletic Association reported money missing from its bank account.
It was standing room only at the Feb. 24 Board of Education meeting for the Levittown School District as a large group of students were there to show their support for the GC Tech sports fitness course in danger of going to the chopping block.
Families turned out in large numbers to take part in the Levittown Community Council's Ninth Annual WinterFest on February 13. More than 600 people attended the event held for the first time at Levittown Hall.
Governor David A. Paterson's proposed 2010-11 executive budget calls for several state parks on Long Island to close and others to cut their hours and services due to a state budget shortfall.
Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano was joined Feb. 17 by Timothy Jaccard, president of the AMT Children of Hope Foundation/Baby Safe Haven Program, to announce that Nassau County will be the first county in the nation to implement a new program identifying ambulances as official "baby safe haven" drop-off sites. The ambulance signage program is part of a national campaign to raise awareness about the program, which allows for mothers to legally and safely relinquish their babies at certain locations.
Hempstead Town Supervisor Kate Murray, joined by Councilwoman Dorothy Goosby, announced that she will propose a measure that would "jump start" the stalled development plan for 77 acres of land surrounding the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum at a press conference at Hempstead Town Hall.
The last words from a 20-year-old resident came from a text message sent to his dealer. It read, "i'm diggin' this — my dude, best I had in a while. 4 real. Save my number, peace." That was sent before he was found by his mother dead in the bathtub.
The Island Trees School District's 2010/2011 budget, along with all other New York State school districts, will be hit hard and the district is trying to find ways to save money while keeping education a top priority.

Gov. Hassan to pick NH's Preston's song if he makes American Idol top 3
"As we are coming down to our last few finalists, we are reaching out to each of the contestants' hometowns for a bit of input into their upcoming song choice," Danielle Stankard, associate producer of "American Idol," wrote in an email to Hassan's press secretary. "As a representative for New Hampshire, we would love Governor Margaret Wood Hassan to represent the state and pick between the two songs."
"Feel free to poll the office, family, friends and fans to help make the decision," wrote Stankard.
As of noon on Sunday, the poll had about 520 votes for "Story of my Life," or about 77 percent, while "A Team" garnered 160 votes, or about 23 percent.
The polling will end at noon today, so New Hampshire residents are being encouraged to take a minute to make their voices heard. Hassan has until 3 p.m. today to submit her decision to producers of the show.

In the world of reality TV, it can be hard to separate fact from scripted sensationalism. But with Ghost Tracker Ghost Tours, visitors can see firsthand how the investigators on Ghost Tracker TV gauge the paranormal activity of reputed hauntings, and will even get to help document the spooky goings-on. Using the tools showcased on the screen—including EMF readers and K2 meters—tour-goers track the level of paranormal activity at 5–7 haunted sites, all while listening to their guide recount stories of the old court house or the hanging tree. During their 90 minutes of ghost hunting, guests maintain a leisurely pace while covering less than a mile of ground, allowing them ample time to peer around with cameras for spectral images that can't be seen with the human eye. Some tours may be filmed for the show, so guests may be asked to sign a waver in order to enjoy their 15 minutes of fame.
When Amy, a little girl with leukemia, was unable to fulfill her wish to visit Orlando's theme parks before she passed away, hotelier Henri Landwirth vowed that he'd never let a child in need's wish go unfilled again. So he enlisted his colleagues in the hospitality and theme-park industries to help him make his vow a reality. His idea, Give Kids The World, expanded to a 70-acre resort village with more than 140 villa accommodations for wish children and their families, plus entertainment attractions and fun activities specially designed for children with special needs. The organization works with wish-granting organizations, such as Make-A-Wish Foundation, to fulfill any wishes to visit Orlando-area theme parks. In 2011, more than 7,000 wish children and their families from all 50 states and 25 countries visited the resort for a cost-free vacation.
The nationally accredited Kissimmee Main Street program hopes to revitalize Kissimmee's downtown and preserve its history for future generations, as well as make it a place where residents want to go for shopping and dining. The nonprofit does this by hosting a farmer's market on Tuesday evenings and by running a welcome station where visitors can grab information on local shops and restaurants and receive several warm hand shakes. Kissimmee Main Street also puts on special events. These include everything from a food- truck bazaar to a sculpture pub crawl, during which participants view works of art on the street and in galleries while stopping at various food and drink spots.
For the last 28 years, Mark Pulliam, artist and framist at The Artist Studio, has enclosed pictures, portraits, and paintings in customizable casings. Transform sitting rooms into Smithsonians by circumscribing canvases with a spectrum of frame and mat styles, ranging from traditional to modern and minimalist to ornate. Pricing for framing starts at $50 and varies depending on the presentation and size of the piece. Mark Pulliam also protects valued artwork with specialty preservation framing services that will defend self-portraits from the damaging effects of air, light, and lipsticky kisses from aggressive aunts and fan-club presidents.
Best Buddies Ambassadors receive training with a mentor buddy in speech writing and public speaking so they can become advocates for those with IDD and the Best Buddies programs. They learn the necessary tools to help spread awareness about IDD, with the goal to eliminate the use of the word "retard" from everyday language and ultimately create opportunities for others with IDD to socialize and become more involved citizens in their communities. After completing training, Ambassadors can speak to local legislators and Best Buddies chapters, train others with IDD, and work at recruitment fairs and other Best Buddies events.
In an effort to equip youths with the basic tools they need to obtain an education and complete school assignments, HBCU Information Network organizes book-bag drives to generate the funds to purchase and distribute essential school supplies. The students who benefit from the program are given a book bag packed with notebooks, pens, pencils, binders, and folders, as well as calculators, protractors, and compasses for older students.

made these for girls night in, and they hardly made it there, they were so pretty to look at and taste just like the ones you used to buy as a kid......will be making them again
Just divine and were an absolute hit with all children. Used shaved dark chocolate rather than cocoa.

And when people are not in such incredible pain, they can get on with the more transcendent parts of life — doing what they need to do with their family, friends, spirituality.

Comment: Re:Rails is decaying, but Chef is keeping Ruby ali (Score 1) 274
Not zealotry. I'm not a fan of having to install extra software such as Ruby or other agents on every server. If I can't manage every server with the tool, then I continue using what I do now or look for a tool that doesn't need an agent. Heck, security requirements make installing extra software a bear due to dependencies. I have to manually install and chase down the additional packages. We have quite a few older systems which don't support these agents, even cfengine. So having an agentless tool to do configuration management is the goal. I am considering Ansible but if it doesn't work, I'll continue to use my ssh based scripts.

At Shawell, at the moment, there are some handsome looking adult Yellow-legged Gulls that are feather perfect, but there are also a few traps for the unwary (whoever the unwary are). Today I spotted an adult gull with yellow legs but something was not right about it, as far as YLG is concerned. Its legs and bill were not the right shade of yellow for me, its grey colouration was slightly too pale and its jizz was not quite right either. I considered 'yellow-legged' Herring Gull, but I would have liked to have seen a few dark streaks on its head at this time of year. I saw what appears to be the same gull in the afternoon and I could see that it had a few unusual dull dark markings - see the third photo down.
It is difficult to be sure but my gut feeling is that it could be one of the Dutch Yellow-legged x Herring Gulls. In the afternoon I saw a fourth-winter gull, which was similar, but it had much more white than black in its primary wing feathers. A couple of years ago Steve Lister and I saw a colour-ringed Dutch hybrid YLG at Shawell.
I'd be interested to get any opinions on this gull, as it is great to share thoughts on gulls like this. One thing for sure is that gulls keep things interesting and are always setting us challenges.
|Possible Yellow-legged x Herring Gull
|Possible Yellow-legged x Herring Gull
|Note the Odd Markings Under the Tertials
Shortly after seeing the first odd looking gull I spotted the second-winter Casp x Herring Gull that I wrote about on 15/11/14. I saw it better this time and it was clearly a mixture of the two species, so I had been right to be suspicious of it in the first place.
At last, at about 11:00 a pure looking Caspian Gull appeared, but it didn't hang around for long. From what I could see it was a fourth-winter that I had seen previously.
Later on at the lagoons I spotted a clean white headed adult gull. Strangely enough it turned out to be another odd gull. Its bill was sort of Caspian like, but mainly in colour as it was quite short. Its eyes were pale, but not as pale as most adult Herring Gulls. Its wings were short and there was too much black on the longest primary (P10) for a Caspian Gull. It obviously isn't a pure Casp, so it's most likely a Casp hybrid or a very advanced Herring Gull - I favour a hybrid Caspian x Herring Gull.
So far this year I have seen 30 Caspian Gulls at Shawell that I consider to be OK, but I've also seen eight gulls that I consider to be hybrid Caspians. This is probably an accurate reflection of what we should expect in the UK, as the nearest breeding colonies are reported to have a similar percentage of pure compared to hybrid Caspian Gulls. Of course some of these hybrid type gulls are impossible to be 100 % certain of their true parentage.
So if your looking for Caspian or Yellow-legged Gulls at the moment beware there are a few pitfalls to work through.

Through understanding the consumer, every aspect of packaging can be elevated to help brands win.
The first goal in strategizing and designing packaging identity should be to authentically reflect the brand's core identity, and cross-checking the strategy across relevant trends can help inform whether to follow or contrast trends.
With so many coding and marking options available to brand owners, it may be hard to determine which technology might be the best fit for their needs. Those looking to uncover the best solution for their products should take these three important steps: evaluate needs, determine the best options and run sample tests.

Consumers want all they can get of their beauty products, so it is up to beauty brands and packaging suppliers to figure out the best way to deliver.
An evolving beauty industry can have brand marketers guessing at what techniques will work best to get products into consumers' hands, but samples continue to be one of the strongest opportunities to do so.

Strumming Along: Bee Ridge Park bluegrass jam
Date: February 7, 2013
by: Nick Friedman | Community Editor
Charlie Holbrook's first instrument wasn't the upright bass. It wasn't the trumpet, the harmonica or even the piano. Although he's proficient in each of these, the first instrument he remembers playing is the garden hose.
"My dad said I used to run around in the backyard with an old broken garden hose making music," says Holbrook. "I guess I've been playing all my life. I was always making music with something — pots and pans, sticks. I just loved music."
Now 71, the Kentucky native sticks to a more traditional instrument of choice: his upright bass, which he has loaded into his pickup truck and hauled to Bee Ridge Park almost every Thursday night for the last 20 years. At the park, he and an ever-evolving group of fellow musicians get together under the pavilion to socialize, joke and more importantly — play bluegrass.
It started when Holbrook and two friends, Buck Tolbert and the late Floyd Knight, grew tired of making the drive to Indian Mounds Park in Englewood, where musicians gathered for a previously established bluegrass jam session. So, the men decided to host their own session in Bee Ridge Park.
"It started with just the three of us," remembers Holbrook. "We had a real small group, but through friends of ours and word of mouth, it just kept growing."
The group would get together each week under the pavilion to play old country and bluegrass standards.
Unhappy with the exclusive atmosphere of other jams they'd attended, the men made an effort to welcome anyone who'd like to play. They built a following and, eventually, the county gave them a permanent reserved time slot every Thursday night.
Like family
The lineup and audience members vary from week to week, especially during high season, when as many as 15 guitarists can show up to join the band. Knight died three years ago, and Tolbert no longer attends, but Holbrook and a regular group of five or six musicians show up every week to keep the jam going year-round.
Over time, the regulars have become close friends, who have even bought campers and traveled to bluegrass festivals and campouts together around the state.
"When you play like that together, you just become friends," says Don Campbell, a Sarasota native, who has been a regular for eight years. "It's gotten to the point where if they're not going to one of the festivals, I'm not going to go. We enjoy playing together that much."
In fact, Holbrook met his wife of 10 years, Ginger, at one of the weekly jams. A fellow upright bassist, she would attend the sessions, although she admits, at first, she was too nervous to stand near the front.
"I liked the way he played bass," says Ginger Holbrook. "And he was such a nice and friendly person; he was always smiling and joking. I used to joke that I was going to the jams to see my boyfriend."
As Charlie Holbrook puts it, "It was just one of those meant-to-be things."
The relationships formed through the jam sessions go beyond just the core group of regular musicians. The group's emphasis on maintaining a welcoming atmosphere is a big reason it's enjoyed such longstanding success. The musicians also say they make an effort to perform for the audience — not just for themselves.
"I think it's our attitude toward people," says Charlie Holbrook of the jam's longevity. "It's more like a family gathering than anything."
Charles in charge
At an event that draws dozens of musicians each week, from all experience levels, logistics can get tricky. When it becomes difficult to hear one another, or when someone loses place in the chord progression, Charlie Holbrook acts as the group's rock, keeping perfect time throughout any situation.
"If people start losing time, Charlie will just start plucking those strings a little harder," says Campbell. "That gets their attention."
Just as the musicians look to Charlie Holbrook to keep rhythm, Campbell says it's clear who runs the show. With an ever-growing membership, someone has to make sure things run smoothly and that everyone follows the rules to make newcomers feel welcome.
"We don't allow drums, electric guitars or anything like that, because they tend to overpower other people," says Charlie Holbrook. "And it's important that anybody who wants to play gets a chance. You have to be firm, but nice."
Campbell remembers receiving this same courtesy as a learning guitarist.
"When I was growing up and learning to play, the guys I played with never put me down," he says. "I feel like this is my chance to give back."
As participation continues to increase and audiences grow, Charlie Holbrook says he's always glad to see new faces, especially young people who get an opportunity to play in a group setting.
"It's just a good feeling to know that people enjoy what you're doing," he says. "When we can come home and feel like we put a smile on someone's faces, or our own, it's a great situation."

Product description
One of our most influential anthropologists reevaluates her long and illustrious career by returning to her roots-and the roots of life as we know it When Elizabeth Marshall Thomas first arrived in Africa to live among the Kalahari San, or bushmen, it was 1950, she was nineteen years old, and these last surviving hunter-gatherers were living as humans had lived for 15,000 centuries. Thomas wound up writing about their world in a seminal work, "The Harmless People" (1959). It has never gone out of print. Back then, this was uncharted territory and little was known about our human origins. Today, our beginnings are better understood. And after a lifetime of interest in the bushmen, Thomas has come to see that their lifestyle reveals great, hidden truths about human evolution. As she displayed in her bestseller, "The Hidden Life of Dogs," Thomas has a rare gift for giving voice to the voices we don't usually listen to, and helps us see the path that we have taken in our human journey. In "The Old Way," she shows how the skills and customs of the hunter-gatherer share much in common with the survival tactics of our animal predecessors. And since it is "knowledge, not objects, that endure" over time, Thomas vividly brings us to see how linked we are to our origins in the animal kingdom. "The Old Way" is a rare and remarkable achievement, sure to stir up controversy, and worthy of celebration.

Master Mindset
"The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven." ~ John Milton
"Your mind will be like its habitual thoughts; for the soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts. Soak it then in such trains of thoughts as, for example: Where life is possible at all, a right life is possible." ~ Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
"You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength." ~ Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
Let go of all of the thoughts that don't make you strong.
"There is really no reason to suffer. The only reason you suffer is because you choose to suffer. If you look at your life you will find many excuses to suffer, but a good reason to suffer you will not find. The same is true for happiness. The only reason you are happy is because you choose to be happy. Happiness is a choice, and so is suffering." ~ don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements
"I started to assess how much of the pain was real and physical and how much of it was created by my mind and my perception of the pain. I soon realized that it was not the actual pain that was hurting me the most, no, it was the monster I was creating in my head from the pain." ~ Mahyar Hassid, High Existence
"You can conquer almost any fear if you will only make up your mind to do so. For remember, fear doesn't exist anywhere except in the mind." ~ Dale Carnegie
Keep Moving Forward.
"While positive thinking doesn't always work, negative thinking, unfortunately, almost always does." ~ Gary Mack, Mind Gym
For the creative, there is no poverty.
"Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired. When you were younger the mind could make you dance all night, and the body was never tired… You've always got to make the mind take over and keep going." ~ George S. Patton Jr
"The grass is always greener where you water it." ~ Unknown
"Obsessive thinking can do far more harm than good and never actually causes any change. Once you start feeling more present, you'll take less joy in feeding the mental drama around the situation and naturally be less willing to put up with negativity it brings." ~ Chantal Houde, Tiny Buddha
The great thing in this world is not so much where we stand…
"It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness." ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

NBC brings fresh horses for Derby
Published April 28, 2014, Page 6
Network executives believe Saturday's 140th running of the race will again be one of the highest-rated sports programs of the second quarter of the year. Last year's race drew 16.2 million viewers, the second most watched Kentucky Derby in 25 years.
|The Kentucky Derby draws a crowd on TV — 16.2M viewers last year — and at the track..
Churchill Downs Inc. Chairman and CEO Bob Evans attributes the race's high viewership over the years to NBC's presentation and cross-promotion. The network has traditionally plugged the Derby, the first leg of racing's Triple Crown, on programs ranging from the "Today" show to "Access Hollywood" to "The Tonight Show." Evans said it was a big reason why Churchill Downs signed a 10-year extension with NBC early this year.
Jon Miller, president of programming for NBC Sports and NBC Sports Network, said to expect the same formula of cross-promotion this year.
"You will see heavy 'Today' show coverage from it," Miller said. "You will see coverage across all the different platforms of NBC because it's a priority for the company. Quite honestly, it could be the highest-rated sports program — not in prime time — of the second quarter."
NBC's broadcast on Saturday will be three hours long, from 4 to 7 p.m. ET, but NBC and NBC Sports Network will broadcast a total of 15.5 hours of coverage for the week, starting on Wednesday. Last year, NBC and NBCSN provided 14.5 hours of coverage.
|Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir will cast an eye on the Derby's plethora of headwear.
"My first Kentucky Derby was in 2001 when the show was a 90-minute show with 25 cameras and a handful of reporters," Hyland said. "And now in 2014, we are going to be producing 15 1/2 hours of coverage over four days and I have more than a dozen announcers in various roles."
Hyland got the idea to put Brothers, a mainstay of NBC horse racing coverage for years, on top of the new video board about two months ago in meetings at the Louisville, Ky., racetrack. Brothers will wear a helmet camera, and Hyland hopes she will provide a view of the enormity of the video board, as well as the event, which draws more than 150,000 fans.
He also believes the addition of skaters Lapinski and Weir, as well as Elliott, who is well-known to morning show viewers, may add to the race's strong appeal to women. Last year, the broadcast drew more female than male viewers.
"The inclusion of Johnny, Tara and Josh can only help broaden the scope of this sporting event," Hyland said. "People who like racing and like major sports events will watch regardless, but I think these three individuals may help attract people who may be flipping through on a Saturday afternoon and stop and stay around a few hours."
