Sony offered PMA attendees a look at what's coming next in their Alpha lineup including a successor to the Alpha a700 DSLR and a couple of new high-end lenses.
Two new DSLR mockups on display provided a look into what Sony's planning for the mainstream consumer as well as a new DSLR to succeed the Alpha a700. The latter was displayed with a Zeiss branded lens attached as seen below.
The more compact, mainstream mock-up was displayed side-by-side with its bigger brother. Sony already offers a strong contingent of compact, beginner-friendly alpha DSLRs.
For the serious Alpha enthusiast, Sony also announced two new lenses. A Distagon T 24mm f/2 ZA SSM will offer more wide angle possibilities to the lens lineup. Next to it, the new 500mm f/4 G Super Telephoto lens was shown.
As with their simultaneous announcement of a new ultra-compact, interchangeable lens camera concept, Sony was quiet about specs and details of the new systems.

Shazam! Now that's a pair of SOCKS! Cool. Sock it to me! -Babka |
Great job on those! I've finished one pair, and ripped out all of one sock on another pair. I had it past the gusset, and it was too tight. Make sure your needles are the right size! I do mine on circs. Both at the same time, but on seperate needles. One sock is right, the other had to be completely re-done. Not happy. Of course, it was the one that was farthest along. Also on the needles is a sweater that has been going for two years and is finally getting worked on again, cause I finally found the rest of the yarn in my stash. And the Akimbo shawl from Ravelry. I'm to the hard part now on that. I think I have managed 3 rows of the lace pattern. Tami |

On stage announcing the creation of a Software Engineering Academy this afternoon, Mayor Bloomberg revealed that the high school had the support of Fred Wilson and the city's tech community. Betabeat has learned a little bit more about how that will work.
According to Department of Education spokesman Frank Thomas, Mr. Wilson has committed to financially supporting the school and to raise money for the school from the tech community at large. We have heard from other sources that Mr. Wilson's financial commitment will be philanthropic and that the goal is to raise around $1.25 million, although that number has not been confirmed.
No other private investors have yet been named, but Silicon Alley insiders have been involved with the initiative from the get-go. A plan for the school has been in the works for the past six to eight months, said Scott Schwaitzberg, a principal policy advisor on the school, who recently left City Hall for the startup world to join Anil Dash as vice president at Activate. Mr. Schwaitzberg said the idea started with a round table discussion with folks like Mr. Wilson, Foursquare's Naveen Selvadurai, Dogpatch Lab's Matt Meeker, as well as Mr. Dash.
Even as discussions to build a graduate school of applied sciences were ongoing, the city was itching to do more to support the tech industry and education in New York. The schedule for tech campus offered more of a long-term impact. The EDC had also make roadway in supporting incubators for existing startups, but "We were missing that critical middle of investing in the two to five year time frame," said Mr. Schwaitzberg.
Mr. Selvadurai, Mr. Meeker, and company urged them to think younger. "They kept saying, you really need to start training these kids earlier, you really need one program that delivers on that."
Independently, Mr. Wilson had heard about the program Mike Zamansky was running out of Stuyvesant High School from some of Mr. Zamasky's graduates and Mr. Wilson reached out the city about it. "We realized it was a great opportunity for a our model of public-private partnerships," said Mr. Schwaitzberg.
With the tech community in full support of the software engineering high school, it would be easier to "fast up" the design, he said. Also on the advisory board were heads of engineering teams at a bunch of startups as well as the hackNY.
Getting the Union Square location was also key, said Mr. Schwaitzberg, because of its proximity to the startups and tech companies in the area. Both in terms of having students of the academy involved at, say, General Assembly, or Google, or Foursquare, as well as having engineers visit the school as instructors.
"We got other computer schools out there, this is about creating software," he said. Not about starting companies, Betabeat wondered? "And potentially companies, we don't expect every single graduate to go and launch the next Foursquare, we do expect them to have the tools to make working code."
The impact, Mr. Schwaitzberg predicted, would go beyond just the students at the academy. School principals, he noted, have a lot of leeway in adding programs that work to their curriculum.
Another big ancillary benefit of the school, he noted, would exposing engineering to a more diverse student body and "getting kids who are representative of New York City" to code.

Adapted from a time line created by the Reverend Julie Kain, originally published in In Their Own Words, Alice Forsey, ed. (Starr King School for the Ministry, published as part of an oral history project, Conversation with Participants in the Black Empowerment Movement within the Unitarian Universalist Association).
July, 1964 — Harlem Riots, New York
February 21, 1965 — Malcolm X assassinated, New York
February 26, 1965 — Jimmie Lee Jackson shot and killed, Alabama
A young African American man and a deacon of his church, Jimmie Lee Jackson was killed while attempting to defend his family from Alabama state troopers.
March, 1965 — Civil rights marches, Alabama
Marches in Selma and Montgomery led to clashes between civil rights workers and police. Unitarian Universalist minister James Reeb and Unitarian Universalist civil rights worker Viola Liuzzo were murdered by white supremacists.
August, 1965 — Voting Rights Act signed by President Lyndon Johnson, Washington, DC
August 1965 — Watts Riots, Los Angeles
July 1967 — Newark Riots, New Jersey
October 1967 — Emergency Conference, Biltmore Hotel, New York City
Following racial unrest and rioting in the United States, the UUA's Committee on Religion and Race and Department of Social Responsibility, headed by Director Homer Jack, convened the "Emergency Conference on Unitarian Universalist Response to the Black Rebellion." Of the approximately 135-140 participants, 37 were African American. Early in the conference, 30 of the African American participants gathered at the invitation of members of Black Unitarian Universalists for Radical Reform (BURR), an organization from the Los Angeles Unitarian Universalist church that supported the Black Power movement. The gathered caucus, which came to be known as the Black Unitarian Universalist Caucus (BUUC), drew up and presented to the conference a list of "non-negotiable demands" including
The caucus' recommendation was accepted by the Emergency Conference delegates by a 2/3 majority, though the vote had no binding authority with the UUA Board of Trustees. Among the caucus members was Hayward Henry (later Mtangulizi Sanyika), a board member of Boston's Second Church, who would go on to chair the national BUUC effort.
Please respond to the passage above.

November 1967 — Board of Trustees Meeting, Boston
At an emotionally charged meeting, representatives from BUUC presented their proposal to the UUA Board of Trustees asking for an up or down vote on each item. The Board, itself divided over the proposal and methods of BUUC, voted down the proposal and passed a resolution to reorganize the Commission on Religion and Race, inviting BUUC participation. In bitter disappointment, BUUC recommended that Unitarian Universalist churches withdraw financial support from the UUA Annual Program Fund until the next General Assembly could meet.
November 1967 — SOBURR, Los Angeles
At a meeting of approximately 50 delegates of the Pacific Southwest District, Louis Gothard of BURR reported on the Board's actions. The primarily white group present formed the Supporters of BURR (SOBURR) to organize White support of Black empowerment efforts. Los Angeles ministers Stephen Fritchman and Roy Ockert were among the supporters.
February 1968 — National Conference of Black Unitarian Universalists, Chicago
Two hundred and seven delegates represented 600 Black Unitarian Universalists. Among the attendees were Ben Scott from Boston, Richard Traylor (later Mjenzi Traylor) from Philadelphia, Renford Gaines (later Mwalimu Imara), a theological student from Meadville Theological Seminary, and George Johnson from Oakland, who had been hired by the UUA to develop congregational participation in civil rights activities. The conference established the Black Affairs Council (BAC) with six Black and three White members.
March 1968 — UUA Board of Trustees Meeting
The Board, still divided over the best course of action, invited BAC to have affiliate status. Although BUUC and BAC called for support of groups with Black leadership, the Board, saying they could not forfeit their own responsibility in race empowerment, instead formed two UUA groups: the Fund for Racial Justice and the Commission for Action on Race. Hayward Henry charged that the Board's refusal to fund BAC and to allow the BAC to control such funding reflected "a traditional racist and paternalistic approach to black problems."
April 4, 1968 — Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated, Memphis
April 1968 — FULLBAC, Philadelphia
Patterned after SOBURR, a new organization for the Full Recognition and Funding of BAC (FULLBAC) was created. Leadership came from two Philadelphia ministers, David Parke and Rudolph Gelsey. During the meeting at which FULLBAC was organized, the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. was announced.
May 1968 — BAWA, New York City
Responding to the formation of groups of White allies who supported the pro-empowerment groups, a group of Black and White Unitarian Universalists formed a pro-integration group, Black and White Alternative, which later became Black and White Action (BAWA). Cornelius MacDougald, board chair of the Community Church in NYC and chair of the UUA's Commission on Religion and Race at the time of the Emergency Conference, and Donald Harrington, minister of Community Church, provided leadership.
May 1968 — General Assembly, Cleveland
The General Assembly (GA) resolution to meet BUUC's demands for BAC funding of one million dollars over four years passed by vote of 836 to 327. Victor Carpenter later wrote that this showing of support for BAC's agenda "gave the nation its first example of a denomination's making a significant 'reparational' response to the conditions of racism in America."
June 1968 & May 1969 — UUA Board of Trustees Meetings
Following the commitment of funding for BAC, the UUA administration and Trustees discovered that all of the UUA's unrestricted endowment funds had already been spent. The denomination did not have adequate funding to continue its current operations. At the May meeting, the administration recommended to the Trustees that BAC funding not be reduced, but that it instead require reaffirmation each year, and that an additional 50,000 dollars be used to fund BAWA.
July 1969 — General Assembly, Boston
The issue of funding for BAC and BAWA was highly controversial at the General Assembly. Matters came to a head over a proposal to change the agenda and move the funding issue from the end of the agenda to the beginning. The contentious debate led first to a forced possession of the microphone by members BUUC/BAC, FULLBAC and Liberal Religious Youth (LRY), and later to a walkout by BUUC members. Jack Mendelsohn, BAC vice-chair and minister of Boston's Arlington Street Church, addressed the Assembly saying, "Our Black delegates of BAC have now left the room. They have left this Assembly, and they have left our movement, because life and time are short...the Assembly is returning to business as usual and to the position of Black people at the back of the bus." Mendelsohn invited all who wanted to discuss the issues to leave the GA and meet at Arlington Street, just blocks away. More than 400 people participated in "The Walkout" (the GA had 1379 voting delegates) calling themselves "The Moral Caucus." Dana Greeley, outgoing UUA President, convinced them to return the following day. In a close vote, BAC funding of 250,000 dollars was reaffirmed, and BAWA received no funding. Robert West was elected the next president of the UUA.
December 1969 — BAC Bond Program
Under the leadership of Richard Traylor, Ben Scott, and Hayward Henry, BAC traveling workshops began. Churches were asked to convert half their investment portfolio to BAC bonds for Black Humanistic economic development.
January 1970 — UUA Board of Trustees Meeting
Under severe economic pressure, the Board voted to pay 200,000 dollars per year for five years rather than 250,000 dollars for four, extending the time frame for paying the promised million dollars to BAC. BAC moved to disaffiliate from the UUA, making the organization free to seek independent funding.
June 1970 — General Assembly, Seattle
BUUC/BAC officially boycotted GA, but workshops and seminars on the BAC bond program to fund economic development were presented. Over the course of a few months, the bond program raised 800,000 dollars. At the Assembly, a motion to restore BAC funding was defeated.
March 1972 — UUA Board of Trustees Meeting
Financial support for BAC and BAWA was obtained through a Veatch Fund grant. 180,000 dollars was allocated for BAC and 45,000 dollars for BAWA. BAC was voted Associate organization status.
February 1973 — BUUC Sixth Annual Meeting, Philadelphia
Due to major disagreements over the future of BAC and BUUC, the organization split. One faction voted to reorganize as the Black Humanist Fellowship (BHF) in order to forge closer ties with other Black empowerment movements and sever ties with the UUA. Two organizations claiming to be BAC emerged. Litigation followed.
1979 — BAC Associate Status Ends
Although BAC's status as a UUA Associate formally ended in 1979, it is estimated that following the controversy of the late 60s and early 70s, over 1,000 Black Unitarian Universalists left the denomination.

A cemetery from the early 1800's in Ohio wants to become an arboretum.
What are the rules that need to be followed? Is there a board in Ohio or the US that sets the rules/standards for becoming an arboretum? Is there a place/website to view these standards/rules? Thank you to all who can help,
Follow-Up Postings:
All depends on how involved the staff wants to get in becoming an arboretum. If it is just to identify and label their plants with botanical and common names and be open to the public - anyone can do that. But if they want to become a accredited museum quality arboretum there is much more involved. They might want to contact either Spring Grove Cemetery in Cincinnati or Ferncliff Cemetery in Springfield for some further guidance. Marshall |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Read Phil Floraday's comments on driving the 2008 Mazda RX-8 40th Anniversary Edition.
I haven't driven an RX-8 in about a year, and I can't say I really missed the experience. Yes, the car revs to the heavens and the chassis is great. No, there isn't any torque. None at all. I suppose all 1.3-liter engines are down on torque, but I found the car to be useless in traffic. Even worse, the peak torque is at 5500 rpm. Then you've got the ridiculous consumption of both high test fuel and oil.
I like the idea of a rotary engine, but I got sick of having to drop 2-3 gears to pass other cars on two lane roads. I would gladly trade a bit of torque for some better fuel economy and the ability to rev to 9,000 rpm, but this car doesn't offer torque or fuel economy. Again, the chassis is great and the interior is quite pleasant, but this car isn't a lot of fun for daily driving.

CELAM conference: The paradox of world's most Catholic continent
By Barbara J. Fraser
Catholic News Service
LIMA, Peru (CNS) -- When church leaders from throughout Latin America gather in Brazil in May for the fifth general conference of the Latin American bishops, they will be grappling with the contradictions of life on the world's most Catholic continent.
While more than 450 million of the region's 551 million people are considered Catholic, "the practice of the Christian faith is in profound crisis, which is reflected in the type of societies we have," Bishop Alvaro Ramazzini Imeri of San Marcos, Guatemala, president of the Guatemalan bishops' conference, told
Catholic News Service
. "They are societies in which there is a great deal of violence, societies that try to follow lifestyles in which consumerism and hedonism predominate, societies that lack social justice."
Economic justice, corruption, migration, education and civic participation are among the issues that bishops in the region will discuss at the conference, which is expected to draw more than 160 voting bishops and 80 other participants to Aparecida, Brazil, outside Sao Paulo, May 13-31.
Pope Benedict XVI, who will travel to Brazil for a five-day visit May 9-13, will officially open the conference.
In a meeting with papal nuncios from Latin America in Rome Feb. 17, the pope outlined some of the issues church leaders face in Latin America, including the growth of evangelical churches -- still generally referred to as "sects" in this majority-Catholic region -- and "the growing influence of postmodern hedonistic secularism."
In examining the reasons for the lure of Pentecostalism, the bishops will have to take a critical look at the Catholic Church's own practices.
Part of the attraction of other churches lies in "a failure to awaken a missionary commitment in Catholics and a lack of priests and religious," said Cardinal Javier Errazuriz Ossa of Santiago, Chile, who is president of the Latin American bishops' council, or CELAM.
"It's not that people leave the Catholic Church because they oppose it, but in seeking a relationship with God and seeking the Gospel, and having lost a livelier contact with Catholic communities, they go to other pastors who are talking about Jesus Christ," Cardinal Errazuriz said.
The conference's dual emphasis on discipleship and missionary commitment is meant to spur an awakening so that "every Catholic feels called by Jesus Christ to be a disciple and to be sent out to change the world in accordance with the Gospel," he said.
The bishops must grapple with how to educate Catholics to take on that task, he said.
Although Pope John Paul II once called Latin America "the continent of hope," a brighter future remains elusive for nearly half the region's people. More than 40 percent live in poverty, and income distribution is the most unequal in the world. In countries such as Chile, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, El Salvador and Guatemala, the wealthiest one-fifth of the population receives half the country's income, while the poorest one-fifth take home a scant 3 percent.
"This is poverty born of social and economic inequality, poverty that affects human life and dignity, and poverty that is a form of violence," Bishop Ramazzini said.
Archbishop Pedro Barreto Jimeno of Huancayo, Peru, who will be a delegate to the conference, told CNS that the bishops must also address environmental issues. Andean glaciers are in rapid retreat and may disappear within two decades, leaving farmers without water. In South America, one-fifth of the Amazon rain forest has been cleared, and destruction continues at a rate of as much as 20,000 square miles a year.
The region's "wealth of natural resources and the variety of its cultures" contrast sharply with the extreme poverty in which many people live in urban shantytowns, highland villages and remote Amazonian communities, Archbishop Barreto said.
"When the environment deteriorates, there is also serious deterioration of human coexistence," he said.
The fifth general conference follows earlier CELAM gatherings in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1955; Medellin, Colombia, in 1968; Puebla, Mexico, in 1979; and Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, in 1992. The special Synod of Bishops for America brought together bishops from both hemispheres in 1997.
The meeting in Brazil will build on the issues raised at those meetings, including the need for a new evangelization, human development, a Christian culture and ways of overcoming extreme poverty, as well as solidarity between the church in the United States and Canada and the church in Latin America, said Cardinal Errazuriz.
Bishop William S. Skylstad of Spokane, Wash., president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, has been invited to attend the conference as a voting delegate. Other USCCB representatives are expected to participate as observers.
Follow-up to the conference will be as important as the event itself, the bishops said. Several years ago, the region's prelates envisioned a great continental mission to reinvigorate the region's Catholics and spread the good news. Conference preparatory documents include guidelines for visiting people's homes and talking to them about the Catholic faith, but Cardinal Errazuriz told CNS that the bishops have not yet decided what form the "great mission" will take.
"I don't think it's just a matter of trying to get people who have left to come back or simply putting the brakes on evangelical proselytism," Bishop Ramazzini said. "The most important thing is to ensure that church communities are communities of disciples, that we live consistently with the Gospel. Everything else will follow."

Turned on your Xbox 360 console one day and and when you try to play your game you got the message "This disc is unreadable" OR "Unplayable disc"…..??
First determine whether it's a fault with the disc or not, by having a look on the disc itself & make sure it's not scratched and there are no flaws even on it, and try other game discs on your Xbox 360 console .
If your disc is scratched or have flaws try putting other discs in your Xbox 360 console just to make sure it's the disc not the actual console causing the error, If other disc are working fine, refer to the scratched discs page on our website to know what are the steps you have to follow to get it sorted out.
If the disc is not scratched and doesn't have any flaws on it, cleaning the disc and trying it once more may solve the issue, if that doesn't work try to check it by putting other discs in your Xbox 360 console, if they all work that would be definitely a fault with the disc itself and in a case like this you have the right to exchange it from the retailer you bought it from as it's not scratched.
In all cases if other game discs are giving you the same error message "This disc is unreadable" OR "Unplayable disc" you need then to contact Xbox 360 customer support to send your console to get repaired or exchanged.

City rejects offer to sell San Val Building, citing a delinquent bill owed by developer
- Details
- Parent Category: News
- Category: Steelville News
- Written by Amy England
- Hits: 670
The city of Steelville has declined the proposal from Michael Conaway, president of Circle C Bottling Company, to purchase the former San Val building that is now owned by the city. Mayor Terry Palmer reported the city determined not to pursue the proposal because Conaway has a delinquent utility account with the city dating back to 2008.
At that time, Conaway had operated a business called Total Transportation out of the old Brown Shoe Factory building. In 2008, the final amount due before penalties were added was $8,307.81.
The city council met in executive session on Monday, February 19 to officially reject the proposal, but it had actually expired on February 3. Palmer noted the city had let it expire since they did not want to go any further in looking into the option with Conaway. The proposal had included two options: a lease with option to purchase in three years and an outright purchase of the building.
In addition to the delinquency with the city of Steelville (where a case was filed against Conaway in 2007), a Missouri Case.net review of Conaway's records show a number of cases of breach of contract, suits on account, small claims over $100, and criminal infractions.
Palmer reported the city will wait on further decisions with the former San Val building until after a meeting with the Missouri Department of Economic Development which is scheduled to take place in Steelville on March 18.

text: What a shame Gerardo's debut record, Mo' Ritmo, doesn't come with its own full length video accompaniment. The Ecuadoran-born rapper's true talent is contained in his racy ''Rico Suave'' clip, which has inspired enough squeals and drools to make it an instant hit on video outlets around the country. No surprise there. By focusing eagerly on Gerardo's well-defined torso, studly mug, and toned rump, it comes closer than any music video yet to a night at Chippendale's. You'll find nothing quite so arousing on Gerardo's audio debut. As a rapper, he's closer to a novelty act like Vanilla Ice than to an authentic talent like Ice-T. His heavy use of Latin rhythms and melodies may give the music a twist, but Spanglish rap is delivered with more finesse by Mellow Man Ace and Kid Frost. Gerardo's music is more pop and thus more accessible than that of his predecessors, but his continuous boasting about how great it is to be a cad begins to grate after a while. ''Who's gonna be my first,'' he raps. ''Will it be another blonde, redhead, or brunette/Yo! What did I have last week/I tend to forget.'' Ultimately, his ''Rico Suave'' hit sounds like Steve Martin doing a ''wild and crazy'' parody of macho. But if Gerardo is obnoxious, at least you can't say he didn't warn you. ''Don't let my lyrics mislead you/I don't love you but I need you,'' he raps, later adding, ''I'm two hours late/I never said I was a prompt date.'' Then again, Gerardo also has his serious side. He makes a big point of telling us not to judge him solely by his good looks: We should also judge him by how good he is at dumping women. Oh, well. At least he never asks us to judge him on his musical talent.

As much as I love alliteration in my blog titles, I think this one goes a little too far. Plus, there is no "f" word I can think of to replace "workout." Is there?
Before the Run Through Redlands Half Marathon last weekend, Alan and I posed with some of our cross country runners. They ran the 5k. One of the twins was 24th overall, and finished 2nd in her age group, The young man was 10th overall, but was 6th in his age group. Obviously the run was stacked with a lot of high school runners!
I am currently nursing a strange "running" injury. A couple weeks ago I ran 18 miles. Toward the end of the run, my right arm was really tired from carrying my water bottle. In fact, the next day the muscles in my forearm were sore. I actually laughed at that. Now, almost two weeks later, it's not so funny anymore. On Wednesday, I could hardly lift anything, and if I accidentally tried to pick up something or twist at the wrist, the pain was pretty intense. Since then, I've had a chiropractor perform some Active Release Therapy, had a massage therapist work on it, had it taped, iced, and I've been really careful about how I move it. Next I'm going to try some magnet therapy. It's feeling much better, though I'm a little concerned about my long run this weekend. I have carried a bottle for the last 15 years and never had a problem, so this is really strange to me. Only I could run 18 miles and end up with an elbow injury!
Fabulous Fitness Friday
I have a client who I was coaching to run the Rock and Roll Marathon in San Diego. She was doing great in her training, but unfortunately, life interfered and her work load became overwhelming, so we decided to change her goals. She wasn't ready to plan for another race, even a shorter distance, so instead we are focusing on health, fitness, and weight loss.
To that end, in addition to running, we have added some strength training to her program. She was doing a little before, but we were focused more on the running. Because high intensity training is so great for fitness and fat loss, I have added one HIIT workout to her program each week, in addition to the one speed training that she had been doing before.
I have been digging around in my own archives because when I'm training a long distance client I want to make sure that she really understands the exercise and can perform it with proper form. Most of my workouts have either a video demonstration or clear written instructions, so I can easily send them to my client and feel confident she can learn from them.
Another advantage of the high intensity workouts is that they usually take only about a half hour (or less) to complete. I know that my client is really busy, so for her to be able to get in a great workout in a short amount of time is important. I bet it is important to you too! Plus, she works out at home with just a few pieces of equipment, so she needs a plan that can be done anywhere. So if you're looking for a challenging, quick workout that you can do at home, check out five of my favorites!
The Seven Minute Workout
The Seven Minute Workout is a high intensity, fast workout that you can do at the gym or at home. It is based on an article in the American College of Sports Medicine's Health and Fitness Journal that states that 12 high intensity exercises, combined with very short breaks, using only your body weight and a chair fulfills the latest mandates for high intensity effort. For an extra challenge, complete two or three sets of the workout.
Click here for video instruction.
Back to School Workout
Yes, I know that that we're approaching summer break, not back to school, but this workout is great for any time of the year. It is designed to be done outdoors on a track, but it's great for at-home too. Just head out the door for the running intervals!
The You Tube Circuit Workout
A few months ago, I started working on a video library of the exercises that I use in my workout. Not the whole workout, just each individual exercise. This workout comprises the first five videos that I made.
Plank to Side Plank
Lunge w/Twist
Mountain Climbers
Squat Jump
Sorry, no push up video.
Fast and Furious Workout
The only equipment needed for this challenging workout is a medicine ball.
You'll find the complete video instruction here.
Total Body Functional Workout
This workout is pretty high intensity from beginning to end, including a quarter mile run to finish off each set. It will really get your heart rate up and work your whole body in a short amount of time. Each set takes less that five minutes (plus the run), so you can complete a great workout in less than a half hour. Because it needs no equipment, you can take it outdoors (maybe to the high school track for a great place to get your running in).
Video here.
And I want to leave you with a final workout (yes, that makes six, but six doesn't start with an "f" so…). This workout, oddly enough, is my most re-pinned workout, which kind of cracks me up because I did nothing to make it "pinnable." In fact, it is just a picture of me, taking a picture of the workout. See:
Silly picture or not, it's a pretty great workout and will definitely challenge you.
So, I have a 20 mile run on my schedule this weekend. I'm not real excited about it because it's going to be hot on Saturday (over 100), so I'll have to get out the door really early. What is your plan for the weekend? Any races, big runs or other events? Maybe one of the Fabulous Friday workouts?

There is a murmur afoot that Heath Ledger's final movie, THE IMAGINARIUM OF DR PARNASSUS may have trouble finding US distribution. The film also stars Colin Farrell, Johnny Depp and Jude Law, who stepped in to complete the role that Ledger had started.
During the summer there were several interested parties, reportedly including Lionsgate, but since, things have died down. You can read the full lowdown HERE, but the gist is the usual bullshit of 'too experimental' and 'not marketable enough' and that kind of garbage. Obviously, the most important thing to remember at this obviously difficult time (especially with that emotional speech from Ledger's family at the Oscars) is that UK distribution is already secure, so, living over here in London, I'm ok.
Extra Tidbit: Depp, Farrell and Law donated their earnings for this movie to Ledger's daughter Matilda.

Michael Mann's Public Enemies was test screened on Thursday night in Sherman Oaks, CA. It was a blind screening, which means that they didn't give the name of the film when soliciting for moviegoers. A bunch of reviews have been floating around the message boards. You can read five reviews here at /film.

Golf's Spring Schedule Announced
January 2, 2013
SANTA CLARITA, Calif. – The Master's College Athletic Department has released the 2013 golf spring schedule.
The Mustangs will continue their 2012-2013 campaign in a two-day event starting on February 4 as they compete in the CSU San Marcos Spring Invite held at the Shadowridge Country Club in Vista, California.
Exactly one month later, on March 4, the Mustangs will host their annual TMC Spring Invitational at the Robinson Ranch Golf Course in Canyon Country, California.
Later on their slate, the Mustangs will leave the confines of sunny southern California and travel to Primm, Nevada, and compete in the Battle at Primm, on March 25-26. On April 6-7, the squad will make their way east to Daytona Beach, Florida, and participate in the Bash at the Beach, hosted by Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University on the grounds of the LPGA National Golf Course.
Finally, the Mustangs anticipate two separate trips to Oregon to cap off their schedule. Their first trip will be to Monroe, Oregon, for the NAIA Regional Championships on April 15-16. The second trip will be a four-day event in the 2013 NAIA Golf National Championships at the Creekside Golf Course in Salem, Oregon, on May 14-17.
Last year, TMC's Thane Ringler was the Mustangs' lone representative in the 2012 NAIA Golf National Championships, where he finished in the top 15 with an overall score of 7-over 295.

text: Yesterday afternoon, three Greenwich men came forward with a winning Powerball ticket worth $254 million. Lottery officials had been searching for nearly a month to find them, posting billboards all over Connecticut "urging" the ticket holder to reveal him or herself and claim the prize. But when Gregg Skidmore, Tim Davidson, and Brandon Lacoff finally did, it was not how people pictured it. Frank Farricker, for one, was very disappointed. He'd expected the men to be more excited, more celebratory, more over the top pumped about their windfall. Frank didn't get that, though. Instead he got three guys who seemed at best embarrassed and at worst pained to be collecting, after taxes, a lump sum of $103.5 million. At the time, some speculated that the reason the trio, Skidmore in particular, looked like they were about to have a group colonoscopy rather than take home a bag of cash, was that they were worried how it would appear, given that they are not just Gold Coast residents but money managers in Belpoint Capital, and you know how the general public feels about those types. Today, however, another theory has emerged. Read more »

Saul is brought to Samuel. (1-10) Samuel told concerning Saul. (11-17) Samuel's treatment of Saul. (18-27)
Verses 1-10 Saul readily went to seek his father's asses. His obedience to his father was praise-worthy. His servant proposed, that since they were now at Ramah, they should call on Samuel, and take his advice. Wherever we are, we should use our opportunities of acquainting ourselves with those who are wise and good. Many will consult a man of God, if he comes in their way, that would not go a step out of their way to get wisdom. We sensibly feel worldly losses, and bestow much pains to make them up; but how little do we attempt, and how soon are we weary, in seeking the salvation of our souls! If ministers could tell men how to secure their property, or to get wealth, they would be more consulted and honoured than they now are, though employed in teaching them how to escape eternal misery, and to obtain eternal life. Most people would rather be told their fortune than their duty. Samuel needed not their money, nor would he have denied his advice, if they had not brought it; but they gave it to him as a token of respect, and of the value they put upon his office, and according to the general usage of those times, always to bring a present to those in authority.
Verses 11-17 The very maid-servants of the city could direct to the prophet. They had heard of the sacrifice, and could tell of the necessity for Samuel's presence. It is no small benefit to live in religious and holy places. And we should always be ready to help those who are seeking after God's prophets. Though God had, in displeasure, granted Israel's request for a king, yet he sends them a man to be captain over them, to save them out of the hand of the Philistines. He does it, listening graciously to their cry.
Verses 18-27 Samuel, that good prophet, was so far from envying Saul, or bearing him any ill-will, that he was the first and most forward to do him honour. Both that evening and early the next morning, Samuel communed with Saul upon the flat roof of the house. We may suppose Samuel now convinced Saul that he was the person God had fixed upon for the government, and of his own willingness to resign. How different are the purposes of the Lord for us, from our intentions for ourselves! Perhaps Saul was the only one who ever went out to seek asses, and literally found a kingdom; but many have set out and moved their dwellings to seek riches and pleasures, who have been guided to places where they found salvation for their souls. Thus they have met with those who addressed them as if aware of the secrets of their lives and hearts, and have been led seriously to regard the word of the Lord. If this has been our case, though our worldly plans have not prospered, let us not care for that; the Lord has given us, or has prepared us for, what is far better.
1 Samuel 9:1-14 . SAUL, DESPAIRING TO FIND HIS FATHER'S ASSES, COMES TO SAMUEL.
1. a mighty man of power--that is, of great wealth and substance. The family was of high consideration in the tribe of Benjamin, and therefore Saul's words must be set down among the common forms of affected humility, which Oriental people are wont to use.
2. Saul, a choice young man, and a goodly--He had a fine appearance; for it is evident that he must have been only a little under seven feet tall. A gigantic stature and an athletic frame must have been a popular recommendation at that time in that country.
3. the asses of Kish Saul's father were lost. And Kish said to Saul . . . arise, go seek the asses--The probability is that the family of Kish, according to the immemorial usage of Oriental shepherds in the purely pastoral regions, had let the animals roam at large during the grazing season, at the close of which messengers were despatched in search of them. Such travelling searches are common; and, as each owner has his own stamp marked on his cattle, the mention of it to the shepherds he meets gradually leads to the discovery of the strayed animals. This ramble of Saul's had nothing extraordinary in it, except its superior directions and issue, which turned its uncertainty into certainty.
4, 5. he passed through mount Ephraim--This being situated on the north of Benjamin, indicates the direction of Saul's journey. The district explored means the whole of the mountainous region, with its valleys and defiles, which belonged to Ephraim. Turning apparently southwards--probably through the verdant hills between Shiloh and the vales of Jordan (Shalisha and Shalim)--he approached again the borders of Benjamin, scoured the land of Zuph, and was proposing to return, when his servant recollected that they were in the immediate neighborhood of the man of God, who would give them counsel.
6. there is in this city a man of God--Ramah was the usual residence of Samuel, but several circumstances, especially the mention of Rachel's sepulchre, which lay in Saul's way homeward [ 1 Samuel 10:2 ], lead to the conclusion that "this city" was not the Ramah where Samuel dwelt.
peradventure he can show us our way that we should go--It seems strange that a dignified prophet should be consulted in such an affair. But it is probable that at the introduction of the prophetic office, the seers had discovered things lost or stolen, and thus their power for higher revelations was gradually established.
7. Saul said to his servant, But, behold, if we go, what shall we bring the man?--According to Eastern notions, it would be considered a want of respect for any person to go into the presence of a superior man of rank or of official station without a present of some kind in his hand, however trifling in value.
the bread is spent in our vessels--Shepherds, going in quest of their cattle, put up in a bag as much flour for making bread as will last sometimes for thirty days. It appears that Saul thought of giving the man of God a cake from his travelling bag, and this would have been sufficient to render the indispensable act of civility--the customary tribute to official dignity.
8. the fourth part of a shekel of silver--rather more than quarter. Contrary to our Western notions, money is in the East the most acceptable form in which a present can be made to a man of rank.
9. seer . . . Prophet--The recognized distinction in latter times was, that a seer was one who was favored with visions of God--a view of things invisible to mortal sight; and a prophet foretold future events.
11-13. as they went up the hill--The modern village, Er-Rameh, lies on an eminence; and on their way they met a band of young maidens going out to the well, which, like all similar places in Palestine, was beyond the precincts of the town. From these damsels they learned that the day was devoted to a festival occasion, in honor of which Samuel had arrived in the city; that a sacrifice had been offered, which was done by prophets in extraordinary circumstances at a distance from the tabernacle, and that a feast was to follow--implying that it had been a peace offering; and that, according to the venerable practice of the Israelites, the man of God was expected to ask a special blessing on the food in a manner becoming the high occasion.
14. Samuel came out against them, for to go up to the high place--Such were the simple manners of the times that this prophet, the chief man in Israel, was seen going to preside at a high festival undistinguished either by his dress or equipage from any ordinary citizen.
1 Samuel 9:15-27 . GOD REVEALS TO SAMUEL SAUL'S COMING, AND HIS APPOINTMENT TO THE KINGDOM.
15, 16. Now the Lord had told Samuel in his ear a day before--The description of Saul, the time of his arrival, and the high office to which he was destined, had been secretly intimated to Samuel from heaven. The future king of Israel was to fight the battles of the Lord and protect His people. It would appear that they were at this time suffering great molestation from the Philistines, and that this was an additional reason of their urgent demands for the appointment of a king (see 1 Samuel 10:5 , 13:3 ).
18-20. Tell me, I pray thee, where the seer's house is--Satisfying the stranger's inquiry, Samuel invited him to the feast, as well as to sojourn till the morrow; and, in order to reconcile him to the delay, he assured him that the strayed asses had been recovered.
20, 21. on whom is all the desire of Israel? Is it not on thee, and on all thy father's house?--This was a covert and indirect premonition of the royal dignity that awaited him; and, though Saul's answer shows that he fully understood it, he affected to doubt that the prophet was in earnest.
21. And Saul answered and said, Am not I a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel, &c.--By selecting a king from this least and nearly extinct tribe ( Judges 20:46-48 ), divine wisdom designed to remove all grounds of jealousy among the other tribes.
22. Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them into the parlour--The toil-worn but noble-looking traveller found himself suddenly seated among the principal men of the place and treated as the most distinguished guest.
24. the cook took up the shoulder . . . and set it before Saul. And Samuel said, Behold that which is left; set it before thee, and eat--that is, reserved This was, most probably, the right shoulder; which, as the perquisite of the sacrifice, belonged to Samuel, and which he had set aside for his expected guest. In the sculptures of the Egyptian shambles, also, the first joint taken off was always the right shoulder for the priest. The meaning of those distinguished attentions must have been understood by the other guests.
25-27. Samuel communed with Saul upon the top of the house--Saul was taken to lodge with the prophet for that night. Before retiring to rest, they communed on the flat roof of the house, the couch being laid there ( Joshua 2:6 ), when, doubtless, Samuel revealed the secret and described the peculiar duties of a monarch in a nation so related to the Divine King as Israel. Next morning early, Samuel roused his guest, and conveying him on his way towards the skirts of the city, sought, before parting, a private interview--the object of which is narrated in the next chapter.

Handle this one with care, but somebody's snapped what they're calling the first images of Metal Gear Solid 5 in motion. Well, the first images of Metal Gear Solid 5's title sequence in motion.
Update: Konami's Twitter heroes have been in touch to say it's all cobblers. "Seriously, just in case the #pinch #salt hashtags weren't enough - the chap who claims to have set up the fake rumours has been in touch." Panic ogre then.
Original story: The sequence in question reveals that Metal Gear Solid 5 is, indeed, the mysterious Project OGRE, and that "OGRE" stands for "Open Ground Reconnaissance Endeavors". Sexy stuff! Below the title, a characteristically ineffable postscript reads: "the moment we were cast out of heaven, we became monsters."
Another screen notes that "a paradise is born of the bloodstained Earth", and polishes off with a couple of utterly opaque lines of dialogue. "Would she have wanted this?" asks one unknown speaker. "That doesn't matter now," rejoins another. Quite, quite.
What do you make of it? Sounds like an open-world post-apocalyptic exploration game if you ask me, but I am But A Man. Series bossman Hideo Kojima has confirmed that Metal Gear Solid 5 will run on the new FOX engine and suggested that it may learn from Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
As for platforms, here are five reasons Metal Gear Solid 5 will appear on Xbox.
