MOUNT WASHINGTON - After staying away from tennis for six months, Bullitt East junior Makaela Knight has returned to the sport with a vengeance.
Knight has made the state tournament each of the past two seasons, but with defending state champion Lauren Kline in the same region, the Bullitt East stand-out has four her post-season route to wins limited. Now, with Kline playing in college, Knight is set to take the top spot.
MOUNT WASHINGTON - Four of the top baseball programs in the state will converge on Mount Washington this weekend for the ValuMarket Charger Challenge.
This is the second year for the event and Bullitt East head coach Jeff Bowles is hoping for better weather than a year ago when action was completely washed out on Friday and then only a limited schedule was conducted on Saturday.
BARDSTOWN - Bluegrass Speedway track promoters David and Anita Ferrell will again present racing action this Saturday May 15 as the American Modified Series presented by Force Fuel and Engine Conditioner makes its inaugural visit to the mile, high-banked Nelson County clay for the 10th Annual Mod Squad Bash, paying $1,500 to win for UMP Modifieds.
HEBRON ESTATES - For the first time in its 30-year history, the All-Bullitt County Track and Field Championships on Tuesday at North Bullitt will include a pair of former state champions.
Of course, the nature of the beast in the sport means that Bullitt East's Jackie Stevens and North Bullitt's Helen Heines won't be competing against each other. In fact, they won't even get near each other on Tuesday as Stevens works in the field and Heines on the track.
HEBRON ESTATES - On Friday evening, Bullitt Countians will come together to raise the most money of the year all in the name of cancer research.
Nationally, the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life is celebrating its 25th anniversary.
In Bullitt County, the 12-hour event will begin at 7 p.m. on Friday at North Bullitt High School with the survivor's walk.
Teams have formed throughout the county to generate over $200,000 in the name of cancer research.
FRANKFORT - The Kentucky Department for Public Health (DPH) Division of Women's Health, in partnership with the Frankfort Regional Medical Center, Franklin County Health Department and the Kentucky Commission on Women, is hosting a "Walk Across Kentucky" on May 13 as part Women's Health Week, a national observance spearheaded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office on Women's Health.
Loved ones who plan to send flowers for Mother's Day should beware of "petal pushers."
These unscrupulous florists place bogus listings in local phone directories.
When you call the local number listed, or given to you by the operator, you're unknowingly forwarded to an out-of-town telemarketing company.
The telemarketer takes your order and credit card information, and then forwards your order to an area florist.
HEBRON ESTATES - The North Bullitt Lady Eagles have not played a lot of games this spring, but the green and gold keep winning, adding two more victories to the 'W' column last week.
That action left coach Eric Lambert's team with an impressive 7-2 record, but that is 13 fewer games this season than other teams in the Sixth Region, like Bullitt East, have played.
Lambert was hoping to make up some of that difference this past weekend, but rain on Friday forced the complete cancellation of a tournament at Henry County High School.
FRANKFORT - A man convicted of killing a Bardstown resident in Bullitt County 20 years ago has avoided the death penalty once again.
And Michael St. Clair will apparently get a new sentencing hearing in Bullitt County and a new trial in his kidnapping conviction in Hardin County after a ruling Thursday by the state Supreme Court.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
Have you ever considered the fact that Grease may very well be a bad influence on children? Don't get me wrong. Grease is one of my guilty pleasures in life (as a rule, I generally hate musicals). But I'll bet you've never thought of it this way: (Oh! If you've never seen this movie then don't read this. It gives up practically every detail and is more of an analysis about whether children should watch it. Okay? Are they gone? The ones who've never seen this? Let's proceed!) Sandy moves to the US from Australia. Frenchie, the "Beauty School Drop Out," asks Riz if she could become a Pink Lady. Riz, dismisses her as "too pure to be pink." Right here Riz suffers from enthnocentricism; Sandy's accent and Australian clothing and culture come off as "wrong" to Riz. It gets worse. Sandy reminisces about Danny, the friendly boy she spent a nice, wholesome day on the beach with. Sure they kissed. Maybe they even shared a kiss named for those of a European country. She sings of drinking lemonade, frolicking in the ocean, holding hands: cutesy, romantic stuff. He gyrates and sings about his take on things: "summer lovin' havin' me a blast…I met a girl crazy for me…" Oh, the arrogance! It goes downhill from here, folks. She adds, "met a boy, cute as can be." So, he has her pegged. She is crazy for him, and he will later take advantage of that. The boys continually beseech this young lad to tell them more, tell them more, "did ya get very far?" I don't recall his ever alluding to "soiling her," yet this is where they lay the groundwork of how important his friends are to him and how they perceive him. So, Riz—being the inherently evil person she is—fixes things so that Sandy has a reunion with Danny. They are merry, silly, gay, brimming with excitement! Then Danny sees his friends, the ones who asked him to tell them more, tell them more. He starts acting cool, aloof. LIKE SHE NEVER MATTERED! Her face contorts into a saddened grimace, reflecting her innermost pain. With tears pooling in her eyes, she runs away and cries. Here she is invited to a sleep over at Frenchie's. Sandy, in her "purity white" nightgown (I am positive this would be the name of the "white" had it been in a catalogue), and matching satin hair thingy coughs on her first cigarette (the other girls laughing). She gags on the wine, after being snickered at for having "had champagne at her cousin's wedding once." Frenchie tries to pierce her ears, but Sandy—in her innocence and purity—vomits at the sight of blood. Whilst recovering in the bathroom, the other girls sing a song, mocking poor Sandy. In sum, they say, "Elvis! Elvis! Let me be! Keep that pelvis FAR from me!" and that she gets "ill from one cigar-eh-eh-eh-ette!" This scene makes Sandy—every parent's dream! —into this outcast. It glamorizes smoking, drinking, self-mutilation (come ON! A bathroom ear piercing?), and being intimate with those of the opposite sex. After Sandy catches them having fun at her expense, she ventures downstairs to sing, "Hopelessly Devoted To You," a loving tribute to her mean and awful Danny. Her lyrics are so melodramatic in light of his treatment (MIStreatment) of her: "…my heart is sayin' don't let goooooo! Hold on til the end, that's what I inteeend to do. I'm hopelessly devoted to you." In short, this fine young lady has HOPELESSLY low self-esteem (as we will see later). Danny tries to make it up to her, as most abusive boyfriends will. She has a date with a fine, young man; someone better suited for her. He is an athlete who has more in common with her. They are at the local diner where all the kids hang out, and Danny tries to talk to her at the jukebox. He tries to sweet talk her. I am proud of her icy countenance. I gleefully bounced in my seat for her having stuck up to him. I mean, it's much too early on in their relationship for her to put up with being snubbed by this oily creature in black. She even pushes the envelope by waving to her boyfriend in a cutesy fashion, a means of marking herself as HIS, and NOT Danny's. So, what does Danny do? Give up and try to find some greasy chick to make out with in his car? Nope. He tries to join a bunch of athletic teams/clubs. He fails miserably, and actually doesn't seem to understand that smoking in the gym is not a good idea. He punches someone when he becomes enraged on the basketball court because "baby can't get his ball back." I wonder what kind of treatment Sandy could expect if she playfully ran off with his car keys, hoping he would chase her and tickle her. I dread the thought of it. Finally he seems to excel at track. While she is swooning over another boy-man on the bleachers, Danny is trucking past them, jumping hurdles. Sandy becomes interested (how SHALLOW!), and comes running to his rescue when he falls on the track. She abandons her boyfriend for this man with shiny hair. Now she's going to the dance with him. Again, she's dressed in "purity white." They have fun: giggling, dancing, and beaming at each other. She's getting comfy again. Then Danny's stupid friend comes over and grabs Sandy during the dance off. Did Danny prearrange this? Now he starts dancing with that skanky wench, Cha-Cha. Yet again, Sandy makes that wounded puppy face at Danny and storms out. Danny and Cha-Cha win the dance contest and then slow dance to "Blue Moon" on national TV. Maybe Sandy watched in the privacy of her living room, bawling, and eating a quart of ice cream in headache-inducing haste. Then she's in the car with Danny at the drive-in! She's pouting, with her arms folded. What a push over! Then Danny sneezes, and grazes her breast. Concerned (for HIM), she asks if he's getting a cold. Unconvincingly he answers, "No it's just a bit of drive-in dust." She is oblivious. So in the ensuing scenes, Danny (in a nutshell) punches her breast, giggles about it, and gives her his ring. She is ecstatic, and says something to the effect that she's happy because it means he respects her now. Are you as concerned about her psychological frame of mind as I am?! It gets worse. He summarily kisses her frenziedly, throws her down and starts sucking her face. Hysterical, she bolts upright, throws his ring in his face, and slams his junior with the car door and leaves. FINALLY! Some self-respect! Olivia just wasn't ready to "get physical, physical…" Danny is dismayed. In his usual controlling fashion, he yells at her that she can't "walk out of a drive-in." He's got the car, after all, and hence holds all the cards. He gets out of his car to sing a sappy song called "Sandy." It has some depth like "Some day when high school is done, some how, some way, our two worlds will be one. And maybe in Heaven, forever we will be. So please, say you'll stay. Oh, Sandy." But there is the other issue of his reputation prevalent in the song: "What will they say, Monday at school?" Then Danny's mentor and shadow, Kenicky (spelling?) is to race some crater-faced scumbag for "pink slips," their cars' ownership papers. Sandy trots down there and watches the whole thing (Danny has to race due to Kenicky's concussion from being bonked on the head by a car door. I have long maintained that Kenicky was an opportunist who wanted out of the race and prearranged this, as his performance was good throughout the movie except for his unconvincing scene where after being bopped on the head lightly by a car door, he sees "two of you, man," but that's another opinion). She watches from afar, quietly cheering him on. She is gleeful when he wins, but does not approach him. Why? Feelings of inadequacy. Lack of entitlement! THAT'S why! Frenchie sees Sandy sitting by her lonesome up on the hill and rushes over. Sandy cryptically asks her if she could come over, if she could "help her." Frenchie says sure. She continues singing "Sandra Dee," a self-deprecating song about herself. "…There has to be, something more than what they see: wholesome and pure, oh so scared and unsure…" At the end, when the song reaches its catharsis, she sings, "Sandy, you must start anew. Don't you know what you must do? (Something) no place to hide, take a deep breath inside! Good bye to Sandra Deeee!" The "goodbye to Sandra Dee" may have been meant as foreshadowing, a hint of the bizarre ending to come. On the last day of school there is a carnival. Danny shows up with his hair glistening with oil, that same curl in the middle of his forehead (maybe an allusion to that poem? "…When he was good, he was very, very good! And when he was bad he was horrid"). He wears those same, black clothes (has he changed them throughout the movie?) But! He is also wearing a white letterman sweater! He is teased a little, but says something strong that almost makes me think he's good enough for Sandy. He says, "While you guys were out playing follow the leader, I earned a letter running track." So, maybe I was wrong about him? Then everything stops. There is whistling, and suspenseful piano music. The camera pans across the crowd, all of who seem astounded and virtually worshipful. Then we see Sandy. She has a perm. She is wearing big, hoop earrings (did she take Dramamine at Frenchie's?). Her bony pelvis juts into her black, satin jeans. Through her Cleopatra eyeliner, she glares seductively at her Danny while she strips off her black leather jacket, revealing a skimpy, black halter top. Her crimson lips are puckered slightly around her cigarette (when did she take up smoking?!), and then she tosses it to the ground (pollution!) and snuffs it out. Danny, beaming uncontrollably strips off his letterman sweater (symbolically? Or is he just too hot from her molten lava!?) She enters the fun house, singing the beginning of "You're the One that I Want," while Danny is falling all over himself. He drags himself weakly up the steps, smiling up at her. Is it her personality that is luring him into that fun house? Is it her wit that compels him to sing, "all the power you're supplyin'…it's electrifyin'!"? Her intelligence? No. It is merely her leather! Her attire seems so new, and so different that I can only liken it to the shedding of a snake's skin. Her new skin seems equally tight, equally a part of her! Granted, she sings to him, "You better shape up..." but, unfortunately, she continues, "'Cause I need a man." She needs a man? What woman NEEDS a man? Does she need to be validated by the opposite sex? Is she so unfulfilled when she doesn't have a boyfriend? Does she have daddy issues? Then she whines, "And my heart is set on you. You can keep me satisfied." Is she sure of that? He hasn't up until this point! It's an emotional roller coaster, and mostly is roars downward! Then our little group gets all bummed out that they're going to graduate and never see each other again. Yah! Kenicky is going to Harvard Law School, and Frenchie is off to Hollywood to do makeup for the stars. Right. They're not going anywhere! And still they persist! Still they sing! "We go together like rambalama-lama-a-diggity-boom-sha-boom!" At the end, they are handed their yearbooks by Sandy's ex-boyfriend, the athlete, right there in the shadow of the Ferris Wheel. I interpreted the Ferris Wheel to be symbolic, its continuous spinning, like the constant flow of new high school students, and the constant outflow of seniors. A never-ending cycle. You get in, and before you know it, it's time to get off. Then Danny and Sandy come driving through in his new car (where did it come from?) They fly away into the air. I predict that they live in a beat up apartment in a bad neighborhood, and have domestic disputes that require police intervention. He coerced her long ago into drinking, which inevitably lead to her alcoholism. She becomes horribly saddened at age 40 when she has a nagging cough from smoking, and when she realizes that her Keystone Light habit is more of a necessity to her. She kicks herself daily, wishing she had stuck with the football player (who is now a part time little league coach, full time teacher who makes an honest living, has children, a wife, and a white picket fence). Wincing, she gazes down at her tattooed arms, wishing they remained bare and flesh colored. She shakes her head, looking at her kids with their greasy hair and motor cycles, wishing she could get them to dress in "purity white." She wishes she could afford to give them more than Chef Boyardee for dinner, and she resents her hard earned money going toward Danny's marijuana and hard liquor. She forgives Danny each and every time he cheats on her (with a very bunk, very used up looking Cha-Cha, and with Rizzo when she's between Kenicky and that crater faced moe), yet feels painful yearning. Sorry, folks. This is no happy ending. There is no divorce, which might be a happy ending for Sandy because she is "Hopelessly Devoted To Him." Despite my odd slant on this movie, I do thoroughly enjoy Grease. I have seen it countless times, and will watch it countless times more. But it isn't for children, and I think people lose sight of that because it's a musical. PS Who is [hidden], who rated this Not Helpful? I would love to know why! ;) Oh, and to "[hidden]", you didn't hurt my feelings any. I'm sorry that the NH or SH I gave you hurt your feelings so badly you had to retaliate. I suspect I know who you are.

RESULTS FOR CATEGORY: Banking LawIowa Supreme Court further limits the scope of implied warranty of workmanlike construction in ruling that contractors-developers are not innocent homebuyers. Latest report of cyber attacks on banks is no longer a case of old-fashioned, high-tech robbery — it is terrorism. Banks continue to be on the frontline for cyberattacks; latest revelation of worldwide security breaches highlight the scope and magnitude of cyber-threats that banks face. Small financial institutions should understand the seven key changes in a CFPB proposal for mortgage regulations.
Iowa Supreme Court limits a lender's right to remedy of implied warranty of workmanlike construction
In its decision the court reasoned that the implied warranty should not be extended to lenders due to the fact that lenders can protect themselves against construction defects in other ways. |

We actually 'become' happy vampires or contented wizards when reading a book
Bad news for muggle parents! A new study by psychologists at the University at Buffalo finds that we more or less "become" vampires or wizards just by reading about them. The good news is that, although we might think our teeth are a little sharper after a session with "Twilight," reading satisfies a deeply felt need for human connection because we not only feel like the characters we read about but, psychologically speaking, become part of their world and derive emotional benefits from the experience.
Good thing that I didn't read about Hitler.

Angels beat Red Sox to extend A.L. West lead
Tuesday, August 19, 2014
BOSTON — Mike Trout and Albert Pujols hit consecutive RBI doubles, and the Los Angeles Angels extended their AL West lead with a 4-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Monday night.
Los Angeles added two runs in the eighth when pitcher Junichi Tazawa bobbled a grounder and made a wild throw with the bases loaded. He was charged with two errors on the play.
RHP Allen Webster (3-1, 4.79) faces the Angels for the second time in three starts. He earned the win against Weaver recently, holding Los Angeles to two runs in 6 2-3 innings.


text: 1EMPA, CH-8600 Dübendorf, Switzerland 2Paul Scherrer Institute, CH-5232 Villigen PSI, Switzerland 3Now at University of Zürich, CH-8057 Zürich, Switzerland 4Institute for Environmental Research, University of Essex, Colchester, UK Abstract. Results of continuous nitrogen oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) and total reactive nitrogen (NOy) measurements along with seasonal field campaigns of nitric acid (HNO3) and particulate nitrate (NO3-) measurements are presented for a two-year period at the high-alpine research station Jungfraujoch (JFJ), 3580 m asl. The NOy mixing ratio and partitioning is shown to strongly depend on meteorological conditions. Knowledge of these meteorological transport processes allows discrimination between undisturbed (i.e. clean) and disturbed (i.e. influenced by regional pollution sources) free tropospheric (FT) conditions at the JFJ. Median NOy concentrations during undisturbed FT periods ranged from 350 pptv (winter, December to February) to 581 pptv (spring, March to May). PAN was found to be the dominant NOy species during spring and summer, whereas NO2 was most abundant during autumn and winter. Particulate nitrate was found to contribute significantly to total NOy during thermally induced vertical transport. Föhn events, synoptical lifting (e.g. fronts) and thermally induced vertical transport resulted in mixing ratios up to 10 times higher at the JFJ compared to undisturbed FT conditions. Furthermore this meteorological variability of the NOy concentration and partitioning often dominated the seasonal variability. As a consequence the use of filters at the JFJ (and other mountainous sites) is crucial for the interpretation of data from such measurement sites. This study presents a further development of meteorological filters for the high-alpine site Jungfraujoch, which also could be modified and adapted to other mountainous measurement sites.

Viola Davis
Viola Davis broke into the movie world with a strong role in Traffic and then Solaris. Since then Viola Davis has been building her resume and raising two children with her husband Julius Tennon. Viola pictures from Doubt with video clips Gossipcenter.
Building the hype for its fall release, "Prisoners" has just come out with a brand new promotional poster for all to gaze upon.
The forthcoming Warner Bros flick boasts a killer cast that includes Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Paul Dano, Melissa Leo, Maria Bellow, and Viola Davis.
Stepping out in support of a good cause, Viola Davis attended the Silver Rose Gala & Auction on Saturday (April 6) in Los Angeles.
Rocking the purple arrivals carpet in a chic little black dress with lace detailing, the "Won't Back Down" actress chatted up fellow celebrities before heading inside.
Bringing together the brightest stars in Hollywood, the 2013 Screen Actors Guild Awards made for an incredible evening of fun and entertainment on Sunday (January 27).
Celebrities from television and film gathered together to honor the best in the business at the Shrine Exposition Center in Los Angeles earlier this evening, while taking a moment to celebrate Dick Van Dyke as he took home the 49th Annual Life Achievement Award.
It was an exciting scene at The Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles last night (December 2), as CNN held their "CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute."
"Glee" star Jane Lynch showed up for the shindig, looking sharp in a black suit as she smiled for the cameras in the arrivals area. She was joined by the adorable Miranda Cosgrove who looked lovely in a black dress with a bright red lip.
Adding another accolade to her already impressive collection, Viola Davis was honored by the National Domestic Workers Alliance in Washington, DC on Wednesday (November 14).
Elegant in a black above-the-knee dress, the 47-year-old beauty accepted the Voice of Love Award for Uplifting the Voices of Domestic Workers in Popular Culture honor at a reception at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.
Bringing together quite the esteemed lineup of Tinseltown talent, the19th Annual ELLE 'Women in Hollywood' Celebration took place at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills on Monday night (October 15).
Gracing the swanky soiree with their beauty, Cate Blanchett, Sarah Jessica Parker, Nina Dobrev and Uma Thurman were among the lovely ladies honored at the night's event.
Lending her time to help benefit a more than worthwhile cause, Viola Davis hosted the Rape Treatment Center Brunch at Greenacres, the home of Ron Burkle, in Beverly Hills, CA on Sunday (October 14).
The Tony award-winning actress looked flawless in a belted pink frock and strappy heels as she welcomed fellow celebrity attendees like David Schwimmer and Sophia Bush before honoring the guest of honor, Norman Lear.
She's always a lovely talk show guest, and last night (September 20) Viola Davis dropped by "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" for an interesting chat.
The "Help" actress explained that ever since her career took off, she's been slowly adjusting to encountering fans in public.
Speaking out on the importance of education, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Viola Davis appeared at a special screening of their upcoming film "Won't Back Down" followed by a Q&A in New York City this past week.
Opening September 28th, the movie stars the two Academy Award nominees as determined mothers who decide to fight the inner city school system for the sake of their faltering children while ending up creating their own school.
Working on what should turn out to be one of the most interesting movies of the year, Jessica Chastain and Viola Davis roamed around outside Cooper Union while filming "The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby" In New York City on Monday (July 30).
Each holding onto a piece of paper, "The Help" co-stars made their way to a park bench to sit and chat during their little bit of downtime.

Birds by name
Conservation status: Green
The sanderling is a small, plump, energetic wading bird. It has a short straight black bill and medium length black legs. It is pale grey above and white underneath, and there is a black mark at its shoulder where the folded wing meets the body. It does not breed in the UK, but is a winter visitor and passage migrant in spring and autumn, journeying to and from their high Arctic breeding grounds.
Calidris alba
Sandpipers and allies (Scolopacidae)

How Will Pfizer's (PFE) Stock Be Affected By Its Ongoing Battle for AstraZeneca (AZN)?
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of Pfizer Inc. (PFE - Get Report) are currently down -0.87% to $28,92 as it finds itself enmeshed in a political firestorm in the U.S. and Europe as it continues its attempt to buy AstraZeneca (AZN - Get Report).
A new offer is expected next week. AstraZeneca's shares are down -1.32% to $77.70.
A strategic question for Pfizer and its advisers is whether to come back with a new bid before bosses from both companies are grilled by U.K. lawmakers on May 13-14, or wait until the end of the week, Reuters reports.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 10 Favorite Growth Stocks
- PFIZER INC reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, PFIZER INC increased its bottom line by earning $1.65 versus $1.20 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($2.23 versus $1.65).
- The current debt-to-equity ratio, 0.48, is low and is below the industry average, implying that there has been successful management of debt levels. To add to this, PFE has a quick ratio of 1.79, which demonstrates the ability of the company to cover short-term liquidity needs.
- Net operating cash flow has increased to $5,786.00 million or 10.08% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, PFIZER INC has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of -40.05%.
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Pharmaceuticals industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, PFIZER INC has underperformed in comparison with the industry average, but has exceeded that of the S&P 500.

There's a new sizzle reel for Cool Spaces, a docu-reality show featuring Boston architect Stephen Chung, AIA, and coming to public television. As the show's host, Chung appears to be traveling to sites and studios to see architects at work and architecture in place. In the new reel for the premiere episode, Chung showcases the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health by Frank Gehry, FAIA, in Las Vegas. There's more than just that project to see: I spy the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston by Diller Scofidio + Renfro and the Herta and Paul Amir Building at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art by Preston Scott Cohen.
Here's my moment in the reel. "Architect Frank Gehry thinks like a sculptor. Like a lot of architects, he may start with a sketch," Chung narrates. "But from there, he begins to shape the building using cardboard, paper, plastic"—here it comes—"maybe even a napkin." I'll watch this show forever out of simple allegiance to Chung for channeling a Gehry gag from The Simpsons.
Chung interviews Gehry on the Ruvo Center, of course, but he also interviews Lou Ruvo, who appears to be a happy client. While in Vegas, Chung also hits up the CityCenter, focusing on the Crystals shopping mall by Daniel Libeskind. And there's plenty of shots of the larger city, and even some scenes that tease at speculation about what the future of Vegas holds.
The Las Vegas Sun reported on the arrival of the Cool Spaces crew to Las Vegas back in December. And with good reason: Footage from the reel, and presumably the first episode, makes for good PR for Vegas architecture. Vegas is a good choice for Chung and company, who will need some luck to get the show off the ground.
Had great conversations w scien=e channel and smithsonian net. There is interest in arch. Send me some ideas they say...— stephen chung (@coolspacestv) January 29, 2013
Had great conversations w scien=e channel and smithsonian net. There is interest in arch. Send me some ideas they say...
The most encouraging part of this Cool Spaces preview—beyond the notorious napkin reference and, of course, all the architecture—is the scene where Chung's on a bike with a guy who appears to know Vegas. Maybe the guy's a local; maybe a local architect, even. Chung appears to getting the on-the-ground perspective, riding around Vegas on a bike with him. It reminds me of the way that another great docu-reality show host approaches his particular area of expertise. Chung is fond of saying that he hopes that Cool Spaces "does for bold 21st century architecture what Julia Child did for French cooking." I'm betting Cool Spaces is a little less The French Chef and a little more No Reservations.

MISINTERPRETATION: Tom Cruise eating his baby's placenta. I know, I know it was a joke. How could we have misinterpreted someone with such a great sense of humor except when it comes to adult sized pacifiers, South Park and getting squirted in the face with water. (MediaGab)
REASON TO KEEP KIDS OFF MYSPACE: Charlie Sheen is online dating (TMZ)
PORN STAR NAME THAT NETWORK EXECUTIVES MISTOOK AS WHOLESOME: Pepper Dennis (WB)
We thought Melissa the Impregnantor was our top 'female rock singer' making headlines today, but then comes this late-breaking news about Wicked Wisdom's front woman, Jada Pinkett Smith . An "unamed New Jersey woman" is claiming she's involved in a 3 year affair with Pinkett Smith. The couple meet up for sexual escapades around the country, while Will hangs out in L.A.
According to the 36 year old woman: "Jada is a very passionate and caring woman. I believe she's with Will for the children and for her career. She loves her lifestyle and if she came out as a lesbian, it would be all over for her. Her children would be gone and her career. I love Jada more than anything and want to be with her… "It's time Jada come clean. It's 2006 and I know how bad she wants to be honest to the world and stop lying! I am hoping me coming out will inspire her to do the same."
Somehow this explains the couple's close knit friendship with TomKat. (thanks for the scoop ONTD)
Check out this "phat", "totally street" video of "thug" clothing designer Marc Ecko "tagging" President Bush's "Air Force One" with "graffiti".
Oh, and don't forget to read the "slammin" legal disclaimer in which they admit that what you've seen is completely fake, thereby rendering it utterly pointless.
How "dope".
Well, if he was he probably won't be after people see this. Like Alex said, clearly the Fear of bad publicity is not a Factor for Joe.

Recently, Gene Simmons, Kiss's sex-crazed front-man, had brainstorm: Why not combine women's exercise with sex to create the perfect workout: Sexercise. It's hot for men, it's slimming for women and the workout video will earn him millions. What's more, he can hold auditions where hot babes will show him why they should be Sexercise's workout video hosts. And maybe he can even whip out his bouncey bouncey hand dance.
Wait! He just had another a brilliant idea: why not bring his teenage daughter to the Sexercise auditions?! She can learn how daddy makes his money.
This is too weird to even be explained, so just watch Gene Simmons plug his Sexercise video with teen daughter in tow on TMZ.
MUST READ! When millionaire TV star whose life is way better than yours Joe Rogan is not talking wannabe reality stars into eating pig intestines, or waging online war against college kids, he apparently enjoys posting on his official message board, particularly in a 50-page thread entitled "I finally found that jewf*ck crash". Featuring the lacking levels of intelligence and sensitivity found on most online message boards, what makes this one particularly interesting is that a public figure like Rogan (and yes, it's really him) not only tolerates this litany of hate speech, shocking racism and outright cruelty, but he "enjoys it" – hell, he even declares it "the greatest thread in Rogan Board history". So what exactly does Joe find so funny?
It all starts when one of the members of the board (pictured) is "exposed" as part of Obesity Help, an online support group for morbidly obese persons. The rest of the board, including Rogan himself, respond by hurling insults (including some particularly disturbing anti-Semitic language), harassing innocent obese people and posting hardcore pornographic pictures (which, according to Rogan, is mandatory to be granted the privilege of participating in his little gem of an online community).
The Fear of bad publicity is clearly not a Factor for Joe Rogan.
WWTDD has some incredible pictures of Jamaica posted today. Just try to ignore the people obstructing the shots… it looks like a great place to visit!

Having a blast with this little quad. Nice not to have to tinker to get something work perfectly. Wired up LEDS already on all 4 corners using a hobbyking LED controller.
My MQX came with the big 500mah 1s batteries. The label on the package said not to charge more than .7 amps for 500mah. I tried to charge one of the 3 discharged 500mah's after some flight time, and it caught fire at the end of the charge. It was sitting in a lipo bag and my dog barked before I noticed. Got it put out and in a metal bucket for now. Besides dropping the charge rate which I did, what could be going wrong? I'm using this charger: http://www.gensace.com/Charger One battery puffed another time. I charge my MSRX batteries all the time with the same charger. what gives? |

In my small experiences with lipo batteries, I have had better experiences with Hyperion and Kong Power batteries. Currently I am running my mQx on some 2 year old Hyperion 1s240mah's (what I had on hand after the Eflite battery puffed). The 1s240mah's do not fly for very long, but I have been flipping and rolling my mQx using them (but I do start my flips and rolls up at about 30 to 75 feet high). |

Thanks, I checked them and they seem ok. A buddy has a friend that sells these at his LHS and he said there have been motor issues where they wear prematurely. I only have maybe 5 hours of flight on this and would expect them to last longer than that. He said Horizon has replaced some of them as good will. I may contact them regarding mine. |

One of my motors just stopped spinning out of the blue. I thought it was the motor but I plugged the "dead" motor into another socket and it worked fine so it's that particular socket on the board that died on me. Darn it, I knew I should've bought two.
Update! I reseated the plug and made it as tight as I could and yes it's working again! So false alarm. My mQX lives. |

Is this of any interest to anyone?
Cable-tie feet extenders are good for softening landings and also allow 'driving' along hard floors, with minimal friction. In theory, the longer and thicker they are, the taller you can make them - up to the point where weight and stability would be a problem. These 4 inch ones works fine for me though. A bit of electrical tape works well enough to hold them in place, but you could glue the ends on if you prefered. They can spin a bit at the loop end after a heavy landing, so check them before you take off or you'll get the trim wrong. If you're interested in trying a way of attaching an 808 camera as in the photos, it's explained here: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1669856 |
