Brainstorming with Doug Trumbull
Magid, Ron, American Cinematographer
In the not-too-distant past, Doug Trumbull headed the teams that created the breathtaking visual effects for what arguably became the most influential effects films of their respective decades: Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey and Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind. After directing the cult film Silent Running and the ill-fated Brainstorm, Trumbull turned his back on Hollywood and struck out on his own to explore new means of filmic expression.
His quest led him into what seemed at the time a very esoteric field: amusement park rides. Trumbull, now considered a visionary in his own right, recently shared his insights on the future of the field he defined and which he now seems poised to pilot to undreamed-of heights.
Remarkably, Trumbull's first job in the movie business was helming the effects on 2001, a film he credits with influencing his decision to make what he calls "experiential films."
"It was great to see an experiential movie presented in Cinerama on giant curved screens in stereo sound," he sighs. "Unfortunately, over the years, I saw the movie business go in the opposite direction, toward small-screen multiplex cinemas."
Trumbull's response was to create the widescreen Showscan system, in which a 70mm film is projected at 60 frames per second. Those numbers weren't guesswork; Trumbull scientifically measured the amount of visual and audio information the brain could absorb before it reached saturation. The goal was a sensory experience that touched people in ways that conventional movies never could.
Trumbull intended the hyper-realistic virtual reality sequences of his sci-fi film Brainstorm to be the first practical commercial application for his Showscan technology, but no studio would touch the film under those conditions.
"I realized that the really adventurous future - what I thought cinema could become - was going to happen in theme parks and world fairs and what some people call special venues," Trumbull relates. The real breakthrough came in 1976, when Trumbull coupled Showscan with a motion base to create the first simulator theater at his Future General company. This was a year before Star Wars, and a full decade before the famous Star Tours ride film that the movie inspired. Ironically, Paramount Pictures, Trumbull's partner in Future General, couldn't see the value of being in the theme park business. "Right now, every feature film company wants to be in the theme park business, but at the time, diversification was too new an idea for a feature film company," Trumbull says. "So I was redirected into doing the special effects for Close Encounters."
Nearly five years later, Trumbull made the choice to free himself as a filmmaker; no longer would he be aligned with a specific film format - not even the one he created. When offered the chance to direct a Back to the Future ride film in Omnimax, Trumbull accepted. "I felt this was an opportunity to definitively prove that there is a tremendous audience for experiential entertainment," he says. The ride he created, which some in the theme park business have dubbed "the best ride on the planet," puts its audience inside a time-travelling DeLorean within an immense Omnimax projection system. Passengers are completely surrounded by a very dense high-impact special effects extravaganza which takes them from the primeval world of the dinosaur to the far-flung future. And in another daring stroke, the four-minute ride actually tells a story. 'It's one of the first times that a ride has been transposed into a dramatic context," Trumbull observes proudly.
Directing and conceptualizing ride films appears to be the ultimate synthesis of Trumbull's talents, combining his design and effects background with an interactive canvas. His new outfit, The Trumbull Company, is currently providing special-venue entertainment for the Luxor Pyramid in Las Vegas, a vast Egyptian-style hotel/amusement park which will house three highimpact experiential ride films. …

She's in the middle of her national tour and over the weekend Demi Lovato got a surprise visit from none other than Joe Jonas.
While rocking out at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the "Skyscraper" singer launched into "This Is Me" from her 2008 film Camp Rock, and ex-boyfriend/former costar Joe Jonas came out to sing it with her.
Paying homage to the iconic feminist symbol, Demi Lovato channeled Rosie the Riveter in her last Instagram post.
The snap shows the "Really Don't Care" singer flexing like Rosie and rocking a red bandana. She included the caption, "Gettin' stronger everyday Be good to your body, and your body will be good to you."
Showing off her rock star edgy side, Demi Lovato poses up a storm for the cover of Fault magazine's Issue 19.
In the black and white spread, styled by Avo Yermagyan, the "Skyscraper" starlet looks intense and in her interview she explains the sound of her latest record.
Giving her fans a great way to achieve healthy skin, Demi Lovato has announced a new range of personal care products under the Devonne by Demi moniker.
The "Skyscraper" singer's wares will be available in December as part of a monthly subscription service for $29.99 per month.
She's gearing up to hit the road for a big tour next month, and Demi Lovato is definitely in an emotionally healthy place in her life these days.
The "Skyscraper" singer found strength by looking to Kim Kardashian's example, noting that being stick-thin isn't necessarily the ideal anymore.
Her personal struggles with eating disorders, substance abuse and self-harm are well-documented, but these days Demi Lovato is in much happier spirits.
The "Heart Attack" songstress posted four photos from her MTV Video Music Awards appearances over the years, and she told her Facebook fans that she's finally in a healthy place.
It's the happiest place on earth, so it's no wonder Demi Lovato chose Disneyland to party it up for her 22nd birthday on Wednesday (August 20).
Joined by her boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama, the "Heart Attack" songstress checked into a Disneyland Resort hotel carrying an overnight bag and looking fabulous.
She definitely prefers to keep her life as uncomplicated as possible, so it's no wonder Demi Lovato decided to come clean about her Twitter unfollow of Selena Gomez on "Watch What Happens Live" last night (August 14).
The "Skyscraper" singer chatted with Andy Cohen during the dreaded "Plead the Fifth" segment in which she was asked three questions and allowed to pass on one of the queries if needed.

THOSE who have read Miss Georgiana Woolsey's charming narrative "Three Weeks at Gettysburg," in this volume, will have formed a higher estimate of the women of Gettysburg than of the men. There were some exceptions among the latter, some brave earnest-hearted men, though the farmers of the vicinity were in general both cowardly and covetous; but the women of the village have won for themselves a high and honorable record, for their faithfulness to the flag, their generosity and their devotion to the wounded.
Chief among these, since she gave her life for the cause, we must reckon MRS. JENNIE WADE. Her house was situated in the valley between Oak Ridge and Seminary Hill, and was directly in range of the guns of both armies. But Mrs. Wade was intensely patriotic and loyal, and on the morning of the third day of the battle, that terrible Friday, July 3, she volunteered to bake bread for the Union troops. The morning passed without more than an occasional shot, and though in the midst of danger, she toiled over her bread, and had succeeded in baking a large quantity. About two o'clock, P. M., began that fearful artillery battle which seemed to the dwellers in that hitherto peaceful valley to shake both earth and heaven. Louder and more deafening crashed the thunder from two hundred and fifty cannon, but as each discharge shook her humble dwelling, she still toiled on unterrified and only intent on her patriotic task. The rebels, who were nearest her had repeatedly ordered her to quit the

A few days back, Variety reported that Jude Law was in final negotiations to join the production of Guy Ritchie's next film, Sherlock Holmes. Law is reportedly going to take the role of Dr. Watson and play sidekick to Robert Downey Jr.'s Holmes.
The film, which has been described as showing the swashbuckling, adventurous side of Holmes, is set to begin production early next month in London. From where I am sitting, Law is a solid choice for Watson, especially considering the type of film that it appears Guy Ritchie is attempting to make. He appears to want Holmes to be a more exciting, intense character, while still keeping him rooted in Arthur Conan Doyle's contemplative, reserved hero. Similar to casting Robert Downey Jr. in the lead, I think this fits. Then again, that's one man's opinion.
What do you think of Jude Law as Watson?

COLUMBUS Mayor Kristen Brown heeded the voices of downtown restaurant operators in taking a step back from a proposal to open the area to sidewalk vendors who would have been allowed to sell items ranging from food to flowers in carts and trucks.
Early in her second year in office, Brown deserves credit for taking into account the attitudes of some important constituents who have had a major role in revitalizing the downtown area.
The original concept, which was floated in a trial balloon fashion, was presented as a vehicle to continue the process of making the downtown an exciting and vibrant area that would attract residents and visitors alike. Street vendors are a staple of larger cities such as New York and do indeed lend a unique flavor to those areas.
However, managers and owners of existing downtown restaurants pointed out that allowing street vendors to operate under a licensing system would be unfair to those businesses that also have to pay property taxes, leases and salaries for a large number of employees.
Moreover, those restaurant operators also should be acknowledged for their initial investment in an unproven enterprise the city had taken in the effort to bring new life to the downtown. Those same operators also had to go through some trying times during the construction blitz that has been ongoing over the past five years, most notably the long and disruptive reconstruction of Fourth Street.
It is this kind of attention to the feelings of constituents that is important for any venture affecting the public and private sectors.

26 thoughts on "Cashman still has A.J.'s back"
Inertia – or just trying to make things look good fiscally. If I have three guys on the payroll and they're all equally good or bad, I guess I'm going to send out my guy making 15 mil. Not that he's any better, or deserves it, but wth – he's being paid anyway. There's a better chance of him figuring things out on the job, instead of sitting around.
And if I'm trying to move him – maybe a month of not sucking would raise his stock – heaven knows it can't go a whole lot lower.
AJ Burnett is the beautiful acquaintance that you dream about sleeping with. The one who always leads you on JUST enough so that you actually think there's a chance of it happening. You've known her for years and you've never truly gotten that far with her. You resign yourself to the fact that it will never actually happen. But then, every once in awhile, she will flash you that look. It's a look that may or may not have substance or intent behind it. A look that you've seen plenty of times before. A look that has never previously lead to anything significant. But invariably that look will rekindle your lost hope, and you'll spend the next several weeks/months anxiously awaiting what happens next.
And inevitably that look only leads to a 6-run, 4-inning performance against Boston. But that look is why he'll continue to have a shot in the rotation as long as he's on the roster.
My Quote of the Year, so far. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry
Nailed it in one. While Freddy is the girl from auto mechanics who'd love to do anything with you, but never gets the grease out from under her nails. And poor Phil – sadly, he has the baseball equivalent of mono for much of the season.
"I'm going to have his back the entire way."
/fart noise.
That sentiment rings a bit hollow after all that's gone down over the past few months with regard to the 2012 rotation. I think it's clear the Yankees don't want A.J. to be a part of the rotation, whether they trade him or not, and I think it will take really poor performances from both Hughes and Garcia in ST to justify giving A.J. the spot over them.
Yes AJ has stunk the last two years. Yes he is overpaid. But lets be thankful that hes not Lackey, who goes out gives up 6 runs in 3 innings and then says he had great stuff today. AJ is accountable for his lack of production, he always says the right thing. It is absolutely correct to get on AJ about his performance, which stinks. AJ knows that, Giradi knows that, Cashman knows that. The fans know that. I would still take AJ over Lackey these last two years, soley based on the accountability factor.
Hey, don't get me wrong, I *like* A.J. just fine. Heck, going just on what we've seen from him publicly in the last three years (his work with HOPE week, the way literally everyone around the team swears by his work ethic and the amount of time he's put in to trying to figure things out, etc.) I'd be happy to nominate him for the Good Guys in Sports Hall of Fame right now.
But being a good guy doesn't help your team win games.
And though I wouldn't say this site represents this attitude especially (indeed, often it's the antithesis), this theme and some of its comments, albeit relatively moderately expressed, touch on everything that makes me hesitant to identify fully with the Yanks and Yankee fans.
Sport, and winning in sport, does not matter. It is essentially meaningless. Its only value is in its ability to expose and, if you are lucky , develop character. There was a nice article on HardballTalk by Craig the other day about fan booing that, to my mind got to the heart of the same thing. If someone is trying their absolute best, by their lights, what on earth would possess you to be critical of them ( regardless of their salary which, after all was offered them to try their best for you rather than another team)?
Staying in New York the summer of '88, I still remember Dave Righetti in the middle of a tremendously difficult period of being unable to put away the third out as the closer. I went to, say, a dozen games that year and more than once he struck out the first two guys, got two strikes on the next and then walked him and the next guy and gave up a game-winning hit to the next. It was bizarre and painful to watch, particularly to me as a sensitive 18 year old. But if it affected me that was nothing to how it so clearly affected him. He obviously was trying his heart out each time he went to pitch and felt each failure as I did, shoulders slumping more each time. Yet "fans" booed him remorsely even as he came IN to pitch. I remember being so moved that I stayed outside the stadium after the game just to call encouragement to him as he left. I needn't have bothered since my quiet English tones were drowned by the chorus of spite uttered at him by the other people who took time from their lives to stay behind to try to make him feel even worse.
If AJ is really trying his best, as seems to be the general consensus, then let's not be even slightly critical of him because the outcomes are not as we would choose them to be. Maybe one way in which modern life has changed is that, because of our greater access to media, it has made us a more vicarious people. Or maybe New York has always been a place slightly lacking perspective or generosity of spirit. What have you done for me lately only works as a song title.
I don't know, isn't that kind of what *professional* sports are all about? And let's not understate the point here; we're not just talking about someone who hasn't played to his salary, but someone who's been really bad for two straight seasons. I can appreciate that he's trying hard but, well, *anyone* can do that. Granted sports are just sports and all, but one fairly obvious principle of professional anything is that merely trying your hardest isn't good enough if the results aren't there. Certainly you wouldn't dare entrust your next medical procedure to me on the promise that I would do my very best to succeed at it.
Also, there's the not minor issue that A.J. doesn't exist in a vacuum on the team. This isn't just about cutting a loss for the sake of catharsis, there's a possibility that there simply won't be a place for him on the roster. If the Yankees end the spring with 12 pitchers they want to keep plus A.J., what are they supposed to do, send Nova down to the minors and make Hughes a reliever just to make room for him?
Professional sports means someone pays you to do your best and that you thus have more time than an amateur in order to try and perfect your skills. It doesn't mean you will necessarily succeed (especially when the guys you are playing against are also playing on the same, professional, terms as you) and it still doesn't mean that it matters.
On the medical analogy, I would entrust my care to a medic who was properly trained and had experience of that which ailed me and all that might relate to it. Notwithstanding his training and expertise, he might not have the answer to every possible scenario that could arise in my or any other case. That's not unprofessional – that's life.
Expecting someone to produce the result you desire or in proportion to the amount of money you decide to pay him is, frankly. insane. If it worked that way, the Yankees would win every year.
I'm not sure I buy that. The try-your-best principle works fine in the amateur ranks, but once you become a professional anything it seems reasonable to expect you to be at least passable at your job. And while it's fine to feel bad for someone that isn't performing, I'm not sure that needs to go so far as to thinking it appalling if they lose their job for the reason of not being very good at it.
And to go back to the keeping sports in perspective angle, A.J. doesn't necessarily deserve any *sympathy* for his plight either. The middle aged working class guy who lost his job through no fault of his own because his company had to cut back in the face of an economic downturn? Sympathize with him. Even if Burnett gets released outright tomorrow, he's going to make every dime of the $33 million he's owed over the next two years. And don't get me wrong, I don't begrudge him what he made, I'm just saying let's not pretend that he's behind the eight ball of life in the grand scheme of things. I tend to think booing professional athletes (on your team) is somewhere between stupid and pointless, but if booing someone who pulls down in one ball game what your household makes in a year (or more) brings a little catharsis to your life, A.J., A-Rod, or whomever can deal with it, in my opinion.
And if nothing else, this answer still doesn't square away the question of what to do with A.J. if there isn't any room on the roster for him at the end of the spring.
Tend to agree with most of what you say. No problem not picking AJ to play for the team if he' not worth the place (and I tend to think he may certainly not be in the best five starters right now) and not either for a moment suggesting that his position is the most difficult that any himan could ever be in.
But if booing someone else gives one catharsis then I suggest, as I did at the start, that sport (even to one as a spectator) has revealed something about one's character that has nothing to do with the guy one is booing.
To reiterate, I do not mean to suggest that it would be appalling for AJ to lose his "job" and nothing I say relates to any reasoned discussion on the question of who should make the 25-man roster and the respective merits of the contenders, during which discussion it is perfectly fair to refer to past performance, good or bad.. I suggest that, presupposing as we seem to be that he is trying his best, it is crazy, and almost certainly counter-productive, to criticise him for the outcomes of that effort . In the way that Cash describes AJ as being accountable, I completely agree and respect him for it and will not denigrate the bloke just because his performance levels have been way below what I hoped for.
While I appreciate your sentiments and agree that A.J. has handled himself well, I wish we didn't have to choose at all between the two. Being a great guy doesn't put wins on the board.
I agree, All I am saying is that if he were a whining, annoying malcontent, then Cashman and Giradi probaly would have thrown him under the bus a long time ago/
He helped win us a world series, he's accountable for his stuff and he does has helped with the chemistry in a way (pies in the face, championship belt). Besides that though, he hasn't brought constant results.
But I actually think Cashman is still holding out hope for A.J. He went 4-0 last april and has shown flashes late in the season and even in the playoffs of still being a legit starter. That's not to say he's counting on A.J this year, but i think this is more than Brian just simply saying what he's expected to say.
still like him in big games.. when bats are eager to swing at his filthy curveballs.
I like AJ and his cream pies!!
Burnett just needs to grow up and not worry about the umpire's corners being too small around the plate.
He has fallen into the habit of being more concerned about called strikes than getting hitters out with flies, force and ground outs. His obsession with throwing everything in his repertoire for a strike has cost him dearly the past two seasons. I got to see him throw live the past three years several times and he has not been the same aggressive hurler he was in 2009. The OLD AJ would throw inside on a first pitch to establish his fastball on a heavy hitter. His breaking stuff used to be so nasty with late action that he would induce swings that boggled the imagination.
The Yankees pitching coach had better find a way to get inside Burnett's head and get him to relax more and allow his defense behind him to help him win a few more games this season.
I think it's rarely a good idea to publically throw one of your players under the bus.
Cashman et al have plenty of time to talk to AJ and get their thoughts across. And as AJ has been left off the PS SP roster before, it seems Cashman is not totally hypnotised by AJ's contract.
The situation sucks, but I believe Cashman will do what's best, taking all things into consideration.
The more this gets hashed over, the more I lean towards putting AJ in the rotation. On the proverbial "short leash." Our choices are Freddy, Phil, and AJ – right? Obviously, Phil would be your upside choice for 2014 and on. Freddy, at best, is insurance for this year.
Whereas – think about it – of those three pitchers, which one would be the most dominant, IF he were to pitch to potential, and to past performance? Yup – AJ is a lot closer to being a #2 than the other two; if Freddy is #3 in our rotation again this year, we have serious problems. Phil had a good record for the first half of 2010 – a record bouyed by the best run support in the majors, over that time period. That's it. While AJ was a proven dominant pitcher with injury questions when he was hired.
You might as well put AJ back in the rotation – he has far more immediate, win-now upside than the other two. Should it turn out that bad AJ is the guy that shows up – there's an entire season to let the Freddy fill innings and Phil try to reinvent himself.
I think I probably agree with this as a starting premise, at least until one of the others muddies the waters by throwing 20 great spring training innings.
Love it.

She can be pushy and exhausting (like most MIL's I'm sure!) so I'm not looking forward to it. I thought registering was going to be fun but now I'm not so sure.
If your DH feels overwhelmed, just go alone. My DH was the same way so I did it myself and it was actually really fun and relaxing to do it at my own pace. If DH was there he would have told me that everything I wanted was "fine with him" because he really didn't care what pattern or style I picked out for any specific thing. A lot of men are like that.
Don't let your MIL tell you what you need and don't need. It'll just stress you out!
Due Feb 5, 2013---It's a boy!!
If you find your mil overwhelming I wouldn't bring her, she will just stress you out. When you go to BRS to register they give you a little clipboard with a paper list of all the basic necessities. You will want to do this with your dh because there are decisions you will need to make the two of you. Inviting your mil to go with is a recipe for disaster. She doesn't remember what you need, it has been too many years, and some of the decisions are personal and she shouldn't be involved in, imo.
Good luck!
I believe each of my five children has made me a better man. So I figure I only need another thirty-four kids to be a pretty decent guy. -J Gaffigan
My MIL would like to if I let her, but I have DH tell her politely no thanks. He knows how to smooth talk her, not me :)
Wife to the love of my life since Oct 2010!
Mom to Son (7), Daughter (4), Daughter (1), and DD born 02/24/2013!
I feel torn mostly bc she's (hopefully) in remission from having lung and colon cancer. DH lost his dad 3 years ago from pancreatic cancer, and I feel like if he wants his mom there, then she should be there bc who knows how much longer she'll be around. Thank god she's doing well, but things can happen. I feel guilty for not wanting her there when she's his only parent.
It's true though, she does stress me out. =\ I mentioned that I thought it should be just us and he said, But she'll know what we need! Ugh.. I don't want to tell him I don't want his mom there. He's sensitive :(

The Corporate Executive Board Announces New $50 Million Stock Repurchase Program
ARLINGTON, Va., Aug. 29, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Corporate Executive Board Company ("CEB" or "the Company") (NYSE: EXBD) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a new $50 million stock repurchase program, which is authorized through Dec. 31, 2012. During the third quarter of 2011, CEB also utilized the remaining amount available under its previous stock repurchase plan, which was approximately $18.3 million as of June 30, 2011. "The Board's decision to implement a new share repurchase program reflects confidence in our growth opportunities and in our ability to generate strong cash flows," said Thomas Monahan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Our priorities for capital allocation remain unchanged: maintain a strong financial position, preserve flexibility for strategic investments, and intelligently distribute cash to shareholders – primarily through our dividend. This new share repurchase program supplements this strategy by allowing us to opportunistically offset historical and future dilution from employee equity compensation programs."Repurchases under the program may be made through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions. The timing of repurchases and the exact number of shares of common stock to be repurchased will be determined by CEB's management, in its discretion, and will depend upon market conditions and other factors. The program will be funded using the Company's cash on hand and cash generated from operations.

May 06 $500,000,000,000: New Study Says That's How Much Malware Will Cost Enterprises in 2014.
Microsoft's "Play It Safe" campaign promotes awareness of the connection between malware and piracy.
In conjunction with Microsoft's campaign, a study by the International Data Corporation and the National University of Singapore was released titled "The Link Between Pirated Software and Cybersecurity Breaches." The study surveyed 1,700 consumers, IT workers, chief information officers, and government officials in Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, Poland, Russia, Singapore, Ukraine, the UK, and the United States, and analyzed 203 computers acquired in Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Russia, South Korea, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, and the USA.
According to the study, enterprises worldwide are expected to spend almost $500 billion this year to deal with problems caused by malware deliberately loaded onto pirated software. Broken down that's $127 billion for security issues and $364 billion dealing with data breaches.
Consumers will spend $25 billion and waste in the neighborhood of 1.2 billion hours because of security threats and computer fixes stemming from malware on pirated software.
Additionally, governments could lose more than $50 billion dealing with costs associated with malware on pirated software.
Microsoft's Naim Yazbeck observes that cybercriminals "are profiting from any security lapse they can find, with financially devastating results for everyone."
The survey revealed a number of fascinating facts:
- 60 percent of consumers say their greatest fear from infected software is the loss of data, files or personal information
- 51 percent are worried about unauthorized Internet transactions
- 50 percent are concerned about hijacking of email, social networking and bank accounts
- 43 percent of the same respondents do not install security updates, leaving their computers open to attack by cybercriminals
- 59 percent of government officials are worried about the loss of business trade secrets or competitive information
- 55 percent are concerned about unauthorized access to confidential government information
- 55 percent stated the impact of cyberattacks on critical infrastructure was a major concern
- Nearly two-thirds of enterprise losses ($315 billion) will be caused by organized criminals.
- Close to 20 percent of the pirated software in enterprises was installed by employees
- Some 28 percent of enterprise respondents reported that security breaches causing network, computer or website outages occurred every few months or more often
- 65% of those outages involved malware on end-user computers.

Vince Gray Would Stick With Donovan McNabb
Redskins fans, do you think the team has lost its mind benching quarterback Donovan McNabb in favor of the hapless Rex "Sexy Rexy" Grossman? Well, so does your next mayor.
After a news conference today where Almost Mayor Vince Gray introduced some new appointees to his administration, he was asked by reporters what he thought of the Skins' decision. Gray did not hold back:
"How do you sign a guy for five years for what, almost a $50 million contract and then sit him down—for Rex Grossman? Ha, ha. Rex Grossman is gonna start? Did you see his one play!? He was the baloney in a sandwich, and..." At this point, Gray stumbled over his words trying to describe the folly involved when McNabb was benched during the last minutes of a game against Detroit, and Grossman fumbled the game away in his first play. "You got me going, guys—the Redskins still had a chance to win that game!"
Gray doesn't think Grossman is all bad: "Rex was a great college quarterback, okay—I'll leave it at that."
In a somewhat interesting twist, Gray said McNabb's father, Sam McNabb, had dropped by his office to say hi and to promote his charity work. Gray said Sam McNabb recently called to follow up, and Gray had planned on calling him back. "I'm gonna call him back today," Gray said with a chuckle.
When pressed on how Gray feels about the team's owner, Dan Snyder, Gray went back from being a fan to a politician.
"I'm not going to comment on his stewardship," Gray said. LL asked him to comment not as the mayor-elect, but as the "huge fan" he says he is. But Gray saw right through that one: "Yeah right, I'm just an average guy walking down the street, right?"
Too bad for Gray Snyder (a Maryland resident) can't vote in the District's 2014 election!

The baby's skull was crushed. His ribs and neck were fractured and his liver was lacerated. A doctor told police he may never breathe on his own again. That's what 19-year-old Olympian, Shane Dean Olsen did to his two-month-old son because apparently he thinks the best remedy for a crying baby is to beat the crap out of it. And on Thursday, a Thurston County judge sent him to prison for 11 years for his deeds.
Whatever the case, when his mom came home she noticed he wasn't breathing well.
And after an emergency helicopter flight to Mary Bridge Children's Hospital in Tacoma, the doctor returned the dire prognosis. Besides the bevy of new injuries from Olsen's latest freakout, they found older, healed injuries that suggested prior abuse.
When Olsen gets out of prison, he'll never be allowed to see his son again and he'll have to get permission from the Washington Department of Corrections to interact with any child.
And word on the street is his new housemates hold a special regard for child abusers.

Los Angeles - Dr Conrad Murray is reportedly suicidal.
The doctor - who was found guilty of the involuntary manslaughter of Michael Jackson last week - has been remanded in custody until his sentencing on November 29 and is said to have told visitors including former girlfriend Nicole Alvarez, his bodyguard Jeff, and his legal team, that he doesn't want to live because the trial verdict came as a shock to him.
According to gossip website TMZ, Murray has been in the medical ward at Los Angeles County Jail for the majority of his incarceration so far but has no physical ailments.
Suicide watch
Steve Whitmore, the spokesperson for the LA County Sheriff's Department refused to be drawn on the claims, explaining: "A person's medical or mental health status in the Los Angeles County Jail is protected under the law."
After Murray was found guilty last Monday, it was reported he had been placed on suicide watch and deemed a "keep away inmate", meaning jail officials will take special precautions to keep him safe, including giving him a single cell for his own protection.
Murray will be sentenced on November 29 and faces a maximum of four years in prison.
Michael died of acute Propofol intoxication in June 2009.

6 De Mayo Ii Group
The loan that they will take out will benefit small micro-businesswomen, one of whom is Beatriz. She says that this is their first time with Pro Mujer, joining at the invitation of a friend who is a member of the organization. Currently, she has a business painting signs. She learned the trade from her husband. When they married, he already had his own workshop. Beatriz later decided to become independent and have her own business.
The loan that she will take out now is to increase the working capital, purchasing paint wholesale from merchants in the city of La Paz. She will then store them in her selling space, because she works based on customer request. This way of working allows her to generate income to support her family because she is married and has two children.
When asked what she enjoys about Pro Mujer, she replied that she likes the savings and the health area offered by her institution. In the picture, one of the members is missing because she had to leave early due to work reasons.
El crédito que sacaran beneficiara a pequeñas microempresarias donde la señora Beatriz es integrante, ella indica que es la primera vez que integra Pro Mujer, ingresando por la invitación de una amiga que es socia de la institución. En la actualidad ella tiene un negocio de pintado de letreros; da a conocer que este negocio lo aprendió de su esposo, ya que cuando se casaron él ya había contaba con su propio taller, posteriormente decide independizarse y contar con un negocio independiente.
El crédito que ahora sacará es para el aumento de capital (compra de pinturas por mayor) que adquirirá de las comerciantes de la ciudad de La Paz y posteriormente los instalara en su espacio de venta ya que realiza los trabajos a pedido del cliente. Esta forma de trabajo le permite generar recursos para apoyar a su familia, ya que ella es casada y tiene dos hijos.
Cuando se le consulta qué le gusta de Pro Mujer, ella responde que le gusta los ahorros y el área de salud que ofrece la institución y su grupo.
En la imagen una de las socias no esta presente por razones del negocio tuvo que marcharse con premura.

The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Developing a skilled workforce for the Northwest
By Rich Coleman
Minister of Energy, Mines and Natural Gas
Dec. 14, 2012
VICTORIA – The Northwest Transmission Line (NTL) is key to new economic development in British Columbia's Northwest. B.C. has some of the best mining products in the world, including coal, copper, gold, molybdenum, silver, lead and zinc — much of it in the Northwest.
The NTL is a 287-kilovolt line that runs 344 kilometres from the Skeena Substation (near Terrace) to a new substation that will be built near Bob Quinn Lake. NTL will be larger than most British Columbians could imagine, and will contain enough steel to build one-and-a-half Eiffel towers. The line now is under construction and is expected to be energized in spring 2014.
The transmission line will create jobs, provide a connection point for mining and other resource development projects and be a link to clean power for communities in the region. Mines like Red Chris will be serviced by the new NTL, and it will likely be its first industrial customer. Once the mine is fully operational, material from the mine will be produced daily and transported to the Port of Stewart where it will be shipped to overseas markets.
In order to fully realize the potential of the NTL, we need to ensure that there is a properly trained workforce ready to the meet the labour demands that are being created. Conservatively, it is expected that the Northwest will be home to 4,000 new construction and operational jobs and as many as 12,000 by 2021.
In recognition of these future labour needs in the region, the Northwest Labour Market Partnership Program was created in 2010 with support from the provincial government, BC Hydro and other partners. This partnership program is led by a group of representatives from industry, training institutions, First Nations and communities.
In order to ensure that as many local people as possible benefit from the creation of these new jobs, the Northwest Labour Market Partnership Program researched the gap between the types and numbers of jobs that will be created and the existing workforce, and then developed practical strategies.
Over the next 10 months, this program will launch programs and projects that will provide skills training and encourage trained workers to move to northwest B.C. They will also promote Aboriginal training and employment and enhance partnerships to ensure that labour market development activities, strategies and programs are co-ordinated.
For more information on the work of the Northwest Labour Market Partnership Program, visit:
A summit, Partnerships 2020, is planned for March 2013 and will bring together players from industry, local governments, Aboriginal groups, economic development agencies and educational institutions. Summit participants will explore ways to support the development and establishment of a well-trained workforce for industry in northwest B.C.
Together, we are working toward a prosperous future full of economic opportunities for B.C.'s Northwest. A skilled northern workforce will benefit B.C. communities for generations to come.

Hi ladies,
I'm just stopping by to try and get some info, support and ideas...
My mom was just diagnosed with breast cancer on monday and man has it been an emotional week for the whole family. She went in for a visit with the counselor and surgeon about an hour after she was diagnosed and got the information that they are recommending that she do a bilateral masectomy. We are in the process now trying to get everything scheduled together (the masectomy surgeries and the plastic surgeon---they are going to put in the expanders behind the muscle right away after the masectomy so she has only 2 incisions when its all said and done instead of opening up the same site 3 times) its all happening so fast and she has no idea what kind of questions to ask until its something that she bumps into in conversations.
So my question to you guys is... when you found out... what questions did you ask? what info do you wish you would have known? any info that i can give her i think will ease her mind a little-- and mine too!
what can i do for her? I want to be there all i can as she is not only my mother, but my best friend.
Christmas type presents? i'm looking for ideas of things to get her to make her life easier through this process... what would those be?
Thanks in advance for any replies!
