The road for The Amazing Spider-Man 3 has been strange road as of late. Since The Amazing Spider-Man 2 "under performed" in the box office, it seem that the future for the Amazing series was uncertain. Not only did the general reaction from moviegoers have Sony Pictures question their next move for the Wall Crawler but they seem to be wondering what to do with the proposed spin-offs, Sinister Six and Venom. Many fans have wondered what would happen next, but at last Sony has revealed their plans for the Amazing Spider-Man series, and its both good news and bad news.
The bad news (which is using the term loosely) is that The Amazing Spider-Man 3 is being push from its original release. The movie was going to hit theaters on June 10, 2016; but studio has decided leave that spot and let the Uncharted film take its place. Instead , The Amazing Spider-Man 3 will not be seen until 2018. At this time there is no official release date; only that 2018 is the year Sony has planned. While this may seem bad for fans of the series, it could be a blessing in disguise. Now that the film is four years away, it gives the filmmakers plenty of time on what they want to do with Spider-Man's next major adventure. Perhaps with this delay, The Amazing Spider-Man 3 could be built as one massive blockbuster for the friendly neighborhood hero.
So while this may seem bad for Spider-Man fans, that is not say we will not be seeing the franchise until 2018. As it has already been stated, Sony Pictures plans to have Sinister Six hit theaters, and the film will be directed by Drew Goddard. While it seemed like the spin-off would not be appearing any time, it turns out the Sinister Six are coming in 2016. From their statement from Comic-Con, Sony Pictures revealed that Sinister Six will be hitting theaters on November 11, 2016. This shows that the studio has every intention to push this notorious team, and it could give Spider-Man the right momentum come 2018.
While it may seem that there is still plenty of uncertainty, this report from Sony Pictures reveals doorways of possibility. With the Sinister Six coming, it leads to believe that we are in for one massive confrontation in 2018. However, just because The Amazing Spider-Man 3 will be showing up in theaters in four years does not mean the franchise will be standing still in that time period. This is pure speculation, but there could be a lot more going on with Spider-Man then some may think. As moviegoers know, the Venom spin-off is still in the works. However, there is a chance that Sony Pictures has other plans for Spider-Man from now til 2018. It may be giving the studio too much credit, but there is a chance that Spider-Man has plenty to offer in the next four years. We will just have to see,

The Honeywell Hometronic Manager
You can control your whole house from a central
location using the Honeywell Hometronic Manager - Smart Controls
– you can choose almost anywhere to locate the Manager, it only needs
a power supply, no other wiring.
The simple user smart controls allow you to adjust times, temperatures, blind positions, light levels very easily;
- Four line LCD display with backlight
- Push and turn wheel for easy programming
- Return button
- Auto/Manual button with LED display
- ECO button for energy saving
- 6 Dedicated lifestyle buttons (Total 16 lifestyles)
You can control up to 16 different rooms (zones) of heating (and cooling); the rooms can be given real names of your choice (e.g. "Mikes Room"). Got more than 16 rooms ? No-problem, just use another Honeywell Hometronic Manager – the patented radio technology means that you can have as many Managers and controlled devices in your house as you need, with no interference.
In addition to the 16 rooms, you can have up to 16 sensors and 32 modules for switching or dimming lights, controlling blinds, all responding to the signals from one Honeywell Hometronic Manager.
Time Programming is virtually limitless; you can define up to 1600 switching points per week for each zone and device. The switching points allow you to set, for instance, different temperatures for a room at different times of the day.
You may wish, for instance, the reception rooms and kitchen to be at a cooler temperature during the daytime, when you are moving around, than in the evening, when you are sitting still relaxing, maybe watching TV.
Lifestyles are a feature unique to Hometronic. This great idea allows you to put your whole house, or just part of it, into a different operating mode when you want to use your house in a different way.
For instance, you might have guests staying in your house. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to turn up the heating in their room, even turn on power to the TV in their room, just from the touch of a button downstairs ? Better still, when they leave, you can turn it all off again.
Also, when you leave the house, you could arrange for the "away" lifestyle to reduce all room temperatures to a "fabric protection" level, turn off some lights, put other lights into "presence simulation" mode (where they play back a learnt pattern, to make it look like you are still at home), close blinds or security shutters and so on.
Special alarm "lifestyles" can be set up to take special actions on certain events happening; you could make the automatic windows close, for example, if it began to rain. You could shut down the mains water supply if the kitchen floor began to flood.
16 different Lifestyles can be set up in each Hometronic Manager. The unit comes with factory default settings, so Lifestyles will work even if you don't set them up yourself.
Lifestyles can be triggered by pushing one of the 6 dedicated buttons on the front of the Honeywell Hometronic Manager, or by using the "push and turn" wheel. You can also time and delay the start of a lifestyle (for instance, you can set the duration of a vacation, so that the house is nice and warm when you return).
You can also use external events (e.g. a Fire Alarm) to trigger a Lifestyle

At last, the pudgy middle child in America's most above-board comics family is indulging in illicit substances - and he looks great!
Yes, it's true, drugs can rip a family apart. But in Jeffy's case, they can also grant a ripped physique.
Just take a gander at Saturday's "Family Circus," in which the sight of a bulked-up Jeffy greets curious readers. What happened to the kid's saggy torso and extra stomach? Has Jeffy been jogging and trying his hand at yoga? Avoiding sweets? Sauntering about the neighborhood with Sam and Barfy?
Whatever the kid's been ingesting - human growth hormone or something the guys in Major League Baseball sample -we are all for it. Jeffy, after all, is well past middle age, and if he doesn't do something to improve his physique, he may never wade into the dating pool.
Of course, it helps that Daddy Keane has been trying to supplement his income with occasional Walter White-type forays into the business of manufacturing methamphetamine. Supplies must be ample for Jeffy to have enough to get his chest and shoulders into that kind of shape.
If Jeffy can keep it up without the authorities discovering what he's up to, it may just help this often-wayward character turn a corner and get on with the business of growing up and getting old. You can't be a child actor forever, Jeffy!
That said, the next time a panel of "Family Circus" depicts Jeffy getting ready to throw a temper tantrum, we'd like to suggest you hustle on over to "Sally Forth" or "Luann" and spare yourself the violent scene likely to break out.

It was fantastic. It's a high energy performance, the performers were fully engaged, absolutely excellent. Quality performance. I would love to see it again. The five singers put their heart in each song (it's one song after another), the piano player and the band are GREAT.
Loved it, loved it.

"My Kind of Crazy" by Katie O'Sullivan is a contemporary, steamy romance set in New England. Kendall Roarke is betting everything on making her bed and breakfast into the premier wedding destination on Cape Cod, despite her recent messy divorce. Jonathan Reynolds moved back to the Cape to take over his uncle's veterinary business and start fresh after his own marriage ended.
Kendall's best friend asks her to be a foster home for a St. Bernard puppy that was left at the animal shelter. The puppy acts as a catalyst to bring the two characters together with a common interest. Taking on a puppy that causes damage while trying to renovate an older home in time for the summer vacation season is a crazy idea, but as her friend points out, everyone is crazy, the secret is to find someone who is your kind of crazy.
The book is well written and nicely plotted, with a simple story about life in a small town, old friends, and pitching in to help when needed. The story is different from other romances because it includes a touch of mystery, but in an unusual way. The small town has a rumor mill that can twist a story into a wild speculation. At first, Kendall believes a rumor about Jon, to set the scene about how rumors get started in that town. Then her new next door neighbor accuses her of being a lesbian, and starts telling stories about her vicious dog at the local pub. Then, when the neighbor's house burns down, the police question Kendall, thinking that she may have set the fire. The rumors people are telling serve as false leads and clues about what really happened. Kendall isn't a detective, but since the rumors affect her business, she has a right to know the truth.
The book is steamy and contains foul language. The use of both wasn't well motivated in my opinion. First Kendall says she wants to take it slow, just kissing, and then a few pages later, she gives in and gives it all away. A strong woman wouldn't do that. A respectable, professional woman who cares about her reputation wouldn't do that. A hard won trophy is highly cherished. I would have liked more emotional conflict about resisting temptation in both of the characters.
The foul language wasn't motivated enough, either. Anyone who is involved with customer service has to watch their mouth, because a wrong word at the wrong time will cost them a sale. While I was willing to let the bad guy use bad language to prove how bad he really is, it wasn't called for in the rest of the cast. The language made the characters less professional and less respectable.
Other than a lack of professionalism and dedication, the story is quite enjoyable and well written.

Let $\Omega$ be a bounded domain in $\mathbb R^2$. By the Sobolev embedding theorem, if $k>\frac np$ (in this case $k>\frac 2p$) then
$u\in W^{k,p}(U) \implies u\in C^{k-[\frac 2 p]-1,\gamma}(U)$
for a certain $\gamma$; where $[\frac 2 p]$ is the integer part of $\frac 2p$.
If $k=1$ and $p=2$ then a function $u\in W^{1,2}(U)$ is not necessarily in $L^\infty(U)$, like the function $\log|\log|x^2+y^2||$ shows. (Let $U$ be the disk centered at the origin of radius $\frac 12$.)
What is an example that shows that if $k=2$ and $p=2$ then for a function $u\in W^{2,2}(U)$, $|\nabla u|$ is not necessarily in $L^\infty(U)$?
More generally, is there a standard way to construct such example from the previous one, that is $\log|\log|x^2+y^2||$?

Stars go to great measures to protect their privacy. Sometimes, however, their attempts at going undercover are downright loony. Such is the case when it comes to the pseudonyms stars use when checking into hotels.
Behold, the 12 wackiest we could find…
1. Justin Timberlake AKA "Mr. Woodpond"
Wait…Timber is "Wood"…Lake is "Pond"…Justin, you're such a card!
2. Britney Spears AKA "Alotta Warmheart"
Half Austin Powers vixen, half Care Bears. The unfailing Urban Dictionary suggests "Warmheart" might reveal more about Spears' character than one might suspect.
3. Jay-Z AKA "Frank Sinatra"
As Mr. Sinatra's wife, Beyonce has her pick of "Nancy Barbato," "Ava Gardner," "Mia Farrow," or "Barbara Marx."
4. Fergie AKA "Penny Lane"
She's either a big Beatles fan or a big Almost Famous fan. Or both. We won't limit her.
5. Justin Bieber AKA "Chandler Bing"
An homage to the Friends character, and perhaps a nod to how many times a day the Biebs hears girls cry, "Oh…my…god."
6. Kim Kardashian AKA "Princess Jasmine"
Hence, Kanye is Prince Ali, Fabulous He, Ali Ababwa (colloquially known as "Aladdin"). Well, he's definitely got the weird pants thing down.
7. Usher AKA "Mr. Dinero"
"Dinero" is a false cognate; Usher is revealing his love of money, not diners.
8. Nicole Scherzinger AKA "Edna Krabappel"
Wouldn't necessarily have pegged the Pussycat Doll as a Simpsons fan, but during her stint on X Factor, Simon Cowell was definitely the Bart to her Mrs. Krabappel.
9. Michael Jackson AKA "Dr. Doolittle"
The late King of Pop famously loved animals, in particular a chimp/rumored ringbearer named Bubbles (enough to warrant a Wikipedia page devoted to their relationship!).
10. Lindsay Lohan AKA "Bella Lovelace"
Great tactic—Make 'em believe the main character from a trashy romance novel is staying in your room!
11. Jon Bon Jovi AKA "Stanley Kowalski"
JBJ is a huge fan of the play "A Streetcar Named Desire," though we hope he doesn't aspire to live up to the character's name.
12. Elton John AKA "Sir Humphrey Handbag" AKA "Brian Bigbun" AKA "Bobo Latrine"
Because of course Elton John has three crazy aliases.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Brimfield Police Chief David Oliver has become the Andy Griffith of the Internet.
"There are numerous reasons you should not rob a convenience store at knifepoint. The first that comes to mind is that doing so makes you a mope. More importantly, taking stuff that does not belong to you is just plain wrong. Waving a knife around and frightening people is also unacceptable. Please study the following pointers. After doing so, we request that when you get out of prison you never come back to Brimfield."
Because of Oliver's weekly missives, Brimfield has been dubbed "Mayberry with meth labs."
Oliver's Internet popularity has caught the attention of publishers and Hollywood producers alike. Several networks have approached him about doing a reality-TV show (he's not interested), and his book "No Mopes Allowed" (from Gray & Company publishers in Cleveland) -- an aggregation of his Facebook entries and other personal and law enforcement observations -- has sold nearly 10,000 copies since releasing in September.
A "mope" -- in the parlance of Oliver -- is a criminal.
There are three big reasons Oliver is so popular. When it comes to crime, he is no-nonsense. He stresses the importance of taking responsibility for one's actions. It's an old-fashioned philosophy, which harkens back to a simpler time when it was easier to tell right from wrong and good guys from bad.
Third, Oliver is a funny guy. He calls the county jail "the bed-and-breakfast," and he refers to handcuffs as "silver bracelets." He exhorts overnight guests at the B&B to "try the oatmeal!" He realizes that if an officer can't laugh at a lot of what he sees, the job will eat him up.
Griffith -- who played the small-town cop Andy Taylor on "The Andy Griffith Show" -- keeps coming up in Oliver's philosophy.
"I've taken more than one page from his manual," Oliver admits.
"We do things a little differently in Brimfield," Oliver says. "There are only 10,500 people in a 23-square-mile area. My guys have been known from time to time to shovel a little snow for an elderly resident. They might have even gone to the drugstore and picked up a prescription or two for a resident. If somebody calls us from a bar and says they're too drunk to drive, there's a pretty good chance they might get a lift from us. It's all about public safety. We don't want that driver to kill himself or someone else. If we can prevent that, it's a win."
Oliver doesn't drink, and he says as much several times in his book. Never had a drop. The chief says his aversion to alcohol stems from a family incident that happened when he was 4 years old.
"I had to go to the police station with my grandmother and mother to get my grandfather out of jail because he'd been stopped for drunken driving," he said. "I had four $1 bills, and I put them down on the desk telling the officer I'd come to get my grandfather out of jail. Later, my grandfather made it known to me that it was alcohol that had brought him to that place. I think I resolved then that I would never drink."
"I had an order of five books for Malaysia," said Gray. "I'm pretty sure I'm going to lose money on the shipping. I've never sent a book of mine to Kuala Lumpur. I'm not complaining. It's a good problem to have."
One person the book has given public exposure to besides Oliver is his wife of 14 years, Lisa. The couple has four kids, two of which are from Oliver's previous marriage. In the book, Oliver refers to his wife as "Mrs. Chief."
"He and I are very similar in our attitude about being aggressive about public safety," says Kostensky. "We have a shared concern for the greater good. A big part of being a township trustee is finding new revenue streams so you don't have keep going to the people for money. He came up with the idea for an impound lot so the tow companies don't get all the money."
Oliver's famous Facebook page has also been a source of income.

- sexual arousal;
- situational influences;
- prediction of preferences
Despite the social importance of decisions taken in the "heat of the moment," very little research has examined the effect of sexual arousal on judgment and decision making. Here we examine the effect of sexual arousal, induced by self-stimulation, on judgments and hypothetical decisions made by male college students. Students were assigned to be in either a state of sexual arousal or a neutral state and were asked to: (1) indicate how appealing they find a wide range of sexual stimuli and activities, (2) report their willingness to engage in morally questionable behavior in order to obtain sexual gratification, and (3) describe their willingness to engage in unsafe sex when sexually aroused. The results show that sexual arousal had a strong impact on all three areas of judgment and decision making, demonstrating the importance of situational forces on preferences, as well as subjects' inability to predict these influences on their own behavior.

This time around, the Marxists are going to use our kiddies as the starting off point for their civilization killer, known as the model cities program. They have developed a slickly produced piece of animation, geared for use in our public education system as a means to indoctrinate our younguns into the wonders of Socialism. By utilizing our public education system as a stepping off point, all they need do is continue the propaganda there and wait for the kiddies to graduate to voting age with little more than skulls full of mush on their shoulders. Are you still on the fence as to whether it was a good idea to allow a Department of Education to be created, or to allow for the Marxists to completely take over the education of our children by letting the public sector unions to become mega powerful. Fortunately, there is a solution, as we have all seen the Model Cities Program before, and seen its ravages. That city is Detroit, Michigan, and its story has previously appeared on this very blog. We have something that the Marxists don't have. We have the truth. As luck would have it, their ideas are not knew, and in fact have all been tried in various laboratories around the globe, Greece, Spain, the former Soviet Union, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, European Union, California, Illinois, Detroit, New Orleans, etc. You should get the point. I think we should show the kiddies the first video, just like the Marxists want, and then follow up with the second video, so that the children may also see the results of following through on what the proponents of video wish to inflict upon us.
As you may have suspected, the real live results are somewhat different than what an animator is able to create through his craft. Detroit you see, implemented this very program way back in 1965, as a part of LBJ's Great Society. Now strap in once again, and witness the true results of the Marxist plan in action!
Special Note: Crowder stated in his video that Detroit's unemployment was 28% when this video was produced, but on an appearance on Fox later, he placed that rate at 50%. Don't buy that Detroit is coming back baloney the left is pushing, those commercials all had to be filmed in Southern California.
There are many problems with the top down command economy. One of the problems is that it never accounts for human behavior as a part of its calculus. Where are we going to find these altruistic angels to come and organize our society for us. The thought that these enlightened individuals will never once place their interests or the interests of their cronies above those of society is at best moronic, and at most, deadly to the rest of us. All one need do to dispel that idiocy is take a look at the current group of Marxists in charge. The Obama's jet around the globe and party like rock stars, their cronies are handed Billions in federal loan guarantees for businesses already in bankruptcy, while at the very same time, the President of the United States is delivering speeches on how their already dying projects represent the future of all mankind. To be certain, there is much more about the first video than what I have briefly touched upon here. The important thing however is that we already have a record of what happened when it was previously attempted.
The Socialists will always counter with the same argument, so be prepared for it. That argument will always be, "we just didn't do it right this time. We should have invested more resources. we allowed corruption to enter into the process, and we won't do that this time around." The good news though is that we don't have to continue ceding the education system to the political left. Conservatives can become teachers as well. We, need to start standing up to the unions and start asserting our wishes upon the school boards via the electoral process. Fire the principals who allow this tripe to be utilized as an educational tool, unless is it as a precursor to a counter argument, such as the Crowder video. We still have this ability in our country, we just need to use it.
Hat tip Katie Baker!

Mr. Wiseman I found a video which will give an explosive view of the Bronx at that time. The video has pauses.
Mr. Wiseman it on took a few minutes to come up with a reference to the situation in the Bronx. Please read it
carefully. Thank you.
Mr. Wiseman you win now do some scholarly research. on Detroit in the 60s and 2010s. See if you can obtain
an article, "The Bronx on Fire", NY Post, mid to late 60s.There is much info on the decay of the Bronx in
that period.
Diogenes, O.K., so you linked to an article that basically parroted everything I wrote in my original post. Did you even bother to read the article you linked to? Jerome Cavanagh was elected in 1961, and began serving in January of 1962. Your statement that Detroit was a disaster in 1961 is in no way supported by the the meager facts you do present. Your idea that Detroit immediately crashed and burned simply because Cavanagh was elected, but had not yet served can only be characterized as moronic. No, I did not live in the Detroit area until 1989, but I am able to read history. I was able to speak with the people who did live there. I do know for a fact that in 1964, Detroit was the city with the nation's highest per capita income. I was not trying to smear you, but merely attempting to point out that your positions are not based on anything relating to reality. That the city of Detroit was negatively impacted by the great social experimentation of Marxist ideology and wealth redistribution schemes is not even a question. You argued that it was a decay of American values which caused it, and then linked to an article that completely describes what I stated originally as proof of your position.
By the way, I asked for a link to the two habitat cities in NYC, as I found nothing on those. My quip about your math was a statement that I find it highly unlikely that a 10 story building would have 10,000 apartments of any size, let alone two and three bedroom units.
Mr. Wiseman this one is for you .. and all here.
Tell me Mr. Wiseman, now I expect an honest answer, were you there in Detroit in 1961, huh? By the way
you say LBJ picked Model Cities, which year? Smearing me doesn't make it Mr. Wiseman.
Houston has already made it a law that you cannot give anyone food if they are hungrey! Also Obama is promoting that teenagers shouldn't work on farms. George Soros is buying up farmland as fast as he can. Beware folks, they plan to starve us into admission. Another Socialist move on our freedom.
Diogenes, what on Earth are you talking about? I tried to research what you put forward, and have not been able to find anything at all to match your claim. The math is a little suspect as well. Also please note that your assertion that Detroit was a mess in 1961 is no where supported by the facts. Detroit when the Model Cities program was started had the highest per capita income in the nation. This was the reason that LBJ picked Detroit, it already was the success that they were looking for to tout their success.
The rest of your comment is simply unintelligible.
Let me tell you guys something and it is not all Marxists at the bottom of it. A lot of it is ingrained culture.
In the early 1940s a famous life insurance company built two habitat cities within NYC. These comprised of 10 storey buildings containing 10,000 apartments, containing 2 and 3 bedrooms. In order to get an apartment a background check was done, as well as inspecting your current premises to see how you and your neighbors lived; of course you were expected to have a decent income. These two special cities thrived, having maintenance crews tending the grounds and gardens; the gardens were replaced for each of the four seasons. If a tenant did not live up to the code they were tossed out. In the late 60s restrictive codes against housing were considered racist and were removed. Very gradually at first a different tenant group moved in and for a while, about three-years, the environment and relations were positive, but then a piggybacking took place and
pretty soon a ingress stampede occurred in which standards changed - made visible by garbage strewn about, infestation and crime. White flight took place big time and soon after massive decay. It became irretrievable
from what once was exceptionable . Marxists did not cause it but ingrained primitive culture.
In 1961 when I first drove to Detroit, starting from it suburbs and upon miles after into the city , gracious homes where once lived middle class workers and executives now were burned down or boarded up. It wasn't
a case of Marxism but primitive values. I think the primitive values have improved but slightly; the excuse is
poverty. Perhaps some cultures may be softening from too much entitlements, but why are some cultures self-starters, where they know that work is the way to achieve?
Here in Pittsburgh PA area yesterday there was a motorcycle ride for Trevon.. The riders were all black,spouting the usual verbage we her on TV, about thirty of them.
Looking at this event form a view of helping/not helping Obama get reelected, I think they, the blacks and Democrats have jumped the gun. Such stirring of racial differences in September would have been remembered come Nov. Unless the plan is to continue to intensify the confrontation.
I see an effort to keep our second ammendment activities off these pages, good idea. One thing to question though is if everyone would qualify as an expert?
Being raised on a farm and moving to the suburbs to start my teen years, I concluded there is just not enough to do in a city. Except raise mischief of course. I shudder to think of what will happen when the 'planners' realize big cities with unemployed people won't work. Then maybe we'll see the 'coop' farms being broken up and everybody getting five acres to live and grow food on. That worked in China, didn't work in the USSR. I follow the farm scene, read how USA farmers went to present day Russia with modern farming methods. They were a huge success. Then the Russian Govt taxed them out of business. Last I read the collective farms lie fallow again, and Russians buy wheat from us.
Yes, I do know Hong Kong is a big functioning city. Difference in work ethic, as far as I can tell.
Don't forget:in NOV get ABSENTEE BALLOTS for all the elderly in your circle, and yourself if there's any chance you might not be at home. Copy the filled out ballot and the paperwork, marking on the paperwork that you've done so. Our people can't be denied access to a polling place when it's the mailbox.

THE decorations may be up, the search for presents may be under way but the real sign that Christmas is just around the corner has arrived in style.
East Lancashire's biggest pantomime is a colourful, musical spectacular complete with a gymnastic cat, an ice skating dancer, a chorus of singing puppets and a sackful of laughs.
Once again Blackburn's 'Mr Panto' Phil Walker is at the heart of things taking the lead role and heading off to London to seek fame and fortune.
He's the ideal man to connect with a young audience getting them to join in wherever possible and bringing the true spirit of pantomime to the stage.
Other highlights in the two-hour show are the would-be ballet dancer Sarah the Cook played by Madame Galina, the alter ego of performer Iestyn Edwards, and acrobat and gymnast Alexey Kofanov as Tommy the Cat.
As he flew over the heads of the front rows he had the audience transfixed and if you've never heard a cat sing a Carpenters' song, now's your chance!
Dick Whittington has been produced by the Stageworks and although the sets are a little low key compared to previous years the costumes are spectacular.
An underwater scene involving some dayglo puppets is worth the price of a ticket alone.
Although the first half gets off to a slightly sluggish start it certainly picks up in act two.
Dick Whittington has everything you'd want in a family panto from genuinely comic moments and a spectacular baddie to boo in the form of the statuesque Queen Rat to plenty of popular songs worked into the show with everything from Queen to Katy Perry and loads of audience participation.
So give yourselves an early Christmas present and get in the festive spirit.
*Dick Whittington, King George's Hall, Blackburn, until December 31. Details from the box office on 0844 847 1664

By Cal Athletics on Tue, May 27, 2014 Related Links Complete Release @CalMensGolf HUTCHINSON, Kan. – Cal seniors Brandon Hagy and Joël Stalter were named Division I PING First-Team All-Americans by the Golf Coaches Association of America on Tuesday. Both were named to the GCAA's First-Team All-American squad for the first time in their career after being second-team selections in 2012-13. The honor is the latest on a long list of awards in 2013-14 for Hagy who previously captured the Byron Nelson Award, Pac-12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year, Tom Hansen Pac-12 Conference Medal, co-team MVP honors, Cal's Ben Furth Award and a Golden Bear Achievement Award. He was also a national semifinalist for The Ben Hogan Award, a first-team All-Pac-12 selection, chosen to represent Team USA in the 2014 Palmer Cup and the Pac-12's Player of the Month for September of 2013. Hagy was an individual medalist three times this season (Jack Nicklaus Invitational, Arizona Intercollegiate, Aggie Invitational) and finished in the top 10 in 10 of 14 events with nine of those showings in the top five. He was also Cal's top finisher in five events and led the team with a 70.98 stroke average "I'm very excited to be named a first-team All-American," Hagy said.

College Hockey:Miami Downs Bowling Green
OXFORD, Ohio — Don't tell the No. 7 Miami RedHawks (6-2-0, 3-1-0 CCHA) that their power play is not good. After starting the season with a 13% average on the power play, the RedHawks' unit came alive tonight against their conference foe, the Bowling Green Falcons (2-3-1, 0-2-0 CCHA) with two power-play goals in a 3-0 shutout victory. It was the RedHawks' sixth straight win against the Falcons and the protection of the puck by the RedHawks contributed a lot to their victory tonight.
"We didn't turn the puck over and we did a good job of protecting the puck," RedHawk head coach Enrico Blasi said.
Not only did the power play unit tally two of the RedHawks' three goals, the play of RedHawk goaltender Jeff Zatkoff was flawless. Zatkoff stopped all 34 shots that he saw to tally his first shutout of the season.
"Zatkoff played really well tonight and saw the puck really well throughout," Blasi said.
The Falcons would end the night with another good effort, but not enough to put one in the win column.
"The biggest thing was that we couldn't get any pucks into the back of the net," said Falcon head coach Scott Paluch.
The first period started out rather sluggish as both teams had trouble setting their offenses and taking control of the puck. The Falcons would begin their attack early and midway through the period, they out shot the RedHawks 8-1. The RedHawks out shot the Falcons 45-30 the previous night and the Falcons were able to bring the pressure early during the second game.
"I think it was one of the best games we played," Paluch said. "We corrected a lot of things from last night."
As was the story last night, referee Steve Piotrowski called a clean first period with only one penalty being called on each of the teams. However, the penalty on the Falcons would be costly as the RedHawks tallied their first goal of the game.
The first goal came at 12:47 after a penalty to Falcon Rich Meloche. Zatkoff fed the puck to Ryan Jones who skated up with three Falcons around him. Jones would deke Spratt and slide the puck past the Falcon goaltender for the RedHawks first power play goal of the game.
"Tonight we did a better job of keeping the puck low," said RedHawk captain Ryan Jones.
The RedHawks would end the period with a one goal lead, but the Falcons were winning in the shots on goal column, out shooting the RedHawks 11-6.
The RedHawk power play would again tally a goal just four minutes into the second period. The goal came when defenseman Alec Martinez received a pass at the top of the slot and fired a wrist shot past Spratt to put the RedHawks ahead 2-0. Mitch Ganzak and Nathan Davis were credited with the assists. Martinez already has three goals on the season and along with his fellow defensemen has contributed nicely despite the loss of All-American Andy Greene.
"Alec has picked up his game and most nights all our [defensemen] have done that," said Blasi.
The Falcons continued their intense offensive pressure on Zatkoff throughout the period, but the RedHawk goaltender continued to block all the shots that he saw.
"He played really well and I thought he did a terrific job with his rebounds," Paluch said.
The RedHawks would tally one more goal before the end of the period on even strength. At 17:46, Davis picked up a rebound off a Michael Findorff wrist shot to give the RedHawks a commanding 3-0 lead. Jones would also be credited with the assist on the play.
The third period would end up being pretty uneventful as both teams went back and forth with the puck without tallying a goal. The RedHawks would tally the win with the 3-0 score and improve their conference record to 3-1-0. The penalty kill was able to kill every penalty they saw tonight allowing Zatkoff to get the shutout.
"It's nice and comforting for a goalie going on the penalty kill knowing that your team will kills the penalties," said Zatkoff.
As for the power play, Blasi added that his team is starting to feel more comfortable with the man advantage as the season rolls on.
"I just think our guys are starting to execute and feeling comfortable out there on the penalty kill," Blasi said.
The Falcons will be home next week against Lake Superior, while the RedHawks will continue their homestand with a series against CCHA foe Northern Michigan.

When you go to the movies or watch your favorite TV show at home, you don't expect to get ideas about home design. But people may find inspiration in what they see on the screen to choose architecture, furnishings and beautiful hardwood floors like those in Anderson's Casitablanca collection. Whether they aspire to have a home that's more opulent than their own or a comfortable, lived-in look, movies and TV shows can help them arrive at the design that's right for their family.
Those who design Hollywood movie sets are often trying to duplicate homes that people can see themselves living in. For instance, using desert-inspired hues and hardwood floors conjures the landscape of a favorite Western complete with rustic or country-style furnishings. At the opposite end of the spectrum, rich jewel colors from a dramatic scene in a film may lead homeowners to try those hues in their own homes.
Whatever the theme, movie homes often provide inspiration for people looking for a new room design. If they're planning to redecorate a bathroom, homeowners can add touches that turn their baths into home spas. Some quick fixes include the installation of new light fixtures and vanity hardware or creating a dressing area in an underused corner.
Inspiring TV Scenes
While many homeowners don't have the sprawling backyard of their favorite TV families, they can try to create a reasonable facsimile. Taking a cue from a television series can stir up some interesting choices for both interiors and outdoor spaces.
One set for the TV family drama "Parenthood" captures that appeal in a unique way. Patio dining takes place at a long wooden table with a mismatched collection of chairs and benches. The trees are hung with strings of white lights as all-year lighting in the small-screen version of a California backyard.
If people want the same effect in their own outdoor areas, they can drape lanterns or holiday lighting around the patio for an enchanting look that can be enjoyed late into the evening. Or, votive candles can be placed in glass jars filled with an inch of sand, then set down to line the periphery of the patio.
For people who live in colder regions, this decorative style can be brought indoors to a sunroom or casual living space with lots of windows that help bring the outdoors inside. A line of lights where the walls meet the ceiling has a dramatic effect that adds soft, indirect lighting in a room.

Bye weeks are pretty annoying for most fake footballers, but in a week like this with 12.5% of NFL teams on bye, my player-ranking task is 12.5% easier. With that said, I bid a fond farewell to bye weeks. In the words of the greased-up deaf guy, "See y'all next year." Here are my ranks for Week 11:
Fighting for p/o life w/all injured team PPR League & lost Ben. Need a QB from Kaepernick, Locker,Henne or Cutler if he plays.(Tried Foles last week but wat a disaster w/Eagles Lost by 4.8 pts. Now I have a mess with the rest. I have Rice and Mathews for RB.. But Need 2 WR & Flex. I have Julio, Mike Wms, Denario,and Blackmon (or would u drop him for Britt) so I'm hoping Julio Plays and have Denario as WR2 .. But flex is a choice of Felix, Sroles if he plays or Bryce Brown? Or one of the above leftover WR? I played my regular starters in week 1 and have been patching lineups since. Hernandez is my TE and got ONE game from him Grrrr!! thanx for ur advice as always Greg
14 Team PPR: Staff, Mega, Crabtree, Alexander, Britt, Garcon, Martin, Charles, Andre Brown, Beanie, Bennett, Chandler, Janikowski, SF D. Players only go on waivers when they are dropped, so it's slim pickens. I'm looking to drop Chandler (bye week fill in) for most likely a wr. Here is who's available: S Moss, LaFell, Stokley, Celek, Woodhead, Avery, Hawkins, Battle, Jacquizz, Starks……Any suggestions?
HELP Devastated w/Injuries . AHern Out (have 2 play Celek) and have Foles in
for Ben.. NOW I gotta figure out a PPR RB, WR and Flex (I'm starting
Ray Rice & Julio if he's a go??) but leaves me Mathews, Felix, Sproles…Mike
Williams and Titus. My other reserves are Andre Brown & Antonio Brown,Who I'm hoping to hold on to ..(WW
has Denario, Ivory and Ingram). BUT with all the Question marks on Julio and
Mathews Sproles..how would YOU set the lineup? Right now I have Rice and Felix
at RB as they're healthy after that I appreciate ANY input ..THANX!!
(also Ronnie Brown and Battle are there if they make a good fill in if
Mathews can't go)
Apologies for not getting to this before game time. You set your lineup the way I would have suggested, though — Felix Jones at RB2 and Mike Williams at WR2.
Would you trade TRich in return for S. Ridley plus any one (1) of these WRs: VJax, Colston or Amendola? If so, pls rank which WR to ask for.
Depends on who you would drop and what the rest of your team looks like. In a vacuum, it's a good deal for Ridley/Colston or Ridley/Jackson (I'd rank them in the order you listed them). I wouldn't do it for Amendola if those other wideouts are on the table.
14 Team PPR: Would you trade Decker for Charles? Here is my team, our trade deadline is today. Staff, Mega, Decker, Crabtree, Alexander, Britt, Martin, Ivory, A Brown, Beanie, Bennett, Chandler (bye week fill in, dropping him asap), Janikowski, SF D.
Hey, I'm a little desperate at my QB situation: Got Rivers and Locker stashed. I could get Freeman if I offer Lloyd … is it worth the trade?
Hey Greg, If Matthews cant go, Battle or Brown better play?
Or…should I forget Battle/Brown, move BJGE from Flex
to RB2, and use Ballard or T.Young in the Flex? Standard scoring. Thanks!
Should I consider trading my Forte for Mathews. It's in that keeper league I've asked you about before. Mathews would only be $11 next year where Forte is $33. I like the value in Mathews for next year but I don't want to hurt my team this year. I looked at the schedules and Mathews has a better one. Forte actually has what I think is a tough one. Should I do the deal?
My keepers right now are Cam $6, Julio $14, Percy $18, and Martin $20. Mathews at $11 would replace Percy.
sorry about posting the same question in mulitple articles, didnt realize that!
ROS: Gresham or Miller
standard PPR league:
ROS: D alexander or S Rice?
ROS: Andre Brown or Daniel Thomas?
yeah i tried the bryant route and llyod route he told me i was crazy guess im not so crazy! no other teams really can afford to trade any RB's…sigh ill just have to wait it out, thanks man
Team is 5-5 sitting on the cusp of the playoffs been hit a little hard at RB with injuries current team:
QB- Romo
WR – Fitz, Bryant, Cobb, Lloyd
RB – DMC, F-Jax, Jennings, Reece, Wells
TE – Miller
Matthews owner needs a WR and wants to trade him…he tried to pull cobb from me for matthews (LOL) but eventually settled on Fitz for Matthews…I can afford to trade fitz and his schedule is pretty brutal down the stretch run but I dont feel very confident in Matthews…pull the trigger?
forgot to mention full PPR league
Team is in 5th place at 6-4. Been hit by some injuries to McFadden and Antonio Brown. Team is as follows:
QB Romo
WR Cruz (Bye)
WR Wayne
WR Hilton
RB Spiller
RB Martin
TE Daniels
Flex LRH
B Brown
B McFadden
B K Hunter
B Mendenhall
Ive got a gaping hole at WR this week (the highest rated guy I see is Justin Blackmon) and wins are critical now. Ive been offered Andre Roberts for Mendenhall. Good move or wait out Mendy or see if I can get more?
Got offered Boldin for Mendy as well. Who's the better ROS play, Boldin or Roberts? Looks close based on your rankings.
With sproles back at practice do I start Vick Ballard over ivory? Last week was a pretty even split with brown. Or do I take ivory with the easier matchup. Also have quizz. Thanks
Got to thing Baltimore defense will go up in ranking with Big Ben out.
Start torrey or danario? also, Morris or Reece? non ppr
Tynes is on bye and currently leading our league in points at his position. Do I drop him for Janikowski or Tucker, or drop either Jermichael Finley or Donald Brown? I am good at RB, so Brown will never play for me and my other TE's are Keller and Olsen. Thanks!
Full PPR. Current starting RBs are JC and R. Bush. Worth trading A. Hernandez for A. Morris, if it means rolling with G. Olsen rest of the way?
Wow…Cobb #4? I love it, but what is it that you like so much about this matchup that makes him such a better play over Nelson?
Follow up to the keeper trade questions I asked you in the wire post. The owner made another offer of Rodgers and Graham for Cruz. Cruz is excellent value at $11 but I would still be able to keep Cam $6, Julio $14, Percy $18, and Martin $20. At TE I currently have Celek.
I feel this move would improve my team for this year without killing my keepers.
10 Team PPR: Thoughts on Brandon Marshal ROS, with Cutler out this week & already having a handful of concussion throughout his career, is Marshall worth a trade? Our trade deadline is the 23rd, here is my team: Luck, Eli, Marshall, Wayne, Cruz, Dez, Amendola, Rice, AP, DMC, Thomas, Beanie, Gates, Vernon, Hou.
Sorry about that!
ROS: NAte Washinton or Danario Alexander? 12 team nonPPR
Offered Charles and Roddy White for my AP…worth it? Thanks…have morris,spiller, dmc at rb

The E693Q mutation in the amyloid beta precursor protein (APP) leads to cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), with recurrent cerebral hemorrhagic strokes and dementia. In contrast to Alzheimer disease (AD), the brains of those affected by hereditary cerebral hemorrhage with amyloidosis-Dutch type (HCHWA-D) show few parenchymal amyloid plaques. We found that neuronal overexpression of human E693Q APP in mice (APPDutch mice) caused extensive CAA, smooth muscle cell degeneration, hemorrhages and neuroinflammation. In contrast, overexpression of human wild-type APP (APPwt mice) resulted in predominantly parenchymal amyloidosis, similar to that seen in AD. In APPDutch mice and HCHWA-D human brain, the ratio of the amyloid-beta40 peptide (Abeta40) to Abeta42 was significantly higher than that seen in APPwt mice or AD human brain. Genetically shifting the ratio of AbetaDutch40/AbetaDutch42 toward AbetaDutch42 by crossing APPDutch mice with transgenic mice producing mutated presenilin-1 redistributed the amyloid pathology from the vasculature to the parenchyma. The understanding that different Abeta species can drive amyloid pathology in different cerebral compartments has implications for current anti-amyloid therapeutic strategies. This HCHWA-D mouse model is the first to develop robust CAA in the absence of parenchymal amyloid, highlighting the key role of neuronally produced Abeta to vascular amyloid pathology and emphasizing the differing roles of Abeta40 and Abeta42 in vascular and parenchymal amyloid pathology.

DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Loperamide is a medication that is used for the relief of acute diarrhea and the management of chronic diarrhea in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis). The effectiveness of loperamide is comparable to another anti-diarrheal, diphenoxylate (Lomotil). Loperamide reduces diarrhea by slowing the forward propulsion of intestinal contents by the intestinal muscles. Although loperamide is related chemically to narcotics such as morphine, it does not have any of narcotics' pain- relieving effects even at high doses. Loperamide was approved by the FDA in 1976.

Last night, I went to see New York City-based comedy rock band The Pizza Underground at The Space in Hamden. Like probably many at the sold-out show, I was mostly there for the novelty of seeing Macaulay Culkin (yes, the Home Alone kid) perform pizza-themed parodies of Velvet Underground songs with fellow band members (they'd also have a show later that night at The Outer Space / The Ballroom across the parking lot.) According to the band's pizza box-hitting percussionist Deenah Vollmer, the band started as a joke in 2012 (not surprising.) As time went on, it wasn't a joke anymore (well, it wasn't just a joke, at least), and the band recorded a demo at Culkin's home last November (Bitter Melody Records released it on yellow, white and red cassettes in January.)
Since Culkin was portrayed as a typical pizza-loving kid in the Home Alone films, they uploaded a soon-to-be-viral video of him again eating a cheese pizza at age 33. How could you resist such a marvelously conceived band live, particularly when they provided free first-come-first-serve pizza? (For this show, the establishment lucky enough to provide pie was New Haven's BAR.)
The opening act was New York-based anti-folk musician Toby Goodshank, known for playing in indie bands such as The Moldy Peaches, Double Deuce and the Tri-Lambs (he's also released 14 solo albums in a five-year span.) Goodshank's acoustic set proved to be a really entertaining demonstration of his talent for intimate, clever songs, including a spot-on cover of "Big Deal" by The Dead Milkmen. I assumed that he was going to replace an act called The Burning Hell that I saw on my original ticket order, but sure enough, a few people (including a member of The Pizza Underground) joined Goodshank to become that band for a closing cover of the classic 1950s pop song "Lollipop."
If you've heard any of The Pizza Underground's music already, you pretty much know what to expect: Velvet Underground songs parodied to be about pizza ("Femme Fatale" becomes "Pizza Gal," Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side" is "Take a Bite of the Wild Slice," etc.) All of its members sing and play at least one instrument: in addition to Culkin on kazoo and percussion and Vollmer on pizza box percussion, there's Matt Colbourn on guitar, Phoebe Kreutz on glockenspiel and Austin Kilham on tambourine. Musically, I think they're competent enough for their silly songs laden with every pizza reference imaginable, from eating leftovers to going to Domino's, Papa John's, Little Caesars, etc.
It was all just one big cheesy, light-hearted experience complete with pizza jokes (one had to be told as someone raced to a dumpster for a "new" pizza box after Vollmer's one got worn out.) There was even a surprise appearance from "Kurt Cobain," who looked really similar to Goodshank playing an acoustic medley of Nirvana songs re-written in the past tense. I think the whole Pizza Underground set was about 40-50 minutes long: just enough time. They may not be quite as profound or influential as the real Velvet Underground, but they put on a fun show that I'm glad I got to experience.

As Max cruised down Gulf Boulevard through Madeira Beach and toward Treasure Island, he glanced down and noticed the odometer had, some miles ago, crossed the 99,000-mile barrier. He reached out and patted the dashboard of the old Mustang as if he were stroking a pony's mane.
Although exhausted from his encounter with Father Ralph, Max decided to keep another appointment he had made for that afternoon. He turned toward the beach and stopped at a lovely house with weathered shingles and a xeriscaped yard. Dr. Evelyn Hamilton lived here, a retired veterinarian.
Max had read in the Florida Sun that this kind woman had adopted Daisy, the Rottweiler who survived a fall from the Skyway Bridge. Daisy's former owner, quite deranged, had tossed her over on his own journey toward the big deep.
"Call me Evie," she insisted and extended her hand. She was a lovely woman with dark eyes and silver hair who had been chosen from among more than 100 suitors to take care of Daisy.
"You can always tell how a person will treat people by how they treat animals," she said. Daisy was doing fine, except for the slightest limp, the effects of neurological damage to one of her paws.
Max lowered himself to one knee, reached into a bag and took out a handful of gourmet doggie yummies. Daisy devoured these and nuzzled Max's hand for more. The next half hour was spent on the rug with generous amounts of ear rubbing, back scratching and slobbery kisses.
Evie told Max he could visit any time. He congratulated her on her fine work and said he'd like to write Daisy's story some day. He waved from his Mustang the top was down and drove happily down the beach until his thoughts turned to the young man who had ended his own life and wanted to take his dog with him.
What had she done for him but be a faithful companion even into the abyss? Did he think he needed her in the afterlife like some Egyptian pharaoh? Could he not stand the thought of someone else taking care of her? Maybe God watched over the sparrows and the Rottweilers, the lilies of the field and the Daisies. Maybe that cagey Father Ralph was getting to him.
Back on the road, Max heard an amusing story on National Public Radio. A man entered a betting emporium in London, where they'll lay odds on almost anything: "What are the chances my 5-year-old son will grow up to play for England in the World Cup?"
"A 100,000 to 1, minimum bet 100 pounds.
But one man wanted to bet 1,000 pounds that the world would end on Jan. 1, 2000.
"Sorry," explained the manager,we can't take a bet where we couldn't pay the winner."
The bettor looked puzzled. "If the world did end, how would we pay you?"
That bit of British honesty along with his visit to Daisy lifted Max's spirits, a feeling that intensified when he thought again of Angela Powers, a young girl so beautiful and strong, whose physical presence projected a sense of purity and purpose inconsistent with her attachment to Raoul Glaber and The Watchers.
As he made his final turn toward Land's End, his thoughts moved to Kate Banks. He needed to see her again to report on all he had learned about the Watchers and more urgently to test whether there was anything between them.
Max clicked the radio to a music station, only to hear Michael Bolton's overwrought version of "When a Man Loves a Woman." He took it as a bad sign. He changed stations and a true miracle occurred: It was Percy Sledge's original version of the same song.
Inspired, he pressed his foot on the accelerator and, in the three minutes it took to finish the song, he looked in his rearview mirror to see the lights of a police car. He pulled over and a tall, imposing officer with ebony skin approached the Mustang.
"I'm sorry if I was speeding, officer, I ..."
"Not to worry about that, Mr. Timlin. You are Max Timlin. Or have you just stolen his car?"
"No, I'm him. I mean he."
"Please, sir, could you follow me?"
More curious than fearful, Max followed the police car for about a mile, then turned down a side street in front of a tiny restaurant called Red Beans. The officer held the front door open without a smile and Max walked in, his eyes adjusting to the darkness. Finally, at an isolated corner table he saw a familiar figure.
"Max, my man, what the hell are you doin' muckin' around with The Watchers?"
The question was so direct and had such conviction behind it, it caught Max off guard. He decided on a counterattack.
"How the hell do you know that, Sam? You been followin' me?"
Sam was Samson Lockhart, one of the top cops in the state of Florida. Max had written a long profile of Lockhart, who had arrived in St. Pete from New Orleans, La., to become its first African-American chief of police.
Lockhart was the son and grandson of police officers, and had been credited with easing tensions between the police and the black community.
"We didn't have to follow you, little brother. We been watchin' the Watchers. Special investigative unit. We've got you on tape in Ybor City when those kids knocked over the Jesus guy, and we got you during the latest initiation ceremony."
Lockhart let out a big laugh. He was almost 6-foot-5, and the laugh echoed through the empty restaurant.
"Funniest thing I ever seen. You looked like a dope dressed in that biker stuff. But the lady you were with looked mighty fine. Who was that?"
"A woman named Sherry ... Max regretted it as soon as the name left his lips.
"Sherry Darling? So you workin' for the Florida Sun now?"
"Not exactly, I ..."
"How do you not exactly work for a newspaper? Do you hear that?" he turned to the other officer, "He doesn't exactly work for the Sun. Well, who the hell are you workin' with, then? I know you ain't datin' Sherry Darling because she's a bright and talented woman who wouldn't be seen dead with a burnt out old dog like you."
Max couldn't bring himself to laugh under this harangue though he wanted to. "Sam, I can't tell you any ..."
"Max, why don't you call me Chief Lockhart, just for today, just so I know you're payin' attention."
"Yes, sir, Chief Lockhart, sir."
"You still drivin' that old piece of junk? When you gonna get yourself a proper car?"
"What does this have to do with The Watchers?"
"Well if you're gonna catch Raoul Glaber and those pretty blond boys he hangs with, you're gonna need a car that goes more than 45 miles per hour and gets better than eight miles to the gallon."
"You know the kind of car Glaber drives?"
"We know what kind of toothpaste he uses, but we ain't gonna tell you unless you start tellin' us some things."
"I can tell you, Sam, I mean Chief Lockhart, that I'm working as a journalist. It's not some personal thing. But I can't tell you who hired me."
"You don't have to tell me. It's Miss Kate Banks, another fine woman who should know better than to have anything to do with the likes of you."
"What do you want from me?"
"Nothin' much. I just want you to go to the Conquistador Hotel, go into that lion's den, and interview Raoul Glaber, the Number 1 Big Daddy Watcher himself."

Projects and Programs: Aircraft and Airports
By asparks on Oct 01, 2008
On several occasions recently I have had to help customers come to terms with their project lifestyle choice and convince them of the values of program management.
In describing the difference between projects and programs I find it pays to use language the business folks readily understand. My favorite way is to use a metaphor.
Managing a project is like flying an aircraft. Managing a program is like running an airport.
Projects, like aircraft, come in all sizes: big and small. Depending on size you may have more (or less) people and technology onboard to help you with the flight. Unfortunately when you crash, the bigger you are the more people can get hurt (including you sometimes).
Programs are more like airports, with aircraft (projects) taking off and landing all the time. But you have a lot of supporting organization and infrastructure to look after as well.
I find the metaphor works very well to draw attention to the unifying purpose of programs as well as their open-ended nature. What do you think?
In any event it pays to remember this truism from the world of aviation: "When a flight is proceeding incredibly well, something was forgotten." For more wisdom consider these other flying truisms.
Of course to the purist PM's out there who might be offended by such a simple comparison, here are the formal PMI PMBOK definitions:
Project. A temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service or result.
Program. A group of related projects managed in a coordinated way to obtain benefits and control not available from managing them individually. Programs may include elements of related work outside of the scope of the discrete projects in the program.
Think about it when considering all of parallel initiatives you or your customer is trying to manage. Maybe is it is time to consider a program to get to grips with the project lifestyle.
I'm happy to take comments, as ever. Here or email me at email@example.com

Bruce Monighan Q&A
Designs Within Reach 2014
Thanks to some big thinkers and talented designers, our region's architectural profile is poised to rise in the next few years, both literally and figuratively. Here's a preview of some of our faves.
Glass Act
"Obviously, to begin our life with our innovation lab at the same time we're working with Google's innovation lab—which is by far one of the premier innovation labs in the country—was really exciting," McGrann says. "What we learned was that we had a lot to bring to the table."
Catalyst for Change
The recent design competition to reinvigorate Capitol Mall is a big step in the right direction. But now that the ideas are on the table, let's make sure we're viewing the situation from the right vantage point (preferably a high one).
A Competitive Spirit
A novel concept behind the new arena campaign (public input) and a strategy for a revamped Capitol Mall (a design competition) are steps in the right direction toward great civic design. But they're just a start.

Update 1/22/14: Max has a terrible skin condition. He has been groomed and treated with a medicated bath. The veterinarian tried steroids, but Max did not tolerate them well. He is on antibiotics and pathology results on the lesions are pending.
On Friday, a senior Shih Tzu was given his freedom ride from the Los Angeles County Animal Care and Control facility in Lancaster, Calif.
The dog, 13-year-old "Max," had been surrendered to the facility last week and after his photo was captured upon intake, frantic networking began.
Cheryl Poindexter, Max's rescuer, updated her Facebook followers about Max after he was pulled from the shelter:
He was scared to death. They had him in ISO. I walked into the Lancaster shelter and they already had the paperwork ready for me. One of the most pleasant pulls I have ever made.
He has a skin condition or some sort of allergy but the sores seem to be healing. Lancaster shelter did a great job treating him with medicated baths. I am having him being checked out at the vet and will know more tomorrow. He was absolutely starved watching me eat my Subway tuna so I bought him a hamburger.
We did a VERY good thing. This little dog is VERY special. Thank you Alicia for finding Linda Muggli to foster. Thank you Linda for giving him a place to land. Thank you PJ for letting me pull him. Thank you Cheryl Meyer and New Beginnings in case everything fell through.

In operating rooms across the country, anesthesiologists, the highest-paid workers in the U.S., earn an average of $111.94 an hour, for a mean annual salary of $232,830, according to the BLS. That's about the same as they made last year — but anesthesiologists, like others in medical work, can pay well into six figures a year in medical malpractice premiums.
The BLS survey reflects May 2012 salary and employment data gathered from more than one million businesses. Nine of the nation's 10 highest-paying occupations are in the medical field, including surgeons, internists, orthodontists, and general practitioners.
[More from Forbes: Billionaire CEOs With The Biggest Paychecks]
Doctors' salaries are so high not only because of supply and demand but also to offset the amounts they have to invest in education and malpractice insurance. The 29,930 anesthesiologists in the U.S. also work long shifts and play an integral role in keeping patients alive during surgery to earn their sizable salaries. According to the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), the high pay reflects the responsibility and risk involved in their job.
The ASA defines anesthesiology as the practice of medicine dedicated to the relief of pain and total care of the surgical patient before, during and after surgery. In the operating room anesthesiologists are responsible for monitoring and controlling the patient's heart rate and rhythm, breathing, blood pressure, body temperature and body fluid balance, as well as the patient's pain and level of unconsciousness.
Like other physicians, anesthesiologists accumulate hefty tuition bills as they're required to complete a four-year undergraduate program, followed by four years of medical school, a one year internship and at least three years of a residency. They may further specialize in a subspecialty by completing one to two more years in a training program.
The ASA says that the number of anesthesiologists has more than doubled since the 1970s, while patient outcomes have improved significantly. Fifty years ago, deaths attributed to anesthesia were approximately 1 in 1,500. Today, the chance of a healthy patient suffering an intraoperative death attributable to anesthesia is less than 1 in 200,000.
"Anesthesiologists are highly satisfied with their important work in and outside of the operating room," says an ASA spokesperson. "It is very rewarding for anesthesiologists to be able to bring patients in and out of surgery safely. They also find it rewarding to be able to care for patients throughout the entire surgical process. Anesthesiologists never leave patients' side and are their lifeline before, during and after surgery."
The second highest-paying job in America: general surgeon. These 42,410 high-earning medical professionals bring in $110.84 an hour, for an average annual salary of $230,540.
No. 3 is obstetricians and gynecologists. There are 20,880 of these professionals in the U.S. right now, and they make 104.21 an hour, on average—making their total annual income about $216,760.
Chief executives, the only non-doctors who crack the list of top-15 earners, earn an average of $176,840 per year. That figure pales in comparison with what some execs at very big companies take home. In 2012 the highest paid chief executive in the U.S, McKesson's John Hammergren, earned $131 million. The second-highest paid CEO, Ralph Lauren, took home $67 million in salary, bonus and stock. Chief executives hold the No. 10 spot for America's highest earners.
At the other end of the wage spectrum, employees in the food service industry dominate. Six of the 10 lowest-paying jobs are food preparation and serving related occupations, while three are personal care and service occupations. The only low-paying job that isn't in either of those two areas is farmworkers and laborers (No. 8).
The lowest-paid workers of all, shampooers, earn $8.94 an hour--or an average annual salary of $18,600 (for full-time workers). More than 13,500 people in the U.S. hold this position.
Another 2.94 million workers are in food preparation and serving jobs, the second worst-paying occupation. They earn just $9 an hour, or $18,720 a year for full-time workers.
Fast food cooks and dishwashers trail close behind, making a meager $9.03 and $9.10 an hour, respectively.Full-time workers in the positions earn $18,780 and $18,930 a year, on average.
The gap between America's highest- and lowest-paying jobs widens if you include perks and benefits. Health insurance, for example, often represents a third of an employee's salary and isn't offered for many low-paying jobs. The good news, however, is that workers across the U.S. made slightly more in 2012 than the previous year. The mean salary for all workers rose from $45,230 in 2011 to $45,790 last year.
