They're all gone. All the remaining unbeaten Division 1 college basketball teams. Arizona lost to Oregon, then Duke lost to North Carolina State and then Michigan was knocked off by Ohio State. All three teams lost on the road against other Top 25 caliber teams. So this wasn't a stop-the-presses event.
And now we are approaching mid-January, as the conference races are about to go into the fully operative mode and do we have any idea about the best team in college basketball?
No, we don't. Best teams perhaps.
How long will Louisville, which moved into the top spot in the Associated Press writer's poll on Monday afternoon remain? Well at least a week in reality since the next poll won't come out until next Monday but what if coach Rick Pitino's team loses in Hartford to Connecticut on Monday night?
In these days of parity, the idea of an unbeaten team in a long and strenuous regular season is not a realistic goal for even the most elite programs. In the past several years, the last unbeaten team disappeared by late January or early February. This season, however, was the earliest date for the last unbeaten to disappear since 2006-2007, when UCLA was the last team to lose a game on January 6th.
A quick look at the mid-term status revealed some surprises, some what-else-is-new trends. We'll look at the conferences in 3 segments.
Here's the first glance
1. America East–Pre-season contenders: Vermont, Stony Brook, Albany
Mid-season status: Vermont, Stony Brook and Albany are all at the top of the pack.
2. ACC–Pre-season contenders: NC State, Duke, North Carolina
Mid-season status: NC State and Duke are right there. Miami, which was regarded as the fourth choice, is right in the mix. North Carolina is having some consistency issues.
3. Atlantic Sun–Pre-season contenders: UC Upstate, Mercer and Florida Gulf Coast were the top picks.
Mid-season status: Florida Gulf Coast and Mercer were above .500. USC Upstate is a game below .500.
4. Atlantic 10–Pre-season contenders:Saint Louis, VCU and Saint Joseph's.
Mid-season status: Butler, Charlotte and VCU were the leaders. Saint Joseph's is 9-5, which isn't horrible, but maybe a shade below what was expected of the Hawks.
5. Big East–Pre-season contenders: Louisville, Syracuse and Notre Dame were the picks.
Mid-season status: Syracuse and Louisville are right there. Notre Dame (14-2) is a game off the pace. Marquette (5th in pre-season) is very much in the mix.
6. Big Sky–Pre-season contenders: Montana, Weber State and Northern Colorado were the choices.
Mid-season status: Montana and Weber State are right there. Northern Colorado (3-11) has been a wash out.
7. Big South–Pre-season contenders–High Point and Charleston Southern were the leaders.
Mid-season status: Both schools were off to quick starts (3-0) in their division races. Campbell (3-0) was another contender.
8. Big Ten–Pre-season contenders: Indiana, Michigan and Michigan State were the picks. Indiana and Michigan have been consistently on top all season. Michigan State is just off the pace. Minnesota (15-2) has been a bit of a surprise
9. Big 12–Pre-season contenders: Kansas, Baylor and Texas were the ones.
Mid-season status: Baylor and Kansas have held up their end. Texas (8-8, 0-3) has been a disappointment.
10. Big West–Pre-season contenders: Long Beach State, Cal State-Fullerton and Pacific were the choices.
Mid-season status: All three schools are in place at the top.

Apple and Google have agreed to a truce in the ongoing patent wars. All lawsuits have been dropped between the two companies. According to the Wall Street Journal on May 17, 2014, Google's Motorola unit sued Apple in 2010. Apple fired back by countersuing.
The suits trace back to before Motorola Mobility was acquired by Google in 2012. When Google bought the company, the suits followed. Google has since sold the devices unit to Lenovo and kept the patents for themselves. Before the truce was declared on Friday the two companies were fighting 20 lawsuits.
According to CNET on May 17, 2014, the two companies have dismissed all patent infringement lawsuits. Now the promise to work together more closely. This sounds just like old times when in years past the two rivals often worked together. Both compete for both talent and acquisition targets.
They will both work on patent reform, but their will be no sharing of licenses or patents at this time according to a joint statement issued by the companies.
Apple's high-profile lawsuit with Samsung continues on in the courts, unaffected by this decision.
Lately both Google and Apple have been the target of so-called patent trolls. A patent troll holds patents with the hope the a major company will some day infringe upon them. Once this happens, a lawsuit often ensues. In 2013 alone, both Apple and Google were named in nearly 100 lawsuits of this nature combined.
Apple and Google each own the two dominant mobile technology platforms today. Apple with it's iOS paired with iPhones and iPads vs. Google with Android, which works with a variety of manufacturers handsets.
Apple makes two-thirds of its sales from iPhones and iPads alone. Google's Android has surpassed iOS as the dominant mobile operating system. The future of mobile is truly at stake here.
What do you think about the Apple and Google story? Please drop in your comments below.

The nominations for the 2013 Oscars was recently released but there's a glaring omission. That would be 'Prisoners' a powerful and disturbing drama that didn't get its just due.
A disturbing, unsettling roller-coaster ride; 'Prisoners' tells the story of two middle class families; the Dovers and the Birches, whose lives are shattered when both of their young daughters go missing.
Keller Dover (Hugh Jackman) is a survivalist with a short fuse, and his daughter's disappearance sends him over the edge, accusing mentally challenged young man Alex Jones (Paul Dano), who owned a RV near where the girls vanished.
Detective David Loki (Jake Gyllenhaal) is heading up the investigation, and forced to release Jones when there isn't any conclusive evidence that he had direct involvement with the missing girls.
But Dover takes the law into his own hands, abducting and torturing Jones for information. But Jones is a blank slate, only offering faint clues. Is he hiding something? And why won't he talk?
It is this dilemma that fuels the movie, but it's only scratching the surface. 'Prisoners' is a constantly turning, labyrinthine maze of a plot (mazes being a particular story element). Nothing is as it seems, and as the search for the children continues, the maddening pace and dark foreboding cinematography (by the always stellar Roger A. Deakins) are as torturous to the audience as to the characters, with an unrelenting assault on the psyche.
'Prisoners' was directed by Canadian director Denis Villeneuve, who has a masterful sense of pacing, making his dark, disturbing thriller share the same headspace of psychological horror movies like 'Zodiac' and claustrophobic thriller 'The Vanishing.'
But 'Prisoners' is also social commentary; cutting to the heart of 21st century America, with a struggling middle class at their wits end, and a continuing dialogue over the use of torture to gain information. It may take place in the withering suburbs, but Keller's inhumane treatment of Jones is clearly a meditation on the C.I.A.'s controversial enhanced interrogation techniques.
'Prisoners' isn't preachy; it puts you in Keller's headspace; if you're wracked with grief, and a never ending panic about the safety of your missing child, rationality takes a second seat to a desperate need for answers, for action, and the agony of law enforcement bureaucracy's seemingly indifferent pace.
Jackman gives the best performance of his career, anguished, loathsome, yet sympathetic. Terrence Howard and Viola Davis are deeply affecting as the Birch parents, conflicted to Keller's actions, sacrificing the law for answers. And Gyllenhaal is equally impressive, as a man who wants to find these children desperately, his own self-worth driving him towards a anguished need for answers.
The twist and turns of 'Prisoners' make this an harrowing, whit knuckle ride, but one you can't look away from. And while the plot can sometimes suffer from too many red herrings and convenient reveals, it heads to a place you never fully see coming.
The ending will haunt you, and the images will stay with you. It's an unpleasant reminder of the dark undercurrent of cruelty that has always existed in society, but feels more pronounced than ever.

Hayden Panettiere is obviously pregnant. The show "Nashville" has already been talking about writing it into the show. She has also been out on the beach flaunting her baby bump, but she hasn't been talking about it or admitting the baby is on the way. On Thursday, New York Daily News shared that she finally admitted that a baby is on the way, but it was in a different way than you would expect.
She took part in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. When she was done getting cold water dumped on her head, Hayden said that she has nominated her fiance and her unborn child. She also nominated Kasey Musgraves since she hasn't done it yet. Hopefully she will go through with it now. She yelled out "Holy shoot, yep that's cold" after getting hit with the water.
Even though it has been obvious Hayden was pregnant for a while now this is the first time she has admitted to it. Yes she does have a baby in her belly, but so far she hasn't shared if it is a boy or a girl. Hayden isn't even telling anyone how far along she is yet. When she did this challenge, she probably thought it would just be a cute way to share the news with her fans.
Just yesterday Taste of Country shared the news that her character will be pregnant on "Nashville" too. They are going to put it into the story line wish could be really interesting. Juliette Barnes will be having a baby but at this time nobody knows who will be the father. That will have to wait to see the show and it should be a lot of drama. The last thing fans saw was she had cheated on Avery with Jeff so it could be either one that is the father. It will make for a great season of the show.

Students at Fort Walton Beach High School aren't lining up to buy yearbooks like years past.
That's because administrators were forced to delay sales.
Principal Charlene Couvillon says a senior prank is to blame.
"Our AP Stats teachers sent me an e-mail saying there's no way this could be a random act. I thought 'what is she talking about'. She said look at the book. There, sure enough, was the inappropriate caption."
Sprawled across two pages, a combination of red letters spelled out the "F word".
Couvillon immediately halted yearbook sales and launched an investigation.
She says the senior yearbook editor admitted the prank was her idea.
"If someone had asked me to write a list of all the students who could possibly have done this, where would she be? She would be at the bottom of the bottom quartile. I was devastated," Couvillon says.
The girl's parents paid the yearbook company to print stickers with new captions, to cover the obscenity.
As part of her punishment, the student had to apply those stickers to the remaining yearbooks.
The yearbook staff is known for creating award-winning yearbooks. Administrators say despite the 4 letter slip up the yearbook is still outstanding."
"To have four little letters that take up less than an inch have such an impact is devastating to all of us. The book is phenomenal and the students have worked terribly hard on it," says Yearbook Advisor Susan Teare.
Despite the student's efforts to fix the prank, Teare says the damage is already done.
"I've always told the students that this book is a history of the school and it will be on shelves forever."
Couvillon says the student will be able to walk in her class's graduation ceremony, but is still facing more disciplinary action.

I first started listening to recordings of the music of John Luther Adams when everyone else was getting on the bandwagon of "the other John Adams." I think my first vinyl purchase was of songbirdsongs. I suppose one of the things that struck me the most that, while through John Cage, I had come to appreciate a musical rhetoric of silence, John Luther Adams seemed to have cultivated an entirely different rhetoric of stillness. In my mind I imagined that living in Alaska had taught him how to be alone with nature and that he was using music to convey what he had learned to the rest of us.
One of the problems with the media business these days, however, is that remoteness no longer seems to endure. Sooner or later, you get "discovered" by some "big city," usually on one coast or the other. Furthermore, if that city is not New York, then New York will eventually learn to embrace you. Then you are no longer "officially" remote; and everyone waxes enthusiastically over your achievements as if the process of discovery is more important than what has been discovered.
I suppose I started to feel skeptical about John Luther Adams after "Inuksuit" took the Armory building in Manhattan by storm. That, in turn, led me to think back on some of his past efforts wondering whether or not they were suffering because "the right people" were making too much of them. This may be why I found myself feeling more skeptical than absorbed when I encountered the Cantaloupe recording of The Mathematics of Resonant Bodies.
To be fair I was probably drawn to this collection of eight pieces for solo percussion and processed sounds by its title more than anything else. Also, because Steven Schick, the percussionist on this recording, is now Artistic Director of the San Francisco Contemporary Music Players, I figured I might learn more about him by learning more about his repertoire. However, this turned out to be one of those occasions when I came away from the recording disappointed, although still curious as to what an actual performance might be like.
Basically, this is a set of eight études for a percussionist provided with a diverse assortment of instruments, each of which produces sounds by different means. The titles of the études, however, have more to do with phenomenology than with the mathematical abstraction of principles of physics. Since those titles appear only in lower-case on the album, I shall enumerate them with the same typography: burst, rumble, shimmer, roar, thunder, wail, crash, stutter. In each case it does not take much effort from the listener to justify the title on the basis of what one hears.
The problem, however, is that such justification seems to be all there is to the listening experience. Unfortunately, each movement takes more than seven minutes of duration; and, for me, that raises a critical question of listening:
What do you do after you "get it?"
Each étude basically holds a magnifying glass up to a single sonority. However, the magnifying glass then just pans over its expanse without giving much attention to whether there is some journey from beginning to end that unfolds over that course of than pan. Indeed, to continue that camera metaphor, it is all panning without ever zooming, either in or out.
Furthermore, none of this really has much to do with resonance. Rather, it is a study of timbre that, in many respects, constitutes a reflection of Pierre Schaeffer's efforts to develop a "music theory" of "sonorous objects" in conjunction with his pioneering work in musique concrète. (My own opinion, by the way, is that Schaeffer achieved far more through his practices than he did with his 650-page treatise of theory.)
All of this leads me to suspect that I am likely to spend more of my time with recordings listening to the old New Albion CD of John Luther Adams' music entitled The Far Country than I am with The Mathematics of Resonant Bodies; but, given the opportunity to listen to the latter in performance, I shall probably leap for it.

So last night's room at the National Arts Club on Gramercy Park was jammed with members of the New York chapter of Mystery Writers of America–all salivating to hear from best-selling author James Patterson. (And yes that is me standing next to him. Note he has his fingers around my neck–we were discussing the psychology of golf. Photo courtesy of Ang Pompano, introduction courtesy of Chris Grabenstein!)
Patterson talked about his long career, noting that one gift he possesses is the power of imagination. (Something Hollywood and the publishing industry could use, he added.) "Whatever you may think of my books," he said, "I'm very involved with all of them and doing the best I can."
In advertising, the movies, and television, work is done with teams of writers. Why shouldn't this be true with novels too, he wondered. He knows his strengths lie in generating ideas and spinning stories. He's okay at writing but doesn't love to do it. So if he has a cowriter who is a good stylist, they end up with a good story and good style.
So how does the co-writing work? He generates the basic idea and a detailed chapter by chapter outline. Then he asks his co-writer to contribute to the outline and begin writing. He looks at the progress of each book about every two weeks and they discuss anything that he thinks is going off track. Why wait until the end of the draft (as most often happens with traditional publishing) to address problems? The co-writer gets a big check and Patterson himself writes any subsequent drafts.
So where do you sign up? That's the bad news–right now there are no openings. Hmmm, wonder if I could work my way into his golf foursome?

Books about Raising Boys
|Related Pages
Any good recommendations for books about raising boys? My sister has 2 boys, and is having a hard time understanding ''boy'' nature, as we grew up in a girls-only family. I looked in Amazon, but the list is huge. Has anyone come across a book that you really liked, with good insights on boy psychology and practical advice? Thanks! Boy's auntie
Anyway this is what I've found useful: 'Raising Cain' and 'Real Boys' and for the sibling issues--'Siblings without Rivalry'.
The general ideas are that there is a boy code; there are gender straight jackets; schools tend not to address the emotional life of boys. Good luck dad to boys
I check them out of the library each year about 3 months or so before the kids' birthdays. She does address more typical boy versus girl behaviors and one really good thing about her books is she recognizes that there are a range of temperaments. (I just attended a talk by a some family therapists and when asked about some particular parenting technique books, their issue was that often these books only really work with certain temperaments or developmental phases.) They are a quick read, well written and give you a good understanding of each developmental phase and what certain behaviors that we might not understand are about . Some of their examples may be a bit dated and not totally PC, but I have found year after year they have really hit the mark on what my children are going through. mama of an boyish boy
Hi! I'm looking for some resources about parenting a boy. I'm really starting to notice some differences between my 14 month- old son and other children his age (particularly girls). I'd like to do some reading on male child development. Any suggestions? Thanks! Viki
(from Amazon.com: From Publishers Weekly Australian family therapist Biddulph (Manhood) joins the chorus of counselors calling for a focused, supportive approach to parenting boys. Citing such gender specific risks facing boys as a higher percentage of learning disabilities to greater threats of violence and suicide, Biddulph maps out parenting strategies for three distinct stages of growth, from birth to six years, from six to 14, and from 14 to adult. Choosing not to mince words, he advises fathers, for instance, ''if you routinely work a fifty-five or sixty-hour week, including travel time, you just won't cut it as a dad.'' Citing studies that show boys are ''more prone than girls to separation anxiety,'' he suggests keeping boys out of child care if possible before the age of three. He recommends delaying school entrance by a year to give boys time to develop fine motor skills, and calls sports a ''double-edged sword'' which, while enormously beneficial, can also encourage negative traits if sportsmanship is eclipsed by an obsession with winning. Biddulph delves into physiological matters, examining and explaining the role testosterone plays in shaping male children, and talking frankly about sexuality. Enhanced by plentiful sidebars, photos and cartoons, the material is presented in digestible chunks, and each chapter wraps up with a summary section, ''In a Nutshell.'' This highly practical guide offers valuable perspectives to parents of both boys and girls. Copyright 1998 Cahners Business Information, Inc.)Kat

The Actors Project NYC's (TAPNYC) Industry night is a true favorite of its members because that's when both the industry and the actors get a chance to meet each other in a relaxed atmosphere. It follows one of the company's season showcases (in this case Season 29) and it's for all the actors who performed and the industry that watched them.
The founder of TAPNYC is Bobby Holder, who created it 10 years ago after he'd also taken the acting journey. While he enjoyed acting he decided to follow his idea of creating a company that would help upcoming actors meet industry and land representation.
Now, the proof is in the pudding with 75% of his actors, both new and veteran, working with agents. In fact, agents, managers and casting directors were all networking at this year's Industry Night and sharing their thoughts. What they seemed to appreciate the most was that this group gives actors the nuts and bolts needed to begin their career in the world of acting.
In fact, TAPNYC has a very committed program of providing workshops to outline the basics which includes having a good headshot and resume. They also talk about the business side of acting including the importance of networking and marketing yourself on many levels. This is combined with a series of troupe meetings where you perform a monologue in front of your peers and are critiqued on your performance and given ideas on new things you can try and ways to enhance your monologue.
Finally, you get to audition to be cast in a showcase which includes attending a dress rehearsal and tech rehearsal before performing to an audience of family, friends and, most of all, industry. Then if you meet the criteria you are invited to Industry Night. A lot of industry attended this year's event and gave high marks to the way Bobby Holder, his associate Ann Bonner and company manager Renee Iovine run this company.
Industry agree that TAPNYC offers them what they need for their rosters
Albert Bramante, a talent agent from Emerging Talent (www.emergingtalentllc.com) works with a number of TAPNYC actors and consistently comes to all of their events.
"I thought there was a lot of great talent this season. I could definitely tell that they pushed the envelope," he commented. Like many of the others, Albert has a roster of talent types and some of those spots need to be filled. And so those are the actors he's looking for, but it goes beyond that.
"I want to see actors who are not afraid to take risks," he commented. By coming to the showcases it gives him a chance to see how the actors work, especially those who appear in sketches with other actors.
"I watch their presence onstage and how they are connected with each other. That's what inspires me to bring them into my office."
If Albert calls them in for an interview then the true test begins. "It all depends on my needs at the time, what their goals are, what their career plan is, what they are doing now and how we personally connect." If they pass that test then he begins a freelance relationship with these actors and the rest is up to them.
Albert pretty much casts for everything but Nicole Astell a talent manager from Prestige Management Group, has her own approach. "I look for both talent and looks," she explained. And like Albert she wants to see how actors interact with each other in sketches.
If she likes the way they interact, "then it is all about personality and how well we get along, I need someone I can work with professionally, yet still banter with."
That seemed to be a common theme that it's not just about the talent but also the comfort level of the agents with the talent and vice versa.
Lorna Rainey from Talent Express (www.thetalentexpress.com) in Astoria has a wide range of people on her roster and she approaches it differently than some of the others. "I am not looking for any particular type but rather actors who really milk everything they can out of their role and are very entertaining. I look for people who are engaging. Those are the ones who encourage me to be involved with them."
Like Nicole, Lorna emphasized the importance of being comfortable with the actors she works with. "When I like you I am going to do my best for you. It's the same for all of us. This is a human and personal business. Although it is about business at the end of the day, it's about people. On my roster I don't have numbers or objects. My roster consists of real people with dreams and ambition. How I present them and sell them is what creates good business."
Like Albert, Lorna also feels that TAPNYC offers its actors more than just the ability to perform onstage. "I have found some of the most well rounded, well prepared, savvy, dedicated performers at TAPNYC. Bobby does a splendid job of selecting the right people and the right material and then he coaches them on how to bring the best out of that material."
Lorna has watched TAPNYC grow. She's been coming to the productions for the past six years and recalls that in the beginning not that many industry came to his shows but clearly that has changed.
"I am amazed at how Bobby, over the years, has continually built up TAPNYC to be one of the go to talent resources among well respected agents, casting directors and managers. The reputation has spread and been so overwhelmingly positive that the shows are always very well attended with lots of industry present," she Barry Kolker, a talent agent from Carson-Kolker Agency commented, "I had so much fun watching Bobby Holder's Dramatically Comical showcase. It's very kind of Bobby to give so many performers a chance to showcase their work for the industry, and family and friends. You could tell that Bobby puts 150% into his shows with the professionalism, organization.....plus the humor.''
Alison Franck, a casting director from Liz Lewis Casting, took a slightly different approach then the others simply because of what she does. What she likes about TAPNYC actors is that the program gives her what she needs. "They give me a blueprint of what this person wants to put out there. It is an essence of what they are; a snapshot of their personality."
Alison feels that how TAPNYC approaches their showcases, sketches and contests "is done in such a way that the actors feel more like themselves and they seem to love what they do, which isn't always the case at the events I go to.
"I love that the actors are so happy with themselves. They want you to come and they are excited about it. That is what this program is made for, to make them feel good about themselves, to feel empowered with an inner strength. I want to go to the showcases because the actors want to be there and they want me to be there."
Alison also noted like some of the others that there is more to being a successful actor then just acting and this program helps smooth out all those edges. "They also learn how to market themselves. They get to understand what the business is about. They are coming to us prepared."
Alison then focused a bit on how building a relationship can help get you work. "The main thing for me as a casting director is if we've met and you see something online and you really want to be seen for it, remind me how I've met you and how I've seen you and if you fit the part then you'll get a chance to audition."
That said, Alison is definitely unique in that she doesn't mind having people she has met email her and it was surprising to hear her say that there are lots of people who never reach out. "I can only keep track of people who want to be found," she added. "If you see something you are right for email me. It is almost less invasive and more personal at the same time. I will definitely read it and it won't bother me. And don't forget to remind me who you are," she concluded.
A host of actors came out to meet those industry mentioned above and others. In addition to those mentioned above Peggy Becker, a talent manager from Parkside Talent and Marius Bargielski, a talent agent from Metropolis Artists, were also chatting with the actors.
The actors are truly happy and are not afraid to say so!
And just as Alison expressed, it was clear that the actors were truly excited to get the chance to chat with industry up close and personal and also to talk about what this journey has meant to them.
Among the alumni was Melanie Garcia who comes all the way from Staten Island for troupe meetings and special events. This is Melanie's fourth season and like so many of the others she's focused.
Melanie explained that the way the program is run encourages her to work hard. Not only does TAPNYC offer its troupe meetings program but also has annual Monologue and Scene & Sketch Challenges.
Melanie is one of the people who takes advantage of every opportunity offered by TAPNYC. She's appeared in four showcases, competed in both the Challenges mentioned above and also comes to all the social functions to network with her fellow actors and get a chance to meet industry.
"I try and do everything I can," she remarked. "Being a part of this ensemble exposes me to a lot of things and I take advantage all the time of everything I can."
Kamaria Williams is a fellow actor who hails from Washington Heights, NY. This is Karmaria's first season. When asked what she took away from the experience she remarked, "I learned the importance of practicing and what is an ensemble."
Kamaria also auditioned and made it into Troupe 10, which is the Scene & Sketch troupe that performed in all the Season 29 showcases.
"Being a part of Troupe 10 I learned what it's like to collaborate every day to create something fun and exciting without being arrogant," she explained.
"I also learned to listen and take in what the person says. You have to listen and talk to each other. It's also about bonding – that chemistry offstage helped us onstage and I gained friends.
"Performing off of the audience with my cast members was the most special to me. The audience reacting makes all the hard work come together and it's all about a team effort."
Beth Miller, from Bridgewood, NY, has performed for four seasons and could say only positive things about the experience.
"It's a great opportunity and taught me how to put myself out there." Beth also recalled how she updated her headshot and resume based on what she learned in the workshops.
Overall she feels prepared for when she does go out on an audition and the fact that she has to perform in front of her peers and had to audition in order to get into a showcase inspired her to work harder.
"Knowing that I have to go in front of someone each week makes me practice much more and makes me be better," explained Beth. "My favorite was that I got to try a lot of things with my monologue. It was never the same week to week. I liked being able to experiment."
One of the things she also learned through the process was how in a monologue you need to get connected to someone based on the situation. Even though they are invisible to the audience, to the actor they must be real.
"I learned a lot about connection and the people I was talking to. It helped me to focus," she concluded.
Samantha Baptiste hails from Elmont, LI and she has a web site at backstage.com/samanthbaptiste. She's one of the newbies since this is her first season.
Although you wouldn't know it from her performance, Samantha admitted to being both shy and reserved. "I learned how to put myself out there and network with actors, agents and managers," she explained. "I never thought it would be possible doing it on my own but I've learned I can communicate with other people who are after the same thing. I never thought I would get to meet all these actors and industry."
Samantha also went on to say that she learned about how being critiqued can help you. "I learned to accept the feedback, both positive and negative, and not take that as meaning I was a bad actor but rather perfecting my craft."
She chose as her best piece of advice how important it is to "be original which to me means to not to be scared to try to take my acting to the next level. Be unafraid and be innovative with the piece that I have."
Samantha concluded our conversation noting that a year ago she would have never imagined where she'd be now. "I never thought I would be in the situation where I would be networking with actors, agents and managers. That alone is a dream come true. Last year it was something I wanted to pursue but now I am on the road to doing it. I'm just excited to be here."
Ben Brunnschweiler, who lives in NYC, is another fourth season actor who was also selected to be in Troupe 10 and like the other troupe 10 actors he feels it's allowed him to expand as an actor.
"It has given me the opportunity to free myself up. We worked for two months with the same actors. The experience of being with them on a daily basis was amazing. Here you were with the same people day in and day out working on the same material. It became a support system that encouraged you to try something different. If it works it works, if it doesn't they will let you know."
Ben then compared that to having to perform a monologue where you are alone and left on your own to figure out the direction. "You don't have the other people to work off of that are giving you ideas. You have to depend on yourself, whereas in the troupe you have your fellow actors saying go for it we are right there with you so give it a shot."
Like so many others, Ben feels he's gained so much from the experience. "It has given me a community. I have the opportunity to sit in a room with other actors and I have been able to meet agents and managers that have indicated they want to work and freelance with me to further my career.
Season 29 is another TAPNYC home run
All in all the sentiment was that Season 29 was a home run and for founder Bobby Holder it was rewarding.
"Season 29 was one of our most exciting at The Actor's Project NYC! We produced five Off Broadway shows that were attended by agents, managers, casting directors, and hundreds of TAPNYC supporters," he remarked.
"What warmed my heart the most was this season we had a lot of alumni in the audience, success stories that had returned to watch the shows and many who returned to help out with ushering, concessions, etc. I think a lot of the new actors are surprised to know that we have so many represented actors helping out with their shows."
In fact, those of us who performed in Season 29 witnessed all those alumni helping people into their seats, setting up and refreshing the stage throughout the evening and doing whatever it took to make this season another success story.
After each showcase there's always a cast party, which gives the actors a chance to relax and get to know each other. Bobby is always encouraging the new actors to not hesitate to ask help from the alumni.
"The cast parties are always fun when I introduce a successful alumni to a new actor," Bobby commented. "One example is that many cast members at the closing cast party recognized Darlene Dues from 'Orange is the New Black' (Season 2 Episode 1, Darlene played Joyce). Darlene was a TAPNYC star taking pics with everyone. It really made me feel pure joy, like all our hard work means something to a lot of actors."
Darlene is only one of many who have successfully been able to enjoy their love of acting. If Bobby added up every success story over the 10 years (from Broadway/Off Broadway to Film /TV /Commercials and Print) that number would be in the hundreds.
"I see one common theme in most of those success stories," continued Bobby. "Successful actors have a love of the journey and because we are part of that journey (assisting many actors land their first agent) they return to show their support and love to us season after season."
In the acting world there's a lot of behind-the-scenes growth and even when you land the parts any actor will tell you that there's a lot of waiting. You need to enjoy every aspect of the acting world and not just the part where you see your face on the silver screen or stage. And you need to not take that journey by yourself. There is power in numbers.
"Actors who are in this industry need to know that the best thing you can do for your career is love the journey (rehearsals, networking, etc). So many actors make the mistake of thinking they can make it in this industry all alone. A journey by yourself is a lonely journey and usually not very successful!
"TAPNYC is an ensemble and we want you to know the journey should not be alone. Acting is not a solo career it's a career that takes writers, directors, managers, agents, other actors, and the list goes on."
When Bobby created his company, he did it with the idea that he wanted to create a sort of brotherhood where all of his members (past and present) are taking that journey together and now that's exactly what has happened as was clear this year.
"Nothing will strengthen your career or your performance more than embracing an ensemble," Bobby continued. "Enjoy the journey and the folks around you. Actors who do that in our company quickly become success stories. The actors who love the process and those around them always take direction well, connect on stage, and ace the interviews with industry."
So now Bobby is already looking to the future. "Next at TAPNYC will be our 30th season! We have been assisting actors land agents and get work with three seasons a year. TAPNYC members and alumni dominate the rosters of many agencies and management companies in New York. We plan to celebrate that! We have an AMAZING Team at TAPNYC and we are expanding to include more directors and casting associates.
"We're also reaching out and giving back with more FREE events for members and non-members of TAPNYC. We just started Coffee and Tea with TAPNYC which is an event once a month where members can bring non-members or any actor who is interested in knowing more about TAPNYC can attend. Actors who attend can meet The Actor's Project NYC team and industry who are coming to our shows and working with our members and alumni."
The Actors Project NYC is currently casting five Off Broadway Industry Showcases for Season 30. TAPNYC is a unique membership theatre company that assists its actors land agents and get work through industry showcases and new plays.

The Saluki defense recorded three sacks and four interceptions in the victory.
Oct. 6, 2012
Final Stats | Notes | Photo Gallery
NORMAL, Ill. - Southern Illinois spoiled Illinois State's homecoming as the SIU defense turned in a nearly flawless performance in a 17-0 upset win over the No. 9 ranked Redbirds (5-1, 2-1) Saturday afternoon at Hancock Stadium. It was the first road win over a top 10 team for Southern Illinois (3-3, 2-1) since knocking off No. 9 South Dakota State in 2009.
The victory was a signature win for the Dawgs, who have not allowed a touchdown in each of their last two road games.
Southern's Anthony Thompson scooped up a blocked punt and ran 16 yards for a touchdown with 5:38 left in the first quarter to give SIU a 7-0 lead. It was all the help the Saluki defense needed on the afternoon.
"Watching on film, we just felt that their punter was not protected by the shield in the middle," Coach Dale Lennon said of the decision to bring the rush on ISU punter Patrick Wright early in the game. "We felt we could get a potential block coming off the edge. The way it all presented itself, it all worked out just like we had practiced, and the guys did a good job executing."
The Salukis kept ISU's offense off rhythm all day, forcing four interceptions en route to their first shutout since 2009. Redbird quarterback Matt Brown had only thrown three interceptions all season entering the game.
A pair of Illinois State fourth quarter drives reached SIU territory before each ended with an interception. Terrell Wilson picked off Brown at the SIU 29 with 6:30 left in the game, and Bryan Presume ended any thoughts of a comeback with an interception at the two-yard line with just under four minutes remaining the game.
"We started to mix up the coverage when we had eight guys dropping back and getting pressure with a three man rush," Lennon said. "That helped us create a few turnovers."
Kory Faulkner struggled for three quarters for the Salukis but made quality throws in the fourth quarter on a 91-yard touchdown drive which gave SIU a 17-0 advantage and put the game out of reach. On the drive, he completed all four pass attempts for 54 yards, including a 32-yard strike to MyCole Pruitt over the middle.
Those were the Salukis' only four pass attempts of the fourth quarter as they kept the ball on the ground for much of the second half. SIU ran for 109 yards on 47 attempts, but the offense did not turn the ball over.
"We wanted to be able to run the ball effectively," Lennon said. "We had limited success. It wasn't one of those games where you're going to be able to brag about your rushing yards, but we did do enough to do what we needed to."
Illinois State entered the game averaging 455.4 yards of total offense and nearly 40 points per game but could not make any clutch plays. The Redbirds faced 12 third downs and did not convert a single one as the Dawgs held them to 257 yards in the game.
Tyler Williamson had a break out day for the Dawgs. The sophomore linebacker led the team with seven tackles. He also added a sack and his first career interception.
"All day we refused to let them in the end zone," Williamson said. "Our offense did the things they had to do, and we won the game."

Meanwhile, the Wind Box DE220 is a lightweight system around the size of a sheet of A4 paper (210mm x 297mm), and can be mounted behind a monitor to act as an all-in-one system. MSI has given even fewer details about the DC500, except that it is a "highly original device," it's designed to stand upright on a desk, and it's roughly 60% smaller than a conventional desktop system.
All of the mentioned systems are based on Intel's Pineview platform and will be powered by an Atom D410 or D510 processor. MSI's press release contained no other information of note -- except, of course, that interested parties should swing by the company's booth at CES.

College Hockey:St. Cloud's Coole Freezes CC Offense
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — In a tense defensive battle, the St. Cloud State Huskies proved to be one play better Friday night, handing Colorado College its second loss of the season with a 2-0 shutout.
Despite a defense that killed off three penalties, extending its streak of successful kills to 25 straight, the Tigers could not push the puck through the Huskies' junior goaltender, Adam Coole, and his physical supporting cast.
"We've got to score goals to win," said sophomore winger Brett Sterling, who initiated several scoring chances on the night. "We didn't get the breaks and we couldn't bury our chances."
St. Cloud, on the other hand, capitalized on a rare CC defensive gaffe to create the game-winning goal. At 10:59 of the second period, sophomore Joe Jensen slipped behind the defense to collect a perfectly-lofted pass from Billy Hengen.
Even with the partial breakaway, a hard backcheck by Richard Petiot nearly saved the day for CC. Petiot made contact with Jensen and his stick, knocking him over. On the way down, Jensen managed to tip the puck inside the left post. Ryan LaMere had the secondary assist.
"I thought I had him on the way back [into the zone]," said Petiot. "I had his stick, but he was lucky and the puck came right back to him and he stuffed it in."
Matt Zaba, whose freshman stint in replacement of Curtis McElhinney (out due to illness) earned him Rookie of the Month honors for November, suffered his first-ever loss in a CC uniform.
If he were to lose to anyone, it was somewhat fitting that it be St. Cloud, considering that Coole is the only WCHA netminder with a better save percentage (.940) than Zaba (.938). Coole turned away 27 Tiger shots, including a spectacular diving stick save early in the first period, following a collision with a CC forward.
"We have to bear down in front of the net. We need a bad goal to get us going against this [goalie]," said Petiot.
In addition to the hot play of Coole, the Tigers faced a tenacious, hard-hitting defensive corps that blocked 22 shots, 10 of them in the third period.
"They are a real good defensive team. They keep three people back at all times, so it's tough to create odd-man rushes against them," said Sterling.
Down 1-0 with less than a minute remaining, CC coach Scott Owens pulled Zaba in favor of an extra skater and called a timeout. On the ensuing faceoff, the puck took a Husky bounce, scooting out to the St. Cloud forwards and eventually leading to an empty-netter by right winger Brock Hooten (assists from Peter Szabo and Matt Hendricks) with 35 seconds remaining.
"[During the timeout] we were just trying to get everybody in the right position and let them go," said Owens. "I don't really need to fire them up; it's a 1-0 game with 40 seconds left. I just need to get the right people out there so that we can set up a play."
Despite the lack of output on offense, Owens looks forward to the same kind of effort in Saturday's rematch with the Huskies at the World Arena.
"I think this was our best game in five games, to be honest," said Owens. "I thought our systems were good and defensively we only gave up one goal against a good team. … But this team [St. Cloud] is the top defensive team in the country."

Dallas can't claim many celebrities as its own. With few exceptions (Hi, Don Henley!), if they make it big, they leave us. That's why Troy Aikman can't get through a meal at the Highland Park Village Mi Cocina without a guy coming up to his table to shake his hand. We're starved for celebrities. Which also explains why we make so much fuss over our famous chefs. Louboutin-heeled ladies fawn like groupies when in the presence of Kent Rathbun, Dean Fearing, or Stephan Pyles.
Television has elevated at least four of our chefs to national fame. Bravo's Top Chef has featured three from North Texas: Tre Wilcox (then of Abacus), Tiffany Derry (then of Go Fish Ocean Club), and Casey Thompson (then of Shinsei). Kooky restaurateur and caterer Lisa Garza (then of Suze) mesmerized and polarized fans when she competed on The Next Food Network Star. These days, it's easier to get in touch with Brad Pitt than Lisa Garza.
None of the aforementioned chefs won the big prize. All four returned to the Dallas area and, eventually, starred in new restaurants backed by investors. After her appearance on Top Chef, Thompson left her post at Shinsei and co-founded Brownstone in Fort Worth. After losing in the finals, Garza operated an upscale catering company for several years and has opened Sissy's Southern Kitchen & Bar on Henderson Avenue. After Tre Wilcox packed up his knives, he juggled consulting and private gigs before he landed center stage at Marquee Grill in Highland Park Village. And Tiffany Derry, who couldn't sell a piece of halibut at the now-defunct Go Fish while she competed on Top Chef, is now ruling the kitchen at Private Social.
Derry, Wilcox, and Thompson have one thing in common: they are only above-average chefs. I realize mine is a minority opinion, but nothing I have eaten in their restaurants has blown me out of my chair.
Thompson's take on eat-local cuisine was a half-hearted attempt to ride a trend while she traveled for all the consulting jobs she landed after her TV appearance. Her ingredients may have been local, but she wasn't. At press time in early March, Garza's restaurant had just opened, but she hired Jeffery Hobbs to run her kitchen while she works the front of the house. A smart move by the gabby Garza. Wilcox's menu at Marquee has impressed many of my colleagues, but I find his culinary point of view dated and his presentations stuck in the late '90s.
I'm sorry to say, Derry's vision mirrors Wilcox's. However, my assessment of Private Social, like that of Marquee Grill, doesn't mesh with the facts: both restaurants are booming.
At Private Social, you have a choice of sitting in the main dining room (Private) or the bar (Social). Derry's menu is a throwback to global fusion. The chef, who was raised in Beaumont, Texas, combines Southern cooking and dishes with Korean, Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Italian, and Middle Eastern accents. The first time I perused the lunch menu, I felt like I was reading a list of grab-bag ingredients for a cooking competition.
We started with five thin slices of pastrami-cured hiramasa. The pale pink fish's sweet taste was overwhelmed by brown sugar and coriander. In contrast, the expected strong spices on jerk chicken were faint. Grilled white fish on jasmine rice surrounded by Thai coconut sauce was lovely, but I haven't craved it since.
The gentleman I took to lunch was so unimpressed that he would not return to try Derry's dinner menu, so I invited two old friends I hadn't seen in years. We scooched into an opalescent pearl-colored leather booth and surveyed the chic main dining room. To our right, a table of 12 African-American men were deep into a happy hour celebration. To our left, a twentysomething Asian couple sat so close together that you couldn't slide a string of dental floss between them. They gazed into each other's eyes as the waiter topped their Champagne glasses. When we weren't watching for the guy to get down on one knee, we were mesmerized by a gathering of female real estate agents who spent more time ordering wine than food. By 7 o'clock on a Wednesday night, the bar, main dining room, and private room were packed, and it was so loud you couldn't hear a fork drop.
Thankfully my friends had a sense of humor, because the long evening we spent at Private Social was laughable. To start, we ordered burrata wrapped with beef carpaccio. Not only was it cold, but it was also as thick and malleable as Play-Doh—not at all the creamy, oozy Italian cheese we were expecting. I took it home and let it sit out overnight. It never softened. Top Chef Pork Buns were a better choice. On one visit, the pork belly-filled Chinese wheat buns were dry; the next time around, we asked for extra sauce and enjoyed this signature dish immensely.Of the three entrées we ordered, only two were edible, and none were Top Chef quality. Veal shoulder braised in white wine sat on an undercooked layer of garganelli, a pasta similar to penne, soaked with sherry cream sauce. I couldn't cut through the pasta, so I picked it up with my fingers and tried to bite it. When our server arrived to check on us, I handed over the plate of pasta and asked her to take it back to the kitchen. I didn't ask for a replacement and instead turned my attention to other dishes on the table.
"What are these little black things on my monkfish?" my friend asked. I scooped up what appeared to be a generous sliver of black truffle from the red wine beurre blanc. I cleansed my palate, set the specimen on my tongue, and closed my eyes. Not one of my 6,000-plus taste buds transmitted a musky, nutty taste to my brain. I took it out and rolled it between my thumb and middle finger. It was dry, with the consistency of beef jerky. I bit it and chewed. Still nothing.
Meanwhile, my friend seemed to enjoy her duck-fat-fried chicken. "It's not bad," she said. "It's just a little greasy. I wish the skin were crisper. However," she added, pointing to the side of overly braised greens, "that is foul." Puns aside, we decided to share the plate of fried chicken because it was the tastiest plate of our trio and more than enough to feed the three of us. But we sat in front of our barely touched entrées for nearly 40 minutes before our plates were removed from the table.
Once ordered, our desserts took another 20 minutes to arrive. The "decadent chocolate cake" was a dark chocolate ganache brownie served with Grand Marnier foam, chai ice cream dusted with nutmeg, and jiggly little cubes of jellied chai tea. It might have impressed Padma on Top Chef for originality, but a chocolate ganache cake is hardly inspired. A sampling of house-made gelato and sorbet included salted caramel, strawberry and Champagne, and Fruity Pebbles. All were pleasing if extremely sweet.
I stayed away from Private Social for a few weeks and then returned in early February and ordered several of the same dishes. We hesitated to order the burrata, but our server gave it the hard sell. "The chef has made some changes and now orders the cheese from Italy," she said. The carpaccio-wrapped ball looked the same, but the cheese inside was a huge improvement: soft, buttery, and room temperature, as it should be. The accompanying mixed greens were invigorated by the addition of rehydrated basil seeds.
We felt a little more confidence coming from the kitchen, so we decided to try the sweetbreads. We were served an undercooked, rubbery, hot pink mass of gland that turned our stomachs. Playing dumb, we showed it to the server. "We've never ordered this before," I said. "Is this the way it is supposed to be?" I attempted to maneuver my knife through the meat and succeeded only in splashing broth across the table. She agreed it was not cooked and swept it away. A few minutes later, she returned with a brilliant version swimming in a memorable ham broth scented with braised radishes. If only we'd received this version the first time.
We're glad we gave the veal shoulder a second chance, too. This time the garganelli—each one made by hand, boasted our server—was cooked properly, and the light sherry cream sauce arrived hot and punctuated with tart cherries and gently wilted arugula. I felt like Top Chef judge Tom Colicchio. "Now this is how this dish is supposed to taste. Tiffany, if you could just be more consistent and pay attention to every dish that leaves or returns to your kitchen, you would be our Top Chef."
Sadly, nice as she is, Tiffany Derry is not our top chef. And Private Social, crowded though it may be, is not the best restaurant in Dallas. Over the course of two lunches and two dinners, unlike the wildly inconsistent food, the service was, sadly, identical: hyper attentive to start, followed by stop-start-stagger pace. Never once did I see Derry in the dining room.
Not one dish I ate at Private Social makes me eager to return. Dallas has too many other restaurants at this price point (entrées top out at $44) that deliver more satisfaction. Perhaps Derry should nix a few continents from her menu and just cook from her heart. And work the room like a celebrity chef.

As described in last month's issue of the Crier, at its June 11 meeting, the Chevy Chase Village Board of Managers adopted the following policy and procedures regarding the planting of trees in the Village's public rights-of-way. This policy takes effect immediately. Please click on the link below for a revised list of the proposed sites and trees to be planted this autumn. Should you have any comments please send them immediately in writing to Tree Committee Chair Samuel Lawrence via the Village office by emailing: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Policy: To fulfill its objective of maintaining and enhancing the Village tree canopy and an aesthetically pleasing streetscape, the Village will seek fully to utilize opportunities for planting trees within Village rights of way, taking into consideration the need to plant a variety of species (to the extent possible, native to this area), constraints imposed by power lines and other utilities, appropriate spacing, and such special circumstances as may be brought to its attention through the process outlined below.
As funds become available, trees will be planted in all sites within Village rights of way absent compelling reasons not to do so. Additionally, in selected locations where a viable planting site is not available in the rights of way but the canopy and streetscape would be enhanced through a tree planted on immediately adjacent private property, the Village may, with that owner's concurrence, assume the cost for planting a tree that will be included in the Village tree inventory and maintained by the Village.
Procedure: As a product of the tree inventory now underway, the Village will maintain a roster of planting sites on Village rights of way. At least four months prior to planting, a list of trees proposed for planting in Village rights of way and the species proposed for each site will be published on the Village website and in the Crier. Additionally, letters will be sent by the Village office to those residents whose properties directly abut proposed planting sites. Residents will be invited to provide a written comment regarding proposed plantings adjacent to their property as to the proposed species, preferred specific location, and possible unique circumstances which might render planting on the proposed site clearly inappropriate or infeasible. These comments will be referred to the Village Tree Committee which at least six weeks prior to the planned date for planting will tally resident comments for review by the Board of Managers and offer any further advice or comment it may have. The Tree Committee report will be reviewed and acted upon by the Board of Managers in public session prior to planting. At this time, any resident who believes the Tree Committee in its report has not appropriately addressed his/her circumstance may appear before the Board to state their concerns.
Residents located on streets where the ROW is not sufficiently wide to accommodate plantings will be invited to suggest trees which might be planted on their property in order to enhance the streetscape and Village canopy. Village staff or the Tree Committee may also from time to time advance recommendations for such plantings. These plantings will be negotiated with the affected residents on a case-by-case basis but with notification of any planned plantings also provided to close neighbors.

GotApex? has posted a review of the ASUS V8420 GeForce 4 Ti DVI 4200 video card.
This time around, Mr. Postman brought to my door a card for the budget minded gamer, the Asus V8420 GeForce 4 Ti 4200 DVI. Featuring 128MB of DDR RAM, Dual Monitor support and TV-out, the Asus is about as loaded as its big brother, the Ti4400. Yet the Ti4200 comes it at just under $200, and should offer up more than enough performance to keep the cheapskate happy with the latest games.More information at GotApex?

The FDA recently approved another teardrop shaped silicone gel implant. These implants are kind of like the gummy bear implants that we've been hearing about for years that are used in Europe and other parts of the world. Mentor is the name of the breast implant company that received the approval for their new breast implants. These implants give a very natural look to the breast without being just a circle. They are also made of silicone gel that give the breasts a very natural feel as well. Baltimore breast implant specialists will be thrilled to use these implants as they give their patients another choice for a natural look and feel after a breast enhancement procedure. A Baltimore breast augmentation patient can expect a 3-4 day recovery with little discomfort. Usually, one week off of any exercise is required. Check with your Baltimore breast enhancement doctor to see if these new implants are right for you.

Rona Renner
Re: Need some one-on-one advice on my parenting
I have heard Rona Renner speak about parenting pre-schoolers at my son's preschool and she is a very sensible, person with a helpful, non-judgemental problem-solving approach. She has a great sense of humor too, which you need when you're feeling overwhelmed with parenting. I know that she also runs workshops for parents at Kaiser. I think she'd be a great person to help with parenting skills.
Re: ADHD Parenting Classes & Support Groups
Rona Renner with Kaiser in Richmond runs an ADHD parenting workshop. It is a 4 part series on Saturday mornings. I believe the next series starts on Oct. 9th. Her # is (510)307-2539 for more info. You do not need to be a member of Kaiser to attend-- it is free to the public. I have not actually attended yet, but I plan to go to this next one. My son is 8 and was diagnosed with ADHD at age 7. We have had a lot of ups and downs and I've learned a lot in the process. If you'd like, I would be happy to talk with you more about our family's journey with an ADHD child (behavioral pediatricians, medication as an option, schools, etc.).
Re: Personal coach for parenting 6-year-old
My husband and I went to see a wonderful therapist (she calls herself a nurse) at Kaiser Richmond, named Rona Renner. She is wonderful, and extremely thoughtful! She offered us sound and do- able suggestions on how to deal with our seven year old son, as well as insights into why he bahaved the way he does (what he is feeling inside, and things that we can do or say that will help him (and us)). If you have Kaiser insurance, I would RUN to her immediately! The other possibilty is Jim Beatty, who offers social skills workshops for boys. He is located on Eighth Street, in Berkeley. His phone number is: 644-1788. He probably can't help you, but he might help your son. As an aside, I, too, am not proud of the anger I feel towards my son sometimes, but talking to Rona Renner really helped. I hope you can get in to see her! Everybody Needs Help Sometimes
Re: ADHD Parenting Class
I attended the ADHD parenting class at the Kaiser in Richmond. Class lasts for 4 weeks, is free, has lots of good information, and you do not have to be a Kaiser member to attend. akiversen
Re: ADHD Parenting Class
Ronna Renner, RN works for Kaiser and is an parent educator, parent of an adhd son, and a terrific resource. She has written, conducts workshops, and is a recognized local expert. Contact her at Richmond Kaiser. Highly recommended! My son is 13 now, so i have been there, done that! laura
Re: Kaiser Therapist for Spirited Child
Rona Renner is amazing! I took a class with her, and a friend consulted her for temperament issues concerning her son. Rona is a mother of several children herself. I wish I had Kaiser health insurance just so that I could consult with her! Alison

Village Roadshow Wild About Chinese Water Park Deal
Less than a fortnight after announcing it had taken a 51% stake in a US$50 million Wet 'n' Wild development in Las Vegas after being courted by Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf, theme park developer Village Roadshow announced its next destination would be Hainan Island, China.
Village Roadshow has struck a deal with Guangzhou R&F Properties Ltd. to recreate a 3.5 billion yuan (US$568 million) marine animal-focused theme park, similar to its Sea World resort on Australia's Gold Coast.
One agreement will see the Melbourne-based company design, develop and construct Hainan R&F Ocean Paradise and Hainan Wet 'n' Wild. A second grants Village Roadshow exclusive rights to operate it for two decades.
"We have searched the world to find the best partner to work with to deliver on our commitment to establish an international standard theme park for the people of Hainan and China. We believe we have found this in Village Roadshow," Guangzhou R&F Properties chairman Li Sze Lim said in a statement.
Investors weren't wrapped with the group's newfound exposure to the Chinese tourism and leisure market. Village Roadshow shares closed unchanged at A$3.50 a share, underperforming the benchmark S&P/ASX200 which added 0.8% to 4,528.2.

Marvell launches Armada fleet
Chips set sail
CHIP MAKER MARVELL has unveiled its latest ARM based chips, the Armada family of processors.
Designed for smartphones, embedded devices and consumer electronics, Marvell reckons these new chips are even more powerful than before to help cope with the demands of taxing multimedia content such as Flash and Blu-Ray.
They also use less power than their predecessors, making them greener and helping extend battery life for mobile devices.
"The Armada family delivers to mobile devices what sceptics once doubted could be done: fast, PC-calibre processing, full internet experience, rich media including HD quality video and 3D graphics - all in lightweight form factors with long battery life," said Weili Dai, co-founder and vice president of Marvell.
"There will always be a place for PCs, but the future of mobile computing - for smartbooks, e-readers, smart tablets and more - will by necessity get its DNA from smartphones, not PCs."
So far, four chip families make up the Armada fleet. At the bottom of the line is the budget 100 series, aimed at mainstream products such as e-readers, personal information devices and other embedded systems. Processors in this group run at up to 1.2GHz and feature 24-bit WUXGA LCD support, a built in display controller, 2D graphics hardware acceleration and a range of I/O options.
A step up from that is the 500 series, including the latest edition the 510, which boasts enough horsepower for smartbooks and tablets thanks to a CPU core running at up to 1.2GHz along with having vector floating point support and 512KB L2 cache, 1080p video decode, 15 MT/s 3D graphics, WUXGA LCD resolution support, security acceleration and PCIe, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0, SDIO, DDR3, and SATA interfaces.
Meanwhile the 600 series is designed for small form factors and low power requirements, making it best suited for high-end smartphones, with an up to 1GHz core, ultra low power usage, vector floating point and 256KB L2 cache.
The 500 and 600 series are amongst the first such chips to be running the ARM v7 instruction set.
The final member is the Armada 1000 series, which is focused on connected full-HD consumer devices, such as TVs, set top boxes and other media players, with dual CPU cores running at up to 1.2GHz, dual full-HD decode, high performance audio DSP, 2x32 DDR2 controllers, high performance graphics acceleration, security subsystem including a secure execution processor and a wide range of connectivity options.
So far the Armada family has racked up around 50 design wins, and it has garnered support from software developers as well.
"At Canonical, we have been enormously impressed with what Marvell's Armada 510-based systems can do when running a desktop-class operating system like Ubuntu," said Chris Kenyon, vice president of OEM services at Canonical.
"The ARM ecosystem is using Armada 510 because of its outstanding display resolution, performance, hardware multimedia and large memory support. We believe users will love where this takes Ubuntu in terms of quality, price, and range of device availability." µ

Strange problem today when surfing websites hosted on my server. Everything works fast, server load is under 1, I don't see any problems on the server but...
I open some website and it starts loading very fast. Then it stops for no reason. After some time (10 seconds, 20 seconds, 1 minute) website continues loading. Sometimes it leads to "connection reset" error. It happends not on each click - I make 10-20-30-50 clicks and everything loads for 100% but on the next click page loading stops and continues after some time. When page hangs and I click refresh, it loads for 100% without any problems. Or I can open the same file in a new window/tab and it loads very fast. But previous window/tab is still loading.
Ping doesn't show any packet loss. I tested file loading through FTP. I loaded 300 MB file very fast and without interruptions.
It looks like data stuck somewhere between server and my computer.
I remember I had the same problem in the same data center ~5 years ago but I don't remember how I resolved it.
What is it? Server problem? Network problem? Internet service provider problem? Computer problem?

One issue could mar the success of the launch, though. According to a story at Gamespot, several employees with dark skin tones had trouble being scanned by the facial recognition software. This feature is designed to detect a player simply by entering the Kinect's field of view, eliminating the need for choosing a player profile before starting a game. "The system recognized one employee inconsistently, while it was never able to properly identify the other despite repeated calibration attempts," the article reports.
Although this issue may steal the spotlight away from the launch, it is not uncommon in webcams to have facial detection issues. Especially when using low-resolution cameras, dark skin tones can be harder to detect and track, something that has troubled other webcam makers in the past. Microsoft is asking for anyone experiencing a problem to contact them via email and stresses that the system is designed to work with people of all shapes and ethnicities.

Since the lack of updates and wallpapers, I have en excuse to give. I've been traveling a bit to Florida and back to Illinois with my Mom about buying a condo. We bought it and last week me family and I were getting furniture there so I have been quite busy.
I also have been in the process of getting into The Illinois Institute of Art for a bit now and I actually just finished my essay and transferring my transcripts to the college. I'm excited to get a Bachelor's in Web Design!
Hopefully I'll be getting more inspiration to make wallpapers soon!

The Los Angeles D-Fenders defeated the Texas Legends 150-124 at the Citizens Business Bank Arena, in Ontario, California, on Monday night.
In the first quarter, the D-Fenders (14-10) defense got the team off to a fast start, forcing the Legends (14-11) into seven turnovers which led to 12 fast break points and an early nine-point advantage. Los Angeles pushed their lead to 14 points in the second frame, but an 11-5 run from Texas to end the half brought the D-Fenders lead back down to eight at the close of the initial 24 minutes of play. In total, the D-Fenders shot 43.6 percent from the field and forced the Legends into 12 turnovers in the first half.
The D-Fenders offense erupted in the third period to the tune of third quarter season-high 42 points on 66.7 percent from the field and 55.6 percent from the three-point line. The offensive onslaught allowed Los Angeles to extend their lead to 18 points entering the final quarter. The hot-shooting continued in the fourth quarter with the D-Fenders totaling 45 points on 62.1 percent from the field and 50.0 percent from the three-point line. Leading by as many as 32 points, the D-Fenders phenomenal second-half performance led to a new franchise-record 150 points scored in a single game; besting the previous high of 138 points.
C.J. Williams led the charge for Los Angeles, scoring an NBA D-League career-high 36 points. Terrence Williams (27 points, seven assists), James Southerland (19 points), Shawne Williams (18 points), Brandon Costner (15 points, nine rebounds) and Josiah Turner (11 points, seven assists) all finished in double-digits as well. Josh Magette also pitched in 12 assists for the D-Fenders.
The Legends were commanded by Devin Ebanks (27 points, nine rebounds), P.J. Hairston (23 points), Melvin Ely (17 points), Dallas Mavericks assignment player Ricky Ledo (16 points) and Terrel Harris (12 points). Mickey McConnell also dished out seven assists for Texas.
Overall, the D-Fenders proved to be successful at getting out in the open floor, out-scoring Texas 39-19 in fast break points. In addition, the only deficit the D-Fenders faced was 2-0 in the first minute of play. Los Angeles led for the following 47 minutes, and set a new season-high for field goals made in a game (58).
Los Angeles will now travel to play the Idaho Stampede (Portland Trail Blazers affiliate) on January 31st at 6:00pm, at the Century Link Arena, in Boise, Idaho.
