SXSW has announced that director Martin Shore's directorial debut "Take Me To The River" is this year's winner of the Documentary Feature Audience Award in the 24 Beats Per Second section.
"Take Me to the River" is a feature film celebrating the inter-generational and inter-racial musical influence of Memphis in the face of pervasive discrimination and segregation.
The film brings multiple generations of award-winning Memphis and Mississippi Delta musicians together, following them through the creative process of recording a historic new album, to re-imagine the utopia of racial, gender and generational collaboration of Memphis in its heyday.
Shore's documentary features interviews with Terrence Howard, William Bell, Snoop Dog, Mavis Staples, Otis Clay, Lil P-Nut, Charlie Musselwhite, Bobby "Blue" Bland, Yo Gotti, Bobby Rush, Frayser Boy, The North Mississippi All-Stars and many more.
A Grammy nominated music and film producer, Shore is also an accomplished musician who has toured with the likes of Bo Diddley, Clarence Clemons, and many others.

"Management of cytomegalovirus infection in haemopoietic stem cell transplantation." has been saved, and will be accessible from the My NGC page.
Go to My NGC
Alert me when this guideline summary is updated.
This is the current release of the guideline.
Cytomegalovirus infection in haemopoietic stem cell transplantation
Note: The guidelines also are relevant to other areas of haematological oncology where there is an increased risk of cytomegalovirus infection, such as haematological cancers where intense anti-T-cell therapy has been deployed.
To expand and adapt previous guidance on management of cytomegalovirus infection in haemopoietic stem cell transplantation
Patients with cytomegalovirus infection in haemopoietic stem cell transplantation
The production of these guidelines involved literature review to 1 May 2012 including Medline, PubMed, and Cochrane reviews databases.
Not stated
Quality of Evidence
The quality of evidence is graded as high (A), moderate (B) or low (C). To put this in context it is useful to consider the uncertainty of knowledge and whether further research could change what is known or is certain.
(A) High Further research is very unlikely to change confidence in the estimate of effect. Current evidence derived from randomised clinical trials without important limitations.
(B) Moderate Further research may well have an important impact on confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate. Current evidence derived from randomised clinical trials with important limitations (e.g., inconsistent results, imprecision – wide confidence intervals or methodological flaws – e.g., lack of blinding, large losses to follow up, failure to adhere to intention to treat analysis), or very strong evidence from observational studies or case series (e.g., large or very large and consistent estimates of the magnitude of a treatment effect or demonstration of a dose-response gradient).
(C) Low Further research is likely to have an important impact on confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate. Current evidence from observational studies, case series, or just opinion.
The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) nomenclature was used to evaluate levels of evidence (see the "Rating Scheme for the Strength of the Evidence" field).
The production of these guidelines involved the following steps:
Strength of Recommendations
Strong (grade 1): Strong recommendations (grade 1) are made when there is confidence that the benefits do or do not outweigh harm and burden. Grade 1 recommendations can be applied uniformly to most patients. Regard as 'recommend'.
Weak (grade 2): Where the magnitude of benefit or not is less certain a weaker grade 2 recommendation is made. Grade 2 recommendations require judicious application to individual patients. Regard as 'suggest'.
A formal cost analysis was not performed and published cost analyses were not reviewed.
Definitions for the quality of the evidence (A–C) and strength of recommendations (strong [grade 1], weak [grade 2]) are given at the end of the "Major Recommendations" field.
Impact of Host and Donor CMV Serostatus
Primary and Secondary Prophylaxis for CMV
Pre-emptive Therapy
Treatment Thresholds
Each transplant centre should have a risk-adapted policy detailing threshold values for treatment of CMV infection, taking into account patient factors and local PCR methodology (Grade 2C).
Antiviral Agents Used in Pre-emptive Therapy
Switching Pre-emptive Therapy
In patients where CMV DNA loads in blood increase by 1 log10 over 2 weeks of pre-emptive therapy with a first line drug, an alternative agent and drug resistance profiling should be considered (Grade 2C).
Antiviral Drug Resistance
Management of CMV Disease
None provided
The type of supporting evidence is identified and graded for each recommendation (see the "Major Recommendations" field).
Appropriate prevention and management of cytomegalovirus infection in haemopoietic stem cell transplantation
Drugs Used for Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Prevention
Side Effects of Drugs Used to Treat CMV Infection
These evidence-based guidelines expand and adapt previous guidance. While specifically focusing on allogeneic haemopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), they are relevant to other areas of haematological oncology where there is an increased risk of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, such as haematological cancers where intense anti-T-cell therapy has been deployed.
An implementation strategy was not provided.

Joe Henderson: 'Round Midnight
'Round Midnight
Joe Henderson (tenor sax)
Joe Henderson In Japan (OJCCD-1040-2)
Joe Henderson (tenor sax),
Hideo Ichikawa (electric piano), Kunimitsu Inaba (bass), Motohiko Hino (drums).
Composed by Thelonious Monk.
Recorded: live at The Junk Club, Tokyo, Japan, August 4, 1971
Rating: 92/100 (learn more)
In the early '70s, Joe Henderson had Monk's most celebrated tune at least semi-regularly in his live rotation, as evidenced by its inclusion in At the Lighthouse, recorded almost a year earlier. This time, however, there's no trumpet player, and Henderson allows himself to stretch more.
And stretch he does. Starting the song unaccompanied, he combines trills with trips to the altissimo register, playing coyly and summoning up Coleman Hawkins. Never in this a cappella performance does he lose track of the melodic line. As the local backing players enter three minutes later, Henderson glides right into the groove. Hino is playing with an ear close to what the leader is doing, and Inaba is rock solid. Ichikawa doesn't shrink from the challenge of following Henderson, bringing much humanness to his electric piano.
Joe Henderson could spin magic no matter what he played, where he played, or with whom he played.

Crisis in Syria: The IRC's emergency response
Over 250,000 Syrians have fled into neighboring countries since the start of the the conflict in 2011.
Sanj Srikanthan, International Rescue Committee-UK's emergency field director, recently led an assessment into the needs of Syrian refugees in Lebanon. Watch this interview with Sanj to hear how the IRC is responding to the crisis. (Posted October 2, 2012)
Video Transcription
Crisis in Syria. An interview with Sanj Srikanthan, IRC Emergency Field Director
SS: "I'm Sanj Srikanthan, the deputy Field Director based in the International Rescue Committee UK office.
I am based here providing support to the IRC UK work around the world, but I also deploy on emergencies as and when required and most recently that was in Lebanon."
What are the needs of refugees arriving in Lebanon?
SS: "As the winter approaches we need to start thinking about how cold it can get in Lebanon. It can approach 0 degrees centigrade. We have this idea that, because it is part of the Middle East, it is always going to be hot. Actually it is not, in the winter it can get extremely cold.
Some of them have got shelters. Some of them are sheltering in schools which are reopening, so they need to find other shelter. They are going to need tents, they need fuel, so we need to start thinking about that.
They need livelihoods. They need help in paying their rent, if they're renting accommodation in Lebanon.
So there are a lot of issues around livelihoods, and one of the things that IRC's doing, is sending a specialist on this, to look at how we can provide means around food, security and livelihoods."
Over half the refugees fleeing Syria are women and girls. Why are they particularly vulnerable?
SS: "The kind of violence, sexual and otherwise, against women and girls fleeing Syria is unprecedented. It's something we never expected before we arrived.
And they are so tired and they are so lacking in other resources that they haven't got the time to even process the sort of things they've experienced. They are having to now find a livelihood for themselves and try to pay the rent and also think about what has happened to the men in their families, many of whom are still involved in the conflict in Syria."
What support do women and girl refugees need?
SS: "Specifically around women and girls we need to provide the sort of services that you would expect to see for survivors of rape, sexual violence, domestic abuse, and that is what we're not seeing universally provided to Syrian refugees."
How is the IRC responding?
SS: "The IRC has decided to act immediately. So currently the team is being formed, funding is being sourced and we're always looking to secure as much as possible to reach as many of those in need as possible. And we hope in the next week to deploy a team to Lebanon and start that work.
Not only are we providing our own services but we can also assist other humanitarian organizations in providing a consistent and high standard of service for women and girls."
Over 250,000 refugees have fled Syria since the start of the conflict. It is estimated that this number will rise to 700,000 by the end of the year. Visit our Syria Crisis webpage to stay informed about the IRC's work supporting Syrian refugees.

Acquisitions are common, so companies with no recent listings may still be developing games under a new name. For example, DMA Design currently has a Rockstar name.

Secrets of Success
First Week of BFFM
Monday, January 21, 2013
Good morning!
I have good news to report! I weighed myself this morning after my first week of BFFM and I weigh 198lbs!! I lost 1lb during the last week, eating a CRAZY amount of food. I am so pleased! I was worried that with a higher-calorie plan, I'd gain weight but apparently that's not the case. I will definitely be sticking this one out for the long haul.
It was a challenging week... but not in the way you might think. I enjoyed the food I ate, I was always full and never hungry, I enjoyed pushing myself harder in the gym, etc. The hard part was preparing each and every meal the night before. By the time I get home from the gym it's usually close to 7pm. I then have to have my 5th meal of the day, then cook all my meals for the next day, do the dishes, shower, etc... and by the time I'm done all of that - it's bedtime.
I needed to find a way to get organized so I spent quite a few hours in the kitchen on Saturday and cooked an enormous amount of food. I then divided it all into individual portions (my scale and measuring cups saved the day), placed the portions in small plastic bags, and wrote on the bag the type of food, the amount and the calories of that portion. So for example, I froze turkey meat so on the bag it would say "Turkey, 120 g, 189 calories". No guess work. It's all been done. Now, every night, I just need to grab a few bags out of the freezer for the next day. I think this might be my saving grace since for a few hours of work, I got 2 weeks worth of food ready.
Mind you, I still have to cook veggies during the week, boil eggs and cook my omelettes and oatmeal but it will save me so much time in the evening that I can now spend on myself!
Another struggle I had was staying on schedule during the weekend. I was so busy cooking and cleaning that I didn't get enough calories in on Sunday and I didn't drink enough water. I will get better now that I have ready-made food in the freezer.
I'm feeling really great about this plan and I can see success in my future. I already weigh less than I have in a LONG time so I'm feeling amazing. Who would have thought I could eat so much and still lose weight!?
Also, on a personal note, I went on a first date yesterday with a handsome, smart, ambitious man who has everything I'm looking for. I'm hopeful, but realistic. The date went really well but it's too soon to know where this will lead.
Things are starting to look up!

CHICAGO (AP) -- Ron Gardenhire had the perfect remedy for a
depleted bullpen -- Johan Santana.
The Twins' ace struck out 10 in seven sharp innings, Jason Kubel
hit a three-run homer and added an RBI single, and Minnesota beat
the Chicago White Sox 5-2 on Sunday.
Jim Thome hit his 498th career home run, a solo shot off
reliever Juan Rincon in the eighth inning. It's the third straight
game Thome has homered, giving him 26 on the season.
Santana (15-11), who had given up eight runs in 12 innings in
losing his last two starts, yielded only one run on four hits. He
walked two while throwing 116 pitches to help the Twins snap a
season-high six game losing streak.
Gardenhire watched the Minnesota bullpen blow a six-run lead in
the ninth on Friday and a two-run lead on Saturday.
"He might have gone out there for 130 [pitches] if I had my way
today. I've been pointing out to that bullpen and it ain't been
working out too good lately," Gardenhire said. "They're a little
worn down and I was ready to just keep on going [with Santana]."
Santana got out of trouble in the sixth inning, getting Paul Konerko to pop out with the bases loaded to end it.
"I feel good. Sometimes things don't work out the way they
should or the way you want," Santana said. "Especially in a game
like today where we had been losing so many games, that's when you
want to end everything. I'm very happy that we got this win."
After blowing his last two chances, Joe Nathan pitched a
scoreless ninth for his 30th save in 34 opportunities.
Jon Garland (9-11) gave up five runs in eight innings, but only
one of them was earned because of two fielding errors by Alex Cintron. The White Sox have lost 20 of their last 27 games and are
guaranteed their first losing season since 1999.
Garland fell to 1-4 over his last seven starts. He allowed five
hits, striking out five and walking two.
"It's definitely a part of the game," Garland said of the
errors. "It's just a matter of overcoming them and today I didn't
do that."
Cintron's first error came in the third inning, when Garland
gave up a two-out walk to Nick Punto and Jason Bartlett hit a ball
that the third baseman couldn't handle. Kubel followed with an RBI
single to tie the game at 1.
The second error came in the fifth, when Luis Rodriguez hit a
two-out single and Cintron again booted Bartlett's ball. Kubel
followed by hitting a 2-1 pitch from Garland into the stands in
right-center to give the Twins a 4-1 lead.
"I went out there to give the team a chance to win and I threw
the ball well," Garland said. "It's a hard game -- things don't
always go your way. Hopefully the day you're out there they do, but
you have to get back on the mound and keep pushing."
Justin Morneau added an insurance run with an RBI triple off
Garland in the eighth.
The White Sox got on the board against Santana in the second
inning when Jermaine Dye doubled and scored on Cintron's RBI
Twins catcher Joe Mauer started his first game since Aug. 25 and
was 1-for-3 after being out with a left hamstring injury.
"He's 75 percent, as they say. He didn't run much. He put a
good swing on the ball and did a good job behind the plate,"
Gardenhire said. "You can just see the difference, the way the
game goes along."
Game notes
Dye had three hits. ... Before the game, the Twins
purchased the contract of C Matthew LeCroy from Triple-A Rochester.
To make room for LeCroy, the Twins placed C Jose Morales on the
60-day disabled list with a sprained left ankle. ... Santana has
reached double-digits in strikeouts six times this season.

I'm really looking forward to the A-88. Roland and Akai are the only controllers that feel good playing. Everything else on the market is kind of a squishy sponge, with varying degrees. The only other 88 key controller with that thin footprint was the M-Audio (that I knew of) and this looks to be a better built and featured product. Price??
31-Aug-12 04:40 PM
What's the story on aftertouch on these keyboards? Any chance of polyphonic aftertouch on the A-88? (I know the answer will probably be 'no' but come on, can someone make a new controller that provides the expressiveness once offered on old controllers so we don't have to buy a 10+ year-old piece of gear and hope it doesn't break down.)
31-Aug-12 07:19 PM
Bring back the A-80. These suck. Give us poly aftertouch. Mod wheels AND pitch lever. Why not? Instead of another dumbed down cookie cutter generic controller. There are musicians out there waiting in line for something good! Not this
02-Sep-12 02:04 PM
Too bad they didn't think to include the polyphonic aftertouch of the A-80 and A-50 keyboards. If, say, you want to use the polyphonic receptivity of Spectrasonics' Omnisphere, you'll just have to go to eBay to get one of those old keyboards, or an old Ensoniq, because these new boards won't fit the bill, apparently. Shame.
02-Sep-12 03:47 PM
Poly aftertouch would be amazing, but hell, I'd be willing to settle for channel aftertouch...

Arizona Predictions, Players of the Week
Wednesday, December 1, 11:00 p.m. PT
The last game is done, gone, buh-bye now, etc. So it really doesn't fit within the Win the Day mentality to comment on it after the fact. But it's been one of those weeks where Monday turns into Tuesday, which morphs into Wednesday, an so on, and you can't keep your head above water. The result is a blog post at 11 o'clock at night just to get it checked off the to-do list.
So without further delay, here are the Duck Feed predictions from the game played vs. Arizona on Nov. 26:
1. Josh Huff has a career day.
Correct. And somewhat of an understatement. The true frosh became the fifth different Duck to rush for 100 yards this season, bagging 103 on three carries. His 85-yard TD dash in the 3rd quarter was Oregon's longest play of the season was a "game-changer."
2. A Duck makes his debut.
Correct. Now batting... (batting). Number forty-one (forty-one)... Alejandro (Alejandro)... Maldonado (Maldonado)... If he's never been a baseball player, he should be with such a great name. But in this game, he served as Oregon's punter, filling in for an ailing Jackson Rice.
3. The Ducks score 39 or more points.
Correct. There was plenty of chatter following the Cal game that the Bears had created a blueprint for the college football world showing how to defend the Ducks. To which this prediction says, 'C'mon now.'
4. Arizona scores 17 points or less.
Incorrect. Okay, so you can't win them all. Take away the safety and the 'oops' coverage on the 85-yard passing TD from Foles to Criner and this pick wasn't that far off.
5. LaMichael James returns to the end zone.
Correct. This one almost felt like cheating. The odds of the nation's leading scorer being denied a touchdown for a second straight game were akin to winning Powerball.
Weekly mark: 4-1 (.800) • Season mark: 33-23 (.589)
The game has been played, the film has been studied, and the Oregon coaching staff has determined the team's top performers for Game No. 11. Following is a list of last week's game ball winners:
Offense: Darron Thomas (4 total touchdowns, 6 carries for 62 yards)
Defense: Terrell Turner (2 tackles, breakup) and Casey Matthews (8 tackles, breakup, QB hurry)
Special Teams: Avery Patterson (2 tackles on kick coverage)
Offensive Scout: Everett Benyard III
Defensive Scout: Troy Hill
Special Teams Scout: Isaac Ava

Our paladins pick up where they left off last episode, with the Queen poisoned. The paladins are tasked with finding an antidote to the queen's symptoms: seizing of the throat, unwakeable slumber, quickened breath blue lips, a fluttering heart, paled skin, large pupils, stiffened body, and skin like ice. The antidote: wolf hair, bat teeth, banshee blood and dragon tears. They venture into the forest to meet the Hag of Purgwal, AKA The Collector, who has a cauldron that's never stopped boiling for a thousand years. The ingredients are behind sealed doors (the hag apparently set these up in her spare time) which the paladins have to breach.
The first door is peeled open by tearing off layers of gunk on a lock, and the second is removed by sawing through a rope with an ogre's tooth. The next door requires tunneling under it. The last door requires bashing right through it. Andrew gets all the ingredients and mixes them together. Then, after running back to the castle, he personally administers it to the Queen. He is awarded the medal of wisdom from the Kingdom of Sanare.
Jim, Christian, and Bonnie have to meet the Fates. They must assemble the ingredients of a potion that causes the arms of a scale to float and not touch a golden ring. The first paladin to achieve this task is safe from banishment, with the remaining two voted on by the their fellow paladins. The three different ingredients are red, white and yellow. They're ground on a stone and then the powder is poured into the corresponding colored bowl, balanced so that the scale doesn't touch the golden ring. Bonnie finished first and is safe.
This leaves the vote down to Christian and Jim. Jim is voted off. The episode concludes with the castle under attack!

Leaf with too many portals
Okay, I'm not familiar with that one, but it probably means you have some complex areas that couldn't be divided properly by the compiler. Look for overlapping brushes, that sort of thing.
If anyone has any other suggestions I'll be glad to read them.
For a discussion of that error and possible solution, see this thread at the Quake3world.com editing forums.
[ June 09, 2001: Message edited by: Wilhuf ]
Ok, thanks Wilhuf.
Btw, Jedi Killer, no overlapping brushes that I could find.
Yo Wiluf, what is this VIS that they are talking about in the thread?
VIS-blockers? Blocks the VIS?
[ June 09, 2001: Message edited by: Ki-Adi-Mundi ]
And what does he mean by versioning my map.
If you think it would be better, I can go register on that forum really quick and present the problem there myself.
Somone help. Please?
Ki-Adi-Mundi, rather than posting three separate messages to this thread in a 3 minute span, you should use the edit function to just edit a single message. It eases the load time burden a bit. Thanks.
VIS is in reference to 'visibility.' I would recommend registering with the q3world forums as they have some real editing experience over there.

"aura migraines" AFTER a stroke?
I've tried to look this up on the web, but only find articles about how people who have aura migraines are at a greater risk for a stroke...
Has anyone else who's had a stroke, started getting auras/aura migraines AFTER the stroke??
I had it 3 times within the first few months of having my stroke. The first time it freaked me out, the "blind spot" in my vision that grew, the strange lines that seemed to zig zag in my vision... I went to the hospital, they gave me a CT scan, showed nothing, and the doctor said it was 'aura migraines'.....I'd never had any kind of migraine before in my life.
Well...here it's been about a YEAR since the last time I had one, and I just had another. It's mostly a vision disturbance for me...I do get a headache, but it's nothing MAJOR, like I would think a migraine would be...
this happen to anyone else??

Did Miley Cyrus and Benji Madden Hook Up at Halloween Bash?

Is a kiss just a kiss, even on Halloween?
An eyewitness tells PEOPLE that Miley Cyrus got hot and heavy with Good Charlotte guitarist Benji Madden at a party at West Hollywood nightclub Bootsy Bellows on Thursday night hosted by Adam Lambert. It was Lambert who brought Madden to Cyrus's table.
"They were really into each other," the eyewitness at the Ciroc-sponsored party said about Cyrus and Madden. "I saw them making out at one point, and his hand was on her legs the majority of the time. They were very touchy-feely."
Still, a source close to the "Wrecking Ball" singer, who came dressed as Lil' Kim – pasty and all – says it wasn't as hot and heavy as all that.
"Nothing happened between Miley and Benji," says the Cyrus source. "After being introduced at the club, they chatted but it wasn't romantic. They left the club with a group of people and went to a house party. Miley and Benji had fun together, but they didn't hook up."

"After Nicole and Joel gave their daughter the inventive name Harlow Winter Kate, there was much anticipation about what they would come up with for their second child – and they didn't disappoint with their new son's name, the equally unusual Sparrow James Midnight," Linda says.

In lieu of the traditional pickles and ice-cream combos demanded by some women, Madden tells PEOPLE's Celebrity Baby Blog that the expectant mama has kept her list short.
Unfortunately, the simple requests come at a high price: While her cravings may be limited to hamburgers from Southern California's In-N-Out chain, the sudden hunger pangs can occur any time – day or night.

With the baby's birth just nine weeks away Martin is only getting more excited. "We start Lamaze classes after Thanksgiving and the Alice In Wonderland nursery is ready to go."
Good Charlotte Remixes Their Way to a New Album

When it comes to Good Charlotte, everything old is new again – at least when their new album is concerned.
Good Charlotte Greatest Remixes calls on their deejay and producer friends to reinvent some of their original songs. Jay-E featuring The Game remixes "Fight Song," while Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump tries his hand at reinterpreting "Little Things." The album also features Metro Station's cover of "I Don't Want to Be in Love."
There will be some new music as well: the album will also feature the new single "War", which the band says reflects the current political situation. The song has lyrics like, "What about AIDS in Africa? Poverty? If it ain't about us, well I don't know."
The CD will be available Nov 25, but the band has already posted the track list and other information on their celebrity MySpace page.

Journalists reporting from the Ukraine have been live-tweeting throughout a Russian assault on the Belbek air base on March 22 under the hashtags #belbek and #ukraine. Ian Panell from the BBC has tweeted that the media were corralled during the attack.

Journalists reported that the Russian troops were attempting to seize memory cards and even subjected the media to being searched. Apparently, they did not want the afternoon's events to be reported, but thanks to social media, the news was already out in word and image.
Belbek was the last airbase that was still under Ukrainian control after the Russian takeover. The Christian Science Monitor reports that Russian troops entered the gates in armored personnel carriers with grenades and gunfire. Several reporters have tweeted that Col. Mamchur was taken prisoner after a stirring rendition of the Ukranian National Anthem.
While Twitter reports are often later shown to be preliminary in the assessment of events, this instant social media outlet still provides an amazing first-hand account in real time.

Bush-shrikes (Malaconotidae)
Bocage's Bush-shrike (Chlorophoneus bocagei) - HBW 14, p. 113
French: Gonolek à front blanc
German: Bocagewürger
Spanish: Bubú de Bocage
Other common names: Grey/Grey-green Bush-shrike
Taxonomy: Laniarius bocagei Reichenow, 1894, Yaoundé, Cameroon.
Genus sometimes subsumed in Malaconotus or in Telophorus; also, present species has been placed in Dryoscopus and Laniarius. May be closely allied with C. olivaceus. A specimen from Entebbe (Uganda), named as C. andaryae, was probably a hybrid between present species and C. sulfureopectus. Proposed race ansorgei (described from N'dalatando, in NW Angola), supposedly with slightly paler back, treated as synonym of nominate. Two subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- bocagei ( Reichenow, 1894) - SE Nigeria (Obudu Plateau) and S Cameroon S to NW Angola.
- jacksoni ( Sharpe, 1901) - NE & SC DRCongo, Uganda and W Kenya.

I need words; that's how I learn. It's much easier for me to process information that is written down, that I can look at again and again, while I'm learning a new task, skill or concept. Maybe that's why I like recipes.
This morning I was exploring a smartphone app that a friend had recommended. When I visited the website, there was almost no text: just a few graphics and an invitation to view a video that would make the whole thing clear to me.
The best way to get me NOT to try something is to offer to show me a video so I can learn how to use it.
I don't want to watch a video. Yes, the visual is there, but much of the information is presented through audio instructions. My sewing machine, similarly, didn't come with an instruction manual--instead, there was a DVD in the box. Great: I can watch a movie of a skilled seamstress making a tablecloth, but I have no idea how to thread the stupid machine.
If video is the way of the future, I won't be learning too many new things.
Some people like video; maybe you're one of them. Want to watch your videos on a new Android tablet? Now through Friday, you can get the Pandigital 8-inch tablet at a discounted price of just $79.99 at TigerDirect with coupon code IRI66010.

NFL preseason standings for 2014 provide an interesting look at how teams are shaping up. Though the NFL preseason is basically a glorified practice session, it can still show which direction certain teams are trending. As of Monday (Aug. 25), several teams have gotten off to slow starts that have fans and analysts discussing whether these red flags mean anything. On the opposite side of that, some teams are off to really hot starts, giving fans a lot of optimism as Week 1 of the regular season draws closer.
At the top of the heap, the New York Giants are 4-0 this preseason. Remarkably, the team has only out-scored its opponents by 20 points total (99-79), showing how close their games have been. The New Orleans Saints, Minnesota Vikings, and Baltimore Ravens are each 3-0 at this point. The defending AFC champion Denver Broncos are 2-1 and have out-scored their opponents 72-34. The defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks are also 2-1 and have out-scored their opponents 91-41. That one loss for the Seahawks came to the Broncos in Week 1 of the preseason.
At the opposite end of the 2014 NFL preseason standings are a few teams not living up to expectations. The Dallas Cowboys, Indianapolis Colts, and Cleveland Browns are all 0-3 so far. The Cowboys and Colts have big postseason hopes, while the Browns are still trying to figure out what role Johnny Manziel is going to play. It's also noteworthy that the 1-2 San Francisco 49ers have scored just 24 points total. An important question is whether this all means anything and one answer is that last season the Seahawks went undefeated at 4-0.

That first shot is a knock-out! And you have such a little beauty to practice with in #4! Very sweet shots, McM!
djnana · 2011-08-13: 18:15
I have no knowledge to give you advice. I can tell you my opinion. I like these pictures, they have a nice cut and facial expression is very natural.
I do not like the lights, which gave to the skin (especially hands), a cold color, almost unnatural.
Yesterday I found this link 101 Portrait Photography Tips maybe it can be useful.
Good luck Marjorie.
iso400 · 2011-08-13: 18:27
Portraits!! ughhh, I'm running away fast!! Still attempting to learn this myself.... I like the lighting and the way she is gazing at the flower in # 1... Photo 4, I really like how just a slight glimpse of her face is peeking out from behind her hair, so pretty! I know from what I have seen and read, I like candid shots, they are a lot more natural.... If your google in "tips for portraits" and or "candid shots" you will see a LOT of info. Have fun, you'll do great!!
????? · 2011-08-13: 19:04
You don't need luck Marjorie. You have a very artistic eye and I know you. You will arm yourself with all the info and experimentation you can prior to the shoot. It WILL be GREAT. Period.
liveandletlive · 2011-08-13: 19:59
Nice shots Marjorie. Personally I always struggle with portraits - they're definitely not my strong point. I have only two tips that I know work.
- Never let someone wear a hat in direct sunlight.
- If there's a mix of light and shade (like you've got here), use a fill-flash to even up the lighting.
Jarvo · 2011-08-13: 20:17
OH, I did my first official family portrait shoot last week and was scared to death! lighting lighting lighting and look up all the possible poses for a family of whatever size family you're shooting, I was really glad I did my homework on posing. Remember triangle shaped with Dad usually on top. They will expect you to know the poses and tell them how to stand. Be confident, you're an excellent photographer, you'll do excellent!! (oh, and take tons of shots)
ps, LOVE three, how precious!
????? · 2011-08-13: 22:03
I have no advice, but good news....you don't need it! These are great!
unblinkingeye · 2011-08-13: 23:12
I think you'll do just fine. Relax, breathe, and think.

Good luck! Great set!
????? · 2011-08-14: 00:09
only thing I've heard is don't over pose and use a low f-stop to blur the background. I'm sure you will do a great job and have lots of fun too! not to worry my friend
beth0110 · 2011-08-14: 00:38
I love this set... your daughter is lovely. Goodluck with your photoshoot. Hope to see some shots! You can do it and just enjoy!
lyricalthoughts · 2011-08-14: 00:41
Great set Marjorie, lovely to say at least.
The guide "Iso400" provided gives a bunch of great tips.
????? · 2011-08-14: 02:33
I am a beginner myself so just my two cents - the best portraits of my daughter (who is the victim in my case most of the time:)) were done, when we both felt good, had fun and just played:) The atmosphere of the moment is more important then anything for me:) I love to catch her when she is "speaking" with her eyes.
And be careful about the backround too - I ruined some photos when I did not pay attention to that:)
Good luck, Marjorie! Have fun !
Eiram · 2011-08-14: 04:00
Excellent set. In #3 you maybe could have enticed her to look into the camera and maybe smile with a little noise and a wink. If you put the camera on spot metering for the AF you can quickly focus on one of the subjects eyes which will allow you to open up the aperture a bit more. Good luck :)
yellodog · 2011-08-14: 07:20
Relax and have Fun....
ArtBee · 2011-08-14: 09:39
"YOKAI"is an excellent portrait photographer, perhaps he will give you some advice Marjorie!
ArtBee · 2011-08-14: 10:06
OOOOO get you with the dramatic first 2! i love these especially number 2 the lighting is perfecto!! i wish all the luck for your upcoming portrait shoot! i dont have any information to help you with as im rubbish but i would say to make them feel comfortable and have fun with it :) good luck :)
????? · 2011-08-14: 11:00
How exciting! I know you will do great! I agree with bilky about candid shots and have seen some professional shots where the photographer came into the home and while the shots were posed, they were still very candid looking, if that makes any sense! Can't wait to see/hear how it goes!
lukesmom · 2011-08-14: 11:11
Great shots Marj, and don't worry, you'll do great!!!
Just on little thing if i may.... as you don't have an external flash, try and reflect some light (the Styrofoam or foil comes in handy here) into her face, as Jon mentioned it will even out the shadows, and brighten up her face a little :-)
????? · 2011-08-14: 11:55
nice shots. Talking to the sitters and getting them to relax rather than pose should result in some natural looking shots. No nothing about the technicalities apart from not having them looking and squinting into the sun.
Lynda · 2011-08-14: 13:14
don't have anything to offer....but i know lighting is a key factor....these are beautiful though
Good Luck,You're A Great photographer~!~

Piers Morgan is about to find out if the grass is always greener on the other side. The CNN host announced that he's leaving the cable news network after four years of employment. On Tuesday, Morgan took to Twitter to post: "BREAKING NEWS: I am no longer a @CNN employee."
But this was not a firing. The four-year CNN alum added that he was offered a spot to host a series of interview specials for the network, but that he passed on the opportunity. "I was offered a new 2-year deal by @CNN boss Jeff Zucker to host 40 big interview 'specials,'" Morgan wrote. "But after considerable thought, I decided not to accept it - and to try pastures new."
Morgan's CNN program "Piers Morgan Tonight" debuted in 2011 and was canceled in March due to ratings struggles, but his contract with the network just expired. During his four years on the network, the British host made headlines for some of the controversial interviews that he did – and some that he didn't do.
Earlier this year, Morgan's interview with transgender writer and advocate Janet Mock sparked Twitter attacks aimed at the host by transgender activists and others who were upset over how he addressed Mock during the interview. Morgan's 2013 gun control debate with radio host Alex Jones had an irate Jones calling for the Brit host's deportation. And earlier this year, Chelsea Handler slammed Morgan for his interview style when she was a guest on his show. Us Weekly posted video of the sharp-tongued comedian busting Morgan for tweeting during a commercial break, and telling him, "You can't even pay attention for 60 seconds. You're a terrible interviewer. You have to pay attention to the guests that you invited on your show.… maybe that's why your job is coming to an end!"
Then there was the slew of interviews he didn't do. Shortly after the British journalist landed the high profile CNN gig, he famously banned Madonna from his show. Morgan told Britain's Daily Express the Grammy winning singer had been "an irritant in my life for the past 20 years." He them went on to say of the pop legend: "She is so boring. She is too vegan for TV. We have Lady Gaga now so Madonna is banned from my show."
The Hollywood Reporter also revealed a long list of other celebs Morgan banned from his show, including "America's Got Talent" judge Howie Mandel, whom he described as "too irritating," Paul McCartney's ex wife Heather Mills (Morgan actually introduced Mills to the Beatles legend back in 1999, but now dubs her "one of the world's great gold diggers"), MSNBC's Keith Olbermann, and Cherie Blair, the wife of former British prime minister Tony Blair.
Morgan hasn't announced what he'll do next, but those pastures new await.

New law prohibits pointing lasers at aircraft
When a police helicopter was flying overhead searching for a criminal suspect in Virginia Beach, Christopher Willingham did something he now acknowledges was "stupid": He pointed a green laser at the helicopter – temporarily blinding the pilot and halting the search.
That stunt was not only stupid – it was illegal: Willingham was charged with a felony under a federal law that prohibits pointing a laser at an aircraft. In January, Willingham pleaded guilty to interfering with the authorized operation of an aircraft and is scheduled for sentencing this week.
Willingham was prosecuted under federal law because there was no applicable state law. That will change on July 1, when a new Virginia law kicks in.
The Virginia General Assembly passed the legislation – House Bill 87 – during its 2012 regular session. Gov. Bob McDonnell signed it into law on March 30.
The bill, proposed by Delegate Barry Knight, R-Virginia Beach, states, "Any person who knowingly and intentionally projects a point of light from a laser, laser gun sight, or any other device that simulates a laser at an aircraft is guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor." A Class 1 misdemeanor is punishable by up to 12 months in jail and a $2,500 fine.
The bill will be added to an existing state law that forbids interfering with the operation of an aircraft. Under that law, if the interference endangers the life of the pilot or anybody else, it's a Class 6 felony, punishable by up to five years in prison.
Willingham, 28, was convicted for flashing a laser pointer at a Virginia Beach police helicopter from his backyard near Naval Air Station Oceana around midnight on Nov. 1. The helicopter was assisting ground units in pursuing someone who had run from a traffic stop.
The pilot suffered temporary blindness from the laser strike, and so the co-pilot assumed control of the helicopter.
The pilots flew over Willingham's residence. He ran back into the house, came back out and then continued to point the laser at the helicopter, according to Neil MacBride, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia. When police arrived, Willingham confessed to flashing the laser pointer at the aircraft.
He pleaded guilty in January. Afterward, at a news conference at Oceana, Willingham apologized and warned the public against pointing lasers at aircraft. "It's very dangerous," he said. "A lot of people don't understand how dangerous it is."
Willingham's case is not an isolated incident.
According to the Federal Aviation Administration, there were about 3,600 laser strikes nationwide last year, including 98 in Virginia. Willingham was the first person to be convicted of a felony in a laser-pointing case in the Eastern District of Virginia.
Naval Air Station Oceana reported 13 laser incidents last year. Oceana expressed its concern about the strikes to Virginia Beach officials, who then asked Knight to propose the legislation to protect naval and police pilots.
Another impetus for the legislation was a loophole in an existing law found by the cities of Virginia Beach and Chesapeake. The law stated that shining a bright light at aircraft was illegal but did not specifically cover laser pointers.
Knight said he was also influenced by personal experience. He is a licensed helicopter pilot who has been in a similar situation.
"I have had a bright light shined into my eyes probably on accident. It was very dark; a boater shot it, and it temporarily blinded me," Knight said. "Your eyes can't refocus for 20 seconds or so, and that can be disastrous when you're flying along at low levels and fast."
Even though a laser's beam is small in diameter close-up, it widens by several inches over greater distances. Also, imperfections in the glass of a plane's windshield cause the beam to expand even more within the cockpit. The stronger the laser, the more amplified the effect.
Capt. Bob Geis of the Naval Air Station Oceana said laser strikes make landing particularly dangerous.
"It's a busy phase of flight for the pilot, so distractions at this time are particularly bad," Geis said.
He sees the new law as an opportunity to spread the word about a practice that "can be blinding either temporarily or permanently."
Many people like Willingham may not know the full danger of laser strikes for pilots, Geis said. He said Willingham "was very apologetic; he didn't have any idea how much damage he would cause with the laser he had. He was just goofing around and had no idea of the magnitude of what would happen."
Willingham is scheduled to be sentenced Friday. He faces up to 20 years in prison. He is hoping for a lighter sentence because of his apology and his cooperation with authorities.

Advertise in our Playbill
Invest in the Arts and Gain Valuable Exposure
NCRT is a small, non-profit organization with one mission: to provide quality live theatre at reasonable cost to members of our North Coast community. Like many non-profits, we could not exist without the generosity of our patrons, volunteers, and staff. As the climate shifts from public to private funding of the arts, many groups have been unable to survive. We find ourselves with an ever-increasing need to find creative ways to raise our curtains. A typical show involves donations of props, concessions, and hard work from our 99% volunteer staff. Our ticket sales cover only half of our expenses, so we rely on ad sales in our playbill to help keep our doors open.
Advertising allows you to invest in the arts and realize a return on your investment. Your ad in our playbill will be placed in the hands of approximately 7000 patrons of our theatre. Your ad will run the entire year, from September through August. We hope you will consider supporting the North Coast Repertory Theatre in this way. Help keep live theatre alive on the North Coast!

In Common
inCommon is the Davenport Institute's Participatory Governance Blog. It explores the latest resources, studies, programs and discussions about Civic Engagement in California, throughout the nation and around the world in order to answer questions about what civic engagement looks like and why it is important for good governance, particularly at the local level.
Golden Governance
Golden Governance is a joint project of the Davenport Institute for Public Engagement and Civic Leadership at the Pepperdine University School of Public Policy and the National Conference on Citizenship (NCoC). In difficult economic times, cities, towns and counties across California are rethinking how they tackle some of their toughest challenges. The result is a new collaborative approach to governance, which includes greater public participation in decision-making and service delivery. This blog offers a place where local leaders and community members from around California can share their Stories of Success as they work together in new ways to provide services and solve problems.
Big Society Watch
Big Society Watch keeps readers up-to-date on highlights of the ideas, programs and controversies surrounding British Prime Minister David Cameron's "Big Society" agenda. His plan to de-centralize services to the local level of government and supplement government service provision with citizen engagement activities is ambitious. Can it also be successful? What does the success or failure of the Big Society in Great Britain imply for civic engagement efforts and local government programs in the USA?
Government 2.0 Watch
Government 2.0 Watch offers a one-stop resource for information relating to how governments around the world use social media, geolocation, mobile apps and other technological innovations to interact with their residents. Are these tools offering new opportunities for civic engagement? Are they changing the way residents view their role in local government, creating new opportunities for citizen involvement? Or are they cementing old ideas of citizens as customers by facilitating the delivery of government services?
