Coming off a phenomenal 14 city tour in Spain, the Chicago Mass Choir will begin the New Year honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King. In celebration of the Dr. Martin Luther King Holiday, the Chicago Mass Choir will head to Wisconsin to join other artists from the Midwest for a live concert. On, Saturday, January 18th, the Chicago Mass Choir will sing during the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Celebration Gospel Concert at Carthage College Siebert Chapel located at 2001 Alford Park Drive in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The doors will open at 3pm and the concert will begin at 4pm.
Sponsored by Carthage College and Gateway Technical College, the Gospel Concert will celebrate Dr. King, who was a profound theologian, scholar, author and community leader. Dr. King's legacy of excellence, non-violence and justice is promoted and practiced in many communities around the world. Similar to the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, the Chicago Mass Choir has promoted excellence in the community since 1988 through outreach, education and donations to several non-profit organizations. The Chicago Mass Choir is grateful for the opportunity to honor Dr. King with their music and dedication. Chicago Mass Choir President/CEO, Dr. Feranda Williamson expressed the importance of remembering Dr. King's life and contributions:
"It is very important that we NEVER forget the contributions of the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. King's commitment to equality allows us to be able to vote, attend any school in the United States and other rights that African Americans were restricted as citizens of the United States. The ironic point is that it has been within the last 49 years since the passing of the bill that gave all citizens of the United States the right to register and vote. Just thank God for Dr. Martin Luther King and today being able to enjoy the DREAM of equality that is now a reality."
For more information on the Celebration Gospel Concert visit: www.gtc.edu/mlkchoir
Chicago Mass Choir Presents XV-Live CD/DVD is available in stores and online.

Get out to the polls tonight, Denver, and vote for your Denver Nuggets over the Detroit Pistons in a landslide.
It's the Nugs' home opener and hoo-boy do they need win. Beyond that, they need some swaggar. Like them, the Pistons come into tonight's game 0-3. They're the ideal prey at the ideal time for a Nuggets team that showed us on Saturday night in Miami that they can play with the league's best. Denver faded down the stretch and made some bonehead mistakes, but gave Lebron and his Heat all they could take. There were more positive signs than negative in that game.
If it comes together tonight, and the Nuggets win by ten or more, everyone in Nuggets Nation will feel just a little bit better.
And besides, no matter what happens at the polls today, about half of them will need something to smile about.

TC TO HENRY INGLIS; 11 April 1833; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18330411-TC-HI-01; CL 6:368.
4. King Street, Thursday [11 April 1833]
My Dear Sir,
I find now that I am not engaged for tonight anywhere; and that my Wife has as it were lent me out for tomorrow evening (and I believe you too, if you do not refuse) to a Lecture of Phrenologist Combe's1 on Female Education,—price only sixpence.
The two questions therefore arise: Can you receive me tonight at half past seven; and come yourself tomorrow at six? Answer the first in the affirmative, and we can settle the second at meeting. A verbal Yes will do. I should like very well to see your friend Colquhoun2 also if you will take him and can get him.
Ever faithfully, /

The future of Star Wars Gaming
*apologies in advance for repeating this post in multiple forums, but I NEED feedback!*
You know, I started sort of a rant in this thread about Star Wars games in general, and I felt this would be a thread worthy discussion about the material that exists in Star Wars games, and a good place for some positive/negative feedback.
Basically I wanted to clearify, that I don't HATE the current SW titles already on the market, but I wanted to point out that what I feel really SELLS Star Wars games is the relationship between elements of the movies and the action that follows. Honeslty, the best parts of Dark Forces, were running around and fragging Stormtroopers, and interacting with characters and creatures that appeared in the original films such as Boba Fett, and Jabba The Hutt. I'm not saying the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight series had "bad" story elements, but in the end, what made the games fun was being in that Star Wars universe and feeling like your in one of the movies.
First SW game I really ENJOYED was Super Star Wars for SNES . The first time I ran the trench battle at the end of the game, I truly felt like Luke, and after several failures I literally closed my eyes before fireing the torpedoes into the mine shaft, and finally won the game. I was so exited, I literally had a beer party that night in celebration! Friends of mine were so HOOKED on that game. Now granted, it WAS a side scroller, that involved ALOT of TEDIOUS platform jumping, but all in all, for the time, the game was seriously fun, and did the best they could to capture the exitement and pace of the original movies.
Lets face it, alot of the games currently out there are basically clones of games that have already been released. (and some were done alot better to a certain degree.
Jedi Outcast/ Jedi Academy is Quake III with lightsabers.
Galactic Battlegrounds is Age Of Kings II with Star Wars elements.
Star Wars Battlefront is going to be 1942 with Star Wars Elements.
Starfighter/Jedi Starfighter/Rouge Squadron is well.....a flight sim! Flight sims have been around for almost 2 decades!
Even Republic Commando is going to be a FPS based on Unreal technology.
Star Wars Galaxies is basically Everquest, and (arguably) contains Star Wars Elements.
This may get me into some trouble with any wandering member of LucasArts, but I personally feel that there are WAY TOO many titles based on characters from Episodes 1, and 2, and let's face it, not too many of them were too popular amongst serious gamers.
What we want and need is a game that is actually based on the Originally Trilogy, that uses actual characters from The Original Trilogy that utilizes something other than technology that is already been done in other games. Something that has smoothe graphics, and has the same nostalgic feel of the Super NES Star Wars games, without having it be a side scrolling platform jumper. Have characters do what they do in the movies! Don't have Darth Vader fly out from over a cliff and shoot you full of lightning bolts!
I'm not a game designer, but I just know that the Star Wars game I been looking for, has never been released. The best parts of the games that were out there, I only enjoyed, because for a split second or so, I felt like I was in one of the original films.
Even my favorite part of Jedi Outcast, was NOT the SP game, but on MP, where I downloaded maps and models that were based on the movies, and tried to re-create those scenes!
Am I alone on this idea, or is the need and want for a new game based on the original movies long over due?
I open this for discussion, and again, this is not to trash LucasArts, or any of the games being released, it's just an area for some much needed feedback on all the games in general
Well, personally I am glad that several of the games deviate from the path of the movies, and rather expand on the universe that we know and love. Because, after all, there is only so much you can do if you stick directly to the plot and characters of the movies.
For example I loved how X-Wing Alliance (a flight sim aye, but not your average kind) only crossed paths with the plot of the movies a few times throughout the game. It instead showed you just how many bothans died to bring the Rebels that information, just how that imperial shuttle had been stolen. And that while telling the tale of a family trading company like there probably are many in the SW galaxy, and struck by a fate that could have occured to other companies and families too I'm sure.
So it managed to tell an exciting story WITHOUT having to resort to having the main characters from the movie take the spotlight.
Similar to the adventures of Kyle Katarn (and student), why the most exciting aspect for me about Jedi Academy was to create my own little character within that galaxy far far away and have him/her go through a day in the life of a new republic Jedi.
So to me the most exciting Star Wars games are possibly those that expand on the universe rather than taking you down a path we've already gone through before, just more interactive.
And heck, the upcoming Republic Commando will allegedly even partially re-invent the SW universe and make it more gritty, dark and mature than what we're used to of the prequel movies. And I like the aspect of seeing our beloved universe from "a different point of view" to put it in Obi-Wan terms.
I can appreciate both sides of this coin. You are correct in saying that LA has been drifting away from the OT in its games and simply remaking other games, but in the SW universe. I won't be surprised to one day see a SW Pac-Man game come out or even on old "asteroids" version with the Millennium Falcon. But, on the other hand of the devil's advocate, I also enjoy playing as the little known side characters of SW and SW:EU. That is what makes SW great and so large. Ultimately it's what feeds the beast of the fan base.
I see your points and I do feel there is enormous potential for a computer game based on the OT but using SSW on the NES as an example of the way it should be is a bit iffy. We all know that computer games based to run along the tracks set by movies are always cack so it'd be interesting to see something that can pull off the OT in one lovely little gaming experience without overly copying another game.
Ummm, Darth, you have to realize that Star Wars games are just using different kinds of genres. Just because Battlefront is a shooter game, it's NOT 1942. Also, the only one that's close enough to another game that you could actually protest is Galactic Battlegrounds being like Age Of Kings, but the box CLEARLY STATES it uses the AOK system, so it's not like they're denying it- it's a mod! But then again, this topic is a year old, so I wouldn't be surprised if this guy doesn't even come here anymore.
How cool would a Lando game be? Seriously.
^ Not very. Lando was a weak character, IMO. I like Billy Dee Williams, but I'm not a fan of Lando (the SOB betrayed Han:p)
Just reading the Thrawn trilogy made me like Lando loads. He has LOTS of cool character points, maybe a game seeing how he got the Falcon and his adventures in it would be good.
I wouldn't complain. Playing as Lando would be awesome. Maybe they could have saabac mini games, or something. Of course, that would depend on the genre, but it would still be cool to have him as a main character.

Pssst! We wanted to let you in on a contest going on at our sister site, Everybody Loves Coupons. They're giving away $500 worth of gift cards to one lucky blogger - all you have to do is write a 500 word post about how you'd treat your sweetheart with a $500 budget. We're bummed we can't enter, but Mitchy put together her own plans of how she'd spend that money on an epic dream date.
Hmm, hmm, how to spend $500 for my dearest? Rather than just shower him with gifts, I think I'd have to make it a joint gift in the form of an extra awesome date. Our dates typically involve sharing an entrée and then pretending we'll find something that interests us in the movie listings and instead retreating back home to watch something streaming on Netflix - not that I'm complaining. But if I had a big ol' budget to spend I'd have to make it a daylong event. First we'd drive out from Los Angeles to see some sort of silly roadside attraction, like the dinosaurs in Cabazon (they were in Pee Wee's Big Adventure, and we took our wedding pictures there - aww, aren't you grossed out). But it's kind of a long drive there and back, so I'd spring for some new music from iTunes. Actually, I might even upgrade our iPod from our almost-retro one with the black and white screen since I know I'll have a hard time blowing the Benjamins (that's what she said?).
I'd spare my husband the trip to the outlet mall that's conveniently located nearby (this is supposed to be romantic for us, not a chore for him) and instead head back to the city. Why not check out a museum? It would be a big debate between even more dinosaurs at the Natural History museum or the county art museum, so why not both? From there, we'd find a bite to eat; I'm leaning towards something casual and reliable like Thai food instead of some frou-frou set Valentine's dinner. I briefly considered springing for something like renting out an old-timey movie theater and watching a favorite film, but quickly realized that was going to max out my budget and then some. Instead, I'd cross my fingers for a cool double feature (sort of like that time The Egyptian played Blue Velvet and Fire Walk With Me zomg but anyway).
How to top off the night? I'm tempted to take the easy route and say "let's get a hotel" because I know that we'd be entirely exhausted and cranky at this point. But that money's burning a hole in my pocket, so we'd better scope out the nightlife. I'm sure there are plenty of refined ways we could spend the evening, but I'm much fonder of the downright ridiculous. And why go to the theater when West Hollywood has such a fine selection of drag shows to attend? And again, why argue about which one? We'll be attending drag queen bingo at Hamburger Mary's as well as Showgirls in Drag, which is exactly what it sounds like. We'd spend the rest on cocktails, but save just enough to get us a cab home and back, 'cause we sure aren't driving anymore. Who says married people don't have fun?
Mitchy here: I'd be happy to never put on another pair of pants. What this means for you is that I love all kinds of dress shopping - especially cute patterned dresses and party dresses. I also love colorful apparel and jewelry as well as vintage-styled home decor. Other things I don't usually put on resumes: expert cat wrangler, road tripper, and connoisseur of bad movies.

"NCIS: Los Angeles" season 5 continued Tuesday, Feb. 4, with episode 14, "War Cries," which was just another example of why this may end up being the show's best season yet.
This "NCIS: LA" episode was one of the season's strongest. While we'd prefer to see the entire team on the same continent, Kensi's mission in Afghanistan has become more and more intriguing, to the point that it could have overshadowed the rest of the episode. Instead, the team revisited a storyline we'd been hoping they would sooner rather than later, making for a very solid episode overall. The nature of the case allowed for them to show what Nell can do outside of Ops, and Granger was highlighted in a way that resulted in what was his best episode yet.
Back when "Impact" aired at the beginning of this season, we noted that they still had to catch the major players when the job was done for the day, and it was good to see D7 come back into play, complete with a quick recap for those who may have forgotten that case wasn't closed. It was just "another day at the office" for the LA team, as Sam and Callen ended up getting prostitutes away from their pimp (or "agent," as he called himself), Deeks helped a prostitute keep her job by lying and telling her boss she helped take down a counterfeiting ring, and Deeks revealed a new game: Gun Twister.
Two former D7 guys were found dead, and the team was led to Robert Brown, formerly D7. Unlike his former coworkers, he wasn't working for the new D7, Durendell Securities, but people wanted him dead. When they brought him in, he said bad stuff went down in Afghanistan and wanted protection, which he didn't think they could give him since D7 had the Defense Department in their back pocket and half of the Pentagon on speed dial. However, when Deeks and Granger (he of the facial hair that made him look like a pirate, according to Eric) intercepted a Durendell employee breaking into Brown's house, we got what was maybe the best Granger moment yet as he fired next to the guy's ear and threatened to put the next bullet in his head for answers. It turned out Brown was a psycho who had killed three women in Afghanistan…and they had left Nell to watch him.
As we've seen before, Nell can take care of herself, and she did, stabbing him several times even as he had control of the gun and an arm around her throat, but it was a good thing Sam and Callen arrived when they did. "Not bad for an analyst," Granger commented of one of the strange meerkats he thought could use a window or an exercise wheel earlier in the episode.
Meanwhile, Kensi's arc in Afghanistan just kept getting more and more interesting, meaning we became more and more worried for her, especially with what we saw from Hetty and Granger in "War Cries." While Granger told Deeks Kensi was "doing good" in Afghanistan (and turned down his offer to use is vacation time to back her up), he did wonder why Hetty insisted on sending her and didn't buy it when she said he needed someone he could trust. There seemed to be more to Granger asking Nell and Eric and then Deeks if they had been in communication with her, and his "not really" when Deeks asked if there was anything he ended to know spoke volumes.
As for Kensi's mission, Booker has grown on us as a character, and with Kensi suspecting Sabatino, we can't help but wonder if she should be looking into Booker. The signs did seem to point to Sabatino. What exactly happened when he and the previous sniper were out there? Who were the three men in local attire he met with? Why was he pulled from the Sidorov case? There was something (maybe more like a few somethings) very sketchy about Sabatino.
Finally, since the episode's descriptions revealed that Sam was setting Callen up on a blind date, we got some classic Sam and Callen banter, though the ending wasn't a surprise at all, and it played out exactly like we expected it to: Sam and Michelle "couldn't make it" but their friends stayed anyway for dinner. We did like Callen and Joelle together in that short scene, and while it would be nice for Callen to get a chance at happiness, will it be with her? Will he (and we) even see her again? Only time will tell.
"NCIS: Los Angeles" season 5 airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on CBS. What did you think of episode 14 "War Cries"?

" Police on Long Island are investigating whether the woman who robbed a Chase bank Wednesday morning is the same one who robbed another bank last week.
Suffolk County Police said a woman wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses walked into a Chase bank branch at 169 Orinoco Drive in Brightwaters at about 11:50 a.m. She handed the teller a note demanding cash, then fled with the money, police said.
The robber was described as being in her 40s, with brown hair and a medium build. She was wearing a Mets baseball cap, dark sunglasses, a light blue zip-up sweatshirt and jeans, police said.
Investigators are looking to establish whether it was the same woman who robbed the Babylon branch of People's United Bank last Tuesday. In that robbery, she was wearing a green jacket, a white cap and sunglasses "

It used to be if an artist allowed one of their songs to be used in an ad, it was on the condition that the commercial was screened only in darkest Kyrgyzstan.
Now there are hundreds of different platforms to showcase a song and very few, if any, artists or bands think becoming a brand ambassador or having their music appear in a PlayStation game or as part of the storyline in a TV series is beneath them.
What's that thing about waiting for a bus? You wait ages and then along comes....It's been kind of like that for music on TV lately. Just when you thought production companies and TV commissioners had given up on pop, a raft of new music offerings suddenly rock up.
Every recording artist wants to leave the studio with a remarkable piece of work and they'll go to extraordinary lengths to ensure their music sounds exactly as they intended. But for many fans listening to the end result, a hefty slice of audio quality has been lost in the rush for convenience. Last week, in Abbey Road studios, there was a strong feeling that the tide is turning.
At our Sound Open Day – the third of our annual Open Day events - our panel debated sound quality and if it still had an importance. Here's the video from the evening so you can hear exactly what the panel had to say.
Many commentators have had a go at predicting which technology trends are going to be big this year, but what about the in-house futurologists at Universal Music?
So pop is popular. And it got even more popular last year. But not every A&R in town is salivating over today's BPI stats or sweating about how they can emulate Emeli or deliver Del Rey lite
Brian Rose, Managing Director - Commercial Division UK & Ireland, recently signed off on a ground-breaking deal to sell CDs in Primark. He discusses how music and fashion can become the perfect retail partners and also how new digital music services, smart-phones and tablets will make this Christmas Day a high-water mark in digital downloads.
It was no surprise that Paul Weller slammed David Cameron for mistaking the message behind The Eton Rifles when the Prime Minister claimed the 1979 Jam track was his favourite song. Taking an anti-establishment stance is a common position for many musicians from Bob Marley to the Sex Pistols because finding yourself championed by the powers-that-be is an instant credibility reducer.
Copyright might not be as exciting as Gaga's stage costumes or as mind blowing as a live show by the Stones, but it is an important cog in the life of an artist.
After a decade of intense lobbying, the Live Music Act became law this week, removing the raft of red tape and bureaucracy imposed by the Licensing Act 2003.

Feb. 10, 2004
UCLA's women's track & field head coach Jeanette Bolden on Friday (Feb. 13) will receive the U. S. Sports Academy's 2004 C. Vivian Stringer Coaching Award. Bolden will receive the award, the U. S. Sports Academy's highest annual women's coaching honor, from the organization's president, Dr. Thomas P. Rosandich, at a ceremony in the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame at 10:30 a.m.
Bolden, in her 11th year as head coach and 13th on the staff, has established the Bruins as one of the nation's elite indoor and outdoor collegiate women's track & field programs. At the national level, she led UCLA to back-to-back NCAA Indoor Championships in 2001/2002 (the Bruins' first-ever women or men's indoor crowns) and a second-place indoor finish in 2002. At the NCAA Outdoor, UCLA has ten Top 10 finishes, including five second-place finishes (2002-01-99-98-95).
In the Pac-10 Conference, Bolden has directed the Bruins to nine league team titles in the last 10 years, including the last seven consecutive seasons.
In her 10 seasons as the Bruin head coach, UCLA has an unbeaten dual record of 69-0. In eight of those 10 seasons, UCLA has been named the nation's top dual meet team, including seven of the last eight seasons.
Recognized as one of the top female track & field coaches in the nation, Bolden has been named the U. S. Track Coaches Association West Region Women's Coach of the Year on eight occasions, including the last seven years in a row. In the Pac-10, she has been named the conference Women's T & F Coach of the Year on nine occasions, including the last seven consecutive years.
"I would like to thank Dr. Thomas P. Rosandich and the Board of Trustees of the U. S. Sports Academy for selecting me as the 2004 recipient of the C. Vivian Stringer Coaching Award," said Bolden. "I humbly accept this award with great pride and gratitude. It is fulfilling to be recognized by such an award for my work as a coach and educator to the UCLA Women's Track & Field program. Thank you again for honoring me with this award."
Past winners of this prestigious women's coaching honor, established in 2002, have been Amy Ruley (2002), highly successful women's basketball coach at North Dakota State and Sarah Patterson (2003), legendary women's gymnastics coach at Alabama.
The C. Vivian Stringer Coaching Award is presented to a woman who has experienced outstanding achievement as a coach. This person should exhibit a high standard of propriety, imagination and innovation as a character-builder in the tradition of great teacher-coaches.
The award is named after C. Vivian Stringer, who is in her 10th season as the head women's basketball coach at Rutgers. In her 33rd year as a head coach, Stringer was inducted into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in 2001. The fourth winningest coach in women's basketball, Stringer is the only coach in women's or men's basketball to take three different schools to the NCAA Final Four (Rutgers 2000, Iowa 1993, Cheyney 1982).
The U. S. Sports Academy presents awards each year, including its Awards of Sport program, to pay tribute to those who have made significant contributions to sport, in categories as diverse as the artist and the athlete in several different arenas of sport. The awards have expanded over the years to honor exemplary achievement in coaching, all-around athletic performance, courage, humanitarian activity, fitness and media, as well as the top professional athletes of the year.
The C. Vivian Stringer Coaching Award is part of the U. S. Academy's Medallion Series, recognizing achievement in the various categories of sport, ranging from the sport artist to the disabled athlete, with many levels of recognition in between. Recipients are selected according t o the process outlined for each award. The final ballot is prepared by the Academy Club, the Cabinet and presented to the Board of Trustees for ratification.
The United States Sports Academy is an independent, non-profit, special mission graduate school of sport dedicated to serving this nation and the world through programs of instruction, research and service. The Academy has a rich history of addressing the need to provide quality, sport-specific programs. The Academy is located in Daphne, Alabama, on the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay.

This is a Book about my First daughter who sadly died shortly after she was born 10 Weeks early.
The Book is written like the diary of the child .
It starts with the pregnancy and goes through until she was born and what happened after her death.
By the time she was born, a child of up to 500 gram was not a human, but clinical waste.
That was the reason she could not be buried, as the hospital did not release her body.
I was born in November 1965 in Saarbrücken/Germany. After my Exams at School I did Collage for Retail and Sales. In 1983 I did my exams at Collage and worked for 5 years in my Parents Orthopedic Shop. In 1988 I felt like going back to College and gaining a Diploma in Chiropody and Podiatry. After I had my Diploma I started my own Podiatry and Chiropody Practice. In 1994 I met my husband and moved away with him. Out of boredom I went back to College and started Advertisement and Marketing Studies. I worked for a wile as an Art Director. When my boss sold his business up I went back to College again and did Studies in HR . I started working in a Recruitment Company where I stayed until 2003. In Summer 2003 I moved with my family to Scotland. I enjoy cooking and baking for family and friends, but I also enjoy walks along the beach and watching the wildlife along the coast.

IShares Wants To Be Indexing Company Too
BlackRock Inc.'s (BLK) iShares unit operates exchange-traded funds that track dozens of indexes from well-known companies like Standard & Poor's and MSCI Inc. Now, the investment manager wants to create some of those benchmarks itself.
IShares, which controls slightly less than half the $1 trillion invested in U.S. ETFs, filed Thursday with the Securities and Exchange Commission for clearance to offer iShares ETFs that track potential proprietary BlackRock indexes, something it has never done before. The move could one day affect the firm's licensing deals with existing index providers. In the near term, it will give iShares additional flexibility to launch new types of ETFs at a time when the industry is looking to expand beyond simply finding narrower and narrower ways to slice up stock and bond markets.
While some investment managers now offer actively managed ETFs, the vast majority of ETFs follow benchmarks designed to represent different corners of the market, like large-cap stocks or utilities. Traditionally U.S. regulators required funds to track indexes overseen by independent third parties to avoid possible conflicts of interest. More recently, firms like WisdomTree Investments have won permission to launch ETFs tied to their own benchmarks. Such funds typically take extra steps to ensure transparency, such as publicly disclosing rules their benchmarks are based on.
IShares's latest move is a bid to launch funds along the lines of WisdomTree's model, which can mean more flexibility to design funds based on novel investment concepts rather than specific areas of the market. One possibility for iShares: A slate of ETFs that would mix stock and bond holdings to target a certain yield, say 3%, rather than more conventional income strategies like holding a portfolio of dividend stocks or bonds with a certain maturity.
Another option could be to tweak bond ETFs, partly addressing issues these vehicles face in rocky markets, when they can appear to deviate from traditional benchmarks.
In the long run, iShares' move could pose a threat to well-known index providers, which reap millions of dollars each year in licensing deals with ETFs. While a possibility, that day is likely still a ways off. Both iShares and its parent, BlackRock, have become widely recognized financial brands. But getting customers to embrace an ETF that tracked a BlackRock U.S. large-cap stock index or BlackRock developed-country index, rather than the S&P 500 or the MSCI EAFE, which many large investors use to measure their own performance, could be a tough sell.
Spokesmen for S&P and MSCI declined to comment.
IShares recent move is the first step in a two-part process, during which it will first apply for generic permission to launch funds based on its own indexes, then later file to clear specific funds to operate this way. From start to finish, such approvals can take more than a year.

In Oklahoma there are people who have trouble being a decision maker; often pawn decisions to those around them. Some Oklahomans are decisive, able to make decisions immediate or contemplative. Many Oklahomans consider being decisive wholesome; others want someone else to blame. Most Oklahomans agree decisions made today can affect the way one's life grows, for good or ill.
Even the most minor decision can bring happiness, or sorrow. One's current life comes from their past decisions. Tabling a decision for later could determine a person's lifestyle. This is as important for it could generate unexpected life consequences.
Oklahomans realize the importance of decisions. Many take a long time because they do not want to "mess up" or "make the wrong decision." In some cases taking one's time could cause difficulty for there are times when a quick decision is best. Oftentimes it is not easy to tell which type is the right choice; especially regarding a serious matter or a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Applying virtues in decision making can be beneficial. Virtues like courage, truth, honor, fidelity, discipline, hospitality, self-reliance, industriousness and perseverance can assist with making a wiser decision. Making certain the decision is in harmony with these virtues, can lead one toward a kinder outcome in one's life; bringing greater joy.
Decisions where honesty and kindness are applied can further develop life positives. Later decisions usually are based on one's decision-making precedence. Each person is a decision maker in their life. A minor can make a decision that affects their life's outcome. Each decision matters for that which is chosen today becomes important tomorrow.
There are decisions that do not seem to impact negatively until made. Many Oklahomans warn their children about hasty or dishonest decisions that lead one down regrettable paths. Maintaining a positive outlook can augment one's ability to decide; deliver a superior quality of decision making for a happier life.
No man can afford to express, through words or acts, that which is not in harmony with his own belief. --- Napoleon Hill, The Law of Success
All wise decisions are in harmony with one's beliefs. An individual's belief system can determine how they decide. Taking this into account is crucial.
Employers and employees should consider during the hiring process if they are in ethical accord. Employers using a different set of principles than the hired employees' can cause misunderstandings and discord. This does not mean employer and employee must be the same religion. Those in the workplace can share different spiritual paths yet follow similar moral codes leading to a harmonious work environment.
Decisions also affect how one feels. A bad decision can make one feel awful; possibly generate health challenges from the inner turmoil. It is best to make certain each decision made is correct for one. Knowing the extreme importance each decision brings one is a key factor for having a happy life, presently and tomorrow. Enjoy the day!

Designed by Michael Graves & Associates, the National Automobile Museum of the Netherlands has just finished. The 185,000-square-foot building contains temporary and permanent exhibition galleries, a reception hall, conference facilities, an auditorium, food service facilities, and workshops for conservation and repair of cars.
A gift to the people of the Netherlands, the Louwman Collection is a public showcase of selections from collector Evert Louwman's extraordinary vintage automobile collection. In addition, the National Automobile Museum of the Netherlands is home to the world's largest collection of automotive art. The museum's simple design vocabulary and massing compliment it's historic surroundings.
Located on a sensitive site near the Queen's Palace in beautiful Den Haag. Steeply sloped peaked roofs and dormers, characteristic of traditional Dutch architecture, give the building's exterior the visual aspect of a typical pre modern carriage house, while breaking down the scale of the overall composition to be sympathetic to a nearby residential district. The brickwork of the facades, laid in a basket-weave pattern interspersed with projecting bricks, creates textural interest within the otherwise planar surfaces, and is complemented by bluestone detailing and slate roofs.
Inside, the Great Hall—a large barrel vaulted space creates an east-west spine through the building, separating the double-height volume of the exhibit area from the lower scaled U shaped public spaces that define the entry court. To the rear of the site, a small octagonal pavilion used as a special gallery is located along the axis of an existing allée of trees in Haagsche Bos park. A quiet, contemplative space well suited to it's site, the pavilion gracefully exerts a formal but tranquil presence on it's serene setting.

MP4 video trak samples: were do 'non-frame' NAL units belong?
Joel Keller <jkeller@...>
Greetings experts,
Joel Keller
Live555 is playing a key role in our industrial machine vision application - thank you for the library! I am experiencing a problem saving MP4 format video files using openRTSP. The RTSP/RTP stream is coming from a camera, and I can successfully save the 'raw/elementary' H264 NAL stream with openRTSP. However, when I save the video as MP4, with something like this:
openRTSP -d 30 -b 1000000 -B 1000000 -4 -y -w 1536 -h 1536 -f 15 rtsp://10.0.3.11/live.sdp > myvideo.mp4
I find that the generated MP4 file contains NAL units in the 'mdat' box which do not correspond to video frames, specifically NAL units of type SPS, PPS, and SEI. These three NAL units are periodically interspersed with the frame data. This interspersion itself is of course not a problem as the media data area can contain non-frame data, and this meta data is of course needed to interpret the frame. However these NAL units are treated as 'MP4 samples' in the MP4 'Sample Table Boxes'. Specifically, in the stts (Decoding time to sample box), these samples have a "delta" of zero, implying that their presentation time is the same as the samples which precede them (this makes sense, because they are not frames of the video, but it violates ISO spec, which states that "The sample entries are ordered by decoding time stamps; therefore the deltas are all non-negative."). I find that this causes some (most?) video players to "stutter" when playing back the MP4 file (avidemux2 for example), because they determine the video's frame rate and then go sample-by-sample through the video. When the player gets to these non-frame samples, it appears to delay for the frame-duration, but it cannot decode the frame (because the sample is not a frame). This leads to a video with ~15 smooth frames, then 3 pause frames, then ~15 smooth frames.
My questions are:
1) What is the correct thing to do with these NAL units in the MP4 file?
2) How can I make openRTSP/live555 create an MP4 file without this stuttering?
Possible answers I have to #1 are:
a. "non-frame" NAL units are appropriate samples in MP4 video traks. But then what to do with the stts deltas?
b. "non-frame" NAL units should not show up as samples (see avcC box), and should be 'skipped over' based on MP4 'chunks'. But how do I get live555 to do this?
c. "non-frame' NAL units should be "combined" their following "frame" NAL unit to be a single 'MP4 sample'. (ie a sample is not necessarily a single NAL unit). Again how would I get live555 to do this?
Thank you for reading this long post. I am most grateful for any help.

Hundreds of people attended hearings Tuesday in Hermiston and Portland on a proposal for a coal transfer terminal on the Columbia River at Boardman, some arguing the project will be an economic plus and others arguing it would be an environmental minus. The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality will consider the public comments as it considers application from Ambre Energy to move nearly 9 million tons of coal a year, The Oregonian reported.
Ambre wants to build the first port in the Northwest to export coal from Montana and Wyoming to Asia. The coal would arrive at Boardman by train and be moved downriver on barges to the Port of St. Helens where it would be loaded on ships.
More than 500 people signed up to comment and about half of those actually spoke, said Joan Stevens-Schwenger, spokeswoman for the Department of Environmental Quality.
She emphasized the hearings were to solicit public comment about the technical aspects of the requested permits, and the department is required to grant permits if Ambre follows legal requirements.
Proponents at the Portland hearing said the Ambre proposal would be good for communities along the Columbia River.
"They're going to donate a percentage of coal to our schools," said Diane Pohl, mayor of Clatskanie in Columbia County. "They're trying to be good community partners."
Some said they were worried about the impact coal pollution could have on their children and grandchildren.
"It's one world, folks, it goes round and round," said Chris Arthur, a retired psychiatrist and native of England who said she'd seen the impact of coal fields on a community's health. "We shouldn't be helping carbon emissions anywhere in the world. It will come back to bite us."
Opponents said the department should expand its review of potential health and environmental hazards. Jasmine Zimmer-Stucky of the environmental group Columbia Riverkeeper said the hearings are too limited and that DEQ should extend its review of the project to include the Port of St. Helens.
The company said countries including South Korea, Japan and China are clamoring for more coal to fuel growth and consumption.
"It's unrealistic to expect if you say no to coal in Oregon, the demand is going to go away," said spokeswoman Liz Fuller.
The comment period closes Aug. 12. Stevens-Schwenger said the DEQ doesn't have a timetable for acting.
Ambre also needs approval from the Oregon Department of State Lands and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which is waiting for impact statements from tribes, fisheries and the state historic preservation office.

At NAB (Booth N2515) Miranda Technologies will showcase two low-cost, high-performance master control switching and channel branding systems, called Imagestore-Modular+ and Imagestore-Modular.
Imagestore-Modular+ offers a variety of channel branding capabilities, including clip/animation playout for advanced graphics effects. With HD/SD processing, it can provide up to 80 minutes of clip playout for partial or full frame branding and promo graphics. The system also uses a space and energy efficient, dual card design, with up to four channels housed in a single 3RU Densite frame.
The processor is designed for prerendered graphics and can provide up to five layers of keying. Three layers can be fed by internally stored stills/ animations; one layer is for clips, and one layer is for external graphics devices with fill/key outputs. Graphics capabilities include automated character generation and EAS insertion, as well as clock and temperature insertion. Other features include AB video mixing with 16-channel audio mixing, and eight-channel voice-overs with audio clip playback.
The Imagestore-Modular+ package includes Miranda's Vertigo After Effects plug-in and Vertigo Xplorer graphics automation tools, which enable graphics generation, asset management and instant publishing to various alternative platforms. By using Adobe After Effects for graphics creation, the system offers a familiar workflow and the ability to create sophisticated graphics. It also provides highly streamlined batch rendering and easy quality control.
The Imagestore-Modular version is similar but it does not include the integrated clip playout. It's a single card, 3Gb/s/HD/SD processor, which offers up to 10 channels of master control switching and channel branding in a 3RU Densite frame.
Master control features include AB video/audio mixing (16 channels) plus voice-overs. Designed for prerendered graphics, it can provide five layers of keying (using three internal stores), character generation and EAS, as well as clock and temperature insertion.

Below are the youth football defenses that I have run the past 3 seasons as a youth football coach in a pee wee tackle football league. These defenses concentrate on the run and do not emphasize pass. Our pass defense is the 5-3 defense. My most successful defense is the 70 Eagle defense. The 70 Eagle is very effective against the run especially when we use our blitz calls and stunts.

If you have an account on a dating app or match site, chances are you've come across a wide gamut of people. Great guys are out there for straight women and gay men alike, but the land of anonymous men in cyberspace can sometimes be a house of horrors. You'll notice similarities between guys who turn out to be creeps, as opposed to the ones you truly respect and enjoy. Here are 5 dating app personalities to avoid at all costs:
1.) The Headless Horseman
Specs: pictures include bathroom mirror selfies exposing a shirtless torso, or photos of him on a beach wearing a tank top that makes his arms look great. He crops the frame to remove his head from every shot or blocks his face with another confusing image, i.e. a cartoon ice cream cone, a barnyard animal, a smiling emoji.
Why Steer Clear? He's literally—and figuratively—hiding something. A profile without a single face pic indicates red flags: he is ashamed to be associated with online dating; he is avoiding being identified by exes/coworkers/family members for whatever reason; he suffers from low self-esteem; or in the case of gay dating apps, he's not out.
The Lesson: look for men who offer very clear pictures of themselves, most importantly their faces. Seek out diversity in photos, including a range of scenes, pictures alone and with friends (not all selfies), and shots of him doing activities he loves.
2.) The Ghost
Specs: whether you're sending him a first message and hoping to initiate conversation, or you've been chatting with him for weeks, this is the guy who, without any discernible reason, stops talking to you. No explanation, just gone.
Why Steer Clear? While it's good to talk to men who actually have lives and can't always reply every day, don't reinforce prolonged abandoning behavior. He's not that into you. However sexy the mysterious chase may be, a man who drops a two-way dialogue for a week or more, without explanation or apology, is showing you poor communication skills and perhaps a tendency to take others for granted.
The Lesson: give your time to guys who are interested in having actual conversations with you. This is a good indicator that they're serious about getting to know you, but bring the conversation in-person sooner rather than later to avoid burning out on endless online chat.
3.) The Bugaboo
Specs: he continues to message you incessantly despite the fact you made it abundantly clear you do not wish to speak with him anymore.
Why Steer Clear? He's desperate and/or insane.
The Lesson: first, make sure you actually did make it clear you're not interested. If you become The Ghost and just stop returning messages without explanation, you can't expect 100% of Bugaboos to get the hint. But if he continues to message you despite your request to be left alone, he isn't respecting your boundaries. Use your profile's Block feature.
4.) The Exclusionist
Specs: his profile is riddled with statements like "No fats," "No femmes," "No Asians," or "sorry not into black girls/guys its just a preference LOL #notracist."
Why Steer Clear? Even if you pass this douchebag's minefield of fat-shaming, misogynistic, #yesracist requisites, you should not be flattered. He's still a man who chooses to look for a mate by describing surface-level attributes of those he does not wish to date. Commit this red flag to memory, because it indicates this guy is a bigot, perhaps self-hating, and is single for a very good reason.
The Lesson: give up on men who describe what they don't want and pursue men who describe what they do want. Statements like "I prefer in-shape mates of my own race" are a little suspect, but at least worth a discussion. Statements like "I want to build a life with a confident, intelligent woman" or "I'm looking for a guy to love and play MarioKart" are solid gold! The only excusable exceptions are age and sexual role. For better or worse, men will often include specific age ranges they're looking for in a mate. This can be for truly healthy reasons or for really terrible life choices. Either way, let him see how it plays out. For gay men who strictly identify as 100% Top or 100% Bottom, they're seeking someone who is sexually compatible with their preferred role (even if they're missing out on half the fun).
5.) The Fetishist
Specs: his messages or profile indicate he's only interested because you're fat/feminine/Asian/black/white/a virgin/a vegan/an amputee/whatever.
Why Steer Clear? Obviously he's using you for what you represent to him rather than appreciating you for all that you are. While it can be flattering to be praised for something you or society consider a uniqueness or even liability, a fetishist will build a relationship with you solely on that fixation and objectify you for it.
The Lesson: assess what attracts him to you the most. It's important that he finds you interesting in multiple ways—and vice-versa—to spark a lasting connection. He likes your hairy body? Great, so long as he loves your values and sense of humor too. He's obsessed with your tattoos? Awesome, but only if he sees and appreciates that you're more than just inked skin.
Online media can make it difficult to gauge authentic chemistry, but consider these red flags to help you with that assessment. Remember, don't become any of these characters yourself, as it's important to put out into the dating world what you wish to receive. Be open-minded and discern for yourself who fits best with you!
