Chicago's 312 Restaurant, located in downtown South Loop, was the destination spot on May 9th for women of color in communications looking for a good organizational network.
A group of 100 women connected at ColorComm's official Chicago Launch in pursuit of building with fellow communications professionals in various mediums.Some familiar faces were on board and others, meeting for the first time, introduced themselves and continued throughout the evening conversing, laughing and enjoying complimentary cocktails and hors' d oeuvres.
ColorComm: Women of Color in Communication, headquartered in Washington, D.C. and founded by Lauren Wesley Wilson, a communications strategist with MSL Group, is a network that provides women of color a way to get recognized, make meaningful contacts, and grow a network with access to some of the highest level professionals in the communications industry. Oh and don't be alarmed if you gain great friendships and mentors/mentees along the way!
The theme, "Women Helping Women", was truly honored. From the moment you made your entrance, smiling faces greeted you ready to share their experiences as well as yours.
It was by far one of the best and well put together after work events that many of us attended in quite some time. Micaeh Johnson, CEO and Founder of Carte Blanche LTD, a public relations/marketing firm expressed that ColorComm's event held "a lot of power in one room."
The absolute highlight of the evening was the introduction of ColorComm's Founder and Chief Networking Officer, Lauren Wesley Wilson, who briefly shared the network's expanding journey since its 2011/12 inception; guests were swarmed into the energy given by Najja Howard, Public Relations Analyst and Executive Director of ColorComm Chicago. Her explosive energy extended a warm welcome; and then the moment we were all anticipating, Ebony Magazine's Editor-in-Chief, Amy DuBois Barnett took the floor and captured us with her 'sista' realness, genuine approach and professional knowledge. Her spirit was authentic.
After sharing snippets of her journey, you couldn't miss the underlining message of her speech. Ms. DuBois Barnett spoke of building real relationships with people. The key take-away: Build relationships before you need them! (Yeah, I hope you stopped reading -briefly, of course – and jotted this down!)
Why wait until the moment of disparity to reach out to that great connect you met a few weeks or even a month ago? By that time, you're scrambling for contacts. If there was a genuine connection during the initial meeting, stay in touch – whether you "need" them for career progression or not. Opportunities and friendships are among us everywhere. Be aware and alert.
In addition to schooling us on networking etiquette, Amy DuBois Barnett also dropped these gems:
- There is no place that you do not belong. Work the room. Mentally assign yourself a goal and accomplish it. If there's one person you feel you need to know or they need to know you, make it happen.
- Network outside of your comfort zone. Don't get caught up blending in with who/ what you already know; challenge yourself and broaden your perspective. Grow your connections. See what others have to offer and vice-versa.
- Make a good first impression. It's much easier when you know a little about the person. Or if not, find a commonality in the moment. Compliment their outfit or create a conversation starter. (*ToizStory: With the advanced use of technology and smart phones, take a few minutes to conduct some speedy research and do a Google search on your potentially new connect. Dip off to the ladies room or somewhere with low visibility and gather quick/interesting facts.)
- Follow up quickly. Don't let those great ideas and possible collaborations just become 'shop talk'. If you're serious about your brand, business, and personal growth make sure you reach out immediately. Also, mention your prior conversation and where you met. "Don't overwhelm them," Amy advised. "But, it's okay to drop a line and keep them updated on what you have going on."
- Invite your contact out to lunch. This is how you grow your network and a way to scope if there's a real connection. Important note: "Don't always ask for something!"
- Be specific with your request. No beating around the bush, professionals are much too busy for that. Know what you want and ask for it, appropriately.
- Be Nice To Everyone. SMILE! This was a major staple on Ms. DuBois Barnett's list. "You don't know where people will end up." (*Fun fact: Before JET Magazine's EIC, Mitzi Miller held the title, she worked with Amy as the entertainment editor for Honey Magazine – where Amy was the Editor-in-Chief. –See, you never know what journey your attitude and personality will take you on!)

Skill Level Intermediate
I want to continue with the image of the three boys that we worked on in the last movie. I am just going to open up the version that we had saved. This is the one where we've already done noise reduction and fixed the chromatic aberrations. So I am going to open it up again in Photoshop. You should have saved version of this from last time. If you're not familiar with what I just did there, the way the windows just popped up, in Photoshop you can zoom in and out of an image with Command+Plus and Command+Minus and if you hit Command+0 it blows the image up to fit as large as it can on screen.
If you are using Windows you'll be using the Ctrl key instead of the Command key. So a lot of times during these tutorials you are going to see this kind of thing happening and I am just using Command+Plus, Command+Minus and Command+0. I am going to hide Bridge just to keep things from getting confusing here. So let's think about what else needs to be done with this image. We've done a lot to it already. We took three source images, mergef them into an HDR, into a 32-bit image, then tone mapped that image, then brought it in here and removed chromatic aberrations, reduced noise.
In the tone mapping process we did a lot of tonal adjustments and made a lot of decisions. What else go we need to do? Well, I can just start from scratch at this point. Look at this image just as if it was something I had taken out my camera and tried to figure out what it might need. And as I would do with an image that I've taken right out of my camera I want to look at the histogram. And I go up here to Window > Histogram and when I see this little exclamation mark over here that means that the histogram is not completely accurate. I am going to click on it to tell it to generate a real histogram.
And this is showing a three channel histogram, separate superimposed histograms with the red, green, and blue channels. I am really just interested in tone at this point. I am not worried about color. I just want to see if my tone is as good as it could be. So I am going to switch over here to Expanded view and change this histogram to Luminosity. Tell it to update again and just as I was thinking, the image looks a little low contrast and sure enough I don't have a strong black. I don't really have strong whites. The bulk of my data isn't just this little bit of my histogram right here, so I am going to start with tonal adjustment.
We always do tonal adjustments to an image before color adjustments because corrections in tone can very often fix color. I have added a Levels adjustment layer. If you didn't see what I did there I went down to this menu at the bottom of the Layers palette and chose Levels. And it added this Levels adjustment layer here and I see my Levels adjustment up here. Because Levels includes a histogram, I am going to close up my Histogram palette there. So I need a stronger black point, I am just going to move this over here and you can see that I am clipping well into the black.
I am eyeballing this to see where I want it. I don't want to lose too much detail in here so I am going to back off a little bit. I am ultimately going to print this image and all images darken up when I print, so I am going to kind of keep that in mind. I could move my white point but I don't know that I need to. Yes the image gets a little brighter. I don't want the sky to get any brighter than it needs to, so I am just going to leave that right about there. Otherwise I am feeling pretty good about where the tone is. I think I want to maybe brighten their faces a little bit, but that's going to be a separate action.
So with tone where it is, if I look at this image what's bothering me about it now is this grass is really green. This is where I am starting to get into some of that HDR thing that I don't know that I want. It's looking a little hyper-realistic. It's looking like someone opened this image and hit the Saturation slider much more than I would like. So I want to desaturate these greens. I don't know that I need to desaturate the whole image. I like there is some warmth in their skin tone. I am not minding the orange shorts and the yellow shirt here. I like those colors. It's just the grass looks like AstroTurf.
So I am going to go back here to my Layers palette, go down here to the new adjustment layer, and add a Hue/Saturation layer. I can see my Hue/Saturation controls. If I drag Saturation the left I desaturate the entire image. I am kind of liking that actually now that I see it but I want to try desaturating just the green, because I want to see what happens if we leave these where they were. So I am going to undo that, which I did that by hitting Command+Z or Ctrl+Z. What I would like to do is have a localized de-saturation that only hits the green tones.
The easiest way to do that is to click on this thing right here, this little finger, and come down here and click on some of the green in my image. So I am just going to find kind of a mid- tone green right there and when I click and my cursor turns into that little finger thing, the same one we saw up there in the pallet. I am going to drag to the left to desaturate. And now I am desaturating only the grass. The orange shorts and the yellow shirt are staying the same and I will put that about right there. That's looking a little more realistic. I'll undo that for you, so you can see before and all I am doing is hiding this Hue/Saturation adjustment layer.
That's before, that's after. Think for a minute about why that looks more realistic. Is that just because when I see really saturated color, I think image editing? Not necessarily, although that is part of it, but also when there's more light you usually get more color saturation. With grass when there is more light, it normally looks brighter because all the time you see light shining from behind it and it's semi opaque and so it really lights up. This is a completely cloudy day. The grass should look dull.
Colors shouldn't look too saturated. So a lot of times the way you understand where saturation should be is to think about what the lighting in the situation is and how it should actually look. Less light means less saturation. This is a dark and cloudy day. So I am happy with that. Last thing I want to think about maybe is just to be sure we get a good view of their faces, I might want to brighten those up. I am not sure that this edit's going to work or not but I am going to take a Levels adjustment and add a Levels adjustment layer.
We will zoom in here because I want to see their faces a little better. I am going to brighten them up a little bit with the mid-tone slider. I am not going to do this with the white point because if I brighten with the white point I'm also increasing contrast a little bit and I would rather just have the mid-tones be a touch brighter. Now that's happening to the entire image, I am not worrying about that. I am just looking at his face and just keep an eye on his face. This is the original; this is brightened up a little bit. It is like that I am losing some of the shadows around his eyes.
Again this image is going to go darker when it prints, so it's better to err on the side and just a touch too light. So the problem is that happens to the entire image. I wanted to only affect his face so I'm going to use my layer mask here to take care of that. I am going to zoom back out for a moment so you can see what's going on. I go up here to the Select menu and choose All. The entire image is selected. Clicking on here to make sure this highlight is around my layer mask to indicate that it's going to receive the edits. I am going to go up here to Edit and choose Fill and tell it to fill it black. Hit OK.
That fills my layer mask with black. So now nothing in the image is getting that lightning effect of my adjustment layer. Select > Deselect. Now I am going to zoom back in and I am going to grab a paintbrush, make sure I have white paint, and then I set my brush size to be about the size of his face, which it is, and I am just going to paint on there a little bit and you can see his face brightening up. If I look at my mask you see it punched a little hole in the mask that's allowing the brightening to come through. I painted only on the top of his face here because it makes sense that the lower part of his cheeks and his lower lip would be in shadow and so would be a little darker.
Sometimes we follow what makes sense lighting-wise and sometimes we are cheap like I am doing right now, which is I am going to lighten up sockets of his eyes a little bit because the eyes are very important. Fortunately there's still the total relationships of his eye sockets are still correct, the upper part is still darker than the lower part, but overall the whole thing is brighter. So just to get it a before-and-after look here. That's before, watch his face. That's after. Before, watch his face. That's after.
So I think that's probably about all I want to do to this image. I would want to size it, sharpen it, and do a test print and check out my notes and if they needed any refinement, come back because I've done everything is adjustment layers. I can very easily tweak these adjustments and get them correct.

Everyone's favourite multi-membered multi-talented merry prankster revivalists Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros have recorded a special'Itunes Session' EP just in time for the holiday season.
The EP features brand new track 'Fire & Water' plus lively reworks of some of the tracks from the brilliant 'Up From Below', though the mega popular 'Home' inconspicuously missing.
When I caught the band live in Victoria Park two summers ago they performed this new track simply as "Jade's song" and it was electrifying. Despite not featuring frontman Alex Ebert on this the formidable talent of Jade Castrinos deservedly take centre stage.

Avalanche forward Nathan MacKinnon's World Championship run fell short Thursday as Canada lost 3-2 to Finland in the quarterfinals at Chizhovka Arena in Minsk, Belarus.
This marks the fifth straight year that Canada has lost in the quarterfinals. Its last medal at the World Championship was a silver in 2009 following a loss to Russia in the championship final.
Nathan MacKinnon during a 2014 IIHF World Championship game in Minsk, Belarus with Team Canada (Richard Wolowicz/HHOF-IIHF Images).
Canada won gold at the Sochi Olympics last February and was bidding to become the second team to capture in the same year Olympics and World Championship gold (Sweden, 2006).
Canada held a 2-1 lead in the second period Thursday after Kyle Turris (Senators) and Mark Scheifele (Jets) found the net, but Finland quickly turned the game back in its favor early in the third.
Juuso Hietanen scored just 28 seconds into the final stanza to tie the contest at 2-2, and Iiro Pakarinen scored the winner for Finland after receiving a pass from Jori Lehtera in the slot during an odd-man rush and firing a shot far-side with 3:08 left.
"For the most part I thought our team played well," Canada coach Dave Tippett (Coyotes) said. "We controlled long portions of the game. We made a couple of mistakes that cost us the game. Our goal was to get better every day. That was probably the best game we've played here."
Nathan MacKinnon and Reto Berra both helped their teams to 3-2 wins Tuesday on the final day of preliminary-round play at the 2014 IIHF World Championship in Minsk, Belarus.
But only one is moving on to the tournament quarterfinals.
MacKinnon, the Avalanche forward and youngest member of Team Canada, had a game-high seven shots, and Joel Ward (Capitals) scored twice on the power play and had an assist in Canada's victory against Norway at Chizhovka Arena.

The Canadians (6-1, 18 points) outshot the Norwegians 42-16 and won Group A in the eight-team, two-pool format. They will play Finland, Group B's fourth-place team, on Thursday, with the semifinals coming Saturday, where a match against either the United States or France would await.
The World Championship gold-medal game is scheduled for Sunday.
"It was a long game but we weren't down and out or anything," Ward said to the IIHF website Tuesday. "We felt good about ourselves. We had a lot of chances, a lot of shots. We had some power plays. [We've] just got to capitalize on special teams."
Avalanche prospect Jonas Holos was on the ice for 34:08 for Norway (2-5, seven),
which led 1-0 at the end of the first period and later went ahead 2-1 with just less than eight minutes to play in the second.
Mark Scheifele (Jets) tied the game 2-2 four minutes later for Canada, with help from Ward, who then put the Canadians ahead for good with nine minutes to play in regulation.
Nathan MacKinnon had two assists on Friday to help Team Canada win its fourth consecutive game at the 2014 IIHF World Championship with a 6-1 victory over Italy.
The Canadians have won each of their contests since losing to France in the tournament opener last Friday. They have outscored their opponents by a 20-6 margin in those wins.
After taking a 1-0 lead in the first period, Canada scored four times in the middle frame and once more with 3:30 remaining. MacKinnon assisted on Canada's final two scores, Cody Hodgson's tally at 16:15 of the second and Brayden Schenn's goal at 16:30 of the third.
MacKinnon now has four points (one goal and three assists) in his first world championship. He also had six shots and two penalty minutes against Italy.
Canada (4-0-1) sits in second place in Group A and just one point behind undefeated Sweden (5-0-0). The top two teams will face off on Sunday at 7:45 a.m. MT.
In Group B on Friday, Reto Berra did all he could in net but Switzerland lost 3-2 in a shootout to Finland.
Berra made 22 saves and stopped Finland's first four skaters in the shootout before Iiro Pakarinen scored in the fifth round to secure the win for the Finns. No Swiss players scored in the tiebreaker.
Switzerland will play Kazakhstan, last place in Group B, on Saturday at 11:45 a.m. MT.
Avalanche prospects Markus Lauridsen of Denmark and Jonas Holos of Norway did not have tournament games on Friday. Lauridsen and Denmark are seventh in Group A with a 1-3-0 record, while Holos has contributed two points (one goal and one assist) to help Denmark to fourth in Group A with a 2-2-0 mark.
Cody Hodgson (Sabres) had a hat trick Thursday at Chizhovka Arena, helping Canada and the Avalanche's Nathan MacKinnon to a 6-1 win against Denmark in a Group A preliminary-round game at the 2014 IIHF World Championship in Belarus.
|Richard Wolowicz / HHOF-IIHF Images
Flyers forward Matt Read scored twice for the Canadians (3-0-1, 10 points), and Panthers forward Jonathan Huberdeau also found the net.
Canada goaltender Ben Scrivens (Oilers) made 29 saves and improved to 2-0-0 in the fifth all-time Worlds matchup between Denmark and Canada.
MacKinnon, who had a goal and an assist in Canada's three previous Worlds games, totaled 11:29 of ice time across 17 shifts but fired off just one first-period shot against the Danes (1-3-0, three).
Avs defenseman prospect Markus Lauridsen was on the ice for 5:32 for Denmark and was called for a high stick at 14:31 of the second period.
"As a team we had a strategy of wearing [the Danes] down and keeping pucks in their end," Hodgson told the IIHF website, "and, eventually, that showed in the third period as we had so much possession time."
Avalanche goalie Reto Berra made 22 saves Wednesday to help his Switzerland team snap a three-game losing streak at the 2014 IIHF World Championship in Belarus with a 3-2 win against Germany at Minsk Arena.
Berra started in goal for the Swiss for the third time in the Championship and improved to 2-1 with a scoreless final 21:08 after Thomas Oppenheimer pulled Germany within a goal late in the second period with one of his two scores in the game.
A close-range, near-tying shot from Germany's Alexander Barta rang off the crossbar in the final minute of regulation, and Switzerland avoided a four-game winless start in the group-play, round-robin format.
"We had a great chance for a fourth goal, then they came straight back down the ice and hit the bar," Switzerland's Roman Josi (Predators) told the IIHF website after notching two assists in a game-high 25:16 on the ice.
"Everything went so fast. I saw [Barta] in front of the goal and thought, 'Please don't score.' Luckily he put it on the crossbar."
Nathan MacKinnon added another notch to his burgeoning resume Monday in Canada's 4-3 win against the Czech Republic at Chizhovka Arena at the 2014 IIHF World Championship.
MacKinnon, the Avalanche rookie who led all NHL rookies this season in points (63), goals (24-tied) and assists (39), potted one of the Canada's two second-period power-play scores to become the second youngest in Canada history to score a goal at the Worlds since 1977.
He slapped in a rebound off a shot from the Capitals' Joel Ward at 16:07 of the second period to put the Canadians ahead 3-1 and surpass Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby as the youngest in the nation's history at the annual tournament.
Former NHL star Paul Kariya, who played for the Avs during the 2003-04 season, is the youngest to score for Canada (1993) since it began sending NHL pros to the tournament in 1977 (Vienna, Austria).
Morgan Rielly (Maple Leafs) added another score after MacKinnon's to put Canada up 4-1 before the Czechs rallied on an even-strength goal and a power-play goal in the third period.
Nathan MacKinnon and Canada opened their 2014 IIHF World Championship on Friday with a 3-2 shootout loss to France at Chizhovka Arena. The win for France marked only the second time in the country's history at the tournament that it had beaten the hockey power, with it last defeating Canada in April 1995 by a 4-1 score.
MacKinnon had the assist on Erik Gudbranson's go-ahead goal that gave the Canadians a 2-1 lead at 10:42 of the third period, but Stephane da Costa's second goal of the night tied the game at 2-2 for the French less than two minutes later.
Pierre-Edouard Bellemare won the game for France in the shootout as he scored in third round, the only goal of the tiebreaker. MacKinnon did not participate in the shootout for Canada.
France opened the game's scoring with da Costa's first goal of the game with 2:57 left in the first period, but the French lead was short lived as Canada quickly answered to tie the contest with 16 seconds remaining in the stanza.
Elsewhere on Day 1 of the tournament, Avs goalie Reto Berra's Switzerland team lost 5-0 to Russia in its first game. Berra was the backup goalie for the Swiss and did not play in the game.
Nathan MacKinnon and Reto Berra are spending the early part of their offseasons just west of Russia, on a couple of international-sized ice sheets in Minsk, Belarus.
PMacKinnon, the Avs' 18-year-old Canadian forward, who burst onto the hockey scene this season, and Berra, a Swiss-born goaltender acquired on this year's trade-deadline day, will represent their respective countries at the 2014 IIHF World Championship.
The 17-day, 16-team tournament begins Friday morning (MT) and runs through Sunday, May 25, with the playoffs beginning May 22.
Preliminary play is scheduled until May 20, with the top four teams from each eight-team group advancing to a crossover quarterfinal setup. Semifinal games will be played May 24, and medals will be decided the next day.
MacKinnon and Berra are both set to start the tournament Friday, as Team Canada is set to face France at 7:45 a.m. (MT) at Chizhovka Arena (9,600) while the Swiss take on Russia at the same time across town at Minsk Arena (15,000).
Both players made themselves eligible for the tournament after the Avalanche's season ended last week in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Fireworks in the sky
Seen & Heard
Livermore and Russia
It drizzled but couldn't rain on livermorium's parade June 24 when Livermore city officials, a Russian mayor and Lawrence Livermore Lab and Russian scientists celebrated their teamwork that created element #114 flerovium and #116 livermorium.
They gathered at Mills Square Park -- coincidentally at 116 N. Livermore Ave. -- to dedicate it as "Livermorium Plaza." An international reception at the Bankhead Theater featured a cocktail of Russian vodka and ginger beer on one side as Livermore wines poured freely on the other. Cupcakes were decorated with Fl and Lv -- the symbols for flerovium and livermorium. Someone pointed out the Lv cupcakes were quickly gone, "Guess we'll have to go synthesize some more," replied a caterer.

Past Times
June 26, 1968 Top stories of the Pleasanton Times
Headline: "It Just Came Straight Down"
A young mother isn't sure if it was "a miracle or what."
A 26-year-old pilot who doubles as an Oakland fireman figures it "just wasn't my turn."
And a Pleasanton eyewitness to the whole crazy scene said, "I've been watching planes fly for years, but I never seen anything like this."
What Joseph Amaro saw Wednesday morning was this: "This light plane was flying east across Hopyard ... You could tell it was in trouble ... Suddenly it started straight down ... In sort of a spiral.
"Then the wind or something straightened it out. It looped back, came low against the ground ... Cleared the ditch and bounced here on the road ... Hopped clear across Hopyard and right through that fence.
How it stopped short of that house I'll never know."
Police could only wonder, too, of "the miracle on Alvord Way."
For Mrs. David Bradley and her two small children, it was perhaps a gift of life. "We were sitting in the kitchen playing Monopoly," said the young mother, "suddenly there was this crash ... The awful fire ..."
The small plane piloted by Peter Jacobson had somehow halted its pattern of death and destruction just 20 feet short of the Bradley kitchen. He jumped clear before flames engulfed the small craft.
The people of Val Vista will have something to talk about for weeks to come. They may even start out with "The day I saw the miracle happen ...."
Groceries: P&X Foods. Boneless beef roast, 98 cents a pound; Folger's coffee, two pound-tin $1.19; large AA eggs, 39 cents a dozen.
Real Estate: Hacienda Realty, Pleasanton. Castlewood Home -- Spectacular view, large 3-bedroom, 3-bath, maid quarters, dining room, family room, two patios. $69,500.
Trivia Question: July 17, 1974: What British superstar was ordered to leave the U.S. in 60 days?
Answer to last week's question: In 1968, Cleveland had its lowest July temperature ever. It was 41 degrees.

Food impacts all functions of your body, and therefore how you function in the world.
Food is the cornerstone for your strength and vitality. This is true whether you're looking to heal from a current or chronic condition, whether you're intending to improve the quality of your life, or if you're aiming to achieve maximal energy and longevity. Replenish PDX offers a curriculum of courses aimed at educating people how to make positive dietary changes in their lives and the ways in which these changes can help them to both heal and thrive in all aspects of their lives. With Replenish PDX my goal is to help you see and experience the reciprocity between good eating and a truly fulfilling life.

You'll Love Replenish Classes Too:
I loved the Fat or Fiction Homestudy course! The program is well thought out and very informative. I liked that Andrea provides the transcripts so that you don't even have to take notes. The recipes that she includes are delicious. I had heard years ago that coconut oil was good for you, but you often hear this or that is good for you and then later you hear that it's not good for you, right? Very frustrating. Andrea explains the chemistry of fat in an easy to understand way, why fats got a bad rap in the first place, how to incorporate fats into the diet and much more. Now I know why fats are beneficial on a deeper level and feel comfortable with my decisions.
~ Barbara Loomis, LMT
Thank you for Your Vibrant Child. Its such an eye opening, well-developed, and creative approach to children's nutrition. You have such wonderful insight and incredibly delicious recipes. Our family has enjoyed every moment of this journey!
~ Heather Petzold
I've felt good, explored new markets and new recipes and proved to myself that I can actually find the discipline to avoid sugar (my biggest vice)! This can clearly be attributed to the wonderful protocol and delicious fiber-rich recipes you have designed to nourish, satisfy and delight us. Thank you so much for making this cleansing opportunity available to us and for providing a community support forum in order to guide and deepen our experiences.

elit by Stolichnaya
More of the World's Best Vodkas
Origin: Russia; $60
Don't confuse Stolichnaya elit with its popular older brother "Stoli." This grain-based beverage is triple-distilled and undergoes a unique freeze filtration process which brings its temperature down to -18 degrees Celsius (0 degrees Fahrenheit). As the liquid's density increases, it becomes easier to identify and remove impurities. The result: great body and texture, and a distinctly clean aftertaste.

Moseley welcome & match day info
Ahead of the Titans Championship visit to Moseley this weekend, the club has received a welcome and match day information message for Rotherham supporters; please see below.
We look forward to welcoming Rotherham Titans and their supporters on Saturday 28 September 2013 to Billesley Common for the Greene King IPA Championship fixture - Moseley v Rotherham Titans with a 3.00 pm kick off.
How to find us
Directions for travel to the ground are on the club website www.moseleyrugby.co.uk (How to find us). This includes details of train and bus travel. Train and bus to the ground is relatively straightforward.
Car parking is free, and disabled badge holders can park right next to the wheel-chair friendly clubhouse. To avoid congestion (and to keep our neighbours happy!) please follow the directions on the website and approach the ground from the South.
The catering facilities are open from 12 noon on match day serving a variety of food such as "panini", Chilli, jacket potatoes, succulent pork baps (described by a Rotherham visitor as "the best pork butty in Christendom!") healthy sandwiches as well as the usual "chips with everything" from three different serving locations. We received plaudits from many visiting supporters last season.
Real Ale Update
We always have a choice of real ales. There is a dedicated 'real ale only' bar at one end of the clubhouse and the main bar serving real ale and 'everything else'.
The ales for Rotherham Titans are:
- Greene King IPA (3.6% abv)
Greene King IPA is a perfectly balanced ale, characterised by its fresh, hoppy taste and clean, bitter finish. This hoppy taste and aroma come from two varieties of English hops – Challenger and First Gold – which are combined with pale and crystal malts. A great beer to enjoy with curry, Mexican and other spicy food, or simply on its own
- Abbot Ale (5.0% abv)
Abbot is an irresistible ale with masses of fruit characters, a malty richness and superb hop balance. It is brewed longer to a unique recipe, which makes it the full-flavoured, smooth and mature beer it is today.
- Morland Original Bitter (4.0% abv)
Morland Original is a moreish and refreshing beer with a subtle malt and fruit character and a pronounced, bitter finish.
- London Glory (4.0% abv)
A celebratory ale created by the master brewers of Greene King for the nation's capital city. Centuries of expertise and craftsmanship have come together to produce this rich and fruity brew that combines crystal malt with challenger and goldings hops.
Match Preview & Report
Moseley's match preview is scheduled to be on the club website (click on 1st XV then fixtures) by the Tuesday running up to the game. The Birmingham Post and/or The Birmingham Mail will carry the first match reports which should be on-line by the following day. www.birminghammail.net
Match Day entry
Adults are £17; Seniors £12; Students £6; Under 16s £3. The covered stand is £3 extra – please pay at the stand NOT the gate. ID required for concessions.
If you have any queries please contact us either at the clubhouse on 0121 443 3631 or via email firstname.lastname@example.com
We look forward to your visit!
Moseley Communications Team
PS: We would be delighted to hear what your supporters thought of their visit, both good and where we can improve – they'd be most welcome to email us email@example.com

text: Spotlight: Paula and Ella Marie Hatten, West Virginia by You're C. on Monday, May 13, 2013 Paula and Ella Marie Hatten West Virginia On May 6, 2011, our beautiful daughter, Ella Marie, was born. On May 7th, we found out Ella Marie was among the 1 in 100 children born with a congenital heart defect. Ella's CHD is called Tetralogy of Fallot and required her to have open heart surgery at 8 weeks old. She also will need more corrective surgeries in the future. Of all the worries that new parents have, our daughter having a CHD was not even on our radar. We had never heard of Tetralogy of Fallot or any other CHD for that matter. We did not know any warning signs to look for or any questions to ask our doctor. Our goal as a family is to raise more awareness of congenital heart defects. We were very happy about Corbin's Bill passing and West Virginia being one of the first states that will now require Pulse Ox to be included in newborn screenings. Our family and friends participated in the Charleston American Heart Walk on September 8th in honor of Ella and hope to do much more to raise awareness for Ella and her other heart warriors! « Now share your story Share This

By Cpl. Andrew S. AvittFebruary 14, 2009
KORAT, Thailand- The Royal Thai Air Force and U.S. Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps worked together to conduct a Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) exercise here Feb. 11, as a part of Exercise Cobra Gold 2009.
Cobra Gold is an annual joint, multinational exercise focused on maintaining and improving military interoperability among its participants.
The forces partnered up to simulate the extraction of a friendly aircrew from enemy territory during a scenario in which a U.S. Air Force plane lost engine power, forcing the crew to ditch the aircraft. As they were preparing to ground the aircraft, however, they collided with a friendly F-16 RTAF pilot, who ejected safely.
Meanwhile, the U.S. plane continued the "ditch maneuver" and landed in a rice paddy with just two survivors. After they met up with the F-16 pilot, the three servicemembers called in the incident to identify an extraction point, which happened to be four miles away.
The three then navigated and maneuvered around the terrain to evade the enemy until safely extracted.
"Overall it was a success. That was the largest navigation we have done in the last two years," said Navy Lt. Sean McCarthy, primary coordinator for the exercise with Marine Aircraft Group 12, which is serving under Marine Aircraft Group 36 for Cobra Gold. "The program is designed to exercise evasion, survival and navigation in a combat environment, and they did that."
With the sun beating down, two USAF crewmembers and one RTAF pilot covered five miles of farm land to make it to their extraction point, while utilizing compasses, Global Positioning Systems and radios to communicate with forces in the sky and find their way through the maze of rice paddies.
Royal Thai Flying Officer Akkara Khaovises, an F-16 pilot, made most of the communications to U.S. forces regarding positions and the group's extraction point.
"The Thai pilot did really well, and it's great practice for the guys up there," said Capt. Elisabeth Lompert, with the U.S. Air Force 962nd Squadron, pointing at the F-18s whizzing overhead. "It's great practice for them to listen and understand different accents coming in over the radio."
MAG-12's CSAR program is two years old and has been conducted five times in places like Malaysia, Okinawa and now Thailand's lowlands.
"This particular scenario was unique," said McCarthy, "While the F-18s were providing security for the downed allies, they were simultaneously being engaged by 'hostile' F-16s" - a situation that could happen in a real life.
As the three came closer to their extraction point, it became clear that working together in the future would not be a problem if they ever found themselves in a similar situation. They found their way from a crash site behind "enemy" lines and joined forces to successfully maneuver to the extraction point, where friendly helicopters hovered before them to take them to safety.
The team demonstrated the importance of military interoperability, and their mission accomplishment reinforced the positive effects that result from the bilateral training that occurs during Cobra Gold.
This year marks the 28th iteration of Cobra Gold , which offers all participating nations critical training opportunities to improve interoperability and build an increased capability to conduct multinational operations.

Washington Wire Live-Blogs Obama's Appearance Before CEOs
T.W. Farnam reports on politics.
4:06: President Barack Obama has just begun addressing the Business Roundtable, a group of chief executives from the largest U.S. companies.
4:10: The president has said he will push other countries to enact stimulus legislation at the G-20 meeting next month. "I'll ask them to join us in these actions," he said.
4:12 The president said his policies are wide-reaching but designed to help all Americans. "We cannot go back to endless cycles of bubbles and busts," the president said. "Instead we must build this recovery on a foundation that lasts."
4:15: Obama said his government reforms are spuring private industry and investment, comparing it to historical efforts like the GI Bill or the interstate highway system. He said that's why he will focus on education, health care, energy and his budget.
4:15: The president is speaking on the education provisions of his budget, including early childhood education. He said he is asking states to lift caps on the number of charter schools.
4:17: The president says his budget makes an investment in the jobs of the future, with money for science research and provisions like that for eliminating capital gains taxes for small business and startups.
4:18: The president says the best way to promote clean energy is for caps on carbon emissions. He is promoting clean coal and biofuels.
4:19: The president said his health care plan is crucial to the economic recovery in the long term. "Today too many small businesses can't even think about insuring their employees," Obama said.
4:22: The president said a provision of his budget would cut spending on Medicare Advantage, the private portion of Medicare, saving $177 billion over 10 years.
4:23: "I ask all of you to look at this budget," he says, touting the savings he has identified, including fraud and abuse in Medicare and subsidies to agribusiness.
4:24: "If we wanted to we could have painted a sunnier fiscal picture in this budget," the president said. "We could have relied on gimmicks." He listed not including the costs of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan or disaster assistance.
4:24: "For the next two years, your taxes aren't going up," the president said. "Nobody." He repeated a refrain from the campaign: that 95% of working families would see a tax cut — "so they can buy some of the products that you make."
4:26: The president closed his formal remarks by saying that all of his domestic policies are designed to form "an economy that is built to last." "I have absolute faith that we can get there together," he said.
4:27: Obama opens the session to questions from the Business Roundtable members.
4:28: The president is asked by the Roundtable chairman
about setting up a regular schedule for meetings with buisness leaders as a "sounding board." He says, "There's a misperception that the relationship between the Obama administration and business is, well, oil and vinegar."
4:31: Obama praised the cooperation of the Roundtable, saying he would be actively soliciting "your advice and input" to create "a stronger free market system, one that's more profitable, more stable over the long run." On the issue of financial regulatory reform, he said, "We are very mindful that we have to do those regulatory reforms in a way that doesn't strangle innovation and entrepreneurship."
4:34: "I want to thank you for all the support in the stimulus package," one participant said, before asking about a specific tax issue in the administration's budget.
4:36: The president says he is looking to close corporate tax loopholes so that he can lower the overall corporate tax rate. "Some of this stuff gets pretty technical," he said, before adding, "I want you to be competitive" overseas.
4:38: Anne Mulcahy, chief executive of Xerox Corp., asked about preparations for the G-20 meeting.
4:38: "There are a couple of broad principles that we'd like to see emerging from the G20," Obama said, mentioning economic stimulus money, financial regulation, and "potentially very big problems" in emerging markets. On regulation, he said, "We think it's necessary that there is coordination – not necesarily a super-regulator — but coordination."
4:41: The president said another topic for the G20 was "making sure we are not dropping back in to protectionism," noting the history of the Great Depression. He said a strong statement in favor of trade and making sure that there is sufficient credit for trade should be a priority. "I'm confident that interests will be aligned here more than they have in the past."
4:43: The president responds to a question about changes in the market by praising American businesses' willingness to take risks and change. "That is part of the American character that we want to maintain," he said. He said he hopes his economic politices will help even the playing field for workers in a way "that maintains strong political and social support for that dynamism."
4:47: Verizon Communications' Ivan Seidenberg told Obama that "your comments on health care were terrific and very enlightening." He said that the Roundtable has been working on its own platform for a health-care overhaul. "I think it's very important that we don't have a government plan competing with a private plan," he said, which is a cornerstone of the president's proposal.
4:50: "I think there is a powerful moral element of health care," the president said, noting he reads 10 letters from average Americans every day out of the 40,000 delivered to the White House.
4:52: Just giving more health care coverage to more people is not the answer, the president said. "You'll just get broke that much faster," he said. "The cost issue is the one that we feel will be driving the debate into the future."
4:53: Obama explains that just because there is concensus for reform on health care that it doesn't mean there is concensus on what the reform should be. That's why he is letting the process unfold on Capitol Hill, he said, so different interests can talk together. "We want them to see some of the contradictions in their own positions," he said.
4:56: The president confronted the perception that his administration is doing too much, saying his budget is a 10-year planning document. The idea that they shouldn't do long-term planning "defies every management practice that I've ever heard of," he said.
4:57: Daniel S. Fulton, chief executive of the Weyerhaeuser Co., asked about the cost of an auction of carbon emission permits given the economic downturn.
4:58: "If you're giving away carbon permits for free, you're not really pricing the thing and it doesn't work," Obama said, adding that if the prices are too high, it wouldn't work either. The pricing mechanism is "the trick," Obama said, but said the government created a similar auction scheme to deal with acid rain decades ago.
5:01: Obama said the economic consequences of not acting on global warming are high. "Go down to Atlanta, which may not have any water soon," he said, before adding he is not "Malthusian" about the situation. "That's going to cost us money, too, it's just not priced."
5:04: Citigroup Chairman Richard Parsons, sitting in the first row, addresses confidence in the financial system. "Among other chiefs, you're the confidence builder in chief," he told Obama.
5:06: Obama again praises the dynamism of the American economy. "There's a young family out there who's thinking about buying a home," he said. "If we can get them credit, they're going to buy that home."
5:07: Obama says the information age has created a large echo chamber. "I am an object of this constantly varying assessment," Obama said. "In fact, I am object-in-chief of this constantly varying assessment."
5:09: "Even in the worst case scenarios, the vast majority of these banks are going to be fine," Obama said. "By the way, despositors are always going to be fine."
5:09: "My focus needs to be on the long term," Obama said. "My long-term projections are highly optomistic." He said he is working toward an economic expansion that is not based on borrowing or leveraging.
5:11: "The one thing that our culture will benefit from is an end to short-term gratification," Obama said, noting that it will take time to rebuild the economy in a lasting way. He closed by saying, "But I'm very confident about it and I hope you are to. Thank you everybody."
5:12: Obama spends a few minutes shaking hands before exiting.

Hello all, here is my entry for the Architecture contest: the Milwaukee Art Museum.
Category: Architecture
Architect: Santiago Calatrava
Flickr Gallery
With the MAM being very symbolic of my hometown, it was an obvious choice to build this one for the contest. It was somewhat difficult to come up with a solution for the wings, but I think the result was pretty good for this scale.
Feel free to look at more pictures in the Flickr gallery (includes WIP shots). Thanks for viewing!

The iPhone 5 also packs a new Wi-Fi radio which supports 2.4GHz/5GHz 802.11n (no 802.11ac this time around). Apple says that it supports speeds up to 150Mbps.
However, the heart of the iPhone 5 comes from the new A6 processor. Apple didn't get into specifics of how many cores or how fast the cores run, but it says that it has a twice the CPU performance and twice the graphics performance of the iPhone 4S. In addition, the actual A6 chip is 22% smaller than the A5.
When it comes to battery life, the iPhone 5 is rated at 8 hours of 3G/LTE talk time/browsing, 10 hours of Wi-Fi browsing, 10 hours of video, 40 hours of music, and 225 hours standby. Speaking of talk time, the iPhone 5 now includes 3 microphones and a noise-cancelling earpiece. The speakers have also been redesigned.
The rear camera has been rebranded "iSight" and is still 8MP. However, it now features backside illumination, a hybrid IR filter, five-element lens, f/2.4 aperture, spatial noise reduction, and dynamic low-light mode. The iSight camera also now includes a panorama mode, a feature that's been available in iOS apps like Photosynth for quite some time. You can also now take photos while shooting videos.
The FaceTime camera has also received an "HD" upgrade and can shoot in 720p. It also features backside illumination and facial recognition.
One of the other big changes to come to the iPhone 5 is a redesigned "Lighting" dock connector (get it; Thunderbolt, Lightning **golf clap**). The resultant cable used is 80% smaller, reversible, and features an 8-pin design. For those that have many accessories with a 30-pin dock connector, Apple will sell an adapter.

Fertility Therapy Improves With Repeat Tries, Study Finds
Women may need more than two cycles of fertility treatments to get pregnant and older women may need to use donor eggs to achieve success, a study found.
Women younger than 31 gave birth to a child 63 percent to 75 percent of the time with a third cycle of in vitro fertilization, while women ages 40 to 42 had a 19 percent to 28 percent success rate and those 43 and older had a 7 percent to 11 percent success rate, according to a study in the New England Journal of Medicine. When using donor eggs, the likelihood of delivering a child was 60 percent to 80 percent for all ages, the research showed.
Fertility treatments are expensive and many insurance companies only cover a portion of the expenses for two to three cycles, the researchers said. Women tend to get discouraged when they don't get pregnant after the first treatment and abandon the effort, the study said. The study found that the more fertility treatments a woman undergoes, the better her chance of getting pregnant, said Barbara Luke, the lead author.
"For patients perhaps it's saying to look at treatment over a series of cycles rather than just one cycle," Luke, a professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Biology at Michigan State University in East Lansing, said in a June 25 telephone interview. "What this data shows is the live birth rate continues to increase with continued therapy.
''For insurers, this actually shows it continues to climb past three cycles. Two to three cycles are often covered by insurance. These findings may help insurance companies rethink their policy,'' she said.
Birth Rates
The study released yesterday is the first national analysis linking fertility cycles with live birth rates in the U.S., she said.
In the general population, the natural fertility rate for healthy women is about 20 percent a month, the authors wrote. The chance of conceiving spontaneously is 45 percent after three months of trying, 65 percent after six months and 85 percent after 12 months, the paper said.
A couple is considered infertile after trying to get pregnant for one year without success or six months if the woman is older than 35, according to RESOLVE: The National Fertility Association, a nonprofit support and education group. About 12 percent of women of childbearing age, or one in eight couples, are affected by infertility, the group said on its website.
Also, only 15 U.S. states mandate that health insurance include some infertility coverage but the policies vary, according to the association.
Study Data
Researchers in the study used data from the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology Clinic Outcome Reporting System database from 2004 through 2009 to estimate live-birth rates. They then calculated an estimate assuming that women who didn't return to treatment wouldn't have a live birth, and an optimal estimate that those women would have live-birth rates similar to those continuing treatment.
The study included 246,740 women who underwent a combined 471,208 cycles of fertility treatments and had 140,859 live births. In the study, 57 percent of the women had a live birth and a live birth occurred in 30 percent of the cycles.
The researchers found that the two major factors that affect the success rate of fertility are the woman's age and quality of the embryos. For older women, switching to donor eggs rather than using their own improved their chance of conceiving, Luke said.
About 25 percent of women quit after one cycle and 33 percent after two cycles, Luke said.
Encouraging Information
''This study provides patients with important and encouraging information," Glenn Schattman, a study author and president of the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology, said in a statement. "While tracking outcomes by cycle started or single embryo transfer is a valuable method for assessing quality, having cumulative data linked to individual patients better estimates the prospect for success when they start a treatment cycle."
The study also showed that by the second cycle of in vitro, women younger than 31 had a 57 percent to 62 percent chance of delivering a live child, while those 41 to 42 years had a 16 percent to 20 percent chance and those 43 and older had a six percent to eight percent success rate, Luke said. By the fourth cycle, women younger than 31 had a 66 percent to 83 percent success rate, while those ages 41 to 42 had a 19 percent to 33 percent chance and those 43 and older had a 7 percent to 15 percent chance, she said.

Atafu, coral atoll of Tokelau, a territory of New Zealand in the South Pacific Ocean. It comprises 19 islets that rise to 15 feet (5 metres) above sea level and enclose a lagoon measuring 3 miles (5 km) by 2.5 miles (4 km). Discovered (1765) by British navigator John Byron, who named it Duke of York Island, Atafu was Christianized (1858) by the London Missionary Society. Despite heavy rainfall, fresh water is scarce, and islanders depend upon coconuts and marine life for subsistence. Shipping is hampered by a lack of good anchorages. Local administration consists of a Taupulega (Council of Elders), made up of heads of family groups and two elected members. Area 1.4 square miles (3.5 square km). Pop. (2006) 417.

I've used WP MU for several years for one of my sites, but this is the first time I've run across this suite of problems. I've set up a new installation of WordPress an enabled the network. Set up the main site yesterday with no problems. The multisite network is configured to store additional sites in directories--we plan to point domains at the directories.
The main site:
The second site on the network (with problems):
The second site isn't showing any style sheet and the dashboard for the second site generates an error page that says: "The page isn't redirecting properly. Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."
It smells like a directory path problem. I've installed the proper network code in the wp-config.php and .htaccess files for the parent site.
Any ideas?

Want to own a big — and we use that adjective in the literal sense — piece of automotive history? A rare General Motors Futurliner — built for the automaker's Parade of Progress exhibitions in the 1940s and 1950s — heading to auction next month.
Scheduled to hit the auction block (but likely not roll across it, given its size) at RM Auctions' Auctions of America Auburn Spring event in Indiana is one of the 12 Futurliners built. GM first constructed the coaches in 1940 to help move its mobile marketing campaign from city to city, but updated the coaches in 1953 for a revived fair. Built by GM's Truck & Coach division in Pontiac, Michigan, Futurliners measured in at 33 feet long, 8 feet wide, almost 12 feet tall, and tipped the scales at 30,000 pounds. Despite the heft, the updated Futurliners used only GMC's 302-cubic-inch I-6 for power.
Few Futurliners were built, and even fewer still remain on this earth. During the process of restoring its example, the National Automotive and Truck Museum of the United States located 9 of the 12, and noted two are well beyond restoration. This present example, once owned by noted concept car magnate Joe Bortz, is unrestored, but is still fairly solid and remarkably complete. The bus does, for instance, retain its original exterior lettering, much of which had to be fabricated from scratch for NATMUS' restoration. This Futurliner isn't running at this point, but does come with eight new tires (two at each corner), a new plexiglass windshield, new rubber moldings, and new fluted aluminum paneling.
So, what will this example fetch at auction? It's anyone's guess. A well-restored example famously sold for $4.3 million in 2006, but RM expects this particular truck to bring in somewhere between $450,000 and $600,000 before even factoring in the labor and cost involved with completing the restoration (judging by NATMUS' work diary, a new buyer may have their work cut out for them). The Auburn Spring auction runs fromFriday, May 13through Sunday, May 15 in Auburn, Indiana.

All Sorts of Weird Stuff offers news and information about George R.R. Martin, in particular about his A Song of Ice and Fire series.
"When I was young, I read all sorts of stuff. One week it would be Lovecraft, the next Vance. It was all imaginative literature, or as my dad called it 'Weird Stuff.' It was all 'Weird Stuff.'"
George R.R. Martin
New to the series? Read our spoiler-free review of A Game of Thrones.
Read our Privacy Policy.
As previously revealed, George R. R. Martin and Gardner Dozois will be co-editing a tribute anthology titled Songs of the Dying Earth, featuring a number of others contributing original tales set in Jack Vance's memorable Dying Earth milieu.
