So the level of energy in our stadium is really looking great, but there is a particular zone that's really left out of the process so far, and that's the base around the platform. You'll see there is sort of a dark region here underneath the base where our pistons are. And what we want is we want to have these pistons not feel like pistons but tubes of energy pumping life into this platform, and so we're going to do that with a very special pass called the Ambient Occlusion Pass. That's going to give us a lot of extra detail that we can use as the basis for our glow. I'm going to go and show you the Ambient Occlusion Pass. If I go into the Video folder and into the Stadium Pass/ Special Passes folde,r I'll just double-click on that and here in the Footage window I leave the caps lock and in the Footage window, I want to scrub forward in time and you can see the Ambient Occlusion Pass on its own.
It is really beautiful and it has been used for amazing effect on a lot of commercials over the time, and what it is, is the result of geometry intersections. Any place where two pieces of geometry come together in space a little gradient is applied and that makes an image look much more real. But we're going to use this as the source for a glow and it's going to create a ton of energy in just the pistons for our scene. What I want to do, is put this into a precomp though before I use it in my main composition. The reason for that is that's going to give me a lot more control, the ability to affect this later on, because I know I'm going to want to do that.
And so I'm going to take Stadium_ao and drag it onto the New Comp button and I'll take this resulting composition. And put it in my Pre-COMP's folder and I'll call this Stadium_ao. Hit Return on the keyboard and change the name to Pre. And in the Stadium_ao PRE I'll open that up and you can see I'll just scrub forward in time to a point where our pistons are visible. And this is the Ambient Occlusion Pass in that precomposition. Let's go back to our main comp and take a look at the layers that we have there.
Now what we want to have is we want to have this reveal in a very similar way to how the stadium glow is being revealed. But rather than redo all those keyframes we can just duplicate this layer setup and use these layers as the basis for Ambient Occlusion Glow. So I'm going to select both of these layers by hold down the Shift key and I'm going to hit Command+D or Ctrl+D on the keyboard and duplicate those layers. You can see our glow got a lot more intense. What I want to do now is I want to replace just the Stadium Pass PRE layer and I'm going to do that using something called an Option+drag or an Alt+drag.
And if I go down to my Pre-COMP's and find my Stadium_ao PRE, if I select this Stadium Pass PRE, hold down the Alt key on the keyboard or the Option key on the Mac, and I'm going to drag this pass in to here. And when I let go, it automatically replaces the layer that was there before. Now my image turned white and the reason that it turned white is because of the Starglow effect. The Starglow effect bases its glow on light and dark values in the image and if you remember from our Stadium_ao PRE comp, most of the image is white, therefore most of the image is getting a glow right now and that's way too much.
What we need to do is we need to reverse the effect of this. We want to have glow where there is black and no glow whether is white right now. So what we're going to do is we're going to invert this image using a filter here in After Effects. But we're going to do it in the precomp, so that we can go back to our main composition and not have to worry about that filter anymore. I'm going to select the Stadium_ao layer and go to the Effects menu and go to the Channel menu and do Invert and what that does is that reverses the image and gives me a negative value, and so now I can see I have black mostly and white only in certain regions.
And what this does for me is it gives me the energy right where I need it, so any poster that is white now is going to get a glow. So let's go back to our main composition see what effect that had. As you can see I now have much more intense glow and that glow is happening primarily in the base regions underneath the platform. I need to make some adjustments to the Starglow effect though before I go forward. One of the downsides of the Starglow effect is that it creates these star patterns and that's why they call it Starglow. But if you use of star patterns a little too intensely or too long, they really start to feel like 1972 sort of disco ball feel and I don't want that.
I wanted to dial down that Streak Length. And so I'm going to go to the Starglow effect and dial down the Streak Length. Let's cut it down to like maybe three or four. Start off with three. As you can see my glow got a lot less intense. The next thing I want to do is dial down the Boost Light. Let's bring the Boost Light back to zero for this layer. And now I have just the right amount of energy in the platform. We're looking at this at half res, so I'm going to bring this to full resolution so we can get a more accurate picture for what's happening here. Yeah, I think that's looking really good. You can see now we have a ton of energy in these tubes that is just pulsating.
It's going to pulse right into this platform and that's all thanks to the Starglow effect using it on that Ambient Occlusion layer. The next thing I want to do is I've got a little bit too much glow happening up in the upper regions now. And if I solo out my Stadium_ao glow, you can see I have got lot more glow going on up here and I don't really necessarily want that. And I can control this by adjusting the Starglow options. So I'm going to go into the Pre-Process settings for the Starglow layer and I'm going to go to the Threshold and dial it down. I'm going to actually push it up a bit and that's going to limit where that glow shows up.
You can see that farther up I push it, the less glow I get and I can push it too far and get very little glow, but I just want to bring it up into the 80 range or so. You can see I have a lot less glow up top here and now when I un-solo this, my glow up top is much, much less intense and I still got a nice hot energy going on down here below. So as you can see, the compositing process in After Effects is really about understanding what you're capable of. This Ambient Occlusion Pass on its own was a beautiful render, but by combining it with a glow effect I'm able to get a very interesting effect within my image.
And that's all thanks to those compositing passes that we rendered from C4D. So as you can see that multi-pass compositing process gives you a ton of control.
- Setting up a multi-pass render
- Batch rendering in CINEMA 4D
- Importing 3D elements into After Effects
- Creating and using precomps for compositing control
- Compositing 3D text in a dynamic 3D environment
- Creating a glow effect using Trapcode Starglow
- Using 3D layers to create masking effects
- Adding a flash bulb effect with CC Light Rays
- Adding glows and glints to type
- Creating a 2D camera shake effect using pre-comps
- Adding depth of field with the Lens Blur effect

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
Dr. Mark Rivardo, Professor of Psychology, graduated from Saint Vincent in 1993 and returned as a faculty member in 1999. Like many other psychology students, he started out with an interest in clinical psychology, but after meeting Dr. John Serafin, he decided he wanted to teach and conduct his own research.
Dr. Rivardo enjoys working closely with his students, whether it be one-on-one with an advisee or with small teams of students in a seminar or research group. His favorite course is Research Thesis because it gives him the opportunity to help students create their own, unique research projects and see them present those projects at professional conferences.
"I work with students from the time they come here as first year students until they graduate and I love seeing them grow in skill, knowledge, and confidence."
Dr. Rivardo is also passionate about rock 'n roll and hockey. He plays bass, guitar, and sings backing vocals in the faculty-laden group, Phineas Gage (PA). He started playing ice hockey in graduate school, and actually met his wife on the ice!

Idea of the Day: How to Comprehensively Manage Household Risk Exposure
Household wealth—the difference between a household's assets and its debt—is a crucial aspect of economic security. It allows households to pay for necessities during an economic emergency, and it permits families to invest in their future—pay for their children's or their own education, start a business, switch jobs, move to advance their careers, and plan for a secure retirement.
For a family to benefit from it, household wealth has to actually be there when households need the economic security that comes from having wealth. Over the past few decades, however, household wealth has become increasingly volatile, meaning that wealth has swung up and down much more widely over the past two decades than it did in the preceding decades after World War II. Macroeconomic instability due to the housing and stock market bubbles—and bursts—is one of the contributing factors, but so is greater household-wealth risk exposure due to more investments in the housing and stock markets and greater household debt than in the past.

Papal resignation opens door to many contenders
VATICAN CITY -- Pope Benedict XVI's resignation opens the door to an array of possible successors, from the conservative cardinal of Milan to a contender from Ghana and several Latin Americans. But don't count on a radical change of course for the Catholic Church: Benedict appointed the majority of cardinals who will choose his successor from within their own ranks.
There's no clear front-runner, though several leading candidates have been mentioned over the years as having the qualities of a pope.
So, will the papacy return to Italy, after three decades of a Polish and a German pope? Or does Latin America, which counts about 40 percent of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics, deserve one of their own at the church's helm?
Will a younger cardinal be considered, now that future popes can feel freer to resign? Or will it again go to an experienced cardinal for another "transitional" papacy?
Some said Benedict's resignation presents an opportunity to turn to Africa or Latin America, where Catholicism is more vibrant.
The 110-plus cardinals who are under age 80 and eligible to vote will weigh those questions and more when they sequester in the Sistine Chapel in March.

Oral fluid diagnostic device maker expanding into molecular diagnostics with purchase of DNA/RNA sample collection kit maker.[© BildPix.de - Fotolia.com]
OraSure Technologies, which develops and manufactures oral fluid diagnostic devices, is expanding into the molecular diagnostics market with its $53 million cash acquisition of DNA Genotek. OraSure says that the deal will provide it with a complementary portfolio of products that enable collection, stabilization, transportation, and storage of high-quality DNA and RNA samples.
"Our companies share a common capability and passion to develop best-in-class oral fluid-based solutions. Since 2004, DNA Genotek has posted impressive financial revenue growth and profitability, and we fully expect that solid performance to continue," stated Douglas A. Michels, OraSure's president and CEO.
DNA Genotek—which will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of OraSure—generated approximately $14 million in total revenues last year. The company says it has been profitable in both operating and net income each of the past four years, during which it has seen "significant" revenue growth.
Based in Ottawa, Canada, DNA Genotek serves more than 3,000 customers in over 100 countries worldwide, including top research universities and hospitals in the U.S. DNA Genotek's lead product, the Oragene®•DNA sample collection kit, provides an all-in-one system for the collection, stabilization, transportation, and purification of DNA from saliva.
"Joining forces with OraSure at this time will be instrumental in taking DNA Genotek to the next level. Together we will have the ability to capitalize more quickly on the tremendous opportunity in the rapidly growing molecular research and clinical diagnostic markets," said Ian Curry, DNA Genotek's president and CEO.
The deal is subject to satisfaction of closing conditions. Upon closing, OraSure says it expects to record one-time acquisition-related charges, as well as noncash amortization charges related to the intellectual property it is acquiring.
OraSure says its DNA Genotek acquisition should have no impact on non-GAAP earnings, excluding transaction costs and required acquisition accounting adjustments, while adding to revenue growth this year. Next year and beyond, OraSure expects the deal to add to its non-GAAP earnings as well as revenue growth.
Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. served as exclusive financial advisor to OraSure, while Moelis & Company acted as advisors to DNA Genotek.

Earl remains a powerful 135-mph hurricane this afternoon. Although we certainly cannot rule out a direct strike on the East Coast this possibility appears less likely today.
The good news is that the storm has begun its much-anticipated turn to the northwest, National Hurricane Center forecaster Lixion Avila says. Nevertheless this afternoon's track models keep the storm quite close to the U.S. coast:
Colo. State
Much of the U.S. East Coast remains within the official track forecast's cone of uncertainty, and a hurricane watch has been issued for part of the North Carolina coast.
During a conference call with reporters this afternoon FEMA chief Craig Fugate and National Hurricane Center director Bill Read said the primary threat from Earl to the United States is not wind, but storm surge. This could scour beaches and inundate low-lying coastal areas.
For North Carolina decisions on whether to evacuate should be made by Wednesday morning, Fugate said, and be based on how vulnerable coastal properties are to surge.
I suspect the storm will cause a great deal of power outages along the East Coast. Earl came within about 100 miles of Puerto Rico and, at a lesser intensity, knocked out power to more than 200,000 homes.
If the storm's track shifts substantially westward we will be talking about much more severe consequences, of course. We'll just have to see if Earl continues to turn northwestward and then northward during the next day or two.
By this weekend Earl will likely strike Nova Scotia, in Canada, which actually recently experienced a large hurricane strike. In 2003 Hurricane Juan hit the southern edge of Nova Scotia near Halifax with sustained winds of 100 mph. It caused $200 million in damage and was the worst storm to hit the area in a century.
With luck Earl will be weaker than was Juan when it made landfall.
Fiona is no longer much of a threat. It has remained a minimal tropical storm today with 40-mph winds.
A satellite image from earlier today shows the system struggling to organize a coherent circulation. This is because Fiona is being sheared by a system in the upper levels of the atmosphere, and this pattern should continue for the next few days.
NASA Terra
As Fiona races behind Earl it should dissipate by Friday or so as the much larger storm breaks it apart.
The wave behind Fiona — dubbed 98L — has changed little today. It should continue to move nearly due west for the next several days and could develop. If it does it may threaten the Caribbean next week. It's worth keeping an eye on.

Winds down trees; snow next
Wind gusts knocked down trees and branches throughout the Erie area on Sunday.
Breezy conditions were expected to continue today, with snow also likely in the region.
Emergency dispatchers in the area reported numerous trees down Sunday.
An Erie County 911 supervisor said there were wires and trees down throughout the county Sunday morning. The call that led firefighters to a blaze at Lake Erie Dental on Peach Street originally came in as a report of a pole and wires down, the dispatcher said.
A woman called the Erie Times-News to report that two trees crashed on her friend's house on Cumberland Road in Harborcreek Township.
An East County dispatcher, along with officials in Crawford and Warren counties, said they'd all received reports of downed trees.
The Crawford County dispatcher said most of the calls came Sunday morning, with a few in the afternoon.
An official with the National Weather Service in Cleveland said the wind gusts recorded at Erie International Airport peaked at 59 mph on Sunday at 5:19 a.m. By late morning the strongest winds had moved to the east, he said.
Wind gusts and heavy snow are expected as the weather service issued a lake-effect snow warning through Wednesday morning.
The snow warning starts at 10 a.m. and lasts until 7 a.m. Wednesday. The weather service is expecting 10 to 20 inches of accumulation in that period.
Winds are expected from the west at 10 to 20 miles per hour with gusts up to 35 miles per hour close to Lake Erie. Temperatures are expected to dip down as low as 4 degrees, with a high near 20 degrees.
The wind chill is expected to be as low as minus 9 degrees.
Weather service officials warn motorists that driving conditions will be "slow and hazardous" with visibility down to a quarter-mile or less at times.

Awaiting Trial in a 6-by-9 cell, O.J. Endures the Tedium and Isolation of Life Behind Bars
Since his arrest on charges of murdering his former wife Nicole and her friend Ron Goldman, Simpson has been held without bail in this jail in downtown L.A., and he will remain here until his trial is completed. Although prosecutors have decided not to seek the death penalty, he faces a life sentence without parole if convicted of the double murder. This week he will mark his 100th day behind bars, coping with a world largely unknown to his fans or his friends—and totally unknown to his two young children.
Earlier this month, Simpson signed an agreement surrendering temporary custody of his son Justin, 6, and daughter Sydney, 8, to Louis and Juditha Brown, his ex-wife's parents, who live near Laguna Beach, Calif. The children, who have not seen their father, have been with their maternal grandparents since the killings. A friend of Nicole's says the children "don't know O.J.'s in jail. They think their dad is away helping the police [find the murderer], so he can't see them." Since the killings, the children have enrolled in a new private school where they are protected by their teachers. "They love it," says this friend.
Meanwhile, Simpson's legal team was forced back into damage control when an attorney for Jennifer Peace, a 23-year-old porn film star and companion of Simpson's close friend Al Cowlings, confirmed that she had been talking to prosecutors. Peace reportedly testified before a grand jury that Cowlings told her he had helped dispose of the murder weapon and that his bizarre freeway odyssey with O.J. five days after the slaying was, in fact, an attempt to flee to Mexico. Lawyers for O.J. and Cowlings dismiss her tale.
That journey in Simpson's white Bronco ended when police spotted the vehicle on the freeway and followed it to Simpson's Brentwood home, where O.J. finally surrendered. Taken to county jail, he was given a red wristband identifying him as a special-care inmate, and during his first week he was on a constant suicide watch, with guards checking on him four times an hour through the window in his cell door. Sometime during that first night, Simpson's only neighbor in the hallway, inmate BK1878449, communicated a greeting through the food tray slot in his own cell door nearby. "Hey, O.J.," said Erik Menendez. "I'm Erik. Down here. Next to you."
Such encounters between the famous are not unusual in the special wing of the L.A. County Jail known as the Penthouse or Celebrity Row. Kelsey Grammer (in 1990 for failing to attend an alcohol abuse program), Sean Penn (in 1987 for reckless driving) and Marlon Brando's son Christian (in 1990 before his trial for killing his sister's boyfriend) have all spent time there, isolated from the facility's 6,000 other inmates. Each prisoner is escorted by deputies whenever he leaves his cell—mostly as protection from other inmates who might seek notoriety by attacking a celebrity. Because conversations between prisoners can be introduced as evidence in court, jail spokesman George Ducoulombier says the solitude helps preserve "an atmosphere of confidentiality." Still, a source says, Simpson and Erik Menendez did communicate a few times, and Erik once managed to pass along a note. After five days, authorities put a stop to the conversations by moving Menendez to another wing.
Simpson spent six weeks in that first cell, a room smaller than the bathrooms in his Brentwood home. He could read, he could spend up to 2 hours a day making collect calls from a nearby pay phone, and, by peering through the opening in his cell door, he could watch game shows, sports, news and sitcoms—but no violence—on a communal TV in the passageway outside his cell.
According to other prisoners, those first days in jail are the worst. "It's almost like you're a disembodied spirit. You're just going through a robotic type motion," says Rickey Ross, a former L.A. Sheriffs Department detective who spent 82 days in the Penthouse in 1989 before multiple murder charges against him were dropped. "You can see it happening, but you can't really believe this is happening to you." After a while, though, Ross adds, the cell becomes something of a refuge. "You begin to understand why the inmates say 'my house' about their cell. Rather than the world keeping you in, the cell helps you keep the world out. Then you learn to live within yourself."
On Aug. 5, O.J. was transferred to another so-called high-power unit, a place for celebrities and gang members. There he was put into a more traditional barred cell on row G that is just 9 feet by 6 feet. He has a stainless-steel sink, a single chair and a toilet that he must scrub himself. His bed has a foam mattress—less than an inch thick—with a plastic cover, a blanket and a bed sheet, along with the orthopedic cervical pillow ordered by the court to help relieve an old football neck injury. A TV sits in the hall on a cart close enough for Simpson to turn it on and off. A pay phone is mounted on another cart within his reach.
O.J.'s attorney Robert Shapiro insists his celebrity client is not getting a softer ride than any other prisoner. "He has no fresh air; he sees no light other than when he is briefly in the car and brought to the courthouse," Shapiro says. "He eats the same food. He sleeps in the same conditions as the other inmates in that overcrowded institution. There are probably greater restrictions on him than on other inmates. It's not preferential [treatment], but it's different, and generally worse."
Sometimes "different" treatment carries a hefty price tag. On Aug. 11, Simpson was taken to L.A.'s Cedars-Sinai hospital for a biopsy of swollen lymph nodes in his right armpit. (The swelling was found to be nonmalignant.) Ordinarily, prisoners at the jail are treated at nearby USC Medical Center, but Simpson obtained a court order allowing him to choose his own hospital. In order to be transported there, he had to pay more than $2,000 to cover the cost of three unmarked cars with tinted windows, plus the services of five sheriff's deputies and a police lieutenant for security who remained at the hospital during the 3-hour stay.
The move to a new section of the jail didn't end O.J.'s isolation; he is still the only prisoner on his eight-cell row. Outside his barred door, a 36-foot-long corridor with a wall containing a coated-glass one-way window allows deputies to observe prisoners from a walkway without being seen themselves. "The deputies [also] have a video camera that pans the row while they watch him on monitors in a control booth," says a source familiar with security measures. "It's hard for O.J.—extremely hard," says a jail insider. "Twenty-four hours goes by like 48."
The official reason for the move was to cut down on overtime. It had cost $70,000 for an extra deputy to watch over Simpson at all times, considerably more than the $40 a day the county usually spends to house inmates. For that price, amenities are few. Each week the county provides a jail uniform—a blue shirt and trousers, a pair of briefs, a T-shirt, a pair of white socks and a towel. Like all inmates, Simpson is permitted to have four personal pairs of undershorts brought in each week. Other than his own comb, toothbrush and toothpaste, he has few other possessions in the cell.
Curiously, Simpson, who worked out often before his arrest, has shown little enthusiasm for exercise in jail. Though he has daily access to a rooftop workout area and a stationary bike in the prison hallway, he prefers the sanctuary of his cell.
As it happens, the only chance O.J. has for contact with any of the jail's other inmates is when he passes them on his way to see visitors or to meet with his attorneys. Those short trips are tightly choreographed. Whenever he is escorted down a corridor, the other prisoners are told to stand and face the wall, making conversation all but impossible. Following standard procedure, when Simpson leaves his cell for a shower—he is allowed two a week, plus additional showers on days when he appears in court—guards cuff his wrists to a chain around his waist. The chains are removed for the shower. And, unlike more dangerous prisoners, he is not required to wear leg manacles. "The leg shackles are not a hard-and-fast rule," says a jail source. "O.J. is not a threat to the officers. It's a judgment call."
Simpson is allowed unlimited visits with his lawyers. On weekdays he confers with Shapiro and other members of his legal team, including F. Lee Bailey and Johnnie Cochran Jr. Often accompanying the lawyers are his children from his first marriage, son Jason, 24, and daughter Arnelle, 25, who may both be called as witnesses at his trial. Some of the meetings, which often last for hours, take place in a special visiting room, remodeled at a cost of $3,000 to allow O.J. access to as many as four lawyers at once. Court papers are passed to Simpson only after a sheriff's deputy inspects them for prohibited materials like staples or paper clips.
Following jail procedures, Thursdays through Sundays are for visits from relatives and close friends. Nicole Pulvers, an assistant to Simpson's legal team, has been assigned the full-time duty of screening potential callers. These meetings take place in the regular visiting room with O.J. on one side of a pane of bulletproof glass and his visitor on the other. They talk on telephone headsets for about 30 minutes. "It makes me sick every time I go down there," says his most frequent visitor, Robert Kardashian, 50, a former business partner and close friend. (It was Kardashian's house from which Simpson disappeared on June 17.) "We can't have any contact. I want to hug him, I want to show him I care. But it's very difficult."
Other friends, including football buddies Marcus Allen, a fellow USC alumnus who now plays for the Kansas City Chiefs, and Bob Chandler, his onetime teammate on the Buffalo Bills, have dropped by. O.J. meets with both his psychiatrist, Dr. Saul Faerstein, and his physician, Dr. Robert Huizenga. In his jailhouse conversations, friends say, O.J. repeatedly denies any involvement in the killings with which he is charged.
Some Simpson intimates have yet to turn up at the men's facility, including his ailing 72-year-old mother, Eunice, who remains at home in San Francisco. But he did receive an unwelcome visitor recently when a representative for Sharon Rufo, Ron Goldman's mother, served Simpson with papers naming him in a wrongful-death suit.
Simpson has met several times with Cowlings, his pal and former Buffalo Bills teammate who is himself being investigated by a grand jury in the case. When Cowlings asked O.J. what to do about big money offers from the tabloids to tell his tale, Simpson was noncommittal. "O.J. told him to do what he had to do," a Cowlings friend says.
In jail, Simpson doesn't lack for activity. He spent several days fulfilling what is believed to be a $100,000 contract, signed with Signature Rookies Trading Cards before the murders, by autographing 2,500 picture cards of himself in a Buffalo Bills uniform. The prizes are to be randomly distributed in $5 packs of trading cards featuring rookies in various sports. "I wouldn't pay big money for a card signed in these circumstances. I think it's distasteful," says Tom Mortenson, editor of Sports Collectors Digest, a consumer magazine for trading cards.
In his cell, Simpson has plenty of reading material: legal papers, golf magazines and a copy of Clive Cussler's Inca Gold, a gift from Kardashian. Several times a week, Kardashian gives Simpson a sampling of the many letters he receives each day. (At one point he was getting up to 2,000 letters daily.) The vast majority are written by women who believe he is innocent—"I can't seem to get you out of my mind," wrote one woman from The Bronx—and many include donations to help with legal bills. "It's mind-boggling," says Kardashian. "They come from all ages. Some are from children who send in their allowances."
As in any jail, routine is the norm. On most days, Simpson rises at 5:30 a.m. An hour later a sheriff's deputy brings him breakfast—invariably pancakes or oatmeal, along with fruit and coffee. Lunch is served around 11 a.m. and dinner between 4 and 6. Gourmet fare is not on the menu. On Aug. 19, for example, Simpson dined on lasagna, salad, Jell-O and Kool-Aid for lunch and beef stew with vegetables, rice, coleslaw, pudding and coffee for dinner. "O.J. is not thrilled about the food," says a friend. At 10 p.m., lights go out.
On court days, Simpson is awakened an hour earlier so he can shower, then shave with a disposable razor issued by a watching deputy. At 7:30 he is escorted to a van for the 10-minute ride to superior court, where he changes into a suit and tie brought by his defense team. After court he changes back into his blue uniform and returns to jail in the van, usually escorted by two unmarked police cars.
Raymond Buckey, who spent five years at the men's facility before being exonerated of most charges in the McMartin Preschool child-molestation case, bitterly complained that Simpson has been getting "curbside service" for his court appearances. "We used to sit chained and shackled in the courthouse lockup until 10 or 11 at night until we got a ride back," he said. The lockup—where prisoners are held before and after court appearances—is a dismal place, observes former prisoner Rickey Ross. "It's a big, huge, filthy, stinking, urine-smelling, fecal-matter-smelling room with all kinds of obscene writing on the wall," he says. "It's right behind those courtroom doors. On the other side of those doors is hell."
Though Simpson's fame may bring him some privileges, his future hardly seems enviable. His trial is expected to last until Christmas, and his next residence will be up to the jury. If convicted, he will be transferred to a state penitentiary, possibly Northern California's super-tough and isolated Pelican Bay facility. If the jury deadlocks, he will stay, like the Menendez brothers, to await a new trial. If he is acquitted, he may have a celebratory destination already in mind. Simpson jokingly told associates he planned to be on the beach in Baja California within a few months.

Daniel Snyder wants to bring a Super Bowl to the Washington, D.C., area. He doesn't want the game to be held at FedEx Field.
Snyder instead wants it in the new stadium he intends to have built for his NFL squad "sooner than later." The architectural planning is already under way, he says. Where and how Snyder will acquire the land is another matter.

"Whether it's Washington, D.C., whether it's another stadium in Maryland, whether it's a stadium in Virginia, we've started the process," Snyder said in an interview with Comcast SportsNet Washington. An excerpt of the interview aired online Wednesday.
FedEx Field in Landover, Md., opened in 1997. In stadium years, it isn't obsolete. To Snyder, it's aging.
Snyder says he wants a "retro" facility akin to RFK Stadium, the multipurpose facility in D.C. that his team called home from 1961 to 1996.
"It's gonna feel like RFK. It's gonna move like RFK. I love that, I actually asked architectural firms to do it and they said that they can do it. I said that I think the lower bowl sections are going to want to rock the stadium like the old days," Snyder said in the interview.
A Super Bowl-contending team would make FedEx Field rock, but we digress.

At last, good care of the dying is on the American agenda. One can hardly pick up a newspaper, magazine, or medical journal without finding an article devoted to some aspect of end-of-life care. Many major medical organizations have joined the lament-sounded for the past 25 years by the hospice movement-that care of the dying is woefully inadequate, and they have challenged us to improve our palliative care practices [1–8]. Hospice programs have shown us what good care looks like, but these model programs have largely been restricted to patients with cancer who are expected to live for 6 months or less; these patients are usually in their last weeks of life, accept that they are dying, agree to forego "aggressive" treatment, and have caregivers at home.

"With You and with each other, we win, no matter what the score." Those are the final words of the Bishop Carroll football team prayer, written by Rev. Charles Amershek and the 1978 Huskies. Kneeling hand-in-hand with heads bowed, the team has joined in the pre-game ritual for decades. In the center of the tight team circle leading that prayer is not a Bishop Carroll coach or a captain, but rather the team's "head manager," 47-year old Raymond Boley.
"I do the prayer," he says proudly, "and then 1-2-3 Huskies."
Born with Down syndrome, the New Germany man may be the biggest fan the Huskies have ever had. He started working with the Bishop Carroll football program as a teenager; in fact, it was the same season that prayer was written - 32 years ago.

Raymond Boley stands by on the sideline prior to Bishop Carroll's game against Forest Hills this past week.
"He's the most vocal supporter of our team," said coach Craig Sponsky, who was just 8 years old and a Carroll water boy when he first met Ray. "He's very excited when we're doing well, and when we're not, he takes it harder than anyone else."
Craig's father, Chuck Sponsky was the head coach when Raymond's Bishop Carroll career began. Through three decades, two generations of coaching staffs and dozens of senior classes, Ray has been one shining constant of the Bishop Carroll football program. His voice can be heard up and down the sidelines as he cheers on the Huskies, paying particular attention to the defensive line.
"They need to stop the screen," he says.
Ray has supported the team as his three younger brothers all wore Huskies football uniforms; his sister was a cheerleader. It's been 18 years since his youngest sibling left B.C., but Raymond is still carrying water bottles and footballs, and razzing referees.
"Lucky for us, Raymond never graduates," said Sponsky.
The high school recognized Boley's contributions with an honorary diploma in 1983. Boley himself attended an occupational school, and works for the Association for the Blind and Handicapped.
And he's had his own athletic accomplishments. Raymond joined Joe Paterno as part of the Opening Ceremonies for the PA Special Olympics Summer Games in 1982. He then won three medals competing at the World Games in England. Ray also went to the Big 33 with Huskies' lineman, Steve Green, now a sophomore at Connecticut, as part of the all-star game's Buddy Program. But those experiences take a back seat to being part of the Bishop Carroll football team.
"Bishop Carroll is his life," said Ray's mom, Edie Boley. "I can't imagine Ray without the Huskies."
And they can't imagine life without Ray. Although he's never strapped on a helmet or made a tackle, he's the heart of the Huskies football program.
His speech, is not as clear as that of the football players' he loves so much, but Ray has no problem conveying his love for the Bishop Carroll team, coaches and fans.
"They are everything," he says. "Friday is my favorite day of the week, because that's football."
Another part of the Huskies' prayer says: "We thank You for the ability to play football and for the privilege of playing for Bishop Carroll Give us the strength to give 100 percent."
Perhaps no one lives those words better than the man who leads his team in them each and every week.
"From my seat," said Sponsky, "he's a really good living example of how lucky we are. Raymond helps us remember we should always give our best in everything we do."

Tue., 12:28pm: France `ready to punish' Syria over gas attack
August 27, 2013
PARIS — French President Francois Hollande said Tuesday that his country is prepared to take action against those responsible for gassing people in Syria....
Good point, Daniel. It looks like the oil man in the White House is going to make his buddies a little richer.

Has anyone given any thought about what is going to happen to the price of gas? I mean if someone passes gas sideways they use it as an excuse to raise prices.
3 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Fly all of our Death Row inmates over Syria, Strap parachutes on them, hand them a gun, their last MRE and wish them the best of luck. It's a win win situation.

Didn't the French save our******during the revolutionary war?

So the cheese eating surrender monkeys have decided to talk tough. Bwahahahaha! Seriously though, if France wants to deal with Syria, they can feel free to do so. It's about time someone else footed the bill for policing the world. We still need to stay out of it.

haha, France, I bet assad is terrified he might be attacked by a croissant. Its war, in war innocent people die all the time, who cares how they die. Is france threatening Obama for killing African kids in collateral drone damage? Of course not, they are just towing the Syria line.

Hi, i have purchase metrostore nice work ! If i enable "Add Store Code to Urls" in Web> Url Options, for multistore, your Theme Options Color don't work. It's a bug or it's not possible use with Store Code to Urls ?
Thanks in advance. Andrea.

Would like to purchase and have a question.
On the demo it shows a drop down menu top nav bar: EUR/US Do these link to store views, or to separate domains?
To explain further…. I want to display all products in 3 currencies -EUR/US/GBP. Will I need: 1) 3 domains with Magento installed 3 times with 3 SQL databases (to display different default currencies), or; 2.) can I have domain with 3 store views?
No this is not for seperate domains. Currency can be defined in each store from admin panel. You don't need to install magento three times.
It can be configured from admin panel. Each product can be configured for 3 currencies. You don't need to installed 3 times.
Let me know if you have any query or any issue.
I have purchased but cannot unzip using windows extract due to each file having a duplicate file of 0KB and when I use Winrar it gives 308 errors, can you please send me the correct file asap, thank you
Just looked it up, you need to delete all your .ds store files, was it zipped originally on a mac?
Nevermind, it was a vista issue with those files, all sorted

How much time is it taking ?
more than 45 seconds
Ohh this is too high. But its working absolutely fine here as gave you link above. Can you give me exact link of that page ?
i have sent you an email at firstname.lastname@example.com with video attachment please see it yourself its happen at my side here.
even at your demo store product view page is responding slow.
tried it in chrome, IE and Firefox

its also working fine here using pingdom tool and google tool but when tried it in chrome and IE i am experiencing this problem
NO, i didnt get video, please send it again to firstname.lastname@example.com

Working perfectly fine in my IE too.
its also working fine here using pingdom tool and google tool but when browse my site in chrome and IE i am experiencing slow product view page response
i have fixed this issue myself actually it was slow due to ADDTHIS – i had this problem couple of yrs ago with my asp.net website i was developing and experiencing slow page response after removing ADDTHIS code from my page it was working fine
i've done the same with your theme page view.html and page start responding fast
Ohh.. Thanks for notifying us.
about updating. I have downloaded the latest version V 1.1. My magento version is 1.8.1, should I only upload folder "Theme Files" or should also upload "Theme Files (patch only for Magento 22.214.171.124.x)" to make the theme work with magento 1.8.1?
I can not login as a custom. can not choose store view when add CMS page/block or add banners.
I can login now. but there still cannot can not choose store view when add CMS page/block or add banners.
I will check and update you. Also it would be better if you can create ticket on our support system. We can help you better.
I am considering buying your theme, but on the demo site I noticed that categories dropdown doesn't work(when pressing plus or minus icons) and when changing products layout in the categories not the same products are displayed. Do these issues exist only on the demo website?
Are you talking about responsive version?
No, the responsive version is working. Maybe only I have this issue.
Yes, as its working absolutely fine here.
OK thanks will check and update.

Jerry Rimmer thought the last place he would be celebrating his forty third wedding anniversary was at Durham Regional Hospital. Three days earlier he was evaluated at another health care facility and was told the chest pain and "spells" he was experiencing were nothing more than indigestion. After a few more days and a few more "spells," Rimmer visited an urgent care facility that discovered he was having a heart attack. They immediately called Person County Emergency Medical Services and Rimmer was quickly transferred to Durham Regional Hospital.
Rimmer was in the Durham Regional Emergency Department less than 30 minutes, then on to the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory where his coronary artery was opened a few minutes later. "Everyone was ready for me when I arrived," said Rimmer. It was discovered there were two blockages in Jerry's heart and Stewart Jones, DO, placed a stent to open both.
He was impressed with the care he received in all areas of the hospital he encountered. "My care was fast and the staff was very nice and took great care of me."
Within three weeks, he was back at work and doing his regular activities, including tending to his garden and boating at Hyco Lake. At Jerry's check-ups following the procedure, he has been told both he and his heart are healthy. "It wasn't how my wife wanted to celebrate our anniversary," said Rimmer "but my health was the best present I could give her after all these years."

March Option Update 1 comment
It appears that LDK Mar $5 put will require buy to close costing approximatley $.12. To continue earning time premium and working down our original cost basis I would recommend Sell to Open LDK Jun $5 put for $1.20.
As I said in my last post, STK will be closed on the buy/write at $21 for a tidy profit. As will JBL at $21 and RDWR at $31.
I discussed rolling up on the strike for WNR but given the market strength WNR has moved outside the range that I would recommend chasing it so I am recommending taking the profit and closing the buy/write at $16.
XRTX Mar $15 call will be called away closing our position in XRTX, for now.
Therefore, the only action needed today is to buy to close LDK Mar $5 put and Sell to Open LDK Jun $5 put.
I will recommend replacements early next week for STK, JBL, RDWR, WNR and XRTX which all closed with nice profits.
Watch HUSA on the bounce today for another chance to short. I wouldn't recommend shorting unless HUSA gets back to $10 but would point anyone to the balance sheet to review the "plenty of cash" statement made by the company in their update today.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.Back To Dark Horse Traders' Hedge's Instablog HomePage »

Bucks have big issues
St. Francis — Andrew Bogut's latest setback came in the final moments of the Milwaukee Bucks' loss to the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night.
The Bucks center suffered an injury to his left rib-cage area and had to leave the game and he was unable to practice Monday. He underwent an examination Monday morning and was evaluated again in the afternoon.
He will miss Tuesday night's home game against Detroit, but it was not immediately known how long he would be sidelined.
Bogut also recently expressed frustration over his limitations due to the right hand and right elbow injuries he suffered last April, saying they have not healed sufficiently. But he has continued to play, totaling 41 minutes against New York on Wednesday and 36 against Chicago.
With power forward Ersan Ilyasova out due to a concussion he suffered in practice Friday, the Bucks will be woefully thin on the front line as they play the Detroit Pistons.
But the injuries do offer rookie power forward Larry Sanders a chance for increased playing time.
The 6-foot-11 Sanders had his NBA Development League stint cut short due to Ilyasova's injury, and Sanders played 24 minutes against the Bulls.
The step up from the D-League to battling against Bulls center Joakim Noah and forward Carlos Boozer was a huge one, Sanders readily admitted.
"It was tough," Sanders said after the Bucks' practice Monday at the Cousins Center. "They're a very good team, very physical.
"I don't know many teams that can control their energy. It definitely was a challenge."
Sanders may have more serious challenges ahead, with 6-11 Detroit rookie Greg Monroe and forward Austin Daye facing the Bucks on Tuesday, Phoenix's Robin Lopez and Channing Frye in town on Friday and Boston's all-star power forward, Kevin Garnett, making a stop here on Sunday.
"He's making some progress as a player, there's no doubt about that," Bucks coach Scott Skiles said of Sanders. "He was overwhelmed by Joakim a little bit. But he overwhelmed all of us the other night in the first half. It wasn't just Larry.
"That's a good guy to be measuring yourself against because he (Noah) plays hard every minute he's on the floor. And if you're not ready for it, he's going to overwhelm you. It's a good experience for Larry."
Noah grabbed nine offensive rebounds in the first half and finished with a game-high 17 rebounds.
Sanders, the 15th overall pick in the 2010 draft, caught the attention of the Bucks scouting staff with his speed and athletic ability.
And he has displayed it in limited playing time over 37 games, including eight starts. He ranks second on the team with 44 blocked shots, including eight in one game against the Denver Nuggets.
"It's definitely an adjustment," said Sanders, who starred at Virginia Commonwealth. "Having that energy in college, like I did, is a lot different from having it in the NBA.
"There's a lot of stuff going on. You have to have that energy and be in the right place. You can't have that energy and clog up the play."
Skiles said there are steps Sanders must take as he continues his pro basketball education.
"He'll get some more chances for sure," Skiles said. "We have a need now because we're injured.
"He's got to stay in plays. He'll make an initial effort and sometimes it's OK. At this level, guys are going to play the possession out all the way to the end.
"It's just not a habit that he has yet, but he's much better at it. It's just staying with the speed of the game and the actions and what's going on. It's learning the NBA game. He's got to continue to keep working and getting better."
Sanders thought his brief stay with the D-League's Fort Wayne (Ind.) Red Ants was worthwhile. He played in two games with Fort Wayne and was scheduled to play two more before Ilyasova's injury forced the Bucks to recall him.
In his first game Sanders contributed 15 points and 14 rebounds as Fort Wayne won a home game against Springfield. The next night he had six points and six rebounds.
"It was good to play and I played a lot of minutes," Sanders said. "The guys down there were great. You get to see how hungry guys are to get to the NBA.
"They work hard and I hope they all make it. I have a newfound respect for the guys down there. It's a grind. I wanted to bring the most respect to them, let them know it's their team."
Sanders also said he could play a bit more freely when he wasn't facing NBA competition.
"Just being able to go out there and run, make mistakes and not being so tense about it was good," Sanders said. "It does something good for your confidence."

Providing the area with an alternative to traditional gyms, Planet Fitness, 1020 Commerce Park Drive, offers a relaxed atmosphere to workout for everyone from those experienced in fitness to individuals just starting out.
"Here we operate off of the principal that it doesn't matter what stage you're in," said Holly Young, club manager of the local gym. "No matter what, you belong here."
Young explained that the gym employs about 15 individuals, all of whom are more than happy to help or instruct members on exercising tips. As she explained, they want to educate members if they need it.
"(Members) feel at east when they're here," she said. "They don't feel stupid to ask questions or if they don't know what they're doing. It's really just about making sure everyone feels comfortable."
The gym, which is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, offers a 100 pieces of cardio equipment, free weights and weight-lifting machines. But the space is about to expand as a renovation project is underway.
It also offers tanning beds, hydro-massage beds and massage chairs. As Young explained, Planet Fitness is about more than sweating off the pounds.
"It's not just about losing weight but about wellness," she said.
The project to add about 4,200 square feet to the complex, which opened in December 2008, is expected to be completed by October, Young said. The extra space will allow for a renovation of locker rooms, a stretching and flexibility area and the possibility of adding more cardio machines.
"It's a big deal. People are excited," Young said of the project.
While some criticize the gym for not being a "real gym," Young said they are an affordable alternative to other gyms. With many having a preconceived idea of what a gym is, it sometimes scares people from joining one because they are intimidated. This is not the case at Planet Fitness, Young said. Memberships can be had for $20 or less and since its opening has had 20,000 people through its doors.
Young said members like the low cost of membership, the cleanliness and the availability of the gym.
"You get off at 11 p.m., what gym are you going to?" Young said on the convenience of the gym's hours.
And no matter how fit a members is, Young said there is no judging at Planet Fitness.
"The big thing is we're a judgment-free zone," she said.
