It's been three weeks since I sent my rats Dumbo and Mouse to Yorkshire while I went on vacation, and the withdrawal symptoms are starting to develop. Usually when I come down first thing in the morning, the rats clamber around on the cage bars, desperate for some attention (or food). Now only Leon the hamster is here, and he couldn't care less about a morning greeting. I'm used to expecting the rats to listen out and want to play 24/7. It's sort of sad how used to my rats I am.
Anyway, the real withdrawal symptoms are the dreams I keep having about them, as if I don't miss my little ones enough when I'm awake! According to the Dream Moods website, "to see rats in your dream signifies feelings of doubt, guilt and envy. You are feeling unworthy. Something that you are keeping to yourself is eating you up." I didn't believe any of that of course, so I looked up pets instead, which suggested, "You are lacking attention from others and are feeling neglected." Too right, I am! I want my rats' attention!
Thankfully, my brother is bringing them home this weekend. As a little present for them, I might be getting them a brand new, sparkling cage. I can't keep their huge cage, because there just isn't enough room here, and their other cage is too small.
I'm searching for a cage that isn't too wide but is quite tall, as both rats like to spring around so much. I can hang various things from the cage, little ladders and hammocks and sputniks — if I can find any at last!
I am probably a little too excited about the new cage, but the rats definitely need a new place to call home, especially with Dumbo getting fatter and fatter, and Mouse growing to adult size.
I'm so excited about having my rats back. I've missed all their affectionate licking and the crazy antics.
I can't remember if I already mentioned this, but Mouse has taken to sleeping in the water bowl (now empty of water and replaced by a bottle). Little weirdo ...

More minions? 'Despicable Me 2' says yes — fortunately
After witnessing Gru transform from a super-villain to a super-dad with a Play-Doh heart at the end of 2010's "Despicable Me," there was just no way there wouldn't be a sequel.
And "Despicable Me 2," which opens in theaters Wednesday, is better than the original — but not for its storytelling. The 98-minute movie replaces things like plot details with what the audience is clearly more interested in seeing: minions, adorable daddy-daughter moments (Gru, voiced by Steve Carell, dressing up as a "Gruzinklebell" princess for Agnes' birthday) — and of course, for Gru to find the girls a mommy. »Read Full Article
Bieber reminds us that he still makes music
Justin Bieber, 19, has had a problematic PR year, to say the least, with damning headlines practically on a weekly basis. Bieber abandoned his monkey in Germany! Bieber allegedly visited a brothel in Brazil! Bieber urinated in a restaurant mop bucket and cussed out a picture of Bill Clinton!
But he's trying to end his year reminding people he's actually a musician with an iTunes exclusive album, "Journals." Released Monday and reportedly only available as a bundle of songs for two weeks, "Journals" features 10 songs that were previously released on a weekly basis starting in October as part of his recent Music Monday series, plus five brand new tunes. »Read Full Article(11)

This week marks the beginning of the Raiders training camp and also the week in which the Raiders have signed all of their rookies. Yet, as a football fanatic, I am already beginning to wonder which players the Raiders will draft next year.
First off, I have to thank Walter Cherepinsky and his great site www.walterfootball.com , for all the amazing information on the prospects and their projected rounds. This site is especially useful for diehard football fans around draft season, and I promise you will not find a site for the college prospects entering the draft that is better than this.
This year the Raiders had one of the best drafts of any teams, and I feel this trend will continue in 2011. I will start with the Raiders second round pick (since the trade for Richard Seymour gave the Patriots our 2011 first round pick) and I will be assuming the Raiders will be drafting in the middle of the round (since experts are predicting a 7-9, 8-8, or 9-7 finish). The Raiders will stick to their philosophy of drafting leaders from their respective college teams who hate to lose and will bring that mentality to the Raiders. So without further adieu, the Raiders second round pick of 2011 is . . .

Their #IGCExperience
Good day Darren and Jim, on behalf of those attendees from the Lakeside Seniors golf group, I would like to thank you for an absolutely fantastic golf experience today at Innisfail golf club. The course was in great shape (as usual) and everyone really enjoyed their time on the course, not even the weather dampened anyone's spirits.
Everyone raved about the meal and were extremely surprised at the buffet and the quality of our meal. Although we passed along our thanks to the chef, we are asking that you please let the kitchen staff know what a great job they had done. Please make sure your entire pro shop staff and golf course staff are thanked for a great job.
We look forward to returning as a group and definitely my wife and myself will be back soon.
Have a great season and best of luck to all.Warren Smandych
I would like to say that your facility was great. The course was in great shape and terrific in every way. Your food & beverage staff were friendly, the pro shop well organized and it was nice to see a few marshals on the course trying to keep the pace of play. I suspect we were a tad slow but they were courteous but firm – just right. All of our 12 guys said they were very impressed and our organizer promised us that this is a hidden gem. He was right and then some. A few of us have been fortunate enough to play many other courses in Canada, the US and around the world. Innisfail doesn't take a back seat to many.
Thanks again for a great experience. I will be back.Unknown

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
Hello,No. The Congress has the authority to pass laws which the President must sign before they become laws.However, the President does have certain powers of the Executive Branch under Article III of the Constitution. For instance:
Of the above, Executive Orders are the most problematic. They are legally binding orders given by the President, acting as the head of the Executive Branch, to Federal Administrative Agencies. Executive Orders are generally used to direct federal agencies and officials in their execution of congressionally established laws or policies. Although they are not considered "laws" as such, they have the same legal weight as laws passed by Congress, and they do not need Congressional approval.Thanks.

Ride will aid officers' survivors
MONTPELIER — Ride4Cops will be rolling through Montpelier on Friday at noon, when organization leaders plan to join Attorney General William Sorrell and Senate President John Campbell at the Statehouse to honor police officers who have died in service to Vermont. The national organization will donate $2,000 to help surviving families. The event will feature Ride4Cops founder Harry Herington's custom memorial motorcycle and a core group of motorcycle riders.
The next day approximately 300 riders will take to the road at 12:30 p.m. from the Rutland police barracks and traveling through Vermont before ending their journey at the Franklin County sheriff's office in St. Albans.
"As a former police officer I know that an officer's biggest concern isn't falling in the line of duty, but what will happen to his or her family if that occurs," Herington said in a news release. Ride4Cops says it donates 100 percent of the money it raises to Concerns of Police Survivors, which provides support to surviving families and co-workers of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty.MORE IN This Just InHarwood Union graduate Haley Spittle was named North Atlantic Conference Player of the Week after...

Thank You Dallas, Texas!!
If you were one of the many, many people who watched the Screen Actors Guild award show last night, you have probably heard enough "thanks you's" to last until next year. If this is the case, we'll go ahead and apologize because we simply have to throw out one gigantic thank you to the fine folks in Dallas, Texas.
Instructors Eileen Rafferty and Tony Rizzuto wrapped up our third Photo Weekend of the 2012 season yesterday in Dallas. By all accounts, a solid amount of fun was had by instructors and participants alike.
Here are a few comments we have received since the event wrapped up yesterday:
"Tony is a fabulous presenter. Course content was great."
"Eileen did a great job. She covered the material very well."
"People aren't exaggerating when they talk about how creative Eileen is! She blew my mind during this session and really inspired me to expand my creativity and taught me how to as well."
"I learned SO much in a span of two hours!! Thanks so much to Tony Rizzuto for being such an interesting and fun teacher!"
If you were at the Photo Weekend and want some more RMSP-style photography education, or are ready to jump into learning more about photography, we will be returning to Texas from April 7 – 13, 2012 with our Basic Photography in Fredericksburg, TX workshop. With longtime RMSP instructor Lynn Hoffman-Brouse at the helm, you will spend your week learning from classroom lectures, on-location field assignments and engaging in group critiques as you confidently move from shooting in Program mode to Manual mode.

In-n-Out California: Circulating Things and the Globalization of the West Coast

Announcement ID:
In-n-Out California: Circulating Things and the Globalization of the West Coast
Organizers: Tiago Saraiva, Cathryn Carson, Massimo Mazzotti UC Berkeley, 5-7 September 2013
Co-sponsored by the UC Berkeley Office for History of Science and Technology and the Drexel University STS Center.
Scholars interested in the history of the West Coast have thoroughly explored the material culture of California. Square tomatoes, rockets, dams, surf boards, cyclotrons, LSD, or iPods are all common ingredients in the making of historical narratives of the Golden State. Strangely enough, many such narratives have too much of a local flavor: they don't fully acknowledge the global circulation of those things that have produced California. This workshop deals with the double process of getting things In-n-Out of California, pointing, for example, to the ways, on the one hand, that Californian agribusiness relied on a constant supply of new varieties of crops brought into the state by plant hunters crossing many disparate regions of the globe, while, on the other hand, its standardized products, be it oranges, avocados, or wine, were shipped to international markets and became cases in point in the globalization of food. We point to globalization in the double sense that those things were the result of multiple trajectories originating from all over the world converging in California, at the same time that many things found their way out of California to produce what is commonly perceived as the globalized world. We are well aware of the trickiness and looseness associated with the concept of globalization. Too frequently the buzzword is used uncritically to cover the lack of a proper understanding of concrete historical dynamics. Indeed, one of the aims of the workshop is to get some grip on globalization by exploring narratives from the ground up through the circulation of concrete things. Specifically, a quick look at the list of things we can identify with the presence of California in the world reveals the historical relevance of engineers' and scientists' work in putting them in circulation. It may be suggestive to think of places like laboratories as centers of circulation where things come in, are processed, and get ready to sustain new worlds. We expect spatial issues to play an important role in our discussions. We are interested in exploring the ability of California history to help us deal with the different scales involved in historical explanations at large. California has the potential to problematize taken-for-granted notions of what constitutes the local, the region, the nation, the empire, or the globe. It also promises a fertile ground for the growing community of scholars interested in transnational historical dynamics. We welcome approaches that reveal the intricate historical processes of circulating things and making California a global space. Papers dealing with the many obstacles involved in getting things In-n-Out, and offering a sober reminder that globalization is no teleological tale, are strongly encouraged: the multiple failed copies of Silicon Valley spread around the globe, or the many tropical crops that failed to thrive in the Californian Garden of Eden. The same example of the In-N-Out burger chain also suggests how standardized things, in this case fast- food, can retain their local identity and have troubles in getting out of the West.
What travels attached to those things? Identities, skills, politics, markets, all contribute to make them thick things good to think with for scholars haunted by what globalization historically means. By calling for contributions from historians of science and technology, historians of the West, world historians, environmental historians, and Science and Technology Studies scholars, we want to establish the crucial place of California in globalization narratives and better understand the making of California.
Paper proposals should be about 300 words, accompanied by a short author bio. The deadline for consideration is April 20. Successful proposals will be announced by May 15. In order to make for productive working sessions, paper prototypes (powerpoints accepted) will be pre-circulated. These should be detailed enough to present the author's argument and materials, but also open and experimental to engage discussion. Paper prototypes are due on July 10.
Travel and lodging expenses in Berkeley will be covered by the organizers.
A follow-up to the Berkeley event will take place at Drexel University in Philadelphia in 2014 to prepare a collective volume for publication. Travel and lodging expenses will also be provided.
Please send proposals to all of the conference organizers Tiago Saraiva email@example.com, Cathryn Carson firstname.lastname@example.com, Massimo Mazzotti email@example.com

Great Artists Steal? A Music Theory Thought Experiment & a Worry about the Litigation of Popular Music
On February 19, 2015 By Lawrence Crane-Moscowitz February 16, 2015
Copyright law and popular music can sometimes appear to be strange bedfellows. The Founders were not likely to have intended this tension, given the fact that "promot[ing] the . . . useful Arts," is followed by a phrase that limits the exclusive right to use, only "securing [it] for limited Times to Authors and Inventors."

What's Going On? The Blurred Lines of Music Copyright Infringement
On September 24, 2014 By Alneada Biggers September 24, 2014
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Unfortunately, imitation—or rather artistic inspiration—has landed R&B singer Robin Thicke and super-producer Pharrell Williams in quite the legal brouhaha.
Since August 2013, there's been an ongoing legal battle over the similarities between Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" and Marvin Gaye's "Got to Give It Up." Over a [...]Continue Reading →

Good afternoon, and Happy Thanksgiving week to all our US followers. During this time of year in Northern Illinois we never know what the weather will be like. We can have high 60's one day and then only be in the 30's the next day. Fall has truly arrived.
Today is my day to share what I am "Thankful" for. That would have to be my loving husband. We have been married for 28-yrs and he has been my biggest supporter in whatever I to do. Whether that is working full-time as we raise our kids, or being a stay-at-home mom with hobbies. So when I was laid off 3-yrs ago I started my journey as a designer by making cards for family and friends. Then I started participating in challenges, and 2-yrs ago I became fully immersed in the Blog Community when I created Ruza's Craft Corner. He is one of my biggest fans, and I couldn't do what I do without him.
I made this card for him and will be slipping it into his briefcase this week.
I used the adorable Teddy Pilgrims in honor of Thanksgiving.
Remember to share how thankful you are with that one special person, or persons, in your life. They may already know how you feel, but it's always important to tell them. They love to hear it.
Until next time ... Enjoy!

In Missouri, you never know what the weather wants to do. some days it will be nice and sunny and then all of a sudden clouds come then starts raining sometimes even snowing. it affects the campus greatly by making it difficult for some students to walk to the cafeteria to eat.
The weather hasn't been too bad except for the past couple of weeks. We got a lot of snow here and classes were cancelled for several days each week, but hasn't effected our overall spring schedule. Most of the time the weather is manageable.
Has a few good days of beautiful weather, otherwise it's extremely humid or super cold
We live in Missouri. That should speak for itself. But usually it's very funny and bright, if not then it's raining. Overall, the weather doesn't stop anybody for participating in sports or extra-curriculars
The weather is great during the fall semester,but the weather during the winter is cold.

Another excellent way to make selections is with the Quick Select tool, especially in a case like this, where we're looking at a rather organic shape where the Elliptical or the Rectangular Marquee tools wont really work very well. Now, we could use a Lasso tool but the Quick Select is going to be even easier because the Quick Select tool is actually smart. So we can either tap the W key on the keyboard or we can select the Quick Select tool. You'll notice that just like the Marquee and the Lasso, we have different options for it in the Options bar. To begin with, we'll just click on the first icon.
That's going to allow us to click and drag in the boot area. And you can see, as I'm dragging down the boot the Quick Select tool is trying to guess really based on the colors that I'm clicking on, what the best selection would be. So when I release my cursor, this is the initial selection that I get. But if I continue using the Quick Select tool, and you can see that in the center of the Quick Select tool there's automatically a plus. In fact if we look up here in the Options bar, once I let go, Photoshop knew that I probably would want to add to my selection, so it automatically selected this second option.
So, every time that you click and drag with this tool, with those cross hairs, Photoshop's actually creating a color lookup table. So, every color that you pass that cross hair over, Photoshop goes, oh, you must want this color to be part of your selection. Now it selected a little bit too much in this case so what I'd want to do is actually hold down the Option key on the Mac or the Alt key on Windows. You can see that, that plus changes to a minus and you can see up here in the Options bar that the Option key is going to change to the minus option.
So now I'm going to click and drag through this area in order to remove it from the selection. And I'll click and drag here. And I'll click and drag right down here but Photoshop may or may not be able to make a great selection there. Let's go ahead and zoom in, I'll use Cmd+plus or Ctrl+plus on Windows, hold down the space bar and just scoot up my image. And it seems to be doing a fairly decent job. Oh, now I accidentally clicked with a plus icon. I wanted to subtract that area. So just like many of the tools in Photoshop, if I use Cmd+Z, I can undo what I've just done with that tool.
So this time I'll hold down the Option or the Alt key. We'll try to subtract this out. Now it's having a little bit of a hard time right down here in the bottom, because this tan color, it's not quite sure if it should select it or not. So instead of struggling with one tool, this is when I start to think, well, is there another tool that might be easier just to fix this little area? And for me that would be the Lasso tool, so I will tap the L key and that will switch me to the Lasso tool. Now in this case what I might want to do is tap the cap locks key on, so that I get this nice cross hair so I know exactly where I'm dragging.
And I want to add this area to my selection. So you don't have to start exactly in this little area right here, in fact let me zoom in, maybe even one more time. You don't have to start like right here where those marching ants are. Because I'm adding into my selection and all of this is already selected, if I click on the Add icon or hold down the Shift key, I can click anywhere in here and it doesn't affect anything, because this area's already selected. So a lot of times it's smoother to maybe, you know, start your stroke somewhere else and then come down and intersect and then add this area to your selection, right? And if you go out of this selection its not that big of a deal because then what you can do is just switch to the subtract from.
And again don't start like right there like, start wherever's comfortable, if it's comfortable to start out here. Because remember out here, now, is already unselected. So, doing this isn't going to do anything. So, you can start out here and then start your stroke. And then, just come and grab that and remove it from the selection. Right, again, I can hold down the Shift key. And, I'll start up here, and then we'll just add this area to the selection. And if I need to add anything else I can go ahead and do that. I'll hold down the space bar and just scoot around. Looks like I need to subtract this a little bit.
So, again I can start way out here, just go up a little bit to get that subtracted. Oop, and we've got a mistake over here, so again I can start anywhere out here, right? because this is already subtracted from this selection. And just come down, and sometimes it'll be more comfortable to drag in the other way. That just depends on your preference. So we can subtract that out as well. Alright, let's go ahead and zoom back out. I'm going to use Cmd+0 in order to zoom all the way to fit in window. So now that I have a good selection, I might want to still refine it just a little bit. And I can do that by using the Refine Edge tool. The Refine Edge tool works for both soft edged objects as well as hard edged objects.
And in another video we're going to use it on a soft edged object. But here, I'm going to actually skip over the top two sections. And I'm just going to use the adjust edge options because, this is a very, hard edged object, and the edge is really the same all the way around the boot. So, if I want to smooth the edge a little bit because it's looking a little rough down there where I made that selection with the Lasso tool, I can use the smooth option. And you can see how it's just making that, a little bit more smooth. Look at that, the difference between when it's at 100 versus when it's at zero.
So, I'm going to move that up quite a bit. And I might also want to add a little bit of a feather. I'm actually going to add a big feather for a minute to show you what it does, so there we can see now we've got this soft edge feather. Because when you add a feather, you then get to shift the edge based on that feather. So you can see as I shift the edge way in here, if I go to negative 100, it can play with that entire distance of the feather that I created, that soft edge. If I shift the edge the other way, you can see how it goes back out into that original background. So as I limit the feather amount I'm actually limiting the edge that I can shift in and sometimes it just really helps to be able to take your entire selection and just kind of pull it in a little bit or choke that selection. Otherwise sometimes you get a white halo around your object that you're trying to select.
So I think that this feather of one pixel is too big and I'm sure that if I zoomed in to 100% it would be. I need something down around like 0.2 in this case, so that when I do shift the edge, it's just barely moving the edge over, and I'm not going to go to negative 100, but something just like maybe minus 35 or 36. Alright, once I've refined my edge, we'll click OK. And then all I need to do is actually convert the selection into a mask. And I can do that by clicking on the mask icon down at the bottom of the layers panel.
So you might be wondering why I didn't use the feather slider on the properties panel, and I didn't use it because I wanted to not only add a little bit of a feather, but also be able to shift the edge as well as smooth the selection. So if I want to do all of those things, then I need to use Refine Edge. So as easy as that, I can remove the background from this boot. And then I could take this boot and transfer it, maybe use it in a different image, or it might be set the way it is if I wanted to say print this in a product catalog.

Immigration Reform
Planned Parenthood believes all people should have access to quality, affordable health care — regardless of income, insurance status, or citizenship. For nearly 100 years, Planned Parenthood has provided high-quality, confidential, nonjudgmental health care to women, men, and young people across the country. As a health care provider and advocate, Planned Parenthood's top priority is ensuring that all individuals have access to the health care they need, including the full range of reproductive health services. We all benefit when more people have access to health care.
Sadly, many immigrant individuals and families are unable to access quality, affordable health care coverage. Currently, federal law prohibits undocumented immigrants, as well as many lawfully present immigrants, from enrolling in Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Federal law also blocks undocumented immigrants from purchasing affordable health insurance on the Marketplace. Learn about citizenship and eligibility for health care coverage.
Barriers to health care coverage substantially impact low-income immigrant women and families. Here are the facts:
- Approximately 60 percent of low-income, non-citizen immigrant women of reproductive age lack health insurance, which is nearly twice the proportion of low-income U.S.-born women.
- Because many immigrant women are unable to access private or public health insurance coverage, they are less likely to access preventive health care, such as Pap tests, STD screenings, and birth control than U.S. women.
- Lack of access to health care, including preventive health care, contributes to poorer health outcomes for immigrant women. For example, Asian and Pacific Islander immigrant women have high rates of cervical cancer, and more than half of all pregnancies among Latina women are unintended.
- Lack of health insurance and high out-of-pocket costs are cited as major factors limiting immigrant women's access to preventive health care, including reproductive health care.
President Obama took a tremendous step forward in November 2014 by taking executive action to provide relief and expand deferred action for many aspiring citizens. Nevertheless, this relief is not permanent — and it also continues the unfair policies that exclude immigrants from accessing the health care they need. For permanent and comprehensive reform, Congress must pass legislation. And that legislation must ensure that immigrants have equal opportunity to health care.
Planned Parenthood will continue to advocate for quality, comprehensive coverage for all so that everyone, regardless of where they are from, can access the services they need no matter what. It's good policy — and it's the right thing to do.

great food for birthday
bf took me there for 30th just two of us for dinner. similar to the keg set up. dark with upscale modern decor. we sat inside, but the covered patio looked really nice service good. server attentive but not disturbing. bf ordered- fried calamari he loved them he ate entire plate to himself. his he the special as entre pasta with been shrimp and veggies. it was like the pasta version of surf and turf. he really enjoyed it but i thought the shrimps looked really small. i ordered- sushi special- rice over cooked, only 6 pieces, but was at decent attempt at it. that's what you get for ordering sushi at this type of restaurant. for an entree i had the most amazing beef tenderloin. i kid you not it melted in my mouth. full of flavour, juicy, beefy and just amazing. i would go back just for the tenderloin. a perfect cut dressed with fingerling potatoes and veggies. i also had it with a side of mushrooms. the sides were as expected, but the beef tenderloin was great. way better than the keg (which has gone downhill fast) drinks- bf had beer- maybe sleemans? and i had Pinot Gregorio for California- great good food we will return. exceeded my expectations- at least the beef tenderloin. so full we did not order dessert

Media & Technology: Sports Media
- College Athletics Officials Adamantly Against Pay for Play
by Paul Steinbach September 2013
The Division IA Athletic Directors' Association, a record 120 members of which met this week in Dallas, released a statement Wednesday relaying a unified "rejection of the 'pay-for-play' model" of student-athlete compensation.
- OSU, WVU, LSU in Damage Control as Expose Released
by Paul Steinbach September 2013
As journalistic bombshells go, Tuesday's release of the first in a five-part Sports Illustrated expose into past improprieties in the Oklahoma State University football program was widely regarded as a dud. That said, both Oklahoma State and West Virginia, the school at which one of the implicated former OSU coaches now works, were in full damage control as of Monday. OSU athletic director Mike Holder addressed the media, stating, "I apologize to all of the athletic directors in the [Big 12] conference for what's about to happen, what's about to be said about a member institution. That reflects on everyone, all of our brothers and peers." Holder, who has been in Stillwater since 1966 as a student or university employee (he became AD in 2005), went on to say, "I really feel like that at 65 years of age, everything that I've done until now has prepared me for this moment in time, so I just hope to make everybody proud at the end of this process." (He later said that his apology should not be taken as an admission of wrongdoing by OSU athletics.) A proces is under way at WVU, as well. A university source told The Charleston Gazette that an in-house investigation into the accusations against Mountaineers assistant coach Joe DeForest, who SI sources claim paid players performance bonuses while at OSU during a period spanning 2001 to 2007, will be done "quickly, but thoroughly" and will focus solely on his tenure at WVU.

- Hope (for Humanity) Springs Eternal at Spring Games
by Paul Steinbach April 2013
There's a lot of humanity at college football spring games in 2013. The University of Kentucky drew 50,831 to its game last Saturday. That's 30,506 more fans than had ever seen the Wildcats scrimmage before, and that places Kentucky second in the current spring game attendance rankings. But not for long. Alabama, which tees it up tomorrow, has averaged 86,089 fans per spring game during the six-year Nick Saban era.
- America's Oldest Ballparks Go Hollywood for '42'
by Michael Popke — AB Managing Editor April 2013
In the new Jackie Robinson biopic 42, which opened Friday, Brooklyn Dodgers shortstop Pee Wee Reese (played by Lucas Blake) does his best to put Robinson - portrayed to near-perfection by 30-year-old Chadwick Boseman - at ease in a hostile ballpark environment during his 1947 rookie season as the first African American player in Major League Baseball. "Maybe tomorrow, we'll all wear 42," Reese says. "That way, they won't be able to tell us apart."

On the one hand, you've got your World Baseball Classic. Haven't heard of it? Don't care? You're in good company. Top Major League Baseball players and their agents don't want to risk their gazillion-dollar careers by participating in it, and MLB owners concur. It's this weird sideshow, held in the middle of spring training, featuring the best ballplayers in Japan, Cuba, Venezuela and, er, the Netherlands, facing off against the USA's own Eric Hosmer and Giancarlo Stanton, among other household names.
- Football Playoff Likely to Impact Scheduling, FCS Budgets
by Paul Steinbach February 2013
What impact the new Division I college football playoff will have on regular-season scheduling is anybody's guess right now, since the makeup of a selection committee and criteria won't be determined until late April. That's when it might be known how much weight strength of schedule will carry when the first four-team playoff field is picked following the 2014 season.

Report: Patriots add Dominique Easley to NFI list, while Alfonzo Dennard and Aaron Dobson will start camp on PUP
|07.21.14 at 5:27 pm ET
With camp looming later this week, the Patriots reportedly made some procedural roster moves Monday designed to allow some of players who are injured or coming off offseason surgery more time to rehab before they get on the field.
According to Field Yates of ESPN, defensive lineman Dominique Easley, running back Roy Finch, linebacker Deontae Skinner and tackle Chris Martin have been placed on the non-football injury list.
Meanwhile, cornerback Alfonzo Dennard; wide receivers Aaron Dobson and Jeremy Gallon; defensive tackle Tommy Kelly and special teamer Matt Slater were placed on the physically unable to perform list. Most of the players in this grouping were either limited (working with a rehab group) or not present during the media portion of the spring workouts.
In both cases — the active/physically unable to perform list as well as the active/non-football injury list — they can come off the list and return to practice at any time after they have been cleared by the team's medical staff.
One thing worth noting is that both lists do not include tight end Rob Gronkowski, defensive lineman Vince Wilfork and linebacker Jerod Mayo, all of who suffered season-ending injuries last year.

Watch: Mac Miller gets artistic with new 'Of the Soul' video
Underdog rapper-turned-pop sensation Mac Miller is back with yet another video, this one for "Of the Soul," the latest single off of his No. 1 debut album "Blue Slide Park."
The Pittsburgh MC (and Cobra Starship pal) is in a more abstract mode than in previous videos. His "Day in the Life" clip series, as well as other videos for songs like "Donald Trump" and "Senior Skip Day," found him at house parties, in parks, at the store, or working at a sandwich shop, usually surrounded by members of his crew. "Of the Soul," however, features a spartan set comprised of a white room with a backdrop displaying his album art.
Alternating outfits (including a hip pair of specs), Miller raps almost continuously as the restless camera tracks, dollies, pans and spins around him, while several lovely ladies perform somewhat balletic dance moves. Pretty basic stuff suited for a song that's more mellow and less frenetic than his previous singles.
Ian Wolfson directed the clip, as seen here:

|Here are some details about my project:
|Home Decor
|Whimsical, Funky, Casual
What are you most proud of? I like the color combination, and most [not all] of the points aligned perfectly. I also feel my quilting works well. I was able to sew straight lines that matched up with the points almost perfectly - not an easy thing to do for me!
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Just choose your favorite colors, and cut and sew carefully so all the points line up. Have patience and perseverence. I had to rip seams a few times to get the points and edges to line up and still had a few that were beyond repair due to small seam allowances. Grrrr!!! I repeat, cut carefully, and sew carefully.
I'm starting my first Rainbow Bear Paws quilt. What are the size of your colored squares and the size of the solid part of the paw? thanks June
Thanks Jose.
I love this quilt and it is on my list of "Quilt I love and will make one day". Thank you for sharing. Theodora
Gorgeous! One of my fav designs! Gorgeous colours :-)
Love the layout and colors? Was that a sixteen inch center square you worked from?

Workshop Labour as resource (XVIth-XIXth centuries)

Announcement ID:
Labour as resource.
Individuals, mobility and economic strategies in pre-industrial urban societies
Since 1980s, thanks to studies like Steven Kaplan's and Michael Sonenscher's ones, our comprehension of the pre-industrial work's organization has deeply changed. The role of guilds has been put into perspective, and many different kinds of "others" labours, beyond the guilds, have been detected and depicted.
Twenty years later, we wish to come back to this topic, by reviving the debate about work. During the modern age, labour was an intricate and fluctuating reality, more than the dichotomy guilds/free work would let us suppose. As we know, labour can assume many forms : it's sufficient to think about pluriactivité, seasonal works, geographical and professional mobility, women' work, etc. By contrast, the practise of the same activity all life long, the transmission of the job from father to son, and patterns of regular apprenticeship do not seem to be very widespread experiences.
This discussion is mostly necessary nowadays, when precarious jobs and processes of delocalisation of the production are the mains features of work's organization. Men and women are increasingly not concerned with the experience of a life long, permanent job. At the same time, flexibility is presented as the virtue of the XXIth century's worker, as well as a solution for firms needing to adapt their production to changes and evolutions of the labour market.
Our workshop focus on all kinds of pre-industrial work, in the perspective of labour as resource. For a good while, labour has been represented as an identity and a mark of belonging to a community, a group or a social class. By contrast, we wish to promote a debate on this topic within the field of social history, starting from a definition of work – issued from anthropology - as a primary individuals' resource.
In pre-industrial societies everyone, men and women – excepted for the aristocracy – was supposed to work, until the end of their lives. People were constantly dealing with impoverishment risk : to face this, a variety of strategies were set up, most of all concerning work, a veritable resource and not only the expression of individuals' sense of belonging and identity.
The workshop will focus on pre-industrial work as a complexe social resource, of which people is able to make use despite of (and thanks to) different and often conflicting sets of rules, in a variety of cases depending on life's cycle, social environment and personal goals.
The workshop is organised within the Marie Curie IEF FP7 project « Migrant workers across European Labour markets. Mobility, citizenship and urban resources in the pre-industrial cities (XVIth-XVIIIth century) » (http://sites.google.com/site/migrantworkeurolab/).
It will be take place at Centre Maurice Halbwachs (CNRS/EHESS/ENS), Paris, on February 11-13, 2010 (temporary dates).
Submissions should focus on pre-industrial European urban societies. We invite researchers, doctoral and post doctoral students to submit proposals on the following topics :
- working mobility, both professional and geographical
- pluriactivité
- informal work
- women's work
- seasonal and temporary works
- alternatives professional training (not in guilds)
Please send submissions (300 word abstracts and a short CV) and inquiries to Eleonora Canepari and Beatrice Zucca Micheletto at email@example.com
Submission deadline : August 15, 2009
Eleonora Canepari, Centre Maurice Halbwachs (CNRS/EHESS/ENS), Paris, France

Preston — Eight-year-old Aiden Roberts gave Strawberry Park's new splash pad a ringing endorsement Friday as the facility's first guest customer.
"I think instead of spending most of the day in the pool, I'll be spending most of the day in here," Aiden said.
His announcement surprised grandparents Lori and Jay Barry of Warren, R.I.
"He's a big pool man," Jay Barry said.
Aiden, also of Warren, got his grandparents up early Friday to make sure they got to the grand opening ceremony at 8:30 a.m. That was when Strawberry Park Activities Director Michelle Pedro took off her sneaker and stepped on one of two black rubber starter points on the concrete platform.
Instantly, water spouted from the many colorful pipes, umbrella-shaped sprayers and shower heads in the fenced-in area near the campground's three pools and recreation area. The water runs for 20 minutes at a time, and the black rubber circle has to be stepped on again to keep it running longer.
Strawberry Park owner Ed Mayer, Preston First Selectman Robert Congdon and Jewett City Savings Bank Assistant Vice President Gary Salinsky watched Aiden and Pedro splash and weave in and out of the sprayers with perhaps a bit of envy.
"I think I'm overdressed for the occasion," Salinsky said, referring to his suit and tie.
Mayer used Friday's opening of the new splash pad to announce that Strawberry Park, at 42 Pierce Road, will be open to the public for day-trippers for the first time Monday. Visitors will be able to participate in all 35 scheduled supervised daytime activities, use the three pools and the new splash pad for an admission fee of $12 for adults and $6 for children ages 3 to 17. Children under age 3 will be admitted free with an adult.
The splash pad will be open daily from 9 a.m. to dusk.
The splash pad cost $150,000 and consists of a 2,500-gallon underground water tank with filtered, chlorinated water that re-circulates through the system. The project was financed by Jewett City Savings Bank. Mayer said he had hoped to open the facility earlier this summer, but the long winter delayed construction. The facility received its final permits on Wednesday.
Mayer and Elite Resorts of Florida purchased the 160-acre Strawberry Park campground last June for $800,000 following a long, complicated bankruptcy proceeding.
Congdon said the campground, one of the town's biggest taxpayers, has proven to be a major asset to the town. Congdon welcomed the new splash pad and the opening of the park to day-trippers.
"Ed bought it a year ago, and he's worked very well with the town, with the building inspectors and the fire marshal," Congdon said.

BRAZIL: Infiniti to sell in Brazil from 2014
By Dave Leggett | 26 November 2012
Nissan's luxury Infiniti brand is planning to commence sales in Brazil from 2014.
Infiniti says it is expanding rapidly across the globe. This fiscal year saw sales starting in Singapore, Chile, Dominican Republic, South Africa and Australia. Hong Kong has been announced to launch in 2013.
Infiniti is planning two Infiniti Centres, in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, to be active from the third quarter of 2014. Additional outlets are planned for the states of Santa Catarina and Paraná within three years.
The luxury brand says that the Brazilian Infiniti Centres designed according to the IREDI concept (Infiniti Retail Environment Design Initiative). It says that includes a luxurious "lobby-lounge-gallery-concept with a bright entrance", as well as a spacious and air-conditioned showroom that "guarantees an unique elegance as well as a relaxing ambience".
Initially, the Infiniti model range in Brazil will comprise the Infiniti FX sport crossover, the 7-seater luxury crossover JX and an all-new sports sedan that is going to be launched soon.
"As part of Infiniti's worldwide expansion, Brazil is a logical addition to our footprint for premium car owners," said Johan de Nysschen, President of Infiniti.
"By 2014, premium vehicles with a unique combination of inspired performance, attentive hospitality and unparalleled quality will become a reality for the Brazilian market. We are delighted to enter Brazil as we know discerning customers there are very receptive to premium brands," he added.
