Big year
A big year is an informal competition among birders to see who can identify by sight or sound the largest number of species of birds within a single calendar year and within a specific geographical area. Popularized in North America, big years are commonly done within single US states and Canadian provinces, as well as within larger areas such as the entire world, the lower 48 continental U.S. states, or within the official American Birding Association Area. The ABA big year record of 770 species is currently held by John Weigel of Australia.[1] The world big year record of 6,042 species is held by Noah Strycker of the United States.
History of North American big years[edit]
The wide publication in 1934 of the first modern field guide by Roger Tory Peterson truly revolutionized birding. However, in that era, most birders did not travel widely. The earliest known continent wide Big Year record was compiled by Guy Emerson, a traveling businessman, who timed his business trips to coincide with the best birding seasons for different areas in North America. His best year was in 1939 when he saw 497 species. In 1952, Emerson's record was broken by Bob Smart, who saw 510 species.[2]
In 1953, Roger Tory Peterson and James Fisher took a 30,000 mile road trip visiting the wild places of North America. In 1955, they told the story of their travels in a book and a documentary film, both called Wild America. In one of the footnotes to the book Peterson said "My year's list at the end of 1953 was 572 species." In 1956 the bar was raised when a 25-year-old Englishman named Stuart Keith, following Peterson and Fisher's route, compiled a list of 598 species.
Keith's record stood for 15 years. In 1971, 18-year-old Ted Parker, in his last semester of high school in southeastern Pennsylvania, birded the eastern seaboard of North America extensively. That September, Parker enrolled in the University of Arizona in Tucson and found dozens of Southwestern U.S. and Pacific coast specialities. He ended the year with a list of 627 species.
The 1969 foundation of the American Birding Association standardized and regulated North American Big Years. The ABA Area was defined as the 49 continental U.S. states (excluding Hawaii), Canada, and the French islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon, plus adjacent waters to a distance of 200 miles from land or half the distance to a neighboring country, whichever distance is less.
In 1973 Kenn Kaufman and another birder, Floyd Murdoch, went after Parker's record. As recounted in the book Kingbird Highway, both broke the old record by a wide margin. Murdoch finished with 669 in the newly described ABA area to Kaufman's 666. Kaufman set a North American record of 671 species, with the addition of five species that he had seen in Baja California. Murdoch's record was broken in 1979 by James M. Vardaman, as recorded in his book Call Collect, Ask for Birdman. Vardaman saw 699 species that year and travelled 161,332 miles (137,145 by airplane; 20,305 by car; 3,337 by boat; 160 by bicycle; and 385 by foot). Benton Basham, in 1983, topped that with a total of 710. 1987 marked the second time that there was a competition during a single year, with Steve Perry ending up with 711 and Sandy Komito setting a new standard with 721. In 1992 Bill Rydell made a serious attempt at the record and ended with 714 species for the year.
Big year competitors of 1998 were the subject of a book, The Big Year, by Mark Obmascik. Three birders, Sandy Komito, Al Levantin, and Greg Miller, chased Komito's prior record of 721 birds. In the end Komito kept the record, listing 745 species[3] birds plus 3 submitted in 1998 and later accepted by state committees for a revised total of 748.[4] The book was adapted for the 2011 20th Century Fox film The Big Year.
In 2008, Lynn Barber, the Texas big year record holder, did a big year in the ABA area (see above) and finished with 723 bird species.[5]
In 2010, Chapel Hill, North Carolina birder Chris Hitt set out to try to find as many different species of birds as he could in the lower 48 states (excluding Alaska, Hawaii, and the country of Canada). He became the first birder to see 700+ species in the lower 48 in a single year, finishing with 704.[6] In the same year, Virginia birder Bob Ake ended the year with 731 species, an extraordinary total achieved without the benefit of the relatively unique weather effects of 1998.[7] Also in 2010, John Spahr finished his ABA area big year with 704 species.
In 2011, Colorado birder John Vanderpoel set out to complete a big year and had spotted over 700 species before November. Vanderpoel was considered a threat to Sandy Komito's big year record of 745 species, and was reportedly the fastest birder on record to reach 700 species in a year. However, ultimately John only managed 744 birds, missing out on the record by one (or four, with Komito's revised total).[8]
In 2013, Massachusetts birder Neil Hayward reluctantly decided to do an ABA big year. Neil reached 700 species on August 9, a full two weeks ahead of John Vanderpoel's 2011 pace. Neil ended his year on 747 species plus 3 provisionals (Rufous-necked Wood-rail (NM), Common Redstart (AK) and Eurasian Sparrowhawk (AK)).[9] The Wood-rail and Redstart were later accepted by the ABA (the Sparrowhawk rejected by the Alaska Checklist Committee) giving Neil a final total of 749, and setting a new ABA Big Year record. Hayward recounts the story of his Big Year in his book, "Lost Among the Birds" (Bloomsbury, June 2016).
In 2016, an unprecedented four birders are attempting ABA Area big years. Olaf Danielson, the pen name of a South Dakotan doctor, launched his "Bad Weather Big Year", reaching 700 species in May.[10] John Weigel, an Australian conservationist and Tasmanian devil activist, also launched his big year, called "Birding for Devils."[11] While not seeking to break the record, American birding activist and blogger Christian Hagenlocher's "The Birding Project" aims to attract more people to birding through a more social perspective.[12] Hagenlocher has also become the youngest person to break the 700-species barrier for an ABA big year. Photographer Laura Keene, also conducting a 2016 big year, broke Lynn Barber's Big Year record for women in September.[13] 2016 also marks the first time four birders have each seen over 700 species in the ABA Area in a year.
On 16 July 2016, Weigel saw his 750th species, a Buller's shearwater, breaking Hayward's previous record.[14]

World big years[edit]
In 2008, British couple Alan Davies and Ruth Miller traveled around the world, seeing 4341 species. In 2015, Oregon birder Noah Strycker launched a worldwide big year with the goal of seeing at least 5,000 species—roughly half of the world's species—as he traveled around the globe. On September 16, in India, he broke the existing record of 4,341 species, set in 2008 by Alan Davies and Ruth Miller, when he saw a Sri Lanka frogmouth for his 4,342nd species of the year. He finished the year with 6,042 bird species, his last species seen being an Oriental Bay Owl in Assam, India.[15] Strycker's record faced an immediate challenge in 2016 when Dutch birder Arjan Dwarshuis launched an effort to break it as well as raise money for the Birdlife Preventing Extinctions Programme.[16]
Many world big year birders aim to minimize costs through a sponsorship, and their carbon footprint through a carbon offset program.
Alternative big years[edit]
Traditional big year birders have drawn criticism from environmentalists for failing to consider the ecological impact of their travel. Several birders have attempted "green", or alternative big years to raise awareness for both birding and the environment.
In 2005, two British cycling birders decided to have a competition. Chris Mills in Norfolk, England and Simon Woolley, Hampshire, England competed over who would see the most birds by cycling only and hence become the UK Green Year list record holder. Chris Mills won setting a record of 251 bird species.
Starting in the summer of 2007, teenager Malkolm Boothroyd and his parents, Ken Madsen and Wendy Boothroyd, attempted a big year without the use of fossil fuels by planning to bicycle over 10,000 miles to get over 400 species for the year.[17] They started in their home province of the Yukon Territory, rode down the Pacific Coast, looping back around Arkansas to catch the Texas spring migration, then eastward to Florida. They dubbed this attempt a "bird year," rather than a big year. In the end, they covered more than 13,000 miles by bicycle and tallied 548 species, raising more than $25,000 for bird conservation in the process.[citation needed]
2014 saw the first continent-wide "green year", a big year executed with a minimum of environmental impact. In his rather extreme instance, Dorian Anderson bicycled 17,830 miles around the United States, amassing a self-powered, petroleum-free 617 species during his 365 days on America's roads. If Red-legged Honeycreeper, a would-be first for North American, is accepted by the ABA, he will add one additional bird to reach 618 species. Dorian visited 28 states (some twice) during his adventure and, beyond his species total, raised $49,000 for habitat conservation. He shunned all motorized transportation for the entire adventure, refusing even ferries that would have saved him sometimes hundreds of miles of riding around various bodies of water. Once hit by a car and many times nearly missed, it was a minor miracle that he survived the entire year without major injury.[18]

R. Kelly makes it all about the 'Ladies'
So often in music the name of a tour has little to nothing to do with the tour itself. But leave it to R. Kelly, the most dedicated man in R&B (his "Trapped in the Closet" hip-hopera, 22 chapters and counting, will never end) to really commit when it comes to a concept.
For his latest venture on the road - dubbed the "Single Ladies Tour" - R. Kelly transformed the Milwaukee Theatre on Saturday into a wild party for his shrieking, dancing female fans and some of the dressed-to-impress fellas scattered throughout the approximately two-thirds-full theater. »Read Full Article(4)

Ticket #206 (closed defect: wontfix)
Create Study fails when using non-standard Assay
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Operating system:
I've created an Assay Template called Microarray (and Microarray2). However when I select it in the drop-down box during study creation wizard, the necessary fields are not updated.
Clicking on clinical chemistry assay or metabolomics assay (the standard options) the field to be filled in change accordingly. When selecting a newly generated template no change in fields occurs.

Login as user "user".
Go to study Gse5509_2 and edit it.
Go through all steps untill step 5.
Try to add a new assay by changing the choice in the template drop-down box.
If you select "Clinical Chemistry Assay" or "Metabolomics Assay" or "Microarray (Affymetrix)" the fields below the drop-down box change accordingly, but not when you select Microarray (should have many fields, check template) or Microarray 2. Then nothing happens with the fields below.
comment:4 Changed 6 years ago by business@…
Robert says: maybe it it caused by Stringlists in these template that have a 'null' string to choose from. Have a look at template editor?
comment:5 Changed 6 years ago by e.vansomeren@…
Are you succesfull in creating your own (very simple) assay template and selecting it?
comment:6 Changed 6 years ago by work@…
comment:7 Changed 6 years ago by work@…
Tried to reproduce using GSE5509 (as I fixed that study when resolving #233). It turns out selecting the "MicroArray? 2" assay results in the following error:
Caused by: org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.taglib.exceptions.GrailsTagException?: Error executing tag <wizard:templateElements>: Cannot invoke method isInstance() on null object at /Users/jeroen/Workspace/grails/gscf/grails-app/views/wizard/pages/_assays.gsp:31

at Users_jeroen_Workspace_grails_gscf_grails_app_views_wizard_pagesassays_gsp$_run_closure1.doCall(_assays.gsp)
More specificaly, it breaks in:
.rendering [select] with name [platformtype] and value [-]
[description:PlatformType, name:platformtype, from:[null, Affymetrix, UPLS, GCMS, Orbitrap, LCMS nominal mass, LCMS accurate mass, Incyte, Illumina], value:null, required:false]
It seems like one of this STRINGLIST fields is 'null', just like Robert said. It seems like the template editor sometimes stores 'null'?
Editting the template only shows the following values in the STRINGLIST:
LCMS nominal mass
LCMS accurate mass
After editting the MicroArray? template's Platform field, the fields seem okay:
[Affymetrix, UPLS, GCMS, Orbitrap, LCMS nominal mass, LCMS accurate mass, Incyte, Illumina]
But now the 'label' field was causing a similar issue:
[null, Cy3, Cy5, biotin]
However, I can't get rid of the 'null' value by editting the template's 'label' field...
comment:8 Changed 6 years ago by work@…
Microarray Template Query:
SELECT b.fields_idx,b.template_field_id,c.* FROM template_template_field b LEFT JOIN template_field c ON (c.id=b.template_field_id) WHERE b.template_fields_id=(SELECT id FROM template WHERE entity='dbnp.studycapturing.Assay' AND name='Microarray') ORDER BY fields_idx ASC
Microarray template 'label' field:
SELECT * FROM template_field_list_item WHERE parent_id=658 ORDER BY list_entries_idx ASC
Returns 3 items (Cy3, biotin and Cy5) which is as expected.
After 'reloading' the study, the label field's values are now as expected as well...
comment:9 Changed 6 years ago by work@…
- Status changed from assigned to closed
- Resolution set to wontfix
Apparently, somehow the template editor inserted a 'null' field for some of the template fields. This seems to have been resolved at some point in time, as editting a STRINGLIST template field in a template which is not working properly actually fixes that broken field.
Closing this issue to 'wontfix', as while the templates on the CI instance sometimes seem to contain a 'null' value for certain fields, there does not seem to an issue (anymore) in the template editor causing this issue...
Eugene, if you -for some reason- encounter this issue again, then edit that template, open all STRINGLIST fields and 'save' them again.
If you, however encounter it again in a newly created template, please re-open this issue...

This is certainly one of the best places to go Chinese! There is way more great meals in here, I like having my lunch in here or taking out whatever looks good.
First time going and I was not let down by the positive reviews. Had the chicken curry and it was yummy! Loved the atmosphere; quiet, small, and the service was on point. I will go back again try something different.
Stopped by about 1:30 because it had good reviews unfortunately next day me and my girlfriend suffered from possible food poisoning .

You won't be disappointed. This restaurant has won awards for it's food. Try the banana dessert if you like bananas..sweet,sweet, mmm-mmm yummy
Also , the baby bok choy in oyster sauce is specatacular. This restaurant is very dark and intimate inside..a nice treat from the rush of your day. I very much enjoy this restaurant. The brunch is wonderful on Sundays too.

I would just like to let all of you loyal customers know that this place is not as sanitary as it would seem. Before quitting, there are several things that I learned about this restaurant. For one, they take the sauce from the tables and put it back and reuse it. Also, if something falls out of it's container,they ask that we put it back. I was shocked when I was told to do this. I threw food away because it hit the dirty work area and I got yelled at because I was ""wasting."" Not to mention, they pick into the food before they serve it. Also, employees are not required to wash their hands. I would just like to let everyone know because I was appalled when I saw these things going on which is one of the biggest reasons I quit.

I hesitate to write here. Given the other sterling reviews it will be redundant, but my entire family for three generations have eaten here regularly. When the kids come back into town skid marks are laid down as they turn into the parking lot. My personal favorites are the shrimp toast and hot and sour soup and Szechuen beef and cashew chicken and...well, you get the picture. Run, do not walk!

This is the best Chinese food that I have tasted in San Antonio. Not your ordinary ""fast food"" chain restaurants like PF Changs. If you like Szechuan style chinese food this is the place to go. Authentic!!
03/30/2009Provided by Citysearch -
My old favorite chinese restaurant was named Ling's Dragon off of FM78 on the northeast side of town. Unfortunately they closed and I was left without a favorite Chinese restaurant. Until a friend of mine who worked at Ling's recommended this place. It is awesome, my favorite is the spicy shredded chicken. Hsiu Yu has become my favorite Chinese restaurant thanks to the awesome food, great service (they all know me by name) and the great atmosphere. Other good Chinese restaurants are Ding How, Royal Inn, and Peng's Chinatown. Make sure to try one of these four before you go to an overrated place like PF Changs or Formosa Gardens.
Some of the best Chinese food in San Antonio!
01/06/2009Provided by Citysearch -
The food was fair if you want average Chinese food but its not ""cuisine"". I'd recommend PF Changs or Taipei if you are looking for great Asian dining.

Virtually all "planet ex" scenarious claim that it is here already in the inner solar system. Are they all incorrect? If not, when will it become detectable? Where is it? Specifically? [/quote]
Original Message
I'm not endorsing this notion, I'm merely the messenger.
Renowned astrophysicist Carl Sagan once described a "baloney detection kit" — a set of tools that skeptical thinkers use to investigate any new concept. A few of the key tools include a healthy distrust of information that isn't independently verified, critically assessing an idea rather than becoming irrationally attached to it simply because it's intriguing, and a preference for simple explanations over wildly speculative ones.
The waxing obsession with the planet Nibiru , which conspiracy theorists say is a planet swinging in from the outskirts of our solar system that is going to crash into Earth and wipe out humanity in 2012 — or, in some opinions, 2011 — shows that an astonishing number of people "are watching YouTube videos and visiting slick websites with nothing in their skeptical toolkit," in the words of David Morrison, a planetary astronomer at NASA Ames Research Center and senior scientist at the NASA Astrobiology Institute.
Morrison estimates that there are 2 million websites discussing the impending Nibiru-Earth collision. He receives, on average, five email inquiries about Nibiru every day. "At least a once a week I get a message from a young person — as young as 11 — who says they are ill and/or contemplating suicide because of the coming doomsday," Morrison told Life's Little Mysteries, a sister site to SPACE.com. What's the origin of this mass panic about Nibiru, which astronomers say doesn't exist?
A suspect origin
The idea that doomsday will result from a planetary collision was first proposed in 1995 by Nancy Lieder, a self-described "contactee." Lieder claims she has the ability to receive messages through an implant in her brain from aliens in the Zeta Reticuli star system. On her website, ZetaTalk, she stated that she was chosen to warn mankind of an impending planetary collision which would wipe out humanity in May 2003. (When no such cataclysmic event occurred, Lieder's followers chose 2012 as the new date for the Nibiru collision, which coincides neatly with other doomsday prophecies focused on the ending of the Mayan calendar.) [Doomsday Facts (or Fictions)]
Lieder originally called the bringer of doom "Planet X," and later connected it to a planet that was hypothesized to exist by a writer named Zecharia Sitchin in his book "The 12th Planet" (Harper 1976). According to Sitchin (1920-2010), the ancient Sumerians wrote about a giant planet called Nibiru — the "twelfth planet" in the solar system, after the other planets (including Pluto), the sun and moon — which has an oblong orbit that swings near Earth every 3,600 years. Humans actually evolved on Nibiru, he said, and colonized this planet during a previous flyby.

(2016-04-13 19:43)lovemyram4x4 Wrote: I haven't looked at any of the new code yet but figured it had to do with the changes for the file clean up. I'll just be careful for now and not use any current versions of afterwatch to remove duplicate recordings unless I'm sure they're really duplicates. For some reason MCEbuddy has been renaming/scraping many series recordings without proper/complete guide data as S01 E01 so I won't use afterwatch on those either if there's more than one file.
I end up with (1) on second duplicate (2) on third, etc because I have MCEbuddy set up to not over right files so the first file doesn't have (X) at the end. So in case that I discovered the issue on a split recording the first part didn't have a (X) at the end.
Oh, I'm also glad you added that delay to afterwatch, that actually helped with an issue that just popped up on my Shield TV with the original modified(by me) afterwatch were the highlight for yes/no on confirmation would jump back the episode screen immediately after it popped up. Not sure why it started doing that all of a sudden and only on that one device, but that's the reason I decided to finally update to your new version.
I've changed the code, so files ending on (1) etc will not be matched if not being played. You can get the new version from here:
I'm still in the process of creating a repository for Kodi, which is why the download URL is different. Not much experience with Github, so migrating the previous project failed (kind a frustrating to work with). So from now on I'll use https://github.com/jvandenbroek/jvandenbroek-kodi-repo/ to publish updates and hopefully somewhere in the near future, I can provide a repository add-on to automatically update new releases.

Teaching Interests
- Conservation Biology
- Introduction to Biostatistics
- Research Methods
- Kansas Plants and Landscapes
As a researcher, I am fascinated by the population biology of plants. My work has primarily been in three areas: 1) studies of the ecology and evolution of plant-fungus and plant-virus interactions, 2) research on the population dynamics of wild sunflowers, and the ecology and genetics of hybridization between crop and wild plants, and 3) long-term demographic studies of a rare prairie plant, Mead's milkweed, including using "mark recapture" models to estimate population size, detectability, and probability of survival. As an educator, I teach courses in conservation biology, biostatistics, and research methods. I have been fortunate to win several teaching awards, including a Chancellors Club Teaching Professorship. Finally, my outreach and service activities often involve outdoor education and interactions with secondary school science and math teachers.

why the hyperdunk sole?
New Videos
Subscribe to the Sneaker News Youtube Channel
January 31, 2012 BY John Kim / 6
In the earliest stages of the Nike Zoom KD IV, the design team played around with a few materials and structural pieces to make this early sample of the Nike Zoom KD IV. The all-new Adaptive Fit system was to be the highlight component of the Zoom KD IV, and here we see the familiar KD IV upper affixed with the Adaptive Fit strap, but with an outsole taken from the Nike Hyperfuse. This Innovation Kitchen-born sample also features the netted material seen the lightweight Hyperfuse, and a different 'KD' logo on the heel, which is stated to be a sticker. Would you like to see a similar 'Valentine's Day' colorway of the KD IV to drop? We've got a full angle of the rear three-quarter below so take a look and let us know what you think of this Hyperfuse sample design. via SC.

I've had a YouTube channel for about 5 years, I started under a diff account due to the three strikes your out original attempt to have some material that wasn't exclusively my own. Rockstar made a mission to pull leaked GTA IV video you can recall way back when, however, after a game is out and available, that became a non existent threat. I use Sony Handycam hybrid D8 Digital8 for analog tapes to record in DV quality video, to prove their effective Firewire conversion pass through, I plugged my Xbox into the came, connected to my laptop and captured video that way. Recorded to the 8mm tape format IIRC as well, so I got footage from that test that's yet to be uploaded. It's one method that takes away the slowdown inherent in running a capture app within the game, on PC

O'Brien concerned about linebacker depth
UNIVERSITY PARK – Bill O'Brien said he thinks about the unit "24/7," so it's clearly an area of concern for the Penn State coach this fall.
Is it the offensive line? No.
Secondary? No.
The new quarterback? No.
Those are all the usual question marks each season for the Nittany Lions, but O'Brien has a surprising area to worry about this year.
It's the linebackers, an oddity given that the Lions have produced one star player after another for the past decade.
"Whenever it's your turn to step up, it's go time, it's your time to shine," junior Mike Hull said. "And I'm ready to fill that spot and help our defense this year."
O'Brien isn't worried about Hull playing well as a first-year starter on the outside. The coach also has spoken several times about senior middle linebacker Glenn Carson being underrated, and he has high hopes for redshirt freshman and projected starter Nyeem Wartman.
The Lions appear to be in good shape in the starting unit, but as O'Brien has lamented several times, the lack of depth at linebacker is the reason for his concern.
"I think our three linebackers that are in starting spots right now, I believe that they are very, very good players," O'Brien said this past week. "They're tough guys, they're smart guys, and they're instinctive players."
With those three on the field together, Penn State probably will have few linebacker concerns. But if one or more of them get injured or need to be spelled, the Lions will have to turn to inexperienced, unproven backups to play major roles.
The primary backups at this point are redshirt freshmen Gary Wooten and Adam Cole, along with redshirt sophomore Ben Kline, who's sitting out spring drills after undergoing shoulder surgery.
"We certainly have to do a good job the rest of the spring and obviously over summer and into training camp of making sure that Carson, Hull and Wartman are as healthy as they possibly can be going into the opener," O'Brien said.
Carson was overshadowed by standouts Michael Mauti and Gerald Hodges last year but still had a solid season with 85 tackles (40 solo), three tackles for loss and one sack. He will have a chance to be the guy in the linebacker unit this season and earn the credit O'Brien believes he deserves.
"Obviously that's what I'm working toward, and I feel that I can fill that role," Carson said.
To do that, he will be focused on making more big plays.
"We kind of pride ourselves as linebackers to attending to detail and the little things," Carson said. "[That] is what's going to make you take the next step up – not missing tackles and instead of knocking down a ball, making that interception, making a play. That's something I'm really looking to do is make some bigger plays, take some more shots, make some more tackles for loss."
Hull gained a lot of attention last year when it became public he considered transferring to Pitt after the NCAA sanctions. Penn State is fortunate he stayed.
Hull played very well in a backup role, finishing with 58 tackles (34 solo), four sacks, five tackles for loss and two fumble recoveries. His highlight was a 74-yard fumble return for a TD against Navy.
"I've just been in the film room a lot, working really hard in the offseason workouts, and I'm ready to step up and be a leader and help the defense," Hull said.
Hull played a lot as a backup but will be counted on to be on the field for entire games this year. He's been concentrating on his conditioning in order to achieve that goal.
"Me and Glenn haven't really played much together," Hull said. "But we know the defense, we've been in the system for a year, and everything's going real smooth right now."
Hull saw the intensity and leadership Mauti and Hodges played with last year and plans to play the game the same way. He also knows how important it is for players like him, Carson and Wartman to carry on the great tradition of Linebacker U.
"It just motivates all of us to keep working toward the tradition [previous stars] left for us," Hull said.
Wartman played in two games last year before suffering a season-ending knee injury. He was able to get a medical redshirt, so he still has four years of eligibility.
The fact that Wartman has emerged as a projected starter coming off the injury is a testament to his skills and potential.
"I see a lot of athleticism in Nyeem, and plus you can see he's very physical sometimes taking on blockers and things like that," Carson said.
It's up to Carson and Hull to help mentor Wartman and the other young linebackers, just as the long line of PSU standouts have been mentored by the players who came before them.
"Nyeem's looked good so far," Hull said. "He's doing a great job coming in, and I think he's going to be a great player for us."

As the front man of GRAMMY Award-winning recording artists Maroon 5, Adam Levine has left an indelible mark on popular music and is set to extend his brand with the launch of his self-titled debut fragrance. The scents for men and women, which launch in February 2013 exclusively at Macy's and Macys.com, will reflect Levine's personality and style.
Levine has teamed up with ID Perfumes to develop his signature scent. "Both fragrances were shaped by Adam's discerning nose, while the bottles and packaging reflect his particular aesthetic sensibilities. This debut fragrance collection is everything a signature scent should be: both a portrait and extension of the brand itself. 'Adam Levine' for men and women is confident, deeply seductive, and timeless," said chairman and C.E.O. of ID Perfumes, Ilia Lekach.
The women's Eau de Parfum has an undeniably sexy signature. The floral woody scent boasts an overdose of spice intermingled with Indian jasmine petals, Australiansandalwood, and rose petals, to then unveil a base of creamy vanilla. The men's Eau de Toiletteis all parts invigorating and sophisticated with an edge. A vibrant rush of mandarin, grapefruit, and lemongrass is intensified by notes of amber,sandalwood, and cedarwood to reveal a fresh, yet intensely masculine fragrance.
Innovative yet classic, the bottles take the form of amicrophone, with a luxurious, weighted cap in silver mesh. The black stem resembles the wire of amicrophone, simple and sleek.
"I have been extremely passionate about this fragrance collection from the beginning. I find the things that inspire me in my everyday surroundings and express who I am as a person, which led me to the creative process of developing these scents. My goal was to create a line for men and women that is complex in its notes yet intriguing and invigorating," said Levine.
The fragrances will be sold in 1.0, 1.7, and 3.4 fl. oz. sizes at suggested retail prices of $35, $45, and $65, respectively. Gift sets and ancillary products will be released seasonally. The line will be available at Macy's and Macys.com in the US. It will also be available at Shopper's Drug Mart in Canada, with plans for increased distribution both domestically and internationally throughout the year.
To celebrate the fragrance launch and meet fans, Adam Levine will appear at Macy's Century City in Los Angeles on Thursday, February 7 th and Macy's Herald Square in New York on Friday, February 15 th.

Denver, CO – On Monday, March 7th, 2016, Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning announces his retirement during a press conference at the UCHealth Training Center. Manning talked about his retirement during the press conference.
"In my very first NFL game, I completed my first pass to Hall of Fame running back Marshall Faulk. I threw a touchdown in that same game to Marvin Harrison, who will be inducted into the Hall of Fame this August. The quarterback for our opponent, the Miami Dolphins, was, after my dad, my favorite player – Hall of Famer Dan Marino – who on the first third down of the game completed a 25-yard skinny post and it was the damndest throw I'd ever seen. Later, I completed a pass to tight end Marcus Pollard down the middle and somebody hit me really hard and after I got up I told myself, 'I know I can play in this league.'

It marked the first time since 1981 in which the franchise hired a general manager and head coach in the same off season. With the NFL Scouting Combine, free agency, the NFL Draft and the players' off season workout program on the horizon, Robinson and Mularkey have launched their efforts in earnest.

Thomas Frank "Tom" Mankiewicz (June 1, 1942 – July 31, 2010) was an American screenwriter/director/producer of motion pictures and television, best known for his work on the James Bond films and his contributions to Superman: The Movie and the television series Hart to Hart. He was the son of Joseph Mankiewicz and nephew of Herman Mankiewicz.[1]
Early life and career[edit]
Mankiewicz was born in Los Angeles on June 1, 1942.[2] His parents were Austrian-born actress Rose Stradner and the celebrated screenwriter/director Joseph L. Mankiewicz. In 1950, his father, after winning four Oscars in two years for the screenplays and direction of A Letter to Three Wives and All About Eve, decided to move his family back to New York City where he had been raised, the son of a German immigrant language professor.
Mankiewicz was a graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy (1955–59) and Yale College (1959–63). He majored in drama at Yale, completing the first two years of the Yale Drama School while still an undergraduate.
During vacations he worked at the Williamstown Summer Theater in Massachusetts both in production and as an actor. In 1961, he was hired as a third assistant director on The Comancheros, a film starring John Wayne and Lee Marvin, which was shot in the Monument Valley of Utah, the last film directed by Michael Curtiz.
In 1963, two young producers, Stuart Millar and Lawrence Turman, took Mankiewicz on as their assistant while making The Best Man, the 1964 film version of Gore Vidal's Broadway play starring Henry Fonda. He was involved in virtually every aspect of the film, receiving his first on-screen credit as "Production Associate."
Mankiewicz began to write, finishing an original screenplay, Please, about the last ninety minutes in the life of a suicidal young actress. It was optioned at times by three different studios, never made, but served as an example of his talent and was responsible for his first writing assignment, Bob Hope Chrysler Theater, directed by Stuart Rosenberg. He received a credit as "Thomas F. Mankiewicz," but thought it looked so pretentious on the screen he became "Tom" Mankiewicz for the rest of his career.
In 1967, Mankiewicz joined forces with a friend, Jack Haley Jr. to come up with a musical television special tailored for the then hugely popular Nancy Sinatra: Movin' with Nancy, co-starring Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and Lee Hazlewood. Mankiewicz was the sole writer and Haley won the Emmy for directing. This was followed by The Beat of the Brass, starring Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass in 1968.
Simultaneously, 20th Century Fox had optioned his original screenplay and after reading it, producer Joe Pasternak hired him to write The Sweet Ride about the California surfing community, starring Anthony Franciosa, Bob Denver, and introducing Jacqueline Bisset.
The combination of that screenplay and the TV specials led Broadway producer Fred Coe to ask Mankiewicz to write the book for Georgy!, the musical version of the film Georgy Girl. It opened at the Winter Garden Theatre in 1970, was nominated for three Tony Awards, but closed after four performances.
James Bond[edit]
Attending one of the four performances of Georgy was United Artists production head David Picker who admired Mankiewicz's book for the musical. Picker and James Bond producer Albert Broccoli were looking for a writer to do a major reworking of Diamonds Are Forever in hopes of luring Sean Connery back to play Bond. Picker suggested that Broccoli add Mankiewicz to his list of possibles. He was hired on a two-week guarantee, stayed on the film for six months and received shared screenplay credit with the original writer, Richard Maibaum.
This began a long relationship with the Bond films. Mankiewicz received sole writing credit on the next, Live and Let Die, shared credit with Maibaum on The Man with the Golden Gun, did an uncredited rewrite on The Spy Who Loved Me, and helped Broccoli and director Lewis Gilbert get Moonraker off the ground.
Script Doctor[edit]
In 1975, Mankiewicz wrote the screenplay for Mother, Jugs and Speed, a dark comedy about ambulance drivers starring Bill Cosby, Raquel Welch and Harvey Keitel. He co-produced the film with director Peter Yates who later asked Mankiewicz to come to the British Virgin Islands to do a major rewrite on Yates' next film, The Deep, with Robert Shaw and Jacqueline Bisset. The film was a huge box office success and cemented Mankiewicz's reputation as a "script doctor."[3]
He next performed a similar function on The Cassandra Crossing, starring Richard Harris, Sophia Loren, Burt Lancaster and Ava Gardner, receiving shared screenplay credit. This followed by his screenplay for The Eagle Has Landed, a World War II thriller with Michael Caine, Donald Sutherland and Robert Duvall.
During this time actor Peter Falk asked Universal Studios to hire Mankiewicz to read the scripts for his hit television series, Columbo, and make plot suggestions. He was paid a consulting fee on each episode for an entire season while performing no actual writing services.
In 1977, director Richard Donner was hired to direct Superman: The Movie and Superman II. At the time the script drafts combined were more than four hundred pages long (an impossible length to shoot) and Donner felt they were much too campy as well. He brought Mankiewicz aboard to do a complete overhaul in terms of length, dialogue and tone. Mankiewicz stayed on the production for more than a year, assisting Donner in other departments as well. Donner gave Mankiewicz a separate credit in the main title sequence: "Creative Consultant." The Writer's Guild strenuously objected on two grounds; first, that the traditional script arbitration process was being bypassed and second, that Mankiewicz's credit came after the original screenwriters and not before them, implying that his contribution was more important. The dispute went to a legal hearing. Mankiewicz won. His credit remained where it was on Superman: The Movie, but he agreed to have it come just before the listed screenwriters on Superman II.
Hart to Hart[edit]
During this time, television producers Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg had five successful series on the ABC Network simultaneously. They also had a potential "pilot" script by Sidney Sheldon called Double Twist which they were unable to sell. Goldberg knew Mankiewicz wanted to direct and told him if he rewrote the two-hour script successfully he could direct it. Mankiewicz agreed and turned it into Hart to Hart. It sold. He co-wrote and directed the pilot, starring Robert Wagner and Stefanie Powers. The hit series ran for five years and later was the subject of eight two-hour network and cable films. Mankiewicz received his "Creative Consultant" credit on each episode, while directing seven of them. He also directed the final cable film, Till Death Do Us Hart, in Munich, Germany, coming full circle on the show.
Script Doctor[edit]
Following Superman: The Movie, Warner Bros. signed Mankiewicz to an exclusive deal and kept him busy "fixing" films. He wrote scenes for Steven Spielberg and Joe Dante's Gremlins, Spielberg and Richard Donner's The Goonies and John Badham's WarGames. He next wrote the first draft of Batman, the opening film for that successful series, although Mankiewicz's draft was never used.
Then Richard Donner brought him onto Ladyhawke, the medieval romantic fantasy starring Matthew Broderick, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Rutger Hauer. He received shared screenplay credit and a separate credit as "Creative Consultant."
Mankiewicz next co-executive produced the film Hot Pursuit with John Cusack and Ben Stiller.
Later Career[edit]
He left Warner Bros., moving to Universal Studios where he co-wrote (with Dan Aykroyd and Alan Zweibel) and directed the film Dragnet, starring Aykroyd and Tom Hanks. It was one of the top grossers of 1987, and marked his feature debut as director.[4]
Mankiewicz next did an uncredited rewrite on Legal Eagles, a romantic comedy with Robert Redford and Debra Winger. He then directed the film Delirious, starring John Candy and Mariel Hemingway. Next he directed the season's opening episode of HBO's Tales from the Crypt. This was followed by his directing the Showtime film, Taking the Heat, with Alan Arkin, Peter Boyle, George Segal and Tony Goldwyn.
Mankiewicz's career slowed down in the 1990s. He later claimed he had been unofficially blacklisted when he left his agency, CAA.
Later, Mankiewicz helped Richard Donner reconstruct Donner's version of Superman II, restoring all of the original footage he had shot which had been altered or replaced by the producers, including multiple sequences with Marlon Brando which were seen by the public for the first time. Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut came out in 2006 and won the Saturn Award as the best DVD of the year.
Other pursuits[edit]
In 2006, The Dodge College of Film and Media Arts at Chapman University invited Mankiewicz to be their "Film Maker in Residence." He stayed on as a Trustee Professor, teaching a course in film making to their graduate students.
Mankiewicz had a home in Kenya for eight years. He served on the Board of Directors of the William Holden Wildlife Foundation, based there. For the past decade he had been closely involved with the Los Angeles Zoo, and was Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association.
He was an owner of thoroughbred race horses, having first partnered with actor Robert Wagner, then with A&M Records co-founder Jerry Moss, and later racing under his own silks. He was a past member of the Board of Directors of the Thoroughbred Owners of California.
Mankiewicz remained active in the Writer's and Director's Guilds and was a former member of the Board of Governors of the Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences.
He died at his home in Los Angeles from pancreatic cancer on July 31, 2010.[1]
In May 2012, My Life as a Mankiewicz was published. Written in collaboration with Robert Crane, the book was largely completed at the time of his death, but finished by Crane and published by the University Press of Kentucky.
In his book, Mankiewicz claimed he lost his virginity to Joan O'Brien while making The Comancheros. He also had affairs with actresses Dorothy Provine, Suzy Kendall, Carol Lynley,[5] Tuesday Weld,[6] Diane Cilento, Elizabeth Ashley, Jean Simmons, Kate Jackson, Stefanie Powers and Margot Kidder. He was also a very close friend to Natalie Wood and Jerry Moss.

Niall Horan is freaked out by fans posing as his parents on Twitter and insists they don't use the social network site.
The One Direction star is bemused by fake accounts on the social media website claiming to be profiles of his mother Maura Gallagher and father Bobby Horan and has warned fans his brother and sister-in-law are the only members of his family who use the micro-blogging community.
He wrote on Twitter: "My brother and Denise are the only ones with twitter so any of you pretending to be my parents! Stop ! It's actually really freaky! (sic)"
The 'Little Things' is close to his family and is said to have plans to whisk girlfriend Barbara Palvin away to Mullinger, Ireland, next month to introduce her to his parents.
A source previously said: "Babs has already met loads of Niall's friends and is really in with his London/Irish mates. But this will be the first time he has taken a girl back home to meet his whole family. It's really exciting, he can't wait for everyone to meet her."
Niall's fellow 'Story of My Life' hitmakers - Zayn, Harry Styles, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson - are thought to have already met Barbara while in London for the 'Class of '92' documentary film premiere in early December.

So my next question,
on some aircraft I have seen red squares on top of the fuselage with the words "cut here in emergency". Is there something special under the skin, e.g. are there less stringers (what I don´t believe) or no air conditioning tubes? And whose decision is it to mark these areas?, not every airline has this squares.

Sources close to the situation have confirmed that the 6-foot-10 McRoberts met with the Duke coaching staff earlier this week to finalize his decision. After receiving the full blessing of Mike Krzyzewski, McRoberts will prepare for pre-draft workouts.
He is likely to sign with an agent, which will forfeit his remaining college eligibility.
In 2007 McRoberts averaged 13.0 points, 7.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 2.5 blocks in 33 games with the Blue Devils.
With his departure, the Blue Devils' roster has a glaring hole in the middle with only seldom used center Brian Zoubek. However, Duke is expected to be one of the finalists in the recruiting battle for West Virginia's Patrick Patterson.

In his MMQB column on SI.com, Peter King writes that he expects Revis will be dealt before the 2013 NFL Draft.
I think I still wouldn't trade Darrelle Revis if I were the Jets. And I think New York GM John Idzik will try to find a way to not trade Revis. But in the end, I believe he'll go to Tampa Bay for two high draft choices sometime before draft day.That's the first I've seen anyone mention discussing possible scenarios where the team would "try to find a way to not trade" the team's top corner, so that's certainly an interesting note but should he be traded, Peter doesn't seem to specify which draft the picks will reside in ... which seems to be the real issue.

The difference is taking the time to plan your course and take it one step at a time... don't call it a dream call it a plan
No truer words have been spoken. You make your happiness, so don't wait for it in someone/something else. GO BE HAPPY.
The more you do what makes you happy, the happier you become and your whole life changes...from the inside out not the other way around...Change begins within...
Unfortunately, we learn, a little late down the path, that most things that we worry about and give our utmost intentions to don't really give us comfort . Stopping and putting things in perspective of fond memories and happiness doesn't happen often enough.
THIS IS MY LIFE MOTTO! Omgosh, I thought I was the only one! Oooh, I'm so happy other people like this exist!
