"Super Bowl or 'Downton'?" I asked my neighbor as she walked her dog last night. "We switched back and forth," she replied. Me? The game was so lopsided by the time "Downton Abbey" came on, I abandoned the 21st century for the Roaring '20s for the entire hour and, apparently, I did not miss much.
Those of you who are more technologically proficient are asking, "What about TiVo?" I confess, I do not have one, never have, am not sure if TiVo is a gadget or a service, and whenever someone says the word TiVo, my first thought is that they have a slight speech impediment and are commenting upon the once famous, now sidelined, Jesus-thanking quarterback Tim Tebow. But I digress.
The national obsession over the Super Bowl makes little sense to me. While last night's game was one of the least interesting Super Bowls in memory, everyone knows that the best football game of this season was Alabama vs. Auburn, and we knew it was going to be the best game of the year before it happened. The stunning way that game ended -- a missed field goal attempt, caught and run back for a touchdown -- was icing on the cake. College football is not only a far more interesting game, but it affects people differently from the way a pro football team does. Yes, Seattle's players and coaches couldn't stop talking about their "12th man" last night, but college loyalties run deeper than pro loyalties, not least because the players stick with one team in college. Pro teams, not just football, have lost much of their ability to generate civic pride since the advent of free agency and the athletes' subsequent habit of jumping to the highest bidder.
This loss of civic pride quotient was compounded in those cities where the owners of the franchise picked up and moved the whole team to another city. I remember when the Colts left Baltimore and moved to Indianapolis, which seemed like yet another nail in the coffin of a once great American city. In the sequel, Baltimore got the last laugh and is, in fact, a thriving city. The willingness of owners to uproot an entire franchise has also resulted in weirdness, such as the fact that the NBA team is Utah sports the unlikely name "the Jazz."
Sports has long fascinated humankind, and we all need our diversions. Still, I do not understand how and why the Super Bowl becomes such a big event. Yesterday, at the vet, while Bernie the black lab was getting X-rays and tests, the animal hospital's TV was tuned, appropriately enough, to Animal Planet. The Puppy Bowl was playing. At Masses around the country, priests mentioned the Super Bowl in their homilies. Cardinal Timothy Dolan deftly got in on the action, speaking about Vince Lombardi's deep commitment to his faith and his hometown. Bravo to the cardinal: That was great!
Of course, with every human enterprise, the sin accompanies the grace. And, so, the Super Bowl has become a prime venue for sex trafficking. Millions of dollars are wagered and lost on the game's outcome. And the commercialization of the event leaves less and less time for the actual game: How many times did we see news clips about the Budweiser ad, which, admittedly, was a well done ad but was, still, just an ad!
The obsession with "Downton Abbey" is of a different sort. Americans, perhaps because we are always chattering on about progress, and equality, and the American Dream, seem to have a special nostalgia for times and cultures of severe social stratification. Think "Gone with the Wind." And when the nostalgia comes with an English accent, we go bonkers. Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson, the 5'11" quarterback who made it despite his diminutive size, likes to say things like, "You can be whatever you want to be," which is a lie, and Mr. Wilson, a devout Christian, should know better than to tell a lie. But his lie is part of the mythos of America. Perhaps we all feel the need for some engagement with servants and liveries and "the gong" as an antidote.
I missed the first two seasons of "Downton." Not sure why. I got caught up and have become a fan. The most obvious reason is the simplest: Maggie Smith. But "Downton" is also not like watching regular TV. For starters, it is run commercial-free because it is on public television: God bless PBS! More importantly, the script and the characters are believable, although the first episodes of this fourth season struggled a bit. It is funny, but there is no laugh track. Nothing is over-the-top. You can empathize with these people, both upstairs and downstairs, not because you know what it feels like to a the lord of the manor or because you have experience as a lady's maid, but because the plot and the acting are of such good quality, you know how they will react to the situations that come their way. Or am I the only one who really, really wants Mrs. Hughes to be my neighbor?
These cultural obsessions come and go. When I was in college, Granada Television produced "Brideshead Revisited" -- those Brits again! -- and it became the rage. In our dorm, for the final episode, we all dressed up in period attire and watched it together. I, alone among my heathen friends, undergrads at Catholic University all, was thrilled when God won at the end! I am told that when shows like "American Idol" and "Survivor" first began, they had a similar cultural saturation, although I am happy to report that I missed them both. And in sports, I think baseball was bigger in the '60s and '70s when I was growing up, and football not so big, but my impression may be the result of having grown up in Red Sox nation.
I feel like an alien in the culture at times when I think that as many people, or more, watch the Super Bowl as vote in a presidential election. People sit down for a drink on Mondays and talk about how they can't believe what happened to Anna or Carson, but then speak nastily to their waiter. And in this sports-obsessed society, obesity remains a pressing health issue. All cultures are messy and some sense of structure and sanity is placed upon them after the fact, by historians, who must abstract the cultures they study to make them fit for rational organization. Still, our messy, obsessive culture is the culture we are called to evangelize. It is a challenge. It is also the only thing that matters ultimately. Just ask Russell Wilson.

Local legal eagle Judge Josiah Wood dead at 73
Judge Josiah Wood, Cowichan's beloved legal eagle, judicial visionary, and cinnamon-roll lover, died Monday.
He was 73.
While the Queen's Counsel lawyer was perhaps best known for his career on Duncan's busy bench, the family man was also renowned for his interest in law-abiding Cowichanians.
"I used to see Josiah at the Duncan Garage café all the time," said valley arts-impresario Longevity John Falkner.
"Josiah invited me for supper, and I had a good time. We used to walk our dogs, and we'd meet at Garage café and solve the world's problems every Saturday morning.
"He used to let me hold counsel with him."
Falkner was floored by Wood's caring nature.
"Josiah was the most generous, compassionate person I've ever met. He gave me hope for our judicial system.
"He put so much thought into everything he did."
Including talking cinnamon rolls back to courthouse staffers, claimed Longevity John.
"Josiah did things to make the court system more humane. He befriended me; he wasn't given to value judgements on people, he looked deeper than the visual."
Optics of Wood's legal career show a guy committed to finding justice.
Wood was appointed to the bench of the Provincial Court in Duncan in September 2007.
He'd practised with Blake, Cassels & Graydon in Vancouver since 1996. Before that, he served as a judge of the B.C. Supreme Court (1983-1989), and the B.C. Court of Appeal (1989-1996).
Wood began his career in 1968 with Dowding, Deverell, Harrop & Wood, where he practised for 15 years.
He was also a bencher of the Law Society of British Columbia from 1978 to 1983.
Among Wood's legacies is helping the organizing committee and faculty of UBC's trial-advocacy course.
He was a faculty member of the Federation of Law Societies of Canada national criminal-law program for 28 years.
That hefty resume sure impressed veteran Duncan lawyer Mike Coleman.
"I knew Josiah on campus at UBC law school. He was in the law library studying when I was in meetings playing politics," Duncan's former mayor said.
"He had an outstanding career as a lawyer, and a stellar judicial career; Josiah's one of the giants of the B.C. Bar." Coleman fondly noting Wood's bent for local bench work after Supreme Court duty.
"It's probably unique for someone to serve on all three levels of court in B.C., and in that order. He had an incredibly incisive intellect, and a deep understanding of the law, but also of justice — which is often a different thing."
Coleman also saluted Wood's "instrumental" role in developing the domestic-violence court, and Duncan's First Nations Court.
The latter "is essentially having local elders assist a judge in his position on sentencing of First Nations offenders."
"That has really helped integrate First Nations communities into the justice system, and assisting justice to be seen to be dealt with in that community."
Despite tense cases, "he had a very dry sense of humour," said Coleman, noting the native Quebecer was most happy with those who did their homework.
"If you didn't know your (legal) stuff, he was less satisfied with presentations that were not well grounded," Coleman said of the judge who tried the recent case RCMP Const. David Pompeo case.
"Josiah was very precise in his decisions, very knowledgeable, and very aware of the impact of law on the community.
"It's the fairness he was always conscious of," said Coleman.
But to Wood's long-time wife, Tina, the judicial giant was just Joe.
"Joe was a devoted family man and he worked very hard to provide a comfortable home for me and our two sons, Jim and Jeremy," she said of her husband, who died of cancer complications.
"He loved his Jack Russell terriers, and dachshunds, and they were always included on family holidays as Joe hated leaving them at home."
Spare time saw the grandfather of four at work on his other bench, doing carpentry.
"Everything he built was done carefully and with great skill," said Tina.
"When appointed to the provincial court in 2007 he was greatly amused after overhearing a remark made by two teenage sons of a fellow judge at the swearing in ceremony as they wondered 'what he had done wrong, as he used to sit on the Court of Appeal.'"
In Wood's memory, a trust fund will be established to train Native elders to serve in Duncan's First Nations Court.
There will not be a funeral at Wood's request, but there will be a special sitting of the court, tentatively set for June 24.

Write my term papers
Term paper writing is tough even though it is that kind of academic writing assignment which you will not get quite often. Normally, you are supposed to submit a term paper once during the semester. However, the key point here is to start working on the task beforehand as you most likely lack time and effort at the end of the term.
The only difficulty is that you are probably not able to start accomplishing this assignment beforehand. The thing is that you have lots of other tasks to complete and it usually takes a lot of time as the issues are not simple at all. The good news is you have a trustworthy paper writing assistant at your disposal which means that you will be able to get a quality term paper sample within the shortest period of time. In such a way, you will manage to make the accomplishment of this task much simpler.
Apart from that, there is no need to spend time searching for 'write my term papers' on the net due to the fact that one of our writers has it all under control. You do not necessarily have to deal with the task, especially if you do not quite feel like doing it at the moment. Let us take care of the accomplishment of that task. You need a break and we want to advise you to take one. Spend your leisure time hanging out with your friends or doing things you love. The example paper will be delivered to you within the specified deadline. Let our competent writers deal with your academic writing assignment. They know how to provide you with everything you need.

Cherry Creek Schools requires families to update their
household and student information each year including emergency contacts,
medical, and policy acceptance forms, along with school specific forms. These
forms will be made available online beginning July 1, 2017 and are part of the
annual check-in processes for the start of the 2017-2018 school year. Parents
who submitted information last year can save time by accessing the system to
review, update, and save information previously stored. Parents can always
return to the online forms to update information that may change during the
school year (i.e. phone numbers, emergency contacts, medical updates, etc.).
In July you will receive an email informing you that the
Parent Online Forms system is ready for 2017-2018 annual check-in. Some
important notes about accessing the system:
1) You can register and/or login to the system at
2) Parents who already registered to use the system in prior
years will use the same username and password. Parents can change/reset their
password at http://my.cherrycreekschools.org.
3) New parents to CCSD will need to create a username and
password to use the system by registering at the Internet address above. To
register, parents should have the following information available: Parent First
and Last Name, Birthdate and Student ID for at least one of their children, and
a Personal Email Address. Spelling for all personal information must match
District Admissions. Student ID Numbers are available on school report cards,
as well as original Admissions documents.
4) Students and families not yet admitted to Cherry Creek
Schools will not have access to the system.
Cherry Creek Schools requires each family to update their
student information. Be aware that updating student forms electronically is
only part of the check-in process. Each school has additional steps for each
student to complete. Check with your school for more information.
sure to double-check your children's school calendars for the 2017-18
school year. In March, the Board of Education approved new start times
to better align with adolescent sleep patterns. Elementary schools will
start at 8 a.m. and release at 2:45 p.m. High schools will start at
8:20 a.m. and release at 3:30 p.m., with the exception of Endeavor Academy, which starts at 8:40 a.m. and releases at 3:05 p.m. Middle schools will start at 8:50
a.m. and release at 3:45 p.m. As part of that process, the first day
of school was also adjusted and winter break falls differently than in
years past. Monday, July 10 – First day of school, Four-Track CalendarMonday, August 7 – First day of school, Transitional CalendarMonday, August 14 – First day of school, Traditional CalendarOct. 16-27 – Fall Break, Transitional CalendarOct. 23-27 – Fall Break, Traditional CalendarDec. 25 - Jan. 5 – Winter Break, Four-Track Calendar (C and D Tracks)Dec. 25 - Jan. 8 – Winter Break, A Track, Transitional, Traditional Calendars

I don't know if I'm being paranoid or if I don't "get" email marketing or if there is something else that I am doing wrong.
Earlier this week, I sent out a text-based email newsletter with a quick update. I checked with 2 subscribers who I know personally to see if they received it, and their response was that they never received it. A quick check into the spam folder, and it wasn't there either.
I know their email addresses are correct because I work with these 2 individuals on a regular basis, so their email addresses as entered are correct.
I've done a quick report on the last 5 newsletter campaigns, and I'm averaging:

Our mailing list is now 304 subscribers deep. I don't know if these stats are "good". I read http://www.campaignmonitor.com/blog/post/2395/all-about-email-open-rates/ and I'm wondering a few things:
- how to increase open and click through rates
- why some of my emails aren't hitting the inbox (or not being delivered at all)
- how I can optimize my emails for better performance.
Would love to hear some of your thoughts, tips or tricks you've used. I'm learning, but I think I still have a ways to go yet.
An update:
I ran into one of our mailing list subscribers last night, and he mentioned that he hasn't been receiving any newsletters for the past few months.
I've graduated from paranoid to suspicious. Is there something, ANYTHING, that I can do at this point? Am I spamming people? Am I being blacklisted? I can't think of anything I'm going wrong.
I've looked at previous campaigns, and there are quite a few links in each newsletter we send - is this the cause? Are emails not being delivered because of the number of links?
Really understand you!
I tested my last newsletter but didn't run through our spam-filter. Our administrator was able to send me the report which was generated by our blocking-system so i could figure out what was wrong with my letter.
For my letter i found 2 things:
'klick here' was filtered - i used this for the webversion-link.
an the link 'read more' was twice in the letter an showed on the same page.
There was also mentioned that the server cmail2 was reported on a greylist or something like that. But i didn't really understood what the point is.
After the change of the 2 points above the letter run through. I did also the testing in Campagin Monitor an got a good result. So I look forward to the next letter an hope that it will pass most of filtering systems.
Hope you have access to a testing system for your letter too!

Chocolate Fluff Icing
READY IN: 20mins
Recipe by Kittencalrecipezazz
A wonderful light, airy, and easy to make chocolate icing.

Very rich and very yummy. This recipe does not make very much, though. If there are more than 2 layers to a cake, the recipe should be doubled.

- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted

We present what we believe to be the first implementation of a Fabry–Perot (FP) etalon using polymer cholesteric liquid-crystal mirrors. These polymer mirrors have each been fabricated onto a single substrate, which allows the FP cavity spacing to be only a few micrometers wide. For the experimental results presented, cavity lengths of 13.8 and yield near-infrared free spectral ranges of 24.8 and 45.6 nm, respectively. The measured finesse of 14.31 is approaching the limitation imposed by the reflectivity of the mirrors.

First Impressions Matter–They Last
by Georgia Adamson - Dec, 2015
In job interviews and on the job, first impressions matter because they last. In fact, they often take effect in an instant but can be difficult to change, if not impossible (depending on how strong they were to begin with). I'm not talking about something like "is my tie straight?" (if you wear one). I'm referring to more subtle examples, such as the way you greet someone (the interviewer, maybe a new boss or colleague). D...
Job Search of the Future: Your Resume
by Robin Schlinger - Dec, 2015
Slowly, resumes are changing to reflect changes in the ways people search for jobs. Change: Job applicants are more tied into technology.

They found that "most professionals use two to three work and personal devices in their daily lives" and "most respondents believe their most important device in 2020 will be a smartphone." Re...
Master Time–Don't Let It Master You
by Georgia Adamson - Dec, 2015
Whether on the job or in your personal life, you more than likely run up against the "tyranny of the clock" at some point. Time management experts tell us we need to focus on the most critical factors to get the most out of each day and accomplish the most we possibly can. You might feel on occasion–such as around the year-end holidays–that no matter how good you are at time management, you'll never dig yourself out of the pit...
Reference Checking & Your Job Search
by Georgia Adamson - Dec, 2015
You might be concerned about your references for a variety of reasons–uncertainty about what former employers will say, how they'll say it, whether anyone might respond to inquiries with a negative reference, and so on. Especially if you left your last position under less than ideal circumstances–either voluntarily or involuntarily for reasons you weren't happy about, you might have genuine reasons for concern. References–W...
Technical Resumes: Establishing a Common Language
by Robin Schlinger - Dec, 2015
When you submit your resume for a position in a highly technical field, you are never sure who is going to read it or make the final decision to bring you in for an interview. You are never sure who has selected the keywords for the job posting and the automated Applicant Tracking System (ATS). And you are can never sure how much experience the company as a whole has with your specialty. As a chemical engineer with a degree...
Your Year-End…Professionally Speaking
by Georgia Adamson - Dec, 2015
Before you break out the party hats and festive beverages for that year-end office celebration, you might want to give some thought to where this year has taken you professionally and what you want next year to look like. While your "wants" won't necessarily predetermine how the new year plays out, failure to take them into consideration when making your career management plans could leave you with having next year look pretty...
10 Nuggets of Wisdom to Inspire Your 2016 Job Search Strategy
by Michelle Dumas - Dec, 2015
It's been said the most stressful endeavors in life are getting a divorce, buying a house, and having a baby. Anyone currently in the job market would add "looking for a job" to that list, and would probably put it at the top. The job search requires you to get confident and put yourself out there only to be rejected and have your confidence destroyed. In some ways it's worse than high school dating. But it doesn't have to...
How to Successfully Launch A New Product
by Alexandra Levit - Dec, 2015
Once upon a time, businesses announced a new product or service with great fanfare, including activities like press releases and events scheduled over a day or two. Now, though, the launch process can be longer and significantly more complex—requiring businesses to plan a host of activities that will gain momentum for the offering. Many modern product launches may fail simply because it can be so difficult to get something...

Ricky Martin – who welcomed twin boys Matteo and Valentino via surrogate in 2008 – can't wait to add more babies to his brood!
"Fatherhood incredible!" says the 39-year-old singer. "Every day is something different."
Matteo and Valentino, they're constantly ganging up on me but I can take it! They're amazing – I want more. This is only the beginning of our family.
How big of a family is he hoping for? When asked about numbers, the single father responded: "I don't know. Maybe one, two more, but yeah, definitely."
"I need a daddy's girl," he added.
He went onto chat about how different his life is now that there are two tiny tots to chase around. "Life changes!" he tells Miami's Y100 radio station. "You have to sleep because you are not going to sleep every again. Babies wake up every two hours. At 7 o'clock you are awake. For me, I was a night owl in the past, but now, I'm up, I'm working, I'm already dealing with the kids."

My twins graduated from 8th grade last week. Like most mothers, I'm shocked my babies are suddenly grown up and ready to enter high school.
I've given out so much advice to my sons over the years, that anything more I'd add to their Daily Mom Advice quota is going to be a waste. But I've discovered that hearing the same thing from a different source often makes it sink in.
So today, I'm sharing some fun and meaningful commencement speeches that I think all of us, no matter what age we are, can appreciate. They're a bit long, so I'm condensing some of the important advice after the video. And at the end, I have a list of some popular books to give graduates!
First up is the hilarious Ellen DeGeneres (and the reason behind my blog title):
When I was younger I thought success was something different. I thought success was to be famous, become a star, drive nice cars….My idea of success is different today. Definition of success changes. Success is to live your life with integrity and to not give in to peer pressure to try to be something that you're not. Success is to be honest and to contribute in some way… Follow your passion, stay true to yourself, never follow someone else's path unless you're in the woods and you're lost and you see a path then by all means you should follow that…
Life is like a one big Mardi Gras but instead of showing your boobs, show people your brain, and if they like what they see you'll have more beads than you'll know what do with.

Second is the talented and also quite funny, JK Rowling:
Ultimately, we all have to decide for ourselves what constitutes failure, but the world is quite eager to give you a set of criteria if you let it. So I think it fair to say that by any conventional measure, a mere seven years after my graduation day, I had failed on an epic scale. An exceptionally short-lived marriage had imploded, and I was jobless, a lone parent, and as poor as it is possible to be in modern Britain, without being homeless. The fears my parents had had for me, and that I had had for myself, had both come to pass, and by every usual standard, I was the biggest failure I knew.
Now, I am not going to stand here and tell you that failure is fun. That period of my life was a dark one, and I had no idea that there was going to be what the press has since represented as a kind of fairy tale resolution. I had no idea how far the tunnel extended, and for a long time, any light at the end of it was a hope rather than a reality.
So why do I talk about the benefits of failure? Simply because failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me. Had I really succeeded at anything else, I might never have found the determination to succeed in the one arena I believed I truly belonged. I was set free, because my greatest fear had already been realized, and I was still alive, and I still had a daughter whom I adored, and I had an old typewriter and a big idea. And so rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.
Failure gave me an inner security that I had never attained by passing examinations. Failure taught me things about myself that I could have learned no other way. I discovered that I had a strong will, and more discipline than I had suspected; I also found out that I had friends whose value was truly above rubies.
The knowledge that you have emerged wiser and stronger from setbacks means that you are, ever after, secure in your ability to survive. You will never truly know yourself, or the strength of your relationships, until both have been tested by adversity. Such knowledge is a true gift, for all that it is painfully won, and it has been worth more to me than any qualification I ever earned.
Harvard University

And lastly, the awesome Oprah Winfrey:
The lesson here is clear, and that is, if you're hurting, you need to help somebody ease their hurt. If you're in pain, help somebody else's pain. And when you're in a mess, you get yourself out of the mess helping somebody out of theirs. And in the process, you get to become a member of what I call the greatest fellowship of all, the sorority of compassion and the fraternity of service.
But when you do good, I hope you strive for more than just the good feeling that service provides, because I know this for sure, that doing good actually makes you better. So, whatever field you choose, if you operate from the paradigm of service, I know your life will have more value and you will be happy.

Westgarth returns home for the first time with Canes
Posted January 14, 2013
Raleigh, N.C. — Kevin Westgarth spent much of the NHL lockout working out with Carolina Hurricanes players so when the team went out looking for a big, physical forward, the former Los Angeles King was a logical fit.
Even before the trade, Westgarth made his home in Raleigh and is married to the daughter of one of the cities more well-known residents – Bill Cowher.
"Living down here, it's great to not be coming in blind," Westgarth said. "There's a lot of organizations that I don't know anyone so it was great to kind of have a base."
Medlin: Canes provide homecoming for new forward Westgarth
Westgarth was one of the players heavily involved with the NHL Players Association during the 113-day lockout which made him a key source of information for what now are his new teammates. He said that the combination of working with the union and many Canes players, he started, "to feel like part of the team this summer."
"We're excited to have him here," teammate Chad LaRose said. "He skated with us this summer and he's a good guy. He did a lot of stuff for our organization as well as for the players association throughout the lockout. He's a nice guys that dedicates his time and is a good team guy."
Westgarth was just one of a handful of deals the Canes have made in the first two days of the season. On Monday, the Canes recalled forwards Zac Dalpe, Riley Nash and Brett Sutter from the Charlotte Checkers so they could participate in the team's inter-squad scrimmage Tuesday. On Sunday, Carolina also acquired Luke Pither from the Philadelphia Flyers and signed goaltender Dan Ellis to a one-year deal.
Mike Maniscalco's Camp Notes: Day 2
• The first session Monday had the Canes working on installing the forecheck. The 45- minute session featured the team working on the rush and keeping the puck in the neutral zone.
• Kevin Westgarth made his Canes debut skating with Drayson Bowman and Jeremy Welsh.
• Cam Ward participated in both practice sessions. More Hurricanes Stories
• Lots of work focused on the power play during the second session. The top line featured Eric Staal centering for Alex Semin and Jeff Skinner with Justin Faulk and Joni Pitkanen on the points.
• The 2nd Power Play unit had Jordan Staal centering Chad LaRose and Jussi Jokinen. Jamie McBain and Joe Corvo were the defensive pairing.
• Forward Tim Wallace took a Corvo blast off his leg that sent him to the ice. Wallace made his way to the bench on his own power and finished practice.
• The Canes will have a Red and White scrimmage at noon Tuesday at Raleigh Center Ice. The teams will be decided at the rink, and according to head coach Kirk Muller, the stakes will be determined between the players. Forwards Zac Dalpe, Riley Nash and Brett Sutter were called up from Charlotte for the scrimmage.
• Muller also hinted that because of the 48-game schedule, the team will look to rest players on off days but there will still be practice days that could see the coaching staff put on the gear. So it is possible that Muller, Rod Brind'Amour, John MacLean, Glen Wesley, Cory Stillman and Hall of Famer Ron Francis return to the ice.
• Zach Boychuk feels that playing in Charlotte gives him a leg up on trying to make the team. "It's huge, just makes it that much easier out there," he said. "We are already in game shape and practice shape and you don't have to worry about getting your legs under you and getting your hands back. All of us that came up from Charlotte we feel like we have a little bit of an edge and this is kind of our year to say hey, 'I want to make this team.'"
• Muller on what the Charlotte guys can do: "I think we are going to look at those guys obviously very seriously this week, they did what they had to do. we said 'go and perform and make it tough for us.' Push the veterans and push guys in different positions and so they are going to make us make some tough calls this week."

I am a writer. I have written software manuals, insurance presentations, tests, letters, resumes, memos, poems, stories, novels, articles, interviews, and more. I have edited and proofread countless textbooks, journals, and other things. At no point in my life have I ever made more than $30,000 a year. The competition to get published is akin to jumping into a pool infested with sharks. Once you're published, reviewers and critics can punch a hole in your work and watch you sink to the bottom, all the while congratulating themselves on how cleverly they did so. At the end of the day, any non-writer you tell about your job thinks he or she can do it better with no arts education and a complete disinterest in reading. Everyone I tell about my poetry is also a poet; even that woman down the street who "jots a bit in her journal now and again" has been published by Poetry.com.
There are only two reasons writers keep writing. One is because we love creating something with words. The other is the hope that someday we will be in that top .05% of writers that makes the bestseller list (think J.K. Rowling or Dan Brown) and rakes in a ton of cash. Most of us will die before that happens.
This is why we like booze (and chocolate) so much.
(edited to add: I stopped working full-time when I had my two kids, just fyi)
(edited again to add: I should probably mention how cool it is to play with words. Seriously. Writing a perfect poem is one of the most sublime experiences I've ever had. So, while all that up there is still true, I should have explained more about the "we love creating something with words" part. Just sayin'.)

Why writers like booze (and chocolate)

It's a very tough gig, no doubt about it. The number of rejections over a lifetime alone would make a normal person turn to something for solace. I believe we have to have some kind of inordinate confidence in what we are doing to keep doing it. And, to become good writers, we have to keep doing it.
- Christine Klocek-Lim said...
Jeannine, eeks, sorry it took me so long to respond. I said to my husband just the other day: writer's have both an enormous ego and a total lack of self-esteem. At the same time. So, yeah, I agree with you.

I don't know where the original recipe for this cake came from, but I always associate this sheet cake with my grandma. Every time we visited her farm, she made one of these cakes. In fact, it's the only dessert I ever remember her making. So, I love this cake – partly out of nostalgia but mostly because it's moist, chocolate-y, and delicious.
What I don't love, though, is that I always feel twinges of guilt when I eat most of this cake by myself. I'm all for butter and sugar, but the original recipe for this cake and its icing calls for three sticks of butter.
For a while now, I've been playing around with substitutions for some of the butter. I tried fruit purees, but the taste and texture were just plain off. Then, the other day, I read something about substituting Greek yogurt for part of the butter in baked goods. Since I have two giant containers of Greek yogurt in my fridge, I figured I'd give it a shot.
It was perfect. There was no noticeable difference in the taste or the texture between the cake made with the Greek yogurt and the cake made with all butter. So now I gobble up this entire cake guilt-free (kidding – well, kind of kidding). However, if you want to try the all-butter version, just swap out the Greek yogurt for another stick of butter.

[Theme: dkret3] navigation menu jump down page instead of go to new page
Hi all
I hope this has not been asked before or that, if it is a dumb question, someone will pity me 🙂
I am an intern trying to build a new website for a very small company: http://www.vitheralabs.com/about (click around but DO NOT CLICK "HOME" or you will leave the wordpress and be brought to the old website)
I have installed wordpress and the dkret3 theme. dkret3 uses the superfish (already compiled into the .css). I have successfully implemented two drop-down menus under Services (www.vitheralabs.com/services) and Consulting (www.vitheralabs.com/consulting). These drop-down menus go to different pages.
What I hope to do is, under the Team navigation tab, have a drop-down menu that jumps down the Team (www.vitheralabs.com/team) page. I don't understand jQuery. Can anyone help?
Here is the code from the .css (as you likely already know)
[CSS moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please just post a link to your site.]

Professor and Nicole A. Boand Endowed Chair in Chemistry
Director, Center for Enabling New Technologies through Catalysis
Ph.D. University of California at Berkeley, 1988
(Organometallic and Inorganic Chemistry)

Center for Enabling New Technologies through Catalysis website
One of the most important applications of organometallic chemistry has been the use of organotransition metal catalysts in the commercial production of chemicals, pharmaceuticals and organic materials. The reaction steps in the catalytic cycles are typically general, or so called fundamental reactions in organometallic chemistry, such as oxidative addition, reductive elimination, migratory insertion and beta-hydride elimination. Understanding the mechanisms of these basic reaction steps is key to the improvement of current catalysts and to the design of new catalytic systems. The Goldberg group focuses on developing detailed mechanistic understanding of these fundamental reactions with the goal of creating catalysts for desirable and challenging transformations.
As an example, in one particular project in the group, the reaction steps that could be involved in the selective oxidation of alkanes to alcohols are being studied. Shown below is an idealized catalytic cycle for converting methane to methanol – oxidative addition of the C-H bond forms a metal alkyl hydride, insertion of oxygen into the metal hydride bond forms a metal alkyl hydroxide species, and finally C-O reductive elimination forms the alcohol product and regenerates the catalyst. Understanding how each step proceeds, what type of MLn fragment (geometry and ligand set) is needed, and what type of solvent system will promote that reaction step provides insight and direction to efforts to rationally design catalysts that will carry out such transformations. Some other transformations for which we are trying to develop catalysts are anti-Markovnikov hydration and hydroamination of olefins, oxidation of olefins with molecular oxygen and the release of hydrogen from amine boranes and other viable hydrogen storage materials.
Ph.D. students working on projects in the Goldberg group are trained in synthesis, characterization, and mechanistic analysis using a variety of experimental, spectroscopic and analytical methods. These include the manipulation of air-sensitive compounds by Schlenk and vacuum line techniques, high field multinuclear NMR, IR, and UV-visible spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and X-ray crystallography.
Karen Goldberg received her A.B. degree from Barnard College of Columbia University in New York City. As an undergraduate, she pursued research projects with Professor Roald Hoffmann at Cornell University, Professor Stephen Lippard at Columbia University, and Drs. Tom Graedel and Steven Bertz at AT&T Laboratories. She then went on to the University of California at Berkeley where she earned her Ph.D. in Chemistry working with Professor Robert Bergman. Following a postdoctoral year with Professor Bruce Bursten at The Ohio State University, she joined the faculty at Illinois State University, a primarily undergraduate institution in Normal, IL, in 1989. In 1995, she moved to the University of Washington as Assistant Professor of Chemistry. She was awarded tenure and promoted to Associate Professor in 2000, and in 2003 she was promoted to Professor. In 2007 she became the first Raymon E. and Rosellen M. Lawton Distinguished Scholar in Chemistry, and in 2010 she became the first Nicole A. Boand Endowed Professor of Chemistry. She currently serves as Director of the first National Science Foundation-funded Phase II Center for Chemical Innovation (CCI), the Center for Enabling New Technologies through Catalysis (CENTC), a collaborative effort between 17 principal investigators and their students at 13 institutions across North America. She is also on the Advisory Boards of the ACS journals Accounts of Chemical Research and Organometallics.

2 Ambridge students charged following attack posted online
A Beaver County junior high school student attacked a fellow teen and a classmate recorded it, leading to charges against both of them, police said.
One of the arrested students, a 14-year-old who attends Ambridge Junior High School, attacked a fellow student last week behind the high school, police said. The victim, also 14, was knocked to the ground and repeatedly kicked in the head while pleading for him to stop, authorities said.
Investigators said the second student, 12, recorded the attack, which was then posted on YouTube. The video showed other teens watching the fight. The video has since been removed from the site.
The victim is recovering at home. He told WPXI the fight started over his break-up with a former girlfriend.
The 14-year-old was charged as a juvenile with assault, while the 12-year-old who videotaped the fight has been charged as an accomplice.

Press Packer Lauren won the ultimate Newsround competition - she's spending a week with Huw Edwards and the Newsround team learning how to be a journalist.
Her online diary reveals what she's being doing during Press Pack week.
"Wow! I was SO excited about today because I'm in charge of the whole programme! It's definitely lived up to my expectations.
Firstly, I chose the top stories of the day - I picked the bird flu story and the James Bond story.
Then I went to the team meeting to tell everyone my decisions - I was so nervous, but it was ok!
I told the team my ideas and they gave me feedback.
They were all really friendly so I relaxed.
At 11.30am I had to go in News 24.
It was so scary but apparently I did just fine.
Choosing the programme order
I got back to the Newsround office and chose the order of the programme and what stories I wanted to use.
If you watch Friday's programme you'll see what I picked!
Tonight I'm going to the gallery, where they direct the programme.
I'll be watching from there and hopefully it will all go well.
Incredible week
I have had the most incredible week.
The best part has been meeting such lovely people and learning lots of things.
I really love it here.
I just want to say a quick 'Hi' to my class, 9J, before I sign off for the last time. I'll see you next week!
Bye Newsround!
Thank you!"
"Today I went to the Science Museum to see the launch of an exhibition about aliens.
I had to review it for the programme.
It was fantastic!
The best bit was seeing all of the different aliens and monsters.
We did lots of filming for tonight's report.
I also interviewed one of the people who helped put the exhibition together.
I asked him why they did the exhibition, because lots of people don't believe in aliens.
Best bit
The best bit of the day was when I was being filmed in front of a big screen which had a 'virtual planet' on it.
It kept going wrong, we had to do the take again so many times, I lost count how many times! But It was really funny.
From what I can remember it is a very funny report!
A different day
Today has been quite a different day to my other days at Newsround.
I did a lot more filming and we had to think about different shots.
I had to rush around filming different pieces for the camera and pretending to 'disappear', which was fun.
Huw gave me some good tips about reviewing to help me with my report as well.
Taking over the show
I'm very excited, but also quite nervous, about tomorrow.
I'm going to be in charge of the whole show!
Watch this space - I'll let you know how it goes!"
"I'm absolutely exhausted! I've had an extremely busy day!
All week I've been learning lots of tips from Huw and today he taught me about writing stories for the web.
He told me that you need to have a good opening line to really grab the reader's attention.
But you have to keep their attention all the way through too!
He said that if you do this, you'll do well!
Interviewing the stars
I also interviewed the child stars of the new film 'The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe' today. They were all lovely.
The highlight was definitely interviewing Emma Thompson - she made me feel so relaxed.
I then had to rush back and write up my report for the website.
While I was writing my report I also had to do some more filming AND run over to the CBBC studio (in the rain - which totally messed up my hair!)
During the live CBBC chat the presenters asked me some questions about what I've been doing at Newsround this week.
Once it had finished, I rushed back to the Newsround office to finish my report and write my diary.
Today has been hectic, but tomorrow will be even busier.
I'll let you know how it goes!"
"I didn't come in so early today - I was absolutely shattered after yesterday!
Going on live TV was one of the most terrifying things I've ever done, but I managed it.
I actually really enjoyed it!
First of all today, I went to the edit suites to do some filming with Rob, the cameraman, and Janina, who's an assistant producer.
They were both BRILLIANT!
I loved filming - it was so much fun.
Tonight's interview
I also did the voiceover for the Jenny Frost interview which was on Newsround tonight and I watched the interview get edited together for the programme.
In the interview I ask Jenny what her new song 'Crash Landing' is all about and how she felt about going solo.
Later in the afternoon I went to work with the graphics team.
I had to pretend I was driving a car and stepping out of a tardis!
It was extremely embarrassing but a very enjoyable experience!"
"It's my first day! I was really nervous at first, but everyone has been really nice and encouraging and I've relaxed now.
Meeting Huw Edwards was incredibly nerve-racking, but he's very friendly.
He gave me lots of top tips about interviewing, which I tried to use when I interviewed Jenny Frost (who used to be in Atomic Kitten).
I was really nervous before the interview.
I was given some pages of information about her and I came up with all the questions.
It went well and she was really friendly which helped.
I'm really excited about going on live television tonight.
The studio is a lot smaller than I thought it would be.
I've rehearsed what I am doing for tonight's live show, and hopefully it will all go well.
I'll let you know tomorrow!"
Lauren, 13, Wolverhampton
Why don't you write us a Press Pack report - and get it published on the site?!
It can be about anything that's happened in your local area - or your views on the news.

A Douglas County jury has, for a second time, found Christopher Belone, 41, guilty of second-degree murder in the July 2006 beating death of Linda Begay, of Lawrence.
The verdict brings to an end the retrial that began Jan. 9 in Douglas County District Court after the Kansas Supreme Court ordered a new trial in September. The court ruled that, based on new case law, a district court judge in the original murder trial erred in allowing into evidence statements Begay made to police just before she died. Belone had been sentenced to 48 years in prison.
In closing statements Thursday, prosecutors emphasized that Belone intentionally inflicted life-threatening injuries on Begay by beating her with a broken coffee table leg before attempting to take her away from the area in his truck.
Belone's defense attorney, Gregory Robinson, said crucial evidence in the case had been lost when police failed to recover Begay's clothing, and any physical evidence it carried, from the hospital after she was admitted there with serious injuries. He sought to raise doubts among the jury by suggesting that Begay's injuries might have been caused by a bicycle accident that had been discussed in the case, and argued that police should have investigated one of the witnesses in the trial as a suspect.
Belone was found guilty of different charges in this retrial. In 2006, he was convicted of intentional second-degree murder, kidnapping, obstruction, and violation of a protective order. Friday, he was found guilty of unintentional second-degree murder and of violation of a protective order. He was found not guilty of obstructing the official duties of a police officer.
Belone is scheduled to appear for sentencing Feb. 26.

2007 BMW Z4 Values
A carry-over for 2006, the Z4 is a two-door, two-seat convertible or coupe sports car that's offered as the 3.0, which features a 215 horsepower I6. The 3.0Si has an increased output of 255HP. A six-speed manual transmission is standard with a six-speed automatic as optional. The M trim is powered by a 330 hp 3.2L inline six-cylinder engine.Read more Read less
Many changes accompanied the 2006 BMW Z4, including the addition of the coupe body style and the debut of the M variants, so the 2007 model remains fairly static.
Satisfying driving dynamics; delightful open air motoring or fixed coupe comfort; boat loads of style; M power.
Powered by BMW's terrific family of six-cylinder engines, sporting striking body lines, and riding on a confident chassis that can be thrown through the corners, the 2007 Z4 is a driving delight for two. It is available as either a convertible or closed coupe, and can be ordered with an "M" badge (and all the accompanying fun), so there are plenty of choices for prospective buyers.

A student-led group that has been occupying the Florida governor's office to protest the state's stand your ground law and the George Zimmerman verdict decided to give up the fight Thursday and is leaving the state Capitol.
The Dream Defenders began their occupation of the office of Florida Gov. Rick Scott in mid-July, just days after Zimmerman was acquitted of second-degree murder in the death of Trayvon Martin. They demanded that Scott call a special legislative session to overturn the state's stand your ground law.
Scott met with them a few days later to hear their demands but told them he would not call the special session.
"We feel we've done all we could, said Erika Maye, a spokeswoman for the group. "We asked for the special session. We're not getting it and now we're going to the individual districts to lobby lawmakers and to register voters. We're going to take it to the streets," she said. (CNN)

Mumbai: India's stock market regulator has increased the capital requirement for brokers in an effort to mitigate risks arising out of algorithmic trading and insulate the markets from erroneous or manipulative trading activities.
The so-called base minimum capital (BMC) is a deposit made by a member of the exchange against risks other than market risk and includes operational risk and potential client claims. A broker cannot take any exposure for trades against his BMC deposit.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has increased the range of the deposit to between Rs.10 lakh and Rs.50 lakh from Rs.10 lakh for brokers on bourses with nationwide trading terminals such as BSE, NSE, and the Calcutta Stock Exchange.
For members of other stock exchanges, the requirement would be 40% of the deposit on national level exchanges, said a Sebi circular.
Currently, according to Sebi, members of the Ahmedabad Stock Exchange and the Delhi Stock Exchange need to deposit Rs.7,000 and other exchanges Rs.4,000.
The order follows a 900-point flash crash of NSE's 50-stock benchmark index, the Nifty, on 5 October due to erroneous orders worth Rs.650 crore placed by a broker on behalf of one of its clients.
The new rules will require brokers and trading members to deposit Rs.10 lakh if they opt for only proprietary trading without the algorithmic option, Rs.15 lakh for trading only on behalf of clients (without proprietary and algorithmic options), Rs.25 lakh for proprietary trading and trading on behalf of clients (without algorithmic trading) and Rs.50 lakh for trading with the algorithmic option.
The exchanges can prescribe higher deposits if they perceive greater risks for any broker. A minimum 50% of the deposit has to be in the form of cash and cash equivalents, Sebi said.
Algorithmic trading is automated high-frequency trading that's capable of executing large orders rapidly.
"Over the years, the market structure has undergone significant structural changes. The various technological changes and the increased speeds of trading have brought to fore the greater quantum of risks arising during the course of execution of transactions. In light of this...it has been decided to realign the BMC requirements," said Sebi.
Sebi's latest diktat follows its move last Thursday to impose pre-trade order limits on the exchanges and enhance risk-management controls for the bourses.
The regulator has directed the exchanges to reject orders above Rs.10 crore for trade execution on equity, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and derivatives.
Sebi has also tightened the initial price threshold for stocks under dynamic price bands. The capital market regulator ordered the exchanges to reset the dynamic price bands from 20% to 10% of the previous closing price for stocks on which derivatives are traded, stocks on indices on which derivatives are available, index futures and stock futures.
The exchanges will also have to put stock brokers on the so-called "risk-reduction mode" when 90% of their collateral available for adjustment against the margins kept with the clearing corporations is utilized.

Tropical Depression 2 formed Monday just off the coast of Belize then moved inland overnight. The satellite image shows considerably less thunderstorm activity with TD 2 Tuesday morning when compared to Monday.
This is not unusual, as most tropical systems become disrupted and weaken when moving over land. For Tuesday, the main concern will be locally heavy rainfall across the Yucatan and northern portions of Central America. This could lead to some flash flooding and mudslides particularly over hilly or mountainous terrain.
The future of TD 2 is rather uncertain. The TD is located in a weak but persistent east to west steering current which will bring at least part of the circulation over the warm waters of the Bay of Campeche sometime on Wednesday. After a short time over water, the system will once again make landfall moving west into the mountains of Mexico Friday and Saturday.
One possibility is the system could become so disrupted over land today and tonight that loses its surface definition and becomes what we weather people call an open wave. If that occurs it would lower the chances of TD 2 gaining strength again.
Another possibility is the TD maintains its surface feature as it emerges into the Bay of Campeche, where there would at least be a small chance it could further strengthen.
The official forecast from NHC has it continuing as a TD while hugging the coast of the southern Bay of Campeche before dying over Mexico. The proximity to land and current disorganization suggest little chance of significant strengthening.
TD 2 poses no impact on Texas weather.
