The Oklahoman delivered probably the best lede of the offseason Sunday, on the preseason magazines' infatuation with Oklahoma State:
STILLWATER — If the college football media were a 12-year-old boy, Oklahoma State would be the girl he met at camp.
That's a nice analogy for summer puppy love, though I think of the Cowboys more as the new girl in school everyone falls for immediately, ignoring some fairly obvious baggage until it's too late. I picked out OSU in February as one of two teams -- along with Ole Miss, whose media bubble has been a fat, frequent target here -- destined to emerge as the hot new thing, and here we are: The Cowboys are a top-10 outfit by most estimations, top-15 at worst, on the strength of last year's near-breakthrough and the four-headed offensive monster (quarterback Zac Robinson, running back Kendall Hunter, receiver Dez Bryant and tackle Russell Okung, the last two probably regarded as the best in the country at their respective positions; not to mention Perrish Cox, a first-team All-American at kick returner according to Athlon). For a program with one top-10 finish (No. 5 in the 1945 AP poll) and not even a top-15 finish since the Thurman Thomas/Barry Sanders-powered Pokes finished 11th in 1987 and 1988, this is probably the most hyped team in school history.
Along those lines, the Oklahoman posed its central question -- "How will they handle it?" -- and attempts to apply the brakes to the runaway hype train (emphasis added):
The Pokes dealt with some national hype last season, but nothing like this. It didn't arrive until early October, when OSU won at Missouri. From there, OSU jumped into the top 10 and drew the attention that comes with such a ranking.
But the hype never lasted more than a week at a time leading up to a big game, and faded after the blowout loss at Texas Tech.
One of the reasons the hype consistently faded is that the Cowboys didn't win any of those games: After vaulting into the national consciousness with its upset at Missouri -- which had lost almost all its luster by the end of the season as the Tigers struggled to finish 1-3 against winning teams the rest of the way, the one win coming in overtime against Northwestern -- Oklahoma State had four big games, against Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oregon, and lost them all, the last three by double digits. At least Ole Miss is backing up its unprecedented hype with a couple skins on the wall, over Florida and Texas Tech; counting Mizzou, which was No. 19 in last year's final AP poll, Mike Gundy's teams are still 1-11 against opponents that finished in the top-20 since 2005, and 0-8 against Oklahoma and Texas.
They get three teams this year expected to fit that description, Georgia, Texas and Oklahoma, with Missouri and Texas Tech coming to Stillwater as wildcards. Not even the most wildly optimistic projections are picking OSU over the Longhorns and Sooners within the South division. That leaves the opener against Georgia as the lynchpin of the season, just like it was the last time the Cowboys entered the season as a darkhorse, in 2007, and left Athens with a 35-14 spanking that dropped them permanently from the rankings. Minus first-round picks at quarterback and running back and its top receiver, this edition of the Bulldogs is ripe for the picking, and -- assuming they live up to expectations as roughly No. 15 nationally -- would be Gundy's biggest win yet as a head coach. OSU would be more or less validated (and almost certainly undefeated) through its Halloween date with Texas, also at home, which parallels the unprecedented heights achieved by last year's hot new thing in the Big 12 South, Texas Tech. If Robinson hits Bryant on a ridiculous sideline throw to beat the 'Horns at the last second, we're in the Twilight Zone. (Which is a bad omen for the finale in Norman. But you take the best season in school history however you can get it.)
But if the Cowboys fall on their face against Georgia out of the gate, at home, it's 2007 all over again: Not ready for prime time. At least they'll establish their identity for the season -- legitimate upstart or same old underdog -- right from the beginning.

My heart has been pretty heavy since the news hit about yet another massacre in the States. I have been quiet and reflective; not sure I was going to say much of anything publicly. After all, I did not know any of the victims and we all already know that it's a horrible tragedy.
However, I reconsidered that because there is no part of my life that isn't touched by this. I live in the bay area of California, where Harvey Milk served when he became the first openly gay politician before he himself was massacred. There has never been a single time in my life that I have not had at least one gay friend. At various points throughout the last couple of decades, I have worked at nightclubs – both gay and straight. My sometimes boss was (is) a flamboyant and wonderful gay man. Last year I took my six-year-old faery goddaughter to the Gay Pride parade in San Francisco right after gay marriage was legalized by the Supreme Court so she could witness a happy moment in history. A little over a month ago I attended a lesbian wedding. Last week I spent time talking to a friend about whether or not she wanted to explore a same-sex relationship. And last night my heart broke as I held up a candle, raised my voice in song and marched with thousands of others through the streets of San Francisco.

MASON Cornish says the key to securing a good job is persistence.
The 21-year-old, of Aberfoyle Park, got a job as an apprentice chef at Windy Point Restaurant in Belair after four months of job hunting.
"I always enjoyed cooking and it was only when I went overseas last year and went to European restaurants that I realised — I need to do this," Mr Cornish says.
TELL US BELOW: What was your first job?
"I got back from the trip and knew what I was doing wasn't interesting enough and didn't give me anywhere to aspire to ... and cheffing offered me a future."
MORE: Helping kickstart young careers across Adelaide
Mr Cornish had dined at Windy Point Restaurant several times and remembered the fine-quality "upscale European inspired cuisine" and decided it was where he wanted to be.
"There was no opening at the time but I wanted to work here so I kept asking and Justin Miles (executive chef and general manager) said 'if you are really serious here's my number, give me a call'," he says.
"After many calls and emails I got a trial shift and that was my foot in the door."
Mr Mason has taken on a four-year apprenticeship and is completing a Certificate III in Commercial Cookery at TAFE.
"I've been learning how to prep meats and vegetables, researching who is coming in and what needs to be done in the kitchen, ordering foods and looking forward a week to start planning," he says.
"My favourite meal to cook is stuffed quail because I've never known what that meant and now I can produce it with the techniques I've learnt."
Mr Mason says listening, learning, retaining information, persistence and enthusiasm are key points to remember when looking for a position and are what helped him achieve his dream job.
TELL US BELOW: What was your first job?
Jobs 2014 is the nation's biggest community-inspired jobs drive and aims to create jobs for 2014 young people in the next eight weeks.
News Corp Australia's community newspapers across Australia, including Messenger Community News, will join forces with recruitment agencies such as Maxima to drive jobs and encourage employers – big and small – to give a young person a chance to kick-start their career.

He came late last year and was hurt and still had about the year I would expect him to have. Big hits, some missed tackles and bad angles in pass coverage. Still a good year for him though.
Side Note: Ed Reed is one of the greatest safeties to play the game. And arguably the best ever (I know I know...Ronnie Lott, but that's the homer in me talking), so my point is.....Ed Reed and Dashon Goldson have VERY LITTLE in common in that sense.

Plymouth, FL (PressExposure) September 02, 2009 -- Search engine marketing isn't an entirety program. It's an ongoing investment that must be resourced properly. It's not a one-hit, one-phrase paradigm. It's not built on quick wins for trophy phrases. For building a successful Orlando search engine marketing strategy, a monetary value is associated with it and that deserves proper budget allocation. For a better marketing plan for your business to have online presence, plan for an initial trial period, followed by some benchmark testing, where you will be able to carefully measure each result of your online position and campaigns.
To lay the foundation of search engine marketing, any company independent of its industry should be able to reflect it accurately and even spelled out to the last detail. There are four most important steps to bring new visitors to your site and make them your repeat buyers, to bring success to your business by using Orlando internet marketing strategy.
1. Objective statement: - Giving your objective statement a powerful "punch" which can be summarized as explaining your single most important benefit to a prospect or client. This "punch" could be description of what your company does, using only one or two sentences. A good example to this could be: "Our Company produces powerful e-commerce software helping Fortune 500 companies get more work done in one day, while at the same time saving them hundreds of thousands of dollars every year".
2. Onliest selling points: - Try to think of a unique fact or feature that truly places your company above all the others. Is your product or service really superior from the ones offered by competition? Is it offered at a lower price than your competitor? Maybe the warranty you are offering lasts longer or the product can be delivered the same day.
3. Targeting the right market:- One of the best ways to find out on targeting the right market is by looking at the demographics such as age, marital status, sex, job title or geographic region of t he country and this can be done by opting for search, using Google, Yahoo or another search engine, using "demographics" as the main keyword. For example, if you are a real estate broker and if you are trying to sell a house to a young couple just starting out in life, chances are that t heir needs will be substantially different than a middle-aged couple nearing retirement.
4. A time to answer the call for action: - This is the step that usually the online search marketers forget but it is one of the most critical. Ask yourself the final question: "What do you want your visitors to do on your website?" Finally, during and after you perform a keyword research; you should review your call to actions both times carefully.
A good structure or solid foundation to a well-planned Internet marketing Orlando campaign can make a big difference in the overall online marketing efforts, and will continue to yield long-term benefits for your business.

SAN DIEGO -- Nobody's stock is rising faster than MattDlugolecki's. Next on the agenda is seeing whether the San Diego State quarterback can rise to the occasion.
The 6-foot-4 sophomore temporarily ascended to starting signal caller with the ankle injury to senior Adam Hall. His first college start will at least be memorable for where it occurs -- famed Ohio Stadium against No. 2 Ohio State.
"I feel pretty confident," Dlugolecki said earlier this week. "Waking up (Tuesday) morning, I was a little nervous. It was hard to sleep. But after (Tuesday's) practice, I feel like the whole team is on the same page."
Dlugolecki got his initial live college football experience last Saturday when Hall was injured during a 19-9 victory over Eastern Washington. Dlugolecki completed his first four passes and finished 11 of 19 for 97 yards and one interception.
He earned praise from Aztecs coach Tom Craft, who was impressed by Dlugolecki's ability to know where to go with the football. That progress opened the eyes of Craft, himself a former SDSU quarterback.
Just last month, Dlugolecki was struggling to pick up Craft's system and Craft admits he was fretting over what might occur if Hall were injured.
"I really have a lot more confidence in him now than I did two weeks ago," Craft said. "We really started to change our thinking as a staff after the second scrimmage. He made a real big jump from the first scrimmage to the second."
Perhaps it should be no surprise that Dlugolecki responded under game conditions. He originally attended Illinois and was viewed as the possible successor to former Illini star Kurt Kittner.
And while he was a junior at Santa Margarita High in Orange County, he outproduced current Florida State quarterback Chris Rix, who was a grade ahead. Rix earned second-team all-league honors that season but it wasn't for his quarterbacking. Rix was selected as a receiver, the position he was moved to when Dlugolecki supplanted him as the starter.
That sequence begs the question -- who's the better quarterback?
"Oh man, now you're going to get me in trouble," said Dlugolecki, with a laugh.
"I transferred from Pennsylvania going into my junior year. And Chris Rix left Bishop Amat and came to Santa Margarita.
"Coming into the season, he was committed to Florida State, so he had to start. He came in too cocky. The coach wouldn't stand for it and he wasn't producing on the field.
"When they gave me a chance, I just knew my role and I just did what I had to do out there on the field. I didn't do anything fancy."
Dlugolecki did enough to attract the attention of collegerecruiters. He originally gave a verbal commitment to UCLA, but theBruins later retracted their scholarship offer when they learnedDlugolecki took a recruiting trip to Illinois.
Eventually, Dlugolecki elected to accept Illinois' offer but he would last just one semester at the school. He hated the Midwest lifestyle.
"I just couldn't get used to it," Dlugolecki said. "I didn't like the weather. You have that one period where it's fall, like a month, where it's nice. Everything else is humid or cold."
The timing made the decision to leave tough. Kittner's eligibility was up and Dlugolecki would have received a chance to compete for the 2002 starting job.
He again considered UCLA, but the Bruins liked the young quarterbacks in their stable, leaving no opportunity for him there.
Then the Aztecs entered the picture. Craft had just been hired as coach and Dlugolecki was intrigued by the situation.
"I was looking for proximity to home," said Dlugolecki, who redshirted last season due to NCAA transfer regulations. "I was looking for a pass-oriented offense. I was looking for a team that has the ability to win, and win big and go undefeated.
"I had a strong belief that Coach Craft is the guy who can pull this team through this. He knows how to motivate people."
Perhaps Craft's biggest motivating task comes Saturday, a day in which the Aztecs are predicted to be victims of a severe rout. One thing Craft will be watching closely is how Dlugolecki handles the demands of being a starting quarterback.
"As far as ability, I think Matt has the same type of ability that Adam Hall has as far as throwing the football," Craft said. "In fact, Matt might have even a stronger arm than Adam.
"For Matt, his biggest obstacle right now is experience."
Dlugolecki's natural throwing motion is from three-quarters and not fully over the top. Everywhere he's gone, including football camps, coaches have wanted to tinker with his release.
"This is the only school that has just let me do what I want to do with my motion," Dlugolecki said. "I've been throwing like that since second grade. I was a sidearm pitcher in Little League and in high school. I had this submarine ball."
The Aztecs are hoping his football success is much better than his pitching prowess.
"I wasn't the greatest," Dlugolecki said. "That's why I came to play football."
SDSU will be happy if Dlugolecki can provide quality relief while Hall's sidelined. The earliest Hall will return is Sept. 27 against UCLA, which gives Dlugolecki at least three full games to display his skills.
"Don't get me wrong -- Adam is the guy," Dlugolecki said. "He's dedicated himself through summer and he's the leader of this team. I'm far from being a solid leader on this team. I'm still earning those stripes.
"I'm trying to prove to the coach that I can be a starting quarterback."
AZTECS NOTES -- This will be the third time SanDiego State CB Jeff Shoate has played against a team coached byOhio State's Jim Tressel. In addition to the 2001 game which theAztecs lost 27-12 at Ohio State, Shoate was on the Montana squadthat lost to Tressel-coached Youngstown State in the 1999 I-AAplayoffs. "So far, he owns me," Shoate said. "We'll see what we cando this year." Tressel also remembers Shoate. "He's a good footballplayer who loves to compete," Tressel said. … RB DeAngelo Nedd(concussion) has been cleared to play. He'll participate on kickoffreturns and possibly see some action in the backfield. … MLBFreddie Taulawakeiaho (knee) also returns. He'll see action onspecial teams and will spell Kirk Morrison. … With DT Blake Lobel(knee) sidelined, true freshman Jonathan Bailes and junior-collegetransfer Derick Durbin will rotate.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Movies' started by SteveGon, Aug 25, 2001.
Sorry to hear she's having problems:
101 year old Leni Riefenstahl died Monday.
BBC says she was 100. Go here:
Morning Edition had a segment on her today. She remained unapologetic for Triumph of Will, calling it a documentary, not propaganda.
Interesting person and filmmaker.
The recent release of The Holy Mountain by Kino features Riefenstahl in one of her first starring roles; there's some incredible mountain climbing footage as well.
This may be morbid, or even in bad taste, but I have to wonder if Riefenstahl's death will be acknowledged at next year's Academy Awards?
Steve, I think that's actually a fair question, and if we are going to be forward and honest about it I would then add that the large Jewish portion of Hollywood might not be so keen on having her mentioned.
Considering her place in film history it makes for a bit of a dilemma.
Steve and Seth—interesting points. I would think that she is by far the least well known (by the general public) of really significant filmmakers. Plus there is not really much of a connection to the Academy.
I would imagine that her relative obscurity insofar as the general public is concerned will allow the Academy to give it amiss.
She also claimed there was not a single anti-semitic word in the documentary, and while Jews are not mentioned by name, there are references to racial purity, so I think she's being somewhat dishonest about it.
I know that she made great 'technical' movies and I can understand that some folks can watch them divorced from their ideological background. I can respect that. However, I personally can't bear to watch her work for the Nazis. I have tried watching 'Triumph of the Will' numerous times and just cannot get through it. It sounds melodramatic, but nagging images of people being herded into cattle wagons begin to play in my head. FWIW, I also cannot bear to watch Soviet propaganda movies for the same basic reason. Even Battleship Potemkin sticks in the craw.
Curiously, I can enjoy Riefenstahl's later work as a still photographer. If she was committed to the Nazi ideal, then she made a good job of hiding it in her famous pictures of the African tribespeople.
Well needless to say Triumph of the Will inspired many cinematographers and filmmakers and I for one respect her work regardless of her what she believed in or seemingly stood for. She was a true pioneer and I don't doubt that come 2005, Episode 3 of Star Wars will once again feature scenes that echo the powerful imagery seen in Triumph just as many films have and will continue to do.
Honestly, I think it's about time people remember Leni Riefenstahl as a film pioneer rather than "Hitler's girlfriend."
It's sad that some sites are going to ignore Riefenstahl's passing or are going to dwell her work on Triumph of the Will.
Let us hope that more will be a little more intelligent about her life rather than damning her for one film.
I can understand your view Andrew, but a lot of filmmakers have been quite influenced by Triumph of Will. Everyone knows about the last ceremony in Star Wars—and sports telecasting is still influenced by Olympia.
In the end, I can detach myself enough to watch Triumph of Will, but it is pretty hard to separate the art from the message and how this film was used to convey the party message all over Germany.
Let's put it this way. There are many talented filmakers today who are heavily criticized for "selling out". I myself can't think of anything more indicative of selling out then what Leni Riefenstahl did.

athlete of the week
Name Yeung Tsz-wing
Sport Taekwondo
Achievements Yeung, 22, won the Hong Kong Open Black Belt Taekwondo Competition in 2005, 2006 and 2007, and the Asian Cities Gold Cup Taekwondo Championship in 2006 and this year.
He is a member of the Hong Kong taekwondo squad.
Soundbite 'I first took part in taekwondo as a school activity when I was in Secondary One,' Yeung said.
'I did it just for fun. Before receiving my black belt, I had never taken part in any taekwondo competitions and didn't realise I had a talent for the sport. When I was in Form Five I got my black belt and signed up for the Hong Kong Open Black Belt Taekwondo Competition.
'To everyone's surprise, including myself, I came second. Then my coach encouraged me to become a full-time athlete and I took his suggestion.
'My family supported my decision. Now I make a living as a taekwondo instructor.
'The career of an athlete is short and I think I will stop taking part in tournaments in my early 30s and focus entirely on coaching.
'At the moment, I am looking to improve my physical strength and gain more experience by participating in large-scale tournaments.'
From his coach 'Yeung has great agility, he is powerful and his footwork is excellent, making him tough to beat,' said coach Lo Oi-ho.
'But he needs to stay calm and learn to make better decisions during a contest.
'Sometimes, he pays too much attention to the score and loses concentration.
'He also has a tendency to rush his moves when he is trailing and I have to remind him to calm down and stay focused.'
Ambition 'My goal now is to win gold in the upcoming East Asian Games. My ultimate dream is to win an Olympic gold medal,' Yeung said.

Something Ventured Trailer (2011)
Apple. Intel. Genentech. Atari. Google. Cisco. Stratospheric successes with high stakes all around. Behind some of the world's most revolutionary companies are a handful of men who (through timing, foresight, a keen ability to size up other people, and a lot of luck) saw opportunity where others did not: these are the original venture capitalists. All were backing and building companies before the term 'venture capital' had been coined: companies that led to the birth of biotechnology and the spectacular growth in microprocessors, personal computers and the web. SOMETHING VENTURED uncovers the ups and downs of the building of some of the greatest companies of the twentieth century, and the hidden dramas behind some of the most famous names in business.

Washington Post Staff Writer

Laura Bush couldn't have been more effective if she'd waved a magic wand, but it's hard to compete with Brad Pitt when trying to turn the nation's attention to "green" design.
At the White House on Monday, the first lady appealed to a gathering of National Design Award honorees, urging them to get involved in rebuilding the Gulf Coast. Their legacy, she suggested, would be determined by their efforts to improve the devastated region. She also put in a surprise plug for sustainable design, saying that Hurricane Katrina "gives us the chance to build 'green' buildings and to build energy-saving buildings" -- which made her sound like an early-warning siren for global warming.
By Thursday, Thom Mayne -- recipient of the Smithsonian's architecture prize and last year's Pritzker Architecture Prize -- had traded a gold chair in the East Room for a seat on a bus roaming the Big Easy.
Mayne's firm, Morphosis, is already a major player, having recently completed the master plan for a $716 million, 20-acre jazz park near the Louisiana Superdome, the first major redevelopment proposal to emerge since Katrina struck in August. On this occasion, Mayne, a rock star among architects, was touring the Lower Ninth Ward and talking small-scale housing and child-care centers with Brad Pitt, aka the world's most recognizable actor-turned-architectural activist.
"We want to rebuild intelligently," Pitt said yesterday at a news conference.
The timing of their New Orleans visit was coincidental, but the purpose was right in line with the first lady's plea, which might be all that matters to the displaced residents. Pitt invited Mayne to judge a contest to create affordable housing and a community center as models of energy-efficient, ecologically friendly design.
The contest sponsor, Global Green USA, has committed to building such a "green" complex in the Holy Cross neighborhood. Pitt, an architecture fan and a green-design advocate, had met the group's president, Matt Petersen, through the Clinton Global Initiative, and signed on as head of the jury.
Winners of the contest ("Sustainable Design Competition for New Orleans -- Advancing the Sustainable Rebuilding of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast") were to be notified over the weekend and their designs unveiled Monday on the "Today" show. (Beginning Monday, Global Green will open the voting to the public at Globalgreen.org.)
Mayne called during the judging to put the week's imagery in perspective. A leading practitioner of "green" technology, Mayne says he was eager to respond to Laura Bush personally but didn't get the chance.
"I was next in the receiving line when they pulled her away," he said. "I was going to say to her: 'You should encourage your husband. This administration isn't exactly famous for that.' "
In her remarks, Bush acknowledged that many designers were already engaged in such work, but she encouraged them with textbook-worthy savvy about urban design.
"The planning of buildings, city blocks and public spaces determines how businesses, governments, civic organizations and neighbors come together and interact as a community," she noted. By creating communities that "integrate schools, homes, cultural centers and commercial enterprises," designers also would entice displaced families back home.
Mayne's proposed performing-arts center and park -- next to the Superdome and anchored by the National Jazz Center -- could do much more, converting the symbol of devastation into a world-class destination. The private-public project is sponsored by Strategic Hotels & Resorts, the Chicago-based owners of a Hyatt Regency Hotel at the proposal's center (the owners' inspiration came from Millennium Park, which transformed Chicago's downtown).
Reed Kroloff, Tulane University dean of architecture and a juror for Global Green's contest, points out that designers have volunteered and contributed money since immediately after Katrina hit. Architecture for Humanity is organizing rebuilding in Mississippi and Louisiana. Tulane is providing master-planning for free and helping to design five prototype houses to jump-start the rebuilding process. And a house designed with the Massachusetts Institute for Technology will include advanced technology, Kroloff said.
"We're hoping what will come to pass in New Orleans," Kroloff said," is a new vernacular for the city," one that accommodates "the historic precedents that are so strong and dear to us but that looks confidently and creatively toward the future."
(Kroloff served as urban design chairman of Mayor Ray Nagin's Bring New Orleans Back Commission, which in January completed a rebuilding plan. While standing on the front step of a house that no longer exists, Kroloff explained how a political tug of war halted action on the plan. Private developers are waiting to see what happens to federal funding, which has been appropriated but is not flowing, he said.)
Contests have emerged as the most prominent counterbalance to Habitat for Humanity kit-houses, which are rising in New Orleans. Experts believe higher-density housing might become the norm if parts of the city cannot be rebuilt safely. Tulane and Architectural Record magazine confronted that issue with a competition called "High Density on the High Ground." More than 500 architects responded with proposals for sustainable apartment living above the floodwaters, including avant-garde constructions with nary a French accent. In addition, architectural students designed post-Katrina shotgun houses and Creole cottages for a New Orleans Prototype House Competition. Entries to the competitions will be displayed this fall in the U.S. Pavilion at the 10th International Architectural Exhibition in Venice.
The value of contests might be largely symbolic, but as Mayne points out, they are hopeful signs that "things are going to take place, that it is possible to take this disaster and make something of it."
Mayne, who was last in New Orleans in November, said: "It is shocking how little has been done. It's an embarrassment."
If rebuilding only required the nod from interested designers, the Gulf Coast, especially New Orleans, would be humming with life.
"It takes economic tools to make it happen," Mayne said. "We're back at the White House. You can tout [ideas] in that room, and everybody would shake their heads. 'We agree. Next? What is your proposal?' "

Novak Djokovic vs. Kei Nishikori 2015 ATP World Tour Finals Pick, Odds, Prediction
Kei Nishikori vs. Novak Djokovic
November 15, 2015 ATP World Tour Finals
The Line: Novak Djokovic -1350 / Kei Nishikori +950 -- Over/Under: 19.5 See the Latest Odds
TV: ESPN3, Tennis
Novak Djokovic and Kei Nishikori meet Sunday morning in the 2015 ATP World Tour Finals.
Novak Djokovic enters this match on fire and is fresh off winning the Paris Masters and Shanghai Masters. In fact, Djokovic has won his last 22 singles matches, as his last loss came in the Cincinnati Masters against Roger Federer. Djokovic has won 14 of his last 15 matches in straight sets and is showing very little to no weakness in his game as of late. Also, Djokovic has won the last three ATP World Tour Finals, showing the world why he's the favorite yet again in this tournament. Djokovic isn't making many errors, is hitting winners left and right and is overall playing extremely clean tennis. In order to beat Djokovic in this tournament, it's going to take an incredible performance with the current form he's in.
USA TODAY Sports
Kei Nishikori enters this tournament a little inconsistent, as he's split his last six matches and is coming off a loss to Richard Gasquet in the Paris Masters in which he retired. Nishikori has been dealing with a hip and shoulder injury this year, but the week-plus of rest should help him entering this match. When healthy, Nishikori has proven himself as a quality player, as he has five wins over top-10 players this season and did win the Washington Open back in August of this year. Nishikori just has to be aggressive, hit his spots and play with the confidence that's gotten him to this breakout point in his career. This is just Nishikori's second appearance, as he made the semifinals last year.
These two have played six times in the past, and Djokovic has beaten Nishikori in four of those meetings. The last meeting came in this year's Rome Masters, a match that went the distance. Djokovic has won the last three meetings, and Nishikori's last win against Novak came in the 2014 US Open. This will be the sixth time Nishikori and Djokovic play on hard court.
It goes without saying that you can't bet against Djokovic with the way he's playing. However, Nishikori is a solid, solid player who has the shotmaking ability to make this interesting. I'll take the points here.

Review by Carolee888
This book is wonderful, even if you don't want to photograph flowers, you will love it! The color photos are extraordinary. Even if you just enjoy the fragility of flowers, admire the individuality of home grown ones, or am amazed at their perfection. The entire book is a treasure. I am getting to the review later than I planned in doing because I could not refrain from studying the gorgeous colors, shapes and sometimes rhythm of the flowers photo. It so easy to tell that Harold Davis is passionate about photographing flowers Besides the pictures that you would like to study for hours, he tells you everything that you need to learn about photographing flowers. He gives clear and valuable advice on what kind of lens to use, depending on what your purpose is. With knowing that, planning out the photo and picking lighting that enhances the picture, filters to show what you want to concentrate on and the amount of exposure, you can confidently try out photographing flowers. He even shows how he sets up his light box set and recommends the best material for backgrounds for indoor shots. You would think that a book written by a master artist of a photographer would tend to intimidate you but instead it encourages you! He adds little bits about the history of the different flowers in the book and entertains you with his personal experiences. With this book, I understand how to do the things that I want to try; I appreciate the history of flowers even more and have more information about what to look for when buying photographic equipment. I doubt that anyone could have written a better book. I recommend it to people even if they just enjoy looking at flowers, much less than photographing them. I received this book as a part of the Amazon Vine program but that in no way influence my thoughts or feelings in this review.

i would never call stubby hubs hunk a nervous nellie….that is except right before i called him one. he can get his panties in a bunch in a way i have seldom seen before. i'm wondering now if he maybe he majored in conniption fits in college. i'm willing to admit that most of the time he is almost keeping it together and it's just me knowing him well enough to know that he is rocking in the fetal position on the inside.
in the car on the way home was a whole different ball of wax. i've already spent some time talking about the dynamic of our relationship, i may have missed that he falls apart in times of stress. i could recant a million examples, but the most recent will suffice. on the way home from our vacation, we realize we will need to stop again for gas. garmin has taken us on a strange route… again…around a large city. we are weighed down and have the AC pumping so gas is going fast. i'm driving. he keeps rocking back and forth in his seat. looking out the window for gas stations and then looking at the gauge. huffing and puffing. asking if i have ever seen the gauge that low. i'm trying to be cool and he is making it IMPOSSIBLE! in an effort to calm him, i suggest that we search for gas stations on the garmin (because she has done so well by us thus far). he agrees. garmin sends us to a 7 eleven 3 miles away…great, right? um, yeah not so much, when we get there there is a 7 eleven without gas pumps. i really thought his head was going to explode. finally we get gas and, in an effort to calm him we stop for indian for lunch.
hmm, should have thought of that to get us out of the gas crisis.
until next time,

John Piper Quotes About PassionQuotes about: Passion
It was becoming clearer and clearer that if I wanted to come to the end of my life and not say, "I've wasted it!" then I would need to press all the way in, and all the way up, to the ultimate purpose of God and join him in it. If my life was to have a single, all-satisfying, unifying passion, it would have to be God's passion.
God is pursuing with omnipotent passion a worldwide purpose of gathering joyful worshipers for Himself from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. He has an inexhaustible enthusiasm for the supremacy of His name among the nations. Therefore, let us bring our affections into line with His, and, for the sake of His name, let us renounce the quest for worldly comforts and join His global purpose.
The root cause of abortion is the failure to be satisfied in God as our supreme love. And, for all the great legal work that needs to be done to protect human life, the greatest work that needs to be done is to spread a passion - a satisfaction for the supremacy of God in all things. That's our calling.
Life and death! They seem like complete opposites-at great enmity with each other. But for Paul-and for all who share his faith-there is a unity, because the same great passion is fulfilled in both-namely, that Christ be magnified in this body-our bodies-whether by life or by death.
When you are deeply peaceful and confident that, because of Christ, God will bring you safely to his eternal kingdom and be the all-satisfying Treasure of your life forever, then you are free to see the truth, and love the truth, and speak the truth no matter what, and joyfully spread a passion for the truth whose name is Jesus.
God created us to live with a single passion: to joyfully display his supreme excellence in all spheres of life. The wasted life is the life without this passion. God calls us to pray and think and dream and plan and work, not to be made much of, but to make much of him in every part of our lives.
Exultation that does not flow from education, affections that do not flow from knowing, savoring that does not flow from seeing, feeling that does not flow from thinking - are hollow and rootless - noisy gongs and clanging cymbals. And God is not glorified by artificial and empty passions. True delight is rooted in true doctrine. God-centered exultation is rooted in God-centered education.

Are You Talking to Me (or to My Senstone Wearable)?
13 comments post a comment
A Senstone is a rather stylish doohickey that can record spoken notes that are subsequently translated into text.
I've said it before and I'll say it again -- it's wonderful to be me. Of course, my rugged good looks and inimitable sense of fashion go without saying (this doesnt mean we can't mention them), but that's not what I'm talking about. The thing is that I get to play with all sorts of cool things and, if there's anything I love, it's playing with cool things.
As a case in point, the folks from Senstone.io have just launched a Kickstarter for their Senstone Intelligent Wearable Voice Recorder. (When I say "just launched," I mean just a few seconds ago as I pen these words.)
What's a Senstone? Well, it's a rather stylish doohickey that looks like a piece of jewelry about 1" in diameter and that you can hang around your neck, clip to your lapel, or strap to your wrist. The reason I'm so excited is that, just the other day, the little scamps at Senstone.io sent a prototype unit for me to play with.
The purpose of the Senstone is to take spoken notes. In the case of my prototype unit, you have to press a button on the side before you start talking and then press it again when you've finished. By comparison, all you will need to do in the production version is tap the Senstone to wake it up and to put it back to sleep.
There's also a Senstone app that you download onto your smartphone. The Senstone communicates with your smartphone via Bluetooth. Your spoken notes are automatically transcribed into text in the cloud, and both versions (text and audio file) appear in the app on your smartphone. One nice touch is that the notes are both time-stamped and location-stamped (using your phone's GPS capability). Clicking on the location associated with a note automatically brings up a map showing where you were when you made that note. I can see this being really useful if I were doing something like visiting a new city, for example.
Another nice feature is the fact that you can associate hashtags with your notes. All you have to do is say "hashtag" followed by some keyword of your choice while you are dictating. Later, you can filter your notes using these hashtags and you can also search the contents of your notes looking for specific words or phrases.
The Senstone is said to carry a charge for up to four days under typical use. I haven't been using mine long enough to verify this, but I charged it several days ago and it's still showing as being close to 100% charged in the app. Furthermore, the Senstone doesnt have to be connected your phone while you are taking notes. It can hold up to four hours of audio when not connected to your phone, and it auto-syncs with your phone when you are back in range. When you open it, the app automatically syncs with the cloud, which is where the translation from speech to text takes place.
At the time of this writing, any communications between the Senstone app on your phone and the cloud are unsecured (so the Chinese and/or the Russians may have access to my shopping lists). When the production version ships, however, everything will be encrypted for storage and transmission.
My prototype unit is equipped with only a single microphone, but the final product will have a second microphone to help support noise reduction, indirect speech support, and even group recordings. The folks at Senstone also say that they are working on adding additional intelligence by performing more analysis on both the audio and the translated text, thereby enabling them to add intonation analysis, context analysis, and automatic punctuation.
The overall process is surprisingly painless. For my first test, I simply said "Testing Testing 123." Now, I know this may sound stupid, but when I first opened the Senstone app, I spent a few seconds trying to work out how to initiate the speech-to-text translation on the "Testing Testing 123" note I found there. It was only after pondering this for a while that I had a "D'oh!" moment as I realized that the fact I was actually looking at a note titled "Testing Testing 123" meant that the translation had already taken place. I felt rather silly, let me tell you. Fortunately, no one was watching, so let's keep this as our little secret (I have a reputation to maintain).
Personally, I have to say that I love this little beauty. Thoughts are always popping into my mind and I'm constantly scrabbling around looking for a pen and paper to capture them before they fade away. I keep a notepad and pen on the seat of my truck so I can jot down ideas when I'm stopped at a traffic light. Similarly, you'll find a pad and pen on the table next to my comfy chair in the family room and another on my bedside table. I even have a small pad and pen in a pouch attached to my belt. The problem with all this is that I end up carrying lots of scraps of paper around with me.
I cant tell you how many jolly good ideas have popped into my mind, but have subsequently evaporated away before I got a chance to jot them down.
While I was driving home last night, I used my Senstone to capture a shopping list, which was available on my smartphone when I entered the store. I also captured a few thoughts for an article while ambling around the store, and I recorded some additional ideas and bon mots after I'd returned home while strolling around with Henri the Hound (an incredibly stupid beast who would find it hard to outwit a walnut).
Now, it has to be acknowledged that there are a variety of other options out there, like using your smartphone to record voice notes directly. There are also smartwatches like the Samsung Gear S2, which supports a speech-to-text app called My Notes. The reason I mention the Gear S2 in particular is that a lot of the guys in the office picked these up last year for $50 as a special offer (the regular price at the time was $300; I believe they are now $200).
I dont know enough about these other solutions to comment. I do know that I wouldnt be interested if I had to scroll through multiple apps to launch the note-taking app itself, because a key point for me is to be able to take notes while I'm driving without having to take my attention away from the road.
There are also the "Hey Siri" and "OK Google" applications on iPhones and Android phones, respectively. However, I dont know if these support speech-to-text note taking capabilities because I havent tried them. Also, you'd have to be holding your phone close to your mouth unless you were sporting a Bluetooth earpiece (does anyone still use those) or you were using a hands-free connection in your car.
I think a lot of this comes down to personal preference. All I can say is that, in the short time I've been using it, having the Senstone always available to record my notes is working really well for me. I look forward to experimenting further over the coming weeks. I also look forward to seeing the production version with its multiple microphones and augmented intelligence.
Meanwhile, I'd be very interested to hear what you think about all this. Can you see yourself using a Senstone, or do you already use your smartphone or smartwatch to provide this functionality? Furthermore, if you have a smartphone or smartwatch that does provide this sort of capability, but you dont use it, can you tell me why?
