Right, let's review. In a relatively short period of time, the 49ers have:
1. Watched their GM bolt the organization with virtually no explanation;
2. Gone from an 8-8 mediocrity last season to out-and-out favorite to win the NFC West, without the benefit of actually having played another game;
3. Had a second-year running back walk out of camp and retire on the spot;
4. Seen arguably their top two receivers engage in a shouting match so out of control that they had to be removed from the practice field and taken into the locker room for a cool-down session;
5. Traveled to Seattle and laid the biggest egg of opening weekend, a 31-6 loss to the Seahawks;
6. Blamed the defeat on lousy communication all the way around, up to and including a postgame rant by coach Mike Singletary that was so unfocused he had to redeliver it to the team after its plane landed back in San Francisco.
Good thing this isn't the kind of situation in which anyone is inclined to panic early.
Oh, wait: This is the NFL.
Panic ensues. Isn't it remarkable what a single four-quarter performance can do to a team's public perception? Heading into their 2010 inaugural, the 49ers were being fitted for the divisional title based upon an assumed improvement and the general cruddiness of the rest of the NFC West.
One game later, the question is whether Singletary can hang on to his team. And it's as valid a question as any other.
With the defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints coming to Candlestick Park on Monday night, things could get worse for the 49ers before they get better. But the open rifts on display in Singletary's locker room -- and perhaps even within the coaching and administrative ranks -- suggest deeper issues, bigger cracks. The job just got tougher.
It is actually instructive to see how much latitude Singletary is being given to put it all back together, considering the stakes. The 49ers have been down for so long, going all the way back to the York family's brutal decision to whack Steve Mariucci in January 2003 without having a Plan B in place, that the level of belief in Singletary -- dynamic, forceful, perpetually trying to move forward -- is constantly in danger of being out of proportion with the reality of any one man's abilities.
Singletary took over from Mike Nolan midway through the 2008 season and finished it respectably, going 5-4 down the stretch. The 49ers' 8-8 record last year was, perhaps incredibly, the best the team has compiled since Mariucci was fired. Add the Seattle loss last weekend, and Singletary is .500 in his brief tenure as a head coach.
But the loss to the Seahawks is more notable for its details than for its effect on Singletary's career record. The 49ers went down with a whimper in Seattle, finger-pointing blame back and forth after a shoddy effort. Quarterback Alex Smith, clearly feeling the pressure in what is his last shot to establish himself as an NFL front-liner, said the plays were often agonizingly slow in arriving to him, causing him to burn through his team's timeouts in critical situations. (Smith still threw a lousy, game-changing pick on his own, but that's another story.)
Singletary blamed the problem on headset and wireless issues and vowed to take corrective measures, even if that meant bringing second-year offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye down from the booth to send in the plays directly from the sideline. But the coach woke up two days later to a Yahoo! report that suggests Raye is just plain reluctant to pull the trigger on calling plays, doesn't always use the precise terminology required and may not have the confidence of the people around him.
Singletary's response? "To me, that's a rat," he told reporters Thursday. "That's a coward and a rat."
What else? Well, the week before the season started, tight end Vernon Davis had so little use for Michael Crabtree that he shouted Crabtree down during a practice with such aggressiveness that Singletary eventually had to usher the two off the field. Running back Glen Coffee abruptly quit during training camp, saying he had made a mistake by entering the NFL in the first place. Scot McCloughan disappeared as GM in March, only to resurface with the Seahawks by midsummer.
Singletary is suddenly a coach putting out all fires all over the place. And his habit of speaking with straight-up emotion, which served him so well during a Hall of Fame career as a fire-breathing linebacker for the Bears, is killing him now.
Several times, Singletary has had to back off his heated original comments and return with a more coherent or instructive set of thoughts. His theatrics certainly can have their effect -- go back to his '08 debut as coach, when he famously sent Davis to the locker room in the middle of the game rather than watch Davis' act on the field any longer -- but more often, they simply confuse the issues.
Perhaps the signature moment of the 49ers' Week 1 implosion came well afterward, when Singletary surprised the team by calling a second postgame meeting once its plane had returned to the Bay Area. The coach later explained to reporters that some of his players had made it clear they didn't understand much of what Singletary was getting at during his locker-room rant, when the coach reportedly went off on Smith, Crabtree and the offensive line, among others.
"I wanted to make sure everybody was on the same page and didn't leave here having conversations in the parking lot, having conversations in the bathroom, and not fully understanding what I was saying," Singletary said.
A miscommunication, in other words. Just one game into the 2010 season, there's a lot of that going around the 49ers' camp. And in the NFL, it is never too early to start worrying about the fallout. Whatever the magnitude of the job Mike Singletary thought awaited him this season, it just doubled.

About the only thing Ocarina of Time has over Twilight Princess–
–is that it came first.
Despite an opening act that lasts several hours longer than it should, once the game gets going, it's clear Nintendo threw everything it had at making the ultimate Zelda. So many dungeons, so many cool sword moves including mounted combat, super cool items like a lantern actually required to light up dark caves, an open world that felt cohesive, engaging story arcs for many of the characters (except Link, of course, never Link). This game had it all.
And we were indifferent to it!
Yet I admit feeling the same when it came out.
It was too similar to Ocarina of Time, its art style way too Lord of the Rings for its own good (though, to be fair, everything felt too much like Lord of the Rings for a while), the aforementioned terrible opening act, having to collect too many light orbs or whatever to transform out of wolf mode (which was fixed, somewhat, in the Wii U remaster).
Replaying TP recently, I was struck by how wonderful it truly is. It may, in fact, be the best of the pre-BotW 3D Zeldas. And, yes, that includes Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask (which, psst, is kinda really overrated).
Heresy, you say?
Play it again yourself and you may become a convert!
Hey! Like this meme? Hate it? Indifferent to it all? Either way, I'm gonna make a few more and post them to here, my reddit (u/the_gammelier) and twitter (@thegammelier). It's dangerous to go alone, so why not follow me?

Sticks & stones won't break Kay's bones
The highlight for anyone who sat through this year's Brit Awards was a childish Liam Gallagher skipping his brother's name in his thank you speech (Oasis picked up 'best album of the last 30 years' for What's the Story Morning Glory) before throwing his new award and the microphone into the baying crowd. If you think Liam G is a pea-brained inbred then host Peter Kay's 'you're a kn*bhead' retort to Liam was definitely the highpoint of the night.
The chubby funster responded to the mini feud on his website today, giving the fire a good stoking in the process: 'Congratulations to all the winners, including Noel Gallagher, who sadly didn't get a mention (and who thankfully isn't a kn*bhead)'.
After the Brit Awards Liam was quick to have a dig at Kay on Twitter for his 'kn*bhead' comment too: 'Shut up you fat F**k. I'm a real Northerner I was brought up to say s**t to people's faces not behind their back. Live forever LG'.
...but if you can't see say it to their faces then post it on Twitter, is that right?

Why Is Using a Heating Pad Best for your Aches and Pains?
Using heating pads for aches and pains has been the better choice than its medical counterparts. Hence these devices provide relief without the harmful risks and side effects. Using heating pads for aches and pains is like getting a soothing and warm massage. I'm sure you will look forward to come home after a long and tiring day. Others opt for home remedies to instantly relieve minor body pains like applying an ice pack, frozen peas, or heating pads. However, many rely on heating pads.
Before you make this your habit every time you feel cramps or stiffness in your body, let's learn more about it and know how long can you leave a heating pad on to make sure it's not causing any danger to your health.
Why Do We Use Heating Pads For Aches And Pains
Heating pads are usually made out of thick, microwaveable fabric or washable covers depending on the type. It is used to warm and relax body parts that suffer from muscle pain, stiffness, and more.
Heating pads are used to expand blood vessels to increase blood circulation and add more oxygen to heal damaged tissues. More often than not, they are used to relieve and manage sore necks and backs.
There are different types of heating pads that are available on the market. Knowing each one means that you can choose which type suits your needs and preferences the most.
Different Types of Heating Pad
Heating pads come in different types: electric, infrared, chemical, and microwaveable. There are categories too, such as moist and dry. Also, some heating pad is designed for neck and shoulders, while others are made for back, arms, and legs.
If you're planning to store a heating pad in your medicine cabinet, make sure you know what suits your needs before you buy one. Let's differentiate them from each other.
Chemical Heating Pad
This is great for treating your body ache even when you're out and about as it is portable and disposable. This works better and heats right up compared to patch type. In addition, you can wear a chemical heating pad underneath your clothes.
Electric Heating Pad
If you're looking for deluxe comfort for that muscle spasm, then this is the type of heating pad that your body needs. It comes in different sizes from small to extra large.
An electric heating pad has settings that allow you to heat it to your desired temperature. Most models also have an auto shut-off feature for your safety. This type of heating pad will last longer if properly used and cared for.
Microwaveable Heating Pad
This amazing heating pad provides moist heat and produces instant relief. It comes in different shapes and is reasonably affordable. Moreover, this pad can hold heat for 15 minutes.
Just simply heat it for a minute or two, and it's ready for use. If you're wondering what's inside the pack, it's filled with either rice grain, beads, or buckwheat.
Infrared Heating Pad
This works the same as the other types of heating pads. What is special about this pad, though, is its digital function and temperature controller feature.
An infrared heating pad is either made out of natural or jade stones. With that, you can anticipate how heavy it is compared to regular pads. It may be expensive, but it is considered to be natural and more effective compared to dry heating pads.
How Long Should You Use Heating Pads For Aches And Pains
In this modern day and age, back pain is the common complaint of almost everyone. Luckily, we can rely on heating pads when it comes to providing quick relief for our aches and pains.
Then again, heating pads need to be used with safety precautions as over application of heat may worsen the body pain, especially on fresh injuries. Hence, this section aims to guide you on how much heat your aching body needs.
- If you're feeling neck and shoulder pain, wear a heating pad for 10 to 15 minutes to ease the pain.
- For minor back pain, you may apply the heating pad for 15 to 20 minutes long.
- However, for chronic back pain, you may need to apply heat for 30 minutes up to two hours. It may also require therapy sessions for fast recovery.
- For hand joints or minor stiffness, applying a microwaveable heating pad for five to 10 minutes is enough to relax the muscles.
In addition to knowing how long can you leave a heating pad on, it is important to prevent more damage on tissues and burn on the skin. Always remember, heat is for muscle pain whereas cold or ice packs are for injuries, especially swelling.
Safety Reminders:
- Always use a cloth buffer to guard your skin against too much heat and burning
- Heat application is not suitable for people with open wounds, diabetes, dermatitis, and deep vein thrombosis
What Are The Benefits Of Using A Heating Pad For Aches And Pains?
Heating pads aren't just for relieving muscle pain; you can also use them to warm up your cold hands and feet, especially during the winter season. Take a look at the benefits they offer:
- Instantly relieve body pain and menstrual pain
- Dilate blood vessels to increase blood circulation
- Keep the body warm and comfortable
- Improve insomnia
- Provide a comforting sensation
- Increase energy level
- Relieve muscle tension and stress
When buying a heating pad, you have to consider its features and the price too. As we mentioned before, base it on what your body needs and the body part where the pain often occur.
There is a long list of reliable and durable heating pads for back pain that are available on the market today. These pads surely take the edge off body pain and provide many health benefits. Nevertheless, it is still recommended to consult your physician before doing therapy for particularly serious injuries.
Final Thoughts
Clearly, using heating pads for aches and pains are really helpful and an effective treatment to relieve body pain and stress when applied with proper temperature and in the right duration. If you've noticed, they all have the same function, which is to help get rid of body pain.
Surprisingly, these pads work really well for muscular pain and lower back pain, but always use it with caution regardless of the type of heating pad you have. You can use a heating pad along with other types of massage therapy with your physician's recommendation.

The past two Stanley Cup winners—the Carolina Hurricanes and Tampa Bay Lightning—are from this division. And two other teams have shown marked improvement going into this season. There could be four playoff teams lurking in the Southeast.
The Hurricanes are still the Hurricanes—talented, tough and fast. Cam Ward will start in goal for the first time in his young career, while Staal, Brind'Amour, Aucoin and Stillman will continue to be major forces on the ice. This team is poised to go all the way again.
Atlanta looks ready to break through, having just missed the playoffs by two points last season. If goalie Kari Lehtonen can stay healthy, Hossa, Kovalchuk, Holik and company will be playoff bound, despite the fact that Marc Savard is gone.
Tampa Bay dumped goalie John Grahame due to inconsistent play. With former Columbus Bluejacket Marc Denis minding the net and a well balanced offense, expect to see them contending again. If they can get their defense better coordinated, they could go deep.
The Florida Panthers have a new force on the ice in former Canuck Todd Bertuzzi. He'll join one of the finest centers and leaders in the league—Olli Jokinen. Although they've jettisoned star net man Roberto Luongo, Florida's hoping that former Vancouver goalie Alexander Auld can fill the gap.
With one of the most talented goalies-- Olaf Kolzig-- and most exciting wingers-- Alex Ovechkin—in the game, the Washington Capitals should be ready to make a big move. But with a developing defense that for the most part is inexperienced, it should be another frustrating year for this franchise.
Look for the Southeast to be highly competitive, featuring some of the finest young players in the game.

When the funds are layered and distanced from their origins, they are produced obtainable to criminals to use and manage as apparently reputable funds. This final stage in the money laundering approach is known as 'integration'. The laundered funds are made offered for activities such as investment in legitimate or illegitimate corporations, or spent to market the criminal's life-style. At this stage, the illegal dollars has accomplished the look of legitimacy.
FINRA cited Raymond James for failing to sustain an adequate AML policy, and even though the company's AML officer and legal team have been not exempt from blame, some of the sharpest criticism was leveled at staffers in an Ohio branch office. The letter described a string of inquiries from the AML officer asking about suspicious transactions that were not addressed by a registered representative and workplace manager. At 1 point late in the game, the investor told branch staffers that he had committed fraud and was headed to jail. No a single relayed that facts to Raymond James' AML officer.
Taxpayer perjury is a willful violation. If a U.S. Taxpayer willfully violates tax reporting needs whilst violating other laws of the United States, (or as element of the pattern of any illegal activity involving far more than $100,000 in a 12 month period), such U.S. Taxpayer will be topic to a monetary fine of not far more than $500,000 or imprisoned for not far more than 10 years or each (31 USC 5322(b), 31 C.F.R. 103.59 (Criminal Difficulties)).
In current years, there have been a number of higher-profile Western bank scandals over money laundering. Most notably, HSBC admitted to violating the Bank Secrecy Act by failing to monitor over $200 trillion in wire transactions between its Mexico and U.S. subsidiaries, amongst other crimes. $881 million in drug funds from the Sinaloa and Norte de Valle drug cartels were located to have been moved by means of HSBC-Mexico's accounts to HSBC-USA by means of the unmonitored wire transactions.

5 Snow Safety Tips for Families
by Pastor Bruce
This past weekend, the Mid-Atlantic region just had a major snow storm with some areas close to DC reporting about a foot of snow. With every snowstorm, many people are going out to shovel in the snow and play.
We want our families to have fun while outside in the snow. So we are offering 5 tips on how you can have fun while remaining safe! Below is an excerpt slightly edited from NorthShore University Health System:
Layer Up
Dressing in layers helps insulate the body without overheating. The layer closest to the skin should be a moisture-wicking material, which can easily be purchased at sport stores – typically near the running section. This material will pull sweat away from your body and prevents you from overheating. Use caution when dressing small children and babies – scarves and mittens on a string can be cute but they pose a choking hazard.
All Helmets Are Not Created Equal
Snow sports-related injuries are becoming more frequent. American Academy of Pediatrics strongly encourage children between the 7 – 17 year old range to wear helmets to protect their head. It should fit comfortably yet snug on the head without movement forward or backward. It should be approved and meet the safety requirements for the particular sport.
Warm Up
After playing outside in the snow, come inside and immediately take off all wet clothing. Put on fresh, dry clothing and be sure to cover the wrists, toes and ankles to retain your body heat. Keeping a fresh change of clothes make the changing process easier, and don't forget to make a mug of hot cocoa too to warm up your hands!
Take Frequent Breaks
We all love to play in the snow, but don't overdo it! Take breaks every 30-40 minutes while playing in the snow. Apply sunscreen to protect your skin at least 30 minutes before going outside, and reapply it every two hours just like you would in the summertime (we can get sunburnt from sun reflecting off the snow!). Use lip balm with SPF often and apply sunscreen to all exposed skin. Also, don't forget to take water breaks since playing in the snow is a physical activity.
Beware of the Frostbite Danger
When you check on your kids, take a look at their skin. If their skin is pale, grey or blistering on the fingers, ears, nose or toes, it could be frostbite. Submerge the affected area under running warm (not hot!) water for 15-30 minutes. Shivering, slurred speech and clumsiness may be a sign of hypothermia. If that is the case, call 911 immediately.

REVIEW: Class war farce hits the right notes
Betty Blue Eyes
By Act II
South Holland Centre, Spalding
What can I say aboutAct II that hasn't already been said? Their policy of inclusion and fairness sees different youngsters taking leading roles every time and yet the standards they reach always amaze me.
When I saw this musical was based on an Alan Bennettscreenplay I expected plenty of laughs and I certainly wasn't disappointed.
Set in 1947 post-war England, this northern tale is a class divide farce centring around Gilbert and Joyce Chilvers, a working class couple aspiring for better things.
Gilbert, played by Jack Wheatley, is a chiropidist, loved by the ladies of Sheperdsford for his magic hands but looked down on by the snooty members of the town council.
When the Chilvers couple receive the double blow of not being invited to a posh Royal Wedding celebration in the town and Gilbert's application to open a clinic is turned down, the mild mannered foot doctor has had enough.
He steals the pig that the town council have been illegally rearing for the feast... and chaos ensues.
All sorts of shenanigans then take place, but we enjoy a happy ending, with the Chilvers' finally moving up in the world and the pig – Betty Blue Eyes – ensconced in the bed of smitten town councillor Allardyce!
I've not come across Jack Wheatley before but he put in a superb, flawless performance as Gilbert Chilvers.
His comic timing, facial expressions and demeanour were wonderful and he doesn't possess a bad singing voice either – he really is one to watch.
Singing is where the audience do have to sometimes make allowances with Act II's youngsters – we're not all blessed with great voices and it's an art learned over time – but leading lady Alex Gilman, as Joyce Chilvers, also hit all the right notes.
Her portrayal as a loving yet frustrated wife was spot on. This musical was over two hours long and she was involved in most of it but never dropped her guard in an exemplary performance.
What I've often said about Act II is that the performances are so good that you forget you're watching kids. This has never been truer than in this show with the performance of Maja Platek as Joyce's 74-year-old 'Mother Dear'.
Before our eyes she really did become a crotchety old woman and showed her own capable singing voice in the second half of the show with 'Pig No Pig' during the hilarious kitchen scene.
Two other youngsters who really caught the eye were Andrew Lucas as Allardyce and Max Szydlowski as Inspector Wormold. Maxseemed to really enjoy his role searching for illicit meat and his little song as he painted the meat green to mark it against human consumption was hilarious.
Andrew had to fall in love with a pig which is not the easiest thing to portray on stage but he did so with aplomb, mixing comedy with sensitivity .
I enjoyed Freya Theed's performance in 'Made in Dagenham – The Musical' 19 months ago.But whereas then she played the female lead, this time she played one of the principal males and her showing as town councillor and GP Swaby was really good.
Fellow, dour, serious town councillor and solicitor Lockwood was played by Eloise Wooding and although her character was not there for belly laughs she played it with all the snobbery and coldness required.
Of the other main actors, Freya Perkins as PC Noble, Alex Lord as Mrs Allardyce and Molly Charleston-Stokes as Veronicaall played their parts well.
There were over 40 other young actors singing, dancing and playing smaller roles and none of them disappointed.
The songs were catchy, the band superb and six months of hard work came to fruition because everyone played their part. Now I cannot wait until they tackle Bonnie and Clyde in July.
• The show continues tonight (Friday) and there are matinee and evening shows tomorrow (Saturday).Box offfice: 01775 764777

With the help of our Living Enhancement Program, she was able to set up a small business to earn enough money for her family's basic necessities. Her sons also help her to look after the shop after school. In addition, three of her sons are beneficiaries through our Light and Love Sponsorship Program and our Education Sponsorship Program. Keyvin's Family His grandma has cancer and is bedridden. His grandpa is sick as well. They could not have enough to eat. With the help from our food program, they could get fed and also feel our concern and care. The Maguiling Family: They are strangers here, with no land, no relatives. They just built a simple house on someone else's lot, allowed as a favour to them. They felt so warm and surprised when we send them rice.. The Kids Every day, rain or shine, they are so faithful and punctual to come to our center to play. Most of the families could not have enough money even to eat, much less to buy toys for their kids. They are so satisfied with very simple toys and games. They treasure every paper and crayon they could use for drawing. Some are from an area a bit far away; we bring them to our centre on a tricycle; over 10 kids could be jammed on such a small vehicle! The parents are so happy to let their kids go to our center. Their Thanks Liezle (Living Enhancement Program) "A warmest greeting to our living Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Brothers and sisters, thank you because we belong in one family. We are united with the love of God, and our union to Him is eternal. I'm very blessed, because God uses brothers and sisters as good instruments to help those people with spiritual needs. "I really give thanks that God has chosen my family. As poor in this world, but rich in love, hope and a strong faith. My family is truly blessed, because we know the love and the words of God. The love of God is the foundation. Why? Me and my kids still have the hope for our life. God molds me to love. Why? We learn how to face difficulties. We overcome all things because God lives in my heart. "God is the encouragement of my life. Why? I am still standing in the Lord is because I have the right to be the child of God. He lives in my heart forever. Brothers and sisters, thank you so much for the big heart to understand our situation. Brothers and sisters, thank you for showing and sharing your effort, time, and support. I appreciate how the Lord is in your hearts. Brothers and sisters, without your love to God, I don't know how my kids can study. But I give thanks we belong in Him from eternity to eternity. Brothers and sisters, thank you. God bless. Brothers and sisters, thank you for your kindly support." Lerma (Education Sponsorship) "I thank God, because He gave me strength and wisdom to do all my school work and requirements for my studies. By His lovingkindness and grace, I was one of the top students in our school. I received an award as an outstanding student (Mens et manus Maior Award). For this achievement, I recognized God as my personal helper and great support. To God be the glory! (I actually feel shy to let others know about my award. God bless us all!)" Lester A. Emperante (Education Sponsorship) "I am so blessed and thankful, because I belong to this happy and sweet family of God. I am really enjoying the precious moments with brothers and sisters. "I want to extend my most sincere thanks to the Light and Love Home organization and to all the brothers and sisters, especially to those who share their big support wholeheartedly for my studies. My family is also happy and thankful to you all. I know for a fact that it would be difficult for me to graduate without the sponsorship program. I also know that it would be hard for me to return to you the same support as you have given me. But I promised myself before that I would study my best just to make the sponsorship grant worth it, and I am proud to say that I graduated from my degree course with good academic performance. And I am blessed that I did it well with God in my life. I will also share to you that I have been consistently on the Dean's List for our department. "During my studies, my family and I had many lacks when it comes to financial matters. But it only became my challenge and my inspiration to be strong. I will always be thankful for all of you and especially to God. May God bless you all more than you are blessings to others. May He always keep our fervent hearts for Him. THANK YOU SO MUCH!"

James A. Wilson Jr., the associate provost for academic affairs and director of faculty innovation and enhancement at Prairie View A&M University, has joined the President's Office as an American Council on Education (ACE) fellow.
One of 39 ACE fellows, Wilson will observe and participate in key meetings and events, and take on special projects and assignments while under the mentorship of President David Leebron and other campus leaders. The program condenses years of on-the-job experience and skills development into a single year.
"I think what's fascinating about being an ACE fellow is you get a chance to shadow a president and see how they interact with the university and all of the stakeholders," Wilson said. "David Leebron is a phenomenal leader and after I interviewed with him I knew very quickly this is where I wanted to do my ACE fellowship, in part because he has internationalized Rice's profile."
After the fellowship year, Wilson will return to his home institution with new knowledge and skills that contribute to capacity-building efforts, along with a network of peers across the country and abroad.
Wilson joined the Academic Affairs Division at Prairie View in 2009 as director of the Honors Program. Under his leadership 98% of the honors students finished their degrees in four years and entered top-ranked medical, law and graduate schools. Wilson also established a Confucius Institute on the Prairie View campus in 2014 and launched a partnership with Xi'an International Studies University in China. He has sent students to study abroad in Ghana, South Africa, China, Korea, Taiwan, Costa Rica, France and Italy.
Established in 1965, the ACE Fellows Program is designed to ensure higher education's future leaders are ready to take on real-world challenges and serve the capacity-building needs of their institutions. More than 2,000 higher education leaders have participated in the ACE Fellows Program over the past five decades, with more than 80 percent of fellows going on to serve as senior leaders of colleges and universities.

I knew I would be a journalist since I was 6 years old. However, early in my undergraduate studies in Journalism and Liberal Arts in Ecuador, my home country, I realized that mainstream and social media did not always provide comprehensive coverage, and that different stories urgently needed to be told. Since then, I have committed my life both to the research and practice of this endeavor. I moved to Canada in 2012 to complete a Master's degree in Anthropology, where I studied community radio stations in Ecuador. In 2016, I joined a doctoral program in Communication with the objective of deepening the understanding of the possible relation between alternative media and women's health. I have also participated in different projects across Latin America and Canada related to communication and human rights for the past twelve years.
I joined the Global Voices team in March 2017. As the NewsFrames-Rising Voices Community Lead, I keep working in the intersections between the practice and research of communication, aiming to contribute to the creation and circulation of those crucial stories that still remain unheard.

I decided to satisfy a few historic questions by going to this game. Spennymoor were playing away at Trafford FC in Manchester and I couldn't afford to go there, so of the local FA Cup ties to me, this seemed the one with the most interest.
Chelmsford City FC are trailblazers in that for many years they were called "City" even though Chelmsford was only a town! It was only in March 2012 that Chelmsford was awarded city status. Chelmsford City FC have a long distinguished history in amateur football and used to have a ground at New Writtle Street in Chelmsford next to the County Cricket Ground. The first couple of times I travelled to Ipswich in the mid 1980s to see Newcastle play, I was always impressed by the size of the ground as the train passed nearby it over the viaduct.
After their establishment, Chelmsford City played at the New Writtle Street ground, which they purchased in 1939. During the early parts of World War II it was shared by Southend United, before it became a barrage balloon site in 1942. After World War II it briefly hosted greyhound racing. The record attendance of 16,807 was set for a local derby with Colchester United on 10 September 1949. Floodlights were installed in 1960. Several plans were made to increase facilities at the ground, including installing a swimming pool and building office blocks or a hotel, but none came to fruition.
In 1997 the site was sold to developers and the club had to move out of Chelmsford. They initially shared at Maldon Town's Wallace Binder Ground, before moving to Billericay Town's New Lodge. In January 2006 the club moved back to Chelmsford when they became tenants at the Melbourne Athletics Stadium, also known as Chelmsford Sport and Athletics Centre. The first game back at Melbourne Park was against former landlords Billericay Town and was played in front of a record crowd of 2,998. The club has plans to upgrade the stadium to a 5,000 capacity capable of achieving the necessary 'A' ground grading.
As for Leatherhead, I last saw them play in 1978 when they lost 2-1 at Spennymoor in the FA Trophy Semi Final second leg, but won 3-2 on aggregate. 34 years of hurt. So as you can gather, I was hoping for a home win.
Being a relatively short trip was good for me as I was supposed to be decorating my house today as well as scoring at Lee Valley Youth Cycling Club where they were hosting cyclocross races as part of the Eastern Cross Cyclocross Series. So as part of a busy day, I was up early, put a coat of paint on the walls and ceiling in the kitchen. Then a quick shower, off to Redbridge Cycle Circuit and scoring for the first two races before heading off to Chelmsford for the game. After the game I would have to head back home to put another coat of paint on the walls and ceiling in the kitchen. That would then leave me to paint the lounge and gloss both the lounge and kitchen on Sunday. Remembering of course that Sunday is a day of rest!
The ground at Melbourne Park is an athletics stadium. This is never a good venue for football – West Ham please take note. The Olympic Stadium will destroy the atmosphere you have at Upton Park. There is a large free car park at the ground which is a plus point. Admission to the ground is a rather pricey £11.50 to stand or £12.50 to sit down in the main stand, but you can sit for free on the opposite side. That sounded a bargain, but I will come back to that.
Once through the turnstiles, there was a stall for the supporters club at which they were recruiting new members and were collecting for Truro City who are in administration and facing imminent bankruptcy.
Next to that was a wooden programme hut, selling the match programme at £2.50 a time. This is in my view very expensive for non league football. Certainly it is nearly as much as some clubs in the Northern League charge for admission!
The view through the turnstiles was not too promising
Fortunately, the viewing area is not next to the turnstiles.
Passing the club shop and the programme hut, there is a relatively new building which houses the bar, function room and changing rooms. This is an impressive building. The club have clearly thought about how to maximise their income. Outside the clubhouse is the most important facility, the food van. Now, this being Essex and rather pretentious, ordinary burgers are not good enough. Here they serve Paninis instead and decaffeinated coffee.
However, the real face of Essex was also on show with this attempt to out do everywhere else
Sadly, like usual, Essex fails to realise that big is not necessarily better.
The ground is dominated by the running track, an 8 lane running track and long jump pit etc. means that fans down the touchline are a long way from the pitch.
Above is a view of the main stand, below is the view from in front of the main stand. Notice how far away the pitch is from the fans. This is not conducive to creating an atmosphere.
The distance however should prevent trouble between the bench and spectators.
The opposite side of the ground has seating at a lower level which are built into the wall of the sports centre. The problem with these seats are they are too low down.
Indeed, it is not really possible to see the pitch from these seats. This probably explains why most people on this side stood at the fence to watch the game and did not use the seats. The photo below is taken from sitting in the seats on this side.
The good news is that there is another food van on this side of the ground!
These are the bad points about the ground. Chelmsford City have attempted to overcome some of the problems at this ground. In front of the raised main stand, there are some temporary terracing sections to increase the capacity. However, the best thing is behind ach goal, where the club have installed temporary standing sections in the infield section of the running area. This means that fans can view the game from directly behind the goal not with a running track in the way. However, the access to these 2 standing areas is only from the main stand side of the ground. Barriers and temporary matting is placed over the running track to minimise the damage to the running track.
Two views above of the covered stand at one end. Newton Aycliffe may want to note the use of a terraced flooring makes the stand more useable.
The other end of the ground was an open terrace which in the first half was populated by the Leatherhead Massive
Despite being so small in numbers, they made far more noise than the Chelmsford fans. Indeed, it was very noticeable how quiet the crowd were. I would suggest this was due to the distance the crowd were from the pitch as a result of the running track. However as you saw in the earlier picture the majority of the crowd were behind the goals
The game itself was dominated by Chelmsford. They had a very promising left winger, but failed to make their dominance pay. They took the lead shortly before half time and extended that in the second half, before Leatherhead pulled one back at the death.
It was nice to watch an entertaining game and share a bit of crack with some Leatherhead fans who had come to Spennymoor all those years ago. It was interesting to learn how history has treated their club. Even a chance to reminisce about The Leatherhead Lip Chris Kelly.
Despite being at an athletics stadium Chelmsford have tried to create a football ground atmosphere with the stands in the infield area of the athletics track.
The clubhouse and commercial set up at Chelmsford are impressive and give the impression of a club going places
The home fans failed to create any atmosphere at all. This is disappointing when there was a crowd of in excess of 500 there
The admission prices are high compared to the Northern League (as is the programme price).
It was a pleasant day out and despite the ground not having the character of their old ground, it is a pleasant venue.
Chelmsford look like a club who will be in the Conference North before long.
I'll end this blog with a couple of oddities I saw at the ground. The first was the sweet stall in the ground.
Then there was this strange sign. I'm not sure whether I would consider eating here

Two former members of a Miami Hurricanes' 400 relay that reached NCAA nationals are intent on a fast start in a Browns-Dolphins opener.
Just before his last season of college football, Lamar Miller busted out some of that old Miami swag.
"I told the coaches if I get 10 carries, I'm going to average 150 yards a game," Miller said.
In camp prior to his first year with the Browns, Travis Benjamin had no trouble declaring himself the fastest man in Berea. He invited "the second-fastest," Buster Skrine, to race him any time.
"I'm like WalMart ... open 24 hours," Benjamin said.
Neither Miller nor Benjamin, Miami teammates in 2011, hit the NFL like a Hurricane in 2012. Either of them could blow open Sunday's Browns-Dolphins opener.
Miller replaces Reggie Bush as the Dolphins' No. 1 running back.
"He's in the top five fastest running backs in the league," Benjamin said after a Browns practice Monday.
The South Florida press made a fuss over the posterboard 2013 goals Miller parked by his bed during training camp: 1,500 rushing yards, 15 touchdowns.
Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin made a more measured forecast:
"He has the skill set that you are looking for. Now we've got to see how he performs when he gets more carries in a game than he's used to."
The Browns are studying the carries Miller used to get. He ran 272 times for 1,272 yards in 2011, when he was a redshirt sophomore determined to leave for NFL money.
Benjamin, who could have a breakout season with the Browns, played in Miller's shadow at Miami. Not that Miller got much national notice. The Hurricanes finished 6-6.
Miller's role relative to Benjamin's is reflected in three 2011 games against teams that were in the top 20 when they faced the Hurricanes:
• A 24-6 win over Ohio State. Miller ran 26 times for 184 yards, breaking a 54-yarder. Benjamin caught three passes for 13 yards and returned a punt 24 yards.
• A 38-35 loss to Virginia Tech. Benjamin caught a 77-yard TD pass from Jacory Harris, his only catch of the day, to cut a deficit to 21-14. Miller scored in the fourth quarter on a 16-yard catch and a 30-yard run to give Miami a late lead. He ran 18 times for 166 yards.
• A 24-7 win over Georgia Tech. Miller ran 27 times for 93 yards. Benjamin gained just 4 yards as a receiver, but did have a 48-yard kickoff return.
Yet, Benjamin was drafted by the 2012 Browns at No. 100 overall, after the Dolphins picked Miller at No. 97.
Miller and Benjamin were among the fastest players ever to play in a college program known for speed. They were teammates on the Miami track team's 4x100 relay team.
Benjamin (5-10, 175) is faster — he owns the Hurricanes' record in the 60-meter dash. Miller (5-1-10, 218) is nearly as fast while carrying much more weight.
Neither made more than an occasional dent as an NFL rookie.
Miller averaged 4.9 yards a carry, but he trailed since-departed Reggie Bush 227-51 in carries.
Benjamin gave the Browns a 69-yard TD catch and returned a punt 93 yards, but he caught just 18 passes on the year, and he got just two other chances in relief of Josh Cribbs on punt returns.
By June, though, quarterback Brandon Weeden was aglow over what new coordinator Norv Turner might do with Benjamin's speed.
"Travis had at least as many catches, if not more, than anybody in camp," Weeden said after the spring practice cycle. "His route running is phenomenal, probably because he's so fast.
"He's really found a knack of getting separation. He's stuck out."
The same sorts of things were said in summer training camp. No one could cover Benjamin. All of the quarterbacks were looking for him.
Strangely — or not, if the goal was to hide how Benjamin will be used in the opener — Benjamin was barely used with the "ones" in the preseason games.
And now the opener is at hand. Benjamin states the obvious, that the Cleveland defense must be on the lookout for Miller.
"He's a pretty fast guy," Benjamin says.
What about the dent Benjamin might put in the Dolphins?
"It's all about opportunity," he said. "Any time I'm in the game, I'm looking to take advantage of the situation."
With wideout Josh Gordon serving a suspension, here's the situation: Benjamin, the ex-Miami Hurricane, is the Browns' main man of intrigue against the Miami Dolphins.

I am so glad I don't live in Iowa or New Hampshire. I will not have to make my choice between Democrats …
* Hillary Clinton, who amassed most of the "experience" that underlies her campaign as a "Wife Of";
* Barack Obama, who is still trying to approve he's more than an "empty suit"with an open collar shirt;
* John Edwards, where the emptiness might be his rhetoric about helping thehave-nots, echoing in much of that 28,000 square foot mansion;
* Bill Richardson, Chris Dodd and Joe Biden, who are proving that REALexperience doesn't mean a damned thing in politics;
* Dennis Kucinich, who has suddenly been running as "HUSBAND Of."
And Republicans …
* Mitt Romney, whatever he is;
* Mike Huckabee, the "Christian leader" of the band;
* Rudy Giuliani, who is trying to figure some way to make Sept. 11 Election Day and how to avoid being a witness against associates;
* Fred Thompson, for whom the race is neither a sprint nor a marathon. It's more like a stroll;
* John McCain, who has had more ups and downs than a yo-yo;
* Ron Paul, who, if he were consistent, would run as the candidate of the Survivalist party and his first act if elected president would be to resign.
Am I forgetting someone? Definitely. Mercifully.
My message, then, to the people of Iowa is this: Good luck. You might be remembered as the ones who started one of these people on the road to the presidency. Remembered and blamed.

Tattoos have been around for thousands of years. The art of tattooing evolved independently in various cultures around the world and served extremely diverse purposes. Tattoos have been used to place protective symbols on the body, to signal social, political or religious groups and as a form of self-expression or fashion statement.
Tattoos in Ancient Times
The oldest documented tattoos belong to Otzi the Iceman from 3300 B.C., whose preserved body was discovered in the Alps. The tattoos were small lines, made by rubbing powdered charcoal into cuts, along his lower back, ankles, knees, and a foot. Experts from the Smithsonian believe the tattoos were used as a medical treatment for pain, as x-rays of Otzi revealed bone degeneration at the site of each tattoo.
Other examples of ancient civilizations that practice tattooing include the Egyptians, as female mummies with tattoos from the age of the pyramids have been discovered. A Penn State news story says Egyptian trade also brought the art to Crete, Greece, and Arabia. Tattooing has also existed in Japan since around the 5th century B.C., where tattoos were used for beautification, magic, and to mark criminals. Excavated Siberian tombs had bodies from over 2,000 years ago with tattoos of animals and mythical beasts.
Tattooing is found in even more ancient civilizations, including China. Celtic and Northern European tribes, such as the Picts, which literally means "painted people," all practiced a form of tattooing. Most importantly, the Samoan and the Polynesian islands, including the Maori people, is where the word "tatou" originated. Tattooing in ancient times, while various in form, existed on every inhabited continent.
The Decline and Resurgence of Tattoos
Tattooing started to decline with the rise of the Roman Empire, when Emperor Constantine banned tattoos except as use for brands on criminals and slaves, according to an article by National Geographic. Warriors during the Crusades, in the 11th and 12th centuries, would mark themselves with the Jerusalem cross to ensure they would get a proper Christian burial if they died. The Crusades' end marked the decline of tattooing in the West.
Japan also banned tattoos. The tattoo body suits that epitomize Japanese tattooing came about because of repressive laws that prohibited the lower classes from wearing ornate kimonos, and they would hide the tattoos under their clothes. The government outlawed tattoos in 1870 because the practice was viewed as rebellious. The yakuza, the gangster class, kept tattooing alive as they embraced the body suits, for the art and because it was illegal.
Tattoos Today
In Western cultures, tattooing entered its renaissance through fringe groups and soldiers and slowly entered the mainstream. Tattoos are becoming more widely accepted, and people today use tattoos as a representation of themselves, to tell their stories, share things they like, or to honor a loved one. Tattoos have also never been more diverse than they are now. With a melting pot of cultures and the availability of information and images from all corners of the world, there has been a marked increase in the number of styles in which tattoo artists specialize.

Lego Star Wars: Microfighters pops up on iOS App Store
Lego Star Wars: Microfighters is the latest post-Disney acquisition Star Wars game to slide into the world with a minimum amount of fanfare.
Like yesterday's Star Wars: Assault Team, it's a mobile game and we didn't get a press release about it; it's evidenced only by an iOS App Store listing.
A top-down shooter, Lego Star Wars: Microfighters goes for $1.29 and includes X-wings, TIE Fighters, Clone Tanks, Star Destroyers, Droid ATTs and the Millennium Falcon, with the player able to choose the Light or Dark side. It also boasts 18 fully destructible levels, 35 enemy types, eight boss battles, and four worlds (Endor, Geonosis, Hoth and Yavin, if you must know).
Although I'm jibing Disney for the way all these new Star Wars games are going unpublicised, this one was published by Warner Bros., although it's not clear if it was developed by Traveller's Tales. Like the TT games, though, it has a progression system based on collecting Lego studs.
This is one for iOS 6 users only, and you probably want a newer iDevice, as it comes with a warning about high memory usage despite being optimsied for iPhone 5.
As I'm sure everyone is aware by now, Disney bought Lucasfilm in 2012 and promptly closed the game development section, LucasArts. Since then, it's done very little besides farm the console license out to EA for DICE's Battlefront and allow a few mobile titles, but Warner. Bros seems to have held onto the Lego license.
Thanks, Polygon.

Laurie's goal was to bring spirit and passion to one of the most intimate and neglected parts of our wardrobe. "For too long the sock has been ignored by the world of fashion and we're going to change that." During the past ten years Ozone has set the benchmarks for what's cool and hip in footwear. "There have been more innovative and new design concepts that have come out of Ozone than any other sock company in history." The list is impressive: shoe socks, safe sox, hemp socks, radionic socks, tattoo socks, motorcycle socks, the replacement sock, etc.

Brief Overview The story of the Chilean miners was heard around the world and was definitely a suspenseful story that, for the most part ended well. Everyone emerged from the collapsed mine physically healthy to promises from their government of bright futures and better lives. Sadly those promises did not pan out. After being failed by their government and facing the broken promises made to them, the miners are trying to pick up the shattered pieces of their lives and move on as best they can. Many cannot find employment because of the high profile nature of their story, and most are worse off today than they were before this all happened. Fast forward to
2013, the miners are now locked in a bitter dispute over their movie rights. Thirty three men that banded together for 69 days to survive what can only be described as a horrific ordeal, have now been divided into two groups battling over life rights that many say they were tricked into signing away (guardian, 2013). After the dismissal of criminal charges against the owners of the mining company, Alejandro Bohn and Marcelo Kemeny, disputes over movie/book royalties, and a pending civil lawsuit (guardian, 2013), it remains to be seen how this story will end for
"Los 33".
Special Considerations There are several considerations to make when deciding how to disseminate information to the masses. In the case of the Chilean mining incident, the audience consisted of fellow miners, family members, and those with no vested interests (bystanders). It is important to take your audience and its needs into consideration before communication with the audience. When delivering information to family and coworkers of the miners it would be important to remember that they are victims as well. For at least 17 days they were unaware of the condition of their loved ones, and for 69 days, until the last person was rescued from that mine, they had no idea how many of them would actually make it. The news should be delivered delicately and with compassion. Give the family and coworkers as much information as possible. They will have questions about the condition of their family/friends so as much detail as possible should be provided to them. Food was scarce; the threat of gases such as methane poisoning the oxygen supply was present, the heat was sweltering (nytimes, 2011), as well as other insufferable circumstances endured by the miners would be important information for family and friends to know. This being such a high profile case, news was bound to come out in some other facet, and undoubtedly sensationalized. It would be better for friends and family to get the information first hand, that way they are getting facts and not tabloid fodder. It would also be important to family and coworkers to know what happens after the incident is over. What type of care and compensation will the miners receive, and for fellow miners, what type of precautions is the company taking to prevent these incidents from occurring in the future.
Action Before/After the Message Communication must occur within the correct context, so before the message is delivered the messenger must ensure the five w's are answered (Cheesebro, O'Connor, & Rios, 2010). For information to be accurate and in the correct context, who, what, when, where, and why must be present in the details. It is also important to remember the relational context of the information being communicated (Cheesebro, O'Connor, & Rios, 2010). Information would not be delivered in the same context to family, friends, and coworkers the same as it would the general masses.
Last, and perhaps most importantly, messengers have a responsibility to ensure that they are conducting themselves ethically, not leaking information before its time and not sensationalizing stories and misleading the public.

Super-imaging system based on light field camera - Compressed Imaging - MultiView
Super-imaging system based on light field camera - Compressed Imaging - MultiView Project ID : 7-2013-543
Summary of the technology
Super-imaging system based on light field camera - Compressed Imaging - MultiView
Project ID : 7-2013-543
During the second half of the 19th century the idea of light field photography was raised by numerous of researchers. The concept is to record more information regarding the scene. Unlike a conventional imaging action that translates the 3-D scene to its 2-D projection, in light field photography some information regarding the light field is recorded as well.
The optical creation of the light field function requires detecting the information distribution among the different field rays per each image pixel. This is commonly done by inserting a lenslet array in front of the sensing array and based on ray model optics to get the various fields in different pixels. In this setup there is a significant investment in pixel count and for achieving M by M light fields per mother pixel, we should increase the sensor pixel count by a factor M along each direction. This is not an acceptable demand.
In this project we develop an efficient light field camera based on compressive imaging capability. A combination of light field photography and compressive imaging is the basis of our research to reduce significantly the required pixel count. This provides the capability to capture the three dimensional image based on much more compact and cheaper camera.
Stage of Development
In the recent years we investigated various configurations for achieving light field photography. We developed a preliminary version of a simulator that simulates the various light field photography setups. Based on the simulator, we obtained some indications regarding the performance of each configuration in terms of light efficiency, spatial resolution and image quality. With respect to the Compressive Imaging, a detailed analysis was done and the appropriate method to be used was selected.
To achieve sufficiently low pixel count, we need to use multi exposure methods. Thus, frame registration is needed. This topic was intensively investigated in our laboratory and we have an efficient way to fuse images adequately. Additional activity was done in gaining knowledge for designing and producing the element. Prior knowledge was achieved in the clean rooms of Tel Aviv University while the team holds the know-how of the production process. Additional aspects of the camera design such as its aperture shaping were investigated as well.
Commercial potential
The proposed project provides the capability to capture three dimensional images with a long list of benefits: Changing the focus of the image; Digital re-focusing; All in focus; Changing the point of view; Performing 3-D mapping; Changing the iris; Augmented reality. Unlike conventional light field photography cameras (e.g. Lytro), this is achieved with reasonable camera complexity, price, size, perfect image quality and low light performance. The approach is relevant to the whole uses of cameras and may be commercialized via licensing.
