Adrian will not be good. Don't think airport will be either. Toss up. Smcc will roll Tecumseh with Coach Robb's head spinning lol. GI will get beat by Parma. Maybe by 3 scores.

Hoping Jefferson will be closer and I believe it will. If we can get any confidence who knows we could pull out a Win!! If we don't hopefully we do'nt automatically slip into heads down and here we go again. This game is huge for this Team Sounds crazy but it is

The Milan - Marshall game was close last year as both teams showed their youth. It's a long road trip against a team trying to impress a new coach. I'm hoping that Marshall doesn't have their schemes installed quite yet, but there's no reason to assume a blowout. This will be a nice test for the Big Reds to establish their defense and to find their identity on offense with Lindeman on the shelf for a while.

Adrian is in a state of transition after their long time coach stepped down, so hopefully Airport can take advantage. SMCC-Tecumseh should be interesting as the post Giarmo era begins. I'm thinking the league goes 7-1 with Jefferson as the only loss. EM

A look at Marshall's team, from the Battle Creek Enquirer:
Marshall has missed the playoffs in four of the last five seasons and is coming off two years in which it went 3-6 and 2-7, respectively. With a new coaching staff and new offense, Marshall is hoping to turn things around.
"With all the new stuff, we are kind of a squeaky wheel right now and we are trying to oil that up. We have our plays in, now we just need repetition. But we are going to look to run the ball in our multiple formation offense," Stealy said.
With only eight total returning starters combined on both sides of the ball, Marshall will have to lean on the experience it has.
Chris Upright is returning all-league player at linebacker and will anchor the defense, as well as see the ball as a running back on offense. Other key players on defense, include Davonte Gonzalez, a returner at linebacker, and Corey Dexter, who comes back for his defensive end spot.
The offensive line brings back some experience in Ryan Westrick, who as an all-league honorable mention selection last year, as well as Justin Holcomb and Jackson Friend, who both saw time as starters a year ago.
Look for Forrest Jackson to have a big season at running back, as he will share the ball with Upright in the backfield.

Sunday, May 21, 2006 | 7:40 a.m.
Long before Danny Gans was a well-known performer on the Strip, Variety magazine attempted to describe his vast collection of onstage personalities.
The entertainment publication settled on, "the Cirque du Soleil of voice."
That was in 1996 as Gans prepared to debut at the just-opened Stratosphere's Broadway Showroom. Last week, in a how-flime-ties piece of news, Gans celebrated his 10th anniversary in Las Vegas, enjoying a celebratory cake before his show Tuesday at the Mirage and drawing a standing ovation from a packed house at the Danny Gans Theatre after mentioning the anniversary from the stage.
Gans, who has returned to full-time performing after stepping away in November to have surgery to repair a torn right rotator cuff, was asked through his manager, Melanie VanBurch (Gans tries to limit his verbiage away from the stage), about the moment he'd realized he'd made it in Vegas.
It was not at the Stratosphere, where it all started. Or at the Mirage, where Gans performs in a customized theater bearing his name that cost $15 million to build more than six years ago. It was at the Rio's Copacabana Showroom, where for a time Gans split time with "At the Copa" starring David Cassidy and Sheena Easton (and I do get a bit nostalgic when recalling the reportedly combustible chemistry of those two stars).
The showroom originally seated 500. But soon after Gans started his run in January 1997, the theater had to be expanded to satisfy the thick stand-by lines of between 200 and 300 fans per night. A couple of bars were removed, walls were knocked out, cocktail tables were added in the back and Gans had forged his first venue expansion. "Yep, this is going to last," was his thought at the time.
Gans' contract at the Mirage runs through 2009, making it likely he'll spend nearly all of this decade at the resort. Having recently turned back an offer from Simon Cowell to be a judge on Cowell's new show "America's Got Talent," and rejecting an offer from Aaron Spelling to star in an autobiographical TV series, Gans is focused "110 percent" on his Mirage show.
Gans is built to last. He works out six times per week (lately he looks like he's using the same Nautilus equipment settings as Carrot Top, and it's clear that he expects to smile down on the Strip from that giant marquee for years to come.
Hit and Miss: The latest from the Miss America beat is that Las Vegas might still host the 2007 event, but other cities have joined us on the runway of possible pageant hosts.
One thought is that four venues would be used for the preliminary competitions (one site each for the swimsuit, evening gown, talent and interview segments) for the seven-hour "Finding Miss America" reality series to be filmed in August. The Aladdin Theatre for the Performing Arts could be one of those venues, and could still be the site of the live finals in January as negotiations between Las Vegas Events and the Miss America Organization are ongoing ...
Hitting a double: On Monday the Las Vegas Hilton is announcing a multiyear engagement for country duo Brooks & Dunn. The dates will start during the NFR in November ...
The Whole scoop: R&B vocalist, new Flamingo Las Vegas headliner and mother of two Toni Braxton said she plans to live a normal life while in Las Vegas when she arrives this summer (her stint at the Flamingo is scheduled to run from August through March). "I do regular things. I go to Whole Foods - I was there yesterday - and salmon is $29 a pound, worth every penny," she said Friday after a news conference announcing her dates at the Flamingo. "I wear a big hat and sunglasses when I'm shopping ..."
Trouble in this joint: The scheduled performances by Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme have been canceled. According to a news release, Gorme has suffered a torn meniscus in her left knee and has been ordered to stay off the stage for 45 days ...
"Companion" piece: CineVegas, billed as "The World's Most Dangerous Film Festival," held a VIP party and open-to-the-public screening of the Robert Altman film "Prairie Home Companion," staring (natch) Garrison Keillor, at Montelago Village at Lake Las Vegas on Saturday night. The festival runs from June 9 to June 17; for information call 992-7979 or go to www.cinevegas.com ...
Story for "Ages": During an offstage moment at Saturday's performance of "Rock of Ages" at Flamingo Las Vegas, a cast member told Jack Blades that he was certain Jon Bon Jovi was in the audience. Blades, a lead character in the "Ages" production and also frontman for Night Ranger, knows Bon Jovi and doubted he was in attendance. So he quickly fired a text message to Bon Jovi, who responded that he was not in Las Vegas but was on tour with the band in Dublin, Ireland ...

Step 1: Select the silk flowers and greenery you'd like to use. With wire cutters, trim off all the excess leaves, leaving only leaves close to the flower head.
Step 2: Select a few of your larger focal flower heads as a starting point to build your bouquet, try to spiral the stems as you add them.
Step 3-4: Add other flowers around your focal flowers, making sure you keep a rounded even shape. Turning the bouquet in your hand makes adding flowers easier.
Step 5-6: Using the floral twine tie the stem of the bouquet tightly near the top of the stems.
Step 7: Using wire cutters cut the stems to the desired length.
Lay the bouquet on a flat surface and attach your ribbon, in this case a simple tied trailing ribbon.

When the Last Ship Sailed
Immediate Benefits
The most straightforward way for a player to use XP is to reroll any roll in the game – even one that she didn't make. This costs 1 XP per reroll, and the player chooses the best result. She can continue to spend XP on rerolls, but this can quickly become an expensive proposition. It's a fine way to try to prevent disaster, but it's not a good idea to use of a lot of XP to reroll a single action over and over.
A player can also spend 1 XP to refuse a GM intrusion.

KINGSTON — Health care reform will boost funding for innovative state programs, Democratic state legislators said Thursday.
KINGSTON — Health care reform will boost funding for innovative state programs, Democratic state legislators said Thursday.
Assemblyman Kevin Cahill told about 220 Ulster County Regional Chamber of Commerce members at the Garden Plaza Hotel that implementation of President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act shouldn't be disruptive in New York, since the state already has a highly developed health care program.
The requirement that individuals acquire health insurance or pay a penalty — known as the individual mandate — should boost health insurance enrollment figures, state Sen. Cecilia Tkaczyk said, lowering coverage costs across the board.
Tkaczyk, a newly elected senator who lives in Schenectady County, hopes the reforms will lower health insurance costs for school districts and municipalities by allowing them to be part of bigger, regional coverage plans.
Her 46th Senate District takes in the City of Kingston and eight Ulster County towns.
As chairman of the Assembly's Insurance Committee, Cahill is a key legislator responsible for overseeing the phasing in of the health care reforms.
Chief among those is a statewide health insurance exchange, which will allow individuals and small businesses to compare policies and premiums.
New York's exchange will rate insurance coverage plans as bronze, silver, gold or platinum.
Initial elements of the exchange will appear in October, Cahill said. Full implementation is slated for January. The Democrat-led Assembly and Republican-led Senate couldn't agree on the insurance exchange, Cahill said, prompting Gov. Andrew Cuomo to launch the exchange on his own. Cahill questioned the governor's authority to make such a move, but noted that no lawsuits have been filed since people generally like the proposal. Cuomo's office wasn't immediately available for comment.

#27994 What Have I Gotten Myself Into?
Posted by VEGAS LADY on 26 October 2012 - 10:17 AM in General Lauder Solids Talk
Collecting is such an addiction but a very nice one. I started with powder compacts and then along came solid perfumes and now I have added perfume bottles not to mention the vanity related items that go along with them.
My Hubby is as bad with his model railways, at times our house looks like a junk shop, there always seems to be the latest buy waiting to be cleaned or restored and we have been known to fight over who will have our old scared kitchen table to work on for the day.
Alice...... Do be careful about buying dolls house furniture to put your solids on because next thing you know you will be building a full dolls house.... I have been building one now for the last seven years and its a hobby that I love but its yet another collecting addiction and the one that requires the most patience.
Welcome Shannon, I hope you have many happy years of collecting.
Margaret .........

We all like to win but there has been a few that have left their Olympic spirit at home. (News of someone being stripped of their medal this morning for testing positive for drugs... ) and I have seen one or two tactics that were not quite fair play.
So many unsung heroes who did not win a medal....My special one was the girl from war torn Somalia who came in last half a minute behind everyone....she had hardly any training and no proper track to train on but still she came and ran for her country and thats what its all about.
Most people in G.B. have taken these Olympics to their heart, we have waved our flags and cheered our athletes to a few victories even the rain stayed away for most of it ....guess the Olympic Gods smiled on us LOL.
I was not keen on the first part of the closing ceremony and thought it was a little obscure for the rest of the world.
For the last couple of weeks or so G.B. has had a little of the feel good factor about itself but now its back to normal......The European crisis, the rain, war in Siria, but it was good whilst it lasted.

I live in Derbyshire in the middle of England and its about two hours from London. We have friends who managed to get tickets to the olympic games but we came to the conclusion that we would sooner sit with a drink in hand and watch it on the T.V......its sure been good viewing.
Yesterday I watched Charlotte Dujardin win gold for us in the dressarge.When her horse performed to the music of Land of Hope and Glory it was all to much for me...and I burst into tears, so beautiful to watch and so patriotic. Her story is such a happy one, her family is not wealthy and until eighteen months ago she was just a stable girl who had dropped out of school. Her relationship with this horse was noticed and the rest as they say is history.
The one event that stood out for me was the Womans 100m hurdles. The look of determination on Sally Persons face said.....I am going to win this, and she did.
Its been a good games, the weather picked up and for once team G.B. have done well.
Come on U.S.A. keep that top medal position.......

The last time we went to Vegas was about our 7th trip and we said then it would be our last one. I love the place so much and just to mention the name always gives me a thrill, it feels as if has always been a part of my life.
The trouble is there are so many places in Europe that we have not seen yet ( this year we are going to Prague and Dubrovnik ) and the flights are so much shorter.
But who knows what next year will bring, I may well get that Vegas yearning....
Hi Sandra......
Yes its to far for me, even with a stop over I don't think my body could sit on a plane for that long.
We do have friends who go out for three months every year to escape our winter and they are always asking us to go out and stay with them for a few weeks.
Happy Easter to you both...Margaret

I don't care for them but I did go back for them a couple of days later and of course they had gone...Don't know where my brain was that day, all I took in was that flea bitten cat which I hate and then when I thought about it all the rest were there as well.

Never in my life have I got in and out of a car so many times as I did on that day, it was a wonderful experience and the stuff for sale was amazing. One that stood out was a beautiful (think) pig skin suitcase from the 1930's/40's
all fitted out inside with compartments for stationary and in more or less mint condition for $10...I wish I could have got it home to England.
My Husband got the best bargin.....a dozen old Dinkey cars for a dollar each, our suitcases were just about on the limit coming home and U.S. customs opened them.....think to look at all the perfume bottles and powder compacts that I had but they let us bring them all home with no problem.

Two things get bloggers' attention like no other: 1) youth; and 2) an act comprising either seven (or more!) members, a married couple, or just one person masquerading under a band's moniker. So, there have been smattering of blog posts on Arizona's Bark Bark Bark, but given that we're talking about one kid (Jacob Cooper) who's hella young (he be 20), safe to expect more internet love soon (fondness for synths and repetitious name are bonuses). And we fell prey to Cooper's trap; Bark³ brings it like Panthers on standout cut "Haunts," a dirty, dark electro-pop vibe, with digi beats and distorto-vox that moan along to fit its name. Night time dance fare, the sorta stuff Evan and Marilyn probably have blood thunderstorm sex to.

AVS Speaker Guidance
- 1. Packaging and User Guide
- 2. Companion app
- 3. Alexa on Product
This document covers the materials, best practices and customer experiences that create a great Alexa smart speaker. It considers the customer journey for an AVS product from the Out of Box Experience (OOBE) through to ongoing use, and outlines what it takes to make a great Alexa-enabled product.
In creating an Alexa-enabled product, your customer engages with three key touch-points:
Printed materials in the packaging provide the customer with an opportunity to learn about Alexa and what they can do with their smart speaker before setting it up.
A companion app gives your customers the ability to learn about key Alexa features on your product, and the choice to set it up. If a customer chooses not to enable Alexa, it should be easy to locate and enable in the future should they change their mind. Once Alexa is set up, the companion app becomes the customer's go-to place to learn about what Alexa can do on their smart speaker. Educating customers about the capabilities of Alexa is crucial to driving ongoing engagement with your product.
A clear attention system that accurately communicates that state of Alexa on your product. Once Alexa is set up, the smart speaker should provide audio and/or visual cues for what Alexa is doing at any given moment. Adjusting the volume, playing/pausing media, and activating Alexa is accomplished with the customer's voice or touch, but also with simple physical controls on the smart speaker itself.
1. Packaging and User Guide
A customer has just received your Alexa-enabled speaker and may have different levels of familiarity with Alexa, depending on if they did research online, read that your product was Alexa-enabled on the packaging, or have no context at all.
User guides in your smart speaker packaging should:
- Educate customers on the benefits of using Alexa on their smart speaker
- Highlight Alexa use cases that are the most delightful on your product
- Showcase features that will be most useful and interesting for your customers
If your product does not have easily identifiable button controls for physical interactions with Alexa, your user guide should also include:
- How to start an Alexa interaction
- How to interrupt Alexa
- If your product is wake word enabled, how to turn microphones on and off.
Additionally, all packaging must adhere to our marketing and branding guidelines.
2. Companion app
A successful Alexa integration into your smart speaker's companion app should allow your customer to quickly and easily set up and configure Alexa, educate your customer about how to use Alexa, and drive engagement with Alexa.
Setting up Alexa
Setting up Alexa in your companion app consists of these three steps:
- Introducing Alexa and its benefits, typically on a splash screen
- Signing in with Login with Amazon (LWA)
- Educating the customer on how to use the product and Alexa, typically with the Things to Try screen
Alexa setup should be integrated into the product OOBE flow so that the customer moves directly from product setup into Alexa setup.
For detailed information, see the Setup and Authentication overview. As you build your Alexa setup flow, keep the following in mind for each stage:
1. A Splash Screen
The splash screen explains what Alexa is and what it does, highlighting the benefits of voice control. You can design your own splash screen to match your companion app, or use the example from our splash screen guidance.
The splash screen must include:
- Amazon Alexa logo
- Mention of Amazon
- Description of Amazon Alexa
- Description of what Alexa does
- Link to initiate authentication flow
2. Login with Amazon
Login With Amazon screens must be implemented to Amazon specifications. See the LWA implementation guides for detailed specifications for Authorizing from a Companion App (Android/iOS).
When registering your product, we recommend choosing a security profile name that accurately represents your product. The security profile name and information will appear on the LWA permissions screen for customers.
3. Things to Try screen
The Things to Try screen confirms a successful login and provides example utterances to try with Alexa. You can design your own Things to Try screen to match your companion app, or use the example from our Things to Try guidance. The Things to Try screen must include:
- Amazon Alexa logo
- Mention of Amazon
- Description of how to wake Alexa
- Example utterances
- A link to download or open the Amazon Alexa app.
The example utterances on the Things to Try screen should be appropriate for the product's use cases. A speaker may emphasize audio controls, while a product designed for the kitchen may emphasize timers and alarms. Example utterances are available in the Setup and Authentication guidance.
When selecting example utterances, keep the following requirements in mind:
- If the product is voice-initiated, the example utterances must start with wake word "Alexa"
- If the product is touch-initiated, the example utterances should not start with "Alexa"
- The utterances should not reference third-party products the customer must purchase in addition to your product
- The utterances should not reference third-party skills that the customer must enable, however examples of how to enable your own skills are appropriate to include.
If the device your customer signs in from supports the Amazon Alexa app, you must:
- Link directly to the Amazon Alexa app if installed, or
- Link to the Amazon Alexa app in the app store for your OS.
The syntax for the links are:
- Android:
- iOS:
If the device your customer signs in from does not support the Amazon Alexa app, you must inform the customer that the Amazon Alexa app is available for download. However, you are not required to link directly to the app in the app store for your OS.
Customer Education
The first and third stage of setting up Alexa, as well as the Alexa settings portion of your companion app all provide opportunities to educate the customer about the benefits of using Alexa.
We recommend including screens in your app that educate the customer on:
- Features that are delightful and useful on your product
- How to use the product's buttons to wake Alexa
- For those products that are voice-initiated, how to turn the product's microphones off
This reinforces the information provided in the user guide, ensuring new customers are educated on how to use your product.
Where to add education
This information can be provided at the first stage on the splash screen or between the LWA login and the Things to Try screens. It is up to you to decide what features to highlight to best drive engagement on your smart speaker. As new features are released, we suggest updating this section.
You are provided with examples of what these screens might look like, but you are ultimately responsible for their creation.
Sign out and Settings
You need to enable an easy to find, no hassle way for customers to sign out. It can be integrated into the companion app's Alexa settings or may be a standalone screen within the app. If it is a standalone screen, we recommend using the Things to Try content so that customers are reminded of the benefits of staying signed in.
Alexa settings within your companion app will give your customer more control of their Alexa experience without having to use the Alexa app. The Alexa settings section should be labeled "Amazon Alexa" and if you use logos for each setting, use the Alexa brand asset provided by Amazon.
Settings that can be made available in your companion app are:
- Alexa language selection
- Enabling and disabling the start and stop listening sounds (only for products with prominent LEDs)
- Signing out
3. Alexa on Product
When integrating Alexa into your product, your product must have:
- Affordances to physically interact with Alexa
- Affordances to communicate Alexa states
The physical affordances to interact with Alexa will depend up on whether your products is voice-initiated or touch-initiated.
Sound cues are a key component of Alexa communicating with customers.
The ideal smart speaker is voice-initiated, allowing customers to interact with Alexa by saying "Alexa," followed by an utterance. This implementation puts voice first, but provides the flexibility for customers to interact with Alexa by pressing an affordance on the product.
This option is right for your product if it has a 2+ microphone array and a robust battery or AC adapter for power. See Audio Hardware Configurations for more about hardware and audio considerations.
Voice-initiated products require two physical affordances for interacting with Alexa:
- Action button
- Microphone On/Off button
This option is right for your product if it has a single microphone, a limited battery supply, or is unable to communicate the microphone-off state because of insufficient LEDs.
These products do not have wake-word capabilities and solely rely on the Action button to initiate Alexa.
Product Buttons
Action button
A physical button that allows a customer to invoke Alexa without requiring them to say the word "Alexa."
When Alexa is Speaking, a single press immediately stops Alexa Speaking and puts the product into Active Listening mode.
When Alexa is playing media, a single press attenuates or pauses the music and puts the product into Active Listening mode. If Alexa doesn't hear any utterance from the customer, the product should return to the Idle state with the music continuing at its previous volume.
When an Alexa alert, such as a timer, alarm, or reminder, is sounding, a single press stops the alert.
If your product's action button is very small, making the Amazon Alexa logo illegible, a microphone icon is an appropriate alternative.
If your button has other uses besides waking Alexa, a microphone icon should be used.
Microphone On/Off button
A physical button that toggles the products wake-word capability on/off either through disabling the products microphone or disabling its wake-word.
Pressing the Microphone On/Off button when disabled, re-enables the product ability to receive Alexa requests.
Both the Action and Microphone On/Off buttons should not be overloaded with additional functionality. These controls are essential to a good experience with Alexa, and they should behave only with the functionality specified above. Avoid button interactions that require the customer to hold for a certain amount of time, or double tap to access functionality.
If you are integrating Alexa into an existing product, and there is no possibility to add Alexa-specific buttons to your product, or will overload existing buttons with Alexa functionality, you can incorporate the Action and Microphone On/Off buttons into your companion app. However, this approach is discouraged as it does not provide your customer with a great Alexa experience.
Alexa States
A product is required to communicate state to customers either visually or with the sounds provided by Amazon. A great smart speaker experience communicates Alexa states with both, and they should be synchronized. The AVS Sound Library (login required) can be downloaded from the Developer Console once you have registered your first product.
Sound files communicate Alexa states and should:
See Attention System for more details.
To best display the Alexa states, a smart speaker's LEDs should support:
For specific guidance on the LED color and animations for each state, see Attention System LEDs.
Core Attention States
The core attention states communicate to customers that Alexa is:
- Listening for their utterance
- Thinking about their utterance
- Then Speaking the response
There should be no lags between the transitions so that the customer never wonders if the Alexa interaction has failed.
You must support the following states: Idle, Listening, Thinking, Speaking, Microphone On/Off, Alerts, New and Queued Notifications, and Do Not Disturb. See Attention System for detailed information.
When Alexa is Idle, customers can use the Alexa wake-word or a physical control to wake Alexa, which starts her Listening state.
LEDs: None
Sounds: None
Alexa has been initiated via wake-word, tap-to-talk, or push-to-talk, and the microphone begins streaming the customer's request to the Alexa Voice Service.
LEDs: Cyan and blue, animated
Sounds: Start listening, Stop listening, stored locally
When a customer completes a request, Alexa enters a Thinking state, which lets the customer know the microphone is no longer active and Alexa will respond shortly.
LEDS: Cyan and blue, animated
Sounds: None
Microphone On/Off
The Microphone On/Off state communicates that Alexa is disabled due to the customer pressing Microphone On/Off button. In this state, the product is not capable of sending any utterance to Alexa. The LED that communicates the Microphone On/Off state may be a different LED from the one that communicates all other Alexa attention states, and can even be embedded in the Microphone On/Off button itself. The Microphone On/Off and Microphone On sounds must be played even if Alexa is responding when the customer presses the button.
LEDs: Red, unanimated
Sounds: Microphone On/Off and Microphone on, both stored locally
Other States
Timers and Alarms
Timers and Alarms use distinct sounds, but otherwise, behave the same way. When a timer or alarm goes off, the appropriate sound must be played until the customer stops the alert or for an hour, whichever comes first. The timer and alarm sounds must be stored on product.
LEDs: Cyan and blue, animated
Sounds: Timer and Alarm, both stored locally
Reminders are also known as Named Timers and Alarms. When a Reminder goes off, the product must play the sound included in the Alexa response, and Alexa should then speak the Reminder. The number of times the reminder should be looped and the pause between loops is information included in the Alexa response.
LEDs: Cyan and blue, animated
Sounds: Reminder, cached from cloud
New Notifications and Queued Notifications
The new Notifications state informs the customer that one or multiple Notifications have arrived, while the Queued Notification state informs the customer that there are Notifications waiting to be read for the customer. New Notification require both LEDs and sounds to communicate the state, while Queued Notifications only requires LEDs.
LEDs: Yellow, animated
Sound: Notification arrived, pulled from cloud
Do Not Disturb
The product will not proactively communicate to the customer. Currently this is only applicable to sounds played when Notifications are received. When this state is active, the product will not play sounds. There are 2 ways customers can activate Do Not Disturb.
LEDs: Purple, animated
Sound: Do Not Disturb enabled and Do Not Disturb disabled, both pulled from cloud
System Error
When errors that prevent Alexa from functioning, e.g. Wi-Fi not available.
LEDs: Orange, solid
Sound: None

Inaugural ChIPs Next Gen Summit
ChIPs Next Gen Summit
Last updated 9/8/16
September 14, 2016
Washington, DC
ChIPs is pleased to announce the inaugural Next Gen Summit. Building off the success of our wildly popular pre-Summit mock exercises, we are delighted to again provide high potential individuals in the first fifteen years of their careers the opportunity to hone their legal skills and receive real-time feedback and insights from members of the judiciary, government and agencies as well as in-house executives. As in the past, we will facilitate a mock exercise, but this year, by popular demand, we have expanded the program to include a full afternoon of events tailored to the next generation of women leaders.
Events will be as follows:
Morning: Mock Damages Trial
By invitation only
This year, the exercise will consist of a mini patent damages trial. Real members of the judiciary and government agencies will preside over two teams facing off against each other in front of live expert witnesses and a mock jury. Each team will present an opening, a direct/cross of a patent damages expert, and a closing. The case will then be submitted to the mock jury for deliberations and a verdict. The exercise is followed by a networking lunch, including a recap and insights from the morning's activities.
Afternoon: Panels and Working Sessions
By popular demand, we are expanding this program into the afternoon with a half-day summit for the next generation of leaders in tech, law and policy. We will offer panels, fireside chats, and working sessions modeled on the annual ChIPs Global Summit—including federal judges, entrepreneurs, and in-house leaders—but specifically geared toward ChIPs members in the first fifteen years of their careers. Mock trial teams will be joined by additional ChIPs members from across the government, the judiciary, and in-house "next gen" leaders, ensuring a rich and worthwhile networking experience for all attendees.

Rindal Drive In Four In Huskies' 6-2 Win
March 6, 2007
SEATTLE - A three-run double from first baseman Curt Rindal highlighted a four-run first inning as the Washington baseball team grabbed an early lead and then went on to beat Southern Utah, 6-2, Tuesday in a non-conference game at Husky Ballpark.
Rindal also hit a solo homer in the eighth to finish the day 3-for-4 with four RBI. Washington, now halfway through a 12-game homestand, improved to 4-8 on the season while the Thunderbirds fell to 2-15.
UW sophomore Bryce Mooney (1-1) earned the win in his second college start, allowing one run on three hits. Mooney, who had struggled in his first two outings of the year, giving up three hits and seven walks over one-third of an inning, cruised through most of his five innings. After walking the SUU leadoff batter in the first, he struck out the next five and finished with a career-high seven strikeouts.
Husky reliever Johnny DuRocher threw two shutout innings of relief and Elliott Cribby worked the final two innings to earn his first save of the season.
Washington jumped out to a very quick lead as sophomore second baseman Bradley Boyer homered on the first pitch to lead off the first inning. It was the first home run of the year for the Enumclaw High grad.
The Huskies went on to load the bases on two singles and a hit batter. Rindal, a senior from Mt. Vernon, then laced a three-run double down the left-field line, clearing the bases and giving the UW a 4-0 lead after one.
In the third, the Thunderbirds got on the board when Robert Sandstrom singled and scored on a single from Joe Wright. In the eighth, pinch hitter Bucky Aona hit a solo homer, but the Huskies answered with back-to-back homers from Ty Rasmussen and Rindal to lead off the eighth inning.
SUU starter Dustin Wittwer (1-2) suffered the loss despite pitching well after the first. He allowed four runs on six hits over seven innings.
This Friday through Sunday, Pacific visits Husky Ballpark for a three-game series. Live video and stats for all three games will be available at gohuskies.com.

Katy Migiro
NAIROBI (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – If South Sudan slips into famine, it will be largely because the world's largest transporter of food aid, the World Food Programme (WFP), couldn't reach the hungry.
Katy Migiro asked Mike Sackett, WFP's South Sudan country director ad interim, if the F-word is keeping him awake at night.
The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis of May 9 says that "some populations within counties face the risk of famine unless adequate humanitarian assistance is delivered" before August. Are you worried?
As far as the next three months go, at least, we are not facing famine. However, we are facing a really very serious food insecurity problem.
Nobody in WFP has used the F-word. Some of our colleagues, who are not perhaps as close to this issue as we are, have done so. But that was a bit earlier on in February.
WFP, in March and the early days of April, conducted food security assessments in all 10 states. And I am not aware of any U.N. colleague who has used the F-word in the last six weeks. That's a reflection that they now have a better understanding and handle on the situation.
Can you confidently say there won't be a famine?
We are not so worried for 2014 about people getting into famine.
But we do foresee potential problems down the line. This will be dependent on the outcome of the harvest and the ability of humanitarians to deliver assistance in the interim.
This problem certainly can't be ruled out in the early to middle months of 2015.
Which parts of the country are worst hit?
The three states that we are most concerned about are Unity, Jonglei and Upper Nile. There's active military conflict which makes it very difficult for humanitarians to get in and work.
How serious are the food shortages in these places? The IPC grades hunger on a scale between one and five, where category one is minimal food insecurity and category five is famine.
In Unity, we've got about 475,000 people rated as category four (emergency) between June and August out of a population of about 1.1 million. This means they need urgent humanitarian assistance to save lives.
In Jonglei, we've got a further 329,000 people in category four out of a population of 1.5 million. In Upper Nile, we've got an estimated 244,000 people out of a population of 1.3 million.
There are about another 300,000 people in the other states, so the total is 1.4 million category fours who would be our primary focus of concern in the next three months.
And the number of people in category three (crisis), where malnutrition is approaching the emergency threshold of 15 percent?
The total (in South Sudan) is 2.6 million from June to August.
How are you getting food to those in need?
The basic approach is to get as much in by surface, by truck, as possible. That has been disrupted by primarily by the military action. We probably delivered less than half of the food we wanted to preposition.
The fallback position is airdrops and airlifts. We are increasingly resorting to that as the rains have well and truly started. We are now going into ramping up the air deliveries as the principal means of access in the most difficult areas.
When will the roads dry up again?
The rain tails off in September. If we have a heavier than average wet season, we might find it difficult to get much road access before mid November.
If the ceasefire holds, what kind of activities could we see?
If there was a genuine cessation of hostilities, it would enable good numbers of the population to get a crop planted.
While most farmers in a normal situation would take advantage of rains beginning in early April, useful planting can continue right through July and possibly into August.
Secondly, a period of tranquillity would immediately help us to step up our deliveries.
Food that is in country – that could be easily trucked to where it is needed in Maban (county in Upper Nile state) – has been held up for more than three weeks now due to the fighting that broke out in Renk (county in Upper Nile state) around 16 April.
What are your hopes for the Oslo donor conference on May 20?
WFP, amongst others, is desperately waiting the outcome of this. We need that to be a big response, arguably for WFP $200 million to $300 million plus.
We are ramping up our deliveries. What we hope to deliver in May, all being well, will be twice what we delivered in April. We need more donors to give money if we are to maintain the flow of food after one month.
We have various mechanisms which can translate a cash pledge made in Berlin or Brussels into food that is in the corridor between Mombasa and Juba almost overnight. But we can't mobilise that food without donors.
That's one of the things that keeps me awake at night. If we don't have more resources, then your chances of hearing the F-word in the future will go up.

You Could Own The Same Crazy Limo As Vladimir Putin
If you're like most of us, you're doing all you can to make your life as similar to Vladimir Putin's as possible: you're riding on horseback shirtless, ordering people you don't like to be poisoned, and having athletic, vigorous sex with bears. Now, you (and up to about 5,000 of your friends) can take that final step…
Putin Inspects The Federal Security Service's 'Punisher' And Other Intimidating Vehicles
Vladimir Putin loves to check out and even ride in the different vehicles that make up Russia's national security arsenal. Yet we have never seen him alongside one of Russia's most garish vehicles, the Federal Security Services "Punisher" or "Chastiser" armored car, until now.
Zil's Crazy 'Punisher' Armored Vehicles Spotted On The Streets Of Russia
It looks like a heavily armored (possibly production) variant of Zil's wild armored car may have made it into operational service with Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB). The video below, posted in June, shows the futuristic armored truck roaming Russian roads with other jet black armored vehicles normally…

While Russian manufacturer Zavod imeni Likhachova—more commonly referred to as ZIL—might be best known for the buses and trucks they produce, the company also built the high dollar executive sedans and limos that transported rich and important Russians for decades.
Russia's New Presidential Limo Is A Retro-Futuristic Despot's Dream
When Boris Yeltsin became president of Russia he mothballed the stale Russian-built ZIL limousines and upgraded to an armored Mercedes S-Class and the country's leaders have never looked back. Until now. A Russian-designer's been tapped to design a new version of the ZIL limo and it looks like it's from an alternative…

We Will Bury You! The ZIL-111
While Ladas and Zastavas were all fine and good for the workers, the big shots rolled in a ZIL.

The Post-Stalinist ZIL brought American styling cues into the mix with the likes of Yuri Gagarin and Nikita…

Chargers at Broncos (Thursday 8:25pm)
The Chargers have a knack for playing well in Denver (having won 3 of the last 4). No Wes Welker for the Broncos, but that shouldn't stop them.
Winner: Broncos
Patriots at Dolphins (Sunday 1pm)
Life without Gronk (again) begins anew for New England. Will the Dolphins be the first beneficiaries?
Winner: Patriots
Redskins at Falcons (Sunday 1pm)
Washington is a mess even though the fallout may be that the Skins field a better QB this week with Kirk Cousins in for RGIII.
Winner: Falcons
Bears at Browns (Sunday 1pm)
Cutler or McCown. That's the question for the Bears. The question for Cleveland is how do the Browns respond to losing a 13 point lead in 63 seconds in losing at New England last Sunday.
Winner: Browns
Texans at Colts (Sunday 1pm)
The Colts are reeling. The Texans are reeling more.
Winner: Colts
Bills at Jaguars (Sunday 1pm)
The hottest team in the AFC South plays in Jacksonville. So, for the 2nd straight week, Buffalo will lose to a team that started the season 0-8.
Winner: Jaguars
Eagles at Vikings (Sunday 1pm)
Both Adrian Peterson and Toby Gerhart are hurt. Fantasy football players will love Nick Foles this week (again!).
Winner: Eagles
Seahawks at Giants (Sunday 1pm)
Consider this the MetLife Stadium dress rehearsal for Seattle. Opening night should come February 2nd.

49ers at Bucs (Sunday 1pm)
This one will be closer than you think and could be a trap game for the Niners, coming off an emotional win over the Seahawks.
Winner: 49ers
Jets at Panthers (Sunday 4pm)
Not exactly what the Doctor ordered for the Jets: a trip to Carolina to face an angry Panthers team coming off an awful night in New Orleans last Sunday.
Winner: Panthers
Chiefs at Raiders (sunday 4pm)
If only the Chiefs could face RGIII every Sunday.
Winner: Chiefs
Packers at Cowboys (Sunday 4:25pm)
Can the Cowboys "D" look any worse than they did last Monday night in Chicago? Not facing Aaron Rodgers would help.
Winner: Cowboys
Saints at Rams (Sunday 4:25pm)
Rolling, rolling, rolling. Saints in a Dome keep rolling.
Winner: Saints
Cardinals at Titans (Sunday 4:25pm)
Must win spot for Arizona here to keep pace in the NFC Playoff Chase.
Winner: Cardinals
Bengals at Steelers (Sunday 8:30pm)
If the Bengals are to be real players in the AFC, games like this, on the road against an inferior team, are must wins. Do you trust the Bengals?
Winner: Steelers
Ravens at Lions (Monday 8:40pm)
We keep saying it, the Lions just can't stand prosperity. Home loss here against a team that knows how to win in December would be devastating to the playoff cause.
Winner: Ravens
Last week: 14-2
Season: 135-71-1

I went to the web address you suggested - to be honest I am even more
annoyed now than before.
1. I could not find the entrance - indeed, unlike a real museum I had no
idea if there was an entrance or indeed if there was a "building" - since
virtual exhibitions don't require a physical shop front and could be any
size. I tried entering a few doors on the British Museum web site, but none
of them seemed to lead anywhere and only one room had anything in it (a bit
like our local museum)!
2. What I did find seemed to be pure and simply adverts for exhibitions at
the museum - which I haven't a hope of attending because I don't have three
days spare and spare money for the 800 mile return trip.
3. I did manage to see one "room" with twelve photos of the middle East
before Islam - as a single placard within a single showcase - it was very
good, but what about everything else?
Can I suggest if you are going to offer virtual access:-
1. Create a entrance hall for virtual access with :
2. An entrance for each exhibition - giving an explanation and size to the
exhibition (200 items 1/2 hour)
3. " " ... for a library (i.e. random item access) for a help desk,
for contacts, for suggestions box,
4. " " ... a sales desk (books etc.)
5. A map
5a. "what's new"
6. Provide quick access to exhibitions e.g. a couple of pages containing
mini-pictures of all items.
7. Each page should tell you where you are (particularly important if an
item is located by a search facility". British
Museum->Egyptian->mummies->ornaments that way, the visitor can find the item
again and find other related items giving a context.
8. You also ought to make suggestions like "you've visited 'Greek coins' why
not now consider 'Greek pottery' 'Greek sculpture' 'Greek temples' 'Greek
writing' 'roman coins' 'Egyptian coins'
9. Once a reasonable number of items are online - you ought to be able to
let schools/universities produce their own virtual tours - indeed, if you
are really clever, you will let them do most of the hard work!
10. Charge for access! You are after all providing a service for which most
people would need to pay at least the equivalent of an "all zones day
return" to access - explain this and make it clear the funds go to improving
the web access and then most people should accept it!
