So remember Peter King's report of the Steeler's front office 'leaving the Redskins hanging' on a potential swap of first round draft picks?
Turns out it was just another juicy internet rumor that got spread by people who should know better.
Pro Football Talk's Mike Floria talked with King about what happened & how it got started (courtesy of the DCSportsBog):
Florio: "Explain to us what exactly happened to cause you and me to conclude that Dan Snyder gave an interview this weekend on Sirius radio talking about the possibility of a trade with the Steelers in Round One of the draft?"
King: "Well, I mean, as I put Monday Morning Quarterback together, I think it was at some point on Saturday – it might have been [Sunday] because I did it on both days this weekend – I read this note on Twitter that was kind of heavily trafficked and a lot of people had picked it up. And [it] basically said that Dan Snyder said that the Redskins and Steelers had some talk about Washington trading down to Pittsburgh's pick at 31 if the player that Pittsburgh still wanted was gonna be there at pick 16. And everybody assumed it was gonna be Mike Pouncey.
"And so I'm not saying it was wildfire over the weekend, but it was a very well-traveled note, and because it was done by, you know, by what I consider – and I've read some of their blogs before….And look, I mean, we all wonder sometimes where some rumors come from, but this seemed to be about as straightforward as it is, Snyder said this on the radio, on Sirius radio.
"And so this morning Tony Wyllie of the Redskins, the PR guy called me and said Dan didn't do this interview, and he called me back a little later and said Bruce Allen said that they didn't even talk on draft day. And in the meantime, the Sirius public relations guy said that to the best of our knowledge Dan Snyder's not been on our air in this past week. So you know, it sounds like somehow this thing grew some legs, and I'm still trying to find out – and I've got a call into the Steelers."
Florio: [After talking about Mike Wise's Twitter hoax.] "This is a guy who's been on the Pittsburgh media scene for 20 years, he covers the Steelers. If he puts it out there, it's reasonable for Peter to assume and everyone else to assume that it's legitimate. And he's gotta explain himself. He can't just say my apologies, he's got to explain himself."
King: "And again, if Ed Bouchette in Pittsburgh writes a story that basically says that Dan Snyder was on Sirius radio saying they were in talks with the Steelers to trade this pick, well, there's a certain cache that Ed Bouchette has or that a veteran Steelers media guy has or any veteran guy has. And that's one of the reasons. And it isn't like he was reporting that it happened, he was reporting that it was done on an interview on Sirius radio.
"It's one of those things that unfortunately makes you kind of doubt even more of what you read on the Internet, I think. You know, that you have to check two plus two equals four these days…The one other thing is it's a long way to move for a guard, you know, moving from 31 to 16 would have been a very long way to move, and I doubt that they would have been able to get it done, but hey, who knows."
Florio: "And it makes me very interested in what the Redskins would have done at no. 31, would they have gone with a quarterback at that point, and if so why didn't they just take the quarterback they liked at 16? Were they worried about the criticism of reaching or whatever the case may be?…You've just got to wonder if they were thinking about going down to no. 31, what were they thinking about doing once they got there?"

I prefer the term "Computer Service". Computer "repair" has never really
been a thing. It implies fixing hardware issues, but honestly hardware
issues have always been rare. I bought a computer in 1995 and it lasted for
a few years with no problems. I upgraded eventually but it never had needs
for a repair.
Today, I would say it's still a lucrative business. That's why Geek Squad
can charge so much.
I get clients and calls all day and I have to turn them away because it
gets too busy, or bring in someone temporarily to assist.
But the idea of this business is to replace your full-time day job with
equivalent or more income, doing something you like on your own schedule.
It's not go grow an empire.
Computer Services, I do computer training, teaching, website
troubleshooting, monthly support for small businesses that make a lot of
day after day I get virus, malware and ransomeware fixes. People can't buy
a new computer to fix those issues. All their data is jeopardized and
buying a new computer still cost 2x as much as a repair.
I don't think its so much that people can't afford $150 for a tuneup.. I
think the hit the economy took made people more conscious of their spending
habits..realizing $150 for a tuneup is steep. I just believe that most
business owners pricing wasn't competitive enough… They wanted to make
big bucks right away. Small computer repair shops have essentially always
forced the public to believe that prices like $250 for virus removal were
fair. My tuneups, since 2008, have been no more than $65..Virus removal
$90. Why so "cheap"? Because I'm fair..and I build awesome relationships
with my customers.. and because of this I always have a good amount of
work…and because I know how long a job will take me to complete. I can
complete 3 "tune-ups" and heavy malware mitigation in less than an hour..
all at the same time. Learn how to manage your clients and your workflow.
I remember working for a computer repair company making $8 an hour, it was
a joke. The owner made bank! While I did most of the work! I ran the shop
and he literally sat at home all the time. Looking back now I realized how
screwed up the position was (young first job). Before that I did computer
work on the side as a teenager and so many of the people I did work for
constantly told me I needed to get out of there. I was busy constantly. I
was screwed out of pay several times. The few times the owner stepped into
the shop he would fuck things up to the point I had to take my time after
work to go back and fix them (many of these were for businesses) He started
to think I was trying to take over his business and was stealing his
customers so he hired other employees to try and replace me. But I was one
of the best techs in town! So they were constantly not able to keep up and
had to be fired for various reasons. He even went as far as hiring his 16
yr old cousin for the sole reason in hopes I would flirt with her and hed
have a reason to fire me and make himself look good. That didnt work either
but he still played that card anyway when he fired me. I made that asshole
all that money… Asshat had a new car every month! Right when he fired me
he bought a 2014 loaded top trim and everything honda accord! Hes paying
for it now. He hired back some of his old employees (both of which are
screwing him sideways)… Such a stupid ass… I miss the money. wasnt
anything crazy but its better than what im making now (I hardly do anything
now which is the only reason, if I tried to start a computer repair
business of my own he would find a way to have it shutdown. His parents are
rich and are friends with various lawyers, judges, even the chief of
police! I averaged close to $400 a week by the time I was fired. (which
isnt shit I know) but now I make around $160 a week and can barely pay my
bills (car payment which he swindled me into when I was there, what he did
wasnt legal but nothing I can do about it). I want to make payback a bitch
by trying to work at another computer repair store (there are several in
the city, the one I was at got some pick of the year shit while I was there
and was all in the paper) and making that repair store mow his over. But
all hed have to do is snap his fingers and his parents would take care of
it and have it shutdown if its a small business. I was thinking of shooting
for something like officemax. Their current service is sorry as hell
(people came running to me when officemax would screw their machines up
worse). I could turn it around if givin the leeway. Best part is right next
to officemax sits a business he fucked over (got one of their good front
desk ladies to come work at our shop so he could have someone to basically
have an affair with). The guy is an animal. If I knew I wouldnt get sued id
shout the name of the place all over the internet… This is what the world
is coming too. Hope no one else ever has to work for someone like that…
One day a carefully plotted revenge will be put into motion. Although
technically karma is already biting his ass. Its not enough though. With
the hell he put me through and it still putting me through. He will be
forced to shutdown his business.
How come Best buy geek squad is always packed and staples is always getting
work? and they charge double or more then we do? I know people working for
them both they are very busy with yours and my prices we should be getting
their clients as we are cheaper. thanks for posting I enjoy your videos
Eli I agree with you the computer repair business cannot be totally dead
because people need some sort of repair for their computer for every single
computer owner.
you say 20 bucks for tune up do a ton of them at the same time and make
upwards of 100 bucks a day. i don't know if that is feasible were you live
but where i live that is the going rate and a nice profit. also pay you
employee's a percentage of each job it keeps prices down. that's what i do
but the goal is network retainers. so while it starts in computer repair
and grows from there.
I think you put a little too much focus on just the computer/pc repair
aspect of the technology business. If you get into onsite tech services
for small business the pricing is a lot better than if you deal with
personal computers.
Do I really need a A+ Cert if I already know the basics of computer parts
and knowing how to install drivers and remove malware, viruses, etc?
great video…U R a natural teacher…wish I could find someone like you to
teach me…can U tell us the best way to learn about the video surveilence
systems…? thnx….I so appreciate your videos & time…..
I tell you what m8….you are a breath of fresh air to me. Just found you
and I pish myself larfing with you, whilst simultaneously attempting to
comprehend your knowledgable repertoire. Bang on m8 keep it up
Great videos Eli, I'm glad I found you brother. You've been very helpful to
I use to rebuild older IBM laptops. The expensive ones. Buy like 20 of them
off ebay for like $20 and all they needed was a chip replacement because
they locked it and then sold it. Then it slowly went into screen
replacement, keyborads, hdd's to complete builds. I dropped it because it
was not paying anymore. Hard to comete with walmart and there $300 laptops
and charging $300 -$600 for a rebuilt one that origionally costed $2500.
People dont get it and dont care.
Hey eli do you still actually do computer repairs?
you actually paid for remote help desk software? What the hell's wrong with
oh men, not to mention that the dollar was strong back then!
I agree also there is money to be made in hmi repair, things that handle
inputs and outputs when they go down it begims to cost a company money
Hi thanks for your super cool video. I want to just say i own a few online
computer repair businesses and I have been at this for 8 years i had a few
workers like you too.. im 36 years old and this business has dropped like a
rock.. i still charge 99 for a full cleanup! but business is sooo slow! i
have 1,000s of customers they will pay it.. but new ones will not! I
started a seo business because of this mess.. I use bomgar the best remote
server money can buy! HELP LOL
Hey stick the orange shirt back on.. Also tons of people where i live would
kill to make 10-12 bucks an hour because of crap economy and those people
have bachelors. Makes a person sad.
Do you have any idea why I am able to use VPN from teamviewer without a
problem but I am not able to acces it with windows. I have a Server 2003
and verizon Westell 6100g nodem
Maybe i don't post so mush comments but i wash your videos avery day, thank
you so so mush, you are just a talented teacher you have a simply and easy
way to make people understand
i started alone as a pc repair shop from home as part time in 1998. I now
have 3 retail stores with repair capabilities in 3 locations and 1 massive
storage and shipping unit for the retail sold through our website. I
personally earned over 530k euro with taxes removed in 2011. You could say
it is dead, but if you only focus on computers you will lose. We do retails
of all sorts of tech aplliances and niches, even office supplies, pc
repair/maintence/customer training/ every cellphone repair etc
Hey, Eli… I'm in the business as well (number of years:5; prosperity
level: still delivering pizzas to pay the bills). REALLY enjoy your videos
and approach. Emphasizes the importance of paying attention to and
predicting market trends so one can adapt before the poo hits the fan.
Maintenance contracts are definitely a shoe-in at this point.
If he is going to speak to the public with videos, he should learn how to
not talk down to people as if they are stupid.
Hey! eli, could you please give me an advise on whether or not I should
charge a fee for diagnosis, or a way to convince people to have their
computers repaired rather than buying a new one? thanks!
There's cautionary tales for every business especially during a recession
(things will improve) You have to understand that the population is aging
and 9 out of 10 people don't know how to use the tech. Regardless of the
drop in price of computers, I still see line ups at the local computer
retailers who offer repair services. It's not all doom and gloom. So many
variables come into play like demographics, your marketing effectiveness,
etc. Don't let this dissuade you from going out on your own.
a 2013 version would be awesome
man the minimum wage for a lil techno grunt in america is really low. i
presume its not just techno grunts i mean that's just obvious but for
example the minimum hourly rate for a lil grunt in Australia is around
$20-$25 per hour and for someone with experience or a "senior" tech their
looking at about $30-$40 per hour. an amazing difference, profit margins
for shop owners here but be crap lol
Any advice on some websites that sale laptop screens battery's and parts to
start up my own shop
Thanks. Good advice
yup.. i have used them all and bomgar works the best..
If you actually "repair" computers there is plenty of work. I reball
graphic cards, repair mother boards, ect….Yeah if you are just a parts
changer and a virus remover, you are not going to stay very busy….
Thanks again for videos it's helped lots in training my Employees, here in
Texas, England, India. But sadly I want be open for business for another
month. But thanks again
I just started a repair business to make extra cash while I go to college
to learn more thing to make the real money so when I'm done with college I
will be going after server and general infrastructure work. the economy in
my knowledge is going towards small business and that computer guy who
fixes problems out of his house.
It's web design, networking, mobile app development etc is what's needed
now as the guy below says don't call your company kind computer repairs
Basic services are going to be more important than ever with what they are
producing these days. Theres no such thing as plug and play each and
everyday. Eventually your gonna have to do some service to your
system……..Especially the hard drives. And updated drivers etc etc.
This is the first video I've seen of his were he comes across like @ big
I was planing to comment on your 2010 video and say exactly what you say in
this video. in my shop I charge $49 for virus flat fee, combofix must fix
everything. $70 for windows re-install, $90 for powerjack motherboard. I
have customers who come twice a year for virus spyware cleaning and send
there frients,. I add now iphones screens. also I provide free checkup, but
if its some thing that it easy to fix I give the total cost of repair I
dont say what is the problem until he accept to fix it
I think it is the same this year as he states in this video not a whole lot
has changed 2013 will be a big change if you ask me though with windows 8
being able to refresh your system without losing any important data or even
needing a disc the wipe and reload part of the business will be dead on the
other hand many people will be confused with the new metro ui in win8 and
need assistance which you can charge for

Marvel has now confirmed that Drew Goddard (Lost, The Cabin in the Woods) will not only serve as the Executive Producer and Showrunner, but also write and direct the pilot episode of the new Netflix Daredevil series.They've committed to 13 episodes that should air on Netflix some time in 2015. Could all thirteen be put up all at once like Arrested Development, or will they premiere weekly? Since the whole thing is tied up to a huge crossover miniseries The Defenders, most likely we'll get it in weekly installments to help build an audience.
The other series Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage will join Daredevil on Netflix each with thirteen episode seasons. No word out yet on who will be in charge of those series, but you can expect Goddard to work closely with whoever takes on those individual series.
There's a lot of good stories and characters both heroes and villains out there for these series to tap into, not to mention all the supporting cast of characters like Foggy Nelson, Stick, Misty Knight, Colleen Wing, and others.
What do you think about this bit of news? Goddard certainly has the background to take on Daredevil and I've always thought that Daredevil would be perfect for the small screen. Just think about it. One of television's staple show themes is lawyers and the law. Throw in some night-time superhero action and you've got some great TV.

It was supposed to be a 12-minute procedure — anesthetized, wheeled into the operating room, surgery, and home that afternoon. Blood pressure 128/81. Perfect. Oxygen saturation, 96%. Very good. Heart rate 91. Not unusual pre-surgery. All systems go. IV attached and running smoothly. Kiss the wife goodbye, and I'm off.
The cold air and bright lights of an O.R. are always a bit of a surprise. But I was comforted by the familiar sight of a surgeon I knew and the anesthesiologist who had introduced himself minutes earlier. The machines beeped and booped as I drifted…away.
Suddenly, a bright light appeared in the distance! Vaguely I heard a voice saying, "Oh no!" but the light drew me ever nearer to its comforting glow.
And behold, as I advanced to the light, sights, sounds and more, came to me. All of my senses were alive! I felt the sensation of my first kiss.
Like Tom Jones, I felt the warm touch of the green green grass of home.
Yea verily, I advanced further into the light. It was then I saw visions of what was, and what could yet be. I was to learn about things I had only imagined. I was to imagine that which I did not know could be.
Suddenly a foreboding came over me. The air turned suddenly cold. I felt a clamminess the like of which I had never felt before. Something was amiss! Verily, verily, I say unto thee I beheld a dark image.
Before he could take shape the image spake unto me. "You have angered the Dark Lord with thy writings. Thou wilt pay for thy transgressions and feel the WRATH OF THE UNDEAD!"
Behold, the dark image appeared from the misty gloom. I recognized him for what he had perpetrated during his days on Earth. I knew, for the very first time, the true nature and true image of one who is damned for all eternity.
And behold, I was so afraid.
But suddenly there came over the Dark Lord's face a flicker. The flicker became a grimace. The grimace became a scowl. His hearing, far more acute than my own, had discerned a noise. When I heard the noise a feeling of profound relief washed over me.
And a voice came from the cloud, saying "Leave him be, Dark Lord! He is one of mine own! BEGONE! TO YOUR SHABBY DUNGEON!
I fell to my knees and cried "Holy Lord, what must I do to please you and land in your favor amongst the lilies of the field and the birds of the air?"
He said, with a voice most sweet and melodious. "Be thou the best member of my flock thou canst be. Buy the tickets from the ticket office. Fly to away games. Buy gear through the FishDuck.com site for the finest value. Continue to worship me in My house…
…but most of all, my son. Go Ducks!"
I awakened refreshed and with a renewed sense of purpose. I knew my place in the world. I knew the calling to which I was meant to follow. I was not dismayed the doctor had removed my spleen and replaced it with the spleen of a mountain goat when he was only supposed to perform cataract surgery. I had seen the light…and it was good indeed.

Indian Missing In Terrorism-Hit Brussels
NEW DELHI – An Infosys employee from Bengaluru has been missing in Brussels since yesterday's deadly terror attacks and the Indian Embassy in the Belgian capital was making efforts to locate him. The missing employee has been identified as Raghavendran Ganesh.
"We are doing our best to locate Ganesh," External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj tweeted. He hails from Bengaluru. "I have spoken to his mother and assured her that we will spare no effort to locate her son in Brussels," Swaraj tweeted. The mother said Ganesh had spoken to her some time before the explosions.
Two Jet Airways crew members were also injured in the explosions at Zaventem airport and Swaraj said they are recovering well. She said the government was coordinating with Jet Airways to evacuate Indian citizens. "The airport is still not open. This may take some time."

I have a small collection of toys, but they've been sitting untouched for probably a couple of years now. Men's sex toys have suffered from a depressing lack of design for many years; the tendency was to produce yet another lurid pink sleeve with disembodied genitals moulded on one end. Women's toys moved on from replica plastic dick with the now ubiquitous rabbit vibrator and it looks like men's toys may be finally following the same route on the evidence of the Autoblow 2. Okay the name is rather blunt but let's ignore that and look at the actual device.
The first thing that strikes you is that it's quite a meaty device in a rather fetching white and blue colour scheme. The business end is a chunk of pale flesh toned artificial skin material with a pair of lips moulded around the toy's entrance. This is the visible part of an internal sleeve which comes in one of three sizes, A (7.5-10cm girth), B (10-14cm girth) and C (14-16cm girth), so make sure you order the appropriate size. Also in the box is a two pin power supply and mine came with a three pin adapter which I'm assuming is standard if you order in the U.K., but don't quote me on that. A plug in toy means that you don't have to worry about batteries running out at inconvenient times but it does mean that you have to be within a few meters of a socket to use it. (Remember; electricity and water don't mix so don't even think about using this toy in the shower or bath!) With the mains powered motor I was a bit worried about noise levels, but was pleasantly surprised. It's not silent but is about the noise level of an electric toothbrush rather than a piece of industrial machinery.
Use is pretty obvious; get hard, apply (water based) lube, insert and switch on using the speed wheel on the bottom. Of course the real question is what does it feel like and the answer is really good. The sensations are pretty gentle, so this is much more of a slow burn than a get off quick toy but the climax when it comes is really intense. Personally I would have preferred it to be a bit tighter, but that is just personal choice. If your preference is the same then you might consider going a size down in sleeves. I'm at the top end of the B sleeve range but I'm looking at getting a size A sleeve to give the extra tightness.
In use, the Autoblow does all the hard work for you. Although it does bill itself as hands free I found that I had to hold it to get the correct angle for proper stimulation but you aren't going to get a sore wrist from using it. There's only one control which is an on/off and speed wheel on the base. This makes it very easy to stop and start or alter the speed. While this is good for everyone it does mean that if you're at all a fan of edging or orgasm control you will love this toy with an unholy passion!
One point to remember is that the Autoblow does take a while to do its so work, make sure that you set aside enough time and lube. You don't want to have to stop half way through by either running dry or diary pressures.
Once you're done, cleaning is easy. Take out the sleeve and wash it out with soapy water or a toy cleaner then dry it off. The makers recommend that you store the sleeve in a ziplock bag with a bit of corn flour. Do make sure it's properly dry before you put it away or you'll end up with a bag full of sticky corn flour goo.
Now the other big question; for something that bills itself as Autoblow, does it feel like getting a blowjob? Well, in all honesty, no. There's not enough tightness, you're lacking the warmth and wetness and there's no tongue in there. Don't get me wrong, it feels great, but what you basically have is a pair of bead covered rings stroking your penis and that's a very different to a mouth. If you're a blowjob obsessive and looking for something to replicate the sensation then you haven't found it here. What it does, and does very well, is provide a lot of long, slow, luxuriant pleasure. It's a very different sensation to anything I've tried before and mine is certainly not going to find itself relegated to the back of the toy box. In fact I'm not even sure if it'll make it as far as the toy box between uses! I would certainly recommend the Autoblow as an addition for anyone's collection.
The Autoblow 2 costs £129.99 and can be bought from from http://www.autoblow2.co.uk/
Update: I have received a size A sleeve from the people at Autoblow and the smaller sized sleeve makes this another toy entirely. My thinking was that a smaller sleeve would be tighter but this isn't the case. From the outside the sleeves look identical, however the smaller sleeve has thinner walls so it's actually a looser fit.
Sensation is not provided by the sleeve but by beaded rings. These are spring loaded, so the larger your girth the more tension you apply to the springs and so the more pressure the rings apply. The job of the sleeve is simply to put some padding between your penis and the rings. The smaller size sleeve with its thinner walls means that the sensation from the rings is much more intense. In fact let's make that MUCH more intense! Using the smaller sleeve produces a much more rapid climax, though one that lacks the teasing slow burn of the standard size sleeve. This is exacerbated by the fact that when using the smaller sized sleeve the motor stutters at slow speeds and you have to ramp up the speed to get it to work properly.
The smaller sleeve doesn't make the Autoblow a better toy, just a different one. I'm not sure which sleeve will get more use but they will both get regular outings, depending upon my mood at the time.
So, should you go for the recommended size or the next size down? Well that all depends on what you like. If you want a slow burn that lasts and provides finer control over the sensations then go for the recommended size, but if you like more intense stimulation and then go for the size down. Of course there's no real need to choose; as the sleeves are available separately you could get one of each and switch between them. This is certainly the approach I would recommend if you like variety and you're getting effectively two toys for not much more than the price of one.
Sleeves for the Autoblow 2 are priced at £27.95 and available from the Autoblow site as above.
As an aside, I'm sure some of you out there are thinking well why not dispense with the sleeve and get direct stimulation from the rings. I can not emphasise enough what a terrible idea this would be! The rings are both powered and are mainly naked metal and spring. Just the thought of the sort of damage they could do if used directly is enough to make me wince and cross my legs.

Today I've launched my professional services as an Executive/Legal Administraion Contractor and I'm so excited!
Working for myself and on my own after 25 years in the Legal Administration field, has long been a desire of my heart. I am blessed to have had the opportunity to work with fantastic people in some of the world's largest and leading law firms, and for that, I am truly grateful to God. These experiences have forged more than professional relationships with others, but more importantly, lasting friendships. Moreover, my soft- and hard-skills have developed exponentially increasing my passion for the administrative field. In fact, the wealth of my educational and professional experience background has catapulted me to become one of the greatest Administrative Leaders in corporate America today!
My goal as an Admin Leadership Contractor not only includes providing administration assistance to indidividual professionals or corporate entities, but also motivational mentoring to secretaries/administrators presently working in the field today. I want to share with my peers the skills and techniques that helped me rise (and survive) successfully in the challeging, yet rewarding, legal administration field as well as help them do the same.
I'm looking forward to serving the Washington, DC metropolitan area's leading professionals and corporate entities beginning now!
Professionally Yours,
Darnella Moore

So despite the fame, Morgan Surlock remains one of the coolest people you'll ever have the fortune of knowing about. Not only because of the fact that he put McDonalds in the precarious position of being responsible for the high fat foods that it sells to the billions of people across the world, but because he feels that it's important that people understand that life exists outside of the sheltered view that todays media will have you believe is comfortable and true. For a guy that's been nominated for academy awards, and given the praise of having the insight that the advertising monoliths will try and make you forget about, Morgan remains unbiased and true to his belief that mankind has a better future if understands that we actually have a choice. I know that he hosts a show that lives beyond what you've come to know him as on the Fox FX channel, but the reality is that he truly wants a better world that not easy and to fight for what people believe is not fair and in the hands of those that make it to not be so.
So without trying to be preachers to my audience, I encourage you to watch his movies and TV show on Fox FX and make your decision for yourself. Because if you have other people telling you what to believe, you might as well be forgotten as it is.

shuttle is retired in 2011.
the company waits to see if the cone-shaped space ship can survive the fiery
re-entry back to Earth. Up to this point only five countries and one intergovernmental
agency have been able to launch a spacecraft and have it successfully re-enter
the Earth's atmosphere: the U.S., Russia, China, Japan, India and the European
Space Agency.

Alex Rodriguez is off to a decent start this year for the Yankees and recently connected on his 655th career home run recently. He's now 5 home runs shy of tying Willie Mays for 4th all-time.
Ironically, Mays is the Godfather of Barry Bonds: someone else with questionable home run merits based on alleged usage of performance enhancers. On the brink of A-Rod eclipsing Mays, Bonds says he'll cheer for Alex.
"My godfather means the world to me. I love him to a T," Bonds told USA TODAY Sports in an hour-long telephone interview, "but when Alex hits No. 660, I'll be happy for him. Willie will be happy for him. Everybody should be happy for him.
"Any time anybody in the game does something that's a great accomplishment, the game of baseball should celebrate that.
"No matter what. Baseball is benefiting from that person's hard work, so baseball should at least celebrate."

My kids LOVE coming here! The teachers and staff are excellent, my kids are learning so much and having tons of fun. Highly, highly recommend Couts to everyone.
They have welcomed my high functioning autistic boys with open arms and they are doing very well in the school's small classes and loving environment.
In just a month of my child attending Couts, my husband and I saw immediate improvement in her self confidence and academics. It was that point in our life, that we realized private school and Couts is the way to go for our child! We just regret, that we didn't make the decision to move her to this private school sooner. Her education is our investment for her future...We know we made the right decision placing our child in the hands of this academy. We recommend many other parents do the same.

is a Maine (and, ok, Mass) term. But mostly Maine. If you've not heard the term before, just translate "wicked" as "very, truly, alot." Grammatically, wicked is mostly an adjective (wicked good, wicked hot, wicked cold, a wicked hot mess, etc.) but sometimes is an exclamation (OMG, wicked!).
In a nutshell, my weekend was wicked good. It was great fun, but also I came to a bunch of revelations, in a Things That Make You Go Hmmm sorta way.
First up, I needed to get up to Portland Thursday night so I could take care of my niece on Friday. The oldest of my brother's 3 girls, my niece is 8 and has Down Syndrome. Unfortunately, as she gets older, my brother and SIL are having more and more difficulty finding programs willing to mainstream her, and when my Thing 2 got her pool job, that left my niece without care on Friday, so I jumped into help. (BTW, I am not counting this as one of my 47 things because it was my Thing 2's fault that my brother and SIL were stuck).
Sal and I had a great Friday. A picnic at the playground:
Then some acrobatics on the monkey bars:
This day with Sal was wicked good. And it also made me realize how easy I have it–when I want my Things to participate in a summer program, I just sign them up. The hoops my SIL has to jump through for Sal are mind-boggling. And hearing more "nos" than "yeses" is heart-breaking. Revelation 1: I've got it good.
Saturday my friends (yes, I traveled to Maine with 3 friends) started our day at Becky's (wicked good blueberry pancakes)
and we picked up our packets (wicked good number here):
and then made our way to the Allegash brewery for a tasting and tour. Impossible to leave without buying souvenir (for the Mister):
(wicked tasty House Ale–a bit hoppy, which I like, and crafty at the same time, with the wood crate!)
Lobstah for dinner (and yes, we did protect our food from the gulls)
And then a visit to a beer garden where there were over 200 varieties of beer. Wicked tough decisions!
After all this fun, I was exhausted (wicked). These friends are a good deal younger than I (15 years) so it was hard to keep up. Also, we're at different stages of our lives. While we all enjoy running, have good senses of humor and see eye to eye politically, the fact of the matter is that they're still single and I've got four other people I'm responsible for. And having a complete day to myself–well, I felt a little (not wicked, just a little) guilty. Revelation 2: I've got it good.
After all this, it was almost hard to get psyched up for the race on Sunday. But Sunday came, and with it the race and all the excitement, and…anxiety. Yes, I said it–anxiety. I was really nervous about this race–it had been such a disaster for me in 2012. (ok, so that's somewhat of a hyperbole)
A year ago I ran the Old Port Half in a so-so time of 2:20:37. Although it was a PB (at the time), I was not happy with my performance. Without corals to rein me in (it was only my 2nd HM), I started out too fast, faded and as a result, injured my hip, an injury that still niggles me a year later. I did not enjoy myself. I was miserable. The race was miserable. The back cover (a 3.5 miles enormous loop) was morally debilitating and I just wanted to walk off the course. But I didn't. And I've spent the past year beating myself up about it. (again, hyperbole, but it does come back to haunt me every now and then)
Flash forward to 2013. The weather? While it had been beautiful Friday and Saturday (mid to high 70s, no humidity), Sunday morning was wicked HOT. And HUMID. Not as much of a pea soup bath that Jersey has been, but humid enough. Temps at the starting line were 82F. I approached this race without any time goals, aiming this time around for a solid run and a strong finish.
The route was in full sun (with a short shady bit between mile 1 and 2), with some killer hills–notably the Western Promenade trail and Munjoy Hill. I started out slowly (lots of bottlenecks helped), and then by mile 2, the first of the hills appeared. And I completely surprised myself by making it up without walking! Short steps, strong arms, eyes 20 ft. ahead and 10 steps at the top. It works! At that point, I decided my goal would be to run up each of the hills. No matter what else I did.
Well, what goes up must come down, and these steep uphills and wicked steep downhills, too. These were hard! When I did my hill repeats, I would either walk or slowly jog back down the hill–I've never practiced running down such steep hills. Lemme tell you–running downhill (in a controlled, strategic way) is wicked hard.
After the hills at the front end, there were a few more on the back end–mile 7 was Munjoy Hill:
(it's wicked hard shooting a hill). This was another toughie, but the view at the top? Breathtaking:
The downhill from Munjoy Hill led to the dreaded Back Cove. I was hoping for some shade here, but no luck. As I had a 3.5 slow miles to think about it, I realized that as a tidal basin, the soil probably wasn't really tree-friendly (to be filed under "bizarre things you think about while running"). I walked a fair amount of the Back Cove. The water stops along the route had run out of cups, but there were public fountains, and accordingly, lines. Again, given the heat (over 85F by this point), I was more concerned with
not collapsing staying hydrated.
Once finished with the Back Cove, it was a short 2 miles back to the finish line. I ran most of this, but when my app beeped that I had run the 13 miles (in sync with the mile markers) and the finish line was still far, far away, I nearly cried! (for some reason, i got another .3 miles in before the finish line.)
My friend snapped this "near by" the finish line photo. Wicked nice grimace, but at least I'm not shuffling.
So, a year later, coming off an injury, I finished this same race (albeit a different, hillier course) with an official time of 2:34:31. It is my slowest finish time ever. But I am so much happier with my run. Yeah, I wish I had been faster, but with hot temps, absolutely no shade on the course, and a much, much hillier route, I'm ok with my time. Is there room for improvement? Absolutely. Given the heat, humidity and lack of shade, I spent a lot of time walking, and in retrospect, I think I could have (should have, would have?) powered through some of the walking stretches, but I didn't. I'm ok with that because I finished in one piece (lots of folks were carted off to the ER) and this morning I woke up thinking I could actually go out and run. Not bad after a wicked long HM and 7 hour drive home.
Now a day later I'm left wondering why, with such a mediocre time, I'm not more upset. And all I can come up with is that I'm where I'm supposed to be. I didn't race this race for time. I ran it to enjoy it and to redeem myself (a little). I'm competitive enough that I wanted to do well, and given the circumstances, I think I did. I definitely came away with some things I'd like to work on, but at the same time, I'm wicked pleased with how I started off at an easy pace, killed the early HUGE hills, and didn't let the Back Cove get the best of me. Revelation #3: I've got it good.
Wicked good.

Jean-Paul Sartre's surprising biographies of Tintoretto, Calder, Giacometti, Baudelaire, Gide, Camus, and Genet mirror his own autobiography, The Words. The structures of these still-life portraits express Sartre's primary philosophical preoccupations: bad faith and the flight from time, radical freedom and the sense of one's own emptiness, and embodiment and identification with the look of the Other. Although these biographies are told as narratives of choice and creativity, the formative agents in these lives are Time and Chance.

In its
truest meaning, home care refers to any type of care
(medical or non-medical) that is provided for the client in
their home. In recent years, however, there has been a
slight shift in terminology. While home care can be used to
describe both medical and non-medical care, typically "home
care" refers to non-medical care such as
companionship/homemaking services and personal care
services, while "home healthcare" refers to the provision of
skilled nursing care and other care such as speech, physical
or occupational therapy.
Premier Home Care 24/7 provides companionship services such as meal
preparation, laundry, light housekeeping, grocery
shopping/errands, incidental transportation, medication
reminders, grooming, live-in service and respite care. We
also provide personal care services such as bathing,
grooming, and hygiene, mobility assistance, transferring and
positioning, toileting and incontinence and feeding/special
diet assistance.
caregiver is an employee who is carefully screened and
trained before caring for a client. Each must undergo a
rigorous process including national and local criminal
background checks, DMV, and personal and professional
reference checks. All
Premier Home Care 24/7 caregivers are bonded, insured, and
covered by Workers' Compensation insurance for our clients'
peace-of-mind. We strive to hire the very best caregivers to
become a Premier Home Care 24/7
caregiver, because we only hire people we would want
caring for a member of our own family.
Our Premier Home Care 24/7 office is independently owned and operated. We
encourage you to contact your local office directly for a
complete list of products and services. Our fee is based on
the level of care which is provided to meet client's needs.
Services are available for as little as a few hours a visit
up to 24 hours, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Premier Home Care 24/7 can provide companionship or personal
care to residents at assisted living communities and nursing
homes who may desire additional attention or personalized
During the
initial conversation and the in-home visit, the Client Care
Coordinator will document the services required and the
client's preferences for a caregiver match. Then, the
Client Care Coordinator selects the best caregiver fit for
the client and will arrange an introduction between the
client, caregivers, and Coordinator to introduce each member
of this new team. During that meeting, all of the involved
parties review the Plan of Care to ensure that everyone
agrees and understands what services are to be provided.
Premier Home
Care 24/7 office employs a team of caregivers so that your
care service will not be interrupted if someone gets sick or
goes on vacation. If your
caregiver is unavailable, the Client Care Coordinator
will arrange another caregiver and will contact you in
advance of the change. The Client Care Coordinator will
also introduce the interim caregiver to you and review your
Plan of Care with the interim caregiver prior to service.
Our goal is to ensure that services are provided as
expected. Your safety and security are a top priority.
of Daily Living (ADLs) include the basic tasks essential for
day-to-day functioning, such as bathing, dressing, grooming,
eating, mobility and toileting. Many seniors who require
help with such activities are largely independent, but may
require help with one or two ADLs. In some cases,
intermittent help from a family member or friend may be all
that is needed. However, in many cases, particularly when
family or friends are unavailable and the importance of
scheduling these activities is critical, informal care
arrangements may not be adequate.
Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) are considered those
activities which are less basic than the traditional ADLs.
IADLs, nevertheless, are important in enhancing a client's
quality of life. IADLs include such activities as shopping,
paying bills, cleaning, doing the laundry and meal
preparation. Many seniors require assistance with IADLs
rather than ADLs. Some seniors want someone to escort them
when they are shopping and help them avoid situations that
might cause them to fall. Other seniors may welcome
assistance with their bill paying and medical appointments.
Premier Home Care 24/7 offers an array of companionship and
homemaking services to assist our clients with the IADLs.
Please contact the Premier Home Care 24/7 at 865.212.3585 for more information.

Dreaming Anastasia by Joy Preble
Author website.
Anastasia Romanov thought she would never feel more alone than when the gunfire started and her family began to fall around her. Surely the bullets would come for her next. But they didn't. Instead, two gnarled old hands reached for her. When she wakes up she discovers that she is in the ancient hut of the witch Baba Yaga, and that some things are worse than being dead.
In modern-day Chicago, Anne doesn't know much about Russian history. She is more concerned about getting into a good college--until the dreams start. She is somewhere else. She is someone else. And she is sharing a small room with a very old woman. The vivid dreams startle her, but not until a handsome stranger offers to explain them does she realize her life is going to change forever. She is the only one who can save Anastasia. But, Anastasia is having her own dreams... (goodreads.com)
I got to just about under halfway before I put DREAMING ANASTASIA down. I couldn't invest myself in it. It's not that the writing was bad or it wasn't interesting. I just felt it was a bit . . . ridiculous.
As if I haven't read absolutely ridiculous books in my day. Or currently. The majority of what I read is inherently ridiculous. But I just wasn't feeling DREAMING ANASTASIA. I don't think it's anything I can specifically put my finger on. I don't believe my move had an influence because I was reading other books just fine. So can't chalk it up to not being able to invest myself in the story. I just felt all of the little pieces that knit the story together were one contrivance after another. From Anne being a descendant of this brotherhood explaining her dreams and weird powers that randomly manifest when the shit hits the fan to the shit itself embedding itself in the fan blades I wasn't buying it from the beginning. It felt more like a finely fit cluster of puzzle pieces than something organic that grew into its own story. That every piece of the DREAMING ANASTASIA story was meticulously crafted and set in place, as if strategizing a chess game where the mover of the piece is the one in control as opposed to the piece itself. I felt led along and each element in the story was displayed to me as if I were at a museum exhibit.
It's not inherently a bad thing. Like I said, there was nothing wrong with the writing. I liked the dialogue between all of the characters. That in and of itself felt genuine. It was absolutely action-packed right from the beginning and the Romanov history was definitely an interesting aspect of it all. I just wasn't connecting with it.

During this morning's church service, a song was sung with the words "bow down". I don't know the name of the song, I somewhat recognized it but can't recite any other lyrics as I wasn't listening past the first time I heard "bow down". The words hit me like a ton of bricks.
When was the last time I bowed down to God? I mean truly bowed down. When my prayer wasn't routine, wasn't for my benefit, wasn't while driving in my car because that is the only time during my busy day that I have for God is while I am distracted with a major responsibility. When I find myself praying in this way, I have to remember praying while driving is wonderful and I do it quite often but if this is the only time I have to do it, then my priorities are off. My Savior shouldn't get slid in wherever possible, He should be top priority and first!
When was the last time I got on my knees because I was that humbled; with my head down because I didn't want anything distracting me, no sight and no sound. Protecting my time with God, protecting it from things of this world that will never match up to His importance.
When I was single and lived alone, I would come home from work and drop everything to plant myself on the living room floor and spend time in prayer, bowing down. There would be no distractions, no television in the background, no radio softly playing, just me talking to God and worshiping Him. My bible may be sitting in front of me and maybe not but I would be bowing down. This needs to be a regular routine, not a rut as some routines can be but a regular part of my everyday life; intentional, humbling, fresh, alive and sincere.
Psalms 95:6 Come, let us bow down in worship, let us keel before the Lord our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care.

European Jewish Congress president calls for apology from British newspaper for a particularly offensive caricature drawn of Israel's PM Netanyahu published on Int'l Holocaust Day
European Jewish Congress President Dr. Moshe Kantor has called for an apology from the Sunday Times, which published a cartoon on International Holocaust Remembrance Day of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu building a wall on the bodies of Palestinians, depicting their blood as cement.
The cartoon, drawn by Gerald Scarfe, includes a caption stating: "Israeli elections – will cementing peace continue?"
"This cartoon would be offensive at any time of the year, but to publish it on International Holocaust Remembrance Day is sickening and expresses a deeply troubling mindset," Dr. Kantor said. "This insensitivity demands an immediate apology from both the cartoonist and the paper's editors.
"Amazingly, as this cartoon was published days after the only democracy in the Middle East, Israel, underwent fully democratic elections, as others in the Middle East were being butchered by the tens of thousands, the Sunday Times focuses its imagination solely on the Jewish state.
"This contravenes many of the criteria laid out in EUMC's Working Definition of Anti-Semitism and is part of a worrying trend to legitimize the growing assault on Israel by opinion-shapers," Kantor concluded.
Commenting on the cartoon at the request of Germany newspaper the Algemeiner, the Sunday Times said: "This is a typically robust cartoon by Gerald Scarfe. The Sunday Times firmly believes that it is not anti-Semitic It is aimed squarely at Mr. Netanyahu and his policies, not at Israel, let alone at Jewish people."
As for the timing of the publication, the paper said the cartoon "appears today because Mr. Netanyahu won the Israeli election last week. The Sunday Times condemns anti-Semitism, as is clear in the excellent article in today's magazine which exposes the Holocaust-denying tours of concentration camps organised by David Irving."

Kraft's Unilever Bid Could Cause Problems for Theresa May – Bloomberg
U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May couldn't have known when she criticized Kraft Heinz Co. last July, that the U.S. conglomerate would deliver one of the first — and biggest — tests of her industrial strategy.
While Kraft's $143 billion offer for Unilever was spurned, sterling's tumble since Britain voted to quit the European Union has made U.K. companies particularly tantalizing to overseas buyers. That is a problem for May, who promised in July to "give people more control of their lives" after voters bought the Brexit's campaign's pledge to "take back control."
May singled out Kraft's 2010 takeover of Cadbury Plc as an example of a deal that should have been blocked when she launched her leadership bid seven months ago. After the Americans bought the iconic British chocolate company, they reneged on a promise to keep a local plant open.
Unilever employs about 7,500 people in the U.K. and estimates its products are in 98 percent of the country's households: Britons sip PG Tips tea while eating toast spread with Marmite. Teenagers munch Pot Noodles before applying Lynx deodorant or Brut after-shave in bathrooms cleaned with Domestos or Cif. It is a company where, in May's words, "the whole country has a stake."
Low-Hanging Fruit?
Vince Cable, who was Business Secretary in the coalition government alongside May until 2015, argued that the prime minister must make her opposition clear.
"This is an obvious case of a company being undervalued because of sterling's devaluation since the Brexit referendum," he said in a telephone interview. "Unilever is a very good company. There's no question of under-performance or needing new management. The question is, what is the government going to do? They're pulled hither and thither with Brexit stuff, but this is a very big test of her credibility."
May's office, contacted about its reaction to Kraft's advances, declined to comment as did the government's department of business.
Since the Brexit vote, bids for U.K. companies from overseas buyers are 26 percent higher than for the corresponding period in the previous year in value, according to Bloomberg data, including the Unilever approach. The largest bids before were 21st Century Fox's 11.7 billion-pound ($14.5 billion) bid for Sky Plc and SoftBank Group Corp.'s acquisition of Britain's ARM Holdings Plc for $32 billion.
"Sterling's slump has left us in greater danger of losing control of some of Britain's best and biggest companies to distant multinational ownership," said the opposition Labour Party's former business spokesman, Chuka Umunna, in an e-mailed statement.
Rebuff Tools
Cable said that while May has few tools to actually prevent a takeover, she can make one difficult. He tried this out in 2014 when Pfizer Inc bid for AstraZeneca Plc. "We didn't have the legislative powers to block it," he said. "We made use of the enhanced powers of the Takeover Panel. That gives you some kind of handle to set conditions."
Those stipulations from government, combined with shareholder and management resistance, were enough to drive Pfizer away. "We shall find out if Kraft is made of sterner stuff," Cable said.
When May spoke about Kraft last year, she was clear that takeovers should be judged on whether they benefited staff and customers as well as investors.
"Transient shareholders — who are mostly companies investing other people's money — are not the only people with an interest when firms are sold or close," she said.
Referring to AstraZeneca, she went on: "A proper industrial strategy wouldn't automatically stop the sale of British firms to foreign ones, but it should be capable of stepping in to defend a sector that is as important as pharmaceuticals is to Britain."
Unilever's long history tracks the highs and lows of British manufacturing. Its corporate roots date back to Victorian England, when the industrial revolution took off, with William Hesketh Lever jotting down his ideas for a soap.
Today it has about nine factories in England, many in pockets of high unemployment and low economic growth where blue-collar workers are facing a shrinking job market. In at least five factory locations — from Warrington, Cheshire to Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire — voters went for Brexit in June's referendum.
Those are the voters that May has pledged to defend. And if Kraft offers the first test, it won't be the last.

The construction of the ship has been carried out respecting its forms and details with historical rigor, applying an innovative and revolutionary system in the shipbuilding sector of historical replicas of these characteristics, which combines the construction in fiberglass and its lining of wood.
It is a novel technique that represents a huge advance in terms of environmental impact, costs, durability and maintenance of the ship. The work has lasted approximately 12 months, and the launching is scheduled for the beginning of March 2017
Built in the Punta Umbría shipyards, it employs about one hundred professionals of different profiles: workers from the Puntaumbrieño shipyard, craftsmen, carpenters or rope makers, mechanics or electricians, forming a large multidisciplinary team of work, together with historians, engineers and builders, who are involved in the planning of the first plans of the replica designing the forms and measurements of the ship.
The Nao Santa María weighs around 200 tons. Like the original, the replica will incorporate three masts and a bowsprit, the largest being the one that reaches 25 meters high from the waterline of the vessel to the knob or higher part.
For the construction, around 45 cubic meters of iroko wood have been needed. A tropical wood with great durability and resistance to weathering and the different climatic and meteorological agents.
Length: 28.30 m. / Maximum beam: 7.96 m. / Strut: 3.49 m. / Decks: Main deck, Fore Castle, Awning and Quarter deck / Masts: Major, Mizzen, Ratchet and Bowsprit/ Sails: Major, Topsail, Mizzen, Sprit sail and Ratchet.
It will host 300 square meters of sail, with maneuvering of sails and rigging faithful to the nao Santa María of the fifteenth century, with more than 3 kilometers of ropes for firm rigging and labor.

Your commute is a huge opportunity to start working remotely! Here are 11 ways to get started as a Digital Nomad while still having a full-time job.
AI & Smart Homes are for the Least Tech Savvy
The early adapters for AI and Smart Home technologies will largely be people who currently lack more accessible tools to achieve their goals. New laws are coming in for UI design standards to have improved accessibility features for the remaining ~20% that face barriers to using technologies as they are today. How might we create VUI, chatbots, and other styles of interfaces for elderly and differently abled early adapters?
When Tech Meetings Turn Out to be Dates
Let's set the scene: You've just attended the "hottest" tech talk on Artificial Intelligence, and a lot of intriguing new ideas are flowing through the audience. They've lined up to indulge the speakers, and everyone else is mingling enthusiastically.
Scanning the crowd, everyone is matched up, flapping their business cards and pulling up responsive portfolios and LinkedIn apps, like quickdraw. You lock eyes with someone across the room, and conversation ensues. It's great, they have a new project they're struggling on a certain area for, and it turns out you know that area really well. Cards flap, websites flow, LinkedIns link. You arrange to meet for a beer and discuss it further.
The day arrives, and you're armed with a bit more research. Approaching the pub, you shoot them a message, "How can I spot you?" A reply comes through, "I'll be the handsome guy sitting at the bar." You stop at the door.
Is that something you waive off? Walk in and give them a chance to redeem their stupid joke? Their confidence is positive. They're probably nervous. It can be politely clarified in the conversation. It hangs in the air, you have trouble keeping the conversation on track, and you walk away wiser.
"How might we prevent that?" In my case, I bought a fake wedding band. Where have you drawn a line to make professional distinctions?
We're Asking Too Much of Developers
Recently I was looking at postings for UX/UI Design roles, and I noticed a pattern. So many of the ads were asking for these designers to have the coding knowledge to build their prototypes. Traditionally, UX/UI Designers are not trained in coding, so those roles would be somewhat hybridized. "Looks like what you're asking for is a Front-End Developer," I thought out loud. It made me realize - We demand too much of Developers!
UX/UI Design is a supportive role to help take some of the load off of Developers, who already use creative ideation for problem-solving practical website aspects. Many will attest to their frustration of an interrupted workflow to have to stop and invent something that was omitted from the blueprint.
Imagine this: UX/UI Designers and Developers, are like Architects and Engineers. The architect focuses more on the artistry and design of the building, while the engineer focuses more on the technical and structural side. In a highly cohesive team, these roles work in tandem, bouncing material back and forth to iterate on the best solutions. They understand and contrast each other's skillsets enough to validate key concepts and coordinate more effectively.
So how might we support Developers to be able to delegate their massive workload? To hone in and advance their expertise further? How might we support their healthier work/life balance and reduce burnout? Include UX/UI Designers as part of a healthy digital product team to support the success of developers and of the company overall.

The Glamourous Life
I've been traveling on business since I started my career in association management -- twenty-four years now. In fact, my first flight on an airplane was the first time I traveled on business. It was Atlanta, if memory serves. The purpose of the trip? That was long ago lost in the fog.
My most recent trip was to Nashville. I found out I needed to go there about two weeks ahead of the travel date. There was an hour-long meeting in a hotel there that I needed to be at. Getting back and forth between Milwaukee and Nashville on the same day was a challenge given the meeting time and flight schedules, so I booked it as an overnight. Fly down, attend the meeting, work out of the hotel room, grab dinner, get some sleep, fly back. Thay was my plan. I've done it a dozen or more times before.
Then I found out that a friend of mine was going to be in Nashville over the same dates for an entirely different reason. We thought that was great. I had a free night, and he might be able to break away from the event he was attending. We'd get dinner. Find a honkey tonk. Sample the local brews.
It didn't work out that way. Through a stream of texts we figured out that he couldn't break away from his commitments as easily as he thought. He was there on business. There were functions he had to be present at. I understood. I've been in his position more times than I can count.
Here's the thing. Being alone in another city is not a strange experience for me. But being alone in another city, knowing that a friend from my hometown was six blocks away; that was a strange experience. The displacement felt more surreal than normal.
Even with all my experience, there's part of me that still marvels at the idea that I so frequently wake up in one city and go to sleep in another. One morning I'm having a room service breakfast and that evening I'm having a home cooked dinner with my family. And the most remarkable thing is how normal it all seems. It's not anything to crow about. It's just the way our crazy world works.
I know people who don't travel much who frequently comment on how glamourous my life must be, always jetting off to another destination, staying in all these fancy hotels. But the reality is that it's not glamourous at all. Some of the perks and places are certainly nice, but the whole adventure isn't glamourous. It's normal. It's expected. It's just the way the work gets done.

Capital Punishment Returns
Main body
Lifting the death penalty moratorium imposed in 1972 by its decision in Furman v. Georgia, the U.S. Supreme Court held in the 1976 case of Gregg v. Georgia that capital punishment was not inherently "cruel and unusual." The Court upheld Georgia's new guidelines and procedures in capital punishment cases, which became a model for other states.

Computability in Europe 2006
Logical Approaches to Computational Barriers
Special Session Talk:
|Matthias Schroeder
Computable Analysis investigates computability on real numbers and related spaces. One approach to Computable Analysis is Type Two Theory of Effectivity (TTE). TTE provides a computational framework for non-discrete spaces with cardinality of the continuum. Its basic tool are representations. A representation equips the objects of a given space with ``names'', which are infinite words. Computations are performed on these names. We discuss the property of admissibility as a well-behavedness criterion for representations. Moreover we investigate and characterise the class of spaces which have such an admissible representation. This category turns out to have a remarkably rich structure.
