The Randles have been running Randle Farms just outside of Auburn, Alabama, since 1975. Frank Randle first planted blueberries before growing to what son Franklin now calls a "predominately diversified farm" and one of the South's few farms rearing sheep and lambs.The farm is has also been providing lamb to the southeastern Muslim community for over 30 years, and today they even have a small and simple facility on site for patrons who adhere to halal and other traditional butchering.These days Frank has passed on the leadership role to his two sons Franklin, who is the shepherd of the farm's flock of sheep and lambs, and Zachary, who spends his days growing and tending the farm's produce. This short documentary film explores the farm, the Randle family, and the role of farming in bridging cultural divides in the Southeast.

What are path and contour integrals?
I am very confused on what path and contour integrals actually represent.
I tried looking for an answer on Google but the only examples were related to Quantum Mechanics.
For instance, real Riemann integrals can be thought as "the area under the curve". What about path/contour integrals?
Also, is there a difference between path and contour integrals, or are they the same thing? I've been thinking of contour integrals as path integrals where the path is a "closed loop", but I'm not sure if that's the case.
It's all so confusing, and not being able to visualise these concepts makes it feel like I'm just memorising formulas and theorems without any reason.
I have been thinking about path integrals as integrating over a curve in three dimensions. For example, in an $xyz$ coordinate system (with $y$ pointing "up"), we have a path on the $x$-"$z$" plane and integrate over that path. That is, instead of integrating over and along "$y=0$", we integrate over a certain path. But I don't know if this is a correct way to think of path integrals.
This issue has been frustrating me a lot because I'm now studying theorems that involve path/contour integrals and I just can't understand what they really do or mean.
By path integral I mean $$\int_{\gamma\vert_{[a,b]}}f(z)\hspace{0.2em}dz = \int_{a}^{b}f(\gamma(t))\cdot\gamma'(t)\hspace{0.2em}dt$$ where $f:U\subseteq\mathbb{C}\rightarrow\mathbb{C}$ is a function that satisfies all conditions for complex integration and $\gamma:[a,b]\rightarrow U\subseteq\mathbb{C}$ is at least a piece-wise regular path.
integration complex-analysis contour-integration complex-integration
$\begingroup$ The way you're thinking about path integrals is how I think about them, and it works for me. I don't know much about contour integrals though. $\endgroup$
– Varun Vejalla
$\begingroup$ I can't think of any particular nice intuitive explanation of what contour integration represents, but you can see the formula is almost the same as the line integral formula, which does have a nice interpretation: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contour_integration $\endgroup$
– Riemann'sPointyNose
$\begingroup$ Broadly speaking, a line integral can be thought of as "the area under the fence built along this path with height given by the function $f$". This is clearer in the real case --- the notion of complex "areas" is perhaps a bit confusing, but I think of that as a separate thing. $\endgroup$
– davidlowryduda ♦
$\begingroup$ 'real Riemann integrals can be thought as "the area under the curve"' It can, but it shouldn't. Because then you get stuck when generalising, just like you are now. Integration is the art of adding together very many, very small things. Some times that's the areas of very many, very narrow rectangles, but there are a plethora of other contexts where you can add small things. $\endgroup$
– Arthur
$\begingroup$ "Contour integral" is a name for the integral along a path in the complex plane. $\endgroup$
Integrals are colloquially known as the area under a curve, and contour integrals are no different! But for contour integrals there are now two "curves": 1) the integrand as seen moving along a contour, and 2) the contour.
An ideal scenario
Let's consider the total amount of money you earned from the time you were born to when you turned 16, and then the total amount of money you will earn from the time you turned 16 and the time you retire.
Since your parents were desperately trying to teach you something about money, they gave you money on occasion from age 0 to age 16 for basically sitting around playing video games. Let $f(t)$ be the rate at which they gave you money. This rate changed with time. E.g. the tooth fairy was stingy when you first started losing teeth and became more generous the older you got. Then you started getting a regular allowance and by the time you were 16 you were making bank for just sitting around! The total amount you earned from 0 to 16 is given by the integral,
$$\$ = \int_0^{16} f(t) \, dt$$
Then you got your first job, and your life got complicated....
You've now entered a phase of life where you don't get paid to sit around. You have to navigate a complex plane, where you will have to look for work to earn money. Now the rate at which you can earn money, $f(z)$, depends on where you work, $z$. The path you take in life, $\gamma(t)$, and how quickly you move, $\gamma^\prime(t)$, now matters too! Since $f$ changed from being time-dependent to location-dependent, the total amount of money you will earn from 16 to retirement is given by a contour integral, $$\$\$\$ = \int_{16}^{\text{retirement}} f(\gamma(t)) \gamma^\prime (t) \, dt$$
An imperfect model for life, I know, but also a funny mnemonic device for remembering the form of the contour integral.
Meaning of line- path- and contour integrals
A curve-, line-, path- or contour integral extends the usual definition of an integral to the integration in the complex plane or in a multidimensional space. The term contour integral is typically reserved for line integrals in the complex plane but does not imply integration over a closed contour.
Also note that "Path integral" is a homonym, which on one hand describes integration along a curve and on the other hand is a description in quantum mechanics that generalizes the action principle of classical mechanics.
Thinking about and defining line integrals
Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a smove curve in the complex plane and let $f\colon\mathbb{C}\to\mathbb{C}$ be a continuous function. We now subdivide the interval $[a,b]$ into $a=t_0<t_1<t_2<\dots<t_n=b$. So we are left with $n$ intervals of length $\Delta t = (b − a)/n$.
From the figure we can easily see that the displacement between two points on $\mathcal{C}$ is $\gamma(t_{k})-\gamma(t_{k-1})=\gamma(t_{k-1}+\Delta t)-\gamma(t_{k-1})$.
Now we can form the Riemann sum $$\lim_{n \to \infty} \sum_{k=1}^n f(\gamma(t_k))[\gamma(t_{k-1}+\Delta t)-\gamma(t_{k-1})]=\lim_{n \to \infty} \sum_{k=1}^n f(\gamma(t_k))\left[\frac{\gamma(t_{k-1}+\Delta t)-\gamma(t_{k-1})}{\Delta t}\right]\Delta t.$$ In the square brackets we have a differential quotient. Recall that $\Delta t=(b-a)/n$, so if we let $n\to\infty$, the displacement $\Delta t$ tends to zero. This means that if we take the limit, the expression in the square brackets becomes $\gamma'(t)$.
The integral $$\int_{a}^{b}f(\gamma(t))\cdot\gamma'(t)\,\mathrm{d}t$$ is then the limit of this Riemann sum as the lengths of the subdivision intervals approach zero.
Could someone provide an intuitive explanation for contour Integrals?
Contour integral independant of parametrisation
Are all integrals of closed contours over an analytic path = $0$?
Do Contour Integrals and Infinite Series Commute? Fubini's Theorem
Inconsistency with Simple Contour Integrals

Q: How do I register an event on a backbone view element..? I'm trying to bind a click event on the view's el itself. But I'm not able to do so.
One work around is to add an extra element around the actual view content element as the view's el.
For example, template:

and register the event as:
events: {"click #viewContainer": "callback"}

Is there a way to avoid having this extra
 and bind the events directly to view's el..?

A: To bind the events directly to view's el, just avoid the selector part of the event hash and use : {"event": "callback"} syntax
For example, template:

...

and register the event as:
events: {"click : "callback"}

Backbone binds the event directly to the view's element:

Runners seek protection for south Lake's clay roads
By Elyssa Cherney and By Elyssa Cherney
Orlando Sentinel |
South Lake's clay road a great place to run. Lyman High School Cross Country team talks training. Orlando Sentinel archive video from 7/14/14.
Before the sun rises, Curtis Henderson is out running on the clay roads in south Lake County. Wearing gloves and a long-sleeved T-shirt, he waved on a recent brisk morning to a passing trucker on the sparsely traveled two-lane road once surrounded by orange groves.
"The sunrise out here is incredible … it really is like a sanctuary," said the 32-year-old Henderson, who heads a financial-services company. The Clermont resident cherishes the sounds of grazing cows during his runs south of Clermont, away from the area's sprawling subdivisions.
For scores of runners and high-school cross-country-team members who flock to train on the route's four major hills, the remote clay roads are a hidden treasure. But now the runners fear their beloved refuge could be threatened by a long-term development plan in the far-flung region that is poised for growth.
The proposal aims to transform 16,200 acres of undeveloped land along Lake's southeastern edge — an area that encompasses the 10-mile loop used by runners — into a bastion for high-wage jobs in the health-care and wellness fields. County commissioners are due to vote Tuesday on the plan, which then would be sent to the state for approval.
The Wellness Way Sector Plan, as it's called, would also provide shopping, recreation and entertainment to Lake's growing population, now about 308,000 and expected to increase to 451,600 by 2030. In addition to drawing visitors to the area, the plan seeks to preserve the county's natural resources, said Lake County Commissioner Sean Parks, who has spearheaded the project.
"It will promote protection of the unique natural environment that we have in south Lake County but also promote good, high-wage jobs, which will help us move away from being a housing-based economy of burned-out orange groves," he said.
Though the plan currently states the need to "include soft surface trails in addition to hard surface trails," athletes say they want the language to be more specific and guarantee long-term protection of the roads. An online petition, dubbed #savetheclay on social media, has already garnered more than 1,000 signatures.
In response, Parks said he will introduce more direct language "recognizing by name the clay roads as a valuable running feature" into the plan. Several area runners, community members and high-school coaches said they plan to attend the commission meeting to encourage the strongest possible language.
Another looming threat, Henderson said, is a proposal to build a Cemex sand mine on southwest edge of the course. The new mine would require paving 5 miles of the clay roads, he said.
The runners' route is currently amid a smattering of homes and farms as well as citrus groves that are protected by the 2,800-acre Water Conserv II site, which Orange County and Orlando use to spray treated wastewater as part of a water-reuse project. The loop starts on 5 Mile Road and includes turns on to Shell Pond Road and North Bradshaw Road.
Sarah Haskins, a triathlete who competed in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, hits the clay for her longer runs. In addition to enjoying the beautiful setting, the Clermont woman said she prefers the crumbly burnt-orange paths to harder surfaces, such as asphalt or sidewalks, because it leaves her feeling less sore after workouts.
"If you understand and realize how much impact a 10-mile dirt road has in the athlete community, most people would be astounded," said Haskins, 33, who signed the online petition. "The soft surface keeps body healthy … [and] it's such a unique area."
Though the region is poised for big changes over time, Parks said he is reviewing options to preserve as much of the clay roads as possible.

"We will be working to protect that and incorporate that into any future design," Parks said.
Henderson pointed out that the course lies just outside Clermont, Lake County's largest city, with 30,000 residents, and which recently embraced the new slogan "Choice of Champions," in part to play off its reputation as a place where Olympic athletes train.
"If we're saying we're this fit, healthy, active community, we can't just go taking away one of our most valuable assets," he said.

Despite the increasing potential for rain this week, California remains poised to experience exceptional drought conditions in 2014. Under prolonged periods of dry weather, weed control is likely to suffer. This is especially troubling for growers as both crops and weeds will be competing to capture limited soil moisture, which could result in significant yield losses.

2019: Why Lalong Remains Plateau's Best Choice For Governor —Longyen
In this interview with select journalists in Jos, Mark Longyen, Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong, says the Governor's three years scorecard speaks for itself and has automatically placed him head and shoulders above other contenders for his seat in next year's elections. Excerpts:
Q. 2019 being the election year is around the corner and many contenders are jostling to replace Governor Lalong. Doesn't he feel threatened by these opponents?
A. You see, Governor Lalong is no political Lilliputian but rather a political Demagogue in Plateau State and even nationally. He is very much aware of the caliber of opponents who are scrambling for his position, some old enough to be his father, but he is never one to be intimidated by anyone.
He is experienced enough, and his tremendous scorecard over the last three years already speaks for itself. This is something that even his harshest critics, especially among the opposition in the state, cannot deny.
Despite the fact that the Governor took over power at a most difficult time when the opposition PDP government bequeathed to him the state in a state of coma with the state treasury completely looted; a suffocating debt burden of over N200 billion; arrears of workers' salaries, pensions and gratuities running into billions of Naira, etc, he has appreciably weathered the storm in that direction like someone with a magic wand.
The Governor also inherited a deluge of ongoing, abandoned and decaying projects worth billions of naira. He also inherited a plethora of moribund state-owned industries, some of which are as old as the state itself. It's now an open secret that most of them have been turned around by the Governor through Public Private Partnership arrangement.
For instance, the hitherto abandoned Plateau Fertilizer Blending Company in Bokkos is now in full operation having been resuscitated in partnership with a private firm, Bejafta Ltd. The Plateau Bottling Company in Barkin Ladi has similarly been resuscitated. The Panyam Fish Farm is now fully operational after its resuscitation in collaboration with a private firm, Solbec Ltd. Also, efforts have reached an advanced stage towards the rebuilding of the Jos Ultramodern Market, which was burnt down many years ago, while Plateau Hotel has been rehabilitated, among others.
Q. Critics say the Governor has no projects initiated by him…
A. (Cuts in). That's opposition balderdash! Anybody living in the state knows that this is not true. Last year alone, the Governor awarded contracts for the construction of massive rural roads infrastructure cutting across the entire 17 Local Governments in the state at the cost of almost forty billion naira (N40bn). While some have almost been completed, others are at various stages of completion. Right now, funds are being processed to be released to the few whose jobs are stalled due to the paucity of funds to enable them to complete their jobs before 2019. Let the opposition continue to spread their arrant falsehood, while we continue to dish out the dividends of democracy to the electorate who are savoring all the goodies.
Q. Oil wealth is drying up. What is the way out of this monetary quandary by the Lalong administration?
A. Economic Diversification is it! And we have since embraced Agriculture as the driver and future mainstay of Plateau State's economy. With the measures so far put in place by the Governor, the agricultural revolution has taken off. If implemented to the letter, all things being equal, I am sure by the end of 2019, Plateau State should commence the exportation of Irish Potatoes and Rice! For instance, with the recent approval of the Irish Potatoes Value Chain Loan of N3.38 billion for the state by the African Development Bank (AfDB), especially given our comparative advantage as the largest Irish Potatoes producing state in West Africa, its exportation from the state alongside its chain products by 2019 is within sight.
You see, Governor Lalong, as a visionary leader, when he realized the enormity of the economic challenges on assumption of office, had to quickly think outside the box to resort to economic diversification to agriculture as the way. He organizes an EXCO Retreat at NiPSS, Kuru in which I was a participant and far-reaching decisions were arrived at and are now being implemented.
Also, the state has fully keyed into the Federal Government's farmers' Anchor Borrowers' Scheme and I guess, with these efforts, very soon, we will overtake Kebbi State as Nigeria's leading state in the production of not only rice but many other agricultural produce. These giant strides in our agricultural drive have not gone unnoticed as the Governor was nominated into the FG's Food Security Committee and just last week he bagged the Media Governor of The Year Award in Agriculture in Abuja.
Q. Why do you think that among the motley of aspirants for the race to Little Rayfield next year, Governor Lalong is the man to beat?
A. First and foremost, he is the incumbent governor and no incumbent is a pushover in any election. Given the series of endorsements of his candidacy, his picking the APC ticket is already a fait accompli, with which to face any opposition party candidate.
Besides, the PDP main opposition, as usual, is already in disarray. Just watch and see, as it happened after their tumultuous 2014 primaries, it will happen again when they hold the primary election to pick their governorship flag-bearer. An expectedly weak opposition candidate being the product of an expectedly controversial primary election will definitely be a walk over for Governor Lalong.
Next, the Governor has lived up to his campaign promises and has performed even far beyond the expectations of many who did not give him a chance because of the seemingly insurmountable initial challenges.
Look at the Education Sector, for instance, which he has accorded topmost priority. Governor Lalong has, for instance, funded and resuscitated the hitherto abandoned Plateau State University, which had failed to graduate students after over 10 years of its establishment!
Go to the institution now and see the state-of-art e-library, science laboratory, road network, students' hostels, etc, with myriads of courses now accredited and many lecturers sponsored to pursue their Doctorates abroad.
Also, massive Infrastructures are being put in place in state-owned primary and secondary schools at the moment under the Lalong leadership.
Human Capital Development has never had it so good. Civil Service reforms, settlement of promotion arrears, prompt payment of salaries and pensions, etc, have helped to boost workers' morales for good.
The money-spinning Tourism Sector is also being revamped and revitalized under Public Private Partnership with some foreign interests.
Q. The security challenges in the state have refused to abate despite genuine government efforts to stem the tide. What is your take on this?
A. Thank you for noting that government put in genuine measures to arrest insecurity. You will appreciate the Governor's efforts better if you understand that there is no impregnable security anywhere in the world, including the developed countries. That's why we still hear of shootings in US schools and concerts, killings and bombings in the UK, France, Belgium, Israel, etc which boast some of the best security architectures globally. The creation of the model Plateau Peace Building Agency and its Roadmap To Peace is about the most ambitious and genuine effort towards a proactive, enduring and sustainable peace in the state.
Q. Immediate past Governor Jonah Jang is accused by the EFCC of stealing N6.3 billion belonging to the state, but his supporters are pointing accusing fingers at Governor Lalong as being behind Jang's ordeal.
A. I cannot comment on the substance of the EFCC allegation against Jang because it is subjudice. But it is very nauseating, most irritating and mischievous that people will resort to chasing shadows by accusing the Governor of involvement in a serious issue like this. I've seen some funny posts and placards of the said supporters in the social media. They should count the Governor out of this. The Lalong I have known for about thirty years and worked closely with for three years is by no means vindictive.
The law must take its full course, nobody's above the law, and since an allegation is not a conviction, let them await the outcome of Jang's trial.

Is it only her dreams that prompt Ijeoma...
Under the Udala Trees
Raw, emotionally intelligent and unflinchingly honest--a triumph.
Summary and Reviews
Is it only her dreams that prompt Ijeoma to leave Chibundu or does she have other reasons for her decision?
Posted Aug. 26, 2016 | | |
juliep
RE: Is it only her dreams that prompt Ijeoma to leave Chibundu or does she have other reasons for her decision?
I think it's her dreams that reveal to her the reasons why she needs to leave. The reasons have been there all along, and finally come to the forefront through her dreams.
This book seemed to have a lot of dream sequences in it, which I usually don't like, and which I wasn't that fond of in this book. I have never personally had dreams that "spoke" to me like Ijeoma's did. Does this happen in real life? Or is this a trick that authors use to get their characters to do what they want them to?
In this society, dreams are an important part of life. They guide you and often "speak" to you. They are part of the religion of your life. Ijeoma would not ignore any dreams. She did follow the advise to leave her marriage. I do think her major reason for leaving was what she saw in her own daughter. The fear, the indifference to things around her, the haunted look on her face. As depressed as Ijeoma had become, she still cared about her child and knew she had to do something.
dianaps
Ijeoma had plenty of reasons to leave her husband but she kept pushing them back and not facing them. The dream was the pivotal point in her decision. To answer Juliep's question about dreams such as these happing in real life my answer is yes they do. I, myself, have had many dreams that had a direct impact on me and/or my family members. One of my ancestors was part American Indian and she had them too.
marilynj
I agree with Juliep about the dreams. I think it is indeed a literary device. I don't like reading or hearing about anybody's dreams. My dreams don't have any impact on my life. My son died recently, and I think of him almost constantly. I've asked him again and again to come to me in my dreams. Still hasn't happened except once and he did not appear as a living person. I think Ijeoma's dreams, as part of the plot, might have prompted her to leave, but she obviously had other reasons. She wanted to be happy. She wanted her daughter to be happy. She wanted a better life for herself and her daughter, and I don't think she wanted another child.
In this case the dreams were not a literary device. They were a very important part of her life. In her culture and many others included our Native Americans, our dreams speak to us, help us understand our lives and work out our problems. The author was educated in the United States, but would certainly remember and hold on to a major part of her culture. She, the character, who was living the culture would have a very difficult time ignoring the advice given in a dream.
I don't mind reading about dreams in a story. I personally do not remember any of my dreams; I wish I did. If a person does remember dreams I could see how they could effect major decisions one makes. I think your intuition is similar; almost like dreams while you are awake. I have based decisions in the past on a very strong intuition or feeling I have had.
jeant
I agree with the others that Ijeoma had multiple reasons for leaving Chibundu with one of the most compelling the increasing detachment and emotional withdrawal of her daughter. My interpretation would be that her dreams were the crystallization of the things she knew in her heart but which she denied with her intellect. I am not a member of any culture, ie Native American, etc., which openly encourages the use of dreams as a tool, but I have had dreams since childhood which spoke to me and offered clarification of situations troubling me at the time. There are everyday dreams and then, rarely, there are those that kind of slap me upside the head and say "Pay attention, look at this!" For me, these dreams are always metaphorical and offer a keen distillation of what might seem to be very complex indecipherable issues when I'm awake. Far from being simply a literary device, the interpretation of dreams as an opening to the subconscious and/or the soul is widely explored and accepted among numerous schools of psychology and spirituality -- the work of Carl Jung to name just one.
ritah
Dreams generally reflect our strong fears and needs of our daily wakeful lives and are often said to be a way of unconscious problem-solving. That is what the dreams are doing for Ijeoma. I believe that she also had real fears for the physical safety of herself and her daughter...the machete incident bothered her. She was also being forced into sexual interactions which she did not want; we call that rape today even when it is between a married couple. But, I was really anticipating a physical attack by Chibundu as he became increasingly frustrated and, especially, after Ijeoma's miscarriage. I thought he might interpret that as being a deliberate act to get rid of a what he firmly believed was a son.
darylb
No, it may have been the catalyst that pushes her into leaving, but she knew in her heart that her marriage was a farce. Her love of her daughter and her yearning for a happier life were why she left.

Q: How do I separate window creation and a draw function in C using SDL2? I am trying to separate drawing (drawing.c) to the screen from the creation of a window and renderer (initialize.c). I want them both in different source-files. The drawing code runs and is executed, but the graphics are not updated.
If I put the code from the drawing file inside the create window and rendering file, it works. The color in the window is now red.
main.c - The main file
SDL_Window *window;
SDL_Renderer *renderer;

int main()
{
    initialize(window, renderer);
    draw(renderer);

    SDL_Dealy(5000);
    SDL_Quit();
}

initialize.c - Create window and renderer
void initialize(SDL_Window *window, SDL_Renderer *renderer)
{
    SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);
    window = SDL_CreateWindow("Title",
        SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED,
        SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED,
        640, 480, 0);
    renderer = SDL_CreateRenderer(window, -1, 0);
}

draw.c - Draw graphics to window
void draw(SDL_Renderer *renderer)
{
    SDL_SetRenderDrawColor(renderer, 255, 0, 0, 255);
    SDL_RenderClear(renderer);
    SDL_RenderPresent(renderer);
}

When I run the code the window display is black. It is supposed to be filled with red. I get no error messages when I run the code. The new color graphics are never rendered visible.

A: I can't see how it could have worked in single file unless actual code is different from presented in question. Look at your initialise function:
void initialize(SDL_Window *window, SDL_Renderer *renderer)
{
    SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);
    window = SDL_CreateWindow("Title",
        SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED,
        SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED,
        640, 480, 0);
    renderer = SDL_CreateRenderer(window, -1, 0);
}

When you call it from main as initialize(window, renderer);, it gets values of global window and renderer. Then it assigns new window/renderer to its local variables, which gets lost when function returns - no global variable is modified after this. Then you call draw(renderer); with the same global not-assigned renderer (NULL) - no way it would work as you expect.
Basically function can't modify anything passed as its arguments because it gets copy of passed values. Correct version would look like this:
void initialize(SDL_Window **window, SDL_Renderer **renderer)
{
    SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_WINDOW);
    *window = SDL_CreateWindow("Title", SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, SDL_WINDOWPOS_UNDEFINED, 640, 480, 0);
    *renderer = SDL_CreateRenderer(window, -1, 0);
}

// ...
// in file with main func
SDL_Window *window;
SDL_Renderer *renderer;
void initialize(SDL_Window **window, SDL_Renderer **renderer);
void draw(SDL_Renderer *renderer);

int main()
{
    // ...
    initialize(&window, &renderer);
    draw(renderer);
    // ...
}

This is the same way how SDL_CreateWindowAndRenderer operates.
Another thing is that you can't expect draw-and-delay to be correctly displayed; it may work on your configuration of OS/window manager/settings/luck but not others. Refresh loop is essential.

Pogoplug is a cloud storage service that focuses on one main strength, accessibility. They claim to be an unlimited online storage service catering especially to mobile users. In our Pogoplug cloud review, we will be taking a closer look at this service and give you all the facts.
Accessibility might be its main feature, but Pogoplug isn't limited to that. They offer file streaming between all connected devices and no limitations in regards to size. We will be taking a look at how they fare against other cloud storage services. We will also suggest alternatives, should Pogoplug not suit your needs.
Pogoplug manages to put some distance between it and its main competitors with its unlimited storage offer, regardless of what type of plan you choose (even the 30-days free trial period plan has unlimited storage and backup).
To top it all up, some of the customers who have created a free account on Pogoplug allegedly managed to amass more than 60 TB of personal data.
Backup data from your desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone.
Share files with your contacts via e-mail, Facebook or Twitter.
Integrate various third-party apps such as Pogoplug cast, Pogoplug Remote Access, Pogoplug drive, and Pogoplug Backup Software.
Pogoplug currently offers three types of plans: one designed for a single user; a family plan, with a master account and at least one other user; and business plan, which can have increased security and prioritized support. They also have a different plan for remote access, specially designed for mobile devices.
Below, you will find a table containing the prices of each plan, as well as their features. Note that all plans come with a 30-days free trial feature, which can help you decide whether this service is what you're looking for or not.
Restricted to one user per account.
Remote access for $19.95 per year per invited user.
Remote access for $100 per year per invited user.
The first thing we've observed during our Pogoplug cloud review is how simple it is to create an account and deploy the manager on your machine. After typing in your credentials, the Web app will automatically launch, and you're ready to back up files and folders.
According to Pogoplug, the service works with any kind of file, but, in our experience, works best with multimedia files. Just upload them to the cloud, and access them with one click from any device. The dev team even included a picture viewer and a video/audio player.
There are two major ways of backing up your files: by using the desktop application or the web application.
To our displeasure, we've discovered that the backup process takes a long time to complete on the Web-based app. And worse, the size of the files did not exceed 5 MB. Still, the manager successfully uploaded the files, and placed them in the appropriate folders, in regard to their extensions.
The desktop-based app only has three buttons (Backup, Recovery and one for visiting the Web-based app) and doesn't let you choose which files to upload. It just has a gigantic "Start" button which begins the backup process.
Restoring your files from the cloud is as easy as uploading them. We've found out that the easiest way to retrieve your files is by using the desktop-based app. Just head over to the "Restore" section in your desktop application, select them, right-click and choose the "Restore" function.
Within a couple of seconds, the manager will automatically download the files in your default Pogoplug folder.
As for file versioning, the cloud will automatically save the last 20 versions of each file, which you can view using the Web-based application.
By default, Pogoplug uses a 256-bit SSL key to encrypt your data in transit. Furthermore, if you want to add an extra layer of protection, you can create your own encryption key, by using the settings tab.
After all the prodding we did for our Pogoplug cloud review, we have to say that we were impressed by how much emphasis the company has placed on security. All the more reason to try out this amazing cloud storage service.
We can safely say that sharing is considered one of Pogoplug's strongest point. With Pogoplug you will be able to share your favorite files and folders via e-mail or by using Facebook or Twitter. Simply select the files, and click on the "Share" button.
Unfortunately, you cannot use the desktop application to share files with your contacts.
Pogoplug also has free apps for iPhone, iPad and Android devices. In terms of features, the mobile version of Pogoplug has basically the same functions as the Web-based application. Furthermore, you can use the mobile app to back up your camera roll, each time the folder receives a new picture.
The desktop app is rudimentary.
One of the best alternatives to Pogoplug is Backblaze. Backblaze focuses very much on file encryption and security, using AES and SSL protocols. It also allows for a full file recovery of up to 30 days and backup of all owned devices. All this, coupled with their very affordable costs for both personal and business plans, make it a top contender.
Syncplicity is also a good choice if Pogoplug does not meet your needs. Just looking at their Personal plan, which offers 10 GB of free storage allotment with file versioning and sharing, and multiple device syncs are enough to cement Syncplicity as a top alternative. They offer 2 types of plans for both personal and corporate use but are a bit pricier than most.
The now famous Dropbox can pose as a serious adversary to Pogoplug's affordability. Dropbox is offering free storage allotment for up to 2 GB of data and $20/user/month for unlimited storage. It also offers mobile app support, free file sharing and 30 days recovery time. Dropbox uses OAuth security protocols if SSL isn't what you're looking for.
As part of our Pogoplug cloud review, we've been able to see quite a lot of things. Some of them we liked, and some we don't. For example, we do appreciate the fact that the company has made ample efforts to keep it as simple as possible. On the other hand, we found it quite frustrating to work with the simplistic desktop application.
All in all, we recommend this cloud storage and backup service for its decent price tiers and unlimited backup space.


As a 1953 follow-on to the 1950 Destination Moon (see also), this work is interesting in that it features the va-va-va-voom Donna Martell as Heinlein's typically strong but ultimately submissive female lead. Not necessarily bad unless you're a feminist, I guess; still she, like other Heinlein heroines, comes across sharp as a tack compared to the rather obtuse hammer-sack jocks she's compelled to work with.
The paternal commander played by Hayden Rorke (aka Dr. Bellows in I Dream of Jeannie) is obviously a stand-in for Heinlein himself -- think of SiaSL's Jubal Harshaw in uniform -- who bizarrely shows his kink in threatening to spank his unruly female subordinate. Definitely creepy.
Fun to watch, but only because it is fantastically bad.
Okay, this has got to be among the top two silliest 50s science fiction movies I've ever seen! Does that mean I don't like it? No. I really like it. I just think it's super-silly, and that's what makes it fun. And heck, I, for one, think Ms. Breiteis (pronounced Bright Eyes) is really cute. This is one credit Hayden Rorke probably wished wasn't on his resume', though. Wait 'til you see the get-up he gets to wear! Still, although this doesn't even approach the top-knotch writing, directing, and acting of the best of the 50s sci-fi flicks (and there were quite a few good ones), it's an enjoyable nostalgia piece.
The video transfer is super-crisp. I mean, the original print must have been hermetically sealed (did I spell that right?) and sitting in an air-tight jar on Funk and Wagnall's climate-controlled front porch since the late 50s. Audio and video are excellent. There's nothing silly about the technical aspects of this DVD -- which is a whole lot more than can be said for the plot (and the directing, and the acting, and ...).
An expedition sets out in 1970 to orbit and survey the Moon while setting a foundation for future U.S. missions. But a mechanical problem forces the craft to land on the Moon's surface and the race is on to solve several mysteries - that includes espionage and plans in the Soviet Union to derail the U.S. project - while rescuing the astronauts.
Author Robert A. Heinlein co-wrote the screenplay (based on a story he penned), with the "film" - edited pieces of an unsold Sci-Fi television series, Ring Around the Moon - being released in 1953. Directed by Richard Talmadge, it features women in a variety of top leadership positions - on the mission and in politics - while exploring the possibilities of space travel in a realistic manner.
Somehow this movie never played on TV in my locale (Milwaukee/Chicago) when I was a horror-crazed kid (unlike apparently every other cheap SF flick of the period). For fans of low-budget 1950s space operas this is a terrific find. Project Moonbase neatly straddles the fence between "serious" science-fact specimens such as Destination Moon or Riders to the Stars and tacky "babes in space" fare like Cat Women of the Moon or Queen of Outer Space. It shares a similar look and feel with all those films and other typical titles of the era from Astor, Allied Artists, UA, and other independents, such as Missile to the Moon, Fire Maidens of Outer Space, War of the Satellites, etc. Co-written by pioneering modern SF icon Robert Heinlein (Destination Moon, The Puppet Masters, Starship Troopers) and low-budget western producer Jack Seaman, PM contains enough sober "speculative fiction"/rocketry tech stuff to satisfy hardware geeks as well as plenty of cool atomic-age design and forehead-slap-inducing sexism ("I ought to turn you over my knee and spank you") for irony-wallowing bad cinema fanatics. `Genre' names peppering the credits include director Richard Talmadge (the silent movie star, stunt man, and 2nd unit director); Ed Wood's house cinematographer, William C. Thompson, and makeup man, Harry Thomas (unfortunately no one gets their face burned off with acid in this); former Columbia art director Jerome Pycha (Riders to the Stars, Unknown Island, Prehistoric Women), and future director (Cry Baby Killer, Twilight Zone, Lost in Space) Justus Addiss.
The year is 1970, the United States has a floating space platform, and the government is about to embark on exploration of the moon. The Russkies, who look and sound like Midwestern businessmen, find out, and decide to sabotage the operation by commandeering one of our spaceships and crashing it into the space station. To accomplish this, they infiltrate the mission with one of their 350 (!!) Exact Doubles of Prominent Scientists that they just happen to have lying around. After some talky explanations of gravitational principles by General "Pappy" Greene (Hayden Rorke, I Dream of Jeannie's Dr. Bellows), Major Bill Moore (Ross Ford), and Colonel Briteis (pronounced "bright-eyes," cringe now) played by Donna Martell (Rocky Jones: Space Ranger) are selected, along with the doubled Dr. Wernher, for the mission to observe the dark side of the moon, much to their mutual consternation. See, Maj. Moore and Col. Briteis used to be an item . . . . During these set-up scenes it seems like you're in for one of those dry Gog type of flicks, but hang in there, things start to pick up once the space flight gets underway. For some reason they scream and sweat profusely on takeoff (?!), and they all wear easily the silliest uniforms ever seen, comprised of tee shirts, short shorts, big honking belt buckles, and demure felt aviators' caps, which look cute on Ms. Martell but laughable on everyone else. Once they arrive at the space station we get a docking-with-the-space-wheel sequence, crazily angled sets, some (intentionally?) hilarious scenes of crewmembers matter-of-factly walking on ceilings and sitting on walls, and "please don't walk on the walls" signs posted in the corridors. (These scenes are strangely prescient of Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey; could this be one of the dozens of SF flicks he screened while preparing his masterpiece?). Bill, Col. Briteis, and the fake Dr. Wernher take off from the station on the observation mission, Bill suspects Dr. Wernher's true identity (he's unfamiliar with the Brooklyn Dodgers!), they're eventually forced to ditch their craft on the Moon, and Bill and Wernher go EVA to set up a communications relay. Throughout all this we get lots of nicely realized spaceship and moonscape sequences, conceptually on par or better than anything in a comparably-budgeted movie, forgiving a few laughably obvious gaffes. I also love how it appears that people on the ship's view screen seem to be simply sitting behind a hole in the wall, and late-night TV junkies will fondly nostalgia-trip on the B&W "target" test pattern they occasionally display. It all climaxes (spoiler alert) with an incredible only-in-the-50s "family values" denouement wherein the downed craft is proclaimed Moonbase #1; the now-clinching Bill and Briteis are "ordered" to get married by Dr. Bellows, er, General Greene since they'll be cohabiting on the Moon until a rescue mission can be mounted; the president of the United States turns out to be a woman (!!); and Maj. Moore jumps Col. Briteis just as the closing titles fill the screen. While not as patently ludicrous as Cat Women, Fire Maidens, or Queen of Outer Space, Project Moonbase is similarly bent in its own unique way, and easily as entertaining (the 63 minutes fly by). Fans of cheap B&W 50s space epics cannot fail to be entertained. Highly recommended.

1984 Chicago Cubs — Where Are They Now?
By Nick Friedell
ESPNChicago.com
John Jacob and Dan Diversey had the type of job that many kids in Chicago dreamed about in 1984 -- they were the bat boys for the Cubs. To this day, 25 years later, it's still one of the coolest jobs either has ever had.
"That was a magical year," Diversey, now a 40-year-old sales executive, says now. "To be part of the whole experience was great."

MIDDLE: Palmer, Gary Matthews, Nimitz, Thad Bosley, Lee Smith, Rich Bordi, Scott Sanderson, Rick Sutcliffe, Tim Stoddard, Rick Reuschel, George Fraizer, Dick Ruthven, Dennis Eckersley, Yosh Kawano, Tony Gorofalo (trainer), Warren Brusstar
FRONT: Davey Lopes, Dan Rohn, Larry Bowa, Billy Connors, Ruben Amaro, Johnny Oates, Jim Frey, Don Zimmer, John Vukovich, Richie Hebner, Ron Cey, Bob Dernier, Ryne Sandberg
GROUND: John Jacob, Dan Diversey (bat boys)
Back in the day, the Cubs would pick two kids every couple of years from St. Benedict's High School for the coveted positions. Jacob and Diversey were close neighborhood friends growing up, so when Jacob, who was 15 years old at the time, was selected, he decided to recommend his 14-year-old buddy Diversey. The lifelong Cubs fans ended up spending the next two seasons working for their beloved team and still can't believe their good fortune.
"We're a lucky pair of guys," Jacob, a 41-year-old two-time Persian Gulf veteran, says now.
When you speak to each man, as I did recently during separate phone conversations, it's clear that the memories from that time in their lives are brighter than ever. Diversey remembers that while both boys did a lot of work, the players were very nice and treated the pair like "little brothers." When asked if he recalled a specific memory from the 1984 campaign, Jacob, who now owns a small contracting company, did not hesitate.
"The Sandberg game," he said. "The energy coming from that game was unbelievable."
Even after all this time, and all the heartbreak the Cubs have provided over the years, both men remember their time in the Wrigley Field clubhouse fondly. Both men still cheer for the Cubs, although Diversey admits that his heart is still broken from the '84 NLCS loss to the Padres. Jacob, who says he still wears a Cubs hat to work most days, says that he and his wife were sitting just a few rows away from Steve Bartman during the infamous Game 6 of the 2003 NLCS.
Despite all that, each man still has faith that the team will one day win that elusive World Series title -- so much so that both guys have passed down their love of the Cubs to their young sons.
Jacob notes that for every Sox game his ex-wife takes his 11-year-old son Jordan to, he'll make up for it by taking him to two games on the North Side. Diversey says his 6-month-old Roman "has no choice" when it comes to being a Cubs fan.
Like so many other fans, it's hard for them to believe it's actually been a quarter century since the Cubs clinched that NL East crown. Let's take a look back now and see where some of the other players and coaches from that magical team have ended up over the years ...
Jim Frey Frey was the man at the helm when the Cubs came this close to a World Series berth in '84. After serving as a general manager later in his tenure, the veteran baseball man retired from the organization as a senior vice president. Frey now serves as the vice chairman of the Somerset Patriots, a professional team from New Jersey that plays in the Atlantic League.
Don Zimmer The lovable third-base coach on the '84 squad would go on to manage the Cubs to the NL East title in 1989. Zimmer, of course, also went on to serve as the bench coach for Joe Torre and the Yankees, winning four world championships and becoming a celebrity in New York City in the process. He currently serves as a senior adviser for the Tampa Bay Rays and recovered from a small stroke earlier this season.
Billy Connors The big pitching coach served on the Cubs staff twice (from 1982 to '86 and from 1991 to '93). He continued to work as a coach before becoming a senior figure and confidant of George Steinbrenner for the better part of the next few decades. He was honored over five years ago by Little League baseball for his achievements in the game, and the fact he was actually on a Little League World Championship winner in 1954. Connors is still considered a pitching guru within the Yankees organization and consults with the team's players and personally recommends "the lesson ball" on Steve Trout's Web site.
Johnny Oates The former coach continued to work his way up the baseball ladder and ended up managing the Baltimore Orioles and Texas Rangers before passing away in 2004 because of a brain tumor.
Ruben Amaro Sr. Amaro worked as a Cubs coach for four years before embarking on a long journey as a manager in the minor leagues. His son is the general manager of the Phillies and his grandson is a freshman on the University of Virginia's baseball team. For the first time in over 50 years, Ruben Sr. is not working for a major league team. He is developing a youth academy in Maracaibo, Venezuela.
John Vukovich Vukovich's biggest claim to fame with the Cubs may be that he was interim manager for Frey after he got fired in 1986. He ended up working as a coach and later as a front-office man for the Philadelphia Phillies for more than 19 years before succumbing to brain cancer in 2007.
Yosh Kawano Kawano served as the Cubs' clubhouse man for over 60 years and become a popular Cubbie figure thanks to frequent mentions on the air from Harry Caray and his propensity for wearing a floppy fishing hat to work. He stopped working in the clubhouse last season and was honored with his own day at Wrigley Field.
Rich Bordi The right-handed reliever went 5-2 with a 3.46 ERA on the year. Like many of his other teammates, he has stayed in the game. Currently, he is a scout for the San Diego Padres and was named Scout of the Year at an awards banquet earlier this year. Apparently, he also likes to do some serious fishing when he gets a chance.
Warren Brusstar The big right-hander went 1-1 with a 3.11 ERA during the '84 campaign and helped solidify the bullpen. After spending several years as a coach in the minor league system, Brusstar now serves as the pitching coach at Napa Valley College.
Dennis Eckersley Traded at the end of May from the Red Sox to the Cubs, "The Eck" went 10-8 during the year with a 3.03 ERA. Of course, after leaving the Cubs he would go on to become a Hall of Fame closer with the A's. Eckersley now serves as an analyst for NESN and Turner Sports. He is still rocking the same kind of hairstyle that he was in '84, but hates it when people call it a mullet.
George Frazier The big right-hander who came over in a deal from Cleveland compiled a 6-3 record and a 4.10 ERA during the magic carpet ride of '84. He's also been part of a few interesting playoff runs lately as the color analyst for the Colorado Rockies for the past 11 years.
Rick Reuschel "Big Daddy" went 5-5 for the Cubs in '84 while toting a hefty 5.17 ERA. The right-hander had much better success after leaving the team and going to the Giants. He became an All-Star in 1988 and ended up with 214 wins. He now runs a family farm outside his old hometown of Quincy, Ill., with his brother Paul.
Dick Ruthven Ruthven made a name for himself in Philadelphia, but he didn't have the same kind of success on the North Side of Chicago. He went 6-10 in '84 with a 5.04 ERA. His son Sean, who pitched at Georgia and was drafted by the Rockies, called his dad the "mental guru" when it came to the mechanics of thinking and pitching.
Scott Sanderson The lanky right-hander went 8-5 in '84, earning a 3.14 ERA. He ended up staying with the Cubs for five more years after that and still returns to Wrigley once in a while to sing the "Seventh Inning Stretch." Sanderson has stayed in baseball but decided to take a different path from most other former players. Since retirement, he has served as an agent, representing big names such as Josh Beckett and Todd Helton.
Lee Smith The 26-year-old closer had 33 saves on the year for the Cubs with a 3.65 ERA. He would finish his career with 478 saves, which at the time of his retirement in baseball in 1997, was the most in baseball history. Smith, who is still waiting to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, remains heavily involved in baseball. He served as the pitching coach for the South African WBC team in 2006 and 2009 and travels the world to teach the game.
Tim Stoddard The tall right-hander made his only year in Chicago a good one, going 10-6 with a 3.82 ERA. He currently serves as an assistant coach for the Northwestern University baseball team.
Rick Sutcliffe The Red Baron earned his place in Cubs lore by going 16-1 for the North Siders down the stretch after being traded in the middle of the year by the Indians. Sutcliffe, who was diagnosed with colon cancer last year, is doing well these days and works as an analyst for ESPN.
Steve Trout The Chicago native enjoyed the best season of his career during '84, going 13-7 with a 3.41 ERA. He continues to teach younger players and has served as a coach in various professional leagues. He has his own Web site which offers people the chance to have him teach personalized clinics and guide them on different baseball tours, among other things.
Jody Davis Davis was an integral part of the club, batting .256 and clubbing 19 home runs and 94 RBIs. The affable catcher is now serving as the Cubs' roving catching instructor after managing several years in the organization's minor league system.
Ron Hassey The utilityman came over from Cleveland during the middle of the year in the same deal that landed Sutcliffe and Frazier. He ended up playing in just 19 games for the Cubs and had 11 hits. His baseball claim to fame is that he caught two perfect games. Hassey has worked for several different major league and minor league organizations as a coach and manager.
Steve Lake The backup catcher had only 12 hits for the Cubs in 54 at-bats during the year. After being released by the team in 1986, he actually ended up coming full circle and finishing his career on the North Side in 1993.
INFIELDERS
Larry Bowa The fiery shortstop hit .223 during the year, providing a veteran presence on the field and in the clubhouse. After managerial stints with the Padres and Phillies, and a coaching stint with the Yankees, Bowa is now the third-base coach for the Dodgers.
Ron Cey "The Penguin" provided some pop for the '84 team, cranking 25 home runs and driving home 97 RBIs. He would go on to play three more seasons in the big leagues before retiring in 1987. Cey currently works for the Dodgers and makes appearances on behalf of the team.
Leon Durham "Bull" will always be remembered for that error in San Diego, but it should not be forgotten how much of an impact he had on that '84 team. He batted .279 and had 23 home runs and had 96 RBIs. He would go on to play five more seasons in the big leagues. Since retiring, Durham has dabbled in acting, making an appearance in "Little Big League," and has been a coach for over a decade. He has served as the hitting coach for the Toledo Mud Hens for the past nine years.
Richie Hebner The utilityman accounted for just two home runs and eight RBIs in '84 and ended up retiring from baseball after the 1985 season. Hebner has coached in baseball for years and currently serves as the manager of the Frederick Keys, the Class A affiliate of the Orioles.
Davey Lopes Lopes spent most of the '84 season in Oakland before being traded to the Cubs on Aug. 31, a move that completed an earlier trade which sent Chuck Rainey to the A's. Lopes appeared in 16 regular-season games for the Cubs and batted just .235. Lopes retired from baseball after the 1987 season, and went on to manage the Milwaukee Brewers from 2000 to 2002. He is currently the first base coach and outfield/baserunning instructor for the Philadelphia Phillies.
Dan Rohn The utility infielder played in just 25 games and hit one home run and had three RBIs. He has managed in the minors for years and is currently the manager of the Fresno Grizzlies, the Triple-A affiliate of the San Francisco Giants. Earlier this summer, he earned his 1,000th career victory.
Ryne Sandberg If people remember one player on the '84 Cubs, it would probably be Sandberg. "Ryno" carried the team at times during that season and ended up earning the MVP award after hitting .314 with 19 home runs and 84 RBIs. Sandberg would go on to become a Hall of Famer and one of the most beloved Cubs players of all time. He has managed in the organization's minor league system for three years now, and is hoping to become the skipper of the big league club.
Tom Veryzer 1984 represented the last year of Veryzer's career. The infielder was used sparsely, going just 14-for-74 over 44 games. The Islip, N.Y., native was inducted into the Suffolk Sports Hall of Fame in 1995.
OUTFIELDERS
Thad Bosley The 27-year-old outfielder hit .296 over 55 games and had two home runs and 14 RBIs. His breakout year came in 1985, when he hit .328 for the Cubs. After spending years following a passion in music as a singer/songwriter, Bosley worked as the A's hitting coach for a few years. He is currently the head coach at Bethany University in California.
Henry Cotto The young outfielder played only one season for the Cubs, batting .274 with eight RBIs. He was traded to the Yankees the following year. After spending years coaching in the minors, Cotto is now the Giants roving minor league baserunning and outfielder coordinator. His mustache was the impetus for a certain sports blog as well: Henrycottosmustache.com.
Bob Dernier "The Deer" earned a Gold Glove award during the '84 season and was one of the key contributors on the team. It was his first season with the team and he made the most of it, hitting .278 and knocking in 32 RBIs. He currently serves as the Cubs minor league outfield and baserunning coordinator. He still is revered around Wrigley.
Jay Johnstone The veteran outfielder hit .288 for the team in limited action but apparently kept the clubhouse entertained due to his lighthearted personality. After retiring, Johnstone became a broadcaster and also managed to write four different books in his spare time. He currently serves as a speaker on behalf of the Angels.
Gary Matthews "The Sarge" had a great year in '84, hitting .291 with 14 home runs and 82 RBIs. He became a fan favorite in left field and remains so to this day. He has served as a coach for several major league teams, including the Cubs, and currently serves as a broadcaster for the Philadelphia Phillies. He has developed a reputation for his on-air hat selection. His son Gary Jr. followed in his father's footsteps and played for the Cubs as well. He is now an outfielder for the Angels.
Keith Moreland The veteran right fielder from Texas gave the Cubs a solid season in '84, hitting .279 with 16 home runs and 80 RBIs. He hit .333 in the playoffs and would go on to play three more years on the North Side before being dealt to San Diego. Since retiring, he has worked as a radio commentator for the University of Texas' baseball and football teams, a roving instructor for the Nationals and most recently a fill-in for Bob Brenly on Cubs telecasts. If Brenly ever leaves, many fans hope that Moreland is tapped to replace him.
Gary Woods The utilityman hit .235 over 87 games in 1984. He would go on to play just one more season in the big leagues after that. Woods currently serves as the hitting coach of the Santa Barbara Foresters during the summers and survived a frightening collision with a foul ball earlier this year.

Starz's Third Season of "Ash vs. Evil Dead" Gets a New Poster and Trailer!
Starz's third season of horror-comedy series "Ash vs. Evil Dead" returns to our screens this February, which will bring our chainsaw welding hometown hero back to Elk Grove to battle more deadites.
And today we bring you a badass new poster, along with a killer trailer!
You can check them both out below.

Revenue management is fundamental to any hotel operation – so why doesn't your luggage room receive the same attention? Many hotels have embraced the "sharing economy" by offering luggage storage to non-guests through Stasher, the world's first online luggage storage platform. Indeed, while Airbnb is often thought of as the arch nemesis of hotel owners, the model is driving a market that hotels are now directly benefiting from.
Backed by Hotels.com and Expedia, Stasher connects travellers looking for reliable, short-term storage with hotels, shops and businesses eager to monetise their unused storage space. For hotels, it could not be more of a natural fit – nearly all offer luggage storage to their guests free of charge so why not store a few extra bags for non-guests and generate significant extra revenue?
Over 200 hotels worldwide (including Accor and the Dalata Hotel Group) use Stasher to do exactly this. Many earn as much as £2000 per month with no costs – believe it or not, your luggage room could well become your largest source of ancillary revenue.
Partnering with Stasher is also a great way to showcase all that your hotel has to offer to a young, dynamic customer base, who may more instinctively opt for an Airbnb. Top hotel chains have found this "brand touchpoint" to be one of the main advantages of the partnership: in a recent survey, 67% of Stasher Airbnb customers storing at a hotel said they would be more likely to book hotel accommodation over vacation rental properties in the future.
"We are very pleased to be integrating an internationally-renowned company into the AccorLocal system. Promoting our hospitality services to non-residents remains a key objective, which is made possible by partnerships of this kind".
Now present in more than 100 cities worldwide, more than 150,000 bags have been stored through the Stasher.com platform. Every booking is insured up to £750 against damage, loss or theft and there is no extra work involved for hotel staff.
The Shakespeare Hotel has made more than £20,000 since starting out with Stasher last year, not to mention the indirect income from additional purchases customers make when dropping off and picking up their bags.
Stasher's success is reflective of a broader industry trend, driven by enterprising hotels creatively rethinking how they use their space and how they interact with customers. With hundreds more hotels set to join the Stasher network in the coming months, the overriding message is simple: embrace the sharing economy or risk being left behind by it.

Day 46 was Tuesday, August 14.
I taught both hours of morning drill today, in which we read Horace Odes 2.3, 2.13, 2.14, and 3.13.
Odes 3.13 is the famous celebration of Horace's Spring of Bandusia (fons Bandusiae). Here are pics of an inscription containing the Latin text, and a little waterfall on Horace's estate thought perhaps to be the very fountain addressed in the poem.
All this week, our lunchtime optional sight reading is from our old friend, Vergil's Aeneid.
I led the afternoon optional sight reading from Aquinas' De Ente et Essentia. Fun, fun, fun: it's technical terminology makes about as much sense as that of the Aristotle from which it derives (okay, okay, so I'd never seen the word quiddity before!).

UofL's Trover campus a national model in drawing physicians to rural practice
Although many rural residents who previously were uninsured now have health insurance thanks to the Affordable Care Act, a shortage of physicians in many rural communities means it still can be difficult for rural residents to obtain healthcare.
The University of Louisville School of Medicine has been working to increase the number of physicians in rural communities by training doctors at Trover Campus at Baptist Health Madisonville for 17 years. William J. Crump, M.D., associate dean for the Trover Campus, and his colleagues at UofL have assembled data to demonstrate that their efforts are paying off. The physicians who spent the last two years of medical school at the rural location are much more likely to ultimately practice in a rural setting.
In a study published online last week in The Journal of Rural Health, Crump reveals that 45 percent of the physicians who completed medical school at the rural campus now practice in rural areas, compared with only 7 percent of graduates who remained on the urban campus. The authors examined data for 1,120 physicians who graduated from the UofL School of Medicine between 2001 and 2008, including those who completed training at the traditional urban campus as well as Trover Campus. They used statistical methods to control for the percentage of graduates who had rural upbringing and chose family medicine, factors that previously were shown to predispose a physician to rural practice, and were able to demonstrate the rural campus itself added to the likelihood a physician would choose a rural practice.
"We were able to show that the investment of resources in our campus over the past 17 years has made a real difference for our Commonwealth," Crump said. "There are almost 20 other such small campuses that have been established recently around the country. It will be another 10 to 15 years before they are able to prove the outcomes that we have, but we are confident that they will find the same thing. Not only will physicians be placed into small towns, but the small towns that host these rural regional campuses will benefit greatly from the financial investment by the parent campus as well as potentially recruiting their graduates to make their own medical care better."
Almost two-thirds of Kentucky's counties are considered health professional shortage areas, meaning they have far too few primary care physicians. The University of Louisville focused on correcting this shortage by establishing the Trover Campus in Madisonville, Ky., a town of 20,000 that is 150 miles southwest of Louisville in the west Kentucky coal fields. It was believed that training students from small towns in a small town would more likely produce physicians for the small towns, and now this concept has been proven. Trover Campus was only the second in the United States to be placed in such a small town.

In Her 'SOA' Scene Lea Michele Was Basically Rachel Berry With Cigarettes & More Hardcore Company
By Kelsea Stahler
Can a Glee actress go from playing a gold-star obsessed Streisand aficionado in dorky sweaters and knee high socks to something completely different? Not entirely, apparently. Sure, she's since upgraded from her choir dork look on the Fox dramedy, but Lea Michele guest starred on Sons of Anarchy and she was still three parts Rachel Berry, Lima Loser For Life.
Of course, in Michele's defense, she was also one hefty part pretty good actress in a rather intense scene. Michele shows up as Gertie, a young truck stop waitress with a son and a bad relationship behind her. She helps Gemma, who was forced to walk "12 miles in spiked heels" after Juice decided not to kill her after all. After Gemma understandably falls asleep on the diner table, Gertie invites her outside for a smoke and they get to talking.
The scene isn't really about Michele's Gertie as much as it is the reflection of Gemma that we see on Gertie's pure, young face. Michele's character is sweet, innocent, and kind. She assumes the best of Gemma, not knowing that rather recently, this woman stuck a grill fork in her daughter-in-law's skull and tried to take a young man out into the wilderness to whack him. Gemma gets a little something off her chest, admitting that Tara's death was "my fault," but obviously not confessing to the full-on murder. Gemma notes that she sees Gertie must be "a good girl," and it seems that Gemma's pointing it out as a way of reminding herself just how good she isn't.
It's a quick scene and Michele isn't required to do all that much. It almost makes you wonder why Kurt Sutter brought the big name actress in, but while Michele clearly brings along her chipper Glee routine to play Gertie, she also brings a sense of gravity that I didn't think we've seen from her outside of really, really big ballads. Michele was actually unexpectedly good.
And while I was a little disappointed that she wasn't a little more rough around the edges, as the leaked images of her filming the scene suggested, I have to admit hers is a darn good scene.

What Does it Take to Host a National Tournament? You're About to Find Out!
Published by Ryan Gasser, Capital University sports information director
Photos by Joe Maiorana, Impact Action Sports Photography
The NCAA Division III Women's Basketball Tournament is coming to Capital University in late March. You don't just open the doors for a national tournament and expect it to happen. So what does it take to pull off one of college basketball's premier athletic events?
It isn't quite like Santa Claus but the NCAA Tournament Final Four is like Christmas for those in the collegiate basketball world – and it's coming to town!
On March 20 and 21, The Capital Center and the Performance Arena will transform into the home of the Division III Women's Basketball National Championship and WBCA Senior All-Star Game.
So what goes into making this happen and, more importantly, making sure it's done well?
The process begins with a bid, a not-so-simple ask to house a major event with proof that the University and the city is attractive and equipped properly to serve as a host. Those are submitted years in advance, so this event has been on the radar for a few years. Fresh off hosting the 2016 NCAA Division III Women's Basketball Semifinals, Capital and its partner the Greater Columbus Sports Commission put in multiple bids to host additional NCAA Championship events through the 2022 school year. In 2017, the University learned it had been granted the 2020 women's basketball championships and the NCAA Division III Volleyball Championship.
Capital is no stranger to major events. Its work in the 2016 Final Four plus hosting The Basketball Tournament (TBT) in 2018 and 2019 set the foundation for what is to come this March. Preparations for the event have been ongoing since August to lock in a myriad of small details, but the added challenge to this event is that it doesn't just involve the NCAA.
The All-Star Game, an event for top-performing seniors across the country, is organized by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association. As massive as a Final Four is, injecting another event inside of that is like stuffing an already-overflowing jelly donut!
So who do we call on to manage that over-stuffed donut? Dixie Jeffers, of course.
Jeffers, who is Capital's associate athletic director, senior woman administrator and head women's basketball coach, is the NCAA Tournament Columbus site director. Through her connections and what seems like constant contact with both organizations and all interested parties, the groundwork has been laid for what may be the best women's basketball Final Four ever seen at this level.
The easy part is getting the court available for the game. But then there is:
Security (thanks CU Public Safety, Bexley and Columbus PD!)
Entertainment (welcome to Special Olympics Ohio, Canal Winchester Pep Band and the Dublin Sparks Jump Rope team!)
Broadcast/TV arrangements (Raycom/Tupelo will be providing a high-quality broadcast to bring to the country!)
Getting people in the building (marketing and media efforts supported by our friends at the Greater Columbus Sports Commission)
Organizing the welcome banquet with food, petting zoos, music, guest speakers and highlight videos
(Overwhelmed for us?)
Philanthropic projects for our incoming teams
Pre-, in- and post-game coverage and media arrangements
Photography to capture all the moments!
Concession staffing (thanks, Aladdin Dining!)
Parking, merchandise and ticketing attendants
(Are you in awe yet?)
Team hosts and guides
Graphics, floor and wall stickers (provided by our fav, Brock Schnitzer of Advance Printing & Graphics)
Building and facilities personnel (that's you CU IT, electricians, maintenance and Aetna!)
Bexley and Columbus businesses and restaurants for opening their doors and proving why we're the best!
I'm sure we're missing a few things, but we'll remember before the opening tip!
I suppose what we're saying, and Coach Jeffers would concur, is that this event isn't put on by one person. This is a collaborative effort that relies on the contributions of many in order for the event to succeed. It takes countless phone calls, emails and face-to-face meetings to meticulously put all of the puzzle pieces in place.
You'll see Capital University and Athletics staff members donating their time and effort to run the event. Capital Women's Basketball players will be on the front lines staffing key areas to make the operations flow smoothly. Community members, business leaders and dedicated friends and fans will make this the best NCAA Women's Basketball Final Four yet! Basketball fans from around the city and all over the country will be touring the Greater Columbus area and our campus, and together we will make sure they never forget us or the time they spent here.
