Later today I am off to the Fat Duck for a meal to celebrate the partner's birthday. "Hooray!", you might be thinking. I was thinking it too until I had a look at their wine list on their website. Their wine pricing policy is totally scandalous.
It seems they just multiply the retail cost of a wine by three and a half to come up with a frighteningly inflated price for every wine. Why do restaurants do this? It doesn't cost them proportionately more to serve you a more expensive bottle, so why should they be proportionately more expensive?
I hate sommeliers who do this. It is totally un-necessary and puts people off drinking the things they would like to drink. Sure, a three-star may not be trying to attract nut-case wine-writers with no cash, but that doesn't automatically mean good wine should be priced so only the obscenely rich can afford it.
This pisses me off so much I am tempted to take the sommelier to task. I can be highly articulate when I am angry.
Before you unleash your righteous wrath on some unsuspecting soul, the policy is usually not the sommelier's decision, but rather the management or accounting department's, only implemented by the sommelier as instructed. All these places, like most businesses, are looking at percentage margin rather than net profits. Some of this does have some basis: it costs more to sit on expensive wine than to sit on inexpensive wine.

Rupununi river
20 February 2020, Rupununi river, Guyana - Leon Baird, 32, is seen bow-fishing in a creek on the Rupununi river. He uses torchlight at night to attract the fish.
Leon Baird has ancestry from both the Macushi and Arawak tribe and made his first trip on the Rupununi at age ten. He works as a guide and as a boat pilot but still lives sustainably off the land by hunting and fishing. Members of the Sustainable Wildlife Management Program, SWM, were on a Rupununi River expedition with partners, the South Rupununi Conservation Society. This trip focused on fishing, bow-fishing and local hunting and lifestyles. It also took in the condition of the river and the side creeks employed by locals for food and shelter and occasional gold mining prospecting. In the Rupununi region, on Amerindian land, everything is ruled by the village and they control hunting and fishing. In the protected areas, the villages and government partner on these things. The Rupununi Region is located in the southwest of Guyana. It consists mostly of large tracts of primary forest, with about 20% of its land area covered by natural Neotropical savanna and seasonally flooded wetlands. The region has approximately 24, 000 inhabitants, including indigenous groups that rely on subsistence hunting, fishing and farming. During recent years, fish populations have declined, and similar trends are being observed for terrestrial wildlife. Studies indicate that hunting-dependent livelihoods are sustainable within indigenous lands. Scenarios highlight the probability of future disruption due to infrastructure development, competition with other more lucrative land uses, climate change, and cultural transformation. While conservation efforts are evolving in the Rupununi, there is a need to foster long-term sustainable management practices. In addition, there is a need to share lessons learnt that may be valuable in other Caribbean and Amazonian countries. The SWM Guyana project is building upon existing strategies, visions and development plans at the local and national levels. The project will demonstrate the potential for sustainable use to contribute to biodiversity conservation and preservation of the rights of local communities, both in terms of food security and livelihoods. The Guyana Wildlife Conservation and Management Commission is implementing the SWM Project in coordination with CIFOR. The focus to date has been on building strong working relationship with local communities, developing and implementing a revised fisheries management plan, environmental education, wildlife surveys using camera trapping, eco-tourism activities, wildlife road-kill assessment and livestock development as a source of alternative protein to wild meat.

Theoretical physicist John Hopfield, inventor of the Hopfield neural network, on the differences between physics and biology. Hopfield migrated into biology after making important contributions in condensed matter theory. At Caltech, Hopfield co-taught a famous course with Carver Mead and Richard Feynman on the physics of computation.
Abstract: 'I didn't really think of this as moving into biology, but rather as exploring another venue in which to do physics.' John Hopfield provides a personal perspective on working on the border between physical and biological sciences.
... With two parents who were physicists, I grew up with the view that science was about understanding quantitatively how things worked, not about collecting details and categorizing observations. Their view, though not so explicitly stated, was certainly that of Rutherford: 'all science is either physics or stamp collecting.' So, when selecting science as a career, I never considered working in biology and ultimately chose solid state physics research.
Also by Hopfield: Physics, Computation, and Why Biology Looks so Different and Whatever happened to solid state physics?
See also In search of principles: when biology met physics (Bill Bialek), For the historians and the ladies, As flies to wanton boys are we to the gods and Prometheus in the basement.
My own field was applied biology (wastewater treatment), but Hopfield's comments apply there, too, even today. Analyzing another person's published data is still a no no. And while math (especially bad stats) has invaded biology, it's seldom taken seriously even by those who use it. The biggest problem is that many researchers don't seem to understand that mathematical theories that seem to fit certain data well can make predictions that are absurd about and falsified by other data. That problem is simply ignored.
I used to believed in the concept of occam's razor literally. Over time I started to doubt it. The tipping point came when I read about the prediction of the number of DNA base where a physic nobel laureate (could not recall his name) said that based on occam's razor and the number of type of human amino acids there should be 3 DNA bases. As it happened, nature just does what it pleases.
There needs to be 4 because the requirement of Watson-Crick base pairing during replication, you simply can't just have '3' for this. Amino acid encoding isn't everything and is just part of the equation. So no, don't throw Occam's razor out the window.
I believe Hopfield used thermodynamic arguments to predict that proteins existed to correct errors in DNA replication. The error rate predicted by thermodynamics was lower than the observed error rate. His prediction was, of course, correct.


Protexin has developed a 'gut balancer' to balance out all these changes and keep the gut calm - often resulting in a calmer and happier horse. The formulation contains high levels of probiotics and prebiotics - both of which are not included in many balancers, gut supplements and other digestive supplementary feeds.
Also useful for those horses who do not get the most out of their feed and can drop weight, the gut balancer can slow the movement of food through the gut to ensure that nutrients are absorbed. Horses who suffer during winter on a haylage-only diet and can have scouring episodes are also very much helped by daily feeding of this supplement.
The pro and prebiotics included in the gut balancer are combined with valuable yeast, all of which is on a palatable alfalfa meal base to ensure that it is not left in the bottom of your horses bucket. The supplement is designed specifically to encourage normal digestive function and efficiency. Ideal for every day use to keep your horse in tip-top condition.


Anyway, it is getting hot so now I am pulling out all outfits that are comfy and light like this jumpsuit.
As the International schools are closing their doors for Summer in Japan, Sayonara (Farewell) parties are booming. Many expats who have stayed in Japan over the past years find themselves leaving for other horizons or to go back home. Yokohama is not left behind and this week only I attended two Sayonara parties for three ladies.
I wrote this a while back but I am just posting it now!
I am enjoying my days in Houston, shopping and eating. Would I like it so much if I was living here? I am not sure. Maybe I enjoy my time better here because I know it will not last.
Today, I went out to the Galleria with the kids because I promised them that I would take them to the playground "Little Galleria". Poor kids, I have been dragging them all over town under the heat to shop. They have not complained much but it was time for them to have fun.
Mint green skirt - G.U.
As I am typing this, it is 7:30 AM in Houston. I am still jet lagged from the trip and the hours difference between Japan and Houston but I am getting there.
I had this fedora hat for ages (since 2004 to be exact) but I rarely wear it. My friend Ko gave me compliments on it. I rarely wear it because it is kinda of big for my head. Actually I only remember to wear it when I take my braids out and my hair is kind of pouffy. The volume helps keep the hat in place.


Life with all those great events doesn't get boring! Last weekend we had again a nice tour with friends of the BCN (Bugatti Club Netherlands). My dad and I drove some 105 km to the location in North-Holland with the 1950 135MS Delahaye Chapron cabriolet.
A very nice man, the owner of the Silverstone party center at Halfweg near Amsterdam, organized this event which included two local tours. Everything was very relaxed and quite a few cars turned up, such as modern supercars like Aston Martin, but also many Lotus/Caterham/Donkervoort…, MG, Alvis, Cobra replicas, Ford Mustang, etc. For us there wasn't enough time, but in the Silverstone center there were plenty of entertaining activities to do, such as laser gaming, karting, bungee football and bowling.
Our friends of the BCN live almost next door, so we were happy to visit them and see their large workshop and many great cars! Already by seeing their home, you can tell that Yvonne and Ab van Egmond (and also their huge dog Joep) live and breath classic cars! Of course we didn't leave before having seen the entire place, which was very impressive! Whatever you like, Bugattis, an 1960s Lotus GP racer of our Lotus friend, many Alvis, Bentley, and the list goes on! Not to forget all the tooling which looks great too! Yvonnes' daily transport is great as well, a Moris Minor Traveller (the woody), to accommodate Joep. At their place you never have to be bored thanks to a huge library of books, of course all vintage and classic car books! After some chilling and watching the start of the GP on the Krim, we decided to do the tour to the port locks in IJmuiden. This time Yvonne was our Denis Jenkinson, time to get to know North-Holland!
A nice thing about our 135MS is that there is enough space for three on the wide front seats! Usually the tours we make with the BCN are in beautiful nature, but this tour brought us thru the industrial and port area! Not all of you might agree with my opinion, but I love industrial areas! Especially if they are a bit spooky and neglected… it really looks like art! While touring we passed a HUGE (about 200 m long and 20 m high) torpedo boat bunker, built during WW2 and we saw TATA's GREAT looking steel industry on the other side of the Noordzee-canal! When you are in IJmuiden you do need to take a moment to have a bite of fish, which can't be any fresher than they serve there.
After our tour it was time to chat some more, something petrolheads can do for hours and hours! Always great to meet new people, all with the same interest! It was a LOVELY, especially the end when we arrived at the Europoort (my most beautiful piece of Holland). From there my dad let me drive home, which was the first time I drove the 135MS! Again a FANTASTIC experience, which I enjoyed so much! To be honest, the black beauty Delahaye is my favorite, it drives so SMOOTH! With this car you can easily drive all the way to France. The Cotal gearbox is a gem I must say, very relaxed to shift gears.

USU acquires special provider of digital communications
USU portfolio for portal solutions expanded
USU Software AG (USU) announced today that it had acquired all shares in unitB technology GmbH. The Berlin-based unitB technology is an internationally focused full-service agency for digital communications and IT. With its 35 employees, unitB technology generated sales of €3.6 million and an operating earnings margin of more than 10 percent in 2015. The portfolio ranges from digital strategy consultation and service and UX design to the implementation of complex web portals, apps and intranets. One of its special strengths is its ability to combine strategy, creativity and IT technology. By setting up state-of-the-art digital infrastructures, unitB technology lays the foundation for effective, customer-centric online communications. Major companies like Bayer, Volks- und Raiffeisenbanken, Allgemeine Beamtenbank and FIDUCIA & GAD IT are already successfully using these solutions. With unitB's digital consultation and UX expertise and state-of-the-art technical solutions, USU is adding key specialties to its portfolio.
Strategic expansion in digital interaction
The digital transformation of customer service is creating major challenges for companies today. But it also offers some tremendous opportunities. With smart solutions and its expertise in digital interaction, USU is acting as a driving force in the digitization of business processes. The aim is to concentrate on use-focused, appealing and intuitive tools and websites – for all contact points between customers and companies. The hub of digitization is online portals. The market is particularly active in this area. Nearly 40 percent of portal operators are currently evaluating new technologies and IT operation concepts. System performance, user experience and responsiveness are the key factors for the next generation of online portals. With the help of unitB's expertise, USU can offer strategic consultation, UX design and technology from a single source. As a result, optimized loading times, mobile availability, short release cycles and the integration of all customer-service channels can be assured for customer portals. In the past, unitB technology and USU have successfully conducted customer projects at such companies as Daimler, Stuttgarter Versicherung and BNP Paribas. Technological components supplied by USU like liferay portals, self-service applications, the KCenter database and social media solutions will be complemented and enhanced by unitB's services.
"By acquiring unitB technology, we succeeded in gaining a specialist for demanding and individual online solutions that fits perfectly into our digitization strategy," said Bernhard Oberschmidt, the Chairman of the Board of Directors at USU Software AG.
"This market will grow dynamically in years to come because the entire economy is making the transition to digital business models," said Dr. Benjamin Strehl, a member of the Board of Management at USU Software AG. "unitB technology complements our portfolio, particularly in the areas of strategic and technical consultation as well as user experience and user interface design. In the future, we can provide our customers with optimal support from a single source as they shift to digital business models and strengthen our leading position in the market for digital customer interaction."
"As digital experience experts, we are really happy that our customers will now be able to draw on the entire consulting and technology portfolio of the USU Group," said Norbert Bader, CEO of unitB technology. "Thanks to the 10 locations in Germany and our global presence, we have moved even closer to the customer and can continue to improve service quality. The merger will provide our customers with optimal results during the digital transformation. At the same time, our employees are gaining a long-range future in an established and international company."
Florian Dorrer, CTO of unitB technology, added: "The technological innovations and the IT backbone of the USU Group perfectly complement our own IT service portfolio. As a result, we are increasing the level of integration of our digitalization solutions. Customers will receive all services – from innovative front end to comprehensive system integration – from a single source."
The key aspects of the deal
In the transaction, USU Software AG is acquiring all shares in unitB technology GmbH. The cash price to be paid for the company will contain a fixed and variable share. It will be between €4.0 million and €5.1 million – depending on the future performance of unitB technology. The profitable company that was established in 2002 generated sales of €3.6 million in fiscal year 2015. Following the acquisition by USU, unitB technology will continue to be managed independently.

Q: How to make buttons from scratch in PyQt5? During making my program I needed to create a widget with QTextEdit and QPushButton on it. I did this but the button looked like 3D object. Before this I supposed the button to be flat.
I was trying to change color of the button but it still has volume.
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets
class Window(QtWidgets.QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        QtWidgets.QWidget.__init__(self)
        self.resize(300, 200)
        self.setStyleSheet('background-color: white')
        self.setWindowTitle('Test')
        self.button = QtWidgets.QPushButton('Button')
        self.box = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout()
        self.box.addWidget(self.button)
        self.setLayout(self.box)
if __name__ == '__main__':
    import sys
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    win = Window()
    win.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

How can I deal with it if I want the window to stay white and the button to be flat?
Any help will be appreciated.

A: You have to set the flat property of the button to True in addition to removing the border:
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets

qss = """
#Window{
    background-color: white
}
QPushButton[flat="true"]{
    background-color: black;
    border: 0px;
}
"""

class Window(QtWidgets.QWidget):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(Window, self).__init__(parent)
        self.resize(300, 200)
        self.setObjectName("Window")
        self.setWindowTitle("Test")
        self.button = QtWidgets.QPushButton("Button", flat=True)

        box = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout(self)
        box.addWidget(self.button)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    import sys

    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    app.setStyleSheet(qss)
    win = Window()
    win.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

Indiana University Online RN to BSN Degree Completion Option Earns Two Top National Rankings
By: Indiana University Northwest Last Updated: August 16, 2017
Indiana University School of Nursing's RN to BSN Online Degree Completion Option was recently ranked number two and number eight on two 2017 lists of the Best Online RN to BSN Programs. The designations were awarded by leading college resource websites The Best Schools and Top RN to BSN, respectively.
The RN to BSN Degree Online Completion Option gives registered nurses the chance to earn their Bachelor of Science in Nursing where they work and live in as little as 12 months, after general education requirements are met. Classes are all online and condensed into eight-week learning modules, designed to allow students to continue working while taking classes. Clinical requirements are designed to build upon knowledge and experiences that a student brings to the table. No campus visits are required, but students have access to faculty and advisors at IU Northwest.
The program is offered on nine IU campuses, including IU Northwest. Linda Delunas, director of the School of Nursing at IU Northwest, said faculty at every IU school around the state collaborate to bring students this program option, which is designed with the working RN in mind.
"In addition to having a diverse expert faculty, students learn with students from all around the state in engaging online forums," Delunas said.
Since its inception in the fall of 2010, the RN to BSN Degree Completion Option has graduated 772 students statewide, with 237 graduating in spring 2016. On average, there has been a combined 94 percent retention rate throughout the eight campuses from the time the program started. Janet Phillips Nice, Director of the RN to BSN Degree Completion Option, attributes the impressive numbers to a variety of factors that offer flexibility.
"Students have the capability to customize their course study through electives that cover numerous topics," said Phillips Nice. "This allows them to delve more deeply into the areas that interest them the most."

Wojciechowski: Game 6 defines what baseball history looks like

Game 6 delivers a true fall classic

ST. LOUIS -- This is what baseball history sounds like:
"This is the best game I've ever been a part of, ever seen,'' St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Skip Schumaker said as Thursday night turned to the wee hours of Friday morning. "I've got to think it's gotta be the best game in World Series history, in my opinion. I know I'm only 30 years … but this has got to go down in history.''
David Freese drove in the Cardinals' final three runs with his walk-off homer and a two-run triple in the ninth. AP Photo/Jeff Roberson
And this: "I've never seen a baseball game like that before,'' shortstop Daniel Descalso said. "That's got to be the greatest game I've been a part of, seen, heard about. That's got to be one for the record books.''
And this: "We won!'' Cardinals reliever Octavio Dotel yelled as he happily stomped toward his locker. "We f---ing won! It's over! It doesn't matter!''
This is what baseball history looks like:
A Busch Stadium scoreboard that read -- and I still can't quite believe it -- Cardinals 10, Texas Rangers 9.
In 11 wonderfully bizarre, deliciously dramatic innings.
Over a span of 4 hours, 33 minutes.
With five ties and six lead changes, the final one coming on St. Louis native David Freese's no-out, 3-2-count bomb that flew over the center-field wall and plopped, exhausted, onto the batter's eye grass.
A Cardinals fan waved a sign in the stands.
Deep In The Heartbreak of Texas
On the bottom floor of the stadium, Rangers team president Nolan Ryan walked down the corridor and past the closed doors of the Cardinals' clubhouse, where you could hear the faint thumping of music and the occasional scream of happiness. Ryan, whose dark scowl matched the color of his black overcoat, didn't break stride.
What began as a disjointed, error-filled game, ended as something historic. You knew this by the look on the Cardinals' -- and the Rangers' -- faces.
Baseball players are trained, almost conditioned to always look ahead. The next pitch. The next at-bat. The next inning. The next game.
And it's true. All the Cardinals did was extend this World Series to a seventh and final game. They didn't win a championship Thursday night. Instead, they lived to play again Friday.
But the Cardinals couldn't help themselves. As hard as they tried to look forward, they kept peeling back to the bottom of the ninth, when they scored two runs to tie the game. And two more runs to tie it in the bottom of the 10th. And one, oh-my-God run in the bottom of the 11th to win it.
"That was amazing,'' said reliever Jason Motte, one of the combined 15 pitchers used in the game. "We were down, come back. Down, come back. Back and forth. We haven't given up all year. This is what we do.''
They did it late in the season, overcoming a 10½-game deficit to squeeze and squirm their way into the playoffs on the final day. And they did it in the late-October chill, squeezing and squirming their way into a seventh and deciding World Series game.
"Pretty neat, isn't it?'' said Chris Carpenter, presumably the Game 7 starter for the Cardinals. "It all comes down to one game. It's amazing it all comes down to one game.''
It's also amazing that I saw Cardinals fans bolting up the stairs and out of the stadium when the Rangers took a 7-4 lead into the top of the eighth inning. Hadn't they learned anything from the regular season?
The way that we fight, I think that will show you how special this club is.
-- Albert Pujols
"The way that we fight, I think that will show you how special this club is,'' said Albert Pujols, who remains a Cardinal for at least one more day.
It was Pujols whose one-out double in the bottom of the ninth began the first of three late St. Louis rallies. And it was Pujols who pointed two hands at Freese after the young third baseman tripled to right to tie the game, 7-7, three batters later.
In the 10th, with Texas leading, 9-8, and first base open, Texas manager Ron Washington intentionally walked Pujols -- for the fifth time during this Series. Pujols dropped his bat and as he jogged toward first, he looked at the next batter, Lance Berkman, and clapped his hands.
Berkman singled to center to drive in Jon Jay to tie the game.
And in the 11th, Pujols was part of the welcoming committee that greeted Freese after the game-winning dinger.
Asked if the victory had any extra meaning, Pujols shrugged.
"Not really,'' he said. "Because we've been in this situation when we were down. A game is a game.''
Pujols is nuts. This wasn't just a game. It was more than that. It was something you'll tell your kids about. It was something Pujols will tell his kids about.
The Cardinals were down to their final strike twice. Twice.
They won despite committing three errors. Despite leaving 11 men on base. Despite going 3-of-12 with runners in scoring position.
But somehow they regrouped when it mattered most. It helped, a lot, that the Rangers made two errors of their own, left 12 men on base and went 4-of-15 with runners in scoring position. But Washington said it best:
"You have to tip your hat to the Cardinals, the way they fought tonight and took the game from us.''
They did, didn't they? The Cardinals pried Game 6 out of the Rangers' hands.
"We feel like we're playing with house money,'' Cardinals outfielder Allen Craig said.
So for the first time since 2002 and only the fifth time since 1988, a World Series will reach a Game 7. No matter how it shakes out, this Series has lived up to its name.
A fall classic.

My Kiddo and I visited my cousin Michelle and her hubby at their place in Pasig City last Sunday. Although it was raining cats and dogs that night, it didn't stop us from paying them a visit. We rode on my Kiddo's motorcycle that night. It was a promised visit that's why we had to go. I've been letting them down many times before about visiting them. It's also about time for them to meet my boyfriend.
We were a bit drenched when we got to their apartment. Jon and Kiddo talked as soon as we changed to our dry clothes. Like the usual, Michelle and I chatted about friends and our lives and just everything under the moon. LOL! I really thought they're grill my Kiddo but they didn't. :D He's mostly quiet when Jon wasn't around. Michelle asked me why he doesn't talk. I just said he's maybe a little shy since it's their first meet up.
We stayed overnight at their place. Michelle and I continued our chat the next day. I just miss how we talk about everything spontaneously. We used to be like that when we live together in Makati. We very seldom see each other now although we live within Manila.That's why whenever we get the chance to be together, we just chat all the way.

Stephens: CSU needs to figure out how to use Jasen Oden
Colorado State football team not using enough of the junior running back.
Stephens: CSU needs to figure out how to use Jasen Oden Colorado State football team not using enough of the junior running back. Check out this story on coloradoan.com: http://noconow.co/1s2GfZl
Matt L. Stephens, matthewstephens@coloradoan.com Published 8:30 p.m. MT Sept. 14, 2014 | Updated 12:07 a.m. MT Sept. 15, 2014

From first string to third without a chance to prove where he belongs.
Jasen Oden's past month with the CSU football team has been eye opening, to say the least. He went from a high heading into the season opener against the University of Colorado knowing he beat out Alabama transfer Dee Hart as the No. 1 running back. It only took him a series without a touch to be replaced by Hart and, soon after, Treyous Jarrells.
Oden had one carry against the Buffs — an eight-yard gain. The next week at Boise State, he'd already fallen to third string, getting to touch the ball four times, including a touchdown reception. On Saturday, Sept. 13, against UC-Davis, after the game had been decided, the Rams went to him six times. He made the most of the opportunity, rushing for 68 yards and two touchdowns.
Will averaging more than twice as many yards per carry against an NCAA Football Championship Subdivision team than Hart did Saturday (eight carries, 38 yards) move him any further up the depth chart when the Rams play at Boston College in two weeks?
Probably not. And at this point of the season, it probably shouldn't. But Colorado State University needs to find a way to consistently use its most versatile running back.
"It's always nice putting up points, scoring touchdowns and getting in the game, but it's still a little frustrating coming into the first game and being the starting running back then really feeling like you didn't get an opportunity to display your talent," Oden said. "I attack practice. I'm not a cancer, I'm not that player who complains in the locker room. I work hard every day ... but it's frustrating when you don't get in until the third quarter."
Those were Oden's comments before the game against UC-Davis. After it, he was pleased to have performed well and gotten the win. Still, he again mentioned how frustrating the situation is and that Hart has been reminding him to keep his head up and show what he can do in practice.
He's a talented runner, leading the team with 9.2 yards per carry, and the Rams' best pass-blocking back. But when comparing Oden to Hart and Jarrells, all of whom are juniors, he's not as explosive and therefore likely won't be in the backfield as often.
So find another way to use him.
What's the harm in letting Oden help ease the pain of a secondary that, while possibly starting to turn a corner against UC-Davis thanks to young players like Shun Johnson, Tyree Simmons and Kevin Nutt, needs help? Oden had 39 tackles as a sophomore at safety last season, and had he not been there to recover the fumble on the kick return in the New Mexico Bowl against Washington State, the comeback effort might very well have been for naught.
He was a rising star on the Rams' defense a season ago and has made serious inroads with the offense this fall. If he's going to remain the Rams' third-string running back, give him a chance to play both ways.
Oden is too athletic to keep on the sideline.
"It's frustrating to have started against CU and only playing two or three plays, so, I don't know," Oden said in regard to switching back to safety. "I still feel like I could be a good defensive player, but as of right now, I'm wanted to help this team out at running back, so I have to work hard to remain part of the rotation.
"I'm not a bad apple. I won't blame the coaches or complain about reps — I've never been like that. If they feel like sticking with Dee Hart and Treyous is best for the team, so be it. I'm going to stick it out, but I'm going to play every game with a chip on my shoulder."

Top 5 Christmas Movies
Tina Ngo, Staff Writer
With the holidays coming up and the spirit getting brighter and cheerier, people want to get cozy and snuggle up to some amazing Christmas movies that are filled with love, holiday spirit, joy, and of course family. That is what Christmas is all about. So here are the top 5 amazing Christmas movies of all time.
The Grinch is a Christmas classic that everyone enjoys. No one could ever go wrong with this particular movie. It has a funny twist to it because he hates Christmas and essentially wants to steal it away from everyone. His mind, however, does change due to a precious little girl with the jolliest spirit. It's a heartwarming story that tells a tale as old as time that goes to show the power of optimism.
2. Elf
It is a loving movie that really focuses on the concept of fitting in. Buddy wants to fit in but fails to do so because he is both elf and human; he can't seem to fit into either world. The whole movie's idea is the journey of finding where you really and genuinely belong in the world. He's a human that was adopted by Santa's little helpers–elves–but later heads to the city that never sleeps–New York–and meets his biological father. Christmas is about being with your family all while spreading great spirit which was demonstrated.
3. Home Alone
As bratty and young as they come, Kevin starts acting out before a family Christmas trip to Paris. His mom then makes him sleep in the attic and he wishes to have no family. His family accidentally leaves him for the airport by himself, but as gullible as they come, he thought his wish came true. He's no longer giddy when two burglars attempt to rob his home so he has to save his family home. But of course, there's a happy ending for a happy Christmas movie because he's eventually reunited. This is a classic movie and has numerous to its collection.
4. The Polar Express
It tells a tale about a youthful little boy who sees a mystifying train that stops outside of his window. The train is headed to the North Pole and he got invited by the train conductor. He then joins many other little kids on a journey to visit the one and only Santa Claus–they're skeptical. The moral message is believing in the magic of Christmas which is one of the numerous ideas the holidays send out, believing in the magic of Christmas.
5. Good Luck Charlie, It's Christmas!
A classic and loving Disney movie that's all about making it work for the family during the holidays. The infamous Duncan
family is adjusting to Charlie and Toby. The family was supposed to go to Palm Springs, California for Christmas but on the airplane, Teddy gives up her seat to prove to her parents that she can travel alone–quite stubborn. As a great parent, Amy is not able to let her daughter travel alone so she also gets off. Christmas isn't normal in the Duncan family, but they try to make it work. Although the situation is not ideal, they have each other and Christmas is all about family.

In 1968, Stewart Brand pub-lished the first Whole Earth Catalog, a countercultural DIY compendium selling useful products and disseminating information to anyone interested in creating new ways of life. Brand recognised very early on that personal computers held the possibility for great social renovation - an intuition that came to him in 1962, he told me, when he witnessed Stanford computer scientists playing Spacewar. He saw computing as another form of "access to tools". He recently told me that he believes curating has "been democratised by the net, so, in one sense, everybody is curating. If you're writing a blog, it's curating."
In the field of exhibitions, however, digital life's potential is only just beginning to be explored. Paola Antonelli recently curated one of the first large-scale shows online, for MoMA, and websites such as e-flux are exploring the global digital network.
But a generation of younger individuals is beginning to contribute to contemporary art and culture. Born in the age of digitisation, this group, referred to by novelist Douglas Coupland as "the Diamond Generation", shares an irreverence for traditional notions of authorship and cultural heritage, something that is manifested in their work. They have instant knowledge and technological know-how at their fingertips, and they rely on digital social platforms to showcase their new ideas and culturally iconoclastic approaches. The celebrated young artist Ryan Trecartin was quoted as saying: "People born in the 90s are amazing. I can't wait until they all start to make art." The creative climate of 2014 validates Trecartin's enthusiasm, as this new generation starts to enter the stage with a fresh set of radical and compelling artistic positions.
The year 1989 was marked by several paradigm-shifting events.
Although the collapse of the BerlinWall heralded the beginning of the post-Cold War period, TiananmenSquare became marred by studentprotest and mass bloodshed. The Russian army left Afghanistanafter a nine-year occupation, and the first Global Positioning System satellite started orbiting the Earth. Perhaps most significantly, Tim Berners-Lee wrote a proposal in which he outlined his idea for what would soon become the world wide web. We are now seeing the beginningstages of the maturation of the first generation who never experienced a world before these historic developments. Could there be some connection between such seminal global events and the creative production of these young artists, writers, activists, architects, film-makers, scientists and entrepreneurs?
Alongside curator Simon Castets, I have begun an investigation charting the work of those born in or after 1989. 89plus, as we call it, is a form of international research that follows the development of this generational shift through various platforms, including conferences, books, periodicals and exhibitions. One of the most recent 89plus projects was a series of interviews at the 2014 Design Indaba Conference, where we presented a whole new generation of South African digital artists. The series featured innovators born in 1989 and after, working within fields as diverse as the visual arts, music and social activism in Africa, a continent whose population's median age is the youngest globally.
The South African edition of 89plus brought to light the voices of artists who are only just beginning to be heard, speaking about the need to control their own storytelling. These young artists have a renewed and imaginative sense of self and a will to resist erasure and silencing from the grand narrative of history.
This is what makes art essential and important. It makes clear that change is possible -- through empathy and courageous acts of speaking out. This 89plus generation has grown up in an entirely new world. Perhaps from them, we can learn something about our future.

It's nice to know that celebrities look forward to holidays just like the rest of us.
After clinching his second Wimbledon title against Czech Thomas Berdych, Rafael Nadal is excited for his summer holidays in Mallorca.
The world's top-ranked tennis star will spend all of August relaxing on the island that is both his home and his ideal holiday escape.
"I have a completely normal life there…I go to the supermarket, I go to a party…I am happy to pose for the odd photo but generally I just relax," said Nadal.
Nadal will certainly be doing many of these completely normal activities with his childhood sweetheart Xisca, who was at the match Sunday supporting her boyfriend.
Read more here from the Olive Press about Xisca, the local Mallorca 'beauty' who is essential to keeping the 'beast' of Nadal grounded.
