Traction. The outsole of the Nike LeBron 14 Low features a digital traction pattern with deep flex grooves. It has a good grip on the court, and it supports the multidirectional footwork of the wearer.
Length and Width. The Nike LeBron XIV Low comes in the standard length and width. There are claims that the shoe runs wide, and wearers with wider feet are advised to go true to size. As for new buyers with normal sizes, they may want to go half a size down.
Lockdown. The Nike LeBron 14 Low has the traditional lace-up closure. The circular shoelaces can be adjusted to obtain a snug fit. The one-to-one fit of the shoe is supported by the Flywire technology, which provides containment and support to the foot in the same way that metal cables provides strength to a suspension bridge.
The upper of the Nike LeBron 14 Low is made of woven fabric in the forefoot and mesh in the rear panel. The fabric has leather overlays stitched on it to keep the shoe durable. Beneath the upper is the neoprene underlay that provides comfort to the foot. The mesh in the rear has perforations to help wick away moisture. The inner of the shoe has an Achilles pad that delivers support and cushioning to the foot.
The Nike LeBron XIV Low is a one-bootie construction that comes in numerous colorways. Depending on the colorway, the outsole rubber is either solid or translucent. The remarkable Nike Swoosh is found on the heel counter and lateral side of the shoe. To signify that the shoe model is part of LeBron's signature line, his logo is found on the aglet, pull tab, and outsole. A NIKE ZOOM callout is embossed on the heel counter.
The Nike LeBron XIV Low is considered a good-looking shoe that deserves to be released in different colorways.

'Cannot be expected to participate in' impeachment inquiry: White House to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
Democrats have requested testimony, documents as part of an impeachment inquiry

The White House sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday calling into question what it referred to as "points of irregularity in the investigation."
In the letter, attorneys for the White House write to House Democrats that, "Given that your inquiry lacks any legitimate constitutional foundation, any pretense of fairness, or even the most elementary due process protections, the Executive Branch cannot be expected to participate in it."
Among the arguments, the White House raised concerns that House Republicans are unable to call witnesses as part of the growing impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump. In almost all congressional proceedings, the rules are set by the majority party including calling of witnesses and hearings.
However, the letter stopped short of demanding Pelosi call a vote of the House.
She responded with a statement on Tuesday night.
"This letter is manifestly wrong, and is simply another unlawful attempt to hide the facts of the Trump Administration's brazen efforts to pressure foreign powers to intervene in the 2020 elections," Pelosi wrote in her statement. "Despite the White House's stonewalling, we see a growing body of evidence that shows that President Trump abused his office and violated his oath to 'protect, preserve and defend the Constitution.'"

Democratic leaders of several House committees have been issuing requests and subpoenas calling for documents and testimony from several administration and State Department officials as part of their ongoing investigation into whether or not to bring articles of impeachment against the president. The impeachment efforts were spurred by a whistleblower complaint about a conversation between Trump and Ukraine President Voldymyr Zelenskiy which alleged improper conduct by the president.
The Trump administration has been actively blocking testimony since the start of the probe.
House Democrats issued subpoenas for Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and five other State Department officials in late September requesting documents related to the department's role in facilitating meetings between Rudy Giuliani, the president's personal attorney, and Zelenskiy. Pompeo responded to the request in a letter stating his intention to block the testimony.

Despite Pompeo's objection, Kurt Volker, the former special envoy for Ukraine, was deposed behind closed doors last week. Republicans have cited the committee's failure to release the entirety of Volker's testimony as a reason they oppose further depositions taking place.
In response to Pompeo, Democratic Chairmen Adam Schiff, Eliot Engel and Elijah Cummings wrote that "the failure of any of these Department employees to appear for their scheduled depositions shall constitute evidence of obstruction of the House's impeachment inquiry."
Giuliani is also the subject of a subpoena for documents, which he was compelled to produce to Congress by Oct. 15. He has not yet responded to the subpoenas and cited "substantial constitutional and legal issues" that must be considered before he decides how to respond.

A Team of Entrepreneurs
Posted by Conrad Stolze | May 14, 2012 | Department Profiles, Education, Government Regulations | 0
Larry Riley, CBET, performs a PM inspection on an infant incubator.
The clinical engineering team of FirstHealth of the Carolinas, Pinehurst, NC, has two philosophies guiding its activities: entrepreneurship and teamwork. Though they are seemingly conflicting, the two are actually a perfect combination for achieving the quality and service goals of the department, which are high.
FirstHealth takes quality seriously, making it part of its motto: "Working together, first in quality, first in health." The organization publishes data on quality indicators and patient satisfaction on its Web site, easily accessible from the home page. They include the hospitals' objectives for care, which essentially aim to match the quality achieved in the top 10% of hospitals analyzed in the comparison.
By focusing on the individual biomed as an entrepreneur and on the group as a connected team, the clinical engineering department has been able to support this effort. A restructuring of workflow guided by these principles has improved service and satisfaction. Patients are safe, clinicians are happy, and the clinical engineering team enjoys a positive work environment.
The evidence is visible in customer surveys the department routinely conducts on its own. "By and large, the results are always positive," says Brian C. Lefler, CBET, FirstHealth's director of biomedical services.
The high satisfaction can be attributed to the service delivered, the attitude presented, and the relationships built. Personality is as important as skill at FirstHealth. "You can train someone to work on the equipment, but you can't train someone to be able to talk to people," says Greg Williams, imaging engineer.
And there are a lot of people to talk to. FirstHealth services 15 counties in the mid-Carolinas. Three hospitals—Moore Regional Hospital in Pinehurst, Richmond Memorial Hospital in Rockingham, and Montgomery Memorial Hospital in Troy—offer a total of 582 beds. The network also includes the Reid Heart Center, a rehabilitation center, three sleep disorders centers, three dental clinics, seven family care centers, six fitness centers, a hospice program, home health services, critical care transport, and EMS and medical transport services.
The biomed team handles equipment at the hospitals and for the EMS and transport service divisions, as well as a number of outside clients. The total inventory is roughly 11,500. The team is comprised of 12 professionals: seven biomedical equipment technicians (BMETs) based at Moore, another technician at Richmond, two imaging engineers, also based at Moore, Lefler, and an office coordinator.
The diverse group operates well as a team, even sharing outside interests. "We believe that you can get a lot more accomplished with teamwork," says Bryan Wallace, imaging engineer.
Individual Ownership, Satisfied Customers
L-R: Bryan Wallace and Greg Williams test the wall bucky operation of a digital radiographic system.
The irony is that the teamwork occurs so smoothly because the biomeds are encouraged to act as entrepreneurs. Each technician has primary equipment or departments for which he or she is responsible, as well as secondary segments assigned as backup. "There are some smaller departments where there may not be a backup person assigned, and we fall back to whoever can handle it if the primary technician isn't available," Lefler says.
Prior to restructuring to a department-based workload, the team operated on an on-call basis. "Whoever was on call for the week took the corrective calls, and so depending on who that person was, that was who the departments saw and who the face of biomed was that week," says Larry Riley, CBET, a FirstHealth BMET based at Moore Regional Hospital.
With the new work assignment method, each technician is completely responsible for all of the equipment in his or her primary departments, both preventive and corrective maintenance. As a result, departments now have a consistent face (or two) to represent the biomedical engineering department. Customers know who to call, how to reach them, and what to expect.
At the same time, the technicians develop a more personal relationship with the departments, which has a beneficial impact on service. "Communication and information exchange is a lot easier, and this contributes to the positive results on customer surveys," Riley says.
The advantages make up for the extra managerial work involved, according to Lefler. He instituted the structural change when he first came on board and, initially, spent a lot of time matching interests and backgrounds with departments to evenly divide the workload. "In some departments, we had one technician who already had a good rapport, so they were a natural fit. But, there were areas that were not as popular and just had to be assigned," Lefler says.
Lefler continues to monitor assignments to ensure that the experience is spread around the team and the workload is balanced. "It's a lot of data analysis, but the benefits outweigh the drawbacks," Lefler says, noting ownership is the biggest benefit. "When you assign work on a departmental basis, you entitle that technician to become something like an entrepreneur," he says.
Scheduling Freedom, Balanced Workloads
Matthew Hunsucker evaluates a video fiberscope.
The entrepreneurship stems from the ownership. Each biomed is responsible not only for all maintenance related to their primary equipment but also for scheduling that maintenance. The PM calendar is created with an eye toward balancing the workload throughout the year and to the individual's personal preferences. The effort, completed collaboratively between each technician and Lefler, involves utilizing information from the team's clinical equipment management system and paper plotting.
The first step is to print out the PM requirements for all of the equipment under a technician's purview. Each device is given a rating to indicate the PM frequency. The technician then decides when the PMs will be due. For instance, if the biomed knows he will be taking vacation in July, he can schedule a lighter month in terms of PM deadlines.
Everything is scheduled in this way, including the outside clients, clinics, and EMS and transport systems. "We have to visit the EMS bases twice a year, so we completed PMs at the regional transport bases in January and February and will do those for two of the EMS bases in March and two in April," Riley says.
The only challenge is to ensure coverage while out at the sites—but with a backup to call on, the challenge is less severe. And, knowing that he'll be out in the field, Riley can avoid scheduling a lot of other PMs at the hospital in the same month.
The imaging team works in a similar fashion, splitting their workload up by facilities and quarters: one hospital per the first three quarters and the rest of the customers in the fourth. Of course, priority goes to corrective maintenance. "When you have an x-ray room down, you don't have another to put in its place while you're working on it. So if a machine is down, the PM on another machine will have to be set aside," Williams says.
Managing Resources, Choosing Contracts
The equipment at FirstHealth is a blend of old and new. Clinical engineering will provide input to administration regarding end-of-life equipment issues and capital investment, but if resources are limited, the team will use third-company refurbished parts to keep older devices running.
Like clinical/biomedical engineering departments at many hospitals, the team aims to cover as much in-house as possible, as long as it makes fiscal sense. "We look at how much the contract is going to cost versus how much it costs to cover in-house," Riley says. "Sometimes, it's pretty close. If it's going to take up too much of our time for the same cost, our time can be better utilized working on something else."
The team will consider all of its options. "If we don't do a contract, can we do it ourselves? And if we can do it ourselves, are there any local third parties we can utilize, or can we use a manufacturer on a time-and-materials basis?" Lefler asks.
In most cases, the department has decided they can take on the work. Its main service contracts cover large analyzers in the clinical laboratories, CT, MR, and the cath labs, though Williams and Wallace have been looking into taking on CT. "CT is pretty much the same animal as any other imaging field, but MR is a particular, specific field that we really haven't had any training in," Williams says.
Constant Training, Cross-Training
Marty Davis completes the reassembly of an ultrasound system after repair and testing.
The imaging team does have some coursework lined up, but it has had a difficult time finding the time to take advantage of it. "The hospital is definitely behind us and wants us to be trained," Williams says.
The "gold standard" for training is vendor schools negotiated into the acquisition price. "But that's not always feasible, so we have utilized third-party training quite a bit," Lefler says, citing ultrasound machines, contrast injectors, and flexible scopes as examples of third-party training.
Cross-training is another excellent solution for appropriate equipment. "It has always been a policy in the shop that only those who have been trained by the manufacturer can work on life-saving equipment," says Marty Davis, the FirstHealth BMET based at Richmond Memorial. However, devices with lower risk profiles can be taught through cross-training.
Recently, the team sent a few technicians for training on a new telemetry system. When they returned, they shared basic information learned in the class with everyone. "They gave us training that did not include everything they had learned, but enough so that we can respond if called in at night," Davis says. "We know how to get to the service menus, reconfigure the boards, and change out a CPU." With the telemetry system throughout the hospital, everyone is expected to have related equipment in his/her areas and will, therefore, benefit from the knowledge.
For similar reasons, most of the team has also had some sort of IT training, at least one basic introduction to networking course. Some have completed more formal coursework and obtained certifications, such as Network+ (covering networking) and A+—proving competence in areas such as installation, preventive maintenance, networking, security, and troubleshooting. "The goal is to get as many people A+ and Network+ certified as possible," Lefler says.
The education is useful in a world where equipment is increasingly networked. "A lot of our patient monitoring is starting to run alongside the hospital's standard IT network, so we have to connect with our IT department more now than we ever have," Riley says.
Teaming with IT
There are few barriers to the cross-departmental collaboration, particularly since both groups report to the chief information officer or CIO, a recent change in response to administrative restructuring. The clinical engineering department used to report to the vice president of professional services. "[The new arrangement] was a natural fit and made a lot of sense for obvious reasons," Lefler says.
The change was seamless from the team's perspective. "We didn't really notice any changes," Riley says. The two groups had already been working together on various projects. One such effort involved a new monitor installation. The biomedical department worked with IT and Cisco Systems Inc, Torrance, Calif, to enable the system to run wirelessly on the hospital network when patients are under transport. "If it's hardwired, it runs on the monitor network," Lefler says.
The unique solution allowed the hospital to avoid having to pay for and install a redundant wireless network to handle the monitors. "It was a nice way to save money and a nice way to partner with IT," Lefler says.
Lefler also worked with IT to set up a dashboard tool for the department's computerized maintenance management system (CMMS). The dashboard displays key performance indicators in real time using easy-to-understand graphics. "I'm logged in every day and can see things like the PM status for the month or open work orders. I don't have to go into the CMMS, run reports, and analyze data," Lefler says.
Constant Monitoring, Consistent Service
L-R: Greg Curtis, Donna Caviness, Baxter Williams, and Brian Lefler discuss a work order.
A quick glance at the dashboard lets Lefler know how the team is doing, but communication is also key. The team meets regularly on Tuesday mornings via conference call (Davis does not make the 32-mile drive to Moore from Richmond) and once every few months face-to-face.
During those meetings, information is exchanged regarding upcoming projects, particularly so that those with backup and on-call assignments remain up-to-date. "Typically, they last about 30 minutes," Davis says.
Team members will often also meet with Lefler individually on a monthly basis to review their work and customer feedback. Generally, the news is good, and if for some reason it is not, it is immediately investigated and easy to track.
In the past, the team would send out annual surveys to customer departments for input on service and quality, but this type of program can mean the survey responder has forgotten details (including who the biomed was) or that the response is too late to matter. Now, the office coordinator sends out surveys monthly.
Two work orders are picked at random for every technician ("we're working to automate this step," Lefler says) and sent to the customer along with a four-question survey: was the response timely; was the technician courteous; did he fix the problem; and overall, what did you think. Replies are rated on a four-point scale from strongly agree to strongly disagree.
The data is stored in a spreadsheet so that individual technicians can be properly evaluated. "We don't get a lot of negative feedback. Everything has been very positive for the past several years," Riley says.
If there is a problem, the issue can be easily researched and resolved immediately. Here again, ownership is key. "Everybody is enabled and expected to manage their customer. If the customer is unhappy, the technician is responsible for repairing the situation," Lefler says. "The survey is just a mechanism to make sure that everything is going well."
Happy customers have led to outside work. What started as a joint venture of FirstHealth's has expanded into a small client base for the biomed team. In fact, some clients first reached out to FirstHealth when they needed a more immediate response than their manufacturer could provide. "We've got several doctors' offices and surgical clinics very nearby. They can call us, and we can show up pretty quickly, usually within a day, sometimes within an hour," Riley says.
Though the program does not generate a large amount of revenue, it does show a profit. However, the bigger benefit is the marketing value, Lefler notes, saying, "It has put FirstHealth in a positive light."
The clients benefit from faster service. If any of the biomeds run into trouble, they know they can call anyone on the team for help. "If I'm on call and am struggling with a piece of equipment, I can call the person whose department it is, and they can talk me through it. You hate to do it, but everyone understands—we work together," Davis says.
The combination of teamwork and entrepreneurship makes the FirstHealth clinical engineering department a responsive, consistent, and high-quality team as well as a unique one. Everyone values this quality, from the customers to the biomeds, including Williams, who shared, "It's a great working environment. I've worked at several places, and I'm enjoying this a lot."

Why did Vinnie determine to only communicate her optimism - what was she trying to hide behind, or hide from herself, by choosing not to dwell on the many obstacles in her way?
Which is the true love story of the book - the story of Vinnie and Barnum, Vinnie and Charles, Vinnie and Minnie, or Vinnie and the public?
Sylvia points out a photograph in the window of a store. It's of PT Barnum. "Really?" I was surprised and, I confess, a little disappointed; the man in the photograph looked so very... ordinary. Curly hair parted on the side, a wide forehead, a somewhat bulbous nose, an unremarkable smile. He resembled any man I might have passed in the street; he certainly did not resemble a world-famous impresario. Colonel Wood, I had to admit, looked much more the part than did this man (p. 78). Vinnie is used to people making immediate assumptions about her based on her appearance. What assumptions, though, does Vinnie make about people for the same reasons? Are preconceived notions about people something that is ingrained in us?
Toward the end of her stage career, Vinnie asks herself, "had I ever been simply Lavinia Warren Stratton? To anyone - even myself?" (p. 363) Do you think Vinnie chose this life for herself, or did she essentially hop on a ride and couldn't get off? Was the price she had to pay for her fame and fortune her own chosen identity?


WASHINGTON, Feb. 3, 2014 — They've alleviated pain, saved crops and blasted into space, to name just a few of their long list of accomplishments. The American Chemical Society's Reactions YouTube series (formerly Bytesize Science) is celebrating Black History Month with a new video featuring five black chemists who changed the world. The video is available at http://youtu.be/Im_17N_JVAE.
The video, produced with the National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers (NOBCChE), highlights the work of icons like astronaut and chemical engineer Mae Jemison, the first woman of color to go into space, as well as Percy Julian, a pioneer in synthesizing materials from plants, including a glaucoma drug from beans, a firefighting foam from soy protein and an arthritis treatment still used to treat millions of patients today.


A conversation with Whitman's Renée Archibald and visiting artist David Thomson, whose piece titled Awkward Beauty will be performed as part of ACTUALLY JUST KIND OF AND ALMOST.
Renée: Can you tell me about how you developed movement for your piece, Awkward Beauty?
David: I was intrigued by the perception of beauty in dance and how that becomes an unconscious value system that affects our interpretation of how and what we see. This echoed my thoughts on how children live in their bodies and how they discover their physical capabilities. I have always been drawn to watching their uninhibited play; how we see the beauty in this "innocence" and their sometimes disorganized freedom of movement. How they take joy in the simple act of running, falling, shifting their weight, following and responding to others in made up games. The animal playing with their most basic tool.
I worked with various improvisational strategies to allow the dancers to generate their own movements. "Stumbling" was one of the ideas that we worked with; the notion of being off balance, playing with momentum, falling and recovering. Based on this idea, they created phrase material that I edited and combined to make duets and solos. In addition, I generated movement that they could manipulate to create their own phrase material for use in a structured improvisation.
Renée: I had the opportunity to work with Megan, Erin, Tyle, and Haley, the dancers in Awkward Beauty, in the interim between your two week residency and this final tech week. I was surprised to find that there were several sections that are improvised based on set movement material. What kind of directives did you give the dancers to guide their choice-making during these structured improvisations?
Renée: I've seen you perform in many other choreographers' work. Currently you're touring with Tere O'Conner, whose recent works are, to overly simplify, coming to the surface as what we might consider "pure dance." I also recently saw you perform in Alain Buffard's work Baron Samadi, which requires you to sing, dance, and speak. These elements are integrated into a contemporary performance work that one wouldn't necessarily label as dance, yet movement and dance are essential to the work. In your own work, do you draw a distinction between "pure dance" and performance?
David: I understand your distinction, but those terms get blurred for me unless I am speaking about specific artists. When I think of "pure dance" in my personal history I tend to think of Trisha Brown, where the movement and structure was the message. Tere's work can also be seen as "pure dance" since his concepts of movement and structure are a significant aspect of the work, but underneath he employs other theatrical systems that he asks the dancers to consider internally rather than overtly. So in a sense there is performance work happening in his work as well, though much more discreetly.
At this point, I don't do "pure dance" in my own work, unless I am purposefully improvising along those lines. My interest has been in repurposing and recontextualizing task-oriented material and structures to find more porous interpretations for the viewer and performer. For me, task-based structures help locate the mundane, quotidian moments and actions that can speak to the oddity, frailty and strength of the human condition. My nature tends towards a certain sense of theater influenced by ideas surrounding the abstraction of narratives and sometimes the use of text.
Renée: Whose work is really interesting to you right now?
David: I continue to love some of the old classic works of Pina Bausch such as 1984 and Palermo, Palermo, where she orchestrates an amazing international cast of performers to create these choreographic dreamscapes that break the theater and become immersive experiences of human nature and absurdity. I'm always intrigued by the mind of Ralph Lemon and how he fuses the lines of visual art, dance and performance. Other artists include Okwui Okpokwasili (viscerally arresting work), Dean Moss (intense and unusual structures), Daria Faïn (deeply researched work with language, sound and movement), 600 Highwaymen (their use of regular people within compelling performance structures) and a number of others, too many to mention here. Oh, I recently saw Xavier LeRoy's Retrospective at MoMA. It was a daily 6 hour installation/exhibition lasting 2 months with rotating performers moving and verbally engaging the visitors. I was fascinated by how he infused the dance history of the performers into his own history, allowing them to construct/recreate/interpret their lineage in relation to his own history. Informative and compelling.
His own work has been presented by The Kitchen, Danspace Project at St Mark's Church, Dance Theater Workshop, Roulette and Movement Research at Judson Church. Thomson has been Artist-in-Residence at Dance Theater Workshop, Movement Research, Baryshnikov Arts Center, Gibney Dance Center, LMCC Governors Island and The Invisible Dog. Thomson is a Bessie award-winning artist for Sustained Achievement (2001) and as part of the creative team for Bebe Miller's Landing/Place (2006). He is a 2012 USA Ford Fellow, a 2013 NYFA Fellow in Choreography and a 2014 MacDowell Fellow. An ongoing advocate for dance and the empowerment of artists, he was one of the founding members of Dancer's Forum and has served on the boards of Bebe Miller/Gotham Dance, Dance Theater Workshop and presently New York Live Arts.

Fall Television Preview - 1977
Fall is almost here, and that means it's time for the new Fall line-up of television shows. Today, we'll be looking back at TV Guide's "Fall Preview" issue, from 1977. That's 45 years ago, this month!
We will begin with the Saturday morning children's programming. I don't really remember any of these NBC shows. I guess I was already too old to be watching Saturday morning cartoons. Although....are we really ever too old for cartoons?
I looked up The Adventures of Muhammad Ali. It was cancelled after just 13 episodes. According to The Encyclopedia of American Animated Television Shows, "It was perhaps the most clumsily animated, written, and acted series in television animation history." There are several episodes available to watch on YouTube, but unless you are into self-torture, I would recommend passing on them. If anyone is morbidly curious, and wants to watch just the show's opening segment, you can click below. The music is kind of "disco-y."
ABC's Saturday morning schedule included some familiar old faces, and introduced some new ones. The Wonder Twins were making their debut in The All-New Superfriends Hour. And who knew that Bigfoot had his own show? Or that he raised a kid who was lost in the woods, and together they fought crime and aliens?
The Bigfoot and Wildboy show was created by Sid and Marty Kroft and according to Wikipedia, was inspired by the two-part episode of The Six Million Dollar Man, in which Steve Austin meets Bigfoot. Here is just the intro/outro for the show, but there are full episodes available on YouTube. If you ask me, Bigfoot looks a little bit like Chewbacca. Maybe they should give him his own "land" at Disneyland. They could build it right next to the already existing Wookie World, and call it Bigfoot Bay. Or at the very least, give him his own ride at Knott's Berry Farm! ;-)
CBS was also featuring some old favorites, and introducing some new characters, as well.
The Robonic Stooges featured The Three Stooges characters, as crime-fighting cyborg superheros. HUH??? It was animated by Hanna-Barbera, and was just one of several segments of a show called, The Skatebirds. The Skatebirds was similar to The Banana Splits show, and featured actors dressed in bird costumes (and one cat), on roller skates. The name of the cat character was "Scat Cat," and was voiced by Scatman Crothers. Seven years earlier, Mr. Crothers had voiced a character with the exact same name, for Walt Disney Production's The Aristocats. I'm a little surprised that Disney didn't try to sue Hanna-Barbera into the middle of the next century. Here's the show's intro:
Moving away from Saturday morning cartoons.....the 1977 Emmy Award's were airing on Sunday, but the night before, David Sheehan was interviewing some of the Emmy "hopefuls." (Fonzie and Farrah alert!)
Welcome Back Kotter was beginning it's 3rd season, with "The Sweathogs" entering 11th grade and reminiscing about their previous two years (seasons) in high school. And The Bionic Woman (Lindsay Wagner) was being given a new crime-fighting partner, "Max" the Bionic dog, for her 3rd and final season.
The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries was starting it's 2nd season with a visit to Transylvania, and some cameos by a few classic Universal Monsters. The show was a Universal Production, and the title characters "lived" on the Universal Studios backlot, in houses located on the famous "Colonial Street/Wisteria Lane."
And Steve Austin was battling sharks in another Universal television production, The Six Million Dollar Man. Gee, he sure had his hands full all of the time. When it wasn't Bigfoot, it was Jaws, or he was battling Fembots with Jamie Sommers!
Apparently, it was "Dracula Night" on television. The Wonderful World of Disney was showing a repeat of their 1973 made-for-television movie, The Mystery In Dracula's Castle. The movie featured Johnny Whitaker and Scott Kolden as brothers. Incidentally, they also worked together in Sid and Marty Kroft's Sigmund and the Seas Monsters," that same year.
The 1977 Emmy Awards show was being hosted by Robert Blake, and Angie Dickinson.
A special TV Guide "Close Up" listed the Emmy nominees:
The Mike Douglas Show and Dinah! were "interview shows" which ran daily, Monday through Friday. Bruce Jenner (who is most famous for co-starring in the film, Can't Stop The Music, with The Village People) was guest-hosting The Mike Douglas Show this week, along with his wife (no not that one...the first one). And Betty White was being interviewed by Dinah Shore.
NBC weatherman (at the time) Pat Sajak, was hosting a special "Fall Preview" show. And the local channel, KTTV, was airing the fourth and final installment of the "Nixon/Frost" Watergate interviews.
A new show, Young Dan'l Boone, was premiering that night, but was canceled after only 4 episodes aired. The Betty White Show was also new, and lasted for only 14 episodes. Maude was beginning it's 7th and final season. And Patrick McGoohan was starring in a new show, Rafferty, which was canceled after only 10 episodes.
Little House On The Prairie was beginning it's 4th season:
On Tuesday, a special one-hour Happy Days episode was kicking off a 5th season, with Fonzie, the Cunningham's, and friends, vacationing in Hollywood. In part two of the episode, Fonzie jumps over a shark while on water skis. That particular episode of Happy Days is what eventually inspired the phrase, "Jumping the shark."
Three's Company was beginning it's 2nd season (and it's first full season, after being a mid-season replacement in the Spring). And Soap was debuting this week. The reason the ad states, "You've heard about them for weeks....." is because the show was considered to be very controversial (at the time), due to it's subject matter. Multiple religious groups attempted to get the show canceled, before it even aired. The show did debut as scheduled, and lasted four seasons. The first season's episodes all began with a pre-show warning, about Soap's "adult content."
The Richard Pryor Show was another controversial show, at the time. It was canceled after just four episodes, probably because it was scheduled opposite the very successful ABC shows, Happy Days, and Laverne and Shirley.
CBS was airing a "made-for-television" Spider-Man movie. The movie was actually released theatrically internationally, and it also acted as a pilot for a series which debuted in the Spring of 1978.
Eight Is Enough was starting it's 2nd season. (Hey, I buy Dick Van Patten's pet food, "Natural Balance," for my cats!)
Cheryl Ladd was being added to the cast of Charlie's Angels, following Farrah Fawcett's departure after only one season.
Does anyone remember The Gong Show?
The Waltons was beginning it's 6th season, and it's first following the departure of Richard Thomas as "John-Boy." Welcome Back Kotter was airing it's second episode within the same week. This one was an hour-long, and had Mr. Kotter's wife delivering twins.
The new series, CHiPs, was debuting. That "clip-out" survey is interesting. I don't remember seeing anything like that in TV Guide previously, or since.
Barney Miller was starting it's 4th season, and Carter Country and The Redd Foxx Comedy Hour were both debuting.
Peter Frampton was hosting the Rock Music Awards. The ad lists Cher as a "special guest," but the actual listing names them both as "performing hosts."
The Making of Star Wars, a "Stellar Spectacular," was being hosted by C-3P0 and R2-D2. Star Wars had premiered in movie theaters, just four months earlier.
Lynda Carter was returning for a 2nd season of "Wonder Woman," after a retooling and renaming of the show.
Sanford Arms was a spin-off of Sanford and Son, following Redd Foxx's departure from the original show. The new series was canceled after only 4 episodes.
Chico And The Man was returning for it's 4th and final season, following the death of 22 year-old Freddie Prinze ("Chico"), earlier in the year.
The made-for-television movie, Curse Of The Black Widow, was airing on "The ABC Friday Night Movie." It had an all-star cast; Patty Duke Astin, Donna Mills, Tony Franciosa, June Lockhart, Vic Morrow, June Allyson, Sid Caesar, Max Gail, and Roz Kelly (Pinky Tuscadero!). The director was Dan Curtis, who directed the TV series, Dark Shadows, and also the 1975 TV movie, Trilogy of Terror.
I was getting ready to say it's too bad that made-for-television movies like this can't be watched today, but I decided to check YouTube, and there it was! Here is just the minute-long promo for The ABC Friday Night Movie:
For anyone who is interested, here is the entire movie. I just watched it for the first time and thought it was pretty good, as far as 1970s horror films go. And here's something interesting.....at the 21:30 mark, there is a chase scene through "Enchanted Village." This small "amusement" park was located in Buena Park, CA, and originally opened as "Japanese Village and Deer Park." It had a change of ownership, theme, and name, in 1976, and ended up closing altogether in the Fall of 1977.
Logan's Run was debuting this week. The series was based on the successful 1976 film of the same name. Gregory Harrison was playing "Logan 5." He would later go on to play "Gonzo" in seven seasons of Trapper John, M.D. Heather Menzies was playing "Jessica 6." As a teenager, she had been cast in the role of Louisa von Trapp, in The Sound of Music. Logan's Run was canceled after 14 episodes.
Oh, and James Garner was back for his 4th season on The Rockford Files.
Jack Klugman was returning for his 2nd season as a medical examiner, in "Quincy."
Every year, the "Fall Preview" edition of TV Guide would have a special section, with descriptions of all the upcoming new shows. Here are the descriptions of the 22 new shows, debuting in the Fall of 1977. Some were having their premieres that week (as seen earlier in the post). Others would be debuting in the coming weeks. Many of these will leave you scratching your head and saying, "Gee, I don't remember that one!"
The Love Boat soon will be making another run...... It had started out with three separate television "pilot" movies in 1976 and 1977, prior to becoming a regular series in the Fall of 1977. And now, 45 years later, The Love Boat is returning to TV (next month), as a "reality" dating show. I'll pass!
Lou Grant starred Ed Asner, in the title role. His character had started out on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and after 7 seasons, spun-off with a show of his own which lasted 5 seasons.
Patrick Duffy was starring in The Man From Atlantis. This was just one year before he would be cast as Bobby Ewing, in the long-running nighttime soap opera, Dallas.
I hope everyone enjoyed this time traveling visit to 1977's "Television-land"!
****Update - 9-20-22****
I'm adding this listing from the same issue of TV Guide, to show that the Disney film, Mystery In Dracula's Castle was actually being shown on Disney's anthology program called, World of Disney. Over the years, that show has also been called, Walt Disney's Disneyland, Walt Disney Presents, Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color, The Wonderful World of Disney, Disney's Wonderful World, Walt Disney, The Disney Sunday Movie, and The Magical World of Disney. I guess "the people in charge" could never make up their minds about a title, and just stick with it!

Speaking Truth about Our Bodies & Sexuality
During political season it seems truth-telling quickly moves out of fashion. All that matters is persuasion - even if it includes lying. Yet, when it comes to sexuality, the Christian church has done its own share of spreading misinformation as gospel truth - even though there is no science behind it or even if science can document its error. For example, the church has said "If you have had multiple sexual partners this negatively impacts your sexuality later." and, "If you don't have sex before marriage, your sexual happiness in marriage will be greater." and, "God only made two genders." and, "If you enjoy self-pleasure, this is detrimental to your relationship." and, "If you are attracted to people of the same gender, it is a "lifestyle" and behavioral choice." and, "Having more than one sexual partner will destroy your relationship." and, "A well-adjusted relationship depends on the female being in a "lesser" role." Of course, none of this is supported by scientific research nor does it have any basis in anything Jesus would have believed, said, or taught. So it is obvious we need people to be educated in a sex-positive Christianity that is science-friendly and grounded in the gospel principles of sexual justice rather than simple obedience to Greco-Roman cultural rules about sexuality.
I have been a voice "crying in the wilderness" on this topic for a number of years now so I am turning my attention to those who are behind me on life's journey who can teach people that a sex-positive view of Christianity is possible. In fact, I think it is absolutely imperative if we are to heal the incredible sexual wounding of 2000 years of repressive lies told by the church.
This summer the Incarnation Institute for Sex & Faith is ironing out the details for a "Training the Trainer" weekend and hosting a trial run with specially selected sexologists and pastors. Our plan in the future is to make such training publicly available. If, like me, you see the importance of setting the record straight, (and a lot of people would have BIG problems with such a goal), join us and make a donation to the Incarnation Institute for Sex & Faith. www.incarnationinstitute.org
Remember, according to Jesus it is the truth that shall set us free! (John 8:32)

Rapids In Yellowstone by Thomas Levine - 10.000" x 6.625"
Rapids In Yellowstone metal print by Thomas Levine. Bring your artwork to life with the stylish lines and added depth of a metal print. Your image gets printed directly onto a sheet of 1/16" thick aluminum. The aluminum sheet is offset from the wall by a 3/4" thick wooden frame which is attached to the back. The high gloss of the aluminum sheet complements the rich colors of any image to produce stunning results.
Excellent capture Thomas. The colors are awesome.. L&F..
Thanks so much, R A W M!
L&F O utstanding! The rush of thewater is awesome. I like the perspective in this one. Beautiful color and details.
Thank you, Linda! It's a beautiful area!
Thank you, Jennifer! I was on a low bridge that I laid down on to get the low perspective. I also went with a longer exposure so to get the water to look more dramatic. No tripod, but I set the camera on the bridge for stability, as long as no one walked on it.
Sourav, thank you for the comment!
Thanks again for another nice comment!
Laurie, thank you for the comment!
Such a beautiful scene, Thomas!
I found this rushing river on the Montana side of Yellowstone National Park. It was during sunset which presented me with nice shadows and highlights.

Laureato a Parma in Medicina e Chirurgia, fu allievo del Professor Luigi Migone. Nel 1969 Cambi si trasferì a Seattle e divenne uno dei collaboratori, presso il Centro di Malattie Renali dell'Università di Washington, del Professor Belding Hibbard Scribner. Il Centro di Seattle all'epoca era all'avanguardia sul trattamento delle malattie renali, poiché l'emodialisi veniva applicata non solo ai pazienti sofferenti di insufficienza renale acuta, ma anche ai malati cronici.

Maturata quest'esperienza Cambi ritornò in Italia. Nel 1972 divenne professore associato all'Università di Parma.

Cambi intuì che la dialisi "breve", cioè applicata con lo schema quattro ore per tre giorni alla settimana, era più efficiente di quella "lunga", 8-12 ore per due volte alla settimana. L'intuizione di Cambi modificò il paradigma della terapia emodialitica a livello mondiale, tanto che a distanza di cinquanta anni è tuttora applicato.

Nel 1980 divenne professore ordinario di Nefrologia all'Università di Parma, nonché presidente della Scuola di Specializzazione in Nefrologia.

Dal 1990 ricoprì, per diversi anni, il ruolo di Segretario Tesoriere dell'ERA-EDTA, cioè l'associazione renale europea.

Alexandra has been preparing for her becoming Orthodox Christian with the assistance of her husband, David, for one year. Before Alexandra was received in the Orthodoxy she and David introduced their mother to the Orthodoxy in time of her mother's illness. She agreed with them to accept the Orthodoxy and baptized at her hospital bed with the name of Saint Nectarios. With the blessing of our Lord, Nectaria reposed in the hospital after her first Holy Communion. May her memory be eternal.

At Etsy, Rotary Telephone Pill Box!
The Harlem book of the dead with its photographs, poems and text are more than a representational reflections of mourning rites. They reveal the history of a time in Harlem, now past, when society cared for both the living and the dead, the belief that we must preserve a standard of pride representing order high in spiritual and temporal values. There is a purging of sorrow in the very pageantry of funerals. Carelessness about death might reflect a carelessness about life.
And how can I resist these Tiffany-inspired artificial nails? Yes, nail art in that shade of blue — made to look like those special boxes!
In case you didn't know, I love bedding about as much as I love lingerie — and often, it is vintage bedding too. Currently, I am obsessing over Laura Ashley's Country Roses, which features soft pink flowers against wide pink & white stripes — soooo pretty! I pray I find it by Spring! I need the queen size… And they aren't easy to find in any size, even on Etsy or eBay, either. But gift cards for the "one day" I do find pieces would be sweet!
What's a beautiful bed without scented sheets — or a perfumed lady between them? *wink* I am running low on one of my signature scents, Sirene, but Vicky Tiel. I adore the Eau De Parfume spray, Luminous Body Wash, and the Body creme.
I am also quite smitten with these custom made Cheshire Cat shoes at Etsy! (I squeal over purple heels!) However, please note that as they come from the UK, one must expect the shipping to be higher than stated (due to insurance and any duties/fees).
And, to keep the sense of whimsy, I would so enjoy a sterling silver bubble wand — also from Tiffany's.
I may add/update as time passes… But this is a start!

Michael Cross, PhD
Athletics Administrator, Penn State University and Co-Founder/CEO, Athlete Viewpoint
Michael Cross is a tireless advocate for the college athlete based on his own experience as a student-athlete, coach, administrator and athletic director. He has over two decades of professional practice including stops at the University of Michigan, Princeton University, Bradley University and Penn State University where he is currently the sport administrator for six teams and oversees new business development. He also serves on the Executive Committee for the Penn State Center for the Study of Sport in Society: an interdisciplinary center that leverages the expertise of Penn State faculty and staff with academic and research interests in sports across the University.
He has extensive national service experience and is a current member of the NCAA Men's Ice Hockey Committee, with previous membership on the NCAA Committee on Academic Performance, the NCAA Baseball committee and NCAA Research committee.
Michael arrived at Penn State after serving as the Director of Athletics at Bradley University for five years, where he was instrumental in leading the school to its best-ever finish in the Missouri Valley Conference all-sports standings and had over 80 percent of Bradley student-athletes earn a 3.0 GPA or higher during each of his last three years as AD.
During his tenure at Bradley, Michael signed the school's first-ever all-sports apparel deal with Adidas and secured the largest corporate sponsorship agreement in Bradley history, leading to a school record total of corporate sponsorship revenue. He also negotiated a multi-media rights agreement with Nelligan Sports Marketing (now owned by Learfield Sports) and instituted a consistent branding strategy for the athletic department that was ultimately adopted University-wide.
Michael was a member of the Princeton University athletics administration from 1999-2009. He served his final three years as the Executive Associate Director of Athletics, including a five-month stint as Acting Director of Athletics.
In 2016, Michael co-founded Athlete Viewpoint: an outsource option for intercollegiate athletic departments to assess the student-athlete experience. Athlete Viewpoint partners with athletics departments across the country to assist with all aspects of department evaluation including end-of-season athlete surveys, diversity and inclusion, culture and climate evaluation, alumni and donor relations and risk management. In addition to their work with colleges and universities, ongoing relationships include the Big Ten Conference, Women Leaders in College Sports, CoSIDA and the NJCAA.
Michael graduated from SUNY-Buffalo with a degree in economics and a master's in education. He earned a doctoral degree in higher education from the University of Michigan in 1999. He and his wife, Jennifer, live in State College, Pennsylvania and have two sons.

Color / Pattern – This for the most part is a personal chose; However there are simple things you can do to choose a color/pattern that will actually work. If you like the hot pink wallpaper and the rest of your house is done in marble I would recommend shying away from your personal preference and going with something that is going to last and add value to your home not take away from it. There are several guides that can help you pick colors that match it's surroundings and that fit in. A simple rule is choose like color's and tones. For example if your thinking green, and the opposite wall is maroon. Choose a green that is the same tone as the maroon. Don't pick like glossy shiny green, when the maroon is a dull light shade.
Types – Several different types of wallpaper exist, and a lot of this choice is going to depend on it's application, and your budget. For example Vinyl wallpaper is very durable and is perfect for rooms like kitchens and bathrooms as it can be scrubbed, and will not hold stains. Vinyl-Coated Wallpaper is just like Vinyl Wallpaper however it is not quite as durable and will hold stains. Can you see how the difference between these two styles is going to make a big difference in placement. You might think that having a really expensive custom wallpaper in your kitchen is desirable but when your toddler flings some spaghetti sauce on it, and it stains, you are going to be wishing you had chosen something more practical.

Q: Replace user photo on Windows 7 lock screen with a custom image I want to replace the photo on the lock screen with my own custom image. I can't find the folder where those images are stored. Does anyone know where they're located in the Window 7 Pro file structure?

A: The picture above your username on the lockscreen in Windows 7 is your user profile pic. To change it do the following:

*

*Open Control Panel

*Go to User Accounts

*Under Make changes to your account go to Change your picture

*Underneath all the stock photos select Browse for more pictures...

*Navigate to the folder path of the pic of your choosing and select it

A: This is an easy solution. That is a user profile picture. There is not defined structure, and it only checks the dialog where you can select a custom image. To do this, open the start menu by pressing the ⊞ key, then click Change Your Picture and select one of the built in ones, or browse for pictures inside your local storage by clicking Browse for more pictures
I hope this helps
Thanks,
yg.swagness

April 5, 2013 / Tara
I know this woman, who recently went through a nasty child custody battle. She was blindsided by her children's father, who filed for full custody of the children and subsequently painted her a very bad mother. I watched her deteriorate during those long days and months – and struggle to smile through her tears and the fear that kept her awake at night. I felt powerless to help her – all I could offer was to remind her of faith, and remind her of who she always was, to never lose sight of herself.
He called her a liar. He said she was trying to take the children from him. He told her children that he didn't want them living in her home. He told the evaluating psychologist that she had been a drug addict, that she had emotional issues that required medication, that it was she who was the perpetrator of the domestic abuse, and – in a final blow after the evaluations were over – told the doctor that "given her prior abuse and neglect of the children," he saw no other alternative but for him to be awarded full custody. She read this statement in the actual evaluation report, after he had sat in the same room with her for the final review, where he had agreed that shared custody was best for the children.
Luckily, he didn't win. In the months that followed, she found that things began to settle down. The girlfriend he'd had through the entire process, had moved out. Then there was a new girlfriend, which ended so fast, she never even had a name. He wanted to "work together" now, for the sake of the children. There were no more attacks on her character, no more animosity from his camp, and very little communication beyond what was absolutely necessary.
This woman I know – she is happy and healthy again. Mostly. No one is perfect. But, not long ago, the man who systematically tried to destroy her came to her with an appeal. He apologized for being a bad husband, and all the mistakes he had made there. He didn't apologize for the custody suit. He told her he needed her help, since the custody arrangement they spent thousands fighting over was going to be a hardship for him during the summer. And, moreover, he wanted to share with her that he was dating someone new. He's in love. The kids have met her. He wants to marry her. Turns out, she knows this other woman – however, casually, and from very long ago.
I thought she'd be stunned by this news, but she says nothing surprises her anymore. She's relieved it's at least someone who she is sure is a good woman, who will be kind to her children. But she was not without conflict, knowing the power she had to bury him. In my opinion, she would be a better woman by keeping her distance, and saying nothing. Not that I could ever blame her for a weakness to do otherwise. Wish them well, and hope this is the last girlfriend her children will have to meet for a while.
I wonder though…who is this man – who destroyed her trust in him long, long ago – who is acting like this super nice guy – manipulating emotions to elicit her compassion, now that he so desperately needs it? If he were stronger, would he think nothing of trying to take everything from her, again? Who is this lovesick man – who shows women a softer side, who laughs, buys flowers, and goes places? This man is a stranger. He said he has changed. Can anyone become the polar opposite of everything they once were?
I say leopards never change their spots.
People don't really change their attitude; they simply change their masks. ~ unknown
Someone told me that people change like the seasons, but I don't believe it, there's a big difference – seasons never change for personal interests.
