This looks like 13th & Republican. I lived in Capitol Park Apts for 8+ years. My first winter there, in December 2008, we had a huge snowfall. I remember watching the neighbors sledding down Republican. Those were the good old days.

Gossip: I have used this as a general term to include the insidious habits of whinging, complaining and backbiting.
I am a recovering gossip. Gossip to me, is like what meth is to meth addicts: damn good. As a teenager I was particularly bad. In striving to be "cool" I was ready and willing at any moment to find fault in people and would happily join forces with whichever side would have me. I could gossip about anything and anyone. It was my vice and I knew it well.
It was somewhere in my early 20's that I started to see my habit for what it was: insidious and immature. It was not helpful as an actor, or as a person, and ever since I have been determined to shake this nagging habit.
Gossip is particularly bad for actors because it's contagious. It spreads it's cunning negativity through a cast of actors quicker than a bad review. And the morale of a cast is imperative to the success of a production. Once the gossiping vortex takes hold, it takes actors of all ages and backgrounds along for the ride.
The problem with gossip is that it doesn't actually help anything. If your director has no vision, they still remain visionless regardless of your complaining about them. If another actor keeps forgetting their lines, no bitching is going to give them a better memory. If your scene partner is uninspired or down right bad, talking about it day and night, isn't going to save the scene. Conversely, focusing on the problem typically aggravates it further.
If you have a genuine problem with a director, cast member, or any other person involved in a production, speak up. Speak plainly and directly and try to resolve the problem. If the problem is then resolved, splendid. If not, well there's no point discussing it further. To clarify, that doesn't mean going and telling your director that the other actor is bad; most problems with another actor's performance can only be resolved by you. By that I mean doubling down and being more open, giving and brave in the scene you're working on them with. Inspire them with your work. Engage with them, don't withdraw.
As an addict, I understand. If you don't like something there is nothing better than complaining about it. There is nothing more comforting than sitting in the green room coddled by a fellow actor's gossip and bathing in hatred, frustration and whining, voraciously dissecting your director, scene partner, or costume designer, who never fixes your damn buttons. It feels fantastic. But like all delicious goodies, too many, and they start to take their toll.
Gossiping, along with its cousins; complaining, whinging, passive aggression and a few others I'm sure you've experienced along the way, are all infectious. They bring a weight to the rehearsal room and to performance. They are the easy emotions. The ones we all feel, but would be better off not indulging.
As the new year dawns on us I thought it would be a good time to write this confessional piece and in so doing, reinstate my resolution to leave behind this unhelpful vice. And hopefully encourage others to do so as well. To admit we have been sinners and to strive to be more optimistic and positive in the future.
It is never hard to find fault in another. To look at an actor and see how their voice is lacking, or how they never get their lines right, or how they keep cutting you off too early, or too late, or how they're bringing down the scene, or how they have an annoying voice, or talk too much or fill in the blank (I'm sure you can). It is somewhat harder to see the good in others.
I have found that being less harsh on others has unshackled my own acting. How you see others is how you see yourself. I used to be critical of other actor's work and so in turn would feel their critical eye whilst I performed. Ever since letting go of my own judgements I have been more confident, open and comfortable on stage.
A rehearsal room is a place for you to work. To be your best and to strive to tell a story with commitment and honesty. Collaboration relies on support, openness, and trust and these are all broken by the childish act of gossiping. Remember always that your reputation as an actor is as important as your ability. If that reputation is one of complaining and negatively you soon will have no one to complain about.
There is a difference between critique and gossip, and I don't want to you to get the impression that you lose your critical eye. That is what makes you a great artist.
However, here is how it works in the process of producing a play, film or television program: you think something negative of something someone is doing – you don't talk about it with anyone in the production. Go home to a house mate or better still write a journal entry about it.
Remain critical and challenge yourself to why you didn't like a particular choice. What would you have done different? There is no need to discuss it or get annoyed at it.
How to wean yourself off the good stuff… Try and spend time with people who are naturally positive. Those who see the best in others and don't have your same addiction. If you keep finding yourself drifting into those circles, just try and move away or lightly steer the conversation in another direction.
If they are complaining about others, they are complaining about you. Have you ever left a conversation with someone after they've just ripped apart another actor and wondered what they say about you. Truth is that they probably are talking about you, so maybe just avoid them.

Project Nursery Bypasses the Bells and Whistles to Provide a Simple and Reliable Baby Monitor
By Nate Lewis · On February 2, 2017
It's not often that you hear about how easy parenting is. In fact, more often than not, it's usually the other way around. Fortunately, in our era of modern technology, there's a whole load of gear out there for you to to help. Cloudtot, Nanit, Neebo, Knit, and Owlett all claim to be the premier baby monitor, but it looks like there's a new contender in the ring. While other baby monitors boast the latest in smart technology, Project Nursery brings it back to basics; and frankly, that's what sets it apart.
While, not necessarily a massive step back in tech (it is 2017 after all), the Project Nursery HD Baby Monitor still provides a healthy number of features to entice the modern consumer. It comes equipped with a USB night vision camera that is able to generate its own 2.4 GHz wireless signal. Additionally, the monitor includes the Parent Unit, a 5 inch display. For additional monitoring, the monitor includes a 1.5 inch cube to be worn on the wrist for additional monitoring.
The Parent Unit allows you to control the direction of the camera, giving you the ability to reposition its angle like you're some sort of dystopian overseer. To continue with the baby-1984 theme, you can also speak through the monitor as well. The device is actually very easy to use, and can be set up in just a few minutes. The battery life hovers around 16 hours before needing to be recharge. While this baby monitor doesn't come with a ton of bells and whistles, it's not really marketed to people who are looking for that sort of thing.

Q: How to get the result(output) in text box after clicking submit in PHP? I'm trying to calculate factorial of a number in PHP.
I've got two text boxes:
 1) for number 2)for result(the factorial of the number)
When I click submit, I want the result in the textbox of result.How can I make it happen.
<html>
    <title>Factorial</title>
    <body>
    <form name="f1" method="POST">
    number :<input type="text" name="T1">
    factorial :<input type="text" name="T2" >
    <input type="submit" name="submit">
</body>
</html>

<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
 $num=$_POST['T1'];
 $fact=1;

 while($num>0)
 {
  $fact=$fact*$num;
   $num--;
  }

  //code for writing result to the textbox.

  }
  ?>

A: Try this:
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
 $num=$_POST['T1'];
 $fact=1;

 while($num>0)
 {
  $fact=$fact*$num;
   $num--;
 }

//code for writing result to the textbox.

 }
?>

<html>
<title>Factorial</title>
<body>
<form name="f1" method="POST">
number :<input type="text" name="T1" value="<?php isset($num) ? $num : ''?>">
factorial :<input type="text" name="T2" value="<?php isset($fact)? $fact : '';?>">
<input type="submit" name="submit">
</body>
</html>

A: Do your PHP before the HTML, and then when you get to wherever you want to show it on the page, just add <?php echo $fact; ?>
So maybe something like
<div>
<?php echo $fact; ?>
</div>

A: Note value="<?php echo $fact; ?>" in factorial input
<?php
$fact ='';
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
 $num=$_POST['T1'];
 $fact=1;

 while($num>0)
 {
  $fact=$fact*$num;
   $num--;
  }

  }
  ?>
<html>
    <title>Factorial</title>
    <body>
    <form name="f1" method="POST">
    number :<input type="text" name="T1">
    factorial :<input type="text" name="T2" value="<?php echo $fact; ?>" >
    <input type="submit" name="submit">
</body>
</html>

A: try like this using jQuery
call a method to do ur action
         function fact(){
         //do calculation
          $('#id_of_txt_box').val('the value');
          }

You can try out similar thing for javascript

A: You just have to add script tag after calculating factorial
Try this :
echo '<script type="text/javascript">
var s = document.getElementById("t2");
        s.value = ' . $fact . ';
</script>';

"t2" is the id of the input element where you wish to put the calculated value.
add this code after calculating factorial within php tags

Cal men fall to USC in OT
Bears can't continue late charge in extra session
By Rusty Simmons
Published 4:00 am PST, Friday, March 7, 2008
After a 93-89 overtime loss to USC on Thursday night, Cal sophomore wing Patrick Christopher realized he was repeating himself.
"I can remember games from all the way back at the beginning of the season, and I was talking about the same stuff," he said. "That's kind of the stamp of our team. We battle back, but we can't close."
The Bears (15-13, 6-11 Pac-10) blew a nine-point lead, rallied from 12 down to force overtime but lost at the Galen Center. It was a microcosm of the season, which has included nine losses in which Cal trailed by two points or fewer in the final three minutes.
"Because the season is almost coming to an end, it's time to put those games away and close them out," Christopher said. "It's all or nothing. We've got nothing to lose, but we can't keep having these types of games."
Playing near his hometown of Compton, Christopher scored a game-high 24 points and did everything he could to reverse the trend. He made a three-pointer to cap a 10-0 run that tied it 76-76 with 34 seconds left in regulation and calmly hit a pair of free throws to force overtime with 4.8 seconds remaining.
Anderson, who had 22 points and 12 rebounds, gave the Bears an 80-78 lead with the first basket in overtime, but USC (19-10, 10-7) scored the next ten points to put the game away, handing Cal its fourth consecutive loss and sixth in the last seven.

"It really kind of describes the season," Anderson said. "We've fought our way through a lot of games and had the opportunity to win a lot of games, but we just don't play well down the stretch."
With Oregon and Arizona each winning Thursday, ninth-place Cal fell two games behind the three teams tied for fifth and a game behind Washington. The Bears are a lock to play the opening day of the Pac-10 tournament, which starts Wednesday.
Cal's hopes at an NCAA Tournament berth - short of winning the Pac-10 tournament - had already been dashed, but the final regular-season week in Los Angeles has meaning. The Bears are still trying to secure an NIT or College Basketball Invitational bid, and they could be rewarded by a nice roll before the conference tournament.
"I'm proud of their effort, because they came in and worked their tails off," Cal coach Ben Braun said. "I'll tell you this: Good things are going to happen. When you play this hard, the lesson is that good things will come your way."
They may have already used up the "good things" without getting a win. Cal was in the game, despite giving up 20-plus points each to O.J. Mayo, Taj Gibson and Dwight Lewis and letting the trio turn Cal's nine-point lead to a 12-point deficit (71-59) with 4:46 remaining.
USC built its 12-point advantage on a Gibson free throw after Mayo sparked a second-half tear that Lewis ended. After being held to two first-half points, Mayo scored five straight and dished out two assists during a 12-0, second-half run that allowed the Trojans to turn an eight-point deficit into a 54-50 lead with 11:39 remaining in the second half.
Until that point, Cal had managed to keep the fans of the pristine Galen Center in their seats, but they went wild as the Bears fell apart. The noise escalated, the pace quickened and the Cal mistakes multiplied.
Christopher tried to calm the storm with five straight points, but USC responded with another 10-0 run. Mayo hit another three-pointer and Angelo Johnson added one on the Trojans' next possession as they pushed the lead to 64-55 with 8 1/2 minutes left.
Briefly: Senior center DeVon Hardin bruised his hip, according to Braun, but he isn't sure the extent of the injury. Hardin was limited to four points and five rebounds in 26 minutes.

I hope your summer garden is giving you an abundance of basil, because you will definitely want to make this soup! It is easy enough for a fast weeknight supper (we like it along with grilled cheese sandwiches), but delicious enough for a special meal. Don't try to substitute dried basil, the flavor just won't be the same. If you are lucky enough to have a surplus of fresh tomatoes you can use those instead of using the canned tomatoes called for in the recipe. Just use about 3 lbs. of fresh tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped; and add about 20 minutes to the cooking time to let them break down well enough before blending.
Aromatic fresh basil is used in abundance to make this delicious but simple soup.
Heat the oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the garlic and cook only about 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
Stir in the tomatoes and salt and cook one minute.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer about 20 minutes.
Roughly chop the fresh basil and stir into the soup along with the honey.
Place the soup in a blender, one half of it at a time, and puree until smooth, or use an immersion blender and puree directly in the pot.
Taste for salt, and serve garnished with more slivered basil if desired.
Use the links at the top of the page to Pin this recipe for later, share it on Facebook or Tweet it to a friend on Twitter. Be sure to visit Red + Honey's Sunday Night Soups link up where I've linked up this recipe with a whole big bowl full of other soup ideas.

Someone needs to remind the Extension Service that whenever they need it to rain they should schedule a Farm Tour day. It seems like every time I've participated in the Seminole County Farm Tour it rains the whole day. The rain didn't stop the crowds, however. This was the most heavily attended Farm Tour I can remember! I think attendance was higher than the good farmers had counted on. I wondered if we didn't seem like stampeding herds or swarming locust to some of the smaller venues.
The day started appropriately for a wet and soggy morning at a farm near the edge of Lake Jesup in Winter Springs. Soggy Acres Pomelo Farm at 100 Tuskawilla Road seemed in danger of being swallowed up by the encroaching "urban lifestyle" Winter Springs Town Center. But as soon as you took a few steps down the dirt driveway and passed through the tree-tangled entrance you could forget you were within spitting distance of eight restaurants, three salons, law offices, medical offices, realtors and a Publix.
Soggy Acres Pomelo Farm is a slice of old Florida. The pomelo is the great-great grandmother of our modern grapefruit, but without the bitterness that can accompany the grapefruit. We missed prime pomelo season which occurs in late winter and early spring along with most of the rest of the citrus fruits. Soggy Acres is a U-Pick pomelo grove that runs on the honor system. The family farmstead sits at the end of the long dirt driveway that bisects the grove. Near the front is a large wooden platform and a big metal mailbox. Sometimes pomelos are picked and left on the platform for customers to buy, or you can bring a basket and wander through the pleasant green trees and pick your own. Either way be sure to leave your payment (cash only) inside the big metal mailbox. Although we didn't get to taste a pomelo this time, we did get to try mulberries. Soggy Acres is home to more than just pomelos. The farmer has a soft spot for all kinds of fruit trees. In addition to the mulberry trees there were also lychees and a few other exotic tropical residents. Apparently the squirrels and raccoons love them all so harvests are slim on those and reserved for the farm family only.
We left Soggy Acres and headed south on Tuskawilla Road about five miles to Gabriella Lane in Oviedo.
Gabriella Growers, 4875 Gabriella Lane, was stop #2 on the Farm Tour. It was my least favorite of the stops simply because Gabriella Growers was a) a wholesale nursery rather than retail and b) selling only foliage plants for home and office. Sorry, but ferns and pothos just don't thrill me. I was much more intrigued by the things living and growing on the outside of the greenhouse. The greenhouse was just a vast wasteland of pampered potted plants. Outside we found some very friendly horses, a chicken coop and a nicely tended vegetable garden filled with leeks, cabbage, kale and onions.
Stop #3 took us six miles east to the edge of Seminole County where Red Bug Lake becomes Mitchell Hammock Road. But even that far out we couldn't shake suburbia as block after block of gated communities stretched on into the horizon. Just past the east campus of Seminole State College is Red Ember Road. The paved highway ends and a wide dirt highway continues on past five acre single-family homesteads. One homestead sported a dazzling male peacock on its roof. The peacock was quite alarmed at the onslaught of cars and pedestrians and spent the whole time screeching his dire warning call. Sundew Gardens, 2212 Red Ember Road, Oviedo, was a few driveways past the peacock and through a leafy arched entrance drive. Sundew Gardens is a U-Pick Vegetable Farm open only to members. It's really a twist on the popular CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) idea. For a $100 membership fee you get access to the organic vegetable garden, cage-free (but not, it appears, free range) hens' eggs, and some citrus. The gardens are beautifully maintained with organic compost and worm-casting tea. If you live on the east side of Orlando this place is definitely worth your consideration as an alternative to grocery store produce.
Stop #4 was another place I wasn't looking forward to. In years past the lunch at Yarborough Ranch left an awful lot to be desired. Frozen Bubba burgers from box to grill and plated up with white bread buns, Fritos and canned sodas are just not my idea of a great farm-to-table experience. Thankfully this year someone had the good sense to make a few changes. It was still grilled burgers but this time the meat came from nearby Geneva Beef Company, an all grass-fed/grass-finished operation. You could taste the difference in the burgers! Instead of GMO-filled snack chips we feasted on fresh corn on the cob with melted butter, locally grown tomatoes, onions, homemade slaw and slow-cooked collard greens. Ok, so they still had white bread buns and HFCS ketchup, but I was happy to go bunless (less carbs for me) and avoid the ketchup. I had a nice conversation with the Geneva Beef Company folks who are proud of their pasture-raised beef. You can find them online with a quick web search to learn how to order their meat. I inquired about bulk quarter, half and whole purchases but for now they only do retail cuts. They hope to add the bulk purchases into their offerings later as they grow the company. I hope it is soon! We need more grassfed beef options in this area. Yarborough Ranch still hasn't gotten the message. They are still a cow/calf operation. I'm sure most of the Farm Tour folk didn't realize the beautiful pastures providing the picturesque setting for their lunch were only temporary homes for the young calves who were destined to be shipped across the country to big CAFOs for fast finishing on GMO grain. I couldn't stomach sitting around for the after-lunch speaker. It was too hard not to get angry and frustrated with the idiot on the microphone telling the crowd how wonderful the Food Safety Modernization Act was. He completely missed telling them how the FSMA was going to be responsible for shutting down four out of the six farms on that very Farm Tour due to the oppressive restraints and industrially focused regulations. The very grassfed burgers, hydroponic tomatoes and organic cabbage they were munching – so much safer and nutritious, and much more delicious, than the CAFO beef and Fritos served in years past – were going to become a thing of the past when the small family farms close their gates under crushing over-regulation. Nope, I couldn't listen to his lies any longer, so we left early and went on to the next stop.
U-Pick Blackberries and Blueberries, a simple name telling exactly what to expect, is just a mile or two down Snow Hill Road from Yarborough Ranch. 500 Snow Hill Road, Geneva, is the farm address. Blueberries are setting and due to ripen as soon as our nights warm up. Blackberries will follow in late May and early June. Call ahead for picking days and times. Blueberries are $4/lb as I recall. The blackberries hadn't gotten any leaves or blossoms yet due to the cold weather lately. Hopefully they will catch up – I'm looking forward to a blackberry cobbler soon!
Last stop was one place that really hadn't anticipated the huge turnout for this year's Farm Tour. Rest Haven Farm, 381 Rest Haven Road, Geneva, was still in a flurry of preparation activity when the first of the tour-goers trickled up their driveway. The young son, sporting a day-glo orange safety vest, eagerly pointed cars to the few parking spaces available and then panicked trying to figure out where to put everyone else. The crowds quickly overwhelmed the small table set up to sell tomatoes and I heard several disgruntled retirees complaining about the pushing and shoving and elbowing as tired tourists jostled each other for bags of ripe red tomatoes. Tours of the beautiful lettuce tables and the large tomato greenhouse quickly filled to overflowing. We had hoped to buy some of the gorgeous heads of lettuce but there were just too many people and not enough farm family members to go around. I was thankful to slip away from the greenhouse crowd and get back to a calmer, emptier tomato tent. I bought a bowl full of the most delicious tomatoes I've had in a long time and happily headed home.

It has been more than a century since theologian Father Michael Muller wrote that sentence, yet it can be applied to what is happening with the souls of our children NOW. They reside in brains that are unequipped to function in this world because their personality was never nurtured in the first place.
Freud wanted to understand the structure that builds the personality.
Jung agreed with Freud that childhood experiences determined future behavior, but future aspirations motivate.
Bandura wanted to prove personality was built upon learned behaviors.
Allport studied how the difference in personality boiled down to the many different traits an individual possessed.
Erickson believed there were discernible stages that the development occurred.
Maslow's hierarchy of needs estimates only 1 in 100 people are "complete" and that was many decades ago.
That is an easy sentence to read and pass, but I think we need to stop and evaluate it.
Things are done in stages because previous experience shows it to be the most beneficial and/or long-lasting method. If errors occur during development, personality traits will continue to develop improperly. Result will be negative traits, personality disorder, etc.
An adult with a non-supportive brain, mind, psyche, soul, PERSONALITY.
This fits into my claims that children are being traumatized with abuses and not parented, causing young adults that are unable to join the workforce.
Quite simply, they've never been taught the life-reinforcing essential personality traits.
The blank slate or "Tabula Rasa" theory that children are a blank slate that learn by being taught, goes all the way back to B.C. and Aristotle. MUCH research has been done into the many different aspects of the personality.
TAKE MY WORD FOR IT WHEN I TELL YOU THERE ARE 100s OF OTHER PROFESSIONALS WHO HAVE STATED THE SAME WITH BOTH QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE PROOF.
If psyche is to the brain as the bones are to the body, then personality traits inside the mind should be compared to vitamins: the more balanced with them we are, the better our chances for success.
"We all agree that we cannot solve a problem this complex until we agree it exists," said David Sanders, chairman of the federal Commission to Eliminate Child Abuse and Neglect Fatalities.
I guess this means we need to agree that NOT ONLY is personality as important as a child's growing bones, but LACK of parenting creates children with insufficient personality that are at times forced to become a burden on government assistance before the age of 18.
Besides avoiding all common-sense personality-crippling factors like physical, sexual, and psychological abuses – there are a couple of things a parent should think about when considering what it takes to create the strongest possible personality for their child. It can be little things that make all the difference and give him or her an advantage over many other children.
Research that shows rapists search out the submissive, making young subservient women a target. To be respectful is one thing, to be a pushover is something different.
I read a theory I can no longer find, that says forcing children to sit on laps when they do not want to (Santa, Easter Bunny, relative) teaches them to go against their gut instinct or intuition, and effects the developing personality.
Birth order effects the individual child's personality!

Havoc on the way to UA's defense
Brett Hudson @Brett_Hudson
Nick Saban isn't a big fan of sacks as a reliable statistic, but in this case, they illustrate well the problem he was trying to fix.
When his University of Alabama defenses were dominant just a few years ago, finishing second in the nation in yards per play allowed in 2015 and first in 2016, they were racking up sacks. They averaged 3.47 and 3.6 sacks per game, respectively, ranking third nationally both years. In 2019, UA's sacks dropped down to 2.42 per game, ranked tied for 45th in the nation, and the UA defense tumbled down to 17th in yards per play allowed, 29th when only considering games against Power 5 competition.
There are other factors and more nuance, but the correlation is still somewhat strong. In response, UA's 2019 recruiting class is loaded with pass rushers.
Alabama brought in 22 signees on Wednesday, the first day of the early signing period for the class of 2020, and that group included some of the best perimeter front defenders in the nation: Chris Braswell, a five-star defensive end from Baltimore; Quandarrius Robinson, a four-star outside linebacker from Birmingham; and William Anderson Jr., a four-star defensive end from Hampton, Georgia. Drew Sanders, a five-star athlete from Denton, Texas, could also end up in a role that includes an emphasis on pass rushing.
"I definitely think that we really like that group of guys," Saban said. "They're all very talented. They're all good pass rushers. They're all long."
The emphasis there is more than just a combination of abundant talent and a need for their skills. UA's roster attrition requires UA to go heavy on the edge of the box.
UA is going to lose senior outside linebacker Anfernee Jennings after the Citrus Bowl and has already lost junior outside linebacker Terrell Lewis, who has elected to skip the game to begin his preparation for the 2020 NFL Draft. It comes a year after the defense lost Isaiah Buggs and Christian Miller.
UA has also been forced into this personnel need in atypical methods of attrition, in five-star prospect Eyabi Anoma leaving the program before starting a game and five-star Antonio Alfano leaving the program before appearing in a game.
Tom Luginbill, a recruiting analyst for ESPN, was not surprised to see UA attack those positions with heavy numbers.
"What you see where Alabama sits right now, and it's similar to what Clemson has going on, they continue to corner the market on the positions that they've got to have to improve their areas of deficiency," Luginbill said in a teleconference earlier this week. "Now, what are they? Well, maybe they haven't been the pass rush team that they would like to be or maybe that they were when Ryan Anderson and Tim Williams were playing off the edge. So what do they do? They go out and target a Chris Braswell or target a William Anderson. Even some of the outside linebackers in this class, Demouy Kennedy and Quandarrius Robinson. Both guys, particularly Robinson, are guys that are likely going to grow into being a pass-rush type player. Robinson is 6'5″, 215.
"I think the focus of Alabama, when you look at this class, a couple of things. Have to address on the offensive side of the ball projected losses early to the NFL. You have to prepare in advance of that. I think they've done it at quarterback, they've done it at wideout. And where do they need to improve on the defensive side of the ball? It's on the edges on the outside to create pass rush. I think that's what stands out about this class."
Saban also mentioned defensive lineman Tim Smith as someone who could see some time outside. At 6'4", 325 pounds, he's not the typical outside player, but Saban said Smith moves well for his size and is a basketball player, so Saban sees the quickness to be on the perimeter if needed. UA had to hold off a late push from Florida to keep Smith steady in his UA commitment.
As for the personnel management aspect of the positions, Saban did not disagree.
"Well I think that defensive players, we wanted to get a couple more guys up front. I think we did," Saban said. "We're still trying to add to that in the future. Edge players, which we just talked about."

Q: Encrypting flexible amount of data with GPGME I'm currently writing a C++ application and would like to use GPGME for message signing, encryption and key management. I know I can encrypt data in this way:
    err = gpgme_op_encrypt(mContext, recipients,...);
    if(err) {
        // .. error handling
    }
    result = gpgme_op_encrypt_result(mContext);
    if(result->invalid_recipients){
        //error handling
    }

    nbytes = gpgme_data_seek(encrypted_text, 0, SEEK_SET);
    if(nbytes == -1) {
       //error handling
    }
    buffer = malloc(MAXLEN);
    nbytes = gpgme_data_read(encrypted_text, buffer, MAXLEN);

But as one can see I would have to use MAXLEN as limit for reading the encrypted data in my buffer. Is there a way to determine how long my encrypted data result will be in advance (given the plaintex)? Or will I have to accept the static limit?

A: I'm not familiar with this particular API but the gpgme_data_seek and gpgme_data_read call look like they may behave like read() and seek() from the file I/O system.
(1) Simply allocate as much buffer as you can effort (lets say N).
(2) Call n=gpgme_data_read(...,N) until N!=n.
(3) Check for error conditions (my guess is n<0)
proceed until you have processed all data you are interested in.

TOGURI SIGNS TWO-YEAR DEAL WITH KNIGHTHAWKS
Rochester Knighthawks General Manager and Vice President of Lacrosse Operations Dan Carey announced today that the team has agreed to terms with defenseman Joshua Toguri on a two-year contract, pending league approval.
A 24-year-old native of Etobicoke, Ontario, Toguri joins the Knighthawks after spending parts of the 2021 and 2019 seasons with the Brooklin Redmen of Major Series Lacrosse, totaling three assists in four games.
Prior to that, the 5-foot-9, 170-pound defenseman played back-to-back seasons with the Oshawa Outlaws of the Arena Lacrosse League from 2019-20. In 19 career games with the Outlaws, Toguri registered 15 points (6+9) and was named to the 2019 ALL All-Rookie Team in his first year with the team.
Toguri's vast lacrosse resume also includes four years (2015-18) of Junior "A" ball with the Mimico Mountaineers, during which he amassed 26 points (9+17) and 142 penalty minutes over 79 games. He also added four points (2+2) in 22 postseason appearances.
He played his collegiate lacrosse with the Guelph Gryphons of the Canadian University Field Lacrosse Association (CUFLA) and represented the Netherlands at the 2019 World Indoor Lacrosse Championship.

Le Butcherettes and Death From Above Deliver A Great Concert in Houston

Heads Up! Is Now Tour
Warehouse Live
The cold front rolled in and brought drizzly rain causing Houstonians to break out heavier jackets and hoodies. Certainly immune to the chilled weather were Death From Above as witnessed by vocalist and drummer, Seb Grainger performing shirtless and barefoot covered only in white overalls. The Studio at Warehouse Live quickly warmed up as Jesse F. Keeler took his bass guitar and the duo set the venue ablaze punching out "Dead Womb."
It is simply incredible how much noise can be generated from two people. The duo played through their original six song EP Heads Up and several other tracks from three studio albums. Although the EP was released more than 15 years ago, songs from Heads Up like "Losing Friends" and "Do It!" still sounds fresh.
Death From Above create musical chaos at Warehouse Live.
Dressed in all black — barring the the white sneakers and golden pig belt buckle — bassist Keeler celebrated his birthday on stage. He stated that he spent his last birthday in Utah and it sucked. Luckily he was here on Monday night with a crowd that was happy to celebrate for him. A master of his craft, at times he played the Rickenbacker Bass with his teeth then turned to a speaker to get the signature squelchy feedback associated with the first studio album, You're a Woman, I'm a Machine.
For a majority of the show, Grainger was ball of controlled chaos, seated behind the drum kit and pounding on the skins, stomping on the foot pedals and singing into his microphone. It was not unlike watching a stationary hummingbird sucking up sugar water while his wings are moving so fast they are blurry. He is the best drummer/vocalist since Phil Collins.
Seb Grainger is the best vocalist/drummer since Phil Collins.
After they performed the songs on the printed setlist, the duo returned for an encore asking the crowd what they wanted to hear. The duo finished the night out upon getting requests yelled out by fans and belting they belted out, "Little Girl" and "Pull Out." No one left the venue disappointed.
How were the openers?
It seems unfair to refer to Le Butcherettes as the openers given that they are one of the best live bands over the past ten years. Teri Gender Bender and crew are definitely "strong/ENOUGH" to head on tour on their own and take over headlining gigs. The energetic front woman hailing from Mexico greeted the crowd and noted it had been four years since we had seen her last.
Teri Gender Bender of Le Butcherettes mesmerizes fans at Warehouse Live.
Weaving her tales with an energetic passion and haunting vocals during "My Mallely," she growled and yipped like a coyote on "La Uva". A mesmerizing sight, especially with the crisp squinted glare and red stripe painted across her face just below her nose.
Just like King Buzzo of The Melvin's did four years ago, Seb Grainger came to the side of the stage to catch some of the set by their tour mates. Upon finishing the nearly hour long set, Gender Bender said, "¡Gracias!" and the band came together at the middle of the small stage and took a bow.

Focus Electric Nationwide By Year's End. Plug-In C-Max, Fusion Energi Coming First Of The Year
Focus Electric Nationwide By Year's End. Plug-In C-Max, Fusion Energi Coming First Of The Year product 2012-07-09 14:30:44 https://insideevs.com/news/315033/focus-electric-nationwide-by-years-end-plug-in-c-max-fusion-energi-coming-first-of-the-year/ Ford General, featured
By: InsideEVs Editorial Team
Currently Ford only sells the Ford Focus Electric in three states. California, New York and New Jersey. And inside those states, dealerships who want to sell the Ford Focus Electric have to be part of Ford's "Certified Dealer Network", which consists of training sales and service staff on electric vehicles, bringing in special equipment, installing two 240 (L2) charging stations, and greenwashing streamlining the dealership to conserve energy.
To date, only 67 dealerships have been converted to accept Ford's first electric vehicle, the Focus Electric. However, Ford says that 16 more states will be added in the fall, and all states will have access to Ford's "electric vehicle lineup" by year's end, meaning the Focus Electric will be available across the country by Christmas.
While we realize that "Ford's electric vehicle lineup" at the moment, consists only of the Focus Electric, certified dealers are expecting more plug-in sales help in the near future. A lot more.
Nationwide, at all 3,200 Ford dealerships, the C-Max Hybrid goes on sale in September, but for the specialized EV dealerships, they will be getting the C-Max Energi and Fusion Energi plug-ins to sell alongside the Focus Electric just a few months later, beginning in early 2013.
Coming Soon: 2013 Ford Fusion Energi Plug-In
Ford has said that C-Max Energi plug-in will best the numbers of the Plug-In Prius, which achieves 87 MPGe and 11 miles of all-electric driving. Early estimates put the C-Max plug-in's all electric range at 20-25 miles.
The Fusion Energi has an expected efficiency rating of over 100 MPGe from the EPA when it goes on sale next year. That triple digit number would best not only the Prius plug-in, but the Chevrolet Volt as well, thanks in part to a next generation CVT transmission and an Atkinson Cycle gas engine. Full electric range for the Fusion is expected to be more than 25 miles.

Psaki Defends Hunter Biden's Expected Meetings with Potential Art Buyers
By Zachary Evans
About Zachary Evans
Press Secretary Jen Psaki checks her notes before answering a question during a press briefing at the White House in Washington, D.C., July 6, 2021. (Evelyn Hockstein/Reuters)
During a Thursday briefing, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki defended Hunter Biden's decision to meet with potential buyers of his art on the grounds that he won't be personally negotiating prices.
The president's son will attend two gallery showings of his paintings in Los Angeles and New York later this year, where he is expected to meet potential buyers, CBS reported on Wednesday. The paintings could be sold for as much as $500,000, an arrangement that has been criticized by various ethics experts.
"We have no way of monitoring whether people are buying access to the White House," Walter Shaub, head of the Office of Government Ethics from 2013 to 2017, told the Washington Post earlier this month.
Psaki claimed on Thursday that Hunter Biden will not "have any conversation related to the selling of art. That will be left to the gallerist" according to an arrangement the White House announced earlier this month.
"We believe that this is a reasonable system…that allows Hunter Biden to work in his profession with appropriate safeguards," Psaki added.
When a reporter asked why the White House wouldn't just release the names of the buyers, Psaki repeated that the White House and Hunter Biden will not know who the buyers are.
"We won't know who they are, so there's no scenario where they could provide influence," Psaki said.
"Can't they just announce on social media that they bought a painting?" the reporter asked.
"Again, I think we have set up a system…[that] has appropriate safeguards," Psaki responded. "We believe that Hunter Biden, just like any child of a president, should be able to pursue their professions and their passions, and any selling of the art will be through the gallerist."

Because HWS capability is still a very important capability, USMC, in collaboration with ONR, will continue research into the "art of the possible" regarding amphibious platforms and possible alternative landing craft. HWS, either as an independent amphibious vehicle and/or a connector-based capability, is the single most significant improvement necessary to enable the rapid build-up of combat power ashore.
ACV 2.0 serves as a conceptual placeholder for a future Decision Point (~ 2025, or sooner) at which time knowledge gained in the fielding and employment of the first phase of ACV (1.1 and 1.2), the state of the naval connector strategy, and S&T work towards a HWS capable self-deploying vehicle will support an informed decision.
The ACV 2.0 Decision Point preserves DoN/Marine Corps decision space, supports a sequential modernization approach, and provides for an affordable, phased modernization of legacy capability to enable extended range littoral maneuver.
The Office of Naval Research (ONR) will serve as the S&T lead for all ACV 2.0 and Connector activities. ONR is evaluating ongoing S&T investments to address Marine Corps' ACV 2.0 capability gaps, to include ACV Program Office R&D initiatives. ONR will evaluate research opportunities across the Naval S&T Enterprise related to three strategies: enhancements to legacy platforms that enable them to achieve higher water speed, new platform concepts for HWS amphibians, and future connectors to transport lower water speed platforms at high speed. ONR is forming an Integrated Product Team (IPT) to coordinate HWS S&T initiatives and identify specific investment areas.

Do you need to have aid on the vogue front? You struck it fortunate nowadays, simply because this article can help enhance your perspective towards style and give you some audio advice.
Keep away from getting one thing merely primarily based on price tag by yourself. Remember, no gown or other clothing item out there is ever really worth getting until it suits your style feeling properly and accentuates your body. Alternatively, it will languish in your closet, reminding you of funds you shouldn't have spent.
If you are in a struggle with frizz, you should steer clear of rubbing your hair dry when you exit the shower. This will only exacerbate your difficulty. Try patting your follicles alternatively. Once your hair has dried some, you can gently detangle with a vast-toothed comb.
Do you wear mascara? Avoid pumping the applicator in and out. Carrying out this really does not place a lot more on the brush, but it does entice air molecules in the bottle. That can develop micro organism. Shift your brush inside of the container as a safer substitute.
If you want to have a slimmer physical appearance, pick darkish colored apparel. Hues that are dark camouflage your human body measurement and de-emphasize unattractive bulges. Elastic waistbands can help make skirts far more cozy.
Clear out the closet. Obtaining a good deal of garments may possibly really feel like far more choices, but it just isn't always the truth. Surplus closet clutter in fact limitations your choices! Sift through every little thing and toss factors you do not put on routinely, find flattering or that will not in shape you nicely. A few pieces that are versatile and tasteful are more useful than previous clothes you may by no means use once more.
Is it time to update you denims? On getting into a retailer, you most likely observe jeans in a selection of cuts, suits and lengths. It can seem to be like a tiny way too much. Decide on the vintage styling of straight leg denims or boot minimize. You will get the most for your cash with these variations.
Fashion is a relatively subjective matter. Use the assets offered to you to get noticed and appreciated for your style tips. As soon as you do that, your feeling of style will flourish.

Animal protection organisations are increasing their efforts to cancel Rodeo China, which is currently supposed to be held from October 3rd-10th at the Olympic Stadium in Beijing.
A coalition of 71 animal groups held a second press conference on July 29th to share their findings on American rodeos. According to their report, the organisers and sponsors of Rodeo China are misleading the Chinese government and people by covering up the cruel nature of rodeos, the mortality and injury rates, and the decline in popularity of rodeos among Americans.
The coalition will send an open letter to Gary Locke, the United States Ambassador to China, to call on the US to stop exporting animal cruelty to China and to cancel the event. Please add your voice to this call and send an e-mail to [email protected] and [email protected].

Ravens and Texans meet to decide who's best in a struggling AFC
By By Jeff Zrebiec and The Baltimore Sun
The Houston Texans lost their top tackler two weeks ago when middle linebacker Brian Cushing went down with a season-ending knee injury. A week later, they were embarrassed by the Green Bay Packers, 42-24, on their home field as Aaron Rodgers threw six touchdown passes, the Texans couldn't run the football and their special teams faltered.
Earlier that day, the Ravens outlasted the mistake-prone Dallas Cowboys, 31-29. In the process, they lost their leading tackler (Ray Lewis) and best cornerback (Lardarius Webb) to season-ending injuries, allowed more than 200 rushing yards for a second straight week and hung onto a victory only after a late Dallas dropped two-point conversion and a missed field goal.
It was just one week in the topsy-turvy NFL, but neither team exited last Sunday looking like a legitimate Super Bowl contender or the class of the AFC. Yet when the conference's only two winning teams play Sunday afternoon at Houston's Reliant Stadium, the winner will improve to 6-1 and become the clear front runner in an AFC presently marred by mediocrity.
"We know whenever you get a chance to seize or take control of the [conference], you have to do that," Ravens tight end Ed Dickson said. "We have a chance to go on the road in a hostile environment and get on top of the [AFC]. We got a chance to go be No 1 in the [conference]. We're treating it like any other game, but deep in our minds, we're thinking about that."
Why shouldn't they? Even after playing just six games, even after losing two of their best defensive players and watching their once intimidating defense continually get gouged, the Ravens enter Sunday two games better than everybody else in the conference aside from the Texans.
[More from sports] After a record-breaking season ends early, John Harbaugh concedes that Ravens 'didn't play our game' »
That's because seven of the AFC's 16 teams, including the entire East division, take a 3-3 record into the weekend. It marks the furthest into an NFL season that a conference has just two winning teams.
"I think the longer you are around, the less surprised you get," said veteran Ravens center Matt Birk. "You realize that there is parity, and I think being a player, you understand that every team is good, every team is talented. Every week, there are a few games that surprise people, surprise the experts. It seems like it comes out of nowhere. I'm a little surprised that there are only two teams with winning records in the AFC, but we're only six games in. There's a lot of football to be played."
Sunday's game is a rematch of an AFC divisional playoff game from last season, and it features numerous subplots. The Texans have never beaten the Ravens in six tries. Arian Foster and Ray Rice are two of the game's best all-purpose backs. The Ravens' Vonta Leach, Jacoby Jones and Bernard Pollard return to Houston, where they used to play. Both defenses face questions about how they'll hold up in the absence of their top tackler and emotional leader.
More than anything, the game could serve as a showcase of the state of the AFC. Even with some recent issues and key injuries, the Texans and Ravens have played well enough to look down at a host of teams who have been unable to sustain any consistency as they near the midpoint of the season.
"I don't have a theory [on it]," Ravens linebacker Paul Kruger said when asked about the parity in the AFC. "There's a lot of good football players. It's just every week is going to be a challenge for any team, whoever they're playing, no matter what division. That's how I look at it. People have different theories, but I just think everybody is good. To be a dominant team in this league, you have to be really special."
[More from sports] The Ravens have tough decisions to make in free agency. Will their own history be a guide? »
For much of the past decade, the AFC has been considered the dominant conference, thanks largely to the extended success of the New England Patriots, Indianapolis Colts and Pittsburgh Steelers. But the NFC has won the last three Super Bowls and gotten the better of the recent head-to-head matchups.
NFC teams went 33-31 last season against the AFC, the first time since 1995 that the NFC had a winning record in such matchups. The success has continued into this season, as the NFC is 19-9 against AFC teams. That's a big reason why only two AFC teams currently have winning records.
Because his team had its first early afternoon home game of the season last Sunday, Ravens coach John Harbaugh had a chance to go home and watch games that he normally wouldn't have gotten to see. Harbaugh came away marveling at how closely matched teams in the NFL are.
"We see a lot of good football teams," said Harbaugh, whose team's last five games have essentially come down to the final possession. "It's crazy. Every game goes down to the wire. I don't know how these coaches do it in this league."
Like Harbaugh, Texans coach Gary Kubiak feels like it's too early to draw any conclusions.
[More from sports] Houston transfer QB D'Eriq King to visit Maryland this weekend, according to source »
"I think there is great balance in this league," he said. "Everybody has a good core of players, and yet, everybody in this league goes through tough times with injuries and those types of things, which can change things week to week. It's one or two plays a week that are the difference in whether or not you win or lose. So, it doesn't surprise me. It's a league where you battle all year long, and you try to get yourself in position in that last month to be playing good enough to hopefully win a championship."
Kubiak's players said all week that they had moved on from the loss to the Packers, while the Ravens spent the week preaching "next man up" after losing Lewis and Webb. Both sides cautioned that it is way too early to examine the potential ramifications of Sunday's outcome. However, with so many teams in the AFC struggling to stay afloat, it's almost impossible not to.
"No matter what happens, I think we're both going to come from the game still feeling pretty good about where we are," Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco said. "It's a good test, and it will be a great game. I'm sure that both teams are going to want to go into this game and be able to come out saying that they are the winner. That's really where we are right now."

Four dental hygienists to be recognized at 2018 Sunstar/RDH Award of Distinction ceremony
Four dental hygienists will be recognized for their service to dentistry and dental patients during a ceremony for the 2018 Sunstar/RDH Award of Distinction on August 2 in National Harbor, Md.
The four recipients were chosen by a panel of judges coordinated by Sunstar Americas and RDH magazine. The ceremony will be hosted during the RDH Under One Roof conference at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center.
The 2018 recipients of the Sunstar/RDH Award of Distinction are:
Susan Cotten, RDH, BSDH, OMT, Integrative RDH, Westminster, Colorado
Jasmin Haley, RDH, MSDH, CDA, Randallstown, Maryland
Rhoda Kublickis, RDH, MHS, FAADH, FEMORS, Lauderdale by the Sea, Florida
Lesley Tuomi, RDH, BSDH, REF, Richfield, Minnesota
"Since 2002, the Award of Distinction has taken the opportunity to identify dental hygienists who have embraced change and made a difference on a broad spectrum," said Jackie Sanders, manager of professional relations at Sunstar. "This year, these selected individuals will join 117 previous award recipients, becoming members of a distinguished group of dental hygiene professionals. We are impressed with the achievements of these honorees and proud to honor and recognized all Sunstar/RDH Award of Distinction recipients."
Cotten was praised for her treatment of a cancer patient, "Evelyn," while a member of the Donny Osmond Make a Difference Program in 2011. The experience led Cotten to start a business, Oral Cancer Consulting, that aids dentists and dental hygienists in developing screening protocols for oral cancer. She is also a regional coordinator for the Oral Cancer Foundation and works at the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless as an integrative dental hygienist.
Haley is a member of the Preparing the Future program through the Jacques Initiative at the University of Maryland School of Medicine that helps educate local communities about HIV and hepatitis C. She is an adjunct educator at Howard Community College, a podcaster, and a presenter of programs of interest to the dental hygiene profession while managing a business, Beyond the Prophy.
Kublickis, who is a professional educator with Xlear Inc., was singled out for her work as a dental forensic expert since 2008, responding to mass fatality and criminal incidents, providing closure for strangers dealing with a loss. She is also an active volunteer for numerous dental charity events in her community.[Native Advertisement]
Tuomi provides dental services for underprivileged students in North Minneapolis. She leads a school screening program consisting of various health professionals that provides dental, vision, hearing, and nutritional services. She is most proud of her unwavering commitment to her community.
All four recipients will be profiled in more detail in the September 2018 issue of RDH magazine.

El Terremoto de Atenas de 2019 se produjo a las 2:13 p.m. el viernes 19 de julio de 2019 en la capital de Grecia y afectó a millones de atenienses. La intensidad del seísmo, recogida por distintos centros de medición fue, según la escala sismológica de magnitud de momento (MW), de 5,1 y el epicentro se situó al sur del macizo del Parnés,  aproximadamente 20 km al noroeste de la zona metropolitana de Atenas. El 7 de septiembre de 1999, Atenas ya había sido sacudida por otro terremoto de intensidad MW= 6.

El temblor causó cortes del fluido eléctrico y cortes telefónicos durante al menos dos horas en el entorno de Atenas.

Sismicidad y vulnerabilidad
La situación física de Grecia con una estructura tectónica compleja, con sistemas montañosos importantes y una fuerte actividad sísmica, concentrada en el arco helénico, facilitan este tipo de fenómeno en Atenas.

Para determinar la intensidad del seísmo de 2019, a lo largo de una semana desde que se produjera, un equipo de investigación del Departamento de Geología y de Medioambiente de la Universidad de Atenas (NKUA), encuestó a personas que vivían en las afueras de Atenas y en varias ciudades cercanas al epicentro. Los investigadores recogieron 63 cuestionarios con testimonios del temblor que aplicaron a la escala de intensidad EMS-98 y aportaron 48 fotos de daños.

Datos del Centro Sismológico Euromediterráneo
El Centro Sismológico Euromediterráneo (CSEM), que cuenta con 84 miembros, todos ellos institutos sismológicos de 55 países, utiliza los testimonios de los temblores tal como son percibidos por los ciudadanos para hacer una estimación de la intensidad del seísmo. El CSEM pregunta a las personas que acaban de padecer un terremoto con dibujos que ilustran los 12 niveles de la escala de intensidad EMS-98. Este procedimiento es muy rápido y es esencial para un conocimieno inmediato de la situación.

En el terremoto de Atenas de 2019, el 76% de los testimonios recibidos por el CSEM se recogieron en la primera hora que siguió a los temblores, permitiendo una información casi en tiempo real.

Kyle Beach to meet with Blackhawks, losing streak extends to 9 games, Jeremy Colliton's job security: 5 thoughts
By Scott Powers
ST. LOUIS — First off before we get into Saturday's game, there is some news about Kyle Beach to report.
His lawyer, Susan Loggans, said Saturday that she and Beach will be meeting with the Blackhawks on Tuesday. Blackhawks CEO Danny Wirtz recently said he had told the Blackhawks lawyers to "see if we can reach a fair resolution consistent with the totality of the circumstances." Tuesday will begin that process.
Beach and Loggans aren't exactly taking the Blackhawks at their word. Beach wrote in a recent tweet, "Although the results of the private investigation have been released, and the Blackhawks have apologized, my battle is really just beginning as the Blackhawks continue to attempt to destroy my case in court."
The Blackhawks did file a motion last week to dismiss Beach's case, but the Blackhawks have said that was simply procedural.
Asked about Beach's tweet, Loggans said, "Although they say they want to settle within hours, they filed more papers to dismiss the case. So although they were entitled to do that, they're obviously continuing to try to position and avoid pain as much as they can. I don't see any sign that they really accept responsibility."
1. Let's get to Saturday's game. The Blackhawks lost 1-0 to the St. Louis Blues and dropped their ninth consecutive game to begin the season. It's now the second-longest losing streak to begin an NHL season. The 1943-44 New York Rangers own the record with 11 consecutive losses.
It's difficult to write that and then write "but," but here I go. Despite Saturday's result, it did feel like a game the Blackhawks would have been OK with if they didn't have the losing streak hanging over them. The Blues were the better team, but it was a solid road effort. The result came down to the Blackhawks' inability to score and taking two penalties in the first six minutes of the third period.
"Yeah, we definitely played better than previous games," Blackhawks forward Alex DeBrincat said. "It's still frustrating we don't get enough to score goals obviously to win the game. We're here to win. We can say we played well all we want, but if we're not winning, it doesn't mean anything. We got to keep going, get our first win under our belt and move on from there."
2. I know a majority of fans want Jeremy Colliton fired yesterday. From what I've heard, I don't think it's going to happen soon.
As one source put it Saturday, the dust has to settle on many fronts for the Blackhawks before they can really do anything else. It also sounds like the Blackhawks' leadership realizes the past week was taxing on everyone within the organization. The source wasn't making excuses, but they did believe the analytics would even themselves out over time and that it was still worth noting that they are without Patrick Kane, Henrik Borgström, Jujhar Khaira and Riley Stillman due to COVID-19 and Tyler Johnson, Caleb Jones and Wyatt Kalynuk due to injury.
I know that's not what a lot of people want to hear. Truthfully, the on-ice product is somewhat secondary to the organization right now while it tries to maneuver through everything else.
3. We've yet to hear from Kyle Davidson, but he did make his first hockey decision as interim general manager. It wasn't a huge move, but calling up Isaak Phillips recently was technically his first transaction.
It's tough to read into the call-up too much, but Phillips hadn't been chosen while Stan Bowman was general manager. Bowman spoke highly of Phillips, but Bowman did seem to favor Ian Mitchell and Nicolas Beaudin, two players he drafted in the early rounds. Brian Campbell is a fan of Phillips, so Campbell might have had some influence on who was called up. Campbell did sit with Davidson at the Blackhawks' morning skate earlier in the week.
I also think Davidson and Bowman didn't see eye to eye on every hockey decision. It'll be interesting whether we see some divergence from Bowman as Davidson settles into the role. That might also factor into Davidson giving Colliton some more time. Davidson has had a lot to process in the past week and could use some time to find his footing.
4. The only concern the Blackhawks might have with being too patient with any hockey decisions is their lack of a first-round pick in the 2022 draft. It's somewhat of a disaster if they don't make the playoffs, which seems pretty likely as of today, and don't have that pick. It's a major disaster if a lottery ball puts that selection in the 3-6 range and the Columbus Blues Jackets possess that selection. It is top-two protected, so that would be the Blackhawks' only hope if they end up one of the worst teams in the league.
5. Saturday's game was definitely Marc-André Fleury's best since joining the Blackhawks. He made big save after big save all night and finished with 36 saves.
His personal slow start and the team's slump have definitely been weighing on him.
"Very frustrating, embarrassing," Fleury said of the past month. "Coming in, I wanted to help the team. I wanted to get some wins. We haven't won yet. We had some hype with our team, with the new acquisitions this summer, and younger guys having a little more experience this season. We all expected more out of our team, and it's been tough. It's been tough to keep smiling, keep staying positive through it. But we'll try our best with practicing trying to turn things around. We've got to get out of this hole, and soon."

I enjoyed your special Brooklyn section, but found several of the articles bizarre in the extreme.
First there was "Go East, Young Man," about a young white man who feels like a "pioneer" because he lives on Bogart Street, the street where Francie was born in "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn." Bogart Street is said to be in a "no-man's land between Bushwick and East Williamsburg" that the man wants to call "MoJo."
Since East Williamsburg is often called Bushwick (except by realtors), I think it's safe to say he lives in Bushwick. He truly is a pioneer, making up a new name for the area just because he moved in. Also, like the pioneers, he sees the local land use (light industry) as irrelevant and thinks that his people can improve it with their preferred land use (cafes).
Then there was the article by the landlord's daughter who discovered her neighbor's rotting corpse ("I Felt the Cycle of Life Complete Itself," by Elizabeth Gaffney), and was "thrilled it worked out this way" since now she can join her apartment to the dead man's.
These stories were even more disquieting than the articles about the terrible effects of gentrification. They are parables of how Brooklyn could be eaten up by the clueless and the greedy.
