Five elementary schoolers suffer concussions in disturbing Massachusetts youth football game
Prep Rally October 22, 2012, 7:21 PM UTC
It's the kind of incident that is rapidly making youth football a less palatable option for parents across the country. In a single Massachusetts Pop Warner Pee Wee division game, five players suffered concussions, left the game and then re-entered the action at a later point.
The tale of horrendous player management from the Pop Warner ranks in the Bay State was first reported by the Boston Globe and has since been covered by a variety of other media organizations in the Boston area, including MyFoxBoston. The injured players were all members of the Tantasqua Pop Warner program between the ages of 10 and 12, and were left with even more embarrassment when they also suffered a 52-0 loss at the hands of their Southbridge Pop Warner opponents.
"Having multiple concussions in one game is something that should never happen, ever,'' said Patrick Inderwish, president of Central Mass. Pop Warner, told the Globe. "One concussion is too many.
"[The game was marked by] bad officiating and decision-making by the coaches and all other parties involved. That game doesn't represent what Pop Warner stands for in any way."
According to the Globe, all five elementary schoolers missed school days following their concussions. Making matters worse, one of those head injuries came after the game should have been halted; Pop Warner regulations call for a game to be stopped once a team takes a 28-0 lead, yet both teams ignored that mercy rule in the one-sided drubbing.
The discipline taken against coaches of both teams from Pop Warner officials has been significant. Both coaches were suspended for the remainder of the 2012 season and placed on probation throughout the 2013 season. Additionally, the president of the Tantasqua Pop Warner association and the president of the Southbridge Pop Warner association were handed identical bans, all as punishment for not stepping in to safeguard their players.
The officials who worked the game were also suspended for failing to exert control over matters as they unfolded.
Perhaps most disturbingly, because the Tantasqua players' concussions went undiagnosed they were allowed to keep playing, putting them at significant risk of a much more devastating head injury.
There have been no early indications that such a disastrous consequence occurred, though the officials from both leagues deserve no significant credit for that.
Rather, everyone involved in the shocking five-concussion game should probably take a long, hard look at themselves for the lack of action that caused five elementary school students to miss school time and put themselves at significant danger of lasting injury, all in the name of continuing a one-sided blowout of a youth football game.

Find Help for Urinary Problems
Too Embarrassed To Tell Your Doc?
Women wait more than six years, on average, before they speak up about urinary symptoms a shame, since there are simple ways to find relief
By Sari Harrar Published: Mar 6, 2012
Anna Albrecht was a fit 31-year-old mother of two when the Big Leak happened one day. "I was jumping rope at the gym when — splash! — I completely wet my pants," she recalls. "I was so embarrassed." So did Albrecht go to the doctor? "Not for seven years," she admits. "I just didn't jump rope."
The leaks have stopped, thanks to a class aimed at strengthening her pelvic floor — the hammock of muscles that supports the internal organs, including the bladder, bowels, and uterus. "It made a huge difference — I can jump rope or go out dancing and stay dry," says Albrecht, 47, of La Grange, IL.
Leaks, urinary pain, wild sprints to the ladies' room, and a purse packed with pads are a reality for millions of American women. Yet two out of three of us never tell our doctors, and those who do speak up have waited, on average, 6.5 years. Instead, we cross our legs with every sneeze, scope out the fastest route to the toilet at parties, and hope for the aisle seat at movies and on airplanes.
"Talking about it can be embarrassing," says urogynecologist Sharon Knight, M.D., at the University of California, San Francisco. "Or women think it's an inevitable consequence of childbearing and aging and that nothing can be done."
If that's you, here's the headline: Women's biggest urinary problems are all treatable. Often, easy solutions like exercises, weight loss, and a couple of new habits (goodbye, diet-cola refills!) work wonders. Even when the problem is stubborn, there are new, effective treatments. (Out: cranberry juice to treat bladder infections. In: behavioral therapy for "tiny bladder syndrome.")
If you've got annoying symptoms, read the scenarios below, then learn about the newest ways to fix the problem you're not talking about.
You leak when you laugh, cough, sneeze, exercise, carry heavy stuff, or have sex.
DIAGNOSIS Stress incontinence
WHAT'S HAPPENING Pregnancy, childbirth, extra pounds, declining estrogen levels in perimenopause and menopause, and normal age-related muscle loss can all weaken pelvic-floor muscles, resulting in more pressure on your bladder and on your urethra — the tube that carries urine out of your bladder.
STAT It's the most common form of incontinence in women, affecting one in four from ages 25 through 44 and one in three from 45 through 64.
BEST FIXES Start with low-tech solutions, which significantly improve or even "cure" stress incontinence for most women:
WEIGHT LOSS Dropping pounds eases the pressure on your bladder and pelvic floor, says Kristene Whitmore, M.D., chair of urology and female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery at Drexel University College of Medicine in Philadelphia. "In one study, women who lost 17 pounds reduced leaking episodes nearly 50%." Even those who lost a mere three pounds were 28% drier.
SMARTER SIPPING Chugging multiple cups of coffee inflates your bladder like a ready-to-burst water balloon. Instead, sip water or herbal tea slowly, over a half hour or an hour, Dr. Whitmore suggests. Cut back on caffeine, carbonation, alcohol, artificial sweeteners, citrus, and tomato juice, all of which can irritate your bladder.
DAILY KEGELS For nearly half the women in a 2010 study, pelvic-floor-strengthening exercises helped a lot, stopping at least three-quarters of leaks. "If you isolate the right muscles and do the exercises daily, you'll start getting results in six to eight weeks," says Chicago-based pelvic-floor physical therapist Judith Florendo. (See )
STILL LEAKING? A specially fitted vaginal pessary, a rubber device somewhat like a contraceptive diaphragm, can lift your bladder and keep your urethra shut. Sling surgery uses a synthetic material to support the urethra in a position that reduces pressure. Another option: injections of a gel-like substance to thicken the wall of the urethra. Your M.D. can help you figure out which option is best for you.
You have sudden urges to go — and can't always hold it
DIAGNOSIS Overactive bladder/urge incontinence (or "tiny bladder syndrome")
WHAT'S HAPPENING Your bladder is calling the shots instead of your brain. "As your bladder fills with urine, it decides when it wants to go — contracting even though the brain hasn't sent the signal," explains uro-gynecologist Shameem Abbasy, M.D., of Swedish Covenant Hospital in Chicago. Diuretic drugs, diabetes, nerve damage, and serious neurological conditions can cause this disconnect, though in most cases, no one knows why the condition develops.
STAT Some 17% of women have experienced the "gotta go now" symptoms of overactive bladder. A third of them also have stress incontinence.
BEST FIXES Try behavioral therapy strategies. For both overactive bladder and combo symptoms, they can improve or even resolve incontinence, say University of Minnesota researchers, who reviewed 99 studies:
A BLADDER DIARY Track when you went, what you were doing just before, and your food and drink intake for three days. Since urge incontinence is often tied to specific cues, a diary can help you uncover them. "You may discover you always have urges in the same situations, such as when you put the key in the front door or when you go from a warm environment to a cold one," says Michael Guralnick, M.D., associate professor of urology at the Medical College of Wisconsin. "You may find connections with drinking large amounts of fluid or with certain beverages. I've got plenty of sophisticated diagnostic equipment, but the bladder diary is one of the best tools for seeing patterns and finding solutions."
BLADDER RETRAINING You set times for bathroom breaks, then gradually increase the intervals between them. "The goal is to break your bladder's cycle of going whenever it feels like it," explains Dr. Guralnick. "By delaying for a few more minutes every few weeks, you're training it to hold more urine and to stay relaxed so you have time to walk to the bathroom."
MIND-BODY THERAPIES Hypnotherapy with visualization techniques and mindfulness-based stress reduction are both showing promise for urge incontinence. In one small study, the hypnotherapy/mental-imagery approach helped cut the average number of urge episodes by at least half per week.
Anna Raisor, 56, who works in website technology for a large corporation, had mixed stress and urge incontinence that began in her 30s and kept her from meeting friends for dinner or taking her two children on outdoor adventures. "I went for help when it got so bad I couldn't get in the door after work without an accident," says Raisor, who lives in Oak Park, IL. "The training helped me learn to relax and hold it, even on the commuter train."
QUICK FLICKS Kegels also come in handy, says Florendo: "When you have the urge to go, doing a couple of fast squeezes — called 'quick flicks' — can calm the bladder."
STILL LEAKING? Try acupuncture. In one Oregon Health and Science University study of 85 women, just four weekly sessions reduced accidents 59%. And there are many medications — tolterodine (Detrol) and solifenacin (Vesicare) are well-known ones — your doctor may prescribe.
Burning pain and frequent urges, plus cloudy urine and sometimes fever
DIAGNOSIS A urinary tract infection (UTI)
WHAT'S HAPPENING Thanks to its short length and its proximity to the rectum, a woman's urethra practically encourages bacteria to come on in. Sex leads to nearly 80% of bladder infections before menopause. Low estrogen after menopause boosts UTI odds by making the vaginal wall thinner and more susceptible to bacteria, which can be transmitted to the bladder, Dr. Abbasy says.
STAT About 50% of women have had at least one UTI; some 20% to 30% get repeat infections, often as frequently as every few months.
BEST FIXES Skip the cranberry juice — two cups a day worked no better than a placebo juice to stop repeat UTIs in a 2010 University of Michigan study of 319 women. Instead, try:
ANTIBIOTICS Generally, doctors prescribe a three- to seven-day course of a bacteria-fighting drug like sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim (Bactrim) or ciprofloxacin (Cipro). "But drug resistance is growing," Dr. Whitmore says, "so you may need a different antibiotic to stop an infection." If you tend to have recurrent UTIs, your doctor may prescribe a longer course of a low-dose formula. In a 2011 European study of 221 women prone to repeat UTIs, those who took antibiotics were half as likely to have another infection as those who took capsules containing a cranberry extract.
ESTROGEN CREAM For postmenopausal women, topical estrogen cream, applied in very small quantities on or inside the vagina, strengthens tissue in the urinary area, says Dr. Whitmore.
EVERYTHING YOUR MOM SAID Wiping front-to-back, especially after a bowel movement; changing out of a wet bathing suit pronto — Mom was right. (Urinating after sex, which she might not have mentioned, is also wise.) Probiotics, found in yogurt with live active cultures (check the carton), may help, too. So can wearing cotton-crotch underwear, which makes the area drier and less bacteria-friendly.
Your urine stream is slow, stops and starts, or doesn't empty your bladder completely. You may also have pain during sex
DIAGNOSIS Pelvic-floor muscle dysfunction
WHAT'S HAPPENING Your pelvic-floor muscles are always tense. "With normal urination, the bladder muscle contracts while the urethra and pelvic-floor muscles relax," Dr. Knight explains. "If these muscles can't relax, you can have urinary problems."
STAT Experts aren't sure how widespread the problem is or what causes it, but they believe it may be what underlies pelvic pain for many women.
BEST FIXES Don't do Kegels on your own — they can further tighten muscles. These techniques can help:
PHYSICAL THERAPY A physical therapist may use biofeedback to teach you to relax these muscles, which helps about 75% of the time. She can also check for weakness or spasms in the muscles of your lower back and hips that can make your pelvic floor tense up. Ask your doctor for names of therapists who specialize in pelvic-floor disorders.
AT-HOME SOOTHING Breathing exercises, whole-body relaxation techniques, soaking in a warm bath, and heating pads or ice packs (as recommended by a doctor or trained physical therapist) can also help.
MEDICATIONS Your doctor may prescribe muscle relaxants and drugs that ease nerve pain, along with physical therapy.
You have difficulty starting to urinate and/or can't completely empty your bladder. You may feel bulges in the wall of your vagina, as well as pressure, low-back pain, or pain during sex
DIAGNOSIS Pelvic-organ prolapse
WHAT'S HAPPENING Weakened muscles of the pelvic floor and stretched-out connective tissue give way so that your bladder, uterus, and/or rectum presses into the wall of the vagina. Having had pelvic surgeries or several vaginal births, carrying extra weight, and aging all raise risk.
STAT Three out of four women ultimately have at least some degree of pelvic-organ prolapse. Usually it's mild, but 11% will eventually need surgery.
BEST FIXES Kegels may keep mild prolapse from getting worse, Dr. Knight says. If you need more support and want to avoid surgery, a pessary can help. "About 80% of women with prolapse can successfully be fitted with a pessary," she adds.
1. Find the right muscles
To isolate your pelvic-floor muscles before exercising them: Contract the muscles you use to stop the passing of gas. You can also try to stop the flow of urine while you're on the toilet, but not as an exercise — you'll confuse the normal brain/bladder reflex system.
2. Exercise slowly and fast
You want to strengthen both fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscle fibers, so you won't leak when you sneeze and so you can go all day without a problem. The long hold: Relax your body as you tighten your pelvic-floor muscles; hold the squeeze for five to 10 seconds, then relax for five to 10 seconds. Repeat. Build up to holding the squeeze for a count of 10, and do 20 repeats. The quick flick: Do a fast, strong squeeze, then release. Relax for five to 10 seconds; repeat. Work up to 20 per day.
3. Change positions
If Kegels are difficult, start while lying down. Later do them seated, then standing. Eventually, do them in any position that makes you leak — such as when you go from sitting to standing — and at times that cue strong urges — when you wash your hands, for example.

This can happen only in Mumbai, no where else.
Only local train passengers in Mumbai will know how helpful commuters try to be. Once, a hapless victim fell prey to the over enthusiastic Mumbai's local train commuters.
Our hero, a man from Pune, wanted to go to Matunga (a stop on a way to south Mumbai), but as misfortune and trains would have it, he boarded a fast train not halting at his destination. He panicked on realizing his mistake but by then the local had already started moving.
The train did slow down just before Matunga station and at the prompting of his mentor, our hero jumped out of the train and started running as if all hell had broken loose. What he didn't realize, of course, was that he was running parallel to the train instead of running away from it.
Meanwhile, the train slowed down further, and the man was running faster than the train. In the process, he reached the door of the next compartment and the foot-board commuters there pulled him in thinking he was trying to board the train! To his agony, train picked up speed and sped past Matunga and his new co-passengers started to congratulate him on how lucky he had been, until he told them that they had actually undone what he had done with great difficulty.
Those standing at the door of his "ex-compartment" had witnessed the whole drama and just couldn't stop laughing at the poor man's plight, while he grinned sheepishly!
Mumbai is really funny. and its people as well. But its the best city in the world. A person sitting next to you in train would be a millionaire, but he would have any air about it.

Among other things, the bulk of my days are spent on freelance writing/editing, household chores, and child-related activities. It's these other things that seem to make or break my days. They are often ME moments I spend relaxing or doing something that I enjoy.
It's easy to say you should find your happy, but it's MUCH harder in practice to find the time, energy, and motivation for these activities. Here are a couple of ways I find my happy, but you do whatever works for YOU!
Here are some interesting Olympics facts for your final Friday of the 2018 Winter games. Why? Because the Olympics are awesome!
The renowned American composer, John Williams, has been a composer for Olympic music since 1984. His 1996 piece "Bugler's Dream and Olympic Fan" can be heard on NBC during coverage of the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea. Williams has composed music for four different Olympics (1984, 1988, 1996 and 2002). He is also well-known for some of the most recognizable film scores, including Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Jurassic Park.
The IOC typically selects a host city about 7 years prior to the games. PyeongChang, South Korea (pronounced Pee-Yung-Chong NOT Pee-Yong-Chang) won the bid over cities in Germany and France. The 2018 games represents the first time that South Korea has hosted the Winter Olympics (they hosted the 1988 Summer games in Seoul). PyeongChang actually refers to the county, rather than a city. The majority of the games are actually being held in Daegwallyeong-myeon (mountain events) and Gangneung (ice events).
Although not a highlight of the games, one of the things I loved about the 2018 Winter Olympics is their very symbolic and unique torch relay. According to wikipedia, "there were 7,500 torch bearers to represent the Korean population of 75 million people. There were also 2018 support runners to guard the torch and act as messengers." I love how they represented their nation in this unique way. I also loved the various different ways they used to transport the torch, including a zip wire, cable car, turtle ship, robots, and steam train!
Pita Taufatofua – While most people recognize him as the shirtless flag-bearer from Tonga, I was impressed by his appearance for another reason. Despite living in a tropical nation with no snow, Taufatofua (who competed in taekwondo at the 2016 Summer games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) switched to cross-country skiing. He managed to qualify for the 2018 Winter games on the final day of the qualification period.
Adam Rippon – Not only does this figure skater have his own signature move, dubbed the "Rippon Lutz", he is also the first openly gay U.S. male athlete to win a medal at the Winter Olympics (bronze in the 2018 team event). He is also an outspoken advocate for LGBTQ rights and against quiet starvation in athletics.
Askel Lund Svindal – After a skiing accident in 2016, Svindal damaged his knee and underwent surgery on it in January 2017. Despite these setbacks, Svindal became his Norway's first downhill gold medallist at the 2018 games, and at the age of 35 he is the oldest man to win an alpine skiing gold.
Vincent Zhou – At age 17, he's the youngest American competing at the 2018 winter games. During his short program, he landed a quad lutz. A quad lutz is the most difficult move currently recognized as achievable! Nobody before him has ever successfully landed one at the games before.
A month ago today, I quit my job to stay-at-home. It's been both exactly what I expected and not what I expected at all.
So far, my schedule has been pretty erratic. I'd like to think that's just because I haven't established a routine, but mostly I haven't had a chance to start to form one. The last four weeks have been a mixture of inconsistencies between the schedule for the family and my own work.
I'd like to hope that a typical schedule will gradually develop, but I am starting to think that anything resembling an average week went out the window a month ago.
For now, it's just playing it by ear and see how things go.

1) I remember my dreams for days and even weeks after they happen in very good detail.
2) More than 90% of my dreams involve an amusement park of some sorts.
As great as this might sound it's not. In real life, I love amusement parks. I love love love rollercoasters. But these dreams I have are never good dreams. Something always goes wrong. I'm stuck in line that never ends. Or once the line ends, I realize I don't have enough tickets to ride. Sometimes I can't even find the ride I'm looking for in my dream. And even when I do find it, once I ride it I spend the whole time wishing I was riding something else.
"Marlie, writing is your gift. You should write a book. God has amazing things planned for you." . Then, I remember, I had this moment and thought "Huh. Maybe, writing is my thing. Some people can sing. Some can dance. But I can write." And shortly after that clicked in my head, I started having amusement park dreams. Why? Well, I think I finally figured it out. I'll start with reality and tie it back to my dream just to keep things clear.
Even with the knowledge that writing is my gift and the immense joy it has brought me to to glorify God with it, I struggle lot in the whole writing process. I've written a whole blog and deleted it out of fear. I have like six or seven half written blogs on my computer because I was convinced it's dumb or no one wants to read it. Or that it is not biblically accurate. I want to write a book but I am afraid. I am afraid that I am not qualified enough. I am too young. I have too much to learn. I have to go seminary if I want to be a christian author or speaker. I am almost positive that I'll reach this moment when I get to publish a book or go on a speaking tour and fail because I don't know enough. It's a silly fear right because God is providing everything I need but I am still afraid. Similar to the roller coaster dreams I have where I reach the front of the line to get on the ride but I don't have enough tickets to ride it. I'm not qualified.
I do not say all of this to build me up but to just state the frustration of the matter. I have had so many people from so many different walks of life say: "Marlie, God has great plans for you." Or "Marlie, you are going to do great things. I can't wait to see all that God have planned for you." I can't count how many times I have heard this. (I know they mean well because I say it to people as well. I'm genuinely excited to hear what they do with their life, too. But, that puts us young people in a perpetual state of waiting. No wonder we aren't satisfied. We are waiting for our lives to start because in a way people are telling us that our lives have not started yet. Encourage people using the present tense. "You are doing great things." "I can see God doing so much through you") So when a lot of people express how they excited are for me, I get excited too. Wondering what it is going to be like, imagining the future. I am so anxious and eager for this "great plan" to start. It is like my roller coaster dream. I wait in line for the whole dream, seeing other people ride it, hearing about the ride and how great it is, but never getting to ride it myself because I am still waiting for my turn. I am waiting…still waiting. Waiting for that dream of being a christian blogger/author/speaker to become a reality.
Lately, I've been watching a ton of youtube. There's a whole culture of people who post videos of themselves and their life experiences and get a huge response. As the world of Vlogs grow, I feel as though the blogging world is fading away. Sometimes I get bitter and say that the blogging world isn't as fun, or creative or awesome as the vlogging world. Frankly, I wish I had the ability to talk in front of camera and just word-vomit my devotions into a video. (people do that, and it works.) I, however, was blessed to be an introvert so I do thrive in this environment of sitting and expressing myself through the written word. BUT, still I struggle with comparison. Wishing I could be a cool vlogger, a singer, a dancer, or good at any thing that people can see right a way. Being a good writer is tough because it isn't out there for everyone to see all the time. Like with dancers, hey you dance, and then they do and they are good. I heard a quote once: "Comparison is the thief of joy." How true is that. I am so robbed of daily joy because I am comparing myself, my talents, my life and gifts to those of another person. Last night, I had a dream that I was getting on a ride that looked really fun and I actually got on it! But instead of enjoying the ride I was on, I was so focused on the extravagant and awesome looking ride that was in front of me, the ride I was on ended and I realized I had missed the whole thing because I was focused on the cooler/better ride.

The Verge Q+A: Artist (And Work of Art Guest Judge) Jon Kessler
By Rose Meacham
jon-kessler.jpg
Last week on the new Bravo show Work of Art, we were shocked when Trong, the only contestant who had previously established himself in the art world, was eliminated. In that same episode, we met guest judge Jon Kessler, a mid-media sculptor, best known for his work with a variety of video monitors. He is currently preparing for an exhibition at the Kunsthalle Wien museum in Vienna, playing in his band X-Patsys, and teaching graduate students at Columbia University's School of the Arts. Kessler spoke with GQ about his experience on reality TV.

Were you involved with planning the challenge?
I pitched a few ideas and they didn't take any of my ideas... The original challenge was going to let them go in a Salvation Army Depot. So it would be clothing, paintings, records, books, everything you could find in a Salvation Army. I loved that idea. And then the night before, they called me and they said "In fact there was a problem and we're actually not going to have access to the entire Salvation Army. We're just going to have appliances that are going to be in the Salvation Army loading dock." And then all of a sudden I got really nervous, because I thought it was starting to cater the challenge too much towards me and my work... It was sort of like, "Bravo, yeah, I might have signed my contract, but you're throwing a curve ball here."
So you were going to drop out at the last minute?
The night before. I had sympathy. I knew they were figuring out some stuff... The spontaneity I was sort of into, but when they called me and said it was going to be an appliance graveyard... I was thinking, "So you've got Andres Serrano as the shock art judge. Are you going to have, like, crucifis and piss jars in order for them to make their work?" It was too close to home. And then it turns out that I didn't have to worry...
Do you think that was helpful for the contestants, because your feedback had a chance to be more applicable to their work?
I think it was a really successful episode, but you have to remember we were all walking on pins and needles before the show was filmed. Like really, "What is this [show] going to be?" Sort of a little bit like blind faith. So when they threw that curveball it was like "Oh my god. I am getting screwed here. They're going to reduce my work to a soundbite like, Jon Kessler, the guy who works with appliances. And now here's the appliances." So it was a worry. But it turned out to be fine... And they put together a very good team. I'm kind of really impressed. They had great intuition and the right advisers.
Were you happy that Miles won?
That's a great piece.
Was it down to Miles and Nicole in the end?
Yeah it was.
It was surprising that Nicole didn't win, based on her design background and work in sculpture.
I'm kind of surprised that the footage they showed of her was more of the destructive girl in high heels with a sledge hammer. There's a lot of subtle complexity with that piece that did not necessarily get air time. Miles's piece was amazing. We knew it was going to blow people's minds... There was some discussion as to whether he should win a second episode in a row. But it was between him and Nicole, and he scraped by.
Was there one thing that tipped the scale towards Miles?
In the end, I think it was just more radical... I think we were all challenged by this piece that we all couldn't fully understand. And let's face it, that's what you want: that piece of art that you keep coming back to and learn more about and continually get something from.
Jerry Saltz said that the format of the show slightly resembles a formal critique that artists would receive in an MFA program. As a Columbia professor, do you agree?
It was a 14-hour judging, which on air only takes about 15 minutes. In that entire, crazy 14-hour period of hurry-up-and-wait, make-up, check your mic, nothing felt real... And, I have to say, the crit with the contestants was very real. That's when I knew that there was going to be what's on the show and then there's going to be _what actually happened _that lives on in the minds of the contestants and judges... But yes, I think that part felt very real to me and very similar to what I do at school.
The show might make art more accessible to a wider audience.
I was intrigued after seeing American Idol and Top Chef that you can take the creative process and get people to see that it's a very exciting and powerful thing... And it's the end of modernism, let's face it... I felt like if the show is done right, then there could be kids out in the middle of nowhere who are watching the show and think, "Hey let's go... form a community arts group." I would hate to predetermine what these things turn into. But I would hate not to do them and have the art world just exist in Chelsea and the Guggenheim. What surprised me is that since my episode was aired... now I go to my Pilates studio and people are talking about Miles, and they're talking about Nao. You actually care about these people. That was kind of a revelation.

Google likely to change listings for tourism operators after the internet giant buys Frommer's travel guide
Engel Schmidl / Wednesday, August 15, 2012
Google has acquired the Frommer's travel guides in a move which is likely to impact the online listings of travel and tourism operators in Australia.
Frommer's is a travel guide series based in the United States which dates back to 1957, when the founder, Arthur Frommer, published Europe on Five Dollars a Day.
The purchase signals Google's growing focus on providing content rather than just web searches.
The Frommer's deal follows the internet giant's recent acquisition of restaurant guide Zagat, whose reviews and ratings have been incorporated into Google+ local business listings.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the Frommer's brand will be melded with the Zagat brand under the terms of the deal estimated to be worth $25 million.
Frommer's content about local businesses around the world, including in Australia, could provide added content to Google+ business listings where both Zagat ratings and individual customer reviews are displayed and Google Maps.
The deal has been announced on the Frommer's website and in a statement from Frommer's publisher John Wiley & Sons.
"We are thrilled to announce that we will soon be part of Google", the Frommer's website states.
"We can't wait to start working with our new Google colleagues to start bringing our content to an even larger audience."
By owning Frommer's content and showing it in search results, Google could sell travel-related ads against it and provide more tools for booking travel arrangements.
The Zagat and Frommer's acquisitions position Google as an alternative to guides for travel and business information like TripAdvisor.com and Urbanspoon, which use expert ratings and aggregated online comments from thousands of customers.
Jean Ow-Yeong, spokesperson for TripAdvisor, told SmartCompany Google's acquisition would offer limited competition for the website.
"Google can buy a travel guidebook company, but they can't buy a community of millions of travelers," she says.
"The reviews and opinions we have on TripAdvisor (we just announced hitting the milestone of 75 million reviews and opinions) is more than you would find in all the world's travel guidebooks combined.
"Plus, guidebooks are published once a year, whereas on TripAdvisor, 50 new pieces of travel advice are posted every minute."
Google and Tourism Australia declined to comment on the deal.

Why the HVAC Industry Benefits from Tax Reform
The heating, ventilation and air conditioning industry may stand to benefit from an updated tax code that could reduce the depreciation period on older equipment
The Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) last week made it public their support for any tax reform from the Trump Administration.
"We are encouraged by the President's willingness to work with Congress to make needed reforms to our tax system, says AHRI President and CEO Stephen Yurek. "We look forward to working with the Administration and Congress on ways to improve the current system and spur economic growth by allowing companies to expense the full cost of capital equipment in the tax year purchased, or at least reduce the depreciation period to be more aligned with the useful life of our equipment."
The AHRI mentions that the current depreciation period for capital HVACR and water heating equipment is set at 39 years in the tax code, in some cases more than double its useful life. Further, AHRI argues that depreciation period or even allowing for full expensing in the first year, will encourage the purchase of new, more efficient, more environmentally friendly equipment that will lower costs for businesses and create jobs.
"Economic growth can also be spurred and jobs created by bringing the corporate tax rate more in line with those of other industrialized nations. Reducing the top rate would promote economic growth, allow U.S. companies to more effectively compete in the global marketplace, and attract foreign investment to the U.S," says the AHRI President.

The leader of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland has said he hopes to meet the Pope when he travels to Dublin next week.
Moderator Dr Charles McMullen is attending a state reception for the pontiff at Dublin Castle on 25th August.
The Presbyterian Church in Ireland is a large protestant denomination.
Dr McMullen will also be present at the World Meeting of Families in Croke Park in Dublin that evening, at the invitation of Catholic Archbishop Eamon Martin, which Pope Francis will also attend.
The event is held every three years to celebrate and think about the importance of families and marriage to society.
Dr McMullen said: "The visit of Pope Francis to Ireland for the World Meeting of Families will greatly enhance the affirmation of the place of the family at the heart of society and that has to be a good thing.
"I am personally very pleased that our church has been able to accept the invitation to the reception and I am looking forward to it.
"Should there be an opportunity to meet Pope Francis in Dublin Castle, I would also very much welcome that in the context of building good relations."

Top 7 clubs with the most CAF Champions League titles
by BraggsSports July 20, 2021 0174
Here is a list of the Top 7 African clubs with the most CAF Champions League titles with Egyptian giants Al Ahly the most successful club
Very much one of the most unheralded region in world football, African football often surprises people when they see the passion from the fans and the skill level of players on the pitch.
The CAF Champions League has risen to showcase the best clubs in Africa having been a prominent part of the sporting scene since it took on its current format in 1997.
Clubs from across the continent have enjoyed success in the tournament although North and West African sides have most often been victorious in the trophy.
With all of the different styles on display each year, who has won the most CAF Champions League titles ever?
MUST READ: Comparing Eto'o vs Drogba Champions League Stats
1. Al Ahly SC (Egypt) – 10
Egyptian sides have dominated African football for years and none have been as successful as Cairo's Al Ahly. Al Ahly have been near dominant throughout the 21st century with their rich form earning them a staggering 12 final appearances since the turn of the century. They have been extremely successful winning 5 of these including back to back victories in 2005-2006 and once again in 2012-2013. Whilst their last two final losses in 2017 and 2018 have momentarily halted their success, Al Ahly made it 9 trophies when they defeated arch-rivals Zamalek in the 2020 final. Just last week 17/07/21 they again defeated South African side Kaizer Chiefs to claim their 10th CAF Champions League title and two more in a row thanks to coach Pitso Mosiname's master class in both finals.
Years Won: 1982, 1987, 2001, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2012, 2013, 2020, 2021
2. Zamalek SC (Egypt) – 5
One of Egypt's major footballing powerhouses. The Cairo based side are regular participants in a competition that they dominated throughout much of the 80s and 90's with 4 titles coming their way in just a 12-year period from 1984-1996.
Their last triumph was back in 2002 meaning that the Egyptian side have not been quite as powerful in recent years despite their finals appearance in 2016 and 2020 which they lost.
Years won: 1984, 1986, 1993, 1996, 2002

3. TP Mazembe (DR Congo) – 5
DR Congo is not exactly known as one of the traditional powerhouses of African football but that hasn't stopped TP Mazembe from growing to become one of the best known sides in all of Africa.
The Congolese side were involved in the final of the first 4 editions of the cup winning in both 1967 and 1968 before fading away in the 1980s and 1990's. However, they become a resurgent force once again this century winning three more trophies in 2009, 2010 and most recently in 2015.
4. Esperence Tunis (Tunisai) – 4
The most successful side in Tunisia, Esperance Tunis have quite often been competing at the forefront of Africa's top club competition. They have been at the sharp end for most of this century having reached the final on no less than 6 times since 2000. Whist their record in the finals sits at 50%, it's hard to argue about their recent success having won the trophy 3 times in the past decade including back to back titles in 2018 and 2019.
Years Won: 1994, 2011, 2018, 2019
5. Raja Casablanca (Morocco) – 3
With ties to the Moroccan royal family, it's not that surprising that Raja Casablanca have enjoyed a fair amount of success in the tournament. One of the best supported sides in Morocco, Raja Casablanca are often a regular sight in the CAF Champions League regardless of how far they actually go. Their best run in the tournament came at the tail end of last century where they won their first title in 1989 before winning titles both in 1997 and in 1999.
Years Won: 1989, 1997, 1999
6. Canon Sport of Yaounde (Cameroon) – 3
The most successful football club in the nation's capital, Canon Sport of Yaounde was a team to fear in the last century between 1970's and 1990's both domestically and Africa-wide. However since the 2002, they have been dormant on all fronts.
Canon Sport has been to the CAF finals three times winning in all the occasions with the first coming in 1971 and the last in 1980 thanks to the fearce players during that time from the Cameroon National team who mostly played in Canon in club levels.
This century, Canon Sport has been a regular participant in the CAF Champions League, until the 2009-2010 season which they have not appeared in the competition again.

7. Hafia FC (Guinea) – 3
Hafia FC is a football club based in Conakry, Guinea. Hafia is one of the most successful Guinean club if not the most successful. Hafia dominated National and African football overall in the last century. The 1970s were a golden decade for Hafia FC when they dominated African football which saw them win the CAF Champions League three times in 1972, 1975 and 1977.
However, Hafia FC has only appeared once in the CAF Champions League this century which saw them knocked-out early on the second round of the competition in 2003.

Only three months into her newly appointed role as 9 Story Media's Chief Creative Officer, Angela Santometo is planning her trip to MIPCOM, the largest global market for entertainment content, where she will participate as a speaker in The Creator's Superpanel (Saturday, October 13th), amongst other leaders in children's television.
Angela is an original Co-Creator, Executive Producer and Head Writer for the breakthrough and award-winning Blue's Clues. She is also the Creator, Executive Producer and Head Writer for the smash hit Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood (PBS), as well as Super Why! (PBS), Creative Galaxy (Amazon Studios), and Wishenpoof! (Amazon Studios).
When she's not representing 9 Story Media Group at industry events, Angela plays a major role in driving the company's creative vision and heading 9 Story US. We talked to her about her journey into animation, what her day to day looks like and what she hopes to achieve in her role as CCO.
1. What is your role at 9 Story US and what does it encompass?
I'm in the newly created role of CCO -Chief Creative Officer. I work directly with Vince Commisso (Founding Partner), Natalie Osborne (CSO) , Cathal Gaffney (COO) and Blake Tohana (CFO) to create, strategize, and inform our company's creative vision. I oversee the creative strategy and provide creative input for the whole 9 Story brand, on both the existing properties and those in development.
2. What is your origins story? Aka, how did you get to where you are today in your career?
I have a master's in child development psychology and instructional technology and media. I started in Nickelodeon's research department and then transitioned into Nick Jr. preschool programming. I created Blue's Clues, with Traci Paige Johnson, in 1995. After 10 years of Blue's Clues production, I started Out of the Blue where I created Super Why (PBS), Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood (PBS), Creative Galaxy (Amazon), Wishenpoof (Amazon) and the new Charlie in Colorform's City (premiering on Netflix). Also, Blue's Clues is being refreshed for next year!
4. What can we find you doing on a daily basis?
I do a lot of writing, strategy planning, creating and editing. And lots and lots of meetings! I work with each of my creative teams in New York as well as the development teams in Toronto and Dublin.
5. Who is one of your biggest influencers?
Gerry Laybourne is a mentor and influencer due to her innovative, creative leadership. Her vision for Nickelodeon changed the way I look at the business of children's media. Fred Rogers is also my biggest influencer because of his vision for how to use media to spark children and speak to them with respect. I was that kid who couldn't sit any closer to the TV when Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood was on. I really felt like he was talking directly to me. It's what inspired me for Blue's Clues when Steve would talk directly to the camera, right at the viewer.
6. What parts of your role do you find most challenging? And what have you found is the most challenging aspect of working in animation?
Finding enough time in the day is the most challenging! I'm excited and passionate about finding and cultivating the best talent, the best shows, and the best new way to creatively produce them so that they are signature, distinct and fresh. The most challenging aspect, for me, in animation, is not living with the studio. For Blue's Clues, we had 40 animators working with us full time in the studio and we became a family. The passion animators have to create and the talent and time it takes are never lost on me.
7. Where do you draw inspiration from? And how do you make sure to stay creatively relevant in a competitive and dynamic industry?
I constantly draw inspiration from kids, themselves. I observe, listen, want to play and watch what they are watching and how they are watching. I also challenge our dynamic industry as a leader – not a follower – where we innovate, create groundbreaking series, and be the best.
8. As the newly appointed Chief Creative Officer at 9 Story USA, what do you want your mark to be?
I want to ensure that we have the most highly sparked, passionate and talented people who want to change the world with our creative work. Our shows, our series, our art will stand the test of time and empower, challenge, and influence kids all over the world – – while making them laugh.
9. What advice would you give someone who is pursuing a career focused on kids and family content?
Let them show you what they love, what excites them, and what they're passionate about.
Ask lots of questions, then listen, observe and learn.
10. Last but not least, what are your "words to live by"?
Be kind, be persistent, be badass and make stuff.
When no one understands what you are creating, it usually means you are onto something big.
Respect your audience, know your audience, bring it for your audience.
I enjoy spending time with my kids and husband, watch a lot of tv, drink wine and love to travel.
Since I've created Daniel Tiger in my mind, I think I look a lot like him.

here is my controller:
.controller('HomeCtrl', function($scope, $http){
    $scope.formData = [] // just testing post data
    $scope.submit = function(){
      var data = $scope.formData.push($scope.inputData);
      $http.post('http://localhost/tapp-server/posted', data);
   };
}

my php function (using codeigniter rest server)
public function posted_post()
{
    $this->response(json_encode($_POST), 200);
}

the issue here is, i dont know how to apply the basic restful authentication whenever the app will post the data to the php because whenever it post the data, i get error as "not authorized".
for other data such as getting the data using GET, i receive the data and processed flawlessly. only on this POST part i am in confusion.

A: Check this http://vitalflux.com/angularjs-post-data-using-ajax-spring-mvc-example/, it might help you to send post message instead of options.
Otherwise, attach the response you get from the server so we can help you more

A: yes. i got it. $http is a low level request. for high level request i can use $resource.
found something in angular docs.
https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ngResource/service/$resource
can use this too:
https://github.com/mgonto/restangular#table-of-contents

A:
Also, please verify on server side since the API code working on localhost behaves different in production server depending on server type and auth mode.
If you facing problem, you should change your .htaccess as below:
OR add SetEnvIf Authorization "(.*)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1 in your current .htaccess file:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

        Options +FollowSymLinks
        RewriteEngine on
        SetEnvIf Authorization "(.*)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1
        #RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]
        #RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]
        #RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*)
        #RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
        RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9_-]+)\.html$ index.php/page/$1 [L]
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
        RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|asset|robots\.txt)
        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./index.php?/$1 [L,QSA]

    </IfModule>

If you still has problem, change code of libraries\REST_Controller.php
Find this in your code:

    elseif ($this->input->server('HTTP_AUTHENTICATION'))
    {
      if (strpos(strtolower($this->input->server('HTTP_AUTHENTICATION')), 'basic') === 0)
      {
          list($username, $password) = explode(':', base64_decode(substr($this->input->server('HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'), 6)));
      }
    }

and replace with:

    elseif ( $this->input->server('HTTP_AUTHENTICATION') || $this->input->server('REDIRECT_REMOTE_USER') || $this->input->server('REDIRECT_HTTP_AUTHORIZATION') )
                  {

                    $HTTP_SERVER_AUTH = ($this->input->server('HTTP_AUTHENTICATION')) ? $this->input->server('HTTP_AUTHENTICATION') : $this->input->server('REDIRECT_HTTP_AUTHORIZATION');
                   if(!$HTTP_SERVER_AUTH)
                   {
                     $HTTP_SERVER_AUTH = $this->input->server('REDIRECT_REMOTE_USER');
                   }

                    if (strpos(strtolower($HTTP_SERVER_AUTH),'basic') === 0)
                    {
                        list($username,$password) = explode(':',base64_decode(substr($HTTP_SERVER_AUTH, 6)));
                    }

                }

Microsoft has announced that its first flagship store in the Asia Pacific region will be located in Sydney, a mere street away from the Sydney Apple store and Samsung store.
Opening in late 2015, Microsoft's new retail home will be located in Westfield Sydney on Pitt Street Mall, stocking a wide range of Windows PCs, Surface devices, phones, Xbox One and Office products. Both Apple and Samsung have stores situated on George Street, just around the corner from their tech rival.
Pip Marlow, Managing Director of Microsoft Australia, says the new outlet will also offer "the same outstanding choice, value and service as our stores overseas and online".
As well as selling tech, customers can also visit the store to use the Answer Desk for troubleshooting, support and hands-on guidance with products and software.
The store will offer more than a place to try out and buy new tech, as Marlow says Microsoft is "also committed to being part of the fabric of the local community."
"We will regularly donate volunteer hours, host community events, offer training workshops, support science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education and build deeper relationships with our customers, one person at a time. The space will be as much a place for engaging experiences as it is a retail store."
Microsoft should have plenty of space for sales and support, as the Pitt St Mall business is spread over two floors encompassing more than 6,000 square feet and will be located next to Sephora and the main entrance of the mall.
In September last year, Microsoft announced its first flagship store on Manhattan's prestigious Fifth Avenue, and is expected to open in 2015.
The Sydney store joins 110 physical stores in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico and 17 store-in-store locations in China.


After months of work, the Washington Motorcycle Safety Program is proud to roll-out its new driver training video focused on motorcycle awareness.
A Second Look is an 8-minute video produced with teen viewers in mind. It's currently being distributed to every driver training school in Washington state, and is also available at dol.wa.gov.
A Second Look is an easily accessible tool for driving schools and instructors to use as they fulfill the state curriculum requirement regarding motorcycle awareness.
Paired with the video is a set of companion learning materials that can help facilitate even more active learning for their students. These materials include essential "conversation generator" questions, brain-based learning classroom activities, an outline of key concepts, a fun quiz, and some resource information regarding motorcycle awareness.
"Ian" (played by Alex Hager) is the young driver featured in, "A Second Look".
"Randy" (played by Ron Richardson) is the motorcyclist featured in DOL's new motorcycle awareness video, "A Second Look".
A Second Look was produced in cooperation with Notion Pictures, using a federal grant from the Washington Traffic Safety Commission.
Filmed in and around Olympia, Washington, this video conveys basic technical information useful to new drivers. It also creates empathy for all road users.
The story in this video follows a young driver named Ian who learns how to safely drive around motorcycles. Ian learns from a motorcyclist named Randy.
We felt it was essential to create an emotional hook, so that viewers would not only learn ways to drive more safely, but (and perhaps more importantly) gain a clearer understanding about why they should drive more safely.
Because A Second Look was developed for young drivers in driver training, we chose to present a stereotyped version of a rider. However, as the story unfolds, it reveals that people who are stereotyped are, in fact, real human beings.
Using that approach, our hope is that the learning will go deeper, and remain memorable for a lifetime of safe driving.
Producing a video with a teen audience in mind provided the opportunity to make some unexpected choices, such as NOT showing the actual crash at the end of the story.
In using that approach, we've left it up to the "mind's eye" of each viewer to see the consequence of Ian's mistake in a way that is most powerful and relevant to him or her.
Why did the crash happen?
What could the driver and rider have done differently?
All of those questions are left for the viewer to consider.
Driving instructors can then use these questions, in conjunction with the companion materials, to re-enforce the power of making safe, effective choices on the road.
Though created for driving students, this video reminds us all of the power in simply looking twice; doing so really can–and does–save lives.

You're most welcome, Michelle. Thank you for sharing your thoughts here, and for sharing the video with your friends, too.
This is excellent and so important for riders and drivers alike. Thank you!

Hop aboard the ultimate Lake Tahoe experience with Captain Chris
Business Business | Apr 4, 2016
Jenny Goldsmith
Launched in March 2003, Captain Chris' Fishing Charters offers year-round, private charters on Lake Tahoe, and tours are booked through Captain Chris Wichman by phone only.

Meet your merchant
Who: Chris Wichman
What: Captain Chris' Fishing Charters
Website: http://www.tahoefishingcharters.com
TAHOE CITY, Calif. — Gazing out at the glassy blue surface of the largest alpine lake in North America, it's hard for any fisherman — whether an amateur angler or a trained troller — to know where to begin casting a line in Lake Tahoe.
Unless, of course, you've been circumnavigating the inky-blue waters for nearly two decades just as Captain Chris Wichman has.
"I'm only as good at fishing as the fish are at biting," said Wichman, with the sort-of wry wit that comes from years spent trolling the deep, lightless bottom of Lake Tahoe in the cold, pre-dawn hours of the morning.
On any given day, somewhere between 100 and 400 feet below Wichman's Skipjack sport fishing boat, there are hundreds of Lake Tahoe's most dominant predator — the mackinaw trout — and Wichman seems to have a sixth sense on just where to find them.
"I never know if we're going to catch 2 fish or 10 fish because, well, it's fishing and there are certain things I can't control," Wichman said. "But I'm going to do everything I can and use every advantage that I have to get those fish to bite because there are things I can control, like the time of day, where we are, how fast the boat is moving — it's those little things that I can use to the best of my ability, and usually, it works."
It's that combination of knowledge, honesty and practice mixed with a subtle confidence that, over time, has earned Wichman a reputation for hooking impressive numbers of mackinaw as far as fishing guides on Lake Tahoe goes.
"If you have low expectations and high hopes, you're the right customer for me," he added with congenial smile.
CATCHING ON TO SPORT FISHING
Wichman's roots have been anchored in North Lake Tahoe for 40-some years, during which time he dabbled in the typical Tahoe chain of employment before landing a career as a chef at a high-volume, lakefront establishment.
"I was getting really burnt out on cooking – it's a 24-hour, 365-day a year job – and I guess you could say I saw the writing on the wall," said Wichman, who's lived in Tahoe City since age 4. "I needed to find a way to enjoy life more, make more money, have more time on my hands, and work less."
In the midst of brainstorming his next career move, Wichman began mulling over the logistics of becoming a fishing guide.
But it wasn't until the hobby fisherman hooked a sizeable 15-pound mackinaw that he decided to take the plunge in getting his captain's license.
"That sealed the deal for me — that mackinaw — and that's the day I said, 'yep, this is what I want to do, I'm going to be a guide," he said.
After successfully treading through the waters of becoming a boat captain, Wichman landed his first gig as a fishing guide out of the Tahoe City Marina, but the self-driven seaman wanted to cast his net out by becoming his own boss, which meant buying his own rig.
"I really wanted this particular boat because I wanted a safe, sea-worthy boat that wasn't super big, but had the right design with a big gas tank, a bed, bathroom, stove, refrigerator, and most importantly, a nice flat deck for fishing," Wichman said of his Skipjack. "They're really hard to find because they're handmade and not mass-produced, and that's what makes them so special."
Diving into the world of boat ownership also meant taking on a large chunk of debt, but Wichman was determined to see his way through the choppy financial waters, and eventually, his persistence paid off.
"I'm a firm believer in asking for what you want, and being very specific about it because if you don't manifest exactly what it is you want, and you don't believe it's going to happen, then it probably won't," Wichman said.
FISHING FOR THE GOOD LIFE
Launched in 2003, Captain Chris' Fishing Charters exclusively offers private, year-round, guided tours on board Wichman's handmade Skipjack, where he filets the mackinaw and provides cooking tips for his customers.
Countless catches of mackinaw and the occasional rainbow trout later, and Wichman has built a successful business with repeat clientele traveling from all over the world to spend a few hours waiting for a downrigger to bob in the hopes of hooking a monster mackinaw.
But for Wichman, it's as much about the bite as it is the backdrop – one he's known for most of his life, and one that he said will never get old.
"There's something about getting way out on the water and going way off shore where we're fishing," Wichman said. "When you get that far out and you can't see the buildings anymore, it's like you're out in the middle of nowhere, and that's when you get to really soak it all in."

Embracing Versatility: Nick Lima
Fresh off his first national team appearance, San Jose Earthquakes defender Nick Lima looks back on his professional journey so far and discusses how the challenges he's faced have helped transform him into the versatile player he is today.
Q: What was your path to the MLS like?
I started soccer as young as I can remember and then played all the way up through college. I played three sports in high school, with soccer probably being the lowest on the totem pole after football and track, even though I had a scholarship to UC Berkeley. I experienced an injury late in my career that actually cleared my head and I realized I loved soccer the most and that it was what I needed to pursue.
Q: You've played a number of different positions in your career, has that been challenging?
When I got to college, I pretty much immediately got moved from attacker to defender, which wasn't easy. I had to realize that soccer was my first love in sports and that I just needed to buckle down and do what I had to do. I knew I needed to use my strengths that allowed me to be the player I am and leverage those.
I played right back for the rest of my college career, and then moved on to the pros and signed with the Earthquakes in December of 2016. During my first season in 2017 I ended up playing a little bit of every position again. I also got called into my first national team camp last year, but didn't end up playing. I got called in again this year and got my first minutes with the national team and played a new position completely again.
Through those difficulties, you learn that it's a rollercoaster ride and there's always going to be a struggle, there's always going to be chances to learn and you continue to develop and elevate your goals. For me, it's been all about segmentation and breaking things up into little pieces.
When I get moved to a new position I start with 'What does this require of me?' If, for example, it means I have to get better with my left foot I'll focus on getting better with my left foot today and then by the end of the week I'll be even better.
You have to just keep going up the ladder, one little thing at a time. I've become more versatile from all the change and it's become one of my strengths. For the longest time I always thought I was the weakest because I was being forced to change positions, I was never just staying consistent, but really it can be a benefit and at the end of the day I got my first two starts with the national team because of it. I'm pretty happy with what's happened, but there is always more work to be put in.
It's better to be ready and not get your opportunity, than to get your opportunity and not be ready."
Q: What's it like to find out that you're called into the national team camp? How does it happen?
For me, it's happened in two ways, and I've only been called into two. Last year it was an email while I was literally drinking a Mai Tai on the beach in Hawaii and I had asked my nephew to get my phone. I checked my email and I was like 'Well this is confusing, it says national team but I don't know what that means.' Then this year I was at the Players Association meeting in Vegas and my GM called me saying he got notified and then I got the same email. It happens way before so you can prepare mentally and physically. It's a fairly simple process, but it's exciting and I don't think that excitement will go away if it continues to happen. It's the highest of honors in sports, playing for your national team and representing your country.
Q: What did it feel like to find out that you were starting against Panama?
My heart was pumping out of my chest when he officially announced it in film and went over the starting lineup, I'm pretty sure if you were looking from the outside in you could see the movement in my chest. In the lead up to the game, I prepared for playing a full 90 and for not even making the roster, I was doing the same thing regardless. There was a lot of excitement, and a couple of hours later when I was just in bed watching a movie the night before I had that realization of 'Oh, wait. I'm starting for the national team.' All the nerves just go through your body and you get timid, but then that phase goes really quickly because there's no time for that. So I went through it all.
Q: You had an assist in the game, can you walk us through that moment?
There was a break off the corner, it came out and the guy was coming with some speed at me, but I could see he was taking big touches so I just tried to hold back, waiting for that one touch where I can spring forward and tackle. In my mind I think the first thing I thought was 'I don't want to run back, I don't want to have to run for this.' So I thought I would just run through him so I wouldn't have to run back. I did that and then when you see Walker Zimmerman up front, you put it on his head. That's what I did with the cross and he had a phenomenal finish. It was pretty cool for the game to go fairly well.
Q: Was it difficult to find yourself in another new system and position again?
It happened at a good time, because with San Jose we knew were getting a new coach and a new style of play and then with the national team it was the same situation. I was also coming out of an offseason where I had just been training overseas with a different coaching staff, style of play and culture. So my mind was open to whatever challenge came my way, which in this case was playing a different position, learning different tactics and developing the mental and physical aspect as well as the technical aspect of the game.
I felt ready for it, but that's not to say that I didn't have my fall backs or have a second of self doubt. In those moments I just had to go back to that beginning mindset of realizing we were all new here, we were all new to Berhalter and to this national team that is now the future and the present. It was an opportunity that I wanted to take advantage of.
Q: What is it like to play with a group of guys you are usually matched up against?
It was a lot of fun. It's a change of scenery for everyone so there's excitement and we're all kind of in the same boat and experiencing the same thing.
When you compete against these guys sometimes they wreak havoc on you and you're just like 'Oh my gosh this guy.' Then, when that guy is on your side you're like 'This guy is amazing,' and you build off their energy. I really enjoy playing with those guys because you see what they can do when you play against them, and sometimes that gives you a better understanding of what they can do when they're on your side.
Q: Did you imagine getting to the national team level as a kid?
For the World Cup in 2006 and 2010, I missed school or any camps that I had early in the morning to watch games. My mom had paid some ridiculous price for me to go to these camps, and my buddy and I had begged her to let us stay home and watch USA play. We wanted to see those games, watching and supporting the national team was the thing for me growing up. One of the most exciting and emotional moments I've ever had was Donovan's goal against Algeria. That was the dream that I had growing up and it still is.
Q: What would you say to a young player who has the same dream?
The first thing I'd say is, dreams in real life don't happen overnight. They take years and decades, for me it even took a lot longer, I never had a look on the youth national team or anything. Never stop dreaming, but know that it takes hours and hours of preparation, sacrifice and sweat. It's better to be ready and not get your opportunity, than to get your opportunity and not be ready. That's been my mindset through it all.

In advance of tonight's iPhone press event, Google on Tuesday rolled out its official YouTube app for iOS.
A YouTube app is currently pre-loaded on all iOS devices, but Apple and Google recently confirmed that they did not renew their deal for iOS 6. As a result, when Apple rolls out its revamped mobile OS in the coming weeks, the dedicated YouTube app will be gone, so Google had to develop a standalone app for inclusion in the App Store.
That app will roll out later today, Google said this morning. The search giant promised a few new features on the app, including access to more videos, suggested search results, and a menu that users can swipe out in order to view subscriptions.
In a blog post, Andrey Doronichev, head of YouTube mobile, promised "tens of thousands more videos" on the iOS app, as well as a new YouTube channel guide.
"Swipe your finger from the left edge of the screen to reveal a guide with your subscribed channels on YouTube, giving you instant access to everything from Alli Sports to YOMYOMF," he wrote.
Google's suggested searches, which pop up as a user types, will also be included in the YouTube app, as will the ability to sort through videos or channels. "Flip through related videos, comments and more info, all while watching a video," Doronichev wrote.
YouTube also promised more ways to share videos with the revamped app, including Twitter, email, text message, Facebook, and, of course, Google+.
Doronichev said Google is working on a YouTube app that will be optimised for the iPad, which should be available in the next few months.
The YouTube app is not the only Google service that will be missing from the iOS 6 home screen. Apple has also developed its own mapping app, which will replace the pre-loaded Google Maps app. Google, however, now has its own brand new 3D mapping app that was included in Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
