T-Mobile Launches TVision Hub, A 4K Google TV Streaming Stick
T-Mobile has launched a new Google TV-powered 4K streaming device called TVision Hub. It sports a Chromecast-like design and should function similarly as well. But there are some additional features in tow.
Firstly, the TVision Hub has a built-in Ethernet port, something you can't find on Google's Chromecast with Google TV. This should enable you to directly plug in an internet cable if your home Wi-Fi connection isn't stable or fast enough to stream 4K content when available. T-Mobile will not supply an ethernet cable in the retail ox though.
T-Mobile's website says the device features a micro USB port for power along with a USB Type-C port. You'll get both the charging adapter as well as a USB cable in the box.
The accompanying remote also comes with some added features. It not only has a dedicated power button for the box but also for the TV, along with input controls. There appear to be shortcut buttons for live TV guide as well as YouTube, Netflix, and a T-Mobile-branded TV app. It's unclear what the latter is though, as T-Mobile has already shuttered its streaming service, which interesting was branded TVision as well. Maybe there's something new coming up. We shall see.
As on Google's Chromecast, the dedicated Google Assistant button on the remote for T-Mobile's TVision will let you access live as well as recorded content over voice commands. You can also use it to open apps or perform other actions.
With built-in Chromecast support, you will be able to stream content from your phone to your TV via TVision Hub. You can also connect headphones, gaming controllers, and other devices via Bluetooth for an immersive experience on the big screen.
T-Mobile TVision Hub: specs and price
The T-Mobile TVision Hub is powered by an Amlogic S905Y4 chipset. It features a 64-bit quad-core CPU and an ARM Mali-G31 MP2 GPU. The device comes with 2GB of RAM and 8GB of flash storage. We also have support for 2×2 Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0. The device will reportedly support AV1 decoding and run Android TV 11 out of the box.
T-Mobile will charge $50 for the TVision Hub, which is in line with what Google's Chromecast with Google TV cost at launch. At that price, you get access to over 8,000 streaming apps with more than 700,000 movies and TV shows as well as live TV. But if you're getting a qualifying new line of Home Internet service from T-Mobile, you could get the streaming stick at no additional cost. You can check out T-Mobile's official website for more details.

If I Forget – Press Release

Jason Alexander directs L.A. premiere of Steven Levenson's
funny, powerful 'If I Forget' at Fountain Theatre
LOS ANGELES (REVISED July 27, 2022) — The Fountain Theatre presents a deeply personal play about history, responsibility, and what we're willing to sacrifice for a new beginning. Tony Award-winning actor Jason Alexander, widely known from TV's Seinfeld, directs the Los Angeles premiere of If I Forget by Steven Levenson, now through September 10 on the Fountain's indoor stage.
Levenson, the Tony Award-winning book writer of Dear Evan Hansen, drew from conversations with his own family to write this play that explores the lasting impact of the Holocaust on a Jewish family at the beginning of the 21st century. Set in the years following the dissolution of the Oslo Peace Accords between Israel and Palestine, If I Forget is a funny, powerful tale about a family—and a culture—at odds with itself.
"Inevitably, one of the first targets of any authoritarian regime is history itself—what we remember, how we remember, why we remember," Levenson said in an interview. "The past is never neutral and history is never settled. This play doesn't attempt to offer any answers, but I hope, in its own small way, it can help to articulate why it is so vital that we continue to ask difficult questions, to grapple with painful, uncomfortable subjects."
"I am grateful to be able to direct a play as complex and funny and beautiful as this one," says Alexander. "The questions it asks are so relevant to much of what we are grappling with as a society today."
Leo Marks, recently seen in This Wonderful Life at Rogue Machine, stars as Michael Fischer, a professor of Jewish studies up for tenure at a prestigious New York university. Michael and his wife Ellen, played by Síle Bermingham (The Ruffian on the Stair at the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center), are in Washington D.C. for a family reunion to celebrate his recently widowed father's 75th birthday, while their daughter, Abby (Caribay Franke), is in Israel on a Birthright tour. There we also meet Michael's sisters Holly (Valerie Perri, who portrayed Emma Goldman in Ragtime at the Pasadena Playhouse) and Sharon (Samantha Klein, seen in The Last Schwartz at West Coast Jewish Theatre); Holly's husband, Howard (Jerry Weil, a longtime member of Neo Ensemble Theatre); and her son, Joey (Jacob Zelonky, national Broadway tour of Billy Elliot the Musical). Recently widowed family patriarch Lou Fischer is played by Matt Gottlieb, previously seen at the Fountain in The Normal Heart.
With each family member committed to their own version of family history, the siblings clash over everything from Michael's controversial book to whether they should sell the family business.
"If I Forget opens up a rich dialogue about memory, aging, the Holocaust, Zionism and freedom of expression," says Rabbi Daniel Bouskila, who acts as a consultant on the production. "Ever relevant and meaningful for today, it will leave audiences talking long after the curtain falls."
If I Forget premiered on Broadway at the Roundabout Theatre Company in 2017 and is a recipient of an Edgerton Foundation New Play Award. In its "Critic's Pick" review, The New York Times called it "intellectually rigorous… speaks to both the head and the heart." DC Metro proclaimed it "One of the greatest Jewish plays of this century."
The Fountain's creative team includes scenic designer Sarah Krainin; lighting designer Donny Jackson, sound designer Cricket S. Myers, costume designer A Jeffrey Schoenberg and prop master Katelyn M. Lopez. The assistant director is Allison Bibicoff. The production stage manager is Shawna Voragen and Lexie Seacrest is assistant stage manager. Simon Levy produces and James Bennett associate produces for the Fountain Theatre. Barbara Herman is executive producer.
Steven Levenson is a playwright and television writer who authored the Tony Award-winning book, Dear Evan Hansen. His other plays include The Unavoidable Disappearance of Tom Durnin, Days of Rage and The Language of Trees. For television, Levenson co-developed and executive produced the FX limited series Fosse/Verdon and was a writer and producer on Showtime's Masters of Sex. Other projects include the screenplay for Jonathan Larson's tick, tick… BOOM!, directed by Lin-Manuel Miranda. In addition to the Tony, his honors include the Obie Award, Outer Critics Circle Award, Drama League Award, Helen Hayes Award, WGA Award and the John Gassner Memorial Playwriting Award.
Jason Alexander is best known for his award-winning, nine season stint as the iconic George Costanza of television's Seinfeld. In addition to his acclaimed career as an actor, he has maintained a diverse and noted career as a director across multiple mediums including television, film and theater. Serving as the artistic director of the Los Angeles based Reprise Theatre Company for five years, he produced 18 fully staged musicals, a dozen concerts and several special events. Other Los Angeles directing credits include acclaimed productions of Sam Shepard's The God of Hell (Geffen Playhouse), Neil Simon's Broadway Bound (Odyssey Theater), Karen Zacarias' Native Garden (Pasadena Playhouse) and most recently the world premiere of The Joy Wheel (Ruskin Theatre). He has directed innovative productions of Sunday in the Park with George, The Fantasticks and a revamped production of Damn Yankees in which he authored a revised libretto, setting the play in the 1980s and featuring predominantly Latino and African American actors. Most recently, he directed a new comedy, Windfall, at the Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor, NY. Jason first became a member of the Director's Guild of America in 1994 when he directed "The Good Samaritan" episode of the hit sitcom Seinfeld, which earned him a DGA award nomination for Best Direction of a Situation Comedy. Since then, he has worked repeatedly in television as a director, easily moving back and forth between single camera and multi-camera, across comedy and dramatic genres.
The Fountain Theatre is dedicated to presenting outstanding theater that challenges thinking while shining an artistic light on social justice issues and on the diverse voices and cultures within L.A. The company's most recent production, Detained by France-Luce Benson, was a gripping docudrama based on interviews with longtime U.S. residents held in immigration detention, and with their family members, advocates, attorneys and representatives of ICE. On June 25, a "hyper-staged" reading of Roe by Lisa Loomer will open on the outdoor stage as a "call to action" in the face of the upcoming Supreme Court ruling expected to overturn Roe v Wade. This week, the Fountain was honored with nine Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle awards for three productions in 2020 and 2021: the L.A. premiere of An Octoroon by Brandon Jacobs-Jenkins, which inaugurated the company's outdoor stage last summer; the L.A. premiere of the The Children by Lucy Kirkwood, performed on the indoor stage last fall; and a streamed, online reading of the Fountain's 2010 production of The Ballad of Emmett Till that reunited the original cast on the occasion of the 65th anniversary of Till's murder. Eric Garcetti joined with the Los Angeles City Council to commend the Fountain for "achieving a position of leadership in the Los Angeles theatre community… producing meaningful new plays of social and political importance that enrich the lives of the citizens of Los Angeles." In recognition of providing outstanding productions of meaningful new plays and first-class performances spanning three decades, the Fountain Theatre was honored with the 2020 Margaret Harford Award for sustained excellence in theater, presented by the Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle. In a 2021 end-of-year retrospective, Los Angeles Times theater critic Charles McNulty called the Fountain "L.A.'s most enterprising intimate theater [that] continues to punch far above its weight… No L.A. theater has done a better job of asking us to reexamine our lives through the lens of acute contemporary drama this year than the Fountain." The Fountain has won hundreds of awards for all areas of production, performance and design.
Performances of If I Forget continue through September 10 on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m.; Sundays at 2 p.m.; and Mondays at 8 p.m. (dark Saturday, Aug. 13; Sunday, Aug. 14; and Monday, Sept. 5). Tickets range from $25–$45; Pay-What-You-Want seating is available every Monday night in addition to regular seating (subject to availability). The Fountain Theatre is located at 5060 Fountain Avenue (at Normandie) in Los Angeles. Secure, on-site parking is available for $5. The Fountain Theatre is air-conditioned and wheelchair accessible. Patrons are invited to relax before and after the show at the Fountain's indoor/outdoor café.

The NamespaceHTML extension allows raw HTML in specified namespaces. It is intended to work just like the $wgRawHtml setting. The difference is that this extension allows specifying which namespace(s) should be able to contain raw HTML, which allows administrators to restrict raw HTML to namespaces with sufficient edit protections.
Embed raw html within <html>...</html> tags. See this page for more information.
The extension allows inclusion from namespaces where HTML is allowed to namespaces where HTML is not. You can create a custom script namespace and allow HTML in that namespace. Then you can create pages in the script namespace that contain safe scripts which can be transcluded into any page.
Technically, you can use the #tag parser function to pass parameters to the template. See here for an example. However, it is a better idea to use the Widgets extension for that.
Download and place the file(s) in a directory called NamespaceHTML in your extensions/ folder.
Configure as required. Note: $wgRawHtmlNamespaces= array(); must be set!

In a large heavy based saucepan, heat the butter until foaming then add the leeks, garlic and chilli and saute until softened and fragrant.
Add the corn and saute with the leeks for a minute. Now add the stock, cover and simmer for 25 minutes.
Place the corn and stock mixture into a blender ( I find a smoothie blender works well) and blitz until as smooth as you can get it. Add the coriander and cream and blend once more until well combined and smooth.
Place a large sieve over a large bowl or clean pot and pass the soup through the sieve. Discard all the fibrous bits that are left in the sieve. You should have a beautiful smooth soup in the bowl.
Serve chilled or hot, topped with fresh coriander leaves and chilli flakes.
Finish off with a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

Policy analyst: Cuomo wrong to write-off nursing home criticism as political conspiracy
WRGB (CBS 6 Albany)
Anne McCloy
ALBANY NY (WRGB) – Bill Hammond says New York State is misrepresenting the number of COVID-19 deaths that have happened in nursing homes during this pandemic.
"The State has been counting nursing home deaths in an unusual way," he said.
Hammond is Senior Fellow for Health Policy at The Empire Center for Public Policy, a self-described "government watchdog group" in Albany. He spoke to CBS 6's Anne McCloy about his recent report analyzing numbers surrounding the nursing home debacle.
Anne: "Why is it important to get the real numbers?"
Bill Hammond: "To learn lessons from it."
Hammond says the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) is only releasing the number of deaths that occurred within the four walls of the nursing home, and is not including deaths at hospitals. So, Hammond pulled different numbers, instead analyzing the number of empty beds, or vacancies.
"A 13-point difference means there are 13,000 normally there who aren't there," Hammond said.
NYSDOH has the death rate from nursing homes at about 6,500, but with the vacancy rate at 13,000, Hammond says the death count is likely much higher. The agency did not provide CBS 6 the number of nursing home deaths from hospitals.
Hammond believes the State has been reluctant to release the numbers because of potential political fallout.
"If they revise their death count and it goes up by as many as I think it will go up, it's not going to be a good news story and it won't be a flattering news story," Hammond said.
Rich Azzopardi, Senior Advisor to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo responded, in a statement:
"Trust shady right-wing think tanks with undisclosed funders at your own peril," Azzopardi said.
Azzopardi's statement said the spike in deaths were "likely caused by asymptomatic staffers" early on in the pandemic and "predated the March 25th directive".
Governor Cuomo has been widely criticized for a March policy that allowed COVID-19 positive patients into nursing homes. Hammond agrees that the issue has been politicized.
"The line of attack has been Governor Cuomo deliberately introduced Coronavirus into nursing homes. I think that is unfair and over the top," Hammond said.
But Hammond says Cuomo has taken the wrong route by dismissing all questions and criticism as a political conspiracy.
"The importance of discussing this and getting the true facts out is to understand what did and didn't happen so we can learn from it in case this happens again," Hammond said.
Hammond said it's critical the State be transparent so that it can prepare for a possible resurgence of COVID-19 in the Fall, and says transparency will help the State to make future pandemic plans.
State lawmakers plan to hold public hearings into the State's handling of nursing homes during the pandemic beginning Monday.

Use More Exclamation Points in Your E-mail!!!1111!!!
Slate has an interesting article up today on the subject of whether we use too many exclamation marks in our e-communication.
To briefly summarize the point of the story, Strunk and White would be shocked at the number of exclamation points we use in our e-mails and text messages nowadays.
"To risk sounding like an old schoolmarm: If everything is emphasized, nothing is. Pedestrian e-mails "kicked up a notch" or juiced up on bangers simply contribute to the noise."
Writer Jacob Rubin makes some valid points, but misses a crucial one. There's a tremendous level of snark, irony, and sarcasm in modern conversation, which can be easily conveyed in spoken word but takes some finesse to pull off in an e-mail or IM. I actually remember an article (I think it may have even been on Slate)(found it) arguing that we need some kind of sarcasm punctuation (or maybe an emoticon?), so IM chatters and e-mailers can indicate when they're being snarky or ironic. I'm still waiting for a sarcasmcon to catch on that I can use while IM-ing, but in the meantime, the exclamation mark has kind of come to be the opposite of that: a punctuation mark that lets a sometimes sarcastic writer express genuine enthusiasm.
For example, let's say my friend Whitney e-mails me a URL to a funny Web site, and I respond with "Wow, that was really amazing."
That response could mean several things, none of which is that I thought the Web site was amazing. Let's say I respond with "That was amazing!!!!111!!!" Again, there's something snarky going on here. The best and clearest way to let Whitney know that I enthusiastically appreciated the site is to reply with "That was amazing!"
Like any other punctuation, exclamation marks change the meaning of the sentence. They can certainly be overused, making you sound like some overenthusiastic teenager, but proper use of exclamation marks is a perfect way to convey your sarcasm or lack thereof.
May all your e-mails be clear and your instant messages expressive!

Murray is currently the number one tennis player in the world.
Andy Murray will take on Illya Marchenko in the first round of the 2017 Australian Open at the Rod Laver Arena as the Bruit looks to hold on to his number one ranking.
The game is set to start at 4am GMT. Live coverage of the game is available on Eurosport 1.
Murray started the year in woeful fashion, losing the Qatar open to Novak Djokovic, from whom he clinched the number one spot late last year. he will be looking to make amends for the stumble and progress further in the first major event of the year. Murray is lined up to face Kei Nishikori in the quarter-finals should both progress and if he succeeds, he could face US Open winner Stan Wawrinka in the semi-final.
Meanwhile, Roger Federer, who has been ranked 17th, could also face Murray in the quarter-finals, making for an exciting match in the second week of the tournament, barring any major upset. Murray begins his campaign in the afternoon slot in hot conditions.
Further, Marchenko, who is ranked 93rd, faces Murray for the second time in the Australian Open after 2011 where he lost the encounter against his more decorated rival. The Brit beat Marchenko 6-1 6-3 6-3 last time around and his current form suggests that the result should not be any different this time around.
Andy Murray on Marchenko: "I don't remember loads about that match. We played on Margaret Court. I don't remember too much about that match. I saw him playing a bit at the US Open. He had a good run there a few months ago. Also had a very tight match with Wawrinka there. You know, he's not easy. He fights very hard. He's got a great attitude. Plays predominantly from the back of the court and moves well. He doesn't give you too many free points. But, I mean, I've only played him once. I've never practiced with him. And that match, it was a long time ago. It would have been, I don't know, 2008, '09, something like that."
The duo have met each other once before in the Australian Open with Murray emerging as the winner.


Water is necessary for life, but it can also be destructive. "Women's Water" will dive into all of water's aspects during this poetry/performance event.
"Women's Water" is not put on by a specific group. It's friends going on stage sharing their poetry/gifts — going with the flow, as it were. Among those participating are Bria Brown, Jasmine Settles, Akina Morrow, MadameFraankie, and Rheannan Watson.
Settles says water signifies birth, renewal, and cleansing. The link between women and water is strong. Settles points to women carrying life as the biggest example.
"Women's Water" will be divided into three phases: drought, flood, and dance. The drought section will denote a "lack thereof," Settles says. It will take a look at when people don't have the basic necessities. Flood will cover the feeling of drowning, when life becomes too much. Dance will be about how we move through the phases.
And while one of the phases is titled "Dance," the only dancing during "Women's Water" will be symbolic. "It's how we move through life," Settles explains.
Settles says there will be some heavy topics touched on, like Hurricane Katrina and the Flint Water Crisis.
And, of course, the Mississippi River will make an appearance.
"Yeah," Settles says, "we mention the Mississippi often."
"Women's Water: the Emergence of Drought, Flood, and Dance" at Evergreen Theatre Friday and Saturday, March 15th-16th, 7 p.m.


Is this increasingly virtual world of emails, private instant messaging, social media networks, and tweets, the business card has lost a bit of luster, but it's still a gold mine. Why? Well they've become more personal then when they were the standard and when everyone was overusing them.
The printed and polished card will probably always be a major tool in any business man's arsenal. Many generations from now when humanity has conquered the stars and business deals go down over vast distances of space, smart entrepreneurs will still be carrying these things in their bio-suit somewhere. However, they must be used properly and carefully in this contemporary age where their innate power can so easily be broken with one wrong or hasty move.
No matter how amazing they are or how fascinating in detail and overall execution, cards left at home are as worthless as a bathing suit on Mars if a guy doesn't carry them.
Big tip: they're small and paper thin, so carry them in your wallet where they'll stay straight and clean!
There's no need to have a hundred on hand at anytime. In fact, because they should be guarded and only handed out on certain grounds, about ten should be fine. These are not things to hurl at anyone and everyone anymore – only to those who ask under certain circumstances. The key is getting them to ask.
What's the first or second question most men are asked when out and about meeting strangers? "What do you do?" For men that are considering business cards, it's usually because their company/service is of use to many people, and interesting. Few burger flippers carry these bad boys.
Fact: these days VERY few people will ask for a business card.
However, MANY people will want to text, email, or exchange numbers. If it's an informal or completely non-business occasion and they're worth making a connection with, then candidly supply some digits. If it's formal, stand out and offer them a card. No big deal – it's just a card, right?
Wrong, it's classy; it's debonair; it's rare; and dignified in this horridly informal cyber culture of ours.
If they're coworkers, friends of friends, or family, chances are the card should stay in the wallet. These folks should remember you and know how to contact you if a need arises.
Never drop cards into cattle-call bowls, tac them on bulletin boards, or toss them into raffles because the only people that will end up calling are salesmen.
Never ever give people your cards to hand out for you, because that's plain ridiculous. These things should be perceived as precious commodities. If you want something done right, well, you're going to have to pony-up and do it your damn self.
Hey, no one said it had to make sense. It just needs to sound deep, and make people wonder.

This week's issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that the current plan for WrestleMania 35 is to have a match between Brock Lesnar and Seth Rollins.
It doesn't necessarily mean that Brock Lesnar will be Universal Champion, but I would say it's more than likely even though I strongly believe Braun Strowman should have a win over Lesnar especially after how he lost to Lesnar at Crown Jewel earlier this month.
The news also doesn't necessarily mean that Seth Rollins will get the match by winning the Royal Rumble, but it shouldn't be ruled out. As of the time of writing, Rollins is 9/1 (Betway) and 8/1 (Sky Bet) to win January's battle royal.
The only other way Rollins would get to challenge Lesnar - if it's a Universal Title match at Mania - is through the Elimination Chamber in February.

Here's What Skipping Breakfast Does to Your Body
By Amanda MacMillan
It's a hotly contested question in the nutrition world: is breakfast really the most important meal of the day? Experts say that people who eat breakfast are less likely to overeat the rest of the day, but recent studies have found no difference in weight between those who skip their morning meal and those who don't. In the meantime, skipping meals has become an increasingly popular part of modern life.
Breakfast-eaters tend to have lower rates of heart disease, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, the American Heart Association reported earlier this year, but the group says the science isn't strong enough to suggest that people who don't normally eat breakfast should start. On the other hand, some research has even suggested that fasting for longer overnight periods (eating an early dinner, for example) could actually help people lose weight.
Now, a small new study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition sheds some light on what really happens in the body when people skip breakfast on a regular basis. People burn more calories on days they skip breakfast, but that the habit may increase dangerous inflammation.
MORE: 5 Fascinating Facts About Breakfast
Researchers from the University of Hohenheim in Germany tested 17 healthy adults on three separate days: once when they skipped breakfast, once when they had three regular meals and once when they skipped dinner. Despite the change in scheduling, the calorie content and breakdown of carbohydrates, fat and protein were the same on all three days. (On days with a skipped meal, the other two meals had extra calories to make up for it.) Each day, blood samples were collected frequently from 7 a.m. until 9 p.m. to measure hormone levels, glucose and insulin concentrations, and immune cell activity.
They found that people burned more calories over a 24-hour period when they extended their overnight fast by skipping either lunch (41 more calories) or dinner (91 more calories), compared with the three-meals-a-day schedule. These findings are in line with other studies on time-restricted eating.

They found no difference in 24-hour glucose levels, insulin secretion or total physical activity between the three days. But glucose concentrations and markers of inflammation and insulin resistance were higher after lunch on breakfast-skipping days.
People also oxidized more fat, meaning their bodies broke down more of their stored fat reserves, on days when they skipped breakfast. That may sound like a good thing, but the researchers say it could have a downside. It suggests an impairment in metabolic flexibility, the body's ability to switch between burning fat and carbohydrates—which "may in the long term lead to low-grade inflammation and impaired glucose homeostasis," they wrote.
The researchers concluded that because chronic inflammation is known to affect insulin sensitivity, skipping breakfast could contribute to "metabolic impairment," which could potentially raise the risk for obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Courtney Peterson, assistant professor of nutrition sciences at the University of Alabama Birmingham, says that more research is needed in order to know the bottom line on breakfast. It's too early to know whether skipping breakfast has a meaningful effect on inflammation levels, she says, and "the authors' data does not support the idea that breakfast skipping is bad for health." Peterson, who was not involved in the new research, studies time-restricted eating. (She led the 2016 study mentioned above, which found that eating an early dinner can boost calorie burn.)
Because the researchers only measured inflammation levels after lunch, she says, "it's possible that skipping breakfast increases inflammation at lunchtime but decreases it other times of the day." And because the study was only a few days long, it can't say whether skipping breakfast regularly would affect health or metabolism.
The study also suggests that skipping breakfast or dinner might help people lose weight, since they burned more calories on those days. Yet she says that the elevated levels of inflammation noted after lunch "could be a problem," and adds that the finding warrants further research. Skipping meals and other types of intermittent fasting may not be realistic for most people, Peterson says—and it does have the potential to backfire if it triggers unhealthy snacking or overeating later on.
You may even want to rethink which meal you're sacrificing. Because calorie burn in this study was greater when skipping dinner compared with skipping breakfast, Peterson says "it might be better for weight loss to skip dinner than to skip breakfast."
This fits with what's already known about humans' circadian clock, she adds: "Your metabolism and blood sugar control are better in the morning than they are in the evening and at night, so it makes sense to eat more food earlier in the day."

ATandT Netbook Deal Offers Broadband Service for $50 a Month
By: Michelle Maisto | April 02, 2009
AT&T is offering netbooks for as low as $49.99 with the purchase of its monthly mobile broadband plan, "squeezing PCs into the cell phone model," as one analyst puts it. Available as a trial in Atlanta and limited Philadelphia stores, it includes netbooks and mini-notebooks from Acer, Dell, LG and Lenovo.
AT&T has a deal for residents of Atlanta and Philadelphia.
The wireless carrier has announced it is offering prices as low as $49.99 for mini-notebooks - or "netbooks" - in combination with the AT&T "Internet at Home and On the Go" broadband services plan, as part of a limited trial offer in select company-owned stores.
More specifically, AT&T says that in Atlanta it will:
- Offer a variety of ultra-portable mini laptops with built-in AT&T 3G wireless capabilities at promotional prices starting at $49.99 with the purchase of AT&T "Internet at Home and On the Go" broadband services.
- Trial 30-minute in-store technical support - part of the AT&T ConnecTech suite of services - at select locations for customers who purchase qualifying data plans.
- Feature, as part of the same trial in select stores, an Internet at Home and On the Go package that combines home and mobile broadband starting as low as $59.95 per month, including access to the AT&T 3G network and unlimited domestic access to 20,000 AT&T Wi-Fi hot spots.
- Pre-installed AT&T Communication Manager on mini-laptops, enabling customers to manage their mobile and Wi-Fi connections.
In eight Philadelphia-area locations, AT&T is offering similar promotional rates for mini-notebooks, with the purchase of AT&T DataConnect plans.
The mini-laptops and netbooks on offer include the Acer Aspire One, the Dell Inspiron Mini 9, the Dell Inspiron Mini 12 and the LG Xenia.
With the purchase of the AT&T Internet at Home and On the Go plan - which includes an AT&T DataConnect plan and AT&T Fast Access DSL, and starts at $59.95 per month - the netbooks are being offered for between $49.99 and $249.99.
The mini-laptops come preloaded with AT&T Communication Manager software, which helps customers to manage their usage and connections and alerts them of AT&T hotspots networks or other previously used Wi-Fi networks.
Also on the table, with the purchase of the Internet at Home and Go plan, is the option of a Lenovo ThinkPad X200 ultraportable laptop, with built-in 3G capabilities, for $749.99 - or, for $849.99 with a two-year Data Connect plan only. (Retail pricing for the ThinkPad X200 is approximately $1,350.)
Mini-laptops present a new way for carriers to grow subscriber numbers, with the devices' low price points opening a door for the carriers to offer the same type of "nearly free" deals that they offer around cell phones.
"The idea is to squeeze a PC into the cell phone model," says Roger Kay, president of Enpoint Technologies.
"The problem 10 years ago was that the PC was too expensive to fit neatly into the subsidized model. The resulting monthly costs were too high and the term of contract, (three years) too long. In addition, the PC itself was too low a specification."
Now, Kay explains, "For $400-$500 AT&T can get a nice netbook and subsidize it without creating pricing distortions. The Europeans have been doing this for months already."

George Clooney is 'Michael Clayton' on HBO Max
!Featured, Academy Award nominee, Blu-ray, drama, DVD, Have You Seen...?, Hulu, Politics, Streaming Movies, SVOD, thriller 11/18/202101/02/2022 Sean Axmaker
"I'm not a miracle worker. I'm a janitor."
George Clooney simmers as Michael Clayton (2007), a legal "fixer" who works behind the scenes of a powerful New York law firm, in Tony Gilroy's smart, sharp legal drama. When he's sent to clean up the moral meltdown of the firm's leading litigator (Tom Wilkinson), he unwittingly stumbles into a corporate conspiracy with reverberations that could kill him.
This description makes Michael Clayton sound the kind of adrenaline thriller that made screenwriter Gilroy's name (namely the Bourne espionage thrillers, which Gilroy scripted with a certain realpolitik intelligence), but it's much more of a chamber drama where characters wield dialogue like precision weapons. Clooney plays a sharp legal mind who is not permitted a title commensurate with his job or his value to his legal firm because he works under the radar so often. Gilroy directs with a cool hand and an underplayed sense of drama, letting the words and the performances carry the film.
Nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor (George Clooney), Best Screenplay and Best Director (both Tony Gilroy). Tilda Swinton earned a supporting actress nomination for her unsettlingly subtle performance as a corporate lawyer, Wilkinson is a supporting actor nominee, and Sydney Pollack, Michael O'Keefe and Ken Howard co-star.

I met Emilia Tuukkanen and Santeri Lilius over a year ago while traveling through Europe. We hit it off right away when I stopped in to the Roger Gracie Academy in Malaga, Spain to train and they encouraged me to come back for a Roger Gracie Camp and even let me stay with them for a week to participate.(If you missed it, I recently wrote a 2 Part piece on this year's camp. Pt 1 and Pt 2) It was an awesome experience and I learned a lot about them, Finland, and the daily life of a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu power couple.
Santeri began training in Jiu Jitsu after starting in MMA. Sometime later Emilia joined the budding Finnish team. Neither remembers who asked who out first. After training together for so long it seemed to just naturally happen. It's worth saying that Emilia counts their first date as the first time she choked him and Santeri claims he tapped her first. Spoken like a perfect couple! Santeri did tell me once that he waited a while to see if Emilia would do well in competitions before they started officially dating so it seems like he had his eye on her from the start.
As is typically the case in relationships, Emilia is the brains of the operation and keeps the two organized. Santeri takes at least twice as long to respond to anything and isn't nearly as put together.(You're most honest when you talk about your friends) His gifts are drive, discipline, and resilience. They meet in the middle with huge hearts and a generosity that is absolutely inspiring. The list of people they've fed, housed, and helped is too long to list. They are not overly affectionate in public, likely because they never know when the other one is going to attack them, but you can see how good of a couple they are from the moment you meet them and they bring a great balance to each other.
Many people think the Jiu Jitsu lifestyle is glamorous but it's pretty much just eating, sleeping, and training. They typically get up around 9 or 10am and cook a simple healthy breakfast. Emilia goes to her job as a paddleboard/fitness instructor and Santeri teaches jiu jitsu at their new gym LiliusBarnatt Martial Arts. After tough workouts, they return home for home cooked lunch and naps if training is uber intense. They have to tell their dog, Culo, to "go away" about 57 times and play with him as he leaps after ropes higher than an Olympic high jumper and it's pretty much time for the night training session. Upon returning home they have another healthy meal and Santeri typically logs some time either watching Jiu Jitsu videos or playing video games while Emilia busily writes for her blog or other publications.
After 5 days of hard training the weekend has some rest built in. They sleep in, hit the beach, and take Culo out for walks. Santeri usually has one cheat day outside of competition that is either a cute brunch spot in Torremolinos; or more often than not, a big burrito filled with Doritos and other unknown substances.(It's pretty bomb by-the-way!) If there are tournaments or seminars, they are on the road and if there are fight events, they are watching them.
For anyone trying to be a world champion all of the above may sound like a dream but it's not without its costs. I asked them both their favorite and least favorite part of being a power couple. For a more in depth look you can read an article Emilia wrote on the subject.
Emilia: The best thing is that he knows how to support me because he knows the situation I am in. He understands the sacrifices that come with being a full time athlete. The worst thing is the lack of normal relationship stuff. There aren't many dates and we are both very tired from getting up early and training hard.
Santeri and Emilia would like to thank their sponsors: Scramble Brand, Total Shop, Roninwear, and LiliusBarnatt Martial Arts.
I hope you've enjoyed a more in depth look at the life of a jiu jitsu couple. Would you want to live their life? Leave me a comment on the blog and let me know! Also, don't forget to like and share.

Values of Sports Help Oklahoma Couple Handle Health Issues
By Lindsey Atkinson on April 16, 2019 hst
Life is made up of experiences that challenge our body, mind and spirit. Sports teach us that on the other side of every challenge is a lesson learned. When life hit a family of athletes and coaches with the reality of cancer, they pulled from their internal library of lessons learned through sports – resilience, competitiveness, perseverance and toughness – faced the challenge head-on and won.
David Glover, an assistant director at the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association (OSSAA) and his wife Cyndy Glover, a retired Oklahoma educator, have been relying on these skills since the words, "you have cancer" hit them not once, not twice, but three times during their 39-year marriage.
David was first diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2011. The doctors were able to surgically remove the tumor, and for six years David was cancer free and doing what he loved most – positively impacting the kids of Oklahoma.
"David is a very positive person; his cup is always half full," Cyndy said. "He shows people that he cares for them. He's loving and kind and he's thoughtful."
Through those six years, the Glovers counted their blessings as they welcomed four grandchildren into the world and watched their daughters begin successful careers. Then in 2018, while the Glovers were enjoying the 2018 NFHS Annual Summer Meeting in Chicago with their OSSAA family, Cyndy got a call from her doctor.
"I always get called back after my mammograms, so when I got a call back, I didn't think anything of it," Cyndy said.
This time the news would be different and on July 5, 2018, Cyndy had a biopsy that revealed she did indeed have breast cancer. Cyndy immediately pulled from the skills she says she gained as a former high school and college basketball player.
"I just think through athletics, you learn that when you get beat, you don't get down. You just got up and worked harder the next day," Cyndy said. "You just have to look at the positives after a loss and think, 'what did your team learn, what did you learn and work at those things to get better.' I'm so thankful that I got to play the game of basketball."
Cyndy approached her treatment like a regular-season athletic schedule: biopsy on the 5th, diagnosis on the 9th, MRI on the 16th, meet with surgeon on the 23rd, surgery on the 30th and six weeks later start radiation. The schedule was in place.
The unbelievable part in all of this is that while Cyndy was setting up her regular-season schedule, David received his own bit of bad news. The cancer that he had fought and beat was now back. Not only was it back, but it was literally eating his spine.
On July 28, only five days after Cyndy met with her surgeon, David underwent a PET scan that showed his T11 vertebra was being consumed by cancer. On August 6, the biopsy confirmed that not only was it cancer, but David was at serious risk of paralysis.
As Cyndy recalls, the doctor said, "Cyndy, we can't let David move quickly. We can't let him twist. We can't let him turn. He can't lift anything over 10 pounds because if that thing gives, he will be paralyzed from the neck down."
The seriousness of the situation was hard for David to grasp as he had been living with back pain since March of 2017. Steroid injections were helping him continue to function.
"David's kind of one of those, "if you don't think about it, it will go away" people and it wasn't going away," Cyndy said.
David was in to see his oncologist that same week in August, and on the 24th he underwent a five-hour surgery that involved the removal of one rib and the T11 vertebra and in its place the doctor inserted two rods and eight screws. Radiation soon followed.
To make this already unbelievable story more unbelievable, while David was preparing to leave the house for a radiation appointment he started feeling chest pain. The radiation staff recommended he have it checked out and within a few hours David was diagnosed with pericarditis and was undergoing surgery to remove the blockage and insert a stint.
"I wasn't recovering quickly enough from my surgery," David said. "I had no energy. I was going to radiation. I'd leave there and go into work for as long as I could. I'd come home and have no energy, like I was depressed. I wasn't getting enough blood to my heart."
David's positive attitude and can-do spirit that Cyndy was first attracted to when they met at Northwestern Oklahoma State University as student-athletes was severely tested through this experience.
"I realized this was different than any other game I'd been in, because you know it was the most challenging thing that I've had to face – learning to not get down," David said.
It was David's drive to get back into the office and work for the student-athletes of Oklahoma that kept his spirits up.
"The one thing I miss about coaching and school administration is that day-to-day interaction with kids. The only time I get to make that difference with kids now is during my events," he said. "I got back plenty early for basketball, but I did probably come back too soon."
David and Cyndy were back in their comfort zone hosting the 2019 OSSAA basketball state championships. This is an opportunity for the Glovers to give back to the community that supported them throughout this past year.
"We had Special Olympics come out and do some scrimmaging at halftime. [The OSSAA] honored some journalists in the state that were retiring that have done a lot for high school athletics," David said. "The kid part of this is why I do it. I want to make a difference, even if it's just a little bit; that's what's important."
The Glovers feel nothing but blessed after their battles with cancer – blessed to be alive, blessed to have the love of their family, blessed to live in Oklahoma and feel the love of community and blessed to serve the student-athletes of Oklahoma.

The News in Zingers

http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | Boston Bruins star Tim Thomas refused to attend a White House ceremony honoring their Stanley Cup. He's protesting that the federal government is out of control. You know all the incumbents are going to lose when people with head injuries and no teeth can see it.
President Obama gave his State of the Union address in the U.S. Capitol Tuesday. The chamber held Congress, the cabinet and the Supreme Court. In case of catastrophe, the captain of the Costa Concordia remained outside the chamber to ensure continuity of government.
President Obama spoke for one hour to Congress in his State of the Union speech on Tuesday. Opinions on it varied. Democrats called the speech an inspiring call to action while Republicans labeled it the longest cold opening in the history of Saturday Night Live.
The JFK Library in Boston released new audiotapes of President Kennedy discussing policy with advisers on the phone fifty years ago in the Oval Office. On one tape you can hear high-pitched squealing voices in the background. The library swears it's his kids.
Carnival Cruises failed Tuesday to straighten up the Costa Concordia, capsized off the coast of Italy. It's still on its side after ten days. The captain is in jail but he will live in Italian lore forever as the man who replaced Frank Sinatra as the King of the Over-Tippers.
NBC News held a GOP debate in Tampa Tuesday but the network told the crowd not to applaud, cheer or laugh during the debate. The crowd sat completely silent through all their best lines. Only comedians who've told Obama jokes in Los Angeles know the feeling.
The Super Bowl pits the New England Patriots against the New York Giants at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The stadium's naming rights were purchased during the last administration. President Bush gave oil companies a thirty percent discount on everything.
The Supreme Court ruled police must obtain a warrant before they can attach a GPS tracking device to a car. The ruling freed a cocaine dealer. The government is not allowed to know everywhere you go and everything you're doing unless they're giving you a tax credit for it.

US Rail Traffic Slumps Again
FreightWaves , FreightWaves.com
Year-to-date U.S. rail volumes tumbled 4.8% as macroeconomic uncertainty weighs on rail traffic.
Rail volumes so far this year totaled 25.3 million carloads and intermodal units for the week ending Dec. 7, according to the Association of American Railroads (AAR). Of that total, U.S. carloads slipped 4.6% to 12.3 million while U.S. intermodal units fell 4.9% to 13 million containers and trailers.
Economic uncertainty weighs on rail volumes. Source: SONAR Surf
Meanwhile, overall North American rail volumes year-to-date were down 3.7% to nearly 34.6 million carloads and intermodal units among the 12 railroads that report data to AAR. Canadian railroads hauled 0.3% fewer carloads and intermodal units, at 7.4 million units year-to-date, while Mexican railroads hauled 2.8% fewer carloads and intermodal units, at nearly 1.9 million year-to-date.
The decline in rail volumes in 2019 can be attributed to a number of factors, including softness in the U.S. industrial economy, brought on in part by trade uncertainties, AAR said last week.
This week, though, brought about hopes within the industry and among shippers that some trade resolution might be at hand, at least among the U.S., Canada and Mexico. President Donald Trump and U.S. House of Representatives leadership have indicated that Congress could soon ratify the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), a trade agreement that will replace the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
"As the backbone of the North American supply chain, freight railroads applaud today's announcement, which provides much-needed certainty with our two largest trading partners," AAR CEO Ian Jefferies said Dec. 10. "Congress should move with haste to ratify USMCA before the end of the year and provide an economic shot in the arm to U.S. businesses."
AAR has estimated that intermodal trade accounts for 42% of U.S. freight railroads' carloads and intermodal units, with more than 35% of rail revenue directly associated with international trade.
"Retailers are very encouraged by this positive step forward to approve the USMCA, which will provide key updates to the landmark North American Free Trade Agreement and promote long-term economic growth. The USMCA takes many important steps to modernize the agreement to reflect today's global and digital economy," said National Retail Federation CEO Matthew Shay. "This agreement could not come at a better time and provides certainty for U.S. retailers that rely on the North American market, including those that operate in Canada and Mexico."

Review: How AmpliFi Can Boost Your Smart Home's Wi-Fi
AmpliFi's three-tiered Wi-Fi system will cover your entire smart home.
Stewart Wolpin
AmpliFi HD (High-Density) Home Wi-Fi System
New From: $349.00 in Stock
Pros: Easy to add satellites, wide, fast coverage for most homes, good/better/best system choices.
Cons: No Ethernet jacks on satellites, grounded three-prong jack on satellites, no dedicated parental controls.
There are two prevailing Wi-Fi mesh approaches. One is deploying a base station connection to a cable modem with a second satellite blanketing the rest of the home with Wi-Fi. The second is a more distributed system in which there is a base station then multiple satellites, often one satellite for each room or area of the house.
Surprisingly, the second distributed type of mesh system are actually cheaper than the two-piece systems, such as the good/better/best AmpliFi mesh systems being sold by Ubiquity. Instead of two pieces, the dual-band AmpliFi mesh systems, sold in good/better/best configurations, are three-packs consisting of a square base with a touchscreen and two tall, thin satellites.
• the basic AmpliFi System ($199), designed to cover 10k square feet,
• AmpliFi LR (Super Long Range, $299), designed to cover 20k square feet, and
• AmpliFi HD (High Density, $349), also designed to cover 20k square feet but incorporating two extra radios to supply additional bandwidth.
It is this last highest-quality system I tested, which is $50 less than the two-piece Netgear Orbi.
The tall satellite nodes have a piece that can pivot at the top, and be pointed towards the base.
AmpliFi's aesthetic is unique among all the mesh systems. Instead of nearly identical base and nodes/satellites, the AmpliFi base is a 4-inch square cube with a white monochromatic touchscreen on the front that cycles through four displays: time (12 or 24-hour), cumulative data, network speed, and system information, all of which also is found in the app. Other than the time, I found little use for the information on the other screens.
In the app, you can adjust the screen brightness and switch to a night mode that turns the display off in case the base is placed in a room where its glow would be distracting.
There are four Ethernet jacks on the back of the base, so it can serve as a router.
Uniquely, the two-inch-wide, 10-inch tall satellites are actually two pieces; a three-inch tall base with a grounded (three-pronged) outlet, and a 7-inch tall upper antenna piece connected via a magnetic pivot. You can tilt the antenna 45 degrees down and around 180 degrees, all of which allows you to generally point it in the general direction of the base.
As a result of this configuration, the satellites are designed to be plugged into three-pronged wall outlets like sconces, which could be a problem if you need to plug into an outlet strip. Most satellites from other mesh systems are free-standing using two-prong jacks.
Unfortunately, the satellites lack auxiliary Ethernet jacks, so you can't physically connect a device to it as you can with satellites from other systems.

AmpliFi HD's setup couldn't be simpler. An app guides you through the process, or you can use the touchscreen on the base combined with a web browser on a tablet or PC. A printed manual also is included.
As with all mesh systems, you power down your modem, connect the base to it, then power both on. In the app, you can name the network and create a password; it's likely the system will want you do perform a system firmware update via the app, which should take less than five minutes.
Once your system is back online, you simply plug the satellites into a grounded AC outlet in another room. Five vertical LED lights will flicker on the satellite then go solid in around a minute; the number of lights lit indicate the connection strength with the base. You also can check the connection strength of each satellite in the app.
If the connection with the base isn't as strong as you'd like, you can pivot the satellite head so it's sort of pointed toward the general direction of the base.
And that's it. AmpliFi was among the pain-free mesh systems to set up.
AmpliFi will display download and upload speeds on its app.
On my MacBook Pro, AmpliFi averaged around 110-150Mbps up to around 50 feet away with the usual wall obstructions. Downloading a 3GB file took around 10 minutes, ranking behind only Orbi and Portal.
As long as you don't have too many people streaming 4K video simultaneously, AmpliFi ought to provide plenty of bandwidth in each room of most American homes.
The app also is simple and straight-forward; you can view the performance level of each satellite or the whole system, pause service to each satellite or the whole system, and set restricted times for guest access. There are no dedicated parental controls, however.
AmpliFi comes with a base plus two nodes in its basic set-up.
At $350 for three rooms (a base and two nodes), this premier AmpliFi system falls in the middle of the mesh price range. It's far less expensive than two-room systems from Netgear and Portal, but more expensive than multi-room systems from Plume and Luma. Appropriately, AmpliFi HD also falls in the middle of the mesh range in terms of performance, nearer to the fastest.
I'd recommend AmpliFi HD for expansive homes with thick or steel-reinforced walls filled with mid- to heavy users. A system with a centrally-located base and satellites toward the sides of your home will get everyone the Wi-Fi they need, even upstairs and down.
If your home isn't a mansion built like a fortress, you can certainly get away with the basic or LR AmpliFi system to save a bit more.

Georgia expects a recount, all eyes now on Pennsylvania
Jill A. Olivieri
Georgia, a pivotal state in the American election race between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, is likely to recount the votes. State Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger reported this in a press conference on Friday.
Attention is shifting to Pennsylvania
"With such a small margin, we have to start counting again," said Raffensperger.
Georgia is a neck-and-neck race. Joe Biden has taken the lead with just 1,579 votes and 99 percent of the votes have already been counted. Both Biden and Trump currently hold 49.4 percent of the vote in the state.
Trump was still in the lead in Georgia until Friday morning, but Biden had been chasing him since Wednesday.
Georgia is a pivotal state in the running for president. Should Biden Georgia win, he will get sixteen electoral votes to make a total of 269. That's just one too few to officially call him the 46th president.
Biden then only has to win one state from Alaska, Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, the other five states where no winner has yet been declared. If Trump does not win Georgia, he will no longer have a chance to win the necessary 270 electoral votes. In theory, there can only be a tie.
If Georgia finally turns blue (Democratic vote), it will be the first time in 28 years. So it will only take a while before we really know that.
This shifts the focus completely to Pennsylvania. If Biden takes Pennsylvania 's twenty electoral votes, the race is over. He then comes to a total of 273.
At the moment, Biden is narrowly leading the state with a lead of nearly seven thousand votes. 95 percent of the votes in Pennsylvania are now counted. More than 100,000 votes have yet to be counted, but Biden got 87 percent of the last batch announced.
It is therefore quite possible that American media will already 'give away' this state to Biden before they have finished counting and declare Biden as the new president.

Races exists as the result of artistic rebirth and personal rediscovery. Wade Ryff's hit a point in life (as many artists do) where motivation was scarce. He was faced with the dilemma of being 23, a failed relationship, and being stuck at his parents house in suburbia where he wrote the lyrics to "Big Broom." He explains the songs message is about, "accepting that every ending is a new beginning, and even if we may have no control over when things are given or taken from us, we can always choose how to respond."
At the same time a handful of other musicians were faced with the same challenge of idling through their 20s in search of a new beginning. In a "mad dash" Ryff and Herberg got in touch with some of their old friends an assembled a "dream team" of five. Knowing each other from playing in previous bands together, Breanna Wood (Keyboards), Garth Herberg (Guitar), Lucas Ventura (Drums), Devon Lee (Vocals/Percussion) and Oliver Hild (Bass) would soon become Races.
The vocals on the second track "Big Broom" are both dreamy and engaging mixing male/females vocals. They have created an almost classic-psych sound while keeping it indie and pop driven. Although, at its core, there are plenty of waltzes such as: "The Knife", "Walk Through Fire", and "All For You" which all have the melodic lyrical directness of Ryff's solo work.
Races is already writing material for their followup album, where they hope to integrate more electronic textures. While remaining modest, they are speeding up with goals to play at venues such as the Bowery Ballroom in NYC. All in all, I have much appreciation for an album that heavily touches the subject of that uncertain/weird time most of us go through in our early 20s with such optimism for a bright future.
Buzzbands LA : "the sextet "melds charismatic indie-pop highlighted by the boy/girl vocals of Wade Ryff and Devon Lee, jammier psych-rock built around by guitarist's Garth Herberg's textures and the revivalesque energy meted out by bands such as Arcade Fire." That's a mouthful, but its right on.
