*Captain Lee Chong Wei defeated youngster Anthony Ginting to deliver the expected point from the opening singles.
*But Goh V Shem-Tan Wee Kiong were a let down again as they lost to Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo-Marcus Fernaldi Gideon.
*Lee Zii Jia put up a gallant fight against Jonatan Christie, but was powerless to prevent his opponent from winning Indonesia’s second point to make it 2-1.

BANGKOK: It’s 26 years and counting.
The nation’s wait for Thomas Cup trophy continues as Malaysia were beaten 1-3 by arch-rivals Indonesia in the quarter-finals at the IMPACT Arena in Bangkok on Thursday.
Lee Chong Wei gave Malaysia a fine start by winning the opening singles, but team-mates Goh V Shem-Tan Wee Kiong, Lee Zii Jia and Aaron Chia-Teo Ee Yi have all failed to deliver in their respective matches.
Scratch pair Aaron-Ee Yi failed to produce the magics needed to stretch the clash into the third singles decider as they went down 18-21, 21-10, 9-21 to Muhammad Rian Ardianto-Fajar Alfian.
Earlier, the 35-year-old Chong Wei continued to show that he is dependable when he delivered Malaysia’s first point by defeating a fast-attacking Anthony Ginting 21-19, 21-16 in a 49-minute match.
It was Chong Wei’s second win over the 21-year-old Anthony this year after beating him at the Asian Badminton Championships last month.
“I kept to the same pattern like how I played yesterday (against Viktor Axelsen of Denmark) and went on the assault from the start,” said Chong Wei.
“I looked at opportunites to win points. Anthony is 15 years younger than me and he was aggressive but I managed to play the right game to beat him,” he said.
But the joy was shortlived when national No. 1 doubles shuttlers Goh V Shem-Tan Wee Kiong failed to extend Malaysia’s lead when they went down 19-21, 22-20, 13-21 in a 55-minute match.
The match was closely contested in the first two games but the Malaysians eventually ran out of gas.
Said Wee Kiong: “We actually played well – better than yesterday but lacked luck.”
“It didn’t go our plan in the third game. We’re nervous with our return shots, and made mistakes.
Having failed again to deliver point following their defeat in a tie against Denmark on Wednesday, V Shem said: “The expectations was on us to win and we wanted the same too. We’ve to accept this defeat.
Lee Zii Jia, too, could not secure the second point. The 20-year-old debutant gave world No.11 and KL SEA Games gold medallist Jonatan Christie a run for his money before losing 15-21, 21-11, 13-21 in 48 minutes.
“I tried my best but Jonatan played well today. I kept pushing but it was evident that he was phsyically stronger at the end. I ran out of energy,” said Zii Jia.
With the exit, the team failed to achieve the semi-finals target set by the Badminton Association of Malaysia. The last time Chong Wei and Co failed to reach last four was in Wuhan six years ago.
Indonesia will take on China for a place in the final, while defending champions Denmark face Japan in the other semi-final encounter on Friday.

This paper provides a polynomial time heuristic for the real-time communication scheduling problem in multi-hop wireless sensor networks. Wireless networks add a new dimension to the real-time communication problem because of interference: a transmission cannot be scheduled on a radio link if another transmission is scheduled on any interfering link. The problem being NP-hard in nature, the authors propose a novel heuristic that comes into two parts: a scheduler that uses a topological analysis of the network to anticipate the effects of radio interference in order to improve scheduling prioritization and an iterative route update scheme that pushes apart interfering streams and spreads them out over the network to reduce interference and improve schedulability while meeting the deadline requirements.

Generally, federal employment laws prohibit employers from hiring only men. Such hiring practices are considered discriminatory. However, federal law allows employers to use gender as a condition for employment under certain conditions. Employers can hire only men if no woman could perform the job. However, when discrimination laws apply, some jobs still predominantly attract male applicants.
Many stage and screen acting jobs and jobs for dancers and singers require you to be a man. Producers and directors often desire to create a sense of believability and genuineness in their products, and it would be less believable for most audiences if a woman played a male role. In other cases, entertainment jobs are male-specific because the employer is specifically providing a product or service that requires men. For example, the Chippendales franchise caters to women who wish to see men performing exotic dances. Thus, Chippendales only considers male performers. Some fashion model jobs also are male-specific since they involve modeling men’s clothing and accessories.
Upscale or trendy nightclubs and restaurants sometimes hire attendants to work in bathrooms. These bathroom attendant jobs require workers to be of the same gender as people who will use the bathroom. Thus, half of all bathroom attendant jobs are available only to male applicants. Some locker room jobs and janitorial jobs may also be male-only positions since the jobs could require employees to work in locker rooms and bathrooms where only men are allowed.
The Catholic church does not allow women to join the priesthood. Only men may be ordained as priests, and only men can serve as deacons in the Catholic church. According to Georgetown University, the Catholic church employed 39,600 priests in 2013. In 1994, Pope John Paul II formally stated that the church does not have the power to ordain women. Some Catholics believe the church will change its position on women joining the priesthood.
Major sports organizations do not have rules against women players, but Major League Baseball and the National Football League both have 100 percent male athletes. Thus, many consider playing professional football or baseball to be male-specific jobs. According to an article published by Major League Baseball, it is nearly impossible for women to play professional baseball because few women could qualify. According to the article, only about 10,000 women play baseball beyond the Little League level, and most women play softball.
For decades, frontline combat jobs in the military were available only to men. In 2013, the United States changed its policy to allow women to serve on the front lines during combat missions. However, full integration is not expected to be complete in 2016, and the U.S. Pentagon is still determining how to integrate women into combat positions. Therefore, nearly all combat jobs are still held only by men. This is particularly true of special ops jobs, such as Navy SEALs and Army Rangers. These jobs have been limited to men over the years due to the difficulty in meeting physical requirements.
Men dominate in some industries. These include police and firefighting jobs and jobs requiring good math skills. According to CNN Money, few tech CEOs are women. That industry, too, is dominated by men. Men dominate these professions for various reasons, including gender biases, the physical requirements of the work, and the tendency for men to aspire to careers in certain fields.

Today’s announcement that the National Labor Relations Board withdrew its complaint against Boeing is being both celebrated by state leaders–and being used as evidence against the NRLB.
The original complaint was that Boeing violated fair labor practices in sidestepping its Washington State workers to locate a new plant in North Charleston, in non-union South Carolina.
The NLRB backed off after the union that said it was wronged voted to ratify a new contract extension with Boeing that, among other things, included a promise from the company to build a new 737 aircraft facility in Washington.
The specter of a drawn-out suit, or possible punishment for the aircraft company, worried SC officials.
Fourth District Congressman Trey Gowdy has vehemently criticized the labor board since they sued Boeing. He also serves on a committee that has been investigating NLRB’s motivations since it sued.
Today, Gowdy said he and the committee chaired by California Congressman Darrell Issa will step up the investigation.
“It confirms my suspicions that the filing of the complain in the first instance was calculated to force Boeing to put more work into Washington State,” Gowdy said. “We continue to believe the NLRB is an activist, executive branch entity.”
“THe NLRB is supposed to be a quasi-judicial, even-handed, balanced, fair entity. They are not supposed to be a mediator to drive one side to negotiate with the other,” said Gowdy.
He says the Oversight and Government Reform Committee should be able to get the records it asked for:”The fact that there is no longer any ongoing litigation certainly removes the excuse that they gave us for not providing documents.”
Today, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, based on the same reasoning as Gowdy, called for the Senate to look into the NLRB’s actions.
“I find the whole episode between the Machinists Union and the NLRB against Boeing highly suspicious. We have already seen NLRB communications, made available by a Freedom of Information Act, which shows the NLRB had a callous and negative attitude against Boeing’s decision to open a South Carolina facility,” Graham said today in a media release.
“A congressional investigation to answer questions about the NLRB’s role, attitude, and relationship with the parties is definitely warranted. I would urge the appropriate Senate committees to look closely into this matter. If the Senate refuses to act, I would strongly encourage the House of Representatives to move forward.” said Graham.
The senator also said he will continue to place an indefinite Senate hold on nominations to the NLRB Board. Beginning in January 2012, the NLRB will have just two members.
The Supreme Court last year ruled that an agency board with just two members lacks the authority to issue case rulings.

Boston Dynamics has published a pair of new videos showcasing its bipedal Atlas robot. The first is typical Boston Dynamics flash, with two Atlas units demonstrating an extremely impressive gymnastics routine. They flip, they vault, they nearly fall over but not quite — it’s brilliant. The second video, though, offers an unusually transparent assessment of Atlas’ capabilities, as the company’s engineers explain what goes into creating these routines.
As Boston Dynamics has said before, Atlas is essentially a research project: a cutting-edge machine that helps the company’s engineers work out better control and perception systems. “At a practical level it’s a platform for us to do R&D on,” says Benjamin Stephens, control lead for Atlas, in the video. That research includes these gymnastic and parkour routines, with which the company regularly delights (and unnerves) the internet.
Some roboticists, though, have criticized Boston Dynamics for misleading people about the capabilities of its machines. Its videos are impressive, yes, but they’re also tightly structured demonstrations — orchestrated routines that take a lot of tinkering and tweaking to pull off. You can’t just point Atlas at a course and let it do its thing, as Stephens explains in the behind the scenes video: “It’s not the robot just magically deciding to do parkour, it’s kind of a choreographed routine, much like a skateboard video or a parkour video.”
It’s great to have that clarity, and in an accompanying blog post, the company’s engineers give some more detail about how the robot has changed over the years. They note that in past demonstrations it was essentially blind — just pumping out moves that would succeed as long as its environment was unchanged. But now it does rely more on its own perception to navigate, meaning it’s less preprogrammed than before.
“In this iteration of parkour, the robot is adapting behaviors in its repertoire based on what it sees,” says the blog post. “This means the engineers don’t need to pre-program jumping motions for all possible platforms and gaps the robot might encounter.”
And compared to past gymnastic routines, today’s video is notable, with the robot’s movements even looking a little human at times. Just look at this moment around 37 seconds in when Atlas jumps onto a platform, wobbles for a second, and then regains its balance. That’s the sort of dynamic response you can’t preprogram and all the better for it.

Third suspect arrested in deadly Cape Girardeau shooting
CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (KBSI) – A third suspect in a Cape Girardeau shooting was arrested Wednesday.
Officers arrested Mylik J. Starnes, 18, of Cape Girardeau on Sept. 29 in connection with the shooting death of 39-year-old David Flores.
Flores was shot and killed inside his home near Giboney and Hickory Street on Sept. 23, according to the Cape Girardeau Police Department.
Starnes was taken to the Cape Girardeau Police Department on an active warrant for murder in the second degree, robbery in the first degree, and two counts of armed criminal action in connection with the death of Flores. His bond is set at $1 million cash only.
Delijah Z. James, 18, and Isaiah Koen Triplett, 18, both from Cape Girardeau were arrested last week in connection with the killing.
With this third arrest, investigators are confident all suspects connected to this homicide are currently in custody. No further arrests are anticipated.
The Cape Girardeau Police Department thanks the Missouri State Highway Patrol and the Poplar Bluff Police Department for their assistance in the arrest of Starnes.

Your team must perform at peak efficiency for the next few weeks.
This is not the time to start a struggling high-profile player
because their name looks good in your lineup. It’s win or
go home, therefore only start the players who will score the most
points - even if that means sitting someone you selected much
higher on Draft Day. This is no time to let ego get in the way
He's got the dream matchup against the
49ers but is Matt Forte a must start in Week 14?
“Integrity is telling myself the truth. And honesty is telling
the truth to other people.” – Spencer Johnson
1) There may be better fantasy quarterbacks
than Philip Rivers, but none of them have a better fantasy playoff
Rivers has been throwing too many interceptions of late (7 over
the last three games), but he’ll face three of the league’s
bottom seven defenses versus opposing quarterbacks. The Chargers
schedule over the three playoff games from Week 14-16 is; at Carolina
(yielding 23.2 QB FPts/G), home against Oakland (23.0) and at
2) In the copycat NFL, general managers
will follow Dallas’ lead by picking running backs early
True. The 11-1 Cowboys have shown that a great running back can
help hide a subpar defense. The success of Ezekiel Elliott in
2016 is likely to manifest itself in running backs going early
in the 2017 draft and fantasy owners need to be prepared for this
situation. It doesn’t mean you automatically take the top
rookie running backs early in your draft (likely Leonard Fournette,
Dalvin Cook and Christian McCaffrey) - unless they are selected
by a team with an above average offensive line.
3) Kirk Cousins has developed into
the player the Redskins had hoped for when they drafted Robert
Griffin III in 2012.
In his magical rookie season RGIII averaged 24.2 FPts/G. After
a slow start, Cousins is still better than that, averaging 24.3
FPts/G and 28.1 FPts/G over his last six starts. He’ll face
the suddenly toothless Eagles defense this Sunday (more about
them later), then Carolina and Chicago.
4) Mike Evans was disappointing in
Week 13, but he’s a huge bounce-back candidate.
True. Evans has averaged 13.4 FPts/G this season, but he’s
averaging 18.8 FPts/G after scoring less than his season average
the previous weekend. He’s also facing New Orleans at home
5) Matt Forte is a must start in Week
Sure, he hasn’t scored double-digits since Week 10 and he’s
sharing snaps with Bilal Powell, but the Jets play in San Francisco
this weekend and that’s a running back’s surest recipe
for success. The 49ers are, by far, the worst running defense
in the league allowing 28.0 FPts/G to opposing backs. That’s
almost 20-percent more than the next team (Cleveland). San Francisco
yielded 29.7 points last weekend to the man who replaced Forte
in Chicago (Jordan Howard).
“Disinformation is distinguished from misinformation
in that it is intentionally fraudulent.” – Ellen P.
1) Following his monster 32-117-3
game in Week 13, Howard has become a top-five running back option.
Not so fast, every running back has dominated the San Francisco
run defense. Fifteen running backs have scored double-digits in
just 12 games this season and the 49ers average yielding a league-worst
28 FPts per game. Howard will face a couple of tougher run defenses
in Detroit (ranked-11th) and Green Bay (eighth) over the next
two weekends. As we enter the playoffs, my fantasy top-five at
running back is; David
Gordon and LeSean
2) Fantasy owners who gave up on Carson
Palmer were right to move on.
Not so fast. After averaging an ugly 19 FPts/G through the first
six games, he’s averaging 24.6 FPts/G over his last five starts.
He’ll face the Miami Dolphins in a favorable matchup Sunday, as
they have yielded 28.3, 38.1 and 35.1 quarterback points over
the past three games to Rivers, Colin
Kaepernick and Joe
Flacco. That’s not exactly an elite passing trio. A hot Palmer
should light it up in the first round of the playoffs this Sunday.
3) Fantasy studs Russell Wilson and
Ben Roethlisberger are must start quarterbacks.
Better check the numbers before you blurt out the wrong answer.
Over the past three weekends, Wilson is averaging just 18.6 FPts/G
and Big Ben 17.6 FPts/G. They rank 25th and 27th, respectively
over that span. Both quarterbacks could have difficult assignments
this Sunday with Seattle in Green Bay (flurries and 27 degree
weather) and Pittsburgh in Buffalo (flurries and windy).
4) The Philadelphia Eagles defense/special
teams is a top-10 unit.
For the season, yes, the Eagles still rank No. 8, but they have
been living off their early production for weeks, like the Minnesota
Vikings. Philadelphia hasn’t done anything worthwhile the
past five games, averaging just 1.8 FPts/G. They are 28th in sacks
(4), 17th in fumble recoveries (2), 20th in interceptions (3)
and 30th in points allowed (128) with zero defensive or special
teams touchdowns. Sunday should be a big game for the Washington
5) In the preseason I showed concern about whether David Johnson
could produce for a full season as he did over the final five
games of 2015 (658 combined yards, 5 TDs).
I was wrong. Johnson has been the best fantasy running back in
the NFL this season. He’s combined for 1,709 yards from
scrimmage and 15 touchdowns through 12 games and averaged a league-leading
21.7 FPts/G. Just as important for fantasy owners is Johnson’s
worst game is still double-digits – he’s been a consistent
producer from Gm 1 against New England to last weekend versus
Washington. He’s become even more valuable to PPR league
owners where he’s posted 44 receptions for 439 yards and
four scores over the past six games. Johnson should be the favorite
to be the No. 1 overall fantasy selection in 2017.

Labor leader Anthony Albanese has overhauled his frontbench line-up with senior shadow cabinet figures shuffled in major changes ahead of the next election.
Deputy leader Richard Marles has dropped defence for the new portfolio of national construction, while also picking up employment, skills, small business and science.
Ed Husic has been shifted to innovation and jobs after just three months with responsibility for agriculture and resources.
Veteran Victorian MP Brendan O'Connor will be Labor's new defence spokesman, with Pat Conroy and Matt Keogh promoted to supporting roles.
Left faction heavyweight Mark Butler has been bumped from the contentious climate change portfolio, swapping positions with former health spokesman Chris Bowen, who is from the right.
Mr Albanese branded suggestions Labor was softening its climate policy as nonsense.
"Chris Bowen has a very strong position on climate change. I have a strong position on climate change," he said.
He said Mr Bowen, who was shadow treasurer before the 2019 election, would bring a jobs focus to the portfolio, and backed Mr Butler to take the reins on health mid-pandemic.
The Labor leader continues to brush off questions about short and medium-term emissions reduction targets but the party is committed to net zero emissions by 2050.
Tanya Plibersek - a potential leadership rival to Mr Albanese - retains education but loses training, which has been reallocated to Mr Marles under skills.
Mr Albanese declared the new-look team was the strongest chance to form government.
"The reshuffle is all about putting jobs at the centre of what we will do," he said.
Leadership tensions continue to simmer, with some Labor MPs privately losing faith in Mr Albanese's ability to defeat Scott Morrison at the next election, which could be held from August onwards.
Labor MP Joel Fitzgibbon, who has been urging the party to tone down its climate policies, believes moving Mr Butler is the right decision.
But he's also raised the prospect of changing Labor's leadership rules to give caucus majority support more weight.
Mr Albanese said the rules were introduced to end the years of instability that dogged Labor the last time it was in government.
"People will make their own judgement as to whether Joel Fitzgibbon is playing a constructive role as to the prospect of the election of a Labor government or not," the opposition leader said.
In a defiant end to his media conference, Mr Albanese compared himself to Joe Biden, who some commentators said would lose to Donald Trump.
"He's now president of the United States and I will be the leader of this country after the next election."
Clare O'Neill is taking on a new role as shadow minister for senior Australians and aged care services, working alongside Mr Butler.
Labor's deputy Senate leader Kristina Keneally will take on extra responsibility as the spokeswoman for government accountability, with Pat Conroy to assist her.
Tasmanian Julie Collins has been appointed as shadow agriculture minister after losing responsibility for aged care.
West Australian MP Madeline King has added resources to her workload and will continue as trade spokeswoman.
Senator Murray Watt will become spokesman for Queensland resources.

Blight set to destroy box hedges and turn leaves brown after wettest winter on record
- Affected hedges will have to be destroyed say experts
- Two forms of disease flourishing according to Royal Horticultural Society
- Extent of problem unknown till April when weather warms up
- Honey fungus which attacks perennials is most common garden disease
The neat box hedges of the classic English garden could be devastated by disease this summer, experts warned.
The wettest winter on record created ideal conditions for box blight, a fungal disease that turns leaves brown.
Affected hedges usually have to be ripped out.
Blighted: The normally verdant countryside could become brown if expert fears for a fungal disease is realised
Last year’s wet weather had already caused record levels of the blight, according to the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS).
A thing of the past? Blight could devastate the countryside because of the wettest winter on record
And the problem is set to get worse, with the two forms of the disease, Cylindrocladium buxi and Volutella buxi, flourishing.
Dr John David, the RHS’s chief scientist, said it had seen more inquiries about box blight so far in 2014 than in the same period last year.
He added: ‘We believe this is mostly due to problems left over from mild, wet conditions we experienced in 2013.
'Although the extent of any problem won’t become clear until after April, when the weather heats up . . . the RHS believes the likelihood is that box blight will continue to be a common problem in 2014.’
The RHS list of the most common garden diseases for 2013, to be published on Monday, reveals inquiries about box blight were at their highest since the society began keeping records in 1996.
The two forms of blight were fourth and fifth on the list, up from sixth and eighth in 2012.
For the 18th year, honey fungus, which attacks the roots of perennial plants, was the top disease.
Leaf spots, mildews and root rots were also common.
Box blight was found in 1994 at a Hampshire nursery and has spread across the home counties.
Recently, the National Trust had to remove all the box at Buckland Abbey, in Devon, and replant with Japanese holly.
Alternatives to box are hebe, box-leaved holly and boxleaf honeysuckle.

From a quality standpoint, the Nashville Predators have some serious questions on offense. GM David Poile made sure that the “quantity” category has been covered, though.
In fact, Poile would probably be wise to ship a redundant player or two out of town.
Cap Geek lists their NHL-ready forwards at 14 right now.
One might best see the glut of similarly skilled players by looking at their candidates at center. The Predators added Matt Cullen and Matt Hendricks to a group that already included Mike Fisher, David Legwand, Colin Wilson, Paul Gaustad and Craig Smith.
Even if you believe that young forwards such as Wilson and Smith might be better off with fewer defensive responsibilities on the wing, that’s still quite an array of players who can line up in the middle.
Losing the Goose
The team could very well opt to stash players like Taylor Beck in the minors, yet it still seems like their forward group might be a little crowded. Can they really justify paying Gaustad $3.25 million per year if Hendricks bumps him to the fourth-line or if he even slides down to healthy scratch status, for example?
Maybe it’s a matter of assessing who fits best (and where) during training camp or finding the right trade partner at the right time, but the Predators would likely be served well to thin the herd a bit.

I’ve been following Atari developments since I first started using the internet back in the mid-90s and along that time I’ve heard many promises among the homebrew side of things. Many things have made it, but many more have not. Among those promises have been getting a new screen or a TV-out for the Atari Lynx. I recall one project that was going to cost about $200 to pull off but it never materialized. If you’ve had or used a Lynx before then you know how different the screen looks than other color LCD screens with vertical lines, particularly odd ghosting artifacts and the image will fade depending on how you hold it(IIRC this is because it was a passive matrix LCD, which was pretty early tech for LCD displays). It was issues like those and the power consumption caused by the screen that created some of the top sticking points against the system.
In recent years, efforts have been made to address this but we now have the first I am aware of that provides kits for users to mod the Lynx themselves – both with a new LED backlit screen and a VGA out to boot. this is all thanks to a user called McWill, who has figured out the issues and created a professional grade kit to install as well. The results I have seen from all of the posters show an impressive difference – while you cannot adjust the contrast/brightness anymore, the vivid display is worth it. It also drastically improves the battery life, which is now in the 8 hour range as opposed to the 2 or 3. The VGA out also allows you to use this as though it was a retro game console. I’m looking at ordering one and trying this out myself, I have 3 Lynxes lying around so it would be worth it for at least one of them. Here is a video by GadgetUK showing how to install it; if you just want to see the new screen jump to 15:31; 20:33 shows a quick comparison between the original and new which a night and day difference. Amazing work by McWill:


Margaritaville Resort has released pricing details for its first round of pre-sales, and plans to open an onsite sales office on Kissimmee's W192 tourist corridor by Memorial Day.
Marketing and Sales Director David Hurst said the developer, Encore Funds, is finalizing the architectural plans for the 200-room hotel, which is now slated to open in 2018.
"We are anticipating construction to begin on the water park and retail components this summer followed by the hotel late this year," he said via e-mail. "This will put us in position to open the resort with all elements completed in 2018."
The final site plan is expected to receive staff approval from Osceola County's Development Review Committee next week. It discloses Encore's development numbers and phasing schedule.
Grading and site preparation work is already underway on the 321-acre Jimmy Buffett-themed resort. In addition to the public water park, parking areas and hotel, Encore also expects to start construction on the 200,000-square-foot retail and dining complex in its first phase.
The rest of the development program includes up to 340 apartments in phase two, and 60 condos and 198 timeshare units in phase three. The site plan also includes 224 resort cottages ranging from 1,600-4,200 square feet.
"It looks like we will land on 1- to 8-bedroom Key West style cottages ranging in price from $275,000-$699,000," Hurst said. He expects to start taking reservations for the first 60 cottages in June.
The fifth development phase includes 213 single-family home lots along the southeast quadrant of the resort, with access from Formosa Gardens Boulevard.
India Asunto with Encore Resort Homes said Monday that while the project is divided into phases, construction will occur currently on multiple phases. Encore and its architecture team are putting the final touches on renderings for the cottages and the retail center.
Engineer Dave Schmitt also details proposed transportation improvements on the new site plan, including plans to widen the bike path on Hwy. 192 to 10 feet, and rehabilitate the closest Lynx bus shelters.
The resort could include its own park-and-ride lot for Lynx riders and transfer station for a future Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system. Developers can gain parking credits in exchange for building transit amenities.
"I really like this option because we need parking and don't want to build a vertical parking structure," Schmitt said.
The resort also will feature a network of internal bike paths and a bike transit center. "One of our biggest requests is to provide bikes for our renters," he added.


Pardon the pun, but watching Wednesday night’s sensational return of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater to the Auditorium Theatre — its first visit to Chicago since the outbreak of COVID — what came to mind was this brief expression: “Battle ready.”
And it means a great deal more than “being emotionally and physically ready for action.” In fact, it should be seen as a tribute to Robert Battle, the Ailey’s artistic director since 2011 — the dancer and choreographer who followed in the giant footsteps of Ailey and dancer Judith Jamison. Battle has done a superb job of both preserving the company’s heritage and driving it thrillingly into the 21st century.
The first half of Wednesday’s opening night performance was devoted to seven rousing works, all created by Battle, and was followed by a second act devoted, as tradition demands, to Ailey’s enduring signature piece, “Revelations.”
In one way or another the driving force in all of Battle’s wonderfully varied work is the rhythm, which also becomes the key to his storytelling. And those rhythms run the gamut from a contemporary classical score by John Mackey, to composer-singer Sheila Chandra’s hybrid of pop and Indian kathak beats. They also include recordings by Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, Wynton Marsalis and opera diva Leontyne Price.
The evening began with “Mass” (from 2004), which in many ways echoes Ailey’s faith-infused classic but is pure Battle in its incredible energy. Set to a driving, soulful score by Mackey, it opens against a gray-toned, deep-perspective projection of a road that suggests the way to a higher state of being. And as 16 of the company’s stunning dancers gather — their arms often raised toward the heavens as they alternately gather in fluid but intense circular formations, or roll on the floor — their long, clerical-like robes in rust and rose hues (designed by Fritz Masten), move with them until a delicate “sky” of lights designed by Fritz Masten illumines their way.
The 16 swirling, reaching dancers, who often move as one, included Jeroboam Bozeman, Samantha Figgins, Jacqueline Harris, Ashley Mayeux, Kanji Segawa, Ashley Kaylynn Green, Constance Stamatiou, Brandon Michael Woolridge, Chalvar Monteiro, Caroline T. Dartey, Christopher R. Wilson, Ghrai DeVore-Stokes, Miranda Quinn, Jermaine Terry, Michael Jackson, Jr., and James Gilmer.
Next up was “In/Side,” a heart-wrenching solo brilliantly danced by Yannick Lebrun. It’s about a man desperately in love with someone who may have left him, set to Nina Simone’s dramatic, pleading recording of “Wild is the Wind.”
Next up, and with a terrific change of mood, was “Ella,” set to her recording of “Air Mail Special (Good Enough to Keep),” one of Fitzgerald’s most phenomenal scat-singing and rhythmically breathtaking escapades, and here featuring marvelous dancing by Ghrai DeVore-Stokes along with James Gilmer, Brandon Michael Woolridge and Lloyd A. Boyd III.
In “For Four,” two couples in sharp black and white costumes who move at lightning speed (Renaldo Maurice, Solomon Dumas, Belen Indhira Pereyra and Samantha Higgins) charged onto the stage, moving to “Delfeayo’s Dilemma,” a wildly jazzy piece by Wynton Marsalis. Great fun.
And then, for a total tonal reversal, there was “Unfold,” an exquisite pas de deux, danced with great passion by Jacqueline Green and Jeroboam Bozeman, and set to soprano Leontyne Price’s magnificent recording of “Depuis la Jour,” an aria from the French opera, “Louise,” by Gustave Chapentier.
There was more, too, including a knockout solo performance by the impossibly fleet and precision-tuned Kanji Segawa (in fiery red pants) whose razor-sharp “physical diction” matched the fascinating rhythmic beats of Sheila Chandra’s verbally percussive “Speaking In Tongues II.”
Finally, to bring Battle’s rhythmic smorgasbord to a close was an excerpt from “Love Stories,” set to Stevie Wonder’s irresistible recording of “Fingertips Parts I and II,” and danced with great zest by Jacqueline Harris, Sarah Daley-Perdomo, Courtney Celeste Spears, Caroline T. Dartey, Belen Indira Pereyra, Kanji Segawa, Michael Jackson, Jr., Chalvar Monteiro, Brandon Michael Woolridge and Solomon Dumas. The audience happily followed the song lyrics’ instructions to clap along.
As for Ailey’s “Revelations,” the enduring masterpiece he created in 1960 (just two years after he founded his company), the audience can speak for itself. Those who have watched it countless times almost dance and sing along from their seats, taking delight in its 10 different scenes that draw on spirituals and other Black American music.
From the opening “group prayer” set to “I Been Buked,” to the intense duet, “Fix Me Jesus,” (danced with impressive control by Sarah Daley-Perdermo and Jermaine Terry), to “Sinner Man,” the thrilling male trio (with terrific performances by Jerome Bozeman, James Gilmer and Kanji Segawa), to the fan-flapping grand finale, “Rocka My Soul in the Bosom of Abraham,” there is just nothing quite like this gospel according to Ailey.
Note: The Ailey company will be at the Auditorium through March 6, and will repeat this program of Battle’s works at 8 p.m. Saturday, March 5. It will present its program featuring only works choreographed by Ailey tonight (Thursday, March 3 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, March 5 at 2 p.m.), and a program featuring Rennie Harris’ “Lazarus” (on Friday, March 4 at 7:30p.m. and Sunday, March 6 at 3 p.m.).
As always, “Revelations” will be the final piece on every program. For tickets, visit AuditoriumTheatre.org or call (312) 341-2300.

Stickers is an online pokie from Net Ent that offers up fun gameplay and generous bonuses. Net Entertainment has done a great job of reinventing the classic fruit machine in a way that will be fun and exciting for a more modern gaming audience.
This online pokie puts a new spin on the classic fruit machine. It features classic fruit machine symbols in vibrant colours, and pairs them with innovative and modern gameplay. Stickers is the perfect combination of classic and modern gaming, and Net Entertainment has done a great job of merging the two.
Stickers has a 5-reel and 20-payline format, which offers players the chance to hit plenty of winning combinations easily each time they spin the reels. There is a flexible range of betting options, as players can bet anywhere from 1c to $1 per payline – and then, adjust their bet level between 1 and 10. This makes the minimum bet 20c and the maximum wager $200, so both high rollers ad budget players will have a great time playing Stickers from Net Entertainment.
When three or more symbols appear on the same payline, then generous prizes are awarded. The following top prizes are available from each symbol:
- Strawberry: 400 coins
- Orange: 300 coins
- Kiwi: 200 coins
- Plum: 100 coins
- Ace: 80 coins
- King: 60 coins
- Queen: 40 coins
- Jack: 30 coins
- Ten: 30 coins
Sticky Wilds and Sticky Spins
The spade symbol is the wild, which substitutes for all other symbols in order to create winning combinations – but it also serves and additional bonus purpose. As well as being a substitution symbol, the wild is also sticky. If a wild appears on a non-winning spin, it will remain in place while the rest of the reels spin. If another wild lands on the reels, then another Sticky Spin is awarded.
This continues until a winning combination is awarded. So, there are plenty of opportunities for players to hit generous winning combinations, thanks to this one small bonus feature.
Other Bonus Features
Unfortunately, there are no other bonus features in Net Entertainment’s Stickers online pokie. While some players may miss the addition of a Free Spins round or a pick-a-prize bonus – but there is still plenty of opportunities for players to win big. In fact, the Sticky Wilds are so generous and triggered so frequently, that they will not even notice that there isn’t an off-screen bonus in Stickers.

Today Is A Good Day. Pass It On.
I like this:
and here are twenty-one other things I remembered that I like today:
fat gophers that whistle at you,
the scars on my stomach,
crazy street people who think Canadian dollar coins are gold doubloons,
little boxes that are too small to hold much of anything,
pumpkins, both for their colour and the sound of the word,
the obsessive colliding of a donut and the name Warren in my head,
the word troglodyte,
handwritten letters in the mail,
the smell of the inside of old, oak liquor barrels when you saw them in half,
dust on cats who are blinking into the sun,
that the Road Runner, the cartoon character, is such a bizarre interpretation of the real bird,
saying scads and feeling like I should be wearing red lipstick and a little hat in the 1940s,
and Five Star Friday.


CLIENT NEWS: telecommuting article
Client featured in an article about telecommuting in The Journal News today. An accompanying video features input from several members of the space discussed why they chose coworking.
Telecommuting has received much attention recently as Yahoo’s incoming CEO called for an end to that company’s generous telecommuting policy while other businesses continue to stand by the benefits of giving their employees the option to telecommute on occasion. A sudden change in such policies can lead to unexpected employee strife, especially where some of them relied on telecommuting to balance professional duties against responsibilities at home.
Contact Zak Shusterman for advice on your company’s telecommuting policies and to facilitate contracting with coworking space providers for your telecommuting workforce.

The rapper was apparently selling headphones of similar design under the `50-Over` line with another manufacturer.

It is difficult for me to get too worked up
about a new polymer-framed auto pistol. Unlike an old Colt
Single Action Army, S&W N-frame, or Ruger Flattop, plastic
pistols do not stir my soul. To me they have no warmth, no
charm, nor any character. Plastic pistols are tools. They
serve a purpose to be sure. That is; they exist to protect their
owners from harm. Plastic pistols are generally used as
defensive pieces. They can be found in about ninety percent of
the police holsters in the United States. They also serve with
various military units around the world. They are also quite
popular with individuals who carry a handgun for self defense.
Glock introduced the first successful plastic-framed pistol over
twenty years ago, and it is still the most popular by a large
margin. That is not to say that other makes are not good pistols
as well. Several manufacturers have excellent polymer pistols on
the market, but none have been anything like as popular as the
Glock with law enforcement or the public. Much of this could be
attributed to marketing, as Glock has aggressively marketed
their pistols in the United States, with great success. However,
this article is not about the Glock, it is about Smith &
Wessonís newest entry into the polymer-framed service pistol
market. Still, comparisons are inevitable, and the new Smith
will most definitely be compared to the Glock whenever it is
considered by any police agency in this country.
I first heard of the new Smith & Wesson
M&P (Military & Police) a few months ago, and have been
waiting somewhat patiently ever since for the guns to go into
production. I first fired one at the writerís gathering the
day before the 2006 SHOT Show back in February, and was
impressed by the weapon. About a week later, I received a
production gun chambered for the .40 S&W cartridge, which is
the test piece reviewed here.
The new S&W pistol differs from their
earlier efforts in several ways. While their Sigma and
SW99 pistols were good guns, the M&P is better in every way.
Smith & Wesson apparently looked at every part of
their other polymer pistols, and also those of their
competition, and sought to improve each feature. Little details
make a big difference when comparing pistols. S&W went to
great effort to assure that their new M&P pistol actually
fitís the human hand. Someone in Springfield,
Massachusetts also recognizes that the human hand is not a
one-size-fits-all- proposition. While sales to individual
shooters will always be a big part of the pistol market, it is
readily apparent by just the name of the new Military &
Police pistol that S&W intends to take a larger share of the
law enforcement market with this new weapon. They realize that
law enforcement officers come in all shapes and sizes, with
usually proportional hand sizes as well. The M&P was made to
fit the hand. It is a good thing that most pistol manufacturers
do not make boots, or we would all be forced to cram our feet
into a size 10D, and make do the best we can. The M&P
grip is easily adjustable to fit different sized hands. What a
concept! Smith & Wesson first introduced this idea
with their SW99 pistols, but have perfected it with the M&P.
The pistol comes with three different size grip backstraps,
which not only alter the size of the grip from front to
back, but provide different sized palm swells as well. One can
also shoot the M&P with no backstrap installed, effectively
giving a choice of four different grip sizes in all. I shot the
M&P without a backstrap installed, and it did just fine.
However, I find the "medium" sized one to feel best in
my hand. You may prefer the small or large. The pistol
comes with all three.
Another nice feature of the M&P is the
takedown system. It is very similar to the SIG, being a rotating
lever on the left side of the frame. Before the slide can be
removed, a little yellow lever inside the magazine well must be
pushed downward, similar to the Ruger P-series. Doing this
disconnects the sear, and forces the shooter to retract the
slide before disassembly, emptying the chamber. The sample gun
also has a magazine disconnect safety, but some models intended
for police or military sales will not have this feature. Also
optional on the M&P is an internal key lock system. The test
gun did not have this feature, but it will be available to those
who desire such a device, or where required by law.
The sights on the test gun were of the familiar
three-dot pattern, and tritium night sights will be offered as
well. Both the front and rear sights are dove-tailed into the
slide, and are easily drifted to adjust for windage correction.
The M&P comes supplied with two steel
magazines, which hold fifteen rounds each in .40 S&W and
.357 SIG calibers. The soon-to-come 9mm is reported to hold
seventeen rounds. Add one round to these for total capacities of
sixteen and eighteen, respectively. The magazines drop free when
the magazine release is pressed. The magazine release is easily
switched for either right or left hand operation. I shoot
left-handed, but prefer to operate the release with my trigger
finger, which right-handed shooters might want to give a try. I
find that it works much better than using the thumb. The frame
of the M&P is also fitted with a slide release lever on each
side, which is a bit stiff to operate, but works well.
The trigger guard on the M&P has ample room
for a gloved finger to operate the trigger, which is of the
Smith & Wesson articulated variety. The trigger pull on the
test gun released at six pounds, five and one-half ounces, and
was very smooth to operate, much like a short-stroke double
action pull. The trigger must be reset by the slide after each
pull, hence the weapon has no double-strike capability, which is
touted by some to be desirable in the event of a bad primer.
However, I always prefer to get the dud cartridge out of the
weapon, chambering a fresh round instead of wasting time trying
to repeatedly get a bad round to fire.
Like most polymer framed autos, the M&P has
an accessory rail at the front of the frame for those who like
to attach flashlights and such to their weapons. The front
of the slide is contoured for easy re-holstering, and the rear
of the slide is scalloped for a secure grip when retracting it
to chamber or eject a cartridge. The barrel and slide are of
stainless steel, with a durable black finish.
Inside the frame of the M&P is a forward and
rear steel block which contains the fire control mechanism, and
also serves as the guides upon which the slide reciprocates. The
slide only contacts the frame at four points, instead of the
full-length rails on most pistols. This makes for a very good
self-cleaning rail system, leaving plenty of room for any dirt,
grit, or sand to fall out of the weapon instead of binding the
slide. Good idea. The recoil spring is of the captive design,
and contains a stainless steel guide rod, which should be much
more reliable than the plastic rods used by some other pistols.
The barrel locks up securely in the slide, and the chamber
supports the cartridge case head adequately to prevent a
blowout. The rear of the chamber also has a witness hole,
so that the shooter can visually confirm that a cartridge is
chambered. The M&P .40 S&W pistol weighed in at one
pound and eleven and one-half ounces with an empty magazine.
Back to the ergonomics of the pistol, the trigger reach measured
2.640 inches on the sample gun, which is about one-quarter of an
inch less than a Glock of like caliber. Again, I am comparing it
to the Glock, but that is inevitable, so we might as well do so
Shooting the M&P was a real pleasure. While
.40 S&W recoil is not bothersome, it does make some guns
jump a bit in the hand. The M&P sits low in the hand, and
the recoil is straight back. All shooting was done using Cor-Bon
high performance ammunition. I found the M&P to be the most
comfortable and controllable .40 that I have ever fired.
I fired five different Cor-Bon loads out of the
M&Pís four and one-quarter inch barrel, with the
chronograph results listed below. All testing was done with the
screens of the PACT chronograph twelve feet from the muzzle, and
an air temperature around seventy degrees. All velocities
are listed in feet-per-second. JHP is jacketed hollowpoint. DPX
is a Barnes solid copper hollowpoint X bullet. PowRBall is a
specialty load consisting of a jacketed hollowpoint with a
plastic ball in the cavity.
|Cor-Bon 165 grain JHP
|Cor-Bon 135 grain PowRBall
|Cor-Bon 135 grain JHP
|Cor-Bon 140 grain DPX
|Cor-Bon 150 grain JHP
Any of these loads should work very well for
social situations. Recoil was very controllable in the M&P,
and accuracy ran in the two to three inch range at twenty five
yards, depending upon the load. More importantly, it was very
easy to keep a magazine full of bullets in the kill zone of a
full-sized human silhouette target firing rapid fire at
twenty-five yards from a standing position. The M&P
was one hundred percent reliable with all loads tested. It fed,
fired, and ejected perfectly, every time.
Now comes the time to draw conclusions, as I
will certainly get email, and lots of it, asking me to compare
the M&P with other weapons, particularly the Glock, as it
currently holds the top spot in the polymer-framed service
pistol field. I like the Glock, and carry one often. However,
comparing the two, the S&W feels better to my hand. It
points better for me. I like its trigger function better. I like
the roomy trigger guard, and the shorter reach to the trigger. I
do not like a magazine safety on an auto pistol, but can live
with it. I do like the steel M&P magazines better. I like
the recoil feel of the M&P better than the Glock. I find the
M&P easier to control and shoot accurately during rapid
fire. I like the sights of the M&P better than the Glock.
Both weapons are priced comparably. Neither weapon will inspire
one to seek out custom engraving and gold decoration. Both are
built for business. Both are tools which do their job well.
However, above all else, the S&W just feels better in my
hand, whether during shooting, or just holding the weapon.
I like my Glock 19. I liked the feel of the 19,
until I tried the S&W. Compared, the Glock just feels
blockier to me now. The S&W feels like it fits. You might
think differently, but I believe that most shooters will find
the S&W to fit the hand better than the Glock. I own stock
in neither Glock nor Smith & Wesson, and am within the
coveted gun writerís inner circle with neither company. I have
carried my Glock 19 for many years, and will continue to do so,
at least until the M&P is available in 9mm. I realize that
it is unfashionable for gun writers to like the 9mm cartridge. I
am supposed to prefer the .40 caliber, and proclaim the nine to
be next to useless. Well it just ainít so. With good ammo, the
9mm is a dandy defensive pistol cartridge in capable hands, and
when I can get a S&W M&P chambered for the 9mm with
tritium night sights, I might have a Glock 19 for sale. I will
just have to wait and see.

Wesson products online at: www.smith-wesson.com.

How TTI Prepared Octorara Area School District for the Future of Education
No one knows what the future of education holds — but upgrading to WiFi 6 can help school districts be prepared for whatever comes next.
The world is changing fast — especially when it comes to technology. In order for the next generation of students to be able to keep up, schools need to prepare them for the increasingly tech-focused workforce they will be entering after they graduate.
We at Turn-key Technologies, Inc. (TTI) understand that children are our future. We believe that to give them the best possible leg up, we need to make sure their classrooms are prepared for the most advanced technologies possible. That’s why we’re proud to be partnering with educational institutions like the Octorara Area School District in Pennsylvania to implement the best of what network technology has to offer. With the help of Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, TTI is bringing WiFi 6 (802.11ax) to schools on the cutting-edge of progress.
How Schools Can Benefit From WiFi 6
WiFi 6 represents the newest generation of wireless network technology. As schools begin to see more WiFi-enabled devices incorporated into curricula, they will need stronger networks. Compared to WiFi 5, WiFi 6 networks will boost capacity, increase connectivity, and provide faster speeds — while also reducing energy consumption and costs. Altogether, updating to WiFi 6 is a great choice for schools looking to integrate technology into their classrooms.
The challenge with implementing WiFi 6 technology is that it can be difficult to overhaul existing wireless — especially when attempting to avoid downtime while school is in session. Luckily, schools that are working with TTI to bring Aruba’s WiFi 6 access points into their institutions are finding the process to be simple. TTI’s partnership with the Octorara Area School District highlights how schools can usher in the future of education.
Implementing a 1:1 Device Policy
The four schools in the Octorara Area School District have employed a 1:1 student-device initiative in which each student receives an iPad or Chromebook to be utilized for educational purposes. This allows teachers to use a “bring-your-own-device” policy to plan tech-enabled lessons in their classrooms. This is an exciting, progressive strategy that has been shown to positively impact student learning.
The 1:1 program boosts students’ 21st century skills to prepare them for an increasingly digital world. But not only does it improve technology fluency, it has also been shown to enhance students’ academic achievement in general — resulting in a statistically significant impact on students’ test scores in math, science, and writing. 1:1 also increases student engagement in the classroom, increases project-based and student-centered instruction, and helps build stronger relationships between teachers and students. Overall, it gives students a greater sense of ownership and personalization in their education, which can increase their excitement about learning.
A Trusted Partner for Next Generation Capabilities
For the Octorara Area School District, the benefits of WiFi 6 in supporting their 1:1 program were clear. Though district leaders were excited about the prospect of next generation educational policies, they understood that 1:1 required a serious investment on behalf of the district. To ensure their investments were in good hands, Octorara’s leaders turned to TTI to help them deploy Aruba’s new WiFi 6 APs.
Robert Czetli, director of IT for Octorara Area School District, knew it was the perfect time for Octorara to move to WiFi 6. “We had an opportunity to capitalize on eRate and district funding to future-proof our network with the latest technology on the market and to be amongst the first globally to do so,” he said. “My goals as a technology leader aligned perfectly with those of our Superintendent’s to provide our staff and students the chance to push and explore educational possibilities without limitations. While no one can really predict how our classroom needs might change, deploying the Aruba Wi-Fi 6 APs gives us the confidence that we can meet these challenges.”
In order to keep up with the rapidly changing education landscape, schools need to ensure that they have the best possible WiFi. To support that WiFi, they will need the best possible hardware. With nearly thirty years of experience deploying the latest network solutions in educational institutes, our experts can help prepare your school for the future. Whether your school is ready to make the move or simply beginning to consider a 1:1 initiative, the award-winning engineers at TTI can support your journey to provide your students with the best of what technology has to offer.
