Read More »Archer recap: Season 12, Episode 4
ArcherImage: FX On paper, tonight’s installment of Archer is a pretty wild mish-mash mess of discordant concepts: Gorillas? Skynet air conditioners? Internships?! And yet, blissfully, it all works—at least in part because Asha Michelle Wilson’s script doesn’t attempt to smash the three concepts together in any sort of ham-fisted way. Krieger (a.k.a. “Dr. God”) accidentally creating a murderous climate control system after being asked to implement environmentally friendly office thermostats is funny. Cheryl being in charge of a hapless intern is funny. Archer falling madly in love with an adorable animal—in this case, a gorilla the Agency is helping the U.N. transport back to its endangered family—is (always, always, always) funny. Each of these ideas is allowed to… Source link

FAIRFAX, Va., Sept. 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Information Analysis Incorporated (OTCQB: IAIC) (“IAI”) today announced that the modernization of the Fiscal Transfer Agent (“FTA”) of the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) 7(a) Loan Program and Secondary Market project on which IAI has been a critical team member for over a year has begun operating. The newly modernized system will allow the FTA program through its partners to better perform loan servicing, technology modernization, and financial services for SBA’s loan programs, which have grown to over 7,500 lenders and nearly one trillion in assets. The 7(a) loan program grew substantially during this modernization process as the Paycheck Protection Program and its constantly-evolving guidance is… Source link

The Texans have one more preseason game Saturday against Tampa Bay before they host Jacksonville in the first game of the regular season. I’m looking forward to the season, not because I think the Texans will be good but because they have so many new players and coaches, and I want to see how this team develops. The Chronicle’s Texans/NFL preview section comes out next week. I’m doing a story on the plan that’s being carried out by general manager Nick Caserio and coach David Culley, why they went with so many veterans rather than a lot of rookies. I hope you find it interesting as well as our stories in our annual football section, including predictions. I can’t wait to see if The King picks the Texans to win the Super Bowl again. On a side note,… Source link

With Andrei Svechnikov finally re-signed to a long-term deal, there’s only one unchecked box left on the Carolina Hurricanes’ offseason to-do list. There’s still a hole on the depth chart for one more skilled winger and about $4.5 million in cap space left to fill it. With a month to go before the first preseason game, it’s really a question of whether the Hurricanes want to spend that money now or preserve that flexibility to load up at the trade deadline. The most important skilled winger on the roster is Svechnikov, coming off a disappointing third season with the contract negotiations hanging over his head but at 21 still just scratching the surface of his extraordinary talent….

The target chamber at the National Ignition Facility of the Lawrence Livermore Lab is “where the magic happens,” these scientists said. Image via Jason Laurea/Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The ability to harness fusion – the energy source of our sun and all stars – would be a game-changer for earthly power generation. Scientists have been seeking this holy grail of energy research for a century. On August 8, 2021, researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in California said they’ve made breakthroughs that place them at the threshold of fusion ignition. Their experiment focused laser light from LLNL’s National Ignition Facility – the size of three football fields – onto a target the size of a BB. The experiment produced a hotspot the… Source link

ArcherImage: FX “Identity Crisis,” season 12, episode 1 Archer is old. It’s not a novel observation. As an animated sitcom, the series has been on the air (on FX, and then FXX) for 12 years now, suffering right alongside its title character as he’s gotten shot, stabbed, en-coma-fied, etc. across a decade-plus of adventures. Over that period, the series has flirted, maybe more than any other show of its era, with trying to find some radical new direction for itself, whether via the three-season genre jaunt heralded by that aforementioned coma—an effort that often veered wildly between “stunt,” and a genuine effort to expand the series’ storytelling—or slightly more subtle shifts, like the “Well, we’re all coke dealers living in a mansion together now” action of… Source link

It was love at first sight for me. Over 30 years ago, I made my first visit to Summit County and knew I had found my nirvana. At that time, I was slowly grinding my way up in a corporation and had neither the time nor capital to invest in a place of my own in Colorado. But I knew it was just a matter of time. I spent years bringing my family to the mountains over Christmas and spring break periods, surrounded by the throngs of other visitors. I learned how to ski and eventually tried playing golf at altitude, and I was hooked on mountain living. For several years, I relied on my Denver friends who had friends in the mountains willing to loan out their condos during ski season. I learned that if you were in Denver, you probably had a contact or two to give you a free… Source link
