A cloud-framed full moon, distant lights from a school parking lot and a nearby street provided the only illumination when David Simoneaux addressed his Catholic High of Pointe Coupee team Monday. The Hornets had completed one of their final football practices of the year. Other than Simoneaux’s voice and sound of gravel being pushed by a truck passing through the parking lot, it was quiet. The silence and the varying shades of light offer a tempered backdrop for the 35-year-old coach who is balancing unparalleled professional and personal joy, along with profound loss. “Mom used to write us letters, both before and after she got sick. Those letters were windows into her soul. She would always just pour her heart out to me and my sister,” Simoneaux said. “There was never a doubt about what she felt or who she was. She would lay it out there … tell us not only how she felt about us, but also what she expected of us. “I could dwell on how sad I am that I don’t have my mom … [Read more...] about ‘Mom will be watching’: A tough year for David Simoneaux could end with historic Pointe Coupee win

There is an old-school simplicity to the offensive attack that Catholic-Pointe Coupee employs — but what it lacks in fancy, it more than makes up for in effectiveness. With the Hornets' Wing-T offense holding onto the football for nearly 29 minutes Friday night, Catholic-PC proved to be too much for Southern Lab to handle, and the Hornets defeated the Kittens 21-8 in a Division IV semifinal game at A.W. Mumford Stadium. Seventh-seeded Catholic-PC (11-2) took a 21-0 lead late in the third quarter after Chayse Buriege returned a fumble 75 yards for a touchdown. Southern Lab (8-4) came in as the No. 6 seed but managed just eight first downs and didn’t have the firepower to recover. “I’m the head coach and I take responsibility for not having my team ready to play,” Lab coach Darrell Asberry said. “We came out flat, and it's my responsibility to see that doesn’t happen.” Catholic-PC advances to the Division IV championship, where it will face No. 5 Ouachita Christian, a 56-41 … [Read more...] about Catholic-Pointe Coupee’s ball control offense too much for Southern Lab

Source: Oculus What you need to know Apple continues to work on a headset of some sort, with a new patent related to exactly that. The patent suggests external location markers might not be needed. This seems to be mainly used to detect when a headset is being worn or taking off. Apple appears to still be working on some form of AR/VR headset based on a new patent spotted by Apple Insider . The patent, carrying US Patent No. 10,557,724 , could allow the headset to recognize when it is being worn or taken off. "[It] may be beneficial for the VR headset to be able to detect when a head-worn device (e.g., headset, eyeglasses, headphones, etc.) is being removed from the user's head, is being placed on the user's head, or both," according to the patent. Most current headsets of this ilk are not able to detect when they are, or are not, being worn. Apple seems of the opinion that such a feature would be helpful in multiple ways, not least the fact that the … [Read more...] about New Apple AR/VR headset patent suggests it might not need an external reference point for location data
