Is George Clooney the most generous friend ever? George's business partner Rande Gerber recently revealed that back in 2013, George gifted 14 of his closest friends $1 million each. Gerber told MSNBC's Headliners that George invited "the boys" round for dinner and left designer luggage at each place setting. On opening the bags, each friend found $1 million in $20 bills. Gerber (with whom George launched Casamigos Tequila) attempted to refuse the gift, but George argued that if Rande didn't accept the money, nobody would get it.
Gerber explained that at the time, some of their friends were going through difficult times, struggling to make ends meet. George made the gesture as a thank you for the help each of the friends had given him in the past when he was in a similar position, saying: "I want you guys to know how much you've meant to me and how much you mean to me in my life. I came to L.A., I slept on your couch. I'm so fortunate in my life to have all of you and I couldn't be where I am today without all of you."
George and his wife Amal, who is a human rights attorney, are known for their generosity and philanthropy. They have made many generous donations to charities and worthy causes, and take every opportunity to speak out about causes that are important to them. Earlier this year, it was revealed that they took in an refugee from Iraq, who is now attending the University of Chicago.
I am pleased that Democrats in Congress have come to their senses and are now willing to fund our great military, border patrol, first responders, and insurance for vulnerable children. As I have always said, once the Government is funded, my Administration will work toward solving the problem of very unfair illegal immigration. We will make a long-term deal on immigration if, and only if, it is good for our country.

At long last, Osi Umenyiora has a new contract.
The New York Giants announced this afternoon that the veteran defensive end has agreed to a restructured contract that should end more than a year of discontent. The terms of the new deal were not revealed by the club.
Umenyiora has not participated in the team’s voluntary offseason workout program to date. Now, he will show up with a smile on his face. Recently, Umenyiora parted ways with his agent Tony Agnone. It is unknown if Agnone played a role in brokering this new deal. He was entering the final year of his contract and was due to earn $3.925 million this season.
We’ll find out soon if the Giants have added years to the deal.
“I’m just happy, I’m happy all that’s over with,” Umenyiora said. “It’s time to get back to work. It was definitely frustrating (not being on the field this spring), but hearing some of the things they said, whether it was Kiwi or (Justin) Tuck or JPP (Jason Pierre-Paul) or Antrel (Rolle) – hearing the way they supported me, it made me want to come back even more and be around them. Those guys really stepped up for me. I really appreciate it and I’m happy to be here with them.
Can India achieve double digit growth?
From being touted as an economic superpower, India has now become a slowcoach that's losing steam. On this panel discussion at the World Economic Forum in India, NDTV's Shweta Rajpal Kohli talks to Gita Gopinath, Professor of Economics, Harvard University, Zia Mody, Senior Partner, AZB & Partners and Sanjiv Bajaj, MD, Bajaj Finserv, on whether India can achieve double digit growth anytime soon?
CHEYENNE — The Senate suspended its rules Wednesday and filed four new spending bills as it and the House try to bridge about a $70 million difference in their two proposed budgets.
Senate leadership described it as an effort to ensure the state funds critical needs, including education, in case an agreement can't be reached between the two chambers.
But the move to introduce spending bills after the filing deadline has passed, and in the midst of budget negotiations, could be read as the Senate trying to force the House's hand. Currently, the House's budget, including the external cost adjustment for schools, is about $70 million higher than the Senate.
One of the four bills, Senate File 166, is the appropriation authorization for the other three bills. Those bills would allocate money toward the external cost adjustment for education funding, money for commercial air service, the Department of Health and the Department of Family Services.
Senate President Drew Perkins, R-Casper, said the four bills weren't an indication the Senate and House weren't going to be able to reach an agreement on the state budget. Instead, it was merely a precaution to ensure that no matter what happened in negotiations, the critical needs of the state were going to be financed.
"If the Senate and House can't come to an agreement on the budget bill, then those (bills) provide a method to take care of a few items that we can't leave Cheyenne without resolving," Perkins said. "It was just coming down and trying to say if we can't come to an agreement on the budget, we've got to have a way to make sure that there's a few things that just have to happen or the state will really be hurt."
Sens. Eli Bebout, R-Riverton, and Mike Gierau, D-Jackson, are sponsors on all four bills, and both said the move is about making sure the critical needs identified in the supplemental budget would be funded. Both said they thought the negotiations between the House and Senate would end up without a resolution.
A big portion of the $70 million difference is in education funding. The House increased the external cost adjustment for schools, which helps defray the effect of inflation on the education budget formula, by about $21 million over what was included by the JAC. The Senate cut down its external cost adjustment formula, which resulted in about $9 million less.
Perkins reiterated a point he made last week that supplemental budgets are for emergencies or unforeseen needs. The Legislature passed a two-year budget last year, and the items he and his colleagues pulled out for separate bills Wednesday are the critical items that need to be addressed.
But Perkins said he still believed the two chambers would eventually reach agreement.
"I think we'll work this out. I really do. It's part of the process," Perkins said. "But at the end of the day, if we can't come to terms, there are four things that just have to get done this session with respect to the budget. But I have every faith and confidence that our conference committees will work together, and Speaker Harshman and I will help where needed and we'll get to a resolution."
Speaker of the House Steve Harshman, R-Casper, said he didn't want to guess at any message the Senate might be communicating by passing new budget bills this late in the process. He emphasized his belief that a compromise was within reach and didn't think the new bills would make it far in the Senate.
Harshman said that if the bills did make it out of the Senate and to the House, he wouldn't suspend rules in his chamber for them to have a chance at a hearing after deadline.
The U.S. government knew of an imminent plot to oust Venezuela's leftist president, Hugo Chavez, in the weeks before a 2002 military coup that briefly unseated him, newly released CIA documents show, despite White House claims to the contrary a week after the putsch.
Yet the United States, which depends on Venezuela for nearly one-sixth of its oil, never warned the Chavez government, Venezuelan officials said.
The Bush administration has denied it was involved in the coup or knew one was being planned. At a White House briefing on April 17, 2002, just days after the 47-hour coup, a senior administration official who did not want to be named said, "The United States did not know that there was going to be an attempt of this kind to overthrow -- or to get Chavez out of power."
Yet, based on the newly released CIA briefs, an analyst said Wednesday that did not appear to be the case.
"This is substantive evidence that the CIA knew in advance about the coup, and it is clear that this intelligence was distributed to dozens of members of the Bush administration, giving them knowledge of coup plotting," said Peter Kornbluh, a senior analyst at the National Security Archive in Washington, D.C.
However, he said that while the documents show U.S. officials knew a coup was coming, they do not constitute definitive proof the United States was involved in ousting Chavez. That is partly because the briefs are from the intelligence side of the CIA, not the operational side.
A CIA spokeswoman contended the agency played no role in the coup and was merely collecting information about political events in Venezuela for top U.S. officials. She said it was up to those officials and not the CIA to determine what to do with the data.
"The CIA was simply doing what it is we do, in terms of analyzing events and providing policy-makers with our best estimate of the events as they unfold," said the spokeswoman. She added that alerting Chavez to the impending coup "would suggest we would meddle in the affairs of another nation."
White House and National Security Council officials had no immediate comment.
PARIS (AFP) - French Muslim groups called for calm and respect for freedom of opinion on Tuesday ahead of the release of the new issue of Charlie Hebdo magazine which features a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad.
The French Council of the Muslim Religion and the Union of French Islamic Organisations released a joint statement calling for the Muslim community to "stay calm and avoid emotive reactions that are incompatible with its dignity... while respecting freedom of opinion."
The new issue of Charlie Hebdo is to be published on Wednesday, a week after two Islamic militant gunmen stormed the Paris offices of the satirical magazine, killing 12 people.
Its cover features the Prophet with a tear in his eye, holding a "Je Suis Charlie" (I am Charlie) under the headline "All is forgiven".
Depictions of Muhammad are seen by many Muslims as sacrilegious and Charlie Hebdo became a target for extremists after repeatedly printing cartoons of the Prophet.
Some people have said that, while they support free speech, they are "not Charlie" because they feel the magazine stigmatises Muslims.
The Arab World Institute in Paris has, however, come out in full support of the solidarity campaign.
Giant red letters proclaiming "We are all Charlie" in Arabic and French have been hung on the facade of the cultural institute, which was co-founded by France and 18 Arab states, including Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Yemen.
Check out this 736 horsepower Volkswagen Golf. Yes, most traditional muscle cars are rear-wheel drive instead of front-wheel drive. What is the difference? Of course there is an issue when the front wheels are used for both steering and power. But there is something else - traction.
The best way to look at frictional forces on the tires for a car is to consider fake forces. Trust me that this is the best way to go. But what is a fake force? First, what is a "real" force. Real forces are interactions between two objects. Some examples are friction, gravity and the normal force (the force between two surfaces pushing on each other). With real forces, we can say the total force on some object is equal to the time rate of change of momentum. Of course this force-momentum relationship only works in an inertial reference frame (one that is not accelerating).
A fake force is a force that we need to add to an object that is in an accelerating frame of reference so that we can once again use the force-momentum relationship (also called the momentum principle). People like to use fake forces all the time. When you are in a car and you turn to the left, it feels like there is a force pushing you to the right. Or when you are in a car speeding up, it feels like there is a force pushing you back into the seat. These are both fake forces but they feel real. Well, the truth is that according to Einstein's equivalence principle, we can't tell the difference between gravitational forces and fake forces from acceleration.
Yes, the fake force is a vector. Don't forget about that.
If we are looking at an accelerating car in the frame of the car, then it is at equilibrium. I know that seems weird, but frames of reference can be weird. For an object in equilibrium, two things must be true. The net force (vector force) must be zero (vector) and the net torque about any point must also be zero (technically also a vector).
A couple of important points about torque. You can pick any point about which to calculate the torque. The r is a distance from the point that the force is applied to torque point and θ is the angle between r and the force.
The less than or equal sign is there because the frictional force is whatever it has to be to make the two surfaces not slide relative to each other. Of course there is some maximum static frictional force - that's what the equal part is for.
What force makes the car accelerate? The frictional force from the front wheels (since it is a front wheel drive car). Here is a diagram of the forces on the car including the fake force.
This might look complicated, but it's not too bad. Let me just point out a few things. The location of the force matters. For both the gravitational force and the fake force, they are not contact forces so they don't act at one point. We can pretend like it acts at one point called the center of mass. Here is a post where I show how to calculate this center of mass, but for this post I just picked a reasonable looking location. I'm not completely certain, but I think the "center of fake force" would be at the same location as the center for gravity. The other point is the forces on the tires. I labeled the force on the front tire as N1 and the rear as N2.
Now what about the forces? Remember that in this frame, the total vector force is the zero vector. I can write this as the following two equations.
Just from these two equations, we know that the sum of the two normal forces has to equal the total weight of the car. However, we don't know how much goes to the front and how much goes to the rear wheels. Looking at the horizontal forces, we can see that the maximum frictional force depends on the normal force on the front wheels.
b = the distance from the back wheel to the front wheel.
s = the horizontal distance from the rear wheel to the center of mass.
h = the vertical distance from the ground to the center of mass.
Now I can use two things. The definition of friction force (coefficient times the normal force) and the fake force is mass times acceleration. From this, I can solve for the maximum acceleration.
How can you get the highest acceleration? Well, you could increase the gravitational field (g) - but let's assume that we stay on the same planet. The other two things you could do would be to lower the center of mass (h) and/or move the center of mass closer to the front wheel.
If the acceleration is too high, the torque from the fake force alone would be greater than the torque from gravity. This would cause the car to do a "wheelie" where the front tire isn't in contact with the ground. No contact means no frictional force and no acceleration.
What if you had a rear-wheel drive car? If you wanted to look at a similar calculation, everything would look the same except for the torque equation. You wouldn't want to calculate torque around the back wheel because the normal force on the back wheel wouldn't be in the equation. You would find that with increased acceleration, there is an increased normal force on the rear wheels.
There is one other very similar situation. What about braking? All you would need to do is to change the direction of the fake force. In this case, a braking acceleration increases the normal force on the front wheels. This is why you need to change your front brake pads more often than your rear brake pads.

Most people know Studio Arts as either a bus route that takes one to Walmart or a far-off University of Iowa building unique in that it once was a Menards. But on Friday, Studio Arts will be transformed into an art extravaganza known as ArtsFest.
ArtsFest, put on by the UI School of Art and Art History, will be held from 4 to 7 p.m.
UI senior Rachel Winter, the 2015 ArtsFest coordinator, planned an event that combines numerous art forms.
Winter said the Drewelowe exhibit is the feature she looks forward to the most. The exhibit examines the past, present, and future of the UI art school — including its road to a new art studio building after the original was destroyed in the 2008 flood.
ArtsFest, during its three hours, will have numerous events for the attendees as well as exhibits.
Both Farlow and Winter said the event is not only open to the UI community but to the larger Iowa City community.
A cyclist was seriously injured in a collision with a car near to a Barnsley primary school this morning.
The man, in his 40s, was involved in a crash with a silver Volkswagen on Cemetery Road, Jump, just before 7.05am this morning.
Jump Primary School on neighbouring Roebuck HiIl, sent a text message to parents advising them of the collision and a partial road closure while emergency services dealt with the incident.
The cyclist was taken to hospital with suspected serious injuries.
The crash scene has since been reopened.
The decision is a victory for privacy advocates.
Worried about law enforcement following your digital footsteps? Now you'll be able to shout, "Get a warrant!"
The Supreme Court ruled Friday in a 5-4 decision that police need warrants in order to gather phone location data as evidence, CNET reports.
The case dates back to 2011, when police investigating a robbery case culled months and months of location data from a suspect's phone provider—12,898 locations in total, all without a warrant.
While the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that phone data wasn't protected under the fourth amendment, the Supreme Court disagreed.
"The government's position fails to contend with the seismic shifts in digital technology that made possible the tracking of not only Carpenter's location but also everyone else's, not for a short period but for years and years," wrote Chief Justice John Roberts in the ruling.
The decision did not apply to things like security cameras and business records, however. It's likely that similar quandaries surrounding privacy and digital surveillance will crop up soon. Police departments around the county are beginning to deploy drones for reconnaissance and AI technology that can locate and scan human faces.
Reactions to the ruling from notable privacy advocates were enthusiastic.
Personal trainer Julian Bynoe is pictured in Ipswich for his new column.
Why wait until the New Year to get fit. If you want to improve your health and get the motivation to stick to a fitness regime our new weekly fitness columnist Julian Bynoe can help.
Hi, and welcome to my new column. My name is Julian Bynoe and I am a personal trainer. In the coming weeks my aim will be to help encourage you to lead a more active, healthier lifestyle by offering you some practical advice on fitness and nutrition. So if you have been waiting for a sign to commence your training, this is it!
We’ve all tried at least one diet or exercise regime that didn’t quite work for us for one reason or another and in an ideal world we’d all like to have more time to exercise and look after ourselves better. The festive season is hectic for most of us and trying to stick to a healthy diet as well as exercise is tricky at best. The reality of it is our busy lives often get in the way of us achieving our physical goals. So before you embark on a crazy new years diet and rush to sign up at the gym follow my column over the coming weeks and I’ll be giving you some fresh ideas and advice on how to become more active and improve you own fitness and well being.
When starting any new plan I find it is best to try and work out exactly how much time you can commit each week to exercise. If you only have a couple of hours to spare I would recommend breaking this down into 20 minute or 30 minute windows to spread evenly throughout your week as opposed to a long two-hour slog in the gym. Encourage friends and family to join you in anything from a power walk to a game of quick cricket on the park, and remember ENJOY IT!
