Everyone – and not just the City hierarchy – will watch how Reid comes through his recovery. Put simply, will a player whose blistering pace with the ball at his feet is his trademark be able to hit that same velocity once fully recovered?
Cruciate injuries are no longer the career-enders of the recent past – just ask Matthew Bates, who has come back from five knee operations – but will it be the same lightning-quick Reid as before?
Omar Daley’s top speed had dipped when he recovered from the injury that derailed Stuart McCall’s promotion bid five years ago. Will next season’s Kyel Reid offer the same slight of foot as the current model?
Calls to offer Reid another deal regardless are well intentioned. In an ideal world, that would be the next step to provide a timely boost at his lowest ebb.
But in the cold business world of football, that won’t happen. He will have to prove his fitness first to any future employer, whether that is in West Yorkshire or somewhere nearer his London roots.
So we could well have seen the last of Reid in a City jersey; the last image of a player who has brought so much joy to the club’s followers being that of a distressed figure covering his face as he is carried away to generous applause from all four sides of Sheffield United’s ground.
An example of why footballers have to make the most of every moment, because you don’t know what is around the corner.
Berkeley Software Design will soon provide protection from so-called SYN-flood attacks after weeks of shutdowns caused by such assaults.
Berkeley Software Design will soon provide protection from so-called SYN-flood attacks after weeks of shutdowns caused by a rash of assaults.
The fix, which is free, doesn't stop the "denial of service" attacks but renders them impotent, said Doug Urner, a systems Engineer for Berkeley Software Design.
In the past few weeks, hackers have been attacking a few select Internet sites, such those operated by as The Internet Chess Club and New York Internet service provider Panix.com, virtually shutting them down.
The attacks have alarmed systems providers worldwide. The tactic is viewed as more insidious than previous forms of online sabotage because it is simple to perpetrate--often requiring nothing more than the ability to copy computer code from hacker publications--but has been virtually impossible to stop.
The Berkeley Software patch basically allows the server to accept thousands more connections at once so that a system can weather an attack with enough space available for legitimate users to get on, Urner said.
"In a space where we could have stored a few hundred incoming connections we can now store 10,000 incomplete connections," he said. "You want to make sure you don't run out of resources while you're riding out a significant attack."
Urner is quick to point out that the only real existing solution on the Interent: for each provider to stop attacks from being perpetrated by filtering packets leaving their systems for forged source addresses. If every provider on the Internet did that, the attacks would stop.
While getting universal cooperation may be impossible, Urner is optimistic about widespread cooperation. "The filtering fix is so easy that I think most vendors of networking hardware and software will start making it a standard feature of their products," he said. "I expect this to happen very soon."
Urner said the patch could be out as early as tomorrow, but programmers at Berkeley Software estimate that it will most likely be released Wednesday. He added that the company is happy to release it for free on its Web pages or FTP site.
"The basic fix is not rocket science," he said. "This isn't the place to try to get proprietary advantage. The thing is, it's bad for the Internet."
In a typical connection, the user sends a message asking the server to authenticate it. The server returns the authentication approval to the user. The user acknowledges this approval and then is allowed onto the server.
In a "denial of service" attack, the user sends several authentication requests to the server, filling it up. All requests have false return addresses, so the server can't find the user when it tries to send the authentication approval. The server waits, sometimes more than a minute, before closing the connection. When it does close the connection, the attacker sends a new batch of forged requests, and the process begins again--tying up the service indefinitely.
Hamlet is one of Shakespeare’s most dynamic plays, built around its compelling, chameleon-like central character. Our production of Hamlet will feature a woman, Stevie Hancox-Monk, in the eponymous lead role.
Part-ghost story, part-thriller, part-dark comedy, Hamlet moves at a breakneck pace towards a tragic conclusion. An innovative new interpretation of one of the world’s most enduring stories, Summer Shakespeare’s Hamlet is the perfect opportunity to experience the Bard at its best over a family-friendly picnic in the beautiful Dell, Wellington Botanic Gardens.
According to the show’s award-winning director David O’Donnell, Associate Professor in Theatre at Victoria University of Wellington, a female Hamlet reflects Summer Shakespeare’s equal opportunity casting policy and reinforces the relevance of Shakespeare’s greatest writing to all of humanity.
A special Schools Preview will be performed on 14/2/18. Teachers contact: foh@summershakespeare.co.nz for more information.
Please dress warmly, long pants and jersey recommended. Bring a picnic and BYO beverage of your choice.
Show run time is 3 hours including a 15-minute interval.
No smoking or vaping allowed in the Botanic Gardens.
Summer Shakespeare is a 36-year-old tradition in Wellington, proudly sponsored by Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Victoria University of Wellington.
First responders in Alabama hunted for survivors Monday after a devastating tornado killed at least 23 people, smashed homes and toppled power lines.
BEAUREGARD, Ala. – First responders aided by drones and search dogs hunted for survivors Monday after a devastating tornado killed at least 23 people, injured dozens more, smashed homes, snapped power lines and toppled a massive steel cell tower.
The tornado Sunday was part of a powerful storm system that also ripped through parts of Florida, South Carolina and Georgia. The National Weather Service in Tallahassee confirmed the system spawned multiple tornadoes in Alabama and others in Leon County, Florida, and Cairo, Georgia.
In Alabama, Lee County Sheriff Jay Jones said searchers sifted through the most severely damaged areas of this rural community less than 10 miles from sprawling Auburn University. No additional victims were found, but he said the search was continuing. Dozens of people were unaccounted for, he said.
"It looks almost as if someone took a giant knife and just scraped the ground," Jones said. "There are slabs where homes normally stood. There is debris everywhere."
National Weather Service meteorologist Chris Darden said the area had been warned of possible tornadoes days before the storm. Lee County residents had warnings eight to nine minutes before the killer twister struck, he said. That is below the national average of about 14 minutes, the weather service said.
Evidence indicated the storm roared through as an EF4 in strength with winds of about 170 mph.
"It was almost a mile wide, a monster storm as it moved across the area," Darden said.
Lee County Coroner Bill Harris confirmed that at least three children – ages 6, 9 and 10 – had died. One of them was fourth-grader Taylor Thornton, her school said. "Our hearts at Lee-Scott Academy are broken this morning," the school said in a Facebook post Monday. "Please pray for the Thornton family, our students, faculty, and staff during this difficult time."
A GoFundMe campaign for Taylor's family quickly surpassed its $15,000 goal.
Jones said the primary focus Monday was on search and rescue. Heat-detecting drones were scanning the wreckage for people who may be trapped.
"This hurts my heart," Jones said. "It's extremely upsetting to me to see these people hurting like this and families who have lost loved ones. This is a very tight-knit community. These people are tough, resilient people. It's knocked them down, but they'll be back."
The tornado was the nation's most deadly since at least May 20, 2013, when a tornado killed 24 people in Oklahoma, Darden said. Last year, tornadoes killed 10 Americans, the fewest since unofficial records began in 1875.
More: 2018 was an all-time record quiet year for tornadoes in the U.S.
Harris said he called in help from the state because there were more bodies than his office could handle. Most of the identities had been determined Monday afternoon, and families were being notified.
Jan Murphy’s home escaped damage, but the 26-year resident of Beauregard said she didn't have to go far to see the destruction.
“Just a quarter-mile down the road, everything’s gone," she said.
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey expanded a state of emergency statewide. President Donald Trump tweeted condolences to victims and their families.
"FEMA has been told directly by me to give the A Plus treatment to the Great State of Alabama and the wonderful people who have been so devastated by the Tornadoes," Trump tweeted. "@GovIvey, one of the best in our Country, has been so informed. She is working closely with FEMA (and me!)."
The East Alabama Medical Center said it had received 60 patients. All but four had been released by Monday afternoon. Other patients were treated elsewhere, the hospital said.
Opelika Animal Hospital, a few miles north of here, began boarding animals free of charge after the storm. Gary Hunt, a veterinarian, said volunteers quickly brought in five animals, some of them injured.
In Georgia, Gov. Brian Kemp declared a state of emergency in three counties, promising "swift action" toward recovery. In Grady County, Cairo Mayor Booker Gainor said a tornado struck just off the downtown area, damaging dozens of homes and businesses. There were no immediate reports of deaths or injuries, but Gainor said crews responded to several residents who were trapped in their damaged homes.
At the Cairo IGA, customers and employees huddled together on Aisle 6 in the middle of the store when the storm hit. The tornado ripped off part of the roof and sheared the bricks off one exterior wall.
“You could feel the building shaking," closing manager Gabriel Lewis said. "There was a bunch of wind blowing in the doors."
In Talbot County, several minor injuries were reported and a few buildings were damaged, emergency management spokeswoman Ann Erenheim said.
In South Carolina, about 150 people hunkered down at the Red Bank Baptist Church in Lexington County during Sunday services. Children sang “Jesus Loves Me” as the storm howled. A column in the front of the building was toppled and another was damaged.
The region is expected to get a reprieve from the winds in coming days. But colder air will sweep into the Southeast behind the severe weather, AccuWeather meteorologist Kristina Pydynowski said. Temperatures could drop into the 30s southward to central Georgia and across most of Alabama.
Addis Ababa — The School Feeding Program launched by Yenat Weg Charitiable Association has helped to downsize the number of dropouts by 64 percent, a study revealed.
According to the study conducted by Eth Alem Plc. Consulting firm, enrollment increased by 9 percent while the number of absent students declined by 59 percent and dropouts by 64 percent annually in 43 schools in Addis Ababa.
Physical development has also shown growth to 21.8 percent gain in body weight improvement and 3.7 percent height increment since the intervention four years ago.
Besides, the program has improved academic performances of beneficiary students, measuring 11 percent improvement in annual academic scores.
The program further supports mothers of the beneficiary students through business training and income generation, it was learned.
Yenat Weg Charitable Association patron and former First Lady Roman Tesfaye said on the occasion "we will continue to support this activity" as the program has attracted school enrolment and fed the children.
She noted that the government needs to be proactive in regulating and implementing such programs by sharing the experiences of other countries to further increase the school enrolment of needy children.
Yenat Weg Charitable Association started the school feeding program in 2014 by providing meals for 5,000 students whose parents could not afford to feed them.
Currently, the association is feeding more than 22,000 students in Addis Ababa, with the support of donors.
Get the latest score and analysis from our live feed Tuesday at 6 p.m. as the Warriors take on the Jazz in Utah.
Olympian, 2018 World Figuring Skating champion and major Jazz fan Nathan Chen will be joining us for a live Instagram Q&A at 6:45pm!
Also are we going to give up on the dialogue that Donovan Mitchell "doesn't care" about Rookie of the Year? Adidas made the sweatshirt, but he chose to wear it.
Rookie: "a member of an athletic team in his or her first full season in that sport."
Rudy Gobert hits the mic ahead of Jazz-Warriors to thank the fans in Utah for the great support all year, gets a round of applause.
The Jazz and the Warriors are starting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Big cheers when Rudy Gobert thanks the Jazz crowd for a season's support and says, "Now we've got a chance to play in the playoffs."
Two buckets from Gobert to kick things off for the Jazz, the last a mammoth slam.
Derrick Favors put Zaza on a poster.
This Jazz ball movement is awesome so far. Favors just capped off maybe their best play yet with a thunderous and-1 poster on Zaza.
Utah on 6-0 run, lead GSW 12-6, 7;49 left in the first..the Warriors have missed their last 4..
2018 Figure Skating World Champion @nathanwchen is here in the house for Jazz-Warriors. Just got an intro on the big screen.
Warriors shooting just 37% through the first 5 minutes in Utah. Meanwhile, Derrick Favors is putting folks on posters.
Mitchell should've passed rather than try to drive in on Green. Ingles throws his hands up, uncovered in the corner. This is still a process.
It's a 21-9 lead for the Jazz.
Jazz playing like this game means something to them, which it does. Warriors playing like this game doesn't mean anything to them, which it doesn't.
Gloriously bonkers. Like, Looney Tunes levels of cartoon madness. You will laugh your homo sapiens head off.
President Trump is rolling back his predecessor's environmental agenda - again. On Tuesday, the administration announced that it will soon be curbing coal regulations by replacing President Obama's Clean Power Plan with their "Affordable Clean Energy" proposal. The plan, the EPA says, will still cut overall emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming, but will give states more authority to make their own decisions on how to do it.
Health officials say the change is a dangerous move.
"With today’s proposal, President Trump and Acting EPA Administrator Wheeler abandon much-needed public health safeguards against power plant pollution, placing the health of all Americans at risk, and especially those who are most vulnerable, including children, older adults, and people with asthma and heart disease,” Harold P. Wimmer, national president of the American Lung Association, said in a statement.
Other critics are pointing out that EPA's own analysis predicts the new proposal would result in more deaths.
But, proponents of the Affordable Clean Energy plan note that it will allow states to decide what environmental decisions are best for them, setting their own limits on the release of carbon dioxide and other materials.
"EPA takes its Clean Air Act responsibilities seriously and is committed to providing certainty to state and industry partners. We will not use our authority to pick winners and losers in the energy marketplace. Rather, our proposal would permit states to make energy decisions based on what works best for them rather than what the federal government tells them to do. The era of top-down, one-size-fits-all federal mandates is over," Acting Administrator Andrew Wheeler wrote in an op-ed in the Pittsburg Post-Gazette.
Writing in the USA Today, Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) says putting states in the driver's seat on the environment is a good thing. Wyoming was one of 27 states to challenge the Clean Power Plan in court.
"It is the states that can best tackle the question of how we reduce emissions without raising people’s electric bills and hurting our economy," Barrasso wrote. "The Obama top-down mandate from Washington wasn’t legal and wouldn’t work."
"I am thrilled the Trump administration kept its word to the American people by throwing out the so-called 'Clean Power Plan,'" she said. "The President and the Environmental Protection Agency have restored – through the "Affordable Clean Energy" rule – the rule of law, returned power to the states and added needed certainty to our energy industry – both our regulators and consumers.
"This day was only possible because of a bipartisan collection of state attorneys general who stood up to the Obama administration and filed repeated legal challenges to the blatant overreach of executive power. And, together, we won an historic stay from the Supreme Court of the United States – stopping the so-called 'Clean Power Plan.'"
In my previous post I wrote about a teacher I work with, Jennifer Magiera, who spends part of her day as a 4th/5th grade math teacher and the other part providing STEM coaching to teachers in our school and other teachers in the Academy for Urban School Leadership (AUSL) network. If hybrid roles for teachers are to become the norm rather than an exception or rarity, we need to study those who are doing this work to learn from their experiences and identify those teachers in our schools who might be good candidates. That candidate may in fact be you.
Although Jennifer has only been in this role since September, there are some critical attributes she has that make her a good fit for her hybrid role. First, Jennifer has a passion for math instruction and the role that technology can play in supporting student learning and assessment. She has facilitated professional development on math instruction at the school and district level. This work has led her to an opportunity to work with the math curriculum publisher on a textbook revision. She also has been a pioneer in our district with using iPad technology to differentiate instruction and create dynamic, formative assessments. This leadership has earned her the opportunity to serve as an Apple Distinguished Educator. I share this information to illustrate that Jennifer has expertise that needs to be shared with teachers. The teachers in our schools are able to have Jennifer observe their use of iPads in the classroom, support them as they design their own instruction and assessments, and give them critical feedback. While this is happening, Jennifer's own understanding of the technology is deepening. The students she continues to teach are the beneficiaries of her expanding knowledge.
Jennifer is also incredibly organized and motivated. These are critical attributes of any teacher who is considering designing or taking on a hybrid role. Within any given day, Jennifer is teaching, assessing, giving students feedback, and designing lessons and units. While this is happening Jennifer is also teaching two residents teachers from AUSL's Chicago Teacher Residency program how to do these same things, as well as providing them with coaching and feedback on their practice. Add to this the coaching and support she is providing our school's STEM teachers and you get the idea that Jennifer's day is quite busy. She has designed systems, structures, and routines that keep her on track and prevent her from getting overwhelmed in any one area. She is motivated to see our students succeed, as well as the teachers she supports.
• Do they have expertise to share that others may benefit from?
• Are they passionate about having others learn from their expertise?
• Are they organized? Do they thrive with a packed schedule?
And finally, what can you do the support the teachers you know who are ready to take on a hybrid role and reshape our teaching profession?
