It might have been Edelman’s catch in Super Bowl LI. My mind was just absolutely blown by that play. I remember watching it through binoculars and being pretty sure that he actually made it. Then when replay confirmed the catch, I just swore in amazement for a minute or so.
Tonga's minister for Public Enterprises says the Public Servants Association hasn't officially confirmed its agreed to talks, scheduled for Thursday.
Afu'alo Matoto says he sent a letter last week asking for the PSA to confirm this week's meeting, but they haven't.
The PSA has been been threatening industrial action, if a meeting with the government wasn't held to discuss concerns the union has been raising for several months.
The union's grievances centre on what it says is the failure of the Government to abide by the terms of a memorandum of understanding signed to end lengthy public sector strikes two years ago.
He says the PSA should also stop making threats, prior to any discussion with the government.
"Well I think its really up to the PSA if they want to talk. Because all I need is the confirmation from them that they will restrain themselves from issuing these threats and demands and so on, until we have talked and we see what the outcome of our talks will be, and we can sit down and talk."

The union has questioned the government's long term commitment to pay rises given at that time and has raised objections to the way widespread redundancies were implemented in the public service last year.

NRL player Jarryd Hayne’s matter regarding the alleged sexual assault of a woman in the Hunter Valley on grand final night has been held over to April following a brief mention in Newcastle Local Court on Wednesday.
Mr Hayne, 30, was charged with aggravated sexual assault and inflicting actual bodily harm after he handed himself in to Ryde police station in November.
He has previously indicated he would plead not guilty to the charges.
A Newcastle court heard on Wednesday that a brief of evidence against Hayne had been served, however there were still some outstanding matters to be addressed.
Police allege the assault of the 26-year-old woman took place in a Hunter Region home on September 30, grand final night.
The alleged victim said she suffered injuries during a sexual encounter with Mr Hayne and that she had photographs to back up her allegations.
It is understood the woman was interviewed by the NRL's integrity unit before the matter was referred to police.
Mr Hayne had been excused from attending and did not appear when his matter was mentioned in Newcastle Local Court on Wednesday.
The matter is due to return to Newcastle Local Court on April 3 and Mr Hayne was again excused from attending.

It’s bold and risky to hype a movie by using Mad Max to describe it, especially after the action masterpiece that was Mad Max: Fury Road was nominated for Best Picture. But that’s exactly what a new sci-fi movie called 2307: Winter’s Dream is doing, and once you watch the trailer for the movie, you’ll see that it’s at least accurate in terms of the style of the movie — but unfortunately, not the quality. However, it does look like it would be a fun discovery if it were sitting on the shelf of a video rental store.

Police: Autopsy results on 77-year-old Lyle Leith are pending. A person was taken into custody in Florence County.
WAUSAU - Police have released the name of a 77-year-old Wausau man found dead by his daughter Tuesday and have arrested one man as part of their investigation.
Lyle R. Leith was found dead in his garage in the 1000 block of Kickbusch Street in Wausau, according to police. Results are pending from an autopsy conducted on Leith's body Wednesday.
As part of its investigation, police got a warrant and searched a home in Florence County in far northeast Wisconsin. They arrested a man in the home on suspicion of felony domestic violence, according to police, who did not elaborate on the man's connection to Leith's death.
Anyone with information regarding Leith's death is asked to contact the Wausau Police Department at 715-261-7800.
What happens if you're a publisher and you don't comply with Apple's in-app purchasing and subscription policies? Apple releases a software update, your app breaks, and then you have to release a new, compliant version of your app in a hurry.
At least that's what appears to have happened to The Economist's app for iPhone and iPad when iOS 5 was released, PaidContent reports.
Instead of issuing a fix however, the UK-based weekly has released a brand-new — but essentially identical — app [iTunes link] in the App Store. A pop-up message in the first app prompts users to download the new app in the App Store.
Users won't notice much difference between the old and new apps. As before, print and digital subscribers can enter their credentials to download issues, and non-subscribers can continue to purchase single issues or a subscription through the app. This time, however, purchases are handled through iTunes, and consequently subject to a 30% cut from Apple.
There is one inconvenient difference for subscribers, though: They'll have to keep the old app to access issues before Aug. 27. A spokesperson said the company hopes to bring older issues to the new app "sometime soon."
One thing we don't understand: Why The Economist released an iOS 5-compatible app in the App Store, rather than the Newsstand, which would enable both better discovery and automatic downloads for subscribers. Grut says his team "felt it would be best to see it in action before making our minds up … which we will do very soon."
Whether they intend to or not, even the most liberal, secular folks can perpetuate a type of “oppressive Christmas climate,” according to Lux Alptraum in an article for NBC News. By that, she means that there’s a culture celebrating Christmas that includes more than just Christians, and we should at least be cognizant of what that does to people who don’t celebrate the holiday even in a cultural way.
I should note that it is not the celebration of Christmas, per se, with which I take issue. Spending time with loved ones and exchanging gifts are lovely traditions, and while many of the particular traditions of Christmas are not quite to my taste, I’m thrilled to know they give others a great deal of joy. And, as someone who comes from a mixed-faith heritage, I have many relatives for whom Christmas is deeply meaningful and important.
What I do object to, however, is the culture that’s been built around Christmas, that has elevated one religious faith’s year-end festivity into an inescapable, weeks-long period of compulsory celebration for nearly everyone. If you’re Muslim, Jewish, Hindu or otherwise uninterested in participating in a Christian holiday, you can personally opt out of Christmas Day by declining to get a tree and spending December 25 at the movies — but all bets are off should you choose to leave your house (or even turn on the TV) at any moment between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
She’s absolutely right. She’s not knocking believing Christians or those who celebrate a secular version of Christmas. She’s just pointing out that since it seems like Christmas comes earlier and earlier, with some retail stores displaying Christmas decorations when it’s barely even Halloween, remember that some people (myself included) aren’t as excited by songs mentioning Santa or reindeer. They’re like a fork stuck in a garbage disposal.
The problem isn’t just the Christians who demand that everyone praise Jesus; it’s also the people who enjoy the holiday spirit for all the other reasons.
It would be bad enough if this aggressive Christmas assault were purely the domain of the rabid right wing; if the only people I needed to worry about fending off were the types who see cries of “Happy Holidays” as an affront to their religious freedom, or the switch from red to green holiday cups as some sign of an Islamic agenda. But the truth is that liberals — even ones who ostensibly embrace religious diversity — can be just as bad as their conservative counterparts when it comes to enforcing the oppressive Christmas climate.
And at a time when religious minorities are increasingly under attack within this country, we need to take a long hard look at the way Christmas is used to send the message that America is a nation primarily for Christians.
When I tell a liberal Christmas fan that I just don’t want to get into the spirit, it usually doesn’t end well. If they’re not insistent that I’m missing out (and just no fun), they tend to see my lack of enthusiasm for Christmas as an indictment of their own enjoyment of the holiday.
In Christmas culture, such people are likened to “grinches” or “scrooges,” jokes that get stale the moment they’re told.
It’s a reaction that’s disappointing any Christmas season, but this year, as the celebration ramps up in the shadow of the most fatal anti-Semitic attack in American history, it’s particularly disheartening. With white nationalism on the rise, and a president who takes great pleasure in using cries of “Merry Christmas” to bludgeon religious minorities, being non-Christian in America feels more isolating, and unsafe, than ever.
Alptraum’s point isn’t that we shouldn’t celebrate Christmas. But atheists know what it’s like when they have to deal with Christians who want everyone to celebrate Christmas the exact same way they do. It’s annoying. You just want to scream, “We don’t have to do it your way just because it’s this time of year!” Well, that’s how others feel about people who participate in Christmas at all. If their feelings matter to you, it doesn’t take much effort to include them in your festivities.
Murphy and Meg are no longer the radio show hosts at 95.7 BIG FM.
Published April 4, 2019 at 12:09 p.m.
After more than a decade as the morning show hosts at WRIT-FM – with many of those years as the top-rated radio show on the dial – Dave Murphy and Meg McKenzie are out at 95.7 BIG FM.
The duo, who served as morning show hosts together on the station as 'Murphy & Meg in the Morning' since 2008 during both its time as Oldies 95.7 FM and its current 95.7 BIG FM form, were terminated from iHeart on Tuesday after that day's broadcast.
"We are sorry to announce that April 2 was the final broadcast of 'Murphy & Meg in the Morning' on 95.7 BIG FM. The change that our former employers, iHeart Media - Milwaukee, decided to make was business-related and we understand that. No one will miss our show more than we will. We truly loved what we did and the relationships we developed with our listeners over the years. As we often said on the air, 'You are the best listeners any radio station could ever have!' The past decade that we spent mornings with you will forever be one of the most cherished times of our lives. We also feel blessed by the many close friendships we made at iHeart Media - Milwaukee and will truly miss seeing those co-workers on a daily basis. Most of all, we're grateful for our own friendship. We spent 15 years working together and became family along the way. Thank you, southeastern Wisconsin ... we will miss you! Ob-la-di, ob-la-da …"
WRIT program director Brett Andrews declined to comment on Murphy & Meg's departure, as well as any future plans for the morning show at 95.7 BIG FM. OnMilwaukee reached out to iHeart Media - Milwaukee management as well but has yet to receive a reply at time of publication.
BOSTON — The Boston Red Sox have some shiny new bling!
The winners of the 2018 World Series Championship were awarded their rings at a ceremony Tuesday afternoon at Fenway Park, prior to the start of the 2019 home opener.
According to the team, the rings are made of 185 stones -- one for each game of the season plus the team's nine World Series titles -- set in white gold. There are 4.5 carats of diamonds, 6.5 carats of rubies and 4 carats of sapphires.
The team shared close-ups of the rings, revealing details including engravings which read "119 wins" and "Damage Done." The interiors of the rings also include the player's signature and nickname.
This installment of the Prestige Archetype-series clocks in at 8 pages, 1 page front cover, 1 page SRD, ~1/2 a page of editorial, leaving us with 5 1/2 pages of content, so let’s take a look!
First question – what are prestige archetypes? Well, they are essentially a breakdown of a regular PrC into a full-blown 20-level spanning class – so no, these classes don’t necessarily mean that you’ll have a universal archetype (wouldn’t have worked in this context, I think), instead providing a retooled playing experience so you don’t have to work your way up to the PrC via classes you don’t want to play. So that’s definitely a pro-side. On the con-side, *personally*, I treat PrCs as very much tied to organizations etc., emphasizing the “prestige”-component as opposed to archetypes, which are more traditions in my game. I’m not the target audience of these books, but I will take a stab at them anyways.
The Assassin as crafted here must be non-good, receives a good ref-save and 3/4 BAB-progression, d8, proficiency with crossbows, blowguns, daggers, darts, rapiers, short bows, saps, short swords and shields and receive a massive 8+ Int skills per level. They also receive sneak attack, progressing up to +10d6. The assassin also receives the option to forgo 1d6 sneak damage to demoralize targets, more d6 increasing the chances the demoralize works on a 1d6 for +5-ratio. 4th level death attack is two levels below what the PrC receives, seeing it can only be taken after receiving 5 ranks in stealth. Not a fan of this decision.
Better options for hiding weapons, evasion and uncanny dodge – all solid. An awareness of slain targets returning to life is downright brilliant. True Death is unlocked at 8th level and quiet/swift death fit at 10th and 18th level. AQ new dual capstone of master strikes and soul bind manages what the PrC fails at – making resurrection HARD.
The class also provides advice on the option to trade in sneak attack for rogue talents to bring some flexibility back. The favored class options of the core-races are solid.
We also receive NPC-builds of level 1, 5, 10 and 15.
Editing and formatting are very good, I noticed no truly significant glitches. Layout adheres to Purple Duck Games printer-friendly two-column standard and the pdf comes fully bookmarked for your convenience.
Carl Cramér’s take on the assassin can be summed up as a rogue on speed – and it honestly works rather well. Why? Well, for one, the rogue is, even with talented/glory-updates not a powerful class. The death attack, while extremely powerful, still requires a lot of set-up. The resurrection-sense is downright brilliant. the new capstones are actually worth the name. The massive skill-increase to 8 (in contrast to 4 of the PrC) may seem like too much, but for me, it works. From poison use to angel of death etc., all iconic tricks are here – and paid for by a decreased flexibility. Which I would complain about – but the note on alternatively allowing for rogue talent access constitutes this variety: If you think rogues are fine, maintain the linear nature of the assassin as a balance tool. If you think it needs an upgrade, go for the flexible version that can learn talents – glorious.
I love this Prestige Archetype and fans of assassins and rogues may very much want to check this out – it triumphs where the PrC fails, prevents low-level death attack-spamming abuse and provides a damn cool take on the assassin. Two thumbs up – 5 stars +seal of approval!

SELBYVILLE, Del.- Authorities are investigating a late Thursday night fire that left a home near Selbyville in ruins.
The Delaware State Fire Marshal's Office said the blaze occurred at around 8:30 p.m. at a two story home on the 38000 block of Old Mill Bridge Road. Firefighters from the Roxana Volunteer Fire Company arrived on the scene to find heavy fire in the rear bedroom of the first floor and the unfinished second floor of the structure. They were assisted by the Millville, Bethany Beach, Frankford, and Rehoboth Beach fire companies.
Deputy state fire marshals said the fire originated in the first floor bedroom, and the cause is still under investigation.
No occupants were home at the time of the incident, and the home was equipped with working smoke detectors. Investigators said one firefighter received minor injuries when he fell through the ceiling of the attached garage, but refused treatment.
Mike Lingenfelter is the homeowner and rents out the property. He also lives one mile away and witnessed the blaze.
"You know it's a home, you can replace it," he explained. "No one got hurt, so it's all good."
A Go Fund Me account has been set up for the family renting the house to help replace and rebuild.
Numerous Tibetans, mostly monks, have set themselves on fire in the past months as a way to protest the repressive rule of the Chinese government. The Dalai Lama has stated that he does not encourage his people to continue to protest in such drastic ways. At the same time, Beijing has responded with added security measures and arrests. However, the self-immolations continue with no end in sight.
