A gendarme patrols on the beach during a visit by the French interior minister in Toulon on Aug. 14. (Bertrand Langlois/Agence France-Presse) The subject of women's clothing in France became a worldwide topic of discussion last month after images of a Muslim woman being forced to remove her burkini at a beach by armed police officers spread online. The images focused attention not only on the recent bans on the full-body burkinis in some French cities, but also the nationwide ban on full-face Islamic veils in public spaces, implemented in 2011. This week, a dispute about how women should dress has again erupted in France — but this time, the circumstances were notably different. According to initial reports published in the French press this week, two women wearing shorts were verbally assaulted as they made their way through an eastern neighborhood in the southern city of Toulon on Sunday afternoon. Local prosecutor Bernard Marchal told reporters a group of about 10 young men began insulting the women, who were out biking and rollerblading with their families, calling them "whores" and making other vulgar insults for their choice of clothing. When the women's spouses confronted the men, a brawl broke out. The husbands and a male friend were severely beaten. The fighting, which was witnessed by children in the group, left one man with severe facial fractures and another with a broken nose, Marchal told Agence France-Presse. Two suspects, ages 17 and 19, were apprehended Tuesday; an investigation is underway to find the others. The idea that the women had been harassed simply because they wore shorts led some to dub it the "affaire des shorts." However, on Friday one of the women involved came out to say that was inaccurate. "We were not in shorts. We were in sportswear," the woman, named as Marie, told the Nice Matin newspaper. Part of the reason the incident spread so quickly was that it followed a previous attack on a woman wearing shorts. In early June, an 18-year-old girl named Maude Vallet said she was insulted, threatened and spat on by a group of girls while on a bus in Toulon — all because she was wearing denim shorts. Vallet posted a picture of her outfit on Facebook afterward, arguing that men can walk around the city with their shirts off and not face the harassment she faced. After that incident, about 100 women wearing shorts gathered in Toulon for a "short walk." The event was promoted with the hashtag #TousEnShort — or "all in shorts." Du monde à la marche des shorts ! #tousenshort pic.twitter.com/wV40s5xwC2 — Cécile MUSCHOTTI (@CMUSCHOTTI) June 25, 2016 So far, there is little information about the motivations of the attackers in either instances — details such as their religious or ethnic backgrounds have not been publicly released. However, some in France linked the reports of attacks on shorts-wearers to the ongoing burkini controversy. "The question of the burkini, the proliferation of full veils, assaults on women in shorts and the beating of their companions share the same logic," Céline Pina, a former regional councilor for the Paris area and the author of a book on Islamist extremism, wrote for Le Figaro on Thursday. "It's making the body of the woman a social and political issue, a litmus test for the progress of an ideology within society." Officials of the far-right National Front shared the story widely on social media, often using the hashtag #TousEnShort. Many suggested a link between the assault and Islam. "Again, our freedoms are being severely attacked," Julien Leonardelli, the department secretary for the party in Haute-Garonne, wrote on Twitter. "Sharia is already installed."'

A gendarme patrols on the beach during a visit by the French interior minister in Toulon on Aug. 14. (Bertrand Langlois/Agence France-Presse) The subject of women's clothing in France became a worldwide topic of discussion last month after images of a Muslim woman being forced to remove her burkini at a beach by armed police officers spread online. The images focused attention not only on the recent bans on the full-body burkinis in some French cities, but also the nationwide ban on full-face Islamic veils in public spaces, implemented in 2011.

Local prosecutor Bernard Marchal told reporters a group of about 10 young men began insulting the women, who were out biking and rollerblading with their families, calling them "whores" and making other vulgar insults for their choice of clothing. When the women's spouses confronted the men, a brawl broke out. The husbands and a male friend were severely beaten. The fighting, which was witnessed by children in the group, left one man with severe facial fractures and another with a broken nose, Marchal told Agence France-Presse. Two suspects, ages 17 and 19, were apprehended Tuesday; an investigation is underway to find the others. The idea that the women had been harassed simply because they wore shorts led some to dub it the "affaire des shorts." However, on Friday one of the women involved came out to say that was inaccurate. "We were not in shorts. We were in sportswear," the woman, named as Marie, told the Nice Matin newspaper. Part of the reason the incident spread so quickly was that it followed a previous attack on a woman wearing shorts.

Loch Ness Monster sightings had been on a steady decline over the last few years, but sightings of the famous cryptid have bounced back over the past year. According to the Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register the reported sightings of Nessie reached their highest level for more than a decade this year. The keeper of the register Gary Campbell said this was a very active and even a vintage year for Nessie sightings and reports. According to Campbell the register accepted five sightings in 2015 which is the highest total in the last 13 years. There were many more alleged sightings of the lake monster but the majority of the reports did not get added to the register because they could be explained says, Campbell. “Recent Loch Ness Monster sightings“ The lack of sightings and reports over the last couple of years, including no reported sightings in 2013 had many people questioning the lake monster mystery and many wondering if Nessie was dead. But this years multiple bona fide sightings from Loch Ness of the lake monster have brought life back into the monster mystery. Among the sightings logged by the register was on by an American tourist named Crystal Ardito back in July. She claimed to have seen what she called a “gray thing” in the waters of the Loch for a few second and was able to get a possible Nessie photo. Then in August of this year a couple from Yorkshire who were staying at the Loch Ness Holiday Park had a Loch Ness Monster sighting. According to the couple they saw a mass moving in an undulating fashion in the loch and was able to get a photo of it as well. There were also five other people who reported seeing this sighting, which lasted approx five minutes. The latest sighting of the Loch Ness Monster was in September and reported by a local man named Conor McKenna according to the register. He claims to have seen a 15-20ft long dark colored object in the waters of the loch about 250 yards from shore about a mile south of Urquhart Castle. He says he had a clear look at it for about six seconds before it submerged leaving behind a small wave. These latest Loch Ness Monster sightings may at least to some extent revive the debate between skeptics and believers as to the existence of the most famous lake monster in the world. Any it leaves many to wonder of Loch Ness Monster sightings 2016 will be as plentiful and could it be the year we actually get proof of the creature!

Loch Ness Monster sightings had been on a steady decline over the last few years, but sightings of the famous cryptid have bounced back over the past year. According to the Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register the reported sightings of Nessie reached their highest level for more than a decade this year. The keeper of the register Gary Campbell said this was a very active and even a vintage year for Nessie sightings and reports. According to Campbell the register accepted five sightings in 2015 which is the highest total in the last 13 years. There were many more alleged sightings of the lake monster but the majority of the reports did not get added to the register because they could be explained says, Campbell. “Recent Loch Ness Monster sightings“ The lack of sightings and reports over the last couple of years, including no reported sightings in 2013 had many people questioning the lake monster mystery and many wondering if Nessie was dead. But this years multiple bona fide sightings from Loch Ness of the lake monster have brought life back into the monster mystery. Among the sightings logged by the register was on by an American tourist named Crystal Ardito back in July. She claimed to have seen what she called a “gray thing” in the waters of the Loch for a few second and was able to get a possible Nessie photo. Then in August of this year a couple from Yorkshire who were staying at the Loch Ness Holiday Park had a Loch Ness Monster sighting. According to the couple they saw a loch and was able to get a photo of it as well. There were also five other people who reported seeing this sighting, which lasted approx five minutes. The latest sighting of the Loch Ness Monster was in September and reported by a local man named Conor McKenna according to the register. He claims to have seen a 15-20ft long dark colored object in the waters of the lo. He says he had a clear look at it for about six seconds before it submerged leaving behind a small wave. These latest Loch Ness Monster sightings may at least to some extent revive the debate between skeptics and believers as to the existence of the most famous lake monster in the world. Any it leaves many to wonder of Loch Ness Monster sightings 2016 will be as plentiful and could it be the year we actually get proof of the creature!
By Moni Basu, CNN (CNN) - Buried on page 45 of the 2010 Defense Appropriations Act, after pages on the maintenance and operation of the U.S. military, is an official apology to Native American people. Mark Charles, a member of the Navajo Nation, stumbled onto the apology about a year ago after he heard GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney say that he would never apologize for America. That comment didn't sit well with Charles - nobody is perfect, he thought. He wrote a blog post that cited several situations in which he believed it was prudent for America to say sorry. One of them was to native people. In rare apology, House regrets exclusionary laws targeting Chinese A reader responded that such an apology had already been issued. Charles went online and found the 2010 Defense Act. The United States, acting through Congress ... recognizes that there have been years of official depredations, ill-conceived policies, and the breaking of covenants by the federal government regarding Indian tribes; apologizes on behalf of the people of the United States to all native peoples for the many instances of violence, maltreatment, and neglect inflicted on native peoples by citizens of the United States ... It went on to urge the president to acknowledge the wrongs. Charles wondered why he had never heard President Barack Obama publicly issue this apology. And if he had never heard it, then most certainly native people who lived isolated lives on reservations had not either. He set himself on a path to rectify that. On the anniversary of the passing of the defense bill - Wednesday, December 19 - he would go to the Capitol and he would read the apology out loud, hoping that others would join him in his cause and that it would attract enough attention so that people would hear about it. At 11 a.m. Wednesday, Charles plans to read the entire defense bill out loud. "As a Native American, I feel offended that the apology was buried in this bill," he said. "It demonstrates our country is not ready to apologize. "Personally, I don't think it's a very good apology," he said. "It does not mention any specific tribe or any specific incident." It also contains a disclaimer at the end: nothing in the apology could be used in a court of law against the United States. Charles's mother is of Dutch heritage. His father's mother is Navajo. Born in Reheboth, New Mexico, Charles went to UCLA and lived in Denver. But he'd never called called the reservation home. He realized if he were to continue a dialogue about Native Americans - the people with whom he identified - he would need to experience the way they lived. A few years ago, he took his wife and son and spent several years at a Navajo reservation sheep camp. It was off a dirt road and isolated. There were only two kinds of outsiders who visited there - those who came for charitable reasons and those who came to click their cameras. There was little there in the way of infrastructure, no running water or electricity. Charles lived by candlelight and hauled his water. But that was not the hardest part of living there. "The hardest part was how incredibly lonely and disconnected you feel from the rest of the country," he said. That's when Charles began to comprehend why many native people felt marginalized. "I don't believe it's an accident that our people are marginalized," he said. "Our country is so undereducated in Native American history that most people don't even know why the country is apologizing." Charles felt angry. He knew he had to channel his pain in a way that invited conversation and reconciliation. He began to reflect on a blog, Wireless Hogan, named after the traditional dwelling of the Navajos. This is how he explains things to people: Being Native American and living in the United States feels like our indigenous peoples are an old grandmother who lives in a very large house. It is a beautiful house with plenty of rooms and comfortable furniture. But, years ago, some people came into our house and locked us upstairs in the bedroom. Today, our house is full of people. They are sitting on our furniture. They are eating our food. They are having a party in our house. They have since unlocked the door to our bedroom but it is much later and we are tired, old, weak and sick; so we can't or don't come out. But the part that is the most hurtful and that causes us the most pain, is that virtually no one from this party ever comes upstairs to find us in the bedroom, sits down next to us on the bed, takes our hand, and simply says, "Thank you. Thank you for letting us be in your house." Charles hopes all of America will hear his message when he reads the apology in Washington.

By Moni Basu, CNN (CNN) - Buried on page 45 of the 2010 Defense Appropriations Act, after pages on the maintenance and operation of the U.S. military, is an official apology to Native American people. Mark Charles, a member of the Navajo Nation, stumbled onto the apology about a year ago after he heard GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney say that he would never apologize for America. That comment didn't sit well with He wrote a blog post that cited several situations in which he believed it was prudent for America to say sorry. One of them was to native people. In rare apology, House regrets exclusionary laws targeting Chinese A reader responded that such an apology had already been issued. Charles went online and found the 2010 Defense Act. The United States, acting through Congress ... recognizes that there have been years of official depredations, ill-conceived policies, and the breaking of covenants by the federal government regarding Indian tribes; apologizes on behalf of the people of the United States to all native peoples for the many instances of violence, maltreatment, and neglect inflicted on native peoples by citizens of the United States ... It went on to urge the president to acknowledge the wrongs. Charles wondered why he had never heard President Barack Obama publicly issue this apology. And if he had never heard it, then most certainly native people who lived isolated lives on reservations had not either. He set himself on a path to rectify that. On the anniversary of the passing of the defense bill - Wednesday, December 19 - he would go to the Capitol and he would read the apology out loud, hoping that others would join him in his cause and that it would attract enough attention so that people would hear about it. At 11 a.m. Wednesday, Charles plans to read the entire defense bill out loud. "As a Native American, I feel offended that the apology was buried in this bill," he said. "It demonstrates our country is not ready to apologize. "Personally, I don't think it's a very good apology It also contains a disclaimer at the end: nothing in the apology could be used in a court of law against the United States. Charles's mother is of Dutch heritage. His father's mother is Navajo. Born in Reheboth, New Mexico, Charles went to UCLA and lived in Denver. But he'd never called called the reservation home. He realized if he were to continue a dialogue about Native Americans - the people with whom he identified - he would need to experience the way they lived. A few years ago, he took his wife and son and spent several years at a Navajo reservation sheep camp. It was off a dirt road and isolated. There were only two kinds of outsiders who visited there - those who came for charitable reasons and those who came to click their cameras. There was little there in the way of infrastructure, no running water or electricity. Charles lived by candlelight and hauled his water. But that was not the hardest part of living there. "The hardest part was how incredibly lonely and disconnected you feel from the rest of the country," he said. That's when Charles began to comprehend why many native people felt marginalized. "I don't believe it's an accident that our people are marginalized," he said. "Our country is so undereducated in Native American history that most people don't even know why the country is apologizing." Charles felt angry. He knew he had to channel his pain in a way that invited conversation and reconciliation. He began to reflect on a blog, Wireless Hogan, named after the traditional dwelling of the Navajos. This is how he explains things to people: Being Native American and living in the United States feels like our indigenous peoples are an old grandmother who lives in a very large house. It is a beautiful house with plenty of rooms and comfortable furniture. But, years ago, some people came into our house and locked us upstairs in the bedroom. Today, our house is full of people. They are sitting on our furniture. They are eating our food. They are having a party in our house. They have since unlocked the door to our bedroom but it is much later and we are tired, old, weak and sick; so we can't or don't come out. But the part that is the most hurtful and that causes us the most pain, is that virtually no one from this party ever comes upstairs to find us in the bedroom, sits down next to us on the bed, takes our hand, and simply says, "Thank you. Thank you for letting us be in your house." Charles hopes all of America will hear his message when he reads the apology in Washington.
Pro-NATO Centre: 57% of Serbian youth dream of Russian military bases One of the largest pro-NATO non-governmental organizations of Serbia, Centre on the Euro-Atlantic Researches, found out what the Serbian youth thinks of Russia and an alliance with it. The survey results can hardly satisfy this organization: as it turned out, 57% of respondents support creation of the Russian military bases and 64% support the Russian foreign policy as a whole. The research is called "With widely closed eyes - strengthening of the Russian soft power in Serbia". Representatives of the Centre admitted, "the majority is sure that an alliance with Russia would improve their jobs opportunities, traveling and education, would lead to the increase of oversea investments, political stability in the country, and even democratization of the country, as well as improvement of the Serbia's image in the world." Director of the Centre Elena Milic used to claim in February that Russian influence in Serbia continues to rise and extend, while support of the European integration and movement towards the "democratic values" dropped.

On the last Friday of May, Alouettes team doctors determined Michael Klassen, one of the Canadian Football League’s most-promising non-import defensive tackles, wasn’t physically fit to play. Within days, he was signed by Calgary, passed his physical and was on the field, practising with his hometown team. And now, six weeks later, it still makes little sense to Klassen, who will get the opportunity to face the team that drafted him Friday night at Molson Stadium. “You never know what the thoughts are in their minds. There might be other reasons than the medical. Unfortunately, I was on the wrong end of the decision process,” the 6-foot-5, 285-pound Klassen said Thursday, upon the team’s arrival. “I look at their decision as a blessing in disguise. “Hopefully, I can make some plays and prove to (Calgary) I deserve to be on a professional football team … hopefully put some doubts in people’s minds and show (the Als) maybe this guy was a good player and we’ll miss him,” added the 26-year-old. Selected in the fourth round (32nd overall) by Montreal in 2013, Klassen certainly had injury issues. He suffered a season-ending broken fibula last August at Edmonton. A year earlier, on the same Commonwealth Stadium field, he was removed on a stretcher with a stinger. Klassen underwent hip surgery two years ago and played through a partially torn rotator cuff last season. In 54 career games with Montreal, Klassen produced 52 defensive tackles, eight quarterback sacks and forced two fumbles. A potential free agent last winter, he resigned with the Als. It’s believed the Als took issue with Klassen receiving medical treatment last winter from a non-team-affiliated doctor, although general manager Kavis Reed denied this assertion. “I was unable to convince the doctors I was healthy and ready to go,” Klassen said. “That it was a non-issue. “Just like every off-season I had been receiving treatment on the hip and shoulder. Maybe that’s why they thought I was unable to go. In my mind I was receiving treatment so I’d be ready to go, which was truly the case. I can’t read minds. I have no idea what their thought process was.” Related When the Als changed their ratio, going with two import offensive tackles, management decided defensive-tackle would become a Canadian position. Reed signed Keith Shologan, Jabar Westerman and Don Oramasionwu. The latter was released before camp only to return before the regular-season opener. “Plans change, I guess,” Klassen said. “Maybe when the decision process came down to it, they needed to get rid of a couple. We all were probably getting pretty good money. I guess I was one of those they needed to let go. “I was very surprised and quite distraught. I was trying to convince (Reed) to give me a chance. What could I do to prove I was healthy? The decision was made there and then, Friday night.” Klassen began the season with the Stampeders on the injured list before making his debut last Friday, against Winnipeg. He produced three defensive tackles against the Blue Bombers. hzurkowsky@postmedia.com twitter.com/HerbZurkowsky1

On the last Friday of May, Alouettes team doctors determined Michael Klassen, one of the Canadian Football League’s most-promising non-import defensive tackles, wasn’t physically fit to play. Within days, he was signed by Calgary, passed his physical and was on the field, practising with his hometown team. And now, six weeks later, it still makes little sense to Klassen, who will get the opportunity to face the team that drafted him Friday night at Molson Stadium. “You never know what the thoughts are in their minds. There might be other reasons than the medical. Unfortunately, I was on the wrong end of the decision process,” the 6-foot-5, 285-pound Klassen said Thursday, upon the team’s arrival. “I look at their decision as a blessing in disguise. “Hopefully, I can make some plays and prove to (Calgary) I deserve to be on a professional football team … hopefully put some doubts in people’s minds and show (the Als) maybe this guy was a good player and we’ll miss him,” added the 26-year-old. Selected in the fourth round (32nd overall) by Montreal in 2013, Klassen certainly had injury issues. He suffered a season-ending broken fibula last August at Edmonton. A year earlier, on the same Commonwealth Stadium field, he was removed on a stretcher with a stinger. Klassen underwent hip surgery two years ago and played through a partially torn rotator cuff last season. In 54 career games with Montreal, Klassen produced 52 defensive tackles, eight quarterback sacks and forced two fumbles. A potential free agent last winter, he resigned with the Als. It’s believed the Als took issue with Klassen receiving medical treatment last winter from a non-team-affiliated doctor, although general manager Kavis Reed denied this assertion. “I was unable to convince the doctors I was healthy and ready to go,” Klassen said. “That it was a non-issue. “Just like every off-season I had been receiving treatment on the hip and shoulder. Maybe that’s why they thought I was unable to go. In my mind I was receiving treatment so I’d be ready to go, which was truly the case. I can’t read minds. I have no idea what their thought process was.” Related When the Als changed their ratio, going with two import offensive tackles, management decided defensive-tackle would become a Canadian position. Reed signed Keith Shologan, Jabar Westerman and Don Oramasionwu. The latter was released before camp only to return before the regular-season opener. “Plans change, I guess,” Klassen said. “Maybe when the decision process came down to it, they needed to get rid of a couple. We all were probably getting pretty good money. I guess I was one of distraught. I was trying to convince (Reed) to give me a chance. What could I do to prove I was healthy? The decision was made there and then, Friday night.” Klassenampeders on the injured list before making his debut last Friday, against Winnipeg. He produced three defensive tackles against the Blue Bombers. hzurkowsky@postmedia.com twitter.com/HerbZurkowsky1
Novelist Alexander Chee confessed in an interview in late December that his favorite place to write is on a train. The author of The Queen of the Night and Edinburgh mused to PenAmerica, “I wish Amtrak had residencies for writers.” He soon found he wasn’t alone. New York City-based writer Jessica Gross seconded the idea, and tweeted at Amtrak. How much momentum do we have to gain for this to become real, @Amtrak? @zseward — Jessica Gross (@jessicagross) December 26, 2013 Surprisingly, the tweet actually caught Amtrak’s attention. The romantic work of writing seems a perfect match for the old-world method of travel. Outside the bustling hubs of activity around New York City and Washington D.C., train travel becomes less about the daily rigors of commuting. Out under the open skies of the Midwest, the prairie and mountain states, rail travelers get a panoramic view of the American landscape. They chug passed soccer moms picking up dry cleaning in the suburbs and through sleepy mining towns untouched by time except for the decay. Later they might look up from their keyboards to find themselves surrounded by acres and acres of perfectly tended corn, or wind-swept fields dotted with cows. Each scene, each curious nugget of someone else’s life, bubbles with narrative possibilities. Travel by car and you’re tethered to the wheel. Your mind can wander only to the extent that you can still brake for a stop sign. And flying fails to give you time, proximity, and, frankly, the elbow room, to ferment an idea or character arch. But train travel lends itself to work and to daydreams, and to the imagining of richer verbs. That’s why Gross jumped at the chance when Amtrak offered her a free test trip traveling from New York City to Chicago. She spent 44 hours on the trip there and back and later published a story about the journey in The Paris Review. In a follow-up interview with Gross published by Amtrak’s blog (part of the deal for the free trip), she suggested other writers give working by train a try. “Don’t be too ambitious with what you plan to get done: Allow for time spent gazing out the window, letting ideas work themselves out in your mind. It’s that kind of deep thinking that the train is particularly good for, and that can be more difficult to achieve in the interstices of busy day-to-day life,” Gross said. Thanks to her tweet, that may become possible for even more writers. Amtrak appears to be moving forward with its preliminary writer-in-residence program, offering a trip to the man who started the conversation. I can announce my @Amtrak writer’s residency dream came true, thanks to them– am set for a trip from NYC-Portland, OR in mid-May. — Alexander Chee (@alexanderchee) February 19, 2014 While the writers involved in the budding partnership are thrilled, Amtrak is also soaking up a great deal of good will as a result. We are thrilled by the response surrounding #AmtrakResidency. We’ll keep you posted w/details. In the meantime, we love hearing from you! — Amtrak (@Amtrak) February 22, 2014 H/T The Wire | Photo by Gene Bowker/Flickr (CC BY-ND 2.0)

Novelist Alexander Chee confessed in an interview in late December that his favorite place to write is on a train. The author of The Queen of the Night and Edinburgh mused to PenAmerica, “I wish Amtrak had residencies for writers.” He soon found he wasn’t alone. New York City-based writer Jessica Gross seconded the idea, and tweeted at Amtrak. How much momentum do we have to gain for this to become real, @Amtrak? @zseward — Jessica Gross (@jessicagross) December 26, 2013 Surprisingly, the tweet actually caught Amtrak’s attention. The romantic work of writing seems a perfect match for the old-world method of travel. Outside the bustling hubs of activity around New York City and Washington D.C., train travel, the prairie and mountain states, rail travelers get a panoramic view of the American landscape. They chug passed soccer moms picking up dry cleaning in the suburbs and through sleepy mining towns untouched by time except for the decay. Later they might look up from their keyboards to find themselves surrounded by acres and acres of perfectly tended corn, or wind-swept fields dotted with cows. Each scene, each curious nugget of someone else’s life, bubbles with narrative possibilities. Travel by car and you’re tethered to the wheel. Your mind can wander only to the extent that you can still brake for a stop sign. And flying fails to give you time, proximity, and, frankly, the elbow room, to ferment an idea or character arch. But train travel lends itself to work and to daydreams, and to the imagining of richer verbs. That’s why Gross jumped at the chance when Amtrak offered her a free test trip traveling from New York City to Chicago. She spent 44 hours on the trip there and back and later published a story about the journey in The Paris Review. In a follow-up interview with Gross published by Amtrak’s blog (part of the deal for the free trip), she suggested other writers give working by train a try. “Don’t be too ambitious with what you plan to get done: Allow for time spent gazing out the window, letting ideas work themselves out in your mind. It’s that kind of deep thinking that the train is particularly good for, and that can be more difficult to achieve in the interstices of busy day-to-day life,” Gross said. Thanks to her tweet, that may become possible for even more writers. Amtrak appears to be moving forward with its preliminary writer-in-residence program, I can announce my @Amtrak writer’s residency dream came true, thanks to them– am set for a trip from NYC-Portland, OR in mid-May. — Alexander Chee (@alexanderchee) February 19, 2014 While the writers involved in the budding partnership are thrilled, Amtrak is also soaking up a great deal of good will as a result. We are thrilled by the response surrounding #AmtrakResidency. We’ll keep you posted w/details. In the meantime, we love hearing from you! — Amtrak (@Amtrak) February 22, 2014 H/T The Wire | Photo by Gene Bowker/Flickr (CC BY-ND 2.0)
The God-game genre is built around putting players in a powerful position and giving them control over a vast environment of some sort, some examples including Viva Pinata and From Dust. From a divine or supernatural perspective, players give instruction and/or exhibit influence over a simulated ecosystem that is largely autonomous. Virtual reality has the potential to change how we interact with each gaming genre and Expanses is an example of this, providing an evolving world that is shaped by our gaze. Expanses is described as a narrative adventure where players explore 3 different environments (called expanses) as they attempt to restore them to the lush habitats they once were. Instead of just being let loose to manipulate things with no particular guide, each area is anchored by a specific element and there are missions that you’ll undertake on the path to discovering that element. There are a few ways that you’ll be able to influence your surroundingss: Moving and destroying objects, shifting between animals, and terraforming. While these direct interactions would normally move you away from a more hands-off influence of God games, the manner by which you complete these tasks makes it seem as if you, the player, are an ever-present deity. In Expanses, all player interaction is managed by vision. With absolutely no controller input, you move in a first-person perspective and your focused gaze determines how you interface with the game. Primary – On this level things react to your gaze by trembling, showing just what can be interacted with. Central – Whatever you’re focused on interacts back with you and moves into the Maximum focus zone. Maximum – You directly control the object with its mass, size, form, and distance from the player changing that interaction. Essentially, there’s a circular reticle of influence at the center of your vision when playing the game. Divide that into three layers and, the closer the subject gets to the center, the more direct the interaction. In the Maximum interaction zone, you’ll have to focus a bit longer on objects you want to move the larger they are. As far as changing how much of the world you see at once, it’d benefit you to switch to an animal with a higher point of view to change larger things and then go down closer to the ground for the finer details. “Gamers are used to all trivial controllers: from the classic joystick to racing wheels and elaborate joypads,” says Albert Idrisov, Shuographics’ marketing and business development manager, via email. “These are not for us. We’ve decided to move away from all classic forms of game control and propose something new because VR – it’s the future. We didn’t want to use something from the past. We see ourselves as pioneers, introducing a new type of technology.” Expanses is an intriguing concept even without the unique input style, but that input may be what makes or breaks the game. With such a focus on just using the headset, it’s an open question whether it could deter people from playing the game for very long and limit the experience. Luckily, it’s coming to Samsung Gear VR, one of the more comfortable devices on the market, and Google Daydream which has a cozy design too. The game is a means for Shuographics to bring attention to environmental issues in their own way as well, so the hope is that the combination of all these elements will inspire people to contribute to the Kickstarter, which goes live November 16th, 2016.

The God-game genre is built around putting players in a powerful position and giving them control over a vast environment of some sort, some examples including Viva Pinata and From Dust. From a divine or supernatural perspective, players give instruction and/or exhibit influence over a simulated ecosystem that is largely autonomous. Virtual reality has the potential to change how we interact with each gaming genre and Expanses is an example of this, providing an evolving world that is shaped by our gaze. Expanses is described as a narrative adventure where players explore 3 different environments (called expanses) as they attempt to restore them to the lush habitats they once were. Instead of just being let loose to manipulate things with no particular guide, each area is anchored by a specific element and there are missions that you’ll undertake on the path to discovering that element. There are a few ways that you’ll be able to influence your surroundingss: Moving and destroying objects, shifting between animals, and terraforming. While these direct interactions would normally move you away from a more hands-off influence of God games, the manner by which you complete these tasks makes it seem as if you, the player, are an ever-present deity. In Expanses, all player interaction is managed by vision. With absolutely no controller input, you move in a first-person perspective and your focused gaze determines how you interface with the game. Primary – On this level things react to your gaze by trembling, showing just what can be interacted with. Central – Whatever you’re focused on interacts back with you and moves into the Maximum focus zone. Maximum – You directly control the object with its mass, size, form, and distance from the player changing that interaction. Essentially, there’s a circular reticle of influence at the center of your vision when playing the game. Divide that into three layers and, the closer the subject gets to the center, the more direct the interaction. In the Maximum interaction zone, you’ll have to focus a bit longer on objects you want to move the larger they are. As far as changing how much of the world you see at once, it’d benefit you to switch to an animal with a higher point of view to change larger things and then go down closer to the ground for the finer details. “Gamers are used to all trivial controllers: from the classic joystick to racing wheels and says Albert Idrisov, Shuographics’ marketing and business development manager, via email. “These are not for us. We’ve decided to move away from all classic forms of game control and propose something new because VR – it’s the future. We didn’t want to use something from the past. We see ourselves as pioneers, introducing a new type of technology.” Expanses is an intriguing concept even without the unique input style, the game. With such a focus on just using the headset, it’s an open question whether it could deter people from playing the game for very long and limit the experience. Luckily, it’s coming to Samsung Gear VR, one of the more comfortable devices on the market, and Google Daydream which has a cozy design too. The game is a means for Shuographics to bring attention to environmental issues in their own way as well, so the hope is that the combination of all these elements will inspire people to contribute to the Kickstarter, which goes live November 16th, 2016.

The Orlando Magic will not hold their annual summer league in Orlando next year and will participate instead in the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, team officials told the Orlando Sentinel. The decision is a radical departure for the Magic, who ran and managed their own summer league in Central Florida 14 times since 2002. But the decision also doesn’t impact Magic fans who are based in Orlando because the Orlando Pro Summer League was closed to the public. The only way fans could watch the games was to tune in on TV. NBA Summer League games in Las Vegas are held in two adjoining arenas on the UNLV campus, the Thomas & Mack Center and Cox Pavilion. “The pendulum is swinging toward teams playing in Vegas,” Magic president of basketball operations Jeff Weltman said. “It’s a level of competition and a level of exposure when more or less every team in the league is there and you’re playing in front of 20,000 people as opposed to playing in a gym with a few hundred people. So it better prepares you for what NBA life is really about with the crowds, the pressure, the travel — a lot of what you’re going to have to confront. Obviously, it’s not a true test of an NBA season, but it’s a little taste.” Twenty-four teams participated in the NBA Summer League this past summer. Each team had three preliminary games followed by a tournament with seedings based on the preliminary games’ results. Teams in Las Vegas played a minimum of five games overall. Meanwhile, eight teams participated in the Orlando Pro Summer League this year and played five games apiece. In addition to the Magic, the other teams were the Charlotte Hornets, Dallas Mavericks, Detroit Pistons, Indiana Pacers, Miami Heat, New York Knicks and Oklahoma City Thunder. NBA officials prefer to have all 30 teams participate in the Las Vegas event. “We want to do what’s right for the team, for our players,” Weltman said. “But that being said, when the large portion of the league is there [in Las Vegas], it does kind of create an environment where you want your young guys to be a part of what the league is about. So there is that added component.” The Utah Jazz also have their own summer league, with games held prior to the NBA Summer League. But Weltman said the Magic have no plans to participate in Utah’s league. The Magic made no money from their own league, but they will incur some added expense playing in Vegas, including air travel and hotel stays. “We’re fortunate enough to work for an organization where what’s best for our team and what’s best for our players comes first,” Weltman said. “And so, obviously, there are expenses to put on the league here. There are expenses to fly the team to Vegas and play there. But, honestly, we’re just lucky to be working somewhere where that’s secondary to what’s best for our team and best for the development of our players.” Special guest The Orlando Magic Dancers had a special guest as the Magic hosted the Jazz on Saturday at Amway Center. Maggie Scurlock, an 8-year-old who has Down syndrome, spent the day with the Magic Dancers, practiced with the dance team, attended the final rehearsal and had dinner with the group. The nonprofit Dream On 3 links children who have life-altering conditions, chronic illnesses and developmental disabilities with their favorite athletes, sporting event or sports team. Dream on 3 helped arrange Maggie’s visit. jrobbins@orlandosentinel.com. Read his blog at OrlandoSentinel.com/magicblog and follow him on Twitter at @JoshuaBRobbins.

The Orlando Magic will not hold their annual summer league in Orlando next year and will participate instead in the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, team officials told the Orlando Sentinel. The decision is a radical departure for the Magic, who ran and managed their own summer league in Central Florida 14 times since 2002. But the decision also doesn’t impact Magic fans who are based in Orlando because the Orlando Pro Summer League was closed to the public. The only way fans could watch the games was to tune in on TV. NBA Summer League games in Las Vegas are held in two adjoining arenas on the UNLV campus, the Thomas & Mack Center and Cox Pavilion. “The pendulum is swinging toward teams playing in Vegas,” Magic president of basketball operations Jeff Weltman said. “It’s a level of competition and a level of exposure when more or less every team in the league is there and you’re playing in front of 20,000 people as opposed to playing in a gym with a few hundred people. So it better prepares you for what NBA life is really about with the crowds, the pressure, the travel — a lot of what you’re going to have to confront. Obviously, it’s not a true test of an NBA season, but it’s a little taste.” Twenty-four teams participated in the NBA Summer League this past summer. Each team had three preliminary games followed by a tournament with seedings based on the preliminary games’ results. Teams in Las Vegas played a minimum of five games overall. Meanwhile, eight teams participated in the Orlando Pro Summer League this year and played five games apiece. In addition to the Magic, the other teams were the Charlotte Hornets, Dallas Mavericks, Detroit Pistons, Indiana Pacers, Miami Heat, New York Knicks and Oklahoma City Thunder. NBA officials prefer to have all 30 teams participate in the Las Vegas event. “We want to do what’s right for the team, for our players,” Weltman said. “But that being said, when the large portion of the league is there [in Las Vegas an environment where you want your young guys to be a part of what the league is about. So there is that added component.” The Utah Jazz also have their own summer league, with games held prior to the NBA Summer League. But Weltman said the Magic have no plans to participate in Utah’s league. The Magic made no money from their own league, but they will incur some added expense playing in Vegas, including air travel and hotel stays. “We’re fortunate enough to work for an organization where what’s best for our team and what’s best for our players comes first,” Weltman said. “And so, obviously, there are expenses to put on the league here. There are expenses to fly the team to Vegas and play there. But, honestly, we’re just lucky to be working somewhere where that’s secondary to what’s best for our team and best for the development of our players.” Special guest The Orlando Magic Dancers had a special guest as the Magic hosted the Jazz on Saturday at Amway Center. Maggie Scurlock, an 8-year-old who hasancers, practiced with the dance team, attended the final rehearsal and had dinner with the group. The nonprofit Dream On 3 links children who have life-altering conditions, chronic illnesses and developmental disabilities with their favorite athletes, sporting event or sports team. Dream on 3 helped arrange Maggie’s visit. jrobbins@orlandosentinel.com. Read his blog at OrlandoSentinel.com/magicblog and follow him on Twitter at @JoshuaBRobbins.
Donald Trump's airstrike on al-Shayrat military airfield in Syria was met with a heavy dose of skepticism in MSNBC's newsroom. Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel called the strike the "least amount (Trump) could do that has a complete narrative," while Chris Matthews speculated that the strike was designed to "kill the narrative that he's in bed with Putin." Following a period of chaos and uncertainty, Donald Trump ordered an airstrike of 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles on al-Shayrat military airfield in Syria, in response to the chemical weapons attack on civilians in Idlib. The Pentagon has confirmed that Russian forces in the area were warned of the strike ahead of time. As details of the strike were still unfolding, MSNBC Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel delivered a clear-eyed and skeptical assessment of the strike, which focused on a single airbase, from which the chemical attacks were allegedly launched. Engel called the attack a “slap on the wrist” and added that concern over “narrative” colored the response: But what [Trump] did, it seems, he picked the least amount he could do that has a complete narrative. Hit the base where the attack was launched, and leave it at that. MSNBC anchor Brian William broached the subject of optics with Hardball host Chris Matthews, who took a far more cynical approach to the subject, speculating that the strike may have been designed to quell the domestic political problems that Russia presents to Trump as questions emerge about Trump’s possible collusion with Russia during the 2016 election: WILLIAMS: The optics of everything vis-a-vis Russia? How soon until we read someone saying obviously we didn’t mind taking a swing at that bee’s nest, that no fix was in prior to this? MATTHEWS: That’s what I was thinking all day because I think like that, and maybe it’s cynicism. But I thought if there was a way for him to kill the narrative that he’s in bed with Putin, it would be this. Take on Putin’s fresh water port, take on his ally, his satellite, his loyal ally Assad. That would be a way of saying, “I never was in bed with these guys. I never planned any kind of coalition with this guy in Moscow.” You’re right, I was thinking of it. Who knows? We’ll find out. It certainly isn’t going to go well with Putin, unless we find out they had a phone call this afternoon and worked this thing out, and it was a set piece that was not meant to be particularly antagonistic to Moscow. Williams: A bunch of cynics in the political business, right? Of course, given the evidence of back-channels to Russia, we might never see an official read out on a call between the United States and Russia about the planned airstrike. Accusations of using foreign military action to solve domestic political problems are a well-worn political trope, one that was even employed against President Obama by a prominent critic in 2012: Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin – watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 9, 2012 In 2013, Trump also issued a bit of advice to then-President Obama, who was preparing to ask Congress to authorize military action against Syria in response to chemical attacks: The President must get Congressional approval before attacking Syria-big mistake if he does not! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 30, 2013 As president, Trump ignored his own advice and launched the cruise missile strike without seeking authorization from Congress. Time will tell if Republicans will stand with Democrats to demand a say in any future military action against Syria, as they demanded of President Obama — and as the Constitution says they must. var axel = Math.random() + ""; var a = axel * 10000000000000; document.write(' ');

Donald Trump's airstrike on al-Shayrat military airfield in Syria was met with a heavy dose of skepticism in MSNBC's newsroom. Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel called the strike the "least amount (Trump) could do that has a complete narrative," while Chris Matthews speculated that the strike was designed to "kill the narrative that he's in bed with Putin." Following a period of chaos and uncertainty, Donald Trump ordered an airstrike of 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles on al-Shayrat military airfield in Syria, in response to the chemical weapons attack on civilians in Idlib. The Pentagon has confirmed that Russian forces in the area were warned of the strike ahead of time. As details of the strike were still unfolding, MSNBC Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel delivered a clear-eyed and skeptical assessment of the strike, which focused on a single airbase, from which the chemical attacks were allegedly launched. Engel called the attack a “slap on the wrist” and added that concern over “narrative” colored the response: picked the least amount he could do that has a complete narrative. Hit the base where the attack was launched, and leave it at that. MSNBC anchor Brian William broached the subject of optics with Hardball host Chris Matthews, who took a far more cynical approach to the subject, speculating that the strike may have been designed to quell the domestic political problems that Russia presents to Trump as questions emerge about Trump’s possible collusion with Russia during the 2016 election: WILLIAMS: The optics of everything vis-a-vis Russia? How soon until we read someone saying obviously we didn’t mind taking a swing at that bee’s nest, that no fix was in prior to this? MATTHEWS: That’s what I was thinking all day because I think like that, and maybe it’s cynicism. But I thought if there was a way for him to kill the narrative that he’s in bed with Putin, it would be this. Take on Putin’s fresh water port, take on his ally, his satellite, his loyal ally Assad. That would be a way of saying, “I never was in bed with these guys. I never planned any kind of coalition with this guy in Moscow.” You’re right, I was thinking of it. Who knows? We’ll find out. It certainly isn’t going to go well with Putin, unless we find out they had a phone call this afternoon and worked this thing out, and it was a set piece that was not meant to be particularly antagonistic to Moscow. Williams: A bunch of cynics in course, given the evidence of back-channels to Russia, we might never see an official read out on a call between the United States and Russia about the planned airstrike. Accusations of using foreign military action to solve domestic political problems are a well-worn political trope, one that was even employed against President Obama by a prominent critic in 2012: Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin – watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 9, 2012 In 2013, Trump also issued a bit of advice to then-President Obama, who was preparing to ask Congress to authorize military action against Syria in response to chemical attacks: The President must get Congressional approval before attacking Syria-big mistake if he does not! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 30, 2013 As president, Trump ignored his own advice and launched the cruise missile strike without seeking authorization from Congress. Time will tell if Republicans will stand with Democrats to demand a say in any future military action against Syria, as they demanded of President Obama — and as the Constitution says they must. var axel = Math.random() + ""; var a = axel * 10000000000000; document.write(' ');
ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Green Bay Packers sound sold on keeping Matt Flynn around to back up Aaron Rodgers. Coach Mike McCarthy told reporters Tuesday at the NFL Annual Meeting that the team wants to re-sign Flynn, according to Mike Vandermause of the Green Bay Press-Gazette. NFL Bracketology Vote for the greatest QB of all time: NFL.com asks fans for their votes, starting with 32 QBs from four different eras of NFL history. Vote now! McCarthy said he felt "great respect and admiration" for the 28-year-old journeyman who played in five games for the Packers after being released by both the Oakland Raiders and Buffalo Bills during a rocky sixth season in the NFL. Flynn finished 2-2-1 in place of the injured Rodgers, exhibiting streaky play from wire to wire. The Packers are fond of Flynn because he knows McCarthy's offense well after a previous stint with the team from 2008-11. The coach also told reporters he'd like to keep three passers on the 53-man roster come September, presumably good news for under-contract Scott Tolzien. We had Green Bay pegged as a potential landing spot for Mark Sanchez, but cross the former Jet off the list. This is Flynn's world now. The latest "Around The League Podcast" broke down all the latest news at the NFL Annual Meeting.

Standing the Watch: Everyone Counts In Homeland Security TheWatch Blocked Unblock Follow Following Apr 30, 2016 The Coast Guard cutter was on a law enforcement patrol in the northern part of the Mona Passage — the ocean strait separating Puerto Rico from the Dominican Republic. The sea was more or less calm with swells less than a foot. A refreshing Caribbean wind blew through the pilot house keeping us bridge watch standers delightfully cool. A floating blanket of clouds blocked out the moon making it hard to see far into the night. A quiet voice filled with doubt and hesitation broke the silence. It was the lookout — one of the cuter’s most experienced seaman. “Sir — there might be something off of the starboard bow. I saw it once and am having trouble finding it again.” I acknowledged his report. I and other bridge watch standers quickly scanned the area off the starboard bow with our binoculars. Nothing….. I checked the ship’s radar. No blips….. I called the Combat Information Center and asked them to check their radar screens- No contacts……. I visually scanned the area again and rechecked the radar. Again Nothing…. After gathering my thoughts, I called the Captain who was asleep in his cabin. “Good morning Captain — it is 2 a.m. The lookout has reported a contact off the starboard bow. The bridge crew cannot visually confirm anything there. We do not have any radar contacts. I recommend we come right 15 degrees to a course of 000 to investigate.” The captain replied “Sounds good — I will be coming up to the bridge shortly.” “Yes sir” I replied and then gave the order “Helmsman come right 15 degree steady-up on course 000.” Less than a minute passed and helmsman reported “Steady on course 000.” “Roger” I replied. We slowly sailed forward in the darkness, scouring the sea with our eyes when the lookout excitedly reported, “Sir there is something in front of us. Permission to turn on the spotlight.” “Yes” — I replied. Suddenly a ray of light streamed from the top of the pilot house over the bow and down to the ocean. Instantly, a white billowing object began emerging from the darkness … about five hundred yards ahead off the starboard bow. What is it?… I thought for a second. “It is extremely close. Helmsman all stop!” I commanded. All at once, we heard a multitude of voices. It was a sail boat riding extremely low in the water and filled with more people than I could count. These people had a high likelihood of dying if they continued on their voyage. I called the captain. “Sir, I believe we have found a migrant vessel heading from the Dominican Republic to Puerto Rico. It is full of people.” The captain replied — “I was getting ready to call you. Get the rest of the crew up. Set the Migrant Interdiction Bill.” We spent the rest of the morning transferring the migrants from their overloaded vessel. It turns out they had been at sea for days and had run out of food and water. They were in trouble and some would have perished at sea if we had not found them. We spent the rest of the day working with U.S. immigration officials determining how these migrants would be processed. I often think about that night. The lookout to me was the night’s hero. He was one of the cutter’s lowest ranking crew members. His eyes and not the cutter’s sophisticated radars found the migrants. He decided to make his report despite not being completely sure of himself and it made all the difference. There are people still alive because of his initiative. The lookout report speaks to a bigger challenge we face as Americans. Homeland Security is an all hands affair. We cannot truly succeed if we are not looking out for each other. If we see something, we need to say say something in order to prevent harm to our communities, friends, and family. The Watch — Keeping an Eye on Homeland Security

Standing the Watch: Everyone Counts In Homeland Security TheWatch Blocked Unblock Follow Following Apr 30, 2016 The Coast Guard cutter was on a law enforcement patrol in the northern part of the Mona Passage — the ocean strait separating Puerto Rico from the Dominican Republic. The sea was more or less calm with swells less than a foot. A refreshing Caribbean wind blew through the pilot house keeping us bridge watch standers delightfully cool. A floating blanket of clouds blocked out the moon making it hard to see far into the night. A quiet voice filled with doubt and hesitation broke the silence. It was the lookout — one of the cuter’s most experienced seaman. “Sir — there might be something off of the starboard bow. I saw it once and am having trouble finding it again.” I acknowledged his report. I and other bridge watch standers quickly scanned the area off the starboard bow with our binoculars. Nothing….. I checked the ship’s radar. No blips….. I called the Combat Information Center and asked them to check their radar screens- No contacts……. I visually scanned the area again and rechecked the radar. Again Nothing…. After gathering my thoughts, I called the Captain who was asleep in his cabin. “Good morning Captain — it is 2 a.m. The lookout has reported a contact off the starboard bow. The bridge crew come right 15 degrees to a course of 000 to investigate.” The captain replied “Sounds good — I will be coming up to the bridge shortly.” “Yes sir” I replied and then gave the order “Helmsman come right 15 degree steady-up on course 000.” Less than a minute passed and helmsman reported “Steady on course 000.” “Roger” I replied. We slowly sailed forward in the darkness, scouring the sea with our eyes when the lookout excitedly reported, “Sir there is something in front of us. Permission to turn on the spotlight.” “Yes” — I replied. Suddenly a ray of light streamed from the top of the pilot house over the bow and down to the ocean. Instantly, a white billowing object began emerging from the darkness … about five hundred yards ahead off the starboard bow. What is it?… I thought for a second. “It is extremely close. Helmsman all stop!” I commanded. All at once, we heard a multitude of voices. It was a sail boat riding extremely low in the water and filled with more people than I could count. These people had a high likelihood of dying if they continued on their voyage. I called the captain. “Sir, I believe we have found a migrant vessel heading from the Dominican Republic to Puerto Rico. It is full of people.” The captain replied — “I was getting ready to call you. Get the rest of the crew up. Set the Migrant Interdiction Bill.” We spent the rest of the morning transferring the migrants from their overloaded vessel. It turns out they had been at sea for days and had run out of food and water. They were in trouble and some would have perished at sea if we had not found them. We spent the rest ofI often think about that night. The lookout to me was the night’s hero. He was one of the cutter’s lowest ranking crew members. His eyes and not the cutter’s sophisticated radars found the migrants. He decided to make his report despite not being completely sure of himself and it made all the difference. There are people still alive because of his initiative. The lookout report speaks to a bigger challenge we face as Americans. Homeland Security is an all hands affair. We cannot truly succeed if we are not looking out for each other. If we see something, we need to say say something in order to prevent harm to our communities, friends, and family. The Watch — Keeping an Eye on Homeland Security
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, June 3 -- President Obama began his Middle East trip Wednesday here in "the place where Islam began" as the administration took extraordinary steps to make sure his speech in Cairo on Thursday is heard around the world, including offering instant text-messaging of the address in four languages, creating special links on popular social networking sites, and facilitating its live broadcast on national television networks. As Obama arrived in this desert capital, senior U.S. officials said the president will discuss Muslim and American misperceptions and specific policies on both sides that have undermined relations. "There has been a breach, an undeniable breach between America and the Islamic world, and that breach has been years in the making," said David Axelrod, a senior adviser to Obama. "It is not going to be reversed in one speech. It is not going to be reversed perhaps in one administration. But the president is a strong believer in open, honest dialogue." The attention surrounding Obama's address and his first visit to Saudi Arabia was underscored Wednesday by a pair of messages from Osama bin Laden and his Egyptian deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri. Shortly after Obama landed here, the Arab satellite network al-Jazeera aired an audiotape of bin Laden sharply criticizing U.S. policy in Pakistan and accusing Obama of planting seeds for "revenge and hatred" in the Muslim world. The message said Obama is following President George W. Bush's policy of "antagonizing Muslims," and bin Laden warned Americans of "consequences" to come. U.S. officials did not dispute the tape's authenticity even though bin Laden, once a Saudi citizen, has not been seen for years. A day earlier, Zawahiri urged Egyptians to shun Obama during his visit, saying his trip was at the invitation of the "torturers of Egypt" and the "slaves of America." Zawahiri, a doctor by training, was imprisoned in Egypt for his radical Islamist political beliefs until 1984. Briefing reporters here, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said, "I don't think it's surprising that al-Qaeda would want to shift attention away from the president's historic efforts and continued efforts to reach out and have an open dialogue with the Muslim world." "I think Americans have seen these types of threats before," said Gibbs, who called it "an effort to upstage and to try to become a part of a story seeking a different way." Saudi Arabia's oil wealth and supreme importance to Muslims as the site of Mecca and Medina have long made it a major player in Middle East diplomacy, and Obama arrived as he is seeking early progress on Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts and in curbing Iran's nuclear program. At a tarmac welcoming ceremony, Obama was met by King Abdullah, the 84-year-old Saudi leader. The leaders then headed to Abdullah's farm at Jenadriyah, not far from Riyadh, for meetings. Obama noted that he "thought it was very important to come to the place where Islam began and to seek His Majesty's counsel and to discuss with him many of the issues that we confront here in the Middle East." In a statement, the White House said the leaders discussed Iran's nuclear program, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and Obama's impending speech. In recent years, Abdullah has asserted Saudi diplomacy aggressively in Lebanon and in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He was the first to propose broad Arab recognition of Israel in return for its withdrawal from all territory occupied in the 1967 Middle East War, and he has sought in the past to broker unity government agreements between rival Palestinian factions Hamas and Fatah. Obama has suggested that Abdullah's peace proposal, adopted by the Arab League in 2002 and now known as the Arab Peace Initiative, might serve as a way to revive talks between Israelis, Palestinians and Arab countries, only two of which now recognize the Jewish state. For the Thursday speech, Gibbs said the State Department is offering highlights via text message in Urdu, Farsi, Arabic and English, allowing people to receive the speech in real time and comment on it. The White House Web site will carry it live, and transcripts will be available in 13 languages.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, June 3 -- President Obama began his Middle East trip Wednesday here in "the place where Islam began" as the administration took extraordinary steps to make sure his speech in Cairo on Thursday is heard around the world, including offering instant text-messaging of the address in four languages, and facilitating its live broadcast on national television networks. As Obama arrived in this desert capital, senior U.S. officials said the president will discuss Muslim and American misperceptions and specific policies on both sides that have undermined relations. "There has been a breach, an undeniable breach between America and the Islamic world, and that breach has been years in the making," said David Axelrod, a senior adviser to Obama. "It is not going to be reversed in one speech. It is not going to be reversed perhaps in one administration. But the president is a strong believer in open, honest dialogue." The attention surrounding Obama's address and his first visit to Saudi Arabia was underscored Wednesday by a pair of messages from Osama bin Laden and his Egyptian deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri. Shortly after Obama landed here, the Arab satellite network al-Jazeera aired an audiotape of bin Laden sharply criticizing U.S. policy in Pakistan and accusing Obama of planting seeds for "revenge and hatred" in the Muslim world. The message said Obama is following President George W. Bush's policy of "antagonizing Muslims," and bin Laden warned Americans of "consequences" to come. U.S citizen, has not been seen for years. A day earlier, Zawahiri urged Egyptians to shun Obama during his visit, saying his trip was at the invitation of the "torturers of Egypt" and the "slaves of America." Zawahiri, a doctor by training, was imprisoned in Egypt for his radical Islamist political beliefs until 1984. Briefing reporters here, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said, "I don't think it's surprising that al-Qaeda would want to shift attention away from the president's historic efforts and continued efforts to reach out and have an open dialogue with the Muslim world." "I think Americans have seen these types of threats before," said Gibbs, who called it "an effort to upstage and to try to become a part of a story seeking a different way." Saudi Arabia's oil wealth and supreme importance to Muslims as the site of Mecca and Medina have long made it a major player in Middle East diplomacy, and Obama arrived as he is seeking early progress on Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts and in curbing Iran's nuclear program. At a tarmac welcoming ceremony, Obama was met by King Abdullah, the 84-year-old Saudi leader. The leaders then headed to Abdullah's farm at Jenadriyah, not far from Riyadh, for meetings. Obama noted that he "thought it was very important to come to the place where Islam began and to seek His Majesty's counsel and to discuss with him many of the issues that we confront here in the Middle East." In a statement, the White House said the leaders discussed Iran's nuclear program, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and Obama's impending speech. In recent years, Abdullah has asserted Saudi diplomacy aggressively in Lebanon and in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He was the first to propose broad Arab recognition of Israel in return for its withdrawal from all territory occupied in the 1967 Middle East War, and he has sought in the past to broker unity government agreements between rival Palestinian factions Hamas and Fatah. Obama has suggested that Abdullah's peace proposal, adopted by the Arab League in 2002 and now known as the Arab Peace Initiative, might serve as a way to revive talks between Israelis, Palestinians and Arab countries, only two of which now recognize the Jewish state. For the Thursday speech, Gibbs said the State Department is offering highlights via text message in Urdu, Farsi, Arabic and English, allowing people to receive the speech in real time and comment on it. The White House Web site will carry it live, and transcripts will be available in 13 languages.
Finally acting on an old idea, I committed an update to ConcurrentHashMap (currently only the one in our jdk8 preview package, as jsr166e.ConcurrentHashMap8) that much more gracefully handles maps that are huge or have many keys with colliding hash codes. Internally, it uses tree-map-like structures to maintain bins containing more nodes than would be expected under ideal random key distributions over ideal numbers of bins. Among other things, this provides graceful (O log(N)) degradation when there are more than about a billion elements (which run out of 32bit hash resolution and array bound limits). However, the map can only do so if keys are Comparable, which is true of most keys in practice -- Strings, Longs, etc. Without relying on Comparable, we can't otherwise magically find any other means to further resolve and organize keys after running out of bits, so performance for non-Comparable keys is unaffected/unimproved. This also provides a mechanism for coping with hostile usages in which many keys (Strings in particular) are somehow constructed to have the same hashCode, which can lead to algorithmic denial of service attacks (because of linear-time bin searches) if code using the map don't screen external inputs. The overflow-tree-based strategy here is an alternative approach to adding secondary randomly-seeded hash code methods ("hash32") to class String, as has been committed recently to OpenJDK. But ConcurrentHashMap8 doesn't doesn't rely on this. The use of overflow-bins also allowed a few other minor speedups in more typical usages. A few more small improvements are still left unfinished for now. (I'll be traveling and/or otherwise committed for most of the next few weeks.)

Finally acting on an old idea, I committed an update to ConcurrentHashMap (currently only the one in our jdk8 preview package, as jsr166e.ConcurrentHashMap8) that much more gracefully handles maps that are huge or have many keys with colliding hash containing more nodes than would be expected under ideal random key distributions over ideal numbers of bins. Among other things, this provides graceful (O log(N)) degradation when there are more than about a billion elements (which run out of 32bit hash resolution and array bound limits). However, the Strings, Longs, etc. Without relying on Comparable, we can't otherwise magically find any other means to further resolve and organize keys after running out of bits, so performance for non-Comparable keys is unaffected/unimproved. This also provides a mechanism for coping with hostile usages in which many keys (Strings in particular) are somehow constructed to have the same hashCode, which can lead to algorithmic denial of service attacks (because of linear-time bin searches) if code using the map don't screen external inputs. The overflow-tree-based strategy here is an alternative approach to adding secondary randomly-seeded hash code methods ("hash32") to class String, as has been committed recently to OpenJDK. But ConcurrentHashMap8 doesn't doesn't rely on this. The use of overflow-bins also allowed a few other minor speedups in more typical usages. A few more small improvements are still left unfinished for now. (I'll be traveling and/or otherwise committed for most of the next few weeks.)

0 SHARES Facebook Twitter Google Whatsapp Pinterest Print Mail Flipboard Future 2012 GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney was on NBC’s Meet The Press today, where he blamed the excesses of government for the budget deficit, and overpaid government workers. Specifically, Romney said, “Average government workers, are now making $30,000 a year more than the average private sector worker.” Here is the video: Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy Romney said, “We can compete around the world, there’s no question about that, David. We have the capacity to do that. The American workers are the best in the world, our technology is at the leading edge. America, long term, can be the, the powerful economic engine it’s always been. But the real threat right here is something that Alan Greenspan just said, and that is that if we don’t take action to rein in the scale of government and the growth of government spending and the compensation levels of government workers–you saw government workers, average government workers, are now making $30,000 a year more than the average private sector worker.” He continued, “These kinds of excesses and the massive deficits that, that, that government is putting in place, over a trillion dollars a year for these coming several years, this threatens our long-term viability, because it, it, it suggests that we could have runaway inflation. And, and the Fed and the federal government are going to have to rein in, pull back from what have been the excesses of these past years, Republican and Democrat. It’s not a partisan issue, it’s a growth of government issue. And it’s got to stop, or America’s future could be very much in jeopardy.” It is clear that attacking Washington is going to be the centerpiece of Romney’s 2012 campaign. The problem for him is that every non-incumbent candidate attacks Washington with the same generic language. When he brought up government workers, he was trying to play into the stereotype that public sector workers are overpaid and lazy. Romney’s suggestion that public sector employees’ salaries have something to do with the budget deficit is absurd. If government workers are overpaid that why can’t governments at all levels attract and keep top talent? In almost all specialized fields the public sector acts as a training program for the private sector. The reality is that discretionary spending, which is the part of the budget that the government can cut, makes up only one third of the total budget. The other two thirds are mandatory spending. Employee salaries make up a very small portion of government spending. Romney knows this, but he keeps uttering this kind of gibberish, in the hope that Republicans will make him their 2012 nominee.

0 SHARES Facebook Twitter Google Whatsapp Pinterest Print Mail Flipboard Future 2012 GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney was on NBC’s Meet The Press today, where he blamed the excesses of government for the budget deficit, and overpaid government workers. Specifically, Romney said, “Average government workers, are now making $30,000 a year more than the average private sector worker.” Here is the video: Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy Romney said, “We can compete around the world, there’s no question about that, David. We have the capacity to do that. The American workers are the best in the world, our technology is at the leading edge. America, long term, can be the, the powerful economic engine it’s always been. But the real threat right here is something that Alan Greenspan just said if we don’t take action to rein in the scale of government and the growth of government spending and the compensation levels of government workers–you saw government workers, average government workers, are now making $30,000 a.” He continued, “These kinds of excesses and the massive deficits that, that, that government is putting in place, over a trillion dollars a year for these coming several years, this threatens our long-term viability, because it, it, it suggests that we could have runaway inflation. And, and the Fed and the federal government are going to have to rein in, pull back from what have been the excesses of these past years, Republican and Democrat. It’s not a partisan issue, it’s a growth of government issue. And it’s got to stop, or America’s future could be very much in jeopardy.” It is clear that attacking Washington is going to be the centerpiece of Romney’s 2012 campaign. The problem for him is that every non-incumbent candidate attacks Washington with the same generic language. When he brought up government workers, he was trying to play into the stereotype that public sector workers are overpaid and lazy. Romney’s suggestion that public sector employees’ salaries have something to do with the budget deficit is absurd. If government workers are overpaid that why can’t governments at all levels attract and keep top talent? In almost all specialized fields the public sector acts as a training program for the private sector. The reality is that discretionary spending, which is the part of the budget that the government can cut, makes up only one third of the total budget. The other two thirds are mandatory spending. Employee salaries make up a very small portion of government spending. Romney knows this, but he keeps uttering this kind of gibberish, in the hope that Republicans will make him their 2012 nominee.

Otod here, people! Its simple. flick the lid closed….then flush. When flushing a toilet, little itty bitty particles get thrown into the air as far as 20 feet, and more with some violent flushing toilets. How do we stop it? Butt plugs. or…. Close the Lid! Or get fecal matter on your toothbrush. Dude….gross. Each toilet flush creates an unseen mist that can travel up to 20 feet in all directions. Toilet water can contain fecal matter, E. coli, streptococcus, staphylococcus, klebsiella oxytoca, enterobacter, flu and cold viruses etc. Micro-droplets land on everything within the flush zone: toothbrushes, drinking cups, bath toys etc. The mist can stay in the air for 2 hours, and can be inhaled. Pathogens can live on surfaces for a week. Way more info, and some tips and videos after the break? Obviously! Click below… Ok, first off…. yes. streptococcus is a real word. Second. Here is a clip from Dr Oz discussing this very fact where he reveals the truth about toilet flushing and the spread of harmful germs. And here is a written answer from Dr. Oz: Toilets contain a bacterial line just below the water level called a bio-film. The bacterial bio-film is very difficult to remove even with household cleaners. Once airborne these micro-droplets land on everything within the flush zone: drinking cups, toys, children’s toothbrushes, etc. Some of these pathogens live for a week on surfaces. Every toilet flush creates an unseen mist detected at head height and can travel up to 15 feet away from the toilet bowl—known as the “Aerosol Effect.” Always put the toilet seat down before you flush the toilet because it will prevent some of the fecal particles from floating up and landing on every other bathroom surface, and keep your toothbrush covered. To boot, all bathroom surfaces should be cleaned regularly. These include the door handle, faucets, toilet, sink, floor and shower/bathtub. Clean inside the toilet at least twice a week with a disinfectant ordisinfectant toilet-bowl cleaner. Clean the toilet and sink with separate cloths to avoid transferring germs. The Late and Great George Carlin does a funny bit about our fear of germs….. Its Funny…. But you should still close that lid! “Fear of germs?” NSFW Bottom Line….. Its really simple to do. “Poop…Lid….Flush”. “Pee…..Lid….Flush”. So… throw away your toothbrush, wash those bathroom towels and remember… your dog will also stop drinking from the toilet.

Did you know? Did you know? Have you ever wondered why Michael Jordan wore a black pair of Nike Air Flight 1s and Penny wore PE Air Jordans? This is Sneaker Dave back again on 1Cent Tuesday with another Penny story, hope you enjoy! One of the greatest remaining mysteries is exactly why Michael Jordan decided to change shoes during the 1995 NBA playoff series against Penny Hardaway and the Orlando Magic. MJ couldn't wear the Air Jordan 11 due to its uniform color code policy? Perhaps. But prior to that event, Penny & MJ agreed to switch shoes, a promise that Penny till this day says he still can't believe. Its the only time MJ ever wore a different pair of hoop shoes on court outside of his own since his Nike deal in the 80s. Penny on the other hand was one of the 1st NBA players at the time to wear some of the early player exclusive Air Jordans. The word on the street back then was you had to directly ask Michael for that blessing. In today's league it's the norm to wear PE's, but back then it was a badge of respect & honor. It was evident that Penny Hardaway and Michael Jordan shared a mutual respect for each other on the court and with their footwear.

Animated Engines Diesel Engine The diesel engine was first patented in 1892 by Rudolph Diesel.8 The diesel is similar to the four stroke, but uses a different method to ignite the fuel. Intake The intake valve opens, and fresh air (containing no fuel), is drawn into the cylinder. Compression As the piston rises, the air is compressed, causing its temperature to rise. At the end of the compression stroke, the air is hot enough to ignite fuel. Injection Near the top of the compression stroke, the fuel injector drives fuel into the cylinder. The fuel immediately ignites upon contact with the hot compressed air. Power As the fuel burns, the gas in the cylinder heats and expands, driving the piston. Exhaust The exhaust valve opens, and the exhaust is driven out of the cylinder. Valve detail The valves are operated by a variety of mechanisms on diesel and four stroke engines. The engine illustrated here features dual overhead camshafts, sometimes abbreviated DOHC. These are usually driven by a chain or cog belt as shown here. With his first practical engine in 1897, “Diesel proved to the world that his was the most efficient engine ever built.”8 Diesels are still among the most energy efficient engines available.

Animated Engines Diesel Engine Rudolph Diesel.8 The diesel is similar to the four stroke, but uses a different method to ignite the fuel. Intake The intake valve opens, and fresh air (containing no fuel), is drawn into the cylinder. Compression As the piston rises, the air is compressed, causing its temperature to rise. At the end of the compression stroke, the air is hot enough to ignite fuel. Injection Near the top of the compression stroke, the fuel injector drives fuel into the cylinder. The fuel immediately ignites upon contact with the hot compressed air. Power As the fuel burns, the gas in the cylinder heats and expands, driving the piston. Exhaust The exhaust valve opens, and the exhaust is driven out of the cylinder. Valve detail The valves are operated by a variety of mechanisms on diesel and four stroke engines. The engine illustrated here features dual overhead camshafts, sometimes abbreviated DOHC. These are usually driven by a chain or cog belt as shown here. With his first practical engine in 1897, “Diesel proved to the world that his was the most efficient engine ever built.”8 Diesels are still among the most energy efficient trucks, boats, earthmoving machinery, etc.
Domenico Stinellis/Associated Press Over the years, one of the charges against the murderous regime of Colonel Muammar el-Qaddafi was that state funds were being used to further the footballing career of his third-oldest son, Al Saadi. He was once thought to run the Libyan Football Federation. It is hard to know if Libyan football will survive revolution and civil war, but it is worth telling the story, again, of Saadi’s surreal, so-called career in Italian football. Of course, links between Libya and Italy go back a long way. Libya was an Italian colony between 1911 and 1947 and Italy’s economic interests there have remained strong since. In particular, Fiat, Italy’s biggest company, has always been interested in Libyan oil, and did a lot of business with Qaddafi. Fiat is the owner of Italy’s oldest and most successful team, and the team with the most fans — Juventus. The Qaddafi family built up considerable holdings in Juventus, obtaining, according to some reports as much as seven percent of shares in the clubs in recent years. In 2002, the Italian Supercup final was played in Tripoli, the currently embattled Libyan capital, thanks to these links. It is perhaps for this reason that Saadi Qaddafi thought that he might be able to play in Serie A, despite not being good enough. The strategy was simple — pay teams to have him in their squad, and train with the first team. He might even get a few minutes on the field, on rare occasions. Saadi was “signed” by Luciano Gaucci, the volcanic owner of Perugia, in the 2003 off-season. Qaddafi had been hanging around Italian soccer for years. He even trained with Paul Gascoigne at Lazio in the 1990s. Although he had trained with Juve, nobody had ever imagined that the dictator’s son was anywhere near good enough to actually turn out in Serie A, except Gaucci. Associated Press Despite Gaucci’s best efforts, Perugia Manager Serse Cosmi obstinately refused to play the 30-year-old Libyan. Gaucci issued a statement, at the time, which is interesting in retrospect: “Berlusconi called me up and encouraged me. He told me that having Qaddafi in the team is helping us build a relationship with Libya. If he plays badly, he plays badly. So be it.” A number of excuses were invented — he was injured, it was the wrong game. Gaucci pleaded publicly with Cosmi, asking if he would play Qaddafi for just one half … even if he is not very good. Cosmi held firm. Qaddafi sat on the bench once without coming on. The case was resolved in a spectacular manner. On the Oct. 5, 2003 (after his first game as nonplaying substitute) Qaddafi’s urine sample was found to contain traces of an illegal substance — Nandrolone. He was barred for three months, without ever having played for the first team. The Qaddafi saga was not over, however. Having served his ban, Saadi finally saw some action, for 15 minutes, in a key relegation game against Juventus in May as Perugia won, 1-0. A week later an attack of appendicitis conveniently put him out for the rest of the season In 2006, Saadi Qaddafi had his second 11 minutes of fame, turning out for Udinese in a dead end-of-season match against Cagliari (again the manager was Cosmi) and coming close to scoring with a “great left-foot shot from the edge of the area” His statistics for the entire season consisted of eight passes, one shot and two tackles. Qaddafi’s final season in Italy was an inglorious one. He was on Sampdoria’s books for a whole season, but was not even allowed the regulation 10 minutes on the field. All in all it is an extraordinary story. It tells us a lot about the corruption of Italian soccer, the power of (Libyan) money and the occasionally the farcical nature of Serie A in the age of Moggi and others. Note: Libya is currently ranked No. 70 in the world by FIFA. John Foot, the Professor of Modern Italian History in the Department of Italian at University College in London, splits his time between England and Milan. Foot’s book, “Winning at All Costs: A Scandalous History of Italian Soccer” (Nation Books, $17.95), is a comprehensive and entertaining history of calcio, or soccer, in Italy.

Domenico Stinellis/Associated Press Over the years, one of the charges against the murderous regime of Colonel Muammar el-Qaddafi was that state funds were being used to further the footballing career of his third-oldest son, Al Saadi. He was once thought to run the Libyan Football Federation. It is hard to know if Libyan football will survive revolution and civil war, but it is worth telling the story, again, of Saadi’s surreal, so-called career in Italian football. Of course, links between Libya and Italy go back a long way. Libya was an Italian colony between 1911 and 1947 and Italy’s economic interests there have remained strong since. In particular, Fiat, Italy’s biggest company, has always been interested in Libyan oil, and did a lot of business with Qaddafi. Fiat is the owner of Italy’s oldest and most successful team, and the team with the most fans — Juventus. The Qaddafi family built up considerable holdings in Juventus, obtaining, according to some reports as much as seven percent of shares in the clubs in recent years. In 2002, the Italian Supercup final was played in Tripoli, the currently embattled Libyan capital, thanks to these links. It is perhaps for this reason that Saadi Qaddafi thought that he might be able to play in Serie A, despite not being good enough. The strategy was simple — pay teams to have him in their squad, and train with the first team. He might even get a few minutes on the field, on rare occasions. Saadi was “signed” by Luciano Gaucci, the volcanic owner of Perugia, in the 2003 off-season. Qaddafi had been hanging around Italian soccer for years. He even trained with Paul Gascoigne at Lazio in the 1990s. Although he had trained with Juve, nobody had ever imagined that the dictator’s son was anywhere near good enough to actually turn out in Serie A, except Gaucci. Associated Press Despite Gaucci’s best efforts, Perugia Manager Serse Cosmi obstinately refused to play the 30-year-old Libyan. Gaucci issued a statement, at the time, which is interesting in retrospect: “Berlusconi called me up and encouraged me. He told me that having Qaddafi in the team is helping us build a relationship with Libya. If he plays badly, he plays badly. So be it.” A number of excuses were invented — he was injured, it was the wrong game. Gaucci pleaded publicly with Cos even if he is not very good. Cosmi held firm. Qaddafi sat on the bench once without coming on. The case was resolved in a spectacular manner. On the Oct. 5, 2003 (after his first game as nonplaying substitute) Qaddafi’s urine sample was found to contain traces of an illegal substance — Nandrolone. He was barred for three months, without ever having played for the first team. The Qaddafi saga was not over, however. Having served his ban, Saadi finally saw some action, for 15 minutes, in a key relegation game against Juventus in May as Perugia won, 1-0. A week later an attack of appendicitis conveniently put him out for the rest of the season In 2006, Saadi Qaddafi had his second 11 minutes of fame, turning out for Udinese in a dead end-of-season match against Cagliari (again the manager was Cosmi) and coming close to scoring with a “great left-foot shot from the edge of the area” His statistics for the entire season consisted of eight passes, one shot and two tackles. Qaddafi’s final season in Italy was an inglorious one. He was on Sampdoria’s books for a whole season, but was not even allowed the regulation 10 minutes on the field. All in all it is an extraordinary story. It tells us a lot about the corruption of Italian soccer, the power of (Libyan) money and the occasionally the farcical nature of Serie A in the No. 70 in the world by FIFA. John Foot, the Professor of Modern Italian History in the Department of Italian at University College in London, splits his time between England and Milan. Foot’s book, “Winning at All Costs: A Scandalous History of Italian Soccer” (Nation Books, $17.95), is a comprehensive and entertaining history of calcio, or soccer, in Italy.
In the 1992 US election, Bill Clinton’s Chief Strategist James Carville coined the phrase “it’s the economy, stupid”. The phrase morphed into a form of conventional wisdom; the idea that the economy is the only thing really matters to voters. But in 2015, this conventional wisdom is myopic. Just as the economy wasn’t the only thing that mattered to voters in 1992, last week’s Queensland election suggests that in 2015, voters are still thinking about wider than simply their hip pocket. And in this era where all our leading scientific bodies including NASA and Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology are warning us of the tangible and atmosphere altering impacts of climate change - the environment is looming larger than Federal politicians seem able or willing to acknowledge. Campbell Newman spent a fair deal both of the campaign and his time in office trying to make a virtue out of environmentally damaging mining projects. The former Queensland Government sought to set the issue of jobs and development against the environment. Implicit in the argument, it seemed, is a belief that voters can’t have both – they must choose between jobs or the environment. In what seemed like a fairly unprecedented development in Australian elections, the former premier was joined on the campaign trail by a mining magnate who had been promised hundreds of millions in public money for a financially questionable project. And as premier, Newman dismissed concerns from President Obama about the danger facing the reef, referring to a “campaign of misinformation from green groups.” The Galilee Basin coal reserves, the Great Barrier Reef and climate change are all bound up in a vicious cycle of short term and long term threats to the Reef. That’s because the Great Barrier Reef won’t be saved simply by not dumping of a few million tonnes of dredge spoil into it, or refraining by expanding a huge coal port at Abbot Point. While killing off these plans might spare the Reef a sudden death, as President Obama made clear in Brisbane last November, the long term threat to the Reef is climate change. At the same time, the projected annual coal output from Galilee, if burned, would roughly equate to Australia’s total annual amount of carbon pollution, which will make climate change worse. Ocean acidification, rising sea levels, and warmer waters – all symptoms of climate change – are combining to put the Reef in danger. Labor and the Greens ran hard on the Reef, while environmental groups have been campaigning on the Galilee Basin, the Reef and coal and gas projects for years. And the election was marked by the intervention of Alan Jones, whose opposition to the expansion of the Acland coal mine demonstrated that environmental concerns cut across political lines. If Queensland shows that voters are both willing and able to look at issues that go further than simply the “economy” – such as the environment, or health, or education – it also must be pointed out that the environment and the economy aren’t some zero-sum calculation. A recent OECD publication has thrown cold water over this canard though. It found – contrary to a lot of spin you hear elsewhere – “there is no lasting harm to productivity levels at the economy wide level or industry level when environmental policies are tightened.” In fact, the OECD found, there is often a temporary increase in productivity growth as firms innovate to fit in with Government policy. The Abbott Government would be wise to take note of the Newman Government’s fate. Queensland shows that voters, increasingly, realise there isn’t an automatic trade-off between the environment and jobs. People of course want a strong economy. But they probably realise we shouldn’t destroy the environment to achieve it. Politicians need to realise that it was never just the economy, stupid. The environment matters to Australians, and they’re prepared to make it known at the ballot box. Paul Sinclair is Director of Campaigns for the Australian Conservation Foundation.

In the 1992 US election, Bill Clinton’s Chief Strategist James Carville coined the phrase “it’s the economy, stupid”. The phrase morphed into a form of conventional wisdom; the idea that the economy is the only thing really matters to voters. But in 2015, this conventional wisdom is myopic. Just as the economy wasn’t the only thing that mattered to voters in 1992, last week’s Queensland election suggests that in 2015, voters are still thinking about wider than simply their hip pocket. And in this era where all our leading scientific bodies including NASA and Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology are warning us of the tangible and atmosphere altering impacts of climate change - the environment is looming larger than Federal politicians seem able or willing to acknowledge. Campbell Newman spent a fair deal both of the campaign and his time in office trying to make a virtue out of environmentally damaging mining projects. The former Queensland Government sought to set the issue of jobs and development against the environment. Implicit in the argument, it seemed, is a belief that voters can’t have both – they must choose between jobs or the environment. In what seemed like a fairly unprecedented development in Australian elections, the former premier was joined on the campaign trail by a mining magnate who had been promised hundreds of millions in public money for a financially questionable project. And as premier, Newman dismissed concerns from President Obama about the danger facing the reef, referring to a “campaign of misinformation from green groups.” The Galilee Basin coal reserves, the Great Barrier Reef and climate change are all bound up in a vicious cycle of short term and long term threats to the Reef. That’s because the Great Barrier Reef won’t be saved simply by not dumping of a few million tonnes of dredge spoil into it, or refraining by expanding a huge coal port at Abbot Point. While killing off these plans might spare the Reef a sudden death, as President Obama made clear in Brisbane last November, the long term threat to the Reef is climate output from Galilee, if burned, would roughly equate to Australia’s total annual amount of carbon pollution, which will make climate change worse. Ocean acidification, rising sea levels, and warmer waters – all symptoms of climate change – are combining to put the Reef in danger. Labor and the Greens ran hard on the Reef, while environmental groups have been campaigning on the Galilee Basin, the Reef and coal and gas projects for years. And the election was marked by the intervention of Alan Jones, whose opposition to the expansion of the Acland coal mine demonstrated that environmental concerns cut across political lines. If Queensland shows that voters are both willing and able to look at issues that go further than simply the “economy” – such as the environment, or health, or education – it also must be pointed out that the environment and the economy aren’t some zero-sum calculation. A recent OECD publication has thrown cold water over this canard though. It found – contrary to a lot of spin you hear elsewhere – “there is no lasting harm to productivity levels at the economy wide level or industry level when environmental policies are tightened.” In fact, the OECD found, there is often a temporary increase in productivity growth as firms innovate to fit in with Government policy. The Abbott Government would be wise to take note of the Newman Government’s fate. Queensland shows that voters, increasingly, realise there isn� course want a strong economy. But they probably realise we shouldn’t destroy the environment to achieve it. Politicians need to realise that it was never just the economy, stupid. The environment matters to Australians, and they’re prepared to make it known at the ballot box. Paul Sinclair is Director of Campaigns for the Australian Conservation Foundation.
The racial makeup of the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office is about 86 percent white, but one UC researcher says that doesn't tell the whole story. Buy Photo A Cincinnati police officer patrols in Lower Price Hill. (Photo: The Enquirer/Liz Dufour)Buy Photo Like many law-enforcement agencies nationwide, the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office isn't an accurate reflection of the area's racial makeup. Spokesman Michael Robison this week released staffing numbers in response to a Freedom of Information request filed by The Enquirer. The department tallied its 864 employees as follows: •745, or 86 percent, are white, •105, or 12 percent, are African-American, •10, or 1 percent, are Hispanic, and •3 are Asian and 1 is American Indian or Alaska Native. Based on data collected in the 2010 U.S. Census, the county's demographic makeup is 62 percent white, 26 percent African-American, nearly 3 percent Hispanic, 2.3 percent Asian and less than a half-percent American Indian and Alaska Native. However, Jeff Rexhausen, a senior research associate with the University of Cincinnati Economics Center, said those numbers don't paint the whole picture. He said that the sheriff's department likely does more patrolling outside of the city, which has its own department. The racial makeup outside of the city is about 78 percent white. Rexhausen also pointed to the Census' 2006-2010 Equal Employment Opportunity Tabulation – highlighting the diversity of the labor force based on five years of data – which indicates that about 3,700 police officers live in the metropolitan area, of which nearly 90 percent are white. "Workforce diversity is a high priority for many employers, but their ability to achieve diversity objectives is constrained by the composition of the local workforce," Rexhausen told The Enquirer in an email. Employers can recruit outside of the metropolitan area, he said, but that just increases the competition. The sheriff's released numbers come a week after the USA TODAY analyzed the racial makeup of law-enforcement agencies nationwide as police departments face widespread protests against racial profiling and police brutality. In the USA TODAY story, experts and police officers said that a force that racially and ethnically reflects a community's population can improve relations, dispel mistrust and communicate more effectively. The Enquirer, as part of that analysis, requested a racial breakdown of the Cincinnati Police Department and the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office. The latter agency didn't immediately provide the numbers because of a personnel issue. Among the analysis' findings were that minority officers in the U.S. are concentrated in a few metropolises, as more than one-third of 111,000 black officers worked in just 10 cities.

By comparison, 2010 Census data indicates the city is about 48 percent white, 45 percent black, 3 percent Hispanic and 2 percent Asian. In 10 cities, including Buffalo, Detroit and Cleveland, the disparity of blacks in uniform and in the community surpassed 25 percentage points. Large disparities exist for the Hispanic population in even more cities, with the disparity between Hispanic representation among the police versus the population being greater than 10 percentage points in at least 125 cities.

The racial makeup of the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office is about 86 percent white, but one UC researcher says that doesn't tell the whole story. Buy Photo A Cincinnati police officer patrols in Lower Price Hill. (Photo: The Enquire nationwide, the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office isn't an accurate reflection of the area's racial makeup. Spokesman Michael Robison this week released staffing numbers in response to a Freedom of Information request filed by The Enquirer. The department tallied its 864 employees as follows: •745, or 86 percent, are white, •105, or 12 percent, are African-American, •10, or 1 percent, are Hispanic, and •3 are Asian and 1 is American Indian or Alaska Native. Based on data collected in the 2010 U.S. Census, the county's demographic makeup is 62 percent white, 26 percent African-American, nearly 3 percent Hispanic, 2.3 percent Asian and less than a half-percent American Indian and Alaska Native. However, Jeff Rexhausen, a senior research associate with the University of Cincinnati Economics Center, said those numbers don't paint the whole picture. He said that the sheriff's department likely does more patrolling outside of the city, which has its own department. The racial makeup outside of the city is about 78 percent white. Rexhausen also pointed to the Census' 2006-2010 Equal Employment Opportunity Tabulation – highlighting the diversity of the labor force based on five years of data – which indicates that about 3,700 police officers live in the metropolitan area, of which nearly 90 percent are white. "Workforce diversity is a high priority for many employers, but their ability to achieve diversity objectives is constrained by the composition of the local workforce," Rexhausen told The Enquirer in an email. Employers can recruit outside of the metropolitan area, he said, but that just increases the competition. The sheriff's released numbers come a week after the USA TODAY analyzed the racial makeup of law-enforcement agencies nationwide as police departments face widespread protests against racial profiling and police brutality. In the USA TODAY story, experts and police officers said that a force that racially and ethnically reflects a community's population can improve relations, dispel mistrust and communicate more effectively. The Enquirer, as part of that analysis, requested a racial breakdown of the Cincinnati Police Department and the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office. The latter agency didn't immediately provide the numbers because of a personnel issue. Among the analysis' findings were that minority officers in the U.S. are concentrated in a few metropolises, as more than one-third of 111,000 black officers worked in just 10 cities.

By comparison, 2010 Census data indicates the city is about 48 percent white, 45 percent black, 3 percent Hispanic and 2 percent Asian. In 10 cities, including Buffalo, Detroit and Cleveland, the disparity of blacks in uniform and in the community surpassed 25 percentage points.

Event Description Day-of tickets can be purchased at check-in for $15. In its 18th year, the Pittsburgh StepTrek will begin Saturday, Oct. 6, 2018 at 11AM at South Side Park (Josephine & 21st Streets). The event has lasted this long due to the backing of individuals with a curiosity as to what lies at the top or bottom of the numerous public stairs in the neighborhood. The routes will take a tour of the hillsides and spectacular views that distinguish Pittsburgh. The family-friendly event combines photography, historic narrative and a sense of a neighborhood dependent upon steps. StepTrek is what the trekker makes it. Participants may choose to use this noncompetitive event as a test of fitness or a leisurely stroll. The benefits of a stirring walk through the Slopes have earned this event the heart-healthy rating of the American Heart Association. Special pricing makes the walk an attractive way to experience the city on an autumn afternoon. The Trek itself is self-guided. The course narrative points out the landmarks and gives a history of the stairs and buildings, counts the steps and also provides instruction as to the route. Arrows along the course provide direction as well. Proceeds from the StepTrek benefit the South Side Slopes Neighborhood Association (SSSNA), an all volunteer organization committed to improving this unique neighborhood and providing a unified voice for slopes residents. Primary areas of focus are public safety, neighborhood development and beautification. This event also helps to benefit The Brashear Association's Food Pantry. Please remember to bring a canned food item to help stock the Brashear Association Food Pantry. Top items needed include: Peanut Butter & Jelly Spaghetti Sauce Tuna Cereal Baby Food #StepTrek Waiver: In consideration of this entry, I waive for myself, my heirs and assigns, all claims for damages which I might have against the StepTrek, its sponsors, its beneficiaries or any other business or individuals as a result of any or all injuries which might be received during StepTrek. I also release any photos that may involve me.

The Values Voter Summit, the annual event that brings together social conservatives and GOP politicians, has welcomed the far-right John Birch Society to sponsor a booth at the event’s exhibit hall this year, according to a list on the event’s website. JBS has long been at least nominally exiled from the conservative mainstream thanks to its history of paranoia and racism, but has recently begun to get a toehold in some conservative establishment events. The group was allowed to sponsor a table at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in 2010 but was booted from the event in 2012 amidst criticism. As the Southern Poverty Law Center wrote in 2013, “Once considered by the right and the left as the political equivalent of an addled uncle sent down to the basement rec room to drink, rant and hopefully pass out before saying anything too nutty in front of the guests, in recent years the John Birch Society has been invited back upstairs and has even hosted a dinner party or two.” JBS is probably best known for its decades-long obsession with fighting the communist infiltration of America, at one point even accusing President Dwight Eisenhower of being a communist agent. The group is still fighting what it sees as stealth communist infiltration, but in a different form; JBS CEO Arthur Thompson told SPLC in 2013, “While we’re sitting here proclaiming communism is dead, it’s growing everywhere and rapidly. It’s flourishing under different names, like the Muslim Brotherhood.” SPLC provides some highlights of JBS’s troubling history: Charges of racism and anti-Semitism have dogged the John Birch Society since its earliest days. It opposed civil rights legislation in the 1960s, saying the African-American freedom movement was being manipulated from Moscow with the goal of creating a “Soviet Negro Republic” in the Southern United States. The society was a close ally of Alabama’s segregationist governor George Wallace and reportedly had 100 chapters in and around Birmingham, Alabama’s largest city, as well as chapters across the rest of the state. Thompson, the group’s CEO, said the society has never been either racist or anti-Semitic, going so far as to add that once a member is discovered to harbor such views he or she is immediately “booted out.’’ In 2009, Rachel Maddow went into depth on the group’s record, including its opposition to public water fluoridation. More recently, JBS’s magazine, The New American, published an article that blamed the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting on “the assault on white men” in America that includes offenses from “‘affirmative action’ to massive Third World immigration.” The Values Voter Summit, hosted by the Family Research Council and sponsored by the American Family Association, American Values and others, is the premier social conservative event of the year and often attracts leading GOP politicians, including presidential candidates.

The Values Voter Summit, the annual event that brings together social conservatives and GOP politicians, has welcomed the far-right John Birch Society to sponsor a booth at the event’s exhibit hall this year, according to a list on the event’s website. JBS has long been at least nominally exiled from the conservative mainstream thanks to its history of paranoia and racism, but has recently begun to get a toehold in some conservative establishment events. The group was allowed to sponsor a table at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in 2010 but was booted from the event in 2012 amidst criticism. As the Southern Poverty Law Center wrote in 2013, “Once considered by the right and the left as the political equivalent of an addled uncle sent down to the basement rec room to drink, rant and hopefully pass out before saying anything too nutty in front of the guests, in recent years the John Birch Society has been invited back upstairs and has even hosted a dinner party or two.” JBS is probably best known for its decades-long obsession with fighting the communist infiltration of America, at one point even accusing President Dwight Eisenhower of being a communist agent. The group is still fighting what it sees as stealth communist infiltration, but in a different form; JBS CEO Arthur Thompson told SPLC in 2013, “While we’re sitting here proclaiming communism is dead, it’s growing everywhere and rapidly. It’s flourishing under different names, like the Muslim Brotherhood.” SPLC provides some highlights of JBS’s troubling history: Charges of racism and anti-Semitism have dogged the John Birch Society since its earliest days. It opposed civil rights legislation in the 1960s, saying the African-American freedom movement was being manipulated from Moscow with the United States. The society was a close ally of Alabama’s segregationist governor George Wallace and reportedly had 100 chapters in and around Birmingham, Alabama’s largest city, as well as chapters across the rest of the state. Thompson, the group’s CEO, said the society has never been either racist or anti-Semitic, going so far as to add that once a member is discovered to harbor such views he or she is immediately “booted out.’’ In 2009, depth on the group’s record, including its opposition to public water fluoridation. More recently, JBS’s magazine, The New American, published an article that blamed the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting on “the assault on white men” in America that includes offenses from “‘affirmative action’ to massive Third World immigration.” The Values Voter Summit, hosted by the Family Research Council and sponsored by the American Family Association, American Values and others, is the premier social conservative event of the year and often attracts leading GOP politicians, including presidential candidates. Now, along with mingling with some of the most extreme anti-gay, anti-choice and Christian nationalist activists in the country, these politicians will now be standing side-by-side with the John Birch Society.
Updated: January 27, 2015 to include link to a gluten FAQ page on http://mikeshard.com It was a like a beacon of shinning light. I could almost see the skies open up and a beautiful light was shinning down…. I was floating down the aisle and nobody else in the world existed at that moment except me and Mike. Mike as in Mike’s Hard Lemonade that is!! That is how it felt when I saw Mike’s Hard Lemonade’s booth at the Gluten Free Allergen Free Expo in Phoenix recently. As I walked closer to the booth I started to get giddy!! Look, I will admit it…. other than in cooking, I never acquired the taste for beer. I love me some wine. Hand me a margarita, but I will never say the words “oh how I miss beer since being diagnosed with Celiac Disease”. What I do miss are this fun flavored drinks that are sweet and tasty. I waited in line to talk to the Mike’s representative. She was a delightful woman who was more than happy answering all of my questions. I told her how thrilled I was to see them at the GFAF Expo because that must mean that the rumor they are gluten free was true. She referred to their term “crafted to remove gluten” and explained to me that yes the product initially starts off as a gluten, but that after distilling it becomes gluten free. She told me that it’s tested by an independent agency to confirm that the gluten has been removed to less than 5 parts per million (ppm). For a product to be considered gluten free it must be less than 20 ppm per FDA regulations. Their products are not currently going to be labeled GF or gluten free or certified gluten free because of the current labeling regulations in place. Keep in mind, if this was a food product it would be marked gluten free but they do not have the same labeling regulations in place for alcohol so they can not currently mark their product gluten free. So, as with all gluten free products, we have to make the choice for ourselves to determine whether this is a product for us. I provide as much info as I can to help you make an informed decision, but ultimately it is up to you… and that goes for any product review or recipe on this website. Now for the sake of taste testing this product. I have had one or two of the Mike’s product every night for the past week. I did NOT get sick or have any of my typical gluten side effects. I am thrilled to have had the opportunity to talk to the company representatives at the GFAF Expo because they really do not talk about the gluten free issue on their website. This is something I am not thrilled with!!! However, remember they were at the GFAF Expo!! (since the article posted we have received a gluten FAQ info page, please see link below) With the big game day parties that are going to be happening shortly it’s nice to know that I an a lot of people can have a fun and tasty gluten free option for their partygoers!! If you have Celiac, gluten sensitivity, gluten intolerance or on a gluten free diet, you have a new option!! Not only did I really enjoy their product but I suggest you check out their website and their social media Website: http://mikeshard.com/en/home Gluten FAQ Info: http://www.mikeshard.com/en/gluten-faqs Product Locator: http://mikeshard.com/en/product-locator Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mikeshardlemonade Twitter: https://twitter.com/mhl I was NOT provided with product or financial support for this dining review. The opinions stated here are simply my own. PLEASE DRINK RESPONSIBLY!! Incoming search terms:

Updated: January 27, 2015 to include link to a gluten FAQ page on http://mikeshard.com It was a like a beacon of shinning light. I could almost see the skies open up and a beautiful light was shinning down…. I was floating down the aisle and nobody else in the world existed at that moment except me and Mike. Mike as in Mike’s Hard Lemonade that is!! I saw Mike’s Hard Lemonade’s booth at the booth I started to get giddy!! Look, I will admit it…. other than in cooking, I never acquired the taste for beer. I love me some wine. Hand me a margarita, but I will never say the words “oh how I miss beer since being diagnosed with Celiac Disease”. What I do miss are this fun flavored drinks that are sweet and tasty. I waited in line to talk to the Mike’s representative. She was a delightful woman who was more than happy answering all of my questions. I told her how thrilled I was to see them at the GFAF Expo because that must mean that the rumor they are gluten free was true. She referred to their term “crafted to remove gluten” and explained to me that yes the product initially starts off as a gluten, but that after distilling it becomes gluten free. She told me that it’s tested by an independent agency to confirm that the gluten has been removed to less than 5 parts per million (ppm). For a product to be considered gluten free it must be less than 20 ppm per FDA regulations. Their products are not currently going to be labeled GF or gluten free or certified gluten free because of the current labeling regulations in place. Keep in mind, if this was a food product it would be marked gluten free but they do not have the same labeling regulations in place for alcohol so they can not currently mark their product gluten free. So, as with all gluten free products, we have to make the choice for ourselves to determine whether this is a product for us. I provide as much info as I can to help you make an informed decision, but ultimately it is up to you… and that goes for any product review or recipe on this website. Now for the sake of taste testing this product. I have had one or two of the Mike’s product every night for the past week. I did NOT get sick or have any of my typical gluten side effects. I am thrilled to have had the opportunity to talk to the company representatives at the GFAF Expo because they really do not talk about the gluten free issue on their website. This is something I am not thrilled with!!! However, remember they were at the GFAF Expo!! (since the article posted we have received a gluten FAQ info page, please see link below) With the big game day parties that are going to be happening shortly it’s nice to know that I an a lot of people can have a fun and tasty gluten free option for their partygoers!! If you have Celiac, gluten sensitivity, gluten intolerance or on a gluten free diet, you have a new option!! Not only did I really enjoy their product but I suggest you check out their website and their social media Website: http://mikeshard.com/en/home Gluten FAQ Info: http://www.mikeshard.com/en/gluten-faqs Product Locator: http://mikeshard.com/en/product-locator Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mikeshardlemonade Twitter: https://twitter.com/mhl I was NOT provided with product or financial support for this dining review. The opinions stated here are simply my own. PLEASE DRINK RESPONSIBLY!! Incoming search terms:
These are some of the things I can do because I’m fortunate to work for a company that lets me work from anywhere: Hug my kids and feed them breakfast before they leave for school in the morning. Greet and make a snack for them when they get home; hear all about their day. Work from my favorite coffee shop. Spend a week with the whole Basecamp team in our Chicago office. Spend a week with my team in sunny Austin, TX (while it’s -2ºF in Chicago). Run an errand for a friend. Walk my dogs. Work with a friend. Care for a sick child without taking a sick day myself. After you’ve read all the books and articles about keeping on-task when working from home, setting up the perfect home office, avoiding loneliness, staying connected, sidestepping distractions, and avoiding interruptions I’d suggest one thing: embrace interruptions. Maybe this isn’t the way of MAXIMUM IN-THE-ZONE PRODUCTIVITY but as my kids have gotten older and the days are fast approaching where they’ll be off on their own I’ve tried to be open to those interruptions. For example, my son usually goes right for my office when he gets home in the afternoon, standing with me at my desk rattling on about his day oblivious that he might be interrupting. I do my best (and sometimes it’s really hard) to stop what I’m doing, turn to him and be present. How many more of those conversations will there be? I’ll take every one I can get. My daughter comes home starving. Taking 10 minutes to make her a snack makes both of our days. She could totally do it herself and I could totally keep working but which 10 minutes am I going to remember? Which will she remember? If you have little kids (or no kids) what I’m experiencing may seem like it’s irrelevant (or at least a long way off) but I promise you it’s not. You won’t remember working a little later or catching up on Saturday because the people you love interrupted you but you’re certain to remember those little interactions. And even more, they will remember them, too. This is why I work remotely. I worked a day job and freelanced all night (while putting myself through college) when these same kids were little. I barely remember those years. Be grateful that you’re home to be interrupted at all. Today’s American worker is the most productive in the world and our productivity has increased exponentially for more than a century. An average worker needs to work a mere 11 hours per week to produce as much as one working 40 hours per week in 1950. […] the average worker could have a 29-hour workweek if he were satisfied with producing as much as a 40-hour worker as recently as 1990. — Productivity and the Workweek by Erik Rauch Of course, we’re not actually working less (we’re working more hours!) and (surprise!) it’s not making us any happier either. If you’re fortunate to have the freedom to work remotely, great! Rejoice in your freedom to get things done when, where, and how you work best! Jump up and down because you don’t have to get in a car for your twice-daily dose of soul-sucking traffic! Inhale deeply safe from the “hero” in the next cubicle who’s sick but came to the office anyway! Enjoy lunch with your spouse instead of in the break room with Connie from accounts payable! These are all tremendous benefits that make you healthier, happier and a better worker. Now take all of that and cut yourself some slack. The work will get done. The people you love aren’t interruptions, they’re the reason you work at all. Give ’em a hug. I’m incredibly grateful to work at Basecamp where we build the tools that make working remotely possible, we even wrote a book about it.

These are some of the things I can do because I’m fortunate to work for a company that lets me work from anywhere: Hug my kids and feed them breakfast before they leave for school in the morning. Greet and make a snack for them when they get home; hear all about their day. Work from my favorite coffee shop. Spend a week with the whole Basecamp team in our Chicago office. Spend a week with my team in sunny Austin, TX (while it’s -2ºF in Chicago). Run an errand for a friend. Walk my dogs. Work with a friend. Care for a sick child without taking a sick day myself. After you’ve read all the books and articles about keeping on-task when working from home, setting up the perfect home office, avoiding loneliness, staying connected, sidestepping distractions, and avoiding interruptions I’d suggest one thing: embrace interruptions. Maybe this isn’t the way of MAXIMUM IN-THE-ZONE PRODUCTIVITY but as my kids have gotten older and the days off on their own I’ve tried to be open to those interruptions. For example, my son usually goes right for my office when he gets home in the afternoon, standing with me at my desk rattling on about his day oblivious that he might be interrupting. I do my best (and sometimes it’s really hard) to stop what I’m doing, turn to him and be present. How many more of those conversations will there be? I’ll take every one I can get. My daughter comes home starving. Taking 10 minutes to make her a snack makes both of our days. She could totally do it herself and I could totally keep working but which 10 minutes am I going to remember? Which will she remember? If you have little kids (or no kids) what I’m experiencing may seem like it’s irrelevant (or at least a long way off) but I promise you it’s not. You won’t remember working a little later or catching up on Saturday because the people you love interrupted you but you’re certain to remember those little interactions. And even more, they will remember them, too. This is why I work remotely. I worked a day job and freelanced all night (while putting myself through college) when these same kids were little. I barely remember those years. Be grateful that you’re home to be interrupted at all. Today’s American worker is the most productive in the world and our productivity has increased exponentially for more than a century. An average worker needs to work a mere 11 hours per week to produce as much as one working 40 hours per week in 1950. […] the average worker could have a 29-hour workweek if he were satisfied with producing as much as a 40-hour worker as recently as 1990. — Productivity and the Workweek by Erik Rauch Of course, we’re not actually working less (we’re working more hours!) and ( If you’re fortunate to have the freedom to work remotely, great! Rejoice in your freedom to get things done when, where, and how you work best! Jump up and down because you don’t have to get in a car for your twice-daily dose of soul-sucking traffic! Inhale deeply safe from the “hero” in the next cubicle who’s sick but came to the office anyway! Enjoy lunch with your spouse instead of in the break room with Connie from accounts payable! These are all tremendous benefits that make you healthier, happier and a better worker. Now take all of that and cut yourself some slack. The work will get done. The people you love aren’t interruptions, they’re the reason you work at all. Give ’em a hug. I’m incredibly grateful to work at Basecamp where we build the tools that make working remotely possible, we even wrote a book about it.
Elizabeth I and Her People at National Portrait Gallery captures the great and good, and includes oldest depiction of guinea pig in English art The oldest guinea pig in English art, clutched by a solemn seven-year-old Tudor girl, will soon go on display at the National Portrait Gallery in London. The little animal looks more content than its anxious owner, probably secure in the knowledge that it was unlikely to become her lunch, as it certainly would have done at home in South America. The painting is believed to be by an anonymous Flemish or Dutch trained artist, much in demand among the English gentry for high-status portraits depicting every pearl and gold button. It dates from around 1580, and is believed to be the earliest depiction of the animal in England. It was painted at a time when guinea pigs, tender chunks of protein in South America, were beginning to be imported by the Spanish as exotic pets for wealthy Europeans. The identity of the three solemn children, magnificently and uncomfortably dressed at seven, six and five years old, is also unknown. The youngest is holding a goldfinch, popular pets with children because of their beautiful plumage, but often with religious overtones in portraits because the birds were also used in depictions of the infant Christ. The sturdy older brother was evidently judged too grown up at six for a pet. The portrait has been borrowed from an anonymous private owner for the exhibition opening in October, Elizabeth I and Her People. The exhibition tracks changing fashion in portraiture, with images of merchants, lawyers, goldsmiths, butchers, calligraphers, playwrights and artists. It includes likenesses of the poet and preacher John Donne and Bess of Hardwick, who became steadily more wealthy through serial marriages and built her own palatial house. The wealthy were also commissioning images of their children at a time when child mortality meant many would never reach adulthood: statistics suggest at least one of the solemn trio in the portrait would not have made it. The exhibition will feature a positive menagerie of exotic and more humble animals, including an elephant on a family crest. There is also a ring in the shape of a grasshopper, and a purse fashioned as a frog. A recently discovered miniature of Elizabeth by Isaac Oliver shows her with a peacock. Another shows her treasurer William Cecil, Lord Burghley, riding on a mule, a deceptively meek image of one of the wealthiest and most powerful men in her circle: he is recorded as relaxing from the cares of running the exchequer and a string of spies by riding around his extensive garden. Elizabeth I and Her People is at the National Portrait Gallery, London, 10 October-5 January 2014. www.npg.org.uk

Elizabeth I and Her People at National Portrait Gallery captures the great and good, and includes oldest depiction of guinea pig in English art The oldest guinea pig in English art, clutched by a solemn seven-year-old Tudor girl, will soon go on display at the National Portrait Gallery in London. The little animal looks more content than its anxious owner, probably secure in the knowledge that it was unlikely to become her lunch, as it certainly would have done at home in South America. The painting is believed to be by an anonymous Flemish or Dutch trained artist, much in demand among the English gentry for high-status portraits depicting every pearl and gold button. It dates from around 1580, and is England. It was painted at a time when guinea pigs, tender chunks of protein in South America, were beginning to be imported by the Spanish as exotic pets for wealthy Europeans. The identity of the three solemn children, magnificently and uncomfortably dressed at seven, six and five years old, is also unknown. The youngest is holding a goldfinch, popular pets with children because of their beautiful plumage, but often with religious overtones in portraits because the birds were also used in depictions of the infant Christ. The sturdy older brother was evidently judged too grown up at six for a pet. The portrait has been borrowed from an anonymous private owner for the exhibition opening in October, Elizabeth I and Her People. The exhibition tracks changing fashion in portraiture, with images of merchants, lawyers, goldsmiths, butchers, calligraphers, playwrights and artists. It includes likenesses of the poet and preacher John Donne and Bess of Hardwick, who became steadily more wealthy through serial marriages and built her own palatial house. when child mortality meant many would never reach adulthood: statistics suggest at least one of the solemn trio in the portrait would not have made it. The exhibition will feature a positive menagerie of exotic and more humble animals, including an elephant on a family crest. There is also a ring in the shape of a grasshopper, and a purse fashioned as a frog. A recently discovered miniature of Elizabeth by Isaac Oliver shows her with a peacock. Another shows her treasurer William Cecil, Lord Burghley, riding on a mule, a deceptively meek image of one of the wealthiest and most powerful men in her circle: he is recorded as relaxing from the cares of running the exchequer and a string of spies by riding around his extensive garden. Elizabeth I and Her People is at the National Portrait Gallery, London, 10 October-5 January 2014. www.npg.org.uk

The SCG Trust has reignited its bid for a new stadium at Moore Park with a modified 40,000-seat proposal now on the table. The trust's hopes of a new stadium seemed dead in the water last year after the state government ruled in favour of providing the majority of its $1.6 billion stadia investment into ANZ Stadium, ending a push for a 60,000-seat venue at Moore Park. However, Fairfax Media understands plans for a knock-down and rebuild on the existing Allianz Stadium site has gathered momentum during the past few months, with all key stakeholders set to back the proposal put forward by the SCG Trust. The plans by the Trust won't interfere with the government's pledge to turn ANZ Stadium into a permanent rectangular facility from 2019, but there is a hope Allianz Stadium will receive more than just a coat of paint once its turn comes around.

The SCG Trust has reignited its bid for a new stadium at Moore Park with a modified 40,000-seat proposal now on the table. The trust's hopes of a new stadium seemed dead in the water last year after the state government ruled in favour of providing the majority of its $1.6 billion stadia investment into ANZ Stadium, ending a push for a 60,000-seat venue at Moore Park. However, Fairfax Media understands plans for a knock-down and rebuild on the existing Allianz Stadium site has gathered momentum during the past few months, with all key stakeholders set to back the proposal put forward by the SCG Trust. The plans by the Trust won't interfere with the government's pledge to turn ANZ Stadium into a paint once its turn comes around.
MSNBC announced Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio will participate in a town hall moderated by Chuck Todd on Wednesday, just days prior to the primary in Rubio’s home state of Florida. The announcement was made as CNN reported that some of the senator’s campaign advisers were urging him to drop out before that primary, while CNN also begged him to come on their network – and replayed video of Donald Trump calling for Rubio to step out of the race. CNN is scheduled to host the next GOP debate, on Thursday. The senator recently told MSNBC that “in the ‘winner-take- all’ states, we’re going to have to win,” further emphasizing the importance of victory in Florida for the future of his campaign. Rubio has, to date, won the Republican primary in Puerto Rico and the GOP caucus in Minnesota; a win in Florida’s March 15 winner-take-all primary would land him 99 additional delegates. Rubio will take questions from Todd, NBC News’ political director, Meet the Press host and anchor of MSNBC’s MPT Daily, from 8-9 PM ET at Florida International University in Miami. It will air on MSNBC and stream online at now.MSNBC.com and NBCNews.com. Town halls with candidates are not controlled by the RNC and DNC. Fox News Channel, which has been unable to land a Dem debate from the DNC, is doing a work-around tonight when it hosts a Dem candidate town hall at which FNC anchor Bret Baier will put questions to Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. RelatedFox News Channel Offers Dem Town Hall Live Stream Without Authentication Similarly, MSNBC’s town hall with Rubio did not need an RNC sanction. NBC News was to have moderated the GOP’s February 25 debate in Houston, but the RNC yanked it from the news division because RNC chief Reince Priebus said he didn’t like the tone of CNBC’s GOP debate in October; CNBC does not report to Andy Lack, who oversees NBC News and MSNBC.

The Spanish Air Force has just suffered another deadly accident: an EF-18 Hornet from Ala 12. It’s The 12th Major Incident Involving A Hornet In The Last 17 Months. Just five days after losing a Eurofighter Typhoon at Albacete, the Ejército del Aire (Spanish Air Force) has suffered another accident this morning, when an EF-18 Hornet belonging to the Ala 12 crashed during take off from its homebase at Torrejon Air Base, near Madrid. According to the Spanish MoD, the pilot was killed in the crash. Un F-18 del Ala 12 del Ejército del Aire ha sufrido un accidente durante la maniobra de despegue dentro de la BA de Torrejón. — Ministerio Defensa (@Defensagob) October 17, 2017 Images emerging on social media show a column of smoke pouring from the crash site: Accidente de un caza cerca de la base de Torrejon. pic.twitter.com/DuLxss1hXp — Miguel Comín (@miguelcomin) October 17, 2017 No further detail about the accident and its route causes has been released at the time of writing. However, it’s worth of note that not only does the one at Torrejon is the second deadly accident in 5 days involving a Spanish combat aircraft but it is also the 12th incident involving an F/A-18 of any variant since May 2016. Dealing with the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet fleet, four aircraft were lost (fortunately resulting in 0 fatalities): two VFA-211 F/A-18F jets from NAS Oceana collided and crashed 25 miles E of the Oregon Inlet, Nags Head, NC on May 26, 2016; then, on Apr. 21, 2017, a VFA-137 F/A-18E crashed during a landing attempt on USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) in the Celebes sea, between Indonesia and the Philippines; whereas an F/A-18E of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 146 assigned to the USS Nimitz (CVN 68) departed the runway forcing the pilot to eject during an emergency landing at Bahrain International Airport on Aug. 12, 2017. Legacy Hornets are crashing at an even more alarming rate: two U.S. Marine Corps F-18 Hornets from MCAS Miramar crashed on Nov. 9, 2016, near San Diego. Another F/A-18C crashed near USMC Air Ground Combat Cente, Twentynine Palms, on Oct. 25, 2016. A U.S. Navy F/A-18C belonging to the Strike Fighter Wing Pacific, Detachment Fallon, crashed on Aug. 2, 2016, 10NM to the south of NAS Fallon. On Jul. 27, 2016 a USMC F/A-18 belonging to the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing crashed during a night strafing run on a weapons range near Twentynine Palms (killing the pilot). On Jun. 2 a Blue Angels Hornet crashed after taking off from Smyrna/Rutherford County Airport (KMQY), Smyrna, Tennessee: the only pilot on board was killed in the incident. For what concerns the international accidents (both causing the death of the pilots), a Swiss Air Force Hornet was lost on Aug. 29, 2016, a Canadian CF-188 was lost on Nov. 28, 2016, and the Spanish Hornet on Oct. 17.

The Spanish Air Force has from Ala 12. It’s The 12th Major Incident Involving A Hornet In The Last 17 Months. Just five days after losing a Eurofighter Typhoon at Albacete, the Ejército del Aire (Spanish Air Force) has suffered another accident this morning, when an EF-18 Hornet belonging to the Ala 12 crashed during take off from its homebase at Torrejon Air Base, near Madrid. According to the Spanish MoD, the pilot was killed in the crash.

However, it’s worth of note that not only does the one at Torrejon is the second deadly accident in 5 days involving a Spanish combat aircraft but it is also the 12th incident involving an F/A-18 of any variant since May 2016. Dealing with the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet fleet, four aircraft were lost (fortunately resulting in 0 fatalities): two VFA-211 F/A-18F jets from NAS Oceana collided and crashed 25 miles E of the Oregon Inlet, Nags Head, NC on May 26, 2016; then, on Apr. 21, 2017, a VFA-137 F/A-18E crashed during a landing attempt on USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) in the Celebes sea, between Indonesia and the Philippines; whereas an F/A-18E of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 146 assigned to the USS Nimitz (CVN 68) departed the runway forcing the pilot to eject during an emergency landing at Bahrain International Airport on Aug. 12, 2017. Legacy Hornets are crashing at an even more alarming rate: two U.S. Marine Corps F-18 Hornets from MCAS Miramar crashed on Nov. 9, 2016, near San Diego. Another F/A-18C crashed near USMC Air Ground Combat Cente, Twentynine Palms, on Oct. 25, 2016. A U.S. Navy F/A-18C belonging to the Strike Fighter Wing Pacific, Detachment Fallon, crashed on Aug. 2, 2016, 10NM to the south of NAS Fallon. On Jul. 27, 2016 a USMC F/A-18 belonging to the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing crashed during a night strafing run on a weapons range near Twentynine Palms (killing the pilot). On Jun. 2 a Blue Angels Hornet crashed after taking off from Smyrna/Rutherford County Airport (KMQY), Smyrna, Tennessee: the only pilot on board was killed in the incident. For what concerns the international accidents (both causing the death of the pilots), a Swiss Air Force Hornet was lost on Aug. 29, 2016, a Canadian CF-188 was lost on Nov. 28, 2016, and the Spanish Hornet on Oct. 17.
Aucklanders are being offered thousands of dollars to host neighbourhood barbecues in what has been described as a "diabolical use of ratepayers' money" by the Auckland Ratepayers Association. Local boards across Auckland are offering a total of $27,000, dished out in $200 grants, for neighbourhoods to throw street parties and events, including barbecues. SUPPLIED The grants cannot be used to purchase alcohol. The funds are part of an initiative to bring neighbours together for the national Neighbours Day event on March 25 and 26. Eight of Auckland's 21 local boards have Neighbours Day funds. Henderson-Massey allocates the most funding, with $6000 on offer to its residents. READ MORE: * Auckland Council staff given tips to deal with awkward questions * Councils trial rubbish bins with smart technology * How to be the best barbecue host this summer The Albert-Eden Local Board initiated the first ever fund in 2012. Board member Margi Watson said the idea behind the fund was simple - to make more connected neighbourhoods. "Our small grants are for street-based events such as a street barbecue, a bouncy castle, or any activities that turn strangers into neighbours," Watson said. Watson said the Albert-Eden Local Board allocated $5000 of funding towards the 2017 event. Nicola Strawbridge lives on Halston Rd in Balmoral which used a grant in 2014 to host a street party. She said the event was a catalyst as the street now got together every Neighbours Day without the help of the grant. "There is a great team from the neighbourhood who applied for the original grant in 2014. The following years numerous people have stepped up to organise the event," Strawbridge said. She said the annual events had built a more resilient neighbourhood that was well connected. "Last year I was involved in the most amazing experience of introducing neighbours who had lived on the street for 25 plus years but had never met before," Strawbridge said. The grants have come under fire from the Auckland Ratepayers Association, with spokeswoman Jo Holmes saying they are a "diabolical use of ratepayers' money". "Of all the wastes of money that Auckland City Council is engaged in this is one of the biggest wastes of ratepayers money I have ever heard of," Holmes said. "I think it is just appalling that other ratepayers who really can't afford it are subsidising this type of activity," she said. "When the roads have got potholes, the park tracks don't get cut, and a host of other things are not happening, I am sure to any person with common sense would see this as a monumental waste of money," she said. Despite the criticism Watson defended the grants, saying feedback had shown they were an overwhelming success. "When streets are more connected and looking out for one another research shows crime rates in that area drop," Watson said. A person applying for a grant must fill out an application form specifying what the money will be spent on. The event must include 10 or more households from the local board area and it cannot be used to purchase alcohol.

Aucklanders are being offered thousands of dollars to host neighbourhood barbecues in what has been described as a "diabolical use of ratepayers' money" by the Auckland Ratepayers Association. Local boards across Auckland are offering a total of $27,000, dished out in $200 grants, for neighbourhoods to throw street parties and events, including barbecues. SUPPLIED The grants cannot be used to purchase alcohol. The funds are part of an initiative to bring neighbours together for the national Neighbours Day event on March 25 and 26. Eight of Auckland's 21 local boards have Neighbours Day funds. Henderson-Massey allocates the most funding, with $6000 on offer to its residents.

"Our small grants are for street-based events such as a street barbecue, a bouncy castle, or any activities that turn strangers into neighbours," Watson said. Watson said the Albert-Eden Local Board allocated $5000 of funding towards the 2017 event. Nicola Strawbridge lives on Halston Rd in Balmoral which used a grant in 2014 to host a street party. She said the event was a catalyst as the street now got together every Neighbours Day without the help of the grant. "There is a great team from the neighbourhood who applied for the original grant in 2014. The following years numerous people have stepped up to organise the event," Strawbridge said. She said the annual events had built a more resilient neighbourhood that was well connected. "Last year I was involved in the most amazing experience of introducing neighbours who had lived on the street for 25 plus years but had never met before," Strawbridge said. The grants have come under fire from the Auckland Ratepayers Association, with spokeswoman Jo Holmes saying they are a "diabolical use of ratepayers' money". "Of all the wastes of money that Auckland City Council is engaged in this is one of the biggest wastes of ratepayers money I have ever heard of," Holmes said. "I think it is just appalling that other ratepayers who really can't afford it are subsidising this type of activity," she said. "When the roads have got potholes, the park tracks don't get cut, and a host of other things are not happening, I am sure to any person with common sense would see this as a monumental waste of money," she said. Despite the criticism Watson defended the an overwhelming success. "When streets are more connected and looking out for one another research shows crime rates in that area drop," Watson said. A person applying for a grant must fill out an application form specifying what the money will be spent on. The event must include 10 or more households from the local board area and it cannot be used to purchase alcohol.
A woman was captured on hospital CCTV pleading for a caesarean moments before she killed herself (Picture: Peoples Daily Online) This is the distressing moment a heavily pregnant woman begged her family for a caesarean moments before she fell from the fifth floor and died. Shocking footage shows the 26-year-old woman, whose surname is Ma, pleading for a caesarean after her baby’s head, which was too large for a natural delivery, caused her intense pain. Just hours later, the woman reportedly killed herself when her family, who under Chinese law had to give permission, refused her surgery.

The woman, who was reportedly 41 weeks pregnant, cannot stand unaided as she is visibly upset and in pain. Doctors examined her and determined that she needed a caesarean as she was not able to give birth naturally because the baby’s head was too big. But her family insisted on a natural birth and refused her the right to undergo the procedure. The woman was reportedly 41 weeks pregnant at the time (Picture: Peoples Daily Online) Under Chinese law, family must give their permission for a woman to have a C-section. The woman fell to her death from the fifth floor after repeatedly trying to leave the medical centre. Her unborn baby also died in the incident.

But her family insisted on a natural birth and refused her the right to undergo the procedure. The woman was reportedly 41 weeks pregnant at the time (Picture: Peoples Daily Online) Under Chinese law, family must give their permission for a woman to have a C-section.

Worst drought of last 100 years Droughts have become more frequent and prolonged in Portugal, with a decrease in the annual average rainfall, which mainly affects the south, said climate expert Filipe Duarte Santos. Compared to the years since 1960, the annual average rainfall has decreased across the Iberian Peninsula and in other areas in the Mediterranean. “In Portugal’s case the decrease is around 40 millimetres per decade which is a significant amount, so 200 millimetres of rain in half a century, that is 20 centimetres of water, said the professor. The numbers are particularly higher in the south: in the interior of the Alentejo the annual average rainfall was 500 millimetres before the reduction. The current drought in Portugal has been considered the most intense, prolonged and worst of the last 100 years. A drought like this in the Middle Ages would have been dramatic, the country would have been in deep hunger crisis, he added.

Mumbai: India’s leading digital payments firm Paytm plans to launch a messaging service to rival Facebook Inc’s WhatsApp by the end of this month, a source familiar with the matter said on Tuesday. SoftBank and Alibaba-backed Paytm is seeking to attract people in India to use the new messaging service embedded in its app, which many already use to buy everything from food to plane tickets. Paytm’s messaging service will allow users to send audio, video and pictures and texts, the source, who declined to be named, said. Paytm currently has more than 225 million users. Earlier this year, another home grown messaging platform Hike rolled out an in-app electronic payments service to cash in on rising digital transactions in India. E-payments in India surged after the country banned old high-value currency notes late last year. Firms like Paytm have since rapidly increased their market share. Digital payments in India would jump nearly 10 times to $500 billion by 2020, according to a 2016 report by Boston Consulting Group. WhatsApp itself has been looking at moving into digital payment services in India. The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday was first to report Paytm’s plan to launch a messaging service. Paytm did not respond to an email seeking comment while WhatsApp was not immediately reachable for comment. Reuters

The case carries potential significance for future cases involving temporary seizure of property. The Supreme Court building in Washington, under a protective scrim, as work continues on the facade. (Photo11: By Alex Brandon, AP) Story Highlights Even temporary flooding of land constitutes a "taking" Decision upholds claim by Arkansas against U.S. Case sent back to appeals court for further review WASHINGTON -- What the government taketh, the government must pay for. That was the 8-0 ruling of the Supreme Court on Tuesday in a case that involved water, water everywhere for Arkansas wildlife officials for several months a year from 1993 to 2000 -- water released at a federal dam that flooded state forest land and made it temporarily unusable. The question before the justices was simple: Did the flooding constitute a "taking" of property deserving of compensation, even though it was temporary? The lowest federal court said yes. The appeals court said no. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, writing for the full court except for Justice Elena Kagan who did not take part in the case, said the government's actions did amount to a taking. "Government acquisition or invasion of property can be a taking even when temporary in nature," Ginsburg said. "These settled holdings lead us to conclude that government-induced flooding of limited duration, but severe impact, can amount to a taking of property warranting just compensation." The Army Corps of Engineers released water from the Black River dam to help farmers. But the water wound up on the property of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, damaging or destroying forest timber. For that, state officials said, they should be compensated -- and the U.S. Court of Federal Claims awarded $5.5 million. The appeals court reversed that decision on the basis that the flooding was temporary, but Ginsburg rejected that blanket exemption. "Given no persuasive reason to treat flooding as a unique category, we reject the temporary-flooding exception on which the Federal Circuit grounded its decision," she said.

The case carries potential significance for future cases involving temporary seizure of property. The Supreme Court building in Washington, under a protective scrim, as work continues Brandon, AP) Story Highlights Even temporary flooding of land constitutes a "taking" Decision upholds claim by Arkansas against U.S. Case sent back to appeals court for further review WASHINGTON -- What the government taketh, the government must pay for. That was the 8-0 ruling of the Supreme Court on Tuesday in a case that involved water, water everywhere for Arkansas wildlife officials for several months a year from 1993 to 2000 -- water released at a federal dam that flooded state forest land and made it temporarily unusable. The question before the justices was simple: Did the flooding constitute a "taking" of property deserving of compensation, even though it was temporary? The lowest federal court said yes. The appeals court said no. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, writing for the full court except for Justice Elena Kagan who did not take part in the case, said the government's actions did amount to a taking. "Government acquisition or invasion of property can be a taking even when temporary in nature," Ginsburg said. "These settled holdings lead us to conclude that government-induced flooding of limited duration, but severe impact, can amount to a taking of property warranting just compensation." The Army Corps property of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, damaging or destroying forest timber. For that, state officials said, they should be compensated -- and the U.S. Court of Federal Claims awarded $5.5 million. The appeals court reversed that decision on the basis that the flooding was temporary, but Ginsburg rejected that blanket exemption. "Given no persuasive reason to treat flooding as a unique category, we reject the temporary-flooding exception on which the Federal Circuit grounded its decision," she said.

The daily allowance for a person's sugar intake should be halved to six teaspoons, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has said. Draft guidance published by the international body advises a dramatic reduction in sugar consumption to help avoid mounting health problems including obesity and tooth decay. The WHO is proposing to retain its current formal recommendation that no more than 10 per cent of an individual's calories should come from sugar – the equivalent of 12 "level" teaspoons a day for the average adult. However, its draft guidelines state that a further reduction to 5 per cent "would have additional benefits". The lower limit amounts to around six teaspoons – less than the levels of sugar in a 50g Mars Bar. The move comes amid growing evidence that sugar contributes to a range of chronic diseases. It follows calls by scientists for the recommendation to be halved. The WHO's announcement comes after a study by the University of Southern California found that eating too much protein could be as dangerous as smoking for middle–aged people. Separately a leading heart scientist has warned that NHS guidelines advising people to cut down on high–fat foods may be putting the public at risk. Dr James DiNicolantonio warns that more focus is needed on the "harms" of consuming high levels of carbohydrates and sugar. The WHO limits apply to all "free" sugar, which is sugar that is added to foods by the manufacturer, plus that naturally present in honey, syrups, and fruit juices. The announcement came after Dame Sally Davies, Britain's chief medical officer, suggested a sugar tax to curb obesity rates. Dr Francesco Branca, director for nutrition for health and development at the WHO, warned that obesity already affected half a billion people. The recommendation for less than 5 per cent was important because it told countries that reductions to "below 5 per cent are even better", he said. The WHO warned that much of the sugars consumed today were "hidden" in processed foods "that are not usually seen as sweets". Dr Branca said a single can of fizzy drink could exceed the amount of sugar that children should have in a day under the current limits, which are reflected in NHS guidance. The new draft guidelines, which are now out to consultation, were published after the WHO considered a report by scientists at Newcastle University which suggested the limit should be halved to reduce tooth decay. The Action on Sugar campaign group, which also backs the move as a way of helping to tackle obesity and chronic diseases such as diabetes, said the WHO's proposals should have gone further and halved the 10 per cent recommendation. Dr Aseem Malhotra, science director of Action on Sugar, said: "It is a step in the right direction because they have acknowledged it should be less than 5 per cent, but it needs to be translated into something meaningful for the consumer." The industry denies the claims over the effect of sugar on health, saying expert committees had found that the “balance of evidence” exonerated the substance from contributing to “lifestyle diseases”. However the WHO warned of “increasing concern” that consumption of free sugars can contribute towards diseases such as diabetes and tooth decay. Alison Tedstone, Director of Nutrition and Diet at Public Health England (PHE), the official advisory body, said: “PHE welcome the new WHO draft guidelines to reduce sugar intake to 10 per cent of total daily calorie intake and will carefully consider the suggestion that a further reduction of sugar to below 5 per cent of total energy intake per day would have additional benefits." A Department of Health spokesman added: "We are already making real progress in getting food and drink manufacturers to cut the amount of calories, including sugar, in their foods through the public health Responsibility Deal." Barbara Gallani, director of regulation, science and health at the Food and Drink Federation, an industry body, said manufacturers were already working to reduce overall calories. She added: “Where a conditional recommendation of a further reduction of sugars intake to below 5 per cent of total energy is made, the report cautions that there is greater uncertainty about the quality of the underpinning science base. WHO emphasise the need for ‘substantial debate and involvement of stakeholders before this recommendation can be adopted as policy’." John Yudkin: the man who tried to warn us about sugar

The daily allowance for a person's sugar intake should be halved to six teaspoons, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has said. Draft guidance published by the international body advises a dramatic reduction in sugar consumption to help avoid mounting health problems including obesity and tooth decay. The WHO is proposing to retain its current formal recommendation that no more than 10 per cent of an individual's calories should come from sugar – the equivalent of 12 "level" teaspoons a day for the average adult. However, its draft guidelines state that a further reduction to 5 per cent "would have additional benefits". The lower limit amounts to around six teaspoons – less than the levels of sugar in a 50g Mars Bar. The move comes amid growing evidence that sugar contributes to a range of chronic diseases. It follows calls by scientists for the recommendation to be halved. The WHO's announcement comes after a study by the University of Southern California found that eating too much protein could be as dangerous as smoking for middle–aged people. Separately a leading heart scientist has warned that NHS guidelines advising people to cut down on high–fat foods may be putting the public at risk. Dr James DiNicolantonio warns that more focus is needed on the "harms" of consuming high levels of carbohydrates and sugar. The WHO limits apply to all "free" sugar, which is sugar that is added to foods by the manufacturer, plus that naturally present in honey, syrups, and fruit juices. The announcement came after Dame Sally Davies, Britain's chief medical officer, suggested a sugar tax to curb obesity rates. Dr Francesco Branca, director for nutrition for health and development at the WHO, warned that obesity already affected half a billion people. The recommendation for less than 5 per cent was important because it told countries that reductions to "below 5 per cent are even better", he said. The WHO warned that much of the sugars consumed today were "hidden" in processed foods "that are not usually seen as sweets". Dr Branca said a single can of fizzy drink could exceed the amount of sugar that children should have in a day under the current limits, which are reflected in NHS guidance. The new draft guidelines, which are now out to consultation, were published after the WHO considered a report by scientists at Newcastle University which suggested the limit should be halved to reduce tooth decay. The Action on Sugar campaign group, which also backs the move as a way of helping to tackle obesity and chronic diseases such as diabetes, said the WHO Dr Aseem Malhotra, science director of Action on Sugar, said: "It is a step in the right direction because they have acknowledged it should be less than 5 per cent, but it needs to be translated into something meaningful for the consumer." The industry denies the claims over the effect of sugar on health, saying expert committees had found that the “balance of evidence” exonerated the substance from contributing to “lifestyle diseases”. However the WHO warned of “increasing concern and tooth decay. Alison Tedstone, Director of Nutrition and Diet at Public Health England (PHE), the official advisory body, said: “PHE welcome the new WHO draft guidelines to reduce sugar intake to 10 per cent of total daily calorie intake and will carefully consider the suggestion that a further reduction of sugar to below 5 per cent of total energy intake per day would have additional benefits." A Department of Health spokesman added: "We are already making real progress in getting food and drink manufacturers to cut the amount of calories, including sugar, in their foods through the public health Responsibility Deal." Barbara Gallani, director of regulation, science and health at the Food and Drink Federation, an industry body, said manufacturers were already working to reduce overall calories. She added: “Where a conditional recommendation of a further reduction of sugars intake to below 5 per cent of total energy is made, the report cautions that there is greater uncertainty about the quality of the underpinning science base. WHO emphasise the need for ‘substantial debate and involvement of stakeholders before this recommendation can be adopted as policy’." John Yudkin: the man who tried to warn us about sugar
A dozen Canadian politicians are headed to Washington next week for another series of meetings to stress the importance of the Canada-U.S. relationship. A mix of MPs from all parties, and several senators have lined up talks with 70 U.S. lawmakers, over three days starting Monday. "We've never seen as much interest on the American side in terms of meeting Canadians, and we will talk about quite a number of issues," said Wayne Easter, the co-chair of the Canada-United States Inter-Parliamentary Group (IPG). The IPG typically visits Washington every year, but with the unpredictable Trump administration now in power, members are facing added pressure to ensure the relationship runs smoothly. The meetings also come just days after President Trump's nominee for U.S. Trade Representative was urged to "get tough" with Canada on lingering trade irritants, like softwood lumber. On Tuesday, at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee hearing on Robert Lighthizer's nomination, officials also called for more than just minor changes with Canada on NAFTA. Robert Lighthizer smiles before a Senate Finance Committee confirmation hearing on his nomination to be U.S. trade representative on Capitol Hill in Washington, on Tuesday. (Yuri Gripas/Reuters) Targeted pitches for co-operation Canadian delegates will be prepared to make targeted pitches to their U.S. counterparts for continued co-operation on trade. "We have all the states broken down in terms of how important that trading relationship is, the number of jobs, what Canadian companies operate in the U.S., what we export to them, what they export to us," Easter said. "The bottom line is nine million American jobs depend on the Canadian trading relationship." But Easter does acknowledge there will likely be some friction. "I think a point of contention that is really festering, is the softwood lumber issue," he said. "I think the Minister of Global Affairs, Minister of International Trade… are working hard on those issues, and making some gains. But that clearly looks like we will face tariffs in the not-too-distant future." Trade will be just one of several issues discussed. An emphasis will also be put on defence, the environment and energy. Malpeque MP Wayne Easter, co-chair of the Canada-U.S. Inter-Parliamentary Group, poses for a photo in Washington, earlier this month. (Wayne Easter/Twitter) Challenging 'buy American' Canadian officials will also try to chip away support for Trump's "buy American" movement. Easter describes the concept as a concern, saying delegates will try to show U.S. lawmakers that kind of policy may be harmful for both countries, particularly when it comes to infrastructure projects. "If the administration is 100 per cent forceful in buying American, it will affect their economy, because everything as a result of the NAFTA agreement and free trade before it, to a great extent, works on supply chains." "In order to get the most competitive product… typically some of that product is Canadian. So the impact is not only on Canada that they might not be buying our product, but the impact is on the American economy as well, that it might be a more expensive product." "So we need to explain that, explain how supply chain works, and how both our economies can come forward together," Easter added.

A dozen Canadian politicians are headed to Washington next week for another series of meetings to stress the importance of the Canada-U.S. relationship. A mix of MPs from all parties, and several senators have lined up talks with 70 U.S. lawmakers, over three days much interest on the American side in terms of meeting Canadians, and we will talk about quite a number of issues," said Wayne Easter, the co-chair of the Canada-United States Inter-Parliamentary Group (IPG). The IPG typically visits Washington every year, but with the unpredictable Trump administration now in power, members are facing added pressure to ensure the relationship runs smoothly. The meetings also come just days after President Trump's nominee for U.S. Trade Representative was urged to "get tough" with Canada on lingering trade irritants, like softwood lumber. On Tuesday, at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee hearing on Robert Lighthizer's nomination, officials also called for more than just minor changes with Canada on NAFTA. Robert Lighthizer smiles before a Senate Finance Committee confirmation hearing on his nomination to be U.S. trade representative on Capitol Hill in Washington, on Tuesday. (Yuri Gripas/Reuters) Targeted pitches for co-operation Canadian delegates will be prepared to make targeted pitches to their U.S. counterparts for continued co-operation on trade. "We have all the states broken down in terms of how important that trading relationship is, the number of jobs, what Canadian companies operate in the U.S., what we export to them, what they export to us," Easter said. "The bottom line is nine million American jobs depend on the Canadian trading relationship." But Easter does acknowledge there will likely be some friction. "I think a point of contention that is really festering, is the softwood lumber issue," he said. "I think the Minister of Global Affairs, Minister of International Trade… are working hard on those issues, and making some gains. But that clearly looks like we will face tariffs in the not-too-distant future." Trade will be just one of several issues discussed. An emphasis will also be put on defence, the environment and energy.

(Wayne Easter/Twitter) Challenging 'buy American' Canadian officials will also try to chip away support for Trump's "buy American" movement. Easter describes the concept as a concern, saying delegates will try to show U.S. lawmakers that kind of policy may be harmful for both countries, particularly when it comes to infrastructure projects. "If the administration is 100 per cent forceful in buying American, it will affect their economy, because everything as a result of the NAFTA agreement and free trade before it, to a great extent, product… typically some of that product is Canadian. So the impact is not only on Canada that they might not be buying our product, but the impact is on the American economy as well, that it might be a more expensive product." "So we need to explain that, explain how supply chain works, and how both our economies can come forward together," Easter added.
The last UEFA Women's EURO 2017 qualifying group stage games are played on Tuesday with four berths to be decided and two more teams going into October's play-offs. Sweden, Belgium, Iceland and Scotland have joined the seven teams previously confirmed of places in the Netherlands over the last week, We explains who needs what to book qualification regardless of results in other groups. Qualified: Netherlands (hosts), Germany (holders), Belgium (debut), England, France, Iceland, Norway, Scotland (debut) Spain, Sweden, Switzerland Confirmed at least play-off: Romania, Denmark, Russia, Italy, Austria Can still qualify: Finland, Portugal • The last qualifying group stage games are on Tuesday. • The eight group winners and six best runners-up (not counting results against fifth-placed teams) will join hosts the Netherlands in the final tournament from 16 July–6 August 2017. • The other two runners-up will play off over two legs from 17–25 October for the remaining berth in the expanded 16-team finals (after a draw, on 23 September, to determine who is at home in which leg). • Results • Latest standings Group 1 Iceland and Scotland qualified on Friday, confirmed as at least one of the best runners-up after Finland lost to Portugal in Group 2. Iceland, yet to drop a point of concede a goal, need only avoid a four-goal defeat at home to Scotland on Tuesday to win the group. Can Finland join Spain? ©Vijesti Group 2 Spain have qualified, winning the group by beating Montenegro 13-0 on Thursday. The next day Portugal came back from two down to beat Finland 3-2 and move to within three points of second place. With Portugal having a better head-to-head, they would finish second and earn at least a debut play-off if they win in the Republic of Ireland and Finland lose in Spain on Tuesday. Points for Finland could well mean automatic qualification and if Portugal win, they might reach the finals without a play-off if Romania and Russia lose. Group 3 France, already qualified, drew 1-1 with Brazil in a friendly on Friday and then face Albania in their last group match on Tuesday, the first games under under their new coach Olivier Echouafni. Romania have clinched at least a first-ever play-off thanks to a 2-1 victory against Ukraine on Thursday. Romania welcome Greece on Tuesday hoping a win could give them a chance of automatic qualification. Sweden are in the finals ©Boris Kharchenko Group 4 Sweden, fresh from claiming Olympic silver, clinched their finals place on Thursday by beating Slovakia 2-1 to win the group with seven perfect wins. Fellow 2013 semi-finalists Denmark will finish second and know a point against Sweden next Tuesday would definitely mean avoiding the play-offs (they can afford to lose if two of Finland, Russia and Romania fail to win). Group 5 Holders and Olympic gold-medallists Germany have qualified without dropping a point or conceding a goal and won 4-0 in Russia on Friday their first outing under new coach Steffi Jones. Russia, confirmed in second, must get something against Croatia on Tuesday to have a chance of qualifying automatically. Italy and the Czech Republic meet in a crucial game ©Pavel Jiřík Group 6 Switzerland have qualified for the first time and on Friday Italy secured second place with a 3-0 win in Northern Ireland, who were eliminated along with the Czech Republic. Italy will qualify by beating the Czech Republic on Tuesday or if any two of Russia, Finland and Romania fail to win. Group 7 England had qualified before these fixtures and Belgium have earned a debut finals after beating Serbia 3-1 on Thursday and seeing Finland lose on Friday. Belgium will overtake England with a win when the unbeaten duo play on Tuesday. Group 8 Two-time champions Norway have qualified as group winners and Austria will finish second. Austria will qualify for the first time with a drawi in Wales next Tuesday or if any two of Finland, Romania or Russia fail to win. Current best runners-up standings (bottom two to play off) 1 Scotland 12pts, GD +9, scored 14 (Qualified, could win group) 2 Belgium 11, +13, 16 (Qualified, could win group) 3 Denmark 10, +10, 11 4 Austria 10, +9, 13 5 Italy 9, +4, 10 6 Finland 7, +3, 9 (Portugal [4, -5, 5] can overtake Finland) 7 Romania 7, -1, 7 8 Russia 7, -2, 7

The last UEFA Women's EURO 2017 qualifying group stage games are played on Tuesday with four berths to be decided and two more teams going into October's play-offs. Sweden, Belgium, Iceland and Scotland have joined the seven teams previously confirmed of places in the Netherlands over the last week, We explains who needs what to book qualification regardless of results in other groups. Qualified: Netherlands (hosts), Germany (holders), Belgium (debut), England, France, Iceland, Norway, Scotland (debut) Spain, Sweden, Switzerland Confirmed at least play-off: Romania, Denmark, Russia, Italy • The last qualifying group stage games are on Tuesday. • The eight group winners and six best runners-up (not counting results against fifth-placed teams) will join hosts the Netherlands in the final tournament from 16 July–6 August 2017. • The other two runners-up will play off over two legs from 17–25 October for the remaining berth in the expanded 16-team finals (after a draw, on 23 September, to determine who is at home in which leg). • Results • Latest standings Group 1 Iceland and Scotland qualified on Friday, confirmed as at least one of the best runners-up after Finland lost to Portugal in Group 2. Iceland, yet to drop a point of concede a goal, need only avoid a four-goal defeat at home to Scotland on Tuesday to win the group. Can Finland join Spain? ©Vijesti Group 2 Spain have qualified, winning the group by beating Montenegro 13-0 on Thursday. The next day Portugal came back from two down to beat Finland 3-2 and move to within three points of second place. With Portugal having a better head-to-head, they would finish second and earn at least a debut play-off if they win in the Republic of Ireland and Finland lose in Spain on Tuesday. Points for Finland could well mean automatic qualification and if Portugal win, they might reach the finals without a play-off if Romania and Russia lose. Group 3 France, already qualified, drew 1-1 with Brazil in a friendly on Friday and then face Albania in their last group match on Tuesday, the first games under under their new coach Olivier Echouafni. Romania have clinched at least a first-ever play-off thanks to a 2-1 victory against Ukraine on Thursday. Romania welcome Greece on Tuesday hoping a win could give them a chance of automatic qualification. Sweden are in the finals ©Boris Kharchenko Group 4 Sweden, fresh from claiming Olympic silver, clinched their finals place on Thursday by beating Slovakia 2-1 to win the group with seven perfect wins. Fellow 2013 semi-finalists Denmark will finish second and know a point against Sweden next Tuesday would definitely mean avoiding the play-offs (they can afford to lose if two of Finland, Russia and Romania fail to win). Group 5 Holders and Olympic gold-medallists Germany have qualified without dropping a point or conceding a goal and won 4-0 in Russia on Friday their first outing under new coach Steffi Jones. Russia, confirmed in second, must get something against Croatia on Tuesday to have a chance of qualifying automatically. Italy and the Czech Republic meet in a crucial game ©Pavel Jiřík Group 6 Switzerland have qualified for the first time and on Friday Italy secured second place with a 3-0 win in Northern Ireland, who were eliminated along with the Czech Republic. Italy will qualify by beating the Czech Republic on Tuesday or if any two of Russia, Finland and Romania fail to win. Group 7 England had qualified before these fixtures and Belgium have earned a debut finals after beating Serbia 3-1 on Thursday and seeing Finland lose on Friday. Belgium will overtake England with a win when the unbeaten duo play on Tuesday. Group 8 Two-time champions Norway have qualified as group winners and Austria will finish second. Austria will qualify for the first time with a drawi in Wales next Tuesday or if any two of Finland, Romania or Russia fail to win. Current best runners-up, GD +9, scored 14 (Qualified, could win group) 2 Belgium 11, +13, 16 (Qualified, could win group) 3 Denmark 10, +10, 11 4 Austria 10, +9, 13 5 Italy 9, +4, 10 6 Finland 7, +3, 9 (Portugal [4, -5, 5] can overtake Finland) 7 Romania 7, -1, 7 8 Russia 7, -2, 7
A former sheriff's deputy in Florida has been arrested and accused of sexually assaulting a woman while he was on duty, St. Lucie County Sheriff Ken Mascara said. Evan Cramer, 28, made a first appearance in court Thursday morning and was ordered held under $850,000 bond. He was charged with sexual assault/battery and unlawful compensation, the sheriff's department said. At a news briefing posted on the department's Facebook page, Mascara said a woman walked into a medical center about 7 p.m. Tuesday and said she'd been sexually assaulted by a law enforcement officer. The sheriff said an investigation determined Cramer stopped a woman for a minor traffic offense about 12:30 a.m. Tuesday without notifying dispatch and determined she had outstanding arrest warrants. Cramer "negotiated a sex act in exchange for not going to jail," put the woman in his patrol vehicle and drove less than 2 miles to a vacant lot, where the sex act took place, the sheriff said. The woman went home about 2 a.m. Tuesday but didn't go to the medical center until much later that day because she feared the deputy, Mascara said. "She was terrified," he said. "You could hear it in her voice. ... It was palpable." Cramer started with the department as a reserve deputy on May 1 and became a full-time deputy October 1, Mascara said. It's possible similar incidents have happened, Mascara said. He urged any other victims to contact the sheriff's office. "He made comments to this victim that support that he's done this in the past," the sheriff said. "He actually compared her to other victims. It's apparent there are some other victims out there, based on his own statements." CNN affiliate WPTV reported that Cramer asked for a public defender and pleaded not guilty. The judge ordered him to have no contact with the victim or witnesses if he gets out of jail. "During a time in our nation when respect for law enforcement is at an all-time high, incidents such as this quickly erode that trust and respect," Mascara said. "I want to apologize to our community and other members of the law enforcement family for the dishonorable actions of this one person."

Cramer "negotiated a sex act in exchange for not going to jail," put the woman in his patrol vehicle and drove less than 2 miles to a vacant lot, where the sex act took place, the sheriff said. The woman went home about 2 a.m. Tuesday but didn't go to the medical center until much later that day because she feared the deputy, Mascara said. "She was terrified," he said. "You could hear it in her voice. ... It was palpable." Cramer started with the department as a reserve deputy on May 1 and became a full-time deputy October 1, Mascara said. It's possible similar incidents have happened, Masc other victims to contact the sheriff's office. "He made comments to this victim that support that he's done this in the past," the sheriff said. "He actually compared her to other victims. It's apparent there are some other victims out there, based on his own statements." CNN affiliate WPTV reported that Cramer asked for a public defender and pleaded not guilty. The judge ordered him to have no contact with the victim or witnesses if he gets out of jail. "During a time in our nation when respect for law enforcement is at an all-time high, incidents such as this quickly erode that trust and respect," Mascara said. "I want to apologize to our community and other members of the law enforcement family for the dishonorable actions of this one person."
Image caption John Craven presented the show from 1972 until 1989 BBC programme Newsround is to be honoured at this year's British Academy of Film and Television Arts Children's Awards, it has been announced. The Special Award is being presented to the CBBC news show in recognition of its "significant contribution" to programming, organisers said. Newsround's first and longest-serving presenter John Craven will collect the gong on 27 November. "Newsround was and always will be my little baby," Craven said. The programme began in 1972 with a team of just three people, which included Craven as the presenter. 'Deeply honoured' "Newsround was the first show of its kind in the world and I'm deeply thankful to Bafta for recognising it as such," he said in statement. "Newsround was and always will be my little baby and I couldn't be more proud of it now it's all grown up." The BBC's political editor Nick Robinson will present the prize to Craven, who will be joined by creator Edward Barnes and current presenter Ore Oduba. Image caption The team now produce 50 bulletins a week across CBBC, BBC One and BBC Two "I am deeply honoured and profoundly grateful to Bafta for this recognition of Newsround - the world's first regular news bulletin for children," Mr Barnes said. "I hope that the importance of a news bulletin which reports the children's world and also provides children with an insight and understanding of world events will always be recognised and given a prominent place in children's television." The programme was originally broadcast twice a week, but now is on every day. The team now produce 50 bulletins a week across CBBC, BBC One and BBC Two to an audience of over 800,000. Newsround also produces special 15-minute documentaries, which are aired on both CBBC and BBC One. Last year, the Living with Alcohol programme won the Bafta for best children's factual programme. Newsround was the first British television programme to break the news of the loss of the Space Shuttle Challenger on 28 January 1986 when the shuttle exploded just 15 minutes before the show aired. CBBC drama Just William has picked up three nominations at this year's Children's Baftas.

Video Chinese hackers have attacked Tesla electric cars from afar, using exploits that can activate brakes, unlock doors, and fold mirrors from up to 20 kilometres (12 miles) away while the cars are in motion. Keen Security Lab senior researchers Sen Nie, Ling Liu, and Wen Lu, along with director Samuel Lv, demonstrated the hacks against a Tesla Model S P85 and 75D and say their efforts will work on multiple Tesla models. The Shanghai, China-based hacking firm has withheld details of the world-first zero day attacks and privately disclosed the flaws to Tesla. The firm worked on the attack for several months, eventually gaining access to the motor that moves the driver's seat, turning on indicators, opening the car’s sunroof and activating window wipers. Keen Security Lab’s attacks also appear to compromise the touch screen that controls many of a Tesla's functions. “We are able to fold the side mirrors when drivers are changing lanes,” Nie says in the demonstration. “All attacks are contactless without physically modifying the car.” The team demonstrate the remote attacks by triggering very sudden braking while director Lv’s model 75D was in motion at slow speed in a car park. The researchers compromised the Teslas in both parking and driving modes. Director Lv says this type of research is important as cars become more automated and tech-dependent. He urged drivers to apply any updates when Telsa makes them available. A Tesla spokesman told El Reg: "Within just 10 days of receiving this report, Tesla has already deployed an over-the-air software update (v7.1, 2.36.31) that addresses the potential security issues. The issue demonstrated is only triggered when the web browser is used, and also required the car to be physically near to and connected to a malicious Wi-Fi hotspot. Our realistic estimate is that the risk to our customers was very low, but this did not stop us from responding quickly." They continued: "We engaged with the security research community to test the security of our products so that we can fix potential vulnerabilities before they result in issues for our customers.

Video Chinese hackers have attacked Tesla electric cars from afar, using exploits that can activate brakes, unlock doors, and fold mirrors from up to 20 kilometres (12 miles) away while the cars are in motion. Keen Security Lab senior researchers Sen Nie, Ling Liu, and Wen Lu, along with director Samuel Lv, demonstrated the hacks against a Tesla Model S P85 and 75D and say their efforts will work on multiple Tesla models. The Shanghai, China-based hacking firm has withheld details of the world-first zero day attacks and privately disclosed the flaws to Tesla. The firm worked on the attack for several months, eventually gaining access to the motor that moves the driver's seat, turning on indicators, opening the car’s sunroof and activating window wipers. Keen Security Lab’s attacks also appear to compromise the touch screen that controls many of a Tesla's functions. “We are able to fold the side mirrors when drivers are changing lanes,” Nie says in the demonstration. “All attacks are contactless without physically modifying the car.” The team demonstrate the sudden braking while director Lv’s model 75D was in motion at slow speed in a car park. The researchers compromised the Teslas in both parking and driving modes. Director Lv says this type of research is important as cars become more automated and tech-dependent. He urged drivers to apply any updates when Telsa makes them available. A Tesla spokesman told El Reg: "Within just 10 days of receiving this report, Tesla has already deployed an over-the-air software update (v7.1, 2.36.31) that addresses the potential security issues. The issue demonstrated is only triggered when the web browser is used, and also required the car to be physically near to and connected to a malicious Wi-Fi hotspot. Our realistic estimate is that the risk to our customers was very low, but this did not stop us from responding quickly." They continued: "We engaged with the security research community to products so that we can fix potential vulnerabilities before they result in issues for our customers. We commend the research team behind today’s demonstration and plan to reward them under our bug bounty program, which was set up to encourage this type of research." ® Youtube Video
This rendering shows the proposed look of Old Town Distilling Co. at 253 Linden St., in Old Town Fort Collins. The new concept will replace Luscious Nectar in October. (Photo: Courtesy of Jeremy Kempter ) Fans of the Linden Street bar Luscious Nectar will have to get their Lushie fix sooner rather than later. By October, the bar will become Old Town Distilling Co., a tasting room for owner Jeremy Kempter's new distillery by the same name. "We'll still have a few Lushies," Kempter clarified. "The (tasting room) will be an extension of the distillery but with carry-through of the things we're known for." Known for late-night weekend dance parties and those colorful, alcohol-infused slushies, Luscious Nectar in its current state will "go dormant," Kempter said. Brightly colored walls will be stripped to expose brick, and indigo signage will give way to gold-leaf lettering. The shell of the current three-level space will be preserved, but Kempter hopes to hold more distillery-related events and live music sessions on the lofted dance floor. He'll still have DJs and dancing up there, but it will be reserved for late weekend nights.

Then, throughout the year, he'll release the brand's own rum, agave (like tequila), gin and absinthe, all produced at the new Fort Collins distillery on Link Lane. "I want to supply this place with a full bar," he said of the relationship between the distillery and the Linden Street bar-turned-tasting room. Eventually Kempter, his beverage director Mark Bystrom and chief distiller Guy Stewart, a home brewer and CSU yeast geneticist, will be making everything in-house from bitters to beer, vermouth, sodas and tonics. "No more Jack Daniels," for instance, Kempter said. Any drink a customer orders will be made with Old Town Distilling Co. ingredients only. "It's a great opportunity to do everything from scratch, and in a craft way," he said. "If people have a great local option, they will choose it."

This rendering shows the proposed look of Old Town Distilling Co. at 253 Linden St., in Old Town Fort Collins. The new concept will replace Luscious Nectar in October. (Photo: Courtesy of Jeremy Kempter ) Fans of the Linden Street bar Luscious Nectar will have to get their Lushie fix sooner rather than later. By October, the bar will become Old Town Distilling Co., a tasting room for owner Jeremy Kempter's new distillery by the same name. "We'll still have a few Lushies," Kempter clarified. "The (tasting room) will be an extension of the distillery but with carry-through of the things we're known for." Known for late-night weekend dance parties and those colorful, alcohol-infused slushies, Luscious Nectar in its current state will "go dormant," Kempter said. Brightly colored walls will be stripped to expose brick, and indigo signage will give way to gold-leaf letter preserved, but Kempter hopes to hold more distillery-related events and live music sessions on the lofted dance floor. He'll still have DJs and dancing up there, but it will be reserved for late weekend nights. MORE: South-end brewery Zwei Brüder opens MORE: Snowbank Brewing becomes Fort Collins' 16thines Distillery in Loveland to make three flavors of vodka, but starting in October he'll also have an un-aged corn whiskey to debut at Old Town Distilling. Then, throughout the year, he'll release the brand's own rum, agave (like tequila), gin and absinthe, all produced at the new Fort Collins distillery on Link Lane. "I want to supply this place with a full bar," he said of the relationship between the distillery and the Linden Street bar-turned-tasting room. Eventually Kempter, his beverage director Mark Bystrom and chief distiller Guy Stewart, a home brewer and CSU yeast geneticist, will be making everything in-house from bitters to beer, vermouth, sodas and tonics. "No more Jack Daniels," for instance, Kempter said. Any drink a customer orders will be made with Old Town Distilling Co. ingredients only. "It's a great opportunity to do everything from scratch, and in a craft way," he said. "If people have a great local option, they will choose it."

Disclosure: Mama Smith’s Review Blog received this item in exchange for her honest review. All opinions expressed are 100% hers. I know many people do not wear watches anymore – we have cellphones and that is what they are for, right? Wrong! Ever since I started wearing a watch again, I have been much happier. When I pick up my phone to check the time, I end up using it to do other things and I get distracted for at least 10 to 15 minutes. Not to mention that watches are a great fashion accessory. My husband needs to wear a watch at work often and so he has been looking for a nice looking timepiece. I have a Casio that I am in love with (read that review here) so I knew right away which brand to look at for him. With the retro look making a comeback, Casio’s Vintage timepieces are the ideal way to accessorize and complement any outfit. This collection of timepieces, including the gold LA680WGA-9, flawlessly combine form and function in a trendy package that never goes out of style. These watches have a stainless steel band in either a gold or silver tone and include features like water resistance, an LED-lit display face, countdown timer, an alarm, and a 1/10th second stopwatch. These watches will make the perfect holiday gift for anyone that loves the retro look – and wants to tell time easily, without the distraction of their phone. If retro is not your thing, Casio has plenty of other watches to shop – I am sure you will find the right one for anyone on your holiday list! Shop Casio here.

It’s been almost six years since the fall of Lehman Brothers ignited a global financial crisis, and our financial system remains rife with systemic risk. Those too-big-to-fail banks have only gotten bigger, a mountain of demonstrable fraud continues to go unprosecuted and the industry keeps blocking serious reform efforts as if nothing had happened. Meanwhile, Wall Street bonuses have rebounded, and the financial industry is once again extracting a fortune from the larger economy. But there are reformers who continue pressing the case for fixing a financial sector that appears to be out of control. In Saturday’s New York Times, Binyamin Appelbaum profiled one of the fiercest, Stanford finance professor Anat R. Admati, who appeared as a guest on Moyers & Company in June. Appelbaum writes: Bankers are nearly unanimous on the subject of Anat R. Admati, the Stanford finance professor and persistent industry gadfly: Her ideas are wildly impractical, bad for the American economy and not to be taken seriously. But after years of quixotic advocacy, Ms. Admati is reaching some very prominent ears. Last month, President Obama invited her and five other economists to a private lunch to discuss their ideas. She left him with a copy of “The Bankers’ New Clothes: What’s Wrong With Banking and What to Do About It,” a 2013 book she co-authored. A few weeks later, she testified for the first time before the Senate Banking Committee. And, in a recent speech, Stanley Fischer, vice chairman of the Federal Reserve, praised her “vigorous campaign.” Dennis Kelleher, chief executive of Better Markets, a nonprofit that advocates stronger financial regulation, said Ms. Admati has emerged as one of the most effective advocates of the view that regulatory changes since the 2008 crisis remain insufficient. “She has been, as one must be,” Mr. Kelleher said, “dogged from the West Coast to the East Coast to Europe and back again and over again.” Ms. Admati’s simple message is that the government is overlooking the best way to strengthen the financial system. Regulators, she says, need to worry less about what banks do with their money, and more about where the money comes from. Companies other than banks get money mostly by selling shares to investors or by reinvesting profits. Banks, by contrast, can rely almost entirely on borrowed funds, including the money they get from depositors. Ms. Admati argues that banks are taking larger risks than other kinds of companies because they use other people’s money, and the results are that they keep crashing the economy. Her solution is to make banks behave more like other companies by forcing them to reduce sharply their reliance on borrowed money. That would likely make the banking industry more stodgy and less profitable — reducing the economic risks, the executive bonuses and, for shareholders, both the risks and the profits. “My comparison is to speed limits,” Ms. Admati said in an interview near the Stanford campus. “Basically what we have here is the market has decided nobody else should be driving faster than 70 miles an hour and these are the biggest trucks with the most explosive cargo and they are driving at almost 100 miles an hour.”

But there are reformers who continue pressing the case for fixing a financial sector that appears to be out of control. In Saturday’s New York Times, Binyamin Appelbaum profiled one of the fiercest, Stanford finance professor Anat R. Admati, who appeared as aers are nearly unanimous on the subject of Anat R. Admati, the Stanford finance professor and persistent industry gadfly: Her ideas are wildly impractical, bad for the American economy and not to be taken seriously. But after years of quixotic advocacy, Ms. Admati is reaching some very prominent ears. Last month, President Obama invited her and five other economists to a private lunch to discuss their ideas. She left him with a copy of “The Bankers’ New Clothes: What’s Wrong With Banking and What to Do About It,” a 2013 book she co-authored. A few weeks later, she testified for the first time before the Senate Banking Committee. And, in a recent speech, Stanley Fischer, vice chairman of the Federal Reserve, praised her “vigorous campaign.” Dennis Kelleher, chief executive of Better Markets, a nonprofit that advocates stronger financial regulation, said Ms. Admati has emerged as one of the most effective advocates of the view that regulatory changes since the 2008 crisis remain insufficient. “She has been, as one must be,” Mr. Kelleher said, “dogged from the West Coast to the East Coast to Europe and back again and over again.” Ms. Admati’s simple message is that the government is overlooking the best way to strengthen the financial system. Regulators, she says, need to worry less about what banks do with other than banks get money mostly by selling shares to investors or by reinvesting profits. Banks, by contrast, can rely almost entirely on borrowed funds, including the money they get from depositors. Ms. Admati argues that banks are taking larger risks than other kinds of companies because they use other people’s money, and the results are that they keep crashing the economy. Her solution is to make banks behave more like other companies by forcing them to reduce sharply their reliance on borrowed money. That would likely make the banking industry more stodgy and less profitable — reducing the economic risks, the executive bonuses and, for shareholders, both the risks and the profits. “My comparison is to speed limits,” Ms. Admati said in an interview near the Stanford campus. “Basically what we have here is the market has decided nobody else should be driving faster than 70 miles an hour and these are the biggest trucks with the most explosive cargo and they are driving at almost 100 miles an hour.”
Dear Reader, As you can imagine, more people are reading The Jerusalem Post than ever before. Nevertheless, traditional business models are no longer sustainable and high-quality publications, like ours, are being forced to look for new ways to keep going. Unlike many other news organizations, we have not put up a paywall. We want to keep our journalism open and accessible and be able to keep providing you with news and analysis from the frontlines of Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish World. American comedian Sarah Silverman was a hit as one of the highlighted speakers at the Israeli Presidential Conference kick-off on Tuesday, covering topics such as Barack Obama’s presidency and the Jewish-Palestinian conflict with her trademark no-holds-barred brand of humor. Speaking after Colombian pop star Shakira, Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, US professor Dan Arielly and WPP CEO Sir Martin Sorrell at the “My recipe for a better tomorrow” session, Silverman had the audience at the Jerusalem Convention Center roaring with laughter during an onstage interview with Channel 1 host, Yigal Ravid. RELATED Silverman began the interview by speaking about her first visit to Jerusalem.“I’m so excited to be in such an old city, I don’t know everything about Israel, but I know Jerusalem is like, at least 30 years old?”Quipping back and forth with Ravid about why some people don’t like her, Silverman said she doesn’t let outside forces stop her from inner reflection. She then applied that philosophy to explain how to build a better tomorrow for Israel.“Us as Israelis – let’s pretend I’m Israeli - we have to decide who we want to be, we have to decide what is important to us, the acreage of where we live, or the values of how we live,” she said to applause.Silverman also shared her own ideas for a solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict.“I think the only real solution is the classic buddy movie formula,” she said. “You take two enemies and they’re forced to work together on some common goal and in the end they realize they’re not that different.”Silverman suggested solar energy is something Jews and Palestinians could work together to promote.“The sun shines directly on this great country, and it can be harvested, it’s not owned by anybody,” she said. “It something the Jews and the Palestinians share and could work together to make the whole world a better place, not just this Middle East stuff, but the whole world.She asked, “What if the onus on them wasn’t to make peace with each other, but to care for the future of the world?”An ardent supporter of US President Barack Obama, Silverman urged audiences to give him a chance since he is a relatively new leader.“He inherited a shitstorm, give him a second,” she said.Ravid reminded her that Obama has already been in office for two years.“Oh yeah, two years is no problem to solve all problems, right Israel?” She responded, triggering laughter and raucous applause from the audience.

Image: Yle Kari Harju, head of the Finnish Security Intelligence Service’s security unit says Finland should take steps to ban the Finnish Resistance Movement, a neo-Nazi organization. “It would be a signal to the people, now that so many incidents have taken place,” he said. The Finnish Broadcasting Company Yle’s Thursday A-talk programme was devoted to a discussion of the white supremacy organization. The National Police Board and the National Office of the Prosecutor agreed in October that the National Police Board would continue an exploration of a possible prohibition. “We are talking about our Constitutional rights, like freedom of assembly, but the Constitution under no circumstances permits the enactment of criminal offenses. Many difficult questions are however linked with a ban: for example, can we officially prohibit the symbols? And the group exists throughout the Nordics, so what will happen if we ban it in Finland and it is not banned in Sweden? The Swedish branch might even become a political party there, so what kind of situation would that present?” Harju said. Finns Party MP opposes idea Populist Finns Party MP Juho Eerola was also on the discussion panel Thursday evening. He is not in favour of banning the group. “In my opinion it shouldn’t be banned. It’s not really an organized, registered association now. Instead it is a scattered group, even though it does have a hierarchy. Legally prohibiting it would mystify it, bringing it more notoriety and pushing it underground. If we ban their symbols, what is to stop them from dressing in a suit or some sports club’s tracksuits? On the contrary, it is better that people see the familiar symbols, so they know to keep their distance and call the police, if necessary,” Eerola said. Former member: Ban won’t stop activity Esa Holappa also appeared on A-talk. He was a founding member of the Finnish Resistance Movement back in the day, and has since renounced his former activity and resigned from the group. “A prohibition wouldn’t make the problem go away. If the group is banned, it can simply pop up again the next day with a new name and logo. The same people will continue their activities on some level,” the former member said. Publicity is best weapon The last panellist, Helsinki city councillor and author of two books on Finland’s far-right Dan Koivulaakso says that bringing the activities of the group to the attention of the public is the only way to keep extremist groups like the Resistance Movement on the margins. “I think that sending clear signals is good, but we can’t deny people freedom of assembly and expression. We have to challenge groups like this, so they cannot expand undisturbed. Publicity is often the best tool: in Helsinki, they have been evicted by landlords who have been informed about just what they are up to.”

Image: Yle Kari Harju, head of the Finnish Security Intelligence Service’s security unit says Finland should take steps to ban the Finnish Resistance Movement, a neo-Nazi organization. “It would be a signal to the people, now that so many incidents have taken place,” he said. The Finnish Broadcasting Company Yle’s Thursday A-talk programme was devoted to a discussion of the white supremacy organization. The National Police Board and the National Office of the Prosecutor agreed in October that the National Police Board would continue an exploration of a possible prohibition. “We are talking about our Constitutional rights, like freedom of assembly, but the Constitution under no circumstances permits the enactment of criminal offenses. Many difficult questions are however linked with a ban: for example, can we officially prohibit the symbols? And the group exists throughout the Nordics, so what will happen if we ban it in Finland and it is not banned in Sweden? The Swedish branch might even become a political party there, so what kind of situation would that present?” Harju said. Finns Party MP opposes idea Populist Finns Party MP Juho Eerola was also on the discussion panel Thursday evening. He is not in favour of banning the group. “In my opinion it shouldn’t be banned. It’s not really an organized, registered association now. Instead it is a scattered group, even thoughally prohibiting it would mystify it, bringing it more notoriety and pushing it underground. If we ban their symbols, what is to stop them from dressing in a suit or some sports club’s tracksuits? On the contrary, it is better that people see the familiar symbols, so they know to keep their distance and call the police, if necessary,” Eerola said. Former member: Ban won’t stop activity Esa Holappa also appeared on A-talk. He was a founding member of the Finnish Resistance Movement back in the day, and has since renounced his former activity and resigned from the group. “A prohibition wouldn’t make the problem go away. If the group is banned, it can simply pop up again the next day with a new name and logo. The same people will continue their activities on some level,” the former member said. Publicity is best weapon The last panellist, Helsinki city councillor and author of two books on Finland’s far-right Dan Koivulaakso says that bringing the Resistance Movement on the margins. “I think that sending clear signals is good, but we can’t deny people freedom of assembly and expression. We have to challenge groups like this, so they cannot expand undisturbed. Publicity is often the best tool: in Helsinki, they have been evicted by landlords who have been informed about just what they are up to.”
Bentley designer critical of Lincoln Continental resigns Jun 5, 2015, 10:50am ET by Drew Johnson Following a dust up with Lincoln, Bentley has a new design head. Luc Donckerwolke, the designer who publicly shamed the Lincoln Continental concept as a blatant Bentley Flying Spur knock off, has resigned from his post as Director of Design at Bentley. The details surrounding Donckerwolke's departure remain a mystery at this point, with Bentley only saying that he "decided to leave the business” and Bentley parent Volkswagen. Although unsubstantiated, it's possible that Donckerwolke's outburst over the Lincoln Continental was at least partially responsible for his ouster. In March of this year Donckerwolke took to Facebook to chide the design of the Continental concept. "I would have called it Flying Spur concept and kept the four round lights,” he posted. Donckerwolke also got into a digital spat with Lincoln chief designer David Woodhouse, sarcastically asking "Do you want us to send the product tooling?” on Woodhouse's personal Facebook page. Whatever the reason for his departure, Donckerwolke will be succeeded by Stefan Sielaff, who is currently Head of Volkswagen Group Interior Design and Design Director at Volkswagen Design Center Potsdam. Sielaff has been with VW for more than 25 years, with most of that time spent at the automaker's Audi division. "Bentley is entering one of the most important phases in the company's history, with significant plans for new models,” Wolfgang Dürheimer, Chairman and CEO at Bentley Motors, said. "With his experience, creative vision and passion for the Bentley brand Stefan Sielaff is perfectly placed to lead the design of our future models.” Photos by Drew Johnson.

One of the nation's top credit rating agencies says there's a 50-50 chance that Kansas' credit rating could take another hit in the next three months. On Monday, Standard & Poor's placed the state on its Negative Watch list, saying the move "follows additional midyear revenue shortfalls." "Governor Sam Brownback's proposal for various options to close the budget gap... include measures we believe could widen the state's structural budget deficit," added Standard & Poor's credit analyst David Hitchcock. "Quite frankly, it’s scary," said House Minority Leader Tom Burroughs (D-Kansas City). "Kansas has already experienced two successive credit downgrades as a result of Gov. Brownback’s mismanagement of the Kansas economy and budget. Given his refusal to change course, it wouldn’t surprise me if we received a third." Whether or not the state's AA credit rating takes another hit will depend mainly upon if next year's budget brings it closer to a structural budget balance, including restoring the general fund reserves it describes as "essentially depleted."

One of the nation's top credit rating agencies says there's a 50-50 chance that Kansas' credit rating could take another hit in the next three months. On Monday, Standard & Poor's placed the state on its Negative Watch list, saying the move "follows additional midyear revenue shortfalls." "Governor Sam Brownback's proposal for various options to close the budget gap... include measures we believe could widen the state's structural budget deficit," added Standard & Poor's credit analyst David Hitchcock. "Quite frankly, it "Kansas has already experienced two successive credit downgrades as a result of Gov. Brownback’s mismanagement of the Kansas economy and budget. Given his refusal to change course, it wouldn’t surprise me if we received a third." Whether or not the state's AA credit's budget brings it closer to a structural budget balance, including restoring the general fund reserves it describes as "essentially depleted."
4 SHARES Reddit Facebook Twitter Google OneBit promises to deliver easy payment with bitcoin at any merchant using the MasterCard PayPass� terminal. The company claims to already have a working bitcoin wallet app that converts your bitcoin to local currency in real time. You pay for your purchase by keying in the amount to pay into the app and tap your phone on the PayPass� terminal. The app then converts bitcoin in your wallet to fiat using BitPay and MasterCard pays the merchant. There will be no fee to the consumer for the service as OneBit will be reimbursed by MasterCard for each transaction and the merchant pays his normal transaction fee to Mastercard. The company hopes to have their Android only app available by end of this July. The entrepreneur behind OneBit is Toby Hoenisch, who is using social media to promote and raise venture capital but admits on reddit they currently have no formal partnership with Mastercard yet. It remains to be seen if Mastercard will actually allow a card issuer to work with a bitcoin payment processor; particularly in the US. We do hope OneBit is able to bring their app to market as it would show Mastercard (who has not been exactly friendly to bitcoin) is changing their attitude toward digital currency. However, if it was simple to bring a true bitcoin point of sale solution or debit card to the US market we expect Coinbase would already have done so.

Manchester United manager David Moyes says Marouane Fellaini could return from wrist surgery ahead of schedule next month after bringing forward plans to resolve his long-standing injury. With Michael Carrick in contention for a first-team comeback at Hull City on Boxing Day, Fellaini had an operation on Saturday morning after telling Moyes that he would not be able to overcome a back problem to play during the festive period. The loss of Fellaini, who has failed to impress since his arrival from Everton in a £27.5 million deal in August, has been countered by fellow midfielder Carrick’s imminent return from a six-week lay-off due to an Achilles problem and positive injury updates on Danny Welbeck and Nemanja Vidic. Moyes is also hopeful that Robin van Persie will be back in time for the FA Cup third-round tie against Swansea City on Jan 5, but with Fellaini struggling to cope with his back and wrist problems, the United manager admits he had no option but to sanction an operation for the Belgian at the weekend. “He had his operation on Saturday morning because we couldn’t get him to recover from his back problem,” Moyes said. “We thought his back would be OK after 10 days but it wasn’t getting any better, so we made a quick decision to get his wrist operated on. He has had that done now and we think he will be out probably six weeks, but there is chance it could be shorter. “It is unlucky. He doesn’t feel 100 per cent fit because of his wrist and he was finding it difficult. I asked him if he could get over the Christmas period but it wasn’t right.” Fellaini had been sidelined since the 1-0 defeat against Everton on Dec 4 after suffering the back injury against his former club. He has been troubled by the wrist problem since damaging the joint during United’s Champions League clash with Shakhtar Donetsk in October. The 26-year-old has since played on with the injury, but that has affected his form and led to him struggling to make an impression, with Moyes handing him just 11 appearances in all competitions and only four Premier League starts. Moyes has played down concerns over the fitness of Welbeck after admitting that the England forward is fit to face Hull at the KC Stadium. Welbeck limped off during the second half with a knee problem, but Moyes said the move was precautionary. “It was only a kick on his knee,” Moyes said. “He had a problem with his knee a few weeks ago, but it seems to be just a kick on his knee, so he’s trained and we hope he’s OK. “He had a bit of a problem with the knee and my worry was that it was the same knee causing the problem, but it was a kick on the kneecap. It’s more of a contact injury than anything to do with cartilage or anything else. “Danny has got three goals in the last three games, so from his point of view it’s a really good record and he has to try to keep that level up.” Moyes added: “Vidic is fine. He had a calf injury and when he came back he had a bit of illness, a bad throat the other week, so we just have to look after him. But he’s fine.”

Manchester United manager David Moyes says Marouane Fellaini could return from wrist surgery ahead of schedule next month after bringing forward plans to resolve his long-standing injury. With Michael Carrick in contention for a first-team comeback at Hull City on Boxing Day, Fellaini had an operation on Saturday morning after telling Moyes that he would not be able to overcome a back problem to play during the festive period. The loss of Fellaini, who has failed to impress since his arrival from Everton in a £27.5 million deal in August, has been countered by fellow midfielder Carrick’s imminent return from a six-week lay-off due to an Achilles problem and positive injury updates on Danny Welbeck and Nemanja Vidic. Moyes is also hopeful that Robin van Persie will be back in time for the FA Cup third-round tie against Swansea City on Jan 5, but with Fellaini struggling to cope with his back and wrist problems, the United manager admits he had no option but to sanction an operation for the Belgian at the weekend. “He had his operation on Saturday morning because we couldn’t get him to recover from his back problem,” Moyes said. “We thought his back would be OK after 10 days but it wasn’t getting any better, so we made a quick decision to get his wrist operated on. He has had that done now and we think he will be out probably six weeks, but there is chance it could be shorter. “It is unlucky. He doesn’t feel 100 per cent fit because of his wrist and he was finding it difficult. I asked him if he could get over the Christmas period but it wasn’t right.” Fellaini had been sidelined since the 1-0 defeat against Everton on Dec 4 after suffering the back injury against his former club. He has been troubled by the wrist problem since damaging the joint during United’s Champions League clash with Shakhtar Donetsk in October. The 26-year-old has since played on with the injury, but that has affected his form and led to him struggling to make an impression, with Moyes handing him just 11 appearances in all competitions and only four Premier League starts. Moyes has played down concerns over the admitting that the England forward is fit to face Hull at the KC Stadium. Welbeck limped off during the second half with a knee problem, kick on his knee,” Moyes said. “He had a problem with his knee a few weeks ago, but it seems to be just a kick on his knee, so he’s trained and we hope he’s OK. “He had a bit of a problem with the knee and my worry was that it was the same knee causing the problem, but it was a kick on the kneecap. It’s more of a contact injury than anything to do with cartilage or anything else. “Danny has got three goals in the last three games, so from his point of view it’s a really good record and he has to try to keep that level up.” Moyes added: “Vidic is fine. He had a calf injury and when he came back he had a bit of illness, a bad throat the other week, so we just have to look after him. But he’s fine.”

64 SHARES Facebook Twitter Google Reddit Tumblr Digg Linkedin Stumbleupon Mail Print Earlier this month, San Diego news sources reported that Officer Art Perea, a veteran San Diego Police Officer, was subject to a rape investigation. He was on unpaid leave after a Point Loma Nazarene University student alleged she was raped by Perea and another woman the month prior. Perea resigned from the force in March. As reported by San Diego 6 News, “San Diego and El Cajon Police Departments are investigating one of their own.” Further, sources within the department indicated San Diego Police Chief Willaim Lansdowne was defending Perea. As usual, the inquiry is an internal one. The alleged rapist is “investigated” by his own friends, and the Police Chief sides with him. Surely, the result will be impartial and trustworthy, and serve as a shining example of the fairness and justice regularly delivered by American law enforcement and courts. In addition, 4 other women have accused another San Diego Police Officer of sex-related crimes. One woman alleged Officer Anthony Arevalos touched her in a sexually inappropriate manner during a traffic stop in the Gaslamp Quarter. He touched her and later made inappropriate comments to her as he drove her to jail. A San Diego State University student also reported having an abusive encounter with Arevalos. The student was pulled over and breathalized during a drunk driving traffic stop. Her blood alcohol level registered at 0.05, but because she was 20 years old, she faced a drunk driving citation. The student alleged Arevalos offered her a “deal” to make the citation go away. He asked her what she could do for him, what she was wearing under her coat, among other strange questions. After other officers arrived, Arevalos said something like, “I guess the deal is over.” Yet another woman claimed Arevalos sexually battered her recently during a DUI stop, also in the Gaslamp Quarter. The woman did not receive any citation from Arevalos. Finally, Arevalos was accused by another woman of sexual penetration under color of authority in February 20, 2010. He was being investigated but the San Diego County District Attorney declined to file charges for lack of evidence. SDPD would not release a report or details regarding the incident, citing the ongoing investigation (Read more here). Again, there is nothing surprising about the fact that the man was accused of sexual penetration under color of authority over a year ago, and continued to be gainfully employed as a “protector” of the public, because his friends in the DA declined to file charges, while his friends in the PD claimed to still be “investigating” the matter in March 2011. Also nothing too unexpected that his friends would refuse to release details to the public. The silver lining in all of this, I suppose, is that after being accused by at least 4 women, Arevalos was finally arrested recently on sexual battery, false imprisonment, and assault under color of authority charges. The whole premise of law enforcement is that they have a monopoly on such services. The public cannot withdraw funding if police are incompetent, or downright malicious. They are continually, and eternally funded through coerced taxes, and thus are disincentivized and indeed, discouraged from being held accountable for their actions. This is not to say police are all inherently terrible people; however, uniform or not, the fact of the matter is, people tend to side with their friends and oftentimes their coworkers. This is something endemic to human nature, and arguably immutable, that minor reform, laws and changes in leadership cannot fix. As long as the public tolerates a forced monopoly on law enforcement, and looks to the police to fix the problems they themselves have created and perpetuated, there will be no progress, and there will be no justice. 64 SHARES Facebook Twitter Google Reddit Tumblr Digg Linkedin Stumbleupon Mail Print EPN

64 SHARES Facebook Twitter Google Reddit Tumblr Digg Linkedin Stumbleupon Mail Print Earlier this month, San Diego news sources reported that Officer Art Perea, a veteran San Diego Police Officer, was subject to a rape investigation. He was on unpaid leave after a Point Loma Nazarene University student alleged she was raped by Perea and another woman the month prior. Perea resigned from the force in March. As reported by San Diego 6 News, “San Diego and El Cajon Police Departments are investigating one of their own.” Further, sources within the department indicated San Diego Police Chief Willaim Lansdowne was defending Perea. As usual, the inquiry is an internal one. The alleged rapist is “investigated” by his own friends, and the Police Chief sides with him. Surely, the result will be impartial and trustworthy, and serve as a shining example of the fairness and justice regularly delivered by American law enforcement and courts. In addition, 4 other women have accused another San Diego Police Officer of sex-related crimes. One woman alleged Officer Anthony Arevalos touched her in a sexually inappropriate manner during a traffic stop in the Gaslamp Quarter. He touched her and later made inappropriate comments to her as he drove her to jail. A San Diego State University student also reported having an abusive encounter with Arevalos. The student was pulled over and breathalized during a drunk driving traffic stop. Her blood alcohol level registered at 0.05, but because she was 20 years old, she faced a drunk driving citation. The student alleged Arevalos offered her a “deal” to make the citation go away. He asked her what she could do wearing under her coat, among other strange questions. After other officers arrived, Arevalos said something like, “I guess the deal is over.” Yet another woman claimed Arevalos sexually battered her recently during a DUI stop, also in the Gaslamp Quarter. The woman did not receive any citation from Arevalos. Finally, Arevalos was accused by another woman of sexual penetration under color of authority in February 20, 2010. He was being investigated but the San Diego County District Attorney declined to file charges for lack of evidence. SDPD would not release a report or details regarding the incident, citing the ongoing investigation (Read more here). Again, there is nothing surprising about the fact that the man was accused of sexual penetration under color of authority over a year ago, and continued to be gainfully employed as a “protector” of the public, because his friends in the DA declined to file charges, while his friends in the PD claimed to still be “investigating” the matter in March 2011. Also nothing too unexpected that his friends would refuse to release details to the public. The silver lining in all of this, I suppose, is that after being accused by at least 4 women, Arevalos was finally arrested recently on sexual battery, false imprisonment authority charges. The whole premise of law enforcement is that they have a monopoly on such services. The public cannot withdraw funding if police are incompetent, or downright malicious. They are continually, and eternally funded through coerced taxes, and thus are disincentivized and indeed, discouraged from being held accountable for their actions. This is not to say police are all inherently terrible people; however, uniform or not, the fact of the matter is, people tend to side with their friends and oftentimes their coworkers. This is something endemic to human nature, and arguably immutable, that minor reform, laws and changes in leadership cannot fix. As long as the public tolerates a forced monopoly on law enforcement, and looks to the police to fix the problems they themselves have created and perpetuated, there will be no progress, and there will be no justice. 64 SHARES Facebook Twitter Google Reddit Tumblr Digg Linkedin Stumbleupon Mail Print EPN
Congratulations Washington State vape community, the Child Safety First Bill was born into law today. During the 2015 - 2016, Washington State Legislature sessions, 3701 bills were introduced; less than 400 of them passed. We should all be proud parents as it takes a village to raise a bill to become a law. Now, we must continue to parent this industry. This is what we can expect: Statewide Uniformity on rules that regulate Washington State’s vapor industry. Mandates child-resistant caps for e-liquid. Guarantees labeling that indicates general contents and nicotine levels. Helps safeguard youth prevention by outlawing vending machines in Washington State. Adds protection from youth access from vapor products through online sales. Solidifies penalties and fines for selling or giving a minor a vapor product. Bans vaping from all public places where minors may be present. Creates a licensure and enforcement policy to help ensure compliance in youth prevention. Implements a separate vape chapter; this is a significant step in decoupling vape and tobacco, not only in law but also in how vapor products are seen. 2016 is not only Washington’s Year of Vape it is also an election year. Although vapor products are no longer considered to be tobacco products under the eyes of Washington State law, Pink Lung Brigade, its members, and supporters will continue the movement by educating our community. We have a unique opportunity to educate our incumbent legislators and new candidates alike. In the days to come we will highlight the Washington State law makers & legislators who were instrumental in seeing this common sense law come to pass. Please stay supportive, engaged, and tuned in to notifications for meetings, rallies, fundraisers, and calls-to-action throughout the rest of the year leading up to a new legislative session.

Congratulations Washington State vape community, the Child Safety First Bill was born into law today. During the 2015 - 2016, Washington State Legislature sessions, 3701 bills were introduced; less than 400 of them passed. We should all be proud parents as it takes a village to raise a bill to become a law. Now, we must continue to parent this industry. This is what we can expect: Statewide Uniformity on rules that regulate Washington State’s vapor industry. Mandates child-resistant caps for e-liquid. Guarantees labeling that indicates general contents and nicotine levels. Helps safeguard youth prevention by outlawing vending machines in Washington State. Adds protection from youth access from vapor products through online sales. Solidifies penalties and fines for selling or giving a minor a vapor product. may be present. Creates a licensure and enforcement policy to help ensure compliance in youth prevention. Implements a separate vape chapter; this is a significant step in decoupling vape and tobacco, not only in law but also in how vapor products are seen. 2016 is not only Washington’s Year of Vape it is also an election year. Although vapor products are no longer considered Washington State law, Pink Lung Brigade, its members, and supporters will continue the movement by educating our community. We have a unique opportunity to educate our incumbent legislators and new candidates alike. In the days to come we will highlight the Washington State law makers & legislators who were instrumental in seeing this common sense law come to pass. Please stay supportive, engaged, and tuned in to notifications for meetings, rallies, fundraisers, and calls-to-action throughout the rest of the year leading up to a new legislative session.

News of a hot car getting cooled off over the weekend by Saanich police did not reach a 52-year-old driver trying to make time on the Trans-Canada Highway. Saanich police Sgt. Steve Eassie said the driver was clocked going 101 kilometres an hour in a 50-kilometre zone on the highway, near Harriet Road, on Monday. He was in a vehicle described as an older-model muscle car. article continues below His driving earned him a $368 fine and a week-long vehicle impoundment, Eassie said. That incident followed a separate one on Saturday, when routine speed enforcement on Willis Point Road caught a 39-year-old in a 2012 Mustang travelling at 157 km/h in a 60 km/h zone. That vehicle was also impounded, and the driver given a $483 fine. Eassie said the drivers of two pickup trucks met a similar result the day before on Willis Point Road, which has a long, straight stretch known to attract speeders. Both were found to be going 105 km/h in a 60 km/h zone. Speeds that exceed the posted limit by more than 40 km/h are considered “excessive” and lead to both a fine and impoundment. — Times Colonist

Small and medium enterprises will now have additional access to credit with the approval of the Credit Surety Fund (CSF) Cooperative Act into law, according to Sen. Bam Aquino. Aquino, author and sponsor of the Senate version of the measure, said that Republic Act 10744 would institutionalize the CSF program of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), which targets the missing middle or loan requirements ranging from P200,000 to P5 million. “When it comes to micro, we have the cooperatives and the microfinance institutions. When it comes to the medium and large, our banks are actually quite willing to provide loans,” said Aquino, chairman of the Committee on Trade, Commerce and Entrepreneurship. “This small enterprise space that we perceive to still be a missing middle will, hopefully, be catered to through the Credit Surety Fund Cooperative Act,” he added. According to Aquino, the smaller enterprise’s loan needs that range from 500 thousand pesos to 5 million pesos are too large for microfinance institutions but still perceived to be too risky for banks, which, most of the time, ask for collateral. Through this, the BSP, local government units, Department of Finance, Cooperative Development Authority, cooperatives, microfinance NGOs and government financing institutions (GFIs) will join hands to create an initial fund. This fund may be used by entrepreneurs and businessmen belonging to cooperatives and microfinance NGOs, which helped establish it, as collateral or guarantee for bank loans. “So hopefully we’ll be able to provide loans at this space with comparable rates completing the whole financial inclusion supply chain,” said Sen. Bam. Furthermore, the new law will help build the capability of MSMEs, cooperatives and non-government organizations in the areas of credit evaluation, loan and risk management, and good governance. Also, the bill seeks to enhance the MSMEs’ credit worthiness and broaden access to credit facilities, and sustain the continuous flow of credit in the countryside. “This will generate more employment and alleviate poverty through increased investments and economic activities,” added Aquino, stressing that the challenge is to grow the micro businesses into small enterprises and the small enterprises to medium enterprises. “If it this is done, growth would not only be for the few rich, rather, it would be for everyone, even to the poorest Filipino,” Aquino said. The Credit Surety Fund Cooperative Act is the tenth law of Aquino in the 16th Congress. He is a former social entrepreneur, who worked on livelihood and business development projects in poor communities for a long time before running for a senate seat in 2012.

Small and medium enterprises will now have additional access to credit with the approval of the Credit Surety Fund (CSF) Cooperative sponsor of the Senate version of the measure, said that Republic Act 10744 would institutionalize the CSF program of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), which targets the missing middle or loan requirements ranging from P200,000 to P5 million. “When it comes to micro, we have the cooperatives and the microfinance institutions. When it comes to the medium and large, our banks are actually quite willing to provide loans,” said Aquino, chairman of the Committeehip. “This small enterprise space that we perceive to still be a missing middle will, hopefully, be catered to through the Credit Surety Fund Cooperative Act,” he added. According to Aquino, the smaller enterprise’s loan needs that range from 500 thousand pesos to 5 million pesos are too large for microfinance institutions but still perceived to be too risky for banks, which, most of the time, ask for collateral. Through this, the BSP, local government units, Department of Finance, Cooperative Development Authority, cooperatives, microfinance NGOs and government financing institutions (GFIs) will join hands to create an initial fund. This fund may be used by entrepreneurs and businessmen belonging to cooperatives and microfinance NGOs, which helped establish it, as collateral or guarantee for bank loans. “So hopefully we’ll be able to provide loans at this space with comparable rates completing the whole financial inclusion supply chain,” said Sen. Bam. Furthermore, the new law will help build the capability of MSMEs, cooperatives and non-government organizations in the areas of credit evaluation, loan and risk management, and good governance. Also, the bill seeks to enhance the MSMEs’ credit worthiness and broaden access to credit facilities, and sustain the continuous flow of credit in the countryside. “This will generate more employment and alleviate poverty through increased investments and economic activities,” added Aquino, stressing that the challenge is to grow the micro businesses into small enterprises and the small enterprises to medium enterprises. “If it this is done, growth would not only be for the few rich, rather, it would be for everyone, even to the poorest Filipino,” Aquino said. The Credit Surety Fund Cooperative Act is the tenth law of Aquino in the 16th Congress. He is a former social entrepreneur, who worked on livelihood and business development projects in poor communities for a long time before running for a senate seat in 2012.
ZeroLemon's SolarJuice batteries offer the promise of recharging away from an outlet. Leave the pack out in the sun and watch light turn into energy that powers your phone. In reality, you have to leave it out for a day or so to get any juice that way, and you will probably still end up sticking it in the wall. No matter. It remains a great pack. And now it's one you can get for a mere fraction of its usual price. Instead of paying $34.99, the coupon code JCZMCHXN will let you checkout for $9.99 instead. This pack has two USB ports supplying dual 2.1A and 1A output. You won't find USB Type C or QuickCharge here, but you are getting something that has the promise of recharging using sunlight alone. The battery is resistant to rain and drops, making it pretty rugged. All around, it's $9.99 well spent. While you're at it, you can snag a 10-port USB power adapter for only $19.99. Use the coupon code 3G6ZLBY4 to get that deal.

SXSW, Austin's annual sticky-floored music industry sport coat and jeans cocaine marathon, wherein bands willingly exhaust themselves playing garbage sets for little or no money, deriving sustenance from tacos and the hope of "exposure," features a McDonald's showcase this year. And, no doy, they aren't paying. This isn't the first year SXSW has played host to a corporation you regularly see advertising during the Super Bowl. Last year, for example, there was a Doritos thing that featured Lady Gaga. However, Doritos paid Lady Gaga $2.5 million dollars for that thing. What of the future Lady Gagas (music industry compliment) McDonald's is courting to perform at their 2015 showcase? The $90 billion corporation, powered by poverty-stricken workers, does not—hmm, let's see, ahhh, maybe if we...ah nope, sorry—have a budget, unfortunately. Brian Harding of the band Ex Cops wrote about the company's pitch in a post on Facebook: Their selling point was that this was "a great opportunity for additional exposure," and that "McDonald's will have their global digital team on site to meet with the bands, help with cross promotion, etc" I don't, and doubt that they know what this means either. Getting past that rhetoric, at the very least a big corporation like McDonald's can at least pay their talent a little. Right? "There isn't a budget for an artist fee (unfortunately)" Unfortunate! Perhaps the budget was blown exchanging McNuggets for hugs or offering "free food to all audience members" of the showcase, a fact included in the pitch. Harding goes on to note that McDonald's promises the bands will "be featured on screens throughout the event, as well as POSSIBLY mentioned on McDonald's social media accounts like Facebook (57MM likes!)" Neat, and also exciting. Of course, if you are a band, you are free to turn down such a showcase. Similarly, and less complicatedly, if you are McDonald's, you are free to fucking pay people. UPDATE 2:58 P.M.: We received an email in response to our post from McDonald's Global Media Relations director Becca Hary: Kelly – We follow the same standard protocol as other Brands and sponsors by inviting talented and emerging musicians to join us at the SXSW Festival.

SXSW, Austin's annual sticky-floored music industry sport coat and jeans cocaine marathon, wherein bands willingly exhaust themselves playing garbage sets for little or no money, deriving sustenance from tacos and the hope of "exposure," features a McDonald's showcase this year. And, no doy, they aren't paying. This isn't the first year SXSW has played Last year, for example, there was a Doritos thing that featured Lady Gaga. However, Doritos paid Lady Gaga $2.5 million dollars for that thing. What of the future Lady Gagas (music industry compliment) McDonald's is courting to perform at their 2015 showcase? The $90 billion corporation, powered by poverty-stricken workers, does not—hmm, let's see, ahhh, maybe if we...ah nope, sorry—have a budget, unfortunately. Brian Harding of the band Ex Cops wrote about the company's pitch in a post on Facebook: Their selling point was that this was "a great opportunity for additional exposure," and that "McDonald's will have their global digital team on site to meet with the bands, help with cross promotion, etc" I don't, and doubt that they know what this means either. Getting past that rhetoric, at the very least a big corporation like McDonald's can at least pay their talent a little. Right? "There isn't a budget for an artist fee (unfortunately)" Unfortunate! Perhaps the budget was blown exchanging McNuggets for hugs or offering "free food to all audience members" of the showcase, a fact included in the pitch. Harding goes on to note that McDonald's promises the bands will "be featured on screens throughout the event, as well as POSSIBLY mentionedat, and also exciting. Of course, if you are a band, you are free to turn down such a showcase. Similarly, and less complicatedly, if you are McDonald's, you are free to fucking pay people. UPDATE 2:58 P.M.: We received an email in response to our post from McDonald's Global Media Relations director Becca Hary: Kelly – We follow the same standard protocol as other Brands and sponsors by inviting talented and emerging musicians to join us at the SXSW Festival. We look forward to serving McDonald's food, drinks and fun in Austin. #slownewsday Thanks, Becca Well, in that case. [image via Shutterstock, h/t Stereogum]
Metal-Rules.com conducted an interview with German metal queen Doro Pesch aboard 70000 Tons Of Metal, the world's biggest heavy metal cruise, which sailed on January 28 from Miami, Florida and returned to the real world on February 1. You can now watch the chat below. Pesch's latest album, "Raise Your Fist", sold 585 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD landed at position No. 65 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200. In a recent interview with Lords Of Metal, Doro stated about her expectations for "Raise Your Fist", "I will be very happy when the fans say they love the record; that's the most important for me. I really don't keep up with numbers, which are, in my opinion, great to talk about afterwards. It's nice if we will be able to make the charts again, but to me, those kind of things don't really matter. Much more important is that the fans dig the songs in a live situation and, since we already played 'Raise Your Fist' several times live, the first signs are very positive."

A funny thing happened in Chinatown nearly half a century ago. One day a Mexican-American delivered a new rug to a seedy topless bar called the Shanghai Junk partly run by a half-Chinese, half-Scottish man from Calgary. The two men, Richard “Cheech” Marin and Tommy Chong, immediately hit it off, and Chong soon offered his new friend — who was in Canada to avoid being drafted into the Vietnam War — a spot with his improv comedy troupe City Works. In the late ’60s, City Works performed inside the bar, located at the northeast corner of Main and Pender streets that is now home to a TD bank. article continues below The rest is history and the two eventually went on to become world famous as the trail-blazing, alliterative act Cheech and Chong. The duo is credited with originally firing up the stoner comedy genre that in recent years has produced such films as the Harold and Kumar franchise and Vancouver native Seth Rogen’s Pineapple Express and Superbad. “He was fast and funny and tired of laying carpets, so I offered him $5 a week more than he was getting laying rugs,” Chong wrote in an article published in Cannabis Culture magazine in 2008. “It was a very creative dynamic with myself, David Graham, Gaye Delorme and now Cheech all trying out different material on the unwitting stripper bar patrons.” Chong had already seen a degree of success through his former job as the guitarist for Bobby Taylor and the Vancouvers, whose biggest hit “Does Your Mama Know About Me?” reached number 29 on the U.S. pop charts. The band toured with the likes of Stevie Wonder, the Temptations and James Brown, and Chong once had the opportunity to jam onstage in England with guitar legend Jimi Hendrix — himself an occasional Chinatown resident who regularly travelled from Seattle as a teenager to visit his grandmother. Chong was booted out of the band after being late for an important meeting and he soon discovered comedy provided a better fit for his talents than music. The two eventually moved to Hollywood and made it big with a string of hit films and comedy records during the ’70s and early ’80s, but their formative years together in Vancouver had a lasting impact on their act. Cheech’s exaggerated Mexican accent, for example, was first played up for laughs due to there being very few Hispanics living in Vancouver in the late ’60s. Their long-running foil Sgt. Stedenko (played by Stacy Keach in the cult classic film Up In Smoke) is based on a notorious RCMP drug squad policeman named Abe Snidanko, and Chong’s drawled “Hey maaan” catch phrase was inspired by a hippy named Strawberry who lived in the Shanghai Junk’s lighting booth. The pair recently reunited again after going their separate ways in 1985, but Chong has always maintained close ties to Vancouver and owns a home here. “Because I was so poor when I lived in Canada, every time I come up there I feel like I cheated everything,” Chong, 75, told the Tri-Cities Now a few months ago before a show at the Red Robinson Theatre in Coquitlam. “That’s why I’m really friendly with fans. I still can’t believe a Calgary kid has made it this far.”

A funny thing happened in Chinatown nearly half a century ago. One day a Mexican-American delivered a new rug to a seedy topless bar called the Shanghai Junk partly run by a half-Chinese, half-Scottish man from Calgary. The two men, Richard “Cheech” Marin and Tommy Chong, immediately hit it off, and Chong soon offered his new friend — who was in Canada to avoid being drafted into the Vietnam War — a spot with his improv comedy troupe City Works. In the late ’60s, City Works performed inside the bar, located at the northeast corner of Main and Pender streets that is now home to a TD bank. article continues below The rest is history and the two eventually went on to become world famous as the trail-blazing, alliterative act Cheech and Chong. The duo is credited with originally firing up the stoner comedy genre that in recent years has produced such films as the Harold and Kumar franchise and Vancouver native Seth Rogen’s Pineapple Express and Superbad. “He was fast and funny and tired of laying carpets, so I offered him $5 a week more than he was getting laying rugs,” Chong wrote in an article published in Cannabis Culture magazine in 2008. “It was a very creative dynamic with myself, David Graham, Gaye Delorme and now Cheech all trying out different material on the unwitting stripper bar patrons.” Chong had already seen a degree of success through his former job as the guitarist for Bobby Taylor and the Vancouvers, whose biggest hit “Does Your Mama Know About Me?” reached number 29 on the U.S. pop charts. The band toured with the likes of Stevie Wonder, the Temptations and James Brown, and Chong once had the opportunity to jam onstage in England with guitar legend Jimi Hendrix — himself an occasional Chinatown resident who regularly travelled from Seattle as a teenager to visit his grandmother. Chong was booted out of the band after being late for an important meeting and he soon discovered comedy provided a better fit for his talents than music. The two eventually moved to Hollywood and made it big with a string of hit films and comedy records during the ’70s and early ’80s, but their formative years together in Vancouver had for example, was first played up for laughs due to there being very few Hispanics living in Vancouver in the late ’60s. Their long-running foil Sgt. Stedenko (played by Stacy Keach in the cult classic film Up In Smoke) is based on a notorious RCMP drug squad policeman named Abe Snidanko, and Chong’s drawled “Hey maaan” catch phrase was inspired by a hippy named Strawberry who lived in the Shanghai Junk’s lighting booth. The pair recently reunited again after going their separate ways in 1985, but Chong has always maintained close ties to Vancouver and owns a home here. “Because I was so poor when I lived in Canada, every time I come up there I feel like I cheated everything,” Chong, 75, told the Tri-Cities Now a few months ago before a show at the Red Robinson Theatre in�s why I’m really friendly with fans. I still can’t believe a Calgary kid has made it this far.”
TAMPA — The easiest thing for Victor Hedman last month would have been to duck the question about Russia's antigay laws and how they will be enforced at the 2014 Sochi Olympics. But the Lightning defenseman, a candidate to play for Sweden, spoke forcefully, calling Russia's laws against "propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations" — laws Russian officials claim won't apply to Olympic athletes and spectators — "completely wrong." "We're all humans," Hedman told reporters during Sweden's Olympic tryout camp. "No one should have a say in what way you are sexually oriented." Hedman reiterated the point this week at the Tampa Bay Times Forum and said the response to his original comments was "positive." "It's been a big topic with everyone," he said. "We just stood up for everyone's rights." Hedman, 22, was not the only Swedish athlete to speak up. Red Wings left wing Henrik Zetterberg was another, and Emma Green Tregaro, a high jumper at the world track championships in Moscow, painted her fingernails rainbow colors. She switched to red nails after Swedish officials told her to "respect the rules." Hedman said there has been no talk about Sweden boycotting the Olympics and that his chance to make the team, which could hinge on how he plays in the first half of the season, will be "a huge motivation." Even so, Hedman said, his ambitions come second to what is best for the Lightning. "There's a long time left," he said of the Feb. 7-23 Olympics. "I want to focus on Tampa, climb back to the playoffs. I want to be a force every night." That has been expected of Hedman since he was drafted No. 2 overall in 2009. In his fifth season, it might be time for him to take that step. Not that Hedman has been bad. He was plus-1 during last season's lockout-shortened 44-game schedule. His average ice time of 22:39 was second on the team, and his 84 blocked shots were third. "He's had some great stretches," general manager Steve Yzerman said. And teammate Sami Salo said Hedman "has the potential to be one of the best D-men in the league. A huge boy, skates like the wind. He has all the tools." It's just that with his size — 6 feet 6, 230 pounds — reach and skills, even Hedman is impatient for them to consistently coalesce. His team-worst 42 giveaways last season were a sore point. "It's been a big, long learning curve for me, maybe a little longer than I hoped for," Hedman said. "I know what to expect from myself and the way I can play. "It's my fifth year. It's time for me to go out there and take charge." Tampa Bay's defense could use such an anchor. The key for Hedman, Yzerman said, is keeping his priorities straight. "I see him as a guy who has the potential to be an elite defensive defenseman," Yzerman said. "I don't expect him to get 80 points or anything like that. Let's make sure you're rock-solid defensively. He skates so well, we see him as a puck-moving guy who plays on the power play. He's not going to lead your offense. He's going to support it." As for supporting homosexual athletes at the Olympics, Hedman said he is just happy so many others also spoke up. "I think it's wrong," he said of Russia's antigay laws. "It's a tough question for everyone to answer, but I made my statement, and that's where I stand." CAMP ENDS: The Lightning's two-day prospects camp wrapped up Thursday ahead of this weekend's prospects tournament at the Saveology.com Iceplex in Coral Springs. Tampa Bay faces the Bruins at 2 p.m. today, the Predators at noon Saturday and the host Panthers at 4 p.m. Sunday. The games are free, but you must apply for tickets at floridapanthers.com/trainingcamp. Damian Cristodero can be reached at [email protected]

TAMPA — The easiest thing for Victor Hedman last month would have been to duck the question about Russia's antigay laws and how they will be enforced at the 2014 Sochi Olympics. But the Lightning defenseman, a candidate to play for Sweden, spoke forcefully, calling Russia's laws against "propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations" — laws Russian officials claim won't apply to Olympic athletes and spectators — "completely wrong." "We're all humans," Hedman told reporters during Sweden's Olympic tryout camp. "No one should have a say in what way you are sexually oriented." Hedman reiterated the point this week at the Tampa Bay Times Forum and said the response to his original comments was "positive." "It's been a big topic with everyone," he said. "We just stood up for everyone's rights." Hedman, 22, was not the only Swedish athlete to speak up. Red Wings left wing Henrik Zetterberg was another, and, painted her fingernails rainbow colors. She switched to red nails after Swedish officials told her to "respect the rules." Hedman said there has been no talk about Sweden boycotting the Olympics and that his chance to make the team, which could hinge on how he plays in the first half of the season, will be "a huge motivation." Even so, Hedman said, his ambitions come second to what is best for the Lightning. "There's a long time left," he said of the Feb. want to focus on Tampa, climb back to the playoffs. I want to be a force every night." That has been expected of Hedman since he was drafted No. 2 overall in 2009. In his fifth season, it might be time for him to take that step. Not that Hedman has been bad. He was plus-1 during last season's lockout-shortened 44-game schedule. His average ice time of 22:39 was second on the team, and his 84 blocked shots were third. "He's had some great stretches," general manager Steve Yzerman said. And teammate Sami Salo said Hedman "has the potential to be one of the best D-men in the league. A huge boy, skates like the wind. He has all the tools." It's just that with his size — 6 feet 6, 230 pounds — reach and skills, even Hedman is impatient for them to consistently coalesce. His team-worst 42 giveaways last season were a sore point. "It's been a big, long learning curve for me, maybe a little longer than I hoped for," Hedman said. "I know what to expect from myself and the way I can play. "It's my fifth year. It's time for me to go out there and take charge." Tampa Bay's defense could use such an anchor. The key for Hedman, Yzerman said, is keeping his priorities straight. "I see him as a guy who has the potential to be an elite defensive defenseman," Yzerman said. "I don't expect him to get 80 points or anything like that. Let's make sure you're rock-solid defensively. He skates so well, we see him as a puck-moving guy who plays on the power play. He's not going to lead your offense. He's going to support it." As for supporting homosexual athletes at the Olympics, Hedman said he is just happy so many others also spoke up. "I think it's wrong," he said of Russia's antigay laws. "It's a tough question for everyone to answer, but I made my statement, and that's where I stand." CAMP ENDS: The Lightning's two-day prospects camp wrapped up Thursday ahead of this weekend's prospects tournament at the Saveology.com Iceplex in Coral Springs. Tampa Bay faces the Bruins at 2 p.m. today, the Predators at noon Saturday and the host Panthers at 4 p.m. Sunday. The games are free, but you must apply for tickets at floridapanthers.com/trainingcamp. Damian Cristodero can be reached at [email protected]
EUGENE -- Late in December, Dillon Brooks lit up Matthew Knight Arena with a dagger three that went straight through the heart of UCLA. The team went wild and so did the crowd as the Ducks won behind the grit of a preseason All-American. Two weeks later, it wasn't Brooks that elicited the biggest roar from the sold-out crowd. In fact, things really couldn't have been any more different. The Ducks weren't facing a power; they were facing the lowly Oregon State Beavers in the 347th Civil War. The game wasn't close, in fact it ended up being an 85-43 blowout -- the most lopsided Oregon win in the history of the rivalry. And this time, the crowd didn't get raucous for a superstar. It was Charlie Noebel, a 6-foot-2 senior from Irvine, California, who walked on when depth was limited in 2014 and has managed to keep his spot on the bench as the Ducks rose through the ranks to their now No. 13 ranking. Noebel entered with 2:07 to play and the game firmly in Oregon's hand -- though really the only time it was close was when Jordan Bell for Oregon and Oregon State's Drew Eubanks locked eyes as the referee threw the ball in the air for the opening tip. No, Oregon took care of everything early, jumping out on a 21-0 run and preventing Oregon State from scoring for the first nine minutes and 16 seconds of the game. It was Oregon's defense that got Noebel in the game late in the second half, forcing 21 Oregon State turnovers and blocking 12 shots. It was the offense, too. The Ducks entered in danger of showing rust, having not played in the week since securing a road sweep over the Washington schools to start Pac-12 play 4-0 and extend their winning-streak to 13 games. The layoff did little, as Oregon ran out to a 41-13 lead at the half and had four players finish in double figures - including Payton Pritchard's team-high 17. So late in the second half, Oregon coach Dana Altman went to the reserves. It's a group that's admittedly smaller than it was when Noebel joined the team in 2014. Then, the Ducks had just three returning scholarship players and Altman swooped up five walk-ons days before the season opener. Projected to finish eighth in the Pac-12, the Ducks were unexpectedly good in the 2014-15 season and the walk-on number dipped to three the next year as the program built momentum. Noebel hit the first basket of his career in a season that saw the Ducks win the Pac-12 regular season and tournament titles and advanced to the Elite Eight. This season, there aren't many players like Noebel on the roster. In fact, he's the only walk-on left, as Oregon brought back seven scholarships from last year and added talents like Pritchard, junior college player of the year Kavell Bigby-Williams and others in the offseason. He entered the game Saturday with Oregon leading by 38 points and he was surrounded by players whose tuitions are paid by the school. With 1:38 to play, Noebel grabbed the seventh rebound of his career. With 39 seconds left, he found himself open near the top of the three-point line when Roman Sorkin threw him a pass and, in that moment, Noebel was just like any of the other Ducks who have turned this program into a contender. He caught the ball three feet behind the line, right where Brooks pulled up from against UCLA, and didn't hesitate as he launched the same shot he's worked on thousands of times in practice, but rarely in a game. Swish. The Oregon bench went wild and Matthew Knight Arena exploded. Twenty minutes later, two scholarship players were back front and center to talk about Oregon's 14th win in a row. There are still plenty of things to work on, Pritchard and Casey Benson said, but things are really starting to click. The Ducks have a long way to go to routinely compete with UCLA and Arizona, Altman said. But for a moment, like it did in the game, the attention turned toward the walk-on. "It was awesome to see Charlie get in there," Benson said. "He is such a great kid and cares so much about the team and it's fun to see him score." -- Tyson Alger talger@oregonian.com @tysonalger

EUGENE -- Late in December, Dillon Brooks lit up Matthew Knight Arena with a dagger three that went straight through the heart of UCLA. The team went wild and so did the crowd as the Ducks won behind the grit of a preseason All-American. Two weeks later, it wasn't Brooks that elicited the biggest roar from the sold-out crowd. In fact, things really couldn't have been any more different. The Ducks weren't facing a power; they were facing the lowly Oregon State Beavers in the 347th Civil War. The game wasn't close, in fact it ended up being an 85-43 blowout -- the most lopsided Oregon win in the history of the rivalry. And this time, the crowd didn't get raucous for a superstar. It was Charlie Noebel, a 6-foot-2 senior from Irvine, California, who walked on when depth was limited in 2014 and has managed to keep his spot on the bench as the Ducks rose through the ranks to their now No. 13 ranking. Noebel entered with 2:07 to play and the game firmly in Oregon's hand -- though really the only time it was close was when Jordan Bell for Oregon and Oregon State's Drew Eubanks locked eyes as the referee threw the ball in the air for the opening tip. No, Oregon took care of everything early, jumping out on a 21-0 run and preventing Oregon State from scoring for the first nine minutes and 16 seconds of the game. It was Oregon's defense that got Noebel in the game late in the second half, forcing 21 Oregon State turnovers and blocking 12 shots. It was the offense, too. The Ducks entered in danger of showing rust, having not played in the week since securing a road sweep over the Washington schools to start Pac-12 play 4-0 and extend their winning-streak to 13 games. The layoff did little, as Oregon ran out to a 41-13 lead at the half and had four players finish in double figures team-high 17. So late in the second half, Oregon coach Dana Altman went to the reserves. It's a group that's admittedly smaller than it was when Noebel joined the team in 2014. Then, the Ducks had just three returning scholarship players and Altman swooped up five walk-ons days before the season opener. Projected to finish eighth in the Pac-12, the Ducks were unexpectedly good in the 2014-15 season and the walk-on number dipped to three the next year as the program built momentum. Noebel hit the first basket of his career in a season that saw the Ducks win the Pac-12 regular season and tournament titles and advanced to the Elite Eight. This season, there aren't many players like Noebel on the roster. In fact, he's the only walk-on left, as Oregon brought back seven scholarships from last year and added talents like Pritchard, junior college player of the year Kavell Bigby-Williams and others in the offseason. He entered the game Saturday with Oregon leading by 38 points and he was surrounded by players whose tuitions are paid by the school. With 1:38 to play, Noebel grabbed the seventh rebound of his career. With 39 seconds left, he found himself open near the top of the three-point line when Roman Sorkin threw him a pass and, in that moment, Noebel was just like any of the other Ducks who have turned this program into a contender. He caught the ball three feet behind the line, right where Brooks pulled up from against UCLA, and didn't hesitate as he launched the same shot he's worked on thousands of times in practice, but rarely in a game. Swish. The Oregon bench went wild and Matthew Knight Arena exploded. Twenty minutes later, Oregon's 14th win in a row. There are still plenty of things to work on, Pritchard and Casey Benson said, but things are really starting to click. The Ducks have a long way to go to routinely compete with UCLA and Arizona, Altman said. But for a moment, like it did in the game, the attention turned toward the walk-on. "It was awesome to see Charlie get in there," Benson said. "He is such a great kid and cares so much about the team and it's fun to see him score." -- Tyson Alger talger@oregonian.com @tysonalger
At the World Economic Forum’s India Economic Summit a few days ago, Railway Minister Piyush Goyal made an unusual comment. He said job losses is a very good sign for the economy. When all of the country is anxious about job losses in the private sector it was odd for a minister to be happy about it.Piyush was responding to Bharti Airtel chairman Sunil Mittal who had mentioned India’s top 200 companies considerably cutting jobs over the past few years. “If these top 200 companies are not going to generate jobs, it’s going to get harder and harder for the whole business community to pull society along with it,” Mittal said.Of course, Goyal was not taking pleasure in the pain of the unemployed youth. Why he saw job losses as a good sign was because he saw the youth getting self-employed."What Sunil just spoke about companies bringing down their employment is a very good sign, in fact. The fact is that today, the youth of tomorrow is not looking to be a job seeker alone. He wants to be a job creator. The country today is seeing more and more young people wanting to be entrepreneurs,” he said.Perhaps, Goyal was referring to the MUDRA scheme, which was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2015 to provide loans to small entrepreneurs. So far, Rs 3.42 lakh crore loan has been disbursed to over 8 crore people under the scheme, mostly small entrepreneurs, a report by SKOCH said.But is it right to assume that those who lose jobs get loans and start small businesses?Last year, Larsen & Toubro (L&T) laid off about 14,000 employees. In the first quarter of this calendar year, HDFC Bank’s headcount went came down from 90,421 to 84,325. In the preceding quarter last year, the headcount was down by 4,581. 67 textile units shut down in the last few years, hitting 17,600 employees.Can we assume that these employees turned entrepreneurs?Goyal explained why self-employment is rising. “With the advent of 3D manufacturing, artificial intelligence, with innovation playing a central role, more and more people are getting engaged on their own, and are looking to become franchisees, people who come up with ideas and want to be independent,” he said.It's hard to imagine that those laid off by L&T or Infosys would become franchisees. Talking of 3D manufacturing and artificial intelligence in India, where certain areas even go without smartphones, is premature.And if you consider the fact that startup sector saw a meltdown last year and this year the deal volume is down even though the funding has grown, you would realise Goyal's statement is futuristic and did not service to the hordes of unemployed and laid off youth.

At the World Economic Forum’s India Economic Summit a few days ago, Railway Minister Piyush Goyal made an unusual comment. He said job losses is a very good sign for the economy. When all of the country is anxious about job losses in the private sector it was odd for a minister to be happy about it.Piyush was responding to Bharti Airtel chairman Sunil Mittal who had mentioned India’s top 200 companies considerably cutting jobs over the past few years. “If these top 200 companies are not going to generate jobs, it’s going to get harder and harder for the whole business community to pull society along with it,” Mittal said.Of course, Goyal was not taking pleasure in the pain of the unemployed youth. Why he saw job losses as a good sign was because he saw the youth getting self-employed."What Sunil just spoke about companies bringing down their employment is a very good sign, in fact. The fact is that today, the youth of tomorrow is not looking to be a job seeker alone. He wants to be a job creator. The country today is seeing more and more young people wanting to be entrepreneurs,” he said.Perhaps, Goyal was referring to the MUDRA scheme, which was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2015 to provide loans to small entrepreneurs. So far, Rs 3.42 lakh crore loan has been disbursed to over 8 crore people under the scheme, mostly small entrepreneurs, a report by SKOCH said.But is it right to assume that those who lose jobs get loans and start small businesses?Last laid off about 14,000 employees. In the first quarter of this calendar year, HDFC Bank’s headcount went came down from 90 year, the headcount was down by 4,581. 67 textile units shut down in the last few years, hitting 17,600 employees.Can we assume that these employees turned entrepreneurs?Goyal explained why self-employment is rising. “With the advent of 3D manufacturing, artificial intelligence, with innovation playing a central role, more and more people are getting engaged on their own, and are looking to become franchisees, people who come up with ideas and want to be independent,” he said.It's hard to imagine that those laid off by L&T or Infosys would become franchisees. Talking of 3D manufacturing and artificial intelligence in India, where certain areas even go without smartphones, is premature.And if you consider the fact that startup sector saw a meltdown last year and this year the deal volume is down even though the funding has grown, you would realise Goyal's statement is futuristic and did not service to the hordes of unemployed and laid off youth.
CEBU CITY - The former wife of suspected drug lord and fugitive Kerwin Espinosa was shot dead, Friday. According to initial reports from investigators, Annalou Llaguno, 30, was riding a motorcycle with her partner when three people riding another motorcycle followed them, and shot her twice in the head. Annalou Llaguno was shot dead Friday by unidentified gunmen on a motorcycle. Leleth Romaguera, ABS-CBN News A .45-caliber pistol was recovered from the crime scene, but authorities had yet to establish the identities of the suspects. Llaguno sold jewelry for a living, but investigators said they are looking at the crime as a drug-related incident as she also used to be in a relationship with Cebu's top drug lord Jeffrey "Jaguar" Diaz, aside from being Espinosa's ex-wife. Diaz died in an alleged shootout in Las Piñas in June, while Espinosa went into hiding when the government cracked down on illegal drugs.

The reasons behind the vast racial disparities in student discipline have plagued educators for years, but researchers from Stanford figured out how to design a study that laid bare the basic racism and racial stereotyping that controls the thoughts and behaviors of many white teachers. The Stanford researchers, psychology professor Jennifer Eberhardt and Stanford psychology graduate student Jason Okonofua, were motivated by data showing that Black students in the U.S. were over three times more likely than white students to be suspended or expelled. So they came up with a clever design that would demonstrate how teachers respond to Black students. The results were published in the journal Psychological Science in a study called “Two Strikes: Race and the Disciplining of Young Students.” The researchers presented primary and high school teachers with school records describing two instances of misbehavior by a student. In the first study, the teachers were then asked questions about each infraction: how bad it was, how irritated it would make them feel, how severely the student should be punished, whether they viewed the student as a troublemaker. In the second study, the teachers were asked whether they thought the misbehavior was part of a pattern and whether they could imagine themselves suspending the student in the future. But here’s the catch: the researchers gave some of the students hypothetical names that sounded Black (such as DeShawn or Darnell) and others got names that sounded white (such as Greg or Jake). It was after the second infraction that the researchers found that racial stereotypes went to work. Teachers were more troubled by a second infraction if they were led to believe it was committed by a Black student than if they thought it was committed by a white student. They were more likely to see the Black students as troublemakers, more likely to want to discipline them more harshly, more likely to see the misbehavior as part of a pattern, and more likely to imagine themselves suspending that student in the future. “We see that stereotypes not only can be used to allow people to interpret a specific behavior in isolation, but also stereotypes can heighten our sensitivity to behavioral patterns across time. This pattern sensitivity is especially relevant in the schooling context,” said Eberhardt, a 2014 recipient of the prestigious $625,000 MacArthur “genius” grant for her probing work on race. Okonofua said he could easily see the implications of the findings beyond a school setting. “Most social relationships entail repeated encounters,” he said. “Interactions between police officers and civilians, between employers and employees, between prison guards and prisoners all may be subject to the sort of stereotype escalation effect we have identified in our research.” The researchers suggested it would be enormously helpful to hold interventions with teachers to show them that they needed to view student behavior as malleable, rather than as a permanent state, such as labeling a student a “troublemaker.”

The reasons behind the vast racial disparities in student discipline have plagued educators for years, but researchers from Stanford figured out how to design a study that laid bare the basic racism and racial stereotyping thatThe Stanford researchers, psychology professor Jennifer Eberhardt and Stanford psychology graduate student Jason Okonofua, were motivated by data showing that Black students in the U.S. were over three times more likely than white students to be suspended or expelled. So they came up with a clever design that would demonstrate how teachers respond to Black students. The results were published in the journal Psychological Science in a study called “Two Strikes: Race and the Disciplining of Young Students.” high school teachers with school records describing two instances of misbehavior by a student. In the first study, the teachers were then asked questions about each infraction: how bad it was, how irritated it would make them feel, how severely the student should be punished, whether they viewed the student as a troublemaker. In the second study, the teachers were asked whether they thought the misbehavior was part of a pattern and whether they could imagine themselves suspending the student in the future. But here’s the catch: the researchers gave some of the students hypothetical names that sounded Black (such as DeShawn or Darnell) and others got names that sounded white (such as Greg or Jake). It was after the second infraction that the researchers found that racial stereotypes went to work. Teachers were more troubled by a second infraction if they were led to believe it was committed by a Black student than if they thought it was committed by a white student. They were more likely to see the Black students as troublemakers, more likely to want to discipline them more harshly, more likely to see the misbehavior as part of a pattern, and more likely to imagine themselves suspending that student in the future. “We see that stereotypes not only can be used to allow people to interpret a specific behavior in isolation, but also stereotypes can heighten our sensitivity to behavioral patterns across time. This pattern sensitivity is especially relevant in the schooling context,” said Eberhardt, a 2014 recipient of the prestigious $625,000 MacArthur “genius” grant for her probing work on race. Okonofua said he could easily see the implications of the findings beyond a school setting. “Most social relationships entail repeated encounters,” he said. “Interactions between police officers and civilians, between employers and employees, between prison guards and prisoners all may be subject to the sort of stereotype escalation effect we have identified in our research.” The researchers suggested it would be enormously helpful to hold interventions with teachers to show them that they needed to view student behavior as malleable, rather than as a permanent state, such as labeling a student a “troublemaker.”
India’s Supreme Court has deferred hearing of a defamation case against the local unit of Google on whether it’s liable for offensive comments posted by a user on Blogspot.com. The case has been in play for three years. The case, originally filed by a Hyderabad-based construction company Visaka Industries, underscores growing concerns around Internet freedom in India and several grey areas in interpreting the Internet laws that could have an adverse impact on everybody from Google to Facebook and Twitter. A Google India official confirmed that the case will now be taken up after four weeks. However, the laws in India are still unclear. In 2009, India changed laws to hold Internet companies liable for any “offensive” content on their site. Basically, this means that the Internet companies such as Google, Facebook and Twitter can be held liable for any “offensive” comments posted by a user. Later, in December 2011, the Indian government asked Google and others to pre-screen user content and remove anything defamatory. The government also asked Google and other social media sites to delete any content deemed objectionable. Since then, several users have been booked for Internet offenses. In 2012 for instance, police arrested two women in Mumbai for making “offensive remarks” against a politician on their Facebook pages. The precedent isn’t looking good for Google. In 2011, Google lost a case against Visaka in the High Court of Andhra Pradesh and appealed to the higher court saying it has no control on what users post. Meanwhile, cases like these are making it even tougher for users and the Internet firms to interpret what’s wrong and right. The consequences of any criminal proceedings can be really damaging for Google if held liable. As the WSJ noted, Google managers in India could face fines starting from around $1,600 and even life imprisonment if convicted. In November last year, Google chairman Eric Schmidt even made an appeal to the Indian government to give up on Internet censorship. Schmidt had written a piece for the book “Reimagining India” by McKinsey. India has been tightening its grip on social media using the 2008 Information Technology (Amendment) Act that allows increased censorship. India also ranks quite low on Internet Freedom, according to this report by the Freedom House. The Freedom House adds that the Central Monitoring System, partly in place since April 2013, seeks to equip a range of agencies to monitor any electronic communication in real time, without informing the target or a judge. A bigger challenge facing users and Internet companies in India is that they can be held liable and even arrested for making any “offensive” comments on the web and social media. This is how Freedom House describes the current state of Internet freedom in India. A 2008 Information Technology Act amendment allowed officials to issue blocking orders to internet service providers (ISPs), outlining a procedure and protecting compliant companies from legal proceedings. But 2011 intermediary guidelines under the same Act introduced a different process, making companies liable to criminal penalties if they fail to delete or take down content which any individual flags as “offensive.” Like many governments around the world, India too has been justifying these actions citing security threats. But the problem is lack of clarity on the IT Act’s punitive section 66. “During the coverage period of this report, police arrested at least 11 people for social media posts—including tags, ‘likes’ and closed group comments—under the section’s vague ban on annoying, offensive, or menacing messaging,” the Freedom House said in its 2013 report. If Google loses this case, it will be held accountable for criminal activities on its network. This will force Google and others including Facebook, Twitter to ensure monitoring of posts and comments all the time. This kind of tracking will be “humanly impossible”, according to a top executive at a large Internet company based in India. To be sure, it could take few months after the Supreme Court starts hearing Google’s plea for any judgement to be passed. But officials at Facebook, Twitter and Google are anxiously watching the developments as a test case for how to do business in fast-growing, developing markets like India.

India’s Supreme Court has deferred hearing of a defamation case against the local unit of Google on whether it’s liable for offensive comments posted by a user on Blogspot.com. The case has been in play for three years. The case, originally filed by a Hyderabad-based construction company Visaka Industries, underscores growing concerns around Internet freedom in India and several grey areas in interpreting the Internet laws that could have an adverse impact on everybody from Google to Facebook and Twitter. A Google India official confirmed that the case will now be taken up after four weeks. However, the laws in India are still unclear. In 2009, India changed laws to hold Internet companies liable for any “offensive” content on their site. Basically, this means that the Internet companies such as Google, Facebook and Twitter can be held liable for any “offensive” comments posted by a user. Later, in December 2011, the Indian government asked Google and others to pre-screen user content and remove anything defamatory. The government also asked Google and other social media sites to delete any content deemed objectionable. Since then, several users have been booked for Internet offenses. In 2012 for instance, police arrested two women in Mumbai for making “offensive remarks” against a politician on their Facebook pages. The precedent isn’t looking good for Google. In 2011, Google lost a case against Visaka in the High Court of Andhra Pradesh and appealed to the higher court saying it has no control on making it interpret what’s wrong and right. The consequences of any criminal proceedings can be really damaging for Google if held liable. As the WSJ noted, Google managers in India could face fines starting from around $1,600 and even life imprisonment if convicted. In November last year, Google chairman Eric Schmidt even made an appeal to the Indian government to give up on Internet censorship. Schmidt had written a piece for the book “Reimagining India” by McKinsey. India has been tightening its grip on social media using the 2008 Information Technology (Amendment) Act that allows increased censorship. India also ranks quite low on Internet Freedom, according to this report by the Freedom House. The Freedom House adds that the Central Monitoring System, partly in place since April 2013, seeks to equip a range of agencies to monitor any electronic communication in real time, without informing the target or a judge. A bigger challenge facing users and Internet companies in India is that they can be held liable and even arrested for making any “offensive” comments on the web and social media. This is how Freedom House describes the current state of Internet freedom in India. A 2008 Information Technology Act amendment allowed officials to issue blocking orders to internet service providers (ISPs), outlining a procedure and protecting compliant companies from legal proceedings. But 2011 intermediary guidelines under the same Act introduced a different process, making companies liable to criminal penalties if they fail to delete or take down content which any individual flags as “offensive.” Like many governments around the world, India too has been justifying these actions citing security threats. But the problem is lack of clarity on the IT Act’s punitive section 66. “During the coverage period of this report, police arrested at least 11 people for social media posts—including tags, ‘likes’ and closed group comments—under the section’s vague ban on annoying, offensive, or menacing messaging,” the Freedom House said in its 2013 report. If Google loses this case, it will be held accountable for criminal activities on its network. This will force Google and others including Facebook, Twitter to ensure monitoring of posts and comments all the time. This kind of tracking will be “humanly impossible”, according to a top executive at a large Internet company based in India. To be sure, it could take few months after the Supreme Court starts hearing Google’s plea for any judgement to be passed. But officials at Facebook, Twitter and Google are anxiously watching the developments as a test case for how to do business in fast-growing, developing markets like India.
Officials at a state prison in Vacaville aren't exactly sure how an inmate managed to get sawed in half or where his internal organs went under the eye of prison security. The body of 24-year old Nicholas Anthony Rodriguez was discovered the evening of May 4, stuffed into a trash can in a shower stall near his cell in California State Prison, Solano. Although homicides are not unusual in California's prisons—over 160 inmates have been killed in the last 15 years—Rodriguez's body was found nearly cut in half with most internal organs removed, raising many questions for officials and investigators. Compounding the matter, prisoners were kept on lockdown when Rodriguez's body was discovered, almost fifteen hours after a riot in his cellblock. The details of the gruesome death were revealed by the Associated Press after a public records request. The only suspect in the case is his cellmate, 46-year old Jesus Perez, a man already serving a life sentence for murder.

Officials are trying to piece together the murder, wondering how it could happen in a closed facility under so much surveillance. "Unfortunately, we know that there are drugs, there's alcohol, there are weapons," said Christine Ward, executive director of the Crime Victims Action Alliance. "As much as the officers can police that, we know we’ve got the toughest, the baddest, the most violent criminals in our state prison and unfortunately some of the most cunning prisoners in there as well." "They are going to find ways to do that." The autopsy report determined that Rodriguez had alcohol in his system and was killed with a blow to the head before he was cut open. He had been serving an 8-year sentence for robbery in Alameda County. His mother, Maria Rodriguez of Oakland, was not told any of the details of her son's death by officials.

The Coachella Valley High School has been calling itself the Arabs since the 1930s. It’s difficult to find anything redeeming about the snarling, heavy beard, Kaffiay-wearing mascot. Probably because there is nothing redeeming about it. The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee agrees. The group sent a letter to Coachella Valley Unified School District Superintendent Darryl Adams earlier this week, asking the school drop the mascot. “That logo is a very stereotypical logo,” Abed Ayoub, the ADC’s director of legal and policy affairs, told KESQ. “It’s very offensive to many Arabs and Arab Americans.” Perhaps more outrageous than the mascot itself is that the representatives to the school are not interested in discussing a change. “It wasn’t to discriminate, it was to say ‘hey, thank you Middle East, Iraq, Algeria,” said Rich Ramirez, president of the Coachella Valley high school alumni association. “This is the way it is. This what we like to do. And we’re proud of being Arabs.” (Thanks to Yahoo! Sports for sharing.)

The Coachella Valley High School has been calling itself the Arabs since the 1930s. It’s difficult to find anything redeeming about the snarling, heavy beard, Kaffiay-wearing mascot. Probably because there is nothing redeeming about it. The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee agrees. The group sent a letter to Coachella school drop the mascot. “That logo is a very stereotypical logo,” Abed Ayoub, the ADC’s director of legal and policy affairs, told KESQ. “It’s very offensive to many Arabs and Arab Americans.” Perhaps more outrageous than the mascot itself is that the representatives to the school are not interested in discussing a change. “It wasn’t to discriminate, it was to say ‘hey, thank you,” said Rich Ramirez, president of the Coachella Valley high school alumni association. “This is the way it is.

Only 39 percent of likely U.S. voters approve of the way President Donald Trump is doing his job, according to a Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll released Monday. The latest findings mark the first time Trump’s overall approval rating has slipped below 40 percent in Rasmussen Reports tracking. According to the poll: 39 percent approve of President Trump’s job performance, while 61 percent disapprove 26 percent strongly approve of how Trump is performing, while 49 percent strongly disagree 67 percent of likely GOP voters believe Republicans in Congress have lost touch with GOP voters in the past several years, up from 51 percent in February 44 percent of Democrats say the same about their leaders, up from 36 percent Voters are evenly divided over President Trump’s decision to prohibit from military service those who want to live openly as the opposite sex Most Americans still say their health hasn't changed in recent years, but nearly half say they are paying more for health care. Daily tracking results are collected via telephone surveys of 500 likely voters per night and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. The margin of error is plus or minus 2.5 percentage points with a 95 percent level of confidence. Rasmussen, founded in 2003 and based in Asbury Park, New Jersey, tracks elections, politics, current events, consumer confidence and business.

American Express Hawks Island 2016 Attention Seattle readers! American Express Hawks Island 2016 is coming on October 16. I attended last year and had a blast. This year it is going to be held on 10/16/16 prior to the Seattle Seahawks hosting the Atlanta Falcons at Century Link Field. The official website is oddly lacking any details at this point. However, I reached out to Amex via Twitter and was told to call 1-800-445-7374. I asked about the event and the rep was able to reserve me two tickets. The event is free. She just needed the card number from one of my Amex cards. I’ve been told it needs to be an Amex issued card (ie can’t be issued from a bank). Last year it was held at Pier 66 on the Seattle waterfront. Since there is no information online yet; I can’t confirm the location but would guess it is in the same spot. I will update this post once I receive my confirmation letter in the mail. Rumor has it that it is returning to Pier 66 from 9:00am to 1:00pm with a free shuttle to the Clink for the game. Last year’s confirmation letter came via UPS: As of today (9/30/16) there are still tickets available. I would suggest calling in now before this gets posted all over social media if you want to attend. Planning to attend American Express Hawks Island 2016? If you reserve a ticket, let me know in the comments below. I’ll see you there! Some photos from last year:

BERLIN, July 14 (Reuters) - Authorities in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia have bought a CD from Switzerland containing wealthy Germans’ bank details as part of a drive to identify tax evaders, the Financial Times Deutschland said in its online edition on Saturday. The CD contains the names and bank details of some 1,000 wealthy Germans who are customers of the Zurich branch of Coutts, the private banking arm of Britain’s Royal Bank of Scotland best known as banker to Britain’s Queen Elizabeth, the paper said, citing inside information. It can be assumed that these customers avoided paying large amounts of tax, the paper said. “We are aware of the continued media speculation regarding a potential breach of client data secrecy at Coutts,” a spokeswoman for Coutts said. “Following thorough investigation, we have no evidence to suggest any such breach has taken place,” she added. The state finance ministry neither confirmed nor denied that it had purchased the CD. “We have no indication that this is correct,” said Mario Tuor, spokesman for the Swiss governmental unit tasked with negotiating the tax dispute. The origin of the CD was not clear but in 2010 several German states including North Rhine-Westphalia said they had bought CDs containing Swiss banking data from whistleblowers to help identify German tax evaders. This led thousands of Germans to declare their financial holdings to avoid risking jail sentences. North Rhine-Westphalia paid 3.5 million euros for the CD, according to the FTD, in a move which threatens to further sour already strained relations between the two countries on tax issues. Germany reached an agreement with Switzerland last September to levy taxes on German assets in Swiss bank accounts that is due to come into effect next year pending German parliament approval.

BERLIN, July 14 (Reuters) - Authorities in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia have bought a CD from Switzerland containing wealthy Germans’ bank details as part of a drive to identify tax evaders, the Financial Times Deutschland said in its online edition on Saturday. The CD contains the names and bank details of some 1,000 wealthy Germans who are customers of the Zurich branch of Coutts, the private banking arm of Britain’s Royal Bank of Scotland best known as banker to Britain’s Queen Elizabeth, the paper said, citing inside information. It can be assumed that these customers avoided paying large amounts of tax, the paper said. “We are� a spokeswoman for Coutts said. “Following thorough investigation, we have no evidence to suggest any such breach has taken place,” she added. The state finance ministry neither confirmed nor denied that it had purchased the CD. “We have no indication that this is correct,” said Mario Tuor, spokesman for the Swiss governmental unit tasked with negotiating the tax dispute. The origin of the CD was not clear but in 2010 several German states including North Rhine-Westphalia said they had bought CDs containing Swiss banking data from whistleblowers to help identify German tax evaders. This led thousands of Germans to declare their financial holdings to avoid risking jail sentences. North Rhine-Westphalia paid 3.5 million euros for the CD, according to the FTD, in a move which threatens to further sour already strained relations between the two countries on tax issues. Germany reached an agreement with Switzerland last September to levy taxes on German assets in Swiss bank accounts that is due to come into effect next year pending German parliament approval. As part of the deal Germany will no longer be allowed to buy CDs containing tax data. “We cannot agree to the planned tax agreement with Switzerland as it stands and without the approval of states ruled by the Social Democrats and Greens, it cannot come into effect,” said Norbert-Westphalia, which is run by Social Democrats. “It is therefore only logical that we don’t need to act as if the agreement already applied,” he told Reuters. German tax authorities raided Credit Suisse clients and French officials searched the homes of UBS employees this week, deepening the crackdown on foreigners hiding money in Swiss offshore accounts to dodge taxes. Walter-Borjans said the raids showed it was necessary to obtain information by purchasing CDs in order to uncover tax evasion.
Rachel Maddow has been sounding off about politics on MSNBC so often she might as well have her own show. And now she does. The liberal commentator and Air America radio host, who has become a breakout star for the cable channel during the presidential campaign, is taking over the 9 p.m. slot following Keith Olbermann, whom she often subs for on "Countdown." Olbermann broke what he called a "fully authorized leak" yesterday on the left-wing Web site Daily Kos. Dan Abrams, the former MSNBC general manager who had been hosting "Verdict" at that hour, will continue as NBC's chief legal correspondent, become a "Dateline" contributor and serve as a daytime anchor for MSNBC. With the promotion -- "The Rachel Maddow Show" begins Sept. 8 -- the 35-year-old commentator breaks into what has sometimes been derided as a boys club at the network, led by Olbermann and Chris Matthews. Hillary Clinton's campaign frequently ripped MSNBC for what it called sexist coverage during the Democratic primaries. Maddow, who lives with her girlfriend Susan Mikula in Manhattan and Northampton, Mass., may also be the first openly gay woman to host a prime-time news program. Her appointment is certain to draw criticism that MSNBC is moving further left in an attempt to compete with Fox News from the opposite end of the spectrum. John McCain's Republican campaign has repeatedly assailed the network's campaign coverage as biased. Maddow, who leavens her barbs with humor, is something of a heroine on the left. New York magazine recently ran an item headlined "Why We're Gay for Rachel Maddow," and a Nation article said: "Maddow didn't get here by bluster and bravado but with a combination of crisp thinking and galumphing good cheer. Remarkably, this season's discovery isn't a glossy matinee idol or a smooth-talking partisan hack but a PhD Rhodes scholar lesbian policy wonk who started as a prison AIDS activist."

by WorldTribune Staff, February 22, 2017 A trio of Pakistani brothers who provided IT services to several House Democrats, including former DNC chair Rep. Debbie Waserman Schultz, pilfered $100,000 from an Iraqi politician while they had administrator-level access to the House of Representatives’ computer network, a report said. Wasserman Schultz resigned under pressure from her DNC position following the devastating hacking attack on her party’s internal emails during the 2016 campaign. According to court documents examined by The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group, ringleader Imran Awan and his brothers Abid and Jamal took the money that had been a loan from Dr. Ali al-Attar, an Iraqi political figure. The brothers, whose access to House IT networks has been terminated, are under criminal investigation by the U.S. Capitol Police. The money was funneled through a company with “impossible”-to-decipher financial transactions that the congressional information technology (IT) staffers controlled, the report said. The Awan brothers had provided IT services since 2005 for Wasserman Schultz and dozens of other House Democrats, including members of the intelligence, foreign affairs and homeland security committees. Those positions likely gave them access to congressional emails and other sensitive documents, the Daily Caller report said. A spokesman for Wasserman Schultz did not respond to the Daily Caller’s questions on Feb. 20 about Imran’s employment status. As of Feb. 6, she had declined to fire Imran, the report said. Investigators in the case found that congressional information was being copied to an off-site server and they suspect the brothers of improperly accessing information and stealing congressional property. Chiefs of staff for the employing Democrats were notified Feb. 2. Soon after Imran began working for members of Congress, Imran’s and Abid’s wives — Hina Alvi and Natalia Sova — also began receiving congressional paychecks, the Daily Caller report found. Imran’s employers included two members of the intelligence committee, Indiana Democrat Rep. Andre Carson and California Democrat Rep. Jackie Speier. The youngest Awan brother, Jamal, was placed on the House payroll at 20 years of age and makes $160,000, far higher than others in similar jobs, the Daily Caller report said. Share This Post!

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says it quietly, but he's obviously more than a tad irked at Sen. Rand Paul's latest shenanigan and he says he's not going to put up with it. The Kentucky Republican is holding up a bill that would shore up federal financing for the National Flood Insurance Program by trying to attach an amendment to it that would give legal protections to fetuses from the moment of fertilization. Like all fetal personhood legislation, this one is designed to block abortions. The flood insurance bill has widespread support. NFIP underwrites the cost of flood insurance in participating communities. Under the program, some 5.6 million homeowners get their insurance from private sellers, but the federal government pays off claims in the 44-year-old program. The 2005 fiscal year was an especially tough one in which NFIP had to borrow $18 billion from the Treasury in claims were paid out. The Congressional Budget Office estimates the bill would save $4.7 billion over the next eight years. About one-fifth of those covered receive subsidized rates. The subsidies are focused on homes built before 1975, and on those built before the nationwide flood-mapping system designated high-risk areas. The bill would gradually remove the subsidies on second homes. Says Reid: I think some of this stuff is just—I have been very patient working with my Republican colleagues in allowing relevant amendments on issues, and sometimes we even do non-relevant amendments. But really, on flood insurance? After all the work that’s been put on this bill, this is ridiculous that somebody says "I’m not going to let this bill go forward unless I have a vote on when life begins. I am not going to do that, and I think I speak for the majority of senators. [...] We’ll either do flood insurance with amendments dealing with flood insurance or we won’t do it. Sen. Paul said Tuesday: “I think the people who believe in protecting life would like to see a vote.” Americans living in regions afflicted by hurricanes and other flood-causing events would no doubt like to see a vote, too.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says it quietly, but he's obviously more than a tad irked at Sen. Rand Paul's latest shenanigan and he says he's not going to put up with it. The Kentucky Republican is holding up a bill that would shore up federal financing would give legal protections to fetuses from the moment of fertilization. Like all fetal personhood legislation, this one is designed to block abortions. The flood insurance bill has widespread support. NFIP underwrites the cost of flood insurance in participating communities. Under the program, some 5.6 million homeowners get their insurance from private sellers, but the federal government pays off claims in the 44-year-old program. The 2005 fiscal year was an especially tough one in which NFIP had to borrow $18 billion from the Treasury in claims were paid out. The Congressional Budget Office estimates the bill would save $4.7 billion over the next eight years. About one-fifth before 1975, and on those built before the nationwide flood-mapping system designated high-risk areas. The bill would gradually remove the subsidies on second homes. Says Reid: I think some of this stuff is just—I have been very patient working with my Republican colleagues in allowing relevant amendments on issues, and sometimes we even do non-relevant amendments. But really, on flood insurance? After all the work that’s been put on this bill, this is ridiculous that somebody says "I’m not going to let this bill go forward unless I have a vote on when life begins. I am not going to do that, and I think I speak for the majority of senators. [...] We’ll either do flood insurance with amendments dealing with flood insurance or we won’t do it. Sen. Paul said Tuesday: “I think the people who believe in protecting life would like to see a vote.” Americans living in regions afflicted by hurricanes and other flood-causing events would no doubt like to see a vote, too. But fundamentalist forced-birthers, even supposedly libertarian forced-birthers, are determined not to let anything get in the way of their crusade to curtail women's reproductive rights.
Shortly after Pope Benedict XVI's election in 2005, President Bush met with a small circle of advisers in the Oval Office. As some mentioned their own religious backgrounds, the president remarked that he had read one of the new pontiff's books about faith and culture in Western Europe. Save for one other soul, Bush was the only non-Catholic in the room. But his interest in the pope's writings was no surprise to those around him. As the White House prepares to welcome Benedict on Tuesday, many in Bush's inner circle expect the pontiff to find a kindred spirit in the president. Because if Bill Clinton can be called America's first black president, some say, then George W. Bush could well be the nation's first Catholic president. This isn't as strange a notion as it sounds. Yes, there was John F. Kennedy. But where Kennedy sought to divorce his religion from his office, Bush has welcomed Roman Catholic doctrine and teachings into the White House and based many important domestic policy decisions on them. "I don't think there's any question about it," says Rick Santorum, former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania and a devout Catholic, who was the first to give Bush the "Catholic president" label. "He's certainly much more Catholic than Kennedy." Bush attends an Episcopal church in Washington and belongs to a Methodist church in Texas, and his political base is solidly evangelical. Yet this Protestant president has surrounded himself with Roman Catholic intellectuals, speechwriters, professors, priests, bishops and politicians. These Catholics -- and thus Catholic social teaching -- have for the past eight years been shaping Bush's speeches, policies and legacy to a degree perhaps unprecedented in U.S. history. "I used to say that there are more Catholics on President Bush's speechwriting team than on any Notre Dame starting lineup in the past half-century," said former Bush scribe -- and Catholic -- William McGurn. Bush has also placed Catholics in prominent roles in the federal government and relied on Catholic tradition to make a public case for everything from his faith-based initiative to antiabortion legislation. He has wedded Catholic intellectualism with evangelical political savvy to forge a powerful electoral coalition. "There is an awareness in the White House that the rich Catholic intellectual tradition is a resource for making the links between Christian faith, religiously grounded moral judgments and public policy," says Richard John Neuhaus, a Catholic priest and editor of the journal First Things who has tutored Bush in the church's social doctrines for nearly a decade. In the late 1950s, Kennedy's Catholicism was a political albatross, and he labored to distance himself from his church. Accepting the Democratic nomination in 1960, he declared his religion "not relevant." Bush and his administration, by contrast, have had no such qualms about their Catholic connections. At times, they've even seemed to brandish them for political purposes. Even before he got to the White House, Bush and his political guru Karl Rove invited Catholic intellectuals to Texas to instruct the candidate on the church's social teachings. In January 2001, Bush's first public outing as president in the nation's capital was a dinner with Washington's then-archbishop, Theodore McCarrick. A few months later, Rove (an Episcopalian) asked former White House Catholic adviser Deal Hudson to find a priest to bless his West Wing office. "There was a very self-conscious awareness that religious conservatives had brought Bush into the White House and that [the administration] wanted to do what they had been mandated to do," says Hudson. To conservative Catholics, that meant holding the line on same-sex marriage, euthanasia and embryonic stem cell research, and working to limit abortion in the United States and abroad while nominating judges who would eventually outlaw it. To make the case, Bush has often borrowed Pope John Paul II's mantra of promoting a "culture of life." Many Catholics close to him believe that the approximately 300 judges he has seated on the federal bench -- most notably Catholics John Roberts and Samuel Alito on the Supreme Court -- may yet be his greatest legacy.

Shortly after Pope Benedict XVI's election in 2005, President Bush met with a small circle of advisers in the Oval Office. As some mentioned their own religious backgrounds, the president remarked that he had read one of the new pontiff's books about faith and culture in Western Europe. Save for one other soul, Bush was the only non-Catholic in the room. But his interest in the pope's writings was no surprise to those around him. As the White House prepares to welcome Benedict on Tuesday, many in Bush's inner circle expect the pontiff to find a kindred spirit in the president. Because if Bill Clinton can be called America's first black president, some say, then George W. Bush could well be the nation's first Catholic president. This isn't as there was John F. Kennedy. But where Kennedy sought to divorce his religion from his office, Bush has welcomed Roman Catholic doctrine and teachings into the White House and based many important domestic policy decisions on them. "I don't think there's any question about it," says Rick Santorum, former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania and a devout Catholic, who was the first to give Bush the "Catholic president" label. "He's certainly much more Catholic than Kennedy." Bush attends an Episcopal church in Washington and belongs to a Methodist church in Texas, and his political base is solidly evangelical. Yet this Protestant president has surrounded himself with Roman Catholic intellectuals, speechwriters, professors, priests, bishops and politicians. These Catholics -- and thus Catholic social teaching -- have for the past eight years been shaping Bush's speeches, policies and legacy to a degree perhaps unprecedented in U.S. history. "I used to say that there are more Catholics on President Bush's speechwriting team than on any Notre Dame starting lineup in the past half-century," said former Bush scribe -- and Catholic -- William McGurn. Bush has also placed Catholics in prominent roles in the federal government and relied on Catholic tradition to make a public case for everything from his faith-based initiative to antiabortion legislation. He has wedded Catholic intellectualism with evangelical political savvy to forge a powerful electoral coalition. "There is an awareness in the White House that the rich Catholic intellectual tradition is a resource for making the links between Christian faith, religiously grounded moral judgments and public policy," says Richard John Neuhaus, a Catholic priest and editor of the journal First Things who has tutored Bush in the church's social doctrines for nearly a decade. In the late 1950s, Kennedy's Catholicism was a political albatross, and he labored to distance himself from his church. Accepting the Democratic nomination in 1960, he declared his religion "not relevant." Bush and his administration, by contrast, have had no such qualms about their Catholic connections. At times, they've even seemed to brandish them for political purposes. Even before he got to the White House, Bush and his political guru Karl Rove invited Catholic intellectuals to Texas to instruct the candidate on the church's social teachings. In January 2001, Bush's first public outing as president in the nation's capital was a dinner with Washington's then-archbishop, Theodore McCarrick. A few months later, Rove (an Episcopalian) asked former White House Catholic adviser Deal Hudson to find a priest to bless his West Wing office. "There was a very self-conscious awareness that religious conservatives had brought Bush into the White House and that [the administration] wanted to do what they had been mandated to do," says Hudson. To conservative Catholics, that meant holding the line on same-sex marriage, euthanasia and embryonic stem cell research, and working to limit abortion in the United States and abroad while nominating judges who would eventually outlaw it. To make the case, Bush has often borrowed Pope of life." Many Catholics close to him believe that the approximately 300 judges he has seated on the federal bench -- most notably Catholics John Roberts and Samuel Alito on the Supreme Court -- may yet be his greatest legacy.
George Osborne is advocating a new high speed rail line (dubbed ‘HS3’) for the North of England, running from Liverpool to Hull. But it’s much more than another pressure tactic designed to trouble Number 10. The plan itself has some merit… Everyone agrees infrastructure investment is badly needed if the ‘Northern Powerhouse’ regeneration is to succeed. At the high end, estimates for HS3 construction reach £7 billion, but this pales in comparison to the spiralling costs of HS2, projected at £56 billion (a figure which experience shows underestimates the likely final costs). The comparative benefits of HS3 are significant. The line would slash freight transport on crucial industrial routes by between as much as four and seven hours, and would cut a journey from Leeds to Manchester to just 30 minutes; HS2 saves time but not as much. Wonks at the Institute for Public Policy Research found that HS3 would boost economic growth and should be prioritised over HS2. Seems like they should build HS3 first…

Startling Unpublished Keynes Equations Discovered LONDON | Friday Sep 30, 2011 3:26pm EDT (Routers) – A remarkable discovery reveals equations that economists say could end the business cycle - forever. Ian Macallum, spokesman for the Royal & Ancient Historical Society of London, told Routers that the equations were contained in an unpublished manuscript which was found in the attic of an 18th century flat in Soho. "We were skeptical when initially contacted by the current owners” said Macallum. “There is no record of Keynes ever having resided at that address. But we can confirm that the manuscript is indeed an original work of Lord Keynes." The formulas seem to have been derived from the Navier-Stokes equations which describe the motion of fluid substances. “It’s pure Keynesian genius” said former Fed Governor Fred Mishkin. “There is a strong consensus among economists, at least within the Federal Reserve, that liquidity is the answer to the age-old question ‘what is the meaning of life?’” So, it makes perfect sense that someone as brilliant as Keynes would adapt these equations to a framework for fiscal and monetary policy.” Although very technical in original form, Moody’s Chief Economist Mark Zandi said the final derivation of the equations can be simplified to the following: “Unless you’re a PhD economist, I think it’s impossible to appreciate the elegance of the final derivation: by raising every stimulus factor to the power of infinity, you immediately move the probability of future recessions to zero. It’s brilliant. The notion that ‘risk’ is a necessary component of free market capitalism will finally be discredited.” Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke was equally sanguine. “I’ve asked some of my fellow academics at CERN to begin modeling the equations with an array of neutrinos, mixed with a small amount of unconventional policy. Even without the helicopter, it should be theoretically possible to achieve an economic growth rate faster than the speed of light. Einstein was a monetarist, so I’ve always been skeptical of his Special Theory. It is now painfully obvious that he should have raised ‘c’ to the power of infinity, not 2.” “I’m still trying to catch my breath!” exclaimed Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman. “Literally, when I read the equations, I felt a chill down my spine and a tingle in my balls.

Startling Unpublished Keynes Equations Discovered LONDON | Friday Sep 30, 2011 3:26pm EDT (Routers) – A remarkable discovery reveals equations that economists say could end the business cycle - forever. Ian Macallum, spokesman for the Royal & Ancient Historical Society of London, told Routers that the equations were contained in an unpublished manuscript which was found in the attic of an 18th century flat in Soho. "We were skeptical when initially contacted by the current owners” said Macallum. “There is no record of Keynes ever having resided at that address. But we can confirm that the manuscript is indeed an original work of Lord Keynes." The formulas seem to have been derived from the Navier-Stokes equations which describe the motion of fluid substances. “It’s pure Keynesian genius” said former Fed Governor Fred Mishkin. “There is a strong consensus among economists, at least within the Federal Reserve, that liquidity is the answer to the age-old question ‘what is the meaning of life?’” So, it makes perfect sense that someone as brilliant as Keynes would adapt these equations to a framework for fiscal and monetary policy.” Although very technical Zandi said the final derivation of the equations can be simplified to the following: “Unless you’re a PhD economist,s impossible to appreciate the elegance of the final derivation: by raising every stimulus factor to the power of infinity, you immediately move the probability of future recessions to zero. It’s brilliant. The notion that ‘risk’ is a necessary component of free market capitalism will finally be discredited.” Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke was equally sanguine. “I’ve asked some of my fellow academics at CERN to begin modeling the equations with an array of neutrinos, mixed with a small amount of unconventional policy. Even without the helicopter, it should be theoretically possible to achieve an economic growth rate faster than the speed of light. Einstein was a monetarist, so I’ve always been skeptical of his Special Theory. It is now painfully obvious that he should have raised ‘c’ to the power of infinity, not 2.” “I’m still trying to catch my breath!” exclaimed Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman. “Literally, when I read the equations, I felt a chill down my spine and a tingle in my balls. We can finally end the partisan bickering and get the global economy back on track.” (Reporting by Linda Green of Routers News) h/t John Lohman
NEW YORK — General Electric, whose new leadership is moving to eliminate bloat and grapple with the fallout from earlier, ill-timed decisions, is taking drastic steps to keep pace with seismic shifts in the global energy industry. On Thursday the Boston-based company said it would cut 12,000 jobs in its power division, reducing the size of the unit’s workforce by 18 percent, as part of a push to compete with international rivals in a saturated natural gas market, adjust to “softening” in the oil and gas sectors, and stay abreast of the growing demand for renewable energy. The GE employees losing their jobs work in production and professional roles. They will be notified about whether they are being let go over the next 18 months. About half are based in Europe. Advertisement With the latest job cuts, GE now has taken the lead among US companies in announcing the most job reductions this year. The beleaguered manufacturer has eliminated a total of 19,242 jobs in 2017. The latest reduction pushed GE past General Motors, which has announced a series of cuts throughout the year amid slow demand for autos.

Renewable energy sources are expected to attract two-thirds of global investment in power plants until 2040 and to account for as much as 40 percent of total power generation by then, according to the International Energy Agency. In much of the world, more coal is being burned and shipped this year, compared with 2016. Still, long-term trends favor renewable sources and natural gas in developed and developing countries. Over time, natural gas will probably be pushed from a primary role to a supporting, balancing one as alternative energy rises in prominence. Amid the changes in production, demand for power is increasing at a slower pace as appliances and commercial buildings become more energy-efficient. The shifting dynamics are roiling the huge conglomerates that serve the industry. Siemens, GE’s main rival, said last month that it was cutting 6,900 jobs worldwide in units focused on power plant technology, generators, and large electrical motors. In making the announcement, Siemens said that “the power generation industry is experiencing disruption of unprecedented scope and speed.” Advertisement GE said its cuts would help the company save $1 billion as it moves to reduce costs by $3.5 billion this year and next across its vast businesses. “This decision was painful but necessary for GE Power to respond to the disruption in the power market,” Russell Stokes, head of the company’s power division, said in a statement. “We expect market challenges to continue, but this plan will position us for 2019 and beyond.” Although GE estimates that its equipment generates more than 30 percent of the world’s electricity, analysts at Stifel wrote in a note to clients on Thursday that a streamlining of the power division was “long overdue” and an “obvious next step” to improve the company’s cash flow and profit margins. “GE Power is right-sizing the business for these realities,” Stifel analysts wrote. John Flannery, GE’s new chief executive, has called 2018 a “reset year” for a company that has ballooned into an enormous enterprise with stakes in medical-imaging equipment, jet engines, and other sectors. Investors have criticized GE for overspending, and its financial standing has suffered. The company’s stock has plunged more than 40 percent this year, the worst performance, by far, on the Dow Jones industrial average. Last month, GE said it would cut its dividend — for only the second time since the Great Depression. Advertisement Flannery had said he was “deeply disappointed” by the company’s third-quarter results, which were announced in October and showed a steep decline in profits. GE’s oil and gas business, which the company tried to expand just as oil prices sank, has weighed down earnings. But the power division’s poor performance was a nasty surprise. Two years ago, GE spent $13.5 billion to buy the power division of Alstom, a French company. The unit, GE’s largest industrial acquisition at the time, has since then “clearly performed below our expectations” and offered only single-digit returns, Flannery told investors last month.

NEW YORK — General Electric, whose new leadership is moving to eliminate bloat and grapple with the fallout from earlier, ill-timed decisions, is taking drastic steps to keep pace with seismic shifts in the global energy industry. On Thursday the Boston-based company said it would cut 12,000 jobs in its power division, reducing the size of the unit’s workforce by 18 percent, as part of a push to compete with international rivals in a saturated natural gas market, adjust to “softening” in the oil and gas sectors, and stay abreast of the growing demand for renewable energy. The GE employees losing their jobs work in production and professional roles. They will be notified about whether they are being let go over the next 18 months. About half are based in Europe. Advertisement With the latest job cuts, GE now has taken the lead among US companies in announcing the most job reductions this year. The beleaguered manufacturer has eliminated a total of 19,242 jobs in 2017. The latest reduction pushed GE past General Motors, which has announced a series of cuts throughout the year amid slow demand for autos. Get Talking Points in your inbox: An afternoon recap of the day’s most important business news, delivered weekdays. Sign Up Thank you for signing up! Sign up for more newsletters here Solar and wind energy technology is increasingly being deployed around the world, in large part because of lower production costs. Renewable energy sources are expected to attract two-thirds of global investment in power plants until 2040 and to account for as much as 40 percent of total power generation by then, according to the International Energy Agency. In much of the world, more coal is being burned and shipped this year, compared with 2016. Still, long-term trends favor renewable sources and natural gas in developed and developing countries. Over time, natural gas will probably be pushed from a primary role to a supporting, balancing one as alternative energy rises in prominence. Amid the changes in production, demand for power is increasing at a slower pace as appliances and commercial buildings become more energy-efficient. The shifting dynamics are roiling the huge conglomerates that serve the industry. Siemens, GE’s main rival, said last month that it was cutting 6,900 jobs worldwide in units focused on power plant technology, generators, and large electrical motors. In “the power generation industry is experiencing disruption of unprecedented scope and speed.” Advertisement GE said its cuts would help the company save $1 billion as it moves to reduce costs by $3.5 billion this year and next across its vast businesses. “This decision was painful but necessary for GE Power to respond to the disruption in the power market,” Russell Stokes, head of the company’s power division, said in a statement. “We expect market challenges to continue, but this plan will position us for 2019 and beyond.” Although GE estimates that its equipment generates more than 30 percent of the world’s electricity, analysts at Stifel wrote in a note to clients on Thursday that a streamlining of the power division was “long overdue” and an “obvious next step” to improve the company’s cash flow and profit margins. “GE Power is right-sizing the business for these realities,” Stifel analysts wrote. John Flannery, GE’s new chief executive, has called 2018 a “reset year” for a company that has ballooned into an enormous enterprise with stakes in medical-imaging equipment, jet engines, and other sectors. Investors have criticized GE for overspending, and its financial standing has suffered. The company’s stock has plunged more than 40 percent this year, the worst performance, by far, on the Dow Jones industrial average. Last month, GE said it would cut its dividend — for only the second time since the Great Depression. Advertisement Flannery had said he was “deeply disappointed” by the company’s third-quarter results, which were announced in October and showed a steep decline in profits. GE’s oil and gas business, which the company tried to expand just as oil prices sank, has weighed down earnings. But the power division’s poor performance was a nasty surprise. Two years ago, GE spent $13.5 billion to buy the power division of Alstom, a French company. The unit, GE’s largest industrial acquisition at the time, has since then “clearly Flannery told investors last month. Material from Bloomberg News was used in this report.

Get going quickly with Vulkan on Android using NVIDIA's extensive developer materials and the ultimate Android development platform, NVIDIA SHIELD. Getting Started with Vulkan on Android Vulkan is the latest and most cutting edge 3D programming API for Android games and 3D applications. Built by experts from across the industry working together through Khronos, the Vulkan API provides common low level access to 3D hardware on a range of operating systems. To learn how to use Vulkan on Android and for all the latest Vulkan techniques, check out NVIDIA's developer information below and NVIDIA's main Vulkan developer hub. We have been using NVIDIA hardware and drivers on both Windows and Android for Vulkan development, and the reductions in CPU overhead have been impressive. John Carmack, Chief Technology Officer, Oculus Vulkan Readiness on Android & NVIDIA SHIELD NVIDIA is the world leader in visual computing and is supporting Vulkan with information, developer guides and drivers across a large range of NVIDIA graphics cards for the desktop and NVIDIA SHIELD devices. Vulkan 1.0 Vulkan 1.0 is supported on NVIDIA SHIELD TV (OTA 3.0.0), SHIELD TABLET K1 (OTA 1.2.0), and SHIELD TABLET (OTA 4.1.0) with Android 6.0 “Marshmallow” and later. Vulkan driver updates and additional extensions have been regularly delivered via subsequent OTAs. Vulkan 1.1 Vulkan 1.1 is supported on NVIDIA SHIELD TV, with Android 8.0 “Oreo). SHIELD ANDROID TV SHIELD ANDROID TV is the latest offering in the SHIELD family and is powered by the advanced NVIDIA Tegra X1 processor. Running Android TV and offering the highest Android performance, full game controller input and highly tuned audio, the SHIELD ANDROID TV offers developers the ultimate Android development platform and a new way to engage with users directly in their living rooms. Buy Now Vulkan OS To check the SHIELD OS version, boot the device, go to Settings->About->Version. If your device has not yet recieved the required OTA, click the "Check for Updates" option in Settings->About, or check the SHIELD forums, Vulkan forums or SHIELD support site for more information. Vulkan Android Development Android developers wanting to begin with Vulkan and start taking advantage of the new API, you can start now! Using a Vulkan ready device (see above) you can setup a Vulkan application and start making API calls to the device's 3D hardware straight away. To do so, refer to the "Using the Vulkan API on NVIDIA SHIELD" document to correctly setup Vulkan in Android and on NVIDIA SHIELD devices. Download Google now provides documentation detailing how to use Vulkan on Android on the official Android NDK documentation site. Vulkan will be officially supported in Android commencing with Android "N" but you can use Vulkan now on SHIELD using the techniques in the SHIELD documentation listed above. Vulkan Android Samples To assist developers getting up to speed with Vulkan and to demonstrate some of the benefits of the Vulkan API, NVIDIA's developer support engineers have prepared several samples. These samples are included along with the OpenGL and OpenGL ES samples and together form the NVIDIA GameWorks Graphics Samples. For a full listing of samples, documentation and source code, refer to NVIDIA's main GameWorks samples page. More Featured Samples Vulkan Threaded Rendering : Performance, Visuals The Chopper demo uses the Vulkan API to render dozens of high quality helicopters at high framerate and low CPU overhead. The demo is available on launch day for Windows, Linux and Embedded (L4T) and will be available in the coming days for Android. GitHub Download More Vulkan Information Vulkan is a cutting-edge, industry supported, cross-platform 3D API. NVIDIA's developer support division has prepared a wealth of documentation and sample code to get you up to speed as quickly as possible. For more information on Vulkan generally and for drivers and installation guides for Windows, Linux and Linux4Tegra, check out the specific platform pages and NVIDIA's main Vulkan developer hub.
Donald Trump certainly knows how to manipulate the media and ruffle some feathers in order to get a reaction, this we know. Trump's plan to build a wall on the Mexican border doesn't need to be rehashed here, but one person who has let Trump's rhetoric on the subject get under his skin is former Mexican president Vicente Fox. Fox has been on an emotional roller coaster ever since Trump started in with his criticisms of Mexico. Initially, Fox took to the airwaves to let everyone know that the wall Trump has said Mexico will pay for, ya, he's not going to be paying for that. "I declare, I'm not going to pay for that f*cking wall" As Ben Mathis from Kickass Politics writes: "in his frankest interview yet, former Mexican President Vicente Fox pulls no punches about the man he calls a "false prophet." It was recorded the same week as his apology to Donald Trump, and President Fox strike a very different tone, doubling down on "I'm not going to pay for the f_cking wall" and adding "and please don’t take out the f_cking full word." Vicente Fox compares the man he calls the "hated gringo" and "ugly American" to Latin American dictators like Hugo Chavez and Juan Peron. He also warns that if Trump starts a trade war, then Mexico could retaliate by stopping or limiting money transfers and remittances for US corporations and American tourists in Mexico. Because as Vicente Fox says "Don’t play around with us, we can jump walls, we can swim rivers, & we can defend ourselves." And he warns that if Trump becomes President, he "could take us to a war, not just a trade war." At one point, Fox went as far as to warn Trump not to play around with Mexicans, and that if the rhetoric keeps up it could literally lead to war. "We're coming back to the era of the ugly American. The gringo was hated all around the world, and this guy pretty soon he got the title. He is the ugly American, he is the hated gringo, because he's attacking all of us, he's offending all of us. Imagine, I mean that could take us to a war. Not to a trade war." "Don't play around with us, we can jump walls, we can swim rivers, we can defend ourselves." After all of the venting, Fox then softened a bit, and issued an apology in an interview with Breitbart. "I'm humble enough, as leaders should be, compassionate leader, if I offended you I'm sorry. But what about the other way around." While Vicente Fox may not be indicative of how all world leaders would react to a President Trump, it is safe to say that every single day would be an adventure in the geopolitical arena if and when the former reality tv star and media hungry businessman becomes the next President of the United States.

Donald Trump certainly knows how to manipulate the media and ruffle some feathers in order to get a reaction, this we know. Trump's plan to build a wall on the Mexican border doesn't need to be rehashed here, but one person who has let Trump's rhetoric on the subject get under his skin is former Mexican president Vicente Fox. Fox has been on an emotional roller coaster ever since Trump started in with his criticisms of Mexico. Initially, Fox took to the airwaves to let everyone know that the wall Trump has said Mexico will pay for, ya, he's not going to be paying for that. "I declare, I'm not going to pay for that f*cking wall" As Ben Mathis from Kick President Vicente Fox pulls no punches about the man he calls a "false prophet." It was recorded the same week as his apology to Donald Trump, and President Fox strike a very different tone, doubling down on "I'm not going to pay for the f_cking wall" and adding "and please don’t take out the f_cking full word." Vicente Fox compares the man he calls the "hated gringo" and "ugly American" to Latin American dictators like Hugo Chavez and Juan Peron. He also warns that if Trump starts a trade war, then Mexico could retaliate by stopping or limiting money transfers and remittances for US corporations and American tourists in Mexico. Because as Vicente Fox says "Don’ can swim rivers, & we can defend ourselves." And he warns that if Trump becomes President, he "could take us to a war, not just a trade war." At one point, Fox went as far as to warn Trump not to play around with Mexicans, and that if the rhetoric keeps up it could literally lead to war. "We're coming back to the era of the ugly American. The gringo was hated all around the world, and this guy pretty soon he got the title. He is the ugly American, he is the hated gringo, because he's attacking all of us, he's offending all of us. Imagine, I mean that could take us to a war. Not to a trade war." "Don't play around with us, we can jump walls, we can swim rivers, we can defend ourselves." After all of the venting, Fox then softened a bit, and issued an apology in an interview with Breitbart. "I'm humble enough, as leaders should be, compassionate leader, if I offended you I'm sorry. But what about the other way around." While Vicente Fox may not be indicative of how all world leaders would react to a President Trump, it is safe to say that every single day would be an adventure in the geopolitical arena if and when the former reality tv star and media hungry businessman becomes the next President of the United States.
Apple's assembly partners are already working full-tilt on three new iPhones for this fall, acccording to one report, differing from a recent claim that the "iPhone 8" won't enter mass production until mid-September. The lineup includes two LCD-based phones and one OLED model, DigiTimes sources said on Wednesday . That would support most rumors about Apple's product slate, which have pointed toward 4.7- and 5.5-inch "iPhone 7s" units, and a more radically altered "iPhone 8" with an edge-to-edge, 5.8-inch OLED display.The people said that while there won't be shortages of the "7s" models, the "8" could potentially run into problems. A number of reports have echoed that sentiment —most recently one from KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who said that while the "iPhone 8" will launch at the same time as its counterparts, it won't enter volume production until the middle of next month , leaving it in extremely short supply.Kuo estimated that as few as 2 to 4 million units could be made in the September quarter. That figure could rapidly escalate to between 45 and 50 million units by the end of the year.Other "iPhone 8" features may include facial recognition, a virtual home button, laser autofocus, fast cable charging, and/or wireless charging. The "7s" line is rumored to be keeping a physical home button, but may share some of the "8's" additions, like charging upgrades.It's still unclear what the devices will actually be called . The OLED model has sometimes been referred to as the "iPhone X" or "iPhone Pro," the latter being a possibility in light of the iPad Pro, Mac Pro, MacBook Pro, and upcoming iMac Pro

Today marks the airing of Supernatural’s 200th episode, a high mark for any television series and one that’s nearly impossible to achieve in the days of 13-episode seasons and limited year-to-year orders. However, while the concept of a 200th episode isn’t new, it’s worth noting Supernatural’s celebratory moment is quite uncommon for high concept series of its type that never make it past the first three years of their lives. Somehow, though hell, heaven, purgatory and everything in between, the story of the Winchesters has managed to enthrall audiences for the better part of a decade – to the point where it holds the title of being the only active series that’s older than the network it airs on – and while many networks may want to point to the program’s high concept nature in explanation of its success, we all know the real reason it continues to thrive. At its core, Supernatural’s a show about two brothers driving cross-country for work, their work just happens to be hunting creatures of the night. The show’s as much a procedural as Law & Order and CSI:, but where the CW drama diverts from those comparisons is in its method of madness. Every season, the writers make fans believe they’re progressing somewhere when in fact they’re never moving anywhere, in the end almost always ending up in the same place they started. Every season of Supernatural begins with one of the brothers out of sorts, and the whole story of a given year progresses to a place that sees them get back together as a family before everything goes bad and they’re back to square one, except now the roles are reversed and the brother that wasn’t suffering in the previous year will be the one suffering in the next. The ways in which the show make Sam and Dean agonize may vary, but the system has remained true for the last ten seasons. This isn’t a bad thing, but it’s why the show’s continued to maintain after all this time despite holding court to a concept that most other series would lose steam with fairly quickly. Supernatural is the “character before concept” gold standard for broadcast television. Yes, its premise is fun, outlandish and highly marketable, but the concept is not what’s keeping the audience coming back season after season. Actors Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki have created a family dynamic on their show few others can match. The bond they share as friends seeps through episode after episode and immediately grabs new fans as well as old, and it’s this continued cycle of discovery by new viewers when others may drop off that give the show an earned right to longevity. The lesson the rest of television can learn from Supernatural is one we’ve discussed time and time again: on the small screen, the promise of a long life and profitability will only come from the work of character. No matter how great a concept may be, if the foundation that concept is built upon isn’t sound enough to support dynamic relationships between characters, audiences aren’t going to stick around. Viewers want to travel an unexplored world with people they love and love to hate, not people they can easily ignore.

Today marks the airing of Supernatural’s 200th episode, a high mark for any television series and one that’s nearly impossible to achieve in the days of 13-episode seasons and limited year-to-year orders. However, while the concept of a 200th episode isn’t new, it’s worth noting Supernatural’s celebratory moment is quite uncommon for high concept series of its type that never make it past the first three years of their lives. Somehow, though hell, heaven, purgatory and everything in between, the story of the Winchesters has managed to enthrall audiences for the better part of a decade – to the point where it holds the title of being the only active series that’s older than the network it airs on – and while many networks may want to point to the program’s high concept nature in explanation of its success, we all know the real reason it continues to thrive. At its core, Supernatural’s a show about two brothers driving cross-country for work, their work just happens to be hunting creatures of the night. The show’s as much a procedural as Law & Order and CSI:, but where the CW drama diverts from those comparisons is in its method of madness. Every season, the writers make fans believe they’re progressing somewhere when in fact they’re never moving anywhere, in the end almost always ending up in the same place they started. Every season of Supernatural begins with one of the brothers out of sorts, and the whole story of a given year progresses to a place that sees them, except now the roles are reversed and the brother that wasn’t suffering in the previous year will be the one suffering in the next. The ways in which the show make Sam and Dean agonize may vary, but the system has remained true for the last ten seasons. This isn’t a bad thing, but it’s why the show’s continued to maintain after all this time despite holding court to a concept that most other series would lose steam with fairly quickly. Supernatural is the “character before concept” gold standard for broadcast television. Yes, its premise is fun, outlandish and highly marketable, but the concept is not what’s keeping the audience coming back season after season. Actors Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki have created a family dynamic on their show few others can match. The bond they share as friends seeps through episode after episode and immediately grabs new fans as well as old, and it’s this continued cycle of discovery by new viewers when others may drop off that give the show an earned right to longevity. The lesson the rest of television can learn from Supernatural is one we’ve discussed time and time again: on the small screen, the promise of a long life and profitability will only come from the work of character. No matter how great a concept may be, if the foundation that concept is built upon isn’t sound enough to support dynamic relationships between characters, audiences aren� want to travel an unexplored world with people they love and love to hate, not people they can easily ignore.
AUSTIN - Texas ninth-graders would be taught how to properly interact with police when they are stopped for traffic violations or if they are detained under a proposal announced Thursday by an influential state senator. The announcement is the first of what is expected to be numerous bills be filed for the legislative session that begins in January to address citizen-police interactions as a way to de-escalate friction between law enforcement and various minority communities. Senate Criminal Justice Committee Chairman John Whitmire, D-Houston, said his proposed legislation would require the Texas Education Agency to develop curriculum "in law enforcement duties and interaction." If eventually approved by the Legislature, the law would be the first of its kind in Texas. Your browser does not support the iframe HTML tag.

We must all come together to develop the best strategies to improve relations and trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve," Whitmire said. "Increased training and education for both peace officers and our students will help foster positive relations and interactions." Reaction to shootings At the behest of state leaders, Whitmire said his committee has been studying law enforcement efforts to engage community leaders and increase their involvement in communities following protests in several cities across the country over the fatal shootings of black men by police officers. As part of that, Whitmire said, his committee is studying the number of injuries inflicted or suffered by law enforcement officers. In addition, the committee is reviewing dangers to law enforcement officers, and the collection and distribution of threat assessment data. The committee's next hearing on the issue is slated for Oct. 4. School advocates and education groups had mixed reactions to the proposal. They noted that state-required driver training programs already instruct teenagers how to act when they are stopped by police for a traffic violation. Clay Robison, a spokesman for the Texas State Teachers Association, said while the proposal sounds workable, the details will be important. Among those details is how the curriculum may differ from one area to another, if police agencies' procedures are different from one city to another. "It sounds like it might have merit, and we'll look forward to seeing the bill," he said. Tasha Rodriguez, a Pflugerville school-choice advocate who is African-American, said that while the idea sounds intriguing, "what's in the curriculum will make the difference. "If this starts the conversation between communities of color and law enforcement, then good," the mother of three said. "But if the curriculum is one sided, then it may not make much difference. I support the police, but there needs to be dialogue between them and their community to relieve the tensions that are present in many cities." 'Not just show and tell' Police groups contacted Thursday declined comment saying they wanted to see details of Whitmire's proposal first. Whitmire said the goal of his proposal is to educate students on the proper way to interact with law enforcement. "This is not just show and tell, it is the start of a serious discussion," he said. "It would probably be good for everyone in the state to take a course like this, but that probably can't happen." He said the proposed curriculum could be different for rural areas of Texas than more diverse urban areas, but his plan is for it to be developed as a collaboration between school officials, community leaders and local law enforcement. "Too often police encounters are ending in a tragedy, and that's what we want to stop," Whitmire said. "If you feel an officer does you wrong, you don't take it up with them out on the street, you take it up with an administrator. That's one of the things I think we'll teach."

AUSTIN - Texas ninth-graders would be taught how to properly interact with police when they are stopped for traffic violations or if they are detained under a proposal announced Thursday by an influential state senator. The announcement is the first of what is expected to be numerous bills be filed for the legislative session that begins in January to address citizen-police interactions as a way to de-escalate friction between law enforcement and various minority communities. Senate Criminal Justice Committee Chairman John Whitmire, D-Houston, said his proposed legislation would require the Texas Education Agency to develop curriculum "in law enforcement duties and interaction." If eventually approved by the Legislature, the law would be the first of its kind in Texas. Your browser does not support the iframe HTML tag.

We must all come together to develop the best strategies to improve relations and trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve," Whitmire said. "Increased training and education for both peace officers At the behest of state leaders, Whitmire said his committee has been studying law enforcement efforts to engage community leaders and increase their involvement in communities following protests in several cities across the country over the fatal shootings of black men by police officers. As part of that, Whitmire said, his committee is studying the number of injuries inflicted or suffered by law enforcement officers. In addition, the committee is reviewing dangers to law enforcement officers, and the collection and distribution of threat assessment data. The committee's next hearing on the issue is slated for Oct. 4. School advocates and education groups had mixed reactions to the proposal. They noted that state-required driver training programs already instruct teenagers how to act when they are stopped by police for a traffic violation. Clay Robison, a spokesman for the Texas State Teachers Association, said while the proposal sounds workable, the details will be important. Among those details is how the curriculum may differ from one area to another, if police agencies' procedures are different from one city to another. "It sounds like it might have merit, and we'll look forward to seeing the bill," he said. Tasha Rodriguez, a Pflugerville school-choice advocate who is African-American, said that while the idea sounds intriguing, "what's in the curriculum will make the difference. "If this starts the conversation between communities of color and law enforcement, then good," the mother of three said. "But if the curriculum is one. I support the police, but there needs to be dialogue between them and their community to relieve the tensions that are present in many cities." 'Not just show and tell' Police groups contacted Thursday declined comment saying they wanted to see details of Whitmire's proposal first. Whitmire said the goal of his proposal is to educate students on the proper way to interact with law enforcement. "This is not just show and tell, it is the start of a serious discussion," he said. "It would probably be good for everyone in the state to take a course like this, but that probably can't happen." He said the proposed curriculum could be different for rural areas of Texas than more diverse urban areas, but his plan is for it to be developed as a collaboration between school officials, community leaders and local law enforcement. "Too often police encounters are ending in a tragedy, and that's what we want to stop," Whitmire said. "If you feel an officer does you wrong, you don't take it up with them out on the street, you take it up with an administrator. That's one of the things I think we'll teach."
According to the Office for National Statistics, the number of British citizens who have moved abroad has risen by a fifth under the Coalition, reaching 154,000 last year. Separate figures, published by the OECD, show that almost 1.3million Britons with university-level education are living abroad, more than any other developed economy. Nick de Bois, secretary of the 1922 committee of backbench MPs, says Britain has a "sales job to do" to convince talented professionals not to leave the country. He said: "We live in a very mobile, global market people can look around and they can judge where they want to go. My concern is that people are putting their own interests first and looking to beyond the European Union. "We have to convince those people, who we have invested so much in, to make Britain their first choice. We have to continue to drive lower taxes, we have to keep driving the change and reform in our public services." According to Mr de Bois, many of those who are leaving Britain are going to work for foreign-based aerospace, engineering and creative companies based in "growth economies" such as Hong Kong and countries in the Middle East. The official figures show that under the Coalition more than 100,000 additional British citizens opted to move abroad last year.The number of British emigrants is now almost equivalent to the number of foreigners choosing to leave the country. According to the OECD, a total of 1.28million highly-skilled British citizens are now living abroad, significantly more than any other developed economy. There are 865,000 highly-skilled German citizens living abroad, and almost 400,000 highly skilled US citizens who have chosen to emigrate. Mr de Bois said: "It is inevitable that the people we're talking about are going to prefer to go where the growth is greatest. "We have got to persuade these people that they should stay here. We are losing the professional, skilled class." Mr de Bois said that lower taxes and a “culture change” could help persuade highly-mobile and well-educated workers to stay in this country. He said: “Why are we losing so many people from the pharmaceutical, aerospace and creative companies? It is because they feel they can get a higher quality of life, a better education for their children and a lower cost of living elsewhere. “The government has identified this problem and is turning the economy around. We have now got to do a better sales job to encourage people to stay.” The figures from the Office for National Statistics come amid growing concern that British graduates from the best universities are choosing to work abroad. Almost one-in-10 British graduates from institutions such as Cambridge, Durham, Exeter and Oxford who found jobs in 2011 were working overseas. The rate jumped to 12 per cent among British students from St Andrews. * The strange death of the middle class, by Ed West and Fraser Nelson, appears in The Spectator today.

According to the Office for National Statistics, the number of British citizens who have moved abroad has risen by a fifth under the Coalition, reaching 154,000 last year. Separate figures, published by the OECD, show that almost 1.3million Britons with university-level education are living abroad, more than any other developed economy. Nick de Bois, secretary of the 1922 committee of backbench MPs, says Britain has a "sales job to do" to convince talented professionals not to leave the country. He said: "We live in a very mobile, global market people can look around and they can judge where they want to go. My concern is that people are putting their own interests first and looking to beyond the European Union. "We have to convince those people, who we have invested so much in, to make Britain their first choice. We have to continue to drive lower taxes, we have to keep driving the change and reform in our public services." According to Mr de Bois, many of those who in "growth economies" such as Hong Kong and countries in the Middle East. The official figures show that under the Coalition more than 100,000 additional British citizens opted to move abroad last year.The number of British emigrants is now almost equivalent to the number of foreigners choosing to leave the country. According to the OECD, a total of 1.28million highly-skilled British citizens are now living abroad, significantly more than any other developed economy. There are 865,000 highly-skilled German citizens living abroad, and almost 400,000 highly skilled US citizens who have chosen to emigrate. Mr de Bois said: "It is inevitable that the people we're talking about are going to prefer to go where the growth is greatest. "We have got to persuade these people that they should stay here. We are losing the professional, skilled class." Mr de Bois said that lower taxes and a “culture change” could help persuade highly-mobile and well-educated workers to stay in this country. He said: “Why are we losing so many people from the pharmaceutical, aerospace and creative companies? It is because they feel they can get a higher quality of life, a better education for their children and a lower cost of living elsewhere. “The government has identified this problem and is turning the economy around. We have now got to do a better sales job to encourage people National Statistics come amid growing concern that British graduates from the best universities are choosing to work abroad. Almost one-in-10 British graduates from institutions such as Cambridge, Durham, Exeter and Oxford who found jobs in 2011 were working overseas. The rate jumped to 12 per cent among British students from St Andrews. * The strange death of the middle class, by Ed West and Fraser Nelson, appears in The Spectator today.
TRUMP MOMENTUM IS SURGING=> Half a MILLION at his Rallies since July – 25,000 at Hillary Rallies Guest post by Joe Hoft Trump’s momentum is surging. His campaign is noticeably full of energy and the numbers prove it. Night after night Trump fills venues throughout the country setting capacity records and turning away thousands in the process. The internet is filled with videos of long lines waiting to get into Trump events and packed houses all over the country. Since entering the race in 2015 through July 2016 it’s estimated that Trump entertained 1.1 million people at his rallies. Since July (in only 2 and a half months) it’s estimated that Trump has entertained another half a million people. He has turned away another 100,000 as well. Trump campaign rally participants as of October 15, 2016 were enough to hold hands and form a continuous line from KC to DC . Trump is just crushing Hillary Clinton in rally attendance from August 1st through October 15th with 20 times the number of individuals at his events during this time (500,000 to 25,000). While Trump is filling arenas around the country, Hillary can barely fill half a high school gymnasium at hers. (Her surrogates like Tim Kaine can’t even get 50 people at an event.) It is clear that Trump’s train is moving downhill while Hillary’s train hasn’t even left the station.

“The mohawk was something that Marty and I came up with,” Robert De Niro said at the Tribeca Film Festival’s 40th anniversary screening of Taxi Driver at the Beacon Theater Thursday night. The event brought De Niro together with director Martin Scorsese, screenwriter Paul Schrader, co-stars Jodie Foster and Cybill Shepherd, and producer Michael Phillips. “A friend of his, who was in special forces at that time, would do HALO [high altitude] diving into Cambodia, or Laos, or whatever. And he showed us a picture of he and his outfit and a couple guys had mohawks, or at least one or two of them did, as I remember.” For those still wondering whether the legendary method actor took out the shears, his wicked haircut was, of course, just a wig put together by makeup effects wiz Dick Smith. (De Niro needed a full bob for his next film, The Last Tycoon.) “I remember I was in the other room and I had fallen asleep while he was working on the headpiece or whatever it is — the mohawk,” Scorsese said to De Niro. “And then I felt a tap on my shoulder, and I opened my eyes and you were there with this thing, and it was terrifying!” Jodie Foster meanwhile had a bit of a fright herself — not because she was tackling the role of a child prostitute, but because she was worried that her friends would make fun of her. Why? “The hot pants and the dumb hat and the sunglasses,” she said. “The first day I cried. Then I was absolutely mortified.” But Foster is proud of the work she did, telling Vulture earlier on the red carpet that Taxi Driver still resonates with audiences because it speaks to a bygone era in American cinema. “It was the first anti-hero film that really questioned the structure of what films were doing at that time,” she said.

“The mohawk was something that Marty and I came up with,” Robert De Niro said at the Tribeca Film Festival’s 40th anniversary screening of Taxi Driver at the Beacon Theater Thursday night. The event brought De Niro together with director Martin Scorsese, screenwriter Paul Schrader, co-stars Jodie Foster and Cybill Shepherd, and producer Michael Phillips. “A friend of his, who was in special forces at that time, would do HALO [high altitude] diving into Cambodia, or Laos, or whatever. And he showed us a picture of he and his outfit and a couple guys had mohawks, or at least one or two of them still wondering whether the legendary method actor took out the shears, his wicked haircut was, of course, just a wig put together by makeup effects wiz Dick Smith. (De Niro needed a full bob for his next film, The Last Tycoon.) “I remember I was in the other room and I had fallen asleep while he was working on the headpiece or whatever it is — the mohawk,” Scorsese said to De Niro. “And then I felt a tap on my shoulder, and I opened my eyes and you were there with this thing, and it was terrifying!” Jodie Foster meanwhile had a bit of a fright herself — not because she was tackling the role of a child prostitute, but because she was worried that her friends would make fun of her. Why? “The hot pants and the dumb hat and the sunglasses,” she said. “The first day I cried. Then I was absolutely mortified.” But Foster is proud of the work she did, telling Vulture earlier on the red carpet that Taxi Driver still resonates with audiences because it speaks to a bygone era in American cinema. “It was the first really questioned the structure of what films were doing at that time,” she said.

Get the biggest politics stories by email Subscribe Thank you for subscribing We have more newsletters Show me See our privacy notice Could not subscribe, try again later Invalid Email Eight young women are sitting round a pine wood table saying they’ve never bothered to vote because all MPs are liars, politics is boring and it doesn’t affect them anyway. They’re familiar gripes - and Labour MP Gloria de Piero is, amazingly, lapping them up. The Shadow Minister for Young People and Voter Registration asked for this, urging them to “be really honest, you’ve got to be brutal”. An hour earlier she slipped out of the fortified Westminster bubble and took a 33-minute Tube ride to east London. She’s only 11 miles from the heart of UK democracy but it feels very much further. (Image: Phil Harris/Daily Mirror) The Mirror, which is encouraging people to register to vote through our #NoVoteNoVoice campaign, has been invited join her quest to find out why Britain’s youngsters do not vote. The reasons are depressingly predictable - and put forward with raw frustration, dismay and disenchantment. “It’s a waste of five minutes even thinking about it, I would rather think about my dinner,” sighs youth worker Cassie Hull, 24. “I just don’t actually get what politicians do, I don’t understand what they’re doing,” reveals betting shop worker Emma Wynne, also 24. The youngsters taking part in this candid session are - they freely admit - woefully ill-informed. (Image: Phil Harris/Daily Mirror) It’s a fact, not a criticism – and one for which the media must also shoulder some blame. Most of these young people don’t even know how to vote, even if they wanted to, which they don’t. Some know that David Cameron is the Prime Minister and Conservative leader. They describe Labour as the party of the “working class”. But none has heard of Jeremy Corbyn , which will surely be a blow to the leader who believes this scandalously-ignored slice of the electorate will propel him to Downing Street in 2020. “People who are in politics, they understand it but for young people you have got to break it down,” pleads Cassie. Smiling stoically, Gloria asks: “So you’ve basically got no idea what we are on about?” Cassie replies: “Basically, yeah.” (Image: Phil Harris/Daily Mirror) Hearing the lack of engagement from these young people is deeply depressing. They are intelligent, articulate and polite. The issues which affect them – jobs, housing, travel costs - are familiar to Britons across the land. Teaching assistant Parisse Everiste-Clifford, 24, wants less cash spent on overseas aid. “They are trying to be heroes in other countries when charity starts at home,” she says. Nicole Mann, 21, a youth worker, wants politicians to “stop spending money we haven’t got”. (Image: Phil Harris/Daily Mirror) But, during the 45-minute seminar in Barking as guests of the Young Women's Trust and Future M.O.L.D.S, it’s clear these youngsters can’t ever imagine their issues being solved through politics. This is a vicious circle; the young people don’t vote because they say politicians don’t aim policies at them. Politicians don’t come up with youth-friendly policies because they rightly say young people don’t vote. The Tories ruthlessly targeted older voters at the election - and when 78% pensioners went to the polls compared with 43% of those aged 18 to 24, who can blame them? They would have been foolish not to. Gloria warns the youngsters: “You’re almost like a horrible politician’s dream because if you don’t vote you let them get away with murder.” Cassie has a solution that is unlikely to have much appeal in the Commons. She says: “I would like to see politicians live in our shoes rather than deciding how we live. If they lived in our shoes they wouldn't be dictating how we live.” It’s unlikely many will take up her suggestion. And despite Gloria’s brave efforts, defiant Cassie confirms she will not be casting a vote when elections are held in May.

Get the biggest politics stories by email Subscribe Thank you for subscribing We have more newsletters Show me See our privacy notice Could not subscribe, try again later Invalid Email Eight young women are sitting round a pine wood table saying they’ve never bothered to vote because all MPs are liars, politics is boring and it doesn’t affect them anyway. They’re familiar gripes - and Labour MP Gloria de Piero is, amazingly, lapping them up. The Shadow Minister for Young People and Voter Registration asked for this, urging them to “be really honest, you’ve got to be brutal”. An hour earlier she slipped out of the fortified Westminster bubble and took a 33-minute Tube ride to east London. She’s only 11 miles from the heart of UK democracy but it feels very much further. (Image: Phil Harris/Daily Mirror) The Mirror, which is encouraging people to register to vote through our #NoVoteNoVoice campaign, has been invited join her quest to find out why Britain’s youngsters do not vote. The reasons are depressingly predictable - and put forward with raw frustration, dismay and disenchantment. “It’s a waste of five minutes even thinking about it, I would rather think about my dinner,” sighs youth worker Cassie Hull, 24. “I just don’t actually get what politicians do, I don’t understand what they’re doing,” reveals betting shop worker Emma Wynne, also 24. The youngsters taking part in this candid session are - they freely admit - woefully ill-informed. (Image: Phil Harris/Daily Mirror) It’s a fact, not a criticism – and one for which the media must also shoulder some blame. Most of these young people don’t even know how to vote, even if they wanted to, which they don’t. Some know that David Cameron is the Prime Minister and Conservative leader. They describe Labour as the party of the “working class”. But none has heard of Jeremy Corbyn , which will surely be a blow to the leader who believes this scandalously-ignored�People who are in politics, they understand it but for young people you have got to break it down,” pleads Cassie. Smiling stoically, Gloria asks: “So you’ve basically got no idea what we are on about?” Cassie replies: “Basically, yeah.” (Image: Phil Harris/Daily Mirror) Hearing the lack of engagement from these young people is deeply depressing. They are intelligent, articulate and polite. The issues which affect them – jobs, housing, travel costs - are familiar to Britons across the land. Teaching assistant Parisse Everiste-Clifford, 24, wants less cash spent on overseas aid. “They are trying to be heroes in other countries when charity starts at home,” she says. Nicole Mann, 21, a youth worker, wants politicians to “stop spending money we haven’t got”. (Image: Phil Harris/Daily Mirror) But, during the 45-minute seminar in Barking as guests of the Young Women's Trust and Future M.O.L.D.S, it’s clear these youngsters can’t ever imagine their issues being solved through politics. This is a vicious circle; the young people don’t vote because they say politicians don’t aim policies at them. Politicians don’t come up with youth-friendly policies because they rightly say young people don’t vote% pensioners went to the polls compared with 43% of those aged 18 to 24, who can blame them? They would have been foolish not to. Gloria warns the youngsters: “You’re almost like a horrible politician’s dream because if you don’t vote you let them get away with murder.” Cassie has a solution that is unlikely to have much appeal in the Commons. She says: “I would like to see politicians live in our shoes rather than deciding how we live. If they lived in our shoes they wouldn't be dictating how we live.” It’s unlikely many will take up her suggestion. And despite Gloria’s brave efforts, defiant Cassie confirms she will not be casting a vote when elections are held in May.
Email Share +1 59 Shares Reports indicate a gay man was killed this week at a beachfront hotel in the Dominican Republic. Yimbert Feliz of Voluntariado GLBT Dominicano, a Dominican LGBT advocacy group, wrote on his Facebook page that police found Pego Alberto Jiménez de la Cruz’s body at the Grand Bahia Principe Bávaro near the city Punta Cana on Wednesday. Jiménez, 41, lived in Yásica Arriba in the province of Puerto Plata. Jiménez’s body reportedly showed signs that he had been strangled to death. Media reports also indicate that police have speculated a “suspected lover” who was jealous killed Jiménez. Punta Cana is roughly 125 miles east of the Dominican capital of Santo Domingo. Officials urged to ‘respect’ LGBT Dominicans’ rights Feliz told the Washington Blade that Jiménez’s murder is the latest in a series of events that have sparked concern among the local LGBT community. He said officers with the Dominican National Police in September arrested more than a dozen transgender sex workers and their clients in the city of La Romana. Feliz told the Blade the arrests took place after Evangelical churches complained they were “disturbing public order.” Casa de Campo, an exclusive resort that is popular with celebrities, is located a few miles east of La Romana. Gay U.S. Ambassador to the Dominican Republic James “Wally” Brewster is among those who criticized the Oct. 4 arrest of more than a dozen young people who were gathered in a Santo Domingo park that is popular with LGBT Dominicans. Feliz told the Blade that his group in 2015 documented at least five cases of police mistreating trans women. He said authorities concluded a trans woman who was stabbed and run over by a car was the victim of a car accident. “We once again call upon the Attorney General (Jean Alain Rodríguez) and the National Police to respect the fundamental and constitutional rights of GLBT people,” said Voluntariado GLBT Dominicano in a statement it released after authorities found Jiménez’s body.

Feliz told the Blade that his group in 2015 documented at least five a trans woman who was stabbed and run over by a car was the victim of a car accident. “We once again call upon the Attorney General (Jean Alain Rodríguez) and the National Police to respect the fundamental and constitutional rights of GLBT people,” said Voluntariado GLBT Dominicano in a statement it released after authorities found Jiménez’s body.
Just a few days after dropping Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final in heartbreaking fashion to the Los Angeles Kings, the New York Rangers appear set to move on in trying to get back to playing for the championship. The Boston Globe and New York Post both report the Rangers will utilize their one remaining amnesty for the contract of Brad Richards. Richards has six years remaining on his contract that pays him $6.7 million a year, but played a reserve role in the Rangers' playoff run, scoring five goals and seven assists while averaging 17 minutes on the ice during the postseason. MORE: Kings win Stanley Cup with Game 5 thriller | 'Black Aces' practice squad celebrates on ice | Photos: Stanley Cup Final Larry Brooks of the Post called it a "fait accompli" that Richards has played his last game for the Rangers, and the Globe's Fluto Shinzawa said that the Rangers would be right to use their amnesty on Richards due to his diminishing skills. "When the Rangers needed Richards the most, the de facto captain didn’t deliver," Shinzawa wrote, saying that Richards' legs are clearly fading. "Through the first four games of the Stanley Cup Final, Richards submitted zeros across the board: no goals, no assists, no points." But there is still that financial incentive and it's pretty significant. According to Shinzawa, the Rangers owe Richards $1 million annually for the last three years of his contract. If Richards were to retire after the 2017-2018 season, Shinzawa reports that the Rangers would have about $5.7 million against the cap in dead money. No matter what player, franchise, or sport, that's a lot of money. With all of that, the curtain is almost certainly closing on Richards' career in New York. (via thescore.com)

At least five flights from Oakland were grounded Wednesday following a host of missed Southwest inspections. Bob Redell reports. (Published Wednesday, Feb. 25, 2015) Southwest Airlines has grounded a handful of flights at Oakland International because it failed to inspect its airplanes in a timely manner. Ten flights were canceled on Wednesday morning, though the airport can only confirm that five are related to the inspections. San Francisco International Airport has seen two cancellations but it’s not clear whether those are related. All Southwest flights are on time at Norm Mineta San Jose International Airport. Southwest grounded 128 planes — about one-fifth of its fleet — on Tuesday after discovering the missed inspections. Federal officials have agreed to let Southwest Airlines Co. keep flying planes that missed an inspection of a backup rudder system if the planes are checked in the next five days. Southwest spokeswoman Brandy King said the airline canceled about 80 flights Tuesday and expected to cancel up to 19 more on Wednesday while some inspections are done. She said the airline expected to finish "a good portion" of the inspections by Wednesday morning. The missed inspections involved hydraulic systems used to control the rudder if the main system fails. King said that after discovering the lapse, Southwest immediately notified federal safety regulators, took the planes out of service and began checking them. Late Tuesday night, the Federal Aviation Administration agreed to let the airline resume flying the planes while inspections are done, likely during overnight hours. FAA spokesman Lynn Lunsford confirmed that the agency approved the plan after talking with Southwest and Boeing, the manufacturer of the planes. The missed inspections were first reported by The Wall Street Journal. Dallas-based Southwest is the nation's fourth-biggest airline. It has 665 jets, all of which are some version of the Boeing 737. Tuesday's groundings involved nearly one-third of its 737-700 models, which seat 137 or 143 passengers, depending on the layout. Southwest was fined in 2009 for failing to inspect dozens of planes for cracks in the fuselage. Southwest agreed to pay $7.5 million to settle with the FAA, which had sought a $10.2 million penalty. In 2011, the FAA ordered extensive inspections of some of Southwest's older 737s after a 5-foot hole burst open in one plane in mid-flight, forcing an emergency landing at a military base in Arizona.

The banana is for scale. When I originally built the Raspberry Pi Dramble 6-node Pi cluster in 2014 (for testing Ansible with bare metal hardware on the cheap), I compiled all the code, notes, etc. into a GitHub repository. In 2015, I decided to take it a step further, and I started hosting www.pidramble.com on the cluster, in my basement office! Every time I've shared the cluster with others during presentations or at events like DrupalCon, someone asks how it's built. While I do have almost all my notes and instructions for building the entire cluster on the Pi Dramble Wiki, a step-by-step visual guide is better. Therefore, I'm posting a series of videos, "Let's Build a Raspberry Pi Cluster", to my YouTube channel. The first video goes over hardware parts and setup: The second goes over microSD card setup and Raspbian OS configuration: These videos also serve as background material for those attending my upcoming talks on Drupal 8 and the Raspberry Pi: I'll post again once I've wrapped up the video series (it will likely be either 5 or 6 parts total). What do you think of the videos? Should I consider making more of this kind of video, or ditch the idea and stick to writing?

Islamic State’s offensive on the Iraqi capital intensified as the jihadist fighters advanced as far as Abu Ghraib, a suburb only 8 miles away from Baghdad’s international airport. The outer suburb of Abu Ghraib is also the site of the infamous prison the US military used to humiliate and torture Iraqi detainees. There are reports by the Iraqi military that the militants are in possession of MANPAD anti-aircraft missiles. The short-range, shoulder-fired missiles can shoot down airplanes within a range of 15,000 feet. The Iraqi military, aided by US military personnel, have so far failed in foiling the advance toward Baghdad of the Islamic State militia (also known as ISIS, or ISIL), which has expanded its control of huge swathes of Iraq and Syria despite the increase in US-led airstrikes. A total of 60,000 Iraqi soldiers are assigned to defend the capital, alongside 12 teams of American advisors, an Iraqi officer told CBS News. Meanwhile, undercover IS militants active within Baghdad are setting off bombs and carrying out attacks. Swift advances have also been by the jihadist militia in Anbar, where Iraqi officials have made an open plea for military aid, warning the city will soon fall to IS. The situation in Anbar, a town due west of Baghdad, is “fragile” a US official told AFP. IS has seized army bases in Anbar province, and has been shelling the provincial capital, Ramadi, 75 miles (120 kilometers) from Baghdad. CNN reported that Iraqi troops in Anbar are in danger of being bottlenecked, citing a senior US defense official. Breaking: #Iraq troops fighting #ISIS in #Anbar W. of Baghdad "up against wall" & "in danger of being cut off" - Def. Official tells me — Jim Sciutto (@jimsciutto) October 10, 2014 "We do see ISIL continue to make gains in Anbar province and [are] mindful of how Anbar relates to the security of Baghdad," another senior US defense official said. Anbar province is home to Iraq's second biggest dam at Haditha, a major source of water and electrical power. The dam is currently controlled by Iraqi forces, and US airstrikes have targeted IS forces in the area . It has been stated both by the US and Iraq that preventing IS from capturing the area is a key objective, as is holding Baghdad. In Syria, IS forces are vying for control of Kobani, which they now control 40 percent. Kobani is on the Syria-Turkish border and has a Kurdish majority. UN envoy Staffan de Mistura warned Friday that if Kobani falls to ISIS, civilians there would “most likely be massacred.” In June, ISIS insurgents quickly captured Iraq’s second-biggest city, Mosul, north of Baghdad. When they took the city, they seized a large amount of military US equipment originally given to the Iraqi army.

Islamic State’s offensive on the Iraqi capital intensified as the jihadist fighters advanced as far as Abu Ghraib, a suburb only 8 miles away from Baghdad’s international airport. The outer suburb of Abu Ghraib is also the site of the infamous prison the US military used to humiliate and torture Iraqi detainees. There are reports by the Iraqi military that the militants are in possession of MANPAD anti-aircraft missiles. The short-range, shoulder-fired missiles can shoot down airplanes within a range of 15,000 feet. The Iraqi military, aided by US military personnel, have so far failed in foiling the advance toward Baghdad of the Islamic State militia (also known as ISIS, or ISIL), which has expanded its control of huge swathes of Iraq and Syria despite the increase in US-led airstrikes. A total of 60,000 Iraqi soldiers are assigned to defend the capital, alongside 12 teams of American advisors, an Iraqi officer told CBS News. Meanwhile, undercover IS militants active within Baghdad are setting off bombs and carrying out attacks. Swift advances have also been by the jihadist militia in Anbar, where Iraqi officials have made an open plea for military aid, warning the city will soon fall to IS. The situation in Anbar, a town due west of Baghdad, is “fragile” a US official told AFP. IS has seized army bases in Anbar province, and has been shelling the provincial capital, Ramadi, 75 miles (120 kilometers) from Baghdad. CNN reported that Iraqi troops in Anbar are in danger of being bottlenecked, citing a senior US defense official. Breaking: #Iraq troops fighting #ISIS in #Anbar W. of Baghdad "up against wall" & "in danger of being cut off" - Def. Official tells me — Jim Sciutto (@jimsciutto) October 10, 2014 "We do see ISIL continue to make gains in Anbar province and [are] mindful of how Anbar relates to the security of Baghdad," another senior US defense official said. Anbar province is home to Iraq's second biggest dam at Haditha, a major source of water and electrical power. The dam is currently controlled by Iraqi forces, and US airstrikes have targeted IS forces in the area . It has been stated both by the US and Iraq that preventing IS from capturing the as they now control 40 percent. Kobani is on the Syria-Turkish border and has a Kurdish majority. UN envoy Staffan de Mistura warned Friday that if Kobani falls to ISIS, civilians there would “most likely be massacred.” In June, ISIS insurgents quickly captured Iraq’s second-biggest city, Mosul, north of Baghdad. When they took the city, they seized a large amount of military US equipment originally given to the Iraqi army.
Written by Greg Otto The Federal Election Commission has opened its array of campaign finance data through its first application programming interface, allowing developers, academics, journalists and other data wonks to easily search through 40 years of data. Created with the help of the General Services Administration’s 18F, the API gives the public the ability to search through political candidate records, find out information related to fundraising groups, and look up total spending and fundraising through a number of election cycles. While the FEC has always released a wealth of information through its Campaign Finance Disclosure Portal, the majority of that data is released in bulk. With an API, users can customize their searches to better find the relevant data they are looking for. “With that API, searching for candidates and committees will be easier and more interactive,” wrote Lindsay Young, an innovation specialist at 18F, in a blog post. “Information is organized around concepts like candidates, which are more welcoming than navigating buckets of information based on forms.” The API is part of a move by the FEC to modernize its digital presence. Along with the API, Young wrote the commission will also be redesigning its website and launching an app. Young said improvements will be coming to the API, including ways to search for individual contributions and more granular spending data. Those interested in using the API can do so after signing up for a data.gov API key. Additionally, the watchdog group Sunlight Foundation published a guide for using the API on its website.

Foveated Real-Time Ray Tracing for Virtual Reality Headset Masahiro Fujita (1) and Takahiro Harada (2) 1) Light Transport Entertainment Research 2) Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. Technical memo(May 2014) From left: (a) Our method with 6.7M triangles Rungholt scene. 55K shaded samples. Inset picture was taken through the lens of the Oculus Rift HMD. (b) Naiive ray tracing. 1M shaded samples. Visual quality in our method is equivalent to the one produced by the na ̈ıve method when seen through the HMD. (c) Our foveated sampling pattern and k-NN filtering method. Each cell corresponds to a sampling point. (d) Other scenes. Real-time rendering over 60 fps is achieved with the OpenCL(TM) ray tracer, running on four Radeon(TM) R9 290X GPUs. Emerging commodity high frame rate, wide angle head mounted display(HMD) VR Headsets, especially the Oculus Rift, opens the possibility of providing immersive virtual reality experience into widespread consumers. Fast, low latency, smooth and realistic rendering methods are vital for such a VR device. We invented a new foveated rendering technique based on ray tracing. By nature, ray tracing allows flexible sampling control over the image and is extremely suitable for foveated rendering. Ray tracing also has a unified way to produce high quality shadows, reflection, etc which are important factors for immersive VR experiences. Abstract (PDF) Poster (PDF)

On Friday, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh responded to the Wall Street Journal which criticized House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) for bowing to the GOP’s talk radio constituency when he abandoned a recent push for immigration reform. Limbaugh said that President Barack Obama cannot be trusted to enforce border control provisions of an immigration reform bill and there is no mechanism available to Republicans to hold him accountable if he failed to perform his duty. “You can’t impeach the first black president,” he said. Limbaugh warned his audience on Friday that a “constitutional crisis” could be imminent. He cited as evidence for this impending crisis the fact that some Democratic members of Congress are presently drafting executive orders for Obama to sign. “They are totally willing to grant dictatorial powers to one of their own,” the talk radio host said. “He’s not obeying the laws we have now,” Limbaugh said. “What’s the next logical step in a case like this?” RELATED: Rush Limbaugh Chides Fox News for Defending Christie “You can’t impeach the first black president,” Limbaugh observed. “No matter how corrupt or how lawless.” He added that the president has embraced “lawlessness” in his lack of enforcement of the provisions of the Affordable Care Act. That precedent, he said, should be enough for conservatives to understand that Obama cannot be trusted to enforce immigration reform.

On Friday, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh responded to the Wall Street Journal which criticized House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) for bowing to the GOP’s talk radio constituency when he abandoned a recent push for immigration reform. Limbaugh said that President Barack Obama cannot be trusted to enforce border control provisions of an immigration reform bill and there is no mechanism available to Republicans to hold him accountable if he failed to perform his duty. “You can’t impeach the first black president,” he said. Limbaugh warned his audience on Friday that a “constitutional crisis” could be imminent. He cited as evidence for this impending crisis the fact that some Democratic members of Congress are presently drafting executive orders for Obama to sign. “They are totally willing to grant dictatorial powers to one of their own,” the talk radio host said. “He’s not obeying the laws we have now,” Limbaugh said. “What’s the next logical step in a case like this?” RELATED: Rush Limbaugh Chides Fox News for Defending Christie “You can’ corrupt or how lawless.” He added that the president has embraced “lawlessness” in his lack of enforcement of the provisions of the Affordable Care Act. That precedent, he said, should be enough for conservatives to understand that Obama cannot be trusted to enforce immigration reform.
