There are gaps in the Interstate Highway system, where the roadway carrying an Interstate shield does not conform to the standards set by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the body that sets the regulations for the Interstate Highway System. For the most part, the Interstate Highway System in the United States is a connected system, with most freeways completed; however, some Interstates still have gaps. These gaps can be due to unconnected segments of the same route or from failure of the road to fully conform to Interstate standards by including such things as at-grade crossings, traffic lights, undivided or narrow freeways, or movable bridges (lift bridges and drawbridges). This article deals with gaps that existed after 1992, as such examples were far more numerous during construction of the Interstate Highway System and the upgrading of existing roads to meet these standards, which did not occur everywhere at the same time. Temporary gaps, such as lane closures that reduce traffic to one lane and reduce speed limits, are also excluded.
True gaps [ edit ]
True gaps are where multiple disjoint sections of road have the same Interstate highway number and can reasonably be considered part of "one highway" in theory, based on the directness of connections via other highways, or based on future plans to fill in the gap in the Interstate, or simply based on the shortness of the gap. The sections are either not physically connected at all, or they are connected but the connection is not signed as part of the highway. This list does not include different highways that share the same number, such as the two different I-76s, I-84s, I-86s, I-87s, and I-88s, which were always intended as distinct highways and were never intended as a contiguous route.
Interstate 26 [ edit ]
In North Carolina, Interstate 26 has a gap in Asheville. This is because not all of the parts in the gap were built to interstate standards. Right now, Interstate 26 is designated as Future I-26, US 19, and US 23. Construction on building this gap to Interstate Standards will begin in 2020. [2]
Interstate 49 [ edit ]
Interstate 49 (I-49) currently has four sections: the original alignment from I-10 in Lafayette to I-20 in Shreveport, one from Louisiana Highway 1 near Shreveport to Texarkana; the third section from I-40 near Alma, to US 71 south of Bella Vista, replacing most of I-540 and Arkansas Highway 549; and the last section from Pineville, to Kansas City, Missouri. A short, isolated section of I-49 exists in Bella Vista, Arkansas as Arkansas Highway 549. There is also a short section southeast of Fort Smith that is several miles long. These gaps are expected to be eventually closed.
Interstate 69 [ edit ]
I-69 has seven sections: the original alignment travels from Indianapolis, Indiana, to Port Huron, Michigan. On October 2, 2006, a segment of I-69 opened in Tunica and DeSoto counties in Mississippi; this segment continues to Memphis, Tennessee, in the north. Another section exists from near Evansville, Indiana, to Martinsville, Indiana; this section is expected to be connected to the original I-69 in Indianapolis in the next decade. In stages from 2011 to 2018, sections of the Purchase Parkway, I-24, the Wendell H. Ford Western Kentucky Parkway, and the Pennyrile Parkway from Mayfield, Kentucky to Henderson, Kentucky became signed as I-69. In 2012, a portion of U.S. Highway 59 (US 59) between Houston and Cleveland, Texas, became part of I-69.[3] On February 28, 2013, a portion of US 59 between Houston and Rosenberg, Texas, became part of I-69.[4] This gap was bridged by the signing of the portion between the two segments of US 59 as I-69 in March 2015.[5]
Interstate 74 [ edit ]
I-74 currently has five sections,[6] the original segment heading northwest from Cincinnati, Ohio, to Davenport, Iowa; one from the Virginia–North Carolina line along I-77 south and east to a point southeast of Mount Airy, North Carolina; one traveling concurrently with US 311 around High Point connecting with I-85, and reaching I-73, where the two are concurrent until Ellerbe; and from west of Laurinburg to south of Lumberton, North Carolina, at I-95. North Carolina is currently working on connecting all its sections of I-74, though there are no plans to connect the southeastern extension of I-74 to Cincinnati for the foreseeable future.
Interstate 86 [ edit ]
The eastern I-86 currently has two sections. One travels for 197 miles (317 km) from I-90 in North East, Pennsylvania, (which is a town in the northwestern part of the state) to exit 61 in Waverly, New York. The second section is a 9.9-mile (15.9 km) stretch outside of Binghamton traveling from I-81 in Kirkwood to exit 79 in Windsor. The gap is currently signed as Future 86. I-86 will eventually travel from North East, Pennsylvania, to the New York State Thruway (I-87) near Harriman, New York. All the designated sections and gaps in New York are part of New York State Route 17.
Interstate 99 [ edit ]
I-99 currently has two sections: one from the Pennsylvania Turnpike to just south of I-80, concurrent with US 220, and one from the Pennsylvania–New York state line north to I-86 in Corning, New York, concurrent with US 15. Much of the intervening route, including the entire US 15 section between I-180 in Williamsport and the New York state line, has been constructed to freeway standards but as of yet is not signed as part of I-99.
The signing of the intervening route as I-99 will be completed when the route is upgraded to Interstate standards, connecting the two segments of I-99.
Freeway gaps [ edit ]
Freeway gaps occur where the Interstate is signed as a continuous route, but part of it, if not all of it, is not up to freeway standards. This includes drawbridges where traffic on the Interstate can be stopped for vessels. This does not include facilities such as tollbooths, toll plazas, agricultural inspection stations, or border stations.
At-grade intersections and traffic lights [ edit ]
Several Interstates in rural areas of the U.S. have at-grade intersections (including median breaks) with minor farm access roads. This is usually due to the lack of an old highway; the need to provide access to property that was accessed via the road prior to its upgrade to an Interstate; and the high cost to construct an interchange for the small amount of traffic that would use such a connection or to build a frontage road parallel to the freeway to the nearest interchange. Other at-grade intersections are restricted to municipal service vehicles, of which make it easier for maintenance to be done in places like in the mountains as well as tollways.
Undivided and narrow freeways [ edit ]
Two-lane stretch of I-93 through Franconia Notch in New Hampshire
Two-lane stretch of I-81 on the Thousand Islands Bridge crossing part of the Saint Lawrence River
The Mackinac Bridge, which carries I-75, has no hard shoulders, and only has a 4-inch-tall (10 cm) divider between the opposing directions
This section addresses two-lane freeways and other narrow or undivided freeway sections of the Interstate, excepting instances of continuing routes using one-lane ramps and merge leads. Narrow gaps between opposing directions with jersey barriers taller than four feet (1.2 m) are excluded from this section; therefore the separation criteria is really either a 4-foot-tall (1.2 m) wall, or a 100-foot-wide (30 m) median, whichever is greater.
Movable bridges [ edit ]
By Interstate standard, all bridges on the Interstate system must be fixed as to not interrupt the flow of traffic. Several bridges on the system, however, are movable:
Freeway-to-freeway crosspaths without direct connection [ edit ]
Connection gaps [ edit ]
Auxiliary Interstates (also known as three-digit Interstates) are intended to connect to their parent either directly or via a same-parented Interstate (like I-280 in California being connected to I-80 via I-680). Often, these connection gaps occur to eliminate concurrencies between other three-digit routes. Freeway gaps (signed or unsigned) that officially connect auxiliary routes to the parent are excluded.
Current day examples [ edit ]
Historical gaps [ edit ]
Interstate 95 [ edit ]
Until September 2018, I-95 was discontinuous in New Jersey near Trenton. Coming north from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, I-95 looped around the north side of Trenton and ended at US 1 in Lawrence Township, New Jersey, where it became I-295, which heads back south toward southern New Jersey. The other section of I-95 began on the Pennsylvania Turnpike at the Pennsylvania–New Jersey state line, headed east into New Jersey along a spur of the New Jersey Turnpike, then headed north along the New Jersey Turnpike mainline as it does today. Originally I-95 was planned to have left the alignment north of Trenton and headed northeast to I-287 and travel east along I-287 to exit 10 on the Turnpike, but this segment known as the Somerset Freeway was never built. Construction on an interchange to remove the gap began in 2010. The first phase, completed in late 2018, connected the southern alignment with the Pennsylvania Turnpike, and I-95 was rerouted onto the turnpike, with the part north of that interchange—up to US 1—becoming an extension of I-295.[24] With the completion of this interchange, I-95 is now a continuous highway from Florida to Maine.

11/29/20 Weekly Mentor Update - Intentional Mentoring Madison Intentional Mentoring Madison WI Volunteer Donate Newsletter Weekly Updates About Contact 11/29/20 Weekly Mentor Update Giving Tuesday is just 2 days away! It has been such a joy to see stories, quotes and pictures of/from all of you on our social media platforms over the last 2 weeks! The amazing work that you do with mentees is what makes our program successful and we’re hopeful that our Giving Tuesday campaign has shown our community just how valuable your efforts are. Please help to spread the word and let everyone know that we’d love their support on Giving Tuesday! @intentionalmentoringmadison (Instagram, Twitter) and Intentional Mentoring Inc (Facebook) *Just a friendly reminder – please be mindful of Dane County’s face mask order & COVID precautions mandates. Don’t forget to follow us and tag us on social media! Look for IntentionalMentoringMadison on FB, Instagram and Twitter! Challenge for the week: For November, the challenges will center around the theme of Giving Thanks. So far in November you’ve been challenged to write notes of appreciation, say “thank you,” shout-out your gratitude and to let your mentee know you’re grateful for them. This week’s challenge is to work with your mentee to become the person that someone else is thankful for. Who do you and your mentee have in your lives that you can identify as someone who could use your help, love or support? Once you have identified them, figure out what specific need they have and then make a plan to fulfill it, thereby being the person someone is thankful for! BONUS CHALLENGE: There are numerous studies touting the benefits of practicing gratitude. Therefore, not wanting to ignore the experts and in keeping with the theme for the month, the bonus challenge for November is to give thanks daily. You might even try sending your mentee a text each day telling them what you’re thankful for that day and then asking them to share what they’re thankful for that day. Or, maybe you and your mentee start daily gratitude journals and hold each other accountable to filling them out daily. Find a way to give thanks and be grateful on a daily basis! TIP of the WEEK: Students who live in poverty are less likely to have growth mindsets. Instead, they have what researchers call a “fixed mindset,” and this correlates with lower test scores than their peers who do not live in poverty. However, students who live in poverty and do have a growth mindset, score equally as well as their wealthy peers. So, does your mentee have a growth or fixed mindset? Tune into how they talk about learning and help encourage a new or expanding growth mindset in them! ~Taken from www.nea.org Impact of Poverty on Students. All in Their Mind? 📸We love seeing photos of you and your mentee spending time together! Please share them with us via your coach or using the hashtag #intentionalmentoringmadison 📸 Mentor Coaching Group Meeting Dates: MARILYN: Tuesday, November 24th 7:00 – 8:00 p.m. marilyn@intentionalmentoringmadison.org VAL: Tuesday, November 9th 5:30 – 6:30 p.m. val@intentionalmentoringmadison.org ASHLEY: Scheduled Individually for now ashley@intentionalmentoringmadison.org RYAN: Monday, November 2nd 5:30 – 6:30 p.m. Ryan@intentionalmentoringmadison.org Upcoming Events to Note FREE Virtual Performing Arts events!

Primarul Timişoarei a afirmat că, indiferent de talentul artistic manifestat de unii grafferi, este nepermis ca aceştia să îşi bată joc de patrimoniul oraşului.
„O să punem camere video în oraş. Avem un proiect care este în derulare, în sensul că deja e lansată licitaţia. Chiar a fost blocată la un moment dat şi am luat-o de la capăt. Echipăm principalele zone din oraş cu camere de supraveghere pentru a asigura, pe de o parte, securitatea oamenilor, pe de altă parte, securitatea bunurilor. Nu putem sta nepăsători să vedem cum indivizi prost crescuţi, unii poate chiar cu probleme psihice – nu pot să spun altfel – îşi bat joc de patrimoniul oraşului. Sunt nenumărate clădiri în oraş care sunt mâzgălite în fel şi chip. Este nepermis să faci aşa ceva, chiar dacă ai avea talent artistic”, a afirmat Robu.
În opinia primarului Timişoarei, aceştia ar trebui să îşi manifeste chemarea artistică într-un mod organizat şi de aceea s-a oferit să le dea în folosinţă un zid care să fie acoperit de creaţiile grafferilor.
„Nu este permis să îţi manifeşti talentul pe o clădire publică sau privată. Trebuie să faci lucrul acesta în altă parte. Eu am şi venit în sensul acesta cu o ofertă: dacă există tineri sau oameni de orice vârstă care vor să îşi manifeste talentul acesta de a picta, de a face graffiti şi nu au unde, să ne spună şi căutăm un loc şi îl oferim. Şi îl zugrăvim periodic, o să avem un zid undeva pe care periodic îl vom zugrăvi, să ştergem ce s-a făcut, şi le dăm posibilitatea să se manifeste cu alte creaţii. Dar este inadmisibil să fie mâzgălite clădirile oraşului. Cred că niciunde nu am văzut aşa ceva, în alte oraşe poate în zone mai lăturalnice. Dar în Timişoara sunt peste tot! În zona centrală, absolut peste tot există mâzgăleli, există mâzgăleli pe bănci, peste tot”, a mai spus Robu.
Primarul şi-a arătat nemulţumirea şi faţă de poliţişti, care nu au fost în stare să prindă în flagrant, până acum, niciun graffer, deoarece aceştia din urmă sunt organizaţi.
„Nu este permis aşa ceva! Pentru ce? Pentru că un număr mic de oameni – pentru că sunt extrem de puţini – nu pot fi prinşi! Când vom avea camere video, vor fi şi prinşi. Dar, deocamdată, Poliţia n-a fost în stare să prindă pe niciunul, pentru că ce fac: la anumite ore din noapte, vin organizaţi, unii stau la pândă şi văd când au trecut poliţiştii în zonă, şi rapid, cu şabloane şi spray, acţionează”, a concluzionat Robu. | positive |
Take everything you’ve ever learned – all the crazy experiences
and lessons – and place it all in a box labeled “Thank you.”
What has life taught you? Think about all the things you would love to tell yourself if you could travel back in time to give your younger self some advice about life.
This is what our sister site, Everyday Life Lessons, is all about. Here’s a fresh sample of our favorite life lessons that were recently published on the site:
What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. In life, you usually get what you ask for, but it rarely comes in the package you think it’s supposed to come in. Never let one bad day make you feel like you have a bad life. Just because today is a terrible day doesn’t mean tomorrow won’t be the best day of your life. You just got to get there. Tell the truth, or eventually someone will tell it for you. Read The Four Agreements . A mistake is an accident. Cheating and lying are not mistakes. They are intentional choices. Sometimes the person you want most is the person you’re better off without. Some people cannot stand that you’re moving on with your life, and so they will try to drag your past to catch up with you. Do not help them by acknowledging their behavior. Keep moving forward. Surround yourself with positive people who are going to push you toward greatness. Eliminate those who are trying to keep you from it. Don’t let something that doesn’t matter cause you to lose something that does. Sometimes people aren’t who they seem to be, and sometimes people are so much more than you originally thought. Loving someone isn’t just about saying it every day, it’s showing it every day in every way. Maturity is not when we start speaking about big things, it’s when we start understanding the small things. Of all the things that can be stolen from you – your possessions, your youth, your health, your words, your rights – what no one can ever take from you is your freedom to choose what you will believe in, and who and what your heart will love. When you can forgive yourself and others and stop the imprisonment, you’re creating the love of your life. Not forgiving is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. Age wrinkles the body. Quitting on your dreams wrinkles the soul. The past can’t hurt you anymore – not unless you let it. Holding on to the unchangeable past is a waste of energy, and serves no purpose in creating a better future. Sometimes you’ve got to emotionally let go of the things that once meant a lot to you, so you can move beyond the past and the pain it brings you, and open the next chapter in your life. The path to our destination is not always a straight one. We go down the wrong one, we get lost, and we turn back. But maybe it doesn’t matter which road we embark on. Maybe what matters is that we embark. It doesn’t matter if you’ve failed or if you’ve been beaten. All that matters is that you learn something, get back up, and try again. Because winning is a good feeling, but winning when nobody else thought you could is an awesome feeling. Knowing yourself is one thing, but truly believing and living as yourself is another. With so much social conditioning in our society, we sometimes forget who we are. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. You can grow stronger from the pain if you don’t let it destroy you. Tell the negativity committee that meets inside your head to sit down and shut up. The worst person to be around is the one who complains about everything and appreciates nothing. Avoid these people at all costs. Live in such a way that if someone decided to speak badly of you, no one would believe it. If you love someone, tell them. For hearts are often broken by words left unspoken. Life is shorter than it often seems. Sometimes we are only given a few minutes to be with the ones we love, and hundreds of hours to spend thinking of them. Cherish the moments you have with your friends and family, because in one single second they can be taken away from you forever. Things change, but the sun always rises the next day. The bad news: nothing is permanent. The good news: nothing is permanent. It’s your road, and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you. We often accept the love we think we deserve. If someone can’t accept you at your worst, they don’t deserve you at your best. Without communication there is no relationship; without respect there is no love; without trust there’s no reason to continue. If you leave someone at least tell them why, because knowing you’re not worth an explanation is even more painful than being abandoned. Speak when you are very angry, and you’ll make the best speech you’ll ever regret. Choose your words carefully – they can’t be taken back once you give them away. Harsh words are like bullets – they can leave deep wounds. And most of the time saying “sorry” is not enough to heal the wounds you leave. Never make a big decision when you’re angry, and never make a big promise when you’re overjoyed. It makes no sense to be second in someone’s life when you know you’re good enough to be first in someone else’s. Take all the time you need to heal emotionally. Moving on doesn’t take a day; it takes lots of little steps to be able to break free of your broken self. There is a difference between giving up and knowing when you have had enough. Sometimes a break from your routine is the very thing you need. When you find yourself cocooned in isolation and despair and cannot find your way out of the darkness, remember that this is similar to the place where caterpillars go to grow their wings. Don’t count the number of friends you have; count the number of friends you can count on. Sometimes, the people who are thousands of miles away from you, can make you feel better than people right beside you. That’s a sign of love and true friendship. There are times when family are like strangers, and strangers are like family. Life is not about making others happy. Life is about sharing your happiness with others. When someone tells you, “You’ve changed,” it might simply be because you’ve stopped living your life their way. If you’re lucky enough to have something that makes you different from everybody else, don’t ever change. Know you worth! When you give yourself to someone who doesn’t respect you, you surrender pieces of your soul that you’ll never get back. Imperfections are important, and so are mistakes. You get to be good by learning from your mistakes and you get to be real by being imperfect. The best way to gain self-confidence is to do what you are afraid to do. The mind is like a parachute. It doesn’t work unless it’s open. The difference between who you are and who you want to be, is what you do. If you really want to know where your destiny lies, look at where you apply your time. You are where you are right now because of the actions you’ve taken, or maybe the inaction you’ve taken. Be sure to taste your own words before you spit them out. Let the constant growth and improvement in your own life keep you so busy that you have no time left to criticize others. When you try to control everything, you enjoy nothing. Go for long walks. Indulge in great conversations. Question your assumptions. Love yourself. Pay attention to the moment. Be a little crazy. Count your blessings. Let go for a little while and just be. Just as we cannot see that a seed has taken root until it breaks through the surface, we cannot always see our own growth happening until it does the same. Don’t ever change just to impress someone. Change because it makes you a better person and leads you to a better future. Feelings are like waves in the ocean; we can’t stop them from coming, but we can choose which ones to surf. Being happy doesn’t always make us grateful, but being grateful will always make us happy. Smile every chance you get; not because life has been easy, perfect, or exactly as you had anticipated, but because you choose to be happy and grateful for all the good things you do have and all the problems you know you don’t have. It’s nice to have money and the things that money can buy, but it’s also important to make sure you haven’t lost track of the things that money can’t buy. If you’re finding it hard to be grateful for anything, sit down close your eyes and take a long slow breath and be grateful for oxygen. Every breath you take is in sync with someone’s last. Life is like a rainbow, you need both the sun and the rain to make its colors appear. It’s better to be alone with dignity than in a relationship that requires you to sacrifice your self-respect. Inner peace begins the moment you choose not to allow another person or event to control your emotions. Moving on can mean that you’re making a choice to be happy rather than hurt. It doesn’t mean that you’re giving up. Read Stumbling on Happiness . Decide to smile and make the best of it; it’s good for your health. Don’t let loneliness drive you back into the arms of someone you know you don’t belong with. Love is not about sex, going on fancy dates, or showing off. It’s about being with a person who makes you happy in a way nobody else can. You don’t need a perfect one. You just need someone who you can trust – who shows you that you’re the only one. There are people in your life whom you knowingly inspire simply by being you. Everyone says love hurts, but that’s not true. Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Envy hurts. Everyone gets these things confused with love; but in reality love is the only thing in this world that covers up all pain and makes someone feel wonderful again. Love is the one thing in this world that does not hurt. Real friendship is a promise made in the heart. Silent. Unwritten. Unbreakable by distance. Unchangeable by time. Good relationships are not just about the good times you share; it’s also about the obstacles you go through together, and the fact that you still say “I love you” in the end. Do small things with huge amounts of love. You’ll see why. Sometimes people don’t notice the things others do for them until they stop doing them. Sometimes we expect more from others because we would be willing to do that much for them. Look at yourself and remember, people in far worse situations have done far more difficult things than this. The best thing that you can do in life is follow your intuition. Take risks. Don’t just make the safe and easy choices because you’re afraid of what might happen. If you do, nothing will ever happen. Most of the time happiness doesn’t come from money or fame or power; it comes from good friends and family, and from the quiet nobility of leading a good life. Lying is done with both words and silence. When something bad happens you can either let it define you, let it destroy you, or you can let it strengthen you. Don’t waste your time being upset about something you can’t change. Start again right now and do it better this time. No relationship is ever a waste of time. If it didn’t bring you what you want, it taught you what you do NOT want. You can’t always be agreeable. That’s how people take advantage of you. Sometimes you have to set boundaries. The road to success is always under construction. Not trying is failing. Don’t be afraid of going slowly; be afraid of standing still forever. The only time you should look back is to see how far you’ve come. Stop wasting time regretting what you did a year ago. Start doing what you have to do now, so that in a year’s time you won’t regret what you did today. Read The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People . It’s not how many times you get knocked down, it how many times you get back up. Follow your heart regardless of what others tell you to do. At the end of the day it’s you that has to live with your decisions, not them. One of the greatest freedoms is truly not caring what everyone else thinks of you. The hardest part about growing is letting go of what you were used to, and moving on with something you’re not. The best things happen when you least expect it. Just sit back and enjoy the ride. Sometimes you have to stop worrying, wondering, and doubting. Have faith that things will work out, maybe not how you planned, but just how it’s meant to be. | positive |

The days of skyrocketing tuition at Washington’s public universities appear to be over.
Unprecedented tuition cuts contained in the new state budget will lower the cost of attending the state’s colleges and universities by up to 20 percent over the next two years, and any future increases will be capped at the average annual rate of statewide wage growth.
“It’s huge,” said state Sen. Michael Baumgartner, R-Spokane, who has pushed to cut tuition for years. “College students and their families are who really won here.”
Under the rollback, which lawmakers and others hope will gain national attention, in-state, undergraduate tuition rates at all public higher education institutions, including community colleges, will be reduced by about 5 percent this fall, with deeper cuts in the 2016-17 academic year at the state’s four-year colleges and universities.
The largest cuts by percentage will be at regional institutions, such as Eastern Washington University in Cheney, where tuition will fall by about 20 percent below current levels by fall 2016. The total reduction at Washington State University and the University of Washington will be 15 percent.
Because tuition rates vary at each school, the dollar value of each cut also differs.
Eastern will remain the least costly of the state’s four-year universities, with base annual tuition dropping to $6,166 this fall and then to $5,193 for full-time students in the 2016-17 academic year, according to the Legislature’s calculations.
“I am pleased to see the state reinvest in higher education and reduce the tuition burden on our students,” said EWU President Mary Cullinan, who made college affordability a key piece of the university’s legislative agenda this year.
The Legislature increased spending on higher education by nearly $200 million in the new state budget to offset the revenue loss from the reduced tuition levels. Lawmakers said additional spending was made possible by the expected increase in tax revenue from Washington’s improving economy and from the elimination of tax breaks.
Over the past 10 years, tuition has doubled at some of Washington’s universities as lawmakers slashed state funding during the recession and gave universities the authority to set their own rates. Tuition climbed so fast that lawmakers imposed a freeze in 2013.
The reductions will bring Washington’s tuition levels closer to surrounding states.
“This makes us very competitive. It’s a major statement,” Community Colleges of Spokane Chancellor Christine Johnson said Wednesday. “I think the student loan debt crisis is huge, and this is a very, very important step.”
Johnson and others praised the Legislature’s commitment to making higher education affordable, saying it will help increase student access and reduce debt.
The actual size of the cut is based on each institution’s current base operating tuition level, which is the largest portion of what students pay to enroll in school each year. Not included in the percentage reductions are additional student fees schools charge along with tuition each year.
Washington’s cut comes as education leaders nationwide warn that college is becoming too expensive and note too many students are graduating with enormous debt struggles.
Baumgartner, who initially pushed for a 25 percent tuition reduction, said it’s believed to be the first time in history a state has actually lowered tuition.
“We’ve been fighting this battle for five years,” he said. “Now, I think we can be a real leader in this and hopefully it will spread.” | positive |

On 18 July 2016, the Occupy Democrats web site published an article headlined “Trump & Kids Face Charges in Massive $250 Million Tax Evasion Suit,” a misleading title given that the story’s opening paragraphs clearly stated that Trump and his children were merely witnesses who haven’t been “charged” with anything:
Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump and two of his children, Donald Jr. and Ivanka, have been named as material witnesses in the investigation of a tax evasion scheme concerning $250 million of unreported income. The case centers around Felix Sater, a man who secretly pleaded guilty to a massive stock swindle in 1998, which defrauded investors and funneled the money into his own pockets and into the coffers of Mafia families. There is a significant chance that Trump and his children will be charged with tax evasion.
Speculation aside, neither Donald Trump nor his children have been slapped with tax evasion charges, nor does the case involve $250 million in unpaid taxes. Rather, Trump and his children were named as witnesses in a tax fraud lawsuit against Felix Sater and others, defendants who are accused by lawyers Richard Lerner and Frederick M. Oberlander of evading taxes on as much as $250 million in income (leaving them owing about $7 million in New York state income taxes and about $35 million in federal income taxes).
Donald Trump’s connection to the lawsuit is that it stems from four Trump-licensed real-estate developments, one of which was the Trump Soho New York, a luxury high rise in lower Manhattan. Donald Trump reportedly received tens of millions of dollars in fees and partnership interests from that development project, as did his son Donald Junior and his daughter Ivanka, making them all material witnesses in a tax evasion case filed not by the New York State attorney general, but by private citizens:
The four developments were all handled as partnerships. Partnerships are not taxed and are rarely audited because the profits are supposed to be reported as going to the partners personally. The lawsuit says the profits simply were not reported when Sater and others took their partnership profits and other income from the deals. The state tax fraud lawsuit is known as a qui tam case in which citizens file as private attorneys general on behalf of the government. In effect Lerner and Oberlander are acting as prosecutors in the alleged tax fraud. Sater controlled an investment firm named Bayrock, with offices in Trump Tower, and sought to develop branded Trump Tower luxury buildings in Moscow and other cities. Court papers show his salary in 2006 was $7 million, but [they] allege that was a pittance compared to his real income.
According to the Associated Press, Felix Sater once served as a senior adviser to Trump’s real estate business, despite having a criminal background:
Donald Trump tapped a man to be a senior business adviser to his real-estate empire even after the man’s past involvement in a major mafia-linked stock fraud scheme had become publicly known. Portions of Trump’s relationship with Felix Sater, a convicted felon and government informant, have been previously known. Trump worked with the company where Sater was an executive, Bayrock Group LLC, after it rented office space from the Trump Organization as early as 2003. Sater’s criminal history was effectively unknown to the public at the time, because a judge kept the relevant court records secret and Sater altered his name. When Sater’s criminal past and mafia links came to light in 2007, Trump distanced himself from Sater. But less than three years later, Trump renewed his ties with Sater. Sater presented business cards describing himself as a senior adviser to Donald Trump, and he had an office on the same floor as Trump’s own office in New York’s Trump Tower. [Sater] pleaded guilty in 1998 to one count of racketeering for his role in a $40 million stock fraud scheme involving the prominent Genovese and Bonanno crime families, according to court records. Prosecutors called the operation a pump-and-dump scheme, in which insiders manipulate the price of obscure stocks and then sell them to hapless investors at inflated prices. Five years earlier, a New York State court had sentenced Sater to more than a year in prison for stabbing a man in the face with a broken margarita glass. According to Trump lawyer Alan Garten, Sater’s role was to prospect for high-end real estate deals for the Trump Organization. The arrangement lasted six months, Garten said. Sater never had an employment agreement or formal contract with the Trump Organization and did not close any deals for Trump, Garten said.
For his part, Trump has maintained he has little knowledge or memory of Sater’s working for his organization:
Trump has testified about Sater in a Florida lawsuit accusing the two of them of fraud in a failed high-rise project. Trump testified that he had a glancing knowledge of Sater and would not recognize him if he were sitting in the room.
Trump said during an interview that he recalled only bare details of Sater. “Felix Sater, boy, I have to even think about it,” Trump said, referring questions about Sater to his staff. “I’m not that familiar with him.”
Although Occupy Democrats justified their misleading headline by stating that a “material witness is a secondary suspect to a crime,” the tax evasion case referenced here is a civil lawsuit and not a criminal proceeding:
Qui tam lawsuits are a type of civil lawsuit whistleblowers bring under the False Claims Act, a law that rewards whistleblowers if their qui tam cases recover funds for the government. Qui tam cases are a powerful way for whistleblowers to help the government stop many kinds of fraud — Medicare and Medicaid fraud, defense contractor fraud and numerous other types of frauds that impact the government financially — and recover billions that have been stolen from the U.S. Treasury and taxpayers. The False Claims Act rewards whistleblowers whose qui tam lawsuits recover government funds. Under the False Claims Act, a private citizen may sue an individual or a business that is defrauding the government and recover funds on the government’s behalf. The qui tam lawsuit is filed “under seal,” meaning that it is kept secret from everyone but the government to give the [government] time to investigate the allegations. Even the person or entity being accused of fraud is not told about the qui tam case. The qui tam lawsuit and supporting documents should provide the government with detailed information about the fraud. The government investigates the allegations, often with the assistance of the whistleblower’s attorney, and decides whether it will join, or “intervene,” in the case. The government intervenes in only a small percentage of qui tam lawsuits. Although whistleblowers have the option under the False Claims Act to pursue qui tam cases on their own, the chances of success are much higher when the government joins.
Eric Schneiderman, the New York State attorney general, learned of the case after it was filed in state court in August 2015 and has declined to intervene. | positive |

OTTAWA — Health Canada reminded the public Monday to be aware of donor semen obtained from unreliable sources, such as over the Internet.
The ministry aimed to reinforce a similar statement issued in December, warning Canadians wanting to undergo assisted reproduction that “fresh” donor semen can carry serious health risks.
Donor semen obtained through questionable means, such as websites, may not be properly screened for disease such as HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B or C and sexually transmitted infections, the statement said, which could be transmitted to both mother and child.
Strict regulations are in place to make sure the importing, processing and distributing of donated semen is safe, the ministry said. The semen must be quarantined for a minimum of six months. Donors must be screened and tested before and after donating. Regulations are also in place governing consent to use semen.
“In light of media reports involving the advertisement of ‘fresh’ donor semen over the Internet, and websites advertising such services, Health Canada is reminding Canadians to use the utmost caution when considering sources of donor semen for assisted conception,” Health Canada said.
People should be wary of websites advertising semen that hasn’t been processed or frozen, it said, or claiming that donors have indeed been screened and tested when that might not be true.
Those considering using donor semen for assisted conception should consult their doctor. | positive |
"Movies and Richard Milhous Nixon can each tell us a lot about America. In this sui generis study—combining film analysis, social history, psychological observation, and political biography—Mark Feeney reminds us that Nixon and the movies can also tell us a lot about each other. It will take further decades fully to understand the subliminal life of RMN. Here's a great beginning."—Kevin Starr "In Nixon at the Movies, Mark Feeney has given us a thought-provoking and truly original book—a work filled with incisive insights into a fascinating figure."—Robert A. Caro
What Nixon Saw and
When He Saw It by Mark Feeney Appendix from Nixon at the Movies: A Book about Belief This list of Nixon screenings is primarily drawn from the President's Daily Diary, which was kept by the Secret Service throughout his presidency. During much of 1969, the diary was kept in a sketchier fashion than during 1970–73. In December 1973, the White House became increasingly anxious about leaks as Watergate worsened and directed the Secret Service to keep a less detailed record of the president's daily schedule. Citations that do not list a date, site, or both, are drawn from one of three sources: The Haldeman Diaries; a 1970 memorandum Rose Mary Woods prepared in response to a Newsweek query as to what films Nixon had seen while president; or, from the second half of December 1973 until August 1974, the personal logs kept by White House projectionist Paul Fisher. I am very grateful to Mr. Fischer for sharing that information, as well as to Irv Letofsky for putting me in touch with him.

Fifty-one-year-old Thomas Mohan of Weymouth is being held on $15,000 bail for his alleged role in a crash that left 39-year-old Michael Carfagna with life-threatening injuries. He pleaded not guilty to a slew of charges, including driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs and negligent driving. In addition to the $15,000 bail for this case, Judge Kevin O'Dea revoked Mohan's bail for a previous case involving the violation of a restraining order. "He became unruly towards the paramedics," said Norfolk County Assistant District Attorney Michael Pirrello. "Officers had to assist the paramedics in putting him on the stretcher as he attempted to get his blood on everyone, he then began to ask what was going on, and stated that he had no recollection of the crash or why he was under arrest." Investigators say he was on drugs and his blood alcohol content was more than four times the legal limit when he slammed into another car and Carfagna. "He was gone for a couple of days and I didn't know where he was, where he went," the suspect's mother, Claire Mohan, said. She was distraught at the allegations and the injuries suffered by both the pedestrian and her son. "I feel bad for him, and I feel bad for the people involved," she said. "I don't know what else to say, it was a terrible tragedy." Friends say Carfagna was walking to a doctor appointment when he was hit. "He's out of surgery, he's doing better, he pulled through," said Josh Nye. "They said that the majority of people probably would not have survived, so we're all thankful for that, we all thank God, but you know, he's still not out of the woods." Nye, whose sister is engaged to Carfagna, says the victim sustained a collapsed diaphram, aorta and broken bones. his sister is Michael's fiancée.

Pay attention to live at www.pitpassmoto.com With two AMA Superbike titles as well as 3 500cc World Championships to his debt, Wayne Rainey is taken into consideration one of the greatest motorcycle road racers of all time. The KRAVE Group purchased the promotional as well as advertising and marketing civil liberties to U.S. roadway racing changing DMG- AMA Pro. KRAVE is a phrase from the creator’s surnames: Terry Karges, Wayne Rainey, Chuck Aksland, as well as Richard Varner. Kevin Schwantz, the 1993 500cc World Champ, has ratings of fans worldwide to today. He continuously be active in the road racing neighborhood both residential and also throughout the fish pond. This loss he was called “AIMExpo Champion” at the American International Motorcycle Expo. He also aided Suzuki to introduce the 2015 Suzuki MotoGP GSX-RR at the Motegi MotoGP race in Japan. For 2015, MotoConcepts has actually re-signed Mike Alessi along with Vince Friese, and inning accordance with a group declaration, they will once more object to the Canadian Nationals. Different sources have actually mentioned the group could compete in AMA Supercross, Lucas Oil Pro Motocross, the Canadian Nationals as well as the MXGP collection is an opportunity. Mike Genova, the group proprietor, is on to review it. Alex Martin is set to begin his second complete period with the Rock River team and also will certainly complete in the 250SX West Area. In 2014 he ended up the 8th total in the 250SX East Area and twelfth general in Lucas Oil Pro Motocross. He is the son of John and also Greta Martin (proprietors of Spring Creek MX Park in Millville, MN) and also older brother to Jeremy Martin (existing 250 Pro MX National Champ). Jake Weimer spent the last 4 years with Beast Power Kawasaki together with Villopoto. When his contract was up he was without a flight and his prompt auto racing future remained in concern. Now he’s picked a handle Team Tedder to race both Supercross as well as Outdoors in 2015.

This morning, a discussion of regression to the mean popped up on Phil's and Tango's blogs. This discussion touches upon some of the recent work I've been doing with Beta distributions, so I figured I'd go ahead and lay out the math linking regression to the mean with Bayesian probability with a Beta prior.
Many of the events we measure in baseball are Bernoulli trials, meaning we simply record whether they happen or not for each opportunity. For example, whether or not a team wins a game, or whether or not a batter gets on base are Bernoulli trials. When we observe these events over a period of time, the results follow a binomial distribution.
When we observe these binomial events, each team or player has a certain amount of skill in producing successes. Said skill level will vary from team to team or player to player, and, as a result, we will observe different results from different teams or players. Albert Pujols, for example, has a high degree of skill at getting on base compared to the whole population of MLB hitters, and we would expect to observe him getting on base more often than, say, Emilio Bonifacio.
The variance in talent levels is not the only thing driving the variance in obvserved results, however. As with any binomial process (excepting those with 0% or 100% probabilities, anyway), there is also random variance as described by the binonial distribution. Even if Albert's on-base skill is roughly 40%, and Bonifacio's is roughly 33%, it is still possible that you will occasionally observe Emilio to have a higher OBP than Albert over a given period of time.
In baseball, it is a practical problem that we do not know the true probability linked to each team's or player's skill, only their observed rate of success. Thus, if we want to know the true talent probability, we have to estimate it from the observed.
One way to do this is with regression to the mean. Say that we have a player with a .400 observed OBP over 500 PAs, and we want to estimate his true talent OBP. Regression to the mean says we need to find out how much, on average, our observed sample will reflect the hitter's true talent OBP, and how much it will reflect random binomial variation. Then, that will tell us how many PAs of the league average we need to add to the observed performance to estimate the hitter's true talent.
For example, say we decide that the number of league average PAs we need to add to regress a 500 PA sample of OBP is 250. We would take the observed performance (200 times on base in 500 PAs), and add 82.5 times on base in 250 PAs (i.e. the league average performance, assuming league average is about .330) to that.
200+82.5 ...... 282.5
------------ = -------- = .377
500+250 ........ 750
Therefore, regression to the mean would estimate the hitter's true OBP talent at .377.
As Phil demonstrated, once you decide that you have to add 250 PAs of league average performance to your sample to regress, you would use that same 250 PA figure to regress any OBP performance, regardless of how many PAs are in the observed sample. Whether you have 10 observed PAs or 1000 observed PAs, the amount of average performance you have to add to regress does not change.
Now, how would one go about finding that 250 PA figure? One way is to figure out the number of PAs at which the random binomial variance is equal to the variance of true talent in the population.
Start by taking the observed variance in the population. You would look at all hitters over a certain number of PAs (say, 500, for example), and you might observe that the variance in their observed OBPs is about .00132, with the average about .330. The observed variance is equal to the sum of the random binomial variance and the variance of true OBP talent across the population of hitters. We don't know the variance of true talent, but we can calculate the random binomial variance as p(1-p)/n, where p is the probability of getting on base (.330 for our observed population) and n is the observed number of PAs (500 in this case). For this example, that would be about .00044. Therefore, the variance of true talent in the population is approximately:
.00132 - .00044 = .00088
Next, we find the number of PAs where the random binomial variance will equal the variance of true talent:
p*(1-p)/n = true_var
.330*(1-.330)/n = .00088
n = .330*(1-.330)/.00088

The city of Boston will deploy "trauma response and recovery teams" to several neighborhoods in the aftermath of violent incidents, as part of a new program announced Tuesday.
The teams will connect residents in Roxbury, Dorchester, Jamaica Plain, East Boston and Mattapan who have been victims of or exposed to violence -- like homicides, shootings or stabbings — with mental health services and ongoing support. The teams will coordinate a joint response typically within 24 hours to address the individual or family's needs, a spokeswoman for the mayor's office said.
Members of each team will be aligned with either a neighborhood health clinic or a community-based organization, often with a record of reaching out after violent events. The Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC) will oversee the teams.
In his third State of the City address, in January, Mayor Marty Walsh, who faces a reelection race in November, discussed his plans to create the teams to bolster the city's response to crime and tragedies. His administration has used similar teams in the past.
"The main change with this new initiative is we're looking at a total system of care that addresses both response and ongoing recovery services," Monica Valdes Lupi, executive director of BPHC, told WBUR on Monday.
The program is "really bridging the community-based responders — those are non-clinically-based staff who are on the front lines, who are often [with] those organizations that reach out to community members and the neighborhoods when a traumatic event happens — and linking the people they encounter after an event directly with one of the clinical sites," she said. Valdes Lupi added that some team responders will act as "family advocates" to work out services like long-term therapeutic care at the health centers, or setting individuals up with coping groups.
The city has also set up a hotline run by the Justice Resource Institute's SMART team at 617-431-0125 for people seeking help through the program. City officials said calls to the line will get a response within 30 minutes.
The total budget for the teams' deployment is $1.1 million, according to Valdes Lupi. The costs are being paid for with a combination of city funding, grants and financial support from Boston Children's Hospital and Partners HealthCare.
Among others, Walsh was joined by Valdes Lupi, Suffolk County District Attorney Dan Conley and Boston Chief of Health and Human Services Felix Arroyo for his announcement at the Whittier Street Health Center in Roxbury.

Democracy activists brings Union flags to rallies in HK (Picture: Lam Yik Fei/Getty Images)
Residents in Hong Kong have started calling for the return of their former colonial rulers.
Britain left the Far East 20 years ago on July 1, but citizens in the administrative region are now calling for their return.
Almost all UK businesses are 'not ready' for no deal Brexit
The flag used under the British has been waved at protests calling for a return to democracy.
China has an obligation to maintain democratic principals in the micro-state but many say they are not doing a good job.
Alice Lai has now set up the HK-UK Reunification Campaign group.

The 39-year-old said: ‘Hong Kong and the UK coexisted in a proven, well-functioning system for close to two centuries.’
The legacy – banks, rattling trams, street names and horse racing – are self-evident.

‘China is simply unfit to be governing Hong Kong – it’s a different way of thinking, a different way of life,’ Lai adds.

Since the handover, attended by Prince Charles, inequality has become more apparent and Chinese investors have sent house prices spiralling.
‘During the past 20 years things have gradually changed. Living standards, people’s liberties – it’s a disaster,’ retired bank worker Sarah Ng explained.

Hong Kong was long seen as the shining example of the British Empire after first coming under UK influence in 1841.
Historian John Carroll said the colonial powers mostly shied away from the ‘kind of excesses’ seen elsewhere.
Wildfires destroy part of Winnie the Pooh's 'Hundred Acre Wood' as UK temperatures rise
But those with memories beyond the last 20 years of British rule might recall something different.
Riots in 1967 went hand-in-hand with widespread corruption and poverty.
The iconic Kowloon Walled City on the New Territories was run by gangs and saw 33,000 people in a 6.4 acre space.

‘I do think it ironic that some people are calling for a return to the UK, given that it deprived Hong Kong people of these rights for so long,’ Carroll added.
The past has not dented the affection clearly felt by some.

China has regularly seen mass protests against their treatment of the island.
A colonial flag flutters by the harbour ahead of the handover (Picture: Schleuning/ullstein bild/Getty)
The ‘Umbrella Revolution’ saw thousands on the streets of Central and Admiralty – the heart of the island – to demand democratic safeguards.
Colonial flags were spotted throughout the protest, despite organisers trying to discourage them from being flown.
‘Racist’ Ryanair passenger who ranted at woman, 77, will be prosecuted in Spain
Yet Albert Lam MBE, who served in the British Army for 24 years, remembers things were not all perfect.
During his time in the military he had to work harder than non-Chinese recruits.
He said: ‘Hong Kong people don’t have any hard feelings against the British. But I wouldn’t particularly say the British were a lot better than the Chinese.’

The Chinese leadership, he points out, have allowed mass protests something never tolerated under Brits.
Now, 20 years on from the handover, the anniversary will give a chance to reflect on colonialism on the island.
MP on verge of tears as she hits out Theresa May's 'utter lack of bravery'
Yet it is also just 30 years until the agreement between Britain and China is dissolved and the new power takes full control of the island.
Whether the nostalgia for the British is kept up until then is anyone’s guess.

If NFL teams selected players in the draft by pure talent alone, Oklahoma running back Joe Mixon would easily be a first-round pick. I don’t think there is any question about that. NFL pundit Mel Kiper has Mixon as his number one running back in the draft.
“On talent, he’s the best running back in the draft,” Mel Kiper told USA Today. “On talent, and on ability, the kid averaged over 6 yards a carry in 9 games this year, he averaged almost 15 yards a catch, he had a 97-yard kickoff return against Ohio State, he’s 228 pounds and he ran 4.43. He was a top kid coming out of high school, so he’s an elite–like [Leonard] Fournette–to me he’s a better back than Fournette, on talent.
However, the product on the field isn’t all that matters. How players conduct themselves off the field is a growing concern in the NFL. Let’s face it, the NFL has some egg on their face following the Ray Rice incident, along with several others, and fewer and fewer teams are taking a risk on guys in fear of public backlash.
That is bad news for Mixon. Just in case you live under what must be the most comfortable rock in the whole world, Mixon caved in the face of a female student just before his freshman year at OU, and he’s been haunted by that split-second decision ever since. Mixon was suspended for that season and has since apologized a few different times, but is that enough to earn a second chance and get a shot at chasing his dreams in the NFL?
For some NFL teams that answer is no. The NFL has already sent the message that they aren’t going to gloss over Mixon’s past by barring him from the NFL Combine in February, and a couple of teams have publicly said they will not have Mixon on their draft board.
According to one report, there is a “zero percent chance” that the Miami Dolphins will draft Mixon. And they aren’t alone. Robert Craft, owner of the New England Patriots, told the Boston Herald that they won’t be drafting Mixon either.
“While I believe in second chances and giving players an opportunity for redemption, I also believe that playing in the NFL is a privilege, not a right,” Kraft told the Herald. “For me, personally, I believe that privilege is lost for men who have a history of abusing women.”
It isn’t all bad news for the Sooner’s back, though. He had an incredible pro day where he showed what he is capable of, and we know that someone will take a shot on Mixon. He is simply too talented to ignore. Much like the Kansas City Chiefs took a risk on former Oklahoma State running back Tyreek Hill, someone is going to get a bargain in Mixon.
We won’t know who that will be until April 27, but NFL GMs and scouts think Mixon will probably go in the second round, and at least one NFL is has already indicated they will have Mixon on their board. | positive |

Real Madrid and Manchester United go to war over David de Gea. Plus, the best (and worst) of the transfer deadline day deals, and everything you wanted to know about the Euro 2016 qualifiers
On today's Football Weekly Extra, AC Jimbo, Barry Glendenning, Gregg Bakowski and James Horncastle cast aside their unpleasant yellow ties and pick over the bones of transfer deadline day. Manchester United did their annual ballsing up of things, Chelsea made some uncharacteristic panic buys, and Saido Berahino was left thoroughly cheesed off that he didn't go Spurs. Yay, football!
We also get Sid Lowe and Philippe Auclair on the blower to discuss all things David de Gea and Anthony Martial.
Speaking of which, it's international week, so we get all excited about the next round of Euro 2016 qualifiers. By the time we meet up again on Monday – with added Jonathan Wilson – Wales, Albania, Iceland and Slovakia may have booked their places in France.
We'll need your questions to help jazz up Monday's show, so please leave them here on the blog. | positive |

Please note that, due to space constraints, this menu includes only some of the more requested aircraft in our database. If the aircraft you're searching for is not in this list, use the 'Keywords' field further down in the search menus. Some menu selections include a generic aircraft model, as well as more specific variants of that airliner. These variants are denoted by a - before the aircraft name. Selecting 'Boeing 747,' for example, will show results featuring all Boeing 747 jetliners in our database, while selecting '- Boeing 747-200' will show all Boeing 747-200 variants in our database (Boeing 747-200, Boeing 747-212B, Boeing 747-283F, etc.) If you are looking for photos of a specific airline, use this menu. Please note that, due to space constraints, this menu includes only airlines of which 10 or more photos exist in our database. If the airline you're searching for is not in this list, use the 'Keywords' field further down in the search menu. Airlines are listed in alphabetical order. If you are looking for photos taken in a specific country, or at a specific airport, use this menu.

For example, an option of: - Paul Jones [550] .. indicates that there are 550 total photos taken by Paul Jones currently in the database. Note: The total number of photos, enclosed in brackets, is updated four (4) times hourly, and may be slightly inaccurate.

Every photo field is covered by the Keywords search routine. The Keywords field is ideal for searching for such specifics as aircraft registrations, photographers' names, specific airport/city names, specific paintschemes (i.e. 'Wunala Dreaming'), etc. To use the Keywords field, begin by selecting a Keyworld search field. You may select either a specific database field (airline, aircraft, etc.), or choose to match your keyword to all database fields. Next, select a Keyword limiter.

When a ballerina pirouettes, twirling a full revolution, she looks just as she did when she started. But for electrons and other subatomic particles, which follow the rules of quantum theory, that's not necessarily so. When an electron moves around a closed path, ending up where it began, its physical state may or may not be the same as when it left.
Now, there is a way to control the outcome, thanks to an international research group led by scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The team has developed the first switch that turns on and off this mysterious quantum behavior. The discovery promises to provide new insight into the fundamentals of quantum theory and may lead to new quantum electronic devices.
To study this quantum property, NIST physicist and fellow Joseph A. Stroscio and his colleagues studied electrons corralled in special orbits within a nanometer-sized region of graphene -- an ultrastrong, single layer of tightly packed carbon atoms. The corralled electrons orbit the center of the graphene sample just as electrons orbit the center of an atom. The orbiting electrons ordinarily retain the same exact physical properties after traveling a complete circuit in the graphene. But when an applied magnetic field reaches a critical value, it acts as a switch, altering the shape of the orbits and causing the electrons to possess different physical properties after completing a full circuit.
The researchers report their findings in the May 26, 2017, issue of Science.
The newly developed quantum switch relies on a geometric property called the Berry phase, named after English physicist Sir Michael Berry who developed the theory of this quantum phenomenon in 1983. The Berry phase is associated with the wave function of a particle, which in quantum theory describes a particle's physical state. The wave function -- think of an ocean wave -- has both an amplitude (the height of the wave) and a phase -- the location of a peak or trough relative to the start of the wave cycle.
When an electron makes a complete circuit around a closed loop so that it returns to its initial location, the phase of its wave function may shift instead of returning to its original value. This phase shift, the Berry phase, is a kind of memory of a quantum system's travel and does not depend on time, only on the geometry of the system -- the shape of the path. Moreover, the shift has observable consequences in a wide range of quantum systems.
Although the Berry phase is a purely quantum phenomenon, it has an analog in non-quantum systems. Consider the motion of a Foucault pendulum, which was used to demonstrate Earth's rotation in the 19th century. The suspended pendulum simply swings back and forth in the same vertical plane, but appears to slowly rotate during each swing -- a kind of phase shift -- due to the rotation of Earth beneath it.
Since the mid-1980s, experiments have shown that several types of quantum systems have a Berry phase associated with them. But until the current study, no one had constructed a switch that could turn the Berry phase on and off at will. The switch developed by the team, controlled by a tiny change in an applied magnetic field, gives electrons a sudden and large increase in energy.
Several members of the current research team -- based at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University -- developed the theory for the Berry phase switch.
To study the Berry phase and create the switch, NIST team member Fereshte Ghahari built a high-quality graphene device to study the energy levels and the Berry phase of electrons corralled within the graphene.
First, the team confined the electrons to occupy certain orbits and energy levels. To keep the electrons penned in, team member Daniel Walkup created a quantum version of an electric fence by using ionized impurities in the insulating layer beneath the graphene. This enabled a scanning tunneling microscope at NIST's nanotechnology user facility, the Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology, to probe the quantum energy levels and Berry phase of the confined electrons.
The team then applied a weak magnetic field directed into the graphene sheet. For electrons moving in the clockwise direction, the magnetic field created tighter, more compact orbits. But for electrons moving in counterclockwise orbits, the magnetic field had the opposite effect, pulling the electrons into wider orbits. At a critical magnetic field strength, the field acted as a Berry phase switch. It twisted the counterclockwise orbits of the electrons, causing the charged particles to execute clockwise pirouettes near the boundary of the electric fence.
Ordinarily, these pirouettes would have little consequence. However, says team member Christopher Gutiérrez, "the electrons in graphene possess a special Berry phase, which switches on when these magneticallyinduced pirouettes are triggered."
When the Berry phase is switched on, orbiting electrons abruptly jump to a higher energy level. The quantum switch provides a rich scientific tool box that will help scientists exploit ideas for new quantum devices, which have no analog in conventional semiconductor systems, says Stroscio. | positive |

Four new native bee species were recognised as part of the largest Australian nature discovery project, called 'Bush Blitz'. The South Australian bee specialists used molecular and morphological evidence to prove them as new. Three of the species had narrow heads and long mouth parts -- adaptations to foraging on flowers of emu-bushes, which have narrow constrictions at the base. The new species are described in the open access journal ZooKeys.
Bees are important pollinators of crops and native plants, but habitat loss and pesticides are proved to be causing a serious decline in their populations in Europe and the United States of America. Meanwhile, the conservation status of native Australian bees is largely unknown because solid baseline data are unavailable and about one third of the species are as yet unknown to science. Furthermore, identification of Australian bees is hampered by a lack of keys for about half of the named species.
With their present publication, bee specialists Katja Hogendoorn (University of Adelaide), Remko Leijs and Mark Stevens (South Australian Museum) are now trying to make Australian native bees more accessible to the scientific community. The study introduces a new Barcoding of Life project, 'AUSBS', which will be built to contain the barcode sequences of the identified Australian native bees.
In future, this database can help scientists who have molecular tools, but insufficient knowledge of bees, to identify known species. Yet, that is not the only use of the database. "Bee taxonomists can access and use the molecular information to answer specific problems, for example, how certain species are related or whether or not a male and female belong to the same species," says Dr. Hogendoorn. "And combined with morphological information, the molecular database can help to identify new species," she adds.
In their publication, the researchers demonstrate the utility of the database. After careful evaluation of the DNA sequence data and subsequent morphological comparison of the collected bees to museum type specimens, they recognised four new species in the genus Euhesma, which they subsequently described.
Three of the species belong to the group of bees that specialise on the flowers of emu-bushes. These bees have evolved narrow faces and very long mouth parts to collect the nectar through a narrow constriction at the base of the flowers. A similar evolution has been already observed in other groups of bees. The fourth species belongs to a different group within this large genus and has a normally shaped head.
So far, the project includes 271 sequences of 120 species that were collected during the Bush Blitz surveys, Australia's largest nature discovery project. The researchers intend to build on the existing DNA database to cover as many as possible of the Australian species. "It is hoped that this will stimulate native bee research," says Dr. Hogendoorn. "With about 750 Australian bee species still undescribed and many groups in need of revision there is an enormous job to do," she concludes. | positive |

The chant "Drill Baby Drill!", commonly heard at Republican rallies last autumn, became one of the most memorable slogans of the 2008 US presidential election. Oil prices had skyrocketed, with prices running to almost $150 a barrel. While John McCain suggested ratcheting up domestic oil production as the solution, Barack Obama promised a technological revolution that would allow the development of green alternatives to petrol within 10 years. Energy independence became the watchword of the day.
President Obama clearly believes America's addiction to oil is a national security problem, and is calling for the US to wean itself off foreign oil. Just six days into his presidency, he declared: "America's dependence on oil is one of the most serious threats our nation has faced. It bankrolls dictators, pays for nuclear proliferation, and funds both sides of our struggle against terrorism."
Among the steps toward energy independence he recommends are improving energy efficiency and building fuel-efficient vehicles. But although these initiatives will reduce oil consumption, they will not remotely achieve the goal of US energy independence.
The US will never again meet oil demand through domestic production, as it faces permanent declines. The 1970s saw the American peak in oil production. Since then, annual production rates in the US have fallen. The US accounts for nearly one quarter of worldwide oil consumption, and now close to 60% of that must be imported. Even a huge increase in the number of wells drilled there cannot reduce the import level by more than a few percentage points.
Potential new oil discoveries, including any in the Arctic national wildlife refuge, will be insufficient to reverse projected declines. The US is more extensively explored than any other country, and estimates by the US Geological Survey dash any hope of drilling to energy independence. Too little oil remains in American reservoirs.
Switching to alternative sources of energy is touted as the other great solution. But even high oil prices and market forces are unlikely to halt US import dependence, as no meaningful near and midterm alternatives exist.
Options to limit or end oil dependence in the transportation sector include fuel switching and improvements in fuel economy. Fuel switching entails the retooling of the transportation sector to vehicles powered by natural gas, electricity, biofuels or hydrogen fuel cells. Fuel economy improvements could be attained by the more widespread adoption of either hybrid cars or diesel-powered vehicles.
Although these changes might affect consumption per mile, projected increases in travel would more than offset such gains. This means that nothing short of fuel switching can reduce oil usage to the point where all oil used is produced domestically.
Fuel switching is likelier to occur in an era of high oil prices, but market incentives are low now that oil prices have slid from the record highs of summer 2008.
High-volume US oil importation will remain a constant for at least two to three decades. The current global energy market presents many geostrategic challenges. These include the stability of oil producers, terrorism, embargoes, sanctions and ethnic conflicts.
Also, by 2020, Chinese consumption will outpace that of the US. This adds an additional challenge for national security planners, as the US has previously been the sole superpower engaging oil-producing regions and trying to influence their politics. A rising China is likely to challenge the US for access and influence throughout the oil-exporting world.
Within the developed world, renewable production from wind, solar and geothermal sources will need to be dramatically increased. This will eventually free fossil fuels for transportation use as opposed to electrical generation.
Where oil originates is largely irrelevant economically, so developing diverse supplies of energy globally may be the best energy security for all importers – not just the US. The major energy-consuming countries must work together on long-term solutions to replace oil rather than worrying about where it comes from.

Internet service providers like Comcast and Verizon may soon be free to block content, slow video-streaming services from rivals, and offer “fast lanes” to preferred partners. For a glimpse of how the internet experience may change, look at what broadband providers are doing under the existing “net neutrality” rules.
When AT&T customers access its DirecTV Now video-streaming service, the data doesn’t count against their plan’s data limits. Verizon, likewise, exempts its Go90 service from its customers’ data plans. T-Mobile allows multiple video and music streaming services to bypass its data limits, essentially allowing it to pick winners and losers in those categories.
Consumers will likely see more arrangements like these, granting or blocking access to specific content, if the Federal Communications Commission next month repeals Obama-era net neutrality rules that ban broadband providers from discriminating against lawful content providers. The commission outlined its proposed changes on Tuesday, and published them Wednesday. The proposal would also ban states from passing their own versions of the old rules. Because Republicans have a majority in the agency, the proposal will likely pass and take effect early next year.
Because many internet services for mobile devices include limits on data use, the changes will be visible there first. In one dramatic scenario, internet services would begin to resemble cable-TV packages, where subscriptions could be limited to a few dozen sites and services. Or, for big spenders, a few hundred. Fortunately, that’s not a likely scenario. Instead, expect a gradual shift towards subscriptions that provide unlimited access to certain preferred providers while charging extra for everything else.
Net neutrality advocates have long worried that these sorts of preferential offerings harm competition, and by extension, consumers, by making it harder for smaller providers to compete. A company like Netflix or Amazon can likely shell out to sponsor data, but smaller companies don't necessarily have the budget.
"Net neutrality is incredibly important for small startups like Discord because all internet traffic needs to be treated as equal for us all to have access to the same resources as the big companies," says Jason Citron, co-founder and CEO of the videogame-centric chat and video-conferencing app Discord. Citron's company is well funded and boasts 45 million users. But it competes with larger players like Microsoft's Skype, Google's Hangouts, and Facebook's WhatsApp. Even if Discord can offer a better experience for gamers, bigger companies might be able to gain an advantage by partnering with broadband providers to prioritize or subsidize their apps.
For even smaller video providers, the end of net neutrality could be dire. "We believe this would affect more than just our voice and video equipment, but our entire ability to host folks interacting across our services," says Nolan T. Jones, managing partner and co-creator of Roll20, a video-conferencing and community platform for tabletop role-playing gamers.
It can be hard for smaller companies to even get a meeting with large broadband providers. In 2014, when T-Mobile launched a program that exempted music streaming services from its users’ data caps, the founder of streaming service SomaFM complained that his company had been left out. T-Mobile added SomaFM to the program a year later, but it’s not clear how many customers SomaFM may have lost in the interim.
The FCC ruled earlier this year that these data exemptions, known as "zero rating," are permissible under the current net-neutrality rules. Once those rules go away, the companies will be free to experiment with more drastic measures, like slowing connections to data-hungry apps.
Even Verizon's "unlimited" plans impose limits. The company's cheapest unlimited mobile plan limits video streaming quality to 480p resolution, which is DVD quality, on phones and 720p resolution, the lower tier of HD quality, on tablets. Customers can upgrade to a more expensive plan that enables 720p resolution on phones and 1080p on tablets, but the higher quality 4K video standard is effectively forbidden.
Meanwhile, Comcast customers in 28 states face 1 terabyte data caps. Going over that limit costs subscribers as much as an additional $50 a month. As 4K televisions become more common, more households may hit the limit. That could prompt some to stick with a traditional pay-TV package from Comcast.
It's not hard to see how companies could push these ideas further. Comcast could take a page from Verizon and stop customers from accessing any 4K content unless they pay for an unlimited account. And it could charge companies to sponsor data for their customers.
For now, Comcast says that’s off the table. “Comcast does not and will not block, throttle, or discriminate against lawful content,” Comcast Cable president and CEO Dave Watson wrote in a blog post Tuesday. AT&T and Verizon did not answer questions about future plans, but spokespeople pointed to blog posts saying the companies support the open internet.
But even without a dramatic departure from current practices, the future internet, then, could look a more extreme version of today's mobile plans, with different pricing tiers for different levels of video quality for different apps. That means more customer choice, but perhaps not in the way anyone actually wants.
Republican FCC Chair Ajit Pai argues that Federal Trade Commission will be able to protect consumers and small business from abuses by internet providers once the agency's current rules are off the books. But that’s not clear.
Democratic FTC commissioner Terrell McSweeny tells WIRED that the FTC is only an enforcement agency. It doesn't have the authority to issue industry-wide rules, such as a ban on blocking lawful content. In many cases, she says, the agency might not be able to use antitrust law against broadband providers that give preferential treatment to their own content or to that of partners.
"The FTC stands ready to protect broadband subscribers from anticompetitive, unfair, or deceptive acts and practices,” acting FTC Chair Maureen K. Ohlhausen said in a statement Tuesday.
The good news is the internet won't change overnight, if it all. Blake Reid, a clinical professor at Colorado Law, says the big broadband providers will wait to see how the inevitable legal challenges to the new FCC order shakeout. They'll probably keep an eye on 2018 and even 2020 elections as well. The courts could shoot down the FCC’s order, or, given enough public pressure, Congress even could pass new net neutrality laws.
UPDATED, 1:10 PM: This article was updated after the FCC published its proposal to eliminate net-neutrality rules. | positive |
Only 1 in 5 think TV reporters have high ethical standards - Terry Heaton's PoMo Blog Terry Heaton's PoMo Blog “Postmodernism is a change-or-be-changed world. The word is out: Reinvent yourself for the 21st century or die! Some would rather die than change.” —Leonard Sweet, cultural historian Home Article Index Transparent Terry Contact Only 1 in 5 think TV reporters have high ethical standards December 16, 2013 By Terry Heaton Leave a Comment I hate to be redundant, but TV News people head out the door each day in the belief that they have the public trust. They do not, and yet, we keep throwing the same old stuff at viewers. Here’s new data from Gallup. Note that just 20% of Americans feel TV reporters have high or very high standards of honesty and ethics. That’s one in five. Now let’s switch over to TVSPY for a piece on a young reporter looking for investigative chops in the small market of Fargo. Her piece on “school security” was as cheap as one in the same market many years ago about “airport security” (or was that Duluth?). Really, people, who do we think we’re fooling? This isn’t a real investigation by anybody’s standards; it’s an attempt by the reporter to get something on her reel that will convince her future employers that she’s tough. Puh-leeze.

It’s a perplexing question: why has so little changed since 2008? If your recall is a little hazy, 2008 was the year the world woke up to a banking crisis of epic proportions, a crisis borne of blind faith in market wisdom and an utter lack of public oversight. But in a bizarre twist, the parties who benefited from the bust were the conservatives (the people who glibly told voters it was all the government’s fault) and the xenophobes (who blamed it all on terrorists and immigrants, who steal our jobs yet are too lazy to work).
So why isn’t the left coming up with some real alternatives? There are volumes to be written about this conundrum, but I’d like to venture one simple explanation: the eternal return of underdog socialism.
It’s an international phenomenon, observable among legions of leftwing thinkers and movements, from trade unions to political parties, from columnists to professors. The world view of the underdog socialist is encapsulated in the notion that the establishment has mastered the game of reason, judgment and statistics, leaving the left with emotion. Its heart is in the right place. The underdog socialist always has his or her back against the wall. Warily they watch the neoliberals, the multinationals and the Eurocrats advance, but can’t bring themselves to do much more than whimper: “Come on guys, do we have to?”
An MP from the Flemish Green party recently asked me: “Yes, but isn’t the government deficit too high?” She stared in disbelief when I answered that the deficit was actually too low. Jeremy Corbyn still hasn’t offered any convincing vision that resonates beyond his most devoted fans.
It seems as if leftists like losing – as if all the doom and atrocities mainly serve to prove them right
Meanwhile, the Socialist party in France and Germany’s Social Democratic party are moving farther towards the middle of the road. In my own country, the Netherlands, the vacuous governing social democrat party seems to believe it will be able to inch its way up the polls if only economy shows some limited growth. “The left has failed to come up with ideas that are economically sound and politically popular beyond ameliorative policies such as income transfers,” the economist Dani Rodrik recently wrote.
The underdog socialist has a surfeit of compassion and finds prevailing policies deeply unfair – seeing the achievements of the 20th century crumbling to dust, and rushing in to salvage what he can. But when push comes to shove, the underdog socialist caves in to the arguments of the opposition, always accepting the premise upon which the debate takes place. “National debt is out of control, but we can make more programmes income-dependent ... Fighting poverty is terribly expensive, but it’s part of being a civilised nation ... Taxes are high – but each according to his ability.”
Reining in and restraining, that’s the sole remaining mission of the underdog socialists. Anti-austerity, anti-privatisation, anti-establishment: one is left to wonder, what are underdog socialists actually for? Time and again, they side with society’s unfortunates: poor people, dropouts, asylum seekers, disabled people and the discriminated. They decry Islamophobia, homophobia and racism. Meanwhile, they obsess over the proliferation of “rifts” dividing the world into blue-collar and white-collar, poverty and wealth, ordinary people and the 1%, and vainly seek to “reconnect” with a constituency that has long since packed its bags.

But the underdog socialists’ biggest problem isn’t that they are wrong. They are not. Their biggest problem is that they’re dull. Dull as a doorknob. They’ve got no story to tell; nor even the language to convey it in. Having arrived at the conclusion that politics is a mere matter of identity, they have chosen an arena in which they will lose every time.
And too often, it seems as if leftists actually like losing. As if all the failure, doom and atrocities mainly serve to prove they were right all along. “There’s a kind of activism,” Rebecca Solnit remarks in her book Hope in the Dark, “that’s more about bolstering identity than achieving results.”
One thing Donald Trump understands very well is that most people prefer to be on the winning side (“We’re going to win so much. You’re going to get tired of winning.”) They resent the pity and paternalism of the good Samaritan. The always-impending apocalypse – whether the next financial crash or unavoidable climate disaster – is not a great motivator.
What the underdog socialist has forgotten is that the story of the left ought to be a narrative of hope and progress. By that I don’t mean a narrative that only excites a few hipsters who get their kicks philosophising about “postcapitalism” after reading some deadly dull tome. The greatest sin of the academic left is that it has become fundamentally aristocratic, writing in bizarre jargon that makes cliches seem abstruse. If you can’t explain your ideal to a fairly intelligent 12-year-old, it’s probably your own fault. What we need is a narrative that speaks to millions of ordinary people. It all starts with reclaiming the language of progress.
Reforms? Hell, yes. Let’s give the financial sector a real overhaul: hike those buffers, carve up those banks, and give those tax paradises a run for their money. And after that, let’s reinvent the welfare state and eradicate poverty for good – now that’s an investment that will pay for itself.
Meritocracy? Bring it on. Let’s finally pay people according to their real contributions. Waste collectors, nurses and teachers would get a substantial raise, obviously, while quite a few lobbyists, lawyers and bankers would see their salaries dive into the negatives. If you want to do a job that hurts the public, go right ahead. But you’ll have to pay for the privilege.

Innovation? Totally. And who better to get us started than history’s biggest venture capitalist: government. Almost every groundbreaking innovation is financed by taxpayers, after all: every sliver of fundamental technology in your iPhone (capacitive sensors, solid-state memory, the click wheel, GPS, internet, cellular communications, Siri, microchips, and the touchscreen) was invented by researchers on the government payroll.
Efficiency? That’s the whole point. Think about it: every pound invested in a homeless person returns triple or more in savings on care, police and court costs. Just imagine what the eradication of child poverty might achieve. Solving these kinds of problems is a whole lot more efficient than “managing” them.
Cut the nanny state? Spot on. Let’s axe those senseless reemployment courses for the out of work, quit drilling and degrading benefit recipients, and put paid to the biggest paperwork proliferator in the western hemisphere: the unleashing of “market forces” in health care.
Freedom? It’s what the left has dreamed of all along. As we speak, 37% of Brits are stuck in “bullshit jobs” that even the people doing them consider meaningless. It’s high time we all got the freedom to strive for our full potential. How? Universal basic income.
But first, the underdog socialists will have to stop wallowing in their moral superiority. Everyone who reckons themselves progressive should be a beacon of not just energy but ideas, not only indignation but hope, and equal parts ethics and hard sell. Ultimately, what the underdog socialist lacks is the most vital ingredient for political change: the conviction that there truly is a better way.

DAVAO CITY, Philippines – Incoming president Rodrigo Duterte on Wednesday vowed to pursue the Philippines’s claim to Sabah, which is now being administered by Malaysia.
“I’ll stick to our claim,” Duterte said when asked for his stand on the country’s claim to Sabah.
Pressed if he would recognize the claim of the sultanate of Sulu, Duterte replied: “Yes. What has been the policy will always be the policy of the government especially those for the interest of the country. We have to stake our claim.”
The Sulu sultanate used to rule over parts of southern Philippines and Sabah. In 1963, the British government transferred Sabah to the Federation of Malaysia.
The Philippines claims that Sabah was only leased, not ceded, to the British North Borneo Co. The heirs of the sultan of Sulu continue to receive lease payments for Sabah.
Malaysia, however, maintains that the international community has been recognizing Sabah as part of its territory since the formation of the federation in 1963.
The dispute over Sabah landed on the headlines again in 2013 after followers of Sulu Sultan Jamalul Kiram entered Lahad Datu in Sabah to assert their rights over the area.
A series of armed encounters ensued after Kiram’s followers refused to leave despite the warnings given by Malaysian government forces.
Dozens of Malaysian security personnel and sultanate followers died during the clashes, which spilled over to other parts of Sabah.
President Aquino has clarified to Malaysia that the actions of Kiram’s followers were not sanctioned by the Philippine government. | positive |
On Aunt Mildred's Porch: I'm a Little Bit Frugal On Aunt Mildred's Porch I grow things, I ride things, I bake things, I can things, I sew things and I make things. Sit with me on Aunt Mildred's Porch to witness this crazy journey I call my life and share the fun, laughter and utter foolishness that I come across from day to day. If you don't want to see pictures of my butt, you should just move along. Pages Home About The Porch Shop Horsing Around Wednesday, December 7, 2011 I'm a Little Bit Frugal Does your grocery store have the gas rewards deal that mine does? For every dollar I spend, I get a point toward money off my next fill up at the Shell station. The points last for a month. The grocery store has "specials" each week where if you buy a certain quantity of a certain group of items, you get extra points. I never seem to want these items because they are CRAP, CRAP, CRAP and more CRAp. Every so often, they have a coupon in the flier that says you can get 200 or 300 extra points if you use it. This weekend, I shopped and got the extra 300 points. And then I went to get gas tonight, expecting to save a little. 80 cents per gallon is the most I've ever saved and that was just once. This is what the price said when I pulled up. Yuck. When I got my license, I spent $1.08 per gallon and thought that was a big deal. When I put in my rewards card number, I almost dropped dead. And not because I was doing the forbidden touching my cell phone while pumping gas- so I could take pictures for you, of course. That's right. I had 1000 points stocked up on that card and saved ONE DOLLAR PER GALLON. Can you believe it? I wanted to call everyone I know to get over there and save money on me. But I was hungry and wanted to make supper, so I took my gas and ran. $18 richer. WHOOO HOOO. By the way, who stole my card and racked up 1000 points for me? No way did I spend anywhere near that money in the past month anywhere, let alone the grocery store!

Too many drivers all share the same account in this house though so it's rare I get the discount at the pump. Oh well. But you...Rock on! $1.00 off is pretty much awesome. ReplyDelete Replies Reply Beth- the mama bee December 8, 2011 at 9:57 PM Gas was 97 cents the year I graduated from high school. I hardly bother looking anymore. Doesn't matter.... I need gas regardless... ReplyDelete Replies Reply Susan Webber December 9, 2011 at 8:34 PM You beat my record of $.80 off per gallon last week. The grocery chain offered 200 extra points before Thanksgiving for a total order over $50, which is about what I spend when I just run in 'for a couple of things'. Then they gave 200 extra points when we bought a turkey. Then we had company for 2 weeks and bought lots of expensive fruits and vegetables. So i really racked it up! But I would worry too about how the store thought you had spent $1,000 in the previous 30 days...... ReplyDelete Replies Reply Add comment Load more...

If you purchase the vehicle at lease end, you will typically not be charged the fee although you may be charged a comparable purchase option fee. Most manufacturers will waive the lease disposition fee if you lease or purchase a new vehicle from the same brand at the end of the lease term.

NAACP President, four others arrested during sit-in at office of Jeff Sessions
Sponsored Links
An NAACP sit-in to protest the nomination of US Sen. Jeff Sessions as US attorney general ended late Tuesday when six people were arrested at Sessions' Mobile, Alabama, office.
Five people were arrested after members of the local and national offices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) gathered outside of Senator Jeff Session's Mobile office to show their displeasure with his nomination for US Attorney General, and to say that appointment is not yet a done deal.
The five arrested are NAACP National President Cornell Brooks, State President Benard Simelton, Mobile County President Rosetta McConnell, Joe Keffer, a community organizer and Steven Green and Deven Crawford, a youth activist.

Did it really end like this? With a second yellow card at the Stadium of Light: did 703 appearances, 66 goals, and two decades of unprecedented success wither and die? If only someone at Chelsea would tell the world what is going to happen to the greatest servant in the history of the club.
Sources close to the Chelsea hierarchy talk of a concern about the 'cult of personality' Terry has established in his 18 years at Chelsea. It seems incredibly naïve that someone might run a football club, and find it of concern that its most enduring and decorated homegrown player would be seen as a demigod by fans. But the airbrushing of multiple legends from the club's past and present seems to back this up.
Alongside Terry, Frank Lampard, Petr Cech, Ashley Cole and Didier Drogba are the names that history is likely to judge as the 'legends' of Chelsea's golden period. Each one was ousted from the club in the quiet summer months, with no fanfare, no send-off, and no opportunity for fans to say goodbye. In each case it was merely a press release from the ivory tower, thanking them for their efforts, and wishing them well in the future.
Not one got a testimonial – though it could be argued that, by nature of his close relationship with Roman Abramovich, Cech's Arsenal transfer was a testimonial of sorts.
Many Chelsea legends have left via the back door in recent yearsReuters
These greats, unlike managers such as Roberto Di Matteo or Jose Mourinho, were not completely frozen out and airbrushed from existence – for the club needs its history of achievement to sell the brand. But they were pointedly taken down a peg or two by their departure – for, as we know, in a plutocracy power cannot be allowed to escape the clutches of those with all the cash.
The silence over Terry is causing inestimable frustration to fans, who receive no direct communication from the club on the matter, and have never had a word out of the man who is the ultimate arbiter of all that goes on within it.
“Why don't you ask what is going to happen?” is a common demand of journalists covering Chelsea. But the reality is that official statements on the subject are non-existent, and those put up to do the talking have no real say in the matter.
Trying to move on from the impossible-to-answer question of his actual future, this reporter put it to Guus Hiddink after defeat at Sunderland that both Terry and the fans needed to know what was going on prior to next Saturday's final game. Even on that point, he seemed to heed orders to give a fence-sitting response – something which cannot be blamed upon the temporary boss, but shows the top-to-bottom resolve on avoiding these awkward questions.
When Terry went public with the situation at Milton Keynes back in January, he broke the golden rule: airing such dirty linen in public. That did not go down at all well on the yacht, and if the writing was not on the wall already by that stage, it appears to have been sprayed firmly onto the bricks since.
John Terry walks off the pitch against SunderlandEurosport
So is the hope of fans that there will be some Damascene conversion in the case of Terry entirely misguided?
The problem is that the precedent established by Frank Lampard, whose record-breaking goals at Aston Villa three years ago this week earned him what seemed like an unlikely additional year, establishes the tiny possibility that cold Russian hearts might melt. And that is the problem with all this phoney posturing. The reaction of fans is feared. They who run the club lived through Rafael Benitez being sent to the lions in his first game against Manchester City, and had their awkward expressions plastered over the back pages as a result.
That is what it comes down to: that a man who owns industries, runs vast territories and has created what the world now knows to be Chelsea, plus those with whom he is surrounded, perhaps fears something as trifling as a booing crowd.
It seems there may be an element of cowardice, though given the unrest at Stamford Bridge you can understand why postponing a vastly unpopular decision until after the end of the season would be a calculated move which makes perfect sense for Abramovich.
But Chelsea Football Club, its hierarchy and its owner should fess up about what is really going to happen to their Captain, Leader, Legend – and take what's coming to them as a result. | positive |

SPOILERS are discussed ahead for Star Wars: The Last Jedi!
Don't read this if you haven't seen the movie! Bookmark this page and come back and check it out after you do!
In a rare flashback for the franchise, Star Wars: The Last Jedi depicts a moment from the past where Luke Skywalker is tempted to kill his nephew Ben Solo after sensing how much of a hold the Dark Side has on him.
The scenes have proven among the most controversial in a movie some Star Wars fans truly hate despite its overwhelmingly positive reviews and strong audience exit polling.
Some fans who are bothered by these scenes claim Luke's temptation is out of character for the hero of the saga. But as The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson told IGN during a recent one-on-one interview, the point of these scenes is to show the lure of the Dark Side of the Force remains a threat even for such a noble Jedi master as Luke Skywalker.

When asked if that moment is the closest Luke has ever come to the Dark Side, Johnson responded, "Absolutely. That was the embodiment of The Dark Side, is the quick and easy path, right?"
"It’s that glimpse of… and Luke has never been… it’s not like Luke is a Superman who’s impervious to that. Having just, even the brief moment of temptation of it," Johnson said, "because that’s what that moment is. He doesn’t give in to the Dark Side, it’s a moment of temptation to the Dark Side."
Johnson continued, "It reminds me very much of when Vader is tempting Luke, when Luke is underneath the stairs in [Return of the] Jedi, lit with that very beautiful half-and-half, the duality of these two sides of him being pulled. And that’s really what that moment is for me, it’s a moment of temptation to the Dark Side for Luke."

It can be argued Ben Solo might not have become Kylo Ren had he not witnessed his own uncle/mentor considering murdering him in his sleep. But if this moment of weakness on Luke's part is what propelled Ben's downfall then doesn't that suggest this damage could be undone? Rey may have seen potential for Kylo's redemption but Johnson believes that, for Luke at least, that proverbial ship has sailed: "He says, 'I can’t save him.' 'I can’t save him.' I don’t think Luke can save him."
But when pressed whether he himself thinks Kylo Ren is potentially redeemable, Johnson shrugged and laughed, "Yeah." After all, the last Skywalker who fell to the Dark Side was saved in the end.
"Are you kidding? Vader was worse than Kylo ever was, I think, and Vader got redeemed," Johnson said. "Also, I should just for the record [say] that I’m not involved in the writing of the next movie. I’m an audience member in it, just like you, so when I talk about what’s going to happen next it’s in the context of, as a fan, what I’m thinking of."

We'll have to wait until Star Wars: Episode IX opens in December 2019 to see whether Kylo Ren finds redemption.

Superman may be one of the most recognizable characters created but bringing him to the big screen isn't exactly an easy feat. We're talking about an incredibly powerful guy from another planet that wears red and blue tights. With past attempts at live-action Superman productions, how will Man of Steel compare?
The answer might surprise you.
In an interview with Empire Magazine, David S. Goyer reveals quite a bit.
We're approaching Superman as if it weren't a comic book movie, as if it were real. I adore the Donner films. Absolutely adore them. It just struck me that there was an idealist quality to them that may or may not work with today's audience. It just struck me that if Superman really existed in the world, first of all this story would be a story about first contact. He's an alien. You can easily imagine a scenario in which we'd be doing a film like E.T., as opposed to him running around in tights. If the world found out he existed, it would be the biggest thing that ever happened in human history.
It does make sense. For the average person in a movie to accept superpowers is one thing. Having them accept alien life is another. We've seen plenty of stories in comics and movies where the townsfolk fear those that are different. Seeing a hero do...heroic things could be easy to accept. When you throw in the fact they're an alien, that should bring about a new level of fear.
There is more of an unknown factor thrown in. The idea that an average person could somehow gain powers through an accident or genetic mutation might be easier to accept than actual alien species. Who knows what their presence could mean for the rest of mankind.
The idea of Superman being an alien has always been a great plot device. Superman is more human than most of those around him, despite being from Krypton. Seeing how the filmmakers capture this will be interesting.
There might be some that feel the alien angle shouldn't be a focus but it isn't something we've really seen in the Superman movies before. Perhaps now is the time.

* Critical equipment was in basements, which flooded
* Wide swath of storm took out backup facilities miles away
By Aaron Pressman and Joseph Menn
Nov 3 (Reuters) - As Sandy hammered the northeast United States this week killing more than 100 people, contingency plans were washed away and businesses had to improvise as the storm knocked out power to millions and stranded entire communities.
Internet sites were kept online only because an impromptu bucket brigade ferried 5-gallon jugs of diesel fuel up 17 stories to a rooftop generator. Billions of dollars of stock trades were frozen and sidelined. Even the United Nations closed its complex when flood waters knocked out power.
Some of the world’s largest companies had contingency plans but in many cases they could not withstand the fury of the raging waters that poured into parts of the five boroughs that make up New York City.
“Most companies have a disaster recovery plan or business continuity plan but never test them or practice them,” said Vincent Renaud, vice president at the Uptime Institute, a New York-based research group focused on digital infrastructure.
“Mission critical infrastructure equipment - engine-generators, fuel storage, pumps, UPS, cooling systems - need to be placed out of harm’s way,” he said. “No one ever expected to have such a disaster on their hands like Sandy in New York City. Consequently, no planning for this level of catastrophe was done.”
Media mogul Barry Diller’s IAC/InterActiveCorp, which owns Newsweek Daily Beast, Ask.com, Urban Spoon and other popular websites, had to close its headquarters when the flood waters from the Hudson River entered the building, which lost power during the storm.
“We are working to restore all building operations,” an IAC spokeswoman said on Friday. “Most employees have been working remotely.”
While IAC’s properties remained online, among the more noticeable website crashes was the Huffington Post, whose parent AOL Inc relied on a back-up center in Newark, New Jersey, about 11 miles (18 km) from its main office in Manhattan. All three of the telecommunications providers serving the Newark location had outages the night Sandy hit.
“If I were Arianna Huffington, I would be as diverse geographically as possible,” said Gartner analyst Akshay Sharma, adding that Chicago would be a safer back-up location.
At Verizon Communications Inc, one of the top U.S. telecommunications companies, a giant switching station at 140 West Street in the financial district was knocked out by Sandy’s floodwaters. The company had moved its backup generators out of the basement after 9/11, but left under street level the tanks of fuel and fuel pumps. So when they were soaked, downtown New York communications were ravaged.
David Doddridge, who runs a construction and building code consulting firm in New York City, said fuel for rooftop generators is usually stored indoors and below street level for both practical and safety reasons. Fuel delivery trucks rely on gravity to load tanks, and roof-top fuel storage would raise concerns about lightning strikes and weather-related corrosion.
“The basement is really the most practical spot,” Doddridge said. “Not every scenario can fit every situation. From a logistics standpoint, fuel storage is typically in the basement. And it’s much safer to keep these inside.”
ADVANCE WARNING
While Sandy was dubbed the frankenstorm because it was an unusual combination of a tropical disturbance and a colder system moving down from the north, scientists had been warning for years that a major hurricane could sweep up the Eastern Seaboard and deliver an overwhelming flood surge to New York.
Malcolm Bowman, a professor of oceanography at the Marine Sciences Research Center at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, wrote in a 2009 paper that a so-called 100-year flood could overrun parts of lower Manhattan, Hoboken in New Jersey, Staten Island and New York’s La Guardia Airport.
“It was just a matter of time,” Bowman said after Sandy hit. “It was all almost prophetic.”
He argued that the region’s piecemeal approach to address flooding needs to be replaced by a broad system of surge barriers or levees similar to those that defend low-lying European cities. Protecting individual facilities is “sensible and needs to be done,” he said. “But at the end of the day, it doesn’t protect you against a mega storm’s knockout punch.”
Experts said companies have to weigh preparing for storm risks against other disaster scenarios, such as a terrorist attack or an uncontrolled influenza epidemic.
“Scary predictions appear all the time - sorting them through beforehand is tough,” said Ernest Sternberg, chairman of the department of urban and regional planning at the University of Buffalo’s school of architecture, who has studied New York’s disaster preparedness.
“One must watch out for and prevent ‘hindsight bias’ in which we rashly judge people acting under great uncertainty when they are making decisions about future disaster possibilities.”
TRADING TROUBLES
Some contingency plans never got a chance. On Wall Street, the New York Stock Exchange initially planned to switch trading to an all-electronic platform in case of a weather emergency. But NYSE Euronext reversed that decision after some traders said they were not prepared for the plan.
Many major trading firms, including Goldman Sachs Group Inc , CME Group Inc’s NYMEX, and Citigroup Inc, were in the flood-prone evacuation zone, which did indeed flood and as of Thursday still had no power.
After the NYSE resumed trading on Wednesday, some firms still had trouble. Knight Capital Group in Jersey City, one of the biggest brokers for retail stock trading and exchange-traded funds, shut down its platform for half a day when fuel supplies for its back-up generator ran low.
Knight has a backup facility in Purchase, New York, about 30 miles (48 km) north of New York City and out of harm’s way, but did not feel confident about switching over its service in the middle of the day. The firm asked clients to trade elsewhere “out of an abundance of caution.”
Many companies have generators, fuel or pumps in the basement or at ground level in the flood zone. Others had only enough fuel to last a couple of days, having failed to anticipate a power outage lasting a week or more.
“It’s liable to be up and down for the next week,” said James Cowie, co-founder of Renesys, which measures Internet performance. “There are people now revisiting their best practices, a lot of people who did not do adequate tests.”
Web-hosting service Peer1’s emergency generators were on the roof, but its basement fuel tanks were flooded. The Vancouver-based company scrambled and came up with a creative solution: It found new fuel in 50-gallon drums, and had employees pour the contents into 5-gallon jerry cans and take them in bucket brigades up 17 flights of stairs for 48 hours.
Peer1 CEO Fabio Banducci said the team beefed up from three the first day to an eventual 35, including customers and friends.
MEETING IN ‘BANTANAMO’
Sandy’s punch also hit the U.N. building along Manhattan’s East River, which was closed for three days after floodwaters breached its basement levels and is still not fully functional.
The U.N. Security Council had an urgent meeting so it gathered in a spartan, container-like structure that housed Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s interim offices - a building nicknamed “Walmart” and “Bantanamo” because of its utter lack of aesthetic value.
The decision to locate critical facilities in the lower levels of the more than six-decade old U.N. building had been based on analysis of weather patterns going back to the 19th century, U.N. Under-Secretary-General for Management Yukio Takasu said.
“This was a very unprecedented hurricane,” Takasu said, adding that the U.N. management might consider relocating certain infrastructure after conducting a “lessons learned” assessment of the impact of Sandy had on the United Nations. | positive |

A prominent security expert, Steve Gibson, said RSA customers should consider their RSA SecurID tokens "completely compromised" and insist upon their immediate replacement. Though RSA may not want to do this, Mr Gibson described it as "the responsible thing" to do, even if it was a "very expensive" exercise to undertake. An RSA SecurID cryptographic token is a small, portable device which generates a dynamic digital security code that changes every 60 seconds. It is most commonly used together with a static PIN or password to access a computer system. The idea behind it is that with two factors of authentication - a PIN (something you know) and the dynamically generated digital number (something you have) - the system is more secure. Many companies give the tokens to their employees as well as outside contractors and partner companies to give them secure access to internal computer systems. To carry out a successful attack against a company, an attacker "would need to obtain its target device’s public serial number as well as one or more current output samples, at a known time, to determine the current state of the device’s 22-bit realtime clock," Mr Gibson speculated. "From that point on, an attacker could reliably determine the device’s output at any time in the future."
RSA therefore needed to "step up to the plate and take responsibility for what has happened", Gibson said. "That means recalling every single SecurID device and replacing them all. No company can consider RSA’s existing deployed SecurID devices to be secure." In an open letter to customers on Friday, RSA said an investigation into the attack revealed that it had “resulted in certain information being extracted from RSA's systems”. It said data stolen was “specifically related to RSA's SecurID two-factor authentication products” and that the attack “could potentially be used to reduce the effectiveness of a current two-factor authentication implementation as part of a broader attack”. In a brief telephone conversation on Friday afternoon, Telstra's public key infrastructure specialist of perimeter security, Paul Lexa, said Telstra had “been in contact" with RSA. “I can say that but I can’t say anymore,” he added. Fairfax understands that Telstra is one of RSA’s largest Australian customers, with it administering about 45,000 authentication tokens. It's also understood that about 7000 Westpac staff use them. Airline Virgin Blue uses 1500 hardware-based RSA cryptographic tokens, according to a case study posted on the RSA website. As of 2004, Westpac had issued 15,000 RSA tokens, mostly to business customers. It planned to issue an additional 60,000 over the 18 months following September 2004.
As to what exact information was stolen from RSA remains unclear as the company hasn’t exactly been very forthcoming about it - and understandably so. Other than the open letter posted on the RSA website, the only other piece of information given to clients on Friday was two PDF documents with best practises a company should take to ensure it is secure. Seen by Fairfax, one was labelled “RSA SecurID security best practices summary” and the other “RSA SecurID authentication engine security best practices guide”. The documents provided steps companies should already be taking to ensure that their tokens are secure. The documents do not spell out what data was stolen.
“There’s probably one key piece of information in the [documents provided to clients] which would protect against whatever vulnerability now exists due to the RSA security breach,” said one Australian IT manager who wished to remain anonymous. “But RSA wouldn’t want to tell us which one because that would be telling the world exactly what was stolen.”
The IT manager said it would “be much nicer if [RSA] just explained exactly what happened and which key steps you should take to make sure you were protected”. Do you know more? bgrubb@smh.com.au This reporter is on Twitter: @bengrubb | positive |
The Tolkien Tarot Spread I: the Function of Fiction – Druid Journal Skip to content Druid Journal Guidance by Word, Card, and Star Menu Home About & Contact Downloads and Offerings Explore Archives Tolkien Tarot Spread The Tolkien Tarot Spread I: the Function of Fiction Posted by Jeff Lilly on February 8, 2008 May 1, 2020 There is no question that Tolkien has had an amazing effect on my life, perhaps more than any other single person, including my parents. I am a linguist today because of The Hobbit. The runes absolutely fascinated me. And then — The Lord of the Rings! Can you imagine the thrill that shot through me when I read the inscription on the One Ring: Ash nazg durbatuluk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatuluk, agh burzum ishi krimpatul. One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness, bind them. …and I realized that ash must mean “one”, and nazg must mean “ring” — and suddenly the name Nazgul — “ring ghoul” — Ringwraith — made perfect sense! There was no turning back after that. Profound Lies And then of course there’s this whole druidism thing. Of course, there are no druids per se in Tolkien’s mythology, but the atmosphere, the moral values (e.g. the reverence for trees), and the character of magic throughout the works are unmistakable. I didn’t realize I was a druid until twenty-odd years after I read the books, but they set me on the path. I think it’s pretty common for works of fiction to have profound effects on peoples’ lives. Think of all the libertarians spawned by Ayn Rand, for example. But if you take a step back and think about it, it’s a strange thing. After all, fiction is just a pack of lies, right? And not just lies — lies that everyone knows are false. Tolkien wasn’t fooling anybody, or trying to. Objectively speaking, how could known falsehoods have any kind of influence on someone’s life? In this article, I’m going to try to tease out what fiction is for — why humanity creates fiction, and how it works — and I think you’ll see that a Tarot spread, or any other divination system, actually serves a closely related function. From there it’s a short step to a Tolkien Tarot Spread, based on a core theme/pattern found in Tolkien’s fiction. The Roots of Belief Where does belief come from? When you’re presented with new information, how do you decide whether to believe it? Do you check things out in a purely logical manner? Maybe you compare it with beliefs that you already have, see if the new information is consistent with them? Research the source of the information — the author, the newspaper, whatever — and see if they have a reputation for telling the truth? Verify by experiment — try it yourself? Most people gauge truth by a much simpler system: they use their gut. If the new information triggers an emotional response, that response almost completely determines their belief. When you read something you disagree with, and you have a powerful negative emotional reaction, you immediately start trying to think of ways to disprove or discount what you’ve read. On the other hand, if you have a powerful positive emotional reaction, you immediately start trying to think of evidence that supports your belief. For example, I believe quite strongly that racism (or any kind of ‘groupism’) is wrong, and that there is no substantive genetic difference between groups of people. I believe this partly because of my own experience with African Americans, but mostly because (honestly) I want to believe it. I’ll be quite blunt here: if I read a story or a study on some web site that purported to show that African Americans had lower IQ or whatever, I would have a powerful negative emotional response, and I would immediately think of ways that the study might be faulty — poorly designed, poorly executed, funded by people I don’t like, etc. It would be very, very, very hard to convince me of such a thing. Conversely, if I read a story or study that shows that African Americans have equal IQ, I would have a positive response and I wouldn’t question it at all. I would believe it immediately, without question. According to neurolinguistic programming, belief really arises out of emotion. NLP actually teaches techniques for generating beliefs out of emotional responses: you train yourself to believe what you want to believe (e.g. ‘I am self-confident’) by linking certain beliefs to certain emotions, and then triggering those emotions again and again. You will find yourself looking for reasons to believe in your self-confidence, looking for supporting evidence again and again… And eventually you’ll find (or create) some. Is this good or bad? Well, if we live in an objective world, with no spiritual component, and no Law of Attraction, it’s definitely a design flaw in the human brain. After all, if belief is just a kind of emotional response, our beliefs are essentially random, and hardly tied to the real world at all. It’s amazing we survived this long as a species. However, if we live in a spiritual world, with working magic and the Law of Attraction, then it’s a wonderful thing. Since beliefs create reality, it means that you can really change the world in accord with your emotional force. And since you ultimately have control over your emotional responses, then you have control over your world. The Scope of Fiction’s Power So — back to fiction. Now we have an answer to why good fiction can be so powerfully life-changing: it elicits emotional responses. Therefore it can, and it will, affect your belief structures. But not your beliefs about the facts of the story: you know that there was never any such person as Frodo Baggins, for example. Regardless of how strongly moved you are by Tolkien’s fiction, you will never really believe that Frodo existed. Instead, fiction instills belief in the background assumptions of the work. The background assumptions are things like human nature, spiritual nature, character, morality, and ethics. For example, Larry Niven, one of my very favorite SF (speculative fiction) authors, is a pretty libertarian guy. Many heroes of his works are adventurers, entrepreneurs, or other individuals who seek their personal fortunes without worrying about whether they’re being too greedy or doing their duty to the government. Furthermore, he portrays a future universe where pretty much everyone is wealthy, because there are very few governmental constraints on economic activity. He never says this blatantly; he shows it — his characters simply move through a society full of rich, comfortable people, and he shows them using all kinds of creative ways to explore, trade and increase their personal wealth and happiness. Unrealistic? Well, he’s a great writer, and he makes it realistic. Read enough of his stuff, and you start to take on a libertarian mindset yourself, totally subconsciously. (I guess you could take that as a warning or a temptation…) Tolkien’s philosophy is harder to pin down — we don’t have a label for him, like we do for libertarians. It’s a complex web, too, so even when you see it, it’s hard to describe concisely. But it’s there, and it’s unavoidable. Here are some aspects of it: There is a guiding force to events, which works indirectly through seeming ‘chance’ or ‘happenstance’ (e.g. Bilbo’s finding the Ring; the manner of the Ring’s destruction). Despite this, people have free will, and the responsibility to choose wisely. Loyalty to one’s king and country is a great virtue, as is military service when necessary. Greed for power (and knowledge!) corrupts. The world was once much more beautiful and pure than it is now. Not all wrongs can be righted, but even tragedy can be beautiful. If the fiction moves you, if it triggers the right emotional responses, then your beliefs about what happens can change. And that’s a much more powerful effect than simply changing your beliefs about what happened once. In the next post, I’ll talk about the crucial role of plot in fiction, and how it reflects and creates beliefs about the patterns of events in life — which of course is the very crux of divination.

I even remember one time when a school teacher of mine dismissed Tolkien’s work as “children’s books”. He obviously didn’t get the point. Can’t wait for the next part. Vitor LikeLike Reply Adam says: February 8, 2008 at 6:40 pm I definitely agree with Vitor on this… Fiction is vastly underrated. There are three authors who have had the most influence on my way of thinking… Spider Robinson, Piers Anthony, and Robert A. Heinlein. In different ways, each of these three have set up the filters through which I view reality. Robinson’s contribution can be summed up in both the short story God is an Iron, as well as the running theme of his Callahan stories, that shared joy is increase, shared pain is diminished. Anthony taught that not all of our thoughts are purely subjective, and not all of the physical world is purely objective… There is a true mixing of the two. Also, artificial consciousness is more than possible, it is inevitable. Heinlein taught that to laugh is to be human, and to be human is to laugh… Also, while a lot of people talk about honor, courage, and selfless service, you must build your own foundation before you can build anybody else’s… All of his heroes took care of themselves first, before saving the universe. LikeLike Reply Jeff Lilly says: February 9, 2008 at 7:48 am Vitor: a school teacher of yours thought Tolkien was for children?? Obviously he’d never picked up The Silmarillion… Something I’ve always wondered is how Tolkien’s names sound to non-English speakers. He created his languages with an ear to his own personal linguistic taste, and, purposefully or not, Elvish names in particular echo English words in subtle ways. Mordor, for example, suggests murder; and orn, one of the Sindarin words for ‘tree’ (found in mallorn and Celeborn), suggests acorn. These correspondences aren’t usually obvious, and they operate subconsciously. Vitor, what kind of effect does it have for you? LikeLike Reply Jeff Lilly says: February 9, 2008 at 7:53 am Adam, it’s neat to hear you list out what your favorite authors taught you about life! I’m ashamed to admit I’ve only read a very little by the three authors you’ve mentioned — in fact I don’t think I’ve picked up any Spider Robinson at all… As for Piers Anthony, I loved reading his Apprentice Adept series, but that’s all I ever read by him. And Heinlein… I tried reading Stranger in a Strange Land once, but had a hard time getting into it. But I have a collection of his short stories that I adore; particularly All You Zombies and And He Built a Crooked House. LikeLike Reply Vitor - The Fractal Forest says: February 9, 2008 at 9:05 am Jeff, What impresses me the most about Tolkien’s lingustic feats is that he made each word truly fit its meaning – Phonosemantically, as you would say. There is a certain emotional weight to each syllable, drawing you deeper into the storyworld of middle-earth. Also, the distinct identities given to each fictional language represent the traits of the race corresponding to it beautifully. I never liked reading Tolkien in german or spanish, and I think that it may be because the common language, westron (in which the books are supposedly written), is represented by english, and substituting it with another language just breaks the entire linguistic puzzle Tolkien put together. LikeLike Reply Jeff Lilly says: February 9, 2008 at 11:03 am One of these days, Vitor, I’m going to write a big huge article on Tolkien’s phonosemantics. It’s daunting to think of the research involved… But one of these days! LikeLike Reply Adam says: February 9, 2008 at 12:35 pm When reading Heinlein, you really have to work up to the end… Especially in Stranger in a Strange Land, Time Enough for Love, and The Cat that Walks Through Walls, three of his greatest books… The problem with the three of them, though, is it takes willpower to get to that one point in the story where you feel you absolutely must read the rest… Before that point, if you set the book down too long, you wouldn’t be able to pick it back up, although the endings are more than well worth the beginning… and also rely on the slow beginnings, in a sense. LikeLike Reply Patricia - Spiritual Journey Of A Lightworker says: February 10, 2008 at 12:01 am When I was a child growing up in an abusive home, my escape was in books. I couldn’t possibly pick out any one book or author who influenced my life the most. I loved mythology in all forms—Roman, Greek, it didn’t matter. Maybe those are where I got my values from. Science fiction in any kind was wonderful because they not only took me out of my life but most often into outerspace and to other planets. Fiction was my book of choice back then because it could help me forget and take me places that I would never go except in my mind. Like, Vitor, I look forward to your next article.

The escapist function of fiction is so often denigraded and sneered at by literary critics that it’s easy to forget that escape can be a vital service to the reader. My wife and I use Pratchett for this at the end of every day, to help us forget things so that we can sleep. 🙂 As for mythology, ever since the Solstice, I’ve been reading it to the kids before they go to bed. They adore it! LikeLike Reply Kullervo says: February 11, 2008 at 2:57 pm I don’t know about how underrated fiction really is. Even by “most people.” I’m not sure that most people are all that reflective about it, but i think most people do have a story or two that is extremely meaningful to them, whether it be from film, written literature, whatever. i think a lot of people have been moved or touched or had their thinking changed by a story.

Radical feminist me just could not get past the blatent sexism of Stranger in a Strange Land. What a tool. I will avoid Niven, too, thanks for the warning. I do love Tolkien, though. (Have you noticed my last name?) As for his philosophy, I’d say that’s pretty run of the mill Catholic, actually, as limited as my understanding of Catholicism is, that is. Power and knowledge corrupting, faith in a hierarchy, loyalty, free will vs. fate, the world was once pure but isn’t now (and that “purity” is something to be valued). With some hard-core Norse attitude thrown in, of course. Alas, the older I get the less it fits with my own philosophy, which is definitely turning towards the left hand path of luscious immersion in the world instead of a desire to escape from it. But I still love Tolkien, and the clarity of his visions. First loves, you know. And the more I learn about Greek (the language) and Indo-European roots the more I find parallels in Tolkien’s languages. So he’s (certainly) not just drawing on English there. Oh, I thought of an example: in Greek myth, the name of the nymphs of the mountains are Orodemniades or Oreiades, from mountain, oros. And in Quenya the word is oron, in Sindarin orod. Seriously, I’ll be looking up something in Greek (a word here and there, not like I actually read the language) and I’ll think, oh, that’s related to the Sindarin word. And then I’ll go, no, that’s not quite the right way round! 🙂 LikeLike Reply Jeff Lilly says: February 17, 2008 at 8:42 pm Thalia, nice insights. I don’t know much about Catholicism, so I didn’t want to say outright that Tolkien’s philosophy was straight-up Catholic, but I’m sure you’re right — I doubt he strayed far from it. And it’s definitely true that you can enjoy his fiction without buying the whole set of background assumptions. A blatant one I forgot is Divine Right of Kings… You’ll never catch me picking up a sword for God and King. 🙂 And of course I noticed your last name!! I’ve never worked up the courage to ask if it’s your birth name or one you chose… Or maybe I should say, was it one you chose before you were born, or afterward? 😉 Fascinating what you say about Greek. I’m sure Tolkien had more than a passing acquaintance with it, but I’ve never heard it mentioned as one of his primary influences. I heard that Quenya is most inspired by Finnish, and Sindarin by Welsh. Greek… One of those languages I just have to learn before I die!

I wish I could do that for C.S. Lewis’s Narnia stuff. Because he does really, really well at capturing the true feel of a vision, that whole “further up and further in” journey to the Source; but it just wasn’t compatable with my Paganism after all and it ended up making me very angry. And yes, I legally changed my name some years back. One of the most ridiculous and wisest things I’ve ever done. It still makes me laugh. LikeLike Reply Jeff Lilly says: February 18, 2008 at 5:34 am For whatever reason, I can still enjoy Lewis; but my wife feels just the same as you do. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe made her angry, and she definitely does NOT want to read any others. Maybe if he had more gods floating around… But my wife’s big problem with Lewis is that the heavily patriarchal, fight-gloriously-for-your-King ethos somehow weighs much more heavily than in Tolkien’s stuff. After all, Aslan himself tells Lucy that a woman’s place is not on the battlefield, while Tolkien has Eowyn kill the Witch-King… But Tolkien also has a number of women in very powerful leadership positions, especially in the more enlightened societies (e.g. Galadriel). The only really powerful female character in Narnia is the White Witch herself — not exactly sympathetic. At some point I want to do a piece on Lewis and paganism. According to what I’ve read, he did not set out to make Narina a Christian story (at least not at first), but he simply began with a jumble of images — a faun carrying packages, a lamp-post… And a number of Christians dislike the stories because they’re not Christian enough. There’s a lot to think about there, a lot to untangle. LikeLike Reply Thalia says: February 18, 2008 at 4:04 pm For me it actually wasn’t his treatment of women and the expected roles he had for them (though who knows what I’d think now that I’m more consciously a feminist), it was that he had co-opted Pagan themes and characters and Gods to serve an overtly Christian purpose. It felt really disingenuous and dishonest to me, like he was simultaneously celebrating and mocking the old ways of Paganism. Like if a Christian philosopher incorporated the works of say Aristotle into his philosophy, but was still careful to point out he was burning in Hell. Though now that I say that, his role for Jadis (the White Witch) as a powerful woman really did make me angry, in that I felt it was a perversion of the role of the Goddess in the whole wheel of the year seasonal cycle.

I currently feel that where Steve appeals much to logic, your writing appeals to the emotions. 2) JRR Tolkien was not my initial influence to a lifelong love so far, with myth, ‘fantasy’ and fiction. I think Greek myth stories were, back in primary school when I was born a bookworm. But I understand Tolkien was deeply behind the original Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) roleplaying game, which triggered my next flowering of interest in secondary school. I noted that the Halfling (unflattering term) was their take on Hobbit. Back then I deepened my liking for their portrayal of the Druid character. I loved the self-sufficiency and versatility, but disliked the hierarchy and non-nature limitations imposed upon, in the D&D version. That fiction knows no bounds, is testimony to its universality. Being Southeast Asian and Chinese, I’ve had no difficulties with ‘Western’ fiction, and equally rich Indo-European culture past and present. 3) Today, I’m still in love with both mythical and ‘science’ fiction. My long-time username here, on the Web and in my email, in alternative spelling, salutes an immortal creature, possibly my totem. My other current blog website, spelt closely to the one given here, keeps my core fiction world in wiki form. 4) All the best for your endeavours on Druid Journal, and beyond! Thank you too, for letting us sample of your well-crafted Alamanc 2008. May the oak tree of your efforts fruit bountily, and saplings spead far and wide from their acorns!

It’s interesting to hear about your reaction to ‘Western’ fiction. I used to enjoy D&D myself, although I didn’t get into it until after I’d already read Tolkien. I always shied away from taking on the mantle of Druid or Paladin; like you, I felt like there were too many restrictions on the characters. Thanks for your good wishes! And I wish you all success with your fiction, and everything else you do. 🙂 LikeLike Reply Pingback: Branching Reflections « The Fractal Forest mahud says: March 7, 2008 at 4:41 am My two favourite mediums of storytelling is film and Japanese Rpgs, in particular Final Fantasy. There are times in a story, which for me are sacred moments that evoke the response of simultaneous desire and loss. This I think is what C.S. Lewis means by the term joy that he associated with the German Sehnsucht, meaning longing. It is a desire for something ‘other’ that is triggered through the beauty of a particular experience (evoking joy), yet defies attainment (loss). For Lewis, this experience was triggered by Wagner’s Ring cycle. Moments in film that evoke Sehnsucht for me, include various scenes from The Shawshank Redemption after Andy Dufresne escapes through the sewage tunnel and stands naked in the river in the pouring rain with his hands outstretched, looking upward at the sky. Also the ending of the movie when Andy and Red are reunited on the beach in Mexico. Ending of movies I find especially evocative, even the ending of Star Trek: First Contact, when the Vulcan ship lands and the hooded figure emerges from the ship to reveal that he is a Vulcan. At the end of One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest , when the Chief suffocates McMurphy and lifts the marble water fountain, smashing the window and walks off into the night. That last example is very poignant. It evokes within myself a desire to be truly free, I have caught a glimpse of freedom and for a fleeting moment I have tasted it, but then the magic is gone, and I no longer know where true freedom is to be found. LikeLike Reply Jeff Lilly says: March 7, 2008 at 6:01 am I think I know exactly what you mean, Mahud. Your description reminds me of these Welsh lines: Tell me, men of learning, what is Longing made from? What cloth was put in it that it does not wear out with me? Gold wears out, silver wears out, velvet wears out, silk wears out, Every ample garment wears out — yet Longing does not wear out. Great Longing, cruel Longing, is breaking my heart every day; When I sleep most sound at night, Longing comes and wakes me. For me, just about anywhere in the southwestern desert of North America evokes this reaction. LikeLike Reply mahud says: March 8, 2008 at 4:19 am That’s a wonderful quote! It is part of the human condition. Everything changes. We may experience a powerful sense of loss, such as the death of loved one, and all these experiences whether on a conscious or subconscious level can be triggered in moments of fiction. But is everything ever really truly lost, I wonder? I’m kind of rambling now. Ignore this comment if you want 😉 LikeLike Reply Jeff Lilly says: March 8, 2008 at 4:37 am I don’t mind you rambling if you don’t mind me rambling back at you. 🙂 The last day or so I feel like I’ve been in a waking dream. I had a direct conversation with Loki, and it was very odd… He was conniving and scheming and clever and he mainly sneered and laughed at me the whole time. And yet, through the whole interview, I was filled with the same high-vibration joy and delight that I always get when I talk to gods. He was obviously having the time of his life, and it was amazingly infectious — even when the joke was on me! In any case, he basically called me a whiner, and said if I really knew what I wanted, I would have no trouble getting it. Thinking about it afterwards, the intuition I got was that the world really does reflect back at you exactly what is inside you; and if you can’t reach your goals, it’s just because some part of you isn’t ready or willing to achieve them yet. So one answer to your rambling musing is: anything may be lost, but only if you want it to be.

Menu Skip to content Home About Us Medicare Training for Agents Tag Archives: reasons SAP 102: Get Your WHY Fixed, or Just Get Out! | How to Sell Insurance Successfully Nothing to sell here. Absolutely no hype. I will tell you why 90% of insurance agents fail when they are pursuing a new opportunity. Why? ????? ?? ??? ??? ??? ????? ???????. If your reason WHY you are getting up every morning is not strong enough, you will be knocked out far too early. Only those with a desperate reason as to WHY they are going to get up and get out on phones will ever see any level of success, regardless of what you are selling or who you are helping. If your reason WHY is to help a particular person (demographic) with a systemic problem that they have, and you show a level of interest in their situation that is real and not scripted, you cannot HELP but succeed. Too may new insurance agents think that they are starting just another job. They have nothing to hold themselves accountable and no one to report to. This is very dangerous. If the agent does not have the internal discipline to show up every day, to make the uncomfortable calls, to study marketing to become proficient, they will FAIL, every time. This discipline can come from developing a passion to help the next person in their situation. “Everything you ever wanted is on the other side of fear.” – George Addair Matthew 12:34 quoted Jesus as saying, “Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks”. Proverbs 4:23 says, “Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.” Luke 6:45 says, “The good person out of the good treasure of the heart produces good, and the evil person out of evil treasure produces evil; for it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks.” See also: https://youtu.be/yvWb4JChOjc As always, for helpful agent information, visit MedicareAgentTraining.com.

In this very space the past few weeks, it has been pointed out that a certain team playing its football in Green Bay, Wisconsin, has been playing kind of well. The world took notice Sunday when Aaron Rodgers, bad calf and hamstring and all, carved up the Seahawks defense and put the Packers in position to run the table and make it into the postseason.
To be clear: Green Bay is far from guaranteed to make it. At 7-6 the Packers' margin for error is razor thin. But Rodgers is playing at an MVP level and his weapons are starting to come alive. The Packers have won three straight games and need to win three more -- matchups against the Bears on the road, the Vikings at home and the Lions on the road on New Year's Day are going to decide Green Bay's fate.
But Vegas has taken notice, because the Packers are now 18-1 to win Super Bowl LI, the seventh-highest team on the list below according to the Las Vegas Westgate Superbook. It's a clear sign that everyone should be very afraid of Green Bay down the stretch.
Here are your Super Bowl odds entering NFL Week 15:
1. New England Patriots (9-5, Previously 2-1): Tom Brady just threw for 400 yards against the best defense in football and put himself squarely in the middle of the MVP conversation.
2. Dallas Cowboys (4-1, Previously 7-2): Trouble brewing on the quarterback home front! Tony Romo is in play, apparently. Jerry Jones didn't rule it out.
3. Seattle Seahawks (6-1, Previously 9-2): That was a very concerning dismantling at the hands of Green Bay on Sunday.
4. Kansas City Chiefs (8-1, Previously 10-1): They just keep grinding out big wins every single week.
Alex Smith and the Chiefs continue to grind out wins. USATSI
5. Pittsburgh Steelers (10-1, Previously 12-1): The scariest non-Pats team in the AFC is looking good to land in the playoffs.
6. Oakland Raiders (14-1, Previously 12-1): Some red flags popped up with this team on the road against Kansas City, particularly with respect to Derek Carr's injured finger.
7. Green Bay Packers (18-1, Previously 30-1): Aaron Rodgers and Co. still probably need to run the table, but they look BACK.
8. New York Giants (18-1, Previously 30-1): A huge win against the Cowboys gives them life in the NFC East and should secure them for the postseason.
9. Atlanta Falcons (20-1, Previously 20-1): Still not a lock to win the division but Matt Ryan looked like an MVP against the Rams despite missing Julio Jones and Mohamed Sanu.
10. Detroit Lions (25-1, Previously 25-1): Matthew Stafford getting hurt would be a major problem for this team.
11. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (40-1, Previously 60-1): Mike Smith's defense has only allowed 64 points in the past five weeks.
It's hard to find a hotter team in the NFL than the Bucs. USATSI
12. Washington Redskins (50-1, Previously 80-1): A dominant effort against the Eagles gives them new life when it comes to their postseason hopes.
13. Denver Broncos (50-1, Previously 30-1): There are serious problems for the defending champions when it comes to running the ball and stopping the run.
14. Minnesota Vikings (50-1, Previously 80-1): This team really does embody Mike Zimmer: refusing to give up.
15. Houston Texans (50-1, Previously 100-1): Brock Osweiler is going to win this division.
16. Tennessee Titans (60-1, Previously 80-1): This team needs to do everyone a favor and win this division (see: above).
17. Indianapolis Colts (60-1, Previously 20-1): That was an inexplicable couple of decisions by this coaching staff when it came to protecting Andrew Luck and late-game play-calling against Houston.
18. Baltimore Ravens (60-1, Previously 40-1): Not in the driver's seat when it comes to the AFC North anymore, but they can still control their destiny by beating the Steelers.
19. Miami Dolphins (60-1, Previously 100-1): What an emotional win in the rain, and thankfully Ryan Tannehill is fine.
20. Arizona Cardinals (300-1, Previously 80-1): The playoff ship has probably sailed.
21. Carolina Panthers (500-1, Previously 1,000-1): The playoff ship has definitely sailed.
22. Buffalo Bills (500-1, Previously 100-1): Question is how will Rex Ryan coach and use Tyrod Taylor in what could be a critical game for his future.
23. New Orleans Saints (500-1, Previously 200-1): This offense is falling off a cliff quickly and it should be concerning for everyone involved.
24. San Diego Chargers (OFF, Previously 1,000-1): This really feels like a snakebit season all around and it probably ended Sunday.
25. Philadelphia Eagles (OFF, Previously 1,000-1): The Eagles are who we thought they were, it just took a weird path for us to figure it out.
26. Cincinnati Bengals (OFF, Previously OFF): Credit to this team for fighting hard down the stretch.
27. Los Angeles Rams (OFF, Previously OFF): They fired their coach with three days to prepare for their next game.
28. New York Jets (OFF, Previously OFF): Solid bounce-back effort after the biggest lay down of the season.
29. Chicago Bears (OFF, Previously OFF): Matt Barkley looks like a half-decent backup quarterback!
30. Jacksonville Jaguars (OFF, Previously OFF): Oddly enough the defense has turned things around pretty nicely.
31. San Francisco 49ers (OFF, Previously OFF): In second place for the No. 1 pick.
32. Cleveland Browns (OFF, Previously OFF): In the pole position for the No. 1 pick. | positive |
It could be the plot to a screwball mafia flick: the politician on his way to the White House has his shoes filled up with cement somewhere in New Jersey’s vast network of swamps, but rather than sleep with the fishes, he trudges out of the murk and just keeps right on campaigning, carrying the weight around with him door to door, fundraiser to fundraiser, rally to rally. His enemies can’t believe it, but in the end it just made him stronger.
Except this isn’t some straight to DVD Joe Pesci movie. The politician is Donald Trump and the cement in his shoes is Chris Christie. And not only was he going to win the Garden State before his opponents conceded the fight, but the early polls show him within striking distance of Hillary Clinton.
Because in New Jersey—a blue collar, blue state—the most unpopular man can attach himself to the de facto Republican nominee and not cause any damage at all among his Republican supporters. In New Jersey, in fact, such an event can be followed by speculation that, for the first time in 24 years, the state might go red in the general.
What will happen tomorrow in the primary here seems mostly settled.
As it stands now, Clinton leads Bernie Sanders by more than 20 points in the Real Clear Politics average. And for Trump, well, it’s all over but the crying.
Ahead of Ted Cruz and John Kasich bowing out of the primary, Trump was leading by over 40 points.
This is a miracle of sorts, considering Trump’s central booster in the Garden State is, for the first time since he became governor, less popular than the state legislature he likes to push around.
According to a Monmouth University poll released Monday, only 27 percent of residents approve of Chris Christie’s performance. Sixty-three percent disapprove. Among registered voters, the numbers are even worse: 65 percent of them disapprove of the job he’s doing. Seventy-nine percent think Christie cares more about his own political career than being governor. Sixty-eight percent believe Christie only endorsed Trump because he wants a political appointment if he gets elected president.
These numbers are historically bad for Christie, but, somehow, they don’t bleed over to Trump.
Among voters polled by Monmouth University, 42 percent said they’d be less likely to vote for Trump if Christie was chosen as his running mate—but even more, 48 percent, said it wouldn’t made a difference to them.
In other words, New Jersey hates Christie like he’s a Staten Island native cast to star on Jersey Shore, but more importantly, nothing matters.
Fatally wounded from Bridgegate, the 2014 scandal involving the closure of access lanes to the George Washington Bridge, Christie set out to run for Republican nomination anyway, announcing his candidacy two weeks after Trump announced his, on June 30, 2015, from his high school gymnasium in Livingston.
The campaign lasted all of 226 days.
By mid-February, after a crushing loss in New Hampshire, he was out. By late February, Christie had endorsed Trump, despite having spent the last few weeks of his campaign criticizing him and arguing he was unfit to be president.
“They don’t care that Christie is running Trump’s transition team,” Art Gallagher, who runs MoreMonmouthMusings, a locally-focused, conservative website, told The Daily Beast. “They don’t know what that means, for the most part, and they don’t care about it.”
Steve Lonegan, a failed congressional candidate who served as Cruz’s state chairman here, said Christie’s support has been overshadowed by the intense frustration Trump has managed to unleash and channel for his own benefit.
“I see Trump’s popularity as a reaction from the Republican base to the failures of the Republican Party after the 2010 election, winning Congress, and the whole Tea Party movement—conservatives like me—being told, ‘If you give us control of Congress, we’ll cut Obamacare, we’ll cut spending,’ and they didn’t do it!” Lonegan said.
Cruz, he explained, suffered because he came from Washington—despite his reputation for wreaking havoc there. Conversely, he said, Trump—like Christie before him—manages to convey an outsider attitude that appeals to the working glass.
“They think if Trump gets elected,” Gallagher added, “maybe he’ll take Christie with him.”
And that’s not an impossibility, considering Trump finds himself down just four points behind Hillary Clinton, 38 to 34, in a poll released by Monmouth University on May 31.
Four points, in a state so blue it hasn’t picked a Republican president since 1992. Four points, the kind of gap you can close with a good week or two.
Though, maybe I’m getting ahead of myself. People always think Jersey will be at play, and people are always wrong.
“It happens not only in every cycle, but every statewide election,” Patrick Murray, Monmouth University’s pollster, told The Daily Beast of the speculation.
“If we look back eight years ago, to late February, when John McCain had sewn up the Republican nomination, but Obama and Clinton were still fighting it out, McCain was actually ahead of Obama in a few polls at that time in New Jersey,” he said. “In fact, Obama didn’t even get a consistent double-digit lead until sometime in mid-September, and, of course, ended up winning by 15 points.”
Murray—and Lonegan—said that, once Clinton becomes the Democratic nominee, as she’s expected to, the considerable swath of undecided voters (28 percent) are likely to rally behind her.
“We always love big personalities here,” Matt Rooney, the conservative publisher of Save Jersey, a politics website, told The Daily Beast.
When it comes to Trump’s embrace of Christie, he said it’s all about power. “They look at it as, ‘huh, he took a big mouth like Chris Christie, an insider, and made him his boy.’ They love it. That’s what they want him to do with everybody in D.C.”
Not that the feeling extends to him, personally. “I’m gonna go in on Tuesday and I’m gonna vote for either Cruz’s delegates or Kasich’s delegates,” Rooney said. “I understand it’s over, but I just can’t bring myself to hand him the keys to the Republican Party.” | positive |

About a month ago I wrote a post about how I needed to take control of my exceedingly busy and stressful life. I’m happy to report that I’ve decided to take my future by the horns and wrestle it in the direction that I think is right for me and my family. I’ve asked for and have been granted a one-year, unpaid leave of absence from my job as a tenured college professor and department Chairman – starting in May 2013 I will be “unemployed,” and I couldn’t be more excited (yes, call me crazy!). Will it turn into a permanent leave? I’m not sure yet, and what happens over the next 9-10 months will probably make that decision for me.
My main motivator for taking this step is that I love writing this blog, and it has grown to the point where I actually consider it to be a job rather than a hobby (and a very time-consuming one at that – in a good way!). I’m also motivated by the fact that I love working with runners – I enjoy small things like assisting people with shoe choices, educating about running science, and it is amazingly gratifying to have someone thank you for helping them overcome an injury or reach a new fitness milestone. I also enjoy the gait analysis work I have been doing lately with a local therapist, and I’ve come to realize that I cannot build upon this type of work at my current place of employment (long story…).
I won’t lie and say that this decision doesn’t involve some amount of risk (perhaps a lot of it!), but I would never forgive myself if I didn’t move forward with it. I will be taking a major income hit by taking this step (at least at the outset), but I don’t live an extravagant life (if you exclude my shoe collection!), and for me happiness is more important than money. If I can make do financially by pursuing what I love I will be more than satisfied. I’m now in a very good and happy place, and I’m as energized as I’ve been in a long, long time.
How have I reached this point? Because of you! All of the people who read and share my ramblings have shown me that it is possible to make a living as an on-line writer (this topic is something I’m also very passionate about and I need to write about more often!). You have shown me that good things can happen when you follow your passion, even if it seems like utter lunacy at the outset. Blogs don’t survive without support from their readership, and for that reason I am indebted to everyone who takes a few moments out of their day to read and share what I write here.
Thank you – your support means more than you can imagine, and I’ll be needing it even more in the coming year!

At the Florida Virtual School, the largest Internet public school in the country, more than 50,000 students are taking courses this year. School authorities in Traverse City, Mich., hope to use online courses provided by the Michigan Virtual School next fall to educate several hundred students in their homes, alleviating a classroom shortage.
The other model is a full-time online charter school like the Wisconsin Virtual Academy. About 90,000 children get their education from one of 185 such schools nationwide. They are publicly financed, mostly elementary and middle schools.
Many parents attracted to online charters have previously home-schooled their children, including Mrs. Weldie. Her children — Isabel, Harry and Eleanor, all in elementary school — download assignments and communicate intermittently with their certified teachers over the Internet, but they also read story books, write in workbooks and do arithmetic at a table in their basement. Legally, they are considered public school students, not home-schoolers, because their online schools are taxpayer-financed and subject to federal testing requirements.
Despite enthusiastic support from parents, the schools have met with opposition from some educators, who say elementary students may be too young for Internet learning, and from teachers, unions and school boards, partly because they divert state payments from the online student’s home district.
Other opposition has arisen because many online charters contract with for-profit companies to provide their courses. The Wisconsin academy, for example, is run by the tiny Northern Ozaukee School District, north of Milwaukee, in close partnership with K12 Inc., which works with similar schools in 17 states.
The district receives annual state payments of $6,050 for each of its 800 students, which it uses to pay teachers and buy its online curriculum from K12.
Saying he suspected “corporate profiteering” in online schooling, State Senator John Lehman, a Democrat who is chairman of the education committee, last month proposed cutting the payments to virtual schools to $3,000 per student. But during legislative negotiations that proposal was dropped.

Jeff Kwitowski, a K12 spokesman, said, “We are a vendor and no different from thousands of other companies that provide products and services to districts and schools.”

Pennsylvania has also debated the financing of virtual charter schools. Saying such schools were draining them financially, districts filed suit in 2001, portraying online schools as little more than home schooling at taxpayer expense. The districts lost, but the debate has continued.
Last year, the state auditor found that several online charters had received reimbursements from students’ home districts that surpassed actual education costs by more than $1 million. Now legislators are considering a bill that would in part standardize the payments at about $5,900 per child, said Michael Race, a spokesman for the State Department of Education.
The state auditor in Kansas last year raised a different concern, finding that the superintendent of a tiny prairie district running an online school had in recent years given 130 students, and with them $106,000 in per-pupil payments, to neighboring districts that used the students’ names to pad enrollment counts. The auditor concluded that the superintendent had carried out the subterfuge to compensate the other districts for not opening their own online schools.
“Virtual education is a growing alternative to traditional schooling,” Barbara J. Hinton, the Kansas auditor, said in a report. Ms. Hinton found that virtual education had great potential because students did not have to be physically present in a classroom. “Students can go to school at any time and in any place,” she said.
But, she added, “this also creates certain risks to both the quality of the student’s education and to the integrity of the public school system.”
Rural Americans have been attracted to online schooling because it allows students even on remote ranches to enroll in arcane courses like Chinese.
In Colorado, school districts have lost thousands of students to virtual schools, and, in 2006, a state audit found that one school, run by a rural district, was using four licensed teachers to teach 1,500 students across the state. The legislature responded last year by establishing a new division of the Colorado Department of Education to tighten regulation of online schools.

The Wisconsin Virtual Academy has 20 certified, unionized teachers, and 800 students who communicate with one another over the Internet.
The school has consistently met federal testing requirements, and many parents, including Mrs. Weldie, expressed satisfaction with the K12 curriculum, which allows her children to move through lessons at their own pace, unlike traditional schools, where teachers often pause to take account of slower students. Isabel Weldie, 5, is in kindergarten, “But in math I’m in first grade,” she said during a break in her school day recently.
“That’s what I love most about this curriculum,” Mrs. Weldie said. “There’s no reason for Isabel to practice counting if she can already add.”
In 2004, the teachers’ union filed a lawsuit against the school, challenging the expansive role given to parents, who must spend four to five hours daily leading their children through lesson plans and overseeing their work. Teachers monitor student progress and answer questions in a couple of half-hour telephone conferences per month and in interactive online classes using conferencing software held several times monthly.
A state court dismissed the case, but in December an appeals court said the academy was violating a state law requiring that public school teachers be licensed.
The ruling infuriated parents like Bob Reber, an insurance salesman who lives in Fond du Lac and whose 8-year-old daughter is a student at the academy. “According to this ruling, if I want to teach my daughter to tie her shoes, I’d need a license,” Mr. Reber said.
Not so, said Mary Bell, the union president: “The court did not say that parents cannot teach their children — it said parents cannot teach their children at taxpayers’ expense.” | positive |
Public Consultation on Proposed Changes to Copyright Regime in Singapore
Introduction Copyright is a form of intellectual property right which gives creators and producers of creative works the right to control specific uses of their works for a limited period of time. A good copyright regime balances between providing exclusive rights as an incentive to create and disseminate new creative works, and providing appropriate access to those works for the benefit of other creators and society at large. This balance encourages the creation and dissemination of knowledge and ultimately contributes to the larger drive to foster innovation. Copyright law has to be regularly updated in order to maintain this delicate balance in a rapidly changing world. Significant technological and market changes over the last decade due to the digital era have reshaped the ways in which content is created, distributed, and accessed. Learn more about why copyright matters to you here.
Review of the Copyright Act MinLaw and IPOS are reviewing the copyright regime with the objectives of ensuring that it has rights which are reasonable, clear and capable of being efficiently transacted.
The following topics reflect MinLaw’s and IPOS’ proposals on possible changes to the Singapore copyright regime. Read the full consultation paper here.
Proposals 1. Establishing a voluntary copyright registration system 2. Granting creators default ownership of certain commissioned works 3. Setting an expiry date for protection of unpublished works 4. Attributing creators whenever their works are used 5. Providing information to help the creator-publisher/producer relationship 6. Protecting certain exceptions from being restricted by contracts 7. Strengthening the general “fair use” exception 8. Enabling the use of orphan works 9. Unlocking the potential of text and data mining 10. Facilitating educational uses by non-profit educational institutions 11. Facilitating the work of libraries and archives 12. Facilitating the work of museums and galleries 13. Adjusting existing provisions for print-disabled users 14. Allowing the use of non-patent literature in patent search and examination work 15. Increasing the availability of materials on official government registers 16. Updating the list of allowable circumventions of technological protection measures
There has been public interest in how this review will cover the use of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). VPN is a neutral technology with many different and legitimate uses, apart from accessing geo-blocked content. As there is currently no international legal consensus or approach on such practices, we are not making any recommendations regarding the use of VPNs but wish to gather the views of various stakeholders for our consideration.
(Updated on 26 Aug 2016)
Invitation for feedback Your views are important and will help us in designing our future copyright regime in a way that takes into account the interests of all — creators, rights owners, users, businesses, and future creators.
The consultation period will run from Tuesday 23 August 2016 to Monday 24 October 2016. Instructions for providing detailed comments in writing may be found in Part IV of the full consultation paper (link above).
Alternatively, you may wish to provide feedback through our online forms. Please let us know whether you are:
A writer, artist, musician, or other type of creator.
A business that publishes or produces copyrighted works.
A member of the general public.
A business that licences or uses copyrighted works.
Interested in all recommendations covered in the Review.
MinLaw and IPOS are also organising a briefing on the public consultation through a public town hall event on Thursday 8 September 2016, 2 PM. The briefing is open to members of the public. Registration for the first public townhall has now been closed. Thank you.
Given the level of interest for the first public townhall briefing, MinLaw and IPOS are considering organising a second public townhall briefing on Thursday 6 October 2016, 2PM. If you are interested, please register your interest here.
(Updated on 7 September 2016)
Following feedback from the public, the consultation exercise will be extended by two weeks. It will now close on Monday 7 November 2016 instead. We invite all interested parties to provide responses by then. (Updated on 17 October 2016) | positive |

Earlier this month, the Ukrainian parliament approved four bills intended to decommunize Ukraine. Critics slammed the legislation, claiming that it would limit free speech and cause unnecessary friction between Kiev and some parts of the country’s eastern regions. Supporters, however, insist that the terms of the bills align with international norms and are necessary to Ukraine’s adoption of pro-Western reforms.
The debate over whether these four bills are valid need not be so fraught. One simple way to evaluate their merit is to focus on whether they promote two key values: freedom and justice. If they do, then they make good laws. If they do not, then the laws should be amended or thrown out. And if they make tradeoffs between freedom and justice, which is often the case, then that’s just life.
Americans and western Europeans generally consider Nazism as one of the greatest evils, much more so than communism. But for Ukrainians and many eastern Europeans, the two were equally destructive forces. According to a study by the Moscow-based Institute of Demography, Ukraine suffered close to 15 million “excess deaths” between 1914 and 1948. Of that total, about 7.5 million were attributable to Soviet policies and 6.5 million to the Nazis. According to the French historian Nicolas Werth, the Stalinist regime killed some 12 million of its own people. The Ukrainian share of Soviet deaths was more than twice its share of the total Soviet population. As the Russian writer Viktor Shenderovich recently put it, “The number of crimes committed in Ukraine under Communist flags is much larger than that committed under German Nazi flags.”

The assumption underlying the bills, therefore, is that since communism and Nazism were equally evil ideologies, condemnation of one necessarily entails, both logically and morally, condemnation of the other. If de-Nazification is crucial, so too is decommunization.

Shure Open Back Headphones - Let High Quality Music Be Heard - MigrateMusicNews Home About Write for Us Contact Artists Awards Events News New Releases Musical Instruments Reviews Product Reviews Breaking Post Top Ad Monday, May 25, 2020 Home Musical Instrument Reviews Shure Open Back Headphones - Let High Quality Music Be Heard Shure Open Back Headphones - Let High Quality Music Be Heard Abdul Wahab 8:46 AM ,Musical Instrument Reviews People take music personally, and that’s not too far from being a fact. Talk to people about their music choice, and they will love to speak for hours. Do you know how many people love music? Well, just the absence of headphones jacks from modern smartphones has divided the world smartphone buying population into two groups. One has adjusted fast while the other group just does not want to use wireless headphones because they lack quality apparently. If you love music, and more importantly, high-quality music, you are sure to love the open back headphones from Shure. Open Back SRH1840 Headphones from Shure This particular pair of headphones is meant for audiophiles, or at least the people who do not like to compromise on the quality of music they hear. It is, as clear from the name, open-back design with earpieces completely covering your ears when you wear them. As per the company, they are meant for professionals, so you can attach them with a variety of devices. Using them with your smartphones only will not do justice to their price and quality. The use of steel and aluminum means the company is serious about the durability of its product. Best Features of the SRH 1840 Headphones The first thing you are going to love about them is the design. They are designed not only for great listening but also for great comfort while listening. The padded design with recovery foam ensures you feel no pressure on your ears even after hours of use. The use of steel for the mesh and aluminum for the rest of the body makes the headphones look and feel premium. The headphones have neodymium drivers that are large at 40mm to ensure you hear the bass, treble, and all other components of the sound clearly. The cable has been designed carefully with two side attachment options. You can detach the cable completely from the headphones to store it nicely in your pocket or bag. The earpads are replaceable, so when you think they have become sweaty after months of use, you can change them and make your headphones like new again. The open-back design of the headphones ensures that there is naturalness and depth to the sound when you hear music. Buy it Pros • Steel grill and aluminum body for maximum sturdiness. • Steel frames on drivers for undistorted sound despite high sound levels. • Padded earpieces for comfortable listening for several uninterrupted hours. • Open back design adds depth to the sound. • Earpieces can swivel so the headphones are comfortable on any head shape. • Padded headband for added comfort. • Detachable cable for convenience of storage. Cons • The foam on the earpieces does not seem very durable and long-lasting. • Earpieces can’t swivel horizontally, which makes them unusable for DJs. • The design looks quite basic. Buying Advice When buying these headphones, you have to make sure that they meet your needs. First of all, they are meant for professionals. If you are looking for some good music listening on your smartphone without too many intricate details of the sound, you can go with other options. Secondly, if you like in-ear headphones for their small size, these headphones are not for you. DJs might have a problem using them because the earpieces to not swivel on the x-axis. If you like hearing high-quality music for hours, you will love these. Buying Guide – How to Buy the Best Headphones • Focus on Comfort Features One of the factors that new headphones buyers often overlook is the comfort feature. They are lost so much in the sound that they can’t find the forest for the tree. You can’t hear music for as long as you want if your headphones start hurting your head and ears within an hour. So, look for headphones that have proper padding not only on the earpieces but the headband as well. • Look for Adjustment Options There is a difference between adjustment features and comfort. Padded earpieces and headbands are not enough if your headphones don’t fit your head size and shape comfortably in the first place. So, the first thing you want to look at is the adjustment features in the earpieces. If the earpieces swivel vertically and horizontally, you have got the perfect pair. At least, you should be looking for swivel in one direction. You should also be able to adjust the size of the headband. • The Driver Size The bigger the size of the driver, the better the sound quality that will fall in your ears. You have to look for large drivers. If you are getting something close to 40mm, you can be sure that you are going for the right headphones. In addition to that, you might also want to see the drive material. Your drivers should be made of sturdy materials, ensuring the linearity and consistency in the production of sound. For example, the ones on these Shure headphones are made of aluminum, which is a great choice. • The Cable Attachment The biggest gripe that wire headphone users usually have is the cable attachment. They are listening to their favorite music when an accidental tug throws their headphone flying in the air. Of course, this results in big damages and the headphones becomes useless after some time. Look for double cable attachment i.e. cables that attach and detach to the headphones on both sides. Even if you tug the cable accidentally, it will just come out of the headphones. This type of cable attachment makes storing headphones easy too. Final Thoughts These headphones from Shure are definitely a great purchase. You can say that based on the comments that customers have left after using these headphones. They do a great job in that their price. While they are made for professionals so you can expect them to sound great, the added comfort features make them light on your head and ears when you hear music for several hours. If you are looking to give a gift to an aspiring audiophile, these headphones are definitely a great choice.

“We’ve been waiting for a couple years,” Mr. Medenica said in a telephone interview. “We’re thrilled that this ruling has now come down and confirmed that our legal analysis was correct all along.”
As a result of the new policy, New York Lottery officials said they planned to add two additional jackpot games, Powerball and Sweet Million, to its current online lottery subscription service, and would allow New York residents to buy single-draw tickets online for the first time.
Mr. Medenica said it would take several months for the lottery to finalize the new offerings, and he said officials would “take a very cautious initial approach” in rolling out additional online options.
Michael Jones, the superintendent of the Illinois Lottery, said the request for clarification was prompted by research the state commissioned several years ago that indicated online sales could drive up participation. “When you look at the Internet, which is what everybody uses these days to buy everything, it seemed like a very, very logical thing to use the Internet to increase the player base,” Mr. Jones said. “States were in dire financial problems — the ability to use the lottery to raise revenue in a nontax way was a significant thing for states to do.”
He also said that online sales would enable the lottery to regulate purchases. “Right now we can’t guard against someone walking into a lottery retailer and buying too many tickets and behaving excessively,” Mr. Jones said. “Now with credit card purchases, we can guard against excessive play.”
Illinois could begin selling lottery tickets online in as soon as three months, he said.
The District of Columbia and Nevada have both approved limited forms of Internet gambling, and New Jersey has been considering legislation allowing sports betting and other forms of Internet gambling.
Steven Grossman, the Massachusetts state treasurer and the chairman of the state’s Lottery Commission, called the opinion a “turbocharged opportunity to engage new markets.”

“This will put additional pressure on Congress and others to allow online poker and other Internet gambling,” Mr. Grossman said.
Estimates of the size of the online gambling industry vary widely, from as low as $6 billion to as high as $100 billion. But even at the lower end, Mr. Grossman said, “that’s tens of billions of dollars that goes offshore.”
In a separate request in July, Senators Harry Reid, Democrat of Nevada, and Jon Kyl, Republican of Arizona, asked the Justice Department to clarify its position on Internet gambling, seeking either to affirm that federal law prohibits gambling over the Internet or to make sure that Congress has a role in drafting any expansion of online betting.
In a reply letter that was also issued Friday, the Justice Department said that while the new policy “differs from the department’s previous interpretation of the Wire Act, it reflects the department’s position in Congressional testimony at the time the Wire Act was passed in 1961.”

The new policy merely reverses the Justice Department’s longstanding position that all forms of online gambling are illegal in the United States. It does not necessarily pave the way for national rules governing online gambling.
But experts in gambling law said Saturday that the new policy does imply that states can band together to allow gambling across state borders. The exception would be online sports betting, which is explicitly prohibited under federal law.
“The next step,” said Mark Hichar, a partner and head of the gaming law group at the law firm Edwards Wildman in Boston, “could be for states to enter into compacts with each other to have interstate Internet wagering,” as some do now for horse racing.
The decision was cheered by states that have been contemplating gambling for the first time. But some gambling interest groups, like the American Gaming Association, which represents casino operators and makers of gambling equipment, said the opinion makes clear the need for a federal law establishing consistent regulatory standards.
“This is quite a Christmas present,” said I. Nelson Rose, a distinguished senior professor at Whittier Law School and a consultant to gambling companies and governments. “It says, ‘Keep it in your state and it’s legal.’ Given the continuing budget crisis, and so many states looking for ways to raise money, it’s really a major decision.”

Virginia A. Seitz, an assistant attorney general in the Justice Department’s office of legal counsel, wrote in the opinion that the prohibition in the Wire Act of using interstate communications for gambling applies only to betting on a “sporting event or contest.”
As long as the gambling operator and the customer are within the same state, the opinion says, and the betting activity does not include sporting events, a state’s own laws apply. Another federal law, the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006, made it illegal for financial institutions to process payments for online wagers.
Taken together, the two laws allowed the Justice Department to invoke its authority over interstate communications as a means of blocking all Internet gambling.
Online gambling has been a focus in the Justice Department for years, but it burst into public view in April, when federal prosecutors charged the operators of three of the most popular online poker sites with fraud and money laundering.
The three sites, Full Tilt Poker, PokerStars and Absolute Poker, are based in Antigua and the Isle of Man, where online gambling is legal. That had made it difficult for American authorities to crack down on the operations, which had millions of United States customers.
But the Justice Department charged that the companies had used United States banks to process their transactions, violating the 2006 law that governed payment processing.
Those payment restrictions do not apply to transactions within a single state, however. With the ruling that the Wire Act applies only to sports betting, the way is clear for in-state online poker and other games.
Some gambling experts believed that the Justice Department’s position that the Wire Act prevented any Internet gambling conflicted with a federal appeals court decision, and therefore the new opinion simply confirmed what was already law.
But states have been reluctant to rely on the appeals court decision, handed down in 2002 by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in New Orleans, because, in addition to the Justice Department’s continued crackdown, other federal and state court opinions offered conflicting directions.

The Justice Department previously tried to crack down on Internet gambling by going after companies that facilitated advertising for the gambling sites. In December 2007, Microsoft, Google and Yahoo paid a combined $31.5 million to settle federal charges that they promoted illegal gambling by serving ads for the gambling operations to other Web sites. | positive |
Yenna Meeening Yenna Meeening Friday, August 2, 2013 Crowd sourced decisions, anyone? With the DRS being lambasted by everyone these days, especially in light of some horrendous decisions in the ongoing Ashes, here's an idea that the ICC could consider. Crowd-sourcing umpiring decisions. Let's face it. Real-time media like twitter has cricket fans/commentators/ex-cricketers pouring over opinions about the nature of a decision(out/not out) the moment they catch it live anywhere - stadium, television, internet, etc. They opine their own POVs after watching replays/snicko/hawkeyes. And this operates in fantastical real-time. So, why not make use of it? The idea I think is for ICC to invest in such a decision making mechanism that lets users vote on every decision *only* when given an option. Of course it goes without saying that everyone gets only one vote per decision. Some points to consider: 1. What if there are not enough voters? 2. What if you can "fix" the outcome by hiring a load of people to work for you? 3. How quickly? (1) I doubt if this would be the case given that these days most(okay, I don't have a statistic to back this up) of the cricket watching public spends time online too. Also, the commentators, ex-cricketers are all active in this space as well. (2) Well, I think there are enough mechanisms already to fight this - like assigning ratings to users based on their past voting history. A good start to such a scheme could be to enlist ex-cricketers, commentators - who are *trusted* - and eventually rope in the general public. (3) Say 30-40 seconds should be good enough once the replays/hawkeye/snicko show up on TV. Umpires seem to need this time anyways in the current DRS scenario. Of course, this system is far from perfect but atleast the idea of a single decision making authority making a blunder could possibly be alleviated. And why shouldn't people have a say? It's their game too after all. Posted by Manojh at Friday, August 02, 2013 No comments: Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to Pinterest Friday, April 13, 2012 Do we actually cherish photos? 533, 345, 478 , approaching thousand... The numbers are the sizes of the photo albums posted on Picassa, Facebook and other online photo repositories that I am privileged to see. The sizes are colossal, the events are diverse - friends meetup, baby shower, baby born, marriage, random trip, random clicking, etc. On any normal non-album viewing day, I probably have to register about 40-50 images of the surrounding milieu on my retina (I am not going to scientifically prove the validity of this claim). But 300s and 400s is a tad too many, good enough to create retinal chokage. I can't help but feel exhausted around the 40th or 50th photo (see what I did there?). To alleviate boredom, I then switch to thumbnail view of the album to quickly scan through photos. That way I can completely ignore one set of similar looking photos and quickly shift focus to the next set of similar looking photos. Our eyes are so powerful to grasp these differences, you see. In one instance, a friend of mine actually posted their honeymoon photos which had detailed shots of the interior of the cottage that they were staying in, including the restrooms. Apparently, when they entered it, it was all so neat and nicely laid out. But let's not kid ourselves here, this is no Burj Al Arab's Royal Suite. After the viewing session is over, I get pings on chat - "Machi, endha photo irukkardhuliye range?" or "Check 186th photo, andha scenery chance eh illa" or "Dei..andha photo la avan semma comedy". The responses to such questions/observations undoubtedly lie in the assumption of me having had a whole-hearted viewing of the album and that the answers are at the tip of my typing hands. But I know that's not true. So, then begins the unenviable task of second-viewing of the album, looking for specifics. Especially the questions concerning photo numbers are tricky because online albums don't number their photos in the thumbnail view(a feature which ideally you would want). So, now it turns into a math problem that I have to solve. "Hmm...5 photos in a row, so.. 5 3s 15, 5 7s 35, 37th row, okay 186.." Let's set the facts straight, we are in an era of uninhibited clicking. It's so mandatory these days that you aren't ready to buy a phone that doesn't have a camera in it(the phone-activity on the phone forms hardly 1% of its usage). The point-and-shoot-ers and DSLR-ers are running amok with the things that they can do, especially the latter, whose actions were hilariously captured by a witty blogger. And the results are there to see. "Cha..I shook it..". Click. "I closed my eyes..". Click. "I want my side view..". Click. "I am not in the centre..". Click. "Align me in the corner..". Click. "Need another one, just the bust". Click. "Machi..Semma kevalama irukku..". Click. "One more..". Click. "Just one more.." Click. "Last one..". Click. If a professional photographer is hired to capture the essence of an occasion, you would expect him to go about doing this business of serial-clicking and finally filtering out the ones that captured the best moments. Logical indeed. But regular lazy people that we are, we don't have the patience to sit and sift through all those that we have clicked. So, as long as my Picassa account allows, I shall just load it up with all that I have clicked and when I am out of space, I shall create another google account and start doing the same. I shall also send these albums to my friends and families for their viewing, ignoring the fact that the sheer number of photos don't cover up for the lack of any sense of aesthetic appeal that the album might have or the weariness that the repetitive nature of the photos might cause. This is not a polemic owing to my not being a part of some of these photo albums, though I don't deny it partly is. But let's face it, how many of us are so full of enthu to repeatedly look at albums of events that even you were a part of? Most of our viewing happens during the trip/event itself on the 2.5'' - 3.5'' camera LCD screen and towards the end we are already full of it. And finally, it's all "I'll just go home and dump everything online". I sometimes wish we get back to the good old roll-camera days when albums were a physical possession not a virtual one. We took photos because we wanted to not because we simply could. There was a price associated with photos, literally and figuratively. But now, it's a case of abundant availability resulting in negligible value. There's simply no time nor interest to put an effort into making an album minimal these days, convey it's essence to the people who you want to send it to. It's not as if we did all this before the advent of the digital camera. We didn't have to maybe because we didn't we an option but then we were content with whatever limited number of images we could create. Why can't any event be captured in 40 to 50 different frames? Isn't that enough to gauge how it went and check out the people and the places they were in? For now, photos is just "yet another online thing we do".

Bravo! Quite an achievement for mainstream media, considering competition all round. Just begs the question on why we never saw a tweet/blog/news report that went "Received request from a corporate media manager to broker for them regarding a cabinet post. Refused.

The point of interest is a script my_good_work written in your favorite programming/scripting language. I have taken the example of a Dtrace script and so my_good_work becomes my_good_work.d for this post. I describe how you do this in a UNIX based OS (Solaris to be precise) Demonizable scripts need to be placed in /etc/init.d/. In my case, I created the boot-driver script dtrace which does nothing but sets up the command line for running my_good_work.d with its runnable parameters. The dtrace script plugs into the OS's boot framework. You need to specify actions that need to be taken when the script is executed with start and stop as command line arguments. For example, I did (in bash) case "start" // start my_good_work.d script // /usr/sbin/dtrace -s ~/my_good_work.d case "stop" // kill `pgrep dtrace` esac You can find a plethora of examples to do this in the /etc/init.d/ folder. After this, you need to create a hard link to dtrace and place it in one of /etc/rcN.d/ folders. It really doesn't matter what N is (as far as I know). You need to create the hardlink as [S|K]NNdtrace. S - Use this if you want to execute the script during startup K - Use this if you want to execute the kill the script during shutdown NN - Sequence number that is used to specify the order in which the scripts are executed. In my case, I did # ln /etc/init.d/dtrace /etc/rc2.d/S09dtrace And you are done! Note: - Creating a copy and renaming it instead of creating a hard link will most likely won't work, neither will a soft link - You need to be root for doing this entire exercise, because messing with boot options is not a joke!

Kei Kamara
Norwich City have signed striker Kei Kamara from Sporting Kansas City on loan, subject to the Sierra Leone international gaining a work permit.
Canaries manager Chris Hughton has been keen to add attacking options this month and has failed with two bids for Celtic's Gary Hooper.
Kamara, 28, scored 11 goals in 33 games for the MLS side last season.
Hughton said: "It is an exciting challenge both for him and us here at the club to prove his talent."
Kei Kamara's MLS career Club Games Goals Kansas City (2009-12) 98 31 Houston Dynamo (2008-09) 32 7 San Jose (2008) 29 10 Columbus Crew (2006-07) 36 5
Kamara will join the Canaries until 6 May, subject to receiving immigration clearance.
Norwich could also be set to sign another forward, as BBC Radio Norfolk understands that Leeds striker Luciano Becchio is discussing personal terms with the Canaries.
The 29-year-old Argentine has scored 19 goals from 31 games in all competitions this season.
He handed in a transfer request last week after failing to agree terms on a new deal at Elland Road.
Norwich, 13th in the Premier League, have failed to scored in their last three games, including a 1-0 home defeat in the FA Cup against Blue Square Bet Premier side Luton Town on Saturday.
But City boss Chris Hughton is confident Kamara can make an impact at Carrow Road.
"I'm delighted to bring Kei to the football club, he has been one of Major League Soccer's best players over the last few seasons," said Hughton.
"There's no doubt it's a big jump to make into the Premier League.
He has been one of Major League Soccer's best players over the last few seasons Chris Hughton Norwich City manager
"Kei also adds some valuable competition upfront alongside the current striking options we have here at the club."
Kamara moved to the USA as a youngster and started his professional career with Columbus Crew.
He has been granted clearance to play by the relevant footballing authorities and the deal has been agreed between the two clubs and the MLS.
However, Kamara still requires approval from the UK Border Agency to work in the UK.
Hughton has insisted he is not worried about bringing in a player with no experience of English football and told BBC Radio Norfolk: "I don't think it's about the league they play in.
"We would always have to have good reasons for liking a particular player." | positive |

Adam Kokesh, the Iraq war veteran and host of the Internet radio program “Adam vs. The Man” who became a staunch opponent of the “war on terror” and who planned a peaceful armed march on Washington, D.C., on July 4, was disappeared in broad daylight while speaking at a Smoke Down Prohibition rally in Philadelphia May 18.
Kokesh’s kidnapping came at the hands of Philadelphia police and other LEOs (legally entitled to oppress) who dragged him off the stage just after he began to speak. A video of the incident shows Kokesh being dragged away without resisting. Arresting “authorities” initially claimed Kokesh was to be charged with resisting arrest. But it seems they realized it’s hard to resist arrest when your arrest is illegal, so they apparently changed the charges to “forcibly assaulted, resisted, opposed, impeded and interfered with officers and employees of the United States,” according to these documents. If that’s the case, then apparently standing with your hands up while an inept LEO tries to wrestle you to the ground is now “assault” in the eyes of a government that deems you a terrorist and then targets you for special “scrutiny” if you exercise your 1st Amendment guaranteed right of freedom of speech, claim to be a Tea Partier, hoard food and water, and/or support small government.
At a preliminary hearing on May 20, Kokesh and Smoke Down Prohibition rally organizer N.A. Poe, who was arrested along with Kokesh, were denied bail. I’m certain the irony that the seat of liberty — Philadelphia — is the site of the arrest of two people speaking at a legal rally in an area designated for free speech is lost on the LEOs who conducted and sanctioned the kidnapping.
But the kidnappings didn’t stop there. Members of The Panic Hour, a comedy and activism troupe based in Philadelphia that produces street videos and an online talk show hosted by Poe, attended the hearing. Afterward, they were followed to the City Hall rail station in Center City Philadelphia by LEOs. While waiting on the train, Panic Hour member Kyle Prouty was approached by Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority LEO Nicole Lawson, who illegally searched and then kidnapped Prouty. Video of Prouty’s arrest can be viewed here (warning, adult language).
The increasingly Federalized police forces across America are becoming bolder than even the Stazi, which at least used subterfuge, darkness and shadows more than overt force in the daylight. | positive |

PRP Hair Restoration PRP applications to the scalp for hair loss are one of the latest technologies available to people in the Atlanta area in search of a natural, minimally invasive option to thicken hair. PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma, which is the part of blood that contains mostly platelets. The PRP procedure in Atlanta, GA harvests your own blood, and isolates cells called platelets, which are rich in growth factors. The growth factors create a signaling cascade to the cells in the scalp to increase hair count, hair thickness and hair growth. PRP has been used in many countries around the world for years for the purposes of facial skin and hair rejuvenation, and is now available in the U.S. as an additional option to patients in Atlanta searching for PRP. The process is not recommended for everybody, and your doctor will determine whether it may be right for you. Results may vary among patients based on the body’s natural response to PRP, which will not be the same for all patients and cannot be predicted. Dr. Payman will create the optimal treatment plan and review your goals and expectations with you prior to the procedure. The procedure in Atlanta, GA involves no downtime, and takes approximately 30 minutes. Not all platelet harvesting procedures are the same! DERM CLINIC M.D. uses the Harvest Platelet Concentrate System which produces the highest number of platelets and growth factors among all the other systems available. Use of the Harvest system ensures a high platelet count, and maximizes the potential for hair growth and increases the impact of the procedure. The PRP procedure involves treatments usually once a month for the first 3-4 months, then every 6-12 months after, depending on the progress of hair growth and thickening. DERM CLINIC M.D. in Cumming & Atlanta, GA uses various techniques to make the PRP procedure as painless as possible, which our patients appreciate tremendously! FAQ’S What are the risks of PRP? Since PRP is using one’s own blood, it is virtually risk free. Minor risks involved include bruising, soreness, and mild swelling of the injection sites. How soon will I see results from PRP? Results from PRP take approximately 2-3 months to see. After 3-4 treatments, the physician will determine the frequency of necessary treatments and the effectiveness of the PRP treatment for the patient. Everybody varies and results are not consistent among all patients. Can I get PRP after hair restoration surgery? PRP is one of the best methods to maintain results from hair restoration and to “fertilize” the scalp for hair follicles. It is often used as a maintenance therapy for hair transplant patients. Does the PRP procedure hurt? There is some pain involved with the blood draw (the blood draw is identical to any other blood draw procedure) and there is stinging and burning associated with scalp injections. Our office is extremely advanced with regards to pain minimization techniques and we even offer sedation to patients extremely sensitive to PRP injections. We make the PRP procedure as minimally painful as possible with injections. How do I prepare for a PRP procedure? Avoid NSAIDS (Ibuprofen, aspirin, Aleve, Naproxen, etc) for 7 days prior to the procedure and 5 days after. Avoid alcohol, fish oil and vitamin E for 3 days prior to the procedure. Avoid all products other than gentle shampoo and conditioner applied to hair for 5-7 days prior to procedure. Avoid coloring hair for 7 days prior to procedure. BENEFITS OF PRP: PREVENT and slow down the rate of hair loss, thinning, hair shedding & hair fall. REGROW thinning hair thicker, fuller and healthier without relying on daily drugs or daily chemicals. BOOST the health & condition of the scalp naturally without harsh chemicals or drugs (eg oily or dry scalp conditions) ACTIVATE the regrowth of dormant hair follicles by encouraging the growth phase of your hair (anagen phase) REDUCE the requirement to take daily prescription medication & drugs to treat your hair loss.

reaction type catalyst 9727 – BDMAEE 菜单 Home Manufacture Application Technology Derivative Synthesis Supplier BDMAEE reaction type catalyst 9727 Published by BDMAEE on 2020-06-19 Overview: Name: Low-odor reaction type 9727 Alias: low odor reaction type 9727, catalyst 9727, low odor catalyst 9727, reaction type catalyst 9727, polyurethane amine catalyst 9727, low atomization catalyst, low atomization catalyst 9727, low atomization amine catalyst NT CAT9727 is a low odor reactive equilibrium catalyst. It is composed of several reactive tertiary amines. It has high activity and is composed of amines. Therefore, there is no concentration change or difference. such, The precise control of the amount of amine can be achieved during production, and the stability of the production process can be improved. Since the product is a fully reactive catalyst, it has good low odor and low atomization performance. Product Details: NT9727 is a colorless transparent to pale yellow liquid, which needs no preparation and is added directly. Its catalytic dosage is equivalent to solid amine. Since it is all composed of amines, there is no change or difference in concentration. In this way, precise control of the amount of amine can be achieved during production, and the stability of the production process can be improved. The five tertiary amines in NT9727 have different catalytic activities and properties. After scientific combination, they are used in the sponge foaming process. Compared with triethylenediamine, they have the advantages of balanced reaction and stable reaction. Thereby reducing the density gradient of the sponge, improving the quality of the cross-linking, reducing the amount of accumulation, and improving the performance of all aspects of the sponge. NT9727 has a surface active effect, which acts as an emulsifying and dispersing effect when the materials are mixed, so that the components, especially moisture, are distributed more evenly, so that the pore size becomes more uniform. At the same time, the heat can be dispersed to avoid excessive concentration, which has a significant anti-burning function. The manufacturer can adjust the ratio of water and water according to the situation, adjust the dosage appropriately, adjust the cell structure of the sponge, and adjust the hardness of the sponge. Use NT9727 instead of triethylenediamine. During the reaction, the ascent process becomes gentle and stable. In addition, NT9727 has a post-reaction type catalyst component, which accelerates the post-maturation of the sponge and forms quickly. The pass rate of the sponge is therefore greatly improved, reducing the cutting part of the sponge, which reduces the production cost of the sponge to a certain extent. The operating width of NT9727 for stannous octoate is very large, generally compared with triethylenediamine, the operating width of tin can be increased by +0.03. Using NT9727 at the same time can increase the adjustment range of TDI index. This may reduce the cost of TDI by adjusting the formulation appropriately. With NT9727, the damage to the sponge structure caused by the addition of stone powder can also be relieved to a certain extent. NT9727 is a low-atomization catalyst with low odor of sponge, which is an environmentally friendly product. NT9727 can be used for all flexible foams, the dosage is 1/3 of A-33. Catalyst 9727 Low odor catalyst 9727 Reactive catalyst 9727 Polyurethane amine catalyst 9727 Low atomizing catalyst Low atomizing catalyst 9727 Low atomizing amine catalyst Odorless catalyst 9727 Odorless amine catalyst 9727 Special catalyst 9727 use: NT CAT 9727 is mainly used as a balanced catalyst for polyurethane foam.

Longtime referee and coordinator Bobby Dibler to lead new program
Collaboration to include West Coast Conference, Big West Conference and Western Athletic Conference
By the Pac-12 Conference
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - The Pac-12 and the Mountain West have entered into a broad collaboration to manage their men's basketball officiating programs, the Conferences announced today. Longtime officiating coordinator Bobby Dibler will oversee the programs of both conferences and manage a top-level roster of regional and national officials.
Three other prominent western conferences, the West Coast Conference, the Big West Conference and Western Athletic Conference, will participate in the new collaboration's officiating training programs. The WCC and Big West have previously participated in Pac-12 training and with the participation of the Mountain West and WAC, the new collaboration brings a common approach to training to more officials.
Dibler has served as a Coordinator of Officiating for the Mountain West for the last 14 years and was in the same role with the Western Athletic Conference before that (1992-1998). Prior to his duties of coordinating officials for the two conferences, he worked 11 NCAA tournaments, three NCAA Final Fours and several NITs during a 20-year career as an official.
The collaboration will continue the two conferences' commitment to establish best-in-class officiating programs focusing on recruitment, training, evaluation and accountability. In addition, this new system ensures greater consistency of officiating across all Pac-12 and MWC games.
"Our objective is to provide the best officiating program for our teams and student-athletes," said Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott. "Under this new alliance, we will be better positioned to attract top lead officials, and to achieve the greatest consistency and accountability deserving of our excellent basketball programs. This alliance also allows us to further develop a rigorous training, evaluation and development program for the next generation of elite officials."
"The Mountain West is very excited about this new venture with the Pac-12 Conference and the overall goal of improving men's basketball officiating in both leagues should be readily apparent," said Craig Thompson, Commissioner of the Mountain West. "Bobby Dibler has decades of experience and we are confident that he will aptly build one of the best staffs in the country."
In addition to Dibler, the conferences will hire a deputy coordinator to support the evaluation and training functions of the program, a technology coordinator to manage the software and technology training of officials, and game graders to ensure proper evaluation of all officials.
Prior to the season, Dibler and staff will host a training clinic for all roster officials to review mechanics, game situations, rules knowledge and other key factors to ensure they are among the best trained in the country. The WCC, Big West, and WAC officials will join Pac-12 and MWC officials for this clinic, furthering the impact of the collaboration on officiating in the western United States.
Last season, 31 of the 98 officials working NCAA tournament games were officials in the Pac-12 and MWC. This new collaboration promises to offer these and the developing officials a wealth of best practices from which to learn.
"I am very humbled, but also very honored and excited to lead this effort," said Dibler. "For our officials, this is great opportunity to improve their officiating skills, maximize their schedule and reduce travel. I look forward to establishing a top preseason training program and outlining a clear communications process between all our officials, the conferences, and our coaches."
This regional approach to housing the officiating program is a new model for both Conferences, but matches the trend nationwide for using the best officials in multiple conferences throughout the year.
"Broader regional collaboration between conferences is a positive trend for the future of officiating, the game generally and, in particular, the conferences that participate in them," said John Adams, National coordinator of men's basketball officiating. | positive |

Published 4 years ago on December 12 By Kyle Cox Share Tweet We’ve already reviewed half of our 15 preseason [LINK] storylines from this summer, now let’s close out the list checking off the final eight questions that were answered during this football season. Storyline No. 8: Who will be the “guy” on defense? Jordan Brailford was the guy during Jim Knowles’ inaugural campaign in Stillwater. He should finish in the top 2 among Big 12 sack leaders before trying his hand at the NFL. He still leads the league in sacks per game. At one point, the fifth-year junior was on an historic pace and was on track to break Leslie O’Neal’s 1984 sack record, but he hasn’t recorded a sack in any of the last four games. He still sits at nine on the year (T-9th for a single season in OSU history). Against Missouri, Brailford will have a chance to go out on a good note, add a little more film to his pro resume and add to his OSU legacy. Storyline No. 7: Which WR will emerge as the No. 1 option? Kyle Porter wrote this original post and posited that Dillon Stoner was a good option or that there may not even be a WR1, but rather a lead option by committee. Elsewhere, he received a premonition that true sophomore Tylan Wallace would be the leading wideout. The latter proved to be true and it wasn’t even close. Tylan was targeted 136 times on an insane 31.6 percent of OSU balls credit toward a receiver, grabbed 79 catches for 1,408 yards and 11 TDs, earning a spot as one of three finalists for the Biletnikoff Award. Unfortunately, Bama, but expect Wallace to be squarely in the hunt in 2019. Storyline No. 6: Is OSU’s special teams fixed? ? Entering the postseason, Oklahoma State ranks 74th in special teams efficiency according to ESPN. This metric is based on the unit’s effect on scoring margin. That’s up from 126th (out of 130) where the 2017 group ended. So, I guess you could say there was improvement in that regard, but that third phase of the game was far from a strength for OSU and had plenty of ugly moments in 2018. With both Zac Sinor and Matt Hockett both out of eligibility, the Cowboys will look to reset with incoming Aussie punter Tom Hutton. Matt Ammendola suffered through another two-game skid this year and enters his senior season with the big leg of sophomore Jack McClure also on staff. OSU still does not have a full-time staffer in charge of special teams. Storyline No. 5: Can OSU keep its streak of 10-win seasons alive? Storyline No. 4: Can OSU Dispel its Bedlam Woes This Season? It was this close. OSU had the chance to take a late lead when Taylor Cornelius went for 2 but he missed a throw to his top target. Unfortunately, this is a historically one-sided in-state rivalry, not a game of horseshoes. Close don’t count. Maybe the best offense in America scores with two and half minutes to play with anyway and that missed throw doesn’t matter. Regardless, Oklahoma is 4-0 in Bedlam since Lincoln Riley moved to Norman. Storyline No. 3: How Will OSU Use Its Backup Quarterbacks in 2018? It wouldn’t. Yes, technically Keondre Wudtee did play. He went 2-for-5 for 25 yards and a score while mopping up against an FCS team and directional Bama. But after that, no other Oklahoma State quarterback took a snap other than Taylor Cornelius. We never got a look at Mr. Texas Football Spencer Sanders, the supposed signal-calling savior of Stillwater, or Dru Brown the grad transfer whose commitment then felt like a power move by Gundy and Yurcich, but now spawns befuddlement as to what the intentions were of all parties involved. Maybe it wouldn’t have mattered, but not taking advantage of his new four-game allowance during a 6-6 season, with two viable options for future QB, feels like a waste. Storyline No. 2: How will Jim Knowles’ 4-2-5 defense work? Let’s define “work.” If the goal was to create ample pressure on a opposing quarterbacks and see an uptick in sack numbers, then yes. It worked. For a good chunk of the season the Cowboys led the nation in sacks with soon-to-be-former OSU defensive end Jordan Brailford leading the way. The Pokes still enter bowl season T-5th averaging 3.3 sacks per game, nearly one more than last season’s average and this season’s 39 QB sacks ranks sixth all time in Stillwater. But the defense regressed statistically from Glenn Spencer’s final year. On a macro level, will this defensive system work at OSU? The jury will be deliberating on that one for the foreseeable future. The Cowboys had to replace a lot on defense, especially at safety (a hugely important chess piece in Knowles’ gameplan) and will lose even more from its D-line next year. The 4-2-5 didn’t set the Big 12 on fire in 2018, but we will need to give it some more time before we can call it an all-out failure. Storyline No. 1: Will 2018-19 be Justice Hill’s final season at Oklahoma State? Yes, not only did Justice decide to forego his final season at Oklahoma State, he will sit out of OSU’s bowl game with Missouri to focus on his upcoming pro career. It was an unceremonious ending to a career that, while celebrated, is still probably a bit underrated when you look at what he accomplished and the rare company he found himself among OSU tailbacks.

Image copyright University of Maine/ ClimateReanalyzer.org Image caption Temperatures on Christmas Eve at the North Pole could reach close to freezing on Christmas Eve 2016
Temperatures at the North Pole could be up to 20 degrees higher than average this Christmas Eve, in what scientists say is a record-breaking heatwave.
Climate scientists say these unseasonably warm weather patterns in the Arctic region are directly linked to man-made climate change.
Temperatures throughout November and December were 5C higher than average.
It follows a summer during which Arctic sea ice reached the second-lowest extent ever recorded by satellites.
Image copyright ESA/CPOM/LEEDS UNI Image caption Arctic sea ice extent is monitored and measured by satellite imaging
Dr Friederike Otto, a senior researcher at Oxford's Environmental Change Institute told BBC News that in pre-industrial times "a heatwave like this would have been extremely rare - we would expect it to occur about every 1,000 years".
Dr Otto added that scientists are "very confident" that the weather patterns were linked to anthropogenic climate change.
"We have used several different climate modelling approaches and observations," she told BBC News.
"And in all our methods, we find the same thing; we cannot model a heatwave like this without the anthropogenic signal."
Temperatures are forecast to peak on Christmas Eve around the North Pole - at near-freezing.
The warm air from the North Atlantic is forecast to flow all the way to the North Pole via Spitsbergen, giving rise to clouds that prevent heat from escaping.
And, as Dr Otto explained to BBC News, the reduction in sea ice is contributing to this "feedback loop".
"If the globe is warming, then the sea ice and ice on land [shrinks] then the darker water and land is exposed," she said.
"Then the sunlight is absorbed rather than reflected as it would be by the ice."
Forecasting models show that there is about a 2% chance of a heatwave event occurring every year.
"But if temperatures continue to increase further as they are now," said Dr Otto, "we would expect a heatwave like this to occur every other year and that will be a huge stress on the ecosystem."
Dr Thorsten Markus, chief of NASA's Cryospheric Sciences Laboratory, said the heatwave was "very, very unusual".
"The eerie thing is that we saw something quite similar (temperatures at the North Pole of about 0C in December) almost exactly a year ago," he told BBC News.
The freeze and thaw conditions are already making it difficult for reindeer to find food - as the moss they feed on is covered by hard ice, rather than soft, penetrable snow.
Asked if the conditions on Christmas Eve were likely to affect Santa's all-important journey, Dr Markus said he was confident that his sled would cope with the conditions.
He added: "Santa is most likely overdressed though. Maybe in the future we'll see him in a light jacket or plastic mac."

(CNN) Throngs of mourners gathered in Mecca early Friday just hours after Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz al Saud died. He was 90.
Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz was appointed as the new king, state television reported.
The announcement of Abdullah's death comes several weeks after the state-run Saudi Press Agency said he was suffering from pneumonia and had been admitted to the hospital
Services will be held Friday afternoon at the Imam Turki Bin Abdullah Grand Mosque in Riyadh, and many world leaders are likely to pay their respects.
Jordan's King Abdullah cut short his visit to Davos, and is heading to Riyadh, according to a Jordanian government source.
"King Abdullah's life spanned from before the birth of modern Saudi Arabia through its emergence as a critical force within the global economy and a leader among Arab and Islamic nations," U.S. President Barack Obama said in a statement.

He praised Abdullah's role in sponsoring the Arab Peace Initiative, which attempts to solve the long-simmering conflict between Israel and Palestine.
"This is a sad day. The United States has lost a friend, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Middle East, and the world has lost a revered leader," U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said in a statement. "He was so proud of the Kingdom's journey, a brave partner in fighting violent extremism who proved just as important as a proponent of peace."
A cautious reformer
King Abdullah became king of the oil-rich nation, a key U.S. ally in the Middle East, in August 2005. But he had been running Saudi Arabia since 1996, after his half-brother King Fahd's stroke.
In the context of the kingdom's conservative circles, Abdullah was seen as reformer and often came up against the more hard-line clerics.

Since ascending to the throne, Abdullah took steps toward broader freedoms and invested some of the country's vast oil wealth in large-scale education and infrastructure projects.
"He was really quite (an) extraordinary figure. He was probably the most progressive and liberal minded king of Saudi Arabia since King Faisal, which is a long time ago, in the early 1970s," CNN's Fareed Zakaria said about Abdullah, who he described as "much loved."
"I had the opportunity to meet with him once and what you got a sense of was somebody who really was determined to move his country forward," Zakaria said. "It's a conservative country and a conservative society -- and he kept emphasizing that to me -- but he was very clear in the direction he wanted to go."
However, resistance from conservative factions hindered some of his efforts, leaving many women in particular disappointed by a lack of progress toward greater independence.
What's next?
Under Abdullah's leadership, the country slowly squashed al Qaeda, capturing or killing its leaders in the kingdom, forcing the remnants underground and sidelining radical preachers.
It also took a more prominent role in international affairs.
Last year, it became the lead Arab nation in a U.S.-led coalition to eradicate the ultraradical ISIS group in Iraq and Syria.

Analysts are predicting a smooth political transition despite the many challenges facing Saudi Arabia, including Iran, the rise of ISIS, the crisis in Yemen, and the drop in oil prices.
Saudi Arabia has 16% of the world's known oil reserves, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The country is widely seen as the leader of OPEC and has a large influence on energy prices and political stability in the Middle East.
"Remember, the last time the price of oil fell like this, the Soviet Union collapsed," said Zakaria. "That said, the successor is a very competent man."
He added: "I don't expect any major shift, but it marks a big change, and we'll have to see what the new king is like." | positive |

By Tommy Andres, CNN
Editor's Note: Listen to the full story in our player above, and join the conversation in our comments section below.
Montgomery, Alabama (CNN) - Despite the fact that it has been federally legal since 1979, there are still two U.S. states that don't allow residents to make beer in their own homes: Alabama and Mississippi.
The issue is expected to be one of the first to surface in Alabama's state legislature as lawmakers there head back to session this week, and a colorful standoff is likely.
Homebrew laws have failed to materialize for the past five years, with religion and morality arguments narrowly beating out the estimated 5,000 underground homebrewers in the state who say their civil liberties are on the line.
Kraig Torres owns a craft beer store in Birmingham, called Hop City. He learned first-hand that the law against homebrewing is still enforced. Homebrew supplies he planned to sell were confiscated by state authorities the day before he opened in September:
[:45] "I think anyone agrees this is not so much a beer issue as a civil liberties issue. Things you can do commercially for money in the state of Alabama, why can't you do in your kitchen legally? It'd be like saying you can only buy cherry pies at a bakery instead of making them in your kitchen."
Leading the charge against the bill is the Alabama Citizens Action Program, or ALCAP. Its leader, Joe Godfrey, has been lobbying against any law that relaxes alcohol laws in the state:
[4:14] "I've met with some of the homebrewers and they tell me, 'Oh, we're fine upstanding citizens. We go to church, we're active in our community, we don't overindulge, we don't get drunk.' Well, they might not, but I've never met an alcoholic that started out saying, 'I'm going to become an alcoholic.' They start out socially drinking. They start out homebrewing and tasting."
Homebrew laws have previously passed in the Alabama state Senate and House of Representatives respectively the past two years. But not in both. Hobbyists hope this will finally be their year. But it won't be easy, because one thing is for certain: this issue is much bigger than beer. | positive |
A young New York entrepreneur has one word in response to complaints about high A.T.M. fees: Advertising.
Free ATMs NYC, brought to you by Clinton Townsend, 25, offers free withdrawals to all users. The catch? While you wait for your cash to be dispensed, a 15-inch screen on the machine plays an advertisement. Then, when you get your receipt, it will have a coupon for a discount, perhaps at a restaurant nearby.
Mr. Townsend said he wanted to install the machines in areas of New York City that the big banks were not serving and where independently operated A.T.M.’s charge as much as $3 per transaction. “We’re looking to eliminate that,” he said in a phone interview.
The idea of using A.T.M.’s as talking billboards isn’t new. But banks generally have used them to advertise their own products and services. Also, those A.T.M.s aren’t free if you don’t have an account at that bank. “Our A.T.M.s are free to everyone,” Mr. Townsend said.
The company’s first free A.T.M. just began operating at the Knitting Factory, a music club and bar in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood. Mr. Townsend is subsidizing costs at this point, but the machine does display the calendar of events at the Knitting Factory, he said. (Transactions conducted at the machine are handled by WorldPay, a card payment processor). Mr. Townsend says he has had inquiries from third-party advertisers and thinks the idea can catch on.
Would you put up with advertising if it meant withdrawing your cash was free? Where would you like to see one of the A.T.M.’s? | positive |

Roosevelt's cruise aboard the USS Indianapolis (CA-35), departing Charleston, South Carolina, on 18 November 1936 for a "Good-Neighbor" visit to South America. The scrapbook was created by Rear Admiral Paul H. Bastedo who was the president's Naval Aide. After carrying President Roosevelt to Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, and Montevideo for state visits, USS Indianapolis returned to Charleston on 15 December where the presidential party left the ship. Also on board during the voyage was the President's son, US Marine Lieutenant Colonel James Roosevelt.
