Using a Staple remover
A staple remover is a device that allows for the quick removal of a staple from a material without causing damage. Also known as a ’’’canassas’’’, the best-known form of staple remover, designed for light-gauge staples, consists essentially of a) two opposing, pivot-mounted pairs of thin, steep wedges and b) a spring that returns the device to the open position after use. Although a simple metal wedge can be used for the same purpose, and although some staplers (especially small ones about 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) long) feature such a wedge at their hinge end, use of the wedge tends to tear fragile papers.
Use [ edit ]
Proper use of the opposing wedge staple remover is debated; the two major methods are described below.
Original ("fast") method [ edit ]
Demonstration of the "fast" removal method
The user forcefully clips the front flat side of the staple, causing the folded tabs on the reverse side to open and pull through the entry holes. This method requires much less time. Although this method is quick, it can have the undesirable side effect of tearing the paper when the folded tabs pull through. Tearing usually does not occur when higher quality paper is used or the staple connects three or more sheets.
The inventor of the original staple remover, William G. Pankonin, illustrates this method of removal in US Patent Number 2033050.
"Safe" method [ edit ]
The following method reduces the risk of damage to the paper sheets being separated, albeit at some cost to speed and associated time efficiency:
Turn the paper over to the side of the paper (usually the back) over which the staple's prongs have been folded. Use each opposed pair of tines to clip one of the prongs, re-straightening them and in the process raising them from the paper. Turn the paper back over to the front side against which the main body of the staple has been pressed. Gently slide the tines on one side of the remover under the main body of the staple and press the remover's halves together until you have a firm hold on the staple. Continuing to maintain a firm hold on the staple, pull the entire staple gently out of the paper.
Proper for pen style remover:[1]
The metal tip should be placed just beneath the front side of the staple Press the blade up and away from yourself to remove the staple from the papers
Design [ edit ]
A staple remover for carpentry staples
The design is focused on functionality and robustness with no unnecessary decoration (unless one includes the ergonomics of the handle) and minimised number of parts to lower costs and production time. The device works with a pincer action to unfold and pull out a staple in one motion. The modern staple remover is believed to have been conceptualised by an Irish housewife, Meghan Rooney. However, Miss Rooney had initially intended the design to function as an implement to remove stitching and not as a staple remover. Please note: The notch on a modern-day staple remover is to remove broken staples by hooking the aforementioned broken staple into the notch and using the standard pincer action.[not in citation given][2]
Components [ edit ]
Blades [ edit ]
The two pivoting blades interlock each other. They are made of chrome-plated steel, which is harder than the thin ductile wire of the staple and strong enough to withstand the force required to remove it. The chrome plating provides a mild rust-resistance suitable for use in an office environment away from any liquids. Though the blade is made from what was originally sheet metal, the right angles and clean edges mean that a punch and die method of production would not be suitable. Therefore, the piece of sheet metal is cut using the process of blanking in a mechanical press, then bent in a press brake. This is a highly automated method which allows for a production rate of up to 1,500 units per minute.
Torsion springs [ edit ]
The torsion spring in this staple remover is a standardised component that appears in many other products, such as clothes pegs. It has two loops. The spring is made of chrome-plated steel, which is used because there is a point of minimum stress where continued use (opening and closing the staple remover) will not cause failure through fatigue. They are mass-produced by a spring winding machine which cold winds wire around an arbour before heat treating to make it harder. The spring is then chrome plated. The machinery to do this is large, expensive, but has a high production rate. That is why the springs are usually bought off-the-shelf from a tier 1 supplier rather than produced in house.
Plastic grips [ edit ]
The plastic grips are in fact unnecessary and the device could still be operated without them. They provide enhanced ergonomics so the user does not have to press their fingers against sheet metal. Injection moulding of thermoplastics are normally used through the use of an automated injection moulding machine, which shoots liquid plastic into a mould where it is left to set. Such processing is commonplace, not very labour-intensive, cheap, and capable of producing high quantities. Plastic is used as it is the easiest, but also the cheapest and most readily available material that can be formed into such fluid shapes.
Pin axle [ edit ]
The pin axle provides a cylindrical bar from which the blades can rotate. It is made of stainless steel, which will not rust in areas that have been worn by contact with other metals. The process to create such a pin axle is quite intensive and hence it is bought off-the-shelf from a supplier. They are made by a specialised machine which cuts thick wire into a suitable length and then die punches the head of the pin. The supplier normally runs specialised machinery that is capable of producing large amounts of products at a high rate for a low cost.
History [ edit ]
The form of destapler described above was invented by William G. Pankonin of Chicago, Illinois. A patent application for the same was filed on 12 December 1932, granted on 3 March 1936 and published on 3 April 1936 as patent document US 2,033,050.
A modified version, also capable of removing broken staples, was patented by Joseph A. Foitle of Overland Park, Kansas, but does not see widespread use, despite overcoming several disadvantages of the former device by a simple, yet novel and inventive, modification. The patent for the latter invention was filed on 28 May 1969 and was granted on 28 December 1971, published as US 3,630,486 A. An excerpt from the patent application reads as follows:
"... A device for removing broken portions of wire staples ... comprising a pair of overlying planar arms pivoted together on an axis normal thereto, said arms having cooperating notches ... whereby relative pivotal motions ... may be engaged over the projecting portion of a broken staple..."

Dandy Warhols On Playing, Touring With David Bowie - OPB Sept. 24, 2022 contribute now In The News Pacific Northwest salmon crisis A conductor's passions Grants Pass police shooting Newberg schools ruling Pendleton Round Up & politics Prison problems culture Dandy Warhols On Playing, Touring With David Bowie By Aaron Scott (OPB) Jan. 16, 2016 7:15 p.m. Your browser does not support the audio element. The Dandy Warhols toured with David Bowie in 2003. Courtesy the Dandy Warhols THANKS TO OUR SPONSOR: Become a Sponsor The Dandy Warhols first met Bowie because he was singing along. It was Glastonbury in 2000, and the band looked to the side of the stage during their set to see Bowie and his band, in their black suits, belting along. Related: Portland Musicians Remember David Bowie In 2002, Bowie headlined the Meltdown Festival in London, and he invited the Dandies to be the first band since Lou Reed to share his stage. Then he took them on tour as the opening act for the European dates of his Reality Tour, which would be his final. Then he came out to shoot pool and jam with them in their Portland warehouse, the Odditorium. In other words, the Dandies probably came closer into the orbit of the star that was Bowie than did any other Portlanders. Band members Courtney Taylor-Taylor, Zia McCabe and Peter Homlstrom told us what it was like to know the man. On meeting Bowie Courtney Taylor-Taylor: All these people in black trench coats or Gucci Armani suits, are singing along, to "Boy's Better," I remember. And it's pretty hysterical that ended up being Bowie and his band. I think I just about crapped by pants. THANKS TO OUR SPONSOR: Become a Sponsor On sharing the stage with Bowie CT: We're getting ready before he's going to go on for his encore. He's changing clothes, and he's like, "OK, Courtney, oh Lord, you're tall. Damn. Get my Ziggy boots." We walked out and the crowd went, "Haaa." And he said, "The only other time in my career I've allowed another band to come on my stage was 30 years ago to the week in this room." And everyone goes, "Haaa." And he goes, "and that person was Lou Reed." And everyone goes, "Haaa," even louder. And he said, "A month ago, when I asked Courtney what song he wanted to do, he chose the same song I chose 30 years ago with Lou Reed. Ladies and gentlemen, 'White Light, White Heat.'" Everyone went bananas. Zia McCabe: I refused to play the synth. Like absolutely not. Only playing tambourine. I want to have fun doing this … It was kind of scary. You see again how we never could quite get on the same page on stage. He kind of touches me, and I'm looking off. Then he tries to dance with me, and I'm looking the other way. Then he tries to hug me, and my back's to him. He was always this weird uncle trying to be my friend, and I could never understand. It was the weirdest relationship. On learning of his death Peter Holmstrom: We were all on a plane coming back from Santiago. We had just played a festival there. Our tour manager came up to me and told me the news, and I had to sit there the rest of the flight and think about it. CT: The first thing I thought was I never appreciated how bizarre and unbelievable fortunate we were to be friends with and know a person of that magnitude and brilliance and vision and to have him really love what we do. PH: Facebook turned into Bowiebook. ZM: The wake though: You picture people gathering in someone's living room, photos spread out everywhere. And they tell each other their personal stories and memories. And this is happening globally through social media. CT: When they asked me what's it feel like, I said, "I feel like I learned that my father and Elvis just died. Everyone freaked out when Elvis went. Did we have an Elvis yet? This is it. This is our Elvis." The Dandy Warhols' new single, "You Are Killing Me," came out Jan. 8.

By Team eSaral 0 0 Views Share This Post Facebook Twitter Google plus Question: An object of size 3.0 cm is placed 14 cm in front of a concave lens of focal length 21 cm. Describe the image produced by the lens. What happens if the object is moved further away from the lens? Solution: Size of the object, h1 = 3 cm Object distance, u = −14 cm Focal length of the concave lens, f = −21 cm Image distance = v $\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}$ $\frac{1}{v}=-\frac{1}{21}-\frac{1}{14}=\frac{-2-3}{42}=\frac{-5}{42}$ $\therefore v=-\frac{42}{5}=-8.4 \mathrm{~cm}$ Hence, the image is formed on the other side of the lens, 8.4 cm away from it. The negative sign shows that the image is erect and virtual. The magnification of the image is given as: $m=\frac{\text { Image height }\left(h_{2}\right)}{\text { Object height }\left(h_{1}\right)}=\frac{v}{u}$ $\therefore h_{2}=\frac{-8.4}{-14} \times 3=0.6 \times 3=1.8 \mathrm{~cm}$ Hence, the height of the image is 1.8 cm. If the object is moved further away from the lens, then the virtual image will move toward the focus of the lens, but not beyond it. The size of the image will decrease with the increase in the object distance.

By Madeline R. Vann, MPHMedically Reviewed by Samuel Mackenzie, MD, PhD Reviewed: July 1, 2019 Medically Reviewed People often complain of feeling confined or claustrophobic during MRIs.Selim Aksan/Getty Images Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans are commonly performed to establish a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) and to monitor its progression over time. MRIs use strong magnets and radio waves to create images of internal structures of the body. An MRI scan of your brain and spinal cord can reveal the lesions, or areas where the myelin that normally protects nerve fibers has been damaged, that are typical of MS. Over time, repeat MRIs show your doctor whether you have developed additional lesions and whether existing lesions have enlarged or otherwise changed. Most healthcare professionals recommend that people with MS receive annual MRIs to track progression and assist in treatment decisions. Evidence of new or growing lesions, for example, may indicate that a change in treatment is needed. Before You Get an MRI: Safety Issues Before you get an MRI, you and your doctor need to make sure this type of scanning is safe for you. The powerful magnets used in an MRI machine mean that metallic items, including some implanted items and devices, need to be kept out of the scanning area. If you have a pacemaker, cochlear implant, or some other device in your body, you may not be able to have an MRI, or the test may need to be modified in some way. Such issues should be discussed before you schedule the exam. As part of your safety discussion, you should let your doctor and the MRI technician know if you have any tattoos. While not all tattoos rule out having an MRI, tattoo inks that contain metal such as iron can heat up and cause burns during an MRI. This is of particular concern if a tattoo is located near the eyes, but any burn causes pain and discomfort. A tattoo located over the body area being scanned can also distort the image, making it difficult or impossible to interpret. Again, this is an issue that should be discussed ahead of time. If you are pregnant, you may be advised to delay getting an MRI. Scans are generally not done during the first trimester and are only done during the second or third trimesters if the benefits appear to outweigh the risks. Editor's Picks How Well Is Your MS Treatment Working? MS treatments can take time to start working — and can eventually stop working. Here’s how to know if it may be time for a change.…Learn More How an MRI Is Done If MRI has been deemed safe for you, you will need to wear clothing with no metal zippers, hooks, snaps, buttons, or decorative elements, and you will need to leave any metal items, such as a watch or jewelry, outside the MRI room. You may be asked to wear a hospital gown to make sure your clothing has no metal. Historically, people with MS or suspected MS have often been injected with a contrast agent (sometimes referred to as a “dye”) containing the chemical element gadolinium prior to an MRI. The gadolinium was used to help identify active inflammation in the brain. Some people experience a headache, nausea, or dizziness for a brief time after the injection. A study published online on March 12, 2019, in the journal Radiology (and in print in the April issue) suggests that MRIs performed in 3T MRI machines without the use of the contrast agent are just as effective at monitoring MS progression as those in which gadolinium is used. In general, recent advances in noncontrast MRI technology, including 3T systems, have made gadolinium-free scans a more viable option. With or without contrast, during the scan, you’ll lie on a narrow table that is slid into the opening at the center of the tube-shaped MRI machine. You’ll be instructed to lie still, because movement can blur the images. An MRI can take anywhere from 15 to 90 minutes, depending on what body area is being scanned and how many images are taken. Sidestepping Anxiety and Claustrophobia The confined space and often dark environment in older MRI scanners often cause feelings of claustrophobia. Newer machines tend to have larger openings and better lighting, and the tube itself is open on both ends, helping to reduce claustrophobia. But even with the latest equipment, an MRI can cause anxiety. What can improve the experience? 1. Take a Sedative, if Needed “The calmer you are and the less you move around, the quicker you get in, and the quicker you get out,” says Matt Gonzales, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2010 at age 20 and blogs under the name Matt Allen G. Because he has an “aggressive” form of MS, he says, he’s been through countless MRIs. He particularly remembers the anxiety over his first MRI, because he has mild claustrophobia. “They offered me a sedative, but I’m stubborn, so I didn’t take it,” he says. He prefers to focus on relaxing, staying still, and getting the test done as quickly as possible. According to Lorenza Clausen, a radiologic technologist at Dignity Health Mercy Methodist Hospital of Sacramento, taking a sedative is an option if MRIs make you very nervous. But she advises you to speak to your doctor before your MRI if you feel you need a sedative to get through the scan. Keep in mind that if you take a sedative, you will not be able to drive immediately after your MRI and will need to arrange for a ride home. Plus, sedatives may interact with other medications you’re taking or cause other health complications, Clausen adds. 2. Block the Noise An MRI is a loud experience. Gonzales compares the bangs and buzzes of the machine to a construction site. While he doesn’t mind the noise, many people do. If you’re worried about the noise, Clausen suggests asking the MRI facility for earplugs made of foam or silicone, or for noise-canceling headphones. Regular commercial headphones cannot be worn during an MRI, she says, but some MRI facilities have noise-canceling headphones you can wear during your scan. Some facilities offer the option of listening to music during your scan, and you may even be able to bring your own music on a CD, MP3 player, iPod, or other device. If you wish to bring your own music, ask whether the center can accommodate that when you schedule your MRI. 3. Close Your Eyes and Visualize “If patients are claustrophobic, I advise them to keep their eyes closed, because if you open them, you see yourself in the machine,” says Zulma Hernandez-Peraza, MD, a neurologist at the University of Illinois Hospital in Chicago. While your eyes are closed, it can help to visualize yourself in pleasant surroundings, such as a beach, forest glade, or any other place you associate with feeling happy and calm. Some MRI scanners have a small mirror positioned over your eyes so that you can see out of the tube. For some people, this also helps with claustrophobia. 4. Bring a Friend Having a friend or family member with you in the room can be helpful, says Clausen. That person will also need to leave any metal items and clothes with metal parts outside the room, and anyone with a cardiac pacemaker cannot be in the room during an MRI. Generally, your friend can sit or stand next to the MRI table during the scan. “Patients often see a benefit in having a spouse, relative, or friend with them at the appointment,” Clausen notes. “They can be allowed to accompany the patient into the room to sit nearby, hold their hand, or lay a hand on their leg if facility policy allows. The person accompanying the patient into the room will have to complete a screening form and not have any contraindications to MRI. Even though they are not in the scanner being examined, the fact that they enter the room makes it unsafe if they have a pacemaker or other implant. They will also be required to empty all items out of pockets and leave their valuables outside the scanner.” Children should always have a parent or other caretaker with them during an MRI. 5. Talk to the Technician Although the technician isn’t there to chat, you can certainly reach out if you’re feeling uncomfortable or anxious during the test. The MRI machine will have both a microphone and a speaker inside it. “Technologists should be speaking to you before and after every series of pictures,” Clausen says. “Three or four minutes for a series can seem like a long time. The exam should pause between each series to allow the technologist to check in with you.” According to Clausen, most MRI machines feature “a call button in the form of a squeeze ball” you can use to call the technologist if you’re not feeling well or are getting anxious. “But you shouldn’t try to talk during the series or when the noise is on, as you may move involuntarily,” Clausen emphasizes. “It’s very important to not move during imaging.” Additional reporting by Brian P.

ISS Score Explained – And Where You Can Find Yours
December 13, 2017
When reading or hearing about weigh station bypass programs, you may have learned that a carrier’s “ISS score” plays a role in determining whether a truck will receive a bypass command or not. Many think a carrier’s ISS score is the same as a carrier’s CSA score, and although there is a relationship between them, they are not the same thing.
“ISS score” stands for Inspection Selection System score, and it was initially created by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), to help roadside commercial vehicle enforcement officers make quick decisions on whether or not a truck should be inspected. Rather than having an officer look up numerous CSA measurements for a given carrier, to aid in truck inspection screening, the ISS score method uses a formula to amalgamate many safety score measures into a single score between 0 and 100. The FMCSA provides recommendations on whether an officer should occasionally inspect, always inspect, or rarely inspect a vehicle, depending on where the carrier’s ISS score lies in the 0 to 100 range. Like golf, a lower score is better. So the ISS is above all a decision-aid for commercial vehicle roadside vehicle safety inspections.
But with the advent of both transponder based and GPS/internet based weigh station bypass services, like Drivewyze PreClear, ISS scores have also become a means by which state law enforcement agencies can automatically screen incoming trucks in order to provide them with bypass commands or pull-in instructions. When a truck that is enrolled in a bypass service approaches a participating inspection site, the bypass service typically looks at the carrier ISS score, along with registration status, IFTA status, weight measurements from any embedded weigh in motion (WIM) scales, and other measures, to determine the rate at which a given truck will be given a green light bypass command. Just as officers use IIS score at the station to determine the likelihood of performing an inspection, bypass services like Drivewyze use the carrier ISS score to determine the rate at which a truck needs to pull in at all. Enrolled trucks with an outstanding carrier ISS score may be told to pull in only 2% of the time, while those with a poorer ISS score may need to pull in 25%, 40% or more of the time.
The ISS score is calculated from a carrier’s Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs) percentile values, as recorded in the FMCSA’s CSA Safety Measurement System (SMS). This alphabet soup of scoring systems is essentially the way the FMSCA tracks the safety records of carriers in the areas of unsafe driving, crash indicators (history of crash involvement), driver fitness, hazardous materials (HM) compliance, vehicle maintenance, hours-of-service compliance and controlled substances and alcohol. The ISS score method is simply a way to gather up all of the BASIC values into a single, at a glance score.
In cases where a newer carrier may not have the history from which to accumulate a BASIC score, the ISS score is determined through the use of an ‘Insufficient Data Algorithm’, which is used until there is enough data to bring the carrier into the BASIC safety measurement system.
This link gives a very in depth breakdown of how these scores are calculated. https://ai.fmcsa.dot.gov/sms/helpfiles/iss_algorithm.pdf
How to Find Your ISS Score
The FMSCA has set up a portal website where carriers can look up their own ISS score. The website can be accessed here – https://portal.fmcsa.dot.gov/login . If this site has not yet been accessed by a carrier a new account will need to be set up here: https://portal.fmcsa.dot.gov/AccountRequest/AccountRequestForm1.jsp
Once a carrier is able to log into the FMCSA portal, the Inspection Selection System (ISS) Info view displays the company’s ISS score, the resulting ISS Recommendation and the Basis for Recommendation – which is essentially the criteria an officer would follow when determining whether or not to inspect a truck that has already pulled in.
However, this ISS Recommendation information is not the same as the criteria each state follows for granting bypasses. In other words, a Drivewyze enrolled truck that has a poor ISS score may or may not be instructed to pull in, based on the state’s screening rules. A truck with a poor ISS score that is given a bypass instruction will of course not be inspected, since it is being told to stay on the mainline and bypass the station. And trucks that are instructed to pull in are not necessarily being singled out for inspection. Once a truck pulls in, it is up to the officer’s discretion, using the ISS score system and many other criteria, as to whether or not an inspection should take place. Drivewyze does not recommend whether or not an inspection should take place.
It is also important to note that the FMCSA has recently started randomly manipulating ISS scores for carriers – particularly smaller ones – that don’t have enough inspection data registered in the system. By temporarily increasing a carrier’s ISS score, the FMCSA ensures that such carriers are more likely to be pulled in for an inspection, thus satisfying some ongoing data sufficiency problems within the FMCSA model. (See http://www.overdriveonline.com/are-small-carriers-singled-out-for-inspection-short-answer-yes/.)
This means that a carrier which is lacking in inspection data may therefore be subject to a temporarily high ISS score, so that a sample of that carrier’s trucks can be pulled in, receive clean inspections, and then have that carrier reinstated to a confirmed, lower ISS score.
In this way, a bypass service and the FMCSA’s manipulation of ISS scores make for a self-regulating system. Carriers who are worried that bypassing scales might negatively impact their ISS scores no longer need to do so, and they no longer need to choose whether to use a bypass service or not. Those who participate in a bypass program will be able to enjoy bypasses that reflect their safety scores, and if the FMCSA data model deems it necessary, their ISS scores will be temporarily raised, some trucks will be inspected, and then their good safety scores will be confirmed and reinstated.
How is ISS used for the Drivewyze Bypass Program?
Drivewyze uses the ISS inspection value, along with other state specified criteria, to help determine the rate at which an enrolled truck will be instructed to pull in. The pull in criteria for a range of ISS scores is set and managed by each individual state agency, and so varies from state to state and even from site to site.
This allows agencies to balance their manpower availability for pull ins and inspections with the need to achieve the highest safety value. Some agencies may grant bypasses up to 98% of the time for carriers with stellar ISS scores, while reducing the bypass rate to 50% or less for those with poorer scores – or even deciding to pull everyone in for a period of time due an inspection blitz.
Because bypass rates vary from state to state, and change over time, the best way to determine how your carrier ISS score translates into a Drivewyze PreClear bypass rate – on the routes where you operate – is to try Drivewyze for free and see for yourself. Individual drivers can try Drivewyze for free on their smartphones and tablets for 30 days, while carriers interested in using Drivewyze on their in-cab telematics device can receive a free detailed analytics report that shows them what kind of bypasses they can expect to receive.
But all states set a random pull in rate for all vehicles, which means that occasional pull in commands may be given to even the most pristine carriers. | positive |

The scope of the text is the basic theory of modeling from a mathematical perspective. A rst fundamental mathematical model for epidemic diseases was formulated by Ker- mack and McKendrick in 1927 (see the fac-simile of their paper in Appendix). mathematical models; sexually transmitted disease; epidemiology; The epidemiology of infectious diseases has moved beyond identifying aetiological agents and risk factors to a more detailed understanding of the mechanisms controlling the distribution of infections and disease in populations. Kranz J (1974) The role and scope of mathematical analysis and modelling in epidemiology. The course aims to bring a conceptual understanding of mathematical modelling and its applications in infectious disease research to individuals who have not had any advanced training in mathematics. Mathematics is a very precise language. Then, by choosing a power-law memory function, the transition to a model equation with Gerasimov–Caputo fractional derivatives is carried out. Roy. Methods: For this mathematical modelling study, we used a model of individual-level transmission stratified by setting (household, work, school, or other) based on BBC Pandemic data from 40,162 UK participants. x.

In this paper, we compare the results from an example im-plementation of each method, and show that although the agent-based model takes longer to setup and run, it provides additional information Proc. Mathematics and simulation are essential tools in infectious disease control, enabling decision-makers to explore control policies before implementing them, interpret trends, and predict emerging threats. Mathematical analysis and modeling are key tools in the study of infectious diseases and have been critical in our response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since COVID-19 transmission started in late January, mathematical modelling has been at the forefront of shaping the decisions around different non-pharmaceutical interventions to confine its’ spread in the UK and worldwide. Some familiarity with spreadsheet packages (ideally Excel) is desirable. Richard has worked extensively in recent years using mathematical modelling and classical epidemiological techniques to understand the epidemiology and control of sexually transmitted infections/HIV and other infectious diseases in developing countries. Because many of the signs and symptoms of Marburg hemorrhagic fever are similar to those of other infectious diseases such as malaria or typhoid fever, clinical diagnosis of the disease can be difficult, especially if only a single case is involved. How COVID-19 and other infectious diseases spread: mathematical modeling. In uenza, Chickenpox etc. The Role of Heterogeneity in Model Predictions. There are two main methods that are used to model the spread of an infectious disease: agent-based modelling and equation based modelling. It is important to build logistical factors into these mathematical models. In 1766 Daniel Bernoulli published an article where he described the effects of smallpox variolation (a precursor of vaccination) on life expectancy using mathematical life table analysis (Dietz and Heesterbeek 2000).

Mathematical models provide important insights in the understanding of emerging infectious diseases and informing public health policies. One of the simplest mathematical models of disease spread splits the population into three basic categories according to disease status. The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) that was first reported at the end of 2019 has impacted almost every aspect of life as we know it. In particular, we focus on three critical aspects of infectious disease models that we feel fundamentally shape their dynamics: heterogeneously structured populations, stochasticity and spatial structure. Throughout we relate the mathematical models and their results to a variety of real-world problems. In general the spread of an infectious disease depends upon: Susceptible population, Therefore, developing a mathematical model helps to focus thoughts on the essential processes involved in shaping the epidemiology of an infectious disease and to reveal the parameters that are most influential and amenable for control. 1Department of Mathematics, COMSATS University Islamabad, Abbottabad Campus, Abbottabad 22060, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. equations governing the disease can be modeled as dS dt = SI dI dt (1) = SI I dR dt = I Remark. Mathematical models are important tools in the study of spread and control of infectious diseases. III - Mathematical Modeling in Social and Behavioral Sciences - Wei-Bin Zhang ©Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems(EOLSS) sector with no amenity, denoted as the a-sector and the m-sector, respectively. Several mathematical models have been used to understand COVID-19 transmission dynamics and … First, the Basic Reproductive Number, which represents the infectiousness of the disease, followed by the classic SIR infectious disease model, and the modified SIR model under the epidemic situation. Mathematical modelling of infectious disease. Mathematical models can project how infectious diseases progress to show the likely outcome of an epidemic and help inform public health interventions. Mathematical modeling of the spread of infectious diseases A series of lectures given at PANDA, UNM Guillermo Abramson November 2001 This are informal notes, mostly based on the bibliography listed at the end and on recent papers in the fleld. Basically we study the first two in detail. It is possible to successfully fend off a zombie attack, according to Canadian mathematicians. ... One of the simplest mathematical models of disease spread splits the population into three basic categories according to disease status. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic respiratory illness spreading from person-to-person caused by a novel coronavirus and poses a serious public health risk. disease will die out, while if it exceeds one there will be an endemic (see Driessche and Watmough, 2002, Brauer et all., 2008). Infectious Diseases at LSHTM and a Medical Research Council Methodology Research Fellow. Mathematical Models and their analysis Infectious diseases are basically of two types: Acute (Fast Infectious): Stay for a short period (days/weeks) e.g. (2021) Mathematical modeling and analysis for controlling the spread of infectious diseases. The case-fatality rate for Marburg hemorrhagic fever is between 23-90%. 8 We used this model to evaluate the impact of self-isolation following either a positive test result or symptom onset, and the impact of quarantine of contacts of laboratory-confirmed cases. Mathematical modeller of infectious diseases in animals Tenure track position modelling We offer a position for a mathematical modeller of infectious diseases in animal populations within the Quantitative Veterinary Epidemiology chair group at the Animal Sciences Department of Wageningen University, the Netherlands. In recent years mathematical modeling has become a valuable tool in the analysis of infectious disease dynamics and to support the development of control strategies. Title: Dynamics of Infection Author: Joan L. Aron Created Date: 5/17/2007 2:59:23 PM Since the total population is assumed to be constant, the third equation can be derived from the first two. Mathematical models are used to provide insights into infectious disease trends, quantify likely benefits of public health interventions, and support risk assessment for emerging infectious diseases. mathematical modelling on communicable and non-communicable diseases has been shown a great concern of human kind. Infected Infected individuals can spread the disease to susceptible individuals. Because many of the signs and symptoms of Marburg hemorrhagic fever are similar to those of other infectious diseases such as malaria or typhoid fever, clinical diagnosis of the disease can be difficult, especially if only a single case is involved. For the resulting model equation, local initial conditions are set (the Cauchy problem). The time they spend in the infected compartment is the infectious period, after which they enter the recovered compartment. infectious diseases such as COVID-19.

The ABC of terms used in mathematical models of infectious diseases Sharmistha Mishra,1,2 David N Fisman,3 Marie-Claude Boily2,4 ABSTRACT Mathematical models that incorporate a dynamic risk of infection figure prominently in the study of infectious diseases epidemiology as a tool to inform public health policy. Modern infectious disease epidemiology makes heavy use of computational model–based approaches and a dynamical systems perspective. More timely, accurate, and relevant data and methodological innovation could exploit the full power of modelling, argue Feng Chen and colleagues Since Daniel Bernoulli studied smallpox inoculation from a mathematical perspective in 1760, mathematical models have proved invaluable to understanding and helping control infectious disease epidemics.1 By simplifying … Epidemiology and Mathematical Modelling provide vital mathematical and statistical tools to study the spatial spread of epidemics in populations. 87-90 One might, for example, study a model for the evolution of the disease as a function of the age and the time since vaccination 91, 92 or investigate the influence of quarantine or isolation of the infected part of the population. The case-fatality rate for Marburg hemorrhagic fever is between 23-90%. Answers to these questions require mathematical modelling. Summary. 3. 2Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science, King … We are still in the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak and there is great … This helps us to formulate ideas and identify underlying assumptions. Modern infectious disease epidemiology has a strong history of using mathematics both for prediction and to gain a deeper understanding. R. Soc. Finally, lesson 10 and 10b summarize module 3 in a set of key conclusions. The key is to “hit hard and hit often.”. Then Dr. Using two simple mathematical epidemiological models—the Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered model and the … However, individuals with degrees in mathematical disciplines working on some aspect of infectious disease dynamics and/ or control, who wish to learn about the potential of infectious disease modelling will also benefit. a new approach to teaching mathematical modeling. London A 115, 700-721. Susceptibles (S): Individuals susceptible to the disease Infectious (I): Infected Individuals able to transmit the parasite to others Recovered (R): Individuals that have recovered, are immune or have died from the disease and do not contribute to the transmission of the disease S = S(t);I = I(t);R = R(t) and N = S(t) + I(t) + R(t) The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has placed epidemic modeling at the forefront of worldwide public policy making. The compartmental structures for well-recognized SIR (Susceptible2 (S)-Infective (I)–Recovered (R)) on infectious diseases for Here, we present concrete examples illustrating how mathematical models, paired with rigorous statistical methods, are used to parse data of different levels of detail and breadth and estimate key epidemiological parameters (e.g., transmission and … We simulated the effect of a range of different testing, isolation, tracing, and physical distancing scenarios. hepatitis. He moved to the mathematical part of infectious diseases. Skip navigation. This paper focuses on the incidence of the disease in Italy and Spain—two of the first and most affected European countries. A summary of the model and its uses is given by Murray. This Editorial discusses the importance of modelling in understanding Covid-19 spread, highlights different modelling approaches and suggests that … Abstract. The time they spend in the infected compartment is the infectious period, after which they enter the recovered compartment. 11 Kalimuddin et al12 looked into the forecasting of dengue disease patterns in Singapore utilising mathematical modelling. Jen Ciarochi. It is typical that students in a mathematical modeling class come from a wide variety of disciplines. With 3D modeling, it is now possible to visualize an outcome even before it is given a practical, real shape. List of Publications and Manuscripts Specialist mathematical training is not a prerequisite. Infectious disease epidemiologists–with cross-training in classical epidemiology, and approaches such as mathematical modeling, behavioral science, pathogen evolution and genomics–are in increasing demand to respond to emerging threats and improve control of endemic diseases. MATHEMATICAL MODELS – Vol. This course will give a thorough introduction to the conceptual ideas and mathematical tools needed for infectious disease modeling. Many researchers have been considered the constant contact rates between susceptible and infective to study disease dynamics by considering various mathematical models 2-11,17. 3D Modeling Techniques : Types and Specific Applications - 3D modeling has revolutionized the design, manufacturing, research & development, and the advertising industries. Soc. The basic reproduction number (R 0), pronounced “R naught,” is intended to be an indicator of the contagiousness or transmissibility of infectious and parasitic agents.R 0 is often encountered in the epidemiology and public health literature and can also be found in the popular press (1–6).R 0 has been described as being one of the fundamental and most often used metrics … DST/NRF Centre of Excellence in Epidemiological Modelling and Analysis (SACEMA) What can SACEMA do for Africa?

This woman loves Katie, and she said what she did because the sight of Katie in this condition moved her so deeply. But it was the wrong thing to say. And it was wrong in the same way Susan's colleague's remark was wrong.
Susan has since developed a simple technique to help people avoid this mistake. It works for all kinds of crises: medical, legal, financial, romantic, even existential. She calls it the Ring Theory.
Draw a circle. This is the center ring. In it, put the name of the person at the center of the current trauma. For Katie's aneurysm, that's Katie. Now draw a larger circle around the first one. In that ring put the name of the person next closest to the trauma. In the case of Katie's aneurysm, that was Katie's husband, Pat. Repeat the process as many times as you need to. In each larger ring put the next closest people. Parents and children before more distant relatives. Intimate friends in smaller rings, less intimate friends in larger ones. When you are done you have a Kvetching Order. One of Susan's patients found it useful to tape it to her refrigerator.
Here are the rules. The person in the center ring can say anything she wants to anyone, anywhere. She can kvetch and complain and whine and moan and curse the heavens and say, "Life is unfair" and "Why me?" That's the one payoff for being in the center ring.
Everyone else can say those things too, but only to people in larger rings.
When you are talking to a person in a ring smaller than yours, someone closer to the center of the crisis, the goal is to help. Listening is often more helpful than talking. But if you're going to open your mouth, ask yourself if what you are about to say is likely to provide comfort and support. If it isn't, don't say it. Don't, for example, give advice. People who are suffering from trauma don't need advice. They need comfort and support. So say, "I'm sorry" or "This must really be hard for you" or "Can I bring you a pot roast?" Don't say, "You should hear what happened to me" or "Here's what I would do if I were you." And don't say, "This is really bringing me down."
If you want to scream or cry or complain, if you want to tell someone how shocked you are or how icky you feel, or whine about how it reminds you of all the terrible things that have happened to you lately, that's fine. It's a perfectly normal response. Just do it to someone in a bigger ring.
Comfort IN, dump OUT.
See the most-read stories this hour >>
There was nothing wrong with Katie's friend saying she was not prepared for how horrible Katie looked, or even that she didn't think she could handle it. The mistake was that she said those things to Pat. She dumped IN.
Complaining to someone in a smaller ring than yours doesn't do either of you any good. On the other hand, being supportive to her principal caregiver may be the best thing you can do for the patient.
Most of us know this. Almost nobody would complain to the patient about how rotten she looks. Almost no one would say that looking at her makes them think of the fragility of life and their own closeness to death. In other words, we know enough not to dump into the center ring. Ring Theory merely expands that intuition and makes it more concrete: Don't just avoid dumping into the center ring, avoid dumping into any ring smaller than your own.
Remember, you can say whatever you want if you just wait until you're talking to someone in a larger ring than yours.
And don't worry. You'll get your turn in the center ring. You can count on that.

The New Jersey Devils have re-signed three-time All-Star center Patrik Elias. A league source tells ESPN.com's Pierre LeBrun that Elias received a three-year deal worth $16.5 million.
Elias, who was set to become an unrestricted free agent Friday, has spent his entire 17-year career with the Devils and is the franchise's all-time leader in goals (375) and assists (555). He ranks third in franchise history with 1,090 games played.
"To [general manager] Lou [Lamoriello], all my teammates and Devils fans, I'm excited to sign a new contract and be back with New Jersey," Elias said in a statement released through his agent. "This year marks my 17th year with the Devils, and it's very special to be a member of one organization for my entire career. We've shared some great moments together, and I look forward to working with everyone to create new ones. Go Devils!"
Patrik Elias, who is the New Jersey Devils' all-time leading scorer, re-signed with the team before he was set to become a free agent. Kevin Hoffman/US Presswire
Elias, 37, led the Devils with 36 points last season, registering 14 goals and 22 assists in 48 games.
A member of two Stanley Cup-winning teams in New Jersey, Elias said late last season that he was hopeful of re-signing with the Devils, whom he started his career with in 1995 when he was drafted in the second round.
New Jersey also re-signed veteran forward Dainius Zubrus to a three-year, $9.3 million contract. A person familiar with the deal revealed the terms to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the Devils didn't release those numbers.
Zubrus is a 16-year NHL veteran, who has spent the past six seasons with New Jersey.
New Jersey is expected to lose forward David Clarkson, who will test free agency on Friday. Forwards Steve Sullivan, Alexei Ponikarovsky and defenseman Marek Zidlicky are also eligible to become unrestricted free agents.
Also Thursday, The Newark Star-Ledger reported that the Devils bought out the final year of goaltender Johan Hedberg's contract. He was set to count $1.4 million against the salary cap.
Hedberg, 40, the backup to Martin Brodeur the past three seasons, was made expendable when the Devils acquired Cory Schneider in a draft-day trade with the Vancouver Canucks.

A dazzling star explosion discovered in the night sky last week is the brightest nova seen from Earth in at least five years and it's visible now to the naked eye.
The Nova Delphinus 2013 star explosion can be seen by the naked eye from places without too much light pollution, skywatching experts say. The stellar phenomenon is expected to be visible for weeks to come, and its location in the night sky should make the nova easy for even novice stargazers to spot.
"The nova is easy to locate north of the lovely star pattern of Delphinus. And the constellation Sagitta, the Arrow, points right toward it," Tony Flanders, associate editor of Sky & Telescope, said in a statement. [See Stargazer Photos of Nova Delphinus 2013 (Gallery)]
Arne Henden, who is director of the American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO), added that the nova will be easily visible in the eastern sky starting in the early evening.
"The nova can be seen with binoculars even from light-polluted metropolitan areas," Henden said in a statement. "Hundreds of observers, many for the first time, have submitted brightness estimates of the nova to the AAVSO."
In the last 112 years, 47 novas have brightened into naked-eye view and novas as bright as Nova Delphinus 2013 occur about every 10 years, skywatching experts say. The new nova has also been referred to as Nova Delphini 2013.
This Sky & Telescope sky chart shows the location of the newly discovered nova in the constellation Delphinus, discovered in August. Sky & Telescope magazine
Nova Delphinus 2013 was discovered by Koichi Itagaki of Yamagata, Japan, in an image taken on Aug. 14. Itagaki noticed a bright spot that was not present in a photo of the sky that he took the previous day.
Before erupting, the nova was apparently a dull magnitude +17 star on the scale used by astronomers to measure the brightness of night sky objects, in which higher numbers denote dimmer objects. The threshold of what the human eye can see is about magnitude +6.5.
But Nova Delphinus 2013 increased in brightness by about 100,000 times when it reached a peak magnitude 4.5 on Aug. 16. Now the nova is holding steady at magnitude 4.9, but its intensity could change.
"It could remain at this brightness for many more days, it could rebrighten, or it could fade rapidly," Henden explained.
A typical nova occurs in a binary system where one at least one star is a white dwarf, a tiny, super-dense core of a star. Its companion star sends a stream of hydrogen onto the white dwarf and when that gaseous layer grows thick and dense enough, a runaway hydrogen-fusion reaction is set off.
Unlike in supernovas, white dwarfs survive novas, and the process may repeat in a few years to tens of thousands of years.

Jeff Ross said it’s been tough to change shopping habits of longtime Hill District residents after 30 years without a full-service grocery, but sales at the Shop ‘n Save he opened there in 2013 are climbing.
Ross, 57, of North Huntingdon, who operates six other Shop ‘n Save stories in the region, said sales are up about $2,000 per month — about 2 percent — over 2014. Ross recently celebrated his second year at the Centre Avenue location.
“It’s not anything anybody’s going to get rich on, put it that way, but it’s sustainability,” he said.
He said he was disappointed that a Rand Corp. study published last week found 68 percent of the Hill’s 10,450 residents visit the store at least once monthly.
The study noted that eating habits of residents have improved somewhat since the store opened, but they couldn’t link the change to the new store.
“Only 68 percent, that’s the disheartening part. We want them all,” Ross said. “It’s very hard to change people’s shopping habits.”
Residents complained for years about the lack of a grocery, saying it was difficult for seniors and non-drivers to find transportation for shopping in other neighborhoods.
Kevin Acklin, who chairs the Urban Redevelopment Authority and serves as chief of staff for Mayor Bill Peduto, said the supermarket is an important part of development in the neighborhood.
“We think it’s a core asset that’s necessary for a neighborhood like the Hill District to function and grow,” Acklin said. “Our expectation is as we invest in housing and other opportunities in the greater Hill District, you’re going to see even more demand for use of that grocery store.”
The Hill House Association and Economic Development Corp. built the $11.5 million grocery and adjoining retail space in the Centre Heldman Plaza.
The project received nearly $4 million in public subsidies, including $1.9 million in federal tax credits, $1 million from the Urban Redevelopment Authority and a $789,000 federal grant. Ross and the Penguins each invested $1 million.
Betty Dunbar, 67, of the Hill District said she shops at the store about three times a week.
“A lot of seniors around here, we don’t have to go so far to get a loaf of bread now,” Dunbar said. “It’s convenient.”
Hill House President and CEO Cheryl Hall Russell said the organization is working to attract tenants to fill two unoccupied storefronts in the plaza. Hill House is negotiating with former Steelers defensive back J.T. Thomas, who wants to open a Crazy Mocha coffee shop in one of the spaces.
“The ball is moving, and I feel very confident right now that it should happen probably sometime in the spring,” Thomas said.
A Dollar Bank branch, a Subway sandwich shop and a Farmer’s Insurance office are leasing remaining spaces from the organization.
Shannon Faulhaber, 31, Ross’ daughter and the store’s chief operating officer, said the store has offered promotions and reached out to residents moving into the neighborhood to boost business.
Faulhaber sent 200 “welcome packs” including gift cards, coupons and other items to new residents of the Skyline Terrace development on the site of the former Addison Terrace projects.
The store is working with Hill House to place a sign on Centre Avenue and hopes to capitalize on housing planned for the neighborhood, including development of the former Civic Arena site.
“Our goal was to satisfy a request from folks in the Hill District for a full-service supermarket, and that, I know, we’ve provided, and we’ve provided it at affordable prices,” Ross said.

Surviving In The Desert When you're stranded in the desert without anything, but the shirt on your back, it's important to know where to get water, how to conserve your energy, and what to do about getting back to civilization. Continue reading this section to learn these essential survival skills for making it out of the desert alive.
Disclaimer: The survival tips on this website are for informational purposes only. The authors take no responsibility for the reader's individual actions or usage of the information presented on this page.
1. STOP and Think Use the Boy Scouts mnemonic device of "STOP", which stands for "Stop, Think, Observe, and Plan".
You've just discovered that you are stranded in the desert. You're unsure about whether or not rescue will be arriving. Here is the list of survival actions:
1. Collect drinking water.
2. Find shelter during the day.
3. Wait to see if rescure arrives.
4. Travel at night in one direction until you reach civilization.
5. Find a source of food.
Finding Water Your first priority should be to find a source of drinking water. A human can survive over 3 weeks without food, but only 3 to 4 days without water. Any attempt you make at surviving in the desert is going to fail unless you can keep yourself properly hydrated.
Common sources of water:
Dried-Up River Beds:
If you are able to find a dried-up riverbed, check to see if the ground is still damp. Water can be easily acquired by digging a hole in the surface of the river bed.
Morning Dew:
Collect any dew that forms on plants in the early morning before the sun rises and it evaporates. Every drop counts and while this method doesn't provide much, it is still essential that you add whatever water you can to your reserves.
Collect Rain Water:
Catch rain water with any materials that can be laid out flat over a wide surface area. Use the material to funnel the water into your container.
Cactus Pulp:
Cacti can be a valuable source of water. By cutting open the cactus, the inside pulp can be sucked out and extracted to provide a source of water.
Solar Water Still:
If you have a sheet of plastic or tarp (no holes) available, then make a solar water still.
How to Create a Solar Water Still:
Step 1: Dig a hole in the sand or dirt that is deep and wide enough to hold your container.
Step 2: Place the container in the center of the hole.
Step 3: Fill the gaps surrounding the container with anything wet, such as cacti, plants, or even urine.
Step 4: Place your plastic sheet over the hole.
Step 5: Anchor the sheet in place with larger rocks around the edges of the hole.
Step 6: Place a small rock in the center of the plastic, just over the container.
Step 7: Condensation will occur on the underside of the plastic and run down to the center. It will drip into the container filling it with distilled drinking water.
3. Finding Food Food requires the need for water, so unless youu have established an abundant source of water, it is recommended that you do not eat.
Cactus Fruit
Most cactus fruit is safe for eating. The fruit can be a source of food as well as a possible source of water.
4. Traveling/Resting It's important to make sure that while you travel and look for the next town or civilization that you do not exhaust your energy or lose hydration through excessive perspiration.
Travel At Night:
Traveling during the day will expose you to the sun. This will increase your body temperature and as a result, you will sweat more, resulting in a loss of hydration. Make sure to only travel during sunset, at night, and in the early morning.
Rest During The Day:
If possible, find shade during the day to keep yourself out of the direct sunlight. This will keep you from sweating so you won't lose your hydration faster.
Walk In Same Direction:
If you don't have a compass and there is no chance of rescue, then the only possible solution is to walk out of the desert. Since the desert is so expansive, you may run the risk of walking in circles. While walking, be sure to use the sun as an indicator of west and east. Use distant landmarks (eg. rock formations, cliffs) to use as a reference guide. Use a distant landmark behind you, that you are walking away from, as further confirmation that you are heading in a straight direction.
5. Find a Shelter Shelter plays an important role in keeping your body temperature regulated.
When it's daylight, try to stay out of sun and find shelter in the shade. Large rocks or hanging cliffs can help to block any direct sunlight.
The natural tendency in a hot environment is to remove clothing, but refrain from doing so. Your clothing will keep you from perspiring and losing hydration. It will also protect your skin from sunburn.
If you have a selection of clothing, always opt for lighter colors. Darker colors will absorb more heat.
6. Beware Predators The desert can seem void of life during the day, however, most of the predators in the desert are nocturnal and only come out at night.
Predators to be cautious of:
Mammals
Bobcats, Mountain Lions, Coyotes, and Javelinas (Wild Pigs) are among the predators to watch out for. If you are able to create a weapon of any kind, it might help to have for self defense.
Insects/Spiders
In some regions, the desert is habitat to scorpions and brown recluse spiders. Always make sure to keep your shirt tucked in and your pant legs pinched. While sleeping at night, try to keep as much of your body clothed and off the ground as possible.
7. Getting Rescued While you are waiting for rescue, the most important item you can have is a mirror. A mirror or any reflective surface can be used to signal planes as they fly over. The reflective surface of a mirror can be used to signal a plane from beyond the horizon.

Isn't this highly hypocritical on their part, in claiming to be scientific?
1. The belief is dumb and absurd
2. There is no evidence for the deity
3. Only God is the true God
I mean, a monster about pasta and meatballs? Isn't this belief insane and crazy? Where is the evidence? And why do atheists make churches and books based off an imaginary creature?

Nicolas Sarkozy also threatens to pull the French army out of Afghanistan early after an Afghan soldier shot dead four soldiers
France is suspending military training operations in Afghanistan and considering whether to withdraw its entire force early after four French soldiers were killed by an Afghan soldier in the Taghab valley of eastern Kapisa province.
The shootings on Friday were the latest of several in which western soldiers have been killed by members of the Afghan security forces, undermining trust in the runup to the withdrawal of foreign combat troops in 2014.
The French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, announced that France would temporarily stop all its training operations and co-operation with Afghan troops. He immediately dispatched the French defence minister, Gerard Longuet, to Afghanistan to establish whether "conditions were safe" for French soldiers. He said if safe conditions were not clearly established France would consider an early withdrawal of all its troops from Afghanistan.
"If the conditions of security are not clearly restored, then the question of an early withdrawal of the French army would arise," Sarkozy said.
"The French army is in Afghanistan at the service of the Afghans against terrorism and against the Taliban. The French army is not in Afghanistan so that Afghan soldiers can shoot at them," he added.
The French foreign minister, Alain Juppé, later said that while four French soldiers were killed, 15 more were wounded, eight of them seriously. He said "our soldiers are in Afghanistan to help the Afghan people and the Afghan army in their fight for freedom and democracy. It is incomprehensible and unacceptable that soldiers in the Afghan army murder French soldiers."
He brushed aside the question that the issue of troops in Afghanistan might be being used for electoral purposes, three months before Sarkozy stands for re-election, saying the soldiers' deaths were "a tragedy".
He said France now wanted "credible assurance" from the Afghan government that it had stepped up security in its recruitment process to the Afghan army and that French troops were safe. If not, France would consider pulling troops out early.
A total of 82 French soldiers have died in Afghanistan since the start of the conflict in 2001. There are currently 3,600 French troops in the country and a large part of their role is training the Afghan army. | positive |

Acer unveiled an amazing new PC at IFA 2015 today, called the Revo Build.
It’s a modular computer that allows you to build your own computer by magnetically adding components. If you want to add a new hard disk, graphics card or other add-on, you just snap them on.
There are no cables and the device automatically recognizes the components as they’re added. At launch, there’s a core block containing the processor and memory, an audio block, power block and storage block.
Acer says it’ll release updated add-ons for the device for new graphics cards, Wi-Fi standards and more.
One of the add-ons is a portable battery block which can be used to charge your phone.
Acer said that it wants the Revo to “empower users” to build their own computer, without the hassle of learning how to wire one up.
The Revo Build runs Windows 10 and pricing is expected to start at €249. Acer didn’t detail when the Reva Build will be available, nor where it’ll be released.
Update: The Acer Revo Build M1-601 will be available across Europe, the Middle East and Africa in October with prices starting at $223 (€199), and in China in December with a starting price of $314 (¥1,999).

CNN's Cafferty: Bush putting the poor out in the cold to fund war Mike Aivaz and Nick Juliano
Published: Tuesday October 23, 2007
del.icio.us
Print This Email This Amid $190 billion Iraq request, 30 million Americans won't be able to heat homes this winter As he prepares to ask for $190 billion to fund the war in Iraq, President Bush refuses to approve an extra half-billion dollars that help one in four American households pay skyrocketing home-heating bills this winter. The debate illustrates what critics say are Bush's out-of-wack spending priorities, after he vetoed a popular measure that would have expanded healthcare available to poor children. "No money for kids' health insurance, no money to help poor families pay their heating bills but President Bush wants $190 billion additional for 2008 for his wars in Iraq and Afghanistan," CNN commentator Jack Cafferty said Monday. "Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says the president's new request means the cost of Iraq war is now approaching $650 billion. I wonder if the Democrats will give him the money." Rising oil prices are creating a "heat or eat" dilemma for families struggling near or below the poverty line. "Parents know that children can freeze to death more quickly than they starve to death, and so most decrease food purchases first to pay for heat," wrote Dr. Deborah A. Frank, director of the Grow Clinic for Children, and Joseph P. Kennedy II, chairman and president of Citizens Energy Corp., in the Boston Globe Sunday. The home heating debate involves grants distributed through the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, known as LIHEAP. The program operates with an annual budget of $2.16 billion -- just $300 million more than when the program started in 1991, as Cafferty notes. The House wants to bump LIHEAP funding to $2.66 billion per year, while the Senate has approved a bill that would maintain its current funding level, which would only cover 16 percent of the 38 million eligible American households, according to Reuters. But even static funding is too much for Bush, who wants to cut the program to $1.78 billion for fiscal year 2008. That's less than 1 percent of the $192 billion he has requested to fund dual wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and it amounts to about a week's worth of Pentagon war spending, according to CNN. The following video is from CNN's Cafferty File Jack Cafferty, broadcast on October 22, 2007

Story highlights Eleanor Parker was a big screen leading lady during the 1940s
Parker was nominated for best actress Oscars three times in the 1950s
She played the baroness who wanted to send the von Trapp children to a boarding school
Actress Eleanor Parker, nominated for three Oscars and known for her "Sound of Music" role, died Monday at 91, her family said.
Parker died at a medical facility near her Palm Springs, California, home from complications related to pneumonia, according to director Richard Gale, who is a family friend.
Her acting career began on stage as a teenager, but it was a performance at the Pasadena Playhouse that led Warner Bros. to sign her to a studio contract on her 18th birthday.
She became a big screen leading lady during the 1940s, making her film debut in 1941 in "They Died with Their Boots On." Her early notable movies included "Pride of the Marines" in 1945 and "Voice of the Turtle" -- opposite Ronald Reagan -- in 1947.
The 1950s brought Parker to another level of stardom, including three best actress Oscar nominations.
The first Academy Award nomination came in 1950 for her portrayal of a terrorized prison inmate in "Caged." Parker was nominated again in 1951 for playing Kirk Douglas' wife in "Detective Story." A third Oscar bid followed in 1955 for her role as the polio-stricken opera star Marjorie Lawrence in "Interrupted Melody."
Despite a long list of other distinguished film roles -- including opposite Frank Sinatra in Otto Preminger's "The Man with the Golden Arm" (1955) and Clark Gable in "The King and Four Queens"(1956) -- it was a smaller role that audiences today are most likely to recognize.
Parker played the baroness who wanted to send the von Trapp children to a boarding school in the 1965 classic "The Sound of Music."
Although the stage and screen occupied the first several decades of her half-century acting career, she stayed busy working on television shows in the 1970s onward. She starred in NBC's "Bracken's World" in 1969. Her resume included three made-for-TV movies: ABC's "Once Upon a Spy" in 1980, NBC's "Madame X" in 1981 and TNT's "Dead on the Money" in 1991.
Parker also acted in a 1986 episode of CBS' "Murder, She Wrote." | positive |
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Mexican and Colombian officials working with U.S. agents have seized about $41 million in cash hidden in shipping containers, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency announced Monday.
Colombian authorities seized $11.2 million in U.S. currency in Buenaventura, Colombia, on September 9.
The U.S. agency, commonly called ICE, says the seizures were made September 9-18. It called them the largest seizure of cash ever found in shipping containers destined for Colombia and the largest for the agency since its inception.
According to ICE:
• On September 9, Colombian customs inspectors and Colombian national police, acting on intelligence reports, seized $11.2 million in U.S. currency hidden in two shipping containers. The containers were aboard a vessel that sailed from the Port of Manzanillo, Mexico, and was headed to Buenaventura, Colombia. Colombian customs inspectors said it was the most cash ever seized by police at a port in the nation.
• On September 10, a second seizure of U.S. currency estimated at $11.2 million also was made at the Buenaventura port.
• On September 11, a shipment of $11 million was discovered hidden inside two shipping containers at the Port of Manzanillo.
• On September 14, ICE special agents, along with Colombian authorities, discovered three additional shipping containers in Buenaventura containing about $5 million in $100 and $50 bills. These shipping containers also originated in Manzanillo.
• On September 18, authorities seized $2.15 million in $100 bills concealed inside two containers aboard a vessel that arrived in Manzanillo.
"This seizure represents a bad day for organized crime," ICE Director John Morton said at a Monday news conference in Washington. "Forty-one million dollars is not a rounding error. The loss of that kind of money hurts."
All of the money was concealed in sacks of fertilizer chemicals in containers transported on commercial ships, Morton said. Watch investigators uncover cash »
"When it's packed in very large containers, it's extremely difficult to probe; it's extremely difficult to X-ray. And so it was a very good means of concealing currency," he said.
The ports of Buenaventura and Manzanillo are key points along a well-known route used for smuggling cocaine northward to Mexico and then on to the United States, and for sending cash back into Colombia, where most of the cocaine originates, ICE said in a news release.
Morton called the smugglers "very, very sophisticated," saying they were using the lawful shipping trade to send drug profits from the U.S. through Mexico to Colombia.
Morton said the money will be forfeited in accordance with the laws of the nations where it was seized, with Colombia keeping $28 million and Mexico getting $13 million.
"None of these monies will be forfeited to the United States," he said.
While large, this month's cash seizure is not a record. In March of 2007, officials in Mexico officials confiscated $207 million in cash in what was then called the largest drug-related cash seizure in history.
ICE is the largest investigative arm of the Department of Homeland Security, investigating financial crime, trade fraud, narcotics smuggling and cash smuggling, the agency said. ICE was established in 2003 after the Homeland Security Act of 2002.
CNN's Mike M. Ahlers and Elaine Quijano contributed to this report.

Kids can say some pretty extreme things in the moments immediately following huge victories or crushing defeats, but it certainly sounds as though Donovan Mitchell -- at least for the time being — has his heart set on returning to Louisville for one more season.
Donovan Mitchell: "I can't wait. I can't wait to win a national championship next year. So, I can't wait." #L1C4 pic.twitter.com/pU5gobOZyP — Spectrum Sports KY (@SpecSportsKY) March 19, 2017
It Mitchell does in fact spurn the NBA Draft, then Louisville will return its four leading scorers from this year’s team, and seven of its top eight contributors. The Cards will also be bringing in a top 10 recruiting class that features four players who all figure to fight for playing time right out of the gate.
That combination of factors already has some setting lofty goals for the Rick Pitino’s 2017-18 team.
If Donovan Mitchell returns, Louisville could push for preseason No. 1. If not, they'll still be very, very good: https://t.co/kns9Tlnlcd — Jeff Borzello (@jeffborzello) March 19, 2017
It all seems so far away right now, and a lot can happen between now and October, but there certainly seems to be a very strong possibility that we all look back on the pain of this moment as a necessary precursor to something greater.
None of that makes right now any easier to stomach, but hopefully in a few weeks that will change. | positive |

If this is your first time going to one, keep in mind that you should only use the tanning bed for several minutes at a time. This is because you first have to check your skin’s reaction to the tanning. You may increase the duration later on, but never more than 20 minutes. Learn more about tanning by reading this article. Safety of Tanning Salon A very important thing you need to know is the safety of using tanning beds in tanning salons. Obviously, you’re there to achieve a golden tan but it shouldn’t come at the expense of your well-being and health. Generally speaking, tanning beds in salons are safe to use. But it’s imperative that you follow safety guidelines and some common sense. First of all, you should wear lotion to keep your skin protected from harmful UV rays. You can get this from the salon or buy one for yourself. There are many such products in drug stores. You should also consider wearing goggles to protect your eyes. In fact, you should keep your eyes covered not only to avoid health problems but also to prevent wrinkles from forming. When it comes to tanning, the key is not to overdo it. If you notice skin irritation, it’s time to stop, at least temporarily. Getting a good tan is nice but your number one priority should be your safety. Are Tanning Salon Beds Dangerous? Exposing your body to UV light always poses some danger. Although generally speaking, getting a natural tan at the beach is more dangerous than getting a tan in a salon. But to ensure your safety, you should know how to use a tanning bed. If you’re unsure, seek assistance from the salon staff. Some studies have shown a link between skin cancer and the use of tanning beds. However, the risks go down significantly if you simply follow safety guidelines. Again, the key is not to overdo it. Start at the lowest levels until you’re sure of how your body reacts to the tanning. Keep it at 5-minute sessions if you’re new to tanning beds and just increase it to no more than 20 minutes per session if you’ve been frequenting tanning salons already. What are the Long-Term Effects of Going to Tanning Salons? Many women do worry about the long-term effects of using tanning beds. The truth is, there are some issues you need to worry about. Tanning beds can change your skin and eyes as well as your overall health. There have also been documented cases of users developing skin cancer although these, for the most part, are because of excessive use of tanning beds. They are usually those who use tanning beds several times a day or they stay in the tanning bed for extended periods. The good news is, that you can greatly reduce the risks if you simply take extra precautions and use your better judgment. As mentioned earlier, using lotion and protective eyewear (goggles) can significantly prevent the dangers of UV exposure. Limiting your use of tanning beds is also advised. Keeping your sessions short (no more than 10 minutes) will prevent you from developing unwanted effects. Can Pregnant Women Go to Tanning Salon? The consensus is not to use tanning beds when you’re pregnant. Most doctors advise their pregnant patients against using tanning beds although some give the go-signal as long as you keep it to no more than a few minutes at a time. If you think it’s important that you go to a salon, make sure you don’t overdo it and drink lots of water. But as much as possible, don’t go to a tanning salon if you’re pregnant. Are You at Risk for Skin Cancer? As mentioned earlier, there are documented reports of people developing cancer after frequent visits to tanning salons or excessive use of tanning beds. However, the risk is much higher for those who: Have fair skin Have a green, blue, or gray eyes Gets sunburn easily Have red or blond hair Have a family history of skin cancer Tanning in salons is better than tanning at the beach. It’s also safer. But that’s not to say you shouldn’t take precautions. As with anything else, make sure you follow guidelines to ensure your safety.

Perhaps my lifelong dream of driving a train needs to be rethought.
Although the STM is hiring train operators, it’s sadly clear to me that I shouldn’t quit my day job, because it’s much harder than it looks to drive a métro full of passengers through the city’s underground.
I got to test my mettle this week when the STM let me try its state-of-the-art métro simulator, bought at a cost of $2.5 million to train operators before the arrival of the Azur métro cars. The new trains, which along with the necessary infrastructure improvements cost $2.4 billion, began rolling out in February 2016.
“It was important to get the simulator, because we had to train the drivers on the trains before they arrived in Montreal,” explained Annie Fontaine, a training and development councillor for the Société de transport de Montréal.
Operators go through 26 days of training before they can drive the new trains. Those who already drive the older-models spend only five days to update their skills for the new model.
It has been more than 30 years since the STM purchased new trains, and much of the technology has changed, Fontaine said. Newer trains can give drivers a diagnostic readout when something goes wrong. They also have cameras so they can show drivers the inside of each car. All that information can be hard to decipher, Fontaine said, and can be a lot to take in for drivers used to the older trains.
“It’s different for operators to have three computer screens in front of them,” she said. “The train really speaks to them, so they have to learn to consult the different screens to diagnose the problem.”
Like the old trains, however, the new trains have an autopilot that stops at the right spot in the station and adjusts its speed and braking distance based on how many people are on the train, as calculated by the weight of the cars.
“It’s definitely very autonomous, but there are times when you have to drive it manually,” Fontaine said.
She added some drivers prefer to operate the train manually most of the time, while others prefer to keep it on automatic mode.
Driving the simulator felt like being on the train. Its moves and shakes were true to life, and the huge screen in front of the windshield showed accurate depictions of the tunnels and each of the STM’s 68 stations.
Getting the train moving in manual mode took a forceful push on the throttle, and keeping it up at the target of 72 kilometres per hour was also difficult. I got to open and close the doors (which automatically triggers that signature doo doo doo sound), honk the horn and stop the train at the end of the platform, which I found to be the hardest part.
It was difficult to get the train to stop in the right place. Taking your hand off the throttle only puts the train into neutral mode. Pulling it back hard engages the emergency brake, and brings the whole train to a dead stop. Then there are a series of buttons and switches you have to toggle before getting the train moving again. It’s key to stop the train at the right spot. Too early, and the entire train doesn’t enter the platform. Stop too late, and the doors won’t open.
On my first attempt, I couldn’t even manage to stop at all, blowing through my first station and leaving the hundreds of virtual passengers on the platform virtually fuming.
Fontaine said experienced métro operators can adjust the braking distance based on the momentum of the train, which they can feel on the throttle, to stop at the correct spot every time. That’s something I’ll appreciate the next time I’m in a train.
Perhaps the most surprising aspect of driving the métro was realizing how long it takes for them to come to a complete stop. Engaging the emergency brake is the fastest way to stop, but it still takes several seconds because of the momentum of the cars (25,000 pounds for each of the Azur’s nine cars when fully loaded with passengers).
The simulator can show all kinds of scenarios for drivers to learn on: people who fall ill on the platform, something blocking the doors, objects on the tracks, and passengers communicating with an operator for medical problems.
😱 That virtual métro worker had a wife and children you know… We're glad @JasonMagder only got to drive a simulator! — STM (@stm_nouvelles) June 21, 2017
One particularly difficult situation showed STM employees doing work on the track as I approached. I drove right through and killed a virtual worker (apologies to his virtual family), though I stopped on time to save a toolbox that was left on the track.
STM simulator operator Alain Charette called this a highly improbable scenario (the STM will generally shut down the métro to do work on the track), but it made me realize that travelling at top speed, people on the track come up very quickly, and it is impossible to stop in time.

Emily Yoffe, aka Dear Prudence, is online weekly to chat live with readers. An edited transcript of the chat is below. (Sign up here to get Dear Prudence delivered to your inbox each week. Read Prudie’s Slate columns here. Send questions to Prudence at prudence@slate.com.)
Emily Yoffe: Good afternoon, everyone. I’m looking forward to your questions.
Q. Ship Without a Pendant : I am a senior military officer in a smaller branch and have been married almost 30 years. Our children are grown; my wife is utterly miserable. She hates my calling, its protocol and social requirements, my colleagues, and my constant travel. When I return she blasts me with torrents of abuse, screams at me for trivialities, and then threatens me with divorce—but we remain married. We’ve talked separation but we have moved so much she has nowhere to go. She says she will only divorce me if she can have “the same lifestyle she has now” but that’s just impossible given the work perks I get as a flag officer. Failing that she says if I file for divorce she will “destroy” my reputation and force me to retire in disgrace. (While I’ve led an honorable life, she could throw enough mud to take me out of the running for promotion, and I am competitive for higher rank.) If I lose my wife my career will be destroyed; if I retire for my wife I believe the misery will just continue. What should I do? My personal life is a lonely disaster. We have no real friends left, not wanting to expose our failings. We sleep in separate rooms, scarcely speak privately, and smile only for the cameras. Our active official life masks the truth but not the misery.
A: Here you are, a man trained to confront and vanquish the enemy, and you go home each night to endless combat, a fight you appear to be losing. Obviously, I don’t know what’s wrong with your wife. But you might want to take a look at some of the literature on borderline personality disorder and see it that sends up any flares of recognition. Your wife is fiendishly clever, I’ll give her that. Her terms are that you can separate, as long as she enjoys the same perks she does as the wife of a high-ranking officer, which is an impossibility. Or, if you unilaterally try to end the marriage, she will destroy your career out of spite. That, of course, would have a material effect on her financial comfort, but it sounds as if she’d prefer revenge. Your wife is unstable and potentially dangerous to you, so you need to discuss your strategy with some professionals. Talk to a psychologist—one with expertise in personality disorders—and a lawyer—one with expertise in the military. You can speak to both confidentially, so don’t hold back. You need to consider all your alternatives and contingencies, and put the best plan possible in place for protecting yourself and your career. With the lawyer, figure out what dirt your wife might fling, and how to contain it. You have been living in abject misery for years, but only you can decide how much longer you can bear feeling like a hostage in your own home.
Q. Paranoid Husband: My husband is a big fan of yours. Unfortunately, every time he reads about an unhappy wife in one of your columns, he accuses me of writing it! There is usually some detail in each letter that doesn’t match our circumstances. He still thinks I’m the writer if those letters, pointing out that it would be smart to change the details in order to throw him off track. How can I convince him that I’m not writing letters to you?
A: Any woman would be an unhappy wife if her husband saw himself in every letter that started, “He’s wonderful, but [fill in horror story here].” Paranoia is debilitating to all in its circle. I am sorry if every time the column mentions an unhappy wife, you get interrogated. You say your husband is a fan, so let me have a word with him: “Husband, since you are a regular reader, I bet you can guess what’s coming next. Yes, you need help. Your wife’s actual complaint about you is that you see yourself in every bad husband described here. I know one solution would be for you to stop reading the column—but I don’t want to lose you as a reader! And I suspect you’d just find some other way to badger your wife about how she feels about you.” So, Wife, if your husband doesn’t recognize himself this time and take action, you must insist that the two of you see a neutral party (who is not an advice columnist) to air out what’s actually going on. Your husband needs to explore why he thinks you have so many problems with him and why he recognizes himself in every bad husband.
Q. I’m a Rape Baby … Now What?: Recently, my brother and I did DNA tests from 23andMe, after which we found out that were are not, as we had always believed, brother and sister but actually half siblings. I asked my mother about it and was told that she was raped at a party, has no idea who the man was, and doesn’t want to speak about it again. From the vague story she told me, I believe that this was not a violent encounter, but more a too-drunk-to-consent situation. I am not in any way trying to invalidate her feelings, but I can’t help but think that there may be a decent guy out there who believes he had a one-night stand with a girl at a party in the early ’80s. Should I let sleeping dogs lie, or make an effort to find the man in question? Obviously, I wish to respect my mother’s wishes, but also think I have a right to know.
A: I sometimes think these genetic testing companies should just call themselves, “Who’s My Daddy?” This kind of discovery is one of the unexpected outcomes that occurs when you’re just trying to find out if you have any Native American ancestry or if you’re at increased risk for diabetes. Your mother says she was raped at a party and doesn’t want to give you the details. If she was passed out, even if the man didn’t use overt violence, he committed rape, and you can understand that your mother doesn’t want to revisit this. It could well be she can’t tell you who the “decent guy” was because she simply doesn’t know. Maybe she does, but she’s not saying. I totally agree that people are entitled to this kind of information about themselves, but as long as your mother sticks with her account, you are not getting it. Of course this news has rocked you, and what’s important now is how you process it and put it in it’s place. Lots of people say they want to know their biological origins for medical reasons. But you’ve already taken care of a lot of that with the test results. Since there’s only one possible source of information, and she’s not talking, you should let this go for now. Let your mother regain her equilibrium, and see, if over time, she seems more amenable to reopening this issue. You may also find that as time goes by, finding out about a man you never knew, and whose identity you may never know, will feel less urgent.
Q. Re: Ship Without a Pendant: The LW needs to talk to a chaplain. Even if the LW isn’t religious, the chaplain will have resources for marriage counseling and help through the military, and believe me, military chaplains have seen and helped a lot of badly broken marriages. The LW should use the resources at hand as well as outside help.
A: Thanks, good suggestion.
Q. Thank You Notes: What’s the deal with people not sending thank you notes these days? I have sent gifts to several wedding couples recently (relatives, stepsiblings, kids of good friends), and not one of them has responded with a word of thanks, written or verbal. This p—-s me off to the point that I want to call them up and tell them what incredibly bad manners they have. Do us gift-givers just suck it up, or is there some way to seek our revenge?
A: During graduation season I was thinking that if I were to give a commencement address it would open with: “Write thank you notes.” Often people dismiss this obligation as some fusty leftover from an oppressively formal time. It’s not. Thank you notes touch on some basic and universal human issues of respect and reciprocity. It is maddening to go out of your way to do something generous for someone and not have your efforts acknowledged. The young graduates who write their thanks to people who interview them or help them in their job search will absolutely stand out from the crowd. As for your young marrieds, don’t compound their rudeness with your own by reaming them out. If you have sent a gift that was not acknowledged, it’s perfectly fine to inquire of the recipients whether it arrived. Things do get lost, after all. If that doesn’t prompt a thank you, then consider it a financial boon. For couples who can’t express appreciation for a wedding gift, feel free to skip sending something for the baby shower.
Q. Too Many Ex-Boyfriends: I am post-grad who like many others, has dated a few people in my social group. I recently met and fell in love with a man I plan to marry (via online dating) and introduced him to my social group at a large party. One of the guys I dated briefly was there and my man was very upset. He says he doesn’t like being around guys I slept with. I think he should just get over it but he says I need to stop going to places where my “past is around.” What say you?
A: I say hold off on the wedding planning. It sounds as if you have gotten engaged really quickly if your friends are only now meeting your fiancé. There are people who consider being virgins when they marry to be an important value. Presumably, you and your fiancé are not among these people. Yet he wants you to strike from your social group anyone who may have had previous intimate knowledge of you. Let’s say you had been married before and had had a child with your ex. I assume the father of your kid would not be verboten because he reminded your new love that you had loved someone else. Extreme jealousy is highly destructive to a relationship. Your boyfriend is exhibiting a bad case of it, which should put your planning for the future on pause.
Q. Re: Ship without a pendant: I second going to the chaplain. I would also note that you have complete confidentiality when talking to chaplains. So you can feel safe to tell them anything. I have served as a JAG in the military and I would also pass along a piece of advice that I’ve given everyone from E-1 to flag officers—if you think your wife is going to throw mud at you, tell your superior officer about the possibility. It’s embarrassing, but my experience is that your superiors will take it better if they have a heads up from you than if they hear from her out of the blue. It might not solve the issue but it could help with damage control.
A: Thanks for this insight, especially about pre-emptively warning his superiors. Obviously, he only wants to do that if he’s sure his wife is going to war.
Q. #HotGirlProblems: I started a new job several months ago. Almost immediately, I picked up on the repeated appearance of a certain co-worker whenever I go to lunch. This might sound like a coincidence, but we work downtown in a major city and I always leave the building to go to lunch. I go at different times of day (and not on the hour) and sit in different plazas and food courts but I see him sitting in the background more often than not. It is creepy. I didn’t tell anyone about this because I don’t want to seem paranoid or like I’m flattering myself about having a “stalker.” But today I walked to a new location 10 minutes away from work and he walked right in front of me and waved! I waved back but it was pretty unnerving and I can’t pretend this isn’t happening. We never talk at work and are never involved in any of the same projects. We just see each other in the hallway. Is this an unsolvable problem? Is it even a problem? I am married and he can see that.
A: You need to do some more reconnaissance before you take any action. I hope you have made a couple of friends at work you can you tell this to. Don’t be melodramatic, just say that this has seemed to be a really odd pattern, and ask their help. Start going out to lunch with these friends and then all of you can track if this guy shows up. If not, go back to eating solo and see what happens. Usually, if someone at work is doing something that is making you uncomfortable, it’s best to deal directly with that person. But this is so odd and undefinable, that I don’t see how you say, “You seem to be stalking me at lunch. Am I mistaken?” After all, he can totally deny it, and you really can’t say he’s not allowed to eat at the same plazas you are. If you discover that indeed there is a pattern, this is the kind of thing that you can take to HR. Say you want to speak confidentially about this, you aren’t sure what to do, and you need to get this on the record and get some professional advice.

Story highlights "This is a dangerous individual. We need him off the streets," Hawaii Gov. David Y. Ige says
Randall Saito was committed in 1981 after acquittal by reason of insanity in a woman's killing
(CNN) Hawaii Gov. David Y. Ige blasted the state's mental hospital officials for the escape of a man acquitted of murder by reason of insanity and for their failure to notify law enforcement for 10 hours.
At least seven Hawaii State Hospital employees were suspended without pay for the next 30 days and more might be placed off-duty as an internal investigation continues. No one can visit patients and no patient can leave the property, Ige said. Security fencing is being added. Also, there are unannounced searches underway of the 400 patients who live in the facility.
"This never should have happened," Ige said at a news conference on Wednesday. "This incident was a result of a major breakdown," in hospital security procedures. All hospital protocols and procedures are being scrutinized, he said.
Randall Saito, 59, was found not guilty of murder by reason of insanity in 1981 and was committed to the Hawaii State Hospital on the island of Oahu. After 38 years there, he left, went to a park, took a taxi to the Honolulu airport, chartered a flight to Maui and then hopped a plane to San Jose, California, Honolulu police said.
San Joaquin County Sheriff's Deputies arrested Randall Saito on Wednesday.
Acting on a tip from a cab driver, San Joaquin County Sheriff's Deputies arrested Saito on Wednesday morning in Stockton, California.

Portland police should compel officers who use deadly force to speak to internal affairs investigators within 48 hours and not wait for approval from the district attorney, the City Council decided in an unanimous vote Wednesday.
But the council will spend another week working on the precise language for a revised police directive to reflect the decision. The proposed policy will come back before the mayor and city commissioners for a separate vote later this month or in early September.
Mayor Ted Wheeler, crediting community input and legal advice from many attorneys, backed away from his initial plan.
It would have granted authority to the Multnomah County district attorney to dictate when police internal affairs investigators could interview officers involved in fatal shootings. But at the same time, the city would have sought a court ruling on the legality of internal affairs forcing statements from officers as quickly as possible.
District Attorney Rod Underhill had advised police in March to hold off on internal affairs interviews until completion of criminal investigations in deadly force cases. He was concerned that compelled statements could violate an officer's due process rights and make an officer immune from prosecution. That led the Police Bureau to wait six weeks after one shooting this year to have an officer give an interview to internal affairs investigators for a standard administrative review.
Underhill's memo followed the hard-fought and successful elimination last year of the controversial "48-hour rule" in the police contract that allowed the officers to wait at least two days before making a statement to internal affairs.
"I believe the principle of eliminating the 48-hour rule ... is worth the risk, and that we stand on strong legal ground,'' Wheeler said Wednesday.
Wheeler and Commissioner Nick Fish worked on the substitute proposal in the last week.
"Our goal is to go back and affirm a national best practice and assure these interviews occur in a timely manner,'' Fish said. "We are not picking a fight with the DA. Reasonable people can disagree.''
In reversing course, Wheeler said he now doesn't want to wait until a court ruling. But he said he's still is interested in somehow obtaining judicial review on the policy.
"I believe absolutely we would seek that judicial clarity,'' he said.
In the meantime, the council directed the city attorney to work with lawyers from the U.S. Department of Justice to draft a new police directive on "post deadly-force procedures.''
It should direct the Police Bureau to maintain a strict wall between simultaneous police criminal investigations of deadly force and the internal affairs investigations and require that officers promptly give statements to internal affairs within 48 hours absent extenuating circumstances. It also should give authority to the police commissioner and police chief to defer the internal affairs interview if warranted.
Representatives from the National Lawyers Guild, Portland Copwatch and the Albina Ministerial Alliance's Coalition for Justice and Police Reform commended the mayor and council for listening to community concerns aired at a hearing last week.
They then urged the council to continue to seek a court ruling validating a timely internal affairs interview after a deadly shooting or death in custody. They also urged the council to require officers to give statements to internal affairs even sooner -- by the end of their shift or within 24 hours of an encounter.
Lindsey Burrows, an attorney with the National Lawyers Guild, requested the council remove the proposed clause permitting the police commissioner and chief to make exceptions, saying it's "overbroad and vague.''
The mayor said he "won't fall on his sword'' over the clause. Wheeler said it was included because of the immunity concern.
"I would obviously use that exception extremely judiciously,'' said Wheeler, who also acts as the city's police commissioner. Yet Wheeler said he understood the community's fear that the power could be abused.
City Attorney Tracy Reeve said other police agencies that take immediate statements from officers who use deadly force, including Seattle police, have that "escape hatch'' in their policies should authorities get an "initial gut check'' that a particular shooting is likely a "bad shooting.''
Since 2010, Portland has had 32 officer-involved shootings. Twenty were fatal. One officer, Dane Reister, was indicted on criminal charges during that time after firing a bean-bag shotgun mistakenly loaded with live rounds and seriously wounding a man. Reister had pleaded not guilty to assault charges in the case and was challenging a negligent wounding charge when he killed himself in 2015.
A rewritten police directive is expected to return to council by Aug. 24 for review. Until then, police internal affairs will be directed to interview officers who use deadly force as soon as practical within 48 hours of the encounter.
In the next week, the council and city attorney's office will consider adding back language that would give the city attorney the right to seek a court review of the policy, consider placing restrictions on when a chief and police commissioner could grant an exception and discuss if compelled statements should occur more quickly than 48 hours, Fish said.
"It needed a little more polishing,'' Fish said. " We want to get it right.''
The mayor's proposal to create a new Portland Commission on Community-Engaged Policing has been tabled for two more weeks so it can be reworked to consider changes urged by the public.
Community members also complained last week that the new group would meet behind closed doors twice a month and wouldn't have any oversight of federally mandated police reforms stemming from a settlement agreement the city reached with the U.S. Department of Justice over using force against people with mental illness.
"I believe it can be significantly improved,'' Wheeler. "I want you to know that I heard you.''

I am primarily interested in the female nude and landscape. The landscape does not serve as a documentation of human rawness towards nature, but rather for visual enjoyment - as a positive creative design. Likewise, beauty is in the foreground in the nude and not the exploration of the limits of what is morally and aesthetically permissible. I am particularly excited to combine a wide variety of techniques, materials and styles. I look forward to your contact. Imprint | Privacy Policy © 2022 Benjamin Klemencic | negative |
Throughout the debate over ACTA transparency, many countries have taken public positions that they support release of the actual text, but that other countries do not. Since full transparency requires consensus of all the ACTA partners, the text simply can't be released until everyone is in agreement. Of course, those same countries hasten to add that they can't name who opposes ACTA transparency, since that too is secret.
No longer. In an important new leak from the Netherlands (Dutch, Google English translation, better English translation), a Dutch memorandum reporting back on the Mexico ACTA negotiation round names names, pointing specifically to which countries support releasing the text and which do not (note that the memo does not canvass everyone – Canada, Australia, and New Zealand are known to support transparency but are not named in the memo). According to the Dutch memo, the UK has played a lead role in making the case for full disclosure of the documents and is of the view that there is consensus for release of the text (there is support from many countries including the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Ireland, Hungary, Poland, Estonia, and Austria). However, the memo indicates that several countries are not fully supportive including Belgium, Portugal, Germany, and Denmark. Of these four countries, the Dutch believe that Denmark is the most inflexible on the issue.
Outside of the Europe, the memo identifies three problem countries. While Japan is apparently supportive, both South Korea and Singapore oppose ACTA transparency. Moreover, the U.S. has remained silent on the issue, as it remains unconvinced of the need for full disclosure. In doing so, it would appear that the U.S. is perhaps the biggest problem since a clear position of support might be enough to persuade the remaining outliers.
The memo also provides additional new information on the substance of the Mexico meeting. It confirms that countries are still not willing to make significant concessions. The countries are closing in on agreement on the border measures chapter, but are finding disagreements on civil enforcement due to differing legal systems. There is still no agreement on transit shipments or exports, nor on the scope of the treaty (EU continuing to push for broader coverage).
This is an important leak, since it provides at least one perspective on who remains a barrier to ACTA transparency. Those in the U.S., South Korea, Singapore, Belgium, Portugal, Germany, and Denmark should be demanding answers from their leaders. | positive |
"It is true that the Democratic Party should have put more resources into that election," Sanders said of the Thompson campaign. | AP Photo Sanders: Democrats should have put more into Kansas special
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders said Sunday that Democrats should have done more to help a special election candidate in last week's surprisingly close Kansas race.
Democrat James Thompson, a veteran and civil rights attorney who Sanders endorsed, lost by just 6 percentage points to Republican Kansas Treasurer Ron Estes in the heavily Republican 4th District. Progressives have criticized the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and national strategists for not doing more to help Thompson win.
Story Continued Below
"It is true that the Democratic Party should have put more resources into that election," Sanders said on CNN's "State of the Union" of the Thompson campaign. "But it is also true that he ran 20 points better than the Democratic candidate for president did in Kansas."
Sanders is about to embark on a nine-state tour with new Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez, focusing on red states.
"So many of our people are giving up on the political process. It is very frightening. In the last presidential election, when Trump won, we had the lowest voter turnout over — in 20 years. And in the previous two years before that, in the midterm election, we had the lowest voter turnout in 70 years," Sanders said. "We're going to be fighting to see that the Democratic Party becomes a 50-state party. You can't just be a West Coast party and an East Coast party."

Sanders said he thinks Democratic energy will serve the party well in a special election on Tuesday in Georgia, where Jon Ossoff has been polling well, and in a forthcoming special election in Montana.
"So, what you're seeing in Kansas, what you're seeing in Georgia, I believe you're going to see it in Montana, I believe you're going to see it all over this country, is the many so-called red states, working people, are going to wake up and say, 'Wait a second,'" Sanders said. "'Republicans want to cut Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and education, and they want to give hundreds of billions of dollars in tax breaks to the top 1 percent. No, that's not what we elected Trump to do.'"
Estes and Thompson were running to replace Mike Pompeo, who resigned to become director of the CIA. Pompeo had won reelection in November by almost 32 percentage points. | positive |
Analyzing Google’s Plan to Rescue the Newspaper Industry
I almost feel bad for subscription news companies (formally known as newspapers).
Talk about death by a thousand cuts…
According to The Atlantic, “Between 2000 and 2015, print newspaper advertising revenue fell from about $60 billion to about $20 billion, wiping out the gains of the previous 50 years.”
But the revenue destruction is only half the story…
The demise of print media has also served to erode society.
America’s skilled workforce of journalists has been replaced by Twitter/Facebook troglodytes. And somewhere within that perverse transition, we lost sight of the truth.
Will we ever find truth again?
Let’s start with a half-truth…
Google suddenly seems keen on saving the beleaguered newspaper industry.
Weird, right? Google says that it’s reversing a decade-old policy that forces publishers to offer free web content in order to get primo search-engine listings.
But before you start nibbling on shares of The New York Times Cos. (NYSE: NYT) or Time Inc. (NYSE: TIME)…
Let’s unpack the timing of Google’s odd decision and then I’ll determine whether or not it’s worthy of an investment.
The Fake News Dilemma
With great power comes great responsibility.
And Google, as the world’s undisputed leader in web search, wields quite a bit of power.
As Louis notes above, Google has forced publishers of news content to offer readers several free articles to be included in its popular Search or News apps — even if they have a paywall.
This policy made a wealth of free information available to the world, and generated a flood of traffic for Google.
But it also led to the demise of hundreds — if not thousands — of reputable news organizations who bore the expense of producing Google’s subsidized “free news.”
So why after all these years would it reverse the policy?
The answer is simple… fake news.
Investigations launched in the wake of the 2016 U.S. presidential election found scores of false news stories made their way to the top of Google search results.
As you may know, Google uses a powerful, hands-off algorithm to pick precisely which websites match a search query.
And with enough firepower, an entity can easily prop up free, fake news stories before they’re flagged.
It’s impossible to know for sure, but investigators believe that fake news could have had a material impact on the election’s result.
Google, under fire from both sides of the aisle in Washington, decided to take action to stomp out fake news by reversing its FCF policy.
The decision will undoubtedly boost the shares of premium publishers like The New York Times in the short term.
But the damage of FCF to paid journalism has already been done…
Publishers still rely on web traffic from places like Google and Facebook.
And if overall search volume goes down as free articles disappear, many publishers won’t win the long game.
The Future of “News”
The relationship between Google and the newspapers had been a symbiotic one. Google lured readers into a few articles a month from each newspaper, thereby encouraging them to buy subscriptions.
Now the freebies that encourage readers both to use Google and to read the newspapers are disappearing.
So who wins?
It isn’t necessarily Google. Many people have a need to get the news — and analysis of the news — in as reliable and thoughtful a manner as possible.
For them, genuine journalism is essential.
For others, news is merely another form of entertainment — from celebrity snippets, sports, crime news, etc.
For the second contingent, the content they desire doesn’t require genuine journalism.
That means the market will be segregated…
At the top end, newspapers employing their own journalists will continue, although the web will become their principal delivery mechanism. Advertisers will continue to want to reach this market — and will pay to do so — while its consumers will pay for subscriptions in moderation for the content they want and need.
At the low end, content providers will continue to be synergistic with Google, splitting the advertising revenues that result.
While that doesn’t make Google supreme, it does mean that it will be a conduit for all types of news going forward — similar to the cable TV companies in the 1980s.
Google’s Next Revenue Stream
Much like we discussed yesterday in relation to the demise of broadcast television at the hands of streaming video, all that matters for us as investors here is growth.
While The New York Times and other legacy print publications are making impressive strides to convert to all-digital models, they’re burdened with too many costs. Any impressive digital growth is going to be weighed down by the vestiges of the old model.
That means we should be on the hunt for up-and-coming, all-digital news outlets.
With high-quality work and enough traction, their growth promises to be unbounded. The only problem? Most of these newcomers are still privately held, so we can’t invest in them directly.
That leaves us with Google.
As Google’s vice president of news rightly pointed out to the Financial Times, “Advertising alone can no longer pay for high-quality journalism.”
The only hope is a combination of advertising and subscription revenue, with the latter playing an increasingly critical role.
And as Martin articulated, Google isn’t just an advertising juggernaut. It’s also an increasingly vital conduit, which opens up a new growth opportunity — bundling subscriptions to multiple news outlets and taking a cut of the action.
After all, it’s a hassle to remember a half dozen or so log-ins and enter them every time you find a relevant article in a Google search. By eliminating this hassle, Google could deliver a valuable benefit to users and create a new revenue stream in the process.
It’s a win-win!
The latest data indicate that the time is ripe to consider such an offering, too. In the last year, consumers’ willingness to pay for online news increased notably across every age group:
In other words, consumers are quickly waking up to the reality that you get what you pay for, even when it comes to news.
Bottom line: As Jonathan concluded before, “Publishers won’t win the long game” in the new digital paradigm. So we need to go where there’s unlimited growth potential, and that means betting on the advertisers and traffic generators instead.
Ahead of the tape,

TACOMA, Wash. -- Two burglars had a lot of balls on them -- literally they had half-a-dozen stolen bowling balls on them -- when they loudly tried to break into a pilfered safe in the middle of a church parking lot, according to charges filed Tuesday in Pierce County Superior Court.
According to the charging documents, Pierce County Sheriff's Office deputies were called to a church parking lot outside Spanaway around 2:30 a.m. June 14 for reports of two men hitting a safe against the ground.
One of the men, Jeffery Smith, told deputies the safe belonged to him but he had forgotten the combination. He said he took it to the church parking lot to open it without waking up his family.
According to the charging documents, deputies noticed six bowling balls with the price tags still on them in the back of the men's car. Smith told deputies he likes to bowl and the balls belonged to him.
Later, Paradise Bowl in Tacoma reported being burglarized sometime between midnight and 8:30 a.m. According to the charging documents, someone had taken $1,000 worth of bowling balls and a safe containing $4,000.
There were no signs of forced entry into the locked room where the safe had been kept, and the owner of the bowling alley suspected Smith, who she had fired a few days earlier.
Deputies contacted Smith, who changed his earlier story, saying he and the other man found the safe along the road, according to the charging documents. He said they put it back where they found it after speaking with deputies.
Upon being told the bowling alley had surveillance video, Smith reportedly change his story again, admitting to the burglary.
According to the charging documents, Smith said he and the other man ditched the safe and bowling balls along the side of the road after being contacted by deputies in the parking lot.
The stolen items were unable to be found, and Smith has been charged with burglary and theft.

Three cyclists caught on Evans Pass in Lyttelton during the earthquake yesterday dodged boulders the size of busses as they ran for their lives.
Three cyclists caught on Evans Pass in Lyttelton during the earthquake yesterday dodged boulders the size of busses as they ran for their lives, and a jogger may have been killed.
Dave Curtis, along with Andre Chappell and another friend, were ''terrified'' as rocks ranging from the size of busses to ovens crashed down around them.
They said they suspected a jogger, who had been running close by, may have been killed by falling boulders.
ANDRE CHAPPELL Boulders the size of busses nearly struck three cyclists on Evans Pass road.
Curtis said the group heard ''a sound like a sonic boom reverberating off the crater above'' before they were blown three metres towards the edge of the cliff.
"It was terrifying'' Curtis said.
''They were the size of cars and busses and we could see them coming, Andre dove over the wire fence and I dodged them on the road.
ANDRE CHAPPELL Three cyclists caught on Evans Pass in Lyttelton during the earthquake yesterday dodged boulders the size of busses as they ran for their lives
''Another fifty yards [45m] further on and we couldn't have survived.''
The cyclists had been training for the National Triathalon Championships, to be held in Wellington in March and said they, and the jogger, were the only people on Evans Pass at the time of the eartquake.
Chappell said the group made their way towards the city following the initial quake, and made it as far as an abandoned petrol tanker before the first aftershock struck, which threw them into the path of boulders careering down the cliff face above them.
''We had to push ourselves against the side of the cliff and they [boulders] were just falling over our heads,'' Chappell said.
"When it was finished we ran and jumped round the boulders and got back to Sumner.''
Curtis said the petrol tanker, which had been abandoned, was blocked by a large boulder at its rear, and the road ahead, towards the city centre, was impassable unless on foot.
''We really dodged a bullet,'' he said.
The group said they had not decided if they would still compete in the triathalon. | positive |

He's taking it to audiences in boardrooms, classrooms and beyond. Written by Micaela Fox Corn Photography by Pitt Visual Services Share 20200217_ta_3454_Timothy Grebeck_0055cover.jpg As Timothy Grebeck saw it, there were only three ways to respond to the bullying he faced as a kid with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). He could turn into himself, attempting to disappear. He could lash out, becoming as bitter as his tormentors. Or, he could stand up and speak out. “I chose door three,” he says. He believed that people would be more accepting if they knew more about autism. So, at 12 years old, Grebeck (EDUC ’19) began to give presentations about life with ASD to students around his Western Pennsylvania school district. Now a Pitt graduate student studying childhood elementary and special education, his advocacy work has only grown. Through his organization, Talking4Autism, he’s shared his message of understanding with students, educators, CEOs—and even the Pitt Police. Why is it important to hear about ASD from people who are on the autism spectrum, themselves? Autism is probably one of the most misunderstood disabilities out there, even among those who are regarded as experts. It manifests itself differently in each person. To hear my experiences as someone with an ASD, you get an understanding of the human side of it. I’m not a textbook you read, I’m a human being. It’s much more impactful to hear from the source. Who gave you your start as a speaker? I have to give a lot of the credit to the guy that rolled the dice with that first speech and let me come in and talk to his class. I had no idea who he was, he had no idea who I was. He taught [high school] juniors and seniors, and here I am as a seventh grader, sending an email inviting myself to speak. Luckily, he’s the kind of guy that was willing to take a risk. He gave me my voice. I still go back in his classes to this day and talk. Rick Bell. He’s actually a Pitt alum from the School of Education. What motivates you? Seeing people learning. It’s that moment you can see on a student’s face, “Okay, I understand it now. I get something that I wasn’t able to get before.” And now I can do that as a teacher in front of the classroom, and I can do it by talking to completely diverse groups of people about something that I personally experienced. How has your approach to teaching been shaped by your experiences? My teaching style has been shaped by times when I felt like I was truly accepted by people. My goal as a teacher is to accept each and every one of my students for who they are. I will make sure that my classroom can be a safe space where students can be who they are without fear of being judged or stereotyped. I got into teaching because I want to make a difference. My life leading up to this point molds the difference I am trying to make.

An IPv4 IP address is an address used in order to uniquely identify a device on an IP network. The address is made up of 32 binary bits, which can be divisible into a network portion and host portion with the help of a subnet mask. The 32 binary bits are broken into four octets (1 octet = 8 bits). Each octet is converted to decimal and separated by a period (dot). How to Subnet IPv4? Its simple answer is that subnetting is the process of taking a network and splitting it into smaller networks, known as subnets. It's used to free up more public IPv4 addresses and segment networks for security and easier management. Following are the ranges of IPv4 subnet/network address and their host addresses.

For all the hype it has gotten and all the users it has gained, it’s easy to forget that Google+ has only been out for a month and a half. But they’re moving fast to ensure they don’t flop again in the social space. And today brings the biggest “next step” yet: Games.
Gaming has obviously been a huge part of the success of Facebook over the years. It has been so popular, in fact, that one company, Zynga, has become a major player in the gaming space, and will soon go public as a result. And guess who is on board with Google+ Games too? Yep. Zynga .
Before you get too excited, no, Google+ won’t have FarmVille or CityVille (those may be exclusive to Facebook via deal the two forged), but they will have Zynga Poker. And you can be sure other titles are coming. You may recall that Google made an investment in Zynga a while back. This was something which we reported but both sides danced around confirming for months. Of course, Zynga’s S-1 doesn’t lie. And this launch is exactly why such an investment makes sense.
But Zynga isn’t the only player bringing games to Google+. In fact, they may not even be the most hyped. Google+ also gains Angry Birds on day one of gaming. Other popular games like Bejeweled Blitz are here as well.
Here’s what Google has to say:
Today we’re adding games to Google+. With the Google+ project, we want to bring the nuance and richness of real-life sharing to the web. But sharing is about more than just conversations. The experiences we have together are just as important to our relationships. We want to make playing games online just as fun, and just as meaningful, as playing in real life.
And here’s how it will work within Google+:
When you’re ready to play, the Games page is waiting—click the games button at the top of your stream. You can see the latest game updates from your circles, browse the invites you’ve received and check out games that people you know have played recently. The Games page is also where your game accomplishments will appear. So you can comfortably share your latest high score—your circles will only see the updates when they’re interested in playing games too.
Most importantly, says Google:
If you’re not interested in games, it’s easy to ignore them. Your stream will remain focused on conversations with the people you care about.
Google is also asking developers interesting in making games for the platform to check out their new Google+ Developer Blog.
Google says the Games roll-out on G+ will be gradual. It starts today for some users. | positive |

The Enfield Haunting is an upcoming television mini-series from the British network, Sky Living. The show is set to focus on the paranormal haunting of the same name and will follow the true to life account of the story, with Matthew Macfadyen, Timothy Spall, and Juliet Stevenson staring. According to the true tale of the Enfield Poltergeist, Peggy Hodgson reported to police that two of her children were reporting strange activity occurring at the family’s home. The kids claimed an unknown and unseen force was moving around, furniture. They also reported hearing knocking sounds, within the walls!
It was reported that the sequel to The Conjuring would focus on the haunting and is expected to be released in October of 2016, although the release date has already been changed several times. However, it is likely the television mini-series, The Enfield Haunting, will be much more effective in telling the story, especially with Kristoffer Nyholm, who is responsible for the Danish version of The Killing, set to direct.
The Enfield Haunting TV series is set to air in spring of 2015 and will explore the events draw inspiration from witness statements and recordings from the real life haunting. While the story itself is enough to draw one in, it is the cast that is even more exhilarating. Matthew Macfadyen is set to play Guy Lyon Playfair, who is somewhat of a skeptical investigator. Fresh off of the third season of Ripper Street, Macfadyen looks to capture the imaginations of viewers once again.
He will be joined, by veteran Timothy Leonard Spall, who is famous for his roles in Pierrepoint, The King’s Speech, and more recently the biographical movie, Mr. Turner, which explores the life of famous painter J M W Turner. Spall will play a newbie paranormal investigator, who is likely in over his head.
The male leads will have an equally impressive female counterpart in Juliet Stevenson, who is a three time BAFTA Aware nominee. She was exceptional alongside Peter Capaldi in the British television drama, Accused, in 2010. Stevenson will be playing the wife of Mr. Grosse, Betty.
The outstanding British cast is set to recreate the events surrounding the bizarre paranormal activity, which took place in 1977. From the images, we can see that the scene perfectly replicates that time period. Sadly, not much else has been released about the show. With this type of cast, the stylish time period and the bizarrely interesting story, I expect an interesting adaptation, which no British television fanatic should pass up!
What do you think? Will you be watching The Enfield Haunting? The book, which was written by Guy Lyon Playfair, based on the story can be found below. | positive |

Brown 3 months ago [ad_1] Let’s be genuine: when it will come to innovation, everyone can find out a issue or two from us. No matter if it’s the present TikTok dancing trend or digital trend reveals that completely completely transform the way trend is offered (hey, Hanifa!), Black creatives are the pioneers and craze-setters who carry artwork to the globe. With this know-how, it is essential to acknowledge that other individuals will copy our work—sometimes with out our authorization. Addison Rae, a TikTok star with in excess of 87 million followers, confronted backlash right after showing up onThe Tonight Display with Jimmy Fallon and demonstrating all of the most recent TikTok dances with out crediting the creators. Post carries on immediately after online video. In June 2021, in reaction to Addison Rae’s physical appearance, Black TikTok creators went on strike, refusing to produce any more choreography until finally they had been properly credited for their ingenuity and acknowledgment that the platform depends on their creation. Whilst this is not the initial (or even the last) time that Black natural beauty and style creators have been denied credit history for their function, it is important to keep in mind that you have rights and the capability to safeguard your do the job. “Most frequently, the difficulty with social media written content creators is that the writer isn’t specified good attribution, which detracts from their visibility as the creator,” claims Lisa Bonner, Esq., veteran leisure and mental residence legal professional and creator of The LegaliTEAS of Entrepreneurship: The Relentless Pursuit of Excellence and Stability in Setting up Your Individual Organization. “Creatives generally miss out on ancillary possibilities that arrive from creating these a viral feeling.” Bonner continues, “In the situations of these viral dance crazes or make-up tutorials, people video clips had been appropriated by a white articles creator who is then provided de facto credit score as the originator. Then the infringer reveals up on a Tv exhibit, and they land a large marketing campaign due to the fact of the visibility that comes from that prospect that they co-opted from the creator.” Depending on the variety of do the job you carry out as a trend or elegance artistic, Bonner advises that you make absolutely sure you have an proper settlement in put that spells out who owns what. “Be sure to request federal trademark or copyright security (if relevant) and and finally, involve some visibly pinpointing component so that even if the material is reposted or shared, they can trace it again to you.” Bonner also implies which includes a watermark on the movie or employing a music that you have registered with the copyright office. If you’re a new magnificence and fashion articles creator or preparing to commence your own weblog or videos, understanding the variations involving a copyright and a trademark is vital. Bonner served us get started by simplifying the legalese. According to the Globe Mental Property Group (“WIPO”), intellectual residence (“IP”) is categorised into 6 groups that include patents, trade secrets, industrial types, and geographical indications. Having said that, we are concentrating on the following: Logos secure words and phrases, symbols, phrases, slogans, and logos. You seek out federal registration and defense for trademarks and patents from the United States Patent and Trademark Place of work (“USPTO”). Copyrights safeguard works of authorship, this kind of as seem recordings, scripts, treatments, images, animated pictures, maps, and the like. For this, you seek federal registration by the United States Copyright Business. “Your safety is primarily based on what classification your IP falls underneath,” suggests Bonner. “Federal registration in each scenarios means you have broader geographical and enforcement rights for your IP and enables for statutory damages in the case of infringement of your intellectual home.” Copyright grants the owner unique use and defense of what you’ve registered with the copyright business office as a inventive. You get typical-regulation copyright once an plan is transformed into a “tangible way of expression.” “For illustration, if you make a online video, or write articles on paper or serviette, or acquire a photograph, you have common-law copyright,” claims Bonner. “Again, in search of federal copyright registration affords you greater defense in the enforcement of your get the job done and the damages affiliated with misappropriation.” Ideally, you want to copyright pictures that you are putting out for public usage or sale. “You may well post visuals separately, but if you are publishing various performs, these as a manner or natural beauty coffee desk e-book of pics you took (a “collection of works” to use copyright office verbiage), you might sign up them all at as soon as,” suggests Bonner, “providing you are the writer of all of the operates, and additional, delivering stated performs were posted collectively at the same time.” It is not vital to seek the services of a law firm to protected a copyright. Even so, the authorized advisor strongly suggests making use of an attorney while trying to sign up a trademark. “The Trademark Office environment is pretty individual when it comes to the specimens that you have to have to post for evidence of use, which is expected for registration,” Bonner points out. “And the phraseology connected with the application is akin to an artwork sort, and if not penned the right way, your software will be turned down. It is really complicated and high priced to check out to appropriate a botched trademark software, and as a trademark is a race to first use, you may not get a 2nd bite at the apple.” So, what can you do if you see someone copying your operate? Bonner recommends notifying the proprietor of the web page. “All the bonafide social media web sites such as Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and so forth. make it uncomplicated to report a likely infringement on their web-site with the click on of a button and a description of the alleged infringement,” she informs us. “Each has many checks and balances, but if the function is yours, then you should really report it. These web sites choose this very seriously and will make contact with the alleged infringer and quite possibly remove their written content when this is staying sorted out.” It’s important to be aware that if the infringement is transpiring in a more substantial context and is costing you cash or alternatives, you must seek the advice of an lawyer who can enable you file a stop and desist letter and go over your options for working with the infringement additional carefully. Keep in mind, when you create your video clips, choose photographs or write content, be positive that you recognize how to protect your perform. “I start my guide with a estimate by Albert Einstein that states, ‘You have to study the regulations of the recreation. And then you have to participate in better than any individual else,’ Bonner shares. Touché!

Getty Images Chip Gaines Slams Report Claiming He and Wife Joanna Gaines Don’t Put Their Family First Misc May 13, 2018 10:00 am· By Alex Riccardi Top stories Take a Tour of Jenna Bush Hager's Extravagant Long Island Home Where Is Bob Barker Now? Update on 'The Price Is Right' Host’s Life Beach Squad Goals! See the ‘Friends’ Cast’s Best Bikini Photos Soap Opera Stars Are So Fashionable! See Their Sexy Bikini Photos Take a Tour of Carrie Underwood's Nashville Home With Husband Mike Fisher Don't mess with Chip Gaines and Joanna Gaines! The Fixer Upper family was recently attacked after USA Today wrote a scathing story about the couple saying they seemingly neglect their four, soon to be five, kids contrary to their claims they spend a lot of time with them. "[They] did not get where they are by putting their family first," the publication explained. Unsurprisingly, the story didn't go over too well with Chip. A source told Life & Style that the editorial "hit a nerve" with the patriarch of the crew. "Chip was hurt, but he was more pissed than anything," the source said. "The first rule in Chip's world is don't mess with his family, and that's exactly what that writer did." View this post on Instagram We take #Demoday seriously in this family. I love my crew! #FixerUpper Photo: @matsumoto818 A post shared by Chip Gaines (@chipgaines) on Apr 3, 2018 at 4:22pm PDT It's not like the family isn't used to criticism — after all, they were the stars of a hit reality television show. But this attack on Chip's parenting seemed to really cross the line. "You can criticize Chip as a builder — that's fair game — but his family is off-limits," the source said. "He spent hours ranting to Joanna about it." Chip didn't keep his thoughts about the story private, either. He took to Twitter to clap back at the USA Today writer. "I dont know [Daryl Austin], [and] he clearly doesn't know me. But for the record: If there is ever a need [with] my family [first], I'll shut this circus down so fast it will make your head spin," he tweeted. "BUT [Joanna] & I believe [with] God anything is possible, including having an amazing family AND [a] career you love." The couple backed this notion when they revealed why they had decided to put an end to Fixer Upper months ago. "We need to catch our breath for a moment," their statement read. "And give lots of love and attention to both our family and our businesses." View this post on Instagram I like this guy ❤️ A post shared by Joanna Stevens Gaines (@joannagaines) on Oct 29, 2017 at 2:03pm PDT An insider told Life & Style they weren't lying. "They still read to their kids at night and spend quality time with each one of them," the source explained. "They're both amazing parents who would move heaven and earth for their kids. They'll always put their kids before anything else, including fame and work." Despite the hate, Chip and Joanna are ready to dispel any rumors about them. "They have nothing to hide," the source told Life & Style. "So if you attack the Gaineses, you better be prepared, because you will be attacked back."

February 28, 2017 February 28, 2017 I. Ogunbase The beauty of the shiny green pastures wheeze past me gracefully, as they remain static in their growth, dancing only to the soft wind that blew across the quiet land. Back when it was just me, enduring the quiet rides by the windowsill of the Virgin train that ran all the way back to the place I’m duty bound to call Home. The carriage maintains a just above average hum, of the occupants discussing the day’s events, retelling stories of past memories, making plans for the weekend in London and the likes. It’s at times like this, where I look towards the horizon and watch the night sky slowly take over the activities it’s day sister has relegated to him. The purple haze at the horizon point, slowly painting the sky into an artistic blue, before place the yellow dotted wonders that make up the starry sky. Sometimes, if I focus enough, I remember the days when I’d sleep outside with my family, back in Nigeria, on the cars of the house, due to the absence of light. And we’d indulge in our dreams of the future but most importantly, the quiet companionship under the starry sky. Reality however, has a odd way of taking things off you when you believe it is all you could ever want. But Life, as it turns out, would make it clear you don’t need. The train used to be just me. Then I introduced myself to you, in the blue dress as you sat quietly in the corner, watching the minutes pass by on our mutual’s graduation celebration. I hadn’t thought that far ahead when we exchanged names, and I pestered for your number. Here you are… next to me, and as we spend the journey watching a movie as the train makes its way back down to the place we call Home. Your focus is on the scenes taking place on the small screen of my tablet surface, while my mind’s focus is on you. You. In my serenity, causing me no comfort. I can’t look out the windowsill anymore, to the beauty of nature that the Creator blessed the Earth with, because you now stand in the way, and any attempt of mine to look past you ends, with me just looking at you. But. I think He gave me a better view of the beauty I’d like to keep on seeing for as long as He’d let me see… You. Share this: Twitter Facebook Like this: Like Loading...

RUSSIAN duo t.A.T.u have made a name for themselves as a faux lesbian act. Now, one of its members has revealed herself to be a raging homophobe.
Gay Star News reports that Yulia Volkova told Russian television that she would condemn her son if he turned out to be gay because he would be less of a man.
“Yes, I would condemn him, because I believe that a real man must be a real man. God created man for procreation, it is the nature. The man for me is the support, the strength of ... I won’t accept a gay son,” she said.
Volkova said however that she wouldn’t have an issue if her daughter became a lesbian.
“Two girls together — not the same thing as the two men together. It seems to me that lesbians look aesthetically much nicer than two men holding their hands or kissing,” she said.
Volkova and Lena Katina started singing together in 1999 and developed a lesbian persona, despite both being married to men at one point.
They became the most successful Russia pop act ever, releasing songs like Not Gonna Get Us, which stormed up the charts across the world.
Volkova told Russian TV that she wanted to make clear she is “not against gays” and that she considers them to be above murderers and thieves — but only just.
“Just want my son to be a real man, not a fag,” she said. “I have many gay friends. I believe that being gay is all still better than murderers, thieves or drug addicts. If you choose out of all this, being gay a little better than the rest.”
After heated backlash to Volkova’s comments, Katina took to social media to distance herself from her former bandmate’s views.
“I am seeing some comments lately regarding my position about LGBT and my religion,” she wrote on Facebook overnight. “I can say one thing: God is teaching us to live in love, to be tolerant and not to judge other people! And I do so!
“Love is love and it is a wonderful feeling! I think everybody should be free to love who they love and be with who they want to spend their life with!” | positive |
From August 1, consumers will have to pay more for petrol and diesel. The oil marketing companies have increased the dealer commission, which is a part of price that consumers pay, reported Financial Express.
The daily rates — that is in-line with international crude prices — will include increased commission of Rs 1 per litre for petrol and Rs 0.72 a litre for diesel today onwards.
Currently, the dealers gets Rs 2.55 a litre commission on petrol and Rs 1.65 a litre on diesel.
Thus, the prices are likely to increase further or decrease comparatively less even if the international crude prices falls down.
“We had requested to increase expenses earmarked under each of these components which translates to a little over Rs 1 per litre for petrol and around 72 paise for diesel,” Ajay Bansal, president of All India Petroleum Dealers Association (AIPDA) told the newspaper.
On June 16, at the time of implementation of daily fuel price revision, the dealers association had threatened to go on a strike due to thining profit margin.
The AIPDA had been asking for a hike as their profit margin was going down owing to the 42 percent increase in wage cost for dealers in the past six months, Bansal added.
Apart from the increase in wage cost, the dealers also claimed that their profit margin was affected by the daily change in prices as a fall in the crude prices subsequently leads to fall in retail prices, irrespective of the price paid by the dealer to buy that particular lot of crude.
Dealers claimed that the earlier commission on petrol and diesel of Rs 2.55 per litre and Rs 1.65 per litre respectively, was too low to cover their expenses and make profit amidst operational costs and evaporation of fuel.
“The national average sale per outlet is 170 kilolitres of fuel every month. Assuming this sale, a dealer makes only 14 paise per litre which converts to around Rs 2 | positive |
Evolution of user interfaces in Haiku and other Operating systems
This blog post talks about the changes that have been hapenning in recent versions of others Operating Systems, and wether Haiku should copy them or not.
A long time ago, in 1984, Apple designed the user interface of the Macintosh. This was not the first one, (the first was at Xerox PARC) but it was widely known and set the standard for many other OSes. Amiga Workbench and GEM borrowed the menu at the top of the screen, everyone started to use cursors and icons, and titlebar for windows with buttons to close and resize them. BeOS, of course, also got a lot of inspiration from this user interface being created partly by former Apple employees.
However, each of these systems grew up its own way, keeping many differences with the others. Amiga had a system of screens, where each application had a desktop on its own and windows inside it ; GEM kept single-task and most applications ran full screen instead of using windows, mac tried to integrate some multitasking while keeping the GUI as simple as possible.
In 1995, there was a new version of Windows, introducing a bar at the bottom of the screen, and allowing to switch between applications more easily. It also included a start button to run more apps, without having to find the “Program Manager”. Most modern Linux Desktop Environments are based on this layout (Gnome, KDE, XFCE and LXDE, at least). The deskbar in BeOS and Haiku is also somewhat similar.
In 1999, Apple released Mac OS X, featuring a big update to the previous UI : the dock. It allowed to see all the available apps, and lauch them by a single click, or raise an existing instance if there was one. Note the dock had been available for several years in NextStep.
Finally, we now have Windows 7, which borrowed the dock idea from Mac OS X, but also brought in some other changes.
Over all these years, we can see that Mac OS and Windows have changed a lot, while Haiku is still really near to the old BeOS. Should we get some of the ideas from other OSes, or is it better to keep going our own way ?
Document-Centered interfaces
An important change in the way we use computer is that there is now a lot more multitasking. In the first days of the Macintosh, it was not possible to run more than one application at a time. It is now common to have a lot more. At the beginning, people used computers a bit like typewriters : only one document at a time, and the others available on the desktop for reference. But now, most documents are inside the computer, and you often have more than a single one open at a time.
This creates a distinction between an application, a window and a document. An application may have multiple windows open at a time, and each window can show one or more documents. For example, in a word processor, it is common to have one separate window for each document, while in a web browser, it’s more common to use tabs inside the window.
To the user, it makes more sense to have a document-centered interface, where a window is bound to a document. However, this can quickly get messy on the desktop if one opens a lot of web pages. Fortunately, we already have a solution for that, one that most other operating system are missing : it’s Stack and Tile. Stack and Tile will allow to stack a lot of windows to make them part of the same frame, and act like tabs. This allows each window to still be a document, while having the tabbing to keep them in a manageable order.
The other part of this is the adoption of the dock system. The dock is a fusion of the deskbar with launchbox. It hides the difference between a running application and a not running one. This distinction is not really important anymore, and it will disappear in the future. Applications are launching really fast in Haiku, so it doesn’t matter if you have to load the app from disk or just raise a window. Moreover, we’re going to a system where apps are always running. PalmOS has been doing it for years, when you quit an app, it’s just snapshotted to disk, and you can reload it later to find it exactly like you exited it, even if you rebooted the computer in between. Speaking of rebooting, this also means that shutting down your computer will be the same thing as putting it in “deep hibernation” state.
The end of the Title and Menu bars
In windows 7, Microsoft decided to rework a lot the way things are working. The most important changes, apart from the adoption of a Mac OS X similar dock, is the removal of menus and, to some extend, of title bars. The idea behind the removal of menus is to give more exposure and easy access to the features of an application. You can immediately see what you can do. It makes the app easier to use if you’re not at ease with a mouse. And it is also a lot simpler when you use a touchscreen, which is becoming more common every day. However, menus are still much more simpler to use so, I don’t think this is a feature we should keep.
The other part of this change is that it allows applications to play a little more with the title bar. For example, the Opera web browser chose to draw tabs inside the title bar itself. This somewhat reminds Stack and Tile, and gets back to the idea that a window is a document, but that windows can be sticked together.
Features that got lost over time : Amiga Screens
I find the Amiga really interesting, because they really developped their own system about the same time the Macintosh was being created at Apple. The two systems are similar, but still different. And the guys at Commodore didn’t always copy the features from Apple. One of the really interesting things in the Amiga is the screens. They are a bit like Haiku’s workspace, but pushing it further, you can grab a screen and move it to see the one behind. An application usually runs in its own screen, but it is possible to move windows from one to another. Screens have an user-defined name and it is possible to cycle through them with a small button at the top right of the screen. This button is sometimes much more practical than the workspace switcher : it takes a lot less space, and allows you to reach your target easily. As apps always open in their own workspace, it’s easier to make use of the feature : you don’t have to think about it and decide where to put the windows yourself. The ability to split the dispay and see multiple screens at a time allows you to quickly navigate from one application to another, without having to endlessly switch workspaces. It is also possible to keep a small screen always on top, with some status info, and use the rest of the display space for the app you want to see.
Overall, Haiku has the chance of being a fully integrated system, so it can move a lot faster than most others, particularly UNIXes with a lot of different graphical toolkits. So, it’s time we switch to a document-centered intreface and see where it brings us.
In the end, we’re left with two things to look at : Smalltalk and NextStep. They already did most of what I’m talking about. | positive |

It’s easy to look at Korean skin care and just think; this is so cute! The fruit! The animals!
But, the truth is we have a lot to learn from Korean beauty. In South Korea, beauty is a national pastime, skin care a daily ritual and everywhere you look there are celebrities, billboards and stores selling flawless, dewy, porcelain skin. It’s a cultural obsession.

President Donald Trump struck back at the San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz Saturday morning after her criticism of the U.S. federal government’s disaster relief response to Puerto Rico.
Trump insinuated that Democratic Party operatives told Cruz to criticize the president for not taking the appropriate tone when speaking about the recovery effort.
“We are dying, and you are killing us with the inefficiency, and the bureaucracy,” Cruz previously said of Trump’s response to the devastated island. “I am done being politically correct. I am mad as hell.”
FEMA and the U.S. military have thousands of people on Puerto Rico, which has posed a logistical challenge to federal authorities since the island was devastated by two hurricanes. Almost all of the Island’s power systems, communications infrastructure, and clean water distribution were wiped out by the two storms.
Cruz’s comments lie in stark contrast to Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rossello, who is outspoken in his praise for Trump. Rossello has consistently characterized the federal government’s response as engaged and robust, saying Friday “I have to say that the administration has responded to our petitions. FEMA, Brock Long, has been on the phone virtually all the time with me, checking out how things are going.”

At Twitchy reported earlier this month, Paul Nungesser, the man accused of rape by Emma “Mattress Girl” Sulkowicz, recently settled with Columbia University for an undisclosed amount.
Nungesser had filed suit against the university for encouraging Sulkowicz’s protest/art project, which consisted of her carrying a mattress everywhere she went, including the stage where she accepted her degree. The stunt was picked up by news outlets in 35 countries, even though a university investigation had found Nungesser not guilty.
The irony is that Sulkowicz had titled her art project “Carry that Weight,” though it’s Nungesser who has had to bear the brunt of her display, without the assistance of celebrities, facts-be-damned politicians like Sen. Karen Gillibrand, and the media. And speaking of the media:
"Restorative justice" is therapeutic intervention aimed at healing, rather than a trial to decide guilt & punishment https://t.co/LGMVemOCV2 — NPR (@NPR) July 26, 2017
This week on NPR’s “All Things Considered,” for example, Tovia Smith fleshed out a story on “restorative justice” on college campuses by contacting Sulkowicz for her opinion:
Activist and survivor Emma Sulkowicz says the approach is not appropriate for everyone. Sometimes, she says, trial and punishment are called for, as in the case of a man on her campus who was accused of several assaults. “I think this person in particular, given his track record of person after person after person … is a sadist in the truest meaning of that word,” she says. “So we just wanted him to get off campus.” Sulkowicz also worries about who will facilitate the conversations. She says campus administrators seriously botched her trial process, asking ignorant and insensitive questions. She questions how they will manage the more nuanced restorative justice approach.
So … of all people on the planet to ask about proper trial and punishment, NPR landed on an activist whose shenanigans just cost her former school a big chunk of change in a legal settlement.

Because it's npr. They pander to those most likely to grow the power of the state. In this case: victimhood enthusiasts/ women. — Kelly W (@muddafokka) July 27, 2017

Sulkowicz considers herself a survivor & we ID her as such. We've clarified that their school found the student she accused 'not responsible — tovia smith (@toviasmithnpr) July 27, 2017
Oh, please … never mind allowing people to self-identify when it comes to gender and even race — now journalists will identify you as a “survivor” of sexual assault if you consider yourself one.
To be consistent,you should ID Nungesser as survivor of false accusation.He appears to have stronger claim to victim status than Sulkowicz. — Christina Sommers (@CHSommers) July 29, 2017
NPR absolutely should do that; instead, they appended a tiny “clarification” the following day:
This story refers to Emma Sulkowicz as a survivor of sexual assault, as she considers herself to be. The accused in her case was found not responsible by a campus adjudication process.
Seeing as tax dollars help fund this, we’re going to nitpick a bit and remind NPR that a clarification is supposed to clarify something that was unclear. How does this bit of legal ass-coverage clarify anything about the case?
And so we learn that @NPR is a biased pseudo-news organization caught in the grip of postmodernism! Wait, we already knew that…. — Mike Sasso (@mfsasso) July 29, 2017
And school settled a lawsuit, paying him $$ as the victim of a relentless, very public, false accusation. Sulkowicz objectively is a liar. — Jeff Stillman (@jstillman1960) July 29, 2017
I usually loathe litigious people but the recklessness with which you promoted these false allegations deserves justice and financial comp. — The Golden Rule (@Regula_Aurea) July 29, 2017

CLOSE Michigan players Kyle Kalis, Erik Magnuson and Dymonte Thomas talk at the annual football bust on Tuesday in Livonia. Video by Mark Snyder/DFP Videolicious
U-M coach shot down rumors at football bust, said opposing coaches drumming up speculation

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh is not leaving for the Los Angeles Rams or any other job.
"I'm not leaving Michigan," Harbaugh said near the end of Tuesday's U-M football bust at Livonia's Laurel Manor. "Not even considering it. A lot of this talk is coming from our enemies, from coaches, you know the names. You probably know the names of the top three I'm referring to. They like to say that to the media. They like to tell that to the recruits, to their families, try to manipulate them into going to some other school besides Michigan.
"We know them as jive turkeys. Say it like it is. that's the way it is."
That's what he told his players in an unsolicited offering Monday.
"After practice, he said, ' I'm not leaving, I'm staying here,' " U-M safety Dymonte Thomas said . "'A lot of people say I'm going to do this, I'm going to do that. That's a lie. I haven't talked to anyone.' He said he's going to stay here for us. He joked and said, 'You're stuck with me.' Then he quoted jive turkey, something like that off a movie, Tropic Thunder, I think."
Various reports have linked Harbaugh as a candidate to replace the fired Jeff Fisher with the Rams, starting with Fox Sports Radio host Colin Cowherd saying Friday that NFL insider Albert Breer told him during a commercial break that the Harbaugh-to-the-Rams rumor was a "very real thing."
►Related: Windsor: U-M fans needn't worry about Rams taking Harbaugh
►Related: Peppers named team MVP at U-M football bust
Harbaugh bringing up the topic unsolicited didn't shock the players, because they feel he's always been honest with them and if there was any doubt, they believed he'd be just as honest with them.
"He told us that the other day, after practice," U-M right tackle Erik Magnuson said. "He said he's staying here, he's not going nowhere. He's not leaving."
That message was delivered in classic Harbaugh fashion.
“Short, sweet and to the point: I’m not leaving,” U-M nose tackle Ryan Glasgow said. “Don’t worry about it. These are lies made up by our enemies. ... It got the team all riled up. We don’t want any enemies infiltrating the fortress.”
Glasgow pointed out that he can see “it could be at the University of Michigan, 15-20 years down the line, the folklore like Bo Schembechler. I don’t see him leaving anytime soon.”
Harbaugh is obviously an attractive NFL candidate because of what he did in his four years with the San Francisco 49ers, reaching three NFC championship games and one Super Bowl.
But he was courted by NFL teams after being forced out by the 49ers at the end of the 2014 season, but only considered coming to Michigan and taking the job for less than he would have reportedly been offered by teams with NFL vacancies.
In two years at Michigan, he's proven his value, taking the Wolverines to consecutive 10-win seasons after U-M was a five-win team the season before.
Magnuson has a theory about where those rumors originate.
"Unfortunately distractions caused, some of it's by other teams," he said. "It really hurts recruiting if they're saying Jim Harbaugh's going to go to the NFL. Some recruits could think there's instability in the coaching job at Michigan, so that could hurt him. So a lot of it is created for distraction in that aspect as far as recruiting. I couldn't see him going anywhere. This is where he wants to be."
U-M offensive guard Kyle Kalis: "It's all planned."
Magnuson clarified that he doesn't think the U-M coaches do that negative recruiting and said it could happen to any program, including Ohio State when others speculate about Urban Meyer's future.
Some players were angered by the entire premise of the rumors about Harbaugh.
“I can’t even take those reports serious,” U-M tight end Jake Butt said. “There’s no factual basis. There’s no facts coming from anywhere. (Like) I’m going to create a fake Twitter account and start tweeting the most absurd stuff and people will believe it. I’ve always thought Twitter was ridiculous to get a lot of reliable news from.”
The idea that Harbaugh brought it to them may have been intended for the younger players who are returning and not the seniors, who have only a month left in the program.
“I’ve always felt Coach Harbaugh was Michigan through and through,” Butt said. “When he addressed that, he just solidified that even more.”
The appeal of the NFL in most of the rumored circles is the potential that he could be offered more money than at U-M, where he will make the nation’s largest compensation this year, $9 million.
“He’s not driven my money,” Butt said. “He gets paid because he does a really great job. But I don’t think his No. 1 goal in life is to make as much money as possible. I think he’s got a lot more bigger goals in life and that’s the kind of guy he is.”
While the younger players were reminded about stability for their future, the older players have appreciated his investment in their lives. Recently he has offered to help his seniors find an agent when they’re ready for the NFL, to help weed through multiple options.
On the outside, in the fan base particularly, the fear multiplied when the Rams fired Fisher because there was a real NFL job in a place where many coaches would be thrilled to go. Great weather, a new stadium and a hungry fan base, in a state where Harbaugh has history.
But what most are forgetting: Harbaugh is not like many coaches or many people. He has always had a different focus, shown when he came to Michigan despite the NFL offers – and speculation from NFL sources that this job would not happen.
The Wolverines said they didn’t need it but were reassured by Harbaugh's comments.
"Coach Harbaugh's going to stay here," Thomas said. "He's a Michigan man. He's turned the program around, he's done all the right things. He fits perfect in this program. I'm excited to see how he takes care of the teams the next few years."

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. President George W. Bush "has no recollection" of videotapes of CIA interrogations of some al Qaeda suspects or of plans to destroy the tapes, a White House spokeswoman said.
CIA Director Michael Hayden says congressional leaders were told about the tapes.
Bush and Vice President Cheney learned about videotaped interrogations of some al Qaeda suspects on Thursday, when CIA Director Michael Hayden briefed them about the existence of the tapes and their subsequent destruction, administration officials said Friday.
The interrogations -- using newly approved "alternative" interrogation techniques -- of two al Qaeda suspects were recorded in 2002, Hayden said Thursday in a letter to CIA employees. They were destroyed three years later when the agency determined they had no intelligence value and could pose a security risk, he said.
"I spoke to the president this morning about this," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said. "He has no recollection of being made aware of the tapes or their destruction before yesterday. He was briefed by General Hayden yesterday morning."
The vice president learned about the tapes and their destruction at the same time, another administration official told CNN.
Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Connecticut, said that was "stretching credulity."
"There's something going on here," Dodd, a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, said on CNN's "The Situation Room. "We're not getting the full story, hence the reason why there should be an investigation. It goes to the heart of our national security, our protection, our safety, our isolation in the world. That's why this is so important."
Later Friday, two senior administration officials told CNN that then-deputy White House counsel Harriet Miers was aware of the tapes and told the CIA not to destroy them.
The officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of potential investigations on the matter, said they believe this is "exculpatory" for the White House because it shows a top official had told the CIA not to destroy the tapes. The officials also said the information about the tapes was not relayed to the president until this week.
Democrats reacted strongly to the news of the existence of the tapes and their subsequent destruction, particularly given the continuing controversy over use of harsh interrogation techniques -- believed to include waterboarding, a technique that involves restraining a suspect and pouring water on him to produce the sensation of drowning -- and whether they constitute torture.
"It is a startling disclosure," Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Illinois, said Friday on the Senate floor. "The United States of America -- a nation where the rule of law is venerated -- has now been in the business of destroying evidence. Evidence of a very sensitive nature -- evidence which clearly should have been protected for legal and historic purposes."
Durbin said he was sending a letter to Attorney General Michael Mukasey calling for an investigation into whether any laws were broken by "CIA officials who covered up the existence of these videotapes."
The Justice Department later said it had received Durbin's letter, but would not comment other than to say it had begun gathering facts. Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Massachusetts, joined Durbin's call for an investigation.
Democrat disputes CIA chief's account
In his letter to CIA employees, Hayden wrote that the leaders of the CIA's congressional oversight committees were informed of the videos "years ago" along with the agency's intent to destroy them.
But Rep. Jane Harman, D-California, -- who was the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee when the tapes were made and when they were destroyed -- told CNN that was "not true."
Harman said she'd attended a classified briefing in 2003 that "raised some concerns in my mind," prompting her to send a classified letter to the CIA's general counsel.
"Obviously they both remain classified," she said, "but I have raised with the CIA my view that no videotape should be destroyed. Let me just leave it there. ...
"Segue to two years later, we have now learned that the tapes have been destroyed," she said. "I was still the ranking member of the committee, (and) no one ever informed me that tapes were being destroyed."
Former Rep. Porter Goss, R-Florida -- who was head of the CIA when the tapes were destroyed -- was told about the tapes when he served as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, a former intelligence official told CNN. The official said that Goss agreed with Harman that the tapes should not be destroyed and, when he became director of the agency in 2004, he let "the appropriate people" know his opinion.
The official said Goss was unhappy when he learned after the fact that the tapes were destroyed. Goss resigned in May 2006; Hayden was his successor.
Rep. Pete Hoekstra of Michigan, currently the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, was chairman of the committee after Goss joined the CIA until the Democrats won control of the House last year, covering the time when the tapes were destroyed. He told CNN he was never briefed about the tapes' existence or their destruction.
Other senators and representatives added their voices to the calls for investigations, including House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, D-Michigan; Sen. Carl Levin, D-Michigan; and presidential candidate Sen. Joe Biden, D-Delaware. And Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said that panel "will be doing their own investigation."
Daniel Marcus, who was general counsel for the 9/11 commission investigating lapses in intelligence and security prior to the September 11, 2001, terror attacks, said the commission was not informed about the videotapes and that the decision to destroy them "reflected very bad judgment."
Tapes were 'an internal check,' chief says
Osama bin Laden lieutenant Abu Zubayda was one of two al Qaeda suspects whose interrogations were videotaped, according to a government official with knowledge of the tapes.
A government official with knowledge of the CIA's interrogation practices described the detention and interrogation program as "very tightly held." This was a "highly compartmentalized program," the official said. "Relatively few" people had "knowledge of or access to" the tapes even within the agency.
Hayden, who was not CIA director at the time of either the interrogations or their destruction, said in his letter to CIA employees that the tapes were made as "an internal check" on the CIA's use of harsh interrogation techniques, which, he said, became necessary after Zubayda's "defiant and evasive" response to "normal questioning."
John McLaughlin, who was deputy CIA director when the tapes were made, told CNN he and then-CIA Director George Tenet were told the interrogations were being taped after they had already begun. He said the reasons for the taping were consistent with what Hayden said in his letter. Neither McLaughlin, now a CNN analyst, nor Tenet were with the agency when the tapes were destroyed.
Hayden said the tapes were viewed in 2003 by the Office of the General Counsel and the Office of the Inspector General, both of which said the interrogation techniques used were lawful.
The agency made the decision to destroy the tapes "only after it was determined they were no longer of intelligence value and not relevant to any internal, legislative, or judicial inquiries," Hayden said.
"Beyond their lack of intelligence value -- as the interrogation sessions had already been exhaustively detailed in written channels -- and the absence of any legal or internal reason to keep them, the tapes posed a serious security risk," Hayden said. "Were they ever to leak, they would permit identification of your CIA colleagues who had served in the program, exposing them and their families to retaliation from al Qaeda and its sympathizers."
Levin called the security risk concern "a pathetic excuse."
"They'd have to burn every document at the CIA that has the identity of an agent on it under that theory," he said.
Hayden, in his letter, said he was providing the background information to CIA employees because he expected possible "misinterpretations of the facts in the days ahead."
Current and former government officials said that Jose Rodriguez, head of the CIA's clandestine service at the time, authorized the tapes' destruction. Rodriguez, who resigned from the agency earlier this year, was not immediately available for comment. E-mail to a friend

Husband of Matthew Lasner said "Why is she here? Her father is ruining the country."
Matthew Lasner on the left, Dan Goldstein on the right was the Ivanka Trump harasser removed from a JetBlue flight.
If you're going to harass Ivanka Trump, her husband and children to the point where you get kicked off the flight, it's probably best not to brag about it on Twitter. Because when you do, everyone knows who you are.
"Your father is ruining the country. They ruin the country now they ruin our flight!" said Dan Goldstein to Ivanka, on a Jet Blue flight. Both the gay couple and the Kushner-Trumps had their children with them. Lasner also suggested Ivanka and her family should be on a private plane. For his words and attitude, Jet Blue removed Lasner and Goldstein from the flight.
Goldstein is employed in Brooklyn as an attorney. His partner, Matthew Lasner, who tweeted about the altercation, is identified as an Professor of Urban Studies at New York's Hunter College. Just don't call them liberal elitists, k?
When Goldstein decided to take on Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, he also took on Trump Supporters.
"While Ivanka could very well take a private jet, she chooses a commercial fight to show the American people she isn't entitled unlike other celebrities and politicians, but then she is subjected to these disgusting bullies and their behavior. Shame!!!" posted Lori B.
"The left are so understanding & Peaceful they had to harass a young lady a& her child, what's really important? said Lawrence O
"Personally, I don't care if they're gay, black or purple with polka dots ..... a woman with her children should be untouchable no matter who their father are" said Lori A...
"They should be jailed and pay huge fines! Attacking a woman and her children! Shame on them!" said Betty H.
"Idiocy at its best," said Michael F.
It's noteworthy that the entire scene played out in "The Bubble," the part of the Country that went decidedly for Hillary Clinton and against Donald Trump. The two men were so confident that they would suffer no harm for harassing the President Elect's oldest daughter, that they identified themselves on Facebook and Twitter.
Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner were on a flight at JFK Airport in New York Thursday, when a passenger confronted them, said Matthew Lasner, who tweeted about the encounter between his husband and the couple.
"Ivanka and Jared at JFK T5, flying commercial. My husband chasing them down to harass them. #banalityofevil," Lasner said in a now-deleted tweet.
Lasner said in another deleted post that his husband "expressed displeasure in a calm tone" about Trump and Kushner's presence on their flight when "JetBlue staff overheard, and they kicked us off the plane." Can you imagine? Lasner also tweeted a photo appearing to show Ivanka on the flight.
JetBlue said in a statement that "The decision to remove a customer from a flight is not taken lightly." Neither was the decision to fly coach, which I'm sure Trump and Kushner will never do again.
"If the crew determines that a customer is causing conflict on the aircraft, the customer will be asked to deplane, especially if the crew feels the situation runs the risk of escalation during flight," the company said in the statement. "In this instance, our team worked to re-accommodate the party on the next available flight."
Passenger Marc Scheff told NBC News he witnessed the incident before the plane took off. Scheff said Lasner's husband was agitated and began making comments.
"The comments were definitely for everyone but he was directing them towards her," he said.
Facebook Matthew Lasner's actual posts.
In a post on Facebook, Scheff said he and his son were featured in the photo that appeared to show Ivanka Trump on the flight. Scheff wrote that the passenger who addressed Trump did not accost her directly and did not yell. "He was also not what I would describe as calm. Agitated maybe," he said in the post. Lasner remained calm throughout the incident, he added.
Scheff wrote that Lasner's husband exclaimed "they ruin the country now they ruin our flight!" The flight was delayed because the Trump family needed to get on first through different a different area than the other passengers, he said.
"When the JetBlue staff went back to speak to the man I overheard Ivanka say to them 'I don't want to make this a thing,'" Scheff wrote.
Ivanka and Jared Kushner and their family were on the way to Hawaii by way of Florida. The Secret Service confirms she is under their protection at all times, including during the flight. | positive |

A woman makes coffee outdoors in South Sudan. A new partnership aims to build on the progress of revitalizing the country’s fledgeling coffee industry. Photo by: Amy the Nurse / CC BY-NC-ND
The world’s newest country has a new export industry — and donor funding to help scale it.
The U.S. Agency for International Development will invest $3.18 million in South Sudan over the next three years to train smallholder farmers to boost production in the war-torn nation’s nascent coffee sector. The funding is part of a public-private partnership with Swiss coffee maker Nespresso and international development non-profit TechnoServe.
In October Nespresso shipped its first volumes of coffee production from South Sudan, marking the first non-oil exports to come out of the country in over a generation.
Nespresso’s investment in South Sudan’s fledgling coffee trade has given a jolt to commercial scale business in fragile and conflict-affected areas. Since launching a flagship project to revitalize coffee production in the country in 2011, around 1,000 smallholder farmers have been trained in agribusiness techniques, roughly three-quarters of whom have now reached the point of commercial sales. They have formed six coffee cooperatives and established the country’s first wet mill processing unit.
Farmers receive premium prices from Nespresso for their beans as part of a shared value strategy by the company to invest in farmer training in exchange for top dollar crops. By 2019, Nespresso aims to train 1,500 local farmers and plans for one-quarter of them to be women. Looking even further ahead, the company has set a goal of 10,000 trained coffee farmers, though no deadline has been assigned.
USAID’s investment — made through a Global Development Alliance that matches funding one-for-one with a private sector partner — comes at a critical phase for Nespresso and TechnoServe.
In addition to setting up more wet mills, the funds will go toward training a new cohort of farmers who have yet to grow any coffee from their farms, TechnoServe President William Warshauer told Devex. Until now, all of the farmers receiving training had in some way previously engaged in coffee production.
Limitations in crop production provides another challenge, as most of the country’s coffee trees were destroyed over the course of a long-running civil war that eventually saw South Sudan emerge as an independent nation in 2011. The scarcity of supply makes harvesting the next crop of coffee trees a particularly important task in order to sustain future production from the sector.
Compared to other Nespresso coffee farming investments, “What’s different in South Sudan is that here it feels like a research and development project,” Daniel Weston, Nespresso’s director for creating shared value, told Devex. “You have to invest quality dollars up front before you get the income stream.”
A large part of that R&D experiment has been the very act of operating a value chain in fragile state conditions. An estimated 2.5 million people have been displaced by ongoing conflict in South Sudan and another 6 million are in need of humanitarian assistance, Linda Etim, USAID assistant administrator for Africa, told Devex. Most of Nespresso’s coffee project is located in the southern region of South Sudan, relatively far from the main flashpoints. But those stable regions exist in isolated pockets throughout the country, cut off from traditional markets by fighting and weak infrastructure.
“There is an opportunity to invest in those stable regions,” Etim said. “You don’t want instability to backslide into more stable areas of the country while fighting is taking place in different patches of South Sudan.”
The type of scale that the partnership envisions is, by most standards, modest — 10,000 farmers across an area roughly the size of Texas. And while there is optimism about alternative livelihoods emerging to diversify an economy almost entirely reliant on oil exports, any real displacement by the coffee sector is still far off.
“This is not the sole answer for South Sudan,” Weston said. “It’s one piece of a very complex puzzle.”
But the country’s sparse population density makes that 10,000 farmer target meaningful, Atim noted: “We know because of how spread apart populations are that we have to take a locally driven approach to development in the agriculture sector.”

Browse column W hen kids play war, they end up spending less time shooting than arguing: "You're dead!" "Am not! You missed!" It just gets worse the bigger the kids. I remember a D & D'er crying when his character got killed -- wouldn't talk to the rest of us for years, still grieving for his dead elf. The US military has been having exactly this kind of argument, played out in the world press, since last August. They're even whinier and more of a pain about it than D&Ders, if you can believe that, with leaks and counter-leaks, planted stories, and plenty of good ol' character assassination. It all comes out of the "Millenium Challenge '02" war games we staged in the Persian Gulf this summer. The big scandal was that the Opposing Force Commander, Gen. Paul van Ripen, quit mid-game because the games were rigged for the US forces to win. The scenario was a US invasion of an unnamed Persian Gulf country (either Iraq or Iran). The US was testing a new hi-tech joint force doctrine, so naturally van Riper used every lo-tech trick he could think of to mess things up. When the Americans jammed his CCC network , he sent messages by motorbike. But that was just playing around. They wouldn't have minded that. Might've even congratulated van Ripen, bought him a drink for his smarts, at the post-games party. The truth is that van Ripen did something so important that I still can't believe the mainstream press hasn't made anything of it. With nothing more than a few "small boats and aircraft," van Ripen managed to sink most of the US fleet in the Persian Gulf. What this means is as simple and plain as a skull: every US Navy battle group, every one of those big fancy aircraft carriers we love, won't last one single day in combat against a serious enemy. The Navy brass tried to bluff it out, but they were pretty lame about it. They just declared the sunken ships "refloated" so the game could go on as planned. This is the kind of word-game that makes the military look so damn dumb. Too bad Bonaparte never thought of that after Trafalgar: "My vleete, she is now reflotte!" Too bad Phillip didn't demand a refloat after the Armada went down: "Oye, vatos, dees English sink todos mi ships, chinga sus madres, so escuche: el fleet es ahora refloated, OK?" Everybody in this story has an agenda-starting with the retired USMC General named Paul van Riper, the hero of the story for most readers. Even the Army Times, when it broke the story, admitted that van Riper has a reputation as an "asshole" who has a grudge against hi-tech scenarios like the one the military was testing. He also has a reputation as a guy who lives for the chance to make the brass look bad in war games. But that's what a good opposing commander is supposed to do. This van Riper may be an asshole, but then most good generals are. Patton wasn't somebody you'd want to be stuck in an elevator with. Rommel was worse; there's a story about how one morning in the desert Rommel announced to his staff officers, "Today is Christmas. We will now celebrate. Hans, how is your wife? Hermann, how is your wife?" and without waiting for his officers, to answer, Rommel said, "That was Christmas. Now-get out the maps." And whatever agenda van Ripen had, do you really think the brass who "refloated" the ships he sunk are any more objective? Their careers are all riding on the success of this operation and they've got just as much reason to lie or fudge the results. The story just got dirtier as it bounced around the web. The gullible types who believe everything the Pentagon tells them, decided to trust the brass -- van Riper was just a troublemaker. The paranoid types, the ones who think the CIA controls the weather, took it for granted that the whole war games were fixed from the start. A lot of the arguments came down to the question of what war games like Millennium Challenge are about. Trusting war-nerds were saying on the web, "Well, the whole POINT of war games is to show up weaknesses! So naturally when van Ripen sank the ships, they made a note and restarted the games!"

Third-place battle: Colin Morgan vs. Martin Freeman
Uncomfortable fact: Colin Morgan received more votes in his loss to Tom Hiddleston than Benedict Cumberbatch did in winning over Martin Freeman. Talk about a bad draw! There is redemption to be had here in a bronze medal. However, Martin Freeman‘s devotees know how to deliver a knock-out punch at the right moment. Do we remember the unexpected can of whoop-ass he exacted upon James McAvoy in Round 2? (Fun fact: if Colin Morgan married Martin Freeman, their last name would be “Morgan Freeman.” Let that soak in for a minute there.)

Join us! We need every citizen, and every citizen group in favor of transparent government to email us, and join 112 coalitions determined to implement sweeping Whistleblower protection.
Last month the trans-ideological Make It Safe Coalition (MISC) of 112 citizen organizations stood in solidarity with whistleblowers, the public's eyes and ears. MISC urged Congress to complete an eight year effort to revive the discredited Whistleblower Protection Act. (WPA). In 1978, 1989, and 1994 Congress unanimously passed this foundation good government law.
- Advertisement -
The dittos are because in practice the law hasn't been worth the paper it's written on. For example, whistleblowers' only “day in court” to enforce rights is a minor league administrative hearing at the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB), which only has found illegal retaliation twice during the Bush administration.
Voter's agree: whistleblowers are essential to the public interest, good government, and the fight to end corruption.

Voters expect more. In a post 2006 election survey of likely voters, strengthening whistleblower rights was the second highest priority, picked by 79%, second only to 81% for ending illegal government spending. At first Congress seemed to listen. In March 2007 the House promptly passed a “best practices” law. In December the Senate followed suit. But the end game has stalled. Time is running out, particularly to overturn a promised veto.
Reportedly the gridlock is because Senate leaders fear key, tougher House provisions could spark holds or filibusters there is no time to defeat. But six months of delays are making that a self-fulfilling excuse. MISC told Senate leaders that after thirty years of “safe” bills with strong rights but weak enforcement teeth, it is time to fight whatever battles are necessary for three House provisions:
*Normal court access. The hopelessly surreal MSPB record makes the facts of life unavoidable: whistleblower paper rights are a mirage without jury trials for a genuine day in court. It would be bad public policy to take the broken record approach -- a fourth generation WPA without normal court access. Workers at publicly-traded corporation have had the right to a jury trial since passage of the 2002 Sarbanes Oxley law, and three times since 2006 the Senate has provided jury trials -- for all ground transportation, defense contractor, and retail products employees. There is no excuse to give government workers second class rights to defend themselves when they defend the public.
- Advertisement -
*FBI and Intelligence Agencies. The FBI's track record of one whistleblower victory in 30 years makes it clear that a 1978 “separate but equal” system of in-house review will not work either. There are no victories since 1998 for analogous intelligence agency “protections.” Especially since 9/11, these whistleblowers are freedom's first line of defense both against outside threats like terrorists; and internal threats like illegal government domestic surveillance. But they are still in the cold, without independently-enforced rights when challenging bureaucratic abuses sustained by secrecy. The House bill does not protect public disclosures, rather creating safe channels to solve the 9/11 Commission's primary explanation for the tragedy: communications bottlenecks blocking the flow of vital information within agencies and to Congress.
* Scientific freedom. These whistleblowers have more impact on public safety than any other government function. Far more Americans have perished from drugs officially labeled safe by our government, than from enemy fire in the Vietnam and Iraq wars combined. The greatest threat facing the planet is global warming, but for six years top climate change scientists were gagged and censored while works published under their names were rewritten by energy industry lobbyists. For matters beyond principle, there simply is no whistleblower topic with higher stakes.
The public can and will make the difference. If politicians think voters no longer care, they will avoid risks and run out the clock or pass another bill with second class enforcement. But if voters reaffirm their post-2006 election priority, it could go to the President by the end of the month. No prior government or corporate whistleblower law needed more than a month to reconcile House-Senate differences for consensus rights.
Readers should Google their Senators' emails, and write insisting that each personally urge Majority Leader Harry Reid, and Senators Lieberman and Collins on the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee to finish work on this reform. And to reserve floor time against filibusters and vetoes risked by finally doing it right. That means giving all taxpayer-financed workers access to jury trials to fight retaliation - just as it has done three times this Congress for corporate workers. Tell them you won't accept any less. Government workers defending America's families need first class rights at much as corporate workers defending America's investments.

Tom Devine is legal director of the Government Accountability Project, where he has worked since January 1979. GAP is a nonprofit, nonpartisan public-interest organization that champions the rights of whistleblowers, employees who exercise freedom of speech to challenge abuses of power that betray the public trust. During his 27 years at GAP he has represented or informally helped more than 4,000 whistleblowers to make a difference, such as by stopping nuclear power plants that were accidents waiting to happen and blocking deregulation of meat inspection. He has been a leader in the campaigns to pass or defend nearly all major national or international whistleblower laws, from the breakthrough right to jury trials for corporate whistleblowers in the Sarbanes-Oxley law, to the December 2005 U.N. policy legalizing public freedom of expression for its own whistleblowers. Devine has authored or co-authored numerous law review articles and books. The second edition of his lessons-learned manual, Courage Without Martyrdom: The Whistleblower's Survival Guide, will be published after a hoped-for victory in the campaign to restore credible rights for federal employees under the Whistleblower Protection Act. | positive |

My former employer, the San Jose Mercury News, recently ran an opinion column that illustrated several regrettable elements of modern opinion journalism. The piece, under the names of two former members of Congress, accused online video service Netflix of getting an unfair subsidy. It further urged pricing schemes that would, in effect, force Netflix to pay broadband providers more to provide programming to customers.
The op-ed column was a standard public relations tactic. Under the names John Sununu and Harold Ford, former politicians turned corporate mouthpieces, it urged a specific public policy for an organisation largely funded by – you guessed it – the broadband companies. The logic of the column was laughable, and easily refuted.
Unfortunately, newspapers often don't check to see if their op-ed contributors are shading the truth or lying outright. The evidence is clear that some editorial page editors don't believe it's their responsibility to vet for accuracy and truth what they publish, unless the material comes from their own staff – and, of course, even that doesn't guarantee veracity.
Sununu and Ford's bylines reflected a separate failing of modern media, one that is barely on the radar of most news organisations. I'm referring to bylined opinion pieces that are quite obviously not written by the supposed authors. Op-ed pieces that run under the bylines of famous politicians, celebrities and business people are almost never written by those people, just as they rarely author their autobiographies. They don't have time. Their staffers and PR people, or paid ghostwriters in the case of books, do the research and writing for them.
Sometimes, the "author" is blindsided by what he or she "wrote". This can have hilarious results, as in the case of retired basketball star Charles Barkley. Upon the publication of his autobiography, which contained some controversial observations, he complained that he'd been misquoted. Then again, he hadn't actually read it, let alone written it.
Society has a blind spot about this practice – and applies a double standard. If we catch a student paying someone to write his or her paper for a class, or even if the actual writer does it for free, we give the student a failing grade. Or, in some cases (such as in a journalism school), we might well invite the student (and perhaps the collaborator, too, if it's another student) to quit altogether.
One school of thought says ghostwritten op-eds are a lot like speechwriter-written speeches. Since we all know that most famous people don't write all their own lines for speeches, goes this defence of the practice, we should assume the same with a byline – whether on a book or an op-ed. It's a tempting analogy, but wrong in a key way: a false byline is an outright, direct lie. And news organisations that run these pieces are encouraging dishonesty, which they compound, albeit with good motives, by helpfully editing often turgid prose to make it more compelling.
The Guardian ensures that purported authors at least read and approve of what goes out under their names. The Washington Post says its policy is that op-eds be written by the bylined person – though it cuts some slack for powerful politicians with speechwriters, in part because sometimes those ghostwritten pieces make news. (No one will ever convince me that Sarah Palin wrote this Post op-ed column, though it's possible that she read the falsehood-ridden piece before it was published.)
I wish I could persuade editors that they are contributing, albeit in a relatively small way, to public cynicism about the media by allowing this sleight of hand to persist. And if I was running a news organisation, I wouldn't run such pieces, period. If I'd flunk a student for doing it, why should I give a pass to the rich and powerful? | positive |

July 12 (Reuters) - The teenage survivor of a shooting attack in suburban Houston in which her parents and four siblings were killed told a memorial event on Saturday her family was "in a much better place" and that she was making a full recovery from her injuries.
Cassidy Stay, 15, spoke to a large gathering outside an elementary school three days after the shootings at her home. Police said Ronald Lee Haskell, 33, entered the house posing as a delivery man and searching for his former wife, the sister of Cassidy's mother. He then shot members of the family, authorities said.
Haskell is charged with capital murder.
Cassidy Stay wiped away tears but smiled as she spoke of her parents, Stephen Stay, 39, and Katie, 33, and her two brothers and two sisters, aged 4 to 14.
"I know that my mom, dad, Bryan, Emily, Becca and Zach are in a much better place and that I'll be able to see them again one day," Cassidy said in remarks televised by local media. "Thank you all for coming and for showing support for me and my family. Stay strong,"
Cassidy said she drew strength from the "Harry Potter" series of books and films.
"In 'The Prisoner of Azkaban,' Dumbledore says: 'Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the light,'" she said.
"I'm feeling a lot better," she added, "and I'm on a straightforward path to a full recovery."
Cassidy, released from a hospital on Friday after treatment for a head wound, was credited by authorities with saving lives by calling the 911 emergency line and warning police the gunman was on his way to another house where relatives lived.
Police captured Haskell on Wednesday night after a four-hour standoff.
Doug Durham, Haskell's public defender, said his client had been in and out of hospitals in Utah and California with a history of mental illness and was not taking prescribed medication at the time of the killings. | positive |

Conservatives are trying to smear former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for her work in 1975 as a court-appointed attorney for an indigent defendant alleged to have raped a 12-year-old girl, a case she detailed in her memoir a decade ago. As Republican lawyers and the American Bar Association have previously noted, such criticisms undermine the American system of justice.
Conservatives Revive Old News About Clinton's Defense Of A Rapist
Free Beacon Unearths Audio Tapes Of Clinton Discussing The Case In The Early 1980s. From a June 15 article from the conservative Washington Free Beacon:
Newly discovered audio recordings of Hillary Clinton from the early 1980s include the former first lady's frank and detailed assessment of the most significant criminal case of her legal career: defending a man accused of raping a 12-year-old girl. In 1975, the same year she married Bill, Hillary Clinton agreed to serve as the court-appointed attorney for Thomas Alfred Taylor, a 41-year-old accused of raping the child after luring her into a car. The recordings, which date from 1983-1987 and have never before been reported, include Clinton's suggestion that she knew Taylor was guilty at the time. She says she used a legal technicality to plead her client, who faced 30 years to life in prison, down to a lesser charge. [Washington Free Beacon, 6/15/14]
Clinton Previously Described The Story In Her Memoir And In An Extensive 2008 Newsday Article. In 2008, while Clinton was running for the Democratic nomination for president, Newsday produced a 3,000-word report on Clinton's 1975 work for an alleged rapist, noting that Clinton had detailed the story in her 2003 memoir:
In 1975, a 27-year-old Hillary Rodham, acting as a court-appointed attorney, attacked the credibility of a 12-year-old girl in mounting an aggressive defense for an indigent client accused of rape in Arkansas - using her child development background to help the defendant. The case offers a glimpse into the way Clinton deals with crisis. Her approach, then and now, was to immerse herself in even unpleasant tasks with a will to win, an attitude captured in one of her favorite aphorisms: "Bloom where you're planted." [...] In May 1975, Washington County prosecutor Mahlon Gibson called Rodham, who had taken over the law clinic months earlier, to tell her she'd been appointed to represent a hard-drinking factory worker named Thomas Alfred Taylor, who had requested a female attorney. In her 2003 autobiography "Living History," Clinton writes that she initially balked at the assignment, but eventually secured a lenient plea deal for Taylor after a New York-based forensics expert she hired "cast doubt on the evidentiary value of semen and blood samples collected by the sheriff's office." However, that account leaves out a significant aspect of her defense strategy - attempting to impugn the credibility of the victim, according to a Newsday examination of court and investigative files and interviews with witnesses, law enforcement officials and the victim. [Newsday, 2/24/08, via Nexis]
Legal And Child Welfare Experts Told Newsday Clinton Acted Appropriately. From the Newsday article:
Rodham, legal and child welfare experts say, did nothing unethical by attacking the child's credibility - although they consider her defense of Taylor to be aggressive.
"She was vigorously advocating for her client. What she did was appropriate," said Andrew Schepard, director of Hofstra Law School's Center for Children, Families and the Law. "He was lucky to have her as a lawyer ... In terms of what's good for the little girl? It would have been hell on the victim. But that wasn't Hillary's problem." [Newsday, 2/24/08, via Nexis]
Right-Wing Media Attack Clinton Over Representing An Alleged Rapist
Fox's Guilfoyle Claims Clinton Volunteered To Defend An Alleged Rapist. On the June 20 edition of The Five, Fox host Kimberly Guilfoyle said: "Hillary Clinton made a choice. She was not a public defender. She took this on as private counsel and elected to represent a man and get a reduced sentence for someone who raped a child. How does this set well with the message she's trying to communicate that she's for women and this is something she's fascinated about?" She later added, "Who should I believe? Which is the real Hillary Clinton? The one back then taking cases on, voluntarily choosing to represent a child rapist?" [Fox News, The Five, 6/20/14, via Nexis]
Fox's Bolling: Clinton Laughed About Getting Rapist Off, No One Who Did What Clinton Did Should Be President. On the June 20 edition of The Five, host Eric Bolling said:
BOLLING: Hillary Clinton said she knew the guy was guilty. Yet, she's still defended him and got him off, quote, "got him off with time served, ha-ha-ha." Why does that matter? Because you look at Hillary Clinton if she wants to run in 2016. Do you want someone who feasibly could be sitting in the Oval Office, making decisions, who could laugh about a 12 -- getting off someone she knew was guilty on some sort of legal technicality. I guess that's not the kind of leadership I want. That's not the kind of character I would want my president to have. [Fox News, The Five, 6/20/14, via Nexis]
Fox's Hannity Criticizes Clinton For Defending Someone She Knew Was Guilty. On his June 18 Fox News show, Sean Hannity attacked Clinton, saying, "She said she thought he was guilty. She got him off with two months. He raped a 12-year-old girl... She defended him ... She's bragging about it." [Fox News, Hannity, 6/18/14, via Nexis]
Clinton Didn't Volunteer, Was Reportedly Appointed By A Judge
Clinton: The Prosecutor Told Me "I Couldn't Very Well Refuse The Judge's Request." In her memoir, Living History, Clinton writes: "One, day, the Washington County prosecuting attorney, Mahlon Gibson, called to tell me an indigent prisoner accused of raping a twelve-year-old girl wanted a woman lawyer. Gibson had recommended that the criminal court judge, Maupin Cummings, appoint me. I told Mahlon I really didn't feel comfortable taking on such a client, but Mahlon gently reminded me that I couldn't very well refuse the judge's request. [Hillary Clinton, Living History, 2003, (pp. 72-73)]
Newsday: Clinton Was Assigned To The Case, Didn't Want To Take It. From the 2008 Newsday article:
On May 21, 1975, Tom Taylor rose in court to demand that Washington County Judge Maupin Cummings allow him to fire his male court-appointed lawyer in favor of a female attorney. Taylor, who earned a meager wage at a paper bag factory and lived with relatives, had already spent 10 days in the county jail and was grasping for a way to avoid a 30 years-to-life term in the state penitentiary for rape. Taylor, 41, figured a jury would be less hostile to a rape defendant represented by a woman, according to one of his friends. Cummings agreed to the request, scanned the list of available female attorneys (there were only a half dozen in the county at the time) and assigned Rodham, who had virtually no experience in criminal litigation. "Hillary told me she didn't want to take that case, she made that very clear," recalls prosecutor Gibson, who phoned her with the judge's order. [Newsday, 2/24/08, via Nexis]
Clinton Was Required By Law To Provide The Strongest Defense She Could
CNN's Toobin: Clinton Was "Obligated To Work Diligently To Help Her Client." CNN.com reported:
Many legal experts agree that Clinton was required, by law, to provide the best defense she was able. "Once a defense attorney accepts a criminal case, she is obligated to work diligently to help her client and that can often be upsetting to prosecutors and even to victims," said Jeffrey Toobin, CNN's senior legal analyst and a former federal prosecutor. "That is how the system is designed to work." Toobin added: "There is no such thing as a criminal defense attorney who only represents innocent clients. Part of the job of the defense attorney is to assist a client whether they are guilty or not." [CNN.com, 6/20/14]
Washington Post's Adler: "This Is Not Something For Which She Should Be Attacked." Libertarian lawyer Jonathan Adler wrote of the case for The Washington Post:
It seems that election season is open season on defense attorneys. Much, if not all, of the criticism of Clinton resulting from this story is misplaced. She was asked (by the prosecutor, no less) to represent a criminal defendant. Her client was accused of raping a 12-year-old girl. From what I can tell, Clinton believed her client was guilty but was nonetheless able to obtain a favorable plea deal because the government had mishandled incriminating evidence. A forensic lab performed tests on blood stains found on the defendant's underwear, but discarded the relevant piece of clothing (literally leaving a pair of underwear with a hole cut out). Lacking the necessary physical evidence to convict, the prosecution offered a plea deal. Some of the relevant court documents are available here. A previously unreleased interview with Clinton about the case is available here. What should we make of this story? Perhaps nothing more than that Hillary Clinton represented someone in need and fulfilled her duty as a member of the bar to provide a zealous defense of her client. This is not something for which she should be attacked. We are all the worse off if the message sent to young lawyers is that representing guilty or unpopular clients is likely to be a political liability down the road. Ably and effectively representing a criminal defendant - even one you believe to be guilty - is not "scummy" or inappropriate. Forcing the state to prove its case before it deprives an individual of their life, liberty or property is a noble endeavor. So while I think the story is newsworthy, I think most of the attacks on Clinton for this episode are misplaced, and a bit opportunistic. [WashingtonPost.com, 6/20/14, emphasis added]
Numerous GOP Lawyers And The ABA Have Said Attacks On Lawyers For Defending Alleged Criminals Undermine The Justice System
In recent years, Republicans have repeatedly sought to attack Obama administration appointees and Democratic candidates by highlighting their defense of alleged criminals. But Republican lawyers have frequently pointed out that such attacks are flawed and undermine the American justice system.
Kenneth Starr, Top Bush Administration Lawyers Denounced "Shameful" Republican Attacks On Lawyers. In 2010, a conservative group run by Liz Cheney produced an ad that questioned the loyalties of Department of Justice attorneys appointed by President Obama who had previously representative detainees at Guantanamo Bay. Numerous conservative lawyers subsequently signed a letter stating that the attacks on the Justice Department lawyers were "shameful" and "undermine[d] the Justice system" by undermining the American tradition of providing "zealous representation of unpopular clients." Politico reported that the signers included former independent counsel Kenneth Starr as well as:
[F]ormer Deputy Attorney General Larry Thompson, John Ashcroft's No. 2, and Peter Keisler, who served as acting attorney general during President Bush's second term. They also include several lawyers who dealt directly with detainee policy: Matthew Waxman and Charles "Cully" Stimson, who each served as deputy assistant secretary of defense for detainee affairs; Daniel Dell'Orto, who was acting general counsel for the Department of Defense; and Bradford Berenson, a prominent Washington lawyer who worked on the issues as an associate White House counsel during President Bush's first term. [Politico, 3/8/10]
Sen. Lindsey Graham: "This System Of Justice That We're So Proud Of In America Requires The Unpopular To Have An Advocate." Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) responded to the ad by stating, "I'm with Kenneth Starr on this one," adding:
I've been a military lawyer for almost 30 years, I represented people as a defense attorney in the military that were charged with some pretty horrific acts, and I gave them my all. This system of justice that we're so proud of in America requires the unpopular to have an advocate and every time a defense lawyer fights to make the government do their job, that defense lawyer has made us all safer. [Foreign Policy, 3/9/10]
Former Attorney General Michael Mukasey: "You Shouldn't Judge A Lawyer By His Clients." Former Attorney General Michael Mukasey also called the attacks "wrong." In a Wall Street Journal op-ed headlined, "Why You Shouldn't Judge A Lawyer by His Clients," Michael Mukasey, who served as attorney general under George W. Bush, wrote that it's "wrong to criticize attorneys who represent alleged terrorists" and noted that the D.C. bar's rules of conduct say representation of a client should "not be portrayed as endorsement of the client's views or behavior":
It is plainly prudent for us to assure that no government lawyers are bringing to their public jobs any agenda driven by views other than those that would permit full-hearted enforcement of laws that fall within their responsibility-whether those laws involve prosecution of drug dealers, imposition of the death penalty, or detention of those who seek to wage holy war against the United States. It's also prudent that Congress exercise its long-established oversight responsibility to provide that assurance. But that prudence is not properly exercised by arguing that lawyers who defended drug cases, or worked on defense teams in death-penalty cases, or helped bring legal proceedings in behalf of those detained as terrorists, are automatically to be identified with their former clients and regarded as a fifth column within the Justice Department. The rules of conduct of the District of Columbia bar, for example, direct that representation of a client not be portrayed as endorsement of the client's views or behavior. If the Department of Justice comes to attract only lawyers who have spent their professional energy principally in avoiding matters of controversy, the quality of lawyers willing to serve at the department will decline, and the department will suffer, as will we all. [Wall Street Journal, 3/10/10]
Former Bush Administration Official Peter D. Keisler: Acting Within "Honorable Tradition Of Lawyers Representing Controversial Clients" Does Not Make Someone "Unfit" For Service. The New York Times reported that former Bush administration official Peter D. Keisler highlighted the "longstanding and very honorable tradition of lawyers representing unpopular or controversial clients" in response to attacks on Obama administration nominees:
Peter D. Keisler, who was assistant attorney general for the civil division in the Bush administration, said in an interview that it was "wrong" to attack lawyers who volunteered to help such lawsuits before joining the Justice Department. "There is a longstanding and very honorable tradition of lawyers representing unpopular or controversial clients," Mr. Keisler said. "The fact that someone has acted within that tradition, as many lawyers, civilian and military, have done with respect to people who are accused of terrorism - that should never be a basis for suggesting that they are unfit in any way to serve in the Department of Justice." [The New York Times, 3/4/10]
Former Bush Lawyer John Bellinger Called Attacks On Lawyers For Defending A Client "Inappropriate" "Cheap Shots." In a CNN appearance, former Bush administration lawyer John Bellinger called attacks on the DOJ lawyers who represent controversial clients "cheap shots":
I think those sorts of cheap shots, suggesting that a lawyer who is simply defending a client somehow shares those views, are -- really are inappropriate. [...] John Adams represented Tories who were accused of treason back in the revolution. This is the sort of work that we ought be applauding and not attacking. [CNN, The Situation Room, 3/4/10]
American Bar Association: Legal Representation Of Murderer "Consistent With The Finest Tradition" Of American Lawyering. Critics smeared Debo Adegbile, President Obama's nominee to head the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, citing his defense of Mumia Abu-Jamal who had been sentenced to death for the murder of a police officer. The president of the American Bar Association (ABA), James R. Silkenat, wrote a letter to the Democratic and Republican leaders of the Senate Judiciary Committee unequivocally stating that Adegbile "should be commended, not condemned" for his work. From the January 13, 2014, letter:
As the Senate Judiciary Committee prepares to deliberate over the nomination of Debo Adegbile to be Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division, I write to address the criticism this nominee has received regarding the legal representation he provided to a death-sentenced prisoner. A fundamental tenet of our justice system and our Constitution is that anyone who faces loss of liberty has a right to legal counsel. Lawyers have an ethical obligation to uphold that principle and provide zealous representation to people who otherwise would stand alone against the power and resources of the government - even to those accused or convicted of terrible crimes. The American people understand this obligation, and the corollary principle stated in rule 1.2(b) of the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct that "[a] lawyer's representation of a client does not constitute an endorsement of the client's political, economic, social or moral views or activities." I was alarmed to learn that there is some opposition to Mr. Adegbile's nomination based solely on his efforts to protect the fundamental rights of an unpopular client while working at the Legal Defense Fund. His work, like the work of ABA members who provide thousands of hours of pro bono legal services every year, is consistent with the finest tradition of this country's legal profession and should be commended, not condemned. [American Bar Association, 1/13/14]
Christie Campaign Lawyer Robert Luskin: "A Lawyer Is Only, Ever An Advocate; He's Not A Co Conspirator Or An Enabler." In April, the Republican Governor's Association produced an ad criticizing Vincent Sheheen, Democratic candidate for governor in South Carolina, for representing defendants. Robert Luskin, a lawyer who represented Gov. Chris Christie's (R-NJ) reelection campaign, criticized the ad, calling it a "disgrace." From The Huffington Post:
A lawyer representing Gov. Chris Christie's reelection campaign has weighed in on the RGA ad in an email to HuffPost later on Wednesday. Robert Luskin is a partner at Patton Boggs who, along with his colleague Mark Sheridan, is representing the campaign and the New Jersey Republican State Committee in connection with the Bridgegate scandal. Luskin said, "I did watch the ad and, wow, it's a disgrace. The people who talk incessantly about American exceptionalism ought to demonstrate some understanding -- and some respect -- for what makes our system truly admirable: that includes the willingness of lawyers to stand up for their clients no matter how ugly the allegation. But a lawyer is only, ever an advocate; he's not a co conspirator or an enabler." Luskin added, "I suppose the take away here is that in 2014, as in every election that preceded it, people will say whatever they think they need to in order to win. That's no surprise. But one would certainly hope that an organization like the RGA would also show some respect for the institutions that make our country special." [The Huffington Post, 4/23/14]
Wash. Post's Adler: "Representing Unpopular Causes Or Clients Is Never Easy, But It Is Necessary." Libertarian lawyer Jonathan Adler wrote of the anti-Sheheen ad for The Washington Post:
Representing unpopular causes or clients is never easy, but it is necessary. Organized efforts to blunt the careers of those who take on such efforts are shameful. It would be one thing if Sheheen were accused of unethical conduct in his representation of his clients. It is quite another to attack him for defending those who, however horrific their crimes, needed a legal defense. A lawyer is responsible for his or her own conduct, and is not responsible for the sins of the client. The RGA is not the first to attack lawyers for having agreed to represent unpopular clients or causes, but that hardly makes the ad any more defensible. [WashingtonPost.com, 4/24/14]
American Bar Association President: Right To Legal Counsel A "Fundamental Tenet Of America's Justice System." In a letter to Christie, ABA President Silkenat wrote that the message the anti-Sheheen ad sends "is wrong in the context of the American system of justice, and it must be rejected." He explained:
A fundamental tenet of America's justice system and Constitution is that anyone who faces loss of liberty has a right to legal counsel. Lawyers have an ethical obligation to uphold that principle and provide zealous representation to people who otherwise would stand alone against the power and resources of the government -- even to those accused or convicted of terrible crimes. [...] The rule of law that governs our society delivers justice specifically because everyone has a right to competent representation. This right is especially important for those who arouse our fear and anger, to ensure that the process by which they are judged is fair and just. This process is what distinguishes us from our darker history, when mobs decided guilt or innocence and punished those they deemed guilty. [...] The Republican Governors Association ad sends a disturbing message to lawyers -- that their clients' past actions or beliefs will stain their own careers, especially if they want to serve their country in public office. Voters who subsequently pass judgment on the candidate for the singular reason that he was a competent lawyer are disqualifying him from public service. On the contrary, lawyers who represent unpopular or guilty clients demonstrate the kind of courage and confidence in our legal system that characterizes the finest public servants. [Silkenat letter, 4/25/14]
In Tapes, Clinton Is Laughing About Legal Process, Not About Getting A Criminal Off
The Daily Beast's Marcotte: "Clinton Knows Rape Is No Laughing Matter." Conservative critics have alleged that instances of Clinton laughing while discussing the case are evidence that she does not take rape seriously. In response, The Daily Beast's Amanda Marcotte noted that Clinton was laughing at the absurdity of the legal process, not "at the rape victim." From the column:
In particular, two laughs are being singled out as some kind of evidence of secret non-feminism on Clinton's part. At one point, when discussing how the prosecution fumbled the case, Clinton laughs at their screw-up. At another point, Clinton laughs at her client, saying that he passed the polygraph test, "which forever destroyed my faith in polygraphs." Notably, Clinton does not actually laugh at the rape victim, so any anger over the laughter is not in defense of the victim. The notion that anyone who has had to do a job dealing with rapists is not allowed to ever have a laugh about the absurdities of the work itself--or the lies that rapists come up with to deflect blame--is a notion clearly invented just to hold Clinton to it. And is a notion that will be abandoned the second it's not politically expedient in the future. [The Daily Beast, 6/17/14]
CNN Legal Analyst: "She's Not Laughing About The Fact She Got Somebody Off. She's Laughing About The Process." CNN legal analyst Paul Callan explained that while some are getting the misimpression that Clinton was laughing about getting the rapist of a 12-year-old girl a light sentence, a close review of the tapes indicates that is not what happened. From the June 20 edition of CNN's The Lead:
PAUL CALLAN, CNN LEGAL ANALYST: Of course, you know, Abraham Lincoln defended criminals, John Adams defended criminals. So it's always hard when a lawyer runs for office because you get cherry picked on certain cases. I think the real criticism here, I just came from a deposition with a bunch of hardened New York lawyers around the table. I said I'm going to be going to CNN. I played them the tape and they were all shocked when they heard she was laughing about a case in which she got a guy who raped a 12-year- old girl off or got a lighter sentence for it. Then we played the tape and everybody was, what's going on here? She doesn't really do anything that's strange. If you listen to the whole tape, she's not laughing about the fact she got somebody off. She's laughing about the process. She talking about for instance she flew up to Brooklyn to get the world's leading expert on blood samples and the prosecutor was very upset about that. So she laughs about the prosecutor being upset. She's never laughing about a victim not getting justice. It's kind of a -- it's a lawyer telling a lawyer tale. [CNN, The Lead with Jake Tapper, 6/20/14, via Nexis]

Staff writer, with CNA
Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je (柯文哲), known for his off-the-cuff remarks to reporters, made news again yesterday after saying that he might pass a gift watch to a scrapyard because he had “no use for it.”
The pocket watch was given to him by British Minister of State for Transport Susan Kramer.
Giving clocks or watches as gifts is traditionally seen as taboo in Taiwanese and Chinese culture because the phrase “giving a clock” (送鐘) is pronounced the same as “bidding farewell” to the deceased (送終) at a funeral.
After being asked by reporters whether he felt uncomfortable with the gift, Ko said he was not worried, because he and his wife were both doctors and were not superstitious.
He added that he lives on the fourth floor, considered unlucky by some people because the number four sounds similar to the word “death” (死).
However, the comment that drew the most media attention came as Ko laughed and said: “I can just give it to someone else or take it to a scrap metal dealer and sell it for cash.”
Taipei City Government spokesperson Lin Ho-ming (林鶴明) said that the mayor’s comment “was just a joke,” and that the gift had been stored in the city repository and would not be sold.
In his meeting with Kramer, Ko spoke in English as they discussed rail transport and urban renewal — important topics for Taipei as it prepares to host the 2017 Universiade.
The mayor presented Kramer with a miniature of Taipei 101. There was no word on what she thought of the gift.
Kramer was quoted by officials with the British Trade and Cultural Office in Taipei later in the day as saying that she had learned something about giving gifts.
“I’m sorry. We learn something new each day. I had no idea a gift like this could be seen as anything other than positive: In the UK a watch is precious — because nothing is more important than time,” she was quoted as saying. “The gift came from the House of Lords — which is only accessible to members of the UK’s upper parliament. It is a very unique item.”
“It was a huge honor to meet Mayor Ko. We look forward to working with him and his team in Taipei,” she added. | positive |

Lettering along the sides of the floor say "Steve Fisher Court." SDSU President Elliot Hirshman said the honor was in recognition of Fisher’s service to the university and San Diego community. Fisher is entering his 17th season at the helm of the Aztecs. In those 17 seasons, he has turned the Aztecs into a threat in the West region. SDSU has earned nine Mountain West championships during his tenure, won at least 20 games in a season 10 years in a row, appeared in the NCAA Tournament six straight seasons and reached two "Sweet Sixteens" during March Madness. The team has thus seen a large rise in game attendance. The arena’s seats were mostly empty when he arrived on campus in 1999. Basketball games have been sold out at Viejas Arena several years in a row now, and the school has a long waiting list for season seats. "I’ve been very, very fortunate to have people I’ve worked for, and with, that have been immensely supportive, uniquely understanding the value of college athletics in a university environment, and wanting to assist and make it work the correct way," Fisher said. "So, even though it says `Steve Fisher Court,’ it’s a product of the team." Before coming to San Diego, Fisher was the head coach at Michigan for eight full seasons, plus the end of another year when he led the Wolverines to the 1989 national championship.

The proposed mosque is becoming a divisive issue between Republicans and tea party conservatives. Mosque debate strains tea party, GOP
The debate over the proposed mosque near ground zero, which has tied Democrats in knots, turns out to be just as tricky for their adversaries on the right — particularly those in the tea party.
Within the loose coalition of local and national conservative activist groups that form the tea party movement, a quiet tug of war is being waged between those who want to embrace the hard-line opposition that has emerged as the Republican Party line and those who have urged their fellow tea partiers to refrain from rallying opposition because it’s inconsistent with the movement’s focus on economic and constitutional issues.
Story Continued Below
While the debate is taking place within the confines of the movement, it nevertheless reflects a larger sense of unease on the right with an issue that is dividing both Republicans and tea party conservatives over tensions between core principles such as balancing religious freedom and property rights and the raw feelings evoked by the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a rising GOP star, warned Monday against "overreacting" to the threat of terror and painting "all of Islam" with the brush of terrorism.
Michael Gerson, a former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, expressed similar apprehensions Monday.
“A president not only serves Muslim citizens, not only commands Muslims in the American military, but also leads a coalition that includes Iraqi and Afghan Muslims who risk death each day fighting Islamic radicalism at our side,” he wrote in The Washington Post. “How could he possibly tell them that their place of worship inherently symbolizes the triumph of terror?
Nowhere is the conflict more obvious than among tea party activists, who have sought to distinguish themselves from a Republican Party they say has strayed from its adherence to the principles of individual liberties and limited government. For tea partiers, the mosque dilemma also is representative of a larger philosophical battle that has raged within their movement almost from its inception last year in protest of what activists saw as the unchecked government expansion being pushed by President Barack Obama and congressional Democrats. While some of the tea party’s earliest organizers have struggled to keep the movement tightly focused on fiscal and constitutional restraint, other activists and conservative interests have tried to direct the tea party’s energy toward national security or social causes including supporting Israel or opposing illegal immigration, abortion and same-sex marriage. | positive |

A new port of GNU Guix to ARM using the "hard float" ABI has just landed, thanks to the hard work of Mark H Weaver and John Darrington. This makes it the fourth supported architecture after x86_64, i686, and mips64el. We are looking for ARM hardware donations that would allow us to add this architecture to our continuous integration build farm; your help is welcome!
In other news, there has been work to improve Linux module handling, the addition of session support in the login manager, more tooling in 'guix lint', an nscd configuration interface, many new packages (Xfce, NumPy, SciPy, and Clang, to name a few), and many bug fixes. Getting closer to a new release!
About GNU Guix
GNU Guix is the functional package manager for the GNU system, and a distribution thereof.
In addition to standard package management features, Guix supports transactional upgrades and roll-backs, unprivileged package management, per-user profiles, and garbage collection. It also offers a declarative approach to operating system configuration management. Guix uses low-level mechanisms from the Nix package manager, except that packages are defined as native Guile modules, using extensions to the Scheme language.
At this stage the distribution can be used on an i686 or x86_64 machine. It is also possible to use Guix on top of an already installed GNU/Linux system, including on mips64el and armhf.

Air Conditioning Installation: 3 Benefits of Investing in a Portable AC - Creating Homey Comfort with HVAC Advances Creating Homey Comfort with HVAC Advances About Me Hi, my name is Melissa. When my husband and I were looking for a home, I wanted beauty, and he wanted efficiency. After we bought a house that I fell in love with, I realized why he had been so insistent about efficiency. Our "new" home was over 100 years old, and its drafty windows and old HVAC system made it extremely expensive to live there. While paying super high energy bills, I realized that it takes more than great wood work and the right furniture to make a home. It also takes a super powerful HVAC system and a well sealed and insulted structure. If you are ready to create homey comfort, it's time to look at your HVAC system. This blog has the tips, ideas and resources you need to create home sweet home. Air Conditioning Installation: 3 Benefits of Investing in a Portable AC Anyone who's ever suffered through a summer without air conditioning can attest to the importance of air conditioning installation. Not only does air conditioning make indoor spaces more comfortable, but it also has several other benefits worth considering. Aside from central air conditioners, you can also explore portable units that you can move around the house. Read along to learn why investing in a portable AC is a smart decision. User-Friendly Many people choose to invest in portable air conditioners because they are easy to install. Unlike traditional window units, portable air conditioners don't have to be fitted in one designated place. They also do not require any special tools or skills for installation. Simply place the unit in the desired location, attach the exhaust hose to the window, and plug the unit into an electrical outlet. Most portable air conditioners also come with a remote controller, which makes it even easier to adjust the temperature from anywhere in the room. Flexibility Aside from their user-friendliness, portable air conditioners are also a great option for people who want the flexibility to move their units around as needed. The unit's portability offers you a great deal of flexibility when it comes to managing the temperature in your home. Unlike a traditional air conditioner, which is fixed in one place, a portable unit can be moved from room to room as needed. This means that you can keep the temperature in your living room cool during the day and then move the unit into your bedroom at night. Portable air conditioners are also an excellent option for renters as they can easily be taken with you when you move. Energy Efficient As people become more conscious of their energy usage, portable air conditioners are becoming an increasingly popular choice. Investing in a portable AC installation can be a wise move for your wallet and the environment. Portable air conditioners are much more energy efficient thanks to their zoned functionality. You can be sure that no cool air will go to waste because the unit's cooling capacity is limited to specific sections of your home. For instance, if you hardly have guests over, you can forgo cooling the guest bedroom unless you're anticipating a visit from a friend or a family member. If you're on the fence about investing in portable air conditioning equipment, hopefully, this article has shed some light on its benefits. When you make up your mind to purchase the unit, contact a local AC installation service such as Scott Guerin Heating & Cooling to guide you on the best equipment for your house.
