This is PART 1.
Verizon's Open Internet Comments, Excerpts, July 15, 2014
"Imposing a Title II common carriage regime on broadband providers would be a radical change in course that would only chill, not spur innovation. Title II is a regulatory dinosaur, crafted eighty years ago - and based on 19th-Century laws regulating railroads - to address the one-wire world of rotary telephones. All of the hallmarks of Title II..."
You've been lied to. It's that simple. This is a direct excerpt from a Verizon NY cable franchise agreement, 2014, and it is similar, if not identical to every other Verizon state-based fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) deployment.
Background
You probably heard about "Net Neutrality" or something called "Title II." Simply put: In 2004-2005, the FCC closed the networks to direct competition by changing the classification of the wires from a "telecommunications" (Title II) service, to an "Information service," (Title I) -- i.e., today you can not pick your own ISP, cable TV or broadband provider over the wires coming into your home or office. Before 2004, the Telecommunications Act of 1996 opened the phone wires to all forms of competitors -- and broadband was always Title II and was always telecommunications. An "information service" doesn't the same obligations.
Closing the networks caused Net Neutrality issues. Verizon can block most competition and control the wires and the services, including your broadband, Internet and cable TV service. This gives them the power to create "fast lanes" or "prioritize" -- or all of those other buzz words you've been hearing about.
Meanwhile, there has been a call to return, i.e., "reclassify" the wires back to Title II to solve Net Neutrality (with caveats). But it is not necessary for Verizon; Verizon fooled everyone and never changed their classification. The language in the example above is similar, if not identical to Verizon's agreements in every state we checked.
Verizon Uses Title II to Charge Phone Customers and Get Rights-of Way.
We uncovered that Verizon has lied to the FCC, the courts and to the media as Verizon's entire fiber optic networks have been and continue to be classified as "Title II" in state-based proceedings. Verizon did this (and got the state regulators to agree) so that Verizon can use the state utility rights-of-way and, at least in New York State, charge phone customers extra for network upgrades used by FiOS, Verizon's fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) fiber optic service, among other expenses. The sick part -- these rate increases are on all phone customers in the State, from low income families, seniors and minorities, to small businesses -- everyone with phone service.
FACT: Title II doesn't harm investment. It is a cash machine and has made customers defacto investors in the networks -- networks that they may never get as Verizon announced it is no longer upgrading their networks for FiOS by replacing the aging copper wires with fiber optic landlines.
FACT: This use of Title II is in direct contradiction to every Verizon statement, filing, not to mention the statements, reports, filings and tweets of the phone companies' paid consultants, analysts, associations and astroturf groups that all claim that Title II harms investment.
Verizon's Financial Shell Game Exposed.
But this is only part of the story. At the heart of this is a massive financial shell game, maneuvering billions of dollars per state through the flows of money between and among Verizon's utility networks, such as Verizon New York, and Verizon's other affiliate companies, including Verizon Wireless, Verizon Online, Verizon Business and other Verizon entities.
And this is done by using different classifications for different services to manipulate the flows of money. The fiber networks are being built as Title II so that some, if not most of the construction expenses of these other affiliate companies' can be placed into the utility and charged to customers, while the company uses other 'classifications' to have most of the revenues NOT go to pay for construction but into different financial buckets -- a shell game, which we will expose in detail in the upcoming articles.
There are those who will say that, of course the networks can have different services with different classifications at the same time (i.e., a cable service is classified as "Title VI"). These 'experts' and pundits have not bothered to 'follow the money'. Moreover, many confuse the physical networks, the wiring that goes into homes, offices, and in the streets, or connect to the cell sites and hot spots -- with services that ride over these wires. Simply put: The "Internet" is not the wired network; it is a service that uses the Title II networks. However, as we uncovered, words like 'networks' and 'services' are intertwined or are substituted by Verizon and even the regulators, which confuses this situation even more.
Let me lay out why the FCC and every state commission must immediately start investigations into Verizon's deception about the use Title II and why everyone reading this should make sure that the FCC and that the media wakes up to properly investigate the facts we are about to present; it is not just about Net Neutrality but the future of communications in the US -- from the services you pay for, or whether you can even get them or not.
I've divided this tale up into multiple articles.
To read the full story, see: The Book of Broken Promises which was written to supply all of the gory details of the history of broadband in America, how we ended up in this place, and what we should do about it.
Part 1: Proving the Fiber-to-the-Premises Networks Were Constructed as Title II and Funded by Customers.
1) Verizon Charged Residential Phone Customers for the Deployment of Fiber Optics.
In 2009 we came across a decision by the New York State Public Service Commission (NYPSC) to allow Verizon New York to increase basic residential phone rates for "massive deployment of fiber optics".
According to the NYPSC, June 2009:
"'We are always concerned about the impacts on ratepayers of any rate increase, especially in times of economic stress,' said Commission Chairman Garry Brown. 'Nevertheless, there are certain increases in Verizon's costs that have to be recognized. This is especially important given the magnitude of the company's capital investment program, including its massive deployment of fiber optics in New York. We encourage Verizon to make appropriate investments in New York, and these minor rate increases will allow those investments to continue'." (Emphasis added).
As we dug further we found that this was not the first but the third increase on residential rates -- over 84% increase on basic phone rates starting in 2006, and there was 100-300% increases on other related services, such as unlisted numbers or inside wire maintenance.
Finding these increases started what has become a five-year investigation into Verizon's business practices by New Networks Institute's independent expert team, and it is continuing today as it relates directly to current telecom and Internet policy issues, including Net Neutrality.
2) Verizon NY's SEC Reports Details that the Networks are Telecommunications -- I.E., Title II, and it Includes FiOS TV.
Here is a direct excerpt from Verizon NY's SEC 4th quarter report for investors for 2010; the language is similar, if not identical to all of the other Verizon territory holdings, including NJ, PA, MA, etc. It says -- Verizon provides telecommunications services (Title II) and it includes the FTTP networks for FiOS TV.
Note: Nowhere does the SEC report discuss how Title I or Title VI applies -- as they don't; the networks are Title II.
3) Even in the Verizon Cable Franchise Agreements, the FTTP Networks are Title II.
We uncovered that in every state we examined, besides these SEC reports that details that the FIOS TV networks are based on telecommunications (Title II), Verizon also details that the FTTP, fiber-to-the-premises networks, that are used to offer cable services ("Title VI") are also based on Title II.
Verizon New Jersey's Cable franchise Agreement, 2014:
"Verizon NJ has been upgrading its telecommunications facilities in large portions of its telecommunications service territory so that cable television services may be provider over these facilities This upgrade consists of deploying fiver optic facilities directly to the subscriber premises. The construction of Verizon NJ's fiber-to-the-premises FTTP network (the FTTP network) is being performed under the authority of Title II of the Communications Act of 1934 and under the appropriate state telecommunications authority granted to Verizon N by the board and under chapters 3 and 17 of the Department of Public Utilities Act of 1948. The FTTP network uses fiber optic cable and optical electronics to directly link homes to the Verizon NJ networks... Pursuant to the NJSA 45:5A-15, telecommunication service providers currently authorized to provide service in new Jersey do not require approval to upgrade their facilities for the provision of cable television service."
4) NY State PSC Decision: The FTTP Networks are Telecommunications.
In a 2005 proceeding at the NYPSC, Verizon claimed the networks were Title II, telecommunications, and that it only needed to be classified as a cable company, 'Title VI', once the company was offering cable service. The State wrote:
"Verizon claims that its FTTP network is not a cable television system as defined under federal and state law. Rather, Verizon asserts that it is conducting a network upgrade to its existing telecommunications system for voice and broadband services...Verizon argues that it has the requisite authority to conduct this upgrade under its existing state telephone rights."
And the conclusion of NYPSC was that Verizon's FTTP networks are Title II.
This means that the FTTP networks are built first, then the cable service, which rides over these networks, and not the other way around.
5) Different 'Titles" Over the Same Wire are Used to Manipulate the Financials and Public Policies.
There are many who commented to us that the services can have different 'classifications' over the wire. For example, Verizon's cable TV service is classified as Title VI, while Verizon's Online Internet service is Title I, an information service. But, if Verizon claimed that these networks were, say, a cable TV service, (Title VI), then they couldn't be built using the telecommunications rights-of-way of the state utility nor have the construction budgets paid for by customers. In fact, the cable part of company didn't pay for the construction.
This is the summary written by the NYPSC, 2005, claiming a) Verizon is building the networks as Title II, that b) it uses the telecommunications rights of way, and b) that it isn't a 'cable service' until it 'enters head-to-head competition'. I've kept the entire quote to make this point clear.
"Second, Verizon objects to the imposition of cable franchising requirements upon its FTTP network until Verizon actually enters head-to-head competition with cable companies, because Verizon is already subject to entirely different regimes. Verizon has already obtained the legal right to use the rights-of-way to upgrade and maintain its existing telephone system. Verizon has maintained its telecommunications network for years under its existing authorizations and consents. The record here suggests that Verizon has the requisite authority from local governments to use the public rights-of-way and that municipalities have sufficient legal authority over Verizon's upgrade activities as a telephone company to properly manage their rights-of-way. Verizon has represented in its pleadings that it is subject to local oversight. Municipal governance over rights-of-way is still in effect and Verizon must adhere to those requirements. "Accordingly, to the extent the network upgrade to further Verizon's telecommunication service is consistent with pre-existing rights-of-way authorizations, and inasmuch as Verizon's activities are subject to municipal oversight and do not involve plant used exclusively for cable nor do they involve the offering of broadcast programming for hire, we do not construe Article 11 as mandating that Verizon must first obtain cable franchises to construct its FTTP network. Thus, we conclude that Verizon does not need to obtain a cable franchise at this time. However, should Verizon seek to install plant in its network that can only be used exclusively for cable or offer for hire broadcast programming, we conclude that Verizon's network would then constitute a cable television system requiring cable franchises prior to any further build-out."
To sum up:
Title II is a cash machine today; it doesn't harm investment.
Customers are the defacto investors because it is classified as Title II.
All of the other services did NOT pay for the deployment of the fiber networks, including the cable service or the Internet service.
Verizon failed to disclose these facts to the FCC, courts and the public in any comments, filings, blogs or statements. | positive |

Tate Reeves sits behind the wheel of a brand new 2022 Nissan Frontier truck that was manufactured at the Canton plant. Automobile executives and business leaders announced the truck would be made exclusively in Madison County. Nissan employees huddle together last week to celebrate the launch of the 2022 Frontier. Posted Wednesday, July 21, 2021 12:00 am By DUNCAN DENT Local dignitaries were on hand along with hundreds of Nissan employees and executives to watch the first 2022 Frontier pickup truck developed and produced at the Canton facility roll off the assembly line last week. Tim Fallon, vice president of manufacturing at the Canton plant, said the rollout would likely bring “incremental jobs” during the event last Thursday. Inclusion of new technology in the trucks, Fallon said, would likely necessitate future job openings though he was not sure how many new jobs would be or at what pace they would become available. Fallon said consumers could expect the new Frontier pickup trucks to roll onto car lots in the fall. Gov. Tate Reeves spoke at the event congratulating the workers. He said he was proud of the state and its relationship with Nissan. Reeves said Nissan decided to locate a plant in Canton 18 years ago because it was in their best interest. He noted that it was in their best interest because of the roughly 5,000 employees “that work under this roof every single day.” Reeves said the plant represents technology and manufacturing jobs that will be in the state for the next 50 years and beyond. “I am convinced they will be here another 100 years,” Reeves said. Reeves said the plant has proven they can get Nissan’s product to the market and noted that the plant can produce 400,000 vehicles a year. Since they have broke ground, Nissan has invested roughly $3.5 billion into the state, Reeves said. During the presentation, Nissan America Chairman Jeremie Papin said that bringing the Frontier line to Canton was something they had “talked about for quite some time” and that it gave the Canton plant one of the “freshest lineups in the industry.” Papin said the city of Canton has made the plant what it is today. “The success of this plant is directly linked to the city of Canton,” Papin said. Part of the success, Papin said, has been the “loyalty and passion” of the Nissan customer base. In North America alone Nissan has sold about 4 million compact and mid-sized trucks in North America since they started producing the Datsun in 1955. Canton Mayor Dr. William Truly said he remembers Nissan coming in when he was vice mayor of Canton. “I’m so proud that Nissan is here,” Truly said. “The work that it has done and the work that it is going to do.” Other items that may interest you GermanFest set for this Sunday Ridgeland marijuana petition falls short Mayor recognizes Robotics team St. Joe teacher runner-up to national award CALENDAR Tue 4 FOOD FOR THOUGHT at the Town of Livingston MadCAAP is hosting their annual fundraiser: "Food … Sat 8 2022 Tunnel to Towers 5K Run & Walk Follow the footsteps of 9/11 hero, New York City … Fri 21 18TH ANNUAL SCARECROW CRUISE AND CAR SHOW on Main … The 18th Annual Scarecrow Cruise and Car Show is … Sat 22 18TH ANNUAL SCARECROW CRUISE AND CAR SHOW on Main … The 18th Annual Scarecrow Cruise and Car Show is … Tue 8 Bonnie Raitt at Thalia Mara Hall Bonnie Raitt will return to the live stage with … Sat 24 Sun 25 Mon 26 Tue 27 Wed 28 Browse full calendar Post an event Top Stories Jackson teen arrested for Northpark shooting RIDGELAND — A Jackson teen has been arrested and charged as an adult in connection with a Northpark mall shooting over the weekend, the authorities said.

Just months after the U.S. intelligence community determined that the Russian government was behind cyberattacks during the American presidential campaign, the same thing appears to be happening in France.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault accused Russia of hacking activity in the country, calling it “unacceptable.”
“This form of interference in French democratic life is unacceptable and I denounce it,” Ayrault said in an interview that appeared Sunday in Le Journal du Dimanche.
Ayrault earlier told France’s Parliament that “after what happened in the United States, it is our responsibility to take all steps necessary to ensure that the integrity of our democratic process is fully respected.”
Aggressive election interference appears to be Russian President Vladimir Putin’s latest strategy to impose his will across borders.
Officials from the Netherlands fear that their country was the target of a fake information campaign last year to sway a vote on a referendum. A purportedly Ukrainian team helped convince the Dutch to reject a European Union trade pact with the country, The New York Times reported. But it turned out the team was actually Russian.
Dutch elections are coming up in March, and officials say hackers linked to the Kremlin have tried repeatedly to break into government websites. Votes are going to be tallied by hand to avoid possible voting-machine tampering, according to the Times. Now the Germans are also worried about what Russia might try in their upcoming elections.
Meanwhile, Norway revealed last month that hackers linked to Russia had attacked government ministry sites and the emails of the Labour Party in an operation strikingly similar to what happened in the U.S.
Ayrault argued that the Russians are targeting French presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron, a staunch supporter of the European Union — though there is no hard evidence to prove it. Macron’s campaign website and emails have been hit by hackers over the past month, reports Agence France-Presse. He has been the only candidate hit by cyberattacks. A fake news campaign linked to Russia has also been launched against him.
Macron’s rivals for the French presidency are Marine Le Pen, of the extreme-right National Front, and conservative Republican candidate Francois Fillon, who supports closer ties to the Kremlin. | positive |

As well as sending parcels, baggage and luggage to the Philippines you could attempt the following options for shipping items internationally, especially if you need to send large, bulky items like a chest of drawers or a bed: Air Freight to The Philippines You could send big bulky items to the Philippines using air freight, which usually takes one to two days. You will have to pay more as the size of your shipment increases. Plus, you will have to pay for the services of a customs agent to handle customs clearance for you and to get your items to and from the airport. Costs could, therefore, quickly mount up. If you send internationally by air freight to the Philippines your items will likely arrive at one of the major airports, such as Ninoy Aquino, Iloilo or Francisco Bangoy. Sea Freight and Container Shipping to The Philippines You could go for sea freight or container shipping to transport your possessions, such as a bed or a snooker table, to the Philippines. Although much slower, it can be less expensive than air freight, but you will still need to use the services of a customs agent and will need to sort out how to get your items to and from the ports. So, the cost could be more than expected. When using container shipping to the Philippines your items will most likely arrive by ship at one of the major sea ports, such as Manila, Cebu or General Santos.

The only difference this round is my bag arrived earlier than scheduled - which is not a problem at all. :) Kudos to the team as always.

About the Philippines The climate of the Philippines is fairly moderate throughout the year, with an average yearly temperature of 26.6°C. The islands suffer serious storms, however, usually between July and October. There are many different reasons for visiting the Philippines. You can take in its luscious landscapes and diverse wildlife, enjoy a beach holiday on its stunning white-sand beaches, enjoy pampering treatments at spas, go shopping in some of the world’s largest malls, or enjoy outdoor activities such as diving, snorkelling, kayaking, canoeing, windsurfing and golf. Among the beautiful landscapes of the Philippines are the rice terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Beaches to enjoy include White Beach in Boracay – one of the most well-known in the Philippines and rated as one of the top ten beaches in the world. Three of the ten largest shopping malls in the world are in the Philippines: SM Megamall, SM North Edsa and SM Mall of Asia, making the Philippines a shopper’s paradise. This is compounded by the fact that the Philippines is a cheap place to shop, with things like rum being even cheaper than fruit juice. Spa treatments are also excellent value, with full-body massages costing only 350 pesos (or 8 US dollars) in some places.

A 92-year-old war veteran with a passion for a Newfoundland park took a plunge for charity from 10,000 feet this weekend in Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley.
Rev. Wes Oake, a retired United Church minister, made his first skydive on Saturday, all in the name of raising money for Heritage Memorial Park in Gander, N.L.
"Couldn’t imagine it, how beautiful it is," Oake said after landing safely in a field in Waterville, N.S., where he was greeted by family and well-wishers.
Oake fought in Italy during the Second World War.
He drew inspiration for his skydive from Gander, a Newfoundland dog taken overseas by the Royal Rifles of Canada during the war.
The dog attacked Japanese invaders twice during the Battle of Hong Kong, and died after picking up a grenade and running towards the enemy. Gander was posthumously awarded the Dickin Medal, known as the "animals' Victoria Cross,” in 2000.
Oake said he knew the dog well when he worked in Gander.
"I knew the family that owned that dog and I patted that dog a good many times," Oake said. "That’s what really convinced me."
Oake was harnessed to an instructor from the Atlantic School of Skydiving before dropping from the aircraft in tandem.
The jump took place in Nova Scotia because there was no Newfoundland skydiving company that could take Oake.
Before his jump, Oake had already raised $13,000 for Heritage Memorial Park, which is undergoing a complete reconstruction.
He hopes people will donate another $90,000 — and wants a life-size statue of Gander built in honour of the dog's bravery.
As for his longevity and health, he credits it all to his faith in God.
"You can do anything, you’re never too old to do whatever you want to do," he said. | positive |
Contemplating a WhiteBlaze hiker feed in the south '07 [Archive] - WhiteBlaze WhiteBlaze > Appalachian Trail Forums > Get Togethers > Contemplating a WhiteBlaze hiker feed in the south '07 PDA View Full Version : Contemplating a WhiteBlaze hiker feed in the south '07 SGT Rock 09-18-2006, 17:29 I have been thinking about this for a couple of weeks now. I should get back in March and then there will be spring break for the kids, plus I have time off. My buddy here was a chef before he joined the Army and loves feeding people. He is the guy that did all the work to set up a 4th of July to do a cookout for the soldiers - we feed probably about 300 here. When we were doing the cooking I told him about hiker feeds and he loves the idea and also wants to do some backpacking anyway with his boys which are also about the same age as my two sons. Anyway... So he and I are both interested in doing something next March around the Smokies. I was thinking that we could drive down to Fontanna dam and set up something at the park there near the Fontanna Hilton. I want to know from people that are in that area are their any restrictions to what we can do in the park. I figure stakes, potatoes, other fixins, and maybe some adult beverages. Also looking to see if anyone is untested in helping. Sly 09-18-2006, 18:36 Sadly, no adult beverages on TVA land. I suggested an southern Whiteblaze feed at Big Creek on Troll's thread towards the end of April. Between the group campsite, regular sites and the area hostels, it should be able to handle the crowd. I also hope to be finishing the BMT about that time so it will be a personal celebration! But you're the boss, anywhere is fine by me Ewker 09-18-2006, 18:37 Put me down to help out. rickb 09-18-2006, 18:48 Also looking to see if anyone is untested in helping. Probably quite a few. But with leadership, I am sure even the untested can contribute. Skidsteer 09-18-2006, 18:53 Keep us updated on firm plans, Sgt. Rock. I'd like to help so long as the date and location is doable for me. Jack Tarlin 09-18-2006, 19:28 Rock: If the Hilton doesn't work out, maybe you can work something out with Ron Haven in Franklin. Perhaps you can co-sponsor an event at one of his motels. Last year, he put on a weekend long event in the parking lot of his Sapphire Motel in Franklin, and it was a great time. He's a Whiteblaze member; I'm sure he'd be happy to work with you on this and co-sponsor the event. Advantages to doing this in Franklin: *Easier to get to than Fontana Dam for those arriving by car. *Plenty of lodging for people who wanted to overnight. *Access to sinks and kitchen for food prep/clean-up. *Access to supermarkets, Wal-Mart, whatever. *No legal problems with what you can or cannot serve. *No complaints from anti Trail Magic people about your ruining anyone's "wilderness experience" by throwing a party on the Trail itself Let us know what happens! Mother Nature 09-18-2006, 19:32 Sgt, Count me in to help in any way I can. The only thing that would keep me from coming would be a trip to Europe to greet my son when he comes back from the big sandbox. Not sure when he finishes this tour. I make a mean homemade peppermint patty that many a thru has taken NOBO or SOBO with them. Be glad to whip up a bunch. Mother Nature bfitz 09-18-2006, 19:46 I'll show up! Farr Away 09-18-2006, 22:22 I'd be happy to help. Two of us just got back from a hike that started at Fontana Dam (AT, Lost Cove, Lakeshore Trail). Great hiking! It's not necessarily difficult to get to Fontana, but the 'Tail of the Dragon' was quite an experience! And Sly's right - there was a very prominent sign posted about no alcohol. Rain Man 09-18-2006, 22:54 ... Also looking to see if anyone is untested in helping. Shore thang! Count me in, and maybe the Missus too, depending on when it is. Rain:sunMan . SGT Rock 09-19-2006, 02:01 Sounds good ya'll. Thanks for the info about the TVA area, I sort of assumed that might be the policy. I will look into maybe doing something around the Hostel or Franklin or something like that. I'll just need to get some organizing done while I am over here so I can have most things set up in time - since I won't get home until probably around 10 March. Hammock Hanger 09-19-2006, 06:38 I think that the "feed" that Ron Haven does is on April 1, kind of an April Fool's Feed. I am planning on hiking this year so not sure where I will be when the feed takes place. If I am available I have no problem helping out. Sue/HH Gray Blazer 09-19-2006, 07:38 Sarge, I have two words for you. Second Annual Rocky Bald Hiker Feed. I had so much fun last year and I did it all by myself despite my pleas for help. I parked at Tellico Gap and lugged everything up to Rocky Bald. Plenty of tent camping, and the Thrus said it was the best thing that had happened to them so far on the trail. The elevation is about 5000 feet, the view is great, your kids would love it there. I was planning on the last week of March or the first week of April. I can adjust to your schedule. I would love it if you and your family would join me. I think if you were there it would just top off the event. Also, I made a promise in the hat thread that if TN mamages to win the SEC East, I would eat my gator hat and I know you would not want to miss that. God Bless you and your family and thank you for your service to our country. One Leg 09-19-2006, 10:27 How 'bout leaving some goodies at strategic locations, starting with Fontana.. Sorta like 'foreplay' leading up to the big event. Let's show them Maine'uhs how it's really done.... dixicritter 09-19-2006, 10:59 I'll come if y'all don't make it too difficult for me to get to it. ;) SGT Rock 09-19-2006, 11:11 Well I don't see hiking up to somewhere with everything we were planning, but it could be done - as long as it wasn't too far. But I was thinking if we did this in early March, going up to 5,000 feet would probably be a cold place for most folks. That was a couple of the reasons for doing it at the TVA site - that and because the place is already developed so it impinging on the trail experience would be like any other group cooking there impinging on the trail experience - it wouldn't because it is a picnic area. As to leaving stuff along the trail - I don't want to do that. frequency 09-19-2006, 11:17 Last mess duty was in 1986 but count me in. I am your GI Can Man. F Ewker 09-19-2006, 11:20 Cheese Factory is a good site, lots of room Lone Wolf 09-19-2006, 11:26 Well I don't see hiking up to somewhere with everything we were planning, but it could be done - as long as it wasn't too far.

As to leaving stuff along the trail - I don't want to do that. Just do it at Fontana. People don't have to drink alcohol. SGT Rock 09-19-2006, 11:35 You know, you are probably right LWolf. My luck some schmuck would get drunk and try to skateboard down the face of the damn or some such thing. Then we get all the crap for encouraging drinking and causing stupid **** that makes hikers look bad. But I wanna enjoy my American freedom to drink if I want to after 12 months of this crap. Gray Blazer 09-19-2006, 11:35 Rocky Bald is a blue-blazed area off the trail aways so people don't have to come if they don't want to. You had mentioned doing some backpacking and it's a couple of miles up from Tellico Gap. Not too hard but far enough away from civilization. Safe place to leave a car. I'm not trying to pressure you...just thought it would fit the bill being as it's not too far from Maryville. I can understand if you want to do your own thing. SGT Rock 09-19-2006, 11:41 No, actually I can be down with that Gray Blazer, but my wife wants to help on the big one, and she cannot hike. So the big one has to be somewhere she can come too. As to doing some trail magic in a remote place - I am all for it. I once went to Derrick Knob to do trail magic and not a soul showed up. Lone Wolf 09-19-2006, 11:45 How about at the NOC ? Alligator 09-19-2006, 11:45 No, actually I can be down with that Gray Blazer, but my wife wants to help on the big one, and she cannot hike. So the big one has to be somewhere she can come too.

SGT Rock 09-19-2006, 11:52 NOC is a great idea if they do not mind us grilling and stuff around there and undercutting the hikers spending money in the restaurant. Naw, it wasn't a flower shirt day Alligator. But I have quit wearing those ever since I was always looked at suspiciously by women hikers dressed like that. Is there something the women need to tell me about wearing those? Is there some secret female rule of thumb about people that wear those that I don't know about?

Is there something the women need to tell me about wearing those?

Maybe it needs rethatching:-? . SGT Rock 09-19-2006, 12:21 Well I guess that says what not to wear at the feed. And it would probably not be a good theme for Billville next year either. Gray Blazer 09-19-2006, 12:45 I always thought Max Patch would be a great place. The top of Snowbird/Wildcat top would be a great place you can drive up to if you don't mind the FAA tower. It has a great view of the Smokies. The problem with Snowbird is that the hikers just left Standing Bear or Mnt. Momma's and aren't particularly hungry as they would be if you met them in the middle of nowhere. By that time they are getting spread out, too. That's why I like Tellico Gap and Rocky Bald. You'll see a lot of Thrus and they haven't been to town that morning. Yeah, it was cold last year (look at my pic gallery) But that was one of the most fun parts. The hikers loved the coffee and the ham and eggs. I already have the thermal bags to keep them from freezing. SGT Rock 09-19-2006, 12:53 It has been a few years since I have hiked to Rock Bald. I don't remember there being much room at the top there. Of course I didn't stay long as a thunderstorm was moving in just about as soon as I got up there. Ewker 09-19-2006, 12:56 We did a hiker feed on Max Patch 2 yrs ago. It was great. A short walk up from the road. We grilled out for lunch, dinner and breakfast. Thank goodness we had great weather. max patch 09-19-2006, 13:09 I'm sure the anything goes crowd will blast me, but having an organized feed on top of Max Patch is a horrible idea. Keeping it on the road would be ok. Ewker 09-19-2006, 13:39 I'm sure the anything goes crowd will blast me, but having an organized feed on top of Max Patch is a horrible idea. Keeping it on the road would be ok. we had no problems and cleaned everything up. You couldn't even tell we had been there. Gray Blazer 09-19-2006, 13:52 [quote=max patch]I'm sure the anything goes crowd will blast me, but having an organized feed on top of Max Patch is a horrible idea. Keeping it on the road would be ok.[/quote Yeah, of course. Anyway, I'll be on Rocky Bald (someone said it was Copper Ridge Bald) for the 2nd Annual Rocky Bald Hiker Feed. It's about 2 miles south of Tellico with plenty of tent camping and trees for hammocks. Bring your instruments so we can jam. max patch 09-19-2006, 15:20 we had no problems and cleaned everything up. You couldn't even tell we had been there. I'm sure you did. But that wasn't the point. Ewker 09-19-2006, 15:47 [quote=Gray Blazer Yeah, of course.

Bring your instruments so we can jam.[/quote] when is this? Gray Blazer 09-19-2006, 19:27 when is this? I'm looking at the last week in March or the first week in April. I haven't made up my mind yet. When is Easter? Jack Tarlin 09-19-2006, 19:32 I tend to agree with Max on this one....the summit of Max Patch is not the best place for a party. People should be able to enjoy places like this in relative serenity, and this won't happen if there's a feed going on up top. And for all sorts of reasons (legal, etc.) if you're planning on serving or enjoying alcohol, it's best to do this off the Trail, and on private property. Gray Blazer 09-19-2006, 19:36 The parking lot of Max Patch would be good I think or maybe the gap south of MP. Jack Tarlin 09-19-2006, 19:42 Parking lots are fine, tho once again, people need to be aware of local rules and regulations regarding open fires, alcohol, etc. However, unless you're in a place specifically designed for the purpose (like the picnic tables and grills at Bear Mountain in New York), I tend to think that large-scale Trail magic or hiker feeds work better when they're not directly on the Trail. Gray Blazer 09-19-2006, 23:09 The size of the hiker feed can depend on a lot of things. When I joined this site over a year ago I personally thought there would be a lot of interest if I started a hiker feed. Now, I got that idea from reading all the threads and posts about hiker feeds and trail magic here on WB. I started a few threads about it and was amazed that, except for a couple of people who gave me encouragment, nobody really gave a crap. I went ahead and did it anyway and had the best time of my life. I met 30 or so thrus and as you can see from their big smiles, they really enjoyed and appreciated it. I made sure to leave no trace. To tell the real truth, I felt that there were a bunch of hippocrates on WB. That's certainly not true, but, I can't help it, that's how I felt. Sarge, I didn't intend to take over your thread. I have mentioned the Rocky Bald Hiker Feed several times and except for Ewker, noone seems to care. It seems to me it depends on who is trying to start the event. Sarge mentions that he is trying to start one yesterday and already there are 3 pages about it. There's one already in progress and noone could give a crap. Maybe I'll try to get the Swedish Bikini Packpacking Team to be there. Gray Blazer 09-19-2006, 23:11 Whoops, maybe there's only 2 pages so far.:o Gray Blazer 09-19-2006, 23:11 There, now there's 3 pages. SGT Rock 09-19-2006, 23:52 Face it, I am better looking ;) dixicritter 09-19-2006, 23:53 Gray Blazer, I'm sorry you feel like this, but it was explained to you that I was wanting to also attend this feed and can not hike out to where you are planning to have yours. Just so you know it is not that I don't want to, I'm physically unable to do so due to medical issues that I'd really rather not spell out on this thread. So to be able to attend the event it has to be in a location I can get to that hikers are going to be at also. Not an easy feat I'm seeing. At least for what SGT Rock was hoping for it seems. Although personally, I'd just as soon leave off the adult beverages at the feed for our safety sake I think. bfitz 09-20-2006, 00:24 Gray Blazer...this event being sort of an "official" Whiteblaze event might have something to do with the attention it's gotten from folks more than your mention of a get together on another thread....truth be told, I never noticed it...but if you get the Swedish Bikini Packpacking Team to be there, that could definitely change things for me. How about Beauty Spot? Too far north? Lone Wolf 09-20-2006, 05:10 The size of the hiker feed can depend on a lot of things.

How about Beauty Spot? Too far north? Beauty Spot is one of my favorite places. I always thought that it would be a great place for a camping family reunion. Sarge, you are a celebrity, as well as a founder of this site, and not to mention a gear expert and I'm just a scrub. Dixiecritter, don't put up with my self-deprecating BS. You are one of the 3 people who gave me encouragement:sun . I have this character flaw of when I say I'm going to do something, I do it. I was just surprised that hardly noone at this site cared. At the time it sounded like something everyone does all the time. Sarge, good luck to you with your hiker feed. I won't be able to make it because as I said since I have announced the other one, I'll be doing it and it is hard for me to get up to NC 2 times in one month. SGT Rock 09-20-2006, 11:07 Well Gray Blazer I'm flattered and all, but you do have a couple of things wrong. I didn't start the site. Another hiker did and he had personal issues that kept him from keeping it running right. Troll and I just took over to keep a site going we thought was usefull. I may have a lot of posts, but I'm a scrub too - hiker trash LOL. As to your feed I am glad you invited me and I am sincerly interested in helping. I would have for your last one two if I wasn't in Iraq already starting 25 Feb. I suppose the reason I didn't respond the first time you posted about it was I didn't have a regular connection then or I would have said something about counting me in. Of ourse I would like to bring my boys to help. Another thought - wasn't there a spot at Tellico Gap away from the trail where someone was running a friendly or a hostel or something a while back? What about there? Gray Blazer 09-20-2006, 11:15 Yeah, I read one of Lone Wolf's post about that hostel. Maybe LW would know. If I remember correctly, I think the hostel was closed. BTW, do you ever sleep? It seems like you post day and night. My feelings about trail feeds is I want it to be in a remote place that is a distance from town. That way it's a surprise and it takes a litle more effort than driving and parking an RVEE at a mountain road, although there's nothing wrong with that. Besides, I love to camp anywhere slightly remote on the AT. Gray Blazer 09-20-2006, 11:16 Face it, I am better looking ;) Yeah, I'm just an old fat guy.:D dixicritter 09-20-2006, 11:21 Dixiecritter, don't put up with my self-deprecating BS. You are one of the 3 people who gave me encouragement:sun . Gray Blazer, don't worry about it. And I won't ;) :D Gray Blazer 09-20-2006, 11:32 I know dixiecritter won't let me and Sarge get together because we'll be looking for that XXX shelter. SGT Rock 09-20-2006, 12:02 BTW, do you ever sleep? It seems like you post day and night. Yes I do. But in Iraq I am 8 hours off from you guys. So I wake up at about 2300 Eastern time, leave for patrol at 2400 your time, get back at about 0800 your time, do some work on admin stuff until about 1000 your time, and then I work on more stuff around here until about 1600 your time when I go to bed. So often I am off the net when it is afternoon your time or when I am on patrol, so you wouldn't notice. Not every day is exactly the same, but that gives you an idea of why my posts are at odd times. ARambler 09-20-2006, 12:58 It's not that no one cares but hiker feeds are a dime a dozen. Nothing special anymore. Well, Lone Wolf is now officially old, and we'll be bored by "in my day we didn't need any stink-in water bar" posts. Hiker feeds are not for those who want to compare them to the 90's. Hiker feeds are for the current thru hikers and to some extent the hosts. No hiker is going to hit a dozen hiker feeds. Hosts should not worry if their feed is too remote, too urban, too far north, etc. In fact, the more diversity the better. I know as recently as 2005, I and a lot of other hikers enjoyed all the trail magic we received. In the south, there was somewhat permanent trail magic near Mooney Gap, south of Albert Mt. Overmountain Shelter had a hiker feed with a keg. (I think this was pretty far to haul it.) I prefer trail magic in the middle of nowhere. Franklin is so fantastic normally, that a free hamburger would not make it that much better. I like the idea of a March date pretty far south. Hitting the most people when the weather could be iffy, could have the biggest impact and keep you busiest. You might want to consider a road where you could offer hikers transportation to town or a campground. I'm thinking of something like the Deep Gap just south of Standing Indian, just south of Wallace Gap, Tellico Gap (The hostel was not run by the owner, who shut it very early in the 2004 season.), or even Gooch Gap on USFS Road 42. If you set up in the middle of nowhere (not so easy down south) and stay in town, you might consider taking digital pictures and emailing them to loved ones at night. I met a lady doing this in VA, and my mother thought it was the coolest trail magic. Rambler Alligator 09-20-2006, 13:02 If you haven't decided for sure on the location Rock and are looking for suggestions, in what range (say miles north of Springer) are you considering? SGT Rock 09-20-2006, 13:06 The range is more like 3 hours from my house. That makes NOC up to about Hot Springs Jack Tarlin 09-20-2006, 13:12 Hostel near Tellico is definitely closed and property is of-limits to hikers. MOWGLI 09-20-2006, 13:14 Overmountain Shelter had a hiker feed with a keg. (I think this was pretty far to haul it.) Great! Just what the AT needs! (NOT!) :mad: Lone Wolf 09-20-2006, 13:16 There's a road 100yards or so from Overmountain shelter. It's hardly remote. SGT Rock 09-20-2006, 13:18 Well I think the road is blocked about a half mile back - at least it was when I drove up there. But I get the point. Alligator 09-20-2006, 13:20 Well I think the road is blocked about a half mile back - at least it was when I drove up there. But I get the point.So you think some kind of cart would be necessary for the keg...:-? J/K:) . bfitz 09-20-2006, 17:01 There's a road 100yards or so from Overmountain shelter. It's hardly remote. Yep. Perfect place!!! Lone Wolf 09-20-2006, 19:13 Great place for alcohol, tobacco and firearms. Who's bringin the chips?:D Skidsteer 09-20-2006, 19:37 Great place for alcohol, tobacco and firearms. Who's bringin the chips?:D I'm pretty sure Alligator plays poker. ;) Alligator 09-20-2006, 19:50 I'm pretty sure Alligator plays poker. ;)I don't have the nice chips yet, though I keep asking Santa. dixicritter 09-20-2006, 20:54 I'm beginning to wonder at my sanity for wanting to be in the woods with you guys. ;) quietly 09-20-2006, 23:07 Just do it at Fontana. People don't have to drink alcohol. I'm with Mr. Wolf on this, adult beverages are a minor concern. Just do it at Fontana. I was Farr Away's hiking partner this last weekend and I agree that this area is a great place for a feed, the location options are numerous. Just a half mile puts you over the dam and onto the AT in the GSMNP, easy enough access to accomodate the trail angels. Lugnut 09-21-2006, 00:29 There's a road 100yards or so from Overmountain shelter. It's hardly remote. When I stayed at Overmountain two local guys carried a cooler full of beer up from the gravel road. It was Canadian Molson but I drank a couple anyway! Just like most things, beer's better in the woods, especially if it's free and someone else carried it. :D Sly 09-21-2006, 00:42 OK, I get it (I think) this is supposed to be a Whiteblaze sponsored AT hiker feed on the trail that hikers can easily access, not just a Whiteblaze feed. SGT Rock 09-21-2006, 02:13 OK, after thinking about it I really still like the Fontanna location because of the accouterments it has there for what I want to do and the accessability. Add to that I really only wanted my right to drink - which I can do later, I think Fontanna will be the location selected for this and the policy will be no alcohol. I figure if anyone coming from out of town wants to stick around that night and leave out the next day that will be the only issue left to figure out. I don't want a bunch of car campers hogging shelter space at the hilton. Isn't there a campground at the bottom of the damn? Sly 09-21-2006, 02:28 Sounds good, I'll just get a room at Fontana Village. What's the date? SGT Rock 09-21-2006, 02:36 Sounds good, I'll just get a room at Fontana Village. What's the date? Well Sly I am going to shoot for March 16th or 17th - that would make it a Friday during spring break for the kids in Tennessee. So my kids can come and so can Ranger (my buddy here in Iraq) and it would make it easier for the folks that work too. BUT, Ranger and I are also at the mercy of what happens in this war. We could be later than expected (not likely, but possible) so I don't want to set anything firm until closer to time and we have a RIP/TOA schedule set. Skidsteer 09-21-2006, 06:01 Hmmm...St. Patrick's day. Cloud nine in Hiawassee is hosting a hiker thing on the 17th as well.

I don't want a bunch of car campers hogging shelter space at the hilton. Isn't there a campground at the bottom of the damn? A few years ago myself and some others were denied "magic" there cuz we weren't "thru-hikers", just lowly sectioners. Will you deny me magic if I show up Rock?:D Gray Blazer 09-21-2006, 07:24 A few years ago myself and some others were denied "magic" there cuz we weren't "thru-hikers", just lowly sectioners. Will you deny me magic if I show up Rock?:D Like I told you last year, LW, I won't deny you. I even had a piece of bread I was going to sell you (got that idea from your post about asking to buy a piece of bread from campers). I was waiting for you, but I think you got off the trail in Franklin. Lone Wolf 09-21-2006, 07:32 Like I told you last year, LW, I won't deny you. I even had a piece of bread I was going to sell you (got that idea from your post about asking to buy a piece of bread from campers). I was waiting for you, but I think you got off the trail in Franklin. Actually I've been politely refusing any trail magic when I'm out there but if I showed up at yours I'll break my rule. When are you doing your gig in 07? D'Artagnan 09-21-2006, 08:19 Isn't there a campground at the bottom of the damn? Bottom of the "damn" what? The damn dam? Sorry, just yankin' your chain. :D sherrill 09-21-2006, 09:46 If you set up at the bottom of the dam, Harrison Ford might wash up and be in need of some grub. Of course, Tommy Lee and the crew will be above the spillway but might come down for a drink or two. :D Sly 09-21-2006, 10:18 OK. I wouldn't worry too much about scheduling the same time as time as Hiawassee but bear in mind, on average AT hikers take about 2-3 weeks to get Fontana. And Gray Blazers feed is when? dixicritter 09-21-2006, 10:54 I'm looking at the last week in March or the first week in April. I haven't made up my mind yet. When is Easter? This is what Gray Blazer said earlier in the thread guys. And FYI Easter is April 8th. Gray Blazer 09-21-2006, 11:02 Actually I've been politely refusing any trail magic when I'm out there but if I showed up at yours I'll break my rule. When are you doing your gig in 07? I'm looking at Mar 30 right now. I'll have to drive up after work on Friday, March 29 and I won't get up there till early Sat morning which means I won't really get going feeding until Sat afternoon. Ham and eggs and hot chocolate and coffee. I'll probably be serving sat-mon. I'll probably have 2 of my grandsons with me this year. Gray Blazer 09-21-2006, 11:07 OK, I get it (I think) this is supposed to be a Whiteblaze sponsored AT hiker feed on the trail that hikers can easily access, not just a Whiteblaze feed. The 2nd annual Rocky Bald Hiker Feed is a WhiteBlaze sponsored thru-hiker feed, but, noone will be denied. It is looking like it will start Sat. afternoon Mar 30 and go thru Mon afternoon.:welcome Sly 09-21-2006, 11:51 What am I thinking. I'm supposed to be on the BMT next spring. That trail doesn't go near Rocky Bald and I doubt I'll be near Fontana by then. Maybe we'll have to call for a rescue team. Lone Wolf 09-21-2006, 11:53 Yeah and I'm supposed to be with you guys. SGT Rock 09-21-2006, 14:42 You know me Wolf, I don't care if you just hiked starting that day or on the last leg of the ultimate thru-hike yo-yo or whatever. Hell, who at Fontanna even knows if they are going to make it? For all they know at that point they could be bailing in a week or two anyway LOL. It's all good. tiamalle 09-21-2006, 20:48 Rock: If the Hilton doesn't work out, maybe you can work something out with Ron Haven in Franklin. Perhaps you can co-sponsor an event at one of his motels. Last year, he put on a weekend long event in the parking lot of his Sapphire Motel in Franklin, and it was a great time. He's a Whiteblaze member; I'm sure he'd be happy to work with you on this and co-sponsor the event. Advantages to doing this in Franklin: *Easier to get to than Fontana Dam for those arriving by car. *Plenty of lodging for people who wanted to overnight. *Access to sinks and kitchen for food prep/clean-up. *Access to supermarkets, Wal-Mart, whatever. *No legal problems with what you can or cannot serve. *No complaints from anti Trail Magic people about your ruining anyone's "wilderness experience" by throwing a party on the Trail itself Let us know what happens!Thanks Jack,And if that is an idea you would like to persue.I just bought a bigger bus,got it painted and lettered. I haul hikers in and out of Franklin to Wallace,Winding Stair.Rock Gaps and Standing Indian 3 times daily, every morning.Sapphire Inn has a large parking lot http://sapphireinn.net click on this web site and you can see it. We are going to be hosting the Apr 1st weekend Hiker Fool Bash each year on the first weekend of April.This will be our 3rd official annual bash in 2007. This past 2006 bash we had almost 800 attend in which most were hikers. Some town fathers and the police stopped by to greet the hikers and were offering their support of the event.Any way we could help hikers we will.If Whiteblaze could join in,all of you are perfectly welcome,or we will help if you decide to have it near here and need our help just let us know.Also http://www.appalachiantrailservices.com/index.php?env=-inlink/index:m277-1-1-1-s&reset=1 this link will give detail of the 2007 bash Lone Wolf 09-21-2006, 20:55 I was at last years bash at the Sapphire.

Thanks! We'll be sure to mark it down. :) Krewzer 09-22-2006, 00:08 Hey Y'all, got in late on this thread but it all sounds good to me. Fontana is a great spot in early spring, especially March. Not many tourists around there this time of year. There's power (if you look for it), water, bathhouse, restrooms, BBQ grills, pic nic tables, a black top road and lots of thru-hikers scattered about. Rabbit and I, along with our wives, have been doing an Easter weekend feed there for the last four years. Sounds like a date may be locked in already, but if Easter sounds good to you guys, we'll bring the colored eggs and chocolate bunnies. tiamalle 09-22-2006, 00:27 Ron, I ain't no legend.

It was Canadian Molson but I drank a couple anyway!

I'm not sure how many people would come to Rocky Bald Hiker Feed (helpers, that is) . Last year I was the only one (I dropped by your Inn and met Frosty, but, you were out for the day, sorry I missed you). I believe you could park at least 7 cars w/o jamming them in there. Like I said I don't know how many people would come to this event. We had a FL gathering 2 months ago and 3 people came. If this event got bigger, I would want to change to a more accomodating venue.

Mayor de Blasio's office released their third Vision Zero report yesterday, and there is good news—overall traffic fatalities have decreased an unprecedented 23 percent since the program was launched in 2013, bucking a 14 percent nationwide increase in the same period. The bad news is, though there were slightly fewer traffic deaths in 2016 than in the year prior, there were slightly more pedestrian and cyclist deaths.
According to the report, there were 230 overall traffic fatalities in 2016, down from 234 the year prior. And in 2013, before de Blasio launched his Vision Zero campaign, there were 299 overall traffic fatalities. Still, 145 pedestrians died in 2016, as opposed to 139 in 2015; and there were 18 cyclist deaths last year, up from 14 in 2015.
The city says its efforts to increase traffic law enforcement, redesign streets to make them safer, install bike lanes and bring city agencies together to tackle traffic safety issues has helped mitigate traffic deaths. According to the report, the city issued 42,385 tickets to drivers who failed to yield to pedestrians last year, a 243 percent uptick over the five year average pre-Vision Zero. The city says the NYPD also issued over 1,900 summonses and arrested 39 drivers who struck pedestrians or cyclists in violation of the Right of Way law.
Still, the mayor says that while the decrease in overall deaths is encouraging, the administration has work to do. “Despite our record success in saving lives these last three years, we know that Vision Zero is just starting,” de Blasio said in a statement. “Even with all of our work and after the safest year in history, someone was lost in a traffic crash on average once every day and a half, still far too frequent.”
Indeed, there were 10 traffic deaths in the first 10 days of 2017, and as of January 31st, there were 13 pedestrian deaths, 4 motorist deaths, and 1 bicycle death this year. The mayor has pledged an extra $400 million to the Vision Zero program in his 2017 budget, though some City Council Members and transportation advocates say the city still needs better traffic law enforcement in order to combat pedestrian and cyclist fatalities.
Julia Kite, Policy and Research Manager with transit advocate group Transportation Alternatives, told Gothamist in a statement that though the group is glad Vision Zero is netting positive results, it's not quite enough:
We're pleased to see DOT making so much progress on the expansion of protected bike lanes and crossing signals that give pedestrians a head start, straightforward interventions that have been proven to prevent traffic deaths and serious injuries. Their left-turn initiative is a data-driven approach to target a problem that's actually killing and injuring pedestrians, and it involves interventions that are quick and relatively inexpensive to implement. However, the budget increase the Mayor unveiled recently can only have a significant impact for Vision Zero if projects are scaled up and the focus is on 'priority locations' the DOT has identified. It's encouraging to see so many of these dangerous corridors and intersections received treatments in 2016, but there are still a lot of them waiting for significant interventions.
A source with City Hall tells us fatalities are down by 4 compared with this time last year, with 1 fewer pedestrian fatality and the same number of cyclist deaths. Raul A. Contreras, Spokesperson for the Mayor’s Office, told us in a statement: "As the Mayor has said, there is still a lot of work to be done to buck the trend in traffic fatalities. However, with the help of DOT and NYPD, we have been able to reach record lows in traffic fatalities in the past 3 years. We're confident that we're going to build on this progress in the coming year." | positive |

Cyber Threats And US Cyber Security
Russian hackers need only 19 minutes after breaking into a computer to wreak greater destruction and data theft, according to a recent CrowdStrike report. The Kremlin beat out North Korean and Chinese hacker groups who needed two and four hours respectively to go from breaching one computer to another. Cyber threats from Russia are sophisticated and aggressive, according to earlier findings and many experts. As a results Russian saboteurs have moved beyond network intrusion into data manipulation and taking down power systems.

10 Years Since Operation Cast Lead
Last month marked the 10 year anniversary of Israel’s illegal massive deadly attack on the Palestinian people living in the open air prison of the Gaza Strip along the Mediterranean sea in the south of Israel-Palestine.
The attack was carried out with the political and military support of the George W. Bush regime during its final few days. Some 1200 Palestinians were killed including 500 children. This has been documented in the United Nation’s sponsored Goldstone Report.
Israel’s continuing illegal settlement of Palestinian land and it’s dispossession of Palestinian people is made possible by American political, military, and economic support. But this support is coming under increasing challenge with Israel’s violation of human rights and of international law being more widely exposed and discussed.

Audio: Corey Jones Follows The Force To The Denver Art Musuem
The Han Solo and Chewbacca costumes from 1983's "Return of the Jedi" on display at the Denver Art Museum. (Corey H. Jones/CPR News) Where does the Star Wars galaxy fit inside the art world?
That’s a question to ponder when you navigate the lightsaber battles and Galactic Senate meetings in a new exhibition called “Star Wars and the Power of Costume” at the Denver Art Museum.
There are more than 70 original Star Wars costumes on display now through early April. These are costumes that actors wore while portraying characters like Darth Vader, Padmé Amidala, and Han Solo beside his trusty co-pilot Chewbacca -- a character inspired by creator George Lucas’ dog, by the way.
“We really tried to extend our footprint, to extend the notion of what an art museum can do,” Denver Art Museum director Christoph Heinrich says. The Darth Vader costume from 1983's "Return of the Jedi" movie on display at the Denver Art Museum. (Corey H. Jones/CPR News)
The museum staff thought long and hard about whether to host a Star Wars show. It’s expensive, although Heinrich won’t give an exact cost. But there’s no denying the cultural phenomenon’s wide appeal, and Heinrich hopes that will attract lots of visitors.
“We want of course to have the broadest audience possible, we want to be really accessible,” he says. “But that does not mean we’re dumbing down things.”
This exhibition, which is curated with the help of the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, is more than just costumes. It explores the creative process behind bringing Star Wars characters to life. The pieces all come from the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in California.
“It’s important for people to see the costumes to see the tip of the iceberg,” concept artist Iain McCaig says amidst some of his early sketches and storyboards. “And the reason I like rooms like this is they get to see underneath for the rest of the iceberg.”
McCaig first jumped on board with “Episode I: The Phantom Menace” in 1999. You can see some of his early drawings in different galleries at the Denver Art Museum. This is how he helped design many Star Wars characters like Darth Maul: By first putting pencil to paper.

(Corey H. Jones/CPR News)
“It’s really important to know that costume comes from character, character comes from story,” McCaig says.
That story comes from the mind of George Lucas, whose team realizes the ideas. Once he approves the concepts, the costume designers take over. This exhibition also has raw materials and test fabrics. In fact there’s a couple hundred of these ancillary items from the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, many of which have been boxed up for years.
“We’ve been doing Star Wars exhibitions for about 25 years,” Laela French, director of archives at the Lucas Museum, says. “This is our first costume exhibition.” The concept art for droid characters C-3PO and R2-D2 that appeared in the first Star Wars film, 1977's "A New Hope."

Other exhibitions have explored topics like mythology and the fake science of Star Wars. They typically appeal to science or interactive museums. But art museums? Not so much. So this costume design show is kind of an experiment.
“There’s still that 19th century philosophy kicking around about the fine arts and the elitism, and pop culture is having a hard time finding its way into those doors,” French says. “Let’s embrace that pop culture can be fine art.”
This isn’t the first time a traditional arts institution has embraced pop culture icons. New York’s Museum of Modern Art hosted a retrospective of filmmaker Tim Burton’s work in 2009. A traveling show on musician David Bowie ran at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago two years ago. And next year, the Colorado Symphony will perform a concert inspired by the video game Pokemon.
Denver Art Museum director Christoph Heinrich says the Star Wars show has parallels to others the museum has done. That includes “Shock Wave,” a look at Japanese Fashion that’s on display now. He also points “Becoming Van Gogh” in 2013, which highlighted the painter’s creative process.
Aiesha Morris of Aurora remembers when the first Star Wars movie came out in 1977.
“When I saw it at 10, we never saw anything like that,” she says.
Now Morris’ son -- who has seen most of the films -- is 10. She says it’s important for her kids to see how many people pitched in to make the Star Wars series.
“As a mom, I think about all those different things to encourage their creativity and imagination,” Morris says. | positive |

The Federal District Court in Maryland this week dismissed Du Daobin v. Cisco Systems, a case brought by Chinese dissidents alleging that Cisco knowingly customized, marketed, sold, and provided continued support and service for technologies as part of China's Golden Shield, a digital censorship and surveillance system used by the Chinese government to facilitate human rights abuses. EFF filed an amicus brief urging the court to let the case go forward and we also launched an activism campaign calling on Cisco to stand up for writer Du Daobin and human rights in China. We’re deeply disappointed by the court’s decision to dismiss the case.
While a tech company could not (and should not) be held accountable when governments misuse general use products for nefarious purposes, early evidence indicates that Cisco did much more. This included actively customizing, marketing and providing support for its monitoring and censorship technologies even as it knew that they would be used to identify, locate, and surveil Chinese democracy and religious freedom activists. The complaint also alleged that Cisco knew (as the State Department reports confirm) of China’s practice of unlawful detention, torture, and even killing of these activists. In EFF’s amicus brief, we argued that this initial evidence should be sufficient to allow the case to move forward.
The court decision was based mainly on issues not addressed by EFF in our amicus brief. Many of the issues we are most concerned with—namely, whether and how tech companies can be held to account for facilitating human rights violations—remain unresolved.
Are Corporations Really “People” Under the Law?
There have been a number of Supreme Court rulings that found corporations have similar Constitutional rights and protections as people. In particular, Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, decided in 2010, reaffirmed the First Amendment protections for corporations, associations, and labor unions.
But even as corporations are treated as "people" under the law in many ways, companies are often not being held to account for their actions the way a person would be. We saw a striking example of this when the Supreme Court let Chevron off the hook for its role in killing peaceful protesters in Nigeria under the Torture Victim Protection Act.
Largely Sidestepping the Issues of Corporate Accountability
In the Du v. Cisco case, the Federal District Court in Maryland largely side-stepped the specific issue of when corporations can be held to account for building special technologies that are customized for repressive governments for the explicit purpose of tracking activists who then face human rights abuses like torture. The court's rulings on other legal arguments, however, are troubling for those would like to see basic accountability for those building the tools of repression.
The court first ruled that that the question of Cisco's involvement in human rights abuses in China was a "political question" that should not be addressed by the courts and pointed to the fact that the export laws and regulations allowed Cisco to export these technologies as somehow precluding a court from providing a remedy to those who are harmed by them. This is incorrect—nothing about the claims raised by the plaintiffs challenged the export decisions made by the executive branch or the export laws passed by the legislature.
Next, the court ruled that the "act of state" doctrine forbid it from ruling on whether China had abused the human rights of the plaintiffs. This doctrine states that, in general, one country should not sit judgment on another government’s official acts within its own territory. But "act of state" doctrine only applies to public, official policies of another country. Since the Chinese government has repeatedly denied that human rights abuses like the detention and torture that the plaintiffs suffered here are its official policies, the court was wrong to dismiss this case under "act of state" doctrine.
Overall, the court’s decision fails to take into account that the U.S. government on all levels, and especially the State Department, has openly and repeatedly criticized China for the very abuses at issue in this case. Moreover, neither the U.S. nor the Chinese government objected to the case going forward, something that usually happens when a case has actual political or foreign policy implications. For example, the most recent State Department report on human rights in China discusses the abuse and detainment of political prisoners like the plaintiffs:
Numerous former prisoners and detainees reported that they were beaten, subjected to electric shock, forced to sit on stools for hours on end, deprived of sleep, and otherwise subjected to physical and psychological abuse. Although ordinary prisoners were subjects of abuse, political and religious dissidents were singled out for particularly harsh treatment.
With regard to Internet surveillance and censorship, the same report stated that,
The CCP continued to increase efforts to monitor Internet use, control content, restrict information, block access to foreign and domestic Web sites, encourage self-censorship, and punish those who ran afoul of political sensitivities.
The report also noted that “Official monitoring focused on such tools as social networking, microblogging, and video-sharing sites.”
Cisco’s Assistance to China
The court also determined that the plaintiffs had not sufficiently alleged that Cisco created the Golden Shield technologies with the purpose of facilitating the abuses and gave "practical assistance" to the officials in those abuses. The court said, "the technology Cisco has allegedly customized and sold to China to assist them with these purported human rights violations is inherently neutral technology that can clearly be used in a variety of non-offensive ways."
On this point, EFF strongly disagrees and it seems that the court is willfully ignoring the allegations of the complaint. The complaint alleges both Cisco’s role in creating technology and providing assistance in ways sufficient to support the case proceeding to the discovery phase, where the extent of Cisco's knowledge and assistance could have been determined. For example, in one of the documents submitted as evidence, a marketing presentation created by Cisco to describe the benefits of its technology to the Chinese government noted that one of the goals was to "Combat Falun Gong evil religion and other hostilities." It is difficult to imagine a more direct acknowledgement and promotion of the use of a product for repression.
The Role of Tech in Upholding Human Rights
Technologies are being created and customized with the explicit purpose of helping repressive regimes track down, detain, torture and murder people. It’s time for Western companies and American officials to stop pretending this isn’t true.
Earlier this month, John Kerry met with a group of Chinese bloggers who urged him to speak out against Internet monitoring and censorship in China. According to the New York Times, Mr. Kerry, "said he had not heard the charges that American companies had helped the Chinese authorities maintain control over Internet access, but promised to look into the matter."
The protestations of ignorance from American officials and corporations like Cisco ring false to us. But we're happy to provide information to the Secretary of State should he need it.
It’s time for companies and the government to acknowledge how technology is being customized for the abuse of human rights. Let’s stop ignoring the problems and work on policies to prevent and reverse this dangerous trend.
To that end, EFF has developed "Know Your Customer" standards that can help companies avoid participating in human rights abuses.
We don’t need to wait for the courts to get this right; forward-thinking companies can adopt these standards right away, and users of technology everywhere can call on companies with which they do business to adhere to these standards of respecting human rights. | positive |
SEATTLE -- A Seattle medic unit out on an emergency call wound up being the focus of a different emergency.
A thief hopped in Monday morning and took off as medics rushed to treat a patient. Police quickly found the medic unit, police said. The drawers were pulled open.
Medics had just arrived at Preston Thomas' home after a guest had a sudden emergency, he said.
"She came down and she had a cup half full of blood, and saying that she needs help," Thomas said.
The firefighter paramedics who arrived at Thomas' home parked the medic unit and rushed inside. The engine was still idling.
Police said a thief used the opportunity to jump into the driver seat and took off.
"That is entirely a despicable situation," Thomas said. "That's unacceptable to me."
"And there was a fire truck parked here in front of the house," said John Jenkins, a registered nurse who lives next door and saw the medical call.
Jenkins said whoever stole the rig was beyond reckless.
"The risk is death of the patient they are trying to transport," said Jenkins.
Medic One units are outfitted with GPS. Officers tracked it down within a few minutes after it was stolen. The suspect was gone, but officers discovered three drawers that contained medicine appeared to have been opened, police said.
"That person needs help, if you got to go that low to steal just for a high," Thomas said.
"These people are so self-centered that they can only think of themselves. The drugs change their behavior," said Jenkins.
Medic units don't typically carry a large amount of drugs, officials said. Usually a device locks the transmission, which makes it impossible for anyone but medics to drive off in it, they added. | positive |
For the first time since its inception, a bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act has successfully passed the House and the Senate, and is on its way to the president’s desk, where it will obviously be vetoed.Nevertheless, within the hour, The Briefing , the opposition research arm of the Hillary Clinton campaign, released a 30-second web ad highlighting the potentially catastrophic results that could come from repealing the act.The spot claims that if Republicans were able to successfully defund Obamacare, “18 million Americans could lose health coverage,” and “we could go back to denying coverage over pre-existing conditions.”While Republicans in Congress do not have the votes to override a presidential veto, the fact that the bill made it all the way to the president’s desk marks a significant symbolical victory for lawmakers who have been trying to scrap the law since 2010. | positive |

Mayor Bill de Blasio called President Donald J. Trump's executive order calling for jurisdictions that protect undocumented immigrants to lose federal funding "vague" and said the city will sue if the government tries to enforce it. View Full Caption DNAinfo/Jeff Mays
CITY HALL — Mayor Bill de Blasio said Wednesday the city will sue the federal government if it tries to enforce President Donald Trump's executive order calling for sanctuary cities to lose federal funding.
"We're going to defend all of our people, regardless of where they come from and regardless of their documentation status," de Blasio said at a City Hall press conference about Trump's executive order calling for sanctuary cities to lose federal funding.

Sanctuary cities are jurisdictions where cooperation with federal immigration authorities is limited. In New York City, undocumented immigrants are also allowed access to some social services without having to reveal their status. Some estimate there are 300 or more sanctuary jurisdictions in the country.
The city does have a list of 170 crimes and offenses for which it will cooperate with federal deportation authorities.
"We already remove the worst criminals from New York," said NYPD Commissioner James O'Neill.
Trump, in a visit Wednesday to the Department of Homeland Security in Washington, D.C., referenced families who were the victims of crimes by undocumented immigrants.
"We are going to restore the rule of law in the United States," Trump said.
De Blasio said New York City would be made less safe if it removed its sanctuary city policy because undocumented immigrants would not cooperate with the police.
The loss of federal funding, which pays for things such as anti-terrorism efforts, would also leave the city more vulnerable, the mayor said.
"This executive order could in fact undermine public safety," said de Blasio.
The mayor says he talked about the 170 offenses for which the city does cooperate with federal authorities for deportation during his Nov. 16 meeting with Trump and U.S. attorney general nominee Jeff Sessions.

"I said: 'Here is an example of a middle ground that works,'" said de Blasio, adding that the list of offenses "covers everything conceivable in terms of serious and violent crime."
"I said this is a model, and I know other cities have similar programs, that could address the fair concerns people have about those who commit serious crimes, but respect millions of others who are part of the fabric of our communities,'" the mayor said he told Sessions and Trump.
New York City has an estimated 500,000 undocumented immigrants.
Corporation Counsel Zachary Carter, a former U.S. attorney, said there is U.S. Supreme Court precedent that "the federal government can't use the threat of withholding funds to coerce the states to conform with federal government issued policy."
It's an opinion shared by state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, who said in a statement that Trump does not have the "constitutional authority" to cut funding from cities that have lawfully acted to protect immigrants.
New York City receives billion in federal funding for things such as counterterrorism and intelligence, affordable housing, and HIV/AIDS prevention. For fiscal year 2017, the city is expecting $8.8 billion in federal aid.
A paragraph in the executive order specifies that jurisdictions that don't comply, shall be deemed "not eligible to receive federal grants ... except as deemed necessary for law enforcement purposes."
Carter called the clause "more gesture than legal force." He said the only funding that may be in jeopardy is police funding because it is relevant to the executive order as per legal precedent.
O'Neill said the NYPD estimates about $150 million to $160 million in federal funding might be at stake. The money is used for overtime on details to protect the United Nations, transit protection task forces and radiological and bomb detection.
Another clause calls for state and local police "to perform the functions of immigration officers in relation to the investigation, apprehension, or detention of aliens" in the country.
De Blasio said the NYPD won't be complying with that clause either.

"We are not going to allow our police officers to be used as immigrant enforcement agents," said the mayor.
Another section of the order calls for publishing a weekly list of crimes allegedly committed by undocumented immigrants and jurisdictions who fail to comply with federal detainee orders to "better inform the public regarding the public safety threats associated with sanctuary" cities.
City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito said Trump's executive order is based on the "false narrative that immigrants, all immigrants, are criminals," she said.
"So what President Trump seems to forget is that America is a nation of immigrants," added Mark-Viverito.
Rep. Joe Crowley said the executive orders, which includes one about building a wall along the Mexican border, "scares the daylight out of me."
He called the sanctuary city executive order a "cheap political stunt" that "makes us vulnerable to a terrorist attack."
The $84.67 billion city budget that de Blasio introduced Tuesday did not have any "Trump-specific adjustments" but the city prepared for the possibility of losing federal funds by bolstering its reserves to more than $5 billion, the highest amount ever.

There is $1 billion in the general fund and $4 billion in the retiree health care fund along with another $250 million in the capital reserves. All of that money can be tapped in an emergency, said de Blasio.
But the city, along with other sanctuary cities and states, will fight any effort to cut federal funds, said de Blasio.
"This executive order does not change who we are. This executive order will not change how we enforce the law," said the mayor. | positive |
Is your child ready for overnight camp? - Pittsburgh Parent Sections Family Life Resource Directories Calendar of THINGS TO DO Topics Crafts SteamForward Community Spotlight Parent to Parent Profile Connect E-Blast Signup Pittsburgh Parent Search E-Blast Signup Family Life Resource Directories Calendar of THINGS TO DO Crafts SteamForward Community Spotlight Parent to Parent Profile Is your child ready for overnight camp? July 26, 2010 Ellen Warren, Parents who never went to camp may wonder why they would send a child away for two, four or even seven weeks. But with research by the American Camp Association (ACA) and youth development professionals citing camp’s many benefits, parents are learning that summer camp is more than fun—camp is an important part of a child’s education for life. The right age Most children will be ready for overnight camp by their double-digit years. “Kids themselves are the best judges of when they are ready. When they show spontaneous interest in camp, that’s a good clue that the time is right,” says Dr. Christopher Thurber, a clinical psychologist and author of The Summer Camp Handbook. Dave Devey, director/owner of Falcon Camp, says, “Children develop in different ways and at different stages. A six-year-old could easily be ready and a nine-year-old might not—and that’s okay!” The decision to attend overnight camp should be camper-driven, says Gordon Josey, owner/director of Camp Twin Creeks. “Children often start talking or asking questions about camp around third grade. Seven or eight-years-old is a good age because younger children tend to be happy and less worried about things. As kids get older, they think more. Virtually none of our younger campers get homesick.” Joe Greitzer, owner/director of Camp Rim Rock for girls, says, “Children are generally ready for overnight camp by age eight or nine, but parents are often not ready themselves to send children to camp at that age. We encourage parents and children to visit camp before the session starts. When everyone knows where the child will sleep and eat and where the fields are, and meets camp staff, it relieves much of the tension.” Alone or with friends Some children ease into overnight camp by going with a friend from home. Josey says that children should be involved in this decision. “Going to camp with a friend is better than not going at all, but part of the camp experience is making new friends,” he says. Greitzer adds, “It depends on the child. Children who are strong and independent and will make friends with other kids may be fine coming to camp with friends from home. But sometimes when a group of friends comes together, they don’t make an effort to make new friends. Or they may turn against each other.” Devey says there are good arguments for both sides. “Going by yourself allows you to “invent yourself” as you meet new people. You can present yourself in a different way than you might with all the peer pressure at school. Going with a friend allows you to share some of those camp experiences at camp and at home. If you go with a friend, it’s important that you still make the effort to meet new people and try different things.” “Well-prepared children with supportive parents will be successful at camp, even going alone,” says Josey. “Parents must speak with children about what camp will be like. Girls generally talk and think more before camp, so they are often better prepared. Boys may experience more homesickness than girls because they talk less about their fears and don’t think about camp until they get there.” Choosing a session Because research shows that it can take about three days for children to adjust to camp, many directors recommend a minimum two-week session. Camp Rim Rock offers a one-week mini camp for rising second through fourth graders to help introduce new campers to camp. Falcon Camp offers a one-week “Young Adventurers” program for six and seven-year-olds, but Devey considers this to be a specialty camp program designed to teach very young, first-time campers what “real” camp will be like next year. “For traditional camp, two weeks is ideal for a first-time younger camper, four or more weeks if they are older,” says Devey. “It takes several days to start making friends, get to know the counselors, figure out activities and schedules, and work through homesickness or other difficulties. By the time a child gets involved in a one-week program, it’s time to go home. Two weeks allows enough time to make better friends, see counselors as role models, learn some skills, and have a rewarding experience.” Devey says that if a child comes home after a one-week camp, he will say, “I had a great time and I went canoeing.” When he comes home from a two-week or longer program, he’ll say, “I had a great time and I learned how to canoe.” “Children should help decide how long a session to attend, and know that they can’t go home early. That gives them an out that most children don’t need, and keeps them from focusing on their success. A child’s first letter home might reflect some initial anxiety during the adjustment period, but by the time the parent opens the letter and calls the camp, the child is fine,” Greitzer says. He cautions that when parents say, “If you’re unhappy, we’ll come get you,” it sends kids a message that they need Mom and Dad to fix their problems. “It’s a wonderful thing for a child to develop self-confidence and responsibility, to learn that they can find their own solutions. Camp is a precursor to being able to survive college,” says Greitzer. Separating for a first-time camp experience is usually harder for parents than it is for children, who quickly adapt to the routine and spirit of camp. Josey says, “When parents believe that camp will be terrific for their children, they are more willing to let go so that kids can go to camp and grow, be independent, and have a wonderful time.” Ellen Warren writes for the American Camp Association Keystone Section, which serves camps and camp families in Pennsylvania and Delaware.

The scene: New Haven, Conn., is famous for two things: being home to Yale University and as a world-renowned pizza destination. The virtues of New Haven pizza have been recorded in books and newspapers worldwide, including this column, which took a close look at the city's two legends, Frank Pepe Pizza Napoletana, better known simply as Pepe's, since 1925, and Sally's Apizza, from 1938. If you have never had New Haven pizza, you owe it to yourself to try one of these, ideally the better (there's no doubt) Pepe's and its famous white clam pizza. But if you have already waited on the long line, or simply can't get in, consider Bar, which offers a very different twist on the New Haven pizza experience and its own unique signature pie – with mashed potatoes.

Bar is everything its two tiny peers are not: big, cavernous, buzzy and open every single night of the year, as well as for lunch Wednesday through Sunday. While it still can fill up, it is easily the most user-friendly of the city's infamously hard-to-get-into pizza places – and houses a brewery and nightclub.
Bar occupies a large industrial space on Crown Street in the heart of downtown, with a brick and glass façade reminiscent of a fire station. Inside it has very high ceilings, brick walls, exposed metal ductwork and gleaming copper tanks and piping comprising the onsite brewing operation. This gives the whole place a warehouse feel, yet softened by lots of exposed wood, including all the tables and chairs, this factory aesthetic somehow comes off as cozy. There is a small loft with a couple of tables overlooking the main dining room, full of group-friendly wooden booths, tables and an intimate U-shaped bar you can eat at, as well the pizza-making area just behind it. The actual pizza oven looks very similar to that at Pepe's, a smallish hole in a brick wall, and incredibly long wooden peels, but according to our waitress, it uses gas rather than coal. There is a whole second side of Bar in the back, a large area given over to a non-pizza nightclub and dance floor.

The food: New Haven pizza is traditionally oblong rather than round, with about as thin a crust as you will find anyplace, crisp and slightly blackened on the bottom. Bar keeps the oval shape on its large pies, which are truly large, come on baking sheets and are cut into a hodgepodge array of slices big and small, some triangular and some rectangular. The small pies are round and nearly the size of most pizzerias' large. The crust here is very thin and somewhat crispy, but not as crisp as its counterparts, and remains flexible enough to fold, like traditional New York-style pizza. It's a lighter take on the local genre and not blackened a la Pepe's or charred like Sally's.
New Haven menus also tend to be limited, with Sally's serving only pizza, Pepe's adding just salad, and Bar following in this tradition with nothing but a house salad and pizzas – except they have a lot more pizzas. Bar partakes in the local custom of offering a clam pizza, using large, fresh and tasty quality littleneck clams. It is not quite as standout as the peerless white clam pizza at Pepe's but it's very good in general. Beyond this they have a much larger than typical slate of toppings, and all are available on a choice of four base pizzas: red, red with mozzarella, white (parmesan and garlic) or white with mozzarella. The clams, along with shrimp and a few other toppings (broccoli, bleu cheese and spinach) are specifically recommended on the white pizza bases. The full assortment is very varied and includes buffalo chicken, artichoke hearts, anchovies, eggplant, fresh and sun-dried tomatoes and all kinds of meat: bacon, meatballs, pepperoni, sausage and chicken. But Bar's unique signature mashed potato pizza is one you will find in few other restaurants.
At the waitress' suggestion we had the pie in full signature style, with mashed potatoes and bacon on the garlicky white base with mozzarella. The mashed potato itself is rich and creamy yet surprisingly light, and there was a lot of bacon. This pizza is both very different and very good. But the creamy mashed potatoes quickly become almost overpowering, and while delicious, this is not a pizza I'd want to eat several slices of. I'd recommend splitting two or more pies here, one of which is the signature.
The quality of the meatballs was very good, making that a top choice, along with the clam, while if you like it spicy, the cherry peppers were hot and delicious and a bit novel. Because there are so many choices and variety is the way to go here, you probably want to stick to multiple small pies unless you have a very large group.
Like the pizzas, the Bar salad, the only other food option here, is both large and very good, and the small is easily enough for two or three as an appetizer. It has seasonal greens, sliced pear, caramelized pecans and crumbled bleu cheese, and these are all high-quality, for a really good and balanced combination of flavors and textures. The other offering of note here is the house-made beers, by the half pint, pint or pitcher, as well as in a sampler of all five varieties: toasted blonde, pale ale, AmBar ale, stout and an ever-changing special. I tried the sampler, and the AmBar was my favorite, light in body but still full of malt flavor. Bar also has an impressive by-the-glass wine list, sangria and specialty cocktails, with much more of a bar focus than New Haven's other famed pizzerias.
Pilgrimage-worthy?: Yes for the mashed potato pie if you are a pizza lover.
Rating: Yum! (Scale: Blah, OK, Mmmm, Yum!, OMG!)

When the Eagles traded Matt Barkley to Arizona, they were to receive a seventh-round pick in return if Barkley stayed on the Cardinals' roster for six games. Because NFL rosters are frozen on Saturday at 4p.m., Barkley is locked in for Week 6, which clinches the seventh round pick for the Eagles.
Here's an updated view of the Eagles' draft picks in 2016:
Round How acquired 1 Eagles' own pick 3 Eagles own pick 3 Acquired from Lions for 2015 4th round pick 4 Eagles' own pick 5 Acquired from Steelers for Brandon Boykin. Can become a 4th round pick if Boykin plays 60% of the Steelers' snaps in 2015, which he likely won't. 5 Eagles' own pick 6 Eagles' own pick 7 Eagles' own pick 7 Acquired from Cardinals for Matt Barkley.

In a recent interview with Bloomberg Television, Roger McNamee, the managing partner and co-founder of Elevation Partners, said Apple is acting like a "dumb monopolist" in how it's operating.
McNamee said Apple has been making moves that are "obviously anti-competitive." He cited the company's App Store and recent changes to its retail stores as examples of some of its anti-competitive moves.
"Now they're consciously trying to slow down web applications on their platforms – [such as] HTML 5, the next-generation web development environment," McNamee said. "You look at that and go, 'guys, why are you doing that?' All the HTML 5 development is on Apple platforms; just let it happen. ... When I look at Apple today, I see them doing crazy things. Like they laid off a ton of people who worked in the Apple Stores. The retail experience went down the toilet the next day, to the point where there was this huge backlash and they were forced to rehire some of the people."
As a stockholder, McNamee was disappointed, as he said cutting costs was not a competitive decision for a company with the "highest-margin hardware business in the last 25 years." Such a decision harms Apple's brand by reducing the value of Apple stores, McNamee said. He then went on to say that after Steve Jobs died, Apple has begun to do "all the thing you would expect a dumb monopolist to do."
In addition to his criticism for Apple as a whole, McNamee wasn't impressed with Apple's iPhone 5 announcement.
"The iPhone 5 is the first one that's not a giant leap forward hardware-wise against Android," he said. "... I mean, it's cool, but it's not like blow-away cool the way that the iPhone 4 was. And I look at this and I go, 'huh?' You always wonder what's going to be the end for a monopolist, and you can see that Apple's already doing the things that – it'll take five years, but they're doing the things that lead to becoming less successful."

Michael Vick played the backtrack game Saturday as he attempted to clear up the controversial comments he made recently regarding the Philadelphia Eagles' quarterback competition.
Vick told WIP-FM on Saturday that he merely answered a direct question when he said he'd like coach Chip Kelly to name a starter before training camp.
Debate: Most enticing QB battle? Which team has the most intriguing quarterback competition: the tabloid-friendly Chip Kelly's More ...
Which team has the most intriguing quarterback competition: the tabloid-friendly Jets or's Eagles
Vick said, "I was asked, 'Do you hope that Coach Kelly makes a decision on the quarterback position before training camp?' I said, 'Yeah, I would hope so, that a decision is made before training camp, because I don't want to continue to get asked the questions about who is having a better practice or who had a better practice that day or who is more equipped to run the offense.' "
Vick's comments weren't taken well in Philly, especially when viewed in light of his previous remarks that he didn't care for splitting reps with Nick Foles during minicamp. He clarified those comments as well.
"I didn't say I wasn't getting enough reps," Vick told the radio station. "I never said that out of my mouth, and I wasn't even asked that question to give a response in that fashion. It's five quarterbacks, and everybody has to get reps. Everybody has to get better. I understand that.
" ... We all wish we could get more reps. I wish I could get more reps during the course of a practice. I wish I could have got half of the plays that somebody else may have got, but that wasn't my selection for the day. It's difficult at times but at the same time you've got to understand the process that we're all going through, and we're all in a learning phase."
Vick said he talked to Kelly in the aftermath of his comments. The coach was OK with Vick's comments and encouraged his quarterback to answer the media's questions honestly.
It might behoove both men if Kelly just suggest Vick stop talking altogether -- especially if Vick has to "clarify" everything he says. But then what would we write about?

A fascinating oral history of Bill Belichick produced by ESPN’s David Fleming reveals the obsessive, mind-bogglingly detail oriented nature of the football genius and how the culture he’s created has directly affected the unparalleled success the Patriots have had over the past 16+ years with Belichick at the helm.
In Belichick’s tenure, the Patriots have won 13 division titles (a record seven in a row), six AFC championships, and four Super Bowls. He’s amassed all that success while playing coach and General Manager. Dealing with the players and the business. Balancing emotional relationships and the organization’s bottom line. Bob Quinn, the Detroit Lions General Manager, claims “There’s only one person who walks on this earth that does it at this level.”
Aqib Talib, who played corner for the Pats in the 2012-2013 season, revealed that Belichick was not afraid to eviscerate his Golden Boy publicly if Brady screwed up.
“Once, in practice, Brady threw a seam ball that was intercepted, and Bill, man, he chewed Tom out, saying, ‘You got 130 career interceptions,’ or whatever it was, ‘and half of them are on this route. You keep doing the same shit over and over and this is what happens.’ Right then you know two things about the Patriots and Bill Belichick: Everybody is treated the same, and you better get your shit together.”
Patriots all-time great Kevin Faulk shared one of the barbs Belichick tossed at Brady.
“I loved when Bill would yell at Tom Brady and say, ‘Hey, Tom, I could go get the quarterback at Foxborough High to do it better than that.'”
The second string QBs didn’t have it made in the shade either. Former backup Matt Cassel, who led the Patriots to an 11-5 record when Brady was injured in 2008, shared a particularly hurtful jab, even bringing Cassel’s mother into it.
My rookie year, I got crushed in the back by a corner blitz against the Giants. We’re playing them the next year in the last preseason game. He asks me, ‘OK, Cassel, what front do they like to bring the corner blitz from?’ I had looked it up the night before, anticipating it. I said, ‘Coach, it’s an over.’ And he goes, ‘Brady?’ Well, you know immediately when he goes to the next guy: ‘Oh, no. Oh, no.’ And Brady says, ‘An under.’ And he goes, ‘Brady’s right. I don’t want to have to send your mother another note that says, ‘Dear Mrs. Cassel, we regret to inform you that your son got killed being a dumbass.'”
If you’ve got the time, I highly suggest checking out the Belichick piece over on ESPN. The dude is an absolute psycho. And I think that’s a compliment. | positive |
1st long distance training duration — 220Triathlon Toggle navigation Categories Discussions Sign In Home› Training and Advice› Long-distance Advice 1st long distance training duration Steven Bragg Posts: 2 July 2021 in Long-distance Advice Hi all, I've entered my first long distance tri and I'm looking for advice on training plan duration. I've been doing tri for about 6 years and have completed every distance up to half distance. I have 2 young children (2yrs old and 8months old) and work full time. I've never ran further than a half marathon or biked further than 75 miles, so just wondered if it's worth having a longer plan of around 48 weeks or shorter around 24 weeks? Thanks. 1 Comments sejalsmith8qrkaubNK Posts: 6 August 9 According to me, here is the basic formula for an effective training schedule- Workout three days a week. Two days a week, for 20 to 30 minutes, jog or run/walk. On the weekends, go for a longer run or run/walk (40 to an hour). On your off days, take a nap or do some other type of exercise. At a conversational pace, proceed. Think about regularly going for walks. 0 Sign In or Register to comment. Howdy, Stranger! It looks like you're new here. Sign in or register to get started.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) women's bantamweight contender Miesha Tate has been keeping her eye on top lightweight slugger Donald Cerrone.
Stand down, Mr. Caraway.
"Cupcake" wanted to get a closer look at his representation, KHI Management Inc., owned by NASCAR driver Kevin Harvick. That's because "Cowboy" always seemed to get the best (or at least atypical) sponsors ahead of each fight. Turns out, the feelings of admiration were mutual.
Tate -- the first female to join KHI -- talks to FOX Sports:
"I can't believe this is coming together this far out from the fight. KHI is so on the ball. You can just tell the level of professionalism. I always wondered why Donald Cerrone's management was better than everyone else. KHI has everything I'm looking for in an agency."
She can now add Budweiser to her list of sponsors for UFC Fight Night 52.
Tate (14-5) returned to the win column with a unanimous decision win over Liz Carmouche at UFC on FOX 11 back in April. Prior to that, "Cupcake" dropped back-to-back losses to division champion Ronda Rousey at UFC 168 in Dec. 2013 and Cat Zingano via technical knockout at The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 17 Finale eight months earlier.
She will certainly have her hands full against the relatively unknown -- but dangerous -- Rin Nakai behind enemy lines next month in Japan, but the good news is, the after party will have plenty of beer. | positive |

I’m happy to say that Material Design In XAML Toolkit version 1.2 has rolled, bringing yet more polish and features that are hopefully going to help people bring their desktop applications to life.
Links:
Key features of note:
ComboBox styling
This great PR as brought the combo style bang up to date with Google’s spec, and it looks great.
TimePicker goes 24 hour
<materialDesign:Clock Is24Hours="True" DisplayAutomation="Cycle" />
Thanks to pauloquicoli for helping out here.
Additional Slider theme
<Slider Minimum="0" Maximum="10" Style="{DynamicResource MaterialDesignDiscreteSlider}" />
DialogHost improvements
The DialogHost control provides Material Designed themed popups and also provides a comprehensive API to deal with popup dialogs, which have traditionally been a pain point for WPF developers. This release polishes some of the API for both MVVM and code-behind scenarios. Some great community testing has helped round this off, and also some code comes from here.

Thanks to all contributors for helping to not only move this project forward, but also helping drive its success; it’s really exciting how much traction this library has gained since I started it.
Coming Next
For 1.3 I’ve already started working on a “Multiple Floating Action Button” which is quite common on Android, and there will be a few smaller tweaks. Also, as ever, I’ll be plugging away at Dragablz as I try and approach a version 1.0. UWP stuff? Still a pet project at the moment 🙂

A CORRUPT West Yorkshire detective who stole more than £1million of seized drugs to sell on the streets with his brother has been ordered to hand over £257,000 of his ill-gotten gains.
Disgraced detective constable Nicholas McFadden, 39, is serving a 23-year sentence after helping himself to heroin, cocaine and cannabis while working at secret evidence stores.
He and his brother, Simon McFadden, 42, who was jailed for 16 years, made more than £600,000 by selling the drugs back to underworld contacts.
Nicholas, from Castleford, was found guilty of stealing class A and B drugs, including heroin and cocaine, after a five-week trial last April. Both brothers were found guilty of conspiring to supply them.
Simon’s wife Karen, also 42, was handed a suspended jail sentence after admitting money laundering. A confiscation hearing under the Proceeds of Crime Act was held at Leeds Crown yesterday in respect of all three defendants. The court heard Nicholas’s total benefit from his offending was £1,102,204. The court heard he now has assets available worth £257,052. He must pay that sum within six months or face a further three years in prison.
Simon, of Harehills, Leeds, was said to have benefitted by £694,976 but has £41,000 of assets available. That sum must also be paid within six months or he will face a sentence of up to 18 months. Karen must pay £28,237 within the same time period or face a 12 month sentence.
The McFaddens lavished much of the cash from the corrupt enterprise on exotic holidays, designer clothes, jewellery, artwork, home improvements and private number plates.
Married Nicholas told friends and family he had received an insurance payout after getting cancer. He gave former partner, police officer Tanya Strangeway, more than £13,000 in cash and an Audi car, claiming he had a windfall after selling his house.
Judge Tom Bayliss told them: “For a brief period, crime paid for your extravagances – but now you have a lifetime to regret it.” | positive |

Kiyonna Anthony @979thebox KBXX - Houston’s #1 Station for Hip-Hop & B @979thebox The Box Houston Featured Video CLOSE Source: Bennett Raglin/BET / Getty Cam’ron knows a thing or two about how to hilariously clap back on social media, so it’s no surprise that he has a few words for fellow social media troll, Joe Budden. Cam gave fans his version of the history of his problems with Jim Jones during an Instagram Live stream earlier this week, which set social media on fire. The former Dipset honcho even admitted to copyrighting Jim’s ByrdGang brand without Jim’s knowledge. During an episode of his I’ll Name This Podcast Later podcast, Budden said he would have fought Cam if he was in Jim Jones’ position. He said, “Dog, when he said, ‘You told me you wasn’t doin’ nothing with ByrdGang, so I copyrighted it,’ I would’ve f***ed him up, immediately! I’m f***ing you up, I don’t care if you’re my brother. I don’t understand that.” Cam’ron got wind of Joe’s comment and took to Instagram to respond, in his usual, humorous way. He screenshot a message he sent to the “Pump It Up” rapper that read, “U can try to fuck me up now if u want.. where u at?” He captioned the sarcastic post, “Somebody wake Joey up..Cause he ain’t gonna open my Dm…Despite what people think..I got genuine love for capo. We know each other’s families.. it would never go there (not on my end)..but u..U can’t afford these problems..U think Ransom was at your door.” Cam even added a link to a website that wrote about Budden’s claim that he’d fight him. But just like any beef, the drama eventually comes to an end. Killa Cam apologized to Budden on Instagram a short time later, writing, “My apologies to joe just spoke to him..I jumped da gun.. My bad.. Brah Much love to u and the misses.” This is how it looks when hip-hop grows up.

20th Anniversary Celebration | Haiti Outreach Program Facebook Donation Results & Successes Student Sponsorship Health Care St Michel Parish Volunteers About News Newsletters Earthquake Select Page 20th Anniversary Celebration Oct 9, 2019 On Friday evening, October 18, the Haiti Outreach Program will celebrate a significant milestone. This year’s annual medical banquet will be dedicated to the dozens of men, women and students who over two decades have been a part of the Haiti Outreach program. This year’s event will be unique in a number of ways. Instead of the basketball goals in the Sacred Heart school gym, the reception and dinner will be held against the backdrop of stained glass in the Parish Hall, the church’s beautiful former sanctuary. Our guests will include Cardinal Chibly Langlois of Haiti. He was created cardinal by Pope Francis in 2014 and is among the leading voices of Catholicism in the Caribbean. Cardinal Langlois is the foremost Catholic leader to attend our banquet. His presence is an enormous honor for our Haiti outreach program. Cardinal Langlois will be joined by two priests from our sister parish, St. Michel, in Boucan Carre. Father Michenet DuPortal, St. Michel’s pastor since 2010, has recently been transferred to another parish. In a hundred ways, large and small, Father DuPortal has been a wonderful partner whose help and advice have made a tremendous positive contribution to the success of our mission in Haiti. His replacement is Father Michelet Lamarre, who arrived at St. Michel in August. Father Lamarre will be coming to Knoxville at an especially important time. Sporadic political unrest has made it unsafe for our mission teams to travel to Haiti for almost two years. Our continued absence, combined with the learning curve of a new priest, will be an enormous challenge to the staff at our medical clinic and to the teachers at the primary and secondary schools we support. The chance to discuss these issues with both priests will be an invaluable opportunity to make plans for the coming year together.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The bottom continues to fall out of Netflix (NFLX). With Friday's close of $337.31, the shares are now down 8% year to date and are off more than 26% from their 52-week high of $458.
At one point it was inconceivable to suggest that Netflix would trade at a price of $300, much less predict $300 as a possible "bottom." Today it's a matter of "when" not "if."
With Wall Street's quarter-to-quarter obsession with growth, Netflix has fallen victim to an environment that Apple (AAPL) knows all too well; "all good things must come to an end." It sounds overly dramatic, I know. But drama is Netflix's bread and butter.
With Amazon's (AMZN) new Fire TV streaming device, along with Apple's new streaming deal with Comcast (CMCSA), Netflix CEO Reed Hasting has to figure out a way to stop this bleeding before his company becomes a comedy -- or worse, a tragedy.
Netflix investors are anxious. They want this market cap hemorrhaging to stop. But investors shouldn't blame Hasting for this.
Back in October, in a letter, Hastings warned investors that Netflix stock had become (in manner of speaking) a bubble. This was after the stock had surged roughly 400% in the preceding 12 months.
Beyond Netflix's own impressive performance, billionaire activist investor Carl Icahn has been a major catalyst in helping drive Netflix stock higher. Icahn took a 10% stake in the company 18 months ago at around $58 per share. It was valued at $323 million.
In Hasting's October letter, which was sent to investors following the company's third-quarter results, Hastings said, "We had solid results compounded by momentum-investor-fueled euphoria. Some of the euphoria today feels like 2003."
Recall, Netflix went public in 2003. The stock soared over 440% from below $5 per share to more than $27. Heeding the warning of Hastings, Icahn didn't waste any time selling almost half of his shares worth an estimated $1 billion. He then said, it was "time to take some chips off the table." Icahn still holds about 2.6 million shares.
Since then, Icahn has doubled down on his position in Apple. As Netflix's death spiral continues, the company's survival hinges on one thing and one thing only - an Apple acquisition. It's time for Apple to make the call to Hastings and seal the deal. And as Netflix shares move closer to $300 the suspense with Apple heightens.
We now know Apple has a television script. It was never a secret. With Netflix' existing 44 million subscriber base, along with its popular brand, Apple can take over a growing business and fulfill its promise of re-inventing television.
Netflix has ambitions of going toe-to-toe with HBO. Hasting even called HBO it's prime competitor. Well, Apple's deal with Comcast changes things a bit. Comcast, through its acquisition of Time Warner Cable (TWC), now has an interest in preserving HBO's popularity. With Apple in the fold, Comcast now has no need to offer Netflix as a premium add-on.
The only question for Apple is the price. How much it would take to make a deal happen. Last week I suggested $28 billion, given Netflix's (then) $22 billion market cap. Today, that market cap has shrunk by $2 billion, and it's still falling. Another $2 billion decline would put the stock at around $300 per share. Apple would save $5 billion to buy Netflix, assuming it offers a premium of 30%.
With sharks in the waters like Hulu, Amazon and Comcast's own HBOGo, Apple will pick off Netflix and immediately put out Amazon's Fire and dethrone Google's (GOOG) YouTube. They are all coming after Netflix's customer base. Hasting is in no position to bargain with Apple. His company's life depends on it.
At the time of publication, the author was long AAPL and held no position in any of the other stocks mentioned.

Pursuing the end of the civil war through a negotiated solution should still be the number one priority for Americans and Europeans alike
In the first two months of 2015, Libya has rapidly climbed in the list of the top foreign policy priorities of many European capitals. Even for non-Mediterranean EU member states, Libya now comes right after Ukraine and Syria/Iraq as it includes two threats that resonate in the Western European domestic debate: the first is jihadism and ISIS, particularly felt after the Paris and Copenhagen terrorist attacks; the second threat is uncontrolled migrations, which in connection with the fear of Islamism create a high level of concern beyond the boundaries of populist parties. Since the beginning of the new civil war in Libya in May 2014, European policy-makers have struggled to find a solution to the crisis and they are now faced with the old dilemma of choosing between diplomacy and war.
The rise of Daesh (as ISIS is known in Arabic) in Libya is as recent as it is dramatic. The first group to openly take center stage, based in the eastern city of Derna, swore allegiance to the so-called Caliphate in October. Since then, the organization has conducted attacks almost everywhere in northern Libya: in Tobruk as well as in Tripoli, where an attack against the Corinthia Hotel on 27 January (which resulted in the death of a US and a French citizen) started to cause alarm. A further escalation originated from the release of the video showing the beheading of 21 Egyptians, most of them Christian Copts, on February 15. This sparked a reaction by Egypt which conducted several air strikes in Libya in coordination with the air force of the internationally-recognized government sitting in Tobruk.
Meanwhile, key members of the Italian government, including the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Defense, had stated that Italy was ready to intervene militarily in Libya and go as far as sending ground troops. This seemed to dovetail with Egypt’s simultaneous diplomatic offensive at the UN, aimed at getting a UN mandate for an intervention in Libya against Daesh. Egypt’s request at the UN Security Council seemed enjoy particularly strong support from France.
This potential alignment in favor of a new international intervention lasted less than 24 hours. Italy’s Prime Minister Matteo Renzi back-tracked on the Italian role and a few hours later a joint statement by the US and major European countries (including Italy) pushed back against the military option and promoted a UN-led dialogue as the only solution to Libya’s problems. Even the second Egyptian diplomatic attempt, namely a Security Council resolution aimed at lifting the arms embargo on the Tobruk government, hit against a joint European and American push-back.
For all the talk of European disunity in the Middle East and North Africa, the events of 16 February showed a remarkable European ability to find common ground both among large member states and with the US. This European unity came on the heels of an EU Foreign Affairs Council held a week earlier in which a shared and comprehensive plan emerged. The EU agreed to put all its weight behind a political agreement, stating its readiness to work with and assist the national unity government that would result from such an agreement while preserving the neutrality of economic institutions so that none of the warring parties could control Libyan finances in order to sustain the fighting. The EU has also formalized its readiness to issue individual sanctions against Libyan warlords boycotting dialogue, without waiting for a Security Council decision in this sense. Last but not least, the EU promised a Common Security and Defense Policy (CSDP) mission, which would include a peace-keeping force to guarantee the implementation of an agreement.

Public Blockchains, What’s the Big Deal? | by Andrew Bakst | Medium Get unlimited access Open in app Home Notifications Lists Stories Write Andrew Bakst Follow Jun 28, 2020 · 9 min read Public Blockchains, What’s the Big Deal? An Upgrade to the Internet Public blockchains will be as important to the world as the internet. The internet allowed for the frictionless flow of information. Public blockchains allow for the frictionless flow of value. Value has been a second-class citizen on the internet, until now. Value has been largely overlooked by businesses, who have accepted commercial banks, payment rails, and payment APIs as they are, who have accepted data accumulators, data brokerages, and targeted advertisers as they are. We propose that blockchains will flood the world with ‘value opportunities’, just as the internet flooded the world with ‘information opportunities’. We propose that the flooding of value opportunities will shift the current attention economy to the intention economy, where people are driven by not only information, but also value [1]. Value can be broken into two buckets: investments and data. Both of these subcategories are valued via some fiat currency’s unit of measurement depending on your country of residence. However, as we mention in our article on automated market makers on public blockchains, cash will lose its monopoly on its medium of exchange function; all payments will be able to be made with many investable assets, with cash just as one option, just as cash is just one option for investing (and, in times of rampant quantitative easing, the least intelligent one #longgold #longcrypto #notinvestmentadvice). Public blockchains’ disruption of finance is known as decentralized finance. Public disruption of the internet’s architecture (data ownership, file storage, compute, etc.) is known as the decentralized web. We’ve written extensively about how finance will be disrupted. We haven’t yet written anything long-form about the decentralized web, as it is further out and there are significant unknowns about how it will unfold — the further out we try to predict the future, the harder it is to predict [2]. However, we can directionally point to the advent of user-owned data, regardless of how that data is stored architecturally. While most of our analysis has focused on the back-end involving public blockchains (the architecture of these systems), now we will focus on the front-end: what are the new user experiences that public blockchains create. We have focused largely on the back-end because we believe in the fat protocol thesis and that interoperability enabled by liquidity is the greatest moat in the space. The newest front-ends in crypto will still command profits, but likely at lower margins than the current monopolistic front-ends of the internet. The back-ends of these systems will capture significantly more value than the front-ends. However, we also believe that other investments may be successful that do not align with the fat protocol thesis, namely investments that benefit from either the economies of scale of securing private keys (i.e. Coinbase or Bitgo) or the liquidity of certain layer-two protocols (i.e. automated market makers, like Curve, or lending/margin exchanges, like dYdX). It is significantly harder (perhaps impossible) to accurately describe what the front-end disruption will look like, as opposed to what we’ve done internally (point directionally to the future, via the opportunities enabled by the newly created back-end). But we’ll do it anyway, as it’s a fun exercise and we believe the past (namely the history of the internet) may forecast the most likely outcomes of public blockchains’ consumer experiences. Our best hope from this brief exercise is to inspire builders to tackle what appear to be the most clear opportunities for public blockchains. Looking backwards, the most impactful use cases of the internet have been: To allow anyone to become their own journalist (Facebook, Twitter, Medium, Reddit, and Youtube are all very similar — what’s different is how they organize information and what type of media their UXs encourage) To allow for the frictionless search of information, allowing people to find information that fits their knowledge interest (Google search is the most obvious example, although Wikipedia has been extremely impactful as well) E-commerce, which can be abstracted more so as purchasing goods/services based on digital information, a.k.a. purchase without retail (Amazon, Expedia, Uber, Shopify’s enablement of anyone to launch an e-commerce site, etc.) To allow for people to work together on complex tasks/documents from remote physical locations (There are a plethora of collaboration tools with increased popularity, but some of the most well-known are Atlassian, Zoom, Slack, Figma, Airtable, Google docs, etc.). These primary use cases can be further broken down into simpler buckets that remove the complexity/examples: Share information for fun/news Find information Purchase via information, a.k.a. purchase without retail Share information for productivity/creation Projecting these simple concepts from the frictionless flow of information onto the frictionless flow of value is easy, although it may initially appear ambiguous as to what each means: Share value for fun/news Find value Purchase via value Share value for productivity/creation Because value can be broken into both investments and data, there are really two separate sub-buckets for each of these buckets. Extrapolating these simple concepts into more concrete examples renders the following table: Table: Blockchain’s Consumer Use Cases, Investments vs. Data Zooming in on each of these 4 buckets, and their sub-categories, we can clearly paint each consumer experience (Numbers are in reference to rows, with #1 starting at the top): For Investments: 1. See TokenSets as a prime example of social trading to the max. This allows anyone to be a hedge fund manager or banker [3]. Users can either pay a competitive fee (the fees will probably be more similar to an ETF rate than the modern fund’s 2–20 rate, as giving anyone the ability to run a fund inherently makes fund supply much more competitive) for their capital to be pooled directly with the investor(s) they follow, or users can ‘follow-for-free’, but with the cost of buying/selling at high/lower prices respectively [4]. A strong trend behind the advent of global, social investing is an abundance of capital, a trend we are already beginning to see with retail traders on apps like Robinhood. Public blockchains allow for capital to be loaned or invested at scale without big banks or large fund raises, quite similar to how social media increased information beyond traditional news sources. Similar to how the internet has played out, some people may have their own investment sites (i.e. personal blogs, enabled by products like Wordpress), while others may be aggregated by platforms with strong network effects (i.e. Facebook). 2. With a flooding of investment opportunities, there will need to exist a search engine that sufficiently directs consumers to the value-opportunities that best interest them. 3. See Numerai’s Erasure protocol as a prime example. Users can purchase items based on value staked behind the service. This is subtle, but allows for greater leaps in trust across e-commerce. If a seller wrongs a buyer, that buyer can slash the capital put at risk by the seller. Money programmatically put at risk leads to greater trust in the seller. Additionally, all purchases can be done without financial middlemen, as people can purchase items without traditional bank infrastructure mediating the purchase. Today, I can send USDC to China for cents in fees, with the transaction cleared in 13 seconds and settled in 2 minutes, a far cry from SWIFT and the rest of the incumbent payment infrastructure. 4. Certain investments will only be possible through the pooling of capital (i.e. syndicate formation). Blockchains will allow for the frictionless and programmatic pooling of capital, such that small retail participants can become one larger force on a cap table, getting into deals they could not previously. If the capital target is not met, the capital would be returned to all of the investors, paying only cents in fees for the attempt. Opportunities like these are particularly exciting, as it can allow low-income communities to have equity for the first time in a long-time (arguably since the 1950s). That said, technology alone will not be enough to fully solve the poor’s access to equity; politics will need to play a role as well. For Data: 1. Data is both information and value. While user-owned data is subtle, it will allow for entirely different information-consumption experiences. A social media site today can be thought of as a protocol (i.e. followers-based, friends-based, etc.) with an algorithm that navigates the user through the protocol. The protocols that underpin social media will remain the same, but user-owned data will allow for users to interact with the same protocol using different algorithms. We could both use the Facebook protocol, but our feed algorithms may be completely different, as we can choose an algorithm that best aligns with our given intent of that time (i.e. what are my college friends up to, or what are people in a certain neighborhood of Brooklyn up to, etc.). It doesn’t mean we’re not friends; it just means that we care about different things at the moment. No longer will our interaction with social media be controlled by one company. 2. Finding the right algorithm to deploy over your social media accounts will likely require a search engine, as there will likely be a plethora of these algorithms, each optimized for certain data sets. Additionally, there will likely be a desire for people, whether you’re an investor or machine-learning programmer, to find all sorts of data outside of social media applications, which will require a search engine as well. 3. Consumers will have increased access to the data on the products they purchase. One could imagine that the most valuable data people would care about is climate and humanitarian impact, as those values most align with growing consumer values. Additionally, see EY’s Baseline Protocol as the nascent beginning of a decentralized logistics protocol, where a group of enterprises can communicate with the trust and efficiency of a singular Amazon, allowing for mom and pops to compete with current monopolies on user-experience, namely pricing and shipping time. This poses the end of logistic monopolies that extract rent from the supply-sides of their marketplace networks. 4. Certain data is only valuable if it is pooled together. Users will be able to pool their data (and earn) for enhancing AI algorithms. Users will likely be able to choose who benefits from their data, if they care. Conclusion Across both investments and data, it is clear that consumers will have a much greater voice on how money is allocated for investments (consumers choosing instead of banks) and how data is consumed for both personal gain and corporation/societal gain (AI). Having a greater voice on how capital and data is allocated in society, as well as how data is consumed by oneself, will render the intention economy, the end of the attention economy. This is what value as a first class citizen on the internet leads to, where interests are not controlled by big-banks and big-tech, but by a decentralized group of billions. Additionally, public blockchains avoid the monopolies that have naturally formed around modern internet businesses. Public blockchains are permissionless (the more decentralized the blockchain, the more permissionless the blockchain), meaning that extracting monopoly rents is nearly-impossible [5]. The front-ends that allow for the interaction between consumers and value will still accrue worth, but they will be hyper-competitive from the start to the end, whereas Web 2.0 companies were only competitive at the start [6]. In blockchains, the winner-takes-all effect will only exist at the protocol layer, not the application layer, although it will end up being winner-takes-most (~90%), not winner-takes-all [7]. Notes of Interest All of the use cases have the underpinnings of information as well: public blockchains are only possible because of the internet. For example, deciding which investors to follow also requires conversation/analysis about which investors are picking the most attractive investments; value and information will flow hand-in-hand. It is possible that the flood of value-opportunities is initially similar to the flood of information-opportunities, where the inflow of both high-quality and low-quality value opportunities increases significantly. However, we believe it is extremely unlikely that low-quality value opportunities traverse to the same extent that low-quality information has, as regulations around value are already much more strict than regulations around information. Endnotes [1] In economic speak, consumers will optimize the value of their lives — not necessarily focusing solely on monetary, but according to whatever variables they choose. [2] The largest open question in Web 3.0 to what extent the storage of data and the computation over that data can be decoupled. We believe that they will be fully decoupled. [3] Users can lend to the companies that those they follow are lending to; users can invest in a startup that those they follow are investing in. [4] This is an indirect fee, as the users would be trading/investing immediately behind the primary investor, thus paying via price changes instead of management/performance fees. Different users will have different fee/UX preferences. [5] Because blockchain protocols are free/open APIs, any company charging rent above their economic profit will immediately face competition from a party that undercuts them on pricing, providing the exact same user experience at a lower cost to the user. [6] Web 2.0 companies lost their competitiveness because each marketplace/platform is a closed loop, with 0 open APIs. Those that won the network effects game have user-lock in (on both their buy-sides and supply-sides) and can extract significantly more than they could in a competitive environment. [7] Protocols will have the defensible network of liquidity (Liquidity can be represented via investments/money directly in the case of decentralized finance or data in the case of decentralized web,), the only defensible network effect in the space. -- -- More from Andrew Bakst Follow Partner at Bizantine Capital Love podcasts or audiobooks?

STUMP » Articles » Centless in Seattle: The New Soda Tax Saga » 9 January 2018, 04:26 STUMP » Articles » Centless in Seattle: The New Soda Tax Saga » 9 January 2018, 04:26 STUMP Where Stu & MP spout off about everything. Centless in Seattle: The New Soda Tax Saga by meep 9 January 2018, 04:26 Thanks to @HostaDaylily for my series name. Let’s hope it lasts. via GIPHY So, I already had a kick-off post, but I’ve found so much more since then. Here is Jon Gabriel, better known as @exjon on Twitter, talking about the new tax: Where will all the new revenue go? Seattle officials expect a $15 million boost in the first year. Since this was sold as a health initiative, $2 million of that will expand a city program that gives fruit and vegetable vouchers to low-income families. Of course, only $400,000 will go to actual vouchers; the other $1.6 million stays with the government for “administrative costs.” Philadelphia, which enacted a similar tax last year, overestimated the expected revenue. Sales of carbonated soft drinks fell 55 percent inside the city, while sales rose 38 percent in the towns that surround it. It achieved neither the financial goals nor the health goals. When the Seattle tax was first proposed, a “racial-equity analysis” found that diet beverages should be included since they are more popular among whites and the wealthy people. The politicians shot this down since they know which constituents donate to and vote for them. Wait. What? This isn’t even about sugar, if you’re taxing diet sodas. What the heck? Like most of these beverage taxes hitting blue cities, what is and is not included are counter-intuitive. All meal replacement drinks, powdered mixes, and most sugary coffee drinks — such as those found at local mega-company Starbucks — are exempt. A lot of those sound like, oh, I dunno, things popular among whites and/or wealthy people. Why not tax those, too? So, if you buy a bottled lemonade, you pay the tax. If you buy Kool-Aid and mix it with water at home, no tax. If you buy a Venti Brown Sugar Shortbread Latte at Starbucks, the tax doesn’t apply. If you get a Tall Brown Sugar Shortbread Frappuccino, which has less sugar, it does. Oh, man, I remember mom buying the Koolaid mix that DID NOT have the sugar in it. When we made the mistake of mixing it up without sugar… BLECH. WHEN THE TAX IS EVEN HIGHER THAN WHAT THEY TRIED IN CHICAGO Sticker shock over Seattle’s new sugary drink tax: People are feeling sticker shock over Seattle’s sugary drink tax. You might’ve seen a picture circulating on social media that shows a more than $10 tax on a $15.99 case of Gatorade at Costco. On Friday, shoppers were taking their own pictures, stunned by the new prices. Advocates of the tax held a press conference on Friday, to explain how the city plans to use the $15 million expected to be raised from the tax in 2018. One Costco shopper loaded a case of Coca-Cola into her cart, not noticing the new price until KIRO7 pointed it out. “That much!” said Vilma Villagran, who was buying the case for her family. The regular case of Coke is now $7.35 more expensive than the Diet Coke or Coke Zero. “I knew it was going to be high, but not that crazy high,” Villagran said. Other shoppers closely read the sign, which explains that as of Jan. 1, Seattle shoppers are paying 1.75 cents per ounce on sugar-sweetened beverages – something shoppers are really noticing when buying in bulk. The tax has many people opting for the diet soda. Supporters of the tax said that’s the point – not necessarily to switch to diet soda, but getting consumers to go for healthier options. “I’m just very excited,” said Jim Krieger, who is on the committee for Seattle Healthy Kids Coalition and is the executive director of Health Food America. “The hope is consumption of the unhealthy product — which causes heart disease, diabetes — will go down, the sugary drinks to go down, and we fully expect that to be the case,” Krieger said. The other purpose is tax dollars. The $15 million Seattle expects to raise from the tax will go toward programs that will help people who are in need have better access to fresh fruits and vegetables. The money will also fund education programs. See the full breakdown provided at the end of the article. I will provide the breakdown shortly, but I wonder if Seattle factored in their presumed goal of reducing sugary soda consumption as part of determining what their expected take would be. Breakdown of sugary beverage tax allocations, as provided by Seattle Healthy Kids Coalition: Programs that the City Council has approved funding ($5,658,494) for in 2018 already include: Fresh Bucks, Food Action Plan ($2,404,359) 13th Year Promise Scholarship ($1,381,885) Innovation High School, Summer Learning, Summer Melt ($1,004,500) Our Best ($189,000) Parent-Child Home Program ($525,000) Food Banks ($153,750) Proposed investments ($4,120,639) awaiting review by CAB in Spring 2018: Farm to Table Fresh Bucks to Go Food Banks Out-of-School Time Nutrition Program Early learning programs In addition to these investments, revenue from the new sugary drinks tax will also support evaluation work ($500,000) to track the tax’s effectiveness and impacts, job retraining support ($500,000) for those employed within the local distribution network for the beverage industry and general administrative support ($1,082,000) in city government. I love the term “investments” when it comes to spending tax money. Makes one all tingly inside. Do the people paying the soda tax get updates on how their “investments” are faring? Here’s my main question, though: what is the money heirarchy here? If the take is less than $15 million, am I to assume that the $1 million to the city government is guaranteed, and the non-government-money is less guaranteed? Just asking questions. SEATTLE SODA TWITTER Let’s see if I can find more reactions. "Oh well, I’m sure this foolish new soda tax will turn out fine just like Seattle’s foolish minimum wage hike." https://t.co/O6xiu80WXA January 6, 2018 LOGIC: This story on the price impacts of Seattle soda tax is bananas.

The tax is either big enough to elicit behavior change, which would slow sales and hurt local biz and potentially reduce calories, or it isn't. Get your stories straight! — Scott Drenkard (@ScottDrenkard) January 7, 2018 Amusingly, this is the exact same “reasoning” in Cook County, but it was a bit more fraught there, as Cook County was facing budget cuts (and got them once the soda tax was rescinded). I don’t know if Seattle is similarly hurting for revenue. It could be. When is sugar not sugar? When it's all fruit juice or comes from Starbucks. #Seattle sugar tax prices explained. https://t.co/GDfFSvwm2C — Sue Lani Madsen (@SueLaniMadsen) January 5, 2018 Seriously, this is exactly the same as Cook County — except a higher tax rate. This is absurd. I’m really looking forward to the Mike Bloomberg ads he’ll play in Seattle. He’s got ads to play in Seattle, right? Businesses around Seattle are passing a new excise tax directly onto consumers and using misleading information to do so—and consumers are falling for it. https://t.co/qsmC11JlS4 — Hanna Brooks Olsen (@mshannabrooks) January 6, 2018 Oh, you silly people. Taxes are always passed onto the consumer. Where do you think the distributors/retailers get their money? The soda fairy? All the money ultimately comes from those who buy the soda.

Baltimore, Maryland
1:04 P.M. EST
THE PRESIDENT: Well, good afternoon. And, Sabah, thank you for the wonderful introduction and for your example -- your devotion to your faith and your education, and your service to others. You’re an inspiration. You’re going to be a fantastic doctor. And I suspect, Sabah, your parents are here because they wanted to see you so -- where are Sabah’s parents? There you go. (Applause.) Good job, Mom. She did great, didn’t she? She was terrific.
To everyone here at the Islamic Society of Baltimore, thank you for welcoming me here today. I want to thank Muslim Americans leaders from across this city and this state, and some who traveled even from out of state to be here. I want to recognize Congressman John Sarbanes, who is here. (Applause.) As well as two other great leaders in Congress -- and proud Muslim Americans -- Congressman Keith Ellison from the great state of Minnesota -- (applause) -- and Congressman Andre Carson from the great state of Indiana. (Applause.)
This mosque, like so many in our country, is an all-American story. You’ve been part of this city for nearly half a century. You serve thousands of families -- some who’ve lived here for decades as well as immigrants from many countries who’ve worked to become proud American citizens.
Now, a lot of Americans have never visited a mosque. To the folks watching this today who haven’t -- think of your own church, or synagogue, or temple, and a mosque like this will be very familiar. This is where families come to worship and express their love for God and each other. There’s a school where teachers open young minds. Kids play baseball and football and basketball -- boys and girls -- I hear they’re pretty good. (Laughter.) Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts meet, recite the Pledge of Allegiance here.
With interfaith dialogue, you build bridges of understanding with other faith communities -- Christians and Jews. There’s a health clinic that serves the needy, regardless of their faith. And members of this community are out in the broader community, working for social justice and urban development. As voters, you come here to meet candidates. As one of your members said, “just look at the way we live...we are true Americans.”
So the first thing I want to say is two words that Muslim Americans don’t hear often enough -- and that is, thank you. Thank you for serving your community. Thank you for lifting up the lives of your neighbors, and for helping keep us strong and united as one American family. We are grateful for that. (Applause.)
Now, this brings me to the other reason I wanted to come here today. I know that in Muslim communities across our country, this is a time of concern and, frankly, a time of some fear. Like all Americans, you’re worried about the threat of terrorism. But on top of that, as Muslim Americans, you also have another concern -- and that is your entire community so often is targeted or blamed for the violent acts of the very few.
The Muslim American community remains relatively small --several million people in this country. And as a result, most Americans don’t necessarily know -- or at least don't know that they know -- a Muslim personally. And as a result, many only hear about Muslims and Islam from the news after an act of terrorism, or in distorted media portrayals in TV or film, all of which gives this hugely distorted impression.
And since 9/11, but more recently, since the attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, you’ve seen too often people conflating the horrific acts of terrorism with the beliefs of an entire faith. And of course, recently, we’ve heard inexcusable political rhetoric against Muslim Americans that has no place in our country.
No surprise, then, that threats and harassment of Muslim Americans have surged. Here at this mosque, twice last year, threats were made against your children. Around the country, women wearing the hijab -- just like Sabah -- have been targeted. We’ve seen children bullied. We’ve seen mosques vandalized. Sikh Americans and others who are perceived to be Muslims have been targeted, as well.
I just had a chance to meet with some extraordinary Muslim Americans from across the country who are doing all sorts of work. Some of them are doctors; some of them are community leaders; religious leaders. All of them were doing extraordinary work not just in the Muslim community but in the American community. And they’re proud of their work in business and education, and on behalf of social justice and the environment and education. I should point out they were all much younger than me -- (laughter) -- which is happening more frequently these days. And you couldn’t help but be inspired, hearing about the extraordinary work that they’re doing. But you also could not help but be heartbroken to hear their worries and their anxieties.
Some of them are parents, and they talked about how their children were asking, are we going to be forced out of the country, or, are we going to be rounded up? Why do people treat us like that? Conversations that you shouldn’t have to have with children -- not in this country. Not at this moment.
And that’s an anxiety echoed in letters I get from Muslim Americans around the country. I’ve had people write to me and say, I feel like I’m a second-class citizen. I’ve had mothers write and say, “my heart cries every night,” thinking about how her daughter might be treated at school. A girl from Ohio, 13 years old, told me, “I’m scared.” A girl from Texas signed her letter “a confused 14-year-old trying to find her place in the world.”
These are children just like mine. And the notion that they would be filled with doubt and questioning their places in this great country of ours at a time when they’ve got enough to worry about -- it’s hard being a teenager already -- that’s not who we are.
We’re one American family. And when any part of our family starts to feel separate or second-class or targeted, it tears at the very fabric of our nation. (Applause.)
It’s a challenge to our values -- and that means we have much work to do. We’ve got to tackle this head on. We have to be honest and clear about it. And we have to speak out. This is a moment when, as Americans, we have to truly listen to each other and learn from each other. And I believe it has to begin with a common understanding of some basic facts. And I express these facts, although they’d be obvious to many of the people in this place, because, unfortunately, it’s not facts that are communicated on a regular basis through our media.
So let’s start with this fact: For more than a thousand years, people have been drawn to Islam’s message of peace. And the very word itself, Islam, comes from salam -- peace. The standard greeting is as-salamu alaykum -- peace be upon you. And like so many faiths, Islam is rooted in a commitment to compassion and mercy and justice and charity. Whoever wants to enter paradise, the Prophet Muhammad taught, “let him treat people the way he would love to be treated.” (Applause.) For Christians like myself, I’m assuming that sounds familiar. (Laughter.)
The world’s 1.6 billion Muslims are as diverse as humanity itself. They are Arabs and Africans. They're from Latin America to Southeast Asia; Brazilians, Nigerians, Bangladeshis, Indonesians. They are white and brown and black. There’s a large African American Muslim community. That diversity is represented here today. A 14-year-old boy in Texas who’s Muslim spoke for many when he wrote to me and said, “We just want to live in peace.”
Here’s another fact: Islam has always been part of America. Starting in colonial times, many of the slaves brought here from Africa were Muslim. And even in their bondage, some kept their faith alive. A few even won their freedom and became known to many Americans. And when enshrining the freedom of religion in our Constitution and our Bill of Rights, our Founders meant what they said when they said it applied to all religions.
Back then, Muslims were often called Mahometans. And Thomas Jefferson explained that the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom he wrote was designed to protect all faiths -- and I’m quoting Thomas Jefferson now -- “the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and the Mahometan.” (Applause.)
Jefferson and John Adams had their own copies of the Koran. Benjamin Franklin wrote that “even if the Mufti of Constantinople were to send a missionary to preach to us, he would find a pulpit at his service.” (Applause.) So this is not a new thing.
Generations of Muslim Americans helped to build our nation. They were part of the flow of immigrants who became farmers and merchants. They built America’s first mosque, surprisingly enough, in North Dakota. (Laughter.) America’s oldest surviving mosque is in Iowa. The first Islamic center in New York City was built in the 1890s. Muslim Americans worked on Henry Ford’s assembly line, cranking out cars. A Muslim American designed the skyscrapers of Chicago.
In 1957, when dedicating the Islamic center in Washington, D.C., President Eisenhower said, “I should like to assure you, my Islamic friends, that under the American Constitution … and in American hearts…this place of worship, is just as welcome…as any other religion.” (Applause.)
And perhaps the most pertinent fact, Muslim Americans enrich our lives today in every way. They’re our neighbors, the teachers who inspire our children, the doctors who trust us with our health -- future doctors like Sabah. They’re scientists who win Nobel Prizes, young entrepreneurs who are creating new technologies that we use all the time. They’re the sports heroes we cheer for -— like Muhammad Ali and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Hakeem Olajuwon. And by the way, when Team USA marches into the next Olympics, one of the Americans waving the red, white and blue -- (applause) -- will a fencing champion, wearing her hijab, Ibtihaj Muhammad, who is here today. Stand up. (Applause.) I told her to bring home the gold. (Laughter.) Not to put any pressure on you. (Laughter.)
Muslim Americans keep us safe. They’re our police and our firefighters. They're in homeland security, in our intelligence community. They serve honorably in our armed forces -- meaning they fight and bleed and die for our freedom. Some rest in Arlington National Cemetery. (Applause.)
So Muslim Americans are some of the most resilient and patriotic Americans you’ll ever meet. We’re honored to have some of our proud Muslim American servicemembers here today. Please stand if you're here, so we can thank you for your service. (Applause.)
So part of the reason I want to lay out these facts is because, in the discussions that I was having with these incredibly accomplished young people, they were pointing that so often they felt invisible. And part of what we have to do is to lift up the contributions of the Muslim American community not when there’s a problem, but all the time.
Our television shows should have some Muslim characters that are unrelated to national security -- (applause) -- because -- it’s not that hard to do. There was a time when there were no black people on television. And you can tell good stories while still representing the reality of our communities.
Now, we do have another fact that we have to acknowledge. Even as the overwhelming majority -- and I repeat, the overwhelming majority -- of the world’s Muslims embrace Islam as a source of peace, it is undeniable that a small fraction of Muslims propagate a perverted interpretation of Islam. This is the truth.
Groups like al Qaeda and ISIL, they’re not the first extremists in history to misuse God’s name. We’ve seen it before, across faiths. But right now, there is a organized extremist element that draws selectively from Islamic texts, twists them in an attempt to justify their killing and their terror. They combine it with false claims that America and the West are at war with Islam. And this warped thinking that has found adherents around the world -- including, as we saw, tragically, in Boston and Chattanooga and San Bernardino -- is real. It’s there. And it creates tensions and pressure that disproportionately burden the overwhelming majority of law-abiding Muslim citizens.
And the question then is, how do we move forward together? How do we keep our country strong and united? How do we defend ourselves against organizations that are bent on killing innocents? And it can’t be the work of any one faith alone. It can’t be just a burden on the Muslim community -- although the Muslim community has to play a role. We all have responsibilities. So with the time I have left, I just want to suggest a few principles that I believe can guide us.
First, at a time when others are trying to divide us along lines of religion or sect, we have to reaffirm that most fundamental of truths: We are all God’s children. We’re all born equal, with inherent dignity.
And so often, we focus on our outward differences and we forget how much we share. Christians, Jews, Muslims -- we’re all, under our faiths, descendants of Abraham. So mere tolerance of different religions is not enough. Our faiths summon us to embrace our common humanity. “O mankind,” the Koran teaches, we have “made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another.” (Applause.) So all of us have the task of expressing our religious faith in a way that seeks to build bridges rather than to divide.
Second, as Americans, we have to stay true to our core values, and that includes freedom of religion for all faiths. I already mentioned our Founders, like Jefferson, knew that religious liberty is essential not only to protect religion but because religion helps strengthen our nation -- if it is free, if it is not an extension of the state. Part of what’s happened in the Middle East and North Africa and other places where we see sectarian violence is religion being a tool for another agenda -- for power, for control. Freedom of religion helps prevent that, both ways -- protects religious faiths, protects the state from -- or those who want to take over the state from using religious animosity as a tool for their own ends.
That doesn’t mean that those of us with religious faith should not be involved. We have to be active citizenry. But we have to respect the fact that we have freedom of religion.
Remember, many preachers and pastors fought to abolish the evil of slavery. People of faith advocated to improve conditions for workers and ban child labor. Dr. King was joined by people of many faiths, challenging us to live up to our ideals. And that civil activism, that civic participation that’s the essence of our democracy, it is enhanced by freedom of religion.
Now, we have to acknowledge that there have been times where we have fallen short of our ideals. By the way, Thomas Jefferson’s opponents tried to stir things up by suggesting he was a Muslim -- so I was not the first -- (applause.) No, it’s true, it’s true. Look it up. (Laughter.) I’m in good company. (Laughter.)
But it hasn’t just been attacks of that sort that have been used. Mormon communities have been attacked throughout our history. Catholics, including, most prominently, JFK -- John F. Kennedy -- when he ran for President, was accused of being disloyal. There was a suggestion that he would be taking orders from the Pope as opposed to upholding his constitutional duties. Anti-Semitism in this country has a sad and long history, and Jews were exclude routinely from colleges and professions and from public office.
And so if we’re serious about freedom of religion -- and I’m speaking now to my fellow Christians who remain the majority in this country -- we have to understand an attack on one faith is an attack on all our faiths. (Applause.) And when any religious group is targeted, we all have a responsibility to speak up. And we have to reject a politics that seeks to manipulate prejudice or bias, and targets people because of religion.
We’ve got to make sure that hate crimes are punished, and that the civil rights of all Americans are upheld. (Applause.) And just as faith leaders, including Muslims, must speak out when Christians are persecuted around the world -- (applause) -- or when anti-Semitism is on the rise -- because the fact is, is that there are Christians who are targeted now in the Middle East, despite having been there for centuries, and there are Jews who’ve lived in places like France for centuries who now feel obliged to leave because they feel themselves under assault --sometimes by Muslims. We have to be consistent in condemning hateful rhetoric and violence against everyone. (Applause.) And that includes against Muslims here in the United States of America. (Applause.)
So none of us can be silent. We can’t be bystanders to bigotry. And together, we’ve got to show that America truly protects all faiths.
Which brings me to my next point: As we protect our country from terrorism, we should not reinforce the ideas and the rhetoric of the terrorists themselves. I often hear it said that we need moral clarity in this fight. And the suggestion is somehow that if I would simply say, these are all Islamic terrorists, then we would actually have solved the problem by now, apparently. (Laughter.) Well, I agree, we actually do need moral clarity. Let’s have some moral clarity. (Applause.)
Groups like ISIL are desperate for legitimacy. They try to portray themselves as religious leaders and holy warriors who speak for Islam. I refuse to give them legitimacy. We must never give them that legitimacy. (Applause.) They’re not defending Islam. They’re not defending Muslims. The vast majority of the people they kill are innocent Muslim men, women and children. (Applause.)
And, by the way, the notion that America is at war with Islam ignores the fact that the world’s religions are a part of who we are. We can’t be at war with any other religion because the world’s religions are a part of the very fabric of the United States, our national character. (Applause.)
So the best way for us to fight terrorism is to deny these organizations legitimacy and to show that here in the United States of America, we do not suppress Islam; we celebrate and lift up the success of Muslim Americans. That’s how we show the lie that they’re trying to propagate. (Applause.) We shouldn’t play into terrorist propaganda. And we can’t suggest that Islam itself is at the root of the problem. That betrays our values. It alienates Muslim Americans. It’s hurtful to those kids who are trying to go to school and are members of the Boy Scouts, and are thinking about joining our military.
That kind of mindset helps our enemies. It helps our enemies recruit. It makes us all less safe. So let’s be clear about that.
Now, finally, just as all Americans have a responsibility to reject discrimination -- I’ve said this before -- Muslims around the world have a responsibility to reject extremist ideologies that are trying to penetrate within Muslim communities.
Here at this mosque, and across our country and around the world, Muslim leaders are roundly and repeatedly and consistently condemning terrorism. And around the globe, Muslims who’ve dared to speak out have often been targeted and even killed. So those voices are there; we just have to amplify them more. (Applause.)
And it was interesting, in the discussion I had before I came out, some people said, why is there always a burden on us? When a young man in Charleston shoots African Americans in a church, there’s not an expectation that every white person in America suddenly is explaining that they’re not racist. They can Everybody is assumed to be horrified by that act. And I recognize that sometimes that doesn't feel fair.
But part of the answer is to make sure that the Muslim community in all of its variety, in all the good works that it’s doing, in all the talent that's on display, that it’s out there visible on a consistent basis -- not just at a certain moment. (Applause.)
But what is also true is, is that there is a battle of hearts and minds that takes place -- that is taking place right now, and American Muslims are better positioned than anybody to show that it is possible to be faithful to Islam and to be part of a pluralistic society, and to be on the cutting-edge of science, and to believe in democracy. (Applause.)
And so I would urge all of you not to see this as a burden, but as a great opportunity and a great privilege to show who you are. To use a little Christian expression -- let your light shine. Because when you do you’ll make clear that this is not a clash of civilizations between the West and Islam. This is a struggle between the peace-loving, overwhelming majority of Muslims around the world and a radical, tiny minority. And ultimately, I’m confident that the overwhelming majority will win that battle. (Applause.) Muslims will decide the future of your faith. And I’m confident in the direction that it will go.
But across the Islamic world, influential voices should consistently speak out with an affirmative vision of their faith. And it’s happening. These are the voices of Muslim clerics who teach that Islam prohibits terrorism, for the Koran says whoever kills an innocent, it is as if he has killed all mankind. (Applause.) These are the voices of Muslim scholars, some of whom join us today, who know Islam has a tradition of respect for other faiths; and Muslim teachers who point out that the first word revealed in the Koran -- igra -- means “read” -- to seek knowledge, to question assumptions. (Applause.)
Muslim political leaders have to push back on the lie that the West oppresses Muslims, and against conspiracy theories that says America is the cause of every ill in the Middle East. Now, that doesn't mean that Muslim Americans aren’t free to criticize American -- U.S. foreign policy. That's part of being an American. I promise you, as the President of the United States, I’m mindful that that is a healthy tradition that is alive and well in America. (Laughter.) But like leaders everywhere, these leaders have been offering, and need to continue to offer, a positive vision for progress, and that includes political and economic progress.
And we have to acknowledge that much of the violence in places like the Middle East is now turning into fights between sects -- Shia, Sunni and others -- where differences are often exploited to serve political agendas, as I said earlier. And this bloodshed is destroying Muslim families and communities, and there has to be global pressure to have the vision and the courage to end this kind of thinking and this approach to organizing political power.
It’s not historically unique. It’s happened in every part of the world -- from Northern Ireland to Africa, to Asia, to right here in the United States -- in the past. But it is something that we have to fight against.
And we know it’s possible. Across the history of Islam, different sects traditionally have lived and thrived together peacefully. And in many parts of the world they do today, including here in the United States.
Like people of all religions, Muslims living their faith in a modern, pluralistic world are called upon to uphold human rights, to make sure that everyone has opportunity. That includes the aspirations of women and youth and all people. If we expect our own dignity to be respected, so must we respect the dignity of others. (Applause.)
So let me conclude by saying that as Muslim communities stand up for the future that you believe in, that you exhibit in your daily lives, as you teach your children, America will be your partner. We will -- I will -- do everything I can to lift up the multiplicity of Muslim voices that promote pluralism and peace. (Applause.) We will continue to reach out to young Muslims around the world, empowering them with science and technology and entrepreneurship, so they can pursue their God-given potential, and help build up their communities and provide opportunity. It’s why we will continue to partner with Muslim American communities -- not just to help you protect against extremist threats, but to expand health care and education and opportunity -- (applause) -- because that’s the best way to build strong, resilient communities.
Our values must guide us in this work. Engagement with Muslim American communities must never be a cover for surveillance. (Applause.) We can’t give in to profiling entire groups of people. There’s no one single profile of terrorists. We can’t securitize our entire relationship with Muslim Americans. We can’t deal with you solely through the prism of law enforcement. We’ve got to build trust and mutual respect. That’s how we’ll keep our communities strong and our communities united.
As I was in discussion with the young people before I came in here, I said this will be a process. Law enforcement has a tough job. Some of these groups are specifically trying to target Muslim youth. We’re going to have to be partners in this process. There will be times where the relationship is clumsy or mishandled. But I want you to know that from the President to the FBI Director, to everybody in law enforcement, my directive and their understanding is, is that this is something we have to do together. And if we don’t do it well, then we’re actually not making ourselves safer; we’re making ourselves less safe.
And here, I want to speak directly to the young people who may be listening. In our lives, we all have many identities. We are sons and daughters, and brothers and sisters. We’re classmates; Cub Scout troop members. We’re followers of our faith. We’re citizens of our country. And today, there are voices in this world, particularly over the Internet, who are constantly claiming that you have to choose between your identities -- as a Muslim, for example, or an American. Do not believe them. If you’re ever wondering whether you fit in here, let me say it as clearly as I can, as President of the United States: You fit in here -- right here. (Applause.) You’re right where you belong. You’re part of America, too. (Applause.) You’re not Muslim or American. You’re Muslim and American. (Applause.)
Don’t grow cynical. Don’t respond to ignorance by embracing a world view that suggests you must choose between your faith and your patriotism. Don’t believe that you have to choose between your best impulses and somehow embrace a world view that pits us against each other -- or, even worse, glorifies violence. Understand your power to bring about change. Stay engaged in your community. Help move our country forward -- your country forward. (Applause.)
We are blessed to live in a nation where even if we sometimes stumble, even if we sometimes fall short, we never stop striving for our ideals. We keep moving closer to that more perfect union. We’re a country where, if you work hard and if you play by the rules, you can ultimately make it, no matter who you are or how you pray. It may not always start off even in the race, but here, more than any place else, there’s the opportunity to run that race.
And as we go forward, I want every Muslim American to remember you are not alone. Your fellow Americans stand with you -- just as Sabah described her friends after she decided that she was going to start wearing a hijab. That’s not unusual. Because just as so often we only hear about Muslims after a terrorist attack, so often we only hear about Americans’ response to Muslims after a hate crime has happened, we don’t always hear about the extraordinary respect and love and community that so many Americans feel.
I’m thinking about the seven-year-old boy in Texas who emptied his piggy bank to help a mosque that had been vandalized. (Applause.) Or all the faith communities that rallied around Muslim Americans after the tragedy in Chapel Hill. The churches and the synagogues standing shoulder-to-shoulder with their local mosques, including the woman carrying a sign saying “We love our Muslim neighbors.” Think of our men and women in uniform who, when they heard that a little girl was afraid because she’s a Muslim, sent her a message -- “I Will Protect You.” (Applause.)
I want every American to remember how Muslim communities are standing up for others, as well. Because right now, as we speak, there are Muslims in Kenya who saved Christians from terrorists, and Muslims who just met in Morocco to protect religious minorities, including Christians and Jews. (Applause.) The good people of this mosque helped this city move forward after the turmoil of last year. Muslim Americans across the country helped African American churches rebuild after arson.
Remember the Muslim Americans in Boston who reached out to victims of the Marathon bombing; the Muslim Americans across the country who raised money for the families of San Bernardino; the Muslim Americans in Chattanooga who honored our fallen servicemembers, one of them saying, “in the name of God, the God of Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, God bless our fallen heroes.” (Applause.)
We are one American family. We will rise and fall together. It won’t always be easy. There will be times where our worst impulses are given voice. But I believe that ultimately, our best voices will win out. And that gives me confidence and faith in the future. (Applause.)
After more than 200 years, our blended heritage, the patchwork quilt which is America, that is not a weakness, that is one of our greatest strengths. It’s what makes us a beacon to the world. It’s what led that mother who wrote to me -- the one who worries about her young daughter -- it led her to end her letter with hope, despite her fears. She said, “I still believe in one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” (Applause.)
May God's peace be upon you. May God bless the United States of America. Thank you very much, everybody. (Applause.)

Mixed-use would stand along Perimeter Center Parkway across from Dunwoody Station.
Developers want one mixed-use along Perimeter Center Parkway near Hammond Road to be the area's "urban lifestyle quarter."
More detailed renderings reveal what the project, called High Street Atlanta, could look like.
The large-scale project from GID Development was first announced at the beginning of last year, and drew attention when Bill Torpy of the AJC - whose offices would be leveled by the project - weighed in.
"A change is coming to Atlanta, one that everyone wants to be part of. Welcome to the city’s connected urban lifestyle quarter," the development's website boasts.
The website makes clear the developer's desire for the project to be associated with Atlanta's more urban areas, as images of people jogging at Piedmont Park and others enjoying coffee at Westside Provisions District are mixed into the renderings.
High Street would total to a large-scale 8 million square feet of development, including 400,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, 1 million square feet of office space, a 750 room hotel and 3,000 residential units, per GID's website. The project would also feature new streets, landscaped promenades, and a few parks and plazas.
Although the development would be located across from MARTA Dunwoody Station, 8,500 parking spots are included in the plans - not exactly music to the ears of commuters already stuck in traffic in the area.

CYF residence at 1 Will St, Abbotsford, Dunedin. Photo: ODT.
A Dunedin youth advocate has hit out at Child, Youth and Family after young offenders have been forced to spend time in police cells or been transferred to residences as far away as Auckland while Dunedin’s Will St home sits idle.
Barrister and youth advocate Brian Kilkelly said he and other youth advocates had been frustrated at the regularity with which youth offenders, those aged under 17, had spent time in police custody awaiting appearances in the Youth Court while Child, Youth and Family’s (CYF) Will St home, in Abbotsford, had been unused because caregivers had not been appointed to the facility.
"It’s something we have all been hammering away at for a long time, because we get stuck with young kids who need some sort of secure care with nowhere to go," he said.
"In the last 12 months we have kids sent there [police custody] quite regularly while Will St sits basically empty because they don’t have the staff to man it or the will to man it."
The alternative to police custody was the children being sent to one of CYF’s four youth justice residences in Christchurch, Palmerston North, Rotorua or Auckland.
The children were sent where a bed was available, he said.
"The sad thing about that is they are a considerable distance from their families," he said.
"That’s the situation we are in and it is unsatisfactory."
The situation came to a head last week when a 16-year-old who had already spent a night in police custody was set to spend another because CYF could not house him elsewhere.
However, a Youth Court judge intervened and placed the child into CYF custody, Mr Kilkelly said.
On that day, there were 10 other children awaiting placements in youth justice residences, he said.
"We don’t like it and police don’t like it," he said.
"It’s not a place to have a 14-year-old around or 15- or 16-year-olds. It’s not the place for them."
It was particularly frustrating as he had been provided no good reason why the Will St residence could not be opened and used to house children.
"The Will St residence needs to be open and no-one’s given me a damn good reason why it’s not," he said.
"It was a residence that was the envy of many in the country in my view.‘‘It’s a brilliant residence but it’s sitting there empty."
Child, Youth and Family Te Waipounamu regional director Theresa Perham said, in an emailed statement via a media adviser, the home was not in use as "we have been unable to recruit the right caregivers".
"When we have caregivers in place, we will use it to support our vulnerable young people," the statement said.
"In the specific case you have asked about there is no guarantee that, had the home been operating, it would have been an option for the young man."
The statement said the home was "last occupied in August this year".
Subsequent questions about when caregivers last operated the home and what was meant by it being occupied last month were met with the response that "it hasn’t been used for some time" and "it certainly hasn’t had permanent caregivers for some time".
A police spokeswoman said the 16-year-old was held in police custody after his bail was opposed.
As of Thursday last week, there were nine juveniles in police custody around the country, she said.
Child, Youth and Family youth justice support manager Phil Dinham said more short-term arrest placements had been taken into residences this year than in the past five years, reducing the use of police cells.
"However, in areas where access to a residence or alternative safe placement is not readily available, there remain times when a police cell is the best option to ensure community safety and that the young person will appear in court," he said.
The number of Youth Court cases had dropped dramatically in the past five years, from about 5000 in 2010 to under 2000 last year.
However, the number of young people remanded in custody had remained the same, he said.
"The overuse of custody is a concern and one that has been identified by the Expert Advisory Panel that reviewed CYF and is the subject of recommendations in their report ‘Expert Panel Final report: Investing in Children’," he said.
"Identifying community based alternatives to custodial remands is recommended as one of the early opportunities for the new children’s agency — the Ministry for Vulnerable Children, Oranga Tamariki — and there is exploratory work under way at present."
In the case of the 16-year-old, CYF social workers "worked closely with the courts and police to ensure this young person was well supported while in police custody", he said.
Mr Kilkelly sympathised with Dunedin CYF staff who were left in an undesirable situation while Will St remained unused.
"People in Dunedin are subject to what comes from Wellington," he said.
"It’s sitting out there, this wonderful residence in Abbotsford, empty."

These new teeth look, feel, and perform just like a regular tooth. Dental implants are changing the way our patients live. A person who has lost a tooth is able to regain the ability to eat with that tooth again. A dental implant appears completely natural and keeps your facial contours intact by preventing the bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing. An implant is one of the healthiest ways to replace a missing tooth. The Anatomy Of A Dental Implant There are three parts that make up a dental implant. The implant: a titanium screw, which is surgically placed into the patient’s jaw bone where the original tooth used to be The abutment: a small piece that insures a snug fit Crown: the top part of the tooth, which is attached to the implant and matches your natural teeth Come To Us With Your Dental Implant Questions Dental implants are very cost-effective and, if properly cared for, will last for many, many years. The process of placing a dental implant is simple and straightforward and is a regular treatment here at Dentistry of Old Town Scottsdale.

About
Dawn Sullivan is an eighteen year old mage who has always dreamed of following in the footsteps of her father Elijah, a master mage himself who is also a renowned private investigator. Realizing that his daughter’s never going to give that dream up anytime soon, he officially takes her under his wing as his partner. In this 48 page graphic novel, Dawn and Elijah work to solve the murder of Emma Stevens, a post-grad student who was found dead in her apartment. Throughout this arc, Dawn will also explore the depths of her abilities as they relate to solving cases but Elijah is always there to make sure those abilities don’t go too far. As a master mage, he is well aware of the potential darkness their abilities have and will be constantly keeping watch of Dawn to make sure she doesn't cross that line.
With your help, we can bring this project to life. All funds raised will go directly towards production costs (paying the artist and letterer) of the graphic novel, and any in excess of our funding goal will go towards marketing, and publishing, the book on various eBook outlets. For the foreseeable future, this will be the ONLY time a print version of this is available. We've got a range of rewards available on the side of the page, in a variety of pledge ranges, so be sure to take a look.
More importantly, check out this five page preview, written by me (Quinton Miles in case you forgot) with art by the great Oscar Celestini and letters by MaGnUs.

The ground tissue of plants includes all tissues that are neither dermal nor vascular . It can be divided into three types based on the nature of the cell walls.
The shape of parenchyma cells varies with their function. In the spongy mesophyll of a leaf, parenchyma cells range from near-spherical and loosely arranged with large intercellular spaces, [5] to branched or stellate , mutually interconnected with their neighbours at the ends of their arms to form a three-dimensional network, like in the red kidney bean Phaseolus vulgaris and other mesophytes . [6] These cells, along with the epidermal guard cells of the stoma , form a system of air spaces and chambers that regulate the exchange of gases. In some works the cells of the leaf epidermis are regarded as specialised parenchymal cells, [7] but the modern preference has long been to classify the epidermis as plant dermal tissue , and parenchyma as ground tissue. [8]
Parenchyma (; [2] [3] from Greek παρέγχυμα parenkhyma , "visceral flesh" from παρεγχεῖν parenkhein , "to pour in" from παρα- para- , "beside", ἐν en- , "in" and χεῖν khein , "to pour") [4] is a versatile ground tissue that generally constitutes the "filler" tissue in soft parts of plants. It forms, among other things, the cortex and pith of stems, the cortex of roots, the mesophyll of leaves, the pulp of fruits, and the endosperm of seeds . Parenchyma cells are living cells and may remain meristematic at maturity—meaning that they are capable of cell division if stimulated. They have thin and flexible cellulose cell walls , and are generally polyhedral when close-packed, but can be roughly spherical when isolated from their neighbours. They have large central vacuoles , which allow the cells to store and regulate ions , waste products, and water . Tissue specialised for food storage is commonly formed of parenchyma cells.
Collenchyma tissue is composed of elongated cells with irregularly thickened walls . They provide structural support, particularly in growing shoots and leaves . Collenchyma tissue makes up things such as the resilient strands in stalks of celery . Collenchyma cells are usually living, and have only a thick primary cell wall [12] made up of cellulose and pectin. Cell wall thickness is strongly affected by mechanical stress upon the plant. The walls of collenchyma in shaken plants (to mimic the effects of wind etc.), may be 40–100% thicker than those not shaken.
The first use of "collenchyma" ( [9] [10] ) was by Link (1837) who used it to describe the sticky substance on Bletia (Orchidaceae) pollen. Complaining about Link's excessive nomenclature, Schleiden (1839) stated mockingly that the term "collenchyma" could have more easily been used to describe elongated sub-epidermal cells with unevenly thickened cell walls. [11]
The term "sclerenchyma" (originally Sclerenchyma) was introduced by Mettenius in 1865.[13]
Sclerenchyma is the tissue which makes the plant hard and stiff. Sclerenchyma is the supporting tissue in plants. Two types of sclerenchyma cells exist: fibers and sclereids. Their cell walls consist of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. Sclerenchyma cells are the principal supporting cells in plant tissues that have ceased elongation. Sclerenchyma fibers are of great economic importance, since they constitute the source material for many fabrics (e.g. [flax]) hemp, jute, and ramie).
Unlike the collenchyma, mature sclerenchyma is composed of dead cells with extremely thick cell walls (secondary walls) that make up to 90% of the whole cell volume. The term sclerenchyma is derived from the Greek σκληρός (sklērós), meaning "hard." It is the hard, thick walls that make sclerenchyma cells important strengthening and supporting elements in plant parts that have ceased elongation. The difference between fibers and sclereids is not always clear: transitions do exist, sometimes even within the same plant.
Cross section of sclerenchyma fibers
Fibers or bast are generally long, slender, so-called prosenchymatous cells, usually occurring in strands or bundles. Such bundles or the totality of a stem's bundles are colloquially called fibers. Their high load-bearing capacity and the ease with which they can be processed has since antiquity made them the source material for a number of things, like ropes, fabrics and mattresses. The fibers of flax (Linum usitatissimum) have been known in Europe and Egypt for more than 3,000 years, those of hemp (Cannabis sativa) in China for just as long. These fibers, and those of jute (Corchorus capsularis) and ramie (Boehmeria nivea, a nettle), are extremely soft and elastic and are especially well suited for the processing to textiles. Their principal cell wall material is cellulose.
Contrasting are hard fibers that are mostly found in monocots. Typical examples are the fiber of many grasses, agaves (sisal: Agave sisalana), lilies (Yucca or Phormium tenax), Musa textilis and others. Their cell walls contain, besides cellulose, a high proportion of lignin. The load-bearing capacity of Phormium tenax is as high as 20–25 kg/mm², the same as that of good steel wire (25 kg/ mm²), but the fibre tears as soon as too great a strain is placed upon it, while the wire distorts and does not tear before a strain of 80 kg/mm². The thickening of a cell wall has been studied in Linum.[citation needed] Starting at the centre of the fiber, the thickening layers of the secondary wall are deposited one after the other. Growth at both tips of the cell leads to simultaneous elongation. During development the layers of secondary material seem like tubes, of which the outer one is always longer and older than the next. After completion of growth, the missing parts are supplemented, so that the wall is evenly thickened up to the tips of the fibers.
Fibers usually originate from meristematic tissues. Cambium and procambium are their main centers of production. They are usually associated with the xylem and phloem of the vascular bundles. The fibers of the xylem are always lignified, while those of the phloem are cellulosic. Reliable evidence for the fibre cells' evolutionary origin from tracheids exists.[citation needed] During evolution the strength of the tracheid cell walls was enhanced, the ability to conduct water was lost and the size of the pits was reduced. Fibers that do not belong to the xylem are bast (outside the ring of cambium) and such fibers that are arranged in characteristic patterns at different sites of the shoot.
Sclereids Edit

Sclereids are the reduced form of sclerenchyma cells with highly thickened, lignified walls.
They are small bundles of sclerenchyma tissue in plants that form durable layers, such as the cores of apples and the gritty texture of pears (Pyrus communis). Sclereids are variable in shape. The cells can be isodiametric, prosenchymatic, forked or elaborately branched. They can be grouped into bundles, can form complete tubes located at the periphery or can occur as single cells or small groups of cells within parenchyma tissues. But compared with most fibres, sclereids are relatively short. Characteristic examples are brachysclereids or the stone cells (called stone cells because of their hardness) of pears and quinces (Cydonia oblonga) and those of the shoot of the wax plant (Hoya carnosa). The cell walls fill nearly all the cell's volume. A layering of the walls and the existence of branched pits is clearly visible. Branched pits such as these are called ramiform pits. The shell of many seeds like those of nuts as well as the stones of drupes like cherries and plums are made up from sclereids.
These structures are used to protect other cells. | positive |

Elon University football’s winning streak snapped against James Madison - Elon News Network 66°F News Sports Lifestyle Opinions Politics In-Depth Elon University football’s winning streak snapped against James Madison Phoenix fall to 4-4 on the season in 45-21 conference road loss By Daniel Schulman | 10/30/21 11:43pm Photo by Lucas Casel | Elon News Network An Elon University football player during a game against the University of New Hampshire Oct. 10, 2021. Harrisonburg, VA — The Elon University football team saw its three-game win streak come to an end following a 45-21 loss to the James Madison University Dukes on Saturday, Oct. 30. The Phoenix traded scores early with the Dukes, who entered the week ranked fifth in the Football Championship Subdivision top 25 poll. The score was tied 14-14 a few minutes into the second quarter. However, James Madison pulled away from there and never looked back, as the Phoenix couldn’t keep up with the Dukes’ offensive firepower. Elon gained 287 total yards on offense, compared to JMU’s 457. The loss evens up Elon’s record at 4-4 on the season and 3-2 in Colonial Athletic Association games. Senior quarterback Davis Cheek had another strong game, completing 18 of 33 passes for 198 yards and two passing touchdowns. He also added a rushing touchdown. Elon’s biggest play of the day was on a 52 yard touchdown pass from Cheek to junior wide receiver Bryson Daughtry late in the first quarter. Senior wide receiver Kortez Weeks caught the other touchdown pass on a three yard completion. Seven Elon players caught passes, led by Daughtry, who had seven catches for a total of 112 yards and a touchdown. Next up for the Phoenix is a game against the Villanova University Wildcats on Saturday Nov. 6.

Fooch's Note: Paul Wulff is reportedly headed to University of South Florida, NOT Central Florida.
This is apparently flying entirely under the radar, but a source told the WSU Scout.com website that 49ers offensive assistant Paul Wulff is headed to the University of South Florida to take over as offensive coordinator. There is no word if he is already gone, or if he will depart when the playoffs end.
Wulff was first hired by the 49ers in May 2012 to serve as a "senior offensive assistant" to Jim Harbaugh. There were only limited details about his work with the 49ers. He had some offensive line experience so it is possible he focused in there, but we will probably never know the full details of his time with San Francisco.
Wulff's departure is the first of what could be multiple departures for a coaching staff that is pretty "hot" right now. (Fooch's Note: He's the second, as Tim Drevno left for USC) The 49ers are in the midst of their third straight playoff run, and at some point, there will be noticeable departures. In previous seasons they've lost some lower level guys. I don't know where Wulff would qualify on the food chain, but expect more to come. We know Greg Roman has interviewed with Penn State and reportedly, we know Washington and Minnesota have interest in him. We also know Vic Fangio and Jim Tomsula on radars as well.
This will get interesting in seeing how the 49ers replace coaches as they depart. If Roman ends up leaving for another job, the 49ers could promote Geep Chryst from QB coach. If they did that, then QB coach opens up. The team could also look externally to replace their OC if he departs. This applies at defensive coordinator as well. I think it's less likely that Fangio leaves, but if he did, I could see Ed Donatell getting an interview for the DC role. The team has been approached about him previously, but they have declined opportunities for him to interview for DC work. Again, if he were to move up, that opens up the secondary coach role.
Things are certainly getting just a little bit more interesting even as the 49ers face the tough task of winning in Carolina. Plenty more to come! | positive |
Image caption Iain Duncan Smith has been in negotiations with the Treasury ahead of the spending review
Welfare benefits for the unemployed and low paid could be brought together under a new universal credit system planned by the coalition government.
Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith said the reforms would simplify the welfare system, save money and ensure "work always pays".
The aim is to move everyone off the old benefits system over about 10 years.
The plans, to be put before Parliament in 2011, are likely to be a key issue at the Conservative Party conference.
The government says the proposals would represent the biggest reform of the welfare system in almost 70 years.
'Cycle of dependency'
Under them, claimants would get a single payment, instead of potentially several, separate payments as happens currently, which could be adapted as income changed, such as when people got back into work.
Disability living allowance would remain separate from "universal credit", with the new system allowing carers to take part-time or short-term work without losing their benefits, said ministers.
The changes are being brought in partly to tackle perceived long-term welfare dependency by unemployed people, with some saying they are better off on benefits than working.
Under the universal credit system, claimants could continue to receive some benefit payments when they got back into work - meaning they might be less likely to reject low-paid or short-term jobs.
The government said that compared with the current system, people could earn more before they started losing benefits.
The amount would taper off as their earnings increased.
Analysis Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith will go to the Conservative Party conference in Birmingham delighted he has achieved a major victory in getting the Treasury to back the plan. He has managed to get them to give his department extra money now - while almost everyone else will get less. That's because the plan will cost more initially as claimants retain some of their benefits when they go back to work. Mr Duncan Smith is convinced that to reap the financial and social gains of fewer people reliant on benefit, the government must "invest" in his new universal credit now. Overhauling the benefit system is likely to take at least a decade, but George Osborne will want to see evidence that that extra up front money is bearing fruit a lot sooner than that.
Mr Duncan Smith said: "We will break the cycle of dependency and poverty that has become so entrenched in our poorest communities. We must turn entrapment into aspiration, dependency into contribution, and poverty into growth."
Welfare reform is key to plans to cut the UK's deficit, but has been the source of reported tension between ministers.
The issue is likely to be a key subject of debate when the Conservatives meet for their annual conference in Birmingham on Sunday.
Chancellor George Osborne and Mr Duncan Smith said they had now agreed on an "affordable investment package" to reform the welfare system, which they said was "broken, wildly expensive and often traps the very people it is meant to help".
Mr Osborne had signalled that he wanted billions of pounds worth of welfare cuts as part of the government's imminent spending review - on top of £11bn outlined in June's Budget.
It is understood Mr Duncan Smith fought hard within government to replace the current system of benefits - including jobseeker's allowance, housing benefit, income support and employment support allowance - with the single universal payment.
However no further details have yet been given of exactly how the reforms will be funded.
Universal credit will use pay-as-you-earn (PAYE) tax data to make it easier to calculate what people are entitled to. This would also reduce the cost of fraud and error, said the government.
In moving everyone to the new system, they said they would "prioritise those who need help most".
"The Department for Work and Pensions and Treasury have worked hard to make sure that there will be no losers as a result of the migration plan," said a statement.
The reforms will be introduced in a White Paper in the autumn, and then put to Parliament in a welfare reform bill next year.
The government said the new scheme, combined with its Work Programme, would also see unemployed people getting more personalised support to get them back into work.
Any scheme to ensure that work pays is to be welcome Ian Cheese Send us your comments
Mr Duncan Smith added: "To those that have been marginalised and abandoned to a life on benefits by Labour I say: 'We will get you back into work and in control of your life'. For the most vulnerable I say: 'We will protect you'.
"And to the taxpayer I say: 'Here is true value for money, a system that invests in you and supports you in your time of need but expects everyone in society to contribute and will no longer allow anyone to choose a life on benefits'."
Parties together
BBC political correspondent Robin Brant earlier said the plans were probably the "most significant reform" of the coalition so far.
Some savings are already being made through restrictions in payments such as housing benefit, but the overall cost to the government is initially expected to rise after the changes are brought in as people return to work and retain some financial assistance.
There are no specific details on how long it will take for the savings to be realised but it is likely to be 10-15 years, our correspondent added.
Carl Emmerson, from the Institute for Fiscal Studies, warned that the new system could potentially lead to some people losing money.
"Most people receiving out-of-work benefits are, by definition, in the bottom half of the income distribution," he said.
"So if they have their benefits reduced or taken away and they don't respond by moving into work, they will be... worse off and clearly the gap between their incomes and the incomes of those who are in work would widen."
Labour MP Frank Field, who is the government's poverty tsar, has said he hopes the political parties will work together to make any reforms work for the long-term benefit of the country. | positive |

John Bredeson leaned back on a wooden bench Friday afternoon and surveyed the courtroom. Family and friends were seated in front of him. Beyond them, six bailiffs waited for Craig Wall, the man who killed Bredeson's daughter, Laura Taft, and his grandson, to enter the room.
"It's been a long road," Bredeson said moments before Wall stood in front of Pinellas Circuit Judge Philip Federico for his sentence: death penalty on both counts of first-degree murder.
"I conclude that you, Mr. Wall, under the laws of the state of Florida, have forfeited your right to live," Federico said.
"Woo hoo!" Wall, 41, quipped. He has said repeatedly in court that he wants to be executed.
His sentence concludes a case that has spiraled through the court system for years.
It began in 2008, when Wall met Taft, 29, after getting out of prison following a 14-year sentence for armed robbery, grand theft motor vehicle and armed burglary. Their baby, Craig Wall Jr., was born Dec. 30, 2009.
When Taft returned to work, Wall stayed home to care for their son. Five weeks later, the boy went into cardiac arrest and died at a local hospital.
When Wall was arrested a few days later on a charge of violating a domestic violence injunction, the arrest affidavit noted that he was a suspect in his baby's death, but that fact was never mentioned in court and he was released on $1,000 bail. The State Attorney's Office later acknowledged the case was mishandled. One of the prosecutors was reassigned.
A day after getting out of jail in February 2010, Wall broke the sliding glass door of Taft's Clearwater apartment at 3 a.m., entered with a large "assault style" knife and stabbed her to death. Neighbors heard her cries for help and called 911. Taft's older son, Connor Taft, was 5 years old when she died.
"Laura was a wonderful person," said her mother, Rhonda Lyon-Buttita, on Friday. "She was very loving, very caring. She was a good mom. She just got mixed up with the wrong man. She didn't deserve to die."
During the sentencing, Lyon-Buttita and her loved ones wore pins printed with a photo of Taft holding her newborn son as she rested on a couch. The family does not have many photographs of the mother and son together, Lyon-Buttita said.
Wall, who pleaded guilty last year to killing Taft and no contest to killing their child, has said through the years that he wanted a spot on death row.
When Federico, the judge, said in court Friday that his case would undergo an automatic review by the Florida Supreme Court, Wall raised his voice.
"The system is corrupt. They're going to force my name on something against my will," he said. "As Donald Trump would say, 'This is complete utter corruption in this system.' "
Wall also asked Federico to watch his execution since he sentenced him to die. The judge said he'd consider Wall's request.
Assistant State Attorney Kendall Davidson said he believed the death penalty is the "appropriate sentence." Wall's knowledge of the law set him apart from other defendants in recent years, Davidson added. Wall also represented himself in recent months.
"He's pretty different. He's, I think, a lot more self legally educated," Davidson said. "His arguments are normally based on some sort of a legal precedent."
The case was delayed for six years, he explained, partly because Wall had different attorneys through the years.
Typically, during the penalty phase of a case, prosecutors present evidence in favor of the defendant's execution, called aggravating factors, and defense attorneys present evidence against the death penalty, like childhood trauma or mental health history, called mitigating factors.
But when Wall was allowed to represent himself, the judge assigned an independent counsel to present mitigating evidence on Wall's behalf since he declined to do that.
"That caused a pretty significant delay because the independent counsel had to start from scratch," Davidson said.
Bjorn Brunvand, Wall's defense attorney, said he planned to withdraw from the case. Personally, he added, he does not believe in the death penalty and called it "barbaric."
Federico's sentencing order detailed the aggravating and mitigating factors he considered in his decision. Among them was Wall's childhood trauma, from being mistreated by his mother to attending the Dozier School for Boys, which has been under scrutiny for abuse of its students.
"I think (Wall) is someone who has had a difficult life," Brunvand said. "In many ways, I feel sorry for Mr. Wall."
After Wall left the courtroom, Taft's mother embraced the loved ones surrounding her.
"It's a roller coaster ride," she said moments later. "But we are finally getting justice."

Ph.0400738804 Off The Bus! Welcome to my Education Blog Why Off The Bus? Jim Collins (in his book Good to Great), describes leaders as being like bus drivers. Their job is to get the right people on the bus, the wrong people off the bus, and the right people in the right seats. After sitting amongst teaching colleagues on that school bus for so many years, I decided to ask the boss to stop, so that I could get off and walk a different path.

Prime minister-designate Justin Trudeau is expected to appoint new ambassadors to a number of key diplomatic postings in the coming weeks and months, as he moves to distinguish his government’s foreign policy from a decade of Conservative relations with the world.
Former Manitoba premier Gary Doer confirmed this week that his term as Canadian ambassador to Washington is coming to an end after six years. That leaves Trudeau, who has promised a fresh start in relations with the United States after a diplomatic chill over the Keystone XL pipeline, with a big hole to fill.
New ambassadors in London, Paris and Tel Aviv are among those likely to follow: Each post is currently occupied by a political ally of outgoing Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
Career diplomats have traditionally filled most of these top posts, and the union representing Canada’s 1,500 professional foreign service officers is hoping Trudeau will return to that practice.
“The pattern does suggest there has been an increasing number of political appointments to ambassadorial positions,” said Timothy Hodges, president of the Professional Association of Foreign Service Officers. But he said career diplomats have much to offer. “Virtually every outgoing head of mission has decades of experience, and often much more in terms of honing their craft and developing their expertise.”
Still, Trudeau could follow Harper’s lead in appointing political heavyweights. Here are some of the key ambassadorial posts that Trudeau is expected to fill over the next months, and examples of the type of political appointee who might be tapped for the task if the Liberal government opts for such an approach.
The United States
Current ambassador: Former Manitoba premier Gary Doer
Date appointed: October 2009
The Canadian Embassy in Washington is by far this country’s most important diplomatic mission. Despite his political savvy, strong relationship with U.S. governors and NDP background, Doer was unable to persuade the Obama administration to approve the Keystone XL pipeline, or stop the pipeline argument from souring the bilateral relationship between the two countries’ leaders.
Whoever replaces Doer will be forced to walk a fine line as Trudeau has promised to improve relations with the White House while also supporting Keystone. The Liberals want to accomplish this by promising action on climate change.
Possible appointment: Trudeau will need someone of considerable political and diplomatic skill, such as former interim Liberal leader Bob Rae, to pull it off. Rae’s father, Saul Rae, was a renowned career diplomat.
United Kingdom
Current ambassador: Former B.C. premier Gordon Campbell
Date appointed: September 2011
Relations between Ottawa and London have grown in recent years thanks to a warm friendship between Harper and British Prime Minister David Cameron. The two Conservative leaders share a similar view of the world that translated into close co-operation on global security issues, trade and at the United Nations.
Possible appointment: It’s unlikely Trudeau will be able to replicate that close relationship with Cameron. However, appointing someone such as former Liberal cabinet minister John Manley, a pro-business Liberal who is also hawkish on security issues, could offset some potential differences between the two governments.
France
Current ambassador: Former Conservative minister Lawrence Cannon
Date appointed: May 2012
Canada and France have worked closely to promote free trade as well as fighting terrorism and the Islamic State, but the two have been at loggerheads on the climate change file. French President François Hollande has said he hopes that will change at this year’s crucial UN climate talks in Paris.
Before Cannon, the last non-professional diplomat appointed to Paris was Lucien Bouchard in 1985.
Possible appointment: Former Quebec premier Jean Charest would be an obvious choice as ambassador given his role in the Canada-EU free trade talks, his calls for action on climate change, and the fact he has family in France. (It would also keep him out of any Conservative leadership race, though he has already indicated he is not running.)
Israel
Current ambassador: Toronto lawyer Vivian Bercovici
Date appointed: January 2014
Bercovici was the first non-diplomat appointed to represent Canada in Tel Aviv since Brian Mulroney’s chief of staff, Norman Spector, and former Liberal MP David Berger held the post at different times in the 1990s. Her appointment was criticized by some who felt she was too pro-Israel.
Possible appointment: The Israeli-Palestinian file is particularly tricky and some Jewish commentators are worried about how Trudeau will approach it. Appointing someone such as former Liberal minister Irwin Cotler, whose human rights credentials are globally respected, would send a strong signal about the enduring relationship between the two countries.
United Nations
Current ambassador: Career diplomat Guillermo Rishchynski
Date appointed: August 2011
Trudeau has promised renewed leadership at the UN after the Conservatives spent the past decade largely ignoring the world body. Canada’s ambassador to the UN has typically been a career diplomat, but appointing an eminent Canadian, as Mulroney did with Stephen Lewis in the 1980s, would also signal serious intent.

Welcome to Elijahland: The Second Thought skip to main | skip to sidebar Sunday, July 5, 2009 The Second Thought When Elijah accomplishes something new, my first thought is overwhelming joy. My second thought is usually full of fear and grief. When Elijah crawled, I was on cloud nine for about a week…and then I started to wonder if he'd ever be able to walk. Elijah's first steps were so amazing. I was beyond thrilled. I knew how miraculous his steps were. My second thought was, "Will he ever learn how to read?" It's kind of irrational, isn't it? Recently, Elijah learned how to play peek-a-boo with a wash cloth. It's so incredibly cute and so exciting to see him interacting with us in this way (I hope to post a video of it soon). But, my second thought was, "A six month old can do this." I'm actually ashamed to admit these second thoughts, but I think it's important to share. The highs and lows of parenting a child with special needs are intense. When you don't know what your child will be able to accomplish, each and every obstacle they overcome is thrilling and amazing. But, there is also a deep sadness – a grief over what they should be doing. We, of course, love and accept Elijah for who he is. But, like all parents, we will continue to push him to be his best self. I hope someday my second thoughts won't be thoughts of fear over the abyss that lies ahead, but instead – something like, "Hmm, I wonder what I'm going to make for dinner." I hope at some point I can embrace my joy without having it wrapped up in grief. Somehow, I'm not sure if that is possible. But, then again, my second thought is that anything is possible. Tweet Posted by Lisa at 7:00 AM 3 comments: Anonymous said... Lisa, As a Grandmom I can say that your children are always a part of you. That is something you never lose. When they hurt, you hurt. Being the mother of a child with special needs brings more worries because of the unknown future - as you said. You and Andy are doing a wonderful job of parenting Elijah. AND Elijah is a very determined young man. We are all here to encourage and help as we can. Love you, Mom July 6, 2009 at 11:40 AM Ellen Seidman said... Oh, Lisa. I know JUST how you are feeling, because that is exactly how I felt with all of Max's accomplishments in the early years. Bittersweet, they often were. And not the least bit irrational; how can you not always look to the future when you have a child who's got a black developmental cloud hanging over his head? BUT, here's the thing, and this I promise you: you will stop feeling this way. As Elijah continues to grow and do more and more, you will stop grieving and instead just appreciate, and accept. I promise. Elijah very much reminds me of Max--his brightness, his determination. Oh, and yeah, the cuteness! July 6, 2009 at 9:40 PM Lisa said... Thanks mom, I love you! And Ellen, you made me cry...in a good way of course. I know you know how I feel - which means a lot. You and Max are an inspiration to me. August 6, 2009 at 11:42 PM Post a Comment Newer Post Older Post Home Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom) About Elijahland This is a story of overcoming the odds, putting trust in God, and the miracle of prayer. Our son, Elijah, was born in August of 2007. As a result of the oxygen deprivation that occured during his birth he spent his first three (agonizing) weeks in the hospital. When he was seven days old, we were told that Elijah had "severe brain damage" on both sides of his brain. At that moment we entered Elijahland and we've been here ever since. We're learning to live with the diagnoses Elijah has started to accumulate, but mostly we're grateful that God chose us to be his parents. It is truly a privilege to live in Elijahland with our handsome boy.

Assuming the Association says no, Bennett will have two primary options for getting around the agreement. First, he can go to court and seek a declaratory judgment that states that the "confidentiality" provision is unconscionable, and against public policy, and thus cannot be enforced in the current circumstances. Or, Bennett can simply have his client speak out, technically breach the contract, and then make a similar argument on defense if the Association has the gall to sue the woman for defending her own honor. (Memo to Herman Cain: please don't sing at your deposition).
Whatever "confidentiality" the agreement contemplated, Bennett would tell a judge, it didn't contemplate silencing his client from responding to public comments made by the person allegedly responsible for the problem (and the underlying settlement) in the first place. There is no way to know for sure whether this argument would work -- at a minimum we would need to see the specific language of the Association's settlement agreement -- and courts generally are reluctant to declare contracts unconscionable. But there is a clear legal path to allowing the woman to at least make the argument to a judge.
And there also are several obvious questions we would need to answer. Is Cain an intended third-party beneficiary of the confidentiality provision? Would he be entitled to monetary damages if the woman breaches the contract? And precisely what would those damages be? Would the Association get its $35,000 back? What about Cain? Moreover, just as Bennett could go to court seeking a ruling that blocks the confidentiality provision, the Association could go to court seeking an injunction enforcing it. And if the woman spoke after such an injunction was issued she'd presumably be in contempt of court.
Here from Section 178 of the Restatement (Second) of Contracts is the black-letter law often used when it comes to these sorts of disputes. This is a general standard many judges would apply in determining whether to preclude enforcement of the confidentiality provision in the agreement and I include it here just to give you a sense of what sorts of issues the lawyers now are likely evaluating in this dispute:
Restatement (Second) of Contracts § 178 (1981). § 178. When A Term Is Unenforceable On Grounds Of Public Policy (1) A promise or other term of an agreement is unenforceable on grounds of public policy if legislation provides that it is unenforceable or the interest in its enforcement is clearly outweighed in the circumstances by a public policy against the enforcement of such terms. (2) In weighing the interest in the enforcement of a term, account is taken of (2) In weighing the interest in the enforcement of a term, account is taken of (a) the parties justified expectations, (b) any forfeiture that would result if enforcement were denied, and (c) any special public interest in the enforcement of the particular term. (3) In weighing a public policy against enforcement of a term, account is taken of (3) In weighing a public policy against enforcement of a term, account is taken of (a) the strength of that policy as manifested by legislation or judicial decisions, (b) the likelihood that a refusal to enforce the term will further that policy, (c) the seriousness of any misconduct involved and the extent to which it was deliberate, and (d) the directness of the connection between that misconduct and the term.
There may be other legal options as well -- and if there are I hope readers will chime in with their own ideas. In the meantime, in case you are wondering, I haven't seen anything so far to suggest that Cain himself could get the Association to waive the provision. So he gets to take his shots at this woman, and proactively deny her story, while hiding behind the protections contained in the Association's contract. It's despicable. It's unfair.

Even though she was one of the people I was most worried about during the pandemic, it turns out she's doing better than anyone else I've talked to. We talk about what it's like to see the rest of the world conform to her everyday life, her MS and how the lack of day-to-day errands has reduced its toll on her, the progress she's making on her next book, why she chose to bail on comics festivals last year, shifting her coffee-dates with friends to Zoom, how she stays grateful for little things, and more.

For one police officer, will the ninth strike mean he's out?
This time around, Sgt. German Bosque—who has been fired eight times from three different police departments—has been charged with leaving his assault weapon with his girlfriend’s father, a trained security guard, while on an eight-day leave, according to CBS4 Miami.
That’s a no-no, says the Opa-locka Police Department, which presented its case to dismiss him in front of an arbitration officer on Wednesday.
The station, which covered Bosque's hearing, spoke with City Attorney Joe Geller, who said, "We’re here on a very simple matter. It’s going to be up to the arbitrator. We think what the officer did was wrong.”
Geller is arguing that Bosque violated the department’s policy that an officer’s weapon should be secured at all times.
But like the Terminator, Bosque has a history of coming back: He's the most fired, fined and disciplined officer in the state, according to CBS4.
The Miami cop has managed to return to his post despite his alleged vices. The Miami Herald reports Bosque has beaten back a long list of head-turning charges, including:
- busting the skull of a handcuffed suspect
- beating juveniles
- having dope and booze in his squad car
- ripping off suspects
- falsifying reports
- participating in an unauthorized chase where four people were killed
- calling in sick … from Cancun
“It’s allegations. Allegations are not convictions,” said Bosque’s union-provided attorney, Andrew Axelrad. “We have a system in place, and that system is a fair system.”
To hear Bosque tell it, he just loves his job. “I love serving the community. I love what I do for a living, and I’m very proud,” he said. | positive |
The Google Art Project announced an expansion Tuesday that provides a virtual tour of the public rooms of the White House.
Now, virtual tours of the White House are handy with the Google Art Project. Here the White House is awash with color for British Prime Minister David Cameron. (Susan Walsh/AP)
Starting Tuesday, a visitor can travel through the foyer of the White House, learn every detail about portraits, floor plans and chandeliers, and then zoom through a formal room to get a view of the Rose Garden.
Above is a video showing how the Google team created the White House tour.
The administration has endorsed this virtual tour, which represents the White House with 139 paintings, sculpture and pieces of furniture. The administration said that since the inauguration of President Obama some 2.5 million people have visited the Executive Mansion for a number of meetings and events.
In a statement, first lady Michelle Obama emphasized that the White House belongs to the people. “Thousands of people have walked these halls and gazed at the artwork. They’ve examined the portraits of Washington, Lincoln, and Kennedy. They’ve imagined the history that’s unfolded here. And now you can do all of that without leaving your home,” Obama said. “Because after all, this is your house, too.”
Also included in the project are the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the National Gallery of Art, the National Portrait Gallery, the Freer Gallery of Art and the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum.
Museums from around the world, including Versailles, are also part of the art tour. | positive |

Battle of Midway
One of the most important naval battles in the Pacific Theater of World War 2, the Battle of Midway took place between June 4th and June 7th 1942 between the United States Navy and the Japanese Imperial Navy. The battle took place centering around waters near the Midway Atoll – a tiny atoll roughly equidistant from Asia and the United States, or “midway” between the continents, just northwest of the Hawaiian archipelago.
Hoping to remove the United States as a major naval power from the Pacific Ocean, the Japanese operations sought to destroy, disable or capture strategic U.S. naval installations throughout the pacific. Just six months after their infamous attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese laid the plans for attack which would precipitate the Battle of Midway.
The Japanese aim involved luring U.S. aircraft carriers into a trap from which they would have no recourse – to this end, the admirals devised a plan to deceive the U.S. Navy about the size of the Japanese fleet, allowing them to believe far fewer ships were on advance than truly were. By careful positioning and timing, the Japanese hoped to lead the U.S. ships into a compromised position before revealing the true strength of their fleet once it was too late for a U.S. recovery.
Unbeknownst to the Japanese command, U.S. intelligence had compromised the main Japanese naval code used for their communications. Having cracked the code and thereby being able to intercept and decode every transmission, U.S. intelligence became privy to the Japanese plan to deceive and attack Midway.
Having set up their own ambush thanks to advanced warning, U.S. forces managed a decisive victory at the Battle of Midway. In the end, the Japanese lost four aircraft carriers as well as a heavy cruiser – extremely substantial losses – and only managed to sink one American aircraft carrier and a single destroyer.
Oft-cited as the “turning point in the Pacific” and many other similar titles, the Battle of Midway represents the first major Allied victory against the Japanese in the Pacific. However, the Japanese would continue to seize and attack territories within the Pacific for many months to come, before Allied naval supremacy came to fully dominate.

HOUSTON (CBS Houston) – While investigating Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, NCAA investigators were made aware of a “client list” involving numerous college football stars and the same memorabilia brokers involved with Manziel, Sports Radio 610 has learned.
The nature of those relationships was unclear, as was how the NCAA was made aware of the list. But a source close to key figures in the case said multiple notable players who have starred in the game over the past decade were found to have had contact with the same brokers involved in the Manziel case.
The star-studded “client list” goes back as far as 2004, according to the source, and might have rocked the NCAA’s world — especially if the NCAA ruled Manziel ineligible despite no evidence that he accepted money for autographs.
The source said prominent names from virtually every major football conference were found to have had a relationship at some level with the brokers.
The NCAA hence was faced with the prospect of damning evidence involving widespread alleged improprieties perhaps becoming public. It would have been the latest of the NCAA’s numerous embarrassing moments and might have forced the NCAA to rule on numerous cases that spanned several years similar to Manziel’s.
By rule, players can be ruled ineligible retroactively and wins and championships can be vacated. The breadth of potential changes to the record book might have been staggering.
With no evidence that Manziel accepted money for signing memorabilia, the NCAA ruled Wednesday that Manziel must sit out the first-half of Saturday’s game against Rice for violating Rule 12.5.2.2. That rule requires student-athletes to take steps to avoid the sale of items bearing their names or likenesses for commercial purposes.
In a joint statement, Texas A&M and the NCAA announced Wednesday, as first reported by Sports Radio 610, that the case is closed and Manziel’s half-game suspension was, “Due to an inadvertent violation regarding the signing of certain autographs.” | positive |

(Tigo Sports/Twitter) Jersey Number: 3 Hometown: Apartadó, Colombia Position: Defender Age: 22 Former club: Club Guarani Background Jhohan is #VERDE! 🌳 Welcome to Austin FC, Jhohan Romaña! pic.twitter.com/RWHPBbnu4A — Austin FC (@AustinFC) December 22, 2020 When Austin FC sent two of its first signees, Rodney Redes and Cecilio Dominguez, to Club Guarani on loan, they weren't expecting to pick up a new teammate along the way. Enter Jhohan Romaña, a young center back whose aerial tricks and athleticism took them by surprise. By December 2020, Romaña joined the ranks alongside Redes and Dominguez. He was headed to Austin. "It was a very beautiful moment for me," Romaña said. "This is something I was looking for for a long time. Being here changes your life." Before signing with ATXFC, Romaña was the starting center back for Guarani, making 30 appearances with the club in the 2019-20 season. Romaña's lone goal with the club came in the 2020 CONMEBOL Copa Libertadores, where he made 12 appearances and 11 starts for the team. With Redes and Dominguez by his side, Romaña helped the team to the finals of the Copa Libertadores, which is South America's highest level of futbol competition. Prior to Guarani, Romaña spent the 2016-18 seasons with Independiente Medellin, the six-time Colombian Championship team. Romaña started in both appearances with Medellin and helped the club win the 2016 Torneo Apertura, a Latin American futbol tournament. With Austin FC Taking it one step at a time. Back on the field this Saturday for #COLvATX. pic.twitter.com/dYdUQAsXyH — Austin FC (@AustinFC) April 23, 2021 Romaña seemed to struggle with adapting to his newest league in preseason, but his confidence came back in full swing when he started in Austin FC's inaugural match and again against Denver. "He's obviously got a nice physical presence and athleticism," Head Coach Josh Wolff said. "I love that he grinded and hung in there (against LAFC)... He had some very good moments." At 6'1 and 224 pounds, Romaña's physical presence is easily made on the pitch. Even as one of the largest and strongest members of the team, it's his agility and aerial skills that set him above the rest. In preseason, it was Romaña's confidence, not his skill set, that kept him from realizing his potential. "It's taking time, but he's learning," Wolff said. "It's a new challenge. It's a new environment and our opponents look very different so far." Romaña is one of five starters who made their MLS debut against LAFC, and at 22, he's among the youngest. Romaña's spot at center back is secured for now, and if he stays at the level he played at LAFC, he could have the position for good. However, veteran Julio Cascante will keep him competing for the starting spot throughout the season. As the most inexperienced player on the back line, Romaña gets the unique opportunity to play alongside experienced players including former Kansas City captain Matt Besler, Nick Lima and Ben Sweat. Even with the language barrier, Romaña said Besler and goalkeeper Brad Stuver, who speaks a little bit of Spanish, work to keep him in the loop during practices and games. They've even come up with sign language gestures to make sure everyone's on the same page. "Besler is a player with a lot of experience, he's really good," Romaña said. "Sometimes it's difficult for me in terms of the language, but we try to complement each other the best way we can." Off the pitch (Jhohan Romana/Instagram) A native of Apartadó, Colombia, Romaña has now played in three countries. He's played alongside Redes and Dominguez in two of those nations, something that Romaña says makes them close on and off the pitch. "I think Cecilio and Rodney are excellent players," Romaña said. "They're really good and we know each other very well. For me personally, it's really good because I know how they move. We interact with each other very well, and that makes the interaction and the overall performance much easier. Eventually, Romana wants to tack on another continent and play in Europe, though he's very satisfied with the MLS so far. "I've always wanted to watch Major League Soccer matches, (so) when my agent told me that being here was a possibility, (it was) a very beautiful, challenge for me," Romaña said. "This is definitely a step closer to going to Europe, and I'm so far thrilled to be here. The infrastructure that you see here, the facilities you see here, that's something that I'm very pleased to see." For now, however, Austin is home for Romaña, and he's excited to explore the Texas Capitol as he adjusts to his new city. "It's truly a blessing for me to be able to arrive to Austin," Romaña said. "I feel very happy. This is a wonderful and beautiful city. And obviously I hope later on the road I can get to know a little bit more of Austin. I haven't been able to go out as much, but I really hope that I can in the future."

To anyone trying to get on the "housing ladder," it's been a discouraging couple of years as prices skyrocketed in a market crowded with buyers bidding against each other for just about any available home. Things may be calming down, with the Austin Board of REALTORS reporting fewer sales and more available homes this summer. Mortgage rates have more than doubled in the last year, from around 3% to well over 6% on a 30-year fixed rate loan, getting even more of a bump this week after the Federal Reserve raised bank rates on Wednesday. So how affordable are homes right now? That, of course, depends on what you want and how much you're able or willing to pay, but here are some rough estimates of what a typical buyer would pay to buy a $650,000 home, which would be considered "mid-price" in today's market. Mortgage banker Chris Holland (NMLS 211033) of Austin's Sente Mortgage ran some numbers for Austonia to illustrate a typical purchase. Holland says that while the 30-year fixed rate mortgage is often mentioned in the media, the most popular loan that he's seeing now is a 7/1 adjustable rate mortgage, which has a fixed rate for 7 years and then adjusts every year based on market rates, with a limit on how much it can increase each year. The interest is amortized over a 30-year period. Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs) offer lower rates than fixed rate loans. Here are the numbers, which are examples. In practice, exact numbers vary with a buyer's credit rating and overall financial situation, and with the rate, which can move up or down at any time. $650,000 home purchase price 7/1 ARM at 5.875% 5% down payment, equals $32,500 95% financed, equals $617,500 $4,990 payment, including principle and interest (P&I), insurance, and property tax Typically, a borrower's debt to income ratio needs to be at or below 45%. So for this mortgage, a borrower, or borrowers, would need income of roughly $11,100/month, or $133,200/year. That number could be higher, depending on the buyer's outstanding credit balances on things like credit cards and car loans. Not included are closing costs, moving costs, maintenance, and any changes a new buyer might want to make to the home. Holland says he's had a lot of clients approved for loans who were house hunting but have put that on hold, hoping prices come down.

In Symfony applications, security listeners are used by firewalls to handle the security mechanisms configured, such as the Remember Me feature or the User Impersonation feature.
Some of these listeners are quite complex and require lots of dependencies (for example, the User Impersonation listener has nine constructor arguments). The main firewall listener iterates through all the configured listeners until one of them returns a Response object. In practice this means that most listeners are never executed even if they have been initialized.
In Symfony 3.4 we improved the security listeners to be lazy loaded. This means that only the executed listeners are initialized, slightly improving the overall performance. This improvement is automatically applied when you upgrade to Symfony 3.4, so you don't have to make any change in your application. | positive |

A New York City day camp was abruptly canceled without explanation, and parents are trying to find out what happened to the camp and their money as they scramble to find alternate childcare arrangements for their kids. Ida Siegal reports. (Published Tuesday, July 8, 2014)
A New York City day camp was abruptly canceled, leaving parents without an explanation and their tuition money as they scramble to find alternate childcare arrangements for their kids.
The Empire Day Camp operating out of the Ella Baker School on the Upper East Side was supposed to open on Monday, but families arrived to find a sign saying it was closed. Parents trying to get answers couldn't reach any administrators.
"I can't reach anyone from the camp, my money has not been refunded, and my son is pretty much stranded," said one parent.
Felicia Pezold said she'd been counting on the camp to keep her child safe and occupied while she worked each day.
NYC Summer Camp Unexpectedly Closes
Parents expecting to drop their kids off at Empire Day Camp on Monday got an unwelcomed surprise. On what should have been opening day, the place was empty. Michael George reports. (Published Monday, July 7, 2014)
"That was her activity for the summer, and now that money's gone," she said.
Pezold paid between $2,300 and $2,400 for the summer day camp. Another parent, Rosa Striano, paid more than $3,500 for four weeks of camp for her two daughters.
"I have two girls who have no summer plans now," said Striano. "Thankfully, we have a big family who's helping us, but other camps are also full right now."
Empire's founder and former director Kinya Trotman died in March, but its camp and afterschool program continued, according to former employees, who say they have also been left in the lurch. They say Trotman's teenage son Kyree took over, but things deteriorated quickly.
"Once he took over the company, that's when things started going downhill. Checks started bouncing," said camp counselor Brandi Sampson.
Sampson said Kyree sent a letter at the end of June announcing the program was closing. When she asked about her last paycheck, Kyree called her "yelling and cursing, 'Don't ever call me again, stop texting me. As of today, there's no check,'" according to Sampson.
A person at an address listed for Kyree Trotman answered from behind the door but refused to speak to NBC 4 New York.
Administrators at the Ella Baker School, which has no affiliation with Empire Camp, would not comment to NBC 4 New York, but parents said they sent them a letter saying they could not reach anyone from the camp either.
"I'd like to get my money back first and foremost, but an explanation as to why this happened," said Pezold. "All these families are scrambling. No childcare, no activities for their children."
Striano said, "I want my money back, but more than anything I want them to be accountable for what they've done."
The Empire program's website states it is licensed by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. A request for comment from the department was not immediately returned.
Parents say they will file police reports and complaints with the attorney general's office in the coming days. | positive |
Energy, Ecology, & Economics Howard T. Odum *
May 1974
As long-predicted energy shortages appear, as questions about the interaction of energy and environment are raised in legislatures and parliaments, and as energy-related inflation dominates public concern, many are beginning to see that there is a unity of the single system of energy, ecology, and economics. The world's leadership, however, is mainly advised by specialists who study only a part of the system at a time. Instead of a single system's understanding, we have adversary arguments dangerous to the welfare of nations and the role of man as the earth's information bearer and programmatic custodian. Many economic models ignore the changing force of energy, regarding effects of energy sources as an external constant; ecoactivists cause governments to waste energy in unnecessary technology; and the false gods of growth and medical ethics make famine, disease, and catalytic collapse more and more likely for much of the world. Some energy specialists consider the environment as an antagonist instead of a major energy ally in supporting the biosphere. Figure 1 A. Generalized world model of man and nature based on one-shot fossil fuel usages and steady solar work. Pathways are flows of energy from outside source (circle) through interactions (pointed blocks marked 'X' to show multiplier action) to final dispersion of dispersed heat. The tank symbol refers to storage. Here world fuel reserve storage helps build a storage of structure of man's buildings, information, population, and culture. Figure 1 B. Graphs resulting from simulation of the model in Figure 1 A. Available world fuel reserve was taken as 5 X 1019 kilocalories and energy converted from the solar input and converged into man's productive system of growth and maintenance was 5 X 1016 kilocalories when structure was 1018 kilocalories. Peak of structural growth was variable over a 50-year period depending on amounts diverted into waste pathways.
Figure 1 C. The steady state observed in some simulations of Figure 1 A was an oscillating one as in the graph shown here. Instead of the confusion that comes from the western civilization's characteristic educational approach of isolating variables in tunnel-vision thinking, let us here seek common sense overview which comes from overall energetics. Very simple overall energy diagrams clarify issues quantitatively, indicating what is possible. The diagrams and symbols are explained further in a recent book (see Ref. 1). For example, Figure 1 shows the basis of production in interaction of fuel reserves, steady energies of solar origin and feedback of work from the system's structure. Figure 1 is the computer simulation of this model for our existence, showing a steady state after our current growing period. As the fuel tank is drained, we return to a lower solar base of simpler agriculture. Simple macroscopic minimodels based on overview of world energy provides the same kind of trend curves as the detailed models of Forrester and Meadows (see Ref. 2). With major changes confronting us, let us consider here some of the main points that we must comprehend so we may be prepared for the future. 1. The true value of energy to society is the net energy, which is what's left after the energy costs of getting and concentrating that energy are subtracted. Many forms of energy are low grade because they have to be concentrated, transported, dug from deep in the earth or pumped from far at sea. Much energy has to be used directly and indirectly to support the machinery, people, supply systems, etc., to deliver the energy. If it takes ten units of energy to bring ten units of energy to the point of use, then there is no net energy. Right now we dig further and further, deeper and deeper, and go for energies that are more and more dilute in the rocks. Sunlight is also a dilute energy that requires work to harness. We are still expanding our rate of consumption of gross energy, but since we are feeding a higher and higher percentage back into the energy seeking process, we are decreasing our percentage of net energy production. Many of our proposed alternative energy sources take more energy feedback than present processes. Figure 2 shows net energy emerging beyond the work and structural maintenance costs of energy processing. 2. Worldwide inflation is driven in part by the increasing fraction of our fossil fuels that have to be used in getting more fossil and other fuels. Figure 2. Energy flow diagram illustrating energy laws, and the difference between net and gross energy flows . If the money circulating is the same or increasing, and if the quality energy reaching society for its general work is less because so much energy has to go immediately into the energy-getting process, then the real work to society per unit money circulated is less. Money buys less real work of other types and thus money is worth less. Because the economy and total energy utilization are still expanding, we are misled to think the total value is expanding and we allow more money to circulate which makes the money-to-work ratio even larger. Figure 3 shows the circulation of money that constitutes the GNP in a counter-current to the energy flow. 3. Many calculations of energy reserves which are supposed to offer years of supply are as gross energy rather than net energy and thus may be of much shorter duration than often stated. Suppose for every ten units of some quality of oil shale proposed as an energy source there were required nine units of energy to mine, process, concentrate, transport, and meet environmental requirements. Such a reserve would deliver 1/10 as much net energy and last 1/10 as long as was calculated. Leaders should demand of our estimators of energy reserves that they make their energy calculations in units of net energy. The net reserves of fossil fuels are mainly unknown but they are much smaller than the gross reserves which have been the basis of public discussions and decisions that imply that growth can continue. 4. Societies compete for economic survival by Lotka's principle (see Ref. 3), which says that systems win and dominate that maximize their useful total power from all sources and flexibly distribute this power toward needs affecting survival. The programs of forests, seas, cities, and-countries survive that maximize their system's power for useful purposes. The first requirement is that opportunities to gain inflowing power be maximized, and the second requirement is that energy utilization be effective and not wasteful as compared to competitors or alternatives. For further discussion see Lotka (Ref. 3) and Odum (Ref. 1). 5. During times when there are opportunities to expand one's power inflows, the survival premium by Lotka's principle is on rapid growth even though there may be waste. We observe dog-eat-dog growth competition every time a new vegetation colonizes a bare field where the immediate survival premium is first placed on rapid expansion to cover the available energy receiving surfaces. The early growth ecosystems put out weeds of poor structure and quality, which are wasteful in their energy-capturing efficiencies, but effective in getting growth even though the structures are not long lasting. Most recently, modern communities of man have experienced two hundred years of colonizing growth, expanding to new energy sources such as fossil fuels, new agricultural lands, and other special energy sources. Western culture, and more recently, Eastern and Third World cultures, are locked into a mode of belief in growth as necessary to survival. "Grow or perish" is what Lotka's principle requires, but only during periods when there are energy sources that are not yet tapped. Figure 3 shows the structure that must be built in order to be competitive in processing energy.
Figure 3. Relationships of money cycles to the energy circuit loops.
6. During times when energy flows have been tapped and there are no new sources, Lotka's principle requires that those systems win that do not attempt fruitless growth but instead use all available energies in long-staying, high-diversity, steady-state works. Whenever an ecosystem reaches its steady state after periods of succession, the rapid-net-growth specialists are replaced by a new team of higher-diversity, higher-quality, longer-living, better-controlled, and stable components. Collectively, through division of labor and specialization, the climax team gets more energy out of the steady flow of available source energy than those specialized in fast growth could. Our system of man and nature will soon be shifting from rapid growth as the criterion of economic survival to steady-state non-growth as the criterion of maximizing one's work for economic survival (Figure 1). The timing depends only on the reality of one or two possibly high-yielding nuclear energy processes (fusion and breeder reactions) which may or may not be very yielding, Ecologists are familiar with both growth states and steady state, and observe both in natural systems in their work routinely, but economists were all trained in their subject during rapid growth and most don't even know there is such a thing as steady state. Most economic advisors have never seen a steady state even though most of man's million year history was close to steady state. Only the last two centuries have seen a burst of temporary growth because of temporary use of special energy supplies that accumulated over long periods of geologic time. 7. High quality of life for humans and equitable economic distribution are more closely approximated in steady-state than in growth periods. During growth, emphasis is on competition, and large differences in economic and energetic welfare develop; competitive exclusion, instability, poverty, and unequal wealth are characteristic. During steady state, competition is controlled and eliminated, being replaced with regulatory systems, high division and diversity of labor, uniform energy distributions, little change, and growth only for replacement purposes. Love of stable-system quality replaces love of net gain. Religious ethics adopt something closer to that of those primitive peoples that were formerly dominant in zones of the world with cultures based on the steady energy flows from the sun. Socialistic ideals about distribution are more consistent with steady state than growth. 8. The successfully competing economy must use its net output of richer-quality energy flows to subsidize the poorer-quality energy flow so that the total power is maximized. In ecosystems, diversity of species develop that allow more of the energies to be tapped. Many of the species that are specialists in getting lesser and residual energies receive subsidies from the richer components. For example, the sun leaves on top of trees transport fuels that help the shaded leaves so they can get some additional energy from the last rays of dim light reaching the forest floor. The system that uses its excess energies in getting a little more energy, even from so urces that would not be net yielding alone, develops more total work and more resources for total survival. In similar ways, we now use our rich fossil fuels to keep all kinds of goods and services of our economy cheap so that the marginal kinds of energies may receive the subsidy benefit that makes them yielders, whereas they would not be able to generate much without the subsidy. Figure 4 shows the role of diversity in tapping auxiliary energies and maintaining flexibility to changing sources.
Figure 4. Relationship of general structural maintenance to diversity and secondary energy sources.
9. Energy sources which are now marginal, being supported by hidden subsidies based on fossil fuel, become less economic when the hidden subsidy is removed. A corollary of the previous principle of using rich energies to subsidize marginal ones is that the marginal energy sources will not be as net yielding later, since there will be no subsidy. This truth is often stated backwards in economists' concepts because there is inadequate recognition of external changes in energy quality. Often they propose that marginal energy sources will be economic later when the rich sources are gone. An energy source is not a source unless it is contributing yields, and ability of marginal sources to yield goes down as the other sources of subsidy become poorer. Figure 4 shows these relationships. 10. Increasing energy efficiency with new technology is not an energy solution, since most technological innovations are really diversions of cheap energy into hidden subsidies in the form of fancy, energy-expensive structures. Most of our century of progress with increasing efficiencies of engines has really been spent developing mechanisms to subsidize a process with a second energy source. Many calculations of efficiency omit these energy inputs. We build better engines by putting more energy into the complex factories for manufacturing the equipment. The percentage of energy yield in terms of all the energies incoming may be less, not greater. Making energy net yielding is the only process not amenable to high energy-based technology. 11. Even in urban areas more than half of the useful work on which our society is based comes from the natural flows of sun, wind, waters, waves, etc., that act through the broad areas of seas and landscapes without money payment. An economy, to compete and survive, must maximize its use of these energies, not destroying their enormous free subsidies. The necessity of environmental inputs is often not realized until they are displaced. When an area first grows, it may add some new energy sources in fuels and electric power, but when it gets to about 50 percent of the area developed it begins to destroy and diminish as much necessary life-support work that was free and unnoticed as it adds. At this point, further growth may produce a poor ability in economic competition because the area now has higher energy drains. For example, areas that grow too dense with urban developments may pave over the areas that formerly accepted and reprocessed waste waters. As a consequence, special tertiary waste treatments become necessary and monetary and energy drains are diverted from useful works to works that were formerly supplied free. 12. Environmental technology which duplicates the work available from the ecological sector is an economic handicap. As growth of urban areas has become concentrated, much of our energies and research and development work has been going into developing energy-costing technology to protect the environment from wastes, whereas most wastes are themselves rich energy sources for which there are, in most cases, ecosystems capable of using and recycling wastes as a partner of the city without drain on the scarce fossil fuels. Soils take up carbon monoxide, forests absorb nutrients, swamps accept and regulate floodwaters. If growth is so dense that environmental technology is required, then it is too dense to be economically vital for the combined system of man and nature there. The growth needs to be arrested or it will arrest itself with depressed, poorly competing economy of man and of his environs. For example, there is rarely excuse for tertiary treatment because there is no excuse for such dense packing of growth that the natural buffer lands cannot be a good cheap recycling partner. Man as a partner of nature must use nature well and this does not mean crowd it, out and pave it over; nor does it mean developing industries that compete with nature for the waters and wastes that would be an energy contributor to the survival of both. 13. Solar energy is very dilute and the inherent energy cost of concentrating solar energy into form for human use has already been maximized by forests and food-producing plants. Without energy subsidy there is no yield from the sun possible beyond the familiar yields from forestry and agriculture. Figure 5. Diagrams of three systems of solar energy use. Figure 5 A. Man a minor part of the complex forest ecosystem. Figure 5 B. Man a major partner in agricultural system on light alone. Figure 5 C. Fossil-fuel-subsidized agriculture as a colonial member of a technological society of man with maximum possible solar conversion. Advocates of major new energies available from the sun don't understand that the concentrations quality of solar energy is very low, being only 10—16 kilocalories per cubic centimeter. Much of this has to be used up in upgrading to food quality. Plants build tiny microscopic semiconductor photon receptors that are the same in principle as the solar cells advocated at vastly greater expense by some solar advocates. The plants have already maximized use of sunlight, by which they support an ecosystem whose diverse work helps maximize this conversion as shown in Figure 5 A. If man and his work are substituted for much of the ecosystem so that he and his farm animals do the recycling and management, higher yield results as in sacred cow agriculture (Figure 5 B). Higher yields require large fossil fuel subsidies in doing some of the work. For example, making the solar receiving structures (Figure 5 C), whereas the plants and ecosystem make their equipment out of the energy budget they process. Since man has already learned how to subsidize agriculture and forestry with fossil fuels when he has them, solar technology becomes a duplication. The reason major solar technology has not and will not be a major contributor or substitute for fossil fuels is that it will not compete without energy subsidy from the fossil fuel economy. Some energy savings are possible in house heating on a minor scale. 14. Energy is measured by calories, Btu's, kilowatt hours, and other intraconvertible units, but energy has a scale of quality which is not indicated by these measures. The ability to do work for man depends on the energy quality and quantity, and this is measurable by the amount of energy of a lower-quality grade required to develop the higher grade. The scale of energy goes from dilute sunlight up to plant matter to coal, from coal to oil to electricity and up to the high-quality efforts of computer and human information processing. 15. Nuclear energy is now mainly subsidized with fossil fuels and barely yields net energy. High costs of mining, processing fuels, developing costly plants, storing wastes, operating complex safety systems, and operating government agencies make present nuclear energy one of the marginal sources which add some energy now, while they are subsidized by a rich economy. A self-contained, isolated nuclear energy does not now exist. Since the present nuclear energy is marginal while it uses the cream of rich fuels accumulated during times of rich fossil fuel excess, and because the present rich reserves of nuclear fuel will last no longer than fossil fuels, there may not be a major long-range effect of present nuclear technology on economic survival. High energy cost of nuclear construction may be a factor accelerating the exhaustion of the richer fuels. Figure 4 illustrates the principle. Breeder Process: The Breeder Process is now being given its first tests of economic effectiveness and we don't yet know how net yielding it will be. The present nuclear plants are using up the rich fuels that could support the breeder reactors if these turn out to be net yielders over and beyond the expected high energy costs in safety costs, occasional accidents, reprocessing plants, etc. Should we use the last of our rich fossil fuel wealth for the high research and development costs and high capital investments of processes too late to develop a net yield? Fusion: The big question is will fusion be a major net yield? The feasibility of pilot plants with the fusion process is unknown. There is no knowledge yet as to the net energy in fusion or the amounts of energy subsidy fusion may require. Because of this uncertainty, we cannot be sure about the otherwise sure-leveling and decline in total energy flows that may soon be the pattern for our world. 16. Substantial energy storages are required for stability of an economy against fluctuations of economies, or of natural causes, and of military threats. The frantic rush to use the last of the rich oils and gas that are easy to harvest for a little more growth and tourism is not the way to maintain power stability or political and military security for the world community of nations as a whole. World stability requires a de-energizing of capabilities of vast war, and an evenly distributed power base for regular defense establishments, which need to be evenly balanced without great power gradients that encourage change of military boundaries. A two-year storage is required for stability of a component. 17. The total tendency for net favorable balance of payments of a country relative to others depends on the relative net energy of that country including its natural and fuel-based energies minus its wastes and nonproductive energy uses. Countries with their own rich energies can export goods and services with less requirement for money than those that have to use their money to buy their fuels. Those countries with, inferior energy flows into useful work become subordinate energy dependents to other countries. A country that sells oil but does not use it within its boundaries to develop useful work is equally subordinate since a major flow of necessary high-quality energy in the form of technical goods and services is external in this case. The country with the strongest position is the one with a combination of internal sources of rich energies and internal sources of developed structure and information based on the energy. The relations of energy sources to payment balances are given in Figure 6.
Figure 6 A. Diagram showing how energy sources and energy loss pathways affect the balance of payments and general economic competition position of single country. Better balance results when one's own energy sources are better, and one's waste less. 18. During periods of expanding energy availabilities, many kinds of growth-priming activities may favor economic vitality and the economy's ability to compete. Institutions, customs, and economic policies aid by accelerating energy consumption in an autocatalytic way. Many pump-priming properties of fast-growing economies have been naturally selected and remain in procedures of government and culture. Urban concentrations, high use of cars, economic subsidy to growth, oil depletion allowances, subsidies to population growth, advertising, high-rise building, etc., are costly in energy for their operation and maintenance, but favor economic vitality as long as their role as pump primers is successful in increasing the flow of energy over and beyond their special cost. Intensely concentrated densities of power use have been economic in the past because their activities have accelerated the system's growth during a period when there were new energy sources to encompass. 19. During periods when expansion of energy sources is not possible, then the many high-density and growth-promoting policies and structures become an energy liability because their high energy cost is no longer accelerating energy yield. The pattern of urban concentration and the policies of economic growth stimulation that were necessary and successful in energy growth competition periods are soon to shift. There will be a premium against the use of pump-priming characteristics since there will be no more unpumped energy to prime. What did work before will no longer work and the opposite becomes the pattern that is economically successful. All this makes sense and is commonplace to those who study various kinds of ecosystems, but the economic advisors will be sorely pressed and lose some confidence until they learn about the steady state and its criteria for economic success. Countries with great, costly investments in concentrated economic activity, excessive transportation customs, and subsidies to industrial expansion will have severe stresses. Even now the countries who have not gone so far in rapid successional growth are setting out to do so at the very time when their former more steady state culture is about to begin to become a more favored economic state comparatively. 20. Systems in nature are known that shift from fast growth to steady state gradually with programmatic substitution, but other instances are known in which, the shift is marked by total crash and destruction of the growth system before the emergence of the succeeding steady-state regime. Because energies and monies for research, development, and thinking are abundant only during growth and not during energy leveling or decline, there is a great danger that means for developing the steady state will not be ready when they are needed, which may be no more than 5 years away but probably more like 20 years. (If fusion energy is a large net energy yielder, there may be a later growth period when the intensity of human power development begins to affect and reduce the main life support systems of the oceans, atmospheres, and general biosphere.) The humanitarian customs of the earth's countries now in regard to medical aid, famine, and epidemic are such that no country is allowed to develop major food and other critical energy shortage because the others rush in their reserves. This practice has insured that no country will starve in a major way until we all starve together when the reserves are no longer there. Chronic disease was evolved with man as his regulator, being normally as a device for infant mortality and merciful old-age death. It provided, on the average, an impersonal and accurate energy testing of body vitalities, adjusting the survival rate to the energy resources. Even in the modem period of high-energy medical miracles, the energy for total medical care systems is a function of the total country's energies, and as energies per capita fall again so will the energy for medicine per capita, and the role of disease will again develop its larger ,role in the population regulation system. Chronic disease at its best was and is a very energy-inexpensive regulator. Epidemic disease is something else. Nature's systems normally use the principle of diversity to eliminate epidemics. Vice versa, epidemic disease is nature's device to eliminate monoculture, which may be inherently unstable. Man is presently allowed the special high yields of various monocultures including his own high density population, his paper source in pine trees, and his miracle rice only so long as he has special energies to protect these artificial ways and substitute them for disease which would restore the high diversity system, ultimately the more stable flow of energy. The terrible possibility that is before us is that there will be the continued insistence on growth with our last energies by the economic advisors that don't understand, so that there are no reserves with which to make a change, to hold order, and to cushion a period when populations must drop. Disease reduction of man and of his plant production systems could be planetary and sudden if the ratio of population to food and medical systems is pushed to the maximum at a time of falling net energy. At some point the great gaunt towers of nuclear energy installations, oil drilling, and urban cluster will stand empty in the wind for lack of enough fuel technology to keep them running. A new cycle of dinosaurs will have passed its way. Man will survive as he reprograms readily to that which the ecosystem needs of him so long as he does not forget who is serving who. What is done well for the ecosystem is good for man. However, the cultures that say only what is good for man is good for nature may pass and be forgotten like the rest. There was a famous theory in paleoecology called orthogenesis which suggested that some of the great animals of the past were part of systems that were locked into evolutionary mechanisms by which the larger ones took over from smaller ones. The mechanisms then became so fixed that they carried the size trend beyond the point of survival, whereupon the species went extinct. Perhaps this -is the main question of ecology, economics, and energy. Has the human system frozen its direction into an orthogenetic path toward cultural crash, or is the great creative activity of the current energy-rich world already sensing the need for change? Are alternatives already being tested by our youth so they will be ready for the gradual transition to a fine steady state that carries the best of our recent cultural evolution into new, more miniaturized, more dilute, and more delicate ways of man-nature? In looking ahead, the United States and some other countries may be lucky to be forced by changing energy availabilities to examine themselves, level their, growth, and change their culture towards the steady state early enough so as to be ready with some tested designs before the world as a whole is forced to this. A most fearful sight is the behavior of Germany and Japan who have little native energies and rush crazily into boom-and-bust economy on temporary and borrowed pipelines and tankers, throwing out what was stable and safe to become rich for a short period; monkey see, monkey do. Consider also Sweden that once before boomed and busted in its age of Baltic Ships while cutting its virgin timber. Later it was completely stable on water power and agriculture, but then after a few years of growth became like the rest, another bunch of engines on another set of oil flows, a culture that may not be long for this world. What is the general answer? Eject economic expansionism, stop growth, use available energies for cultural conversion to steady state, seek out the condition now that will come anyway, but by our service be our biosphere's handmaiden anew.

5. Energy systems symbols used for showing mathematical and energetic relationships between the parts of our system of energy, economics and ecology. All outside energy sources flow in from sources indicated with the circular symbol and these sources deliver causal forcing actions. All storages of energy, structure, money, information, value, etc., are represented by the tank-shaped symbol and these tanks are called state variables. All energies leave systems as dispersed heat that has no more potential for doing useful work. In the diagrams the dispersal of unusable heat energy is called a heat sink. When two different kinds of flows of energy (or materials, information, or services that carry energy) interact in processes where both are necessary, we draw a work gate symbol. The system has an X if the action of one flow so facilitates the flow of the other and vice versa so that the process is a multiplier action. As in all processes, useful energy that drives the processes emerges as degraded, no longer reusable dispersed energy leaving the earth through the heat sink. (Heat on earth ultimately is reradiated out to space from the top of the atmosphere.) Self-maintaining entities such as populations, cities, industries, and other organizations that feed energy from storage back into multiplicative pumping actions are shown with the hexagonal symbol. The energy dispersed in maintaining the system, its growth, and its work services is shown passing out the bottom in a heat sink. When new storages are developed, energy laws require that much of the energy be dispersed into unusable heat in order to make the process of storing go fast enough to be most competitive. The symbol for Potential generating work shows the necessary heat dispersal that is required for any storing Process. When two energy flows may be substituted for each other, we show their junction as the convergence of lines. This means that the flows add (in contrast to the work gate where other kinds of interactions are the result). Because money flows as a countercurrent to the flow of energy, goods, and services (the latter two also carrying energy), we represent pathways that involve economic transactions with the diamond shaped symbol and two counter diagrams pathways. The energy cost of doing economic business is shown as the energy lost into the heat sink. The diagrams may be examined as if they were a series of water tanks and pipes with water flowing between the tanks, being driven by the pressures of the storages or outside pressures and the energy of the water pressure, ultimately leaving the system in the various frictional heat dispersions. The diagrams can thus be visualized to help see the complexity of systems and recognize just from the configurations what kinds of responses might follow proposed manipulations. As further given in Ref. 1 the diagrams are also ways of writing mathematical differential equations for making precise mathematical descriptions of relationships. * Reprinted from the special energy edition of Ambio (No. 6, 1973) with the permission of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm, Sweden—publishers of Ambio—and Dr. Howard T.

In early November of 1973—during a visit to MOTHER's new home in the mountains of western North Carolina—New Alchemist John Todd gave the magazine's editors about the 14th-generation Xerox copy of what can conservatively be described as a dynamite paper. We had only to glance at this extraordinary document to realize that the paper (originally written at the request of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences) is one of the most concise—yet most sweeping—examinations yet made of the real problems of the world. Read it and see for yourself. The paper which follows—written by the same author for a press conference held this past January—is more of the same. The man who produced this work is Howard T. Odum, Ph. D. . . . Director of the Center for Wetlands and a Graduate Research Professor at the University of Florida in Gainesville. In the past, he has been Professor of Ecology at the University of North Carolina, Chief Scientist for the Puerto Rico Nuclear Center and Director of the Institute of Marine Science of the University of Texas at Port Aransas. Professor Odum has many other environmental credits to his name including the book, Environment, Power and Society (John Wiley, 1972). We feel that Dr. Odum's papers, presented here with his permission and the permission of The Royal Academy of Sciences of Sweden, are important enough to replace the PLOWBOY INTERVIEW usually found in this section of the magazine.

The Boston Bombings have achieved the status of a proper-noun title, reaching that rarified echelon reserved for the high-profile American atrocities that, like total eclipses, occur a few times each decade.
With that status comes ubiquity. Everyone is familiar with the appalling details that form the identity of the case: internet vigilantes misidentifying the bomber, Boston being shut down for a city-wide manhunt, the shootout with Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s alpha, older brother, Tamerlan, the police finally trapping Dzhokhar himself in someone’s covered boat, the sense that it all, somehow, related back to that larger plot-arc of American violence—the Global War On Terror. Like any of the other infamous crimes of the decade, the narrative of the Boston Bombings was collectively fashioned into something even more sensational and lurid than it had to be, closing up any remove from which we might try to contemplate what justice should look like in this situation.
The federal government’s relentless pursuit of the death penalty in the case is just one more aspect of that self-perpetuating tragic drama. It’s difficult to see how sacrificing Tsarnaev will force him to atone, or bring the victims peace of mind. One of the three people killed in the bombing, Martin Richard, was only eight years old. Other people in his family were seriously injured. And yet the Richards pleaded with the prosecution to drop the death penalty. They aren’t the only ones uncomfortable with state execution: according to a WBUR-Boston poll, only 26 percent of Bostonians support Tsarnaev being murdered for murder. It’s difficult to see what good this Old-Testament violence-exchange will do anybody.
The unpopularity of capital punishment in Massachusetts shouldn’t come as a surprise. The Bay State has a political legacy of opposing the death penalty, which it abolished over thirty years ago and it hasn’t performed an execution since 1947. Opposition to the death penalty in Massachusetts has a bifurcated heritage, one part secular and one part influenced by Catholic moral thought. The secular argument is a familiar one: “The death penalty is so final that there’s no recourse if it turns out the state is wrong, and what gives the state the right to murder its own citizens anyway?” This is usually followed up with a healthy dose of shame at the United States being the only modern Western country that still implements capital punishment.
The Catholic Church is quite vocal on this topic, and nearly 40 percent of people living in the Boston area identify as Catholic. In 2005, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops put out a publication called A Culture of Life and the Penalty of Death, that asserts:
When the state, in our names and with our taxes, ends a human life despite having non-lethal alternatives, it suggests that society can overcome violence with violence. The use of the death penalty ought to be abandoned not only for what it does to those who are executed, but for what it does to all of society.
Sister Helen Prejean, she of Dead Man Walking fame, made this point by testifying on behalf of the defense during Tsarnaev’s trial.
But the disturbing intercession of the federal government saw to it that none of these popular local opinions on the death penalty would matter all that much in the outcome of the trial. Everyone serving on the jury was “death qualified” beforehand, a weird way of saying that they had to be open to the death penalty as an option to even make it past voir dire, stacking the deck early.
There is recent precedent for the federal government taking control of a case and pushing for the death penalty against the wishes, customs, and laws of the community against whom the crime was perpetrated. As Bruce Shapiro explains in The Nation, it was Clinton, responding to the 1994 World Trade Center bombing, who first pushed for an extension of the federal-level death penalty—historically reserved for treason—as a way to punish terrorists. But we can almost immediately exclude “deterrence” as an explanation for the federal governments forays in court-mandated prisoner killing. Just tally up the number of terrorist attacks in America since this development. It didn’t decrease.
It didn’t take long for that to expand into the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, which was, Shapiro writes, “one of the most deceptively labeled bills of all time—limited habeas corpus and otherwise weakened the protections offered to state and federal death-row prisoners alike, most having nothing to do with terrorism, national security, or anything other than conventional murder.” Fast-forward to 2011 and you can see the results of this federal overreach in Lincoln Chafee, then-governor of death penalty-free Rhode Island, literally refusing to turn over a prisoner involved in a gas station robbery gone awry to federal authorities bent on executing him.
René Girard’s writings on violence and the sacred are useful in trying to understand the federal government’s attachment to barbaric and iconic articulations of justice. What Girard calls “mimetic rivalry” is the process of a culture confusing its positive identity for an act of negation. Simply put, our main collective source of identity is our rivals. As Forfare Davis explains, “It is mimetic, or imitative, because it depends upon and even apes the aspirations to power of the enemies it dedicates itself to defeating.” In other words, rather than being a modern attempt at a disinterested (“effective”) justice, the federal government’s bloodlust is the tribal manifestation of an “us vs. them” mindset which uses the same barbaric violence against our purported enemies that we ourselves claim to be morally superior to.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev just isn’t in our tribe. Nationality has nothing to do with it. As evidence of this point, take Senators Lindsey Graham and John McCain wanting to try Tsarnaev as an “enemy combatant,” despite his being a naturalized citizen of the United States. The legality of the naturalization process just doesn’t matter as much as his own statement, scrawled on the inside of the boat he hid in, of where his allegiances lay: “Stop killing our innocent people and we will stop.” Michael Levitt, testifying against Tsarnaev, argued that this note—his admission that he wasn’t “one of us”—is “what makes it terrorism, and not just murder,” the Intercept reported.
How would “one of us” be treated in a similar situation? Take, for example, a white, Christian, American-born man who planted a bomb in the middle of a sporting event for odd religious reasons. Let’s even say that he injured more people than Tsarnaev. Furthermore, let’s say that the manhunt took even longer and used even more resources. How would we react then? The man is named Eric Rudolph. He was the Christian fundamentalist who bombed Olympic Park in Atlanta in 1996, killing two and injuring 111. The manhunt to find him lasted five years. He’s currently serving four consecutive life sentences at ADX Florence, in Colorado. He was spared from death because he’s one of our own. In the American tribe, murder vs. terrorism is as simple as us vs. them. | positive |

He is also without a doubt the most modest man in the universe.” - Alasdair Kennedy Pages Home Albums Tracks of the Week Interviews Good Junk Bad Junk OK junk Opinion Contact Friday, 29 November 2019 BEST AND WORST NEW TRACKS OF THE WEEK 29/11/2019: The Weeknd, Kvelertak, Steven A. Clark and more… Take a break from UK election news and Baby Yoda memes and check out the latest hot tracks of the week… THE BEST: ‘Bråtebrann’ – Kvelertak ‘Bråtebrann’ is the brånd new single from Norwegian metal bånd (I’ll stop with the angstroms now), Kvelertak. It’s their first single in four years and the first single since founding vocalist Erlend Hjelvik departed the band. Fortunately, they’ve found a worthy replacement singer/screecher Ivar Nikolaisen and haven’t lost any of their ridiculously fun energy. The action-packed seven minute single opens with thrashy chugging, followed by a bluesy classic rock chorus and topped off with some flashy soloing. The band have a new album titled Splid scheduled for release next year. ‘Small Hours’ – Otta This new quirky pop song is the work of South- London-basedhalf-British half-Finnish singer Otta. Sparse production definitely seems to be the trend right now, but I’m loving the different styles that are blended in from electronica to neo-jazz to even a slight lilt of rock towards the end with the electric guitars. The dejected sighed-out feel of the vocals also helps to make the song all the more uniquely enchanting. ‘There Must Be Some Kind Of Misunderstanding’ – Andrew Thompson I can’t even begin to label this song. There’s kazoo, there’s tuba and there’s whistling – all ingredients that are usually a turn-off for me. And yet they seemingly work well with New York singer Andrew Thompson’s playful voice and lyrics. The track is based around the old ‘waiter, there’s a fly in my soup’ joke and is delivered in an inflection reminiscent of Sting. It’s ridiculously catchy and somehow feels fresh even if it a pastiche of corny and dated ideas. ‘Crystal Ball’ – Waldo Witt This euphoric 80s-flavoured song is the work of singer-songwriter Waldo Witt. It's got vaporwave/chillwave vibes that remind me a little of George Clanton, only a little more danceable. It comes off of Waldo’s new album Randall, which is filled with similarly feelgood retro tunes. ‘Karma’ – Steven A. Clarka With its falsettos and psychedelic lo-fi beat, this track reminds me a lot of Tame Impala. But there’s a subtle hint of aggression in the way the singer delivers the chorus ‘cos when the karma comes’ that gives the song its own unique flair. It’s a great representation of the anger phase in a breakup when all you want is revenge. THE WORST: ‘Heartless’ – The Weeknd Abel can do so much better than this. This sounds like a watered-down amalgam of various previous songs he’s released. And what the hell is up with his new image?
