One of a variety of new game modes for Call of Duty®: Ghosts, Blitz requires players to use speed and stealth to step foot into the enemy goal for points. Let’s take a look at the basic setup and some strategies to keep in mind before jumping into the new mode this November.
Blitz Setup
Score Limit: 16
Rounds: 2
A goal sits on either side of the map, each belonging to one team. To score points, you or one of your teammates must enter the other team’s goal. Entering a goal awards a single point and instantly teleports the goal-scorer to a different section of the map. A 10-second cooldown is applied to the goal after scoring a point. Nobody can enter the goal during this time.
The round ends when 10 minutes are up or when one side scores 8 points. The teams switch sides and the second round begins.
Blitz Strategy
Offense
Faster is Better
Speed is your friend. Perks like Marathon (unlimited sprint) and Agility (increased movement speed) leave the enemy players in the dust when rushing their goal. If you find yourself face to face with a defender, Ready Up (weapon is ready faster after sprinting) and Quickdraw (faster aiming) speed up your reaction time to quickly drop out of sprint and defend yourself before scoring the point. If you’re really cutting it close, rush the goal and drop to a knee slide to zip in and avoid incoming shots.
Disrupt Line of Sight
Closing in on the enemy goal, but don’t trust that hidden corner coming up? The Smoke Tactical grenade might just be what you’re looking for. Toss it out and rush in unhindered. Just try not to deploy it too early, as nearby enemies will likely see the smoke and follow up with explosives. You don’t want to be there when that happens.
Bring Your Friends
As with all team-based modes, coordination wins games. While the 10-second cooldown prevents groups from entering the goal simultaneously, it’s still advantageous to stick together. Designate one player to rush in for the point while the others take up posts in the perimeter, fighting off incoming enemies until the goal resets.
Defense
Surprise, Surprise
Once an enemy player gets close to your team’s goal, they’re more likely to throw awareness out the window and rush right for the point. They might make a quick check of the immediate surroundings, but they’re likely more concerned with reaching the goal. Use this to your advantage and set up in vantage points that aren’t easily spotted at first glance.
Minefield
The I.E.D. Lethal equipment and the I.M.S. Assault pointstreak are both highly effective proximity explosives. Set these near key chokepoints leading to your team’s goal and make enemy rushers think twice before blindly racing toward your goal.
Score and Defend
After scoring a point and teleporting away, take some time to defend your own goal. Chances are, you already have other teammates closing in on the enemy goal. If everyone’s attacking, your own will be wide open for the taking.
These are just a few tactics to keep in mind when playing Blitz. Above all, act quickly and keep a cool head. With the speed and intensity of Blitz matches, every second matters. Make it count.

Liverpool and Norwich City kicked off the new Premier League season last night with the Reds registering a strong start after their 4-1 at Anfield. Last season’s joint top scorer Egyptian forward Mohamad Salah was one of the scorers after netting in Liverpool’s second in the 19th minute. Last season three African superstars including Gabon’s Pierre Emerick Aubameyang (Arsenal), Liverpool pair Mohamad Salah and Sadio Mane (Senegal) shared the golden boot after each scoring 22 goals. What are some of the main aspects to expect this season? Video Assistant Referee (VAR) The English Premier League has finally embraced the technology and the FA decided that the system will be in use this season. VAR will be consulted in different scenarios during the game if the officials deem it necessary. Scenarios that may lead to calling in the new system include deciding goals, awarding penalties, red cards, and mistaken identity. Fans should expect at least some minimum drama and a few controversies that may be inevitable as far as VAR decisions are concerned? A very hot title race Last season it was hugely a two-horse race between eventual champions Manchester City and runners up Liverpool. However, this season the title race may be too wide open with all the members of the top six looking ready to challenge for the title this season. Indeed, both Pep Guardiola and Jürgen Klopp have admitted that this season thing may be a bit different saying that all the top six clubs are title contenders this campaign. Clubs like Arsenal and Manchester United who finished out of the top four last season and therefore failed to qualify for champions league have strengthened their squads in the transfer window and this means that they are aiming for the best this season. Defending champions Manchester City are still regarded as title favorites while Liverpool will be fighting hard to win the Premier League for the first time having failed by just one-point last season. Frank Lampard is also expected to fight hard to prove a point as a new Chelsea manager and former player while Tottenham will be hoping to upgrade from last season’s fourth position having added some hot talents to their squad in the transfer window. Will new signings help their club improve? Clubs have made some expensive signings this summer and they will be hoping they are able to get the work done first time. There have been record signings in several clubs with the most significant ones including Harry Maguire joining Manchester United at a record fee for a defender (80 million pounds). Arsenal have also broken their transfer record by signing Ivory Coast winger Nicolas Pepe from Lille for 72 million pounds. Tottenham and Manchester City have also made record signings in Toguy Ndombele and Rodri respectively. Will there be new entrants in the top six? Last season there was a huge gap between the top six and the 7th placed team of 9 points. However, this season clubs like Wolves who were seventh last season, Everton and Leicester City have invested strongly to strengthen their squads aiming to break into the top six. Any mistake by some of the traditional top six members may see them being eclipsed by one or more of these emerging sides aspiring to start contesting at continental level. Who will be in the relegation battle? The 3 newcomers this season include Aston Villa, Norwich City and Sheffield United and their main aim will be to ensure that they stay in the top flight. Last season saw Brighton, Southampton, and Burnley survive the knife and they will be determined this time not find themselves in the mix of relegation again. Therefore, just like the title race, the relegation battle also looks wide open but was is assured is that at the end there will be one champion and three relegated clubs. Who will win the golden boot? Three players shared the Premier League golden boot last season after netting 22 goals each and that shows you how hot the race was. Will one of the three last season’s winners eclipse the others this time or it will be one of those who missed narrowly like Aguero, Harry Kane, and Jarmy Vardy? Posted in blog.

The latest report from the United Nations details the state of the environment and what we are doing to it, and it’s not looking good. They found that the damage we are doing is occurring at a much more rapid pace than previously thought, to such an extent that we are degrading the environment quicker than it can recover.
The study, carried out by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), is the most comprehensive look at the environment ever conducted, involving over 1,200 scientists, more than 160 governments, and hundreds of scientific institutions. Without radical change, which means governments acting now to reverse the worst trends of environmental degradation, the world’s ecosystems will be damaged beyond repair.
“If current trends continue and the world fails to enact solutions that improve current patterns of production and consumption, if we fail to use natural resources sustainably, then the state of the world's environment will continue to decline,” explains UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner in a statement. “It is essential that we understand the pace of environmental change that is upon us and that we start to work with nature instead of against it to tackle the array of environmental threats that face us.”
Overfishing is a major problem, one which will hit the world's poorest the hardest. Sean Pavone/Shutterstock
The study compiles six separate reports that look in detail at different regions of the world: the Pan-European region, North America, Asia and the Pacific, West Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Africa. The major issues and threats differ from place to place, but in general they found that climate change, biodiversity loss, land degradation, and water scarcity are global problems that need to be addressed as soon as possible.
They found that despite attempts to persuade governments to become more sustainable and improve environmental conditions, particularly with growing populations and the ever-looming threat of climate change, the opposite is actually occurring, as degradation is steadily increasing. With hundreds of millions of people in the developing world directly reliant on the natural environment, action needs to be taken now to save them, and achieve the goals set out in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
The authors hope their study will be used as an aid to help the world in its efforts to combat climate change and environmental destruction. They conclude that there is still time for something to be done to protect the most fragile of ecosystems. It is within the power of governments to put a stop to immediate issues, such as the damage inflicted to marine environments and the shocking levels of air pollution that continue to rise. This is possible through simple measures, it just needs the political will. | positive |
Anti-Gay Atmosphere Permeates Uganda
Enlarge this image toggle caption Stephen Wandera/AP Stephen Wandera/AP
In October, a tabloid called Rolling Stone -- no relation to the American magazine -- published an article headlined "100 Pictures of Uganda's Top Homos Leak." The article listed names, addresses and hangouts of gay men and lesbians.
Frank Mugisha saw his photo. Then he noticed the subhead: "Hang them."
"I was shaken up. I was freaked out. I was scared," says Mugisha, who heads up the group Sexual Minorities Uganda. "I'm like, hang them? What is the general Ugandan community going to do to us if the media is calling for us to be hanged?"
On Tuesday, a judge in Uganda is expected to decide whether Rolling Stone may continue to publish the names of gay men and lesbians. Gay activists say that outing them puts them in danger. For example, a couple of days after his name and photo were printed, Mugisha received a text message from a university student.
"It said, 'We don't like homosexuals in Uganda and you guys should be executed. We know where you live, we know who you hang out with, we know who your friends are and we shall come and deal with you as the youth of Uganda.'"
Mugisha was not physically attacked. But others were, says Christopher Senyojo, a retired Anglican bishop who works with gays in Uganda.
"I know a girl whose house was stoned [and] had to run away for some time from that neighborhood," he says. "I've known people who have been attacked, because after this publication, bad elements started to hunt them down."
Across Africa, gay men and lesbians have been targeted for punishment or violent attacks in Malawi, Zimbabwe, Senegal and Cameroon. But Mugisha says, in Uganda, there's an American connection.
"Homophobia has always existed in Uganda," he says. "But I would say it's greatly increased over the past two years, ever since American evangelicals came to Uganda."
Specifically, he's referring to a conference in March 2009, when three Americans spoke to hundreds of people in Kampala about homosexuality. One of them was Scott Lively, who told the group: "The gay movement is an evil institution. The goal of the gay movement is to defeat the marriage-based society and replace it with a culture of sexual promiscuity."
Lively, who declined an interview, heads Abiding Truth Ministries, a conservative evangelical group in Massachusetts that claims people can be healed from homosexuality. On that same trip, Lively met with members of Uganda's Parliament, and a few months later, Parliament member David Bahati introduced a bill that would impose the death penalty on gays.
"I am trying to make sure there is a way to protect our children and make sure our traditional family, the culture that we believe in, is not polluted," Bahati said in an interview. He spoke to NPR while he was in Washington to attend an economic conference, but was prohibited from entering the building where the conference was held after the organizers learned of his bill.
Bahati says the vast majority of Ugandans oppose homosexuality, and he's just representing their views.
"There has been an impression that maybe Bahati is another Hitler, is another Saddam Hussein, is another Idi Amin of Uganda," he said. "I'm not that. I love people. I love gays, but we disagree on how we should approach this issue."
Bahati's bill -- which will be considered as early as February -- would exact the death penalty for consenting gay adults who are "serial offenders." It would give life imprisonment for touching someone of the same gender in a sexual way, and jail time for anyone -- including friends and family -- who doesn't turn gay people in.
"If it was passed, it would be terrible," says Senyojo. He believes what the law doesn't do, vigilantes would.
"The mob could definitely attack anybody who they said was a homosexual," he says.
The Obama administration has warned Uganda that this is a bad idea. Bahati says America should mind its own business.
"As God-fearing people, we know that man and woman were created to have a union, and we are very, very, very strong about this," he says. "This is our own view. We respect America for what they believe in. They should also respect Uganda for what they believe in."
Bahati says because of international pressure, he would consider removing the death penalty provisions. He adds that his bill has overwhelming support in the Parliament. But even if it fails, the current law barring "carnal knowledge against the order of nature" carries a penalty of life in prison. | positive |
There may soon be a lot more birthday scenes on TV and in the movies.
Happy Birthday To You is no longer a song to be avoided by the entertainment industry because of hefty licensing fees to use the song. A U.S. judge ruled recently that the commonly sung tune belongs in the public domain. The ruling still could be appealed by Warner/Chappell Music Inc., which claims it owns the copyright.
But party-goers and well-wishers wanting to start a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday To You to celebrate their loved one should still feel free to sing the tune.
"I don't think they have anything to worry about either ... before or after this ruling," says Graham Hood, an associate who practises copyright law at Smart & Biggar/Fetherstonhaugh firm's Toronto office.
But, while a private version of the song at a birthday party may be OK, there are other murkier parts of copyright.
Canadian copyright law is "remarkably complex," he says.
For the most part, artists retain the right to publish, reproduce and perform their work for their lifetime.
They can pass on copyright to their estate or another person after they die. That person then holds the copyright for the rest of the calendar year after the artist's death and another 50 years. After that time passes, the work enters the public domain and is free from copyright restrictions.
Some musical works, like sound recordings, are subject to slightly different time frames.
The rules are contained in Canada's Copyright Act.
It's also filled with exceptions, Hood says, and then exceptions to those exceptions, making copyright infringement something that is often determined on "a case-by-case basis."
Below are some situations that could unexpectedly pose a risk of copyright infringement.
School concerts
Elementary schools often hold seasonal recitals for students' parents and relatives.
At holiday time, some classes may perform a rousing rendition of Santa Claus is Coming to Town or White Christmas. Unfortunately, both remain copyrighted and out of the public domain, according to the Public Domain Information Project, a site where users can search for royalty-free songs.
The Copyright Act offers special protection to educational institutions using copyrighted material, but only under specific circumstances. The performance must take place on school grounds, be for educational or training purposes, take place in front of an audience made up of mostly teachers and students, and not make a profit.
A court could look at whether the recital was truly educational, charged an admission fee or solicited donations, or if the audience was mostly students and staff, says Kevin Sartorio, who leads the Gowlings law firm's copyright law group.
YouTube videos
YouTube videos that play or cover another artist's copyrighted music can prove to be troublesome.
A copyright lawsuit over a YouTube video starring a baby bouncing along to Prince's Let's Go Crazy is about to head to trial. Closer to home, Toronto Mayor John Tory's parody video featuring a Kanye West song was withheld by Twitter, where he originally posted it, "in response to a report from the copyright holder."
Recently, Canada's act was amended to include a fair dealing exemption for non-commercial user-generated content, Sartorio says, like YouTube videos that play or cover copyrighted songs. Under the exemption, people can generally use the music so long as they don't profit from it, credit the people who created it and don't adversely impact the dissemination of the original work.
But if a video of, for example, someone covering Sia's Chandelier goes viral and the person adds a few advertisements that people must watch before the video plays?
"Then it would become a problem, probably," says Sartorio.
Weddings (in non-traditional venues)
Many weddings include a portion of the evening where guests are encouraged to show off their moves on the dance floor.
Whether the songs are played by an in-house DJ or thanks to an iTunes playlist, most wedding venues pay a fee to a copyright collective, like the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN), for the right to blast copyrighted music during events, says Hood.
However, non-traditional venues, like farms, might not make those payments. Then, a court would have to determine whether the wedding reception was a private or public event, says Sartorio. A court would likely consider the size and make up of the guest list when making its decision.
It's a judgment call, says Hood, and the answer isn't clear. But if it's a group of close friends and family dancing to music played over speakers from an iPod, he says, "chances are the artists on your playlist won't come knocking."
Family reunions
Another situation that blurs the line between private and public is a family reunion.
It's not as cut and dried that all events held in public places are public and all those hosted in private residences are private, says Sartorio. Prior legal cases have shown that isn't always the case.
For a reunion held at a public park with speakers blasting pre-recorded music, "chances are you'll be OK," says Hood — so long as the guest list truly is family and not open to the public.
Street performances
Sometimes buskers play original music, but often it's covers of other artists' works pedestrians hear when passing by them.
SOCAN offers tariff licences for buskers and strolling musicians to prevent them from copyright infringement when they perform in public. Musicians can expect to pay $32.55 daily for a three-month maximum cost of $222.93.
Other public performances that necessitate a SOCAN tariff licence include comedy and magic shows, fireworks displays and parades with marching bands or floats with music. | positive |
Where do people use iPhones, Android phones, Blackberries, and other devices? In our region, it appears Android is far more popular on the east side of the region than the west:
Tweets from iPhones are in red, Android in green, Blackberry purple. Image from MapBox. Click to toggle: All devices iPhone only Android only
Tom MacWright, who has written for Greater Greater Washington about open laws, made the tool for MapBox using 280 million Tweets, each of which has information about which kind of device the tweeter was using.
I initially expected to see a big blob of purple (Blackberry) in the federal core, but there is none; probably this is a combination of many federal agencies moving to iPhones, and federal workers not using their government phones for tweeting.
But really, these maps look awfully similar to the same maps of DC’s demographic divides:
Left: Race and ethnicity. Image from Wikimedia. Right: College degrees. Image by Rob Pitingolo.
Update: Several commenters noted that the combined map seems to overlay iPhones over Androids, so green areas are really areas with Androids but fewer iPhones. I’ve added a toggle to switch between the combined map, iPhone-only, and Android-only. | positive |
A sad day of indifference, for sure.
Award-winning pornstar, recent auteur and occasional indie actress Sasha Grey has written a special message to her fans, heard/read straight from AVN, the industry rag that named her Female Performer of the Year in 2008 (and Best Anal two years later).
Grey became relatively well known in the non-porn world for her role as Vince's girlfriend in HBO's "Entourage" and causing a bit of a stir after being cast as the lead in Steven Soderbergh's "The Girlfriend Experience."
Continue Reading
Rolling Stone magazine even devoted a full spread (pun intended) to "The Dirtiest Girl in the World" in 2009 much to everyone's confused delight.
She even reads, damn it.
Now Grey released her first book, Neü Sex, just last week and after enjoying the high of another mainstream crossover, she decided to put quill to parchment to write down her future goals and how the adult industry (at least the fucking part) doesn't quite fit into the "Neü" equation.
"I've always tried to be as open and honest with my fans (and onlookers) as much as possible. With the way social media has progressed, a lot of personalization has been lost. The purpose of this is to address the elephant in the room, and to thank all of you. It's become quite evident that my time as an adult film performer has expired. Don't worry, I haven't found Jesus. One thing is for certain, I'm proud to say I have no regrets, I genuinely feel I accomplished everything I could as a performer. I was able to work with the industry's most professional performers and companies, and I'll always cherish the friends and relationships I was able to build. It was simply the perfect time for me to move on ... while I was on top (pun indeed, intended). Life sometimes takes us in a direction we never could have imagined."
Grey then proceeds to thank a bunch of people and gush a bit more about her book and how it shares with the reader/voyeur (there are a LOT of photographs in there) her "visual mosaic through photography, my sexual philosophy, and observations."
Sasha Grey on Entourage.
Congrats to a young woman who might be the most successful crossover pornstar in the last decade - success for doing more than coming out with a sex toy or lingerie line and playing line-less roles as Stripper #4 in Nickelback music videos.
And we hope the good work keeps coming, but as everyone knows there always will be open arms in porn valley should Grey desire (or need) to return. A chick with a full bush and a fetish for anal always is welcome for a comeback. | positive |

Is Bob Chapman of the International Forecaster correct when he says that his sources state that there are actually 2,035 banks in trouble and that in 2010, he expects between 2500 and 3000 bank failures? (See below post for audio.) Is he also correct when he states that this will cost the FDIC some $800 Billion to $1 Trillion dollars? What about that $800 Billion that Fannie and Freddie supposedly need? I’m still searching for confirmation of those exact numbers. Is this what Chapman is talking about? Bank Agency Boosts Budget 35% The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. in the next year plans to add more than 1,600 staffers, mostly to handle bank failures, and is pushing its budget up 35% as the number of tottering banks climbs. More than 130 banks have failed this year, and the agency’s inventory of assets in liquidation has more than doubled from the beginning of the year to $36.8 billion through the end of November. The FDIC has also agreed to share future losses on the assets of more than 80 failed banks, representing $108 billion in additional exposure. In the agency’s 2010 operating budget, released Tuesday, the FDIC would spend $2.5 billion to fund its bank failure operations out of a total budget of $4 billion. The agency’s entire operating budget for 2009 was roughly $2.6 billion. “It will ensure that we are prepared to handle an even larger number of bank failures next year, if that becomes necessary, and to provide regulatory oversight for an even larger number of troubled institutions,” FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair said in a statement. In addition to expecting bank failures to increase, the FDIC said it expects the number of banks at risk of failing to rise in 2010. The FDIC has twice this year demanded banks pay billions in additional fees in order to keep its deposit-insurance fund solvent. Regulators give banks a secret rating of 1 through 5 as a measurement of their health. Banks with a 1 rating are considered the healthiest. “The number of 3-, 4- and 5-rated institutions has increased by over 80% thus far during 2009 and is expected to continue to increase next year,” the FDIC said. The forecast could mean further increases to the FDIC’s “problem list” of troubled banks, which stood at 552 at the end of the third quarter.

At the 52nd Chicago International Film Festival awards ceremony Friday, Romanian writer-director Cristi Puiu’s “Sieranevada” won the top prize, the Gold Hugo (named after a mythological god of discovery of shadowy origin) for best film in the international feature competition category.
Puiu, whose earlier works include the masterwork “The Death of Mr. Lazarescu,” also won the directing award.
Romania had a big night down in Streeterville, where the festival’s downtown Chicago venue, the AMC River East multiplex, is located. The Romanian/French coproduction “Graduation” from writer-director Cristian Mungiu, the filmmaker behind “4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days,” won both the screenplay award and best actor (Adrian Titieni).
For her methodically spellbinding performance as suicidal TV news reporter Christine Chubbuck, in the biopic "Christine," Rebecca Hall won the best actress award.
The Silver Hugo Special Jury Prize went to “The Salesman,” the latest examination of Iranian mores and no-win moral conundrums from writer-director Asghar Farhadi (“A Separation”).
In the New Directors competition, top prize went to Juho Kuosmanen's Finnish boxing biopic “The Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Maki.” “Samuel in the Clouds,” a world premiere for the Chicago festival, snagged best documentary.
Geraldine Chaplin served as this year’s international competition jury president. The complete list of winners is below; the festival continues through Thursday. Click here for the remaining daily line-ups.

When you work in the world of tech, blogging and online marketing, you may find yourself heading to Las Vegas more often than most. There is definitely no shortage of conferences, meet-ups and personal trips that all need to be attended.
But the one thing that keeps bugging me over and over about these trips to Vegas is the unavailability of Uber. It's not a stretch to say that I've become mildly addicted to Uber when I'm traveling. I still need my car to trek around Los Angeles and drive the occasional Uber passenger myself but when Uber comes in handy the most for me is when I'm away from home. And these days it seems like I'm away from home a lot: I travel all around the country for business and have now taken Uber cars in multiple states and countries.
Long-Hauled in Las Vegas
On my most recent trip to Vegas, I patiently waited in line for a cab and once I finally got in, my driver mentioned something about taking the freeway to avoid traffic. I nodded suspiciously but by the time I had mapped the route myself on my phone, it was too late. We were headed the long way to 'avoid traffic' despite Google Maps (which has Waze traffic integration built into it) telling me that the fastest route (and much shorter one too) was via surface streets.
Apparently, this tactic is somewhat common amongst Vegas cab drivers and it's referred to as long-hauling. Or deliberately taking customers from one place to another with a longer than necessary route in order to earn a higher fare. In an interview last year, two Vegas cab drivers revealed why the occurrence is so common.
“With these companies, it’s all about the average,” Joe said. “It’s not written down anywhere, but if you don’t meet the average, you will not drive. Or you’ll be (assigned to) a radio cab, or you’ll be (in) a restricted cab. So there’s a lot of pressure to keep up with the average.”
This problem might not disappear when Uber comes to town but since every ride is tracked via GPS, riders always have the option of requesting a fare review if they feel their driver's route was less than optimal. You can also rate your driver from one to fiver stars and drivers have to maintain a 4.6 rating or they're kicked off the platform. And just to be clear, I've never been long-hauled in the hundreds of Uber rides I've taken over the past few years.
Uber's Legal Battles
It might seem odd that nearly every major city in America has now adopted Uber yet the place that needs it the most is still trying to work a bill through state legislature. But it's not for lack of effort on Uber or consumers' part. In late October of 2014, Uber launched in Las Vegas despite getting 'the red light' from the state of Nevada. That experiment ended swiftly with Vegas Uber drivers being hounded by ski-masked agents in what seemed more like a terrorist shakedown than a simple impound of an illegal taxi vehicle.
Since then, Uber has petitioned riders and lobbied legislators to get Uber approved but there hasn't been much progress.
No, we do not need Uber in Vegas. pic.twitter.com/gEEobTNNBc — Jon Ralston (@RalstonReports) March 27, 2015
A Nevada senate committee recently passed an 'Uber bill' but that bill still needs to garner a 2/3 majority vote in the Nevada state senate. Ultimately, government regulators in Vegas have failed the people who want to see more competition in this industry. There's no doubt in anyone's mind that Uber will eventually make it to Las Vegas but the pace at which things are getting done is unbelievably slow.
Meanwhile, instead of trying to improve their product, entrenched taxi companies have spent their lasts breaths fighting Uber instead of challenging the antiquated regulations and rules that doomed their industry. I for one will not be sad to see taxis go the way of other industries unable to adapt. In the taxi war vs. Uber, Las Vegas is the last remaining stronghold but it appears that time is running out. | positive |
A NASA spokesperson has dismissed a major critique of the Science arsenic bug paper based not on the criticism's merits, but on its venue — it appeared in a blog rather than a peer-reviewed journal. Apparently ideas are valid (or not) based not on their content, or even the reputation of the author, but on where they're published.
NASA spokesperson Dwayne Brown expressed these rather anti-empirical notions in a CBC News story about the substantive and detailed reservations about the Science paper raised by University of British Columbia researcher Rosie Redfield in her blog, which I covered here night before last. As I noted then, Redfield's criticisms were quickly echoed by other qualified researchers. But Brown sets aside Redfield's critique without even referring to its substance or merits.
From "NASA's arsenic microbe science slammed," at CBC News:
When NASA spokesman Dwayne Brown was asked about public criticisms of the paper in the blogosphere, he noted that the article was peer-reviewed and published in one of the most prestigious scientific journals. He added that Wolfe-Simon will not be responding to individual criticisms, as the agency doesn't feel it is appropriate to debate the science using the media and bloggers. Instead, it believes that should be done in scientific publications.
This is a call to pre-Enlighentment thinking. Brown is telling us to judge utterances not by their content, not even by the integrity, reputation, and experience of the individuals who deliver them, but by whether they're delivered from the proper place in the proper building — in pre-Enlightenment days, the Church of Rome; in Brown's post-arsenic days, the Church of the Peer-reviewed Journal.
It's an extraordinary dismissal. Rosie Redfield is a full-bore member of the academy and a researcher in the field under question. She is — to extend the metaphor — a priest. But though Redfield wears the proper robes, Brown wants to dismiss her because she's not standing on the proper altar.
Even the best peer-reviewed journals make mistakes. Hype can take over. Groupthink can rule. People screw up. And sometimes journals defend mistakes by refusing to publish sharp critiques of them. All this stuff happens, and not just once in a blue moon. Peer review — and especially so in the sort of artificially and arbitrarily constricted sense that Brown gives it here.
What he fails to see or refuses to acknowledge is that Rosie Redfield is a peer, and her blog is peer review. NASA has bungled its presentation of this paper from start to finish. It makes worse by trying to dismiss critiques this way. This is the wrong stuff.
PS later Tue Dec 7: Grant Jacobs has a similar reaction to NASA's idea of free and open exchange of ideas, as does Deepak Singh. Texas A&M researcher Jim Hu adds some more peer review, most substantially here. And the Guardian has a good story tracker on the issue where they're posting updates as well.

Nearly $43 million of U.S. taxpayers’ money was spent on building a gas station in Afghanistan — 140 times more than it should have cost, according to a government watchdog.
The Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) also said that one of the most “troubling” issues is how the Department of Defense was unable or unwilling to explain why the “ill-conceived” project was so expensive.
“Even considering security costs associated with construction and operation in Afghanistan, this level of expenditure appears gratuitous and extreme,” SIGAR said in a report issued Monday.
The agency’s top official went further.
“It’s an outrageous waste of money that raises suspicions that there is something more there than just stupidity,” John Sopko, the special inspector general, told NBC News. “There may be fraud. There may be corruption. But I cannot currently find out more about this because of the lack of cooperation.”
Despite having vast natural gas reserves, Afghanistan is heavily reliant on importing petroleum products. The Downstream Gas Utilization project — overseen by the Task Force for Stability and Business Operations (TFBSO) — was aimed at changing that.
The mission involved building and operating Afghanistan’s first compressed natural gas filling station in the city of Sheberghan and helping develop the commercial market for domestic natural gas.
The problem was, according to SIGAR, is that there was “no indication” the Task Force studied the viability of the project — or considered the significant obstacles it faced — before construction began.

A feasibility study “might have noted” that Afghanistan lacks the distribution infrastructure to make such a market viable — and that converting cars from gasoline to CNG would be cost-prohibitive for most Afghans, SIGAR said.
Despite all of that, a contract for just under $3 million was awarded to a company called Central Asian Engineering in 2011. According to SIGAR, an economic impact assessment found the task force spent well beyond that —$42,718,730 — between 2011 and 2014 to fund the station’s construction and supervise its initial operation.
A CNG filling station “would have cost no more than $500,000 in neighboring Pakistan,” the report noted, calculating the “exorbitant cost to U.S. taxpayers” at 140 times higher than it should have been.
Sopko told NBC News it appeared that “nobody was minding the store.”
“This is one of the worst examples of poor planning and just sheer stupidity,” Sopko told NBC News. “It’s outrageous.”
He called the cost “indicative of a real serious mismanagement” but said perhaps the “more serious” issue was how the Department of Defense had failed to offer documentation or records on the project.
“I’m suspicious when I see something that cost 140 times more than it did and I find people trying to withhold or not cooperate with me,” Sopko said. “It raises my suspicions.”
Congress appropriated more than $820 million for the TFBSO between 2010 and 2014 for projects to support economic development, and SIGAR has been conducting a broader review of its activities.
The SIGAR report said a lack of cooperation from the Pentagon had “hindered” its review — an allegation flatly rejected by Principal Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Brian McKeon.
McKeon said the Department of Defense was not trying to restrict access but rather “quite the opposite.”
“We’re quite ready, willing and able to provide access to these records and we’ve made that plain to Mr. Sopko’s office,” he told NBC News. “We have a mandate under the law to provide access to documents and that’s what we’re doing.”
McKeon acknowledged that the $43-million price tag sounds like something “wasn’t done properly” but told NBC News he couldn’t speak to the details because the project “came well before” he took up his role in the Office of the Secretary of Defense.
“On the face of it that sounds like something might not have been done most efficiently but I don’t have the business expertise or knowledge on this project to tell you that it was done right or wrong,” he said. “Sopko — if he wants to find out more about whether the project was properly done — he can access the materials that we are making available to him.”
According to SIGAR, the Department of Defense responded to initial requests for information with a letter saying that it no longer had the “personnel expertise” to address Sopko’s queries because the task force was closed down in March 2015. A copy of that letter, from McKeon, was included in the report.
“They’re saying they can’t find anybody who knows anybody about this billion-dollar program? I’ve never encountered anything like this,” Sopko said. “It’s pixie dust. It’s sort of like — poof! The program disappeared and with it all recollection and memory.”

While Sopko told NBC News he was not alleging obstruction, he called the justification “unreasonable” and “incomprehensible” — especially given that the task force was shut down months, not years, ago.
“This was a horribly run, horribly managed program and it reported to the Secretary of Defense… But just because its embarrassing doesn’t mean you make the program disappear.”
In response to a draft of the SIGAR report, McKeon had written another letter — reprinted in the final report — saying the DOD had been fully prepared to give SIGAR access to documents and officials but that the office had “not availed itself of these offers of assistance.”
SIGAR and Sopko strongly disputed that, saying that promises of documents and access had never materialized despite repeated requests. Access to certain archived documents was offered under conditions of DOD review which SIGAR rejected, the report added.
Despite that, the SIGAR report said, Sopko plans to continue looking into the task force’s activities to look at how it operated, what it achieved and whether any criminal conduct occurred. The review into the gas station was one part of that.
McKeon told NBC News that he supports the work of SIGAR and other Inspectors General — and that he’s sure the answers Sopko and SIGAR are looking for can be found in the archived documents on the task force.
“I don’t know what a CNG facility in Afghanistan should cost,” he said. “I’m sure there’s a lot more information in the archive and records that show what the original estimates were and explain more why it cost what it did.”

(CBS News) Most of us remember big firsts in our lives. A first dance, first crush, first kiss... and for one 12-year-old boy, the latter will be remembered forever by him and a lot of music fans. Watch in the video above as a 12-year-old boy has his first kiss with - wait for it - Carrie Underwood!
The cute, funny and magical moment took place during Carrie Underwood's "Blown Away" concert in Louisville, KY for the young boy named Chase and was captured on video by YouTube user Mckenzie Butler who writes:
This 12 year old boy had a sign that read "Carrie be my first kiss?" and she brought him up on stage and did just that!
I have a feeling that Chase was definitely "blown away" by her concert tour (do you see what I did there?) Seriously, I almost died when thebold, young man said "lip to lip" to superstar Carrie Underwood. And for that, we here at The Feed would like to salute you for your bravery, Chase! I personally don't think I would have had it in me. What did you all think about it, though? As always, feel free to leave me some comment love below with your thoughts. | positive |

AN OBESE woman has been charged with rape after she allegedly pinned a man down during a break-in and forced herself on him as he slept.
The 31-year-old victim told police in Seattle he awoke in the night to find Chantae Gilman on top of him in his apartment in the west of the city, Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported.
Gilman, who weighs 110kg, had pinned the man’s arms down and had put his penis inside her, police said.
The man said he didn’t know Gilman but recognised her as a “drug user in the area”. The 28-year-old woman reportedly knew one of the victim’s neighbours in the apartment complex.
She refused the man’s demands for her to get off him and told him to be quiet.
Eventually he was able to squeeze out from under her and force her out of his apartment.
A sexual assault examination was performed on the man later in the day with DNA found on him said to match Gilman.
Gilman told police she didn’t remember having sex with the man and described herself as mentally ill.
She has been charged with second-degree rape. | positive |
After a bad previous relationship, Maddie's not ready for anything serious, but something light and bubbly--like an Italian soda--would be just the thing to brighten up a summer working at Campus Coffee. Enter Alessandro, a handsome, accomplished grad student in art, who strikes up a conversation with Maddie over the unicorn doodle she draws on his coffee sleeve. Before you know it, they are having the most amazing conversations. And yeah, other stuff follows, too. But the conversations are what got me.
Like here, when they talk about cappuccinos:
She poured a little hot milk into the espresso, then pushed lots of milk foam on top. "Are American cappuccinos way different from the Italian version?"
"Somewhat different, yes," said Alessandro. "But what does it matter?"
"Well, of course it matters," Maddie said. "They're not authentic."
"Yes, well..."Alessandro scratched the back of his neck. "I don't really believe in authenticity."
Maddie's surprised, and what follows is a conversation about food and authenticity. Alessandro is older and confident in his ideas; Maddie is less so, but she's not a pushover. She has ideas and she shares them.
And that's what makes this novel so special to me--that the main characters interact over ideas, over things like authenticity and art and talent. And yet you never feel like you're in a college discussion class--Montgomery keeps it real. And there are plenty of just plain funny bits, like here:
"Well, then," Maddie said. "Where would I find a model? Are you offering?"
He smiled. "If you want."
Maddie hadn't expected him to say yes, and she thanked all her stars that her face never flushed when she felt embarrassed, because she would have been turning purple. "I...uh...I...Why not?" she said, and had to turn away to hide her embarrassment under the bustle of fetching her sketchpad. "Do you say this to all the artists you meet?" she asked.
"Only the beautiful, talented ones," he said.
Her heart gave a pleasant thump. "Well, I'm glad you save it for just the talented hot ones," she said. "I guess you have to make sure we'll do justice to your physique."
He began to unbutton his shirt. "I am tormented by the vision of inaccurate sketches of my torso circulating," he informed her solemnly. "It keeps me awake at nights."
"Then maybe you should rethink this," Maddie said.
The Italian Soda Summer is the second in the series of romances, centered on Campus Coffee, that began with The Caramel Macchiato Kiss . Although this story is completely freestanding, fans of the first will be happy to know that Callie, Maddie's best friend from high school and the protagonist of The Caramel Macchiato Kiss, is present in this story, and she and Maddie share plenty of sisterly conversations.
Where The Caramel Macchiato Kiss was fun from top to bottom, The Italian Soda Summer is both more wish-fulfillment-y on the one hand (did I mention that Alessandro is loaded, whereas Maddie is struggling?) and more serious on the other. But not ponderously serious. Look out for the escargarlic! | positive |
It looks like PlayStation 3 owners could be in for a welcome surprise when they boot up their console tomorrow, at least if an apparent slip-up on Sony's European website is any indication. As a user on the NeoGAF forums noticed, it recently put up a page which revealed that 2.10 firmware update "was released on December 18, 2007," bringing with it a number of additions, including DivX support (with some limitations) and, as rumored, support for Blu-ray Disc Profile 1.1. You'll also apparently soon be able to take advantage of the new "Voice Changer" feature, which will let you disguise your voice in voice or video chat, and you'll be getting support for (VC-1) WMV files in addition to the aforementioned DivX ones. If any of that interests you, we'd suggest keeping an eye out, 'cause it sure looks like this one's about to drop.

The "'Treme' explained" posts are intended as an episode-by-episode guide to the many unexplained New Orleans references in the second season of HBO's "Treme."
This post contains spoilers.
It also contains a lot of information and links that might help viewers of the series better understand the show’s characters and stories, as well as the city and time period in which it’s set.
File your own review of the episode, which debuted May 8, 2011, here. If you have an explanatory note to supplement this post, type it in the comments section below. (It was a special challenge this week to ID all of the local actors and musicians, so please note all oversights or missed identifications, and they'll be corrected.)
For starters, review a comprehensive archive of the Times-Picayune's Katrina coverage, including an animated map of the levee failures. In addition, these books, links, CDs, DVDs and streams might prove helpful. Also, go deep into the musical culture celebrated throughout "Treme" at www.AmericanRoutes.org. The website for Nick Spitzer's American Public Media radio series, produced in New Orleans, has a searchable archive, and holds hundreds of hours of informative, pleasurable listening.
The title of the episode is "On Your Way Down," an Allen Toussaint song that can be heard playing in the jukebox as LaDonna closes Gigi's.
The episode was written by James Yoshimura, and directed by Simon Cellan Jones.
As the episode opens, Annie plays "Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most" with pianist David Torkanowsky at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. Later at the museum gig, they perform "Snooks' 2-Step," and Torkanowsky plays a solo version of "On the Sunny Side of the Street." The Ogden exhibit the scene is meant to re-create is Do You Know What It Means? The Aftermath of Hurricane Katrina: Photography by David Rae Morris. The photo of Sonny was created by the production. Some of the photos seen during the sequence appeared in a 2010 exhibit of Katrina photography titled "Telling their Stories: The Lingering Legacy of the Katrina Photographs."
Nelson is staying at the Royal Sonesta Hotel. (In the original script, it was the Ritz-Carlton New Orleans, but that hotel objected to this scene's nudity and some later dialog.) Sonny checks his ad (again) at the New Orleans Music Exchange on Magazine Street. Toni meets with her NOPD contact James Distel (played by Marc Menchaca) at Robideaux's Market, actually the shuttered Winn-Dixie at St. Louis and Marais streets.
Law-enforcement communications in the days immediately after Katrina, a time when store looting was widespread, were spotty. "With fire trucks and police cars blanketing the parking lot, we mistook it for a staging area for rescue operations," wrote Times-Picayune reporter Brian Thevenot of a visit to a Tchoupitoulas Street Wal-Mart, in an account (and follow-up) of the paper's post-Katrina reporting for the American Journalism Review. "It also appeared authorities themselves had opened the store to provide a lifeline to refugees. We could not have been more wrong. We fanned out inside the store, looking to get some interviews and a little food, but found the most basic fabric of society had dissolved. One man smashed the glass tops of jewelry cases, screaming, 'Free samples! Free samples!' Assembly lines ran from the electronics and computer sections to vans waiting outside, clogging the wide boulevard next to the Mississippi River. Cops and firefighters pushed carts alongside looters, who scrambled like coked-up ants through the massive store, slipping and sliding on its soaked and filthy floors. We interviewed looters and cops alike, finding conflicting accounts of how the store had been overrun – and why the authorities now helped loot it. Most cops stuck to the basics – but some joined the free-for-all. Photographer John McCusker snapped off a shot of a cop carting out an armload of DVDs before McCusker left, fearing for his safety."

Sofia rants about the cause-and-effect relationship between the oil industry and Louisiana coastal erosion. About oil-and-gas leasing fees: "Fifty-four years ago, Gov. Earl Long and Plaquemines Parish boss Leander Perez told President Harry Truman that Louisiana would not accept 37.5 percent of the oil and gas revenues derived from offshore production in the Gulf of Mexico," wrote former U.S. Sen. John Breaux in an August 2006 guest column in The Times-Picayune. "They wanted more. In fact, they wanted all 100 percent. But Truman wouldn't budge off of the 37.5 percent offer that Louisiana rejected. As a result, Louisiana got neither 100 percent nor 37.5 percent. We got nothing. Since then, the federal government has generated more than $160 billion from oil and gas revenues from submerged lands off our state's shore in the Outer Continental Shelf, and almost none of those funds have been shared with our state."
Yesterday it was the Humane Society of Louisiana dog-and-cat relocation spending versus New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin's efforts to restore electricity. The city had only a handful of electrical inspectors in the months after the storm, and a visit from one was required to have power restored in rewired structures -- and even to have power switched on in temporary housing like FEMA trailers. Toni's associate, Andrea Cazayoux, is played by Jen Kober, a Lake Charles, La., native who works as an actor and standup comedian.
They guy at Gigi's is not looking for Sydney's Saloon.
Sonny catches the New Orleans Cottonmouth Kings playing "Delta Bound" at The Spotted Cat. The Cottonmouth Kings splintered from the New Orleans Jazz Vipers, who performed in the second episode of season one, in 2009.
Dominic "Taz" Alexander delivers LaDonna to the emergency room. Her health-care providers are played by Kesha Bullard, Morrey McElroy, Nora Newbrough, Robinicole Kindrick and Han Soto. Dana Gourrier plays Det. Leroy.
Cecile Tebo, crisis unit-administrator for the NOPD, tries to get a mentally-ill patient admitted to emergency care. "The lack of hospital beds, and the distances police must travel to find them, has spread law enforcement resources thin at a time when the NOPD is already strapped in trying to deal with rising crime," wrote Times-Picayune reporters Laura Maggi and Kate Moran in an April 2007 story. "More and more mentally ill patients are winding up in jail, for lack of treatment options. The dearth of resources for handling psychiatric patients extends through both the public and private sectors, which have lost a combined total of more than 300 psychiatric beds in New Orleans alone."
Tebo said she got the part after an afternoon spent with the "Treme" writing staff to discuss the state of mental-health care in the city post-Katrina. "After spending several hours with the writers they decided that they would like for me to play my part in one of their episodes," she said. "The itty bitty piece exactly depicts the issue at hand when chronically mentally ill patients were brought into the emergency rooms immediately after Katrina. Today, University Hospital has done an outstanding job in creating a system of care for the NOPD when we bring a patient into their facility. However, patients continue to need access to longer-term beds for the chronically disabled, as the emergency room continues to be clogged with this population needing inpatient level of care services."
Driving to meet Robinette, Nelson listens to former New Orleans Saints QB turned radio analyst Bobby Hebert on WWL AM-870's "SportTalk." As usual, I couldn't understand a word either Hebert or his caller were saying.
NOPD's Capt. Marcus Grayson, played by Jon Eyez, references the conspiracy theory that implicates New Orleans mob boss Carlos Marcello and/or then-U.S. Vice President Lyndon Johnson in John F. Kennedy's assassination.

Jacques Morial, seen in season one, meets Sofia and Toni's assistant, played by LeToya Luckett, outside of City Hall.

At the time she started shooting her scenes, Luckett was working primarily with Melissa Leo, a very good actress. About halfway through the season's production, Luckett found herself working with Melissa Leo, Academy Award-winning actress. "Melissa Leo is phenomenal," Luckett said. "Even my first day on set, I was like, 'This woman is absolutely amazing.' She's one of the first people since I've been acting (who) pulled me aside and actually wanted a rehearsal before we were to shoot. I was in love with that. I love how serious she is. I love how down to earth she is. She introduced me to the show. I've been able to learn from her by watching her. She's amazing at what she does."

A veteran of local and touring stage productions, Rouzan easily tackled one of "Treme's" biggest technical challenges: All of the music performed on the show is recorded live. "It's not (difficult) for me, because I have a theater background," Rouzan said. "For me it wasn't a challenge at all. It was wonderful being able to do it live.

Okay, now here’s a real head-scratcher.
By all measures, 28-year-old Kevin Tarver is a pretty impressive individual. In a world rife with sin and temptation, he somehow manages to stay above the fray, abiding daily by the moral guidelines God has set forth for humanity, admirably resisting any wicked urges he may face. Seems like he’d be the most popular guy in town, right? Well, here’s where it gets weird: Even though, day in and day out, Tarver succeeds in keeping all of God’s commandments, somehow he doesn’t have any friends.

Huh. Truth really is stranger than fiction.
You’d think there must be some sort of logical explanation as to why a person who never makes any graven images and always honors his mother and father is utterly friendless, but no matter how you parse it, there’s just no making heads or tails of Kevin’s situation. After all, here’s a guy who never covets his neighbor’s wife or animals and who always makes sure to rebuke his coworkers if they take God’s name in vain. Who in their right mind wouldn’t want this guy in their squad? Who wouldn’t want to spend their Friday nights with someone so wholly in accordance with the laws of scripture? Apparently lots of people, because even though Kevin literally never ceases to obey the Lord, he still can’t get invited to a single party.
“Anyone who knows me knows that I will never kill them or bear false witness against them, but even with these assurances, no one seems to want to hang out with me,” Kevin said in his classic, totally awesome way that makes it all the more confusing why he can never get anyone to go grab tacos with him. “You’d think that when people see me praying or reading my Bible they would at the very least want to strike up a conversation. But no. I usually just spend my weekends alone on my couch, diving into God’s word.”

Kevin does acknowledge having once committed adultery in his heart after seeing a topless female character in the movie Starship Troopers, but that was over a decade ago. Surely that couldn’t explain his social alienation, as anyone who might know about his momentary lapse in faithfulness would also be aware of the extraordinary lengths Kevin went to to atone for the sin in the years that followed.
No matter what the cause, the fact that Kevin doesn’t have any friends is truly, deeply bewildering. Here’s hoping the people around him will come to their senses and start hitting up his cell phone soon! | positive |
Try this incredible interactive four BILLION pixel image of Everest that lets you zoom in as if you were actually there on the mountain
Astonishing image was created from 477 photographs stitched together
Created by filmmaker David Breashears and nonprofit organisation GlacierWorks to highlight the effect of climate change on the area
Team also produced stunning 'then and now' pictures to show the effect climate change on the area since 1921
Working with Microsoft on even more detailed version

It is an astonishing image that shows the beauty and majesty of the Himalaya region.
A climber and filmmaker has created the stunning mosaic of images to show the effect of climate change on the the area surrounding Mount Everest.
The 477 individual images that make up the gigapixel image of the Khumbu glacier were captured by David Breashears during the spring of 2012, from the Pumori viewpoint near Mount Everest.
Use your mouse to navigate around the image below, and click on the hand under the green boxes to jump to key areas (please note, this requires Flash so will not work on iPads or iPhones)
Mingmar, one of the team who captured the 477 images that make up the panorama - and they say they have thousands more ready for a larger version
To see more glacier images, visit GlacierWorks web site.
'The Khumbu Icefall is clearly visible here, and one can easily see the hustle and bustle of Everest Base Camp below', he told MailOnline.
The incredible image is made up of 477 images taken with a 300-millimeter lens.
Breashears and his team stitched them together to create one massive image that users can zoom in and out of.
'It's just extraordinary and we're so excited by that image, and people love clicking on things and zooming in,' he said.
' We want to tell the bigger story of climate change in the area, and we are working with Microsoft and the Royal Geographical Society on this.'
The team eventually hope to develop a far larger version of the image so detailed users can actually zoom inside tents at base camp
'Just 1/100th of our imagery is on the site, and the storytelling possibilities are incredible - people love to move things,' said Breashears, who has climbed Everest five times.
'It started out as a simple concept, and every time we visit we find out more - this is not even the tip of the iceberg, we want to take people all over the mountain with 120,000 pictures from a helicopter in the region.
'We are building this with Microsoft, and we could soon be able to combine the old and new pictures so people can virtually 'swipe' images to see how they looked in the past.'

MOUNT EVEREST
Mount Everest is the Earth's highest mountain, with a peak at 8,848 metres above sea level. In 1865, Everest was given its official English name by the Royal Geographical Society upon a recommendation by Andrew Waugh, the British Surveyor General of India. Waugh named the mountain after his predecessor in the post, Sir George Everest. It has become a mecca for climbers, and has two main climbing routes, the southeast ridge from Nepal and the north ridge from Tibet. The southeast ridge is technically easier and was the route used by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay in 1953 when they reached the summit for the first time.
The team has also been working with the Royal Geographical Society in London to create a series of 'before and after' photographs showing the effect of climate change since 1921.
'It's a very interesting time to be looking at the mountain,' said Breashears.
' After a while I became interested in climate change, and how it was affecting the area.
'Out of that came the idea for matching photography with Royal Geographical Society to show the first images from Everest with current ones. '
The team now plans to combine the two projects into a vast interactive image of the area so detailed viewers can actually zoom into camps of climbers and see inside tents.
'We are hoping to launch the next version in June next year, and this is really just a placeholder for what we want to do .
'You'll be able to zoom into tents, and swipe pictures to see how the view has changed over time.'
Breashears has spent most of his career working in mountain areas.
'When I was 23 I wanted to be a mountaineer after seeing the picture from the top of Everest taken by Sir Edmund Hillary.
'I First went to Himalaya in 1979 to climb Ama Dablam near to Everest, which is over 22,000 feet high.
'I was also becoming interested in photography, so for the past 33 years have been on 5 Everest ascents, including the first live broadcast, and first IMAX film from Everest.
He also revealed he is currently working with Working Title films on a movie set on Everest.
The Himalaya region seen the in map, showing the major landmarks, including the South Col route taken by by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay in 1953, which is now littered with the bodies of climbers
Then and now: The Main Rongbuk Glacier in the Himayala region photographed in 1921, left, and in 2009 by the GlacierWorks team. They hope the before and after images, which will eventually be incorporated into the interactive map, will raise awareness of climate change in the area.

ESCONDIDO, CA (Jan. 25, 2016) – This year marks Stone Brewing’s 20th year of brewing bold, flavorful and memorable craft beers and with this monumental occasion comes a tribute to fans for their two decades of steadfast support. The Stone 20th Anniversary Encore Series will reintroduce previously brewed fan-favorite beers, each for a limited time, throughout the anniversary year. The first in the celebratory series for 2016 is Stone 12th Anniversary Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout, making its comeback this week in 22-ounce bottles and on draft at select retailers, restaurants and bars in markets where Stone beer is sold.
In 2008, as the 12th anniversary approached, hops were in scarce supply. The brewing team embraced the worldwide hop shortage and brewed something rich and malty, pulling bitterness from pure cacao added at the end of the boil in place of hops. At the time, it was a rare venture into a realm explored less often by our brewers, and the outcome was highly acclaimed by fans (and still is to this day). Eight years later, Stone 12th Anniversary Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout has been rebrewed to the exact specifications of the original recipe and features artwork evocative of the first time it hit store shelves. The onyx-colored, malt-forward stout offers a thick, rich, roasty mouthfeel and sensual chocolate flavors and aromatics.
“Tasting Stone 12th Anniversary Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout fresh again after eight years is a real treat,” said Stone CEO & co-founder Greg Koch. “This beer became an instant classic that shares space on the top shelf of our liquid trophy case and we owe it to the fans who clamored for more to bring it back alongside a handful of other favorites this year.”
The Stone 20th Anniversary Encore Series lineup can be found online here. In addition to rereleasing eight fan-favorite beers this year, Stone Brewing will salute its 20 years with commemorative bottle caps and online stories designed to inspire the public to reminisce about their own Stone moments at Stone20th.com. The historical timeline will develop throughout the year, chronicling the company’s two decades, and fans can share their personal Stone memories throughout the year using #Stone20.
Just like the original batch, Stone 12th Anniversary Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout may be enjoyed fresh or stored for several years. With age and proper cellaring temperatures, the bitterness will subside, resulting in a more refined beer that showcases sweet chocolate flavor.

Gilsum Rock Swap and Mineral Show to be Held June 25-26, 2016
Keep updated on the best shows with the American Geode gem, mineral, jewelry and fossil show newswire and calendar!
Gilsum Rock Swap and Mineral Show press release for download
Gilsum Rock Swap and Mineral Show to be Held June 25-26, 2016
Gilsum, NH — The town of Gilsum, located in the scenic Monadnock Region in
southwestern NH, will once again host thousands of people from all over the
U.S. who will attend the Gilsum Rock Swap and Mineral Show. Here more than
65 dealers, swappers, distributors, wholesalers and collectors can buy, sell, or
swap beryl, quartz crystals, semi-precious stones, and rocks and minerals of
all sorts. Displays range from newly found specimens in the rough to fossils,
prized collector’s pieces and hand-crafted jewelry.
The event takes place at the Gilsum Elementary School grounds, Route 10 in
Gilsum, just north of Keene, NH, and is about 2 hours from Boston. Show
hours are 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM Saturday and 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Sunday.
This year’s event includes a two special presentations. Saturday, June 27th at
1:00 PM, geologist and collector Nancy Swing will discuss “Rockhounding in
New England.” Swing is a former professor of Geology and Oceanography at
the Community College of Rhode Island, has been the featured speaker at the
East Coast Gem and Mineral show for the last 14 years, and is a regular at
the Gilsum Rock Swap & Mineral Show. Prized specimens will be on display.
The presentation will be held at the Elementary School gymnasium adjacent
to the field.
In addition, noted collector Steve Garza will also offer a prospecting for
beginners demonstration, including the proper way to break a rock to uncover
the minerals or precious stones within. That takes place at 2:00 PM at space
#40 on the field.
Gilsum’s many mines operated until the 1940s and yielded feldspar, mica
and beryl. Most are now abandoned, although one, the Beauregard mine, is
available to mineral clubs through prior arrangement. Today collectors prize
other minerals such as beryl. Maps showing locations of local mines are
available during the show.
Since the show’s inception, the town of Gilsum has opened its doors for the
event. Activities include a presentation on prospecting Saturday, daily
pancake brunch, bake sale, book sale, a traditional Saturday night New
England ham and bean supper with homemade pies and a chicken barbeque
dinner Sunday afternoon.
Admission is free, although donations are graciously accepted. All proceeds
go to youth recreation and community programs.
For more information please contact Robert Mitchell at the Gilsum Recreation
Committee, P.O. Box 76, Gilsum, NH, 03448; call 603.357-9636; or send email
to gilsumrocks@gmail.com.

September 18, 2012
John Matthews is executive director of Madison Teachers Inc. (MTI), which played a crucial role in sparking the Wisconsin uprising against Gov. Scott Walker's assault on public-sector unions in winter 2011. Two busloads of Madison teachers and other activists attended the September 15 rally in Chicago to stand in solidarity with the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) in its struggle against Mayor Rahm Emanuel. Matthews spoke to Charles Peterson of the Madison CTU Solidarity Committee about the fight to defend public-sector unionism.
WHY DO you support the teachers strike in Chicago?
THE MTI Board of Directors voted to support their brothers and sisters of the Chicago Teachers Union not only because of CTU's support of those protesting Gov. Scott Walker's anti-public employee legislation in early 2011, but because their strike is over very similar issues.
Like Gov. Walker, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is trying to break the union, trying to defuse their power in bargaining and trying to weaken their political power. In Chicago, the mayor appoints the school board, so the board is responsible to him, not the public. He wants to privatize schools, and one way to justify that is to increase class size so the public schools fail. When they fail, he can move to private, for-profit charter schools.
Mayor Emanuel, like Gov. Walker, is taking the just-cause standard and due process from the Chicago teachers. This would enable termination "just because" he or a school administrator wishes, not because of a just-cause standard that can withstand due process of law.
Madison teachers march in solidarity with striking Chicago teachers at a solidarity rally
The union proposes class-size limitations to enable students to succeed and a teacher evaluation system, which is unbiased and fair.
WHAT DO you think the strike means for MTI and for teachers everywhere?
SUCCESS IN the CTU strike is important to all workers, public and private, because it will illustrate that workers bonding together for social and workplace justice can achieve what's essential to free working people.
WHAT ARE the similarities in the responses to the Chicago strike and to Wisconsin's Act 10 that suspended collective-bargaining rights of public employees?
DUE PROCESS of law and just-cause standards that provide employment security are important to those employed in public schools, because without such protection, a principal, with no-to-little observation of a teacher, can end a teacher's career. Gov. Walker's Act 10 destroyed those protections for teachers. Mayor Emanuel is attempting the same.
The principle of seniority when implementing layoffs is important to teachers, not only because it provides job security, but also because it provides a deterrent to school districts that seek to lay off those who, because of longer service or gaining greater education, receive a higher wage. Gov. Walker's Act 10 enables employers to abuse teachers in this way. Mayor Emanuel is attempting the same.
EMANUEL'S EFFORTS to privatize Chicago's schools are being portrayed by the corporate media as "school reform," with the teachers union standing in the way. Can you say more about how and why teachers are being vilified as opponents of "reform"?
THE MAYOR disguises "privatization" as reform. He wants more charter schools and for-profit schools. This is adverse to the goal of quality public education. The educational results of charter schools are not as good overall as those of public schools. The mayor proposes evaluation of teachers using test scores. This has been determined to be a poor and divisive method. It causes teachers to teach to the test rather than the most beneficial curriculum for students.
Mayor Emanuel opposes union-proposed reforms, such as lowering class size to enable teachers to identify a child's individual differences and unique learning styles. The teachers' union has proposed adding social workers. Such measures would be beneficial in helping students who live in poverty or who experience violence to cope and do better in school. | positive |
Timothy Carroll retired at age 33. He claimed he was “totally and permanently” disabled by the trauma of seeing dead bodies while working as a sheriff’s officer in Morris County, New Jersey.
“I suffer from crime scene flashbacks and hallucinations due to all the years I served as a crime scene detective,” stated Carroll in his disability application.
The real shock is Carroll then started a business that cleans up gory crime scenes, a New Jersey Watchdog investigation found. Yet the state continues to pay him a disability pension for life, a sum that could total $1 million or more.
Carroll’s company, Tragic Solutions LLC of Linden, N.J., specializes in removing human residue from “bloody and/or messy” scenes, including “murder, suicide, accidental, natural and decomposing deaths,” according to its website. He formed the business with Thomas Rohling, another former Morris sheriff’s officer who draws a state disability pension.
“I really don’t want to comment on this,” Carroll told NBC 4 New York, New Jersey Watchdog’s partner on the investigation.
“This says there is a problem with the whole pension system, the way the whole system is set up,” said John Sierchio, a trustee of the state Police and Firemen’s Retirement System (PFRS).
PFRS paid out $175 million to 5,067 disabled retirees in 2011—figures expected to rise when 2012 data are released.
Disability applications received by the PFRS have doubled in the past year—and 95 percent of those claims are questionable, according to Sierchio.
The supposedly career-ending incidents have included a fireman who fell out of bed while sleeping, an officer who fell off his chair while sitting down, cops who slipped on wet floors or icy sidewalks, and a patrolman who suffered emotional trauma because his lieutenant yelled at him during roll call.
“It’s people who don’t want to work anymore,” said Sierchio, a Bloomfield police sergeant who has served on the PFRS board since 2002. “The last two officers shot in New Jersey are back to work, but the guy who trips over a curb is sitting on a beach getting two-thirds (of salary) tax-free.”
In New Jersey, it’s relatively easy to fake or exaggerate an injury to get a disability pension. The PFRS has no staff to investigate fraud. Nor do any of the state’s five other retirement funds for public employees.
“No one is watching,” said Sierchio.
The Tragic Solutions case illustrates how weak laws, red tape, and lack of enforcement contribute to the woes of a state pension system that faces a shortfall of nearly $42 billion. New Jersey Watchdog obtained the records through Open Public Records Act requests.
In 1999, Carroll told pension officials he was unable to work because of post-traumatic stress disorder and depression caused by what he witnessed while responding to a car accident and three suicides.
“I started having crime scene flashbacks and hallucinations in 1997,” wrote Carroll. “In September of 1998, I suffered a hallucination while working at the courthouse. I was removed from work and placed in a mental hospital.”
Carroll began receiving disability checks after the PFRS board approved his retirement effective May 1999. Five years later—in April 2004—Carroll and Rohling formed Tragic Solutions, according to state business records. For Carroll, the timing would prove crucial.
Tragic Solutions was featured later that year in an Associated Press story on businesses that clean up crimes scenes. It included a photo of Carroll and Rohling posing in biohazard protection suits they wore on the job. The AP article mentioned they were retired cops, but nothing about their disability pensions.
After the PFRS board learned of Tragic Solutions, it could not halt Carroll’s disability benefits, currently $25,284 a year plus health coverage.
“In the performance of your job responsibilities with Tragic Solutions, you are exposed to crime scenes similar to those you were subjected to during your employment with Morris County as a crime scene investigator and upon which you were found disabled,” a state official scolded Carroll in a 2005 letter. | positive |

A Rare And Unique Individual – The Surprise Millionaires Skip to content Primary Menu Home About Get The Book! Search Search for: The Surprise Millionaires Ordinary People, Extraordinary Wealth! A Rare And Unique Individual July 14, 2019 surprisemillionaires One of the most rewarding things I have found while profiling Surprise Millionaires from around the world is discovering the unique characters that make up this special group of people. Today’s Surprise Millionaire is certainly no exception. From traveling the world on a budget to finding and donating extremely rare and unique books to his university’s library, Richard Lee Merritt certainly lived his life to the fullest (quite frugally of course). He and his wife never made large salaries but were still able to buy and rehab many properties in the San Francisco area (long before today’s premium prices!) and had a lot of fun doing it. This real estate formed the foundation of the multi-million dollar estate the Merritts left behind. This included the $2 million donation to the Maureen and Mike Mansfield Library at the University of Montana, Richard’s alma mater and the recipient of all of those rare books over the years. This was the largest bequest ever received by the library. Taking both the bequest and the book donations into consideration, Richard had donated roughly $3 million to the library over his lifetime! Quite an accomplishment I would say.

Link Copied to Clipboard. It's well-known among astrologists that the most charming, talented, beautiful, and of course, humble of all the zodiac signs is the Libra. I am definitely not biased because I'm a Libra. From September 22 to October 23, you too may be balancing feelings of delusion and narcissism with passivity and congeniality. That's predictable Libra energy and an energy that cannabis can help you refine and utilize well past this most glorious of all zodiac seasons. Navigate the cannabis universe with the Weedmaps app Libras are represented by scales and are the only zodiac sign that's not a thing but rather a concept: balance. And Libra is a cardinal sign, which means it heralds seasonal change with powerful transformative vibes. It's also an air sign, which indicates intellect, creativity, and communication. Libras often end up in positions of celebrity or influence, so it's likely you're already in one's orbit and/or low-key crushing on one. And who can blame you? Any potheads in the mood to lean all the way in and drink some of that trademark navel-gazing, galaxy-brain brilliant, balance-seeking air sign juice might want to consider trying one of these Libra-approved cultivars to activate their own inner Libra. Take it from me, an actual Libra. 24k Gold A fully realized Libra is aware that they must put their needs first since this air sign has a reputation for prioritizing the needs of others. So first things first, if you're looking to emulate the enlightened Libra experience, start by spoiling yourself with a strain named for one of the most precious of metals: 24k Gold. 24k Gold is a cross of Kosher Kush and Tangie that reportedly delivers a smooth head high and a velvety body buzz. For consumers hoping to channel some of the stillness Libras are so well-known for weaponizing, this could be a great mood-lifting and body-soothing cultivar to explore. Expect a bright citrus perfume and a commensurate exhale. Find 24K Gold strains Blue Champagne Libras are known for being present, social, creative, and blissful. If you're not already a Libra, Blue Champagne might help you juggle those traits as gracefully as if you actually were. For anyone who'd like to channel that powerful, creative aura as they lean into the more introverted, productive qualities of the season, Blue Champagne may be the perfect peppy hybrid for your autumnal stash box. It reportedly delivers a thoughtful, giggly head high that engages creativity and a fizzy body buzz that sustains focus. Expect a fruity sweetness in the nose and a candy-pine exhale. Find Blue Champagne strains Royal Highness On the more manageable end of the THC spectrum is Royal Highness, a lower-potency hybrid with a reputation as a stellar daytime strain. Coming in at 13 - 15% THC on average, Royal Highness is a cross of the sativa-leaning hybrid Dance Hall and the 1:1 CBD:THC strain Respect. The resulting cultivar delivers a gently invigorating and easily managed buzz. Consumers report head highs that feel uplifting and euphoric and body effects that, while perky, are relaxing enough to keep the whole experience from becoming manic. Expect an earthy, sweet perfume and a woody, botanical exhale. Find Royal Highness strains Trash Embrace your inner Libra by acknowledging that your humanity includes less than desirable traits and finding balance for those traits can be difficult. Tap into those feels with the aptly named Trash, a cross of Purple Trainwreck and Afghani Hash Plant that delivers contemplative effects and a nuanced body buzz that is both mollifying and a little energizing. Bonus: Libras are notorious flirts. And because Trash has a strong reputation for arousal, a few puffs could allow you to perform your sexiest, flirty-Libra fantasies. Expect a lemon sweet perfume and a hashy, dank exhale. Find Trash strains Emerald OG Libra energy is aggressively charismatic, which frankly, is not universally enjoyable. And if Libra season is all about finding balance, then for some, that means blocking all those sunny waves of high-impact affability. Emerald OG is a deeply tranquilizing cultivar bred from Fire OG and Emerald Diesel, and the resulting effects can be profoundly sedative in both the mind and body. So when the cool fall winds feel a bit too much and you're exhausted from everyone around you, consider a few puffs of Emerald OG. It may just recalibrate and rebalance your Libra season experience as you become one with your couch, bed, yoga mat, or floor. Expect a peppery, citrus funk in the nose and a spicy sweet exhale. Find Emerald OG strains Fucking Incredible To truly indulge the Libra season experience, you should score at least one rare strain where no one can nail the origin — like, for example, Fucking Incredible. This mysterious, pure indica strain was bred from unknown origins by Vancouver Island Seed Co., and it certainly delivers a high potent enough to justify such an arrogant name. Consumers report a smooth blossoming of physical effects and a cool bliss in the headspace. If Libra season is challenging you to balance public charm with private tranquility, consider being Fucking Incredible and just sleep the whole affair right off. Expect a pungent skunk fragrance and a skunky, herbal exhale. Find Fucking Incredible Link Copied to Clipboard. Brianna Wheeler Brianna Wheeler is a writer and illustrator in Portland, Oregon.

This is an expansion of some sleep-deprived comments I made at the end of Dragon*Con. As you can tell, I have my concerns.
I’m going to have more to say on this. I don’t know if anyone who reads this blog cares very much, or if the people who care read this blog. But I don’t want to just grumble to myself. Please bear with me, and I’ll go back to teasing Phil Plait soon.
We just finished Dragon*Con for 2010. Once again, we had a little island of skepticism amidst the 35,000 attendees in downtown Atlanta. All the panels were well-attended and it seemed like the audience had a lot of fun.
Why do I feel we need to fix things?
The Skeptrack at Dragon*Con always attracts good crowds and good speakers. But it’s starting to look a lot like one of the TAMs in Las Vegas. I suppose this is natural, since the JREF organizes the TAMs and plays a big role in Dragon*Con. The Amaz!ng Meeting has justifiably become the model of how to run a successful convention. So what’s my frakkin’ problem?
My frakkin’ problem is that D*C is not a TAM. TAMs attract some 1,000 people who have paid about $350 each to talk to skeptics about skeptical issues. The audience at TAM is probably at least 90% dedicated skeptics. (A year ago, I would have thought it was 100%. But I know now there are many definitions of what makes a “skeptic.” If you are going to claim that Christians and other religious people cannot be skeptics, you are going to lower your percentage. You are also wrong, but that’s another topic.) With that many skeptics in the crowd, you can schedule some esoteric navel-gazing topics. In fact, you’re pressured to, because so many people have already had enough “Skepticism 101” talks.
D*C is not that. D*C has roughly 35,000 people who paid $50 to meet TV and film stars, talk about comics, or fantasy/sci-fi books and films, wear elaborate costumes, generally commune with like-minded fans, and soak in alcoholic beverages. (Okay, so it’s not entirely unlike TAM.) There are different options around every corner, and the main goal is to be excited and entertained.
Unfortunately, the schedule of talks in the Skeptrack room skewed hard to the esoteric navel-gazing.
Imagine you are a science fiction/fantasy fan. You’re walking around D*C with your giant schedule booklet. You see that there is a fan-led discussion about the differences between Joss Whedon’s vampires and those in the show True Blood. There is also a talk by Jason Momoa about some of the behind-the-scenes moments on the set of Stargate: Atlantis. You just saw Summer Glau walking into the autograph room. Your eyes finally go past the Skeptic Track schedule, and you see “Diversity and the Freethought Movement.” What is the average Dragon*Con attendee going to say?
There’s no way to tell, but I bet it’s not going to be “diversity? holy crap, that sounds great — Jason Momoa can piss off!” I think it’ll be something more like “I didn’t know C-SPAN was heOMGITSSUMMERGLAUOMGOMGOMG!” That’s assuming their eyes didn’t just gloss over and slide past the diversity panel without it registering.
Note that I am not saying the diversity talk was bad. I didn’t go, but I had several friends and at least one spouse actually on that panel. Knowing them, it was probably a perfectly interesting, educational, and hilarious talk. But the only people who are going to go to that are people who:
Know what the freethought movement is
Know there are issues with it regarding diversity
Are more interested in it than in everything else going on at that time
In short, it’s going to appeal to skeptics. In less short, it’s going to appeal to skeptics who are also part of the freethought crowd. In still longer, it’s going to appeal to skeptic freethinkers who want to hear about why skeptic freethinkers are mostly white. There is absolutely nothing in the title or the description to attract the type of person who normally comes to D*C. (That talk would go over well at TAM. In fact, I believe it has in the past.)
The result: We fill the room with a lot of familiar faces. People who have been to TAM, or people active in local skeptic groups. We end up talking to each other. The other 34,900 people go back to meeting the cast of Eureka.
It gets worse. I don’t know the percentage of religious people at D*C. In my informal observations, religious belief among sci-fi fans is less pronounced than among the general public, but smart money is still on the majority of the attendees being Christians. With that in mind, I was dismayed to see a talk titled “Why it Makes No Sense Not to be an Atheist and a Skeptic.” Not only are we alienating the majority of the D*C attendees (even the non-religious types are probably not coming to D*C for philosophical posturing), but we are once again stiff-arming our own attendees who either are religious or don’t want to shut out religious people. If you are religious and you see that talk listed, not only are you not going to attend, but you’ve just been soured on all the other topics in the track.
I didn’t go to that one, either. There are always other options at D*C.
I may be way off on this. If the goal of the skeptic track is to actually be another TAM for skeptics who couldn’t make it to Vegas, then it’s succeeding. If butts in chairs is the most important metric, then we seem to be on the right course.
If that’s the case, we’re missing a huge opportunity.
So what do we do?
I have some ideas. I’m going to be expanding on them some very soon here. I don’t know if any of them will make sense, but I do think we have to change things up before we start to stagnate in our own insulated skeptical bubble.
Stay tuned!

Financial Institutions: 8 Rapid Changes in Digital Payments Visit seeburger.com Career Contact English Deutsch Financial Services What is the future of digital payments? 19 October 2020 | Peter Valckx | Vice President of Sales Europe, SEEBURGER As the COVID-19 pandemic shifts the world toward contactless shopping and touch-free transactions, many businesses are asking customers to avoid paying with cash. The pandemic has also brought to the surface inefficiencies in traditional payments for the B2B space, due to cash management and liquidity challenges.[1] So, what is the future of payments? Let’s examine recent changes and their influences, how digital payments will look in the coming months, and how financial institutions can prepare for the future. What has been changing with digital payments? The pandemic has been a catalyst for eight rapid changes I have seen in the banking industry over the last six months. Growth of service providers – The payment industry is witnessing a growing emergence of a wider group of players and service providers alongside traditional banks. The pandemic has intensified this growth. Growth of alternative payment methods – This has been driven by retail customer demand and the diversification of banking services in an increasingly consolidated and competitive market. With the benefits of digital payments extending beyond borders and institutions, at least 70 new eWallet providers have been established in the ASEAN market alone. 60 percent of U.S. customers use mobile devices to make payments, and digital payments in Europe will hit $802 billion in 2020[2]. Bank partnerships – Traditional banks are evolving and re-evaluating their services to remain competitive, in addition to partnering with FinTechs, and buying software companies. Standard Chartered Bank, for example, recently launched a virtual bank called Mox in partnership with a number of technology companies, including Trip.com. Traditional banks will continue to partner more exclusively with tech firms to diversify, extend their service offerings, and remain relevant in the 21st Century. Remote payments – In 2017, contactless payments in the UK increased by 97 percent to 5.6 billion payments,[3] but that was just a start. In 2020 contactless payments grew 40% according to Mastercard,[4] largely due to the pandemic, and people wanting the benefits of digital payments. We will surely continue to see growth in contactless and instant payments as more people purchase more goods and services online. Many businesses, including Nike, that saw digital sales jump 82 percent from June to August 2020, expect a permanent shift to online sales.[5] Payments consolidated with services – More services are available in one place for customers, with integration across the ecosystem. Banks and service providers are working toward making information available to customers through one, rather than multiple, user interface. Utility providers, for example, are enabling bill pay transactions and tying payments with billing and contracts through one centralized portal. Regulation and compliance – With more consumers and businesses capitalizing on the benefits of digital payments, the likelihood of fraud and money laundering increases. Heightened awareness of transaction risks and user risks has further pushed the focus for regulations on digital governance, which requires real-time risk profiling and risk calculation before, for example, granting a loan agreement. Open banking and greater interoperability between banks – Open banking still faces roadblocks in certain areas of the world, but financial institutions are driven to develop APIs for greater transparency options with bank statements and account transfers. Developing APIs are considered by some to be analogous to opening a traditional bank branch on a major street. Increase in real-time payments – Some banks are taking the steps to move forward with real-time payments initiatives where possible. “As transactions switched rapidly from checks to electronic methods, we felt it was important to push the development of this new payment rail to help clients manage their businesses,” Reetika Grewel, Head of Commercial Banking Digital, JP Morgan Chase.[6] Why are these changes occurring? The future of payments is being influenced by multiple factors: Globalization of supply chains is increasing despite environmental and societal challenges. More people and businesses want the benefits of digital payments than ever before. People expect rapid responses and instant gratification. The role of banks has shifted to transaction processor rather than a monolithic entity. A drive toward digital inclusion is enabling banking capabilities where banking hasn’t existed before, with new modes of engagement between banks and their customers. Inefficiencies in payment processing have been under scrutiny by banks wishing to maintain corporate clients. What will payments look like in the next year or so? I believe we can expect to see continued growth in globally-available payment services from providers outside customers’ regions, along with increased innovation, diversification, acquisitions and choices. Indeed, businesses will have more cost-competitive choices due to the strong competition between banks and payment service providers. Currently around the world, transaction volumes are reaching critical mass with over 50 real-time domestic instant payment initiatives and two major Pan-European initiatives. Although corporations can make payments globally to suppliers now, in the next several years, we will see more price-competitive offerings. For example, Bankgirot was recently acquired by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority P27. Together, they will be able to “take the lead in building the world’s first integrated cross-border and cross-currency payments region, facilitating the needs of banks, consumers and society at large.”[7] How can financial services institutions prepare for the future? Innovation and integration are key to preparing for the future. FinTechs, Challenger banks, and payment services providers (PSP) are arguably more capable of innovating in short timeframes than traditional banks. The pandemic has been a wake-up call for traditional banks to re-assess their cultures and overinflated processes while striving to present consolidated and real-time financial services to consumers that are not limited to payments. According to the CEO of a small, innovative bank in Europe: “Everything now is becoming real-time, including lending. This goes not only for the delivery of the funds, but also for the decision-making — both should happen almost instantaneously. The application process is also becoming seamless. Compare this to the way lending has been done for ages and is still done in many markets. Think of all the packs of documents needed, the army of bank clerks involved. The digital footprint we now leave all the time provides lenders with live data. Ultimately, this changes the way banks serve their customers’ needs.” Some of the ways institutions can prepare for tomorrow: Innovate with new products and propositions that follow the customer’s journey. Deliver compelling user experiences to lock in behavioural changes, such as viewing integrated financial services in one portal. Deliver more flexible pay-as-you-go pricing models. Focus on remote, contactless, digital payments and overlay services. Continue to reduce their physical footprint (bank branches) and redeploy staff as digital adoption levels rise. Create a leaner and scalable cost base by 25 percent or more. Maintain control in three key areas to ensure they are future-proof and relevant: bank accounts, balance sheets, and guardians of digital ID. Increase interoperability between traditional bank legacy and open APIs to enable faster banking processes, while standardizing and commoditizing APIs. Drive applications to the cloud in strategic ways to improve efficiency and save costs. The future requires an innovative shift to open APIs and digital operating models, and integration is essential for this to happen. If banks are going to lend solely through APIs in the future, then they must achieve full digital transformation. To prepare for the future of payments, financial institutions must redesign and increase their digital footprint with better front-end channels. Legacy systems weren’t built for real-time payment processing and the current market demands. Innovation for the future requires digital capability, and SEEBURGER can help with that.

SANTA ANA – A man suspected of driving under the influence in a freeway crash that killed a 10-year-old girl on I-405 in Seal Beach on Monday was on probation for a prior DUI conviction, authorities said Wednesday.
Adam Kanas, 36, of San Clemente was charged on Wednesday with one felony count of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated with a prior conviction and three felony counts of driving under the influence of drugs and causing bodily injury.
Prosecutors said Kanas was driving under the influence of cocaine and opiates at 9:20 a.m. Monday when his 2013 Chevy Tahoe swerved left over the double yellow line into the carpool lane and struck the rear of a 2015 Tesla near the Seal Beach Boulevard exit on northbound I-405.
The impact sent the Tesla – carrying 10-year-old Kendra Geddis; her sister Kayla Geddis, 13; and their father, Don Geddis, 49, all of Hillsborough – into the rear of a Honda Civic. Kendra Geddis, who was asleep in the back seat with her sister, was killed. Her father and sister were seriously injured. He was discharged from the hospital, a hospital official said Wednesday evening. Kayla was still in critical condition.
Prosecutors accused Kanas of speeding at up to 80 mph and making unsafe lane changes at the time of the crash. At the time of his arrest, he displayed signs of intoxication, prosecutors said.
Kanas and the driver of the Honda Civic were not hurt.
On Wednesday, Kanas appeared briefly in Orange County Superior Court and pleaded not guilty to the charges. If convicted, he faces a sentence of 41 years to life in prison, said Deputy District Attorney Jennifer Walker.
Court records show that Kanas has a prior conviction for driving under the influence in March 2015 in Los Angeles County. In 2014, he had a prior strike conviction for first-degree burglary in Los Angeles County.
He was sentenced to three years of probation and ordered to complete a three-month, first-time-offender alcohol and drug education program.
He was being held in Orange County Jail in lieu of $1 million bail and was scheduled to appear for a pretrial hearing Aug. 25.
Kendra Geddis was set to start the sixth grade, and her sister is an eighth-grader in the Hillsborough City School District on the San Francisco Peninsula. Their father is president of the school board.

ISO - ISO 20620:2021 - Fertilizers and soil conditioners — Determination of total nitrogen by combustion Skip to main content Applications OBP English français русский Menu Standards About us News Taking part Store Search Cart ISO 20620:2021 p ISO 20620:2021 78897 TCISO/TC 134 ISO 20620:2021 Fertilizers and soil conditioners — Determination of total nitrogen by combustion Abstract Preview This document specifies a method for the determination of total nitrogen content in all nitrogen containing fertilizers by combustion method. NOTE 1 The presence of non-nutritive sources of nitrogen (e.g. chelating agents) causes positive bias to samples being analysed for nutritive nitrogen content. The non-nutritive nitrogen content is subtracted from the total nitrogen value to determine the nutritive nitrogen content.

What is a Living Will? Skip to primary navigation Skip to main content Skip to primary sidebar Skip to footer The Humphries Law Firm P.C. Craft Legal Solutions Home Services Civil Litigation Real Estate Estate Planning and Probate Maritime/Admiralty Intellectual Property Team Blog Podcast Contact May 28, 2020 By Russell D. Nugent What is a Living Will? A Living Will is a document used to tell a person’s treating physician they do not want to be kept alive artificially in the event they are permanently incapacitated; for example, they have no brain activity, are in a persistent vegetative state or a coma. A Living Will communicates medical decisions to physicians about life-prolonging measures. Life-prolonging measures are defined under North Carolina law as medical treatment meant to artificially prolong a person’s life by sustaining a vital function such as heartbeat or brain activity. A lot of people do not want to be kept alive if they do not feel they will have a certain quality of life or if they are a financial burden to their friends and family. Since people can find themselves in these situations with little to no warning, the law has provided a way for people to make their wishes clear in advance. The term Living Will is another term for what the law calls a declaration for a desire for a natural death. NCGS Chapter 90 Article 23 is not a law that authorizes assisted suicide, rather it clarifies that people have a right to die naturally and can communicate that decision before some life-altering event prevents them from doing so. It also states that doctors relying on a Living Will are not committing a crime or professional malpractice by abiding by the instructions in the Living Will. Because of that, it is very important to understand what situations the statute covers. A Living Will in North Carolina can be effective in the following situations: The person has an incurable or irreversible condition that will result in their death within a relatively short period; They become unconscious and, to a high degree of medical certainty, will never regain consciousness; or The person suffers from advanced dementia or any other condition resulting in the substantial loss of cognitive ability and that loss to a high degree of medical certainty, is not reversible. As a result, the person creating the Living Will, the Declarant, needs to make sure that what they specify in their Living Will, at least falls within these categories. A valid Living Will must be executed in front of two witnesses and a notary. There are restrictions on who can be a witness to a Living Will. Doctors have a right to decline to abide by instructions to withhold life-prolonging treatment so it must be clear whether you are expressing a preference of giving instructions to your physician. A Living Will can specify whether you want specific types of life-prolonging treatment such as artificial hydration and/or nutrition or antibiotics. It is also crucial that if you have executed a health care power of attorney that you specify whether it controls over the current Living Will. One great way to frustrate your plan to create documents that can be read to conflict with each other. An Estate Planning directive like a Living Will needs to be clear-cut and precise. Estate Planning is an area of life in which the old saying, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”, is particularly true.

Russia's Gazprom Neft, the oil arm of state-controlled energy giant Gazprom, wants to start oil production at the Junin-6 block in the oil-rich Orinoco River belt in Venezuela in 2013, CEO Alexander Dyukov said on Thursday.
Russia's Gazprom Neft, the oil arm of state-controlled energy giant Gazprom, wants to start oil production at the Junin-6 block in the oil-rich Orinoco River belt in Venezuela in 2013, CEO Alexander Dyukov said on Thursday.
"We are discussing a possible launch of early production in 2013 with the Venezuelans," Dyukov told an annual shareholders meeting, adding that Gazprom Neft planned to make exploratory drillings at the deposit in 2011.
Junin-6 is developed by the National Oil Consortium (NOC), which includes Russia's large oil companies Gazprom Neft, Rosneft, TNK-BP, Surgutneftegas and LUKoil. The NOC plans to develop Junin-6 Block as part of a joint venture with Venezuelan state-controlled oil company PdVSA, or Petroleos de Venezuela, Sociedad Anonima, which has a 60 percent stake in the joint venture.
Geological reserves of the Junin-6 block are 52.6 billion barrels of oil, while recoverable reserves amount to 10.96 billion barrels. The block area totals 447.85 square kilometers.

Buffalo Bills safety Jairus Byrd signed his one-year franchise tender on Tuesday to end his holdout after not getting a long-term contract done by the July 15 deadline.
While he may be back in Buffalo's nest now, it's unsure just how long he will remain there.
According to ESPN's Ed Werder, Byrd is hoping to be traded by the NFL's trade deadline that falls on October 29. Werder credited his sources during a segment on ESPN's new "Insiders" television show that airs weekdays at 3pm on ESPN.
Immediately after those comments, Adam Schefter added the following: "Jairus Byrd is back in Buffalo, but that doesn't mean this situation is over."
So far, Werder is the only "insider" who has publicly stated that a trade may be what Byrd is looking for by reporting. Until more reports come out stating the same, it may be best to just treat this as a grain of salt for now.
A couple of hours after the show aired, Werder clarified his remarks a bit for those on Twitter.
A big difference than saying, "a source says Byrd is hoping to be traded."
It's no secret that Byrd wants to be paid like the top Safety in the NFL. It's one of the primary reasons the team and player couldn't come to a multi-year agreement earlier in the year.
Until Byrd comes out and publicly states he no longer wants to be in Buffalo, one has to assume whether it's just a negotiating tactic for when the time comes to talk contract again. Byrd could be playing the game of "you need me a lot more than I need you."
Needless to say, it is sure to be an interesting few months in Buffalo as the 2013 season commences. | positive |
Even though Kelvin Gastelum has a fight with Court McGee scheduled for next month, “The Ultimate Fighter” season 17 winner can’t help but think ahead to the future.
By no means is Gastelum (7-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) overlooking McGee (16-3 MMA, 5-2 UFC), but with a victory on Dec. 14 at UFC on FOX 9, the 22-year-old thinks he is ready for a big push toward the top.
“I just want to get some high profile fights,”Gastelum told MMAjunkie.com. “When I win, I want maybe a top-20, top-15 guy. I like to challenge myself.”
Thus far, Gastelum hasn’t faced too much challenge inside the octagon. The undefeated fighter blew through the competition on “TUF” and has continued to impress with back-to-back wins in the UFC.
With Gastelum’s career continuing to build momentum, he was recently brought in to help UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre prepare for his upcoming UFC 167 title defense against Johny Hendricks.
The Arizona native is aware few fighters have the privilege of training with “GSP,” and the fact he was selected to participate only bolsters his confidence.
“[Georges] requested to have me brought up here, and I’m here and I couldn’t be any happier.” Gastelum said. “I’ve seen him fight since I was 16, 17 years old, and to train with him is an honor.”
With the talent potential to one day become a serious player in the UFC’s welterweight division, Gastelum hopes he’ll be a trailblazer for the sport as it grows around the world.
The UFC is planning to make its debut in Mexico in the coming months, and considering Gastelum’s Latino background, he would like nothing more than to have a meaningful fight at the inevitable event.
“Hopefully we can get a card going in Mexico by next year,” Gastelum said. “I would want a big fight in Mexico.”
Even though he has major hopes and dreams for the future, Gastelum’s sole focus at this point is defeating McGee, who is one of the most durable athletes in the sport and has not been finished by knockout or submission in 19 professional fights.
McGee is another “TUF” winner, which means the matchup will mark the 10th time in company history two winners of the show have squared off.
Gastelum views McGee’s grittiness as something to overcome when the cage door closes, but with that said, he full intends to be the first to stop “The Crusher” inside the distance and take another step toward fulfilling his career goals.
“I’m going to be training for a 15-minute war, but hopefully I can finish him in the first round,” Gastelum said. “We’ll find out who the real ‘TUF’ guy is.”
UFC on FOX 9 takes place at Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento, Calif. The evening’s four-fight main card airs on FOX. Eight preliminary bouts, including Gastelum vs. McGee, air on FOX Sports 1 and stream on MMAjunkie.com.

Mission Waco’s ‘Church Under The Bridge’ celebrates 25th anniversary
Every Sunday morning for the last 25 years, Church Under The Bridge has transformed a nondescript patch of concrete underneath I-35 across from the Baylor campus into a church where it doesn’t matter what you’re wearing or where you live. Countless Baylor students have ventured over from campus to join worshippers — many of whom are poor, homeless, and/or battling addictions — and build unlikely friendships while gaining the kind of understanding you can’t learn in a class.
This weekend, Church Under The Bridge celebrates its 25th anniversary. Baylor alumni Jimmy (BA ’72, MA ’93) and Janet (BS ’80, MS ’02) Dorrell had just founded Mission Waco in 1992 when Jimmy began having weekly breakfast with a few homeless men, who asked him to host a Bible study under the bridge. That week, Jimmy brought his Bible and Janet brought her guitar, and the foundations for Church Under The Bridge were set. Fast forward a quarter of a century, and today, more than 250 visitors come together each Sunday for church — still led by Pastor (now Dr.) Dorrell.
Over the years, Jimmy and Janet have kept a close relationship with their alma mater (and her students) as they impact the city. A steady stream of Baylor students attend Church Under The Bridge and/or volunteer through one of Mission Waco’s many community outreaches. Still others gain understanding of the plight of the homeless through Mission Waco’s famous poverty simulations. The Dorrells also teach at Baylor; both serve on the faculty of the Honors College’s Philanthropy & Public Service program, and Jimmy also teaches at Truett Seminary.
Church Under The Bridge is a big part of what the Dorrells do, but it’s just one outreach of many to the city. Mission Waco is also celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. Its relationship-based mission is to empower the marginalized, mobilize middle-class Christians to see how they can help, and address systemic issues that marginalize the poor. Their outreaches include a non-profit grocery for low-income residents in North Waco, the redevelopment of a once drug-ridden corner of the city with a theater and restaurant, GED classes, a homeless shelter, and more.
In a recent interview, Jimmy shared a saying that sums up much of what they do: “You say you love the poor; tell me their names.” Thousands of marginalized people are a name, a face and a friend to the Dorrells, as well as to Church Under The Bridge and Mission Waco staff and volunteers.
Sic ’em, Church Under The Bridge! | positive |

H2020-EU.1.3.2. Overall budget € 158 121,60 EU contribution € 158 121,60 Coordinated by BARCELONA SUPERCOMPUTING CENTER CENTRO NACIONAL DE SUPERCOMPUTACION Spain Periodic Reporting for period 1 - DPETNA (Dynamics and Predictability of the ENSO teleconnection to the Tropical North Atlantic) Reporting period: 2015-06-01 to 2017-05-31 Summary of the context and overall objectives of the project DPETNA aims at exploring the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) influence on the tropical North Atlantic (TNA) sea surface temperature (SST). The SST variability in the TNA region has been observed to affect weather and climate in surrounding areas, including European heat waves, tropical Atlantic hurricane activity, the West African monsoon, and rainfall over north-eastern Brazil. Fishery production in the subtropical Atlantic is, likewise, closely related to TNA SST anomalies. Hence, better understanding the predictability sources of the TNA SST variability is of major relevance, not only for the climate forecasting community but also for different socio-economic sectors. The scientific objective of DPETNA is to advance understanding of the simulation and prediction of TNA SSTs at seasonal-to-interannual timescales. The main goals are to gain insight into the dynamical mechanisms at work, and to assess the ability of current seasonal forecast systems in representing the ENSO-TNA remote connection. Climate model deficiencies and biases, which lead to uncertainties in their forecasts, will also be addressed. The novelties of DPETNA are (i) the evaluation of a new teleconnection mechanism to explain the timing of the inter-tropical relationship, (ii) the assessment of the ENSO contribution to SST skill over the TNA region, and (iii) the use of the most complete set to date of operational seasonal forecast systems. The latter, in particular, ensures that the outcomes derived from this fellowship may contribute to meet users’ needs. Work performed from the beginning of the project to the end of the period covered by the report and main results achieved so far DPETNA presents and describes a fourth potential mechanism to explain the ENSO teleconnection to the tropical North Atlantic in boreal spring. The continuous ENSO-induced atmospheric forcing in the tropical Atlantic via the remote Gill-type response plus the climatological springtime increase in SST variance over the TNA region may conceivably be underlying the ‘one-season lagged’ ENSO-TNA teleconnection. This mechanism would be at work for long-lasting ENSO events because of the in-phase Gill-type response, while no significant TNA SST anomalies are expected in case of shorter-lived ones according to this mechanism and in line with previous studies. The teleconnection mechanism proposed in DPETNA does not come into conflict with the three other mechanisms proposed until now, but helps to address some unclear issues concerning the ENSO-TNA relationship for which they do not provide a satisfactory insight. In particular, the remote Gill-type response in the tropical Atlantic can provide the atmospheric forcing needed at low latitudes of the TNA during the ENSO decaying phase to trigger the air-sea coupling there at the right timing. Once the subtropical wind anomalies vanish towards spring, the air-sea interaction and SST anomalies remain only in the deep TNA; any ENSO-related signal north of 10ºN/15ºN tends to damp. The remote Gill-type mechanism constitutes a regional atmospheric forcing rather than the expression of the wind-evaporation-SST feedback. The results derived from DPETNA on the transition from a subtropical forcing associated with the extratropical ENSO teleconnection (in winter/late-winter; via Rossby wavetrain or/and Walker-Hadley) into a tropical forcing associated with the remote Gill-type response (in early-spring/spring) are consistent with previous studies reporting a similar winter-to-spring evolution in observations, atmosphere-only and coupled simulations. DPETNA has shown that the ENSO-TNA teleconnection not only contributes substantially to the variability of TNA SSTs in boreal spring, but also largely determine its predictability and prediction skill. In this regard, the results suggest that, beyond model biases in SST climatology over the TNA, model biases in ENSO variability along the seasonal cycle are critical for the establishment and prediction of the ENSO-TNA teleconnection. In particular, the correct simulation of the ENSO decaying phase appears to be fundamental to capture the right timing of the remote influence. Progress beyond the state of the art and expected potential impact (including the socio-economic impact and the wider societal implications of the project so far) The mechanism proposed in DPETNA hints at some unresolved elements of the ENSO teleconnection to the tropical Atlantic: such as the twin minima in tropospheric air temperature, lower-level anticyclonic anomalies over the TNA, and the anomalous easterly winds in the equatorial Atlantic. The remote Gill-type response, and the associated Rossby wave source, may also provide a dynamical framework to understand other extratropical ENSO teleconnections: such as the secondary ENSO-induced Rossby wavetrain to Europe for mid/late-winter, or the ENSO influence on Europe in spring. Hence, the outputs of DPETNA may certainly lead to future, unexplored research lines and have a continuation in the climate science community. Likewise, DPETNA has offered a favourable scope for substantial progress of seasonal-to-interannual predictions in the tropical Atlantic sector, e.g. hurricane activity, and neighbouring areas such as West Africa and Southern Europe. Thus, the outcome of DPETNA may also have an impact on future climate services. Schematic diagram of the different mechanisms proposed to explain the ENSO-TNA teleconnection.

Judge strips Righthaven of rights to 278 copyrights and its trademark
Righthaven Archives Past stories related to the Righthaven copyright lawsuit campaign
Like a gunfighter with no bullets, Las Vegas copyright company Righthaven LLC no longer has any copyrights to sue over.
A federal judge in Las Vegas on Monday stripped Righthaven of whatever interests it has in its 278 federal copyright registrations as well as its trademark.
Judge Philip Pro ordered that the copyrights and trademarks be transferred to a court-appointed receiver so they can be auctioned to cover some of Righthaven’s debts.
Righthaven gained notoriety beginning two years ago when it started filing no-warning copyright infringement lawsuits over material from the Las Vegas Review-Journal and the Denver Post.
Righthaven, in its 275 lawsuits, targeted individuals, nonprofit groups and companies it said posted material from those papers online without authorization.
Righthaven said the suits were needed to crack down on rampant copyright infringement, but defense attorneys said Righthaven was running a lawsuit shakedown operation aimed at coercing defendants into settling so Righthaven could earn a profit.
As the lawsuits progressed, judges sided with defendants. In four cases they ruled defendants were protected by the fair use doctrine of copyright law.
Also, eight judges in three states ruled Righthaven lacked standing to sue.
Righthaven claimed to own the material it was suing over, but judges found that under flawed copyright assignments, the newspapers actually maintained control of that content. That meant Righthaven had no standing to sue.
Righthaven, even while accumulating legal expenses to appeal several of the adverse court rulings, has lately said it has no cash or assets to pay its debts, including $186,680 in legal fees of defendants who defeated it in court.
Pro’s ruling came Monday in the case of defendant Wayne Hoehn, whose attorneys are owed $34,045 by Righthaven.
Hoehn was sued for posting an entire R-J column on a sports betting website message board. His attorneys defeated Righthaven on both standing and fair use grounds.
When Righthaven couldn’t or wouldn’t sign over its assets to a receiver so they could be auctioned to cover Hoehn’s legal fees, the receiver went ahead and seized Righthaven’s website and auctioned it for $3,300.
Hoehn’s attorneys at Randazza Legal Group in Las Vegas then asked Pro on Monday to issue a “writ of body attachment” requiring U.S. Marshals to haul Righthaven CEO and Las Vegas attorney Steven Gibson into court to sign over the copyrights.
Righthaven complained in January this request was part of “scorched-earth” legal tactics by Hoehn’s attorneys.
However, no one from Righthaven showed up at a hearing Monday on the bodily attachment motion.
“The plaintiff having failed to attend today’s hearing, the court deems that an admission or acquiescence to the order to transfer,” Pro said.
Righthaven has argued it’s been in an odd position of having to transfer rights to copyrights it potentially doesn’t own because of prior rulings throwing out its lawsuits.
Pro acknowledged that argument, saying, “I can’t order them to transfer what they don’t have.”
So his order was that “the copyright interests, to the extent any such interests remain, be transferred” to the receiver for auction.
Marc Randazza, a Las Vegas attorney representing Hoehn, said after the hearing that Pro’s order wipes out Righthaven’s interest in all of its pending lawsuits and appeals. Since Righthaven now owns no copyrights, it has nothing to sue over or litigate over in appeals courts, he said.
“It moots them,” Randazza said of the appeals.
Randazza said the copyrights to be auctioned likely will be sold for memorabilia value, though some defendants may want to buy them just to make sure Righthaven doesn’t try to revive its lawsuits with amended copyright assignments.
It’s unknown whether Righthaven will appeal Pro’s order stripping it of its copyright interests and its trademarks, and Righthaven’s Las Vegas attorney couldn’t immediately be reached for comment Monday.
Monday’s developments are likely to be followed in coming months by efforts by some Righthaven defendants to recover damages for being targeted in what they call fraudulent lawsuits.
The defendants may go after the Review-Journal, the Denver Post and Righthaven’s investors — Gibson and the owner of the Review-Journal — since Righthaven itself doesn’t seem to have any assets they can go after.
Most of the copyrights to be transferred under Pro’s order cover material assigned to Righthaven for lawsuit purposes by the Review-Journal and the Denver Post.
Some exceptions include some sports betting material that Righthaven used in its single lawsuit that didn’t involve newspaper material.
Other exceptions include two porn movies — Ebony Amateurs Vegas Edition #10 and Ebony Princess #3 — and a document called “The Righthaven Philosophy” that apparently spells out the company’s failed plan to make money by suing over copyright infringements. | positive |

Are Republicans aware that the man they will nominate to be their standard bearer once put out a pro-GLBTQ press release pledging to turn Boston into the Rainbow City?
In 2006 the Romney administration put out a press release touting, “In celebration of their lives and diversity, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer (GLBTQ) youth and their supporters will gather by the thousands to kick off Massachusetts’ 12th annual Youth Pride on Saturday, May 13th at noon on Boston Common.”
But wait, there’s more, “One of the goals of Youth Pride is to unite the very diverse youth from Massachusetts and beyond, and celebrate the wisdom, love and courage they have gained throughout their lives so far,” says Massachusetts Youth Pride Committee (MAYPC) member Timothy James Gallant. Scheduled events-hosted by drag king Heywood Wakefield (Aliza Shapiro) – include a rally at the Parkman Bandstand on Boston Common featuring speakers and the winner of the first ever Youth Pride “Words of Wizdom” contest, as well as three awards to those the youth feel have been an inspiration to the GLBTQ community.”
The best paragraph of all, “Youth Pride is the oldest and largest event for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender andqueer youth and their allies in the nation. A youth driven and youth organized event, this year’s Youth Pride theme- “Rainbow City”- was chosen by the Massachusetts Youth Pride Committee to celebrate the diverse identities and shared spirit of GLBTQ youth. The MAYPC invites everyone to come and support GLBTQ youth while discovering that there is no place like YouthPride!”
Are Republicans aware that Mitt Romney not only promoted and supported a celebration of youth homosexuality, but that he also invited drag kings to freely roam the streets of Boston?
Fast forward to 2012 and Mitt Romney is picking up the endorsement of anti-gay groups, like the National Organization for Marriage, “Now is the time for all people who recognize the importance of marriage to come together to support a true champion, Mitt Romney, against an incumbent who has done virtually everything in his power to undermine the institution of marriage.”
In 1994 while addressing the Log Cabin Club, Mitt Romney promised that he would work towards full equality for gays, “I am pleased to have had an opportunity to talk with you and to meet many of you personally during your September meeting. I learned a great deal from those discussions and many thoughtful questions you posed. As a result of our discussions and other interactions with gay and lesbian voters across the state, I am more convinced than ever before that as we seek to establish full equality for America’s gay and lesbian citizens, I will provide more effective leadership than my opponent.”
I am assuming by “full equality” he also meant marriage. That can’t play well with the folks over at the National Organization For Marriage. It will be interesting to watch Republicans freak out in the coming months as they realize what they will have to vote for in November.
The delicious irony is that the Republicans have managed to nominate the one guy who has a track record a mile long of opposing all of their far right views. That thud you will be hearing is the mass sound of millions of conservative palms slapping their foreheads.
My guess is that their fear of the Rainbow City will meet their hatred of Barack Obama and a torrent of confusion mixed with crushing depression will result. I can imagine conservative voters standing in the voting booth asking themselves as they contemplate voting for Romney, “He really can’t still believe that? Can he?”

Towson's Tom Flacco leads National team in Tropical Bowl Skip to main content College Football News Galleries AP Top 25 Poll Teams Search Search Copy link Related Topics Joe Flacco Jaylon Henderson Sports College football Football College sports NFL football Professional football More From Boise State Towson's Tom Flacco leads National team in Tropical Bowl - Jan. 12, 2020 05:41 PM EST DELAND, Fla. (AP) — Tom Flacco of Towson threw for 173 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another score to help the National team beat the American 35-7 in the Tropical Bowl on Sunday at Spec Martin Stadium. Flacco is the brother of Denver Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco, Dan Chisena of Penn State caught a 69-yarder from Flacco in the fourth quarter and a 55-yarder from Tulane’s Justin McMillan (7 of 10 for 93 yards) in the second. The National team took a 21-0 lead on Flacco’s 8-yard run with 1:04 remaining in the first half. Chisena had five catches for 155 yards. Flacco’s first touchdown pass went to another Baltimore-based player — Manasseh Bailey of Morgan State for 21 yards to cap off the National team’s opening drive. Saif Kahn of Clarion scored the National team’s other touchdown on a 10-yard fumble return in the third quarter.

Price Chopper says it's rolling out an online shopping service called "Shops4U" next week at its Niskayuna store. From the press release:
To access Shops4U, Price Chopper customers simply go to the online ordering tab on www.pricechopper.com and pull down the menu for Shops4U. Once they register, customers can pick and choose from among tens of thousands of food items carried in their local Price Chopper store. Orders can be picked up at the store or delivered to homes, offices or community gathering spaces in the Niskayuna area.
In addition to the online component, Shops4U also allows customers to interact with specially trained Price Chopper teammates who will go through the store to select the best in fresh meat, produce and seafood, along with bakery and packaged grocery items. When a customer places an order online, the pick-up time is indicated. The order will be selected and ready at that time for pick up. The customer need only drive up to the designated pick-up parking spots in front of the Niskayuna store and call the phone number indicated on the sign there. The grocery order will be brought out to the car, where the guest can pay by credit card and drive off, without ever having to leave the car.
Delivery orders will be brought to the home, business or community gathering space by Price Chopper's professional delivery staff within a designated time period.
The service costs $10, plus another $5.99 for delivery (with a discount for the first order, and every fifth order after that). The full press release is pasted after the jump.
The company says it plans to eventually extend the service to all of its stores.
In what is almost surely not a coincidence, Shops4U is rolling out just before the planned grand opening of the new ShopRite in Niskayuna on October 2. And what's one of the services ShopRite's been touting: "ShopRite from Home," an order ahead and delivery service.
We're not buzzing with excitement over ShopRite coming (back) to the Capital Region -- but if it can prompt competition with the players already here (especially on price), that's not a bad thing.

Price Chopper press release:
PRICE CHOPPER UNVEILS NEW ONLINE ORDERING
AND HOME DELIVERY SYSTEM
Niskayuna 'Shops4U' Kick-off Will Lead to Other Locations
(NISKAYUNA, N.Y.) -- Shopping at Price Chopper - and having access to all of the store's discounts and signature items, as well as fresh meat, produce and seafood - just got even easier.
Beginning next week, Price Chopper Shops4U, a service designed to provide customers with a way to shop online for thousands of products, have those products selected by trained Price Chopper teammates and then pick them up at the store or have them delivered directly to their homes, will debut in the chain's Niskayuna store (442 Balltown Road).
"We created Price Chopper Shops4U in response to the call for a convenient shopping experience made by a growing number of our customers who are either too busy or unable to get to their local Price Chopper to shop for what they need," said Jerry Golub, Price Chopper's president and chief operating officer. "While we have plans to roll the program out in many more of our 128 stores, we're pleased to be the first to market this service and our new digital coupon program, AdvantEdge e-Coupons, here in our hometown, the Capital Region."
To access Shops4U, Price Chopper customers simply go to the online ordering tab on www.pricechopper.com and pull down the menu for Shops4U. Once they register, customers can pick and choose from among tens of thousands of food items carried in their local Price Chopper store.

The service fee for Price Chopper Shops4U is $10, with an additional $5.99 fee for delivery. For the customer's first order, this service fee will be discounted 50%, as it will for every fifth order. To make shopping even easier, once a customer has used Shops4U, he or she can refer back to previous shopping lists to place the next order even faster and more efficiently. Before each order is finalized, a personal Shops4U shopper will call or email the customer to verify the total cost and to finalize the purchase.
Recognizing the importance that value plays in the shopping equation, Price Chopper's Shops4U service ensures that customers will be able to take full advantage of all coupons, special price offers and Price Chopper's exclusive AdvantEdge and Fuel AdvantEdge offers.

They are digital coupon offers that can be selected electronically by customers and loaded directly to their Price Chopper AdvantEdge Card. Even though the program launch won't be publicized until September 18, several thousand customers have already registered and begun to use the free service since noticing it on the coupon tab at www.pricechopper.com. | positive |
Ukrainian army to get 40 medical Humvees from U.S. in October
The American company AM General in October will transfer additional 40 medical Humvees to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Embassy of Ukraine in the USA reported on Facebook.
"Ambassador of Ukraine Valeriy Chaly met the leadership of AM General – the producer of famous Humvee military vehicles. Executive Chairman Gen. (retired) Jack Keane, CEO Andy Hove and Executive Vice-President Larry Platt took part in the meeting," the embassy wrote.
The parties discussed possible options of strengthening cooperation between Ukraine and the world-acclaimed producer of military off-roaders, according to the report.
"The leaders of AM General expressed their interest in further practical support to the Armed Forces of Ukraine who are countering the Russian aggression. They informed that this October, additional 40 medical Humvees were shipped to Ukraine for the purposes of the Armed Forces, and are due to arrive in the near future," reads the report.
It is also reported that it was agreed to continue contacts in order to contribute to meeting the "immediate needs of the Ukrainian servicemen." | positive |
Russia is a country that stretches over a vast expanse of Europe and Asia, with an area of 17,075,400 square kilometres. The largest country in the world by land mass, it covers almost twice the territory of the next-largest country, Canada. It is also close to the United States and Japan across relatively small stretches of water. The capital city is Moscow.

History
Formerly the dominant Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) while under Communist rule, Russia is now an independent country and an influential member of the Commonwealth of Independent States, since the Union's dissolution in December 1991. During the Soviet era, Russia was also officially called the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR). Russia is considered the Soviet Union's successor state in diplomatic matters. The country is known for its frozen regions, for bringing about Napoleon Bonaparte's defeat when he attempted to conquer it, for such dietary staples as borscht and vodka, and for its contributions to literature, such as War and Peace. P.G. Wodehouse once described later examples of the Russian novel as "grey studies of hopeless misery, where nothing happened till page three hundred and eighty, when the moujik decided to commit suicide."[1]
Culture
Russia has also made significant contributions to the development of ballet, influencing the New York school of ballet in the United States. Tchaikvsky's The Nutcracker is one of the more popular ballets worldwide, and Rudolf Nureyev is considered the most influential Russian dancer of the mid-20th century.
Despite its current independence, Russia is also closely associated with the Communist ideology, to a greater extent even than China, and for the long-standing Cold War which erupted between the USSR and the United States. The earliest known reference to Russia in Muppet productions is indicative of this perception; in a Wilkins Coffee spot, Wilkins and Wontkins appear in a Communist Russian store, where Wontkins sells "Party Line Coffee" but sneaks capitalist coffee like Wilkins to certain customers. A de-politicized view of Russia can be seen as the March image for the Sesame Street 1978 Calendar, which featured a global travel theme. That same year, The Muppet Show featured a Russian-themed opening number in episode 310, with Muppet pigs twirling around doing Russian dances.
Muppet Ambassadors
Initially, Soviet Russia naturally viewed the Muppets with suspicion. Sesame Street in particular was denounced in the Russian newspaper Sovietsa Kultura in 1973 as "the latest example of United States cultural imperialism":
“ We don't know whether the authors of that program gave it that title intentionally. The word "sesame" comes from the orient and means "open up." One thing is certain: With that type of program, imperialism is eeking to penetrate into other people's homes, even if door and windows are tightly locked. The passkey is to be global television.[2] ”
Later that same year, however, slight inroads were evident: nine Soviet educators visited the Children's Television Workshop offices and studios, and "were especially delighted" by Sam the Robot.[3]
The Muppets have occasionally made personal visits to the country as well. In 1984, Kermit the Frog claimed top-billing over John Denver at a children's concert at the American embassy in Moscow. Newscasters referred to the visit as "Kermit sees the Kremlin." Denver introduced Kermit and asked him why he was there. According to Kermit, "I'm here visiting other Russian frogs. Actually, I think they're all hibernating though... It's very cold out there." Denver opined that maybe frogs in Russia might be red, sparking mixed reactions from the audience and from Kermit, who deemed it a "reptilian slur," despite the fact that he's an amphibian. [4]
During the same visit, Jim Henson paid a visit to acclaimed Russian puppeteer Sergei Obraztsov, who Henson called "the father of international puppetry." Henson also presented the older puppeteer with four puppets to add to Obraztsov's Moscow Theater puppet museum: a Fraggle, a Skeksis, Beauregard, and Robin the Frog. "They're happy to be in such delightful company," Henson said, and recalled that when he started out, all he knew about puppetry he gleaned from books, and Obraztsov's was the first one he read. Obraztsov jokingly referred to Henson as "his son" in the traditions of puppetry. [5]
In February 1988, while the country was still under Soviet rule, Jim Henson attended the American Film Celebration in Moscow, the second American film festival held in the Soviet Union, and conducted a puppetry workshop. Later that year, Kermit and Miss Piggy posed in front of Red Square, an image reproduced in several magazine publications, while filming the Marlo Thomas special Free to Be... a Family. The special was announced as the first Soviet-American co-production of an entertainment show and had the Muppets participating in a puppet summit with a Russian pig puppet.
Also in 1988, Henson and Anthony Minghella began mining Russian folklore extensively for use in The StoryTeller. This is perhaps most evident in "The Soldier and Death," involving a returning military man in Tsarist Russia. At one point, the soldier uses his gifts to save the Tsar of Russia himself.
In 1989, the governing Soviet television body, Gostelradio, broadcast an episode of Fraggle Rock, which drew unprecedented ratings and letters from 3,500 viewers. As a result, the organization agreed to allow both Fraggle Rock and The Muppet Show to air the following fall, becoming the first Western series to air on Soviet television. [6]
In 1996, in the wake of a changing post-Soviet Russia, Ulitsa Sezam debuted as a Russian co-production of Sesame Street. In keeping with Russian culture, the key local Muppet, Zeliboba, originally designed with an earthy brown coat of fur and leaves, became blue, a color traditionally associated with spirits. Grover has occasionally incorporated elements of Russian culture on the US series as well, with Russian cossack dancing and in a Waiter Grover sketch involving Charlie's Russian restaurant.

Anders Breivik is a Christian nationalist terrorist obsessed with preserving the “Nordic/Germanic” people. He is also an ardent Zionist. Though he finds elements of Nazi ideology appealing, his 1,500-page manifesto condemns anti-Semitism. He argues that Hitler should have used his “military capabilities…to liberate Jerusalem and the nearby provinces from Islamic occupation” and give them to the Jews. Breivik calls on his imaginary comrades: “So let us fight together with Israel, with our Zionist brothers against all anti-Zionists, against all cultural Marxists/multiculturalists.”
Coming from a Scandinavian fascist, this is a remarkable sentiment. The European far right has long been rooted in Nazism, and for decades, anti-Semitism was its hallmark. But Breivik’s embrace of Israel, far from being unique, is just the latest sign of a great shift among the continent's reactionaries. Indeed, in European politics, fascism and an aggressive sort of Zionism increasingly go together.
You can see it in country after country. While Jean-Marie Le Pen, the founder of France’s ultraright Front National, is a Holocaust denier, his daughter and successor, Marine Le Pen, is working to cleanse the party of its reputation for Jew hatred, telling the Israeli newspaper Haaretz that it “has always been Zionistic.” In the early 1990s, the British National Party organized a violent neo-Nazi gang called Combat 18. In 2009, the party’s leader, Nick Griffin, boasted that his was the only British party to support Israel’s war “against the terrorists” in Gaza.
Earlier this year, Newsweek ran a story about this phenomenon titled “Europe’s Extreme Righteous: Far-right European politicians find love—and common cause—in Israel.” It opened with three politicians, “a Belgian politician known for his contacts with SS veterans, an Austrian with neo-Nazi ties, and a Swede whose political party has deep roots in Swedish fascism,” visiting the Holocaust museum Yad Vashem. They met with members of the Knesset and signed something called the Jerusalem declaration, which affirmed, “We stand at the vanguard in the fight for the Western, democratic community” against the “totalitarian threat” of Islamic fundamentalism.
Obviously, Islamophobia is responsible for the bizarre alliance between Israel and European white nationalists. Muslims have come to occupy the place Jews once held in the reactionary European imagination; they’re seen as agents of an apocalyptic conspiracy that threatens Europe’s very survival. The specter of the coming caliphate has crowded out the old myth of the scheming elders of Zion. Naturally, the self-described agents of the counter-jihad see the enemy of their enemy as an ally. It’s the inverse of the anti-Semitic alliance between Hitler and Haj Amin el-Husseini, the grand mufti of Jerusalem.
But alliances are necessarily two-way. If the European far right is increasingly cozy with Israel, it’s in part because Israel itself has lurched to the right and now shows increasing tolerance for fascism. Israeli politicians warmly welcomed the delegation that signed the Jerusalem Declaration. Last year, MK Aryeh Eldad of the far-right National Union party invited the Dutch anti-Islamist Geert Wilders, who lived in Israel as a teenager, back to the country. While there, he gave a speech urging Jews to take over all of Palestine and had a friendly meeting with Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman. And, of course, Glenn Beck, who has a history of both anti-Semitism and wild anti-Muslim demagoguery, received a rapturous reception when he addressed the Israeli Knesset in June and is planning a huge rally in Jerusalem in August. (Incidentally, on his radio show on Monday, Beck compared Breivik’s victims to “Hitler youth.”)
There are even hints that some Israelis sympathize with Breivik. Wrote J.J. Goldberg in The Forward on Monday, “Judging by the comments sections on the main Hebrew websites, the main questions under debate seem to be whether Norwegians deserve any sympathy from Israelis given the country’s pro-Palestinian policies, whether the killer deserves any sympathy given his self-declared intention of fighting Islamic extremism and, perhaps ironically, whether calling attention to this debate is in itself an anti-Israel or anti-Semitic act.”
In response to the massacre, the Jerusalem Post ran a shocking column urging Norway to take the murder’s demands seriously. “Perhaps Breivik’s inexcusable act of vicious terror should serve not only as a warning that there may be more elements on the extreme Right willing to use violence to further their goals, but also as an opportunity to seriously reevaluate policies for immigrant integration in Norway and elsewhere,” it said. “While there is absolutely no justification for the sort of heinous act perpetrated this weekend in Norway, discontent with multiculturalism’s failure must not be delegitimatized or mistakenly portrayed as an opinion held by only the most extremist elements of the Right.”
Like most of Israel’s new far-right friends, Breivik has nothing but contempt for the majority of Jewish people, who tend to be overwhelmingly liberal. Addressing his fellow violent European nationalists, he urges, “[P]lease learn the difference between a nation-wrecking multiculturalist Jew and a conservative Jew…Never target a Jew because he is a Jew, but rather because he is a category A or B traitor.” Nevertheless, he’s very clear that he views the Jewish right as a partner. “We expect the support of all cultural conservative Jews in our future consolidation efforts,” he writes. It’s not hard to see where he got this idea, or to suspect that the loss of the hatred of a man like Breivik is something to mourn. | positive |
Industry insiders say engaged users increasingly value a greater sense of intimacy more than sex: ‘It has to do with an emotional bond’
It’s an old adage that any advance in technology – be it the advent of film or the invention of the VCR – will soon be applied to pornography. This seemed to be the case at SXSW, where a panel discussion had the subject VR Porn: Future is Upon Us, What’s Next?
Virtual reality headsets were available for use by a giggling queue of delegates. The Guardian put one on. In the real world, I was fully clothed in a conference hall. But in the virtual room I could see a glass-walled room with two giant egg-shaped sculptures outside, and a woman crawling on all-fours in front of me. Looking around, I could see other parts of the room: looking down revealed a naked lower half, to which the woman was attending.
As an experience, it was more bizarre than erotic, but VR porn is gaining a highly engaged following of fans. Now 2D porn is not enough – they want to feel as they are in an imaginary world having sex with fantasy women. Eventually, some suggest, “teledildonic” technology will enable them to feel sex as well as see it, though a strict patent, according to delegate Ela Darling, has prevented technological developments in this area.
At the moment, virtual reality porn is largely aimed at heterosexual men. Dinorah Hernandez, the content manager for BaDoinkVR, a subscription site which includes virtual reality scenes, says that she soon discovered that users of the site did not want the male actor to make any sounds, or to touch the female actor, the better to preserve the illusion that she is having sex with them. “People are requesting less sexual positions and more eye contact and dirty talk and being close to the camera,” she said.
However, her fellow industry insiders agreed that as VR grows in popularity, porn will be made aimed at female and gay audiences. “The market is males,” said Hernandez. “We have released scenes from female perspective, and got a bashing because it’s a ‘gay scene’. But one user said his wife enjoyed it.”
The panelists said there are two kinds of virtual reality porn: recorded material and live, where “cam girls” interact with users who are wearing headsets. Darling, co-founder and star of a virtual reality porn site VRTube.xxx, who claims to have pioneered holographic porn, makes the latter type. She said her users value the “intimacy” of the experience over the sexual content, with some telling them about their real-life woes.
She said VR porn actors needed to offer a psychotherapeutic element to their performance, saying: “When you’re in VR you feel like you’re in the same room with this person, and if the artifice is apparent then you feel like you’re with a hot girl and she wants nothing to do with you.” Users, she said, “experience that enough in their real life”.
Fabien Grey of AliceX, another site which uses virtual reality for users to interact with women live on camera, said VR porn users are more engaged: they are four times more likely to return to the site, and spending six times more money than on a regular “cam show”. “It has to do with an emotional bond that a user is prepared to build up,” he concluded.
Hernandez said although watching porn is usually an impulse, her users needed to invest a lot into VR: ordering a VR viewer, wait for it to arrive in the post, then waiting 20 minutes for the sizeable film to download. She said people would be prepared to pay for VR porn in the way they are still prepared to pay for concert tickets – because it is an experience.
“Users are very enthusiastic for the medium,” said Darling. “A lot are developers themselves. They’ll give you a lot of feedback. They’re excited to be on the cutting edge of this new thing. Users develop a relationship with it at a very accelerated pace.”
The panelists said while VR companies would never publicly endorse the use of their technology for porn, tacitly they know they need the adult industry’s support. Darling said Oculus, the VR company bought by Facebook, whose headset the Oculus Rift launches next week, had been “tacitly supportive”. It can be plugged into a normal browser, meaning it can be used for porn.
VR technology is still new, and will soon look primitive, the panelists said, detailing the various technological challenges they have had to overcome. Grey suggested that soon augmented reality technology (AR) will be used with VR, meaning that a porn star would appear to be in your bedroom – or any other scenario the viewer chose.
Grey said: “A feeling of total immersion will hit the market, you can have this experience of being there will the model. It’s scary because people can get lost in these worlds. As the screens get closer and closer to our eyes, people can dive into these worlds for hours.” The VR screen is placed about two inches from viewers’ eyes – a challenge for those filming porn.
The panel discussed “teledildonics” including sex toys that respond to commands and gloves that will feel as though you are touching a person. Grey said that we are, however, a long way off finding material that can replicate the warmth and pressure of human skin. | positive |
Anya Hindmarch Spring Summer 2017 – Nadia Ismadi Nadia Ismadi Menu Bookmark About Contact fashion Anya Hindmarch Spring Summer 2017 January 27, 2017 June 2, 2017 by nadiaismadi I don’t know how far this is true but they say patience is a pain in the butt. Is it virtue? Same same la, potayto potahto. Anya Hindmarch launched their recent Spring Summer collection and I was one of the lucky ones to be invited for the preview. Oh.My.God! Truth be told, I was just drooling over the super adorable collection they’ve pieced together this time. Yet again. Anya has always been very quirky with her designs. She’s successfully balanced the quirkiness and classiness for all her designs giving them an elegant sense of humor yet very practical. Look at the sunny side up buckle on that handbag! It’s uber cute but subtle enough for me to carry into meeting with clients without them raising eyebrows thinking I must have been out of my mind carrying breakfast into the boardroom. So back to the story of patience, I was this [] close to just YOLO and buy like 3 handbags at the event. But it will be massively hypocritical of me to be preaching to people to save for their goals and here I am recklessly swiping my cards on impulsive purchases. So, I’ve made a deal with myself. I will be buying that super cute tote (or tote-s) once I’ve diligently saved for it. The second batch of the collection will be coming in sometime March or April.So honey, we’ve got time. Save4Dream will be rolling out our prototype soon so the app can help me save for these cute bags. I will share with you the updates from time to time okay. 😉 Cool jacket and pants from Aere. I got mine from Shoesshoesshoes 🙂 Love, Nadia Ismadi Share this: Twitter Facebook Like this: Like Loading...

Jeff Passan had this:
Toronto is thinking about turning Jeremy Jeffress back into a starter. Pitched well as RP in September. Hasn't started since 2011 in minors. — Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) November 8, 2013
Jeffress did a very nice job for us, as a September call up, pitching in 9 games, allowing 7 hits, 3 walks, with 11 strikeouts in 9.1 inning, all without allowing an earned run. He pitched 2 innings in a couple of his appearances.
He is a fun pitcher to watch. You have to like guys that can hit 100 mph. As a starter, odds are he'd have to take a click or two off his fastball.
Jeremy hasn't made a major league start, the last time he started in the minors was in 2011, in the Royals' minor league system.
I don't know, I like him as a reliever, but I'm not sure he throws enough pitches to get by as a starter. According to Fangraphs, in his few innings for the Jays, he threw 75% two-seam fastballs, 19.4% curves and 8.5% four-seam fastballs. I guess, if they figure he could find a change in spring training.

After an ugly 1st half in which Anthlon Bell single-handedly kept the Hogs from an Alabama-like first half deficit, the team came alive in the second half. Bobby Portis and Alandise Harris, who combined for three first half points on 0-9 shooting, combined for 20 second half points. The team was clicking on all cylinders in the last 20 minutes. The team as a whole shot 64.5% while holding Indiana State to 35.5%. Rashad Madden had five assists compared to zero in the first half. The highlight was probably a behind-the-back pass in traffic from Rashad Madden to Portis for a two-handed dunk. Indiana State did make a run in the middle of the second half that cut what was a 19 point lead to eight, but then Coty Clarke hit a few free throws, Harris converted a pair of layups, and then Bell closed it out with a couple of threes and another jumper, which led to his new career-high of 28 points. That made the end of the game really easy. During the first half, it was easy to wonder if the team - other than Bell - was suffering like the type of team that didn't care about playing in the NIT. The team was missing easy shots, they were 1-for-9 from inside the paint, but the players made clear by their play in the second half, and Coty Clarke's comments after the game, this team isn't ready to hang it up just yet. Arkansas awaits the winner of Wednesday night's game between Cal and Utah Valley. The Hogs travel to Berkeley if Cal wins but would host Utah Valley if they win. It should also be noted, Arkansas estimated the actual attendance to be just 7,697, but it was a loud, active crowd. It was a fun atmosphere. Hopefully, if the Razorbacks play in Bud Walton again, they'll enjoy a similar treatment.

As you’ll note, this recipe contains no gluten-filled noodles. Here’s Angelika: “This is the best chicken broth recipe from my grandma, which I adjusted after living in St. Maarten, where I enjoyed the heartiest and most delicious chicken soups I’ve ever eaten. Then, I made it even healthier, turning it low carb. “My grandma’s and Caribbean-style special tricks make this a staple in our house. This recipe is super easy to make. If you need broth for any other recipes, strain when done and voila! “The beauty of making the broth this way is you can serve it over whatever veggies you want, or not. Pour over spinach or baby greens and canned artichoke hearts to add wilted greens and veggies to your broth. Top with avocado, if you’d like, and/or fresh herbs such as cilantro or flat-leaf Italian parsley. “If I only have baby carrots and red onions on hand, that works, too. Enjoy! INGREDIENTS: 4 whole skin-on chicken legs (Note from Connie: Please note that if you don’t eat meat, you could always use tofu instead.) 1 large carrot, peeled and cut into 2-3 pieces 2 celery stalks, cut into 2-3 pieces each 1 yellow onion, peeled and ends trimmed 6 fresh thyme sprigs (or more to taste) Sea salt to taste (I use Himalayan pink salt) Freshly ground pepper to taste DIRECTIONS: Place all ingredients into a large soup pot. Don’t cut the onion; use it whole. Pour enough filtered water into the pot to cover all the ingredients. Bring everything to a boil, then reduce heat to a low simmer. Simmer for 40 minutes. Adjust seasonings, if needed. Enjoy! Note from Connie: Have you tried Angelika’s awesome recipe yet? Tell us about your experiences on my blog or on my Facebook fan page. Angelika Ilina is founder of the Love On The Table blog. which is dedicated to showing busy foodies that they can be health-conscious eaters, too. “I love, love food, but I love my health & wellness more. Yes, you can be both,” says Angelika, who grew up helping her parents host dinner parties almost every week.” Seven years ago, Angelika discovered how inflammation was being created in her body by eating gluten, grains, and sugar. After cleaning up her diet, she became devoted to creating “delicious, satisfying, healthy, friends-and- family-approved recipes” and founded her Love the Table blog for health-conscious foodies. When not creating, healthy low-carb recipes, Angelika is a frequent traveler and busy owner and president of AI Creative, a website design and development, digital marketing, and online strategy company.

The difference between three rounds of mixed martial arts and five rounds of mixed martial arts is the difference between a sprint and a distance run.
Last night UFC lightweight, Benson Henderson went from surviving to thriving in the space of ten minutes as the gigantic welterweight, Brandon Thatch poured on the pressure in the second round, wilted midway through the third, and fell by the wayside as just another victim of Henderson's pace in the fourth round.
Thatch was returning from a year out from injury, and hoping to continue his tremendous streak of first round stoppages. No fight of Thatch's had gone past the first round since 2008. The general consensus was that if Henderson took Thatch past the first round, he'd be able to deliver a sizeable knock to Thatch's confidence.
The first round was marked by Henderson circling the ring, while Thatch followed. Whenever Henderson found himself along the fence, and knew that one of those Thatch flurries into a knee strike was coming, he'd lead back against the fence and use his lead leg to push kick Thatch away. That small bump away was enough for Henderson to circle out on most occasions throughout the fight.
Henderson also found success with his lead (right, as he's a southpaw) hook to the body. Body work is something you always want to see out of high endurance fighters because it steepens the slope that the opponent will be fighting up in the later rounds.
But in the second round, Thatch began to have great success with long straights, bullying Henderson in the hand fight, and in the brief clinch exchanges it seemed as though Henderson was too small to trouble Thatch. The strength differential was tremendous.
Notice in the above instance, Henderson ducks under to spin Thatch so that the two have reversed positions—a veteran move. When Henderson ducks under Thatch's spinning backfist, he had every mechanical and positional advantage and Thatch was still strong enough to recover and trip Henderson to the mat.
As the rounds progressed though, Thatch's eyes began to swell and his breathing became more labored. Henderson flicked back handed jabs at Thatch's eye before thudding in the right hook to the body. By the fourth round, both were going about even on the feet, though Thatch was slowing at a far more obvious rate.
That being said, even in the fourth round Thatch was easily stuffing Henderson's takedown attempts. The change came as Henderson found some success in exchanges with the slowing welterweight, and convinced him that they were going to have a boxing match in four-ounce gloves. Slipping, weaving, stepping in on power punches, Henderson announced his intention to stay in Thatch's wheelhouse. As Thatch engaged in a pure striking contest, Henderson ducked under and easily got in on Thatch's hips
Landing in the half butterfly guard (though for most, it's less a guard and more the last stop before getting crushed), Henderson went full Georges St. Pierre as he forced his way to half guard and performed a no hands pass from there. Thatch gave his back and Henderson the two fought for a while before Henderson sunk in the rear naked choke.
It was another lesson in the difference between dangerous prospect and elite combat sports athlete. Just as he had done with Rustam Khabilov, Henderson demonstrated that there's a lot more to mixed martial arts than just being a scary momentum fighter.
There were a few interesting moments elsewhere on the card, though it wasn't a particularly strong one. In the co-main event Max Holloway showed his slick striking, as usual, but struggled a little with being the shorter man for the first time in his UFC tenure. Where Holloway, at his best, is about hooking off the jab, landing long body shots and knees, against a taller opponent he was forced to get in close to do his job.
As a guy who isn't used to ducking or slipping, it ended up with Holloway standing upright and managing to butt Miller several times through the bout. I say butt, it was more a clash of heads. The art of a good butt is in getting the hard part of the upper forehead to connect while your face is pointing downwards, Holloway was simply coming in with his face and his forehead was colliding with Miller's brow. It was clumsy and unfortunate, but I doubt there was sinister intent there.
Holloway's combination work throughout, while not a case of one strike setting up the next perfectly, was fun to watch and certainly creative. In the latter stages of the third round, struggling to land effectively on Miller, Holloway went southpaw and started performing some interesting follow ups to the classic slight angle out and left straight.
Tim Elliot versus Zach Makovsky, meanwhile, provided a back and forth grappling extravaganza. Whether it was Tim Elliot attempting a Samoan drop and successfully using it to reverse momentum, or this attempt at that classic response to the back mount if you don't know any grappling, it was not your standard MMA match.
Though the way Makovsky's head bounced off the mat suggested it wasn't a completely harmless effort.
But amid all the momentum shifts, it was Makovsky's knee cut pass straight into the mounted crucifix that really had me excited. It was just beautiful adaptation and technique.
Last night's card was far from disappointing despite the lack of star power in most bouts. I can only hope that the even less anticipated Mir versus Bigfoot card can pleasantly surprise us all in the same way.

A few words about hybrid encryption and elliptic curves Geekly Articles each Day 📜 ⬆️ ⬇️ DONATE A few words about hybrid encryption and elliptic curves Hello, dear readers. As a preface, let me remind you what hybrid cryptosystems are and why they are so widespread. So, it is accepted to call a hybrid cryptosystem a way to transfer a large amount of encrypted data, in which data is encrypted with a secret key using a symmetric algorithm (for example, AES or DES), and the key itself is transmitted by an encrypted asymmetric cipher (like, say, RSA). This method is widely used for the fact that it incorporates the advantages of both symmetric and asymmetric cryptography. A large data block is encrypted with a very fast symmetric algorithm (and this eliminates the serious time costs), and the encryption key is transmitted securely encrypted using an asymmetric algorithm (and this solves the key distribution problem inherent in symmetric methods only). All this is widely known, and therefore we proceed to the most important, namely, implementation issues. And here begins a lot of interesting things. Little about general At first glance, the most optimal solution is the combination of RSA + block cipher. However, this method is not devoid of a certain number of pitfalls. The most obvious among them is the semantic weakness of the RSA algorithm. Therefore, it is possible to apply the RSA algorithm only using an add-on scheme, such as RSA-OAEP (which you can read about here ). Let me briefly remind you that RSA-OAEP uses two cryptographically secure hash functions as well as methods such as adding a certain number of zero bits to a message line. What makes the RSA-OAEP scheme not the most efficient from an implementation point of view, is an asymmetric algorithm. Because of this limitation, the use of RSA, as the simplest option, loses all its appeal. Another disadvantage of sharing RSA and block cipher is the lack of integrity control of the transmitted data. And this is already a stone in the garden of a non-asymmetric cipher; nevertheless, RSA-OAEP perfectly copes with the task of checking the integrity of the received data. Now we are talking directly about the block algorithm. I want to tell about this trouble in more detail. As is well known, all block ciphers support several modes of operation. The most widespread modes are ECB and CBC. In ECB mode, the source data is divided into blocks of M 1 , M 2 , ..., M n of a certain size. A cryptotext consists of C 1 , C 2 , ..., C n blocks, where C i = E (M i ), and E (M i ) is an encryption function applied to the M i block. Actually, the lack of such a regime immediately catches the eye. An attacker can freely replace any C i block with a C o block. So if one key is used several times while transmitting data, then the attacker may, having intercepted a new message, replace some data with older ones, and the legitimate recipient will not notice the trick. CBC mode, according to many, is able to eliminate this lack of block ciphers, but in fact it is not. In CBC mode, encryption occurs as follows. The source data is divided into blocks of M 1 , M 2 , M n a certain size. And the cryptotext consists of blocks 1 , 2 , n , where i = E (M i ⊕ C i-1 ). With this method, the illusion is created that all ciphertext blocks are connected and replacing one block will lead to the loss of the rest. In fact, it is not. Replacing a single block will affect the decoding of only one (!) Block following it. Therefore, an attacker can successfully replace several blocks, and the legitimate recipient receiving this data and noticing that only one block was received incorrectly may well not give it a meaning. Therefore, speaking of hybrid encryption, it is necessary to understand that the information transmitted in this way should consist not of two blocks, but of three E asy (K) || E sym (M) || MAC K (M), where E asy (K) - key encrypted with an asymmetric algorithm, E sym (M) - encrypted with a symmetric algorithm, using the key K, data M, MAC K (M) - authentication code of the message M, obtained using the key K. And in this regard, there is another small inconvenience associated with the use of asymmetric cryptosystems like RSA in hybrid schemes. This is redundant data. In order to send the message M, we need to add an extra line of MAC K (M) bits to the cryptotext. In addition to this, RSA, due to the large size of the encryption module (currently 2048 bits is recommended), increases the initial size of the encrypted key at times. Of course, redundancy is noncritical of only 2048 bits (considering the MAC function), but along with the implementation difficulties behind RSA-OAEP, this all gives reason to look for another method of hybrid encryption, and there is such a way. And it is called DHIES. Briefly about the main thing The DHIES hybrid encryption scheme (Diffie-Hellman Integrated Encryption Scheme) was proposed by three authors Michel Abdalla, Mihir Bellare and Phillip Rogaway in 2001. The idea underlying the scheme is based on the difficulty of solving the discrete logarithm problem. The encryption scheme itself is as follows. Suppose that Alice wants to send a message encrypted by a symmetric algorithm to Bob and a key to this message. Let Bob have a public / private key pair (x, G, P, Y = G x mod P), where G, P, Y are public data, and Bob's x-secret key. Those. Bob's key set conforms to DSA and GOST R 34.10-2001 standards (this is important because it eliminates the need to generate an additional pair of keys). To send a message, Alice performs the following actions: Generates a random large number k. Calculates U = G k and V = Y k = G kx . Defines a pair (K1, K2) = H (V || U), where H () is a cryptographically strong hash function. Finds C = E K1 (M) and T = MAC K2 (C) Sends Bob a message of the form U || C || T. After receiving a message from Alice, Bob, using his secret key x, can calculate V = U x . Knowing V and U, Bob is able to get a pair of keys (K1, K2) = H (V || U). Using the K2 key, it checks the integrity of the received cipher T = MAC K2 (C) and, if the result is correct, decrypts the text using the K1 key, M = D K1 (C). The advantages of the DHIES scheme are the simplicity of asymmetric encryption. So, in order to obtain a securely encrypted symmetric key and transfer it, you only need two exponentiations. While using RSA-like systems, it will still be necessary to take care of the add-on schemes. Secondly, the scheme is based on the discrete logarithm problem, and therefore it can be easily transferred to elliptic curves. The only caveat to using DHIES on elliptic curves is that calculating G x actually means finding the point x * G, and everything else remains the same. It is known that elliptic cryptography works on spaces with a much smaller size (for example, 256 bits instead of 2048). And thus, applying the EC-DHIES scheme, we get rid of excess bits (here we are, of course, not talking about saving traffic, just reducing redundancy a little is a matter of honor). But in the third there is no need to create an additional pair of public / private key to transfer encrypted data. If the recipient uses a digital signature with the DSA or GOST R 34.10-2001 algorithm, then the public key used to verify the signature can be used to send the message. And quite a bit of code And finally, a small class for performing mathematical operations on elliptic curve points, with which you can implement EC-DHIES. // public class ECPoint { public BigInteger x; public BigInteger y; public BigInteger a; public BigInteger b; public BigInteger FieldChar; public ECPoint(ECPoint p) { x = px; y = py; a = pa; b = pb; FieldChar = p.FieldChar; } public ECPoint() { x = new BigInteger(); y = new BigInteger(); a = new BigInteger(); b = new BigInteger(); FieldChar = new BigInteger(); } // P1 P2 public static ECPoint operator +(ECPoint p1, ECPoint p2) { ECPoint p3 = new ECPoint(); p3.a = p1.a; p3.b = p1.b; p3.FieldChar = p1.FieldChar; BigInteger dy = p2.y - p1.y; BigInteger dx = p2.x - p1.x; if (dx < 0) dx += p1.FieldChar; if (dy < 0) dy += p1.FieldChar; BigInteger m = (dy * dx.modInverse(p1.FieldChar)) % p1.FieldChar; if (m < 0) m += p1.FieldChar; p3.x = (m * m - p1.x - p2.x) % p1.FieldChar; p3.y = (m * (p1.x - p3.x) - p1.y) % p1.FieldChar; if (p3.x < 0) p3.x += p1.FieldChar; if (p3.y < 0) p3.y += p1.FieldChar; return p3; } // P c public static ECPoint Double(ECPoint p) { ECPoint p2 = new ECPoint(); p2.a = pa; p2.b = pb; p2.FieldChar = p.FieldChar; BigInteger dy = 3 * px * px + pa; BigInteger dx = 2 * py; if (dx < 0) dx += p.FieldChar; if (dy < 0) dy += p.FieldChar; BigInteger m = (dy * dx.modInverse(p.FieldChar)) % p.FieldChar; p2.x = (m * m - px - px) % p.FieldChar; p2.y = (m * (px - p2.x) - py) % p.FieldChar; if (p2.x < 0) p2.x += p.FieldChar; if (p2.y < 0) p2.y += p.FieldChar; return p2; } // x, x public static ECPoint multiply(BigInteger x, ECPoint p) { ECPoint temp = p; while (x != 0) { if ((x % 2) != 0) { if ((temp.x==px)||(temp.y==py)) temp=Double(temp); else temp = temp + p; x = x - 1; } x = x / 2; p = Double(p); } return temp; } } * This source code was highlighted with Source Code Highlighter . Conclusion Of course, everyone should choose the method that personally seems to him the most convenient, but the knowledge of one more option is never superfluous. I hope this article was useful to you and helped me to learn another method (in my opinion, optimally combining convenience and reliability) of keeping your data secret.

It was my friend who’d just gotten out of the state hospital who let me borrow Jim Carroll’s The Basketball Diaries. I was 16 and had just dropped out of high school. I read it in the bathtub, smoking cigarettes one after the other, and didn’t stop reading until my skin was all pruney and gross and I hit the last page, the last word, and went, “Shit, I didn’t know you could say stuff like that in books.”
Next day I made my mom take me to get a library card.
I read a bunch of classics by Faulkner and Dostoevsky and Camus and Hemingway—then I moved onto Carver, Lish, Hempel, Hannah, Paley, and onward, never once looking back.
All of the books I’ve read over the years, the good ones, anyway, always seemed to coincide with an event in my life. Whether it was someone passing away, or switching jobs, or a specific lunchbreak, I can remember where I was and what I was doing and how I felt while reading certain books.
Article continues after advertisement
Crime and Punishment was read in south Wichita. I read it in my bed over the course of three or four days, only getting up to smoke a cigarette or eat a sandwich.
Lunch Poems by Frank O’Hara was read during my lunchbreak when I worked at a Starbucks in west Wichita, right after finding out that my coworker’s husband was abusive.
I was reading Naked Lunch when I got word about a giant catfish that was being hauled out of the little pond behind our apartment building—so big they had to wheel it away in a wheel barrow.
I read The Stranger in the bathtub after masturbating.
I was well into my third attempt at finishing Gravity’s Rainbow when I found out that my uncle had died.
Article continues after advertisement
I don’t know why I’m telling you these things. I just know they seem important.
These two sentences from Barry Hannah’s Ray come to mind when trying to relate what reading means to me. “I live in so many centuries. Everybody is still alive.”
The downtown Wichita library is a place full of homeless people during the cold days of winter. They sprawl in the chairs or stand out front smoking cigarette butts. I read the backs of books and imagine them as the characters in the books. I never know until after reading them if it is a good thing or a bad thing. And either way, in my version, they at least have a chance to escape from their lives for a short while.
Jim Carroll was like this version of my brother I actually had a chance to get to know. My brother was an addict early on in life, and I knew a thing or two, too, but in Jim Carroll I found somebody who could help me understand something about brotherhood—and that’s this: just because people are sometimes flawed and broken doesn’t mean they’ve forgotten how to love.
On the other hand, before reading The Stranger and Crime and Punishment I didn’t realize the darkness of the human heart could be such a horribly deep and wretched well, even after Mersault and Raskolnikov reveal to us that often our hearts look more like brains than anything thumping and red in our chests.
What a horrible thought.
But there was this too. Reading turned me into a thief. Just like my brother when he got hooked on meth, I stole things to satiate my needs. It started after some late fee trouble at the library. All of a sudden, I didn’t have anything to read. So I made my mom drop me off at the Borders on the west side of town once a week while she did her shopping. I’d browse for about an hour, scope the cameras, carry around whatever it was I wanted, then, looking suspicious as fuck, I’d stuff the book into my waistband and head for the door. I stole probably 20 to 30 books this way. Sometimes I’d have one book in the front, one in the back and one on the side.
It all started with Wild Boys by William S. Burroughs. Then it was The Downtown Diaries by Jim Carroll, etc. I devoured and stole, devoured and stole, stole and devoured, and never once felt guilty about it. I chalk it up to something I had to do. It made me feel alive—not the stealing of books, but the reading of them. It made me feel like someone less alone in the world.
Then I discovered Watermark Books, a fantastic independent bookstore on the east side of town. It was there I discovered Matt Bell, Jac Jemc, Peter Markus, and Blake Butler, which got me into the beauty of independent and small press book publishing. My book stealing days were over.
I read during lunchbreaks, in my car, pacing my home, in bed, on the toilet, in the bathtub—just about anywhere I’m allowed.
To me, reading is a connection to an experience, both inside and outside the pages—and experience is the most precious thing in this life—memory becomes fiction and fiction becomes memory, the lines blur, and suddenly, one day, we can’t remember if it was our true life friend who said this profound thing or other or some dude in a book who resembled him and vice versa.
That’s what life is, in some small way.
I grew up in Wichita, Kansas, and have never much loved it. But I have never much hated it, either. It’s both very real, specific, and also just a memory looming, a glowworm in my imagination. It’s the place where I was born, the place where I was raised, the place where I read my first book, the place where I started writing my first book, and the place where I’ll probably die.
My life isn’t any different from yours. The only differences we may have lay in the hands that have touched us—and our interpretations of those hands.
Speaking of lives, in some ways reading has saved mine. Not in the cliché “this book saved my life” kind of way, but in that reading opened my mind to a seemingly endless stream of possibilities. It taught me all kinds of things, sure, but most importantly, it made me aware, over time, that all humans bleed the same. We all hurt and laugh and love and hate and smile. We don’t do all those things in the same ways or with the same panache, but we know the weight of their meaning. And now, now I realize, at 30, as I’m typing these words, that reading, for me, is simultaneously running from my past and embracing it. And there is no other word for that than hope. Books made me realize that it can live within us all. | positive |

Editor’s Note: This is the second post of “Hall of Fame Week!” For more info, click here.
I was in the old family room of my parents’ house sitting on the carpet between a classic 1990s box television and a rustic wooden coffee table my dad made. I refer to the room as “old” because in 1999 it was torn down to make way for an addition. From the time we moved into the house in 1990 through the room’s demise, it was my playroom. It was where my sister and I played silly childhood games and watched countless movies and TV shows. It was where I learned to play the piano and where I fell in love with the game of baseball. My last distinct memory of the space so central to my childhood was sitting on that carpet and hearing Joe Buck say, “You will always know where you were at 8:18 p.m. Central Time, Sept. 8, 1998.”
I’m relaying my personal story not because it’s particularly unique or special, but because it’s explicitly not. Buck was right. All of us who were lucky enough to be baseball fans during the magical summer of 1998 know exactly where we were the moment Mark McGwire sent a laser-beam line drive over the left field wall for his 62nd home run of the season to pass Roger Maris and become the single-season home run king. It was one of those precious few moments in baseball history that transcended the sport and reached American culture as a whole. And yet, somewhere along the way we reached a collective — if silent — agreement to shove that night into the deep recesses of our memories.
If you’ve watched baseball even casually over the last decade or three, or even longer, you can close your eyes and recall with clarity the images of Kirk Gibson pumping his fist around second base after his home run in the 1988 World Series or Carlton Fisk’s wave from 1975 or Willie Mays’ catch in a World Series played more than half a century ago. These moments are imprinted on our brains whether or not we lived through them, because major league baseball, for better and for worse, worships at the altar of its past. Iconic moments are aired on a loop at seemingly every possible opportunity, but for reasons both legitimate and manufactured, McGwire’s No. 62 is ignored.
The man who gave us this oft-overlooked moment of pure baseball joy is now on the Hall of Fame ballot for the 10th and final time. When the results are announced in the first week of January, McGwire’s name will not be included among the honorees. In last year’s balloting he received just 10 percent of the vote, his lowest total to date. Given that he effectively has no chance, his vote total may dip even further this year as his supporters find it challenging to continue voting for him when there are so many other extraordinarily qualified candidates on the ballot.
A year ago the Hall of Fame opted to decrease the number of years a player can remain on the ballot from 15 to 10. No candidates were on the ballot for the 10th time last year, and only McGwire is on his 10th this year, which makes him the first victims of a new rule functioning solely as a haphazard band-aid on the self-inflicted dilemma of overcrowded ballots. (Alan Trammell is also on his last year, but it is his 15th, as he was grandfathered in under the old rules.)
When McGwire’s name is unceremoniously dropped from the ballot, though, there will be little, if any, outrage. He is not the poster child for controversial candidates tainted by performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs). That dubious honor is shared by Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens and for good reason. On stats alone, Bonds and Clemens are true inner-circle Hall of Famers — the elite of the elite. McGwire’s career was not in that stratosphere, but it was a Hall of Fame-caliber career nonetheless, and it’s worth reflecting on one last time before he is officially dismissed from the BBWAA ballot.
Before digging into the numbers, it’s necessary to acknowledge the obvious. The biggest factor working against McGwire has nothing to do with his on-field performance and everything to do with PEDs. As is likely clear by this point in the article, I am not opposed to enshrining admitted or suspected users from the Steroid Era. My rationale is rather simple: Blacklisting individuals for offenses that were a direct result of a permissive culture pervading every corner of major league baseball flies in the face of the mission of the Hall of Fame.
If you ever get Hall of Fame fatigue from the ceaseless and unproductive debates the voting season stokes each winter, take a moment to read through the Hall’s mission statement. It’s a worthwhile reminder of the importance of the institution whose goal is to preserve the history of our national pastime. As I see it, the relevant passage for the steroid debate is this: “The Hall of Fame’s mission is to preserve the sport’s history, honor excellence within the game and make a connection between the generations of people who enjoy baseball.” (emphasis mine)
The last part rings especially true because I was lucky enough to take my first trip to Cooperstown with my dad when I was a kid. He pointed out the plaques of his childhood heroes while he told me their stories. Denying enshrinement to a group of the greatest players of a single generation will diminish the rich tradition of oral history the museum fosters so beautifully.
For that reason, as well as a more general aversion to scapegoating, I believe the so-called character clause in the Hall of Fame’s official voting guidelines ought only to be invoked on players whose lack of “integrity, sportsmanship, or character” were offenses beyond baseball’s working societal norms of the time. Denying enshrinement to someone like Pete Rose — who displayed an atrocious lack of integrity, sportsmanship and character while committing baseball’s cardinal sin — is defensible at the very least and arguably prudent. But for league-wide generational crimes such as segregation, greenies, cocaine or steroids, the museum’s responsibility is to provide context for those eras, not to disregard the achievements of those who played during it.
With that out of the way, let’s dig in to the significantly more fun portion of this piece: McGwire’s prolific power. His career home run total of 583 trails five of his contemporaries: Bonds (762), Alex Rodriguez (687 and counting), Ken Griffey Jr. (630), Jim Thome (612) and Sammy Sosa (609) – but that is at least in part a function of lost playing time due to injuries both in his late 20s and at the end of his career. His home run rate as measured by plate appearances per home run (PA/HR) was the greatest in baseball history, and his career isolated power (ISO) is second only to Babe Ruth. Despite playing in the same era as the all-time home run king, McGwire was the greatest power hitter of a generation known for power.
Besting all other competition in one facet of the game, no matter how exciting and relevant that one facet is, does not automatically elevate a player to Hall of Fame status. One of the leaders in power metrics the generation before McGwire was Dave Kingman, a man who compiled just 20.4 fWAR in his career and unsurprisingly fell off the Hall of Fame ballot in his first year of eligibility. Being the greatest at one thing isn’t enough for induction, but McGwire was more than a one-trick pony.
Modern sabermetric analysis of production at the plate places emphasis on two key factors: power and on-base percentage. The first crude estimation of the fusion of these abilities was OPS, and now we’ve graduated to more refined metrics such as wOBA and the league-adjusted wRC+, which we will use here since it works well with comparisons across generations.
Of the 381 players with at least 1,500 plate appearances in the 1990s, no one, not even Barry Bonds, had a higher walk rate (BB%) than McGwire’s 18.8 percent. As a result of his elite power acting in combination with the ability to work walks and get on base, McGwire absolutely shines through the wRC+ lens.
After a brief late-season major league debut in 1986 that amounted to just 58 plate appearances, he went on to play 15 major league seasons. In those 15 seasons, McGwire never once failed to post a wRC+ above the league average mark of 100. In 13 of those 15 seasons, his wRC+ exceeded 130, and he crossed the 150 threshold nine times. His 157 career wRC+ is tied for 11th all time (minimum 3,000 plate appearances). You may recognize the names around him.
If batting metrics were the only thing to judge Hall of Fame candidates on, McGwire’s production would make him not just a Hall of Famer, but a fabled inner-circle Hall of Famer. Of course, that’s not how this works. His defense was uninspiring at best at first base — the least athletic defensive position on the field. His base running was a liability, as evidenced by a 28 percent extra-bases-taken rate and a stolen base total of just 12 through 1,874 career games played.
The lack of added value when out of the batters box, in addition to the missed playing time, kept McGwire’s career WAR totals from soaring to the levels of the inner-circle names with comparable power and on-base abilities. By the FanGraphs version of WAR, McGwire (66.3) sits 80th all time, directly between possible future inductee Tim Raines (66.4) and actual Hall of Famer Harmon Killebrew (66.1). Baseball-Reference’s metrics have him a bit lower at 62.0 WAR, good for 108th all time in a range comparable to Hall of Famers Billy Williams (63.6) and, again, Harmon Killebrew (60.4) as well as borderline future candidates like Andruw Jones (62.8), Todd Helton (61.2) and Jim Edmonds (60.3).
Although his career WAR sits in a range without a clear Hall of Fame mandate, there is no question in my mind McGwire deserves a plaque in Cooperstown. By objective measures like wRC+, he is among the greatest hitters the sport has ever seen, second only to Bonds in his era. And even if his baserunning and defense fail to push him clearly over the Hall of Fame threshold, his emotional and historical contributions to the game make his case a landslide.
As a rookie in 1987, he burst onto the scene with 49 home runs, obliterating the rookie record of 38 set by Wally Berger in 1930 and matched by Frank Robinson in 1956. In the nearly 30 years since, the closest anyone has come to McGwire’s record was Albert Pujols with 37 homers as a rookie in 2001. His prodigious display of power netted him a Rookie of the Year Award and a catchy nickname as one of the Bash Brothers alongside his Oakland Athletics teammate, slugger Jose Canseco.
While with Oakland, the Bash Brothers were key contributors to their 1989 World Series championship run, but McGwire’s finest October moment arguably came the season before. Three days after Gibson became the seventh person to hit a walk-off home run in a World Series game, McGwire became the eighth with a Game Three blast in the bottom of the ninth off Dodgers pitcher Jay Howell. The early career fame garnered by his rookie success and Bash Brothers persona never faded. He was a 12-time All-Star, elected to the All-Star Game in every full season of his career.
Of course, the truly iconic mark he made on the game didn’t come until he joined the St. Louis Cardinals. The summer of 1998, just four years after the devastating players’ strike and canceled World Series, was critical in making baseball relevant again. What began as a three-way race to home run No. 62 among McGwire, Sosa and Griffey became a riveting two-man battle when Griffey fell off the pace down the stretch and totaled “just” 56 homers in the end. The McGwire-Sosa Show captivated a baseball-starved nation. The division rivals who were united by a twist of fate in the quest for baseball’s magic number became unlikely friends who lit up television screens with a contagious, electric energy that reminded viewers how much fun the game could be.
On Sept. 8, 1998, in a script presumably written by whichever deity presides over baseball, McGwire’s record-breaking home run No. 62 occurred while his Great Home Run Race partner stood in right field. If it’s been a while since you’ve watched footage of No. 62, I can’t recommend re-watching it enough.
Watch the way each Cubs infielder shakes McGwire’s hand as he rounds the bases. Revel in the bear hug he gives to Sosa – how often in any sport do you see mid-game celebratory hugs between on-field foes? Reflect on the respect McGwire shows to the record being broken when he embraces the family of Maris. It was a moment so glorious that Buck’s declaration that we’ll always remember where we were was obvious enough that it’s truly a testament to his talent he thought to mention it.
In the years since, the moment and the magical summer of 1998 have been irreversibly tarnished by revelations of the steroid culture that coincided with the home run race. However, the fact that we can no longer naively celebrate the achievement the way we did in the moment does not mean we can’t appreciate it and the joy that summer gave us.
As a baseball fan who grew up in the 1990s, the story of my childhood love affair with baseball is incomplete without Mark McGwire. His production on the field as well as the way he helped breathe life back into the game that fateful summer are more than worthy of enshrinement. Context for the era belongs in the museum. Mark McGwire, one of the most significant players of all time, belongs in the plaque room. | positive |
My Santa brought my gift over to my house and left it on the driveway, apparently because we can't have me running around telling everyone that Bruce Wayne is Santa Claus. I agree, and appreciate the plastic bags because it's been raining nearly constantly for 2 weeks.
There was a letter and FOUR (4!!) gifts! 2 for me, 1 for my cat, and one for my boyfriend. I've now excitedly opened my own (which are just so. thoughtful and perfect.) and the one for my cat (and he absolutely loved it). Going to give my bf his gift this weekend, he'll be excited too, I never expected to get more than 1 one gift for myself. I'm really amazed and feel so lucky with my Santa. THANK YOU SANTA
Update December 6: Boyfriend opened his gift this weekend! It was STAR WARS LEGO and this 22 year old was filled with glee. What an awesome gift. Thank you, Santa, once again. | positive |

Porch Talk – howsyourlovelife Skip to content Search Search for: howsyourlovelife Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others Menu About Recipes So….how’s your love life? Open Search Porch Talk One night we were sitting out on the porch and a friend shared with me that she and her guy had been trying to get pregnant again. This is nothing new, I spend time one-on-one with a lot of women and am often privy to such information. But this situation was different; my friend is in her forties and has already raised her children. I was completely floored, because I can’t think of anything I would less like to be today than pregnant, except maybe the mother of toddlers. I asked if she was excited at the prospect and she sighed and said two words: not really. What?? You see, her guy loves having kiddos around the house. And over the last few months he kept hinting that he would like to have more. They finally sat down and seriously talked about it and he confessed that he felt that they were supposed to have more children. He said he had prayed about it, hoping the feeling would dissipate but it came on stronger, would she consider it? This friend of mine is a fantastic Mom, she is all in on the parenting gig right up until they fly the nest, and is so close to having it be just the two of them. And yet…..she said she would pray about it. My friend asked God about having more children and did not feel what her guy did, she basically got no answer, and yet she agreed to try to conceive for a few months. She said she never prayed against having another baby, and even got excited at the thought here and there, and yet in her heart, really did not want to start over again. At the time that we talked about it, there was no baby news and as a couple they agreed that the time had come to stop trying. She was sad that her guy did not get what he wanted and believed was right, but she was also so relieved. Bittersweet. I sat with my mouth hanging open as she shared her story; what would I have done in her place? Can I honestly say that I would be open to such a departure from my plan, just to appease my guy? In my opinion this is an extreme act of service and sacrificial love. And trust, in her guy and in her God. Over time I have watched many friends being taken on adventures that they never could have imagined, because they were open to God’s calling, even when it seemed inconvenient or even reckless. What crazy idea is stirring in your heart these days, or in the hints of your spouse? How are you going to respond? Share this: Share Facebook Twitter Pinterest Email Print Like this: Like Loading...

Siegel, M.D.,FACS Assistant Clinical Professor Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine Blog > Signs of Impacted Earwax RSS Feed Signs of Impacted Earwax posted: Jan. 13, 2021. Dealing with a buildup of earwax? Find out how earwax impaction can affect your hearing. Earwax is important for the health of the ear, as it helps trap bacteria and other particles that could affect the health and function of the eardrum. So, while you might think that earwax is simply a nuisance that you need to get rid of, it’s best to leave your ears alone. After all, your ears are self-cleaning. In fact, using Q-tips in your ears can simply just push earwax further into the ear canal, leading to impaction. If you are dealing with impacted earwax you may experience, Muffled hearing A feeling of fullness in the ears Ringing in the ears (tinnitus) Ear pain Dizziness If an infection develops you may notice a severe earache, drainage comes from the ear or a fever. If you develop symptoms of an infection, you must see your ENT as soon as possible for treatment. What should I do if I have an earwax impaction? If you have impacted earwax you may try over-the-counter kits to rinse out the ears and remove the earwax; however, it’s best to have a qualified ENT doctor examine your ear and not just determine if your symptoms are due to impacted earwax but also to safely remove the excess wax. If you are dealing with impacted earwax you mustn’t stick a cotton swab or other tools into your ears to try and remove the earwax, as this could damage or puncture the eardrum. Your ENT doctor has special tools and suction devices to be able to flush out the earwax buildup and to clean out the ears. Some people are prone to earwax buildup, particularly seniors. If this is something that you deal with regularly then your doctor may recommend special ear drops that can break up the earwax. If you’re having trouble with impacted earwax, or earwax buildup talk with your ENT specialist about safe strategies to keep your ears clean. While there are tools that can be effective and safe, when used properly, you may wish to turn to a qualified doctor to find out the best way to keep your ears clean.

Use Edit
Toilet training begins very early in China, sometimes within days of birth and usually no later than a month.[5] Frequently babies are held closely by parents, grandparents or other extended family members caring for them, sensitive to when they need to relieve themselves.[6] A child who appears ready to urinate or defecate is held over the toilet or any other receptacle available if a commode cannot be reached in time. The adult makes a high-pitched soft whistle while holding the child in a bǎ (Chinese: 把), or bunched-up position, a term sometimes used for the whole process, imitating the sound of running water or urine, to get the child to relax the appropriate muscles.[7][5] Open-crotch pants for 3- to 6-month-olds, for sale in Haikou Open-crotch pants are worn when the child is first taken out of the house. Mostly male children wear them; girls (and occasionally some boys) are put in infant-size sundresses.[2] Their use continues even after wearers have gained some control over their bodily functions, since they may not have yet gained the stature or motor skills necessary to use a toilet. Instead, when outdoors, they use a wastebasket or large potted plant. If neither of those is available, caretakers often let the children use the sidewalk or any other available uncovered surface and clean it up themselves afterwards.[5]
History Edit
Advantages and disadvantages Edit
Despite the increasing prevalence of diaper use, which became a $3-billion industry in the country by 2010,[4] enough Chinese parents still use open-crotch pants, or consider doing so, for parenting websites in that language to list their benefits and detriments to better help parents make an informed decision. Among the former are that their use offsets the infant's inability to communicate, eliminates the need for scheduled toileting times and greatly reduces the need to wash soiled clothing.[13] Most frequently cited is the ability to begin and finish toilet training earlier. It is not uncommon for infants in kaidangku to begin being toilet trained before their first birthday and be fully trained around that milestone or shortly afterwards, before most of their Western counterparts have even begun. During a 1981 visit to a Beijing preschool, Fox Butterfield, then a Chinese correspondent for The New York Times, reported that he expressed skepticism from his own contemporaneous parenting experience over the possibility that children that young could be successfully toilet trained, only to have it immediately dispelled by a 14-month-old girl's timely use of the spittoon provided for her.[14] However, parents are cautioned that kaidangku can be dirtier, leading to a higher risk of problems like urethritis, cystitis and other complications of urinary tract infections. Children in them are also believed to face a higher risk of frostbite in winter, and 163.com warns that boys with easy access to their exposed genitals "can easily develop bad habits."[13] Goodbaby, the Shanghai-based diaper maker, lists some other problems with open-crotch pants on its website. In addition to the medical, sanitary and environmental drawbacks, it says that they show no respect for the child's privacy and that he may in the future be embarrassed by photographs of himself wearing them, particularly as they become less common. While it admits that kaidangku use results merely from different cultural values and not ignorance, it counsels, "we must admit foreign practices are more rigorous and show more respect for the child."[15] Wong, in her memoir, describes another negative side effect. In the early 1990s, she reported on China's leading penis-enlargement surgeon. Many of his patients were men who, as children on farms, suffered serious injury to their organs when they squatted in their open-crotch pants in areas where dogs or pigs ate their own feces and the animals bit the boys' penises in the confusion. Some had never married because of the injury. "China desperately needed a Pampers factory, or at least a dog-food industry," she wrote.[16] Lastly, in his 1996 memoir The Attic, artist Guanlong Cao recalls an incidental benefit of kaidangku to his parents: When [my sister] Chuen was three years old, she still wore open-crotch pants that revealed two banana-shaped slices of her bottom. She liked to climb the wooden ladder that leaned against the south window. The slanted roof outside the window was a constant temptation to her. But she was only allowed to climb three steps, poke her head outside, and sneak a peek at the world. As soon as her little foot moved toward the fourth rung of the ladder, a slap on the bottom was guaranteed. In addition to the hygienic convenience, I presume this was another technical advantage of the classic open-crotch pants.[17]
Use in West Edit
As Chinese parents were migrating from kaidangku to diapers, some Western parents were going in the opposite direction, concerned about the environmental impact of used diapers and the health effects on the child. In her 2006 book Diaper Free, Ingrid Bauer bemoaned the marketing success of diaper manufacturers in China. "The traditional kaidangku have rapidly disappeared from the major cities in the last half-decade and are rapidly being replaced by diapers ... Aggressive advertisers create an impression that consumer products are vastly superior to what mothers have practiced for eons and urge parents to buy what they can barely afford," she wrote.[18] Around that same time, inspired by the Chinese example, parents in the U.S. and other Western countries began forming "diaper-free" support groups and practicing elimination communication toilet training on younger babies, using the ba whistling sound to incite urination. Some that The New York Times talked to in 2005 suggested they had gone to that city's Chinatown to purchase open-crotch pants for their own children.[19] Western parents working in China also saw the use of kaidangku up close, and in some cases decided to emulate Chinese methods in toilet training their own children.[5]

Steven Stanley
Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
Can the state force a person to take drugs in order to execute him? That is the grisly question raised by the case of Steven Staley, a convicted murderer who believes polygraph machines are controlling and torturing him. Even though he’s psychotic, Staley is scheduled to be executed next week, based on a judge’s order requiring him to take medication he has refused. If Texas actually goes ahead with this deeply disturbing plan, it will be the first state, as far as I can tell, to drug someone in order to carry out a death sentence. That is a distinction that no one on the planet should want to have. Update, May 14, 2012: On Monday, the state appeals court stayed Staley’s execution for procedural reasons without ruling one way or the other, on forcible medication.
Here are the facts of Staley’s crime: In September 1989, he escaped from a Denver jail and went on an armed robbery spree, hitting up nine businesses in four states. The last one was the Steak and Ale Restaurant in Tarrant County, Texas. Just before closing, Staley and two friends came in, and Staley herded the employees into a kitchen storeroom and made manager Robert Read open the cash registers and the safe. He then took Read as a hostage, forced him into the back of a car, and shot him dead during a high-speed chase by the police.
And here are the facts of Staley’s mental illness: He has a long history of paranoid schizophrenia and depression. Staley was abused as a child by his mother, who was also mentally ill; when he was 6 or 7 she tried to pound a wooden stake through his chest. His father was an alcoholic. Staley tried to kill himself as a teenager. Doctors who have examined Staley on death row have said that he talks in a robot-like monotone yet has “grandiose and paranoid” delusions, including the beliefs that he invented the first car and marketed a character from Star Trek. He has given himself black eyes and self-inflicted lacerations and has been found spreading feces and covered with urine. Medicated with the anti-psychotic drug Haldol, Staley complained of paralysis and sometimes appeared to be in a catatonic state. He has worn a bald spot on the back of his head from lying on the floor of his cell.
Staley was found competent to stand trial back in 1991. The standard is low: A defendant has to be able to understand the charges against him and consult rationally with his lawyer so he can aid in his own defense. The standard for competency at execution was set by Ford v Wainwright, a 1986 case in which the Supreme Court said that the Eighth Amendment’s bar against cruel and unusual punishment forbids execution of the “insane.” Indeed, at the time no state permitted such an execution. The court quoted British judges in the 17th century worrying about the “miserable spectacle” of “extream inhumanity and cruelty” presented by executing a “mad man.” It served no retributive purpose, Justice Thurgood Marshall wrote, to execute a person “who has no comprehension of why he has been singled out.” He also noted “the natural abhorrence civilized societies feel at killing one who has no capacity to come to grips with his own conscience or deity.”
The problem with Ford is that the justices’ holding didn’t match their rhetoric. A defendant can be executed as long as he shows some rational understanding that he is about to die and why. Many people with serious mental illness can grasp those basic facts, at least on some level. Among the many examples of seriously mentally ill people who have been found competent to be tried and executed is Scott Panetti, a delusional schizophrenic who represented himself in 1995 dressed in a purple cowboy suit. Panetti tried to call Jesus Christ and John Kennedy as witnesses. Then there’s the case of Andre Thomas, which is so horrific that I’m sorry to ask you to read the next two sentences. Thomas was tried and sentenced to death, for triple murders in which he cut out the hearts of his victims, six weeks after gouging out his right eye. In 2008, on death row, he gouged out his left eye and ate it. (Both Panetti and Thomas’s executions are on appeal in the Texas courts.)
OK, deep breath. In 2006, after Staley stopped his medication, Judge Wayne Salvant, in a moment of mercy, found him incompetent to be executed. The District Attorney for Tarrant County, Joe Shannon, Jr., unmercifully asked Salvant to order Staley to be forcibly medicated. Salvant entered the order, finding that medicating Staley was the only way to ensure his competency to be executed, and that “the State has an essential interest in ensuring that the sentence of this Court is carried out.”
What is behind Judge Salvant’s chilling decision? In two cases in the 1990s, the Supreme Court said that the government can forcibly medicate a mentally ill inmate if he is dangerous to himself or others, the treatment is in his medical interest, and there is no less intrusive alternative. In 2003, the court acknowledged concerns about side effects of the drugs, and emphasized that the treatment had to be medically appropriate. None of these cases involved pending executions, however. When death is the state’s end goal, how can anyone argue that forcible medication is in a prisoner’s medical interest? The Louisiana and South Carolina supreme courts have both rejected that macabre contention in ruling that to drug someone in order to execute him would violate their state constitutions.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit cracked open the door to forcible medication in 2003, in ruling that the state could execute a man who’d regained competency by taking medication on death row. The constitution doesn’t preclude executing someone who is “artificially competent,” the court said. In that case, the prisoner wasn’t refusing to take his meds, so the scenario is different than Staley’s. But this is the legal precedent that Judge Salvant cited when he ruled that forcing Staley to take Haldol would be “medically appropriate”—even though the purpose of drugging him is to make him rational enough to kill him.
I will pause in this grim tale to note, with relief, that the American Medical Association and the American Psychiatric Association hold that it is ethically unacceptable for doctors to prescribe drugs to restore competency for the purpose of execution. This should be an easy call for the Texas courts as well. If it’s awful to imagine psychotic prisoners going without their meds, it’s more awful to force shots on them so the state can kill them. If Texas fails to grasp this, other inmates will follow Steven Staley. Mental illness is common on death row. The only reason that the issues raised in Staley’s case haven’t been decided before, defense lawyers tell me, is that humane prosecutors and judges don’t insist on executing people whose sanity is so uncertain.
There’s a larger question here, beyond the one about forcible medication. It’s about halting the execution of the seriously mentally ill in the same way, and because of similar concerns about a defendant’s impairment, that the states have stopped executing the mentally disabled. Kentucky recently considered such a law and Connecticut has one. If Texas and other states followed suit, we would be spared the miserable spectacle of executing people who commit terrible crimes, but also have terrible deficits. People like Steven Staley and Scott Panetti and Andre Thomas. | positive |
Photo: Russian tanks (T-90 model) are in Luhansk Oblast, Ukraine.
Today, the Russian media actively pushed the response of Dmitry Peskov, the Russian president’s press-secretary, about Russian tanks in Donbas. The words of Peskov are touted as a “refutation of Russian troops presence in Ukraine”.
InformNapalm volunteer intelligence community could not help, but join the fray. So instead of putting forth unfounded claims, we are publishing here well documented evidence and investigations identifying a whole range of Russian-made main battle tanks (MBT), which have not been issued to the Ukrainian Army and have not been supplied to Ukraine. Yet somehow, these modifications of Russian MBT types made their way to the occupied territory of Donbas. And the transfer of the hardware is carried out through non-controlled portions of the border of Ukraine with the Russian Federation in the areas of Luhansk and Donetsk Oblasts.
Through open source intelligence we identified and confirmed the presence of a number of Russian MBT modifications in the occupied territories, which could not have been captured from the Ukrainian army, as they are not in service with the armed forces of Ukraine.
T-72B, MBT 1989
Modernized version of the T-72 equipped with new armament and fire control systems, Kontakt-5 explosive reactive armor (ERA), 9K120 Svir laser-guided antitank guided missile system (ATGM), B-84 engine, 1A40 fire control system and 2A46M smoothbore gun.
Never supplied to Ukraine. It has been identified in Luhansk, Debaltseve and Makiivka in numerous InformNapalm investigations. The 5th Armored Brigade of the Eastern Military District of Russia was identified as its operator.
investigation #1 investigation #2
T-72BA MBT 1999 model
A modernized modification of the T-72B, modernization is performed at the Uralvagonzavod factory within an overhaul. First tanks were delivered in 1999-2000. The modification included upgrading of 1A40-1 fire control system (initially to 1A40-1M, and as of 2005 to 1A40-M2), installation of a new 2E42-4 Jasmine gun stabilizer, enhanced anti-landmine bottom protection with an additional armor-plate under the driver seat, replacement of the chassis and the engine (initially, with B-84MS engine, as of 2003 – with B-92S2), and installation of Kontakt-5 ERA. The modified vehicle is set apart from the regular B model through treads, ERA and a distinctive wind sensor on the turret. Never supplied to Ukraine.
The destruction of Russian tanks of this modification was recorded near Starobesheve (Donetsk Oblast). Their operator was identified as the 21-th Motorized Rifle Brigade of the Russian Army.
Additional details
T-72B3 MBT 2011 model
The upgraded version of the T-72. Supplied to the Russian Army from 2012. The tank is fitted with the latest fire control system, Kontakt-5 ERA, B-84-1 engine with 840 hp rated power, Sosna-U thermal imaging scope, a wind sensor, enhanced communication equipment, an advanced gun stabilizer and a protection system from weapons of mass destruction. It also received improved automatic gun loader for new munitions, and enhanced chassis with parallel hinge track chains. Never supplied to Ukraine.
It has been identified in Luhansk, Ilovaisk and Debaltseve in numerous InformNapalm investigations. A MBT of this modification was destroyed in the area Debaltseve. In service with 6th Armored Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces.
investigation #1 investigation #2
T-90A, MBT 2006 model
Modification of the T-90. It was fitted with up-to-date second-generation ESSA thermal imaging scope, stabilized in two planes and integrated with the main scope and its range-finding channel. This enhanced the night vision range from 1800 to 4000 m. Never supplied to Ukraine.
Identified by InformNapalm in Luhansk Oblast. In service with the 136-th Motorized Rifle Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces.
Additional details
T-72S1, MBT model
The export version of the T-72B1, was supplied by Russia to Iran as well as Venezuela in 2011-2012. The main external difference from the T-72B is the TPN-3-49 night sight and the DVE-BS wind sensor. It was introduced into the Russian army in 1993, after the cancellation of a number of export sales. Never supplied to Ukraine. Identified by InformNapalm at a factory in Bile village (Luhansk Oblast) not far from the M04 motorway, 3 km west of Zbirna railway station.
Additional details
While testing in Donbas new types of weaponry, military and political leadership of the Russian Federation is also flooding the occupied territory of Ukraine with the legacy Soviet-style weapons, such as:
T-64 MBT;
T-72B MBT, 1989 model;
BM-21 Grad multiple rocket launcher;
2S1 Gvozdika 122mm self-propelled howitzer;

These and other types of weapons at the disposal of Russian occupation forces in Donbas have been repeatedly documented in InformNapalm investigations. However, the evidence proving direct deliveries of these types of equipment to the militants from the Russian Federation is beyond the scope of this publication.
For more evidence deliveries of Russian weapons to the Donbas see the InformNapalm report which was presented at the PACE autumn session.
Thus, another unfounded claim leaves Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary of the Russian president, with some egg on the face once again. Chasing some positive press trying to deny the obvious Russian invasion of Ukraine, he only embarrasses his bosses. For his every word, we have specific facts and evidence. And it all will be used not only in the media, but also in the international war crime tribunal.

How to Easily Make your own RSS feed using PHP + SQL
RSS Feed is an important part of a website/blog to attract and bring back users and make them permanent readers. Blogs like wordpress have built in rss reader, but if your website doesn’t have a rss system this tutorial is just the thing you need. As we know, RSS feeds usually using to transfer some news to readers. Today I will tell you how to create such feeds and fill it with information from database.
Here is a sample:
[sociallocker]
[/sociallocker]
Step 1. PHP
Ok, download the example files and lets start coding !
Ok, here are all used PHP files:
index.php
This file will generate RSS feed
<?php require_once('inc/db.inc.php'); require_once('inc/rss_factory.inc.php'); $sSiteUrl = 'http://localhost/dolphin7_rep_svn/demos/script-tutorials.com/9/'; $sRssIcon = 'https://www.script-tutorials.com/logo-tuts.png'; $aStoriesRSS = array(); $sSQL = "SELECT * FROM `stories` ORDER BY `id` DESC"; $aStories = $GLOBALS['MySQL']->getAll($sSQL); foreach ($aStories as $iID => $aStoryInfo) { $iStoryID = (int)$aStoryInfo['id']; $aStoriesRSS[$iID]['Guid'] = $iStoryID; $aStoriesRSS[$iID]['Title'] = $aStoryInfo['title']; $aStoriesRSS[$iID]['Link'] = $sSiteUrl . 'view.php?id=' . $iStoryID; $aStoriesRSS[$iID]['Desc'] = $aStoryInfo['description']; $aStoriesRSS[$iID]['DateTime'] = $aStoryInfo['when']; } $oRssFactory = new RssFactory(); header('Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8'); echo $oRssFactory->GenRssByData($aStoriesRSS, 'Our stories', $sSiteUrl . 'index.php', $sRssIcon); ?>
view.php
We will draw post page using this page
<?php require_once('inc/db.inc.php'); $iStoryID = (int)$_GET['id']; if ($iStoryID > 0) { $aStoryInfo = $GLOBALS['MySQL']->getRow("SELECT * FROM `stories` WHERE `id`='{$iStoryID}'"); $sStoryTitle = $aStoryInfo['title']; $sStoryDesc = $aStoryInfo['description']; echo <<<EOF <h1>{$sStoryTitle}</h1> <div>{$sStoryDesc}</div> <hr /> <div><a href="index.php">Back to RSS</a></div> EOF; } ?>
inc/db.inc.php
This is our database class. No need to give full code of that file here (it big enough). It always available as a download package.
inc/rss_factory.inc.php
This is our RSS factory class. Universal class which transforming array with information (in necessary format) into RSS code.
<?php class RssFactory { // constructor function RssFactory() {} // rss generator function GenRssByData($aRssData, $sTitle, $sMainLink, $sImage = '') { $sRSSLast = ''; if (isset($aRssData[0])) $sRSSLast = $aRssData[0]['DateTime']; $sUnitRSSFeed = ''; foreach ($aRssData as $iUnitID => $aUnitInfo) { $sUnitUrl = $aUnitInfo['Link']; $sUnitGuid = $aUnitInfo['Guid']; $sUnitTitle = $aUnitInfo['Title']; $sUnitDate = $aUnitInfo['DateTime']; $sUnitDesc = $aUnitInfo['Desc']; $sUnitRSSFeed .= "<item><title><![CDATA[{$sUnitTitle}]]></title><link><![CDATA[{$sUnitUrl}]]></link><guid><![CDATA[{$sUnitGuid}]]></guid><description><![CDATA[{$sUnitDesc}]]></description><pubDate>{$sUnitDate}</pubDate></item>"; } $sRSSTitle = "{$sTitle} RSS"; $sRSSImage = ($sImage != '') ? "<image><url>{$sImage}</url><title>{$sRSSTitle}</title><link>{$sMainLink}</link></image>" : ''; return "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><rss version=\"2.0\"><channel><title>{$sRSSTitle}</title><link>{$sMainLink}</link><description>{$sRSSTitle}</description><lastBuildDate>{$sRSSLast}</lastBuildDate>{$sRSSImage}{$sUnitRSSFeed}</channel></rss>"; } } ?>
Step 3. SQL
We will need to execute next SQL in our database. We will create table with demo stories which going to show in RSS
CREATE TABLE `stories` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `title` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', `description` text NOT NULL, `when` datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00', PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8; INSERT INTO `stories` (`id`, `title`, `description`, `when`) VALUES (1, 'First story', 'First story description here', '2010-06-01 00:00:00'), (2, 'Second story', 'Second story description here', '2010-06-02 00:00:00'), (3, 'Third story', 'Third story description here', '2010-06-03 00:00:00'), (4, 'Fourth story', 'Fourth story description here', '2010-06-04 00:00:00'), (5, 'Fifth story', 'Fifth story description here', '2010-06-05 00:00:00'), (6, 'Sixth story', 'Sixth story description here', '2010-06-06 00:00:00'), (7, 'Seventh story', 'Seventh story description here', '2010-06-07 00:00:00'), (8, 'Eighth story', 'Eighth story description here', '2010-06-08 00:00:00'), (9, 'Ninth story', 'Ninth story description here', '2010-06-09 00:00:00'), (10, 'Tenth story', 'Tenth story description here', '2010-06-10 00:00:00');
Conclusion
Today I told you how to create own RSS feed. Hope all my code easy to understand and comfortable to use. You can use this material to create own scripts into your startups. Good luck! | positive |

"Ask most Call of Duty fans who won the Advanced Warfare Championship and they'd have to sit down and think about it," says Shane "ShAnE" McKerral, a veteran of the professional Call of Duty scene. "But if you ask them who won the Black Ops 2 Championship, which was two years before, they will say Impact in a heartbeat."
McKerral has been playing Call of Duty titles at the highest level for the best part of seven years. During his time in the scene, he has won major events, finished in the top four at the world championship and was even part of the first European team to move to North America to compete with the best in the world. He is a man who has done almost all there is to do in the world of Call of Duty, but his fondest memories are of Black Ops 2, the title most loved by the professional players.
"I remember when we went to Anaheim for Black Ops 2, we were completely unheard of because the American community spat on the European side of it," recalls McKerral.
"So we walked in. We won the open bracket without losing a match and because we were a very low seed we had to come against Impact, the world champions, the best team in the world by far. We knew deep down we were way better than them, but no-one else knew it.
"First map, we absolutely ruined their lives. They were the best team in the world and we beat them by about 230 points. Going to America and having the American crowd cheering for us - that was an insane feeling."

While Black Ops 2's pro scene is home to many incredible storylines, and it is considered the game that sparked an explosion of interest in competitive Call of Duty, there is much more to it than that. The game itself is considered by many pros to be the best ever. From maps to balance to unique features and everything in between, Black Ops 2 is thought of as the best Call of Duty has ever been.
"It was just like a perfect game, the game mechanics were perfect," says McKerral.
"It was the first game where Hardpoint was brought in competitively and it was a game where the better team should win, which doesn't happen now. These games just haven't been the same since. The jet pack game doesn't suit me whatsoever. It suits the, sorry to be harsh, little brainless kid flying about with insane reaction times, not those who can outsmart them."
The tactical side of Black Ops 2 is what most of the pro players loved. The recent games have focused more on gunfights and reaction times, but four years ago a good strategy could win you any match, even against the world champions. This created a scene where you would expect to see something unexpected at every event.
"Black Ops 2 was just really balanced, from top to bottom," says Mark "MarkyB" Bryceland, one of the few players who can claim to have been at the top end of the EU scene every year since Black Ops 2.
"The maps were built perfectly, the game modes seemed to work perfectly. Even the create-a-class system, the pick 10 system, it was a real mental game.
"Nowadays, everyone's running all the same stuff, whereas back then you might be caught off guard if a team was using stun grenades, but then you'd use tactical mask to counter. The game was so much more complex, but at the same time you could outclass a team for that reason."
Both McKerral and Bryceland are leaders within their teams, and with a leadership role the extra tactics that were involved in Black Ops 2 were always going to appeal to them. The game winning decision could come down to one of their choices, after all. But for other pros who don't have the same leadership experience, there were other reasons why Black Ops 2 was one of the best Call of Duty titles to play at a high level.
"There were so many different factors, but one of the biggest ones was that the maps were designed correctly." says Ben "Bance" Bance, who place second at last year's Call of Duty Championship but didn't start to play competitively until after Black Ops 2 had been replaced by 2013's Ghosts.
"So if you have a assault rifle there are positions for you to go in, that give you benefits. Or if you have a SMG then there are buildings you can go into to still control the map and do stuff for your team."
Every Call of Duty in recent years has had a big competitive scene, but every year you can guarantee the pros will find something to moan about. Even years after each game is long gone from the competitive circuit you will still hear conversations about how Advanced Warfare was broken, or how Ghosts wasn't that entertaining to watch. But whenever Black Ops 2 comes up, there is rarely a bad word spoken.
"Black Ops 2 was so well supported," says Philip "Momo" Whitfield, a former pro player turned caster.
"It had CoDcaster, [a spectator tool designed for esports broadcasts] which we have as standard now. It had League Play, which allowed guys at home as well as me to compete and try to become the best. But all in all, it just brought that really good, raw kind of gameplay out of people. I think it was very easy to watch, very easy to understand. Hopefully, we'll be getting back to that kind of stuff this year."
Infinite Warfare is the new game of choice, but Blops 2 is a favourite.
While recent titles have moved away from the style of play that Black Ops 2 perfected, that style is exactly what the pro players pine for today. Almost every pro player will tell you that this year's return to "boots on the ground" gameplay is a great move, and could once again see growth in the scene that hasn't happened since Treyarch's classic was the competitive title of choice.
Until this year's Call of Duty, subtitled WW2, comes out, fans can rekindle the magic of Black Ops 2 via the Backwards Compatibility feature on Xbox One. Microsoft recently added Black Ops 2 to the ever-expanding list of Xbox 360 games that work on Xbox One, and it sparked a significant boost in interest and concurrent player numbers (Digital Foundry's a big fan of the back compat work, too). Black Ops 2 is back in business - and it should keep Call of Duty fans going until this November.
Meanwhile, it's clear the reverence for Black Ops 2 in the professional scene is unmatched by any other Call of Duty. As soon as the words are mentioned a smile instantly appears on the, often exhausted, faces of the players who have just come off the back of a tough on-stage match. Their eyes light up and they unleash themselves into a lengthy monologue after giving the short and blunt answers we are all used to hearing when they discuss their recent performance. | positive |

I would definitely recommend everyone who wants to buy Gamer's Club Unlocked to buy the other version of the card. This one is the gifting version, but that is not made immediately obvious and it can be hit or miss on whether employees know what it even is, much less how to properly ring it up. I ended up having to call support and visit my store 3 separate times just to get it fixed when the associate who rung me up told me the card was activated and that I could throw it away. It turned out it wasn't activated properly, and I had to talk to 5 other employees and 2 managers before I found someone who understood the problem and how to fix it. Anyone who wants this product, just go up to the register and insist on the membership with a single barcode on the back. That is a 5 star product, and lets you skip the headache.

In his book A Super Sad True Love Story , Gary Shteyngart imagines a future in which the very smell of books is disgusting to hyper-digital New Yorkers. That day is still far off, but it’s true that many of us have eschewed printed books for digital readers. And as print dies out, the pleasures of a freshly printed page go with it: the feeling of the pages, the sound of a binding cracking open, even the smell of glue and paper. For those longing for the latter, a new scent called Paper Passion might do the trick.
“The smell of a freshly printed book is the best smell in the world,” says Karl Lagerfield, who designed the packaging for Paper Passion. The German superstar was chatting with publisher Gerhard Steidl when the idea for the fragrance came up last year in Milan, at an event held by Wallpaper* magazine. Surprisingly enough, the magazine’s publishers jumped at the chance to expand into the fragrance business. They commissioned famed perfumer Geza Schoen to attempt to recreate the scent.
“It was hard,” says Schoen. “The smell of printed paper is dry and fatty; they are not notes you often work with.” The perfumer’s final scent is made from only five woody ingredients–an incredibly simple recipe, considering that many perfumes have upwards of a hundred. Lagerfeld christened the scent Paper Passion and designed the packaging–a white-bound book whose pages are cut out to hold the glass bottle. Texts from Günter Grass and Wallpaper* EIC Tony Chambers accompany fill the book’s red pages.
This isn’t the first high-fashion fragrance to rely on unusual–even industrial–scents. Comme des Garcons’ classic Odeur 53 smells of Xerox fluid and ozone, for example. But Paper Passion is perhaps the first to appeal to print devotees, for whom buying a new book is also an occasion to breath deeply.
Paper Passion is out now, timed to coincide with the release of the annual Handmade issue of Wallpaper*. Buy it on Steidl’s website here.

A couple hiking near Fort Smith, N.W.T. had an unwanted visitor Friday night and furry intruder didn't leave before grabbing a drink.
When they arrived back to the parking lot, they discovered their passenger side door was wide open.
I never thought for a second a bear could open the doors. - Genevieve Côté
"I saw all these foam pieces on the ground and I tried to remember if I parked beside all this garbage," recalls Genevieve Côté. "The passengers seat got totally shredded to pieces. And I thought to myself, oh no, oh no, a bear visited our truck."
Côté says the truck's doors were shut and the windows were rolled up, but that didn't stop the curious animal.
"I never thought for a second a bear could open the doors. So the bear got in there, left a bunch of paw prints everywhere and drank a leftover coffee."
There were prints on both sides of the vehicle and the driver's side door was ajar. Based on the size of the prints, she suspects it was a young bear.
Côté says they will have to replace the upholstery, but it could've been worse.
"I'm just shocked it didn't chew on the steering wheel or do any further damage on the inside of the vehicle. I'm so blessed."
She recommends people keep vehicle doors locked and suggested parking in the shade instead of keeping windows open. In retrospect, she says it may have been helpful to have carried a phone in case the animal had stuck around.
The couple did spot a bear ambling near the parking lot area, but she says there are plenty of black bears out this time of year.
"It's really good to know if you're encountering an aggressive bear or a curious bear and recognize the signs," she says.
The bear's visit didn't ruin the evening either. Côté says they had the rare chance to spot a wolf trying to catch an endangered whooping crane in the Salt Plains, about 30 kilometres from the Northwest Territories/Alberta border.
"There are bears out in the wilderness, that's their home. You just have to be careful about it. Wildlife is just spectacular in many ways." | positive |

Do your kids feel that board games are ho-hum without advertising from some of the world’s biggest brands? Maybe your girls and boys are bored with the virtual tooth fairy they already have (yes, this exists) and the only way to make them happy is to pay more to unlock a VIP edition? Or does your potty-training youngster cry because he or she has to take their eyes away from the iPad for a few seconds while they do their digestive duty? Then we have some toys for you!
Yes, the folks at the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood have released the list of nominees for the group’s annual TOADY award for the worst toy of the year.
First up, is a toy that Consumerist actually brought to the CCFC’s attention back in July: Monopoly Empire, a version of the classic board game that uses dozens of existing name brands to advertise to kids. Among the companies found around the board — Target, Coca-Cola, eBay, Yahoo, Nerf, Chevrolet, Beats Audio, Carnival Cruise, Intel, Samsung, JetBlue, and of course McDonald’s.
“For more than 60 years, Monopoly was almost the perfect board game. But one thing was missing: ads!” writes CCFC. “Is there a better way to teach kids that whoever owns the most brands, wins?”
And guess how much you get paid for letting your living become a hands-on ad for several hours? Oh, wait… it costs you $20, and not in Monopoly money.
The second nominee is an app called PLAY-DOH Create ABCs. Yup, it’s the PLAY-DOH experience, but on a smartphone or tablet. For a few bucks (CCFC has it listed at $1.99 but it’s showing for $2.99 in the app store for us; not that we’re buying), you can save the hassle of cleaning up PLAY-DOH while also letting an iPad teach your kids the alphabet… Forgetting that the purpose of PLAY-DOH is to inspire kids to think creatively in three dimensions and use their hands.
“No more awkward guesses about what those Play Doh creations are supposed to be,” jests CCFC, “if your little one even bothers to look up from the screen to show you.”
Speaking of not being able to tear kids away from a screen, there’s the third nominee, the on-the-nose named iPotty. For parents who have no problem not only putting a $600 piece of electronics in a toddler’s hands, but who have no issue putting that device and the toddler together on a $35 piece of plastic intended for the collection of human waste.
Of course, many of these kids are just mimicking their parents who won’t let a potty break stop them from checking their portable electronic devices.
The fourth nominee is truly something that is beyond my understanding. First, there is a website called The Real Tooth Fairies (look it up if you want, because after the flash-video horror I experienced just now, there no chance I’m posting a link) where you can create and dress up virtual tooth fairies. That’s bad enough, but at least it doesn’t cost anything other than the brain cells you’ve lost in looking at the site.
What got the TOADY nomination was the, a $60/year membership plan that basically gives your kids the ability to pick from more virtual outfits and use whatever “sparkle dollars” to give their Tooth Fairy a makeover, all while mocking the buck-toothed, glasses-wearing fairy-wannabe Stepella. So it’s a way to charge parents money to enforce gender, fashion, physical, cultural, and class stereotypes. Rad!
The final nominee, the Imaginext Mega Apatosaurus by Fisher Price, takes two things kids love — dinosaurs and warfare — and combines them into one $40 toy. What’s worse, says the CCFC, is that in spite of the word “imagine” sort-of being in the product name (Imaginext sounds like a prescription drug, or a horrible convention you might stumble into), there really isn’t much for the kid to do with this toy.
“Battery powered, it moves and roars and shoots without kids having to move a muscle—or use their imaginations,” reads the nomination. “If only the real dinos had been packing heat, maybe they wouldn’t have gone extinct!”
You can vote for your choices on this year’s TOADY Awards at the CCFC website. | positive |

When Leon Sinoff was asked to sign off on a building lease for Imagine Columbus Primary Academy in Columbus, Ohio, in the summer of 2013, he had little reason to be skeptical. Before Imagine Schools, one of the nation’s largest for-profit charter management companies, asked him to join the new charter school’s board, Sinoff, a public defender, had no education background or experience. “I relied on their expertise and thought to myself, ‘Well, who am I to say no to this proposal?'” Sinoff says.
But by the start of the second school year, he was having doubts. The school received an F grade for achievement on the 2013-14 state report card. Only three teachers had returned after the first summer break; within two years, two principals and one vice principal stepped down. The school—which serves a high-poverty, low-income community—lacked arts, music, and foreign language classes, and whenever the board inquired about adding them, Imagine said there wasn’t enough money. Then Sinoff discovered that the $58,000-a-month lease—consuming nearly half the school’s operating budget, compared with the national standard of 8 to 15 percent—was for a building owned by a subsidiary of Imagine, Schoolhouse Finance LLC.
“It clicked for me. Aha! This is self-dealing. That’s why we are massively overpaying for the lease,” says Sinoff, who resigned with the other board members this summer. He adds, “Imagine is perfectly happy cranking out low-quality schools and profiting off them. They don’t care particularly about the quality of the kids’ education.”
Before Imagine Columbus Primary Academy opened, a different Imagine school operated in the building for eight years. Its story was nearly identical: The struggling school was paying enormous sums to Schoolhouse Finance while languishing on the state’s “academic emergency” list—a designation reserved for F-rated schools—before its board voted to shut it down. One member of that board was David Hansen, who shortly after the school’s closing was appointed by Gov. John Kasich to a newly created position: executive director of Ohio’s Office of Quality School Choice and Funding. Kasich tasked Hansen with overseeing the expansion of the state’s charter schools and virtual schools, which are online charter schools typically used by homeschoolers.
“Imagine is perfectly happy cranking out low-quality schools and profiting off of them.”
In July, Hansen resigned after admitting he had rigged evaluations of the state’s charter school sponsors—the nonprofits that authorize and oversee the schools in exchange for a fee—by not including the failing grades of certain F-rated schools in his assessment. Specifically, he omitted failing virtual schools operated by for-profit management companies that are owned by major Republican donors in the state.
Kasich, now running for the Republican presidential nomination, has waved off the Hansen scandal. “I mean, the guy is gone. He’s gone,” Kasich told reporters on the campaign trail. “We don’t tolerate any sort of not open and direct communication about charter schools, and everybody gets it. So that’s kind of the end of it.”
But Kasich can’t distance himself from the problems so easily. He appointed Hansen to his role, and Hansen’s wife is Kasich’s current presidential campaign manager and former chief of staff. He presided over an expanded charter regime with loosened oversight. Troubled charter schools like those operated by Imagine, which had 17 schools in Ohio at its apex in the 2013-14 school year and 14 schools last year, have proliferated in this environment. Schools with D or F grades receive an estimated 90 percent of the state’s charter school funding. Virtual schools, which have an even worse academic track record and insufficient quality controls have been permitted to flourish.
In the four years that Kasich has been in office, funding for traditional public schools has declined by almost half a billion dollars, while charter schools have seen a funding increase of more than 25 percent. Much of that funding appears to have been misspent. When State Auditor David Yost visited 30 charter schools unannounced this past fall, he found that in more than half of them, attendance was drastically lower than the schools had reported to the Department of Education. Because the state typically dispenses funds based on student enrollment, inflated classroom numbers can mean extra dollars for a school.
It wasn’t until this winter, after Stanford University’s Center for Research on Education Outcomes released a report finding that achievement in Ohio’s charter schools fell significantly below the state’s regular public schools, that Kasich began speaking about the need for reforms. “We want to clean up these charter schools that are not doing a good job,” he said in February. He laid out a plan to get serious about charter sponsor evaluations—the same evaluations Hansen was overseeing and later rigged.
“Kasich’s talked a good game about it,” says Stephen Dyer, a former Democratic state legislator and current education policy analyst at Innovation Ohio, a Columbus think tank. “He’s done some public posturing that’s been positive, but when you look at the actual results under his watch, our charter schools have become a national joke, and he hasn’t been able to get through any meaningful sort of broad-based reform.”
“You have big political contributors who have really driven the school-choice movement in Ohio”
Even Ohio organizations that support school choice, such as the Fordham Institute and the state chapter of StudentsFirst, founded by Michelle Rhee, have called for greater reforms. The National Association of Charter School Authorizers, a Chicago-based organization that coincidentally hired Hansen in 2009 to oversee external affairs, referred to Ohio as the “Wild, Wild West” of charter schools.
In his first year in office, Kasich lifted the state’s cap on the number of charter schools that could operate, and the following year he signed a bill ending a decade-long moratorium on new virtual schools. That same year, Kasich signed legislation that relieved virtual schools of any responsibility to report how much they spend on classroom instruction. The bill also stipulated that virtual-school students would be automatically re-enrolled each year so that there would be “no interruption in state funding.” Given that virtual schools have some of the highest attrition rates and funds are allocated on a per-pupil basis, the measure gave funds to virtual schools before they even knew what their true enrollment would be.
“It doesn’t make sense unless you look at it through a political prism,” says Dyer.
When the national charter school discussion began in the early 1990s, the conversation centered largely on the idea of small, innovative schools that matched the specific needs of a particular student demographic. Early advocates hoped charter schools would become laboratories for innovative teaching methods that would one day be integrated into traditional public schools. Terms like “competition” and “portfolio model,” associated today with charter schools, were in many ways the antithesis of the original design. But the model began to change in the late 1990s, when, according to National Education Policy Center researcher Gary Miron, people from the business sector decided they wanted to test market theories on education.
Ohio’s charter law went into effect in 1998, and corporate interests were all over the state’s school-choice blueprint. “It was a political movement, not an education movement,” says Dyer. “You have big political contributors who have really driven the school-choice movement in Ohio for a long time.”
The two central figures in Ohio’s corporate charter movement, David Brennan and Bill Lager, have donated a combined $6.4 million to state legislators and committees, more than 90 percent of which went to Republicans, who have dominated the state House and Senate. Their donations have paid off. Since 1998, the state has given $1.76 billion to schools run by Brennan’s White Hat Management and Lager’s Electronic Classrooms of Tomorrow, accounting for one-quarter of all state charter funds.
“Why do we accept this for our kids? It’s not good enough for kids in Missouri, but it’s okay for kids in Ohio?”
F-rated virtual schools run by White Hat Management were among the charters Hansen purposely omitted from sponsor evaluations this summer, resulting in an “exemplary” grade for the Ohio Council of Community Schools, which sponsors many White Hat virtual schools. Another sponsor that benefited from Hansen’s flawed math, Buckeye Community Hope Foundation, oversees 51 charter schools, including another struggling Imagine school on whose board Hansen previously sat.
The majority of the Ohio Department of Education’s elected board members—other members are appointed by the governor—have called for an investigation into Hansen’s manipulated evaluations and for the resignation of State Superintendent Richard Ross*. Kasich has brushed off both requests, instead proposing a restructuring of the board to provide greater gubernatorial control. “I don’t like the structure of it,” Kasich told the Columbus Dispatch. “I don’t like the infighting.”
Tim Pingle, a former Imagine Columbus Primary Academy principal, is frustrated that schools like his old one are allowed to remain open. “Why do we accept this for our kids?” he asks, noting that Imagine Schools was kicked out of Missouri after years of financial and academic concerns. “It’s not good enough for the kids in Missouri, but it’s okay for kids in Ohio?”
In June, the Ohio Senate approved bipartisan legislation to reform the state’s charter schools, but the measure stalled in the state House. And so last week, Imagine Columbus Primary Academy opened its doors for its third year—with its third principal and second school board.
“I’m sure [Imagine’s new board] is even more oblivious than we were, given that we caused a lot of trouble in the end,” says Sinoff, who resigned after Imagine refused to re-negotiate the high-priced lease. “I think that they are not entirely happy that we squeaked through the filter to make life difficult. I’m sure they haven’t made that mistake again, and they have folks even more oblivious than we were.”

Note: viewership of around 100,000 or lower is technically what Nielsen refers to as a “scratch” i.e., not enough Nielsen panelists watched for Nielsen to validate it. There are around 40,000 homes in the Nielsen panel and a bit over 100,000 panelists, where 1 Nielsen panelist watching a whole telecast represents around 3,000 people. So something averaging a million viewers averaged around 370 people out of the ~100K panel — small, but still statistically significant. But when there’s a show with 30,000 viewers, that’s only around 10 Nielsen panelists… | positive |
Mudlet 2.0 Overview 6 min read
Mudlet 2.0 is now available for download for Windows, OSX and Linux platforms! Mudlet is a Free and Open Source game client for playing online text-based MUDs.
What is Mudlet?
It is a game client for on-line text games, MUDs. There are hundreds of these games out there, some existing for several decades! Pick up Mudlet and jump into playing any of these games – all of which have involved storylines, unique PvP and PvE systems, crafting, sailing, travelling in space and many other things you wouldn’t think of!
New Addition: Mudlet Mapper
The highlight of this release is the addition of a mapper – an extension of Mudlet that allows you to create, view, and speedwalk on a map of the game you’re playing.
Feature rich
Mudlets mapper sports both 2D and 3D views, extremely efficient pathfinding, ability to plot text and images onto the map, map image backgrounds and on-map notes, custom exit lines to explain the most difficult of geography, room highlights, per-room data storage and more. The mapper covers your basic g geography needs of mapping and speedwalking, and allows you to go way further by turning the map into a tool you can build on.
It supports everything from mapping wilderness areas in their original ASCII, to 3D room format or 2D room format. Complicated geography can be explained away with custom exit lines, and you can choose to map entire MUDs to be on display at once – performance is not an issue. Relevant rooms can be marked with a character, entire areas can be labelled or given a background to set the feel.
Speedwalking can be accomplished both via cardinal and special exits; special exits are completely scriptable and support complex sequences of events to make them happen. Preferred rooms for speedwalking can be singled out with room weights, or and rooms you’d like to avoid can be locked out of speedwalking altogether – or you can also just lock an exit from being used, keeping the room available.
Performance
Like Mudlet, the mapper is designed for speed. It easily scales to thousands of rooms in the map and single area – here’s 31k rooms in one area, shown at once. Not bad, huh? The image itself takes up 9.6k x 6.3k pixels.
Pathfinding (working out a way to get from A to B) is extremely quick – on absolutely giant worlds, it doesn’t give any noticeable freezes. You won’t feel lagged down having giant maps and needing to walk around in them, at all.
Highly scriptable
The mapper is highly customizable and scriptable – there are over 60 functions to completely manipulate the mapper and map data. This allows you to build amazing scripts with this map interaction – scripts that track people visually on the map, scripts that plot your demesne of power, and many more things you can imagine.
This makes a lot of tools possible as well – for example, a complete Cmud → Mudlet map importer was scripted within Mudlet.
Map auto-download
If your MUD provides public maps, Mudlet makes it very easy for your players to obtain the map and keep it up to date. This makes for a much more welcoming experience to new players, who don’t feel as lost once they press a map button get a layout of the world – just by pressing the Map button, Mudlet will automatically download the games map for them.
At the moment, all IronRealms games – Achaea, Aetolia, Imperian, Lusternia and Midkemia Online support this feature! If you would like to see your MUD added, get in touch.
MXP
Mudlet 2.0 introduces support for MXP! This makes clickable links and menus within games work, so give it a go – you might find it personally way easier to deal with clicking on text than typing out long commands. This can give a more welcoming experience to new players as well when they’re exploring the world of MUDs.
Modules & Packages
Mudlet 2.0 introduces a new feature of Mudlet package. Mudlet packages can contain multiple aliases, triggers, scripts, keys and so on – bundled together with any other resources that your script might require (such as artwork for a GUI, or sounds). All this is easily installable as a whole within Mudlet.
This not only allows users to create and share fully fledged UIs without fuss with others, but also allows your MUD to have a distinct look & feel as soon as a Mudlet user connects to it – Mudlet supports automatic UI download and updating from your MUD server.
Getting rid of a package is easy as well – removing the package will uninstall all triggers, aliases, scripts and other resources that it brought in.
Package exporter
To create the said packages, a new tool is available in Mudlet that makes the task much easier now. It allows you to select multiple triggers, aliases, timers, scripts, keys or buttons and export them altogether as one.
Modules
The new Module manager, alongside the Package manager, can install Mudlet packages as well for you – in a way that’ll make managing multiple profiles or developing a script easy.
Modules allow a single script to be synchronized across the profiles you’ve installed it at – so if you edit or update the script on one profile, saving it will instantly synchronize it with all profiles that make use of it.
As well as that, modules can synchronize directly to disk on save, which makes the life of a script author much easier – there’s no need to re-export every time you’re done working with a script.
GMCP
Full GMCP support is now available within Mudlet with 2.0 – so for MUDs that support it, you can enjoy hassle-free data use in your scripts. GMCP is the successor of ATCP – it allows the MUD and the client to communicate out of band, send complex messages while being easy to deal with client-side and not requiring any special parsing.
Colour logging
Full color logging is now available in Mudlet – you can either select to log specific parts, or have it permalog, or even go scroll back and save a part that you haven’t logged – in color, as you saw it.
Mudlet also allows you to log, or permalog, in plain text as well.
Notable improvements
A variety of things of things were improved in this latest update:
you can now use the ‘cancel’ button to stop Mudlet from closing if you closed it accidentally
Mudlet will now open maximized if you’ve closed it maximized
Mapper will now remember it’s checkboxes and panel status
For scripters:
new on connect and disconnect events
event handlers can now be inside tables, and it’s possible to register new events via API
print() is now available, works the same way as in Lua’s interpreter
searching in Mudlet is case-insensitive now
installPackage() and uninstallPackage(), along with downloadFile(), help you do automatic updates
… and more. For a complete list of changes, see the changelog available here.
We would like to thank everybody who made our 2.0 release happen – both in detailed feedback and problem reports, code contributions, wiki help, forums moderation and everything else. This is a client made by MUD players for MUD players – and for you, the community. Thank you! | positive |

BRIDGE TO NOWHERE: The Deir e-Zor Siyasiya Bridge, the last active supply route into the predominantly Islamic State-controlled provincial capital, was crippled Monday morning by a blast by an as-yet unknown party, isolating the city from its suburbs.
“The explosion took place after charges were placed on the sides of the bridge and detonated by remote control,” a spokesperson for the city who asked not be named told Syria Direct Monday.
In this photograph taking shortly after the explosion, the suspension bridge is severed just before it stretches over the Euphrates River.
Earlier on Monday, the monitoring group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that the bridge was destroyed by surface-to-surface missiles.
Prior to the explosion, the Siyasiya Bridge connected Deir e-Zor city, situated on the southwest bank of the Euphrates, to supplies on the northeast side of the river. IS used the bridge to transport military supplies, food and other humanitarian goods into the city. Regime forces sit west of Deir e-Zor, making it difficult to supply the city from that direction.
“Now the only way to transport supplies into the city is by boat,” said pro-opposition news agency Sham News Network.
While it is unclear who led the attack, the pro-Assad Lebanese news site Al-Manar claimed that the Syrian government was responsible.
“Syrian forces destroyed the Siyasiya Bridge in an operation carried about by the Special Forces and a team of Army engineers,” reported Al-Manar Monday.
Official Syrian new agencies had not commented on the event as of Monday.
The regime has increased its attacks on the oil-rich eastern province since IS began to amass soldiers around the Deir e-Zor military airport in late August in preparation to storm it.
Before IS gained control of the provincial capital, it was able to drive an alliance of FSA-affiliated fighters and Jabhat a-Nusra into submission after it captured the bridge on June 3 this year. The bridge has been key to controlling the city: Whomever held control of it usually controlled the city soon after.

Minecraft PE City Seed
Seed: bigneon Seed Number: -114391338 Minecraft: Pocket Edition/PE/Bedrock Edition Tested On: Minecraft 1.6.1
Description
We love this city seed. From the game spawn point, head in the direction shown in the screenshots below. You don’t have to travel far before you’ll be at the desert city. There are plenty of houses, villagers and two blacksmiths with iron loot. There’s also a desert temple with four more chests to raid. These city seeds are getting harder and harder to find (we wonder if they’re secretly engineering them out of the game or making them rarer). We’ll keep looking, though!
UPDATE: In Minecraft Bedrock Edition versions the desert temple generates closer to the spawn point than in previous versions of Pocket Edition. The city itself is the same, however.
