Mukwonago student Collin Muelling, (right) layers on toppings in the lunch line at Mukwonago High School, where football players led a boycott of the new federally mandated school lunch calorie limits. Credit: Michael Sears SHARE By of the Mukwonago - By 7 a.m. Monday, senior Nick Blohm already had burned about 250 calories in the Mukwonago High School weight room. He grabbed a bagel and a Gatorade afterward; if he eats before lifting, he gets sick. That was followed by eight periods in the classroom, and then three hours of football practice. By the time he headed home, he had burned upward of 3,000 calories - his coach thinks the number is even higher. But the calorie cap for his school lunch? 850 calories. "A lot of us are starting to get hungry even before the practice begins," Blohm said. "Our metabolisms are all sped up." Following new federal guidelines, school districts nationwide have retooled their menus to meet new requirements to serve more whole grains, only low-fat or nonfat milk, daily helpings of both fruits and vegetables, and fewer sugary and salty items. And for the first time, federal funds for school lunches mandate age-aligned calorie maximums. The adjustments are part of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 touted by Michelle Obama and use the updated Dietary Guidelines for Americans from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The changes are hard to swallow for students like Blohm. On Monday, 70% of the 830 Mukwonago High students who normally buy lunch boycotted cafeteria food to protest what they see as an unfair "one size fits all thing." Middle schoolers in the district also boycotted their school lunches, with counts down nearly half Monday. They're not alone in their frustration; schools across the country are reporting students who are unhappy with the lunch offerings. The sub sandwich line at Mukwonago High used to let students pile veggies on a six-inch French bread bun. Options now include a fist-sized whole wheat roll or multigrain wrap, and the once popular line is now mostly empty. The healthier food is less the issue than the portions. "A freshman girl who weighs 100 pounds can eat this lunch and feel completely full, maybe even a little bloated," said Joey Bougneit, a Mukwonago senior. But Blohm is a 6-foot-3-inch, 210-pound linebacker. He's also class president, and takes several Advanced Placement classes. If schools want students to perform well, he said, they can't be sitting in their chairs hungry. Last year's fare featured favorites like chicken nuggets and mini corn dogs in helpings that were "relatively decent," Bougneit said. But health-conscious regulations have changed that. Last week's super nacho plate, for example, offered just eight tortilla chips. Adding to the dissatisfaction is a 10-cent price hike on lunches because the USDA, which oversees the National School Lunch Program, forced many districts to raise full-price lunches closer to the $2.86 it reimburses for students who qualify for free lunches. That means the leaner, greener lunches at Mukwonago High this year now cost $2.50 instead of $2.40. "Now it's worse tasting, smaller sized and higher priced," Bougneit said. Officials share concerns Pam Harris, the district food service supervisor and a registered dietitian, said children's weight and poor nutrition in America are serious problems, but the changes are too abrupt. "I could not be more passionate about this," Harris said. "I want to solve this problem. But limiting calories in school lunch is not going to help the overweight kid. What happens at home is a major piece of that puzzle." "Our issue is pretty much kids just don't want to eat vegetables," she said. "The USDA wants to solve the problem of childhood obesity. Those are two kind of separate issues." Harris spoke at all lunch periods Friday to explain the federal dietary changes and had students fill out comment cards explaining what they do and don't like about the new menu. She plans to send those and parent letters to the USDA in hopes the department will allow districts including Mukwonago to gradually introduce their menu over a few years. In a clothing store bag the size of a backpack, Blohm lugged his homemade, linebacker-size lunch including a bag of raw carrots, two ham sandwiches on wheat bread, two granola bars, an apple and three applesauce cups - an estimated total of 1,347 calories. How long will the students keep boycotting the lunch program? "I've already told my mom we might be packing my lunch for the rest of the year," Blohm said. Clay Iverson, Mukwonago's varsity football head coach, said student-athletes are bigger, stronger and more athletic than ever before, and their food intake needs have evolved. "Everything has been accelerated, and maybe nutrition hasn't been," he said. He worries that if players' stomachs are growling by the end of the school day, they'll go home and binge on anything they get their hands on and undo any of the benefits of the lighter, healthier school lunch. Teens need a push to make healthy eating choices, Iverson said, but they've got plenty else to worry about during the football season. "I wonder if the people who made the decision had to go through a day like Nick Blohm."

(Corrects Bullard’s first name to James instead of Alan in second paragraph) CHICAGO, July 3 (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve’s use of core inflation measures is harming its credibility, the new president of the St. Louis Fed wrote in an editorial released on Thursday. James Bullard, who took over from William Poole in April, said focusing on inflation indices that exclude food and energy work well when those prices are rising at rates similar to those of other prices, “but that is not what is happening today. “It is hurting Fed credibility to say that we are trying to keep inflation low and stable, but at the same time we are not counting some of the prices that are going up at the most rapid pace,” Bullard wrote in the bank’s magazine, “The Regional Economist.” Bullard’s public appearances have shown a similar hawkish bias to his predecessor. In June he said the Fed needed to start raising interest rates this year to tamp down inflation. “Price stability should be the number one goal of policy-makers today,” he wrote, defining price stability as “a small, positive rate of inflation, say 0.5 to 1.5 percent a year, depending on the price index being used.” (Reporting by Ros Krasny; Editing by Tom Hals)

This tiny storefront is the public face of @826la - a creative writer's workshop for Los Angeles students. The shop is full of really fun time travel-themed displays and merchandise, with all proceeds going to 826LA's free writing programs for kids. Dating back to 1960, @andyscoffeeshop is a beloved old diner on East Colorado in Pasadena, just west of PCC (the address is literally 1-2-3-4). They're open just for breakfast and lunch, and behind the unassuming storefront you'll find a cozy atmosphere and some really excellent breakfast mainstays. The breakfast burrito is particularly delicious, and don't skimp on the salsa. 😋 In the 1970s, there was an ambitious--albeit deeply flawed--proposal to build an elevated people mover through Downtown's financial district. The people mover never got built, but one element of the larger vision was partially realized: a network of pedestrian bridges that would have connected the various office buildings, hotels, and residential towers of Bunker Hill. We're hardly the first to highlight the Bradbury Building, but it's worth mentioning that it has reopened after being closed for much of the pandemic, allowing you to admire the glorious architecture. The main post-covid change is you can't go up to the first floor landings anymore, you have to stick to the ground floor. But if you're ever checking out Grand Central Market across the street, drop in and take a look! We were featured in the LA Times today!

Support for Religion When a Religion is good, I conceive that it will support itself; and, when it cannot support itself, and God does not take care to support, so that its Professors are oblig'd to call for the help of the Civil Power, it is a sign, I apprehend, of its being a bad one. – Benjamin Franklin The Answer Shouldn't Come First "The problem with any ideology is it gives the answer before you look at the evidence, so you have to mold the evidence to get the answer that you've already decided you've got to have" -- Bill Clinton on the Daily Show, September 20, 2012. You Didn't Devote Your Lives to Testing "Don't label a school as failing one day and then throw your hands up and walk away from it the next. Don't tell us that the only way to teach a child is to spend too much of a year preparing him to fill out a few bubbles in a standardized test...You didn't devote your lives to testing. You devoted it to teaching, and teaching is what you should be allowed to do." -- Candidate Barack Obama, Summer 2007 Hypocrisy of "Leaders" "...Teacher Appreciation Week. Politicians of every stripe and school superintendents everywhere will write letters and make proclamations stating how much they value the service and dedication of teachers everywhere. All of these words are empty and merely paying lip service to something they do not believe. By their actions, these ''leaders'' have made it obvious that they neither appreciate, admire, respect nor comprehend the jobs of the people who spend their days with the nation's children. Nor do they understand the first thing about the children in those classrooms." -- Corinne Driscoll, Syracuse, NY Daily Blog List Diane Ravitch's blog Bill Phillis: Ohio Launches “Tax-Eating Glutton” 1 hour ago A Citizen's Guide to Indiana Indiana Trial Court Temporarily Reinstates Reproductive Rights and Enjoins SB 1 2 days ago janresseger Public School Closures in Oakland: Another Example of Failed School Reform and Charter School Expansion 2 days ago Larry Cuban on School Reform and Classroom Practice Cursive Writing Redux 2 days ago gadflyonthewallblog An Open Letter to Josh Shapiro Asking Him to Reject School Vouchers 2 days ago CURMUDGUCATION PA: Yet Another Don't Say Gay Bill 2 days ago First Book Helpful Resources for Educators during Banned Books Week 2 days ago Northeast Indiana Friends of Public Education In Case You Missed It – September 19, 2022 5 days ago deutsch29 What a Contract with Ed Staffing Solutions (ESS) for Subs Looks Like 5 days ago Education in the Age of Globalization “Educational Side Effects:” Call for Submissions for Review of Research in Education 2024 1 week ago caffeinated rage Don’t Reconsider The School Performance Grading System, Catherine – Eliminate It.

Can We Really Get Out of Our Money Troubles without Raising Taxes? I’ve been saying it for years: Heaven help whatever president is in office when taxes are raised. No politician wants to be the one to raise taxes. However, we’re rapidly approaching the point at which taxes are going to have to be raised on someone. Our spending habits as a nation over the past 30 years have been horrendous. We’ve increased spending while decreasing relative revenue. That sort of financial situation is unsustainable. With the debt ceiling reached, and partisan politics being played to the hilt, no one wants to state the truth: We have to cut spending and raise taxes. Some would have us believe that cutting spending alone is enough to save us from this situation. (Don’t get me started on those that think that cutting taxes will help us in this instance.) Others believe that if we just raise taxes — a little bit — we could see the solution to the problem; no spending cuts required. The problem is that the solution rises in decreased spending and increased revenues. We are to the point where our national finances are so bad that one or the other won’t help us. We have to be willing to settle on some priorities, make some cuts, and then raise some revenue. Are We, As a Nation, Ready to Fix Our Problems? The real question is whether or not we are ready, as a people, to fix our money problems. As much as we’d like to blame the economy, and the debt problems, on one president or another, or on one party or another, the truth is that we’re addicted to the spending — and the lowest taxes of almost any developed country — as a nation. In order to gain votes, politicians in both parties have been willing to ramp up spending for decades, keep taxes low, and generally tread a path of fiscal irresponsibility. All the while pointing fingers at “them” for the mess we’re in. But we bear some of the responsibility for this mess, too. We kept electing these guys, without demanding better financial behavior. Indeed, we have, for the most part, been taken in by the partisan bickering, so confident that the other party is to blame that we fail to see that the status quo of bigger and bigger deficits is maintained — no matter who’s in charge. As a people, we need to shoulder some of the responsibility, and demand accountability from our political leaders. We need to be willing to deal with fewer services as spending is cut, and pay higher taxes to make up for the fact that we have all been enjoying some of the benefits that come with pork-barrel spending and entitlements. Corporations — especially those that are enjoying record profits — should realize that the way things have been run for the last 30 years have been helping them to fabulous wealth. And CEOs should probably give back, considering the fiscal policies of the last few decades have resulted in salaries that are 400 times that of the average worker (up from about 30 times in the 1970s). It’s time to get real. Many of us can afford to pay more in taxes. And many of us will survive if some programs are cut. Both of these actions will need to be followed if we want the U.S. back on stable financial footing.

Paradise Palms: Paradise Town Board Agenda. The official website of Paradise Palms, Las Vegas, a mid century modern neighborhood. E-mail us at: paradisepalmslasvegas@gmail.com Check back often to stay updated on what's going on in our neighborhood. Friday, February 4, 2011 Paradise Town Board Agenda. The following was sent to me by a fellow Paradise Palmer. ________________________________________________ On February 8th, one of our neighbors, St Viator on Eastern and Flamingo, will go before the Paradise Town Board to obtain Waivers to permit the property to remain unlandscaped along Flamingo Road, Eastern Avenue, within the parking lot, and around the rear property lines and adjacent to the Flamingo Crest townhomes. For those of you who have been here a while, St. Viator at one time had trees and shrubs along these frontages, but elected to remove all living vegetation and leave only bare gravel for our community to view. This action was against Clark County code, and after facing a violation issued from Code Enforcement, St. Viator is now asking for permission to allow the current unlanscaped appearance to remain. St. Viator is claiming in their justification letter submitted to Clark County Planning that if they install the bare minimum landscape required by code, it will be vandalized and destroyed by the community. The removal of all living vegetation from the roadway frontages from this property negatively affects our community. Eastern and Flamingo are major thoroughfares, and thousands of vehicles pass by every day. This current appearance of the site sets a negative precedent for the neighborhood and for the Las Vegas Valley. The removal of landscape affects property values, exacerbates the urban heat island effect and contributes to community blight. I strongly encourage our community to voice opposition to St. Viator’s request and send an e-mail to Clark County Comprehensive Planning at alr@clarkcountynv.gov, or show up to the February 8th Town Advisory Board Meeting and ask that the bare minimum amounts of landscape required by Code be installed by the property owner. For more information, call Clark County Comprehensive Planning at 455-4314 or review the Paradise Town Board Agenda at: http://www.clarkcountynv.gov/Depts/admin....811.updated.pdf Read more: http://paradisepalmslv.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=4#ixzz1D3cJAPEC Posted by Paradise Palms at 9:01 PM Email ThisBlogThis!Share to TwitterShare to FacebookShare to Pinterest No comments: Post a Comment Newer Post Older Post Home Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom) Paradise Palms History & Builders Paradise Palms History & Overview Click here for a map of Paradise Palms Paradise Palms Map Paradise Palms Sales Brochures & Floor Plans Americana Homes at Paradise Palms Fontainebleau Estates Miranti Homes at Paradise Palms Paradise Homes Palmer & Krisel Models Stellar Greens at Paradise Palms Tropical Estates at Paradise Palms Viking Homes Paradise Palms 1963 Desert News Newsletters Paradise Palms 1963 Newsletters - Desert News Search This Blog Press for Paradise Palms.

An accidental open mic broadcasting live to Bethesda’s Twitch stream picked up a discussion about Dishonored 2 being presented during the company’s E3 press conference. Ooops. The discussion, captured in part in the YouTube video below (audio only), discusses a presentation by Harvey Smith, co-director of the first Dishonored, who moved to France following its 2012 release to work on a follow-up with Arkane Lyons. The speaker with the French accent is Raph Colantonio, president of Arkane. What we’re hearing is Colantonio and others discussing an announcement bit in which he begins speaking in French, only to be interrupted by Smith in mid-sentence. Colantonio is being given instructions to continue speaking rather than stop after the first sentence, as his speech is so fast the scripted interruption felt unnatural. It’s a candid peek behind the scenes at how these big E3 pressers are put together. If you listen to the end of the recording you can hear someone informing the speakers that a live mic is broadcasting to Bethesda’s Twitch stream. We expected a Dishonored 2 announcement tomorrow evening, and now we know it’s happening. Bethesda took the glitch in stride.

How much time does it take to get a competitive make-up before going onto the ice? - It's different for everyone, some needs more time, some less. For me it takes about an hour, at least 45 minutes. This is a make-up and a hair. - You do it yourself? - Yes, always. It’s like a ritual before the competition that must be performed, otherwise something will go wrong. - Did you study make-up somewhere or did you come up with it yourself? - I think all the girls study by trials and errors. I just loved this from childhood and somehow it attracted me a lot, so I learned rather quickly. - And what was the biggest problem? - Eyeliner, probably (laughs). Like for any girl, this is the most difficult part - to use eyeliner. - During self-isolation, you, together with Yury Smekalov, came up with a great idea to choreograph a free program. Whose idea was it? - It was Yury’s idea. I am glad that there's such a creative choreographer in my life. I immediately agreed to it because it was an unexpected idea for me. In figure skating it is customary to try to hide everything, not to reveal what kind of program there will be next season, what kind of music, what costumes. And here everything was open for the public, and not only that, the audience themselves could take part in the process. - By the way, were there many participants in the challenge? - Yes, there were a lot of mentions, but to be honest, I did not count. We chose three winners who were creative and did great. - What did Alexey Nikolaevich say? - Based on the already established figure skating tradition that it is better not to show future programs before the start of the season, there was a certain skepticism on his part. But since Alexei Nikolaevich is an innovator and he isn't called a professor for nothing, so he decided to agree to this bold act and very quickly changed his mind, allowing us to start this project. - Anya and Sergey Semaks [former football player, now coach and his wife] introduced me to Yura, and of course it is not surprising that as a cool choreographer he comes up with some creative ideas. But on the other hand, why didn’t he choreograph your Spartacus program? It would be logical to expect this from a ballet choreographer, not a surprising oriental program. - Initially, we turned to Italian choreographers [Anna Cappellini and Luca Lanotte], and they proposed "Spartacus" before we even started working with Yury. And we went for it. But I do not regret anything, all the choreographers did an excellent job. - So with Yuri you worked on an oriental dance, right? - Japanese one. - To me it looked more like some kind of Indian dances, especially with your arms positions. - I wouldn’t say it, because in India there is still more softness in the moves of the hips, body, different arms positions. Here the moves are sharper. There are some soft moments,of course, but it's still a Japanese dance. - You are a fan of “Zenit” [St Petersburg football club] and you will be skating to “Spartacus” [team from Moscow and a principal rival] for the whole season? - (Laughs) I think people will forgive me when they see my program. - How did Elizaveta Tuktamysheva from Glazov end up in St. Petersburg? - Everything happened gradually. For four years I went there and back, and the I was 14 years old we finally moved to St. Petersburg with my family. - So, you already had all the triples by the way you moved to St. Petersburg? - Yes. This was before the season when I debuted in seniors for the first time. I already had skated in juniors for a season, and then I started doing some senior events - the Grand Prix and got to the Grand Prix finals. I moved to St. Petersburg before that season. - Did you realize at that young age that you had some Ultra C elements? - I did not include the triple axel in the programs when I was 12. I only did it at practices, but it wasn't necessary. Very few people jumped 3-3 in programs back then. And at that time triple axel wasn't considered as an ultra-C, so there was no such wow-effect in doing it. - And when do you think that wow-effect appeared? - I think at the Worlds when I skated a clean short program with a triple axel. - It was 2015? - Yes. - So, the best year of your career? - I would call the last two years the best ones in my career. 2015 turned out to be the best in terms of results, but I was in my best athletic shape during last two years, I had better performances, harder content. I have never been in such a great shape as in last two years. - Will you have enough strength to keep yourself in this shape for a long time? - I don’t know, let's see (laughs). But now there's a quarantine, and it seems like we can exhale for a little bit. - On the one hand - to exhale, but on the other hand, in figure skating it's very important to maintain stability in executing jumps, because it's also an automatism to a certain extent. And here we get a break for more than a month, and it makes no sense to compare jumping on the floor to jumping on the ice. - Yes, of course, this is true, but in any case skaters usually have a break for two or three weeks. Therefore, if it is possible to somehow train your vestibular apparatus on a spinner, for example, or to somehow spin at home, there will not be such a problem when an athlete will be back on the ice. At least, there will be some muscle memory left. It's not the same as if you are back on the ice after an illness or after 6 months long recovery from a surgery. During this period we all train at homes and understand that will be back on the ice pretty soon, our brain is already focusing on the fact that we can’t relax, we will need to return to a competitive shape rather soon. We already haven’t practiced for a very long time, and the brain understands that you can’t completely relax - you watch performances, watch figure skating - and it works. Well, of course, there will be a new season, everything will start from scratch. - By the way, how did you react to the fact that they decided not to postpone the Worlds for the fall, but simply to cancel it? - I view it as a positive, because it seems to me that it would not be reasonable to have Worlds in the fall, since it will be a new season already. It's not clear to me what programs the athletes could go out with: new ones that we haven't practiced enough or the already forgotten old ones? Therefore, it is better to cancel Worlds now and then have next Worlds in the spring as we usually do. - So know you have a warm-up before the qualification for the Olympic Games. You haven't been at the Olympics yet. Will there be another attempt? - There will definitely be another one! The most intensified one (laughs)! A push, so to speak, to the Olympics. But I will make every effort, I’ll try to make it work this third time. - Don't you find it offensive that you are now called the oldest member of the Russian national figure skating team? - No, I don't find it offensive. It’s even somewhat pleasant, because few people can reach my age and remain competitive. - Well, on the other hand, the Empress cannot be young, right? - It’s also true, of course (laughs). - Why the Empress? - I was called The Scarlet Empress when I was 13 years old. I used to skate in a red dress, they even started a group on VK.com. Then there was another photoshoot - I was in a white dress, with a crown. And so it started. - I see, your love of red color remains. Photo in a red pantsuit, red lipstick. - Yes, red is my color. - So it's all about the power of fire and a vamp woman? - (Laughs) Yes, but at the same time silly and funny. - The main thing is funny. If you have a great sense of humor, then everything is ok, too. - That's for sure. If we do not laugh at ourselves, then life will laugh at us. - You wanted to play in a movie. In what genre do you see yourself, what role? What character? - I would ... (thinks) - Bond girl? - I do not know. I often watch "Friends", this is my favorite series, and I imagined whom of these three women I could have been if I got invited, if I had such opportunity. I adore Phoebe for her brilliant open nature. She is so open to the world, and I love this so much. I love Rachel because she loves fashion and is very funny. And I love Monica for her control. And I still don’t understand who I would want to be. Because I am open to the world, I love control and at the same time I like to laugh at myself very much, but I have such a silly head (laughs). - From what you listed, I have the image of a comedy heroine. - Well, comedy, yes. So, not a Bond girl, you know, rather ... Have you seen 'Red' with Bruce Willis and John Malkovich? - Yes, of course. - And there was a girl of Willis's character. - A bit crazy one. - Yes, that character looks like me, like my character from the movie, it seems (laughs). - And what is Lisa Tuktamysheva’s feature in life? From what I saw at the arenas, in conversations, what our common acquaintances told me - you are a good-natured laugher. - Well, yes, something like that. But at the same time, I can be a femme fatal (laughs). But very rarely. - This, of course, is a red make-up and a red pantsuit ... - Yes, but more often it's a funny, bit weird girl - Liza Tuktik. - Are you ready for competition with young Tutberidze's girls? - I think yes. I think we got two programs that could be very successful for me the next. I have a great desire to go out and perform with all my heart, to give all of myself, because I really like my current programs. - What needs to be done to be on equal footing and beat the girls who go for several quads and jump, jump, jump? - You need to show something else. Each has its own strengths. How to beat them? At least, if you look on the last season's results, then it is indeed very difficult to beat them, almost impossible. It is really difficult to compete with a skater with three quads in the free program or with five quads. It is necessary to do all the elements at +5 GOE, get the highest marks - all spins, step sequences, and you also need ultra-C elements. But to me it seems that you really have to be a genius in order to be at the highest step of the podium right now. - But - again, I judge from the point of view of the ordinary viewer - maybe your age is a bargaining chip, because when Tuktamysheva comes to the ice, it’s a real grown up woman's skating. - Yes, maybe, but in any case, real grown up woman or not, the execution and difficulty of the elements are the most valued and important things. So, if there is a combination of both femininity and well-executed elements, spins, jumps - then you can be competitive. Unfortunately, you can't get a medal only for being feminine (laughs). - But then it turns out that you need to add a quad. - It turns out that yes, I need. - And which quad that will be? - It will be a quad toe loop. I think that if I'd do a quad, it'll definitely be a toe loop, because it was the easiest way for me to learn and land it. - So you are ready to add difficulty in order to win? - I was ready for this at the end of this season, but given the quarantine situation we can’t train and skate as we usually do, so I don’t know what the next season will be like. Perhaps the content I already have will be enough. If skate cleanly with all three triple axels in two programs, skate well, be consistent, then this will be a good result for me. When there is such a long break, learning the quadruple from the scratch is not easy. - On the other hand, your rivals are in the same situation, especially since they have a significant disadvantage - they will become a year older and at that age, of course, this change will somehow affect their performances. - Perhaps it will, perhaps not. Everyone has a different physiology, maybe someone will do through puberty in an easy way. But I do not like to guess what will happen next. I will try to just squeeze the maximum out of my body and not to think what may happen to the bodies of my rivals. - At what Grand Prix events would you like to take part in next season? - I really love Japan, I am always pleased to skate there, and I always really hope that I will get NHK Trophy. Last year it was very cool in Las Vegas, I really liked it. I don’t know exactly the cities of the Grand Prix next season, there is still no information, but I would like to perform in Japan, but we will see. - Did you get to a casino in Las Vegas? - We lived in a hotel and downstairs was a casino. Classic hotel for Las Vegas. But we didn’t go there, because you are allowed to go there only from the age of 21, and in my company I was the only one who was over 21 (laughs). Therefore, we just walked around and enjoyed the views of the city. - Well, you could go down there on the sly, especially if you lived in the same hotel with a casino ... - But I’m not a gambler! I passed by and did not understand why people are wasting money on it. - And what is a better way to spend money on? - To buy something for myself, I think. Something for my face, body, hair, to protect skin already, to stay young longer (laughs). You should never waste time on this. Now when I have grown up, I also believe that it's better not to spend some money simultaneously, but better buy one thing later, but it would be a better one. And not like in childhood, when you buy a hundred pieces of some junk (laughs). Then you don’t wear any of what you bought. Now the process is way more conscious. - I will not say who, but one athlete told me that once while sorting through her wardrobe, she found several packed things because she bought them and then even forgot what she bought. Was it like that? - It happened a couple of times to me. Not exactly that same but still - I bought something and remembered about it but things were still packed and remained with the label because I had never put them on in my life. And I didn’t understand why I bought them at all. As a result, I gave it that stuff to my friends, because either it did not suit me, either my wardrobe. - You understand that competition in Russia is very difficult, are you ready to change citizenship? - I think not, because it kills a lot of time and ... This is such a difficult step, that is, if I were 15 or 18 at least - this is one thing, but at my age, I think if I understand that I don’t have the strength to compete anymore, to skate, then it would be easier to start some kind of business and to gradually enter a different industry, well, or just to skate in shows. - By the way, about other industry or shows. Would you like to start your own show or are you ready to take part in Averbukh, Rudkovskaya, Navka's shows? - I would like to participate in all kinds of shows at first, and I will not refuse, of course, any offers - I hope there will be some by the end of my career. And then, when I get an understanding of how this industry works, then, yes, maybe I’ll start my own show, but this is very unlikely, because you really need to do this by your own, have contacts, to live in it. This is a difficult and serious work. I don't know. Both options are possible (laughs). - Which show impressed you the most? - I actually didn’t see many fairytale shows, I usually watch the shows I take part in. But when I saw the last show of Navka, it impressed me. And I also really liked the Averbukh's show "Carmen". - Do you perform your 'Toxic' exhibition in shows? - I skated it last year on the show ... No, the year before last, it turns out ... No, last year. In 2019, yes. I already forgot what year it is now on quarantine (laughs). - 2020. And today is the 5th of May. - Yeah, that's fine, thank you (laughs). I performed that program only at one tour, I didn’t skate it in the second one because skaters usually change programs anyway. And if I do my own show, as it was on March 9th in Saint Petersburg, then, of course, I skate to this program. Many people remember it and I don’t want to keep this costume in the closet forever. But when you are invited as a star, you need to surprise people with something new. - If I don’t confuse anything, Alexey Nikolaevich was the initiator of that program. - Yes. I suggested music and an idea, and Alexei Nikolaevich proposed an idea to make the number more vivid and catchy. - Taking into account the removal of your blouse, did you get any offers from Playboy or other magazines? - No, I didn't, by the way (laughs). MAXIM quoted me a couple of times, but that was all. - I'm talking about professional photo shooting. That is, we can now say that Elizaveta Tuktamysheva is open to suggestions, and if a serious magazine is ready to organize a photoshoot? - I would agree. - Nothing is forbidden? - Well, for me it's beautiful. I follow the MAXIM magazine on Instagram, for example - for me it is beautiful. They show beautiful bodies, beautiful women. - For me, the main thing is not to be vulgar. - Yes, to do it beautifully, not in a vulgar way. For example, in some beautiful underwear. We are not saying that you must definitely get naked in front of the camera and here is your cover of the magazine. - You can make a remake of the picture from the back from your Instagram. - (Laughs) This is already too much for me. - So we work without repeats? - Yes (laughs). And that was only the first half of the interview..

Was it like that? - It happened a couple of times to me. Not exactly that same but still - I bought something and remembered about it but things were still packed and remained with the label because I had never put them on in my life. And I didn’t understand why I bought them at all. As a result, I gave it that stuff to my friends, because either it did not suit me, either my wardrobe. - You understand that competition in Russia is very difficult, are you ready to change citizenship? - I think not, because it kills a lot of time and ... This is such a difficult step, that is, if I were 15 or 18 at least - this is one thing, but at my age, I think if I understand that I don’t have the strength to compete anymore, to skate, then it would be easier to start some kind of business and to gradually enter a different industry, well, or just to skate in shows. - By the way, about other industry or shows. Would you like to start your own show or are you ready to take part in Averbukh, Rudkovskaya, Navka's shows? - I would like to participate in all kinds of shows at first, and I will not refuse, of course, any offers - I hope there will be some by the end of my career. And then, when I get an understanding of how this industry works, then, yes, maybe I’ll start my own show, but this is very unlikely, because you really need to do this by your own, have contacts, to live in it. This is a difficult and serious work. I don't know. Both options are possible (laughs). - Which show impressed you the most? - I actually didn’t see many fairytale shows, I usually watch the shows I take part in. But when I saw the last show of Navka, it impressed me. And I also really liked the Averbukh's show "Carmen". - Do you perform your 'Toxic' exhibition in shows? - I skated it last year on the show ... No, the year before last, it turns out ... No, last year. In 2019, yes. I already forgot what year it is now on quarantine (laughs). - 2020. And today is the 5th of May. - Yeah, that's fine, thank you (laughs). I performed that program only at one tour, I didn’t skate it in the second one because skaters usually change programs anyway. And if I do my own show, as it was on March 9th in Saint Petersburg, then, of course, I skate to this program. Many people remember it and I don’t want to keep this costume in the closet forever. But when you are invited as a star, you need to surprise people with something new. - If I don’t confuse anything, Alexey Nikolaevich was the initiator of that program. - Yes. I suggested music and an idea, and Alexei Nikolaevich proposed an idea to make the number more vivid and catchy. - Taking into account the removal of your blouse, did you get any offers from Playboy or other magazines? - No, I didn't, by the way (laughs). MAXIM quoted me a couple of times, but that was all. - I'm talking about professional photo shooting. That is, we can now say that Elizaveta Tuktamysheva is open to suggestions, and if a serious magazine is ready to organize a photoshoot? - I would agree. - Nothing is forbidden? - Well, for me it's beautiful. I follow the MAXIM magazine on Instagram, for example - for me it is beautiful. They show beautiful bodies, beautiful women. - For me, the main thing is not to be vulgar. - Yes, to do it beautifully, not in a vulgar way. For example, in some beautiful underwear. We are not saying that you must definitely get naked in front of the camera and here is your cover of the magazine. - You can make a remake of the picture from the back from your Instagram. - (Laughs) This is already too much for me. - So we work without repeats? - Yes (laughs). And that was only the first half of the interview.. Click to expand... she sounds so down to earth!!! I really enjoyed that interview! Reactions: paskatefan and skylark May 8, 2020 #4 Ka3sha Well-Known Member Messages 8,593 Part 2 - What do you read on self-isolation? - Now I'm reading 'Une vie' by Maupassant. One of Tolstoy’s favorite novels, at least that was written in the foreword. And I am studying in the university, so I have to write essays, my thesis, and there wasn’t much time for books. - Are you aware that Elena Vaytsekhovskaya has written a book about female figure skating? The book will be available right after quarantine. - Yes, I saw the advertisement, would be very interesting to read. - What do you expect from the book? - I don’t know, it seems to me that this will be such an action-packed book (laughs). In my opinion, it should be interesting. If there are good reviews, then I will buy it. Someone in my circle will definitely read it and then I will decide to read it or not. - You wanted to start your clothing line. - Yes. - Why all of a sudden? - I have been thinking about it for the whole season, in fact. It just took a very long time to figure out what I wanted, how I wanted, and it all somehow went very slowly. I don’t know why I decided to do so, I just wanted to have some other interest in life besides figure skating. - I have an idea! Do you know which footballer is a clothing designer by education? - I don’t know, maybe some Italian (laughs)? - No, no, no, he is practically your neighbor. - What are you doing? No, I do not know. - Andrey Sergeevich Arshavin. - Aah, wow! (laughs) - Can you imagine what a powerful collaboration could be - Arshavin from the 'Zenit' side, Tuktamyshev from the figure skating side and a combination of football and figure skating in some capsule casual collection. - This is a really cool idea actually (laughs). - It's yours. - Thank you, but for now I need to at least release my own line, and then we'll see. - What do you have in mind? - There will be a collection of comfortable clothes for everyday life, not just for sports and training. Casual style - hoodies, sweatshirts, pants. There is a lot of it already. In the future I'd like to start a brand for figure skating fans so that they could wear it for competitions or when they watch figure skating - just how football fans put on t-shirts and scarves. To do something like that for skaters, because, it seems to me, we don’t have one yet. - In my opinion, Zhenya Medvedev did something similar, no? - Yes, yes, Zhenya Medvedev also released her line, but she had hoodies with her images. She did it for her fans, I think. Actually, this is also a very good idea, and my first collection will also be somehow associated with me. - Have you already calculated if there is some profit? - Approximately. But this is not that much money, and I am doing this not for the sake of money. - Would you feel yourself comfortable on a commentary position in such clothes? - Yes, of course. - Did you immediately agree to it, when you were ask to commentate for the first time? - Immediately. And I really wanted to do commentary, thought about it for a month, probably. I got a burning desire right inside. And then they called me from Channel 1, and I just - yes! I was very pleased with this offer. - Do you like the style of Tatyana Anatolyevna Tarasova? - Sometimes yes, sometimes ... I know the world of figure skating, so sometimes it’s interesting to listen to her, it’s interesting what she will say. But sometimes, it seems to me, she goes too far. But in principle, if there is a choice, then I will most likely choose Tatyana Anatolyevna, because when you are not too interested in a skater, you can listen to what she says (laughs). - And what did you think about her emotional commenting on Zagitova and Medvedeva in Pyeongchang? - I watched the Olympics without commentary, not on the Russian channel. - As I understand it, you will for sure retire in 2 years? Or you will continue skating no matter what happens in Beijing? - Well, not for sure, but we'll see. I will definitely skate until the Olympics, and the I will look further at how my body will react. If my body tells me that I can skate for more - then why not, I will stay in sports. And after the retirement I will do some shows and learn something new. - What do you want to learn? - Just learn (laughs). - Well, I don’t know, apartment design, foreign languages, jurisprudence ... - By the way, yes, I wanted to start interior design courses, but well we have a quarantine now. It’s interesting to me - design, because I did the design of my apartment and enjoyed that process so much. I bought everything myself and imagined how it should look like. It is not yet fully completed, but in general I like it, and I would like to do something like that again. - You often write provocative posts on your social media, take the one about 9 months, for example. Those who follow you there understood that you were talking about braces, but those who rarely open your social networks got a completely different idea. Did you do it intentionally? - Well, not on purpose, it practically happened - I had braces for 9 months, that's why I wrote it. But sometimes I like to add some fire, of course, so that it would not be so boring during quarantine. - Well, not only during quarantine. I recall your the epochal battles with Spiridonov and Kafelnikov, and another epochal one with Anna Pogorilaya. Where did this come from? - Well, we didn’t have any battles with with Anya, there was a question and an answer, it wasn't even a dialogue. I simply answered on her incorrect statement in my address, and that was over. I tried do it for some time, but it brings a lot of negativity, so I like to play with the people a little bit (laughs). And then back to calmness again. - So this is your style for social media only? You are not serious? - These little things I post on social media, I’m exactly like that in life. That is, I’m trying to show people that Liza Tuktamysheva is not a simple and good girl, I want to show all of me. - Could Liza Tuktamysheva team up with someone? In ice dance or in pairs. - Why not, but it would make no sense. - And in theory - what would you chose - ice dance or pairs? - Pairs, because they can jump. In ice dance you need to have beautiful figure, long legs and to be a rather tall one, and I didn't quite succeed under these criteria (laughs). - Do sell yourself short! - Well, I'm still rather short for dancing. My height is very good for pair. Therefore, I'd choose pairs. - Who could be your perfect partner? Maybe Trankov? - Well, yes, maybe Trankov. With Trankov, we sometimes tried some easy lifts at the shows. Trankov is very good partner. - And a commentary duet with Max? - I really liked that. In general, I have good relationship with Max, and it was very comfortable and fun to work with him on a commentary position, because he is also not that simple. - At first we discussed figure skating with Max, and now we usually talk about our daughters. What do you think, what kind of mom could you be in the future? - Fair. - Will you pamper your children? - Of course. But still a fair one. - Surely you have thought about the future. Do you want a girl, a boy, twins? - It makes no difference to me at all. I just see myself as a mom, but I don’t know (laughs). It does not matter. - And what is the ideal man for Liza Tuktamysheva? - (Laughs) I don’t know, I didn’t have much experience in relationships, so I don’t know who is the ideal man for me. - Don't have much experience, and yet they have been discussing your break up for two months already. - Yes? I didn’t know that (laughs). - Such an enviable bride is free now. - Well, I do not know. - Well, to someone who wants to meet Liza. How to win your favor? - With humor, openness and love for music, books. That is, he should be with such a ... probably a subtle soul, but at the same time a bit weird (laughs). - What did Andrei (Lazukin) lack? - Andrei had everything, we remained friends, I still like him. It just happens, you have been in a relationship for a long time and then you just understood, that it’s not quite right for both of you. - Have you been together for five years? - Almost five years, yes. - Some people manage to get married for a couple of times, then divorce and find a new love interest in five years. And here you had stability. - There was stability, we were constantly together at training sessions, at training camps. It's like skating in pairs, it seems to me that when you skate in a couple, and people just start dating. It is normal that there is some attachment to a person. But it’s good that now we realized that we have to go further and not together. - Do you now regret that you ended up alone in quarantine? - No, this quarantine has opened my eyes to some things (laughs). - Next year St. Petersburg will become one of 12 capitals of the European Football Championship. Do you want to go to the stadium? - Yes, of course! I love when there's a full stadium, an interesting game. But unfortunately, if it scheduled for the summer, it isn't clear whether I will have time, whether I will be in St. Petersburg those days. Usually we have all summer camps scheduled, and I never had an opportunity to get to a single game during the 2018 World Cup. But I'd really want to go, of course. - Will Alexei Nikolaevich take his group to Italy again? - I am not sure, let's see what will happen. Maybe to Italy, maybe somewhere else, we will find a place. - Alexei Nikolaevich, who is he for you? Can you come to him, rest on his shoulder, cry? And he he'd say - Liz, how are you doing? - No, we still have this subordination between a coach and an athlete, but at the same time we have a very trusting and respectful relationship with each other. But to cry on his shoulder - no. I will never in my life allow myself to do this and will not go to anyone. - Well, you are not saying that you never cry, or? - Of course, I cry. But certainly not on Alexei Nikolaevich’s shoulder (laughs). - And on whose shoulder you are crying? - My own. - Only? And you are not sharing things with others, not asking for advices? - This rarely happens. - And why? Are there no such friends and close people, or is there no need for it? - There is no need, because only you truly know how to solve your own problem. And you will find a better answer when you are alone with yourself and your thoughts, when you can cry alone, rather than when you discuss it with your friends. It certainly won't become worse if you will cry alone. - How much freedom do you have in terms of money? - I am not as free as I would like, at least when I think about the future. In general, I have enough money for now. But considering my future life - family, children - I would like more, of course (laughs). - Well, maybe you will be lucky with a husband, who will earn a lot. - Maybe lucky, maybe not. It is better to rely only on your own strengths. - The ideal house of Liza Tuktamysheva - an apartment or a country house? - A country house, a log house, this style ... - Russian or Finnish style? - Finnish I'd say. That is, there should be a fireplace there, so that it would be cozy, family-like, and there should be a lake nearby where you could swim. Something like this.. Or it will be, for example, some small house in Italy or Spain (laughs). - Will there be a cat or a dog? - Dog, one hundred percent. - Which one? - Golden retriever. - The dogs are wonderful, and I strongly wish that this dream will come true. - Yes, I love them very much. - Imagine that quarantine ends tomorrow, borders are open, Liza runs to the Aeroflot website and buys a ticket to ... - To Bali (laughs). Just to Relax. - Swimming, surfing, seafood and not thinking about anything? - Yes! But it is unlikely, of course, to go on holiday this year. But if we are dreaming, then it would be Bali for at least a week. To change the reality I constantly exist in for some time, to relax my brain and body from sports and just to have a rest. - What is a perfect vacation for you? Just to do nothing and lie on the beach? - No, an ideal vacation would be like this - a good beach, warm water, tropics and also some regular travels around the island. To see some unexplored places, to search for some hidden places, to explore. I enjoy this so much. - These are like fragments of the movie "Beach" with Leonardo DiCaprio. - Maybe, yes (laughs). I have been to Thailand several times, for me Phuket is a place of power. - Now a blitz. Favorite music? - Classic old rock. Led Zeppelin, "Stairway to heaven". - Dima Guberniev will appreciate! Best actor? - James McAvoy. - Actress? - Meryl Streep. - A movie you are ready to watch every night? - "Eat Pray Love". - The concert that you have already been to and that made the greatest impression? - Scorpions. I really liked it. - And the best book and writer? - Remarque, "Three Comrades" - The best theater? - Mariinsky. - Your favorite performance at the Mariinsky Theater? - Ballet "Carmen". - And who was dancing, do you remember? - Diana Vishneva. - She, by the way, became the ambassador of the European Football Championship. If you are invited, will you agree? - Of course I'm ready! Last edited: May 8, 2020 Reactions: feraina, TAHbKA, Kasey and 16 others May 8, 2020 #5 AxelAnnie Like a small boat on the ocean...

Click to expand... To me it seems like it’s Konov’s style. He was a head of Rsport, worked on MatchTV and Channel 1 (not sure about his current position), he usually writes about sports in general, rarely about figure skating. And he does interviews only with people he finds interesting or he’s friends with (Trankov, Ilinykh in figure skating, for example). So his interviews are usually pretty long, informal, maybe even a bit frantic, seem more like dialogues between two friends. But my translation skills are also not on the highest level, so it could be the point, too Last edited: May 8, 2020 Reactions: paskatefan and AxelAnnie May 8, 2020 #7 caseyedwards Well-Known Member Messages 18,003 It’s true that liza could have a quad and triple axel and it still not be enough so why not change counties?!?

May 9, 2020 #8 S starrynight Well-Known Member Messages 3,091 I really liked Tutktamysheva's plans to make some clothing that is skating merchandise. So far Medvedeva is the only skater who has done this. Jackie Wong has those 'Rocker Skating' hoodies too. I am really surprised in the skating world that more skaters do not sell merchandise . Every YouTuber or podcaster etc seems to have a range of hoodies, t-shirts, mugs, pencil cases that they sell for extra money. I think that some skaters could do well if they commissioned some art work to be printed on shirts and hoodies for fans to wear. Last edited: May 9, 2020 Reactions: paskatefan May 9, 2020 #9 MacMadame Doing all the things Messages 49,838 In other sports and in music, selling "merch" is one of the prime ways to make money.

And back to Elizaveta: I've never been a fan of her skating, but I really love her personality. I loved this interview -- it's sort of off the wall and goes every which way, which to me is so interesting. And this: (answering the question, who would you be in the movies; i.e. a Bond girl?) "I often watch "Friends", this is my favorite series, and I imagined whom of these three women I could have been if I got invited, if I had such opportunity.

Reactions: skateboy and starrynight May 11, 2020 #17 Tinami Amori Well-Known Member Messages 20,157 Another interview from a celebrity skater, where I am more and more convinced that the desire for fame and medals is more about making money than about medals and placements. Or.... skaters think of medals as a venue for fame and money. Until as recent as 5-10 years ago it was "i need money to train to get medals/gold", now it is "i need medals/gold to get fame and money" (beyond "government stipend, car and apartment"). The hoopla with Ari Zakarian's ISU "popularity awards" is another proof of it. Skaters - your skating is no longer about athletics and art....... your skating is partially about "skating" but most of the money are to be made on sensationalism. Punch a fellow skater - and you're a celebrity and reach the public's eye, does not matter good or bad. Skaters will undress, say and do provocative things, start their own T-shirt and tea-cup lines, create conflicts with other celebrities... Who needs a talent, when you can break a guitar. Guitars for some are for "popularity and compensation for lack of talent" not "music talent". Also a simulation of a conalingus on a concert stage often worth more than using one's tongue to sing a talented song and/or talented music.

Messages 2,351 How did we get to body shaming?! I don't look at what kind of body type the skaters have, but how well they move across the ice and most importantly, their personalities on and off ice. There are a few skaters I cannot stand myself, but it has more to do with their whiny-poor-me attitude. You must log in or register to reply here.

How to Annoy Family: Drop 145 Pounds Enlarge this image toggle caption Karen Sachar Photography/Youth Radio Karen Sachar Photography/Youth Radio Until I turned 10, I was the scrawniest kid in my class. But a combination of my family's horrible eating habits and a lack of physical education during junior high school changed all that. My parents never made me feel bad about my increasing weight or suggested that I eat healthier. With my peers, it was a totally different story. Kids suddenly had a buffet of insults to use, and my lack of self-confidence made me more than willing to eat them up. When I stepped on the scale and saw that I was more than 300 pounds, I couldn't be angry at anyone but myself. And at that moment I decided that nothing was going to keep me stuck in that overweight body. At first, my mother was very supportive in helping me lose the weight the right way. But it seemed like the closer I got to my weight-loss goal, the more annoyed my family, including my mother, became with me. "What can you eat?" my mother and sister would say when I wouldn't touch the Chinese food we ordered every Friday. And when I hung out with my dad, right after he'd compliment me on how good I looked, he'd follow it up with a comment about how unlikely it was that I'd maintain these eating habits. Some people might feel it's perfectly reasonable for parents to worry about a child going through drastic weight loss. But I don't feel mine have the right to be concerned about my weight now, considering all the unhealthy habits they passed on to me as a child. I understand there were a lot of factors that went into the way we ate growing up. At times, we didn't have much food. So when your aunt shows up with three cheeseburger meals, you don't send her back for hummus. Even knowing this, it's still irritating that my family had nothing to say when I was on the verge of diabetes but is riding me now that I've worked so hard to be healthy. I have to admit, though, that their criticisms do help with my resolve. I'm not sure if I could have made it this far without them constantly teasing me. So I guess I should be thanking my family because there are those times when I'm by myself and could just go downstairs and pile a plate with a mountain of spaghetti covered in ranch dressing. It helps knowing that if I gain 5 pounds, even though the people who are outside my home won't notice, my family will. And they will comment on it. For now, that's one more reason for me to keep turning down that greasy Chinese food every Friday. Quincy Mosby is a regular contributor to Youth Radio.

Story highlights Person in protective suit and a dog investigated the unattended vehicle Traffic was diverted away from the famed Manhattan-to-Brooklyn corridor The vehicle had no plates, nor an identification number The New York Police Department gave an "all clear" Monday after an unattended, suspicious vehicle prompted authorities to shut the Brooklyn Bridge. The vehicle was found in the right lane of the Manhattan-bound side of the bridge, mid-span, a police spokesman said. Traffic was diverted, as video from CNN affiliate WABC showed police vehicles blocking access. Video also showed someone in a protective body suit combing through the vehicle. Afterward, an officer wearing no protective gear walked right up to it with a dog. The SUV had no plates, nor did it have a vehicle identification number, according to Christopher Miller, a spokesman with the New York City Office of Emergency Management.

Editor’s note: Each year, freshman find it a daunting task to search for more housing — given that a majority of them have never had to do it before. As part of a new project, The Daily Californian went out to find a few of these freshmen and plans to follow them and their housing journey for the next few years. Follow up in next year’s Housing Issue to see where they end up. Jessica Mendoza and Gianina Wicaksono: Unit 1 The Daily Californian: Why did you decide to live in Unit 1? Jessica Mendoza: We prioritized Unit 1 during the housing options — they just put us in Freeborn. Gianina Wicaksono: I guess we knew we wanted to live close to the campus, and we didn’t really care if it was Unit 1, Unit 2, Unit 3, but based on the website, it seemed like Unit 1 was closer, so we chose that. DC: You mentioned that your room used to be a laundry room. Is it different from living in another room? GW: Actually, on my first day, I came in and realized I had the blue door. … I looked at the other rooms, and the differences I noticed were that we have overhead lights. … (Other rooms) have extended ceilings … (and) closets from the edge of that door all the way to one side. … We don’t have that. JM: I just hang up my clothes on my bed, and that’s what functions as my closet. DC: What’s so different about having the blue door? JM: We have the only blue door, and the bathroom is another blue door, so (people) just storm in here and are like, ‘Oh, sorry!’ GW: Yeah. Our door is not locked — I think our door is the only door we can control whether we lock it or not. At night, sometimes we don’t lock our door, so in the middle of the night, we sometimes have someone just opening our door and say, ‘Oh, this is not the bathroom.’ JM: We put a sign out for a while, and we figured by this point, people have figured it out. But the day after we took the sign down, someone walked into our room again! Shannon Hong: Unit 2 DC: What’s your living situation right now? Shannon Hong: I didn’t request to be on an all-female floor, but I am on one. … I think it’s because I ended up putting in my housing application pretty late. It was, like, November of the fall semester, and then the person who was living here, she moved into a sorority house, but she also put that (request) in pretty late. This was probably the only place available. DC: We’re at the end of February, going into March. What’s housing look like for you? What are your plans? SH: It’s quite deathly. My best friend and I applied to housing from UC Berkeley, but we might not get that or any of the ones we’re interested in, (which are) Wada in Unit 2, Martinez Commons and then Channing-Bowditch. … But if we don’t get any of those, right now, we’re looking for apartments in the area, and it’s quite deathly — it’s awful. It’s such a time-consuming experience. Most of the places around campus have already been taken, and they have sub-optimal prices or sub-optimal accommodations. … I think our best bet is to find a senior, one of our friends, who’s moving out, and then we’ll replace them. DC: How much are you aware of the housing crisis? Is the housing process tough for you because it’s time-consuming as a student or because there are not enough houses available? SH: Perhaps I will come to realize there are not enough houses available, but for right now, it’s mostly, “Oh my God, why is this taking me so long?” I think that’s also a function of not having enough housing right now. Diego Orellana: Stebbins Hall DC: Why are you living at the co-ops as a freshman? Diego Orellana: I’m from Los Angeles and my parents have done a lot for me, and I try my best to help them save as much money as possible. That’s kind of why I chose Berkeley as this really amazing but public and cheap university. I actually have a lot of old friends from high school who end up here … and a lot of them live in the co-ops, so my friend (a junior), he told me about the co-ops and told me, “Hey, as soon as you get your application just sign up for the co-ops and make sure you sign up to be certified (Educational Opportunity Program) so that you can get up there on the waitlist,” and I did and I got offered a spot in Stebbins Hall. He was actually also living there that semester, and so I joined. It was a really amazing experience — I get to save a lot of money. As the only freshman (at Stebbins) in a community of much older, more mature, more knowledgeable, just wiser people who really know how to navigate Berkeley and the things that go on, it felt like a really welcoming, really amazing space to just grow and learn as a person. DC: Do you feel like you’re missing out on an experience because you’re the only freshman there and you aren’t living in a residence hall? DO: I’ve actually made quite a few freshmen friends just from clubs and classes and other things like that, so I don’t really miss out on the whole “having friends my age” aspect, which is really not an important thing. I definitely don’t regret joining the co-ops at all. I think the vibe is a lot better than what I’ve seen at the dorms. It seems much more crammed, much less friendly and much more separated to be in the dorms, and obviously I can’t speak from experience, but I really do enjoy my time in the co-ops. Inaara Charolia: Clark Kerr Campus DC: How do you like living at Clark Kerr? What’s your housing experience like right now? Inaara Charolia: I honestly love it. I think it’s perfect, and I’m really, really happy with both of my roommates. I know a lot of people complain that it’s really far, but I don’t think it’s really a problem with the walk — it’s not that long. Honestly, I just really like it, and I feel like the fact that there’s more space in Clark Kerr rooms than there are in the units definitely makes the whole living situation a lot easier and a lot less stressful. I’ve talked to people who live in the units, and they find it really stressful. DC: Housing searches are underway. What’s your housing plan looking like for next year? IC: We currently have me and one of my roommates and some floormates — four of us — and honestly, we’re still searching and still trying to find a place, because it is pretty hard to get something this early. But we’re trying. DC: Do you have any advice or do you have any questions about the housing situation (in Berkeley) as it stands? IC: It’d be nice to get to know more reliable resources online to look for apartments or if there was more of a list or resource to use from campus that I could trust. I know there is one website through campus that does that, but I haven’t taken a look at it. (If there were) a list of all sites the university has confirmed, that’d be interesting and a lot more helpful because I know I’ve talked to people who have gotten scammed off Craigslist. … Make sure you have a good group of people that you know you want to live with toward the end of winter break because as long as you know who you want to live with figured out, I think you can all work together. Contact Alexandra Yoon-Hendricks and Gibson Chu at [email protected]. Correction(s): A previous version of this article incorrectly stated that Jessica Mendoza and Gianina Wicaksono live in Unit 2’s Davidson Hall. In fact, they live in Unit 1’s Freeborn Hall.

Breathe easy, “Bughead” fans: There’s no chance Riverdale‘s Betty is about to ditch Jughead for her old love Archie — at least not according to Lili Reinhart. “I don’t think Betty has feelings for Archie anymore,” the actress tells TVLine. “I think that’s over and done with. She’s in love with Jughead, and is happy being with him.” She doesn’t rule out any feelings on Archie’s side, though — especially after that lingering look he gave Betty in last season’s finale. Reinhart chalks that look up to “wanting something that you can’t have… I definitely think Archie has some commitment issues. He has a wandering eye, you know?” There’s “a deep love” between Betty and Archie, she admits, but “I just don’t necessarily think it’s romantic.” As for Betty and Jughead, Reinhart insists they’re still a “solid duo” in Season 2, despite all the challenges thrown their way, from Jughead’s new Southside Serpent status to the strong objections from Betty’s mom Alice. Reinhart points to Betty blackmailing Cheryl into defending Jughead’s dad in court as a sign of “Bughead’s” resilience: “[She] did what she had to do for her man, you know? I think Betty’s willing to put herself out on a limb, and put herself in some uncomfortable situations, in order to show her support for him.” So was that bit of “fun girl talk” between Betty and Cheryl a sign that “Dark Betty” is back? Reinhart doesn’t think so: “It’s not really ‘Dark Betty.’ It’s more of just like ‘Assertive Betty’… She needs to put on her boss-ass woman pants and step into the role of being a strong and assertive woman. She’s a warrior for her friends.” But that doesn’t mean we won’t get an encore appearance this season from “Dark Betty”… or her signature jet-black wig. “You may see it again,” Reinhart says with a laugh. “I think she still has it in the back of her closet somewhere.” Speaking of closets: There’s a big old skeleton hanging in Alice’s, in the form of Chic — Betty’s long-lost brother that Alice gave up for adoption years ago. We know Hart Denton (seen at right) is joining the cast later this season as Chic, and Reinhart hints that Chic’s arrival “definitely has a strong impact on the Cooper family,” adding that it “causes some drastic changes in dynamics within the Cooper family itself.” Meanwhile, there’s a serial killer on the loose, making Season 2 feel like a horror movie at times — and Reinhart says that’s by design. “We’re treating this season very much like a dark thriller,” she says. “Even when we’re all having conversations as a friend group in the student lounge, or at Pop’s, there’s kind of an air of doom and gloom hanging over our heads.” She’s not too worried about Betty being the Black Hood’s next victim, though: “I think Betty’s safe. But you never know. Something could happen to any of us.” Ratings for Riverdale (airing Wednesdays at 8/7c on The CW) are through the roof — the Season 2 premiere doubled last season’s average — and Reinhart credits that to people discovering the show on Netflix: “The minute we went on Netflix, things kind of changed for us.” She and the rest of the cast are “thrilled” at the fan response, she adds: “It’s exciting that people are so invested in the show that they don’t even want to wait until it’s on Netflix. They’re actually watching live TV!” OK, Riverdale fans: Do you still think a Betty/Archie romance is a possibility? Cast your vote in the comments.

Bitcoin (BTC) users are complaining of slow and expensive transactions as a 50 percent loss of hash rate brings the network to a standstill. Data from Blockchain.info flagged by trader SatoSqueeze shows a halving of BTC hash rate from 8,000 to 4,000 petahash in just four days. “That explains most of the unconfirmed transactions,” the user adds. #Bitcoin hashrate dropped 50%+ from 8,000 Petahash to 4,000 Petahash in the past 5 days. That explains most of the unconfirmed transactions pic.twitter.com/sxOBlmiHJp — SatoSqueeze (@cryptoSqueeze) August 23, 2017 Multiple reports of BTC transactions taking hours or days to confirm are surfacing on social media. The pattern is reminiscent of the network congestion of previous months when Bitcoin’s mempool expanded to record highs. This time, however, the delays are due to lack of power in the face of competition from Bitcoin Cash (BCH), which is luring miners with significantly greater rewards. Commentators have criticized BCH for undermining the BTC network in an issue which continues to present intense debate. BTC is finding 4 blocks an hour. #BitcoinCash is finding 43 blocks an hour. Satoshi was right. Miners will mine the more profitable chain. — Michael Matthews (@mikerelentless) August 22, 2017 The latest problems for BTC are translating into higher fees as well as waiting times for users meanwhile, with the most recent recommended fee rate from 21.co at 450 satoshis per byte. This rate is four times higher than the recommended rate just weeks ago and matches that at the height of the mempool crisis in May and June.

At a press conference on Wednesday, Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake announced that she has asked the Department of Justice to investigate the city’s police force for the practices of excessive use of force and civil rights violations. Rawlings-Blake said that she sees this investigation as an “essential” part of the process to “reform serious patterns and practices of excessive force, biased policing, and other unconstitutional practices by law enforcement.” [pull_quote_center]”Throughout my administration, we have taken a number of steps to change the culture and practices of the Baltimore Police Department,” Rawlings-Blake said. “Despite this progress, we all know that Baltimore continues to have a fractured relationship between the police and the community.”[/pull_quote_center] This investigation will be in addition to the current investigation the FBI and DOJ are conducting, regarding civil rights violations in the death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray, who died from a severe spinal injury, while in police custody. Gray’s unexplained death on April 19 was followed by days of peaceful protests, before riots broke out on April 27 prompting Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan to declare a state of emergency, call in the National Guard, and enforce a 10 p.m. curfew. The curfew was lifted on Sunday, following Baltimore State’s attorney Marilyn Mosby’s announcement on Friday that Gray’s death has been ruled a homicide, and that six officers will face charges. Rawlings-Blake also said that officers in the Baltimore City Police Department will have body cameras by the end of the year. “I believe we need the assistance of the Department of Justice and civil rights investigation to shore up that foundation that is weak in our city,” Rawlings-Blake said. “At the end of this process, I will hold those accountable, if change is not made.” Rawlings-Blake’s announcement comes after a meeting with Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who visited the city of Baltimore on Tuesday. The Associated Press noted that Lynch pledged to improve the city’s police department after meeting with Freddie Gray’s family. “This is a flashpoint situation,” Lynch said. “We lost a young man’s life and it begins to represent so many things.“

Deluxe 2xLP version comes in a gatefold jacket. LPs are pressed on virgin vinyl and housed in artworked inner sleeves with free download coupon. CD version in 4-panel mini-LP style gatefold package with CD in a fully artworked inner sleeve. Limited clear w/ pink & yellow hi-melt vinyl now available. Watch the unboxing video here. Over the course of its two-decade existence, Lightning Bolt has revolutionized underground rock in immeasurable ways. The duo broke the barrier between stage and audience by setting themselves up on the floor in the midst of the crowd. Their momentous live performances and the mania they inspired paved the way for similar tactics used by Dan Deacon and literally hundreds of others. Similarly, the band’s recordings have always been chaotic, roaring, blown out documents that sound like they could destroy even the toughest set of speakers. Fantasy Empire, Lightning Bolt’s sixth album and first in five years, is a fresh take from a band intent on pushing themselves musically and sonically while maintaining the aesthetic that has defined not only them, but an entire generation of noisemakers. It marks many firsts, most notably their first recordings made using hi-fi recording equipment at the famed Machines With Magnets, and their first album for Thrill Jockey. More than any previous album, Fantasy Empire sounds like drummer Brian Chippendale and bassist Brian Gibson are playing just a few feet away, using the clarity afforded by the studio to amplify the intensity they project. Every frantic drum hit, every fuzzed-out riff, sounds more present and tangible than ever before. Fantasy Empire is ferocious, consuming, and is a more accurate translation of their live experience. It also shows Lightning Bolt embracing new ways to make their music even stranger. More than any previous record, Chippendale and Gibson make use of live loops and complete separation of the instruments during recording to maximize the sonic pandemonium and power. Gibson worked with Machines very carefully to get a clear yet still distorted and intense bass sound, allowing listeners to truly absorb the detail and dynamic range he displays, from the heaviest thud to the subtle melodic embellishments. Some of these songs have been in the band’s live repertoire since as early as 2010, and have been refined in front of audiences for maximum impact. This is heavy, turbulent music, but it is executed with the precision of musicians that have spent years learning how to create impactful noise through the use of dynamics, melody, and rhythm. Fantasy Empire has been in gestation for four years, with some songs having been recorded on lo-fi equipment before ultimately being scrapped. Since Earthly Delights was released, the band has collaborated with The Flaming Lips multiple times, and continued to tour relentlessly. 2013 saw the release of All My Relations by Black Pus, Chippendale’s solo outlet, which was followed by a split LP with Oozing Wound. Chippendale, an accomplished comic artist and illustrator, created the Fantasy Empire’s subtly ominous album art, and will release an upcoming book of his comics through respected imprint Drawn and Quarterly. Brian Gibson has been developing the new video game Thumper, with his own company, Drool, which will be released next year. And, of course, Lightning Bolt will be touring the US in 2015.

Tantric, a case modder from Manila, Philippines, built a Gundam inspired PC for his latest project. After gutting the chassis, he built a hinge mechanism on which two ‘wings’ were attached to evoke the Gundam aesthetic and function as side panels for access to the guts. Most impressive about the build is the skill that went into creating its custom components. Tantic did no small amount of drilling, grinding, and cutting to construct the RX-0, and the precision on display in the final product speaks for itself. The side panels were made using a few layers of laser cut acrylic sheets and then decorated with some beautiful custom Gundam decals. When pulled forward, they give the PC a battle-ready look, as if it’s about to take off and kick some mech ass. Problem: I don’t think a person can fit inside and I don’t think Project RX-0 can fly. I hope I’m wrong. Project RX-0 is my favorite kind of case mod. It’s an artistic challenge that attempts (and succeeds) to evoke an aesthetic rather than imitate; instead of building a Gundam robot and putting a computer inside, Tantric pulled from familiar Gundam imagery, used a wide array of modding expertise to craft custom components, and built case that’s both functional and gorgeous. The result is a PC that looks amazing whether or not you’re familiar with its inspiration, but for Gundam fans, Project RX-0 is especially cool. If only there was a massive robot sword and/or canon hid in there somewhere. See more photos and commentary in the build log or keep up with future projects on Tantric’s Facebook page. Congratulations, Tantric. The build looks great.

It is clear that we are in an ongoing moment right now. On Monday, we had another accusation against Al Franken in the morning, the Glenn Thrush episode at midday, and the Charlie Rose re-enactment of Caligula at dinnertime. For an aperitif, we had a BuzzFeed scoop about how one of the congressmen who had reached a private sexual-harassment settlement was John Conyers, Democrat of Michigan, and, while the details did not reach Charlie Rose-levels of offense, the supporting affidavits in the Conyers case were bad enough. Two staffers alleged in their signed affidavits that Conyers used congressional resources to fly in women they believed he was having affairs with. Another said she was tasked with driving women to and from Conyers’ apartment and hotel rooms. However, buried deep within the BuzzFeed story was this curious passage. The documents were first provided to BuzzFeed News by Mike Cernovich, the men's rights figure turned pro-Trump media activist who propagated a number of false conspiracy theories including the “Pizzagate” conspiracy. Cernovich said he gave the documents to BuzzFeed News for vetting and further reporting, and because he said if he published them himself, Democrats and congressional leaders would “try to discredit the story by attacking the messenger.” He provided them without conditions. BuzzFeed News independently confirmed the authenticity of the documents with four people directly involved with the case, including the accuser. If BuzzFeed is doing business with Cernovich, no matter how thoroughly and independently they vetted the information he provided them, the reader needs to know that right up front. Put this together with the fact that ur-ratfcker Roger Stone apparently knew that the Franken accusations were coming, and the fact that a charge was lodged against Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal by someone who did not really exist, and it becomes clear that there are two important stories going on here that need covering. Getty Images The first, and most important, of course, is the story about sexual harassment (and worse) on the part of this ever-expanding list of powerful men in the media and in politics and in entertainment and in god-knows-where-else. There are brave women coming forward to talk about it for the first time, and there are (finally) reporters and publications willing to hear and transmit their stories. It hardly needs to be said that this is all to the good. However, there also is a story in how this moment in time is being weaponized for partisan political purposes. And here we find journalism in the same bind it was in during the 1990s. There were two stories then, too. One was the years-long campaign to destroy Bill Clinton and his administration by any means necessary. The other was the investigation by special counsel Kenneth Starr. Starr’s investigation was a sieve. However, if you tried to cover Story A, the sub rosa pursuit of the president, you could not cover Story B, the investigation, which was unquestionably transformed into the bigger story, because the tap would be shut off, Starr’s investigators being at the time hand-in-glove with the “elves” working to bring down the president. It was an impossible dilemma in many newsrooms. Kenneth Starr Getty Images I think I’m seeing this history repeat itself. You’d have to be a fool to think that people like Cernovich and Stone would hand over documents similar to the ones they handed over regarding Conyers about any Republican member of congress, and surely there are more than a few. But, if you cover how these guys are doling out the information on one of the biggest stories of the year, you wind up being cut off. On the electric Twitter machine Tuesday morning, Jake Tapper of CNN made a proposal that would solve the whole matter: the Congress should nullify the non-disclosure agreements that were attached to all those settlements. That would enable reporters to chase leads that didn’t come from a nest of pit vipers, and it simultaneously would limit the influence that Cernovich and Stone have over the coverage of an important story that deserves so much more than the likes of them.

Even before the announcement and introduction of the Raspberry Pi 3, word of a few very powerful single board ARM Linux computers was flowing out of China. The hardware was there – powerful 64-bit ARM chips were available, all that was needed was a few engineers to put these chips on a board, a few marketing people, and a contract manufacturer. One of the first of these 64-bit boards is the Pine64. Introduced to the world through a Kickstarter that netted $1.7 Million USD from 36,000 backers, the Pine64 is already extremely popular. The boards are beginning to land on the doorsteps and mailboxes of backers, and the initial impressions are showing up in the official forums and Kickstarter campaign comments. I pledged $15 USD to the Pine64 Kickstarter, and received a board with 512MB of RAM, 4K HDMI, 10/100 Ethernet and a 1.2 GHz ARM Cortex A53 CPU in return. This post is not a review, as I can’t fully document the Pine64 experience. My initial impression? This is bad. This is pretty bad. Hardware This un-review covers the least expensive Pine64, featuring a 1.2 GHz Allwinner A64, 512MB of RAM, Ethernet, HDMI, and two USB ports. This is the reward for pledging $15 to the Pine64 Kickstarter campaign. According to the Kickstarter campaign, this board should have shipped in February. It arrived on April 13th. That’s surprisingly fast for a Kickstarter campaign, and not at all a knock at the Pine team. Right now, the Pine64 is available for preorder in three configurations. The lowest tier, the one being reviewed here, is $15 USD with worldwide shipping. The Pine64+ includes 1GB of RAM, Gigabit Ethernet, and connectors for a camera, LCD, and a touch panel. This version costs $19 USD, plus $7 shipping to the US, $12 for the rest of the world. The top-tier Pine64+ 2GB includes 2GB of RAM, priced at $29, plus $7 shipping to the US, $12 for the rest of the world. Although this is a little esoteric for a hardware un-review, I would like to mention the mechanical layout of the Pine64. It’s huge. It’s just a hair larger than 3″ x 5″, more exactly 127mm x 79mm. This is significantly larger than the current crop of Raspberry Pis and the Odroid C2. There’s a lot of space on the Pine64, and the headers, ports, and plugs take full advantage of this fact. Power, Ethernet, and HDMI are all on one side of the board, USB and the 3.5mm mic and headphone jack are opposite, the SD card is along the side. There’s a DSI header to connect a touch sensitive LCD, but the connector for the touch panel is on the other side of the board. Concerning the specific Pine shipped to me, I would have to rate the assembly as somewhat lackluster. The board itself is bent in the middle, with a visible gap between the board and spacer of the pin headers. It’s difficult to photograph, but you can see it plain as day. If I were grading Pine’s QA, this would be a solid D – the board works, but I’m surprised that it does. The hardware is pretty much what you would expect from a 64-bit ARM board. The quad-core ARM A53 Allwinner CPU is effectively the same CPU that is found in the Raspberry Pi 3. The GPU, however, is entirely different. The SoC unfortunately features a Mali 400-MP2 graphics processor, a GPU that isn’t well supported and lags behind the efforts to open source the Broadcom VideoCore IV found in the Raspberry Pi. To be fair, GPU support on single board Linux computers is almost always terrible; the Mali 400 is just slightly more terrible than any other option. As far as software is concerned. there are a number of distributions available on the Pine64 wiki, including Ubuntu, Arch, and Android images. Getting Started If you buy a printer, you’re not getting a CD full of software. If you buy a laptop, all the recovery software will only be available either through a download or on a recovery partition. No one ships software anymore and Pine64 is no exception. You get your SD card images directly from the Pine64 wiki, with Ubuntu, Arch, and Android Lollipop distros available. There’s one problem here – Pine64 isn’t using their own hosting, and have instead relied on Google Drive and Torrents to distribute their software images to everyone. The Ubuntu image is 7 Gigabytes, and as I’m writing this paragraph, it’s downloading at about two megabits per second. You can do the math for that. At least they offer a few torrents for SD card images. I suspect those torrents will be faster once Pine64s ship out to backers and the number of seeders increases. With the image in hand, you would expect writing an image to a microSD card to be exactly the same as a Raspberry Pi or any other single board computer – use Win32DiskImager or dd and write the image to a card. This is not true for all distributions. According to the Pine wiki and forums, the recommended software to burn an image to an SD card is PhoenixCard, a piece of software developed by Allwinner that writes disk images to SD cards. It may start up with a Chinese UI, and according to community member [Michael Larson] fails one in every fifteen times at writing an image to an SD card. With a somewhat reliable way to write a software image to the SD card, you would think booting the Pine64 would be easy. Not so. At the time of this writing (and with multiple attempts), several of the distribution images simply don’t work. The Android distro did not boot on my machine, the Arch distribution did not work. The Ubuntu image worked, but this was an effort by community member [Michael Larson]: The Ubuntu experience was tremendously slow on the Pine64 and I suffered several reboots. As of this writing, I have tested all of the software distributions on the Pine64 wiki. Only the Ubuntu distribution works poorly, and right now I consider the Pine64 to be a waste of $15. This will hopefully change in the near future, and I will gladly write a new review when I can boot the Pine. Peripherals and Expansion One of the biggest draws of a Linux single board computer is a plethora of pins and GPIOs and peripherals. The Pine64 has plenty of pins, including a 40-pin header based on the Raspberry Pi’s expansion port. This is awesome – there are hundreds of ‘hats’ available for the Pi, and although many of them are built around the Pi’s particular SoC, having the artificial Pi standard available on the Pine is great. There are other ports and headers, including a 34-pin Euler Bus. What’s a Euler Bus? This is the most information you will find on the Euler Bus, linking to (again) Google docs. There’s an IR receiver in there, headphone out, UARTs, SPIs, and even I2C. Not bad. Conclusion I have one of the first thousand Pine64s in the world. Every ARM/Linux single board computer is built on the efforts of the community around the board, and the Pine64 is no exception. The efforts of Linux hackers like [Michael Larson] have turned the Pine64 from something that rolled out of a reflow oven into a somewhat useful board. However, Pine, or the people behind Pine, have not held up their end of the bargain. It’s relatively easy to pick up a few thousand ARM chips, hire an EE for a month or two to produce a single board computer, and find a contract manufacturer in China. The hard part is getting the software working, getting the documentation together, and fostering a community that isn’t stumbling in the dark trying to get this board to work. This is where the Pine64 fails. The forums are a mess right now, and the comments on the Kickstarter campaign aren’t much better. The software support and documentation is so sparse, I literally can not get into a Linux terminal. With a day sunk into setting up the Pine, I only have a picture of a Pirates of the Caribbean desktop that came on a distribution produced by someone completely unrelated to the Pine team. This isn’t just me, either; a few of the Hackaday Overlord devs gave the Pine a shot, too. The results were inconclusive. This is not a review of the Pine64, because a proper review would look at the hardware and software, do a few benchmarks, blink a few LEDs, and maybe try to get a Dreamcast emulator working. I am unable to do this. In turn, this turned into a review of the people behind the Pine. The Raspberry Pi Foundation has shown that you can rely on the community and user forums for a great deal of support, but you need to bring a bit more to the table than a board whipped up by a contract manufacturer. I do not have a working OS on the Pine64, and the Pine team has not managed to meet my minimum expectations.

Simon Pegg has landed a role in the hit animated children’s show Phineas and Ferb. Advertisement The Shaun of the Dead star was approached by P&F’s producers after he tweeted “We’ve all got a platypus controlling us!” in reference to one of the show’s central characters, Perry the platypus. Discussing the incident, Pegg said: “Recently, I tweeted a line from one of the songs featured in Phineas and Ferb – and a couple of weeks later I was asked to come and record some voice parts for the series… I couldn’t say ‘yes!’ quick enough!” Pegg will be playing Paul, a deliveryman who will feature in the episode Delivery of Destiny, which will premiere on Disney XD UK in spring 2013. The 42-year-old actor and comedian also revealed that Phineas and Ferb is one of his daughter’s favourite programmes and said that the show is an everyday TV fixture in the Pegg household. “I’m a massive fan of Phineas and Ferb, my daughter and I fell in love with it immediately and we watch episode after episode as part of our morning routine,” he said. “I can rewind sections up to 16 times just to watch her laugh and laugh and laugh. It is truly joyous. Recording the characters has been a blast. Phineas and Ferb is smart, energetic and above all, incredibly funny. I can’t wait to see my daughter’s reaction to watching her dad in our favourite show.” The Disney Channel recently ordered a fourth series of Phineas and Ferb, and a P&F feature film is also currently in development.

A little girl with a 3-D printed hand is trying to break a record for the most ceremonial first pitches, and Major League Baseball teams are lining up to help. According to The Bleacher Report, Hailey Dawson, 7, was born without three fingers on her throwing hand and uses a 3-D printed hand to play her favorite sport. Dawson is hoping to someday set a Guinness World Record by throwing out the most ceremonial first pitches at major league stadiums. The University of Las Vegas engineering department designed the hand in 2014, which they’ve named the Flexy Hand 2. According to the school, it’s held together with fishing line and Dawson controls the fingers with the muscles in her wrist. She needs a new one every year as she grows. In her quest to throw as many first pitches as possible, Dawson has already knocked the Washington Nationals and Baltimore Orioles off her list.

is interpretation of the news based on evidence, including data, as well as anticipating how events might unfold based on past events Analysis is interpretation of the news based on evidence, including data, as well as anticipating how events might unfold based on past events Brianna Wu, a video game developer seeking a congressional seat in Massachusetts, is a Democrat and a fierce critic of President Trump. But her personal experience with doxxing puts her on the side of Trump donors. (Photo by Shannon Grant/handout) Brianna Wu felt so aggrieved by President Trump's victory in November that on Inauguration Day she launched a 2018 congressional campaign in Massachusetts' 8th District. “If this were just another Republican president, someone like Mitt Romney or John McCain, I'd take the loss in stride,” the 39-year-old video game developer “If this were just another Republican president, someone like Mitt Romney or John McCain, I'd take the loss in stride,” the 39-year-old video game developer wrote in blog post announcing her candidacy. “But we all know the truth: Donald Trump represents a unique threat to the American system.” Now, however, Wu — who is challenging incumbent Democrat Stephen Lynch — is defending the donors whose money helped put that “unique threat” in the White House. Since December 2015, the automated Twitter account @EveryTrumpDonor has been tweeting, one by one, the names, hometowns, occupations and employers of people who contributed as little as $200 to Trump's campaign. Each tweet follows the same formula: “I'm [name]. On [date] I gave $[donation] to @realDonaldTrump. I work as a [job] at [company]." Donors' personal information is publicly available from the Federal Election Commission. Journalists often use the FEC database to identify high-dollar donors and to spot trends — a gusher of cash from Wall Street bankers flowing to one candidate, for example. But it is unusual to call attention to random individuals who are not political power players. The @EveryTrumpDonor Twitter account caught the attention of former FEC chairman Michael Toner this week. Wu thinks the intent is obvious. She is calling for Twitter to suspend the account. Twitter declined to comment. “It is very clearly doxxing and harassing small-dollar donors,” Wu said in an interview. The term “doxxing” refers to a kind of online harassment in which personal information is posted to encourage and facilitate threatening activity. Wu knows plenty about doxxing. In 2014, she was targeted by a group called Gamergate that sought to terrorize female video game developers. (I covered her ordeal The term “doxxing” refers to a kind of online harassment in which personal information is posted to encourage and facilitate threatening activity. Wu knows plenty about doxxing.

(I covered her ordeal in the Boston Globe at the time.) “I would have people telling me they were waiting in the bushes outside my house to stick a drill in my neck,” Wu recalled. “They found information about me in public databases and used it to intimidate me. That same playbook is what's happening to Trump voters here.” The creator of the Twitter account, a Chicago software engineer named Adam Kraft, defended his project as “valuable for a number of reasons.” He said it makes campaign financing more transparent and noted that he posts “just straight-up facts sourced from the FEC.” Publicizing the names of Trump donors helps counter the billionaire's misleading claim that he self-financed his primary campaign, Kraft added, and could even improve perceptions of Trump backers. “Some people say that Trump supporters are stupid and uneducated,” Kraft said. “However, according to the bot’s tweets, many of them are doctors, lawyers, and even NASA engineers.” Kraft did program a parallel Twitter account, @EveryDemDonor, that posted personal information of contributors to Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders.

In one high-profile episode this week, a Republican student group at the University of California at Berkeley was unable to host pro-Trump conservative commentator Ann Coulter , due to the threat of a violent protest. “There's a real sense — that we have to get past on the left — that every person who voted for Trump is evil,” Wu said. “I'm in District 8 in Massachusetts, and I talk to Trump voters all the time. And the truth is many of them have very legitimate frustrations with the American government. They feel like Congress is no longer representing them. They see the American Dream slipping away from them. “I don't hear racist concerns; what I hear most of all are economic concerns. And I don't think it helps the left to bully people when they have donated money to Trump.”

— Two years ago on a darkened stretch of South Jersey highway, Clayton Tanksley was almost killed when his SUV was rammed from behind and sent tumbling to the side of the road — by a man who doesn’t exist. "He hit me hard enough to crush the back of the car like an accordion," said Tanksley, 46. "It was like a shark attack. It’s so sudden, out of the blue." The accident, on Route 295 in Camden County, left Tanksley with a demolished car, back problems and recurring flashbacks. "In the middle of night, everything is calm and peaceful," Tanksley said. "And then you live through it again. Even the smells." According to the State Police crash report, a man named William Gillespie was behind the wheel of the other car that night. As Tanksley’s medical bills from the crash neared $30,000, his lawyer filed a lawsuit against Gillespie. But when it came time to serve him, Gillespie was nowhere to be found. A private investigator couldn’t find Gillespie at the home or business listed on the State Police report of the accident, and the insurance company named did not recognize the information about his car. It was as if Gillespie didn’t exist, and for good reason — he doesn’t. Through a series of interviews and a trail of documents, The Star-Ledger has learned that Gillespie is the undercover name for State Police Detective Sgt. William Billingham and that his true identity was withheld from Tanksley — in violation of State Police policy — leaving Tanksley and his lawyer to go on a prolonged wild goose chase for a phantom. The newspaper also found that Billingham’s fellow troopers provided Tanksley’s insurance company with fictional and incomplete information. In fact, Tanksley — an actor who has appeared in movies and on television in "The Cosby Show" under the name Clayton Prince — had no idea who really hit him until The Star-Ledger tracked him to his Philadelphia home in April. Tanksley’s lawyers are considering a lawsuit against the state claiming his civil rights were violated. "It looks like a cover-up," attorney Charles Nugent said. "There’s no innocent explanation for it, as far as I’m concerned." Questioned outside his South Jersey home Saturday, Billingham would say only that his lawyer had instructed him not to comment on the case. IN THE DARK While Billingham’s identity was a secret to the man he could have killed, memos between ranking State Police officers show that trooper brass were well-informed about the crash. So were prosecutors: Billingham, an 18-year veteran of the division, has been the subject of internal and criminal investigations into the accident, but they have inched their way through the legal system. He eventually was suspended without pay and charged with assault by auto on March 4 — two years after the crash — and prosecutors say there’s evidence he was drunk behind the wheel. His lawyer, Steven Secare, declined to comment on the allegations except to say Billingham is pleading not guilty. Tanksley and his lawyers were unaware of any inquiry until they were told by The Star-Ledger . "No one told me there was any investigation," he said. Two sources said state investigators are also probing the way troopers responded to the predawn crash, starting with the undercover name on the crash report, obtained by the newspaper. The troopers wrote in their report that Billingham, 51, was not tested for alcohol. There were no charges filed or tickets issued, according to the report and motor vehicle records. Details of the accident — including that Billingham was off-duty and driving an unmarked troop car — were forwarded to superior officers, including State Police Superintendent Rick Fuentes. But sources said the accident might never have been examined if not for an anonymous letter alerting the Attorney General’s Office to the conduct of Billingham and the other troopers who protected him. The criminal case against Billingham is now being handled by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office, but it didn’t arrive there until almost a year after the crash. (Camden County authorities passed on the case to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest because Billingham’s brother is the sheriff there.) It was another year before Billingham was charged. By that time, the statute of limitations rendered it too late to file a charge of driving under the influence. The State Police say they will not comment because the case is still under investigation. Pressed by The Star-Ledger , spokesman acting Maj. Gerald Lewis said, "We’re going to try and rectify this and figure out exactly what happened." THE CRASH The night was clear and the road was dry as Tanksley drove south on Route 295 at 2:23 a.m. on March 22, 2009. He doesn’t recall any headlights behind him. Suddenly, he said, there was a screech and another car slammed into the back of his SUV. The rear axle snapped and his vehicle rolled over, coming to rest upside-down on the highway. "Thank God for my seat belt," Tanksley said. "I was dangling like a puppet." The crash was so bad the State Police dispatched its fatal accident unit to the scene. The Department of Transportation shut down all three southbound lanes and nearby towns sent emergency services. Tanksley was concerned for another reason — he had a pistol locked in a box in the back of his SUV, and the crash had thrown it loose. He said he placed the firearm in his glove compartment and told a trooper about it. Tanksley said the .32-caliber pistol was legally purchased in Pennsylvania, where he has a carry permit, but not registered in New Jersey, which has much stricter gun laws. He said the trooper told him not to worry. Tanksley, cut and bruised, was placed in an ambulance. But suddenly the trooper ran up to him. "He said the other guy is hurt worse than you, get out," Tanksley recalled. He caught a glimpse of the other driver, who suffered six broken ribs, before the ambulance sped away to Cooper University Hospital in Camden. At this point, Tanksley had no idea who hit him. And he wasn’t going to learn that from the official crash report. Troopers wrote down the undercover information for Billingham, including a false name, address and company. Three sources with knowledge of State Police procedures said troopers working undercover are issued fake identification cards but are supposed to use them only to protect an investigation. Once it is clear that an investigation won’t be jeopardized, troopers are supposed to correct the record, they said. (The sources requested anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation.) A trooper wrote in the crash report that Billingham "apparently fell asleep," which was echoed word for word by a statement Billingham signed. There’s no description of how fast he was driving. At the top of the report obtained by the newspaper, a trooper indicated the full document was three pages long. But when Tanksley’s insurance company received a copy, it had been modified to say it was only two pages. That copy did not include the diagram of the accident — which correctly identified Gillespie as Billingham. (Both reports were obtained by The Star-Ledger .) The report was sent to the insurance company not from State Police division headquarters in Ewing but the trooper station in Bellmawr. "I’ve never seen that happen before," said Jeffrey Pooner, a lawyer who is also representing Tanksley. "It just smells real bad." PAPER TRAIL Meanwhile, there was a very different paper trail inside the State Police. Three weeks after the accident, superior officers circulated a memo outlining details of the incident, although alcohol wasn’t mentioned. The memo, dated April 10, 2009, said Billingham "was at fault in the operation of unmarked troop car 4898" during the accident. It said that he should be "held accountable" and that the accident should be classified as "preventable." Another memo was addressed to Fuentes, the State Police superintendent, listing both fictional and accurate information for Billingham. Shown the document on Thursday, Fuentes said he did not recognize it, but said he is informed of every crash involving a state trooper. He declined further comment, citing the ongoing internal investigation. The probe now under way at the Attorney General’s Office started when an anonymous letter alerted investigators, according to two sources with knowledge of the case. The state sent the investigation into Billingham to the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office in October 2009, according to Jason Laughlin, spokesman for the prosecutor. To avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest because Billingham’s brother is the Camden County sheriff, the case was transferred to Ocean County about two months later, Laughlin said. Then it took more than a year for charges to be filed against Billingham. A criminal complaint was filed in municipal court in Lawnside, where the accident occurred, charging him with assault by auto causing serious injury. Billingham’s lawyer said his client has not been indicted and is entering a not-guilty plea. He declined to comment on any of the other allegations in the case. Although the criminal complaint said Billingham was under the influence during the crash, the 90-day period in which a drunken driving charge could be filed had expired, under the statute of limitations. "It took awhile for (the case) to get to us," said Steven Cucci, the assistant prosecutor handling the case. "It bounced around a little bit." He declined to specify what kind of evidence shows that Billingham was drunk. The complaint does not identify Billingham as a trooper. OTHER CHARGES The day after the accident, Tanksley said he was told to report to the State Police station to pick up his belongings, including his gun. But when he arrived, he was arrested and charged with weapons possession because he did not have a permit in New Jersey. "I was like, are you kidding?" Tanksley said. "I get nailed from behind, and now I’m looking at a felony charge?" Lewis, the State Police spokesman, declined comment on why Tanksley was charged and not Billingham. The case was assigned to the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office, and Tanksley was allowed into pretrial intervention. He received probation and completed his community service requirement. The weapons charge derailed Tanksley’s plan to become a Philadelphia police officer. He said he withdrew from the application process when he had to disclose the incident. "For the first time in my life, I recently was arrested and I am currently on probation," he wrote on a police department form. "That was my last chance," said Tanksley, who is now too old to apply to the force. "I had to turn down being a cop." Billingham, although suspended, is still employed by the State Police.

- Scientists at Duke University have developed an antibody that targets cancer cells and triggers an immune response to kill tumors while leaving other cells unharmed. The emerging approach to cancer treatment holds promise as an alternative to existing immunotherapies that pose unwanted side effects, researchers said. The paper, published Thursday in Cell Reports, is the latest in a series of studies by the team, whose earlier research suggested the antibody helped halt progression of early-stage lung cancer. In subsequent research, they observed that a human-derived, purified antibody kills tumor cells when bound to a specific target, a protein called complement factor H (CFH), which protects cells from an immune system attack. “[In] this last study— what I consider the most important and interesting— we did something nobody has done before,” senior author Dr. Edward F. Patz, Jr. the James and Alice Chen Professor of Radiology and professor in the department of pharmacology and cancer biology at Duke, told FoxNews.com. “We took cells to make the antibody and figured out the secrets of the antibodies they’re making.” Researchers extracted the white blood cells from patients who made the antibody, sequenced the antibody genes, and cloned them to make mature antibodies. The antibody was then tested in multiple cancer cell lines, including lung, gastric and breast cancers in lab dishes and in tumors in living mice. Researchers observed that the antibodies inhibited tumor growth without obvious side effects. The antibody, researchers believe, only recognizes the structurally different part of CFH protein that they believe is only found in tumor cells. It then impacts tumor growth by disabling the protective CPH layer and destroying cancer cells. Read More @ FOX News

The Great Molasses Flood of 1919 Jan. 16, 1919: At approximately 12:40 p.m. on the previous day, the North End was shaken by a terrific explosion caused by the bursting of a giant tank at the Purity Distilling Co. on Commercial Street. This is a view of the aftermath looking north across North End Park. The great molasses tank was located in the center of this picture. Sections of the metal may be seen at the extreme left and right in the picture. Twenty-one people perished, including two 10-year-olds, Pasquale Iantosca and Maria Distasio, who were collecting firewood near the molasses tank while home from school for lunch. Jan. 15, 1919: Word of the disaster quickly brought every available rescue agency to the scene. Police, firemen, Red Cross workers, civilian volunteers, and cadets from the USS Nantucket training ship berthed nearby were soon on the site. They pulled out many terrified people but others they were unable to reach. Jan. 16, 1919: The gooey molasses formed a tidal wave that reached a depth of 15 feet and in places was 100 yards wide over a two block area. Jan.16, 1919: The flood knocked down a house and smashed vehicles up and down Commercial Street. Jan. 16, 1919: The tank was 58 feet high and 98 feet in diameter. It was used to store molasses which eventually was shipped to a distillery in Cambridge. At the time of the explosion it was estimated that 2.5 million gallons of molasses were in the tank. Jan. 20, 1919: Welders carefully began cutting up the molasses tank with torches in the search for bodies. Even though firemen constantly sprayed water upon the twisted wreckage, it wasn't until the City of Boston ordered powerful streams from the city fireboat that the molasses began to disappear. The salt water of the harbor "cut" the molasses and eventually the welders could see the structure of the original tank.

The superheroine from the popular manga and anime series “Sailor Moon” has emerged once again to fight another evil — syphilis. As a part of its campaign to raise awareness of sexually transmitted diseases, the health ministry will distribute 60,000 condoms wrapped in pink, heart-shaped packages adorned with the blond, doe-eyed character Usagi Tsukino. The condoms, which call for STD testing on the wrappers, will be sent to 142 municipalities for distribution at events like World AIDS Day on Thursday and at Coming-of-Age-Day ceremonies in January, ministry officials said. The ministry will also distribute 5,000 posters and 156,000 leaflets illustrated with the junior high school character and a slogan that says: “I will punish you if you don’t get tested!” By turning to the popular character, the ministry aims to regain control over syphilis, which has made a rapid return among young people, said Kazunari Asanuma, head of the ministry’s Tuberculosis and Infectious Disease Control Division. He said the STD outbreak is especially serious among women in their 20s and men in their 20s to 40s. According to the ministry, syphilis cases hit 2,697 in 2015, which is more than four times the 2010 level and the highest since the survey began in 1999. As of Nov. 6, cases were at 3,779 and climbing. Patients infected with STDs like syphilis and AIDS usually don’t notice the symptoms for weeks or even years. The ministry believes early testing and appropriate use of condoms are effective means of prevention. Although Asanuma says that “Sailor Moon” is popular with people of all sexual orientations and may prove useful in bringing up STDs among those too shy to discuss them, some Usagi Tsukino fans are upset the junior high school student is being used as the “campaign girl” to broach the topic. “I don’t like it a bit. ‘Sailor Moon’ was a childhood heroine and a sacred figure for me. I still want her to be distant from this issue,” Twitter user @akaimihajiketa wrote Monday. “But I want the leaflet … I am still looking for words to explain my mixed feelings.” “Sailor Moon,” created by Naoko Takeuchi, made its TV debut in 1992. The tale of magical schoolgirls has been aired in more than 50 countries and attracted millions of fans from around the world.

SAN FRANCISCO – Most people associate Super Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto with Nintendo's classic 8-bit games, but Yoshio Sakamoto's retro cred stretches back almost as far. Sakamoto joined the company in 1982 and was responsible for several cult hits on the Nintendo Entertainment System, from Wrecking Crew to Balloon Fight. As a producer at Nintendo, he's also in charge of games like Wario Ware: D.I.Y.. At Game Developers Conference last month, he spoke about his long history at Nintendo. As one of the creators of Metroid, Sakamoto's next big game is Other M, the latest Wii version of the outer space adventure game series. But since we'd already talked about that game at last year's E3, I wanted our interview at GDC to concentrate on Sakamoto's early history. Wired.com: What year did you join Nintendo, and what was the first thing you worked on? Yoshio Sakamoto: I entered the company in 1982, which seems like quite a long time ago now. At that time, we were mostly making Game & Watch products. But this was also the first time that they had begun to recruit new employees from art programs at universities. So I was working on the multiscreen version of the Game & Watch Donkey Kong game. If you remember the barrels and the cranes in that game, I made those. That was the first thing I ever created that appeared in a game. Wired.com: What were the challenges in drawing for LCD games? Sakamoto: When we were working on the Game & Watch, everything was in black and white. There were two things we really had to pay attention to. The first was line thickness. We couldn't go below a certain thickness and still have good visibility. Another one was, whenever you have joined segments on a liquid crystal display that appear and disappear, you have to be very careful about the gap that you leave between the two. It would have to be at least a certain amount of space. Wired.com: Very shortly after that, the Famicom came out. So they put you to work making art for those games? Sakamoto: Even before the Famicom era, I was involved with a couple of arcade projects. I'm not sure if you remember Donkey Kong Jr., but at that time, Mr. Miyamoto was working on some of the pixel art for the game and needed some help. So he actually pulled me from another department of the company entirely. He spoke to my boss, and I was available, so that was another big debut for me. It's true that creating pixel art was my first experience in the videogame industry, but one of the stranger experiences I had was an interaction with Gunpei Yokoi, where he said, "If you can make pixel art, you can make a game." So when Famicom came out, he pulled me and I began to direct titles for that. Wired.com: What was Yokoi like as a boss, as a game designer? How would you contrast him with Miyamoto? Sakamoto: I think that earlier episode, where he said "If you can make pixel art, you can make a game," was a pretty good illustration. He was the one that was always really pushing us to come up with new and creative ideas. The way that he would constrain us was to say, "All you have to do is come up with a great idea, and give it to a designer. In fact, I don't want you guys to learn any of the technical stuff. It's just going to hold you back." Whereas Mr. Miyamoto would say, you have to learn the technical side to be able to give 100 percent to the designer. But Mr. Miyamoto was never my boss, so it's hard to compare them on that scale. Wired.com: When Yokoi said to you, "If you can draw pixel art, you can make a game," what did you think at that moment? Sakamoto: I remember thinking, "Well, if my boss says so, then maybe I can. But I certainly know that I have to try." I was also very interested, so I worked hard at it. Wired.com: What was the first game you designed? Sakamoto: Wrecking Crew, a game where you break walls. There was the home console version, as well as an arcade cabinet that actually had a head-to-head setup. I don't know if it actually came out in the United States or not. Wired.com: I think it did. At that point, you were using Mario and Luigi as characters. Did you have to go and ask Miyamoto if it was OK to use them? Sakamoto: Originally, the Wrecking Crew character wasn't Mario. He was just a guy with no moustache, wearing overalls. I was in a different department, but Mr. Miyamoto came along and said, "You know, you should probably just use Mario. He's really easy to draw, and people recognize him." So it was actually Mr. Miyamoto who pushed that. Wired.com: The design of Wrecking Crew was more complicated than a straightforward platform game. What was your inspiration there? Sakamoto: A lot of things. I wanted to make a game where you broke walls and got sort of a "puzzle" feel out of that. And nothing really I could put my finger on as far as a specific influence or inspiration, I was just imagining that type of puzzle action game. Wired.com: Between Wrecking Crew and Metroid, what did you work on? Sakamoto: Balloon Fight. And then there was another game that only came out in the U.S., called Gumshoe. Wired.com: Gumshoe was kind of weird. How did you come up with that one? Sakamoto: Well, I remember that Mr. Yokoi had come to me saying that he really wanted to design a light gun game. And I had this initial idea of making a ball jump when you shot it with a gun. And so he asked me to flesh that out. I created something, and tried it, and it turned out to not really be that much fun. But we decided that if you could keep shooting things as the main control scheme, this could be perhaps something very interesting. So we had this old man who was running down the street, shooting things like a bottle, and it's not so much that you're shooting it, but you're telling it, "Jump!" This had changed quite a bit from Mr. Yokoi's original idea, but it had turned into something very interesting. At the same time, I didn't even have permission from him, but I decided to make the character look a little like Mr. Yokoi. When he first saw it, he was very surprised: "What have you done here?" Wired.com: You said you were inspired by the Italian filmmaker Dario Argento – is that inspiration was why so many red, yellow and orange colors were used in the design of Samus? Or, are we just taking it way too far? Sakamoto: You're overthinking it. Sorry! Wired.com: What are some specific ways, though, that these films that you mentioned inspired you in terms of creating games? Sakamoto: One of the things that I really like so much about Argento's films is his use of music and quick cuts to create this amazing contrast from one scene to the next. The music would come along, swelling, and then a big cut with a wonderful surprise for the audience. And he was very good at using those sound effects to change the mood immediately, on a dime. All of this was very stimulating as I was creating these formulative creative ideas. I thought that this music was perfect for a scary environment, and that it must be possible to include that sort of feeling in a game through music. I think some of that came out when I was working on Famicom Detective Club. As for Metroid: Other M, we have professional musicians who are much more sophisticated about these sorts of things than I am. But I discussed with them a lot about creating those dramatic moments, and we have found ways to use dramatic camera angles and other tricks that probably do share some inspiration that I originally got from Argento's films.

Have You Ever Said God Would Never Do That? – Craig Cooper Articles About Craig Cooper Categories : all Miscellaneous Church Leadership Gifts – 5 Fold Discipleship Faith Fiction Gifts – Holy Spirit Marriage, Family & Parenting Worship & Music Holy Spirit Hearing God Small Groups ‹ › Have You Ever Said God Would Never Do That? By Craig B. Cooper March 23, 2014 I was reading where God told Ezekial to cook his food over human dung (Ezekial 4:12). I thought, “God would never ask that.” Have you read where God told Isaiah to walk around the city for three years totally nude and barefoot (Isaiah 20:3)? Are you sure you want to enter the ministry? God would never ask that. I say these things are not rational! Why can’t God just say what He wanted too through these men? First, God likes object lessons. Remember where Jeremiah was told to bind himself up as a sign of what God was going to do to some kings (Jeremiah 27:1-5)? Second, God didn’t go to the same schools we did and He doesn’t think like us. Ezekial had many miracles and was a great prophet. But did you know it costs and is bewildering to follow God. Ezekial had to lay on one side for 390 days and the other side for 40 days (Ezekial 4:9-12). Naaman had to dip himself 7 times in the Jordan River to get healed (2 Kings 5:10). Does this make sense to you? God would never ask that. God would never ask us to do some of these things. It’s not rational. When, and not if He does you have a choice of following rationality or God. One of these will be your god. There is nothing spiritual about being weird. We don’t want to be weird for the sake of being weird. That’s just weird. But weird is weird to us because we measure it by our experience and the experiences of others. Do we want God to do something new? If so, it could be weird. God will ask us to do something that will be hard to believe. He likes to see who is our God and make dramatic statements at the same time. Shalom. Share this: Print Email Facebook Twitter Tumblr LinkedIn Reddit Like this: Like Loading...

Kailyn Lowry has been focusing on her own family, including her husband, Javi Marroquin, and her two sons, Isaac and Lincoln. Kailyn knows that Isaac is about to become a big brother once again, as Vee Torres’ due date was approaching. And this weekend, Vee revealed that she was in the hospital, getting ready to welcome her first child. One can imagine that Isaac is excited to meet his new baby sister. However, Kailyn Lowry isn’t showing any support or affection towards Jo Rivera and his new baby girl. This weekend, Vee went into labor and she gave birth to the couple’s first child. But Lowry didn’t acknowledge it one bit. Many fans celebrated with Jo, who became a father for the second time. According to a new Instagram post, Kailyn Lowry posted about being the center of attention instead of celebrating the arrival of Isaac’s new baby sister. The timing does seem odd, but Lowry didn’t seem to care. She retweeted a message from her friend, that joked about Lowry always wanting to be the center of attention. “This is what it’s like being Kailyn Lowry‘s friend sometimes. That’s her on the floor #ButILoveYou,” Kailyn’s friend Toni revealed on Instagram, adding a drawing of someone standing and someone laying on the floor. The person standing asks “how much attention do you need,” while the person laying down, in this case Kailyn, replies, “all of it.” Torres documented her journey to become a mother on Facebook, sharing pictures of herself in the hospital waiting for her baby girl to arrive. And she was clearly over the moon about the delivery, hinting that everything had gone exactly as planned. “OH. MY. GOD. I love this girl lol! Thank you EVERYBODY for all the love it is highly appreciated I read everything sorry if I couldn’t comment back to anyone so much going on right now & spending time with my girl. Which I can say is an AWESOME LATCHER! Thank the lawddddd. Once again thank you everyone & I feel all the love & support. Velisse is definitely one loved babycakes,” Vee revealed on her Facebook page after giving birth over the weekend. Vee did give birth early, as her due date isn’t for another 10 days or so. But things appeared to go well. It is possible that Jo texted Kailyn to let her know that Isaac was now a big brother, but she didn’t share anything on social media. One can imagine that many Teen Mom fans told her about the birth, as well. But there could be a reason why Lowry isn’t saying anything on social media. Kailyn has coldly said that she has no intention of being in Jo’s life other than sharing custody with Isaac. That means no relationship with their new daughter. “I have no plans to be in Jo and Vee’s baby’s life,” Kailyn revealed on the MTV reunion, adding, “I’m not jealous but I am happy even though it might seem otherwise. Jo wanted Isaac to be a girl, so I’m happy he’s getting a girl.” The girls are supposedly busy filming Season 7 of the show, so fans will get to meet Jo’s daughter once the new season airs on television. As for Kailyn Lowry, only time will tell whether she acknowledges the new baby girl. It is definitely possible that this new baby will become the focus of troubles on the new season of Teen Mom, especially if Jo can’t take care of both children without a job. What do you think of Kailyn Lowry’s lack of acknowledgement? Do you think it is rude, or do you think it makes sense, since she wants to distance herself completely from Jo? [Image via Instagram]

Beef alone accounts for 10 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions (Picture: Alamy/Getty Images/Metro) Denmark is considering taxing meat to help combat climate change. The proposal, put forward by the Danish Council of Ethics, means there will be an initial tax on beef. This would then be extended to all meats in the future, varying according to how environmentally damaging they are. Why is meat bad for the environment? Animal agriculture is one of the leading sources of greenhouse gas emissions. According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation, it is responsible for 18 per cent of all emissions worldwide. This is more than the exhaust emissions from all forms of transport worldwide. In fact, cattle by itself is the source of 10 per cent of all of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, as well as being a huge waste of water – at least 43,000 litres of fresh water is required to produce just one kilogram of beef. ‘Danes are ethically obligated to change their eating habits,’ council spokesman Mickey Gjerris said in a statement. Advertisement Advertisement He added that relying on consumers to reduce their own meat consumption ‘will not be effective’. ‘An effective response to climate-damaging foods that will also contribute to raising awareness of climate change must be united, which requires that society sends a clear signal through regulation,’ he said. Almost the entire ethics council supports the red meat tax – 14 of its 17 members back the idea. The proposal will now be put forward for consideration by the Danish government.

James Madison, in a letter to Joseph C. Cabell on October 30, 1828. A history of that clause, as traced in the printed journal of the Federal Convention, will throw light on the subject. It appears that the clause, as it originally stood, simply expressed “a power to lay taxes, duties, imposts, and excises,” without pointing out the objects; and, of course, leaving them applicable in carrying into effect the other specified powers. It appears, farther, that a solicitude to prevent any constructive danger to the validity of public debts contracted under the superseded form of government, led to the addition of the words “to pay the debts.” This phraseology having the appearance of an appropriation limited to the payment of debts, an express appropriation was added “for the expenses of the Government,” &c. But even this was considered as short of the objects for which taxes, duties, imposts, and excises might be required; and the more comprehensive provision was made by substituting “for expenses of Government” the terms of the old Confederation, viz.: and provide for the common defence and general welfare, making duties and imposts, as well as taxes and excises, applicable not only to payment of debts, but to the common defence and general welfare.

The Queensferry Crossing will be officially opened by The Queen on September 4, exactly 53 years to the day she performed the same duty on the neighbouring Forth Road Bridge. The ceremony will include a welcome address by the First Minister and a blessing by the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. A view of the south approach of the Queensferry Crossing in February 3 2017. Work began on the bridge in 2011. Picture: Andrew Milligan/PA Wire The cable-stayed bridge will open to traffic on Wednesday, August 30, before closing on September 2 and 3 to allow 50,000 members of the public to walk across. On September 5 an additional community day has been added, giving up to 10,000 more people from local schools and community groups on both sides of the Forth the chance to walk on the bridge. It will mark the end of a six-year construction programme costing an estimated £1.35 billion to provide a third bridge across the Forth between North and South Queensferry. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said: “It is very fitting that the Queensferry Crossing will be officially opened by The Queen, exactly 53 years to the day from when she opened the Forth Road Bridge. Importantly, this celebratory event will recognise the thousands of people who have been involved in the construction of the new bridge. The Queensferry Crossing under construction in June 2016. Picture: Jane Barlow/PA “The Queensferry Crossing is a symbol of a confident, forward-looking Scotland and – as well as providing a vital transport connection for many years to come – it is a truly iconic structure and a feat of modern engineering. “The Queensferry Crossing Experience attracted huge interest from across Scotland and beyond, demonstrating the widespread excitement and pride in the bridge. I am pleased that we are able to respond to that demand with an extra day being set aside for pedestrian access so that more people from the local area, particularly young people, can enjoy this historic occasion.” Scotland is currently the country in the world to have three major bridges built in three different centuries in one location, making them a tourist attraction in their own right, said Malcolm Roughead, chief executive of VisitScotland. He added: “Scotland will celebrate a moment in history on 4 September as the Queensferry Crossing is officially opened by HM The Queen. At this unique moment, the country will become the world’s first destination to have three bridges spanning three centuries in one stunning location. It is a time to not only celebrate Scotland as a nation of pioneering innovation, design and engineering, but also give thanks all those who have worked tirelessly to create this unique new structure. An aerial view of the Forth Road Bridge in August 1964, shortly before its official opening. The neighbouring Forth Rail Bridge was opened in 1890. Picture: TSPL “People are fascinated worldwide by bridges, whether it’s for their beauty, grandeur or breath-taking engineering prowess. The addition of the Queensferry Crossing consolidates the Forth Bridges as global icons of Scotland and we look forward to showcasing all three awe-inspiring structures to the world for many years to come.” The bridge was originally scheduled to be completed in December 2016 but was delayed due to adverse weather conditions affecting construction. “The Queensferry Crossing is one of the world’s great bridges,” Michael Martin, project director for the Forth Crossing Bridge Constructors (FCBC) said in June. “It’s the largest bridge of its type and its fast track design and construction has presented many challenges. The safety of our workforce, who have worked relentlessly through the hostile weather conditions in the Forth estuary to deliver the earliest completion of this project, has always been our number one priority and it will continue to be so as move towards the completion of the project.”

The BJP government on Tuesday was left red faced as two of its senior ministers - Rajnath Singh and Nitin Gadkari - on Tuesday made contradictory statements on whether the web-based cab service Uber should be allowed to operate in the country or not. "The ministry of home affairs has advised the state government and union territories to ensure that the operations of web-based taxi services are stopped and such service providers which are not licensed with the state governments or union territory administration are prohibited to operate till they get registered themselves with the administration," Singh said in Rajya Sabha. His colleague though, had a contradictory view. "New developments are taking place in transport systems through electronics. Banning the railways for train accidents, buses for bus accidents and taxis is not correct," Gadkari said outside Parliament House. The Congress lost little time to profit from the confusion, accusing the government of speaking in two voices. "Government must clarify... your cabinet colleague has criticised the ban on Uber," Anand Sharma said in Parliament, indicating towards Gadkari, and demanding that "sarkar ek sur mein baat kare". Was this a simple case of crossed wires? Some sources claim otherwise. According to this report in The Telegraph, Singh was 'misled' into issuing an advisory by bureaucrats who had much to benefit from radio cab services. "The minister (Rajnath) is coming around to the view that the ban was perhaps illogical and that he was misguided by his bureaucrats. Suspicion was some of the officers were batting for local radio taxi operators," a BJP source told the daily. The other reason could well be the Delhi Assembly polls. Late last evening, Singh reportedly had a long meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the ban advisory issued and its political and economic implications. The advisory issued by the Centre could well be a political calculated move to send the message that the government is taking 'adequate measures' to ensure the safety of women in the capital city. This, as political parties such as the Aam Aadmi Party as well as the student wings of various political parties held protests outside Singh's house. In the end, it is Gadkari's position that will likely prevail, given that the Modi government is widely perceived to be pro-business. The advisory was not a directive to ban the cab service but said they not be allowed to ply until they meet with required regulation that is already in place. While Uber has refused to go off the road and continues to operate across the country, Gadkari has promised a complete overhaul of the Motor Vehicle Act that could well see stricter regulation for cab services in the country. For now, though, it will be left to see if state governments implement the advisory or merely have it on paper.

OLD Firm fans have been warned not to display offensive banners at Saturday's game - or they will face the full force of the law. Chief Inspector Brian McInulty (above) has issued the advice ahead of the Scottish Premiership fixture at Ibrox Stadium in a bid to quash hate crime. His warning comes after Celtic supporters came under fire for producing a banner and dangled two plastic effigies with hands tied behind their backs in the manner of an execution at the last fixture at Parkhead on September. The hanging blow up dolls adorned with Rangers scarves could be seen at the start of the live TV coverage of the match as the players took to the pitch. A toilet block was also extensively damaged at Parkhead. Roof tiles and lights were smashed and cubicle doors broken inside the away section of Celtic Park. Chief Inspector McInulty has now issued a list of 'don'ts' before the fixture which will coincide with Hogmanay. He warned: "That small minority determined to cause disorder, anti-social or offensive behaviour will be met with the full force of the law. "Officers will actively tackle those who put the safety of others at risk." Police Scotland have said that specific operations are in place for the match at Ibrox Stadium. They have warned supporters that it is a offence to use threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour or to display written material likely to stir up hate crimes. They also said that it is an offence to enter Ibrox Stadium or any other sports ground if you are in possession of any pyrotechnic device including flares, fireworks and pellets. Police Scotland will also come down on supporters who attempt to enter the stadium either drunk or with alcohol in their possession. Officers will patrol buses or mini-buses for spot checks to see if anyone on-board is drunk or has alcohol in their possession. Supporters are also urged not to drink in public. Chief Inspector McInulty said: "Our policing approach is about early intervention, prevention and engagement, and people should expect to see more officers proactively targeting the small amount of people intent on drinking to excess or behaving badly. “I completely understand that people want to have a good time and for some, that means drinking alcohol. "However the safety of people visiting the stadium or just the city of Glasgow itself, is our priority and I would urge people not to drink when coming to the stadium, as you’ll not get in. Drink responsibly if out later at night and keep yourself and your belongings safe. Know how you’re getting home and plan it ahead." The advice to the rest of the city is to plan their journey with Glasgow expected to be busier than usual due to Hogmanay and the football fixture. Chief Inspector McInulty said: "This is no doubt an exciting weekend for many people, whether it’s to enjoy a day of shopping at the sales, attending a football match or gearing up to celebrate the New Year. “It does mean that the city will be busier throughout the day and night. Together with our partners, we have robust policing plans in place to account for this with public safety being our priority.” He added, “Given the time of year, it would be expected that alcohol will play a part in some of the activities but I would urge people to drink responsibly, plan your outing in advance and ensure you stay with friends and family who know where you are. "Expect to see more officers in and around stadiums, shopping centres, on approaches to Glasgow and in the city centre itself. “We want to keep people safe whilst they enjoy football, parties and celebrations as part of our Festive Safety campaign. Have a great weekend and a happy New Year.”

1. UK: More Muslim men arrested for forcing underage girls into prostitution A gang of four men have been found guilty of sexually exploiting and drugging vulnerable underage girls who prosecutors say were passed around 'like commodities'. Newcastle Crown Court heard the offences - including trafficking for sexual exploitation, sexual activity with a child and supplying drugs - were committed between 2007 and 2014. Girls as young as 13 and 14 became 'in thrall' to men who controlled them and lured them to properties where drugs and alcohol were made available, the Evening Chronicle reported. The case is the latest set of convictions to be secured under Northumbria Police's Operation Sanctuary, and follows recent recent sentences for another Newcastle gang for similar offences. Ribas Asad, 29, was convicted of sexual assault and sexual activity with a child; Palla Pour, 25, was found guilty of sexual activity with a child; Soran Azizi, 28, was convicted of sex trafficking; and Saman Obaid, 29, was found guilty of supplying drugs. 2. Kissing couple attacked outside Rome mosque A 24-year-old Malaysian national was arrested Sunday night for allegedly attacking a couple who were walking hand-in-hand and kissing near an Islamic centre in Rome's Esquilino quarter. The man reportedly told them "you can't kiss in front of the mosque" before pushing the young woman and punching and kicking the young man. The assailant also allegedly attacked police who came to the scene. A Carabiniere was slightly hurt. 3.

Most dangerous city in Europe is in France, with 40 per cent Muslim population Muslims have now set up unofficial checkpoints in various parts of Marseille. The eruption has refocused attention on Marseille’s long-standing reputation as a European drug-smuggling hub, a place where entire neighborhoods have slipped away from police control and fallen under the command of gangsters who earn millions importing and selling North African hashish and settle turf disputes with AK-47 assault rifles. “Marseille is sick with its violence,” Interior Minister Manuel Valls said. Vowing to squash the drug trade and end the violence, Valls last week dispatched 250 paramilitary and other national police officers to reinforce the usual deployment of around 3,000. 5. AfD member and his family attacked by far left extremists 6. Israel: Border policemen, two security guards killed in Har Adar Two security officers and a border policeman were murdered Tuesday morning in a suspected terror attack in the town of Har Adar outside Jerusalem. Another Israeli was badly wounded. According to the Border Police, the Palestinian assailant approached the town's gate posing as a laborer. When the officers manning the gate grew suspicious of him because of his unusual clothing, he pulled out his weapon and opened fire. 7. Swedish mosque in no-go-zone gutted by arson Note: The Swedish media have ducked the issue of no-go-zones by renaming them as “vulnerable areas”, in order to ascribe the problems of “higher criminality” to poverty instead of a large Islamic population. Swedish police have arrested a man suspected of starting a fire that destroyed parts of a mosque in the central city of Örebro. The blaze in the Vivalla district mosque began around 2am Tuesday, with early reports suggesting it may have been started deliberately. Swedish newspaper Expressen quotes the Örebro Moske caretaker, Hassan Mountagui, as saying he witnessed a masked intruder in the building prior to the blaze. Meanwhile, Aftonbladet report that the mosque has been the subject of threats in the past. (Police say that there is no religious motive for the arsonist.) 8.

The man also told the school-age children that members of Isis were not "bad people". Zameer Ghumra, a 38-year-old pharmacist, allegedly taught the children how to "survive a bomb attack" and fight with knives, the BBC reported. He is accused of disseminating "terrorist propaganda" in the form of a graphic Twitter video on his mobile phone from January 2013 to September 2014. 10.

Petr Dudnik, the Good News Church pastor, said he did not know who exactly was behind the takeover but said it fit into a long campaign by the Russian Orthodox Church to portray competing denominations, particularly evangelicals, as a heretical fifth column inspired and financed by the United States. The Orthodox Church, like the Roman Catholic Church, traces its origins to the earliest Christian church established by the Apostles and, shaped by the different histories and cultures of its main strongholds in the eastern Mediterranean and Slavic lands, comprises a wide range of divergent views and political attachments. But unlike the Rome-based Catholic Church, from which it split in the schism of 1054, the Orthodox Church is divided into autonomous branches, with the Moscow patriarchate a particularly conservative and, in territory it judges bound to Russia by history, language and faith, assertive force. “We cannot ignore the fact that the conflict in the Ukraine has unambiguous religious overtones” Patriarch Kirill I, the Moscow-based head of the Russian church and its Ukrainian affiliate, wrote in a recent appeal to Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I in Istanbul, the Orthodox faith’s most senior cleric. Accusing rival churches, including a breakaway Ukrainian Orthodox church, of persecuting believers who obey the Moscow patriarchate, he cast efforts by the Ukrainian military to confront Russian-backed rebels as a religious war intended to “overpower the canonical Orthodox Church.” Rival church leaders say there is indeed a religious struggle underway but insist its root cause is political and what they see as the Moscow patriarchate’s role as an instrument of Kremlin policy. “Patriarch Kirill has become part of the Russian government, and it is in this light that his words and actions should be perceived,” said Patriarch Filaret, the head of an Orthodox hierarchy based in Kiev, the Ukrainian capital. The Moscow church has avoided giving explicit support for separatist gunmen but made no effort to rein in pro-Russian fighters who, claiming to serve the Russian Orthodox Church, imposed a reign of terror on Slovyansk marked by murders, kidnappings and general thuggery.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress is rethinking the broad authority it gave the president to wage a war on terror after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in light of how President Barack Obama has used the power to target suspected terrorists with lethal drone strikes. Senior Pentagon officials insisted on Thursday that the law should remain unchanged as the nation remains locked in armed conflict with al-Qaida and its affiliates, a fight that will rage for another decade or two. But Republicans and Democrats fear that they have given the president a blank check for using military force worldwide. "This authority ... has grown way out of proportions and is no longer applicable to the conditions that prevailed, that motivated the United States Congress to pass the authorization for the use of military force that we did in 2001," Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said during a Senate hearing. He told Pentagon officials that "basically you've got carte blanche as to what you are doing throughout the world." Michael Sheehan, assistant secretary of defense for special operations and low-intensity conflict, told the Senate Armed Services Committee that for the war against al-Qaida, the Taliban and other terrorist groups, the 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force "serves its purpose." "I believe that al-Qaida, although its narrative ... is very powerful among certain groups. Ultimately it will end up on the ash heap of history, as with other groups ... but that day, unfortunately, is a long way off," Sheehan said. Several senators, including McCain, Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, D-Mich., Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Bob Corker, R-Tenn., met privately recently to discuss revising the law. McCain indicated at the hearing Thursday that they could act on the annual defense policy bill expected this summer or produce a new resolution. Durbin, the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate, summed up the frustration of many in Congress who backed the law in 2001 but now wonder whether they went too far as the nation reeled from the shock of the attacks. "I don't believe many, if any, of us believed when we voted for that — and I did vote for it — that we were voting for the longest war in the history of the United States and putting a stamp of approval on a war policy against terrorism that, 10 years-plus later, we're still using," Durbin said. Days after the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, Congress enacted the Authorization for the Use of Military Force. The law gave President George W. Bush the authority to launch the invasion of Afghanistan and target al-Qaida, saying the commander in chief has the authority to attack "nations, organizations or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on Sept. 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons." Emerging threats beyond the borders of Afghanistan and the president's use of drone strikes have raised questions about the relevance of a law nearly 12 years later. The issue came to the forefront earlier this year as Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., waged a nearly 13-hour filibuster of John Brennan's nomination for CIA director over the president's authority to use drones in the United States. The Senate eventually confirmed Brennan. The president has promised to explain his drone policy, but members of Congress argue that he has been less than forthcoming about the secret program, the existence of which the government only publicly acknowledged last year. The administration has never publicly described the effectiveness of the program. However, independent groups, relying on news reports and other information, have compiled estimates on the attacks. The New America Foundation, a Washington-based think tank, estimates the U.S. has launched 420 strikes in Pakistan and Yemen — the two countries where the strikes are believed to occur most frequently — since 2004. Between 2,424 and 3,967 people are believed to have been killed by U.S. drones, the majority in Pakistan. Three Americans were killed in strikes in Yemen in 2011. The target of the first strike was U.S.-born al-Qaida leader Anwar al-Awlaki. American Samir Khan, an al-Qaida propagandist, was killed in the same attack, and al-Awlaki's son, Abdulrahman, was killed the following month. McCain pressed Robert Taylor, the Pentagon's acting general counsel, whether the law gives the administration the authority to use lethal force against al-Qaida associates if they are identified in Mali, Libya and Syria. Taylor said the United States has the authority. Sen. Joe Donnelly, D-Ind., questioned the Pentagon officials about how the United States would treat the extremist group Jabhat al-Nusra, one of the most powerful and effective rebel groups in Syria battling the regime of President Bashar Assad. The group, which the United States has designated a terrorist organization, has pledged its allegiance to al-Qaida. Sheehan said the threshold would be an organized force affiliated with al-Qaida that has threated the U.S. The testimony prompted incredulity from Sen. Angus King, I-Maine. "I've only been here five months, but this is the most astounding and most astoundingly disturbing hearing that I've been to since I've been here," King told the witnesses. "You guys have essentially rewritten the Constitution here today. The Constitution Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 clearly says that the Congress has the power to declare war." King complained that the administration was reading the authority of the law to "cover everything and anything."

When researching what’s popular and current regarding baby boy names, buzz words like “vintage”, “classic” and even “old-fashioned” are bounced around, and with good reason. Time-honored boy names are appearing more and more in birth announcements yet it seems that only precious few have been granted society’s okay. Boy names like Theodore, Henry, and George are gaining ground, yet for every classic boy’s name making a return to the current name game, another 50 remain dead and buried, until now. So, for anyone claiming to be a fan of old-fashioned boy names, the list below will definitely put this self-proclaimed belief to the test. Anyone fancying themselves a naming pioneer, ready to be instrumental in bringing one of these cobwebbed classics back to the light of day, then this list may be the perfect starting point. And for any nosy parkers out there, just wanting a peek into the dusty attic of boy names, then feel free to peruse as well. A word of warning, though: the following boy names are not for vintage appreciating light-weights; they are meant for hardcore fans of antiquated names left moldering in the dust. Scroll through these 33 forgotten gems as all of them are itching for a comeback. One of these so-called old-fashioned classics may actually be the perfect fit for a contemporary and modern, brand spanking new baby boy. Continue scrolling to keep reading Click the button below to start this article in quick view 829 Shares Share Tweet Email Copy Link Copied 33 Albert Currently, a high-ranking and modern choice in Europe, the boy's name Albert doesn’t seem to be making any waves this side of the pond. Proving popular in present-day Denmark, Czech Republic, England, and Norway--the North American continent seems to remain oblivious to the trend. Based on the original Germanic mouthful Adalbert, this version of the name is composed of elements “adal” meaning “noble” and “beraht” meaning “bright”. The name Albert was introduced to England by the Normans although its popularity wavered during the 17th century. It returned to favor during the 19th century when Prince Albert married Queen Victoria in 1840. Throughout the ages, Albert has proven to be a popular option for medieval as well as modern day royalty. Nobility aside, the name also has genius association considering it is the name of brainy German physicist Albert Einstein (1879-1955). 32 Alfred Once again, perhaps Europe is one step ahead of North America in terms of what is considered chic. The boy’s name Alfred is sweeping through countries like Denmark, Sweden, and Norway though remains somewhat stalled in the United States and Canada. That said, it was one of the top 50 boy names in the U.S. until 1933. Meaning “wise counselor”, Alfred is comprised of “aelf” meaning “elf” and “raed” meaning “counsel”. One of history’s most famous bearers of the name is ninth century English king, Alfred the Great. He was scholarly, literary, and relentless in fighting against the Danes living in northeast England. A couple of somewhat more modern Alfreds include British poet Alfred Lord Tennyson (1809-1892) as well as the original “master of suspense”, movie director Alfred Hitchcock (1899-1980). 31 Alvin Meaning “noble friend”, the boy’s name Alvin is a modernized version of several medieval Old English names: Aelfwine, Aethelwine and Ealdwine. It started out as a surname before eventually making the switch to first name status. While currently, Alvin sits at #602 within the U.S., it’s hot to trot at #45 in Sweden. People of a certain age may have a difficult time hearing the name Alvin without thinking of character David Seville screaming “Al-Vin!” at the top of his lungs to the mischievous shenanigans of three bratty chipmunks. However, as more time passes so will the association of Alvin to a trio of naughty rodents which means the name can take back its vintage charm. Nicknames abound such as Alvie, Vinnie or just plain Al and a couple of similar sounding variants include Elvin and Alwin. 30 Barney It’s difficult to hear the name Barney without conjuring up an association to one of the myriad television characters using the moniker such as Barney Stinson, Barney Rubble, Barney Fife, Barney Miller and, of course, Barney the big purple dinosaur. But the boy’s name Barney has been around a lot longer than television. Throughout the ages, it has often been found in use as a nickname for longer biblical names like Barnaby or Barnabas. Meaning “son of comfort”, the name Barney is apparently making the rounds as a popular choice for hip new parents living in London, England right now. And if that doesn’t up its chic factor, then consider the fact that Barney’s is the name of a posh, high-end New York department store as well. Similar sounding names include both Bernie and Barnett. 29 Bernard Despite being an extremely popular boy’s name during the early 20th century, the name Bernard has taken a background role to more trendy names like Braden, Brian, and Brandon. However, thanks to the upcoming U.S. presidential election and former Democratic nominee Bernie Sanders (whose first name is Bernard), the name is back in society’s foreground. Composed of Germanic elements “bern” meaning “bear” and “hard” meaning “brave” or “hardy”, Bernard replaced the Old English name Beornheard. It was also the name of several noteworthy European saints living in the 10th and 12th centuries. The St. Bernard dog was actually named after an 11th century monk who was the patron saint to mountain climbers. He lived in the Alps and set up safe houses for pilgrims traveling to Rome by way of the treacherous St. Bernard pass. 28 Bertram The boy’s name Bertram may have last experienced some level of popularity during the 1930s but that doesn’t mean it can’t very well make a full comeback now that old is new in the baby name game. Meaning “bright raven”, Bertram is composed of Germanic elements “beraht” meaning “bright” and “hramn” meaning “raven”. The Normans introduced the name to England and William Shakespeare took hold of it and used it as a character name in his 1603 play All’s Well That Ends Well. Fast forward another four centuries and J.K. Rowling chose it as a character name within her Harry Potter series. If Bertram just isn’t tugging on any heart strings out there, then consider another similar oldie but goodie, Bertrand. Besides the obvious Bert diminutive, there is also Randy or Andy as available options. 27 Cecil Flip a coin to decide whether to pronounce this well-worn classic with either a long or short “e” sound--either is acceptable. Cecil comes from the original Roman name Caecilius and is translated as meaning “blind one” which could indicate it was once used as a name to describe a visually-impaired individual. However, Cecil was also the name of a third century saint. And despite kicking around some during the Middle Ages, the name Cecil did not experience much popularity until the 1800s when it was used to honor the noble and aristocratic Cecil family who were prominent since the 1500s. However, in this case, Cecil as a surname had derived from the Welsh name Seisyll (a version of Sextus meaning “sixth”). Cecil in feminine form offers up a plethora of beautiful options as well including Cecilia, Cecile, Cecily, and the less-obvious, Sheila. 26 Chester If anyone’s been lying awake at night wondering where the retro boy’s nickname Chet originates, then good news: the answer is Chester. This Latin boy’s name means “fortress” or “walled town” and though it proved to be a top 100 name from the late 1800s until 1929, it virtually vanished off the list altogether as of 1995. Chester was formerly a surname taken from the place name Ceastre (pronounced as Chester) which was an abbreviated version of Legacaestir--an ancient Roman settlement in Britain. Despite being lost in the shadows alongside shopworn sobriquets like Lester, Sylvester and girl’s name Hester, Chester may actually be on its way back in. In England and Wales, it currently ranks at #359 and Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson have a son named Chester (born in 1990) who goes by Chet. 25 Clifford A name created by a location, the English name Clifford was often given to someone living near the ford of a cliff. Comprised of elements “cliff” meaning “slope” or “river bank” and “ford” meaning “river crossing”, the name Clifford enjoyed a modicum of popularity within the United States for the better part of the 20th century before hitting its high in 1909 when it reached #57. However, it did remain within the top 100 until the 1950s. While the Clifford family was a powerful one in England throughout the Middle Ages, the name may currently be more aligned with Clifford the Big Red Dog--an association young children may truly appreciate. Even without the second syllable, just plain Cliff works on its own as a quirky and vintage nature name with a modern-day sound and feel. 24 Cornelius Before automatically dismissing the name Cornelius as way too old-fashioned to ever be worthy of consideration, give it a bit of pause. If only for the ton of nickname options attached to it such as Corey, Neil, Cornell, Kai, and Connie. Believed to be a Roman family name derived from the Latin element “cornu” meaning “horn”, the name Cornelius can be found featured in the New Testament of the Bible. It’s an interesting and unique choice for anyone looking for a boy’s name with subtle religious undertones. It was also the name of several early saints including a third century pope. Due to some Dutch influence, the name came into regular usage within England during the 16th century. A couple more plugs for the name include the trivia that Cornelius is the birth name of comedic actor Chevy Chase. As well, it translates melodically to a girl’s name as shown by Cornelia. 23 Cyril Cyril is another boy’s name with two very distinct pronunciations, either as See-ril or Sur-el. Originating from the Greek name Kyrillos which is derived from the Greek word “kyrios” meaning “lord”, the name can be found throughout the Greek bible in reference to God or Jesus. Cyril was also the name of several prominent saints throughout history including Cyril of Jerusalem (a fourth century bishop), Cyril of Alexandria (a fifth century theologian) as well as Saint Cyril (a ninth century linguist who along with his brother created the Cyrillic alphabet which is still used today). The name Cyril came into regular use in England during the 1800s and though seemingly in hibernation at the moment, could easily come back to life under the proper circumstances. 22 Dewey For anyone with David as a family name but on the hunt for something a bit more unusual, then consider replacing it with its Welsh version, Dewey. This unique yet dated boy's name is also sometimes thought to be an abbreviated form of much longer name Deuteronomy. Despite the fact that the name Dewey appears relatively uncommon, it does appear from time to time. For instance, there is the Dewey Decimal System invented by Melvil Dewey in 1876 and used by libraries in order to organize books. There are also Donald Duck’s triplet nephews Huey, Louie, and Dewey. Dewey is also the name of the precocious youngest child (until another baby was born later in the series) of Hal and Lois on the sitcom Malcolm in the Middle. A few other interesting variations of this definitely underused boy’s name include Daud, Dawood, Dawid, Daw, Dovid, and Davit. 21 Earl The name Earl is not only a seldom-heard short and sweet boy’s name but also an aristocratic title. Before it was considered an acceptable first name, Earl enjoyed a long and varied history. In use as a boy’s first name since the 1800s, Earl is believed to have derived from the Old English word “eorl” which means “nobleman” or “warrior”. Another origin story has the name taken directly from the Germanic term “jarl” (pronounced as “yarl”) which was a title reserved for warrior kings. And in 12th century England, the name was often used in reference to the servants of actual aristocratic earls. More recently, the name Earl received some attention from the short-lived sitcom entitled My name is Earl but based on the character actor Jason Lee portrayed, it probably did no favors for the popularity of this rarely heard boy’s name. 20 Elmer Reminiscent of lisping cartoon character Elmer Fudd for some and of a particular brand of white glue for others, there is the possibility that for most millennials who are now procreating, the boy’s name Elmer represents a quirky yet charming choice that remains in uncharted territory by today’s standards. Derived from a surname, Elmer comes from Old English name Aedelmaer. Later and particularly within the U.S., the name was often bestowed on boys in order to honor American brothers Jonathan (1745-1817) and Ebenezer Elmer (1752-1843) who were well-known and respected politicians. Even though some may find it an odd and hopelessly outdated choice for a boy’s name, keep this in mind: Elmer was a top 100 boy’s name for more than 50 years until fading in the late 1930s. In the early 1900s, Elmer hit its peak at #38. 19 Ernest This name’s claim to fame may lie in two extremely famous literary references; the first being American writer Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) and the second being, in part, to writer Oscar Wilde who used Ernest as a character name in his 1895 comedy The Importance of Being Earnest. Derived from the Germanic word “eornost” which means “serious” or “resolute”, Ernest was first introduced to England during the 18th century though it did not quite catch on until the 1800s. At that point in time, it remained a top 40 boy’s name from 1880 until 1926. Similar variations include Ernesto, Ernst, and Ernestas with Ernie and Ern as nickname possibilities. One more factoid is that Ernest is most likely the full name of Ernie of the popular muppet due Ernie and Bert. 18 Felix The boy’s name Felix has an interesting story behind it which begins with the fact that it started out life as a Latin nickname meaning “lucky” or “successful”. The name proved to be a favorite among early Christians due to its lucky meaning and was the nickname for the first century B.C. Roman General Sulla. Felix also has strong religious associations. It can be found in the New Testament of the Bible and it was also the name of many notable saints (about 67 in total) as well as four popes. In use in England since the Middle Ages, Felix is currently highly popular throughout Europe. Presently, it clocks in at #8 in Austria and is at the top of naming lists in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Although it is much lower ranking in North America, it sits at #74 in Canada and is even lower in the U.S. where it resides at #262. Recently, actresses Gillian Anderson, as well as Elizabeth Banks, have chosen the name for their respective sons. 17 Gilbert Based on Old French name Guillebert which, in turn, is derived from Old German name Gisilbert, Gilbert means “bright/shining pledge”. The original version of the name is composed of Germanic elements “gisil” meaning “pledge” or “hostage” and “beraht” meaning “bright”. The name was introduced to England by the Normans where it became a common boy’s name throughout the Middle Ages. Gilbert was also the name of a 12th century saint who founded the religious order The Gilbertines. In 1930, the name Gilbert reached its high point of #90 although currently, it resides within the top 1000 U.S. boy names at #982. Nickname options are Gil, Bert and the more interesting Gib. And for any Anne of Green Gables fans out there, Gilbert just might be the perfect catch in terms of a fitting baby boy name. 16 Heathcliff Referring to individuals residing on a cliff near a heath (an area of low-growing shrubs), the boy’s name Heathcliff is an example of a mysterious, heroic yet rare boy’s name based on a location. It has even been suggested in certain circles that the name was actually invented by English writer Emily Bronte who used it as the name of her troubled yet masculine hero in her 1847 novel Wuthering Heights. Laurence Olivier portrayed the tortured character in the 1939 film adaptation of the book. Although never ranking within the top 1000 U.S. boy names, the name definitely carries its own in enigmatic charm. And while Heath has enjoyed some level of popularity as a first name throughout current English-speaking society, the second half of this antiquated boy’s name seems to have jumped off a cliff into oblivion. 15 Herbert Apparently, a memo went out to all soon-to-be new parents that boy names ending with “bert” with the exception of Robert are banned. But why? Consider going against the grain and choosing this particular old-fashioned yet charming boy’s name, Herbert. Typically considered a German name, Herbert is composed of elements “hari” meaning “army” and “beraht” meaning “bright”. Once the Normans introduced this name to England, it quickly replaced their current version Herebeorht. That said, Herbert seemed to die out during the Middle Ages before reviving during the 1800s. It saw its zenith of popularity during the 1920s and has been living underground ever since. Despite Herberts being few and far between in modern society, the name has gotten great usage throughout history, from ancient Saint Herbert to several French counts living in the 900s and 1000s. 14 Herman Similar in sound to Herbert and just as out-of-fashion, is the boy’s name Herman which translates as meaning “army man” due to Germanic components “hari” (army) and “man” (self-explanatory). Introduced to England by the Normans, the name basically disappeared before rearing its unique head once again during the 19th century. A couple of famous bearers include an 18th century Russian missionary who is revered as a saint within the Orthodox church as well as American writer Herman Melville (1819-1891) famous for his work Moby Dick. Not making any waves within most current baby name charts, Herman is sailing quite smoothly through modern-day Norway at #51. Variations of the name are Armand and Armando with nickname possibilities Herm and Harm. A similar yet softer version of the name is hidden gem Sherman which is based on the surname “Shearman”and was originally an Old English occupational name referring to a wool or cloth cutter. 13 Homer This ancient Greek name has been usurped by the head of the Simpson clan, Homer Simpson. Although before Mr. Simpson’s time, Homer was first and foremost the name of the Greek poet famous for writing The Iliad (about the Trojan War) and The Odyssey (about main character Odysseus’ journey back home after the war). While there is still much speculation about when Homer actually lived (or even if he was real or fictional), most literary scholars peg him as living during the eighth century B.C. Derived from the Greek word “homeros” meaning “hostage” or “pledge”, the name Homer has been in use within English-speaking society (mainly the U.S.) since the 1700s. The name comes with plenty of celebrity endorsements as well. Actors Richard Gere (whose father was also named Homer), Bill Murray and Anne Heche all named their respective sons Homer. As for Simpsons creator Matt Groening, both his real-life father and son are named Homer. 12 Horace Meaning “time keeper”, the name Horace can be pronounced as either Hoar-iss, Haw-riss or in French as O-Ross. This typically English and French name comes from the original Latin name Horatius. It has also been suggested as originating as an ancient Roman family name with mysterious beginnings, perhaps coming from the Latin word “hora” meaning “hour” or “time”. Due to admiration for popular Roman poet Quintus Horatius Flaccus (born in 65 B.C.), the name proved very popular in the early 1900s before fading considerably soon after. Although writer J.K. Rowling snatched it up for a character name (Horace Slughorn) within her Harry Potter series. Variations of the name include Horatio and Horacio with nicknames Hoary or Ace. This name has a few things going for it, it's easy to spell and say which is great for school aged children. If you like the name, but aren't sure whether you like it for a first name, think about using Horace as a second name. 11 Lloyd Originally found as a surname coming from the Welsh word “llwyd” (pronounced Lhoo-eed) which means “gray”, the name Lloyd was often used as a nickname for someone with graying hair. The early years of Lloyd as a name are shrouded in somewhat of a mystery as it is only on record as a first name within the English-speaking world since early within the 20th century. One of the most notable Lloyds is actor Lloyd Bridges (1913-1998), father to both Beau and Jeff Bridges. What most don’t realize is that actor Beau Bridges was actually born a Lloyd. Another famous Lloyd is Welsh politician and former U.K. Prime Minister David Lloyd George (1863-1945). The double consonant at the name’s beginning makes it a hip and unusual name for a baby boy. And the fact that it’s a one-syllable name makes it practically impossible to abbreviate. 10 Lyle This former surname transplanted as a first name has French beginnings despite the fact that it is most often considered to be an English or Scottish name. Meaning “island”, the boy’s name Lyle derives from the French term “l’isle” and was often used in reference to someone living off the mainland. This simple, melodic and one-syllable boy’s name proved at its most popular during the 1920s. Currently, it is considered a quirky version of much more common names like Kyle, Miles or Tyler. See Lyle in action as American singer (formerly married for a minute to Julia Roberts) Lyle Lovett. Or with fresh-faced Canadian actor Lyle Lettau (born in 1994) most famous for his current role as Tristan on the Degrassi series available on the Family Channel. 9 Marvin Meaning “sea hill”, the boy’s name Marvin is sometimes considered to be the Welsh version of Mervyn. Although another origin story has the name deriving from the now defunct name Merefin composed of elements “mere” meaning “lake” and “fion” meaning “fair” or “clear” or “finn” meaning “a person from Finland”. For some unknown reason, this boy’s name has gone under the radar and is currently not recognized for all the awesomeness it harnesses. Currently ranked low on the totem pole of names at #548 in the U.S. and at #333 in France, the name Marvin has plenty of star power to back it up. There is late American singer Marvin Gaye (1939-1984) who is credited with helping to shape the sound of Motown during the 1960s. It is also the birth name of both American writer Neil Simon (born in 1927), as well as American singer and actor Meatloaf (born in 1947). 8 Mortimer French in origin, Mortimer comes from an English surname derived from a place-name meaning “still water”. Rumor has it that the name comes from original French name Mortemer which literally translates into “dead sea” and is the name of a French village. Mortimer is also considered to be an Anglicized version of the name Moses. If anyone is looking for a more roundabout way to get to Timmy as a nickname rather than taking the standard Timothy route, then Mortimer may hold the answer. It is also quite similar to another seldom heard boy’s name Morton which is derived from the words “moor town” in Old English. An interesting piece of trivia regarding the name is that Walt Disney originally planned on calling his most famous character Mortimer Mouse rather than Mickey Mouse. 7 Morris Currently ranked at #79 in the Netherlands, the boy’s name Morris derives from the Latin term “Mauritious” meaning “moorish”. Moors were ancient Muslim people of mixed Arab and Berber descent. The name Morris actually means “dark” or “swarthy”. The name Maurice was first introduced to England by the Normans where it eventually mutated into the English version, Morris. Once considered to be a top 100 name within the U.S., Morris vanished off the list altogether as of the mid-1990s. Variations of the name include Mauritz, Moric and Mauro. Maura is considered to be the feminine form. As for nicknames, there is Morrie or Maury and somewhat sleeker and more distinguished sounding Moss. Similar sounding yet just as unique boy names include Boris, Horace, and Norris, and, of course, the girl’s name Doris. 6 Norman A contracted form of “northman”, Norman was an ancient Germanic way to refer to Vikings. In history, Normans were Vikings that traveled to and resided on France’s coast which came to be known as Normandy. Prior to the Norman conquest in 1066, the name Norman or Normant was used as a nickname to describe Scandinavian settlers before it became used as a first name. Following the conquest, the name Norman enjoyed some popularity before disappearing in the 1300s. It was once again resurrected during the 19th-century thanks in part to a character named Norman in British author C.M. Yonge’s 1856 novel The Daisy Chain. Despite having similar spelling to the English word “normal”, Norman has connections with quite extraordinary individuals and characters including artist Norman Rockwell, author Norman Mailer and psychotic fictional mama’s boy Norman Bates. 5 Ralph Meaning “wolf-counsel”, the name Ralph enjoys a wide variety of pronunciations including Ralf, Rolf, and Rayf. Based on a contracted version of the longer Norse name Radulfr, Ralph was first introduced to English society by Scandinavian settlers before the Norman conquest. Throughout the Middle Ages, it was typically spelled as Ralf but by the 17th-century, Rafe was the more common spelling which was how it was most often pronounced. The spelling Ralph did not appear until the 1700s. Residing in the top 30 boy names from the 1870s to the 1920s, the name Ralph can be found throughout literature. It features in works by William Shakespeare as well as within William Golding’s 1954 novel The Lord of the Flies. A couple of other notable Ralphs are American writer and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) and more current American designer Ralph Lauren born in 1939, as well as British actor Ralph Fiennes (pronounced Rayf) born in 1962. 4 Seymour Possibly derived from a Norman surname associated with the French town of Saint Maur, the name Seymour means “marshy land near the sea”. As in “sea moor”, literally. While definitely not popular in terms of a boy’s first name, Seymour as a place name throughout the world has caught on like wildfire. Seymour as a city name can be found peppered across the globe especially within the United States, Canada, and Australia. Seymour was apparently the surname of an English family of some nobility back in the 13th century. It is said that British actress Jane Seymour (born in 1951) is a current descendant from this aristocratic family tree. Seymour is also a first name that can be found in various works by American author J.D. Salinger. But sadly, it may most be associated with sad sack donkey Seymour from Winnie the Pooh. 3 Ulysses While it may be extremely difficult to pinpoint a boy’s name beginning with the letter “u”, it is obviously not impossible. There is Umberto, Uric, and Uriah, and, of course, Ulysses. Pronounced Yoo-liss-eez, this old and rarely found boy’s name is actually a Latinized form of the Greek name Odysseus. One of the most famous bearer of this unusual name remains Ulysses S. Grant (1822-1885) who was a key player in the American Civil War and went on to become the 18th U.S. President in 1869. Ulysses is also the title of Irish author James Joyce’s 1922 novel which is often touted as one of the greatest works of modernist literature of all time. Former Saturday Night Live comedic actress Ana Gasteyer chose this quirky name for her son born in 2008. Interesting nicknames include Uly, Lee, and Lyss. A similar sounding yet much more common boy’s name is Julius. 2 Wallace For an efficient yet unique route to nickname Wally, Wallace may be the way to go over the more commonly found boy’s name Walter. Derived from a surname of Scottish or English extraction, the name Wallace was originally used in reference to someone who was Welsh or considered a foreigner. It eventually went on to become a first name used to honor Sir William Wallace, a 13th century Scottish hero who led the rebellion in order to drive out the invading English from Scotland. William Wallace was portrayed by actor Mel Gibson in the 1995 blockbuster Braveheart. The much more recent British claymation series Wallace and Gromit has returned this retro boy’s name back into the limelight. Ranking as a top 100 name back during the 1920s. there’s nothing stopping the boy’s name Wallace from experiencing a serious comeback. 1 Wendel The boy’s name Wendel is actually a shortened version of Old Germanic names starting with the element “Wandal” which means “a Vandal”. The Vandals were a fifth century Germanic tribe invading Spain and North Africa. Later in history, the name Wendel became associated with a Slavic group of people known as the Wends. Another origin story posits the name Wendel deriving from the term “wenden” meaning “to travel”. It can also easily fit a naming situation where new parents are looking for a male equivalent to feminine names Wendy or Wanda. The name Wendel (which is sometimes spelled with a double “l”) was a popular choice back in the 1930s but has paled in popularity since then. Although, there are many Wendels located throughout the U.S., they are mostly city names. Sources: BehindTheName.com, Nameberry.com, BabyNameWizard.com

Oregon football media day Former Oregon director of sports nutrition Adam Korzun (left) joins John Sergeant, director of food and beverage, on the opening of the Hatfield-Dowlin Complex in August 2013. Korzun is now taking a job with the NFL's Green Bay Packers. (Thomas Boyd/The Oregonian) EUGENE -- One of the key behind-the-scenes cogs in the Oregon athletic department will still be feeding a football team in green and yellow this fall. Only now, sports nutritionist Adam Korzun will be working for the NFL's Green Bay Packers instead of the Ducks. Korzun on Sunday was named the Packers' director of performance nutrition. He was Oregon's director of sports nutrition for two years, where he helped design what, how and when UO's 18 teams ate. Korzun's departure comes at a hectic time. Football's fall camp begins Aug. 4, and with it, the largest roll-out yet of the NCAA's new "unlimited food" policy for all athletes. In April the NCAA announced all athletes, whether on scholarship or not, could eat at a university's training table. Previously, UO walk-ons had to pay $8.72 per meal to eat with scholarship teammates. You'd likely never heard of Korzun, not that you should have. But he was one of the dozens of low-profile support staffers, joining athletic trainers and others, who kept Oregon's athletic department humming. When Oregon emerged for spring football practices praising its added weight on the offensive and defensive lines -- even quarterback Marcus Mariota was up about five pounds of muscle -- Korzun played an integral part. Korzun, who worked for the U.S. Olympic Committee and the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association prior to arriving at Oregon, was featured by The Oregonian in an April story about how players gained weight in the offseason. Here's part of how he described his role: On a recent morning, he was instead next door at the Hatfield-Dowlin football complex, de-stemming 30 pounds of green beans in Oregon's athletics cafeteria as part of the next day's menu served to the football, baseball and lacrosse teams. It's not uncommon to find him moving a pallet of Gatorade from the Moshofsky Center next door, one of 12 that Oregon athletes will drink in a week. Korzun represents the less conspicuous half -- the underbelly, maybe -- of Oregon football's big offseason storyline of getting bigger. When Marcus Mariota and his offensive linemen speak of their winter weight gains, they mention their increased time and commitment in the weight room. That side of the story is both accurate and understandable: Setting personal bests in the squat and bench is flashier and more palatable than discussing setting an alarm for 3 a.m. to wake up and drink a protein shake, as some Ducks are doing. Each half requires the other, however, and Oregon believes its hard work adding weight through eating and lifting will give it a better shot at dislodging big, burly Stanford from its Pac-12 championship perch in 2014. "You can lift three times a day, but if you're not fueling your body properly you're not getting the gains out of it," said Korzun, a slightly balding man with a slight build whose office is somehow entirely devoid of protein-bar wrappers. "Conversely you can eat perfectly and if you're not lifting you're just going to get big and not get stronger. It's what you do together, all the components coming together, that makes for improvement and performance." The job wasn't all about putting a meal in front of an athlete's face. Korzun and his staff tried to educate, as well. The work of growing and slimming a roster goes far beyond Oregon's walls even if legislation keeps the training table's options limited. Korzun and his staff have taken athletes to Costco a mile away for education lessons on good foods to buy and when to eat them. "We find out what they like and make it healthy," said Korzun, who does not count calories, but instead tracks meals per day. "My personal message is, it's all on you. ... Short of me placing a feeding tube for you I can't control what you eat, I can just give you the right education to make sure you choose the right things." A listing for a position similar to Korzun's sports nutrition job has yet to be posted to Oregon's jobs board. Assuming it or a similar position will be, it will join other open jobs in the athletic department as assistant director of basketball operations, assistant men's basketball coach, assistant men's basketball conditioning coach and student-athlete development coordinator.

Image copyright Reuters The Italian navy and coastguard say they have rescued about 4,500 migrants from dozens of small boats in the Mediterranean during the course of Thursday. A woman's body was recovered from one of the vessels. More favourable weather conditions have resulted in a major increase in the number of people leaving north Africa. Many of the unseaworthy boats were spotted about 40km (25 miles) from the Libyan coast. "We saved a total of about 4,500 people in about 40 rescue operations," a coastguard spokesman told AFP news agency. He added that the operations were continuing and the number might rise. Image copyright Reuters More than 10,000 people have died crossing the Mediterranean to Europe since 2014, according to United Nations figures. An agreement between Turkey and the European Union to halt migrants from travelling to Greek islands has reduced boat arrivals by 98% during the first five months of the year, compared with the same period in 2015, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) says. But arrivals in Italy continue at about the same rate as last year, the IOM added. A note on terminology: The BBC uses the term migrant to refer to all people on the move who have yet to complete the legal process of claiming asylum. This group includes people fleeing war-torn countries such as Syria, who are likely to be granted refugee status, as well as people who are seeking jobs and better lives, who governments are likely to rule are economic migrants.

Image copyright Twitter/Elon Musk Image caption Tesla co-founder Elon Musk tweeted the first image of the Model 3 after it rolled off the production line Tesla co-founder and chief executive Elon Musk has shared the first images of the electric car company's Model 3 after it came off the assembly line. Mr Musk tweeted a picture captioned "First Production Model 3" on Saturday. The entrepreneur followed it up with another Model 3 photo, this time in colour, outside the Tesla factory site in California. The Model 3 is Tesla's first mass-market car and the first 30 owners will get in the driver's seat on 28 July. The four-door Model 3 will then be available to the public, with a base price of $35,000 (£27,100), almost half that of the Tesla's next-cheapest model. Tesla's share price more than doubled between December and late June as investors backed Mr Musk's strategy to transform the low-volume luxury electric car maker into a producer for the crowded mass-market, but has since fallen back. Registrations for new Teslas in California, the car maker's largest market, were down 24% in April compared with April 2016, according to IHS Markit data. The company responded by calling the figure "cherry-picked" data. Tesla reported that first-half 2017 global deliveries for all its models rose to 47,100. That was at the lower end of its predicted sales range of 47,000 to 50,000. In its last full financial year results the company made a loss of $889m (£689m). Mr Musk's tweeted images follow news last week that Volvo would become the first traditional vehicle manufacturer to phase out the petrol and diesel powered combustion engine, in a move toward hybrid and electric car production.

SALEM -- House lawmakers passed legislation Wednesday that would make Oregon award its Electoral College votes only to presidential candidates who win the national popular vote. Wednesday's vote marks the first time that such legislation, already passed by 11 other states, may have a shot at becoming law in Oregon. The Oregon House has passed similar bills before, but they've all been killed in the Senate. Not this time, though: Senate President Peter Courtney, D-Salem, an obstacle to national popular vote bills in the past, said last week that he's open to letting the bill pass his chamber. If passed in the Senate and signed by Gov. Kate Brown, House Bill 2927 would add Oregon to the 11 states and Washington D.C. -- including Washington and California -- that have already joined the national popular vote compact. The compact won't take effect until states with a collective 270 Electoral College votes sign on; it stands at 165 electoral votes now. Oregon's bill passed the Democrat-controlled House along partisan lines this year, 34-23. The legislation comes on the heels of President Donald Trump's victory in November, where he won the Electoral College despite losing the popular vote contest to Hillary Clinton by 3 million votes. Two of the last five presidents won the presidency despite losing the popular vote: Trump and George W. Bush -- both Republicans. Bill carrier Rep. Alissa Keny-Guyer, D-Portland, said Wednesday that the Electoral College is "flawed and outdated" because a candidate can become president without winning support from a majority of Americans. "The Electoral College does not fit the 'We the people' and 'One person, one vote' style of government," Keny-Guyer said in a speech from the House floor. Because it's assumed deep-blue Oregon will always vote Democratic, the state is "relegated to being a spectator state" during presidential campaigns, she said. Keny-Guyer and other House Democrats said that could have an effect on policy. If it were possible for Oregon to be a swing state, it might get more attention -- and beneficial handouts – from the federal government, they said. House Republicans spoke against the bill, saying it is unwise to change how the nation selects the president. If Democrats want to make Oregon more competitive nationally, officials should hold the presidential primary election earlier in campaign season, Republicans said. In opposing the bill, Rep. Carl Wilson, R-Grants Pass, argued against "pure democracy" where the "tyranny of the majority" would rule. Few Americans understand the Electoral College, he said, and what he sees as the danger in nixing it. The bill now heads to the Senate, where it isn't dead on arrival, but may face amendments. Courtney, the Senate president, said that although he opposes national popular vote legislation, he is open to amending the bill and sending the question directly to voters. "If you believe in the popular vote," he said, "then let the popular vote decide the issue." -- Gordon R. Friedman 503-221-8209; @GordonRFriedman

Du Wax Loolu: Domestic order skip to main | skip to sidebar Monday, January 5, 2009 Domestic order Well, 2008 was a great year for me, but I can't say that I'm sorry to see it go. I am very pleased with 2009 so far (pure relaxation and rest), and I have big plans for the rest of it. Filling out that survey the other day made me think about what it will look like at the end of 2009, and all I can say is that I think things will be very different around here by then (and no, I am not pregnant). There are just a lot of plans and changes that we have in mind for the year, and I am very much looking forward to implementing them. This weekend Torsten and I started going through our closet and bagging up the clothes that are still in perfectly good condition but that we just don't wear anymore for one reason or another. We aren't done yet, but there are already many bags of stuff that need to be donated. This, along with our old dishes that are boxed up and waiting to be brought somewhere, mean that I am going to have to do some real research into where these things can be donated. Although it's entirely possible that I'll cop out and dump the whole lot at a Planet Aid box sometime soon. I did learn one thing about Torsten during this process, though, and that's that he is a total brand whore. This is how the process went over the weekend: I would hold up a shirt that I haven't once seen him wear during the entire time that I've known him. He would wrinkle his nose, not even recognizing it, but if it turned out to be made by Hugo Boss or Calvin Klein, a prolonged conflict would ensue before I was finally able to convince him that he really was never going to wear the thing again. And in some cases, I didn't convince him, so now we have a small monument to "brand names that are otherwise useless" in the back of our closet. Oh well. Baby steps, right? And speaking of home organizing, my next goal is go through our drawers and drawers full of old papers, shred quite a bit of stuff, and organize the rest of it. Right now, the only papers we have organized are things that have to do with Torsten's green card application--and then, only because we have to have it that way, and it was a huge hassle pulling it all together. Everything else is is stuffed into drawers, and is either totally unnecessary or requires a huge time commitment of extended digging before it can be produced. Right now that's kind of OK, because we don't have anything really major going on, but once we own something, like a house or a car, and have debt and whatnot to keep track of, and deductions to take on our taxes, it won't be acceptable anymore. So my goal is to get on top of this before it becomes absolutely necessary, so when we do start getting paperwork that actually needs to be filed, the infrastructure will already be in place to file it. I can already tell how we're going to use that Container Store gift card we got as a wedding gift... So what about you? Are you organized when it comes to household papers and whatnot? If so, how do you do it? And if not, do you ever plan to be or are you fine with the current state of disorder? Posted by Jess at 7:01 AM Labels: answer me, domestic life, Torsten 42 comments: Lindsay Monday, January 05, 2009 7:14:00 AM Don't you just LOVE doing this sort of thing? We have a cheapo filing cabinet that we file stuff in. It is lovely to always know where stuff is. Also, there is store called the Container Store? I want! I want! ReplyDelete Replies Reply fairydogmother Monday, January 05, 2009 7:28:00 AM Are you sure you don't live at my house? I used to be pretty organized, but ever since my honey moved in it is pretty much a stuff explosion around here. Organized, clutter averse type + sentimental pack rat = enormous challenge. Sad to say I've lowered my standards in the interest of domestic harmony. That is until the sheer amount of clutter and disorganization drives me so crazy that I just. can't. take. it. for. another. minute! *sigh* I sense a trip to the Container Store in my near future! ReplyDelete Replies Reply d e v a n Monday, January 05, 2009 7:28:00 AM I went through our filing cabinet a few months ago. It took me ALL DAY to shred all the papers we didn't need for taxes or anything else. I had several bags of shredded paper by the end of it. I *try* to be organized, but sometimes it gets away from me. We have a 2 drawer filing cabinet and it's full. We may have to upgrade... ReplyDelete Replies Reply Anonymous Monday, January 05, 2009 7:30:00 AM We have a pretty big container with hanging files in the office. I labeled each one like - "Jessica's tax info 2008" - "Jason's Health Insurance", etc. There is a shredder/garbage can set up in there so that I can conveniently get rid of junk mail and unnecessary documents. If I didn't have that set up then the piles would get out of control =) I really, really like to be organized! ReplyDelete Replies Reply Kristen Monday, January 05, 2009 7:36:00 AM I TRY to be organized...I'm about 80% organized with our papers, etc. I just started cleaning out my closets this weekend. Now, with a baby, having the time to do this is a bit of a juggle! ReplyDelete Replies Reply Pickles and Dimes Monday, January 05, 2009 7:38:00 AM Oh man, we are CRAZY organized with our papers. (Although it is time to start shredding the stuff we don't need anymore.) We have a filing cabinet with two drawers: one for my papers and one for Jason's. Joint papers go in the back of Jason's cabinet. Then we have alphabetized files (Taxes, Bank statements, Insurance, etc.) so we can find stuff quickly. When it's time to purge stuff, I'll carry 3-4 files a day with me to work, and during my breaks I'll weed out the stuff to shred. ReplyDelete Replies Reply Anonymous Monday, January 05, 2009 7:40:00 AM Yay Container Store! You should let me know when you're shopping so I can come with and offer support. That was meant to be implicit in the gift-giving: the assistance of a very knowledgable personal shopper. Also, the use of her 40% discount (ahem). Additionally, you should know that the store is having a huge sale on all the elfa stuff, which is the closet organizing system, but your personal shopper's discount is better than the sale discount, so I suppose that doesn't really matter. Yeah, lemme know when you want to go:) ReplyDelete Replies Reply Unknown Monday, January 05, 2009 7:54:00 AM i'm pretty good at keeping my papers organized in folders. i have different ones for different loan stuff, car stuff, etc. and that seems to do the trick good enough for me, unless i actually have to access a specific piece of paper; then i'll be screwed. but the important stuff i may need to access is at arm's reach and the stuff i don't need is tucked away more. ReplyDelete Replies Reply Anonymous Monday, January 05, 2009 7:58:00 AM i have been trying to be organized for the past year and so far the plastic foldy file thing has worked well, however i do also have to keep organized about the papers for the kid-immunizations records, report cards, school pictures and payment plans for class trips. with that being said anyone who were to look at said foldy thing, would not consider it organized. ReplyDelete Replies Reply Anonymous Monday, January 05, 2009 8:08:00 AM If you are currently an "all the stuff in a drawer" type, can I make a filing suggestion? We got a big filing cabinet two years ago and did a big day of creating the files, organizing them, etc, and I LOVE it, and love the feeling of accomplishment that comes from being organized. But reality sets in quickly and I don't always have time to file promptly right away, so I needed an additional system. So we put a semi-attractive 9x12 size bin on top of the filing cabinet, and if I'm in a hurry, I drop important mail, bills, papers, etc in there- it's THE place for important stuff that has not yet been filed, and keeps the clutter from slowly creeping into the dining room table, kitchen drawers, etc. It helps bridge the gap between my formerly disorganized self and my aspirational super-organized self. Oh, and John is also a brand whore, and this is how we have two sweaters in size extra large from banana republic in our house, even though he is a size SMALL and only wore xls during the baggy high school days. ReplyDelete Replies Reply shelleycoughlin Monday, January 05, 2009 8:11:00 AM I think because my job is basically about being organized I feel it's okay to be in total disarray at home. Which of course makes me crazy when it comes time to find something important like, say, MY PASSPORT.

Right now, I'm pretty organized, but that's because I don't have a lot of stuff. I agree, it's a good idea to get a system in place now, as opposed to waiting until a tax audit (eeek!). ReplyDelete Replies Reply Anonymous Monday, January 05, 2009 8:49:00 AM We are so unorganized when it comes to papers. We have a filing cabinet that we never use. Instead we pile things up on the desks in our guest room. Maybe being more organized should be a 2009 goal. ReplyDelete Replies Reply Anonymous Monday, January 05, 2009 8:49:00 AM I love cleaning out closets. It frees up so much space, and helps others too. Real Simple had a post about this recently, that was helpful. http://www.realsimple.com/realsimple/content/0,21770,1043872,00.html# We have filing cabinets, and also those office depot cardboard boxes. We have an ikea bookcase that holds them in each cubby space. So when mail, or important papers come along. We make folders, and file them that way clutter doesn't clog everything up. I love container store. It is the best store ever! ReplyDelete Replies Reply Penny Monday, January 05, 2009 8:58:00 AM Okay, yes, I am fairly organized in the paperwork department. My system is this, if you are interested: I have a file cabinet with hanging files labeled with categories, like "Health", "Retirement", "Cars", "Credit card - Visa #5515", etc. I just drop receipts, statements and whatnot into them as I go. But I don't organize daily, so if I get some mail and I don't want to deal with it, I stick it in a temporary file folder called "To file" and then once every so often I'll sit down and file them all. Then, about tax time is when I'll have to go through everything and bundle everything up and rubber band things and label them, and I'll file it all into an entire accordian-style folder system called "2007 Taxes" or whatever, and it will have much of the same sub-folders like "Cars," "Credit cards," etc. Rule of thumb is that you should save personal tax records for 5 years or something like that, and then shred and recycle. My husband's system, on the other hand, is to make tiny piles of paper all around the house, and then when I tell him I'm sick of it, he sticks it into one huge box, completely unfiled. So there's that alternative.

I have a huge filing cabinet and files for everything but the paperwork that is important usually gets stacked up in a drawer (thankfully I only use one drawer) until the drawer gets overwhelming and I sort it all into the files. This happens 3-4 times a year :) Will's version of filing goes like this: "Hon, this looks important, will you figure out if I need to keep it and file it for me?" and then putting whatever it is on my desk. :) ReplyDelete Replies Reply Anonymous Monday, January 05, 2009 9:36:00 AM I'm right there with ya trying to get organized and in the process, donate things I no longer use.

I've been doing this since I was in college, but since then have married and acquired a dog and two kids! Things get filed, but I probably need to organize the files better, as well as go through and weed the things we no longer need. (ex.

I say hide them away somewhere Torsten won't find them. And if he hasn't mentioned them in a couple months, give them away. I bet he'll never know. While I *appear* to be uber-organized, I am really a mess when it comes to paperwork. The papers to my last condo were all over the place. And I lived in constant fear that was going to mess up my sale of the place. Now that I see I needed none of them to sell my place ... well, let's just say there's no motivation to clean up my act. It's ridiculous. I should be better. ReplyDelete Replies Reply Chris Monday, January 05, 2009 1:23:00 PM OMG, I stuff every single piece of paper I get that isn't junk into a drawer.

Here's the address: 2200 South Dakota Ave NE Or there's a Goodwill that accepts donations out on Route 50 and Edsel Road in Arlington, if that's more convenient. ReplyDelete Replies Reply the frog princess Tuesday, January 06, 2009 9:24:00 AM omg, disorganized beyond all belief! I mean, I generally know roughly where things are, but there are other things that I know I haven't thrown away, but would also be hard-pressed to actually *find*... Being that I've got to start paying back student loans very soon, I will probably have to remedy this, but being that I have never been an organized person (at least in the traditional sense), I have no idea how I will go about it.

Friday, January 09, 2009 12:37:00 PM We used to be really organized (primarily in the immigration department as you guys are) but then - to use the excuse that really is getting old - the baby came along and I haven't really felt like filing in the last, oh 18 months. Last summer, we took one whole weekend and filed and shredded and it was glorious. Right now, we just have various stacks of papers laying around in a back room waiting....and our to-shred pile is looming..... ReplyDelete Replies Reply Add comment Load more...

Advertisement Step 2 Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove chicken from brine and pat dry. Season with chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Step 3 Grill until browned and no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking time. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Step 4 While chicken is cooking, bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Step 5 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cut tops off the zucchini and scoop out the seeds. Set aside. Step 6 Heat butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Saute onion in the hot butter until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Add flour; cook and stir until browned, about 1 minute. Pour in milk; season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook and stir constantly until it starts to thicken. Stir in Cheddar cheese until melted. Step 7 Cut cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. Stir chicken and rice into the cheese sauce. Fill zucchini with the cheesy mixture and place on a baking sheet. Step 8 Bake in the preheated oven until softened, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve. I Made It Print Cook's Note: You can broil the chicken instead of grilling.

Many experts believe that chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) has several root causes including some viruses. Now, lead scientists Shara Pantry, Maria Medveczky and Peter Medveczky of the University of South Florida's Morsani College of Medicine, along with the help of several collaborating scientists and clinicians, have published an article in the Journal of Medical Virology suggesting that a common virus, Human Herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), is the possible cause of some CFS cases. Over 95 percent of the population is infected with HHV-6 by age 3, but in those with normal immune systems the virus remains inactive. HHV-6 causes fever and rash (or roseola) in infants during early childhood, and is spread by saliva. In immunocompromised patients, it can reactivate to cause neurological dysfunction, encephalitis, pneumonia and organ failure. "The good news reported in our study is that antiviral drugs improve the severe neurological symptoms, including chronic pain and long-term fatigue, suffered by a certain group of patients with CFS," said Medveczky, who is a professor of molecular medicine at USF Health and the study's principal investigator. "An estimated 15,000 to 20,000 patients with this CFS-like disease in the United States alone may ultimately benefit from the application of this research including antiviral drug therapy." The link between HHV-6 infection and CFS is quite complex. After the first encounter, or "primary infection," all nine known human herpesviruses become silent, or "latent," but may reactivate and cause diseases upon immunosuppression or during aging. A previous study from the Medveczky laboratory showed that HHV-6 is unique among human herpesviruses; during latency, its DNA integrates into the structures at the end of chromosomes known as telomeres. Furthermore, this integrated HHV-6 genome can be inherited from parent to child, a condition commonly referred to as "chromosomally integrated HHV-6," or CIHHV-6. By contrast, the "latent" genome of all other human herpesviruses converts to a circular form in the nucleus of the cell, not integrated into the chromosomes, and not inheritable by future generations. Most studies suggest that around 0.8 percent of the U.S. and U.K. population is CIHHV6 positive, thus carrying a copy of HHV-6 in each cell. While most CIHHV-6 individuals appear healthy, they may be less able to defend themselves against other strains of HHV-6 that they might encounter. Medveczky reports that some of these individuals suffer from a CFS-like illness. In a cohort of CFS patients with serious neurological symptoms, the researchers found that the prevalence of CIHHV-6 was over 2 percent, or more than twice the level found in the general public. In light of this finding, the authors of the study suggest naming this sub-category of CFS "Inherited Human Herpesvirus 6 Syndrome," or IHS. Medveczky's team discovered that untreated CIHHV-6 patients with CFS showed signs that the HHV-6 virus was actively replicating: determined by the presence of HHV-6 messenger RNA (mRNA), a substance produced only when the virus is active. The team followed these patients during treatment, and discovered that the HHV-6 mRNA disappeared by the sixth week of antiviral therapy with valganciclovir, a drug used to treat closely related cytomegalovirus (HHV-5). Of note, the group also found that short-term treatment regimens, even up to three weeks, had little or no impact on the HHV-6 mRNA level. The investigators assumed that the integrated virus had become reactivated in these patients; however, to their surprise, they found that these IHS patients were infected by a second unrelated strain of HHV-6. The USF-led study was supported by the HHV-6 Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. Further studies are needed to confirm that immune dysregulation, along with subsequent chronic persistence of the HHV-6 virus, is the root cause of the IHS patients' clinical symptoms, the researchers report.

Chad Rafdal made the drive from Blooming Prairie to Washington D.C. to be part of this crowd. "I woke up Tuesday morning and I didn't hit the road until about 8:30 a.m., and I drove all the way through by myself," Rafdal said. "I'm a Donald Trump supporter, but that's not why I went ... I feel like there's lots of evidence that something's fishy with this election." RELATED: 'This Had Been Brewing': Sen. Klobuchar Blames Trump For Inciting Violence At The Capitol When the tone of the rally changed and a mob of rioters broke into the U.S. Capitol, Rafdal chose not to participate. (credit: Chad Rafdal) "I'm a little disheartened, I guess a little heartbroken. You know, it just feels icky," he said. "I wasn't happy with what I seen, but that wasn't all that was going on. There was so much peace and, you know, looking out over the whole crowd, and we were singing 'God Bless America' and chanting 'USA.'" Rafdal was close enough that he and others around him were pepper sprayed, giving him a perspective change on how he hopes those watching from home view him. "Just like the riots and stuff this summer in Minneapolis, you know, it's not everybody was there to cause destruction, so we shouldn't lump everybody together," Rafdal said. "I accept how yesterday went. It wasn't picture perfect. I do think we've been heard, I do think some eyes were opened. I mean, you, we never want violence, we never want stuff like that, you know. We got to be able to get together before it gets to that point." In: Donald Trump Washington D.C. First published on January 8, 2021 / 8:00 AM © 2021 CBS Broadcasting Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Bucks coach Jason Kidd suspects shortened training camps have contributed to the league’s injury issues. (AP) MILWAUKEE — For more than a week, coach Jason Kidd has watched the injuries pile up, cringing. Not to his team — the Milwaukee Bucks’ regulars, headlined by MVP candidate Giannis Antetokounmpo, have been largely healthy — but across the league, where leading players have been dropping like flies. To Kidd, the NBA’s decision to lop off 10 days of training camp — a move made to stretch out the season, reduce the number of back-to-backs and eliminate four-games-in-five-nights situations, with an eye toward limiting the number of nationally televised games in which teams rest players — has something to do with it. Scroll to continue with content Ad “We went extremely hard because of the shortened training camp,” Kidd said. “We tried to get guys in shape. That’s one of the big things with a shortened camp. There’s a chance of not being in basketball shape, and you see a lot of injuries, a lot of guys out.” Kidd’s sentiments have been echoed by many coaches across the league. Shortened camps have left less time for conditioning, and poor conditioning has been viewed by coaches as a contributing factor to many of the injuries. “People say 10 days doesn’t matter,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “It does.” There are exceptions — conditioning didn’t dislocate Gordon Hayward’s ankle or cause Chris Paul to bump knees with Mario Chalmers in the preseason — but the number of early-season sprains, strains and bruises has been alarming. Story continues The disconnect on this issue seems to involve the condition of players when they came into camp. Times have changed — most players follow rigorous offseason conditioning programs and play all summer. It’s fair to say today’s players come to camp in better shape than ever before. At the same time, coaches note that a high level of activity does not get you in NBA regular-season shape. As one assistant coach told Yahoo Sports, “Have you seen a summer pickup game?” For coaches, there was a degree of ignorance on this issue. Kidd, one of the most outspoken critics of the shortened camp, once advocated for it. And there was little pushback from the coaches when the idea was originally proposed. Still, after experiencing it, some, like Kidd, would like to see a return to the older, full-length camps in the future. “I’d rather have the time before the season to prep, to get guys ready, so the product can stay on the floor,” Kidd said. “Right now, you have the product sitting. I don’t know where else they can go from here — maybe having two games a week and then one week of training camp. It’s got to be reviewed. People are coming to see the product and the product is in suits. And that is unfortunate.” On to your email … How do you see the Magic season going? Are 40 wins realistic? — Christina Flores Break up the Magic! Orlando — basketball’s island of misfit toys last season — has been sharp. It has a pair of wins over probable playoff teams — Miami and Cleveland — and the latter was a 21-point road drubbing without Aaron Gordon and Elfrid Payton. Cleveland whittled the Magic lead to seven in the third. Last season, the Magic might have folded, as D.J. Augustin noted. This year, they recovered and held on. So, is 3-1 a sign of things to come? I’d caution against getting too giddy. The shortened training camp has led to some weird early-season numbers (the Nets and the Warriors have identical 3-2 records, through Wednesday), and roster continuity, however flawed, has probably helped the Magic get off to a fast start. The problems that plagued the team last season — a lack of 3-point shooting, a glut of non-shooters in the frontcourt, an inconsistent Mario Hezonja — remain. But the Magic are well-coached — Frank Vogel continues to be one of the most underrated in the league — and the addition of Jonathan Simmons has added a versatile wing player with Spurs DNA to the mix. Forty wins might be a stretch, but 35 and a chance to fight for one of the woebegone Eastern Conference’s final playoff spots into March is possible. Gordon Hayward isn’t likely to return this season. (AP) Gordon Hayward’s agent and the Celtics have both said he is not expected back for the season. But as a professional athlete, I can’t imagine Gordon not wanting to get back on the court this year. Is it possible they have an idea that he could come back and are downplaying it so fans don’t get their hopes up? There was a reported 4-to-6 months recovery time. February would be four months and April six months. With all the medical advances, are we to believe a professional athlete can’t come back to the court in that time frame? — Jason Gallo Boston has not ruled out Hayward, so, yes, there is a possibility he could be back before the end of the year. But I wouldn’t count on it. Beyond the healing, rehabilitation and conditioning he would have to go through to play, there is also a mental hurdle to overcome. Hayward has to get comfortable again cutting, elevating and landing on that ankle. There’s little doubt that he will do it, but asking him to in the late stages of a playoff push or in a playoff series feels like too much to ask. Look, Boston is playing the long game here. They know the Eastern Conference is more open than it has been in years, but they also know that this team was built to win in Year Two, Three and Four of Hayward’s contract, when promising young stars Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum are ready to be factors in the postseason. A Hayward late-season return would be inspirational, but probably not all that impactful. He won’t be ready to play 30-plus minutes, not until next season. What do you make of this whole [Eric] Bledsoe situation that’s going on in Phoenix? If they wanted to trade him, they should have done so during the draft or over the summer. Trading him now, the Suns won’t get any value in return for him due to free agents not being eligible to be traded until after Dec. 15. In the end, should they wait this out to get better offers come December or try to work things out with him and have him play again? — Deven Parikh We’ve reached the point of no return for Bledsoe in Phoenix, a fact essentially confirmed by GM Ryan McDonough’s napalming of Bledsoe and his agent, Rich Paul, in a gaggle with reporters and a subsequent local radio interview. The Suns don’t want Bledsoe around, he doesn’t want to be there and all that is left is for Phoenix to decide just how low they will go on offers for its highest-paid player. On that note, this could play out for a while. In canvassing the league, there is still significant interest in Bledsoe. He’s 27 and a 20-point-per-game scorer the previous two seasons with a manageable contract ($29.5 million over the next two years). Phoenix won’t just give him away. They want a quality young player, and a team won’t make that kind of offer while the Suns’ backs appear to be against the wall. Still, doesn’t a Denver deal involving Emmanuel Mudiay make sense? Mudiay, the seventh overall pick in 2015, has struggled with his shot in Denver and continues to turn the ball over at an alarming rate. But he’s 21 and could be rehabilitated on a Phoenix team committed to a youth movement. Bledsoe would stabilize the Nuggets’ point-guard position and is young enough to fit into their long-term plans, too. A big salary would have to be thrown in — Kenneth Faried’s name has been mentioned — but that’s a deal both sides could benefit from.

Have your say A man has appeared in court accused of attempted murder in connection with an alleged shooting after the West Indian Carnival in Leeds. Meshac James, 20, also faces a charge of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life and two offences of possession of a class A drug with intent to supply. James appeared before Leeds Magistrates' Court today over the incident which is said to have taken place on Cowper Street, Chapeltown, at 2.20am on Monday August 28. James, of Hamilton Avenue, Chapeltown, spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and address. He appeared in the secure dock of the court between two officers and had his left arm in a sling. No pleas were entered to any of the charges. Prosecutor Christopher Styles said a man was injured after a shotgun was fired at him at "point blank" range. The man was taken to hospital with injuries to his arm. Mr Styles said a weapon had since been recovered. The court heard the drugs charges relate to the discovery of wraps of heroin and cocaine. District judge Paul Currer told Hamilton the case was too serious to be dealt with in the magistrates' court. The case was committed to Leeds Crown Court, where James will appear on September 28. No bail application was made and James was remanded into custody until his next court appearance. The shooting followed celebrations in Chapeltown as the area hosted Leeds' 50th West Indian Carnival.

It can impact your overall quality of life, presenting numerous challenges such as blurred vision, watery eyes, and discomfort. At Mangat Copit Plastic Surgery in the Vail Valley, we are pleased to offer OptiLight, a cutting-edge, FDA-approved solution for managing dry eye disease due to Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). What is OptiLight by Lumenis? Dry eye disease symptoms range from mild to debilitating and if left untreated, the condition can significantly increase the risk of further eye damage. Many patients are not aware of a solution, so they suffer discomfort in silence. Luckily, a viable, effective treatment exists in the form of OptiLight by Lumenis, the world’s first FDA-approved IPL procedure for MGD. OptiLight is non-invasive and gentle and is backed by over 20 clinical research studies. It can help patients return to normalcy and provides long-lasting relief. How Does OptiLight Work? OptiLight relies on precision-based light pulses to minimize inflammation, soften lubricating secretions, and enhance Meibomian gland efficiency. In addition, the treatment can reduce irritating demodex mites surrounding the eyes. What can I expect before my treatment? Our team will perform a thorough consultation, medical review, and physical examination to determine if OptiLight is the best solution for your needs. We will ask that you arrive at your appointment with clean skin free from cosmetics. You will need to avoid tanning and intense sun exposure for at least 2 weeks prior to your OptiLight session. What can I expect during my treatment? OptiLight treatment is rapid and uncomplicated. A gel will be applied to the treatment zones, and your eyes will be shielded with custom covers. As the healing light is applied to the skin’s surface, you will feel a gentle warmth. Most clients do not find OptiLight to be uncomfortable, and the treatment typically lasts 10-15 minutes. How many sessions will I need? Our team recommends that patients undergo at least 4 sessions spaced around 2-4 weeks apart. After this initial treatment series, we recommend a maintenance treatment every 6 months. Once you undergo your private consultation and examination, we will create a customized treatment plan for resolving your dry eye concerns. What happens after OptiLight? After your treatment, your skin may appear slightly pink for 1-2 days. During this stage of recovery, you can use a cold compress on your face several times a day. For the first few weeks after your session, you’ll need to wear sunscreen and avoid excessive sun exposure as your skin will exhibit greater sensitivity. Am I a good candidate for OptiLight? While OptiLight by Lumenis is an excellent solution for most patients struggling with dry eye disease, it may not be ideal for patients who… Suffer from aqueous dry eye deficiency or Sjogren’s syndrome (as compared to Meibomian gland dysfunction-related dry eye disease) Have significant scarring around the eyes Are undergoing radiation therapy Ultimately, only our experienced, seasoned providers can determine if OptiLight is a viable option for your unique situation. Schedule your consultation today to discuss the benefits of OptiLight and see if you are a good candidate. Why choose us? Mangat Copit Plastic Surgery and Skin Care offers specialized treatments at our state-of-the-art plastic surgery practice in the Vail Valley, delivering aesthetically superior outcomes geared towards each unique individual. You can expect personalized attention, comfort, discretion, convenience, and a stress-free environment when you undergo your procedure with us. From your in-depth consultation to your detailed aftercare plan, we support your journey of transformation every step of the way.

A Serene and Verdant Garden on the Toronto Islands – gardeninacity gardeninacity Notes from a wildlife-friendly cottage garden Menu About/Contact 31 Comments Posted on July 13, 2015 by gardeninacity A Serene and Verdant Garden on the Toronto Islands So much is going on I almost forgot to do the last post about our visit to the Toronto Islands, which Judy and I visited as part of the 2015 Garden Bloggers Fling back in June. You can find the earlier posts here and here. Downtown Toronto seen from Algonquin Island. The Toronto Islands are just a few minutes by ferry from the thriving heart of downtown Toronto. In fact, as we wandered the quiet lanes (no cars allowed) we kept running into views of the Toronto skyline. One particular garden left a big impression on both Judy and I. Isn’t this a great front garden? The craggy old trunk of a huge shade tree is underplanted so beautifully with flowers, sedges, and evergreens. And the Japanese Maple softens its domineering neighbor. On the way to the back garden we passed this white clematis. The flowers made me think of angels playing golden harps. Of course I don’t know the name of the variety. Entrance to the back garden. OK, I’ve got to admit that this spot is just about perfect. A private little niche, the stone, the quiet water punctuated by a couple clumps of aquatic plants, the tranquil evergreens with the dwarf Japanese Maple. So much serenity with just a couple of contrasting touches to keep you in the here and now. The place to sit in solitude and figure out the answer to life, the universe, and everything. You know who really loves living on the Toronto Islands? Solomon Seal (Polygonatum biflorum), that’s who. I really like this little tableau as well, though very different from my own garden, of course. And you know who else is really happy? Lady’s Mantle (Alchemilla mollis). Another really nice spot for quiet contemplation, this time for a couple. Wish I knew what kind of Trillium these were. Nice mottled foliage. Here’s a combination you don’t see often where I come from: Allium, Baptisia, and Lady’s Mantle. Nice globe made from wooden stems in the background. I like how the juniper it rests on suggests a hand or a pillow. And the round Alliums are like little purple globes. Sure, the Buddha looks happy. Wouldn’t you be if you spent all your time in this garden? After that garden we had to rouse ourselves to head back to downtown Toronto. Over the little bridge from Algonquin to Ward Island, then down to the ferry dock. The rain, which was nice enough to hold off while the flingers looked at gardens, decided it was time to let loose just as we got to the dock. We then had the pleasure of getting soaked by a brief but very intense thunderstorm. Fortunately, the next and last stop of the day was our hotel, where we could dry off. I’m going to keep the rest of my material on Toronto gardens in reserve until the return of cold weather in these parts. In the meantime, what would you say was the most tranquil garden you have ever visited? Share this: Tweet Email Like this: Like Loading...

I do like that spot by the pond. Looks like a great spot for a good book and a glass of your favourite drop on a warm evening! Reply gardeninacity July 13, 2015, 2015-07-13T18:52:41-05:004131 Exactly! Reply Cynthia Reyes July 13, 2015, 2015-07-13T12:28:45-05:004531 I’ve really enjoyed your tours. Thank you. Reply gardeninacity July 14, 2015, 2015-07-14T01:08:37-05:003731 You’re welcome! Reply casa mariposa July 13, 2015, 2015-07-13T13:34:26-05:002631 I think the Japanese Garden in Portland was one of the most serene but this is a close second for a small personal garden. I missed this one, somehow, but have seen many photos of it. I wish I’d seen it in person. Reply gardeninacity July 13, 2015, 2015-07-13T19:04:13-05:001331 I missed quite a few of the gardens on the Toronto Islands. There was just too much to see, and I don’t move fast, especially through gardens. Reply Jim Strickler July 13, 2015, 2015-07-13T14:12:54-05:005431 The Toronto gardens looked beautiful and peaceful. Completely reinforced my image of Canada. Reply gardeninacity July 13, 2015, 2015-07-13T19:05:05-05:000531 I know what you mean. Reply Helen at Toronto Gardens July 13, 2015, 2015-07-13T14:30:42-05:004231 Jason, the clematis is ‘Guernsey Cream’ — one of my favourites. Unsure which the trillium is, but this link might help (copy and paste): http://www.edgewoodgardens.net/articles/trillium.html Reply gardeninacity July 13, 2015, 2015-07-13T19:10:39-05:003931 Thanks for the ID! Reply rickii July 13, 2015, 2015-07-13T18:30:58-05:005831 Most tranquil? That would have to be the Japanese Garden here in Portland. You make a good case for this garden. I especially like the twining trunks alongside the entrance to the back garden. Reply gardeninacity July 14, 2015, 2015-07-14T01:12:08-05:000831 Yes, though I don’t know what they are. Akebia, maybe? Reply Arthur in the Garden! July 13, 2015, 2015-07-13T19:07:09-05:000931 Wow! Reply New Hampshire Garden Solutions July 13, 2015, 2015-07-13T21:26:07-05:000731 I think that might be a toadshade trillium (Trillium sessile) aka Sessile flowered trillium. That is a great garden. Just my kind of place. Reply gardeninacity July 14, 2015, 2015-07-14T01:15:19-05:001931 Except doesn’t the T. sesile have more of a maroon flower? Reply New Hampshire Garden Solutions July 14, 2015, 2015-07-14T01:28:51-05:005131 I’ve seen photos of yellow ones. I’ve also read that they can be green or bronze. Alison July 14, 2015, 2015-07-14T02:19:14-05:001431 Trillium luteum has a sessile flower that’s yellow, with mottled foliage. gardeninacity July 14, 2015, 2015-07-14T21:44:02-05:000231 T. luteum could be it. I was looking at the picture Judy took and the color of the flower is kind of mixed, though that could be from the light. Nadezda July 14, 2015, 2015-07-14T13:34:20-05:002031 Jason, you’ve visited very peaceful garden, I was surprised to know that near big noisy city of Toronto there is such serene and quiet place. I liked you picture of Budda:)) Reply gardeninacity July 16, 2015, 2015-07-16T17:48:09-05:000931 It was surprising to me as well, Nadezda. It makes for a wonderful escape from the city while still in the middle of it. Reply snowbird July 14, 2015, 2015-07-14T18:47:31-05:003131 The most tranquil gardens for me are always meadows overflowing with natural wild flowers. This is a gem of a garden, I enjoyed it all, especially around that gorgeous little pnd.xxxx Reply gardeninacity July 16, 2015, 2015-07-16T17:52:11-05:001131 I agree, though more green and pastel colors makes for a more tranquil garden, as does shade, and the pond should have some flowing water. Reply Garden Walk Garden Talk July 15, 2015, 2015-07-15T10:54:08-05:000831 I don’t remember that garden, but know I had to have photographed it since we hit every one of them on the tour. I will have to look at my images. The gate view is particularly nice. So is the couple seating. Reply gardeninacity July 16, 2015, 2015-07-16T21:06:21-05:002131 It’s the one I remember best, but then I didn’t get to all of them. Reply Pat Webster July 19, 2015, 2015-07-19T21:34:56-05:005631 I’m sorry I didn’t wander more on Toronto Island — I missed a lot of good gardens, it seems. But I know the answer to life, the universe and everything. 42, of course. Reply gardeninacity July 20, 2015, 2015-07-20T19:12:27-05:002731 I wonder if Douglas Adams was a gardener. Reply Pat Webster July 20, 2015, 2015-07-20T19:55:47-05:004731 Arthur Dent may have been, Douglas Adams almost certainly was — he was English, after all. Linda from Each Little World August 14, 2015, 2015-08-14T13:51:29-05:002931 Most tranquil garden? The Bloedel Reserve, my personal favorite U.S. Garden open to the public. Reply gardeninacity August 16, 2015, 2015-08-16T16:18:10-05:001031 Never been there – I need to put it on my list of gardens to visit. Reply Linda Lehmusvirta August 28, 2015, 2015-08-28T01:30:22-05:002231 Fabulous pretty post! And thanks for the ID on Solomon Seal! It was great to see you two again! Reply gardeninacity September 1, 2015, 2015-09-01T12:29:44-05:004430 Great seeing you also, Linda! Solomon Seal is common where we are, but not so much in Austin, I guess.

The rally in the currencies of commodity-producing nations including Australia and Canada is at risk of being a flash in the pan. The Aussie and loonie are up more than 1% over the past month versus developed-market peers after policy makers in the two nations each refrained this week from following up on interest-rate cuts that had sent investors elsewhere to seek higher returns. That may all change as the Federal Reserve moves toward boosting borrowing costs. The U.S. is forecast to show Friday an increase of more than 200,000 jobs for a 12th month in February, and speculators are the most bearish on the Australian and Canadian dollars in a year. “The day the Fed becomes more clear, and we get a better sense of the timing and structure of the rate-hike cycle, these currencies will plunge to new lows,” said Paresh Upadhyaya, the Boston-based director of currency strategy at Pioneer Investment Management Inc., which oversees about $250 billion. The loonie traded at 80.64 U.S. cents as of 2:14 p.m. in Tokyo Thursday, little changed from the previous day, when it rose 0.6%. It reached an almost six-year low at 78.74 on Jan. 30. Australia’s dollar was unchanged at 78.17 U.S. cents from New York, after touching a 5 1/2-year low of 76.26 last month. Greenback Momentum The two have slumped more than 10% in the past six months versus the greenback as declines in the prices of iron ore and crude oil, the biggest exports from Australia and Canada, derail investments and economic growth. Meanwhile, Fed officials, led by Chair Janet Yellen, are ramping up efforts in telegraphing the first U.S. rate rise since 2006. Traders have pulled forward expectations for the Fed to begin tightening in September from October after Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer said last week the central bank looked most likely to raise interest rates then, or even as early as June. That helped give the dollar a new wave of momentum, pushing the Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index on Wednesday to its highest close in more than 10 years. A combination of “the broad dollar upswing” and the “fallout” from lower commodity prices will continue to weigh on the Aussie and loonie, Robin Brooks, New York-based chief currency strategist at Goldman Sachs Group Inc., said in an interview in Sydney Thursday. He sees Australia’s currency falling to 72 U.S. cents by year-end, while the Canadian dollar slumps to 75.75 U.S. cents. Easing Likely Additional easing remains on the table for Canada and the antipodean nation. Swaps traders see better about 50% odds the Bank of Canada will cut the benchmark rate by 25 basis points to 0.5% by October, while pricing in a similar reduction by the Reserve Bank of Australia to 2% in April, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The BOC said Wednesday that crude oil prices and inflation are close to policy makers’ assumptions and a weaker currency will boost exports. The RBA unexpectedly left its key rate unchanged Tuesday, while saying further easing may be appropriate in the future. “There’s still room for markets to price in higher U.S. rates,” Motoki Koike, a foreign-exchange analyst at Nomura Holdings Inc. in Tokyo, said by phone Wednesday. “There’s a lot of additional easing already in the price of both the Canadian and Australian dollars, so it’s U.S. dollar strength that will probably drive their exchange rates from here.” Global Trend Policy makers around the world have been cutting interest rates and expanding stimulus programs this year to spur growth. The People’s Bank of China on Saturday became the 18th central bank of 48 key monetary authorities monitored by Bloomberg News to pare its benchmark. The European Central Bank provided more details on its unlimited quantitative easing, or bond buying, program on Thursday. Both the BOC and its Australian counterpart have said lower exchange rates are helpful. Bank of Canada Governor Stephen Poloz said Wednesday a weaker currency will boost non-energy exports, while RBA head Glenn Stevens said the local dollar remains overvalued, and a lower exchange rate is needed to achieve balanced growth. “The RBA would like it to do some of the heavier lifting to support and rebalance the economy,” Paul Mackel, head of Asia currency research at HSBC Holdings Plc, said by phone Wednesday from Hong Kong. “It’s going to be a slower going story until either the central bank decides to reduce interest rates further or the Fed starts to matter more, in which case the U.S. dollar gets stronger.” Bloomberg.com

11 Legal Studies Intro To Improve Your Drawing | 10 tips to create block method outline Skip to content 10 tips to create block method outline Search: Search Menu Search 11 Legal Studies Intro To Improve Your Drawing March 22, 2022 The first explanation which is given more often than others and lies on a surface, looks so. Existence in Europe of a large number of the independent states with own currency manages too expensive. First of all it concerns costs for converting. In the XIV century merchants of Northern Germany were convinced how it is unprofitable to do business numerous neighbors – tiny principalities, duchies and kingdoms. Because of infinite exchanges of one money for others the part of revenue inevitably settled in chests at moneychangers. Then practical Germans concluded among themselves the currency alliance and started minting coins of a uniform sample. In essence this problem is not solved still. A number of changes was brought: procedure of acceptance of new members in structure of the European communities was specified, membership conditions were also specified, decisions on expansion of jurisdiction and specification of structure of Court of the European communities were made. The second effect is that the part of trade of member countries of integration process is reoriented from the outside world at each other that creates inconveniences to the surrounding countries and compels them to join integration process. There was a problem: there will be no unanimity at making decisions on EVS. In this case the interesting concept of the so-called "advanced" development is fixed, i.e. a certain number of the states in the union can go on the way of the accelerated development and formation of structures, and not all EU member states can participate in such accelerated development. Ian Taylor, the member of the House of Commons of parliament during John Major's board heading the Exchequer company considers that introduction of euro is inevitable, but is fraught with unpredictable economic consequences. Taylor, as well as Zeyts, considers Great Britain as the leader in "race for euro". An example, from his point of view, preparatory activities can serve in London. As the United Kingdom does not take part in the first stage, British have the right to consider euro simply as one more foreign currency. But there is more to come. There are no exact rules of recalculation. How to arrive, for example, with rounding in a case with lira and peseta? Here several times it is more than figure, than at calculation in DM or the Dutch guldens. The economic and Currency union demands to carry out all calculations to within the sixth sign after a comma, however it can lead to very amusing mistakes after rounding. The European communities, as well as the EU, have the territory which develops of territories of member states. The territory of the EU is a limit of action and jurisdiction of the EU, for example the territory of the Customs union, uniform domestic market, EVS, etc. Summarizing economic situations of the new document, it is necessary to pay attention that they had to provide transition to a new stage of cooperation, i.e. to the uniform economic and currency union (EVS). For, at least, two years the limits of fluctuations of an exchange rate provided by the mechanism of exchange rates without devaluation in relation to currency of other EU Member States have to be observed. Schuman's plan for a preservation of peace which was the prerequisite of the French-German reconciliation, became a starting point on creation of a new order in Europe at which any armed conflicts would become not only unacceptable, but also impossible. Both the CIS, and the EU succeeded that this ideal became reality. Today it is simply impossible to imagine emergence of armed conflict between the Union countries. The first stage of integration is the conclusion of trade agreements on two - or a multilateral basis. An essence of such agreements – in decrease in this group of the countries of tariffs in comparison with tariffs for goods and services of other world and though such discrimination of the countries which are not participating in the agreement contradicts the principles of the GATT/the WTO, these measures are allowed as the interim, preparatory agreements directed on deepening of integration process.

Support Help Centre Contact Us Start a free trialLogin Dext HubAccountingTop 10 Ways To Win New Clients As An Accountant or Bookkeeper Top 10 Ways To Win New Clients As An Accountant or Bookkeeper Accounting and BookkeepingAdviceArticleGuide Looking to build your accounting or bookkeeping firm? Of course you are. Growing your roster of clients is the bread and butter to any business. Being able to do this quickly and effortlessly is key, especially as your time is so precious. That’s why we turned to our community of accountants and bookkeepers on Orange Select to ask for their advice. We asked, you replied. Here’s our Top 10 ways to win new clients if you’re an accountant or a bookkeeper. 1. Word of mouth Word of mouth – good clients often attract good clients. Caz Robinson, VMG Accounting We couldn’t say it better ourselves. It’s well-known that accountants win the majority of new clients through referrals. Better yet, these clients are likely to already trust you and make the onboarding process smoother. Although it sounds effortless, word of mouth marketing doesn’t happen by itself. It relies on delivering a consistent service that goes above and beyond for customers. 2. Ask for referrals Ask for referrals. You don’t get what you don’t ask for! Nicco Walker-Ng, Sport & Social Group Sometimes, it’s good to go back to basics. Have you asked your clients to refer your services, or indeed made it easy to? If you have a solid and loyal client-base, they’d probably be more than happy to. And even if you’re starting out, they know that business relies on building good impressions. Some quick wins include adding a line to your email signature reminding them or even incentivising them with a thank you gift when they follow through. Which referral systems should you be using? Find out how to make them happen here. 3. Make the most of your website Your website is the digital shop-front for your practice, so does it reflect who you are as a business? Whether you choose to create something in-house or outsource it, investing in a world-class website can be a powerful lead generation tool. Say you’re based in Brisbane; the next time someone googles ‘best accountants Brisbane’, you want to be the first link on the search page. To make sure you claim top spot, content is king. Case studies and testimonials are a great place to start, to shine a light on happy customers and show the potential of great bookkeeping. 4. Perform an ideal client analysis. I’ve done an ideal client analysis and it has totally changed my perspective when interviewing new clients. It is now about whether I feel they are a good fit with my business. Steph Shipway, Quadpath Who is the client you look forward to working with? The client that makes your job rewarding, and reminds you why you got into business in the first place? From here, you can start building a growth strategy for your business. After all, a ‘take on all’ approach is very difficult to manage without additional staff resources. You can include an ideal client analysis as part of your next business plan – then you’ll have a clear idea of what you’re looking for. 5. Get networking Most of my clients have come through my franchise group. My largest client came through networking. Dean O’Bree, Jim’s Bookkeeping Keysborough “Networking, networking, networking,” suggested one of our partners. And they’re spot on. As a small business owner, the local community is your lifeblood so you need to get out there and make everyone know who you are – whether that’s with new and prospective clients or other local businesses who you could work worth. Want to learn more about how to network and market your firm successfully? Check out Glenn Redler’s blog today. 6. Explore general ledger directories There are over 3,500 UK-based advisors listed on the Quickbooks ‘Find a Accountant or Bookkeeper’ directory. Xero has a similar service, and on both you can search by your town, city or postcode to find the right service in your area. This is great news for accountants and bookkeepers. Make sure you sign up to both if you haven’t already, and keep your profile up-to-date. Peter Jarman & Co (PJCO) is an accounting firm based in Shoreham-by-Sea in West Sussex. It’s one of the fastest growing firms and is one of the top-rated firms on QuickBooks Online ‘Find an Accountant’ service. Find out how they find now clients on QBO here. 7. Get listed on the Dext directory Did you know you can also get featured on Dext (former Receipt Bank)’s directory, “Find An Accountant”? If you’d like to be featured, please reach out to your account manager and express your interest. 8. Find your niche We target specific types of businesses which increases the likelihood they will refer similar businesses in the same industry to us. James Maxwell, Haines Watts Finding your niche will undoubtedly boost your chances of finding new business through numbers 1 and 2 in this Top 10 list. By targeting specific types of businesses, you can then make your firm the new go-to place for whatever it is those businesses do. You could be known as the best bookkeeper for restaurants, or the accountancy firm that knows everything about the gardening trade. This will of course increase the likelihood your clients will refer similar businesses in the same industry to you. One firm that has managed to do this successfully is Gains Accountants. Find out how Phool Ashraf found her niche serving the restaurant industry with cloud account-based accounting here. 9. Network at industry and business events We have one of our accountants attend a Business Network International (BNI) each week which generates work for us. Jamie Dorney, Haines Watts Business International networking events are a great way not only to network, but also gain confidence in talking about what you do as a business. Are you closing the books or are you leading the way in cloud accounting? It’s all about your narrative. Speak to local industry event organisers to find out when the next meeting is being arranged so you can start to build relationships and get referred. 10. Up your social media game Social media is a good source of new clients, like being engaged in business groups and on Facebook. Lee Duffield, All In Advisory Now, we’re not suggesting you spend all day on Snapchat or Instagram, but a touch of social media can do wonders for your brand image. Whether it’s sharing relevant content for SME owners or even giving a sneak-peek into If you already are, great, but if you’re not you could be missing out on lots of prospective work. Once you’ve found your niche you can stay active in the relevant online communities, whether it’s on industry message boards, Facebook groups, Twitter or LinkedIn. It’s an easy way to ask and answer quickly and in an open forum where you can speak to thousands of people at one time. So there you have it. Our Top 10 ways to win new clients is complete.

Using the Windows 10 Photo App to Create Video - @RebeccaColeman Skip to content @RebeccaColeman Social Media Marketing About Marketing Blog Food Blog Contact Using the Windows 10 Photo App to Create Video June 11, 2018 If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting! As you probably know, I’m a Microsoft Ambassador, and a couple months back, they sent me a new Surface Pro to test-drive for a while. When I teach my classes how to do video (we spend an entire class on video), I show them various tools like iMovie, and I used to show them Windows Movie Maker, which was discontinued a couple of years ago. I liked it. It was a good, simple, first-time kind of app which was perfect for students. Microsoft has replaced that app with an update to their Photo app in Windows 10, and it can do some pretty cool stuff. I have been playing around with it. This is a great little app to take the digital still photos you have from, say, a family vacation, and put them into a cute little video that you can then share with family and friends, or on social media. It has some pretty cool features. Here are the ones I like the best in the Windows 10 Photo App: Automatic music syncing. So, you basically put your photos in the order in which you want them, then you choose a piece of music (provided by the app) and it will sync your photos to the beat of the music. Pretty cool. The only downside is that sometimes the beat changes so quickly that the photo doesn’t get enough of a chance to be seen. Panning. In iMovie, this effect is called Ken Burnsing but it’s a cool effect that allows you to make it look like the camera is panning over the image. This gives your static digital photo some movement, and makes it more interesting. Titles and themes. The app has both; and it allows you to put your titles in various locations on the video, and there are lots of different fonts and styles to choose from. 3-d Special Effects. This is a very neat new feature that allows you add cool 3-d effects to your videos and photographs. I made you a video that explains it all, check it out! Have you used the Windows 10 Photo App? I’d love to hear your take on it in the comments below. If you enjoyed this post, make sure you subscribe to my RSS feed. You can also Subscribe via email.

In the summer of 2012, Dee Gordon was beginning to see a once-promising career slip away. He had been a fourth-round pick in 2008 who had been told so often that he was the Los Angeles Dodgers' shortstop of the future that he started to believe it, regardless of what he was doing on the field. But that summer, he had hardly earned being the future anything. The problem with top prospects in this modern era of information is that they are fully aware of their status. Beyond what's available to read online, a copy of Baseball America -- and its proliferation of prospect rankings -- sits on one or more coffee tables in a major league clubhouse. Often, the same young players on the cover of that magazine are often appearing in those major league clubhouses at the same time. Earlier this year, Boston Red Sox phenom Xander Bogaerts, signed as a virtual unknown from Aruba, told me that his career was aided because he had never grown up being ranked a day in his young life. He never knew how good he was or how good he was supposed to be. It was not until he had almost catapulted to the majors and began being noticed by a mass audience that he was aware that a lot was expected of him. By then, he was ready to handle the pressure. But it was not that way with Gordon. He had grown up with a famous baseball playing father, former pitcher Tom Gordon, and he'd starred in high school and had quickly become a prospect even though he had started playing the sport late in life after preferring basketball as a kid. By the time the draft arrived, Gordon was a known entity, not only in baseball front offices, but anywhere were fans could find out information about the draft. Gordon quickly ascended through the minor leagues, and had a good rookie season with the Dodgers in 2011. That was when the trouble started. Gordon had been lauded so much and experienced so much minor league success that he was ill-prepared for the troubles that awaited him in his second season. Gordon was aware of the expectations placed upon him, so every bit of failure was painful. And he failed a lot in 2012. After going hitless in a game, Gordon would often panic. He'd begin to doubt himself. But prospect rankings always had him believing that he was going to be given extra chances. His perceived status within the organization became a crutch. "I think a lot of times with a young player, I think they feel entitlement," said Dodgers third base coach Lorenzo Bundy, formerly Gordon's Triple-A manager at Albuquerque. "The only thing you're entitled to here is to go out there and perform. When you don't people are going to look for other people. That's the nature of the beast. This Major League Baseball, the highest level there can be, toughest game to play in the world. It's all about competition, it's all about competing." When Gordon tore ligaments in his thumb on July 4, 2012, he was hitting just .229 with a .562 OPS. Two months later, once again healthy and with a minor league rehab assigment under his belt, there was no longer room for him in the starting lineup. Star shortstop Hanley Ramirez had been acquired from the Miami Marlins while Gordon was out. Veteran Mark Ellis was already entrenched as the Dodgers second baseman. There was nowhere for him to play. It became the low point of his young career. Gordon sulked for several weeks and refused to even consider a position change that might have gotten him more playing time in a utility bench role. All those prospect rankings had him convinced that shortstop was the only place for him. Recalled to the big leagues in early September after rosters expanded, Gordon had just three plate appearances the rest of the year. "I didn't handle it well," Gordon said. "I was young. I was pissed. But then I just looked in the mirror and said, 'Dude, you have to get better. You want to play? Get better.'" He did. * * * After a recent game against the New York Mets, Gordon, now 26, spent several moments simmering in the clubhouse. The Dodgers had won the game, but Gordon had committed an embarrassing gaffe on the basepaths. He had forgotten how many outs there had been during one inning and had been tagged out at third base because he had stopped running hard. Gordon was angry and embarrassed. "That can't happen," Gordon said that night. These days Gordon, one of baseball's biggest and most pleasant surprises this season, takes nothing for granted. He knows he's one long slump away from being sent to the minors, or at least to the bench. Gordon's torrid April start (.344 average, .853 OPS) has been tempered in May (.243 average, .609 OPS), but he's become an important cog for the talent-laden Dodgers. "I'm more patient now," Gordon said. "I don't panic as much as I did in the past, to be honest. You get mature as a player, learning what you can and can't do." Gordon leads all of baseball with 30 stolen bases, and is generally a terror for opposing teams on the bases. In an era where run scoring has diminished, Gordon's ability to steal a base or take an extra base on a ball hit to the outfield becomes magnified. He's been caught stealing only three times this year while hitting at the top of the Los Angeles lineup. Your browser does not support iframes. "He's incredible," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly says of Gordon's base running abilities. "I don't care [in what era] you're playing. When he's getting on base, you don't stop him really. You just don't throw him out. It's not like it's just against guys who have slower times. He's not afraid of anybody. I think his percentages are showing that he's going to get you. For the most part, there's not a lot you can do about it. He's been patient with the guys you can't run on. But there's very few of those guys that are fast enough to keep him from running at all." Gordon's resurgence began from the moment he began to ignore the expectations that had once been put upon him. He spent the majority of 2013 in the minors. Finally, after much prodding from Bundy and the organization, Gordon accepted a position switch. He played 20 games at second base for the Triple-A Isotopes. At the end of the year, during the Dodgers' organizational meetings, it was suggested that Gordon learn to play center field in order to boost his versatility for a possible utility role in the majors. The team suggested he try the position at winter ball in the Dominican Republic. Gordon spent more than a month in center. Shortly after his return, Ellis, whose team option had been declined, signed with the St. Louis Cardinals, which left the Dodgers second base job wide open. Gordon was asked to go to Puerto Rico to play second base. He did not hesitate. "It was a grind," Gordon said. "I didn't have an offseason to be totally honest with you. I was able to get through it." Gordon beat out Cuban Alex Guerrero, who had been signed to a four-year $28 million contract in the offseason, to win the Dodgers starting second base job during spring training. After having resisted moving away from shortstop, Gordon found the transition to second base had revitalized him. "You don't have to be everywhere," Gordon said of playing second base. "It's just better comfort-wise, to be honest with you." Scouts began to notice that spring that Gordon appeared more relaxed at second base. Your browser does not support iframes. "He's starting to learn what he is," said one American League team scout. "He had confidence and swagger to his game for the first time in his career." His approach at the plate also changed. Prior to the 2013 season, Gordon, always rail thin, gained about 10 pounds to try to help his game. The problem was that he really didn't know what to do with that weight. Being stronger only encouraged him to try to hit the ball farther. In his 38 games with the Dodgers last year, Gordon had a career-low 1.63 ground ball to fly ball ration, an almost inconceivable number for a player whose strength is his speed. This year, his GB/FB rate is a career-high 2.97. "For me the biggest thing with Dee's offense has been getting the ball out of the air," said one National team scout. "When I saw him in the Dominican Winter League last year you could tell he was really focused on getting on top of the ball and keeping it on the ground. He's always had the type of speed that if he hits it on the ground anywhere, he's got a chance for a hit and anything that falls in the outfield always has the potential for extra bases. One of his bigger issues in the past was he was hitting too many fly-balls, which given his lack of power, were usually easy outs." The National League scout also noticed that Gordon is now standing closer to home plate during his at-bats. Teams are more reluctant to pitch him inside for fear of hitting him. Any trip to first base for Gordon could turn troublesome for opposing teams because of his speed. Standing closer to home plate also sets up Gordon to see his favorite pitch on the outside corner of the plate. This year, he's swung and missed at an outside pitch only three times. "I don't miss that," Gordon said. "That's my pitch." The keys for Gordon's longterm success will be for him to handle the adjustment teams are making, and for him to handle the grind of a long season. Gordon gained 10-15 more pounds this offseason so his body will not wear down. "I thought gaining more weight would help," Gordon said. "I can say that it kind of has." Gordon has always had proper perspective in his personal life. His mother, who had separated from Tom Gordon, was shot and killed by her boyfriend when Dee was just six years old. After his mother's death, Gordon was sent back to live with his father and grandmother. To this day, he fondly remembers everything he can in those six years he spent with his mother.

While in Albuquerque last year, Bundy saw a gradual change in Gordon's demeanor. His bitterness at being sent down to the minors had been replaced by a determination to return to the majors. Gordon did not want to be a minor leaguer. He offered to do what it took to get back to the Dodgers. Gordon, the former top prospect, had been humbled. All the changes he had made to his attitude and to his baseball game have finally resulted in him being a major league regular once again. But Gordon refuses to acknowledge that he's attained any type of success yet. Anything can happen in a long season, he says. But the people around him have noticed a difference in him. "Dee Gordon is having fun on the baseball field again," Bundy said. "And that's the most important thing."

Letter of Fr. Jerzy Kraj | Pope Francis' Visit EN EL Home Program The Visit Pope's Biography Video & Photos Meditations by Archbishop Selim Sfeir Prayer to St. Barnabas Holy Mass GSP stadium Latins in Cyprus Maronites in Cyprus Orthodox Church of Cyprus Volunteer Media & News Contact us More Use tab to navigate through the menu items. Letter of Fr. Jerzy Kraj Dear priests, consecrated people and all our beloved faithful of Cyprus. One of the challenges which Pope Francis poses to priests, religious and indeed to all of us is to go to the “peripheries”! Pope Francis himself continues to go to the peripheries, and we have the duty to follow his call. While many big countries in Europe are waiting for a visit from him, he is coming to Cyprus, which is on the periphery of Europe. As you know, with great joy but also trepidation, we welcomed the news of the visit of Pope Francis to Cyprus from 2nd to 4th December. The main event of the visit of the Holy Father is the solemn Mass which will be celebrated on the morning of Friday, 3rd December at 10:00 am. For this Holy Mass the GSP stadium in Nicosia, a large and comfortable space, was chosen because it is a sign of a big welcome to all and everyone who wish to pray with Pope Francis. Usually, you go to the stadium to watch a football match or listen to a concert. This time will be different. We are transforming a stadium into a Cathedral, open to all. All of us, Catholics and Christians of Cyprus, are having the largest stadium on the island for a true cathedral under the open sky, where, together with Pope Francis, we want to glorify, thank and implore God for the peace and joy of the Gospel. This big stadium is a possibility for us to bring everyone, so that each place is filled. As in the parable in the Gospel (Mathew 22,9) “So go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.” Here our mission to the peripheries begins. There are a lot of people around us in our community who are not active. This is the time to invite them! Make them part of the great Catholic and Christian family. Time is short and “the workers are few”. He asks you to go and be missionaries in the suburbs. Please inform and invite the greatest number of people to Mass with the Pope through all possible channels (social media, calls, personal meetings). There are seats for everyone, so even the elderly can be accommodated. For people with disabilities there are also places prepared with all the facilities. To prepare this big Eucharistic Event, a celebration of the love of God, we need your active cooperation as a choir member and especially your help as a volunteer. Also we are counting on your joyful and generous contribution in any way you can. Here are some practical indications for those who want to participate in the Holy Mass with the Pope at the GSP stadium in Nicosia. Everyone must register their name (with telephone number) in one of our parishes (Latin or Maronite). We do not have the possibility to do it by phone, but someone can do the collection of names among friends and acquaintances (for example through ‘WhatsApp groups’) and bring this list to the parish to be added to the list of participants. Everyone will be given a participation ticket with the sector assigned in the stands. Remember to bring with you the Covid “Safe Pass” if you are already vaccinated or if not you will have to present a negative rapid test. For all who come we are preparing a small bag containing the booklet for the celebration, a cap, scarf, distinctive sign, keyring, and flags (Cypriot and Vatican) which will be distributed together with the ticket (a contribution will be asked to cover the expenses). You can get to the stadium with your own cars, but we recommend that you choose the buses that will be made available to you (for a small contribution) from all the cities on the island. In December the weather can be cloudy, so we recommend that you bring a raincoat and umbrella. To be updated with news about the distribution of tickets, bus transportation and other important issues please follow the website of Pope Francis’ visit to Cyprus: https://www.cypruspapalvisit.info and Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/papalvisittocyprus. Our website is offering some material as well for our spiritual journey (Letter of the Latin Patriarch, HB Pierbattista Pizzaballa, homilies of HE Salim Sfeir, Maronite archbishop, nice videos, ecc.) Let me conclude with some words from our prayer to Saint Barnabas composed for this occasion and which I strongly recommended that you add to your daily prayers. May the visit of Pope Francis strengthen us to joyfully go forth to love and serve the Lord and to proclaim Christ’s name to all those we encounter, “comforting each other in faith”. ​ Fr.

(CNN) "Serious plans for explosions" forced the evacuation of a stadium in Hannover, Germany, on Tuesday night before a Netherlands-Germany soccer match, the police chief for Germany's Lower Saxony region told Germany's public broadcaster NDR. Chief Volker Kluwe told NDR that authorities "had concrete intelligence that someone wanted to set off an explosive device inside the stadium." The two tips forced officials to cancel the Netherlands-Germany match about 90 minutes before kickoff. "We do take this intelligence seriously. That is why we proceeded with this protocol. We did not take this decision lightly, but it was in accordance with the seriousness of the intelligence," Kluwe said of the match cancellation. However, no explosives were found at the stadium, regional Interior Minister Boris Pistorius said at a news conference Tuesday night. Later that same evening, two Air France flights headed from the United States to Paris were also diverted because of bomb threats, officials said. Both flights landed safely. German media outlets Der Spiegel and Bild Zeitung reported the tips about the soccer match came from France's intelligence agency. The French alerted German federal police to an "Iraqi sleeper cell" with plans to stage an attack. CNN has not independently confirmed the report. The German national team tweeted that the game had been canceled, and "#DieMannschaft are under police protection and have been escorted to a safe place." Authorities asked spectators to go home and not stay outside the stadium in big crowds, Kluwe said. German Chancellor Angela Merkel and at least three other top government officials had been expected to attend the match, Merkel's office said. "The decision when you call off such a match is a very difficult one. We all know what this match meant after Paris," Reinhard Rauball, the interim president of the German Soccer Association, said.

The bombers died in the explosions, as did one bystander. That was one of several terror attacks across the French capital Friday night that killed at least 129 people and wounded hundreds more. "Because of the events in Paris, we were particularly sensitive and prepared for everything," Kluwe said. "We have prepared for this kind of scenario. ...

Hannover police posted on their Facebook page Tuesday night that they were examining a suspicious item in the area of the central train station. After partially evacuating the station, police determined the item was a fake bomb left by a passenger who had fled, according to CNN affiliate ARD. Police say they are evaluating surveillance video to identify the passenger, ARD reported.

Diabetes Facts & Figures – The Future A variety of studies have been conducted to predict the future burden of diabetes in America. When viewed as a whole, consistent themes emerge: Type 2 diabetes will continue to grow at epidemic proportions, due to a population that is aging, more obese and overweight, less physically active, and more ethnically diverse. The future costs of diabetes could be catastrophic to America's health care system and way of life. It may be possible to change the curve of this epidemic if America can muster the will and the resources to treat type 2 diabetes as the serious public health threat that it is, and implement evidence-based, cost-effective diabetes prevention programs in communities across the country. A recent study by the Institute for Alternative Futures (IAF) found that 10 states in the US would bear the brunt of the projected diabetes epidemic in the next 15 years. Overall, this IAF study projects that 53.1 million Americans will have diabetes in the year 2025, representing a 63% increase from the number with diabetes today. The cost of diabetes is projected to rise to $514 billion in 2025, representing an increase of 72% from today’s figures and comparable to the entire Medicare budget for 2010. Data reported by researchers from the CDC in the journal Population Health Metrics (November 2010) showed three scenarios for projected prevalence of diabetes in the year 2050. None of these scenarios is good: Assuming low diabetes incidence, and relatively high diabetes mortality, overall prevalence of diabetes in the US population could rise from 14% in 2010 to 21% in 2050 Assuming recent increases in diabetes incidence continue, and diabetes mortality is low, then the overall prevalence of diabetes in the US population could rise from 14% in 2010 to 33% in 2050 According to a middle ground scenario, diabetes prevalence could increase from 14% in 2010 to 25-to-28% in 2050 The UnitedHealth Center for Health Reform & Modernization issued a report in November 2010, in which it projected that:

The Senate battleground remains broad and competitive, with 10 races within six percentage points, according to the second wave of data from the New York Times/CBS News/YouGov online panel of more than 100,000 respondents. The results nonetheless suggest that Republicans, who received good news in Alaska, hold an advantage in the fight for control of the Senate. They hold at least a nominal lead in eight states held by Democrats, more than the six they need to retake the chamber. The results are broadly similar to previous polls in the race. Leo, The Upshot’s Senate model, now gives the Republicans a 61 percent chance of retaking the Senate, up from 58 percent before the infusion of new data. The results are also similar to the last wave of YouGov data, in no small part because 63 percent of respondents participated in the first wave as well. Some of the shifts between the two waves of data reflect the changing opinions of those respondents, though other shifts result from the addition of new panelists and reweighting of the new sample.

FILE PHOTO: The Symantec logo is pictured on a screen June 13, 2016. REUTERS/Thomas White/Illustration/File Photo (Reuters) - Cybersecurity firm Symantec Corp (SYMC.O) is considering selling its website certification business, in a deal that could fetch more than $1 billion and extricate it from a feud with Alphabet Inc’s (GOOGL.O) Google, people familiar with the matter said on Tuesday. Google said in March that it was investigating Symantec’s failure to properly validate its certificates, which confirm that websites can be trusted. Symantec has called Google’s claims “exaggerated and misleading.” Symantec is in talks with a small number of companies and private equity firms about the potential sale, three sources said, asking not to be identified because the matter is confidential. There is no certainty that a deal will occur, the sources added. Symantec declined to comment. A representative for Google did not respond to a request for comment. Symantec acquired most of its web certification business in 2010, when it paid $1.28 billion to buy Verisign Inc’s (VRSN.O) security business. The unit has about $400 million in revenue, according to one of the sources. Symantec said in June it was reviewing a proposal by Google and other internet companies to help fix issues with its security certificates. It said it is speaking to its partners about how to minimize disruptions to customers while also “reassuring trust in Symantec certificates.” Chief Executive Officer Greg Clark has been transforming Mountain View, California-based Symantec by jettisoning slow-growth units and spending billions of dollars on acquisitions. It has been moving away from services that are more commoditized, selling its data storage business Veritas in January 2016 to private equity firm Carlyle Group LP (CG.O) for $7.4 billion. Symantec completed its $2.3 billion acquisition of LifeLock Inc in February, a move that will bolster its consumer security business. That followed the purchase of Blue Coat Inc for $4.65 billion in August 2016, which expanded its product line for large corporations.

After seven years, House Speaker Paul Ryan and President Trump announced Friday that Republican attempts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act have, at least temporarily, After seven years, House Speaker Paul Ryan and President Trump announced Friday that Republican attempts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act have, at least temporarily, been laid to rest . But that doesn’t mean that health care reform is over. Far from it. When asked Friday whether it was fair to the American people to let the ACA fall apart, as Trump has frequently implied will happen, he responded, “It’s gonna happen; there’s not much you can do about it.” In fact, there’s plenty that could be done, and whether the insurance marketplaces implode depends largely on Trump’s next moves. The insurance marketplaces, set up for people with incomes above the federal poverty line who don’t have employer-sponsored insurance, are stable in most parts of the country , according to the Congressional Budget Office, a bipartisan agency tasked with assessing the economic impact of legislation. They are, however, under duress in several states, most famously Tennessee, where 16 counties don’t have any insurers lined up to sell on the marketplaces for 2018. While there were concerns in previous years that some counties would be left without an insurer , it hasn’t yet happened. The fate of the markets in those counties and a few other states depends on what Republicans do next: Trump could use HHS to alter or undermine the law While Congress writes the bills, a lot of their interpretation and implementation is up to federal agencies. In the case of health care, that task falls on the Department of Health and Human Services, whose new secretary, Tom Price, has been a fervent opponent of the ACA. And while the law has been heavily criticized as government overreach, there’s quite a bit of flexibility written into it. HHS has already made some moves that could affect the insurance marketplaces in the future. The final days of the open enrollment period for the insurance marketplaces set up by the ACA coincided with Trump’s inauguration. HHS and the Trump administration quickly pulled advertisements promoting enrollment, ads that had been effective in previous years at getting young adults to sign up for coverage. The move appeared to dampen enrollment among this group, a typically healthier set that is key to balancing out the insurance rolls and keeping costs down It’s hard to say what effect that lower-than-expected enrollment will have on premiums directly, but the bigger problem could be the uncertainty it has created for insurers as they draft plans and premiums for next year. “There is a lot of uncertainty about how the Trump administration will run this program, and any time there’s uncertainty, insurers will increase premiums more,” said Larry Levitt, a senior vice president with the Kaiser Family Foundation, a health policy research organization. There are also so many people moving in and out of every insurance program that to keep programs up and running, new people must be enrolled each year. If the administration doesn’t keep up enrollment efforts, there could be problems down the road. HHS could also change requirements for health insurance coverage. Plans sold on the insurance marketplaces are required to cover a list of 10 services, known as essential health benefits , broad categories that include mental health, pregnancy care and prescription drugs. HHS was left to define what must be covered within those categories. Insurers must cover mental health, but must they pay for behavioral therapy for children with autism? They must provide women’s health care, but do they have to provide contraception for all women, free of co-pays? The more plans have to cover, the more they cost. The less they cover, the less useful they are to some of the people who buy them. The Obama administration largely let states decide what those essential benefits would be, but Price could make those decisions at the federal level, requiring insurers to cover fewer services. But Price could do two things now that would have huge effects on the marketplaces: He could drop a court case left over from the Obama administration, a move that would cut some subsidies to more than half of marketplace enrollees, and he could loosen the most hated part of the law , a mandate requiring most people to have coverage or pay a penalty at tax time. More than 6 million people who get insurance through the marketplaces get help paying for deductibles and co-pays, in addition to the federal help they get to pay for health insurance premiums. A federal judge determined that the subsidies were an illegal appropriation of funds . The Obama administration was fighting the ruling; if Trump’s government lets it stand, it will cost insurers millions and could upend the market. On the individual mandate, Price could weaken enforcement or redefine who is exempt, though there are some legal limitations to how far he could take those changes . Either way, the net effect would be fewer signups, particularly among young and healthy people who have less incentive to get coverage. “That’s the kind of hole you could drive a truck through,” Levitt said. Trump could also use HHS to fix the unstable markets Although Trump has been signaling that he wants to undermine the insurance marketplaces, his administration has also taken steps to shore them up. A 71-page rule released in February tightens up the requirements for enrollment in the marketplaces and includes measures that insurance companies have requested in order to prevent people from waiting to buy insurance until they have medical needs. Congress probably won’t do much of anything It seems exceedingly unlikely that congressional Republicans, who couldn’t come together to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act despite seven years of promises, will move to work on health care again in the near future. And it’s possible (though unlikely) that no one will do anything Will the insurance marketplaces fail, as Trump has repeatedly said they would? Various experts believe that the double-digit increases in premiums for 2017 would not have been repeated next year. It’s hard to say what these last few months of uncertainty will mean to insurers as they create market plans for 2018, which are due in July . Insurers are making decisions about next year’s premiums in the context of this week’s chaos. Imagine if you had to predict, right now, what the marketplace will look like next year. It would be like filling out your NCAA bracket in January. It’s easy to anticipate, however, that the uncertainty might cause premiums to be higher than they would have otherwise been, particularly if the Trump administration doesn’t send signals to insurers soon on what its intentions are with the law. Most insurance markets are stable and will continue to be, according to the Congressional Budget Office, but some, like Tennessee’s , could be in trouble without federal help.

by ) If you graduated college or just took some classes using what seemed like it was free government money, you are probably being stalked by student loan debt. Like the Uncle Ted in the bathroom…they just won’t go away and leave you alone! It turns out that 65% of Americans that graduate from college with a four year degree have student loan debt. If that isn’t alarming enough, the number has been rising. As funny as the clip above is it is no laughing matter that most young people just starting out in their work life are saddled with nearly $24,000 of student loan debt on average. Top 5 Student Loan Debt Tips Here are some ways to avert disaster with your student loan debt as you enter the workforce or even before. 1. Pay off the interest while you are in college through part time work. Don’t let the interest accrue during your university attendance, it could cost you thousands by waiting until after graduation. 2. With many reputable lenders you can agree to an auto-debit of your account to pay for student loans. Automatic draft of payments can allow you to take advantage of lower interest rates by as much as 0.5%. that one half percent may not seem like much, but it can amount to thousands of dollars saved over the life of the loan. Remember, if you take the average $24,000 in student loans and the average repayment period most American take, the savings is in the thousands. All for nothing more than making it simpler to make your payments each month. You cannot bankrupt from most student loan debts anyway so you are going to pay them, you might as well take advantage of the lower interest rates. 3. If you itemize tax deductions each year on your taxes be sure to deduct the interest you pay for student loans on your federal tax returns each year. You can deduct up to $2,500 per year from your gross income. 4. Be careful when considering student loan debt consolidation. It may not be right for your situation. Most financial matters are more related to trained behaviour than the mere numbers anyway. You could find that you win a psychological battle by paying off the smaller high interest rate balances quickly, which leaves the lowest interest rate balances for last. This approach of small wins may end up being a more wise choice. 5. Call the lender before you become delinquent! If repayment becomes difficult because of life circumstances you should not disregard your obligation to repay. You may be able to take advantage of a deferment or forbearance for a period of time while you get on your feet again. This will depend on remaining in contact with your lender.

An internal Justice Department report on the conduct of senior lawyers who approved waterboarding and other harsh interrogation tactics is causing anxiety among former Bush administration officials. H. Marshall Jarrett, chief of the department's ethics watchdog unit, the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), confirmed last year he was investigating whether the legal advice in crucial interrogation memos "was consistent with the professional standards that apply to Department of Justice attorneys." According to two knowledgeable sources who asked not to be identified discussing sensitive matters, a draft of the report was submitted in the final weeks of the Bush administration. It sharply criticized the legal work of two former top officials--Jay Bybee and John Yoo--as well as that of Steven Bradbury, who was chief of the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) at the time the report was submitted, the sources said. (Bybee, Yoo and Bradbury did not respond to multiple requests for comment.)

A Brief, Probably Opinionated, Possibly True Story of the Tree Counter Strike came from The year is 1998, and Quake 2 is the successor to Quake 1 (duh), but the mod scene, a big component to both games, was still unmatured. I personally bought Quake 2 for Team Fortress 2, but then Valve games had bought TF2 and we were left with some weird class based ctf mod with jetpacks. One mod rose particular, Action Quake 2, which had well over 300 clans in its prime (back in the day most people joined clans, it was more enjoyable). Action Quake 2 had a sort of Hollywood Theme, lights camera action, you were jumping off of buildings doing many tricks throwing knifes maybe kicking people in the head, and it was mostly round based TDM. Sound familiar? It probably doesn’t, but it had one thing that stood out. There was a tactical aspect to its trick jumping high speed madness, there was bleeding if you got shot, and the biggest: the guns were highly inaccurate for the most part if you were moving around all crazy. So I might trimp (google it) an edge and jump at you 300mph just to duck and try to burst you down with an M4. This game was really difficult to play, but really awesome, and it still has a few players today if you want to learn your nostalgia. “Frag videos, who remembers those” The year is 1999, and outcomes Half-Life, which is actually based off the Quake 2 engine, and has one really popular early beta mod out.. Counter Strike. Some of us remember the old Counterstrike, it had a lot of similarities, the weapons were similar, and it had BunnyHop just like Action Quake 2. One of the biggest differences however, is that 75% of the community couldn’t bunnyhop (Half Life bunny hopping is a messy flailing of mouse as opposed to strafe jumping). What this did was separate the community really, as two teams racing out to the middle on CS_Siege or other maps in that early beta the bunnyhop team would get there 2x as fast literally. Members of the Action Quake 2 team actually are part of the people who worked on CS, so the similarities were there it was just more consumable for the masses. But the non bunnyhop (probably noobs at the time) were on to something, and really changed the game. Slowly they restricted the bunnyhop (TFC still uses it), and it matured into what it is today. CS was bought by Valve and continued to mature, and actually scaled down in features to the less is more approach it is today. Later on, games came on to take on the Action Quake 2 persona, first there was Urban Terror (www.urbanterror.io ) which is really popular and fun and a lot more accessible, as it is a slowed down (has stamina), but still really fast and accurate (bleeding and such), interpretation of Action Quake 2. There was then Reaction Quake 3, which had a short but notable following http://www.rq3.com/ and from the looks of it might attempt to come back? This was a very accurate but not as fast (due to engine) version of Action Quake 2, and many of the top clans ended up moving from AQ2 to RQ3, as it was awesome. Then there was action half life, which wanted that general theme of lights camera action that AQ2 strived for and had a pretty cool dive feature with the dual akimbos like you were Max Payne online: http://www.moddb.com/mods/action-half-life. https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2008/05/29/3-2-1-action-half-life/ Action Half Life also has a sequel for source which was equally as good and you might get spin kicked. Action Quake 2 might have been the most influential mod to ever be released in the FPS, ever. And yet I would imagine very few people left have actually experienced it or something that mimics its experience. So I challenge everyone to download Urbanterror, try a pub, and understand smidge of what led to CS and a buncha other cool games.

A local court in Andhra Pradesh on Friday issued non-bailable arrest warrant against cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni in a case accusing him of hurting religious sentiments by appearing as Lord Vishnu in a magazine cover holding a shoe in his hands. Dhoni, who is in Australia for a limited over series, was not available for comments but his lawyer and manager said the one-day captain was never issued summons in the case. The case against Dhoni, 34, was filed by a VHP leader in Anantapur town for allegedly hurting religious sentiments of Hindus while posing as the deity in the cover of Business Today magazine in April, 2013. The magazine’s report titled ‘God of Big Deals’ was on the brand value of the former Test captain. The court of the additional judicial first class magistrate has asked police to produce Dhoni on February 25. Advocate Gopal Rao, who represented petitioner Yerraguntla Shyamsundar in court, said the court had earlier issued summons to both Dhoni and the magazine editor Chaitanya Kalbag. “While it is unknown if Kalbag received the summons, an acknowledgment was received from Dhoni. Since he did not appear before the court even after summoned, the court took a serious view and issued non-bailable arrest warrant for Dhoni,” Rao told HT over phone. Dhoni’s manager Arun Pandey, however, insisted that “Mahi was never served with summons”. PTI quoted the cricket icon’s lawyer Rajneesh Chopra as describing the warrant as “erroneous”. “Mahendra Singh Dhoni has utmost respect for the judiciary but the fact of the matter is that he has personally never received any summons with respect to the present case; therefore, the order appears to be erroneous,” Chopra said in a statement issued by Rhiti Sports, the company managing Dhoni. Last year, the Supreme Court had stayed criminal proceedings against the cricketer in another case related to the same image. The one-day World Cup winning captain retired from Tests in 2014 but continues to represent the country in the one-day and T20 formats.

In an act that would shame even the Grinch, someone is going around the Summerside neighbourhood stealing Christmas decorations. Police were called to a home on Summerside Drive on Nov. 28 following a report that a person had stolen LED projector lights, an extension cord and an outdoor timer. Surveillance footage from the home shows a silver, two-door Honda Civic pulling into the driveway at 2:20 p.m. The suspect — described as being five-foot-eight and Caucasian with short brown hair wearing a black baseball hat, jeans and a black sweater — exits the vehicle and returns moments later, carrying decorations and smoking a cigarette. Then, sometime between last Friday and Saturday, a police say someone walked up to a home in the Summerside neighbourhood, unplugged a Christmas tree located by the front door and carried it away. The Christmas tree that was stolen is described as a white, pre-lit birch tree that was decorated with silver and blue ornaments. Summerside is south of Ellerslie Road and west of 66 Street. An investigation has also been launched into thefts of delivery packages in the Silverberry neighbourhood. Police said the incident happened Thursday just before 10:30 a.m. on 34 Street between Anthony Henday Drive and Whitemud Drive. Police are unsure how many packages were stolen.

Lagavulin 16yo (+/- 2015) – Words of Whisky Home Whisky Top 10 Tasting Notes About Thijs Get In Touch Lagavulin 16yo (+/- 2015) IslayLagavulinReviewsScotland · 16 October 2015 ·1 min read Home Reviews Scotland Islay Lagavulin 16yo (+/- 2015) Thijs Klaverstijn You’d be hard pressed to find a more classic expression than the Lagavulin 16. Revered by many, and for a lot of people also one of their first ever malt whiskies. I’m not one of those people. Subtle Highland or Speyside peat I tend to love, full-on Islay peat is not so much for me (with some exceptions). Anyway, here are my thoughts. Lagavulin 16 (43%, OB, +/- 2015) Nose: Fresh peat, sal ammoniac with heather and subtle wood smoke. Some lemon but also red fruit, strawberries maybe, which I don’t come across often when nosing. Salt and pepper. Taste: Salty licorice, peat smoke, tobacco and olives. Some sweeter apples and caramel in the background. The spirit is a bit watery, but the flavours are all here. Finish: Drying ash, walnuts. Salt. The finish is very long. Rating: 86 I like this, but I don’t love it. I can see though why this would be the go-to whisky for peat enthusiasts. Pretty affordable and pretty good. Photo: Master of Malt Tags 16yoislaylagavulin Don't miss out! Sign up for my weekly newsletter and never miss a blog post from your favourite whisky blog.

For me it’s Caol Ila – something more gentle, and subtle. I’ve never quite understood why people revere the former so much! Reply Thijs @ Words of Whisky says: 19 October 2015 at 13:48 I completely agree with you on Caol Ila. I don’t have many peated whiskies at home, but for me Caol Ila is the exception to the rule. Really like what they are doing over there. And some of the indie bottlings from the early eighties are simply epic.

Minnesota's political parties are dynamic entities. That fact was vividly on display in St. Cloud Friday and Saturday, as the Republican state convention exhibited a libertarian streak wider and deeper than seen at any previous state GOP confab in the modern era. That's a change that warrants voters' notice. Many candidates advanced by this year's GOP invoke a 19th-century understanding of the rightful role of government. They hold, in the words of state Rep. Keith Downey of Edina, that "our constitutional republic has been under attack from within for nearly a century." Their emergence widens the philosophical gulf between Minnesota's major parties -- a gulf that's already proving difficult to bridge by those seeking to govern this state. Texas U.S. Rep. Ron Paul may have suspended his presidential campaign one week ago, but no state convention observer would have guessed as much. Delegates gave Paul a rousing reception Friday, chanting "President Paul" and cheering his claim that a revolution is afoot in American politics. The U.S. Senate endorsement went easily to state Rep. Kurt Bills, unknown outside legislative circles and his Rosemount district until a few months ago. His ties to Paul mattered much with the 2,175 delegates. Twelve of 13 available national delegate spots went to Paul supporters Saturday. They join the 20 Paul supporters among 24 delegates elected previously at GOP congressional district conventions. The Paul forces might have made a clean sweep Saturday, but for Paul backer Don Huizenga stepping aside to assure U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, a former presidential candidate, a seat with her state's delegation. The success of Paul's forces may surprise Minnesotans who recall that Rick Santorum won the presidential preference ballot cast at precinct caucuses Feb. 7. Paul registered 27 percent of those votes, compared with 45 percent for Santorum, who now backs presumptive nominee Mitt Romney. Romney won 17 percent of the Feb. 7 vote. But that vote was not binding. And the caucus-to-convention system of party decision-making favors activists who are highly motivated and highly organized. It's a process that worked to Paul's advantage. So did the winner-take-all rules that govern intraparty GOP elections. The result will be a heavy "constitutional conservative" imprint on Minnesota's Republican Party for at least the next two years. The platform approved Saturday spells out some of the policy positions that implies: Abolition of the Federal Reserve. Rejection of Keynesian economics, which recommends government stimulus spending during recessions. Phasing out Social Security, "while continuing to fulfill our obligation to older Americans." Moving "people on the road to self-sufficiency" in paying for health care. Ending U.S. participation in the United Nations, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. For Minnesota, the new Republican agenda goes well beyond the staples of "no new taxes" and opposition to abortion. It includes repeal of the 2007 alternative energy standards law signed by GOP Gov. Tim Pawlenty and an end to voter registration on Election Day. One speaker drew cheers at the suggestion that legislators who voted for this year's stadium bill be replaced. New blood has often arrived in tidal waves in Minnesota's political parties. Sometimes it has ebbed quickly. But voters who believe government remains a useful tool for improving people's lives should not presume that the state GOP's fascination with constitutional fundamentalism is a passing fancy. And they should ask whether a caucus-based political system that magnifies populist tides serves this state well. --------------------

Eric Zuesse The main pro-Trump news-site, Breitbart News, is getting predominantly negative reader-comments on its articles that relate to Russia and the war in Syria. Whereas the reporters who write the articles trumpet the Trump line, the leading reader-comments to those Trump-trumpeters, under “Sort by Best” (meaning that at the top are the comments that have the highest net number of up-marks from readers, which indicates that the given comment is shared by the largest number of the readership), are hostile toward Trump, and are disappointed in the site itself for its remaining pro-Trump on the given matter. For example, the April 11th article “In Trump White House, Wildcard Putin Faces First Assertive America of His Career” presents Trump as being the type of anti-Putin leader that America has long needed, so that: Neither presidents George W. Bush nor Barack Obama responded to Putin’s belligerence on the world stage with decisive action. On the contrary, both attempted to establish friendly personal relations, treating Putin as a democratic leader with no ambition beyond his borders. Trump’s foreign policy, despite months of mainstream media coverage arguing the contrary, is to treat Putin’s Russia as a rogue state until it proves otherwise by eschewing Assad. The topmost reader-comment to this particular anti-Russian article is: If throwing missiles at Syria when there are SO many different versions is assertiveness I’ll pass. I really couldn’t care what happens to women, children or men in a Country that is not so much in a Civil War as it is a Muslim Fanatics free for all. I voted for Trump to bomb ISIS, not get us involved in another regime change, and just who the hell will be the new leader some sharia happy supporter of Iran. I am thinking Trump has been suckered by the NeoCons, and Liberals of the NWO, as for listening to his daughter Ivanka and that cur Kushner NO WAY boot em both out of the White House with the rest of the Bush, Clinton, Bush Obama holdovers. Dammit Trump drain the swamp stop enlarging and enabling the swamp creatures. I voted America first, bomb ISIS and to stay the hell out of regime change, and fighting for one freaking Muslim faction and another when ALL of them want Sharia Law and the downfall of the West is absolute ignorance. The enemy of my enemy is still my GD enemy!!! The only difference between a fanatical Muslim and a moderate is the moderate cheers for the crazy ones. Responses to that comment are, in turn, likewise hostile toward Trump. One is “We did not vote for Israel First.” Another: “Jared Cuckner needs Soros financing he is the snake. Trump needs to wake up about his son nlaw.” Another: “The guy that turned everything around was McMaster. A Saudi loving closet Muslim in the mold of John Brennan.” Another: “Wow this article was like reading something straight from M[ain]S[tream]M[edia]. How suddenly has Breitbart gone the full Russophobia route on us.” And, yet another striking example of this phenomenon (the turn against Trump and against the Breitbart site by disappointed Trump-voters), was discussed in my April 9th article, “Trump Abandons His Base, Goes toward Nuclear War”, which opened: “The 48,000+ reader-comments thus far at Stephen Bannon’s Breitbart News, to their announcement on April 6th that Trump had invaded Russia’s ally Syria with missiles, are overwhelmingly along the lines of ‘This isn’t what I voted for.’” Apparently, they thought that by voting for Trump, they wouldn’t get just a different version of Hillary Clinton, which is what Trump is turning out to be on issues of war-and-peace (among other things). ————— Investigative historian Eric Zuesse is the author, most recently, of They’re Not Even Close: The Democratic vs. Republican Economic Records, 1910-2010, and of CHRIST’S VENTRILOQUISTS: The Event that Created Christianity.

TORONTO — The dogs of summer were aplenty at the box office in the early weeks of Hollywood’s biggest movie season — and even a raft of superheros couldn’t save Cineplex Inc. One failed movie followed another during the April to June film slate and that left Canada’s largest movie exhibitor with more empty seats in its theatres. "We thought it was, from our perspective, a lot lighter," chief executive Ellis Jacob said Thursday of the second-quarter results where profits dropped 72%. It’s not the kind of results the company looks for in the weeks that typically mark the warm-up to a bombastic summer where eager moviegoers are supposed to show up in droves. Such ambitious prospects were hard to find this year as duds like the latest instalment of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," the critically panned "Alice Through the Looking Glass" and underperforming comedies "The Boss" and "Central Intelligence" quashed the hopes of another record-breaking season. "You name it, there were a lot of titles," Jacob said of the flops which knocked Cineplex’s profits down to $7.2 million versus $25.5 million the same time last year. It was always going to be difficult for Cineplex to outdo its early summer performance of 2015 when the roster of marquee superheros in "Avengers: Age of Ultron" stole the show. Other films on that summer’s slate became some of the biggest box-office draws of all time, including the carnivorous relics in "Jurassic World" and the buff street racers of "Furious 7." Together they gave hope to Hollywood executives that audiences were thirsty to fork out money to engage with familiar specimens on the big screen. This summer’s "Captain America: Civil War" didn’t encourage quite as much enthusiasm. While the action flick delivered the biggest percentage of business for Cineplex, it fell short of Marvel’s "Ultron" ticket sales last year. Other superhero showdowns in "X-Men: Apocalypse" and "Batman v Superman" proved that even timeless franchises can be hurt by weak reviews and poor audience response. Overall attendance at Cineplex fell 14.4% to 16.9 million patrons for the three months ended June 30. Viewers spent more, however, as Cineplex noted that concession spending grew 4.4% to $5.74 per patron. Cineplex has also convinced more people to upgrade their tickets to premium-priced theatres, which helped boost box-office revenue to $9.62 per patron, an increase of 17 cents. The exhibitor has been aggressively bulking up alternatives to the traditional night at the movies — with each experience coming at a higher ticket price. The company’s VIP theatres serve alcohol and offer a broader food assortment while a new offering called Barco Escape presents an ultra-widescreen experience that immerses the viewer in the film. Cineplex’s next foray into new technology will be the company’s first 4DX auditorium, which augments films with piped-in scents and environmental effects like wind, snow and bubbles. Set to open in downtown Toronto, the project was delayed from a summer launch after the exhibitor discovered it would require a different type of city permit for a movie theatre with motion. A new opening date is set for later this year, Jacob said.

NEW YORK CITY — Disgraced former Democratic congressman and infamous sexter Anthony Weiner is reportedly being shunned by his Hillary Clinton-supporting neighbors, who blame him for Clinton’s loss in November. Weiner’s sexting antics became a major political issue for Clinton in October when then-FBI Director James Comey announced that he was re-opening the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server. The investigation was reopened after classified emails were found on Weiner’s computer — apparently forwarded to him by wife and Clinton adviser Huma Abedin — during their investigation into Weiner’s alleged sexting of an underage girl. Clinton has blamed Comey’s letter as a contributing factor for her defeat to President Trump — one of a laundry list of items she blames for her loss. Now, it seems, Clinton supporters in deep-blue New York City have internalized that message and are shunning Weiner. According to the New York Post, his Clinton-supporting neighbors now blame him for her loss. “Nobody speaks to him. He is truly ostracized,” a source told the Post. “People won’t even get on the elevator with him.” The Post reports that Weiner — whose sexting forced him to resign his seat in Congress in 2011 after it was reported on by the late Andrew Breitbart — is frequently seen in his apartment tower’s gym wearing earbuds. The Post reports that Weiner will be sentenced in September for sharing obscene photos with a minor, with prosecutors pushing for a sentence in a plea agreement of between 21 and 27 months.
