FAIRBURN, Georgia (CNN) -- In a south Atlanta neighborhood lined with palatial homes and manicured lots, the Hicks family was living out its American dream.
Breylan and Terese Hicks play with their sons Bryce, 3, and Jordan, 2.
But like many Americans, that dream was interrupted when they almost lost their home to foreclosure.
Terese, a firefighter, and her husband Breylan, a police sergeant, had always dreamed about owning a spacious house in the suburbs.
When they began their search, the young family was living in a south Atlanta neighborhood. They grew concerned and decided to move when crime in the area started to pick up.
Although they didn't think they could afford their 'dream home,' they started searching in an affluent area just south of the airport and across the street from the 190-room estate owned by famed heavyweight boxer Evander Holyfield.
"I've always been looking in this subdivision, but never thought we could afford a home here," Terese Hicks said.
After discussing their financials with a mortgage broker, the family was presented with a deal and payments they could afford. The interest-only, adjustable rate loan sounded good at the time. And since they were not first-time homebuyers, they thought they knew what they were getting into. Terese Hicks figured they could always refinance before the interest rates were adjusted.
Soon, the family settled in their seven-bedroom, five-bathroom plantation-style home with a pool.
'Black in America 2' This July, Soledad O'Brien investigates what African- Americans are doing to confront the most challenging issues facing their communities. You'll meet people who are using ground-breaking solutions in innovative ways to transform the black experience.
July 22 & 23, 8 p.m. ET see full schedule »
It all seemed like a dream come true, until the couple learned the interest rate on their loan would readjust in just six months, making the loan a short three-year ARM. The mother of two, who handles the family's finances, had wrongly assumed that their loan was a five-year ARM.
The news couldn't have come at a worse time. Breylan was unable to work because of a serious back injury, and the family's income took a hit. They were also paying mortgages on vacant rental properties when they couldn't find tenants because of the housing crisis.
To make matters worse, Terese Hicks, a city employee, had to take a 10-percent pay cut in her salary, and the family was burdened with a mountain of medical bills for numerous surgeries their 6-month-old son Jordan underwent to treat a birth-related medical condition.
Struggling to pay the new adjusted mortgage, Terese Hicks appealed to their mortgage company, Homecomings which is owned by GMAC, for help.
"They said there was nothing they could do about the rate readjusting, so I said let's weather the storm and see what we can do," she said.
She continued to make regular payments for all of their mortgages in order to maintain their good credit. But within a year, they were in the eye of the storm and their savings dropped to around $75.
Desperate, the Hickses asked their mortgage company again for help. But they were told there was nothing they could do because they were current on all their payments.
The Hickses decided they had no other choice but to "play the game" and stop paying their mortgage, even if it meant damaging their hard-earned credit.
Homecomings acknowledges that the guidelines for modification at that time made little sense, but they were caught in the middle of a "symptomatic" relationship between working with third-party investors and homeowners.
"In order for us to have been able to modify the loan we needed to get permission on the investor on whose behalf we are servicing the loan," said Jeanine Bruin of GMAC. "It's a balancing act, what's in the best interest of the customer and the investor."
At the time of the Hickses request for a loan modification, investors backing the loans required some proof of financial difficulty. Things have changed since then, including new government concessions geared towards helping homeowners, explained Bruin.
"The proof was in the pudding," said Bruin, "You had to be late in your payment to prove hardship."
The Hicks family's story is one that Marcia Griffin, founder of HomeFree-USA, has heard all too often.
"We advise homebuyers not to talk to a realtor or lender before we can meet with them for a Mortgage Profile Meeting," said Griffin. "Within 30 minutes the client will know if they can fly, run, walk or crawl."
HomeFree-USA is a nonprofit organization devoted to homeownership development and financial empowerment. It's one of several national nonprofit organizations that offer mortgage assistance and home ownership counseling. The Neighborhood Assistance Corp. of America and the National Urban League offer community advocacy programs geared toward counseling lower- and middle-income families who are purchasing or refinancing their homes.
With offices in Washington and Atlanta, HomeFree-USA's clientele is mostly minority borrowers. During the recent housing crisis, Griffin says people of color have become "easy prey" because they often don't know the right questions to ask about subprime and ARM loans. Some may find her no-nonsense attitude a bit difficult to swallow.
"You cannot buy a house without any money, and you cannot buy a house with poor credit," cautioned Griffin.
As an African-American, Griffin believes she's the right messenger to help financially empower the African-American community.
Griffin believes families like the Hicks could have qualified for a better, less risky loan and should have been better informed about the terms of their loan.
If the Hicks family had known sooner about HomeFree-USA's program they might have been able to save their good credit rating and a lot of aggravation. It was only after receiving notice that their home was going up for auction that Terese Hicks learned about HomeFree-USA.
She contacted the Atlanta office and within a few days there was a resolution. The Hicks family learned that they qualified for President Obama's new homeownership assistance program. The program offered institutionalized loan modifications for people who could prove they were suffering economic hardship.
With a low interest rate locked in for the next five years, the family was able to keep the home and pay an affordable monthly mortgage.
Griffin hopes other homebuyers can learn from the Hickses' situation and seek out an advocate early in the process of refinancing or modifying a loan -- before they are caught in a financial storm.
"People don't know where to go and who to talk to," says Griffin. "They are suffering in silence."

We’ve known for a while that front-end asset and dependency management is a huge use-case for npm and a big driver of Node.js adoption in general. But how big, exactly? It’s a hard question to answer. The list of most-downloaded packages on npm is not very helpful: packages like async, minimist and request are the bread-and-butter packages that are depended upon by thousands of other packages, so of course they get installed and downloaded all the time as part of the installations of those packages.
A more interesting and revealing question is: what packages do people explicitly install? By which we mean, how many times did somebody (or some robot) actually run the command npm install thispackage ? We recently started plugging our log data into Jut, which has made it easy and quick to answer these questions for the first time. The resulting list of the top 50 explicitly-installed npm packages is very different and very interesting. 32% of the packages in the top 50 (and 50% of the actual downloads) are front-end tools or frameworks, with Grunt, Bower and Gulp leading the pack (mobile is also a huge use-case, and we’ll be talking about it in a later blog post). Plus, usage of all these packages is growing steadily:
The other way we know front-end is a huge use-case is that we get a lot of questions (and issue reports) from users of npm and web developers about how best to use npm to manage client-side dependencies. These questions often have some incorrect assumptions that are strange to us, so let’s be big and bold about refuting them:
1. “npm is only for CommonJS!”
Not true. npm would like to be the package manager for JavaScript, so if it’s JavaScript related, the npm registry is a good place to put it. Node.js provides a CommonJS-esque module environment, but npm has no feelings on the matter.
2. “npm is only for server-side JavaScript!”
Also not true. Your package can contain anything, whether it’s ES6, client-side JS, or even HTML and CSS. These are things that naturally turn up alongside JavaScript, so put them in there.
npm’s code of conduct defines a very short list of things we don’t think are appropriate to put in packages (TLDR: don’t use us as your database, or your media server) but if in doubt, just ask us on Twitter or email and we’ll be happy to weigh in.
npm’s philosophy
npm’s core value is a desire to reduce friction for developers. Our preferred way to do this is by paving the cowpaths. That is to say: we don’t like to tell you what to do. We like to find out what you’re doing, and then get the obstacles out of your way. If lots of people are doing different things, we try to avoid picking a winner until it’s obviously the best.
So, when it comes to front-end packages, where is the friction, and what are the cowpaths?
Front-end pain points
In addition to GitHub issues and users on IRC, Twitter, conferences and meetups, we’ve also spoken directly to developers on some of the bigger frontend packages like Angular and Ember (both of which are also in the top 50). They didn’t all agree on solutions but their pain points were roughly in common. Let’s look at them, and then talk about how to tackle them:
1. node_modules isn’t arranged the way front-end packages need it to be
This is a pretty obvious problem. The node_modules folder is where npm puts packages by default, to take advantage of the Node.js module loading semantics. Depending what packages you install, packages end up in different places in the tree. This works great for Node, but HTML and CSS, for better or worse, generally expect things to be in one location, like /static/mypackage . There are workarounds for this to be sure, but no first-class solution yet.
2. Front-end dependencies have different conflict-resolution needs
One of the joys of the Node module loader is that it allows you to have multiple, incompatible versions of the same module present at the same time, and the one of the joys of npm is that it puts these versions into the right places so that the version you were expecting gets loaded where you expected it. This goes a long way towards eliminating “dependency hell” and is one of the reasons Node’s “many small modules” pattern is so practical and so popular.
But front-end dependencies simply don’t work this way. If you load two versions of jQuery one will “win”. If you load two versions of the Bootstrap CSS framework they will both apply simultaneously and wreck your styling. In the future, new developments in HTML like web components and Shadow DOM may help resolve these problems, but at the moment, front-end dependencies can conflict. How do we recognize and handle that gracefully?
3. Maintaining multiple package manifests is annoying
The solution to the previous problems has been to create additional registries for front-end packages, but this has created a situation where a single project must have a package.json, a bower.json, a component.json, and so on, and edit them all every time even a minor update happens. Like all data duplication, this is tedious and error-prone.
4. Finding browser-compatible packages is a pain
npm is the registry for JavaScript, but at the moment most of what’s in the registry is Node.js. Some of those modules work when adapted for clients using modules like browserify, but some of them don’t. At the moment there’s no way to easily find out which do and which don’t without trying them out.
Front-end solutions
With those four problems in mind, let’s talk about how we can solve them.
The final problem mentioned is the easiest to tackle, and we have already started laying the groundwork for the solution: ecosystems.
Ecosystems are searchable subsets of the registry, defined by programmatically filtering all the packages in the registry according to some criteria like “works in a browser” or “runs on Windows” or “is compatible with Express” or a million other possibilities. Once launched, one ecosystem will definitely be “browserify compatible”, and other definitions of “client-side friendly” will definitely be implemented as well. We’re really optimistic that this will be a great solution, which leaves us with the first three, harder problems.
Client-side package installation and dependency resolution
The third problem – multiple sets of package metadata – is a side-effect of solutions to the first two. People have written third-party tools to solve the problems of installation and dependency resolution for client-side packaging, and while doing so they have often created their own independent package registries and metadata formats. There are a whole bunch of these solutions, each with their own pros and cons. But, as you can see from our usage data the most popular solution by far is Bower. So with apologies to the great ideas in the other package managers, we’re going to focus on what Bower does.
Bower’s solution
Bower can install packages by name, from Git URLs, or from arbitrary HTTP URLs, just like npm. Unlike npm, they are all installed into a single, flat directory structure under bower_components , e.g. if backbone requires underscore , bower install backbone puts both backbone and underscore into bower_components directly. This means referring to a component from a web app is very simple, because it will always be installed in the same place, unlike npm, where your exact install path can vary.
This flat package structure means that if you attempt to install two incompatible versions of the same library – say, jQuery 1.11.1 and 2.1.1 – they attempt to install to the same location, and conflict. If this happens, Bower asks you to manually select which one you prefer, and can optionally persist this selection to bower.json . This is nondeterministic, in that it relies on a human decision, so two people installing the same packages can end up with different sets of packages. But once you persist your selections to bower.json it is consistent – anybody installing your project will get the same packages.
The user experience is not as good as Node land, where conflicts can be resolved without user intervention. However, it addresses the concerns of front-end developers and clearly works well enough.
Reducing friction without picking a winner yet
We don’t want to get ahead of ourselves. While Bower is clearly popular, there are a lot of other packaging solutions out there right now. Browsers continue to evolve rapidly, so it doesn’t seem to us that now is the right time to bless a single way of handling front-end packaging. This is where the strategy we previously outlined in the npm command-line interface roadmap comes in.
The plan for the npm CLI is to modularize it into discrete pieces that can be used independently and programmatically, not just as part of the npm client. The underlying goal is to make it possible for other people to write tools that re-use the parts of npm that work for them, and be able to implement their own solutions for the parts that don’t, without turning npm into a gigantic ball of configuration options, switches, and lifecycle hooks.
The exact design of a modularized CLI isn’t finalized, but the big pieces would obviously include:
a API for downloading packages from the registry a “cache” API that can store, read and unpack packages locally an installer API that places packages into your project in the right location
It’s pretty clear from what we’ve already said that any front-end package manager would probably want to use parts 1 and 2 and re-implement 3.
Building your own front-end package management using npm
If you were to build the ideal front-end package management system today, what would that look like?
Here’s the medium-term future of client-side package management as we see it:
1. Don’t run your own registry, use ours
This isn’t (just) self-interest: the feedback we get from literally everybody else running package registries right now is that they don’t want to do it anymore. It’s expensive, difficult and time-consuming to maintain the kind of uptime, performance, and user support that is required. And in any case, “hosting packages” is not the problem that client-side package managers are trying to solve. If it’s JavaScript-related, host it in npm. Once they are available, use ecosystems to create “mini-registries” within the global one, complete with custom search indexing and display characteristics.
2. Use package.json for metadata
If your tool needs metadata to make it work, put it in package.json. It would be rude to do this without asking, but we’re inviting you to do it, so go ahead. The registry is a schemaless store, so every field you add is on an equal footing to all the others, and we won’t strip out or complain about new fields (as long as they don’t conflict with existing ones).
We realize this runs the risk of creating a jumble of incompatible metadata, so be reasonable: resist the temptation to grab a generic field name like “assets” or “frontend”. Use a label specific to your application, such as “mymanager-assets” or “mymanager-scripts”. If in the future we decide to more explicitly support your functionality and give it a generic field, it’s easy to maintain backwards-compatibility with the old name.
3. Use our cache module
Unpacking, storing and caching packages is a surprisingly complicated problem at scale. Especially if you are using our registry, once it becomes available, you should be using our cache module. This will save you effort, time, and bandwidth.
4. Write your own front-end semantics
This is where your use-case differs from npm’s Node-centric behaviour, so this is the only bit you should need to write yourself. Even then, we should have some handy modules that will help you out. You could do like Bower does, and download and install front-end packages into a totally different folder and handle dependencies separately. Or you could get npm to install everything into node_modules and use a post-install or a run-time hook to resolve dependencies, or some combination of those strategies. We’re not sure the best way to go, which is why we want to encourage experimentation here.
When can I start doing this stuff?
This is always the next question once we explain this plan. The best answer is: probably next year, sometime. The work necessary to get npm there as a program has already started, but npm Inc’s first mission has to be becoming a self-sustaining entity, which is why we’re concentrating on releasing private packages first, in early 2015. After that our likely next focus will be growing the usefulness of the registry itself, and that’s where client-side packaging comes in.
What can I do right now?
It’s all well and good saying we’re going to support this stuff, but you have this problem right now! So what can you do immediately, starting today?
1. Use our registry
There’s no reason not to. It’s fast, it’s got 99.99% uptime, and it’s free for open-source projects and always will be.
2. Use package.json for metadata
Again, no reason not to. It’s your package, describe it how you want. Try to avoid duplicating data (don’t make your own “name” field) and avoid generic names, but otherwise: have at it. If you think what you’re trying to do with package.json is particularly weird or complicated, we are always available on IRC, Twitter and email if you want to run the idea past us first.
3. Tag your packages
The npm “keywords” field is somewhat under-used right now, and can be used to unambiguously claim membership or compatibility with a specific ecosystem, even before they exist. For example, I tagged a package “ecosystem:hapi” and you can search for it by that tag. This obviously isn’t as good as a real ecosystem because the automatic validation isn’t there, but it’s better than ambiguous keywords.
4. Use lifecycle scripts, and browserify
It’s not a perfect solution, but we think there is merit to exploring the idea of managing client-side assets installed by npm using lifecycle scripts. You could for instance have a “postinstall” script that moves packages installed by npm into a flat structure, and queries about dependency resolution. It’s by no means perfect, but if you’re desperate for a solution right now, we’re interested to see what you can come up with using these, and your pain points will inform the work we do in getting out of your way.
We also think browserify is amazing and under-utilized, and an end-to-end solution that worked with it automatically at install time is a really, really interesting idea (check out browserify’s sweet handbook for really great docs on how to use it effectively).
Hang in there
Front-end developers want to stop using multiple package managers. Registry owners are tired of running their registries. The current support in npm for front-end packaging isn’t good enough. We know, we agree, and we’re committed to making things better. npm loves you, front-enders, and we care about your use cases. We build our own website using npm, and have the same pain points. So keep giving us feedback and ideas. We’re working on it.
There will be a winner, eventually
One final point we think it’s important to make clear: we hope that a solution emerges that is so obvious and easy to use that we can “bless” it and either build it into or bundle it as part of npm. When we do that, we don’t want people to think we pulled a bait-and-switch where we claimed there would be an ecosystem and instead we picked a winner (we’ve seen that go wrong at other companies). There is going to be a winner: we just don’t know what it looks like yet.
If you have strong feelings about what that solution should be, building a solution that works and people use is ten thousand times more persuasive than writing a long comment on a GitHub issue about it, and also super-useful to everyone in the Node community. So go forth and build solutions, and we’ll be watching closely. | positive |
Was police provocation behind the stand-off between law enforcers and Occupy protesters in Oakland, where over 400 people were detained on Saturday night? Witnesses insist no order to disperse preceded the mass arrests.
The peaceful rally last Saturday turned into a violent clash, with protesters throwing stones at police and officers answering with tear gas grenades. In the end, law enforcement brutally beat the rioters, with over 400 arrested, on charges of disobeying commands to disperse and vandalism.
On Sunday, Mayor Jean Quan of Oakland was petrified to see the results of the assault on City Hall. Everything made of glass was smashed, documents spilled over the filthy floors, and graffiti covered the walls of the Hall. Reportedly, a US national flag had been burnt.
“Stop using Oakland as a playground,” the Mayor called on the activists, condemning the movement's tactics as “a constant provocation of the police with a lot of violence toward them.”
Demonstrations have already cost the city in already grave financial circumstances another $5 million.
The mayor said now the Occupy movement members have no excuse for their behavior.
After the arrests, Occupy Oakland accused police of unlawful actions because the protesters were not given an opportunity to disperse. In turn, police say the people that gathered in front of City Hall did so with “the intent of unlawfully entering” the Mayor’s office.
So goes the official version of events.
But reading the reports of those who were actually there, and getting into details of that violent night portrays a more complicated picture than that of reckless protesters and law-keeping police.
Witnesses say the violent assault on City Hall never actually happened. Protesters simply entered the building after massive arrests police made when the activists failed to occupy an abandoned building.
“I do not know how, but they opened the front door to [the] City Hall and occupied the building. Opened, as in no window smashing. The move was not meant to be an occupation but more of a show of solidarity to the 300 arrested protesters down the street,” says user baked420 who shared his experience on the US social network Reddit.
The whole action on Saturday started as an attempt to “move-in” to a large abandoned building and turn it into a political and social center to coordinate the Occupy movement, Sara Flounders told RT. With Occupy encampments banned across the country, the activists just do not have a place to convene, while the initiative has never stopped growing.
The police had circled the building meant for occupation before activists arrived. But after several fences were taken down in anger and tear gas smoked, only a few arrests were made.
The 400+ detentions were still to take place an hour later, as the activists streamed their march into other parts of Oakland. At that point, police simply stopped the march, declared it “unlawful assembly” and arrested those they chose, without giving any loud warning to disperse or actually offering any exit route.
“Tonight's mass arrest occurred without a dispersal order. No law was broken. The only order given was: "You are under arrest. Submit to your arrest," writes baked420.
Doubts arise about how lawful this mass arrest is: police detained hundreds of people for the actions of several dozen, away from the actual scene and at a different time. Nevertheless, those arrested were charged under CA Penal Code 409 that deals with misdemeanor and riots.
In this light, police actions should be considered in regard to the First Amendment, which provides the right to peaceful assembly, point out the activists.
“Contrary to their own policy, the Oakland Police Department [OPD] gave no option of leaving or instruction on how to depart. These arrests are completely illegal, and this will probably result in another class-action lawsuit against the OPD,” says a release from the group.
Robert Wohl from the Occupy DC action team told RT that it is shocking and “horrifying to see what is coming out of Oakland but it is hardly surprising.”
“I think you have to recognize the specifics of the Oakland police department,” he said. “They are known as one of the most violent and repressive in the country. They’ve murdered people, they’ve been using violent means on the protesters from the beginning there. Oakland has become a flashpoint because I think it has exposed how militarized American police have become in recent years.”
Kevin Zeese, the director of ItsOurEconomy campaign believes that people need to be very skeptical when they see scenes of violence or property damage ignited by the protesters.
“We can’t tell when these acts of property damage occur or something like burning the American flag occurs whether that is something actually instigated by a provocateur or whether it is by the campers,” he said. “This has been a non-violent movement for the most part.” | positive |

Form checks were the bane of my existence as a first-year capital markets associate. Reg S-K, Reg S-X, 10-Ks, 10-Qs…there were so many concepts I didn’t understand that I needed an accounting dictionary to slog my way through them. The memory of anxiety-ridden, form-checking nights stirred recently, when I was working on the form checks video as part of Hotshot’s Securities Offerings topic. As a junior associate, I would have killed for that video. The Securities Offerings topic has around 20 other videos, each one a life preserver to an anxious young lawyer.

It’s digital learning, so legal education has finally caught up with the rest of the world. Need to quickly learn how to change a flat tire? Go to YouTube. Itching to hear that random 80s song?

After Spending Time As Surveillance Subjects, Intelligence Oversight Committee Suddenly Performing Some Oversight
from the we'll-get-to-the-bottom-of-this-thing-that-was-only-supposed-to-happen-to-ot dept
Once again, it appears the only way to make our nation's intelligence oversight committees care about surveillance is to include them in the "fun."
Fervent surveillance apologist Dianne Feinstein had zero fucks to give about the steady stream of leaks until it became apparent that the CIA was spying on her staffers while they put together the Torture Report. Likewise, many members of the House Intelligence Committee couldn't be bothered to care much about domestic surveillance until they, too, were "inadvertently" included in the NSA's dragnet.
Suddenly, it's time to start caring about the NSA's broad powers.
The U.S. House Intelligence Committee will consider whether new safeguards are needed for handling communications intercepted by the National Security Agency that involve U.S. lawmakers or other Americans, the top Democrat on the panel said on Wednesday.
Attempting to prevent the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board from doing its job; and
Pushing a clean reauthorization of Section 215 -- an effort he only dropped because he couldn't rustle up enough support.
Yes, these legislators are unhappy their phone calls with foreign officials might have been collected on the regular by the nation's foremost interceptor of communications. And, in what is certainly viewed as largesse by this committee, the proposed rules (whatever they are) will be extended to non-elected Americans.The Office of the Director of the National Intelligence further clarified the proposed changes discussed during the closed-door briefing by declining to comment on the "classified" proceedings.One thing is clear, though. Changes will be happening, presumably to further protect the content of legislators' phone calls from the NSA, or at the very least, toughen up minimization procedures. The official statement from the Committee appends "all Americans" after an ellipsis ("") so the smart money is on trickle-down surveillance protection. Presumably, we'll all be apprised of any additional protections on a need-to-know basis.Heading up this new-found enthusiasm for small-batch surveillance reform is Devin Nunes, the Chairman of the Intelligence Committee. His previous efforts on behalf of Americans and their civil liberties include:So, that's the champion fighting against abusive spying and he's seemingly only interested becausestuff might have gotten caught in the dragnet.

— Two inmates who remained at large after breaking out of a California jail more than a week ago have been arrested, Orange County sheriff’s officials said Saturday.
Jonathan Tieu, 20, and Hossein Nayeri, 37, were in the custody of the San Francisco Police Department, the Orange County sheriff’s department said on its Twitter feed. A news conference was scheduled for noon.
Officers were flagged down just before 9 a.m. Saturday morning in the Park District in San Francisco regarding a suspicious person and a vehicle that matched the description of a stolen van that had been linked with the fugitives, according to San Francisco Police Media Relations.
Upon arriving on scene, officers located a man matching Nayeri’s description at Waller and Stanyan Streets, where a foot pursuit
ensued around Kezar Stadium and the Park District Police Station, police said.
The suspect, later identified as Nayeri, was apprehended a short time later.
Officers then located the suspicious van at Haight and Stanyan Streets, where officers found Tieu hiding inside. He was apprehended without incident, according to police.
Ammunition was found in the van, but no weapon was located, according to investigators.
Authorities had been hunting for Tieu, Nayeri and a third inmate, 43-year-old Bac Duong, in Southern California since they pulled off a brazen jail escape on Jan. 22.
On Friday, Duong walked into an auto repair shop and said he wanted to surrender. He told investigators he had last seen the other two inmates Thursday afternoon in San Jose, shifting the manhunt 400 miles to the north.
The three men had all been jailed and awaiting trial on charges in separate violent crimes. They were held in a dormitory with about 65 other men in the jail about 30 miles southeast of Los Angeles.
The men escaped in the early morning hours after cutting a hole in a metal grate then crawling through plumbing tunnels and onto the roof of a four-story jail building.
They pushed aside barbed wire and rappelled down using a rope made of bed linen.
It took jail staff 16 hours to realize the three men were missing.
On Thursday, authorities arrested a woman who taught English inside the jail. Nooshafarin Ravaghi, 44, gave Nayeri a paper copy of a Google Earth map that showed an aerial view of the entire jail compound, Hallock said.
She was booked on suspicion of being an accessory to a felony and was being held pending a court appearance set for Monday.
It wasn’t clear if she had a lawyer.
Ravaghi and Nayeri also exchanged “personal and close” handwritten letters, but sheriff’s spokesman Lt. Jeff Hallock could not say if the two were romantically involved.
Duong, a native of Vietnam, has been held since last month on charges of attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon.
It was the first escape in nearly three decades from the Central Men’s Jail, built in 1968, that holds 900 men.
Tieu is charged with murder and attempted murder in a 2011 gang shooting. Nayeri had been held without bond since September 2014 on charges of kidnapping, torture, aggravated mayhem and burglary.
At a news conference Saturday, OC Sheriff Sandra Hutchens said, “The entire state can breathe a sigh of relief.”
When the three men are all returned to Santa Ana they will be housed separately.
“Because they are flight risks they will be housed in a different area and different manner,” Hutchens said.
Sheriff Hutchens told CBS2’s Greg Mills she’s already made a number of changes to tighten up security.
Although she reportedly received a letter from the Association of Orange County Deputy Sheriff’s asking her to relieve Captain Chris Russell from his duties of running the jail, she said she had not made any personnel changes.
The union made a statement Saturday saying, “It is our understanding that our members are being told a Sheriff’s commander has appointed a lieutenant to assume command of the Central Men’s Jail.”
Hutchens reiterated the fact no personnel changers were made after being made aware of that statement. She wrote, “I have been very clear from the onset of the jail escape investigation that I am deeply concerned about the length of time it took to recognize that three maximum security inmates were unaccounted for. I have initiated an internal administrative investigation to determine the facts of what occurred, contributing factors to the escape and inmate count procedures. Until the investigation is complete, I am unable to discuss further. Please know that we have taken immediate action to ensure that this situation will not happen again, and that the safety of our community is my highest priority.”

Nerve struck. Michelle Obama characterized Donald Trump’s recently leaked comments about women below “basic standards of human decency” during a rally for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire on Thursday, October 13.
The first lady, 52, was visibly shaken as she passionately denounced the 70-year-old Republican presidential nominee for making vulgar remarks about women in a 2005 video leaked on Friday, October 7. In the footage, Trump — who has repeatedly come under fire for his degrading remarks about women — can be heard bragging to then–Access Hollywood host Billy Bush about kissing women and grabbing their genitals.
“I can’t believe I’m saying a candidate for president of the United States has bragged about sexually assaulting women,” Obama said, telling the crowd that she had decided to forgo a “normal campaign speech” in favor of a more opinionated approach in light of the recent events.
“I can’t stop thinking about this. It has shaken me to my core in a way that I couldn’t have predicted,” she told the crowd. “[It would be] dishonest and disingenuous to me to just move on to the next thing like this was all just a bad dream. It’s not something we can just sweep under the rug as just another disturbing footnote in a sad election season.”
Obama also referenced the most recent story in The New York Times, published on Wednesday, October 12, detailing two women’s allegations that the real estate mogul had groped and touched them inappropriately decades ago, noting that “it now seems very clear” that the footage released Friday wasn’t “an isolated incident.”
“I listen to all of this, and I feel it so personally,” she said. “The shameful comments about our bodies, the disrespect of our ambitions and intellect, the belief that you can do anything you want to a woman — it is cruel, it’s frightening, and the truth is, it hurts.”
“I know this is a campaign, but this isn’t about politics,” she said. “It’s about basic human decency.”
Since the footage surfaced, Trump has apologized for his words and defended them as “locker room talk.” And during the second presidential debate on Sunday, October 9, he denied that he had ever sexually assaulted any women.
This isn’t the first time that the first lady has taken issue with the former Apprentice host. In late September, Obama spoke at a rally at La Salle University in Philadelphia and declared Trump unfit for office.
In reference to Trump’s claims that her husband, President Barack Obama, was not born in the United States, the usually poised Michelle became indignant.
“And let me say, [these were] hurtful, deceitful questions deliberately designed to undermine his presidency,” she said at the time. “Questions that cannot be blamed on others or swept under the rug by an insincere sentence at a press conference. Let me take a moment. … Because when making life-or-death, war-or-peace decisions, a president just can’t pop off or lash out irrationally. No. We need an adult in the White House.”

Tame wedge-tailed eagle named Onslow missing from WA wildlife park
Posted
A tame, sports-playing wedge-tailed eagle has escaped its enclosure at a wildlife park in Western Australia, sparking concerns about its chances of survival in the wild.
Onslow has spent the majority of its life in captivity at the Armadale Reptile and Wildlife Centre but managed to escape on June 10 while being tormented by wild birds.
"Onslow's enclosure is in the territory of the wild wedge-tailed eagle," volunteer Julie Chapman said.
"Unfortunately those eagles were harassing him and somehow the netting of his enclosure has become ripped and he's managed to escape and they've chased him away."
Ms Chapman said it was essential Onslow was found in the next couple of days, before he died from a lack of food and exposure to the elements.
"He has spent his whole life with humans and in captivity, so we're unsure how he's going to go out in the wild which is why we're very concerned about him," she said.
"He was rescued as a small fledgling and has an injury to his foot which means he can never be released."
The bird is cared for by the park's owner Klaas Gaikhorst who plays ball games with him.
"I wouldn't call it soccer, but he certainly likes playing ball with Klaas," Ms Chapman said.
She said the bird was at risk from other eagles, particularly during the current breeding season.
"He won't be scared off that easily, however wild birds would be probably pretty scared to have him in their territory," Ms Chapman said.
If you talk to him and try and keep him entertained then he might hang around. Wildlife park volunteer Julie Chapman
"He might be getting dive-bombed and scared off by other animals."
Onslow's diet of chickens, rabbits and rats will be much different outside of the enclosure.
"I don't think he'll be able to catch any live food," Ms Chapman said.
"Wedge-tailed eagles are scavengers so he could be looking for road kill, but we don't want him near the road, next to cars."
Ms Chapman said the bird should respond to its name and is friendly with humans.
"He won't be flying very high, he's not too scared of humans, so he'll probably be hanging around housing areas where the wild eagles wouldn't be hanging out," she said.
"If you talk to him and try and keep him entertained then he might hang around.
"We just ask that you don't approach him, because we don't want you to scare him away."
It is thought Onslow may be around the Kelmscott, Gosnells and Armadale area.

Consumer demand for organic beverages continues to strengthen in North America with organic juice sales projected to expand by 21%. Increasing distribution in mainstream retailers is driving market growth. Most organic juice sales have traditionally been from natural food shops, however increasing volume is going into supermarkets, club & discount stores and mass merchandisers. Although natural food shops comprise most sales with 59% market share, they are projected to be overtaken by conventional grocery channels in 2007. The growing market share of mainstream retailers is partly due to conventional juice firms entering the organic sector. Companies have gained high market share by utilising their distribution infrastructure to roll out organic variants of their juice products. Retailer private labels are also driving sales growth with a growing number of supermarkets launching organic juices. Retailer private labels have been highly successful in the Canadian market where they account for over 30% of organic juice sales. Undersupply has been a feature of the organic beverages industry for a number of years due to demand exceeding supply. Production of organic citrus juices has been hit by the Florida hurricanes, which devastated citrus groves in 2004. Retail prices of refrigerated organic juices have risen as producers struggle to find raw material. The study predicts undersupply to continue for a number of years with the shortfall met by imports. Organic juice revenues are predicted to double over the forecast period. The market share for organic juices is expected to remain low however due to the high price premium and competing products limiting consumer appeal. Organic juice producers are advised to undertake strategies based on product differentiation and brand-building to overcome such market barriers. This report analyses the shelf-stable and refrigerated juice segments in the North American organic juices market.

Heading into the 2016 campaign, Around The NFL is taking a closer look at each division over the course of this week. Which storylines -- and players -- will define the coming months within each of the league's eight sectors? Check out the AFC West entry below.
Most significant changes from 2015
The Broncos will join the 2001 Ravens as the only teams in NFL history to win a Super Bowl and enter the next season without the top two quarterbacks from their championship run. Given the hand that general manager John Elway was dealt with Peyton Manning and Brock Osweiler, that's hardly a surprise. The larger revelation is that untested 2015 seventh-round draft pick Trevor Siemian has bested veteran Mark Sanchez and first-round rookie Paxton Lynch for the starting nod in the NFL Kickoff 2016 rematch with the Panthers.
The offseason change wasn't as drastic in Kansas City, home of the division's other playoff outfit from 2015. The Chiefs' biggest makeover is on defense, where the secondary lost a pair of starters in Sean Smith and Tyvon Branch. All-Pro pass rusher Justin Houston will start the season on the PUP list after undergoing offseason knee surgery, meaning he will miss at least the first six games.
K.C.'s secondary wasn't the only one to undergo an overhaul. The Raiders said goodbye to future Hall of Famer Charles Woodson, stole Smith away from the Chiefs, signed 2015 Pro-Bowler Reggie Nelson and selected bone-jarring safety Karl Joseph in the draft's first round.
The Chargers should be upgraded on both sides of the line of scrimmage, aided by the additions of veteran center Matt Slauson, former Seahawks defensive tackle Brandon Mebane and No. 3 overall pick Joey Bosa.
One player to watch from each team
Denver Broncos: Paxton Lynch, quarterback. Siemian might have won the August competition, but he's going to be battling Lynch from September until the rookie's inevitable ascendance to the starting lineup. A dynamic athlete with a rocker arm, the former Memphis star is coming like a freight train. Asked about Lynch during Saturday's dress rehearsal, Elway raved, "He's getting better, more comfortable every day ... We think the ceiling is really, really high."
Kansas City Chiefs: Marcus Peters, cornerback. The reigning Defensive Rookie of the Year not only showed rare ball skills last season, but he also began shutting down opposing wideouts in the second half of the campaign. Will he enter the discussion with Patrick Peterson, Richard Sherman, Darrelle Revis and Josh Norman as the game's premier cornerback?
Oakland Raiders: Amari Cooper, wide receiver. If his first season is any indication, the Raiders offense already goes as Cooper goes. The 2015 draft's No. 4 overall pick became the first rookie since Mike Ditka in 1961 to post three 100-yard performances in his first six career games, only to struggle through a painful foot injury throughout the second half of the season. A healthy Cooper could emerge as the division's dominant receiving threat.
San Diego Chargers: Melvin Gordon, running back. Tip-toeing to the line of scrimmage, Gordon was one of the least effective first-round rookie running backs of the Super Bowl era in 2015. If the preseason is any indication, Chargers fans will see a more decisive and explosive version of Gordon in his second season.
What we'll be talking about at season's end
The reigning Super Bowl champions unearthed their quarterback of the future but took their lumps on offense while falling behind the Chiefs and Raiders in the standings. Alex Smith garnered overdue recognition as a legitimate franchise quarterback while posting a career year in his fourth season under Andy Reid's masterful tutelage in Kansas City. The Raiders' 25-and-under trio of Cooper, Derek Carr and Khalil Mack is the envy of organizations across the league. The Chargers are staying in San Diego! | positive |
First Dates is currently in it's ninth series
Channel 4 TV show First Dates is being accused of spreading biphobia without challenge.
In an episode aired last night (23 October), 21-year-old lesbian Zoe went on a date with Grace.
A cut away saw Zoe explaining she has an issue with finding ‘an actual real lesbian.’
She says everyone around her age is ‘experimenting’ and going around kissing both guys and girls.
For this reason, she is struggling to find someone who is ‘genuine.’
Zoe then says: ‘And then it is kind of like, we swapped numbers last night but is she gay in the morning?’
She then asks her date, Grace, if she’s ‘gay or…’
Grace replied yes, she is a typical ‘invisible lesbian’.
Watch the clip here.

‘There’s always stigma’
Women have taken to Twitter to express their annoyance.
One Twitter user said: ‘Always root for lesbians/wlw on # FirstDates but like nah. biphobia isn’t cute.’

Another added: ‘Bisexuals aren’t genuine enough apparently!’
Bisexuals aren't genuine enough apparently! #FirstDates — pretend fitness acct (@krystaalmeth) October 23, 2017
GSN spoke to bisexual YouTuber NeonFiona about the comments.
She explained: ‘There’s always that stigma around bisexuals on the “lesbian” dating scene.
‘It’s just nonsense because every single piece of stigma is purely based in falsities like bisexuals will cheat, or leave a girl for a man, etc.
‘Bisexual people are always not quite gay enough for LGBTQ+ scenes, but obviously we’re not straight so we don’t fit into those communities either. People think it’s a phase, or we’ll go back to men eventually. It’s nonsense.’

‘Dating as a bisexual is hard’
Lewis Oakley is a bisexual activist who has written for a variety of news outlets about the issues bisexuals face.
He explained to GSN: ‘Dating as a bisexual is hard, It’s possibly the only sexuality where your attractions actually make you less attractive to the people you find hot, it’s a cruel circle.
‘I think people just need to be mindful of what they say, we receive comments that just wouldn’t be acceptable if it were said about any other minority, even within our own LGBT community questioning bisexuals and insinuating they aren’t ‘genuine’ is seen as fair game.’
‘It’s 2017. Google things.’
Issues that face the bisexuality community need to be highlighted more in NeonFiona’s opinion.
She told GSN: ‘There definitely isn’t enough attention given to biphobia or bi-erasure because if there was we wouldn’t be dealing with this still.
‘I personally believe in calling in biphobic people, as opposed to calling them out. Biphobia is often stemmed in ignorance so by educating them we can start to tackle the problem.
The bi YouTuber added lightheartedly: ‘It’s 2017, you can Google things.’
Oakley added to GSN ‘in a way’ he is glad the comments were aired.
He explained: ‘It’s important for media to hold a mirror to society and tell us what’s going on. We shouldn’t shy away from these things and I wouldn’t want them to edit biphobia away as if it doesn’t exist.’
Oakley points out the Complicated report by Equality Network which revealed 66% of bisexuals only ‘felt a little’ or ‘not at all’ part of the LGBT community.
He says: ‘What’s important now is for us to discuss it and to make sure this kind of behavior just isn’t acceptable.’

‘Inclusivity, sincerity and honesty’
The show has come under fire before for airing controversial comments.
Earlier this month, one man on a date told a story of how he got ‘catfished by a tranny.’
Outraged viewers took to Twitter to ask how the comments were allowed to be aired.
Gay Star News contacted Channel 4 for their response.
They said: ‘First Dates is renowned for its inclusivity, sincerity and honesty. The dates include real conversations from a broad range of social groups who reflect on their own experiences of dating.
‘Zoe is talking about women who have had relationships with her for the night and then told her they are straight.’
NeonFiona explained: ‘First Dates can’t pretend to embrace the LGBTQ+ community while simultaneously crapping all over it.
‘While showing same-gender couples on dates and normalizing our relationships is great, it’s tainted by continued comments against bi and trans people.’

Teenage Engineering has carved out a niche in the electronic music world. Its OP-1 is a highly adaptable synth that puts industrial design on par with sound quality and features. If there's one thing the OP-1 isn't, it's affordable. The basic synth is priced at a cool $799, pitting it against considerably more-established options from Roland, Korg, Moog and others. With its latest products, however, the Swedish startup is looking to put a whole lot of music-making power in your hands for a very low price.
The Pocket Operator (PO) series is a set of three miniature battery-powered synths, all priced at $59. There's the PO-12 "Rhythm" drum machine, the PO-14 "Sub" bass synth, and the PO-16 "Factory" melody unit. All three have 16-step sequencing and a selection of 16 sounds to choose from, and also offer 16 additional effects. There aren't any official videos available just yet (we'll update the article when they become available), but you can check out a clip of musician Cuckoo playing with a prototype PO-12 (which has been known about for some time) after the break. | positive |
The Quest for a Darth Vader Mailbox
List of ingredients:
Darth Vader Mask: http://amzn.com/B000ZQ667A - $26.00
Small black stainless steel standard, from Lowe's - $35.00
The Procedure
My old mailbox had seen better days. It was too small to fit most magazines, and had literally burst at the seams in a few places. When the decision came that it was time for a new mailbox, I decided that I wanted to try something a bit different. Darth Vader was the first idea that came to mind, after seeing these US Postal Service official R2D2 mailboxes.
I began searching Google for pre-made "Darth Vader Mailbox", but there was nothing. I did a quick search on Amazon for Darth Vader and found a wide selection of masks. They were reasonably priced, so I ordered one of the less expensive models.
After the mask arrived, I headed over the Lowe's to find a standard USPS approved mailbox. I assembled all of the major pieces on the dining room construction table.
The plan was to mount the mailbox vertically, with Darth's head taking the place of the mailbox door. So I first removed the door and the 'mail waiting' flag.
Next, un-velcro'd the front and rear parts of the mask in order to figure out exactly how to mount the mask on the mailbox. After a bit of fiddling, and a few pieces of double-sided velcro positioned behind Darth's cheeks and temples, I was able to get the front portion of the mask to rest nicely atop the mailbox.
I then cut a portion of Darth's skull out in order to allow for the insertion/removal of mail. I used a pair of plastic zip ties and some plastic epoxy to attach the front and rear portions of the mask.
Finally, I drilled a trio of holes through the bottom of the mailbox just inside the opening. I used these holes to screw the mailbox in the vertical position to the wooden post just outside the front door.

Boston College Eagles Head coach: Addazio (24-27, fifth year) 2016 record and S&P+ ranking: 7-6 (86th) Projected 2017 record and S&P+ ranking: 4-8 (76th) Biggest strength: End Harold Landry and linebacker Connor Strachan will give BC a BC-like (read: physical and aggressive) front seven. Biggest question mark: Does BC have a quarterback? Or play-makers? Or an offensive line? Is experience on offense (something the Eagles actually boast this year) a good thing? Sorry, that was more than one question mark. Biggest 2017 game: Any path to 6-6 likely requires a win at NIU in the season opener. A loss would make “Addazio hot seat?” rumbles loud. Summary: Addazio has winning seasons in three of his four years, but a dreadful offense has kept fans away, and a tougher schedule will likely render “four in five years” impossible.
Aesthetics matter. Without them, you could make a case that Addazio is one of the country’s more underrated coaches.
Addazio inherited a crumbling Boston College — the Eagles’ win total had fallen for five consecutive years when he arrived, a really difficult accomplishment — and has taken his team to three bowls in four years. After a one-year setback, his 2016 charges more than doubled their win total and earned the program’s first bowl win since 2007.
BC’s attendance, however, lays out like a program in decline.
Home attendance, 2007-08 (record: 20-8 | coach: Jeff Jagodzinski): 41,513
Home attendance, 2009-10 (record: 15-11 | Frank Spaziani): 37,042
Home attendance, 2011-12 (record: 6-18 | Spaziani): 36,364
Home attendance, 2013-14 (record: 14-12 | Addazio): 33,638
Home attendance, 2015-16 (record: 10-15 | Addazio): 31,181
The slide has not abated, even though the rate of losses has turned around somewhat.
We know attendance is on the decline throughout college football, and that can explain part of what has basically been a 25 percent drop for BC. But aesthetics help.
Ten years ago, BC reached No. 2 in the country. Senior Matt Ryan threw 47 times per game, and six different players caught at least 30 balls. The Eagles upset Viginia Tech and Clemson on the road to secure the ACC Atlantic title, then beat Michigan State in the Champs Sports bowl to finish 11-3 and 10th in the AP poll.
Ryan finished 2007 with 4,507 passing yards and seventh in Heisman voting. Over the last three seasons, BC quarterbacks have combined to throw for 4,807 yards. That’s 300 more yards ... in 24 more games.
Now, that’s fine if you’re operating out of a dynamic rushing attack. But in 2007, BC running backs rushed 327 times for 1,430 yards; in 2016, BC backs rushed 388 times for 1,427 yards.
Let me commend BC for having what was, according to Off. S&P+, the fifth-worst offense in FBS, but still reaching a bowl. That’s really tricky to pull off. The Eagles beat four awful teams (UMass, Wagner, Buffalo, UConn) and upset NC State and Wake Forest to eke out a bid, then turned great field position and a fumble return touchdown into a 36-30 win over Maryland.
Basically, they had a chance in eight of 13 games and won seven of those eight. And good for them. But on paper, they were worse than the 3-9 squad of 2015. Their defense was still strong after losing coordinator Don Brown to Michigan, but it slipped from second in Def. S&P+ to 21st; meanwhile, an offense that had bottomed out in 2015 (125th in Off. S&P+) barely improved. This was a run-first, run-second team that couldn’t run.
Wins only matter so much if you’re hurting your fans’ eyeballs. Because BC still had an efficient defense, Eagles games featured a non-stop barrage of three-and-outs. At least, as long as they weren’t playing somebody good. In four games against S&P+ top-20 teams, BC got outscored, 202-24.
Outside of quarterback, the Eagles’ experience level is relatively high. They return their top two rushers, top five receiving targets, four offensive line starters (plus graduate transfer Marcell Lazard, a part-time starter at WVU), four of six on the defensive line (including Harold Landry, maybe the best end in the country), three of four at linebacker, and five of six at defensive back. The defense will be strong. The offense will run and punt a lot. Supposedly offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler wants to experiment with tempo, which is a fine idea ... if you’re moving the chains.
The major difference this fall is that the schedule gets more difficult. In 2016, BC feasted on four opponents that were either FCS or ranked in the 120s; in 2017, only three project worse than 70th.
S&P+ gives the Eagles a greater than 32 percent chance in only five games this year. To reach another bowl, they’ll have to win every semi-winnable game and at least one big upset.
I enjoy being wrong, and I enjoy out-of-nowhere rebounds. But it appears the odds are stacked against Addazio this season.
2016 in review
2016 BC statistical profile.
BC opponents fell into three pools, with distant space between each. You’re expected to fare better against bad foes than good ones, but the difference for the Eagles was drastic.
BC vs. S&P+ top 25 (1-4) : Avg. percentile performance: 19% (~top 105) | Avg. yards per play: Opp 6.7, BC 3.5 | Avg. score: Opp 43, BC 9
: Avg. percentile performance: (~top 105) | Avg. yards per play: Opp 6.7, BC 3.5 | Avg. score: Opp 43, BC 9 BC vs. No. 45-87 (2-2) : Avg. percentile performance: 38% (~top 80) | Avg. yards per play: Opp 5.3, BC 4.9 | Avg. score: Opp 22, BC 22
: Avg. percentile performance: (~top 80) | Avg. yards per play: Opp 5.3, BC 4.9 | Avg. score: Opp 22, BC 22 BC vs. No. 117+ (4-0): Avg. percentile performance: 78% (~top 30) | Avg. yards per play: BC 5.0, Opp 2.1 | Avg. score: BC 33, Opp 5
You’ll rarely see splits this large. Top-25 opponents averaged 451 yards per game against the Eagles, and the four opponents at the bottom gained 417 yards, total. The offense was far below average against bad opponents, but scored more than enough.
If BC could physically dominate you, you had no chance. But there was no Plan B.
Offense
Full advanced stats glossary.
BC’s offense has been so awful that it’s almost jarring to remember the Eagles had a Heisman finalist not even four years ago. In 2013, Andre Williams powered an attack that ranked 30th in Off. S&P+; in 2014, without Williams, the combination of quarterback Tyler Murphy and freshman grinder Jon Hilliman kept the Eagles at 50th.
In 2015, BC fell straight to the bottom. Three different freshman quarterbacks struggled, Hilliman got hurt, nobody caught more than 17 passes, and the Eagles crashed.
Sensing a problem, Addazio brought in Loeffler, which makes you wonder if he understood the problem.
Loeffler’s reputation as an OC is unfair. HIs biggest problem seems to be that he can’t say no to impossible jobs. In the last six seasons, he has been brought in for turnaround/salvage jobs at Temple (2011, with Addazio), Auburn (2012), Virginia Tech (2013), and BC (2016).
Average Off. S&P+ ranking for those schools in the pre-Loeffler year: 86.0
Average Off. S&P+ ranking in Loeffler’s first season: 88.0
Virginia Tech and BC basically remained the same with Loeffler in charge, Temple improved a bit, and Auburn plummeted. His next top-50 offense will be his first. And if he pulls off a top-50 ranking this fall, triple his salary.
Loeffler will at least have a more experienced set of personnel.
Hilliman is back and might be healthy for the first time since basically 2014. And after averaging a ghastly 2.95 yards per carry last year, his numbers have nowhere to go but up. And big, well-touted freshman AJ Dillon could challenge for carries.
Leading receiver (and former quarterback) Jeff Smith is in his second year as a wideout and was already BC’s most dangerous weapon. Speedy junior Michael Walker and big senior Charlie Callinan combined for 58 catches last year as well, and redshirt freshmen Christian McStravick and Kobay White and sophomores Chris Garrison and Nolan Borgersen give Eagles depth they haven’t had.
Tight end Tommy Sweeney averaged 13.6 yards per catch and easily had the best success rate of the primary receiving weapons.
Including Lazard, the line has six players who have combined for 87 career starts.
Experience can be a major weapon if players are developing, and there are at least a couple of exciting skill guys.
Great, so what about that quarterback position? In the last two seasons, five different players have thrown at least 49 passes, but of the five, Patrick Towles (graduated), Smith (changed positions), and Troy Flutie (changed positions) are no longer on the QB depth chart, and junior John Fadule (walk-on who played in 2015 because there was no choice) probably won’t be. So that leaves Darius Wade and some newbies.
Wade and mid-three-star redshirt freshman Anthony Brown battled for the job this spring, but while it was assumed Brown would win — from a fan perspective, the new guy with question marks is always better than the old guy with question marks — Wade more than held his own.
Wade appeared to have some “QB of the future” potential in 2015 before he got hurt, but he just got a smattering of reps backing up graduate transfer Towles. There were rumors of a transfer, but Wade staked his claim to finally becoming a full-time starter.
So, about the tempo thing. BC utilized it against an unsuspecting Maryland in the Quick Lane Bowl and saw some success — 40 plays, 29 points in the first half — but it was marginal. The Eagles scored three times on drives that began in Terrapin territory, and two quick-strike touchdown drives were offset by a quick three-and-out and a quicker turnover on downs.
Still, an identity is important, and if a Wade-Hilliman run game is able to move the chains, working with tempo can maximize matchup advantages and wear on a defense.
But if you’re not moving the chains, you’re just wearing on your own defense. That’s a massive risk here.

Defense
Jim Reid took on an impossible task. The veteran coach was asked to succeed Brown after the 2015 Eagle defense had been a work of brutal art, ranking first in success rate allowed, second in Rushing S&P+, and third in Def. S&P+ despite getting no support from its offense. There was no way to avoid regression.
(There might have been a slight correlation between defensive success and offensive ineptitude. An opponent isn’t going to empty its offensive playbook when it doesn’t fear that your offense is going to score. As you grow more threatening on offense, opponents might try to do more.)
Despite losing three key members of an incredibly disruptive front seven, Reid was able to maintain BC’s identity. BC ranked third in success rate, eighth in Rushing S&P+, and 21st overall (not to mention second in havoc rate).
But the glitches were a little more costly. The Eagles went from allowing 19 gains of 30-plus yards in 2015 (14th in FBS) to allowing 32 (89th), and that extra big play per game contributed to allowing 9.7 more points per game. BC was as efficient as ever, but the big plays carried a little more magnitude.
Experience in the secondary should smooth out wrinkles. Only safety John Johnson departs, and senior corners Kamrin Moore, Isaac Yiadom, and Gabriel McClary are among the best in the conference, and junior Lukas Denis capable of taking over for Johnson.
BC was a little lucky from an injuries standpoint, and Reid didn’t employ a large rotation, so we don’t know about depth. But if the secondary’s fine, the odds are good that the front seven will be, too.
When you’ve got Landry, your ceiling is high no matter who else is involved. The senior end recorded 22 tackles for loss, 16.5 sacks, five passes defensed, and a nation’s-best seven forced fumbles.
Landry was the primary reason BC ranked first in line havoc rate, and while a couple of battery mates have graduated, junior ends Zach Allen and Wyatt Ray (combined: 17 TFLs, 10.5 sacks) and tackles Ray Smith and Noa Merritt are back, and middle linebacker Connor Strachan is a good mess-cleaner. The senior had 11 TFLs and 3.5 sacks of his own, and Ty Schwab and Sharrieff Grice appear solid.
For the most part, Addazio utilizes redshirts, both to maintain depth and make BC as big and physical as possible. This has not worked on offense, but the defense has benefited. It’ll get a test in 2018, when Landry, Strachan, Schwab, Moore, Yiadom, and McClary are gone, and we’ll see what happens if there’s a run of injuries. But this miniature golden era for BC’s defense should continue.
Special Teams
Place kicking and punting hold the heaviest weight in the Special Teams S&P+ equation, and that was a problem for BC. The Eagles missed three PATs and went 1-for-3 on field goals over 40 yards, and place-kicker/punter Mike Knoll averaged just 38.3 yards per kick and ranked 122nd in punt efficiency. That doomed them to a poor rating despite the fact that Myles Willis and Tyler Rouse were a tremendous return combination, and kick coverage was decent.
Knoll’s return might or might not be a good thing, but the loss of both Willis and Rouse is definitely bad.
2017 outlook
The schedule is the thing. Boston College returns enough on both offense and defense to lead you to believe both units could improve. S&P+ projects the Eagles to improve by 10 spots overall.
But ...
they face road trips to Clemson and Louisville, both projected in the top 25.
they host Notre Dame, Virginia Tech, Florida State, and NC State, all projected in the top 30.
of the four opponents projected 70th or worse, BC hosts only one.
That’s rough. It means that the Eagles not only have to improve; they have to improve a lot.
How’s that supposed to happen? Landry, Strachan, and company will assure BC’s defense remains tenacious, but unless an offense with a new quarterback and a new tempo proves capable of scoring in the 20s against good teams, that defense will be mostly for naught.
Team preview stats
All power conference preview data to date. | positive |
The young man in this video looks like he's riding a Segway. But Yusuf Akturkoglu was paralized after falling from a horse five years ago, and he's being mobilized by an amazing device invented by Turkish scientists. It's going to change lives.
It's called the Tek Robotic Mobilization Device, and it not only allows people who can't walk get around more independently than any device has before, but it also helps them stand up on their own, which is crucial for maintaining basic health functions in people who have spinal cord injuries.

Crucial Standing Assistance
Instead of entering from the front like a normal wheelchair, people using the Tek RMD enter from the back of the device. That way they don't have to hoist themselves with a momentum that can be dangerous and is next to impossible to do alone. By attaching a thick padded strap around the hips, Yusuf maneuvers himself into the Tek RMD on his own. The device uses a suspension system that balances the weight so he can stand up with just a gentle pull. Standing for an hour or more every day is important for people who have lost movement in their legs; without the weight-bearing effect of standing, they can develop cardiovascular problems, brittle bones, pressure sores not to mention the psychological importance of eye-to-eye interpersonal contact.
Independence
In the video, Yusuf calls the device to his bedside with a remote-control, gets himself out of bed, goes grocery shopping, maneuvers around a bookstore, and even does some things in the bathroom that we thankfully don't observe to completion. But these these abilities that most of us take for granted every day are key to the emotional well-being of paraplegic people. The ability to squat down and easily come back to standing is key. And while standing, Yusef's hands are free to carry groceries or do whatever else he might need them to. Before trying out the Tek RMD, Yusuf, who was a student before his injury, rarely left his home where he lives with his parents.

Smallest Dimensions
The makers of Tek RMD says it's the most compact device of its kind, which allows Yusuf to navigate crowded grocery aisles, libraries, and who knows, Coachella, maybe? All without knocking into the people and things around him. Users still need ramps in place of stairs, but the device eliminates the need for special bathroom stalls and other facilities that allow space for bulky wheelchairs.
The Tek RMD comes in five sizes. and is still undergoing clinical trials. Here's hoping it's on the market stat.

It was another fun evening and the most successful edition of this fundraising event yet, with 21 teams participating plus 25 business and individual sponsorships. The TASC Spelling Bee 2019 Champion was the Rotary Club of Taunton, which had won the Community Division to advance into the Championship final round of competition. The Rotary Club gets to display the coveted TASC Bee silver cup trophy until next year’s event. The Webster Bank team was runner-up, having gained their place in the final round by winning the Finance Division. The team from Sylvia & Quinn came in third, after an extended tiebreaking victory over a new team from LAER Realty Partners that made for a compelling finish in the Business Division. Teams of three adults from the registering business or group, plus two high school students, a senior and a junior, comprised the teams. Seniors were seeking to win one of three college scholarships of $1,000, $500, or $250, which were sponsored respectively by Bristol County Savings Bank, Rockland Trust and TMLP. Juniors in the top three teams won a Kindle Fire and Amazon gift cards of $100, $50, and $25. Each round of competition involved the teams agreeing on the spelling of ten words. During the April 10th event, Program Director Dan LeBrun recognized and thanked the person who came up with the Spelling Bee idea nearly 16 years ago. Jacqueline Scungio, a former TASC Board member, was presented a plaque of appreciation, for “Inspiring 15 years of TASC Fun and Fundraising”. Some of the key volunteers generously giving their time in support of this community event Included: Mayor Tom Hoye, who was again MC; Taunton Public Schools (TPS) Superintendent John Cabral, who had perhaps the evening’s toughest role as Word Pronouncer; Karen Reamsnyder of Raynham Veterinary Hospital as head judge, plus David Tipping of Bristol County Savings Bank and Robin VanRotz from Bristol County Agricultural HS as the other two judges; scorekeeper Mary Ann Jablonski and time keeper Paul Allison. TASC also acknowledges TPS for use of the Taunton High School Auditorium; TPS Performing Arts Coordinator James Frye and site liaison Ally Golder; Steve Jacques and his Taunton Educational Network and media students for Cable TV taping; TPS Food Service Dept. and nine local pizza shops for their food donations. For their community involvement and support of greater Taunton youth, TASC applauds all the businesses, organizations and individuals who registered a team, became a sponsor, made in-kind donations! Proceeds from the Spelling Bee enable TASC provide important Career Development Education opportunities for local youth at our three partnership high schools: Bristol County Agricultural, Taunton Alternative, and Taunton High. « ‹ of 3 › » 2018 Business Dinner « ‹ of 4 › » 2018 Spaghetti Supper « ‹ of 3 › » 2018 Wine Tasting Event « ‹ of 2 › » 2018 Annual Dinner « ‹ of 4 › » Search for: Search Powered by Ajaxy Past Event Galleries 2019 Comedy Night 2019-11-12 2019 Annual Dinner 2019-11-12 2019 Wine Tasting Event 2019-11-12 2019 Spaghetti Supper 2019-09-27 2019 TASC Spelling Bee 2019-04-12 2018 Business Dinner 2018-12-18 2018 Spaghetti Supper 2018-12-18 2018 Wine Tasting Event 2018-12-18 2018 Annual Dinner 2018-07-23 Weather Advisories Click HERE for the latest schedule changes or cancellations.

Preparations are under way for the distribution of free cheese to needy people starting on Monday week.
53 tonnes of cheese will be given to charitable organisations to distribute as part of an EU scheme.
Already this year, over 114 tonnes of free cheese have been given to people in need in this country.
The fresh cheddar is coming from production lines in manufacturing firms around the country.
For about two decades, butter was taken from EU intervention stores and given to needy people, especially around Christmas.
But in recent years, it was felt that cheese was easier to distribute than butter.
So this year, the Department of Agriculture has swapped 350 tonnes of butter in exchange for 167 tonnes of cheese.
Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries & Food Brendan Smith said the EU-funded scheme is an important means of contributing towards the well-being of the most deprived citizens in the Community.
Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, Minister Smith said the Government would purchase the cheese from the Irish Dairy Board and make it available to voluntary organisations, such as St Vincent de Paul.
He said the scheme would also promote the use, value and importance of nutritional dairy products.
He said it may be a small measure but it is helpful to those who are in need.
The cheese is available in 12 x 1kg boxes from stores in Clondalkin, Portlaoise, Kilmacthomas, Cobh and Togher with a minimum of one box per collection.
Permits are now being issued to applicants to facilitate collection.

Now for something INTENTIONALLY scary this time! Last Week's episode was simply fantastic and hilarious, and Pinkie's range of faces was simply astounding. However, one of the last faces she makes as Twilight FINALLY puts the pieces together really struck a cord with me... I just figured "oh wow, imagine if I tried to recreate that face... *wink wink to myself for some reason*.And so here she is, in all her horrifyingly semi-realistic glory. I think this made me finally see what some people see when they say my art style is creepy... Any cartoon expression is gonna look incredibly scary in real life, innit?Ah well, I like it, at any rate. I made this in only a couple days, AND I was trying out a new shading style, so it's pretty rough and not entirely as polished as I'd like (the hair most especially), but I still like how this turned out. ^^ I think I'mma stick to this style; it's much faster and gets more detail and accuracy out of how light would bounce off the subject. Not perfect, obviously, but it's something for now. ^^ | positive |

Review title of EminentVessel TAKE A KNEE # BOYCOTT
EA REMOVES BAD REVIEWS DAILY.The game should have only one star rating but they keep removing one stars.Seriously we as gaming community need to BOYCOTT. They dont care about us anymore as a community so why view them as an NFL gaming franchise. They just pocket the money we give them and they do nothing with it to improve the game. The game issues that have existed for 3 to 5 years now how lazy can you get. We tell you over and over what to fix and nothing changes. We need to BOYCOTT EAsports. The fact that they have exclusive rights on NFL games is more of a reason that we need to banned together and force a change. TAKE A KNEE in protest to the company and BOYCOTT buying or even playing any of the madden games. We deserve much better and also a refund for false promoting garbage games. The cash grab they have become is beyond theft its more like strongarmed robbery now. TAKE A KNEE jus like COLIN KAPERNICK TAKE A KNEE thats are only way now. BOYCOTT EAsports please WE CAN DO IT. | positive |
TAOISEACH LEO VARADKAR has said the government are going to tackle the issue of affordable housing, stating that too many people in employment can’t get on the property ladder.
“I am someone who was able to buy an apartment when I was in my twenties. It was the norm back then for people in their twenties to buy their first house or apartment. House prices were actually higher than they were now, but huge numbers of people in their twenties and thirties can’t get a home either because they can’t get a mortgage or it doesn’t exist,” Varadkar told TheJournal.ie, adding:
“One thing I am very conscious of and is something that came up at this meeting [the Fine Gael think-in] was that we need to be aware of the many people who aren’t on a housing list, but who are renting or living with their parents, who would also like to be able to buy a home.
So a big part of what we will have to do as a government is to focus on affordability to ensure that people in their twenties and thirties who are working and who are now renting or living with their parents, actually have a chance to buy a home, that is going to be a big part of what we do.
Affordable housing scheme
Fianna Fáil spokesperson on Housing, Planning and Local Government, Barry Cowen has said that the government must take real action on its commitment to launch a new affordable housing initiative.
He said there is an explicit commitment in the confidence and supply arrangement for the establishment of an affordable housing scheme and argued that the National Asset Management Agency (Nama) should be used for this explicit purpose of helping increase supply and open up home ownership to working families currently squeezed out of the market.
Varadkar told his party colleagues at this week’s Fine Gael think-in in Tipperary that Nama could be repurposed as a property developer. However, Cowen said the announcement lacked detail.
The Taoiseach said the idea has been under consideration for a number of months
“We hope to make a decision on it in a few weeks, it will obviously require a government decision. But if you think about it, Nama will more or less complete its remit in the next couple of months and pay off the remainder of the senior debt.
“They will done what they are set up to do and at the same time they are a body with money and experience in finance and development, they have already been doing that for developers who owe money to Nama. They also have some land they would be entitled to and there are people working there with a lot of experience in finance and building. It does seem to be a very logical idea,” said the Taoiseach.
“The government must make up its mind and outline the plan they have for Nama,” said Cowen, adding:
Nama can and should be used to launch affordable housings schemes in Dublin and other urban areas where supply is weakest and where prices are highest.
This will help ensure that working families are not priced out of the market and have a chance to own their own home. This was originally outlined in our manifesto and would be financed by a new national home building bond, on an off-balance sheet basis, and through funds from the Strategic Investment Fund and the credit union movement.
Cowen said using Nama and accessing off-balance sheet finance makes sense to help deliver the housing units.
“I look forward to engaging with Minister for Housing, Eoghan Murphy in its design,” he said.
Speaking about the need for more social housing and objections to it, the Taoiseach said people need to take a positive outlook to social housing.
There is a very significant ramping up in terms of the build of council builds and council apartments or social housing if you prefer that term. I think as is always the case with any development, whether it’s social housing or not, you will always have people living next door opposing it for different reasons.
I can understand why people do that, and it can often be on planning grounds, not necessarily the fact they don’t want a particular type of person or a particular type of house living next to them.
Objections to social housing
Varadkar said he has told local authorities that they need to start approving social housing projects.
We are facing a major housing shortage. It is not just an issue of social housing. There are a huge numbers of people who would like to buy their home and can’t at the moment.
I am very much asking councillors from my party and councillors around the country to take a positive view towards Part 8 (the provision in which councillors vote for and approve social housing schemes in their area) and also a positive view towards development and also higher densities and higher rise buildings in our cities. | positive |
So yeah, turns out, Max’s trajectory to superdom was a little different than usual. This gets expanded on a little in the next page, but basically all that Deus knew was one year Max came back from summer break gold, and given there are no other gold skinned supers as far as anyone knows, he thought it might be worth looking into.
I guess Max’s family is the sort that visits museums at 9am on a Tuesday. I wasn’t being lazy by not drawing other people, there actually wasn’t anyone there to witness what happened to her. Not that the event seems significant on its own, she just got splashed with “geode” “water.” She even told her parents when she found them, but by then it had all “evaporated.” She was like “I just got a mouthful of geode water.” And her dad was all “So I guess you don’t want your 7up?” But like I said, more info on the next page.
As for why baroque art is right by the geology exhibit, uh… the museum is remodeling the baroque wing? Cause, you know, it needed fixing?

Update: Papadopoulos's attorney has weighed in...
Papadopoulos' attorneys say they'll comment in Court later: "We look forward to telling all of the details of George’s story at that time." — Mark Knoller (@markknoller) October 30, 2017
* * *
In addition to the news that former Trump campaign executive Paul Manafort and his longtime deputy, Rick Gates, have been indicted on 12 counts including tax fraud, money laundering, failing to register as a lobbyist for a foreign country, and conspiring against the US, unsealed court documents have revealed that former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos pleaded guilty on Oct. 5 to making false statements to the FBI.
Noting that the Russian government often uses foreign intermediaries to accomplish its foreign policy goals, the FBI said it investigated Papadopoulos, who served as a foreign adviser for the Trump campaign starting on March 2016 and continuing through most of the campaign, for any such contacts. This investigation included an interview in January 2017. According to the indictment, there is probable cause to believe that on Jan. 27, Papadopoulos made material false statements and omitted material facts to the FBI regarding his interactions during the campaign with foreign contacts, including Russian nationals.
Specifically, Prosecutors charged Papadopolous with lying to investigators and that he falsely described his interactions with a certain foreign contact, identified as a professor, who discussed "dirt" related to emails concering then-presiential candidate Hillary Clinton, when in fact, he had repeated communications with that contact while serving as an adviser on the campaign. Papadopoulos allegedly told the FBI that those conversations happened before he joined the campaign, statements rebutted by the Justice Department's timeline.
Papadopoulos also shut down a Facebook account following a second interview in February. The account included communications with foreigners including Russian nationals - thereby obstructing the FBI's investigation.
A self-described energy consultant, Papadopoulos was the youngest and least experienced member of the small foreign policy team Trump abruptly formed last March after coming under criticism for his lack of foreign policy expertise. Furthermore, the Washington Post reported that in at least half a dozen email requests sent between March and September 2016, adviser George Papadopoulos urged Trump or senior members of his campaign to meet with Russian officials. Some of those emails were read to the newspaper by a person with access to them.
These newly surfaced emails mark the latest in a long string of examples of the Trump team’s efforts to establish direct communication with Russia during the 2016 race.
In one, Papadopoulos offered to arrange “a meeting between us and the Russian leadership to discuss US-Russia ties under President Trump,” as quoted by the Post.
It is worth recalling, however, that as the WaPo first reported back in August, several Trump officials, including Paul Manafort, who served as Trump’s campaign chairman, expressed concern over the proposed meetings. Other officials who raised concerns over Papadopoulos’s proposals to meet with with Russian officials include the Trump campaign’s co-chairman, Sam Clovis, and Navy Rear Adm. Charles Kubic.
Papadopoulos also passed on an exchange with the Russian International Affairs Council (RIAC), which conveyed that the Russian foreign ministry was receptive to Trump making a trip to Russia. An official with the Council confirmed that a discussion about a U.S.-Russia dialogue “informally” occurred.
“We discussed the idea informally as one of the opportunities for ... dialogue between Russia and the U.S.,” Ivan Timofeev told The Post. “RIAC often hosts meetings with prominent political figures and experts from the US and many other countries.”
Manafort, according to the report, passed on the note to one of his colleagues, saying “We need someone to communicate that DT is not doing these trips.”
“We thought we probably should not go forward with any meeting with the Russians until we have had occasion to sit with our NATO allies,” Clovis said in a March email discussing a potential meeting.
* * *
Then there's this from the WaPo's initial account:
Papadopoulos emerges from the sample of emails as a new and puzzling figure in the examination of the Trump campaign’s contacts with Russian officials and their proxies during the 2016 election, now the subject of a special-counsel investigation. Less than a decade out of college, Papadopoulos appeared to hold little sway within the campaign, and it is unclear whether he was acting as an intermediary for the Russian government, although he told campaign officials he was. While the emails illustrate his eagerness to strengthen the campaign’s connections to the Russian government, Papadopoulos does not spell out in them why it would be in Trump’s interest to do so. His entreaties appear to have generated more concern than excitement within the campaign, which at the time was looking to seal the Republican nomination and take on a heavily favored Hillary Clinton in the general election.
The Papadopoulos emails are part of 20,000 pages of documents the campaign provided to Congress earlier this month.
* * *
A growing question now is what Papadopoulos may have "given" the government as part of the plea agreement, and whather he has "flipped" on Trump:
Former US Attorney Preet Bharara says the FBI appears to have found a cooperating witnes in Pap - which is significant.
Special Counsel Mueller appears to have a cooperating witness, George Papadopoulos. That is significant. Time will tell how significant. — Preet Bharara (@PreetBharara) October 30, 2017
In his plea agreement, the government says it will offer leniency to Pap in exchange for his cooperation, and that sentencing will be delayed before cooperation is completed.
In the Papadopolous plea agreement: "The Government agrees to bring to the Court's attention at sentencing the defendant's efforts to cooperate with the Government..."
Link: https://t.co/JckVfDcZb3 pic.twitter.com/KpNAUJaJ5T — Frank Thorp V (@frankthorp) October 30, 2017
Finally, as The Smoking Gun asks, "did George Papadopoulos agree to wear a wire or make any FBI-monitored calls?"
Yes, but did George Papadopoulos agree to wear a wire or make any FBI-monitored calls? pic.twitter.com/UkZzue2WR7 — The Smoking Gun (@tsgnews) October 30, 2017
And at least some, for now, believe the answer is yes:
Papadopoulos is described as "proactive cooperator." Former prosecutor tells me that sometimes means "wore a wire." https://t.co/nQyVCbXy6x — Daniel Dale (@ddale8) October 30, 2017
Finally, with some asking whether the young ex-advisor may have had alterantive motives, the Guardian's Jon Swaine points out that the former aide sought book publisher recommendations three weeks ago.
“Interested in meeting with a prominent publisher. Recommendations welcome, ” wrote Papadopoulos

Bob Lutz reveals government ordered Pontiac's killing as part of bailout deal
Oct 27, 2013, 1:58pm ET
by Ben Hsu
Bob Lutz has quite a bit to say about Pontiac.
Bob Lutz, the outspoken former GM Vice Chairman, revealed in an interview Saturday that the Pontiac brand was killed off at the behest of the federal government. The surprising declaration took place during an "Inside the Motoman Studio” session at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles.
According to Lutz, during the government bailout of General Motors following the Global Financial Crisis of 2008 and GM's subsequent declaration of Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the feds wanted the automaker to cut everything but two brands. Cadillac would act as the premium brand while Chevrolet would serve as the sole mass-market brand.
However, Buick was granted a reprieve when GM made a case for the brand's importance in China, where it remains GM's strongest nameplate. If Buick was killed off in the US, Chinese customers would lose interest, explained Lutz. GMC was saved by proving that there was a distinct set of buyers who would not cross-shop Chevrolet and that its trim and options provided a substantial profit margin.
Lutz further explains that he personally fought for Pontiac and that it was on its way to becoming a true performance brand with an all rear-wheel-drive lineup. In particular, the next Pontiac G6 was to share a platform with the highly acclaimed Cadillac ATS, but with the premium content stripped out and dimensions similar to a BMW 3-Series.
Unfortunately, GM was forced to admit that Pontiac had not made any money in the 10 years prior to its 2009 demise. The government then gave the automotive giant an ultimatum to either kill Pontiac or forgo the $53 billion bailout. Lutz does acknowledge the fact that for many years Pontiac's brand image was tarnished by badge engineering and excessive use of plastic body cladding.
The full interview and Q&A session can be seen in the video below. The revelations about Pontiac appear at 2:14:00. | positive |

Carl Hans Lody, alias Charles A. Inglis (20 January 1877 – 6 November 1914; name occasionally given as Karl Hans Lody), was a reserve officer of the Imperial German Navy who spied in the United Kingdom in the first few months of the First World War.
He grew up in Nordhausen in central Germany and was orphaned at an early age. After embarking on a nautical career at the age of 16, he served briefly in the Imperial German Navy at the start of the 20th century. His ill health forced him to abandon a naval career, but he remained in the naval reserve. He joined the Hamburg America Line to work as a tour guide. While escorting a party of tourists, he met and married a German-American woman, but the marriage broke down after only a few months. His wife divorced him and he returned to Berlin.
In May 1914, two months before war broke out, Lody was approached by German naval intelligence officials. He agreed to their proposal to employ him as a peacetime spy in southern France, but the outbreak of the First World War on 28 July 1914 resulted in a change of plans. In late August, he was sent to the United Kingdom with orders to spy on the Royal Navy. He posed as an American — he could speak English fluently, with an American accent — using a genuine U.S. passport purloined from an American citizen in Germany. Over the course of a month, Lody travelled around Edinburgh and the Firth of Forth observing naval movements and coastal defences. By the end of September 1914, he was becoming increasingly worried for his safety as a rising spy panic in Britain led to foreigners coming under suspicion. He travelled to Ireland, where he intended to keep a low profile until he could make his escape from the UK.
Lody had been given no training in espionage before embarking on his mission and within only a few days of arriving he was detected by the British authorities. His un-coded communications were detected by British censors when he sent his first reports to an address in Stockholm that the British knew was a postbox for German agents. The British counter-espionage agency MI5, then known as MO5(g), allowed him to continue his activities in the hope of finding out more information about the German spy network. His first two messages were allowed to reach the Germans but later messages were stopped, as they contained sensitive military information. At the start of October 1914, concern over the increasingly sensitive nature of his messages prompted MO5(g) to order Lody's arrest. He had left a trail of clues that enabled the police to track him to a hotel in Killarney, Ireland, in less than a day.
Lody was put on public trial — the only one held for a German spy captured in the UK in either World War — before a military court in London at the end of October. He did not attempt to deny that he was a German spy. His bearing in court was widely praised as forthright and courageous by the British press and even by the police and MO5(g) officers who had tracked him down. He was convicted and sentenced to death after a three-day hearing. Four days later, on 6 November 1914, Lody was shot at dawn by a firing squad at the Tower of London in the first execution there in 167 years. His body was buried in an unmarked grave in East London. When the Nazi Party came to power in Germany in 1933, it declared him a national hero. Lody became the subject of memorials, eulogies and commemorations in Germany before and during the Second World War. A destroyer ship bore his name.
Early life and career [ edit ]
Carl Hans Lody was born in Berlin on 20 January 1877. His father was a lawyer in government service who served as mayor of Oderberg in 1881. The Lody family subsequently moved to Nordhausen, where they lived at 8 Sedanstrasse (today Rudolf-Breitscheid-Strasse). Lody's father served as deputy mayor there in 1882 but died in June 1883 after a short illness and his mother died in 1885. He was fostered for a time by a couple in Leipzig before entering the orphanage of the Francke Foundations in nearby Halle.[1][2]
Lody began an apprenticeship at a grocery store in Halle in 1891, before moving to Hamburg two years later to join the crew of the sailing ship Sirius as a cabin boy. He studied at the maritime academy in Geestemünde, qualifying as a helmsman, and immediately afterwards served with the Imperial German Navy for a year between 1900 and 1901. Subsequently joining the First Naval Reserve, he enlisted as an officer on German merchant ships. In 1904 he returned to Geestemünde, where he successfully obtained a captain's licence. He fell seriously ill with what he later said was a stomach abscess, "caused from a very badly cured typhoid attack of fever from which I suffered in Italy on account of the bad water at Genoa."[3] An operation was required, which weakened his left arm and his eyesight. As Lody put it, "Consequently, my career as a seaman was closed as soon as I discovered that, and my doctor told me that I could not go any further."[3]
Louise Storz, Lody's wife from October 1912 to March 1914
Lody found alternative employment with the Hamburg America Line, which had inaugurated a personally guided tour service for wealthy travellers going from Europe to America. Lody became a tour guide responsible for looking after these clients, and in this capacity visited European countries, including Britain.[4] During one such tour he met a German-American woman named Louise Storz, the 23-year-old adoptive daughter of a wealthy beer brewer, Gottlieb Storz of Omaha, Nebraska.[5][6] Louise's tour included several European countries, including Germany;[7] by its conclusion she and Lody were engaged. After visiting Lody's family in Berlin, the couple travelled to the United States. They were married on 29 October 1912 in what the Omaha Daily Bee described as "a 'society' wedding":
The home was beautifully decorated with chrysanthemums, palms and ferns. The ceremony and the details that preceded it were elaborate. About seventy-five guests attended. After an extended western honeymoon tour Mr. and Mrs. Lody established a residence at the Clarinda.[8]
Despite the high profile of the wedding the couple lived together for only two months.[9] Lody sought to obtain a position in the Storz Brewing Company but he lacked expertise in brewing. As the local Omaha Daily Bee newspaper put it, "Here he was in the United States with a wife to support and no position in sight."[8] He found a job working as a clerk for the Union Pacific Railroad for under $100 a month. Two months after they were married, Louise brought suit for divorce, charging that Lody had "beat[en] her, inflicting serious wounds to her body."[10] Lody left for Berlin shortly thereafter; over six months later, he unexpectedly returned with a German lawyer to contest the suit in the Douglas County courts.[11] The suit was withdrawn without explanation a few days later; Lody returned to Berlin.[12] The two sides apparently reached an amicable settlement; in February 1914 the divorce suit was reinstated and Lody agreed not to contest it.[13] The divorce was granted the following month.[14]
The military historian Thomas Boghardt suggests that the Storz family did not approve of the match, and may have pressured the couple to separate. Lody said later that his former father-in-law gave him $10,000, possibly as compensation. The failed marriage had a lasting effect on Lody. He wrote in 1914: "My feelings run riot when I can permit myself to review the dramatic events of the last three years and what is to be the probable climax of it all."[15]
Beginning of espionage career [ edit ]
On his return to Germany, Lody settled in Berlin, living in what he described as "well to do circumstances". He stayed in the Adlon, the city's most fashionable luxury hotel, while his sister Hanna lived with her doctor husband in the prosperous suburb of Westend in Charlottenburg.[16] As tensions grew across Europe in the first half of 1914, German naval intelligence – the Nachrichten-Abteilung, or "N" – set out to recruit potential agents. Lody already had links with the service. During his time with the Imperial German Navy, Lody had served under Arthur Tapken, who later became N's first director. The German Imperial Admiralty Staff, or Admiralstab, listed Lody as a possible recruitment target before the outbreak of war.[15] The naval authorities regarded Hamburg America Line (HAL) employees such as Lody as ideal recruits because of their expertise in naval matters and presence in ports worldwide. The HAL had collaborated with the Admiralstab since the 1890s. The relationship became so close that in July 1914, just before the outbreak of the war, the HAL's director Albert Ballin told the Admiralstab that he would "place myself and the organisation subordinate to me at your Excellency's disposal as best as possible."[17]

Inglis: the real Inglis's passport, acquired for Lody by the German Foreign Office, and a supporting certificate of registration, procured by Lody in Bergen , Norway
On 8 May 1914, Fritz Prieger, the director of N, contacted Lody to ask whether he was willing to serve as a naval agent. Lody replied that he was "honoured" by Prieger's trust and would serve at Prieger's disposal. Within three weeks Lody had signed a formal agreement to operate as a "tension traveller" in southern France – an agent who would report back to Berlin in times of heightened international tensions. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria on 28 June and the subsequent July Crisis precipitated the outbreak of World War I on 28 July.[15]
With the United Kingdom declaring war in support of France and Belgium, Prieger sent Lody to Britain as a war agent. Lody was ordered to base himself in the Edinburgh–Leith area and monitor British naval movements. He was to travel along the Scottish coast and report on the warships stationed there; "If or when Mr. Lody comes to know that a naval battle has taken place, he will enquire as much and unobtrusively as possible regarding losses, damage etc." His orders reflected the Admiralstab's belief that the war would be decided by a single major naval battle.[15]
To communicate with his handlers, Lody was instructed to write to certain addresses in Christiania (now Oslo), Stockholm, New York City and Rome. He acquired an American emergency passport in the name of Charles A. Inglis,[15] a genuine document obtained from the US Embassy in Berlin. When Germany declared war on Russia on 1 August, newly imposed restrictions prevented foreigners from leaving Germany without travel documents. Embassies and consulates throughout the country experienced a rush of visitors as foreigners sought emergency passports; these had to be submitted to the German Foreign Ministry to obtain exit permits for neutral Denmark or the Netherlands. One such applicant was the real Charles A. Inglis, whose passport went missing – lost, it was claimed, although in fact the Foreign Ministry had appropriated it for Lody's use. As the passport lacked security features such as the holder's photograph or fingerprints, being merely a single-sheet document, it was well-suited for use by a spy.[18] Lody said later that he had received it in the post from his superiors at N.[19] He was also given £250 in British banknotes, 1,000 Danish krone and 1,000 Norwegian krone to finance his mission to the UK, where he would travel via Denmark and Norway.[20]
Gustav Steinhauer, the head of N's British section, later wrote that he had met Lody shortly before the latter's departure, and spoken with him on a couple of occasions. Steinhauer had been active in Britain shortly before the outbreak of war, and was keen to give Lody advice on the difficulties he would face:
When you are in England, Lody, you are not in Germany or France with a neutral frontier close at hand to assist your escape. You will have to get through a port, and it will not be easy ... It will mean death if you are in the slightest degree careless. You must remember that all foreigners will be watched everywhere. Your correspondence will be opened and your luggage will be ransacked. They will go over your passport with a microscope to see that it is not forged and they will make you notify every change of address that you have.[21]
To Steinhauer's apparent surprise, Lody appeared nonchalant about the danger that he was about to go into. "Well, after all, one might as well die that way as any other," Lody said, according to Steinhauer; "I shall be rendering the Fatherland a service and no other German can do more than that."[21] At a final meeting at the Anhalter Bahnhof in Berlin, Steinhauer repeated his warnings, but Lody "only laughed at me and told me my fears were groundless."[22] Steinhauer regarded Lody's ability to carry out his mission as "practically nil" and warned the Chief of Naval Intelligence not to send him to the UK, but the warning went unheeded.[21] He recalled that "as he had specially volunteered for the task – and I must admit there were very few people in Berlin just then anxious to accompany him – they allowed him to go."[22]
As Steinhauer noted in his autobiography, the UK was a dangerous environment for a foreign agent. Only five years previously, the country had not had a dedicated counter-espionage organisation. In 1909 a series of spy scares fanned by the press led to the establishment of the Secret Service Bureau, jointly headed by Captain Vernon Kell and Lieutenant-Commander Mansfield Cumming.[23] They soon split their responsibilities; Kell took charge of counter-espionage, while Cumming focused on foreign intelligence. These two divisions of the Secret Service Bureau eventually became two independent intelligence agencies, MI5 and MI6.[24] The Bureau quickly identified a list of possible German agents in the UK. Just before the outbreak of war on 4 August 1914, Chief Constables across Britain and Ireland were instructed to arrest suspects in their areas. This was done quickly and a number of German agents were caught, crippling German intelligence operations in the UK at a crucial moment in the war.[25] Steinhauer himself had been lucky to escape arrest; he was known by name to the British authorities and he had been spying on the Royal Navy in Scotland as recently as late June 1914.[26]
Scotland [ edit ]
Lody's telegraph to "Adolf Burchard" in Sweden, which revealed his assumed identity to the British authorities
Lody embarked on his mission "so hastily that he did not even have time to learn a code that might have assisted him to get his messages through", according to Steinhauer[27] Posing as an American tourist, Lody left Berlin on 14 August, travelling via Denmark to the Norwegian port of Bergen.[20] There he boarded a ship that took him to Newcastle, arriving on the evening of 27 August. He took a train to the North British Hotel (now the Balmoral Hotel) adjacent to Edinburgh Waverley railway station. On 30 August, he sent a telegram from Edinburgh's main post office to an Adolf Burchard at 4 Drottninggatan, Stockholm – a cover address for a German agent in Sweden. The message said: "Must cancel Johnson very ill last four days shall leave shortly" and was signed "Charles". As it was an overseas telegram, he had to sign for it with his full (alias) name.[28]
The Secret Service Bureau's counter-espionage section had by now become part of the War Office's Directorate of Military Operations and was known as MO5(g). At the outbreak of war it instituted widespread censorship of letters and telegrams sent abroad.[28] From 4 August all mails from the UK to Norway and Sweden had been brought to London for examination to identify any being sent to suspect addresses.[29] Fatally for Lody, MO5(g) was already aware that the Stockholm address was that of a German agent, and was watching for correspondence using the "Johnson" formula employed in Lody's telegram.[28] "Burchard" was later identified as a German agent by the name of K. Leipziger. After Lody sent his telegram to "Burchard", exposing his "Charles Inglis" alias on the telegram form, MO5(g)'s Letter Interception Unit conducted a back-tracking exercise to find any other messages sent to the same place.[30] One of MO5(g)'s censors later described the scene at Salisbury House in London, where the Letter Interception Unit was based:
Several names were written on a large blackboard which hung on the wall, plainly visible, and we had to keep a sharp look-out for any mention of these in letters we read. The names were those of persons suspected of sending information to Germany via neutral countries. In addition, a short sentence was scribbled up on this board: 'Johnson is ill'. The Admiralty knew that somewhere in Britain a German officer was travelling about who intended to use this formula to convey the news of certain movements of the British fleet.[31]
The "Johnson" telegram reached its destination and was only identified retrospectively by the British authorities. It was said to have indicated the presence of four British battleships,[20] though the censors took its meaning to be that "he was being watched and in danger & would have to leave Edinburgh which he did later on."[28]
Having inadvertently exposed his assumed identity, Lody's subsequent communications came under close scrutiny by MO5(g). He left his Edinburgh hotel on 1 September, and moved to a boarding-house in Drumsheugh Gardens, where he gave his name as Charles A. Inglis of New York City and paid as a weekly boarder. Three days later he sent a letter in English to the same Stockholm address, enclosing an envelope with a second letter, in German and addressed to Berlin. This was intercepted by the British authorities, opened, photographed, sealed again and sent on to Sweden.[32] A post-war report by MI5, the successor organisation to MO5(g), explains that it was treated this way "in the hope of learning more."[29]
Lody's letter of 4 September 1914, reporting as true the unfounded rumour that Russian troops had landed in Scotland and were travelling south by train
In this instance MO5(g) was happy to let Lody's letters go through as they contained information that was wildly misleading and caused serious (and needless) worry to the German High Command.[33] Lody had heard the widespread rumour that thousands of Russian troops with "snow on their boots" had passed through Scotland en route to the Western Front, and relayed it to his controllers in Berlin:
Will you kindly communicate with Berlin at once by wire (code or whatever system at your disposal) and inform them that on Sept. 3rd great masses of Russian soldiers have passed through Edinburgh on their way to London and France. Although it must be expected that Berlin has knowledge of these movements, which probably took its start at Archangel, it may be well to forward this information. It is estimated here that 60,000 men have passed, numbers which seem greatly exaggerated. I went to the depot [station] and noticed trains passing through at high speed, blinds down. The landing in Scotland took place at Aberdeen. Yours very truly Charles.[32]
Lody's information was entirely inaccurate and had been gleaned, as he was to admit at his trial, purely from rumours: "I heard it in the boarding-house and I heard it in the barber's shop."[32] His second letter, in German, was addressed to "Herr Stammer" at German naval intelligence in Courbierestrasse, Berlin, and contained details of British naval losses and vessels stationed at Leith and Grangemouth. He had obtained details of the naval vessels simply by climbing Calton Hill in Edinburgh and observing the panorama from the summit, and by taking a promenade along the seafront at Grangemouth, used by thousands of citizens as a popular excursion. He was worried about the risks that he was taking and stated in his letter that he would not go near any place where he could be challenged, or where barricades and restrictions prevented access.[34] His lack of training or preparation meant that these letters, like all of his communications, were written with no attempt at concealment whatsoever – no code or invisible ink – and were composed entirely en clair in ordinary written English or German.[29]
On 7 September, Lody went to a cycle shop at Haymarket Terrace to hire a bicycle. He told the owner's daughter that he was an American from New York who was sojourning in Edinburgh after the outbreak of war had spoiled a holiday in Europe. He was staying there for a few days while he waited for a berth to become available on a ship to America, as all the transatlantic vessels were fully booked with returnees. He said that he wanted to cycle to places around Edinburgh such as Rosyth and Queensferry and arranged to hire a bicycle. The owner's daughter warned him that some roads were now guarded and he should stop immediately if challenged by a sentry, to which he replied, "Oh, I am only going to be cycling about for pleasure!"[35]
For the next week, Lody followed a routine of staying in his room until noon, going out for the afternoon and returning between 5 and 7 pm. He sometimes went out on his bicycle again in the evening. He spent his time looking for information and on 14 September sent a second envelope to Stockholm. This time it was merely a wrapper containing a second envelope, inside which was a letter addressed to the editor of a Berlin newspaper, Ullstein Verlag,[35] in which Lody said:
Enclosed cutting from the Edinburgh The News of the World. Typical for the English way of causing ill-feeling and at the same time characteristic of the perfect ignorance of journalists in this country regarding the difference between military weapons and military tools. But this does not make any difference, the population here believe everything. Yours truly Nazi.[b][35]
This too was intercepted and photographed but, as it was a relatively harmless letter, it was forwarded on while the British authorities continued to monitor Lody's communications in the hope of finding out more about the German espionage network. The day after sending it, on 15 September, Lody travelled to London to reconnoitre the city's war preparations.[35] Travelling light, he stayed for two nights at the Ivanhoe Hotel in Bloomsbury (now the Bloomsbury Street Hotel) and set to work finding information about the security measures at public buildings. He said later that he had not actually observed the buildings himself but had obtained cuttings from newspapers, which he intended to send to Berlin. He also wrote a report on 16 September, but claimed that he had never sent it – it was never found by the British – as he felt that it was poorly written.[37]
Lody returned to Edinburgh on 17 September, taking the train from King's Cross to Edinburgh. He met a young Scottish woman, Ida McClyment, gave her his card and talked with her a while before going into another carriage to smoke. There he overheard a conversation between two men, one apparently a submariner travelling to the naval base at Rosyth and the other a sailor who talked about Harwich. Lody later professed his surprise at how the two men were "talking in a rather free way, considering the present times". One of the men talked about the difficulties of serving on a submarine, while the other asked Lody: "What country are you? Are you from the other side?" Lody replied, "Yes, I am an American."[37] They began discussing the war and talked about the recent sinking of the cruiser HMS Pathfinder, which had become the first ship ever to be sunk by a torpedo fired by a submarine. The sailor told Lody, "We are going to put out mines as the Germans have done so. We have a big surprise in store for the Germans." Lody was not convinced and, after shaking hands with the sailor, left the smoking car.[38]
The British Guard Fleet anchored in the Firth of Forth. Lody sought to gather information on Royal Navy ships in the Firth during his stay in Edinburgh.
Lody went back to his lodgings at Drumsheugh Gardens and continued to walk and cycle around the area. He made the acquaintance of two girls he met on Princes Street and went out with them on a couple of evenings. He gave up cycling after an accident on 25 September, in which he collided with a bicycle being ridden by one of his landlady's friends while riding from Peebles to Edinburgh, causing her "some little injury". He returned his damaged bicycle to the shop where he had rented it.[38]
On 27 September, Lody wrote another letter in German to "Burchard", enclosing press cuttings about the chivalry of British seamen and the sinking of the cruisers HMS Aboukir, Cressy and Hogue. The letter included a good deal of detailed information about naval movements and fortifications, such as the artillery defences of North Berwick, Kinghorn and North and South Queensferry.[39] It was clear by now to Lody that his mission was not going successfully. The decisive naval battle that the German Admiralty had anticipated had not happened, and Lody was becoming increasingly fearful for his personal security. He said later:
I was in Edinburgh and I had nothing to do, and simply spent my time. I was terribly nervous. I was unaccustomed to it, and I was frightened walking about Edinburgh. I had this suit made. I was frightened to go about.[38]
The environment in Lody's boarding-house was becoming increasingly hostile; his hosts were growing suspicious of him. Their doubts grew as the ongoing espionage scare progressed. He had stayed there for more than three weeks and his evasive answers when questioned about when he expected to leave did not satisfy them. When they said that his accent appeared to be "more German than American", he knew it was time to go. He wrote in his letter of 27 September that "the fear of espionage is very great and every day I see some Germans going to Redford Barracks under the escort of a soldier ... It is advisable for me to vanish for a few days, and to change my place of abode. I can only hope that my telegraphic and letter information have duly arrived."[40] He told his controllers that he would go to Ireland, disembarking at Dublin as it was the only Irish port not closed to foreigners. Despite his hopes, his letter was intercepted by the British; this time it was retained as the information therein was of genuine military value.[29]
Journey to Ireland and capture [ edit ]
(in the centre left of the photograph) from 27 September to 2 October 1914 Sackville Street (now O'Connell Street), Dublin, where Lody and his companion John Lee stayed at the Gresham Hotel from 27 September to 2 October 1914
Lody left his boarding-house hastily on the morning of 27 September and stayed overnight at the Roxburgh Hotel in Edinburgh. He left some of his luggage there, telling the manageress that he would be away for about eight days, and travelled the next day to Liverpool, where he took a room at the London and North Western Hotel on Lime Street. He bought a ticket to Ireland and took the SS Munster to Dublin via Kingstown (now Dún Laoghaire). It stopped at Holyhead in Anglesey, where an immigration official challenged Lody. His American travel documents proved sufficient to demonstrate his bona fides, and he proceeded on his way.[41]
Lody's controllers realised that his mission was not going according to plan and attempted to get in touch with him to provide assistance. A letter dated 8 September was sent to Charles A. Inglis c/o Thomas Cook, Edinburgh, but he never collected it, and may never have been aware of it.[29] Another German agent, Paul Daelen, was ordered to go to Britain and provide Lody with a new cover address. Daelen reached England too late. Lody had already travelled to Ireland without giving his controllers a means of contacting him.[20]
During his journey to Ireland, Lody met a Minneapolis doctor, John William Lee, who had been studying eye, ear, nose and throat diseases in Vienna before the outbreak of war had compelled him to leave. Lee was planning to travel back to New York aboard the RMS Baltic, leaving Queenstown (now Cobh) on 7 October, and intended to spend a few days exploring Ireland before his departure.[42] Lody asked where Lee was planning to stay in Dublin; Lee told him that it would probably be the Gresham Hotel on Sackville Street, to which Lody replied, "All right, let's go there." They travelled together to the hotel, booked into separate rooms, had dinner together and went to the Empire Theatre. Lody told Lee that he had been based in Germany working for an American adding-machine company. When the conversation turned to the war, Lody opined that the German army was a very well-trained body of strong-bodied and enduring men, and that it would be hard to beat them. The following day they had breakfast together and went for a walk in Phoenix Park.[42]
While Lee was exchanging some money at Thomas Cook on 30 September, Lody wrote a further letter in German to "Burchard", clarifying his reasons for coming to Ireland and describing what he had seen on his journey. He explained:
I think it is absolutely necessary to disappear for some time because several people have approached me in a disagreeable manner. That does not happen to me only, but several Americans here have told me that they are sharply watched. Fear of espionage is very great and one smells a spy in every stranger.[42]
Lody described anti-Zeppelin precautions he had heard about in London and provided details of the conversions of the Cunard Line steamships RMS Aquitania and Lusitania for their wartime service, which he had seen while in Liverpool.[43] Once again the letter was intercepted by the British and not allowed to go forward to Stockholm. Lody and Lee spent another evening in Dublin before going on a day-trip by coach to Glendalough to see the lough and the surrounding countryside. On 2 October they parted with an agreement to meet again in Killarney the following day. Lee travelled to Drogheda, where he stayed overnight, while Lody went straight to Killarney and found a room at the Great Southern Hotel (now the Malton Hotel).[44]
Lody was unaware that his latest letters had galvanised the British authorities into action. They had hitherto been content with merely monitoring his communications but the militarily significant content of his most recent letters caused them to consider him now to be a serious threat. It did not take them long to catch up with him. His lack of even basic security precautions had left the authorities with a trail of clues that enabled them to track him down in less than a day.[44]
While Lody was travelling to Killarney on the morning of 2 October, an Edinburgh City Police detective was ordered to enquire at hotels for a person named Inglis. The detective found that Lody had stayed at the Roxburgh Hotel and was shown his luggage, which still had a label attached bearing the name and address Charles A. Inglis, Bedford House, 12 Drumsheugh Gardens. An interview with the proprietor of the boarding-house where Lody had stayed enabled the police to reconstruct his movements, while the manageress of the Roxburgh was able to tell them that he had gone to Ireland.[44]
The police sent a report to Lieutenant-Colonel Vernon Kell of MO5(g) on the same day to summarise their findings, and put a constant watch on the Roxburgh in case Lody returned. In the meantime, MO5(g) contacted the Irish Sea ports to find whether Lody had passed through them. Affirmative answers came back from Liverpool and Holyhead.[44] Later that same afternoon MO5(g) sent a telegram to the Assistant Inspector General of the Royal Irish Constabulary in Dublin, which read:
Suspected German Agent believed to be passing in name of CHARLES INGLIS as American Subject travelled from Edinburgh after 26 Sept via Liverpool & Holyhead where his passport noted and name taken. Stayed last night Gresham Hotel Dublin believed moving on to Belfast. Should be arrested and all documents seized minutest search necessary probably has code with him. Important to get specimens of his handwriting if possible. Kindly wire result.[45]
The RIC made the investigation a top priority and replied to London at 7.23 pm on 2 October:
Dr John Lea [sic] of United States arrived in Dublin on 29th with Charles Inglis and stayed at same hotel Inglis has gone to the Country today Lea will join him there tomorrow should he be arrested also description 35 years five feet eight sallow complexion darkened cropped moustache. Had a letter from Austria with him. Inspector General RIC.[46]
At 9.45 pm, District Inspector Cheeseman of the RIC arrived at the Great Southern Hotel in Killarney with a group of constables. He found Lody's name in the visitors' book and went to his room, but did not find him there. Returning to the foyer, Cheeseman saw Lody entering the hotel. He said: "Mr. Inglis, I presume?" to which Lody replied, "Yes, what do you want?" Cheeseman asked him to come to his hotel room and noted that Lody looked upset and frightened. He arrested Lody under the provisions of the Defence of the Realm Act 1914 (DORA) as a suspected German agent, prompting Lody to exclaim, "What is this? Me, a German agent? Take care now; I am an American citizen." When he was searched, his American identity documents were found along with £14 in German gold, 705 Norwegian krone and a small notebook. The latter listed British ships that had been sunk in the North Sea, names and addresses in Hamburg and Berlin and a possible cypher key. It also included copies of the four letters that he had sent to Stockholm. His bag contained a jacket that contained a tailor's ticket reading "J. Steinberg, Berlin, C.H. Lody, 8.5.14".[46]
Throughout all this, Lody's demeanour was relatively calm after the initial shock. Cheeseman observed that Lody only appeared uneasy when his notebook was being examined;[46] the inspector later commented that Lody was not the usual class of man he was accustomed to dealing with, but admitted that he had never met a man under precisely similar circumstances. Cheeseman had been educated in Germany, knew the language and felt able to recognise a German accent; he noticed that Lody's American accent slipped from time to time, presumably due to stress, and became convinced that the man was German.[46]
Lee was also arrested but was released without charge after two days when the investigation cleared him of any involvement in Lody's espionage. He complained about his treatment and the British authorities' refusal to let him see an American consul, and promised to take the matter up with the US State Department on his return. An MO5(g) officer named R.H. Price smoothed things over with him on his release on 4 October, explaining what had prompted his arrest and paying his fare back to his hotel. Price reported, "I think he was quite soothed and he shook hands with me on parting."[46] Lee was unaware that the police had already recommended that both he and "Inglis" should be court-martialled and shot if found guilty.[46]
Legal complications [ edit ]
Lody was taken back to London where he was detained in Wellington Barracks under the watch of the 3rd Battalion, the Grenadier Guards.[47] A meeting of the Cabinet on 8 October decided to try him for "war treason", a decision that has been described as "legally, very curious" by the legal historian A. W. B. Simpson.[48] He was not charged with espionage under either of the two relevant statutes, the Official Secrets Act 1911 or DORA. The principal reason lay in the wording of the Hague Convention of 1907, which states: "A person can only be considered a spy when, acting clandestinely or on false pretences, he obtains or endeavours to obtain information in the zone of operations of a belligerent, with the intention of communicating it to the hostile party."[48] Lody was operating in the British Isles, outside the zone of operations, and was therefore not covered by this definition. Such circumstances had been anticipated by the most recent edition of the British Manual of Military Law, published in February 1914, which recommended that individuals in such cases should be tried for war treason: "Indeed in every case where it is doubtful whether the act consists of espionage, once the fact is established that an individual has furnished or attempted to furnish information to the enemy, no time need be wasted in examining whether the case corresponds exactly to the definition of espionage."[48]
War treason as defined by the Manual covered a very wide range of offences, including "obtaining, supplying and carrying of information to the enemy" or attempting to do so.[48] Its application in Lody's case, rather than the government relying on DORA, was the result of a misunderstanding by the War Office. It had been misinformed in August 1914 that an unidentified German had been captured with a radio transmitter and interned in Bodmin Prison. In fact, no such person existed, but the story led Lord Kitchener, the Secretary of State for War, to ask the Lord Chancellor, Lord Haldane, for advice on how the supposed spy should be dealt with. Haldane stated that the individual should be put before a court martial and executed if found guilty.[49] He wrote:
If an alien belligerent is caught in this country spying or otherwise waging war he can, in my opinion, be Court Martialled and executed. The mere fact that he is resident here and has what is popularly called a domicile is not enough ... When war breaks out an alien becomes prima facie an outlaw ... if he is a spy or takes up arms ... and he becomes a person without legal rights. By international law he must have a trial before punishment but the trial may be by Court Martial. He cannot invoke the jurisdiction of the civil courts.[49]
This theory was relied upon by the Cabinet and the Army Council, which ordered on 9 August that Lody was to be tried by a court martial. There was some confusion about whether Haldane had really meant a court martial rather than a military tribunal, and the Adjutant General questioned whether DORA had limited the maximum punishment for espionage to penal servitude for life, rather than the death penalty. Further confusion was caused by the fact that Lody's identity had not yet been fully established. If he really was an American citizen, he was not an "alien belligerent" and could not be court martialled.[49]
On 21 October 1914 the Cabinet decided that Lody should be handed over to the civil police and tried by the High Court. After Lody then made a statement voluntarily admitting his real name and his status as a German subject, the Cabinet determined the following day that the original plan would be followed after all. The venue for the court martial was to be the Middlesex Guildhall in Parliament Square; Major General Lord Cheylesmore would preside, sitting with eight other officers.[50] In hindsight, according to Simpson, it is doubtful whether the charge and eventual sentence were lawful. A later revision of the Manual of Military Law rejected the view that a spy commits a war crime and alluded to the Lody case in suggesting that war treason was not an applicable charge in such cases. Simpson comments that "it is fairly plain that Lody's execution was unlawful under domestic and international law."[51] This objection was not raised during Lody's trial but it would not have done him any good in any case, as there was no appeal for a decision made by a court martial. In the event, Lody's trial was unique. No other spies captured in Britain were tried for war treason under international law. DORA was amended in November 1914 to permit a death sentence to be imposed.[51] All of the subsequent 26 courts martial of accused spies were heard under DORA, resulting in 10 executions.[52]
Another question that arose was whether Lody's trial should be held in public or in camera. Captain Reginald Drake, MO5(g)'s head of counter-espionage, wanted Lody to be tried secretly so that he could implement "an ingenious method for conveying false information to the enemy which depended on their not knowing which of their agents had been caught."[53] He was overruled, as the British Government believed that it would be more advantageous to publicise the threat of German spies to remove any doubt in the public mind that German espionage posed a serious threat in the UK. It was hoped that this would also generate support for the intelligence and censorship apparatus that was rapidly taking shape and would deter possible imitators. In the event, Lody's was the only spy trial in either World War held in public in the UK.[54] In pursuing this policy the Government sacrificed the chance to "turn" captured spies and turn them into assets for the British intelligence services. It was an opportunity that was taken in the Second World War when the highly successful Double-Cross System was implemented.[53]
Trial [ edit ]
Lody in the dock in the Middlesex Guildhall during his court martial
The court martial was held over three days between Friday 30 October and Monday 2 November. Lody was charged with two offences of war treason concerning the two letters he had sent from Edinburgh on 27 September and Dublin on 30 September. In both letters, the charge sheet stated that Lody had sought "to convey to a belligerent enemy of Great Britain, namely Germany" information relating to the UK's defences and preparations for war. He pleaded not guilty to both charges.[50] He made an immediate impression on observers when he first appeared in court. The Daily Express reporter described him as:
a South German in appearance – a short, well-built man of thirty-eight [sic - actually 37], with a broad, low forehead that slopes backward, black hair parted in the middle and brushed backward, a broad, short nose, large, deep-set, dark eyes with a look of keen intelligence in their depths, and tight-set lips.[55]
Sir Archibald Bodkin, the Director of Public Prosecutions, set out the case for the prosecution. The evidence was overwhelming; the prosecution case highlighted the contents of Lody's notebook and the luggage that he had left at the Roxburgh Hotel, and called a series of witnesses, including the elderly Scottish woman who ran the boarding-house in which he had stayed in Edinburgh and the fashionably dressed Ida McClyment, who caused a stir when she described her meeting with Lody aboard the London to Edinburgh train.[56] Bodkin did not read the incriminating letters aloud, due to the sensitivity of their content, but described them in general terms. The witnesses testified about their interactions with Lody and identified him as the man who had posed as "Charles A. Inglis",[57] though the proprietress of the Edinburgh boarding-house experienced some difficulty. When she "was asked if she could see 'Charles A. Inglis' in court, [she] looked everywhere except at the dock. Lody, who was sitting, stood up and gently waved his hands to attract her attention, while he smiled broadly and almost broke into laughter at the absurdity of the situation."[55]
Late on 30 October, Lody wrote to a friend in Omaha to tell him about his feelings before he began his defence. He told his friend:
I am prepared to make a clean breast of all this trouble, but I must protect my friends in the Fatherland and avoid as much possible humiliation for those who have been near and dear to me. I am in the Tower [sic – actually Wellington Barracks]. Hourly while I am confined here an unfriendly guard paces the corridor. My counsellor [George Elliot QC] is an attorney of standing, but I ofttimes feel that he is trying to do his duty to his country rather than defend his client. Next week I shall know my fate, although there can hardly be a doubt as to what it is to be. I have attended to such legal matters as were necessary, but whether my wishes will ever be carried out I do not know. You may have an opportunity to say a word to some of those for whom I feel an interest. Ask them to judge me not harshly, When they hear of me again, doubtless my body shall have been placed in concrete beneath this old tower, or my bones shall have made a pyre. But I shall have served my country. Maybe some historian will record me among the despised class of war victims … Doubtless my demise shall be heralded as that of a spy, but I have spiritual consolation. Others have suffered and I must accept the reward of fate.[50]
The second day of the trial was interrupted when a young man whom The Times described as being "of foreign appearance"[58] was arrested and removed from the court on the orders of Captain Reginald "Blinker" Hall, the Director of Naval Intelligence. The interloper was one Charles Stuart Nairne, an Irishman and former Royal Navy lieutenant whom Hall spotted in the public gallery and considered to be "either a lunatic or a very dangerous person".[20] As Nairne was being removed into military custody, he attempted to shake Lody's hand in the dock.[58]
Lody was then called to give evidence. It was revealed to the public for the first time that he was an officer in the Imperial German Navy and that he had been ordered by a superior officer to spy in Britain. When he was asked for the name of that individual, his composure temporarily deserted him, as The Times' reporter recorded:
For the space of perhaps half a minute the prisoner hesitated, and then, in a voice broken by gradually deepening emotion, said, "I have pledged my word not to give that name. I cannot do it. Where names are found in my documents I certainly do not feel I have broken my word, but that name I cannot give. I have given my word of honour." The prisoner sobbed a moment, then turned pale, and gazed before him in a dazed manner. Recovering his self-possession he said, "I beg pardon; my nerves have given way." A glass of water was handed up to the prisoner.[58]
Lody stated that he had been sent to the UK "to remain until the first [naval] encounter had taken place between the two Powers, and to send accurate information as regards the actual losses of the British Fleet", as well as to observe what he could of Fleet movements off the coast. The court martial went into an in camera session while sensitive evidence was being heard.[58] Lody claimed that he had asked in August to be erased from military service on the grounds of poor health and to be allowed to travel to the United States. This was refused, he went on, but a member of naval intelligence whom he had previously never met coaxed him into undertaking a mission in the UK on the condition that he could go to the US afterwards. Lody told the tribunal that he was not pressured but that "I have never been a coward in my life and I certainly would not be a shirker", and that he had persisted with his mission because "once a man has promised to do a thing he does it, that is the understanding." His services were provided "absolutely as an honour and free", while he had never intended to be a spy: "I was pressed for secret service, but not as a spy – oh, no. If that would have been mentioned to me at Berlin I surely would have refused. The word in the sentence, I do not think it goes together." He claimed that he had "pledged my word of honour" not to name his controller.[59]
Little of this was true, but at the time the British had no way of knowing this. The files of the Admiralstab in Berlin show that he was approached by N, rather than volunteering for intelligence service, entered their employment as early as May 1914 (rather than in August as he claimed), received regular pay rather than being unpaid, and intended to return to Berlin on completing his mission.[59] It is unknown whether he really had any intention of going to the US, and there is no indication from the Admiralstab files that he had been asked to keep his controller's name a secret.[60] After hearing Lody's evidence the court martial was adjourned until the following Monday.[58]
On the final day of the court martial, 2 November 1914, the prosecution and defence put forward their final arguments. Lody's counsel argued for mitigation on the grounds that Lody had "[come] to this country actuated by patriotic German motives, entirely paying his own expenses and carrying his life in his hands, to fulfil the mandate of his supporters."[61] As one newspaper report put it,
He wished to go down to his final fate as a brave man, an honest man, and as an open-hearted man. There was no suggestion of an attempt at pleading for mercy or for favourable treatment. "Englishmen will not deny him respect for the courage he has shown," said Mr. Elliott. "His own grandfather, an old soldier, held a fortress against Napoleon … He knows that he carried his life in his hands, and he stands before the Court in that spirit … And he will face the decision of the Court like a man."[62] Lody was asked if he had any statement to make but said, "I have nothing more to say."[61]
The finding of guilt and sentence of death were pronounced in camera, without Lody present, before the court martial was adjourned.[63]
Execution [ edit ]
No public announcement was made of the court martial's verdict. Instead, the following day, the General Officer Commanding London District was sent instructions ordering the sentence to be promulgated on 5 November, with Lody being told, and for the sentence to be carried out at least 18 hours later. Great secrecy surrounded the proceedings which, when combined with the short timeframe, caused problems for the GOC in finding a suitable place of execution.[64] He contacted Major-General Henry Pipon, the Major of the Tower of London, to tell him:
I have been directed to carry out the execution of the German Spy who has been convicted by General Court Martial. The time given me has been short, so short that I have had only a few hours to arrange and have been directed to keep it secret. Under the circumstances the Tower is the only possible place and has been approved by the War Office.[64]
While the Tower may have been "the only possible place", in some respects it was a strange choice. It had not been used as a state prison for many years and the last execution there – that of Lord Lovat, the Jacobite rebel – had taken place in 1747.[65] It was one of London's most popular tourist attractions, recording over 400,000 visitors a year by the end of the 19th century, and remained open to tourists even on the day of Lody's execution. During the Tower's heyday, executions had been carried out in the open air on Tower Hill or Tower Green, but Lody's execution was to take place at the Tower's rifle range located in the eastern part of the Outer Ward between Martin and Constable Towers, behind the Outer Curtain wall and out of public sight. The Tower's custodians, the Yeomen Warders ("Beefeaters"), had long since become tourist guides rather than active-duty soldiers, so eight men were selected from the 3rd Battalion, to carry out the sentence.[66]
Lody was informed of his impending execution on the evening of 5 November and was brought to the Tower in a police van. According to the Daily Express, he "received the news calmly and with no sign of surprise."[67] He was held in the Casemates on the west side of the Tower, an area where the Yeoman Warders now live. His last meal was probably prepared by one of the Warders' wives, as the Tower had no proper accommodation or dining facilities for prisoners.[66] While at the Tower he wrote a couple of final letters. One was addressed to the Commanding Officer of the 3rd Battalion to thank his captors for their care of him:
Sir, I feel it my duty as a German officer to express my sincere thanks and appreciation towards the staff of officers and men who were in charge of my person during my confinement. Their kind and considered treatment has called my highest esteem and admiration as regards good fellowship even towards the enemy and if I may be permitted, I would thank you for making this known to them.[64]
The Guards apparently never saw the letter; the Adjutant General instead directed the letter to be placed in a War Office file rather than being sent to the regiment.[68]
Lody also wrote a letter to his sister, which was published posthumously in the Frankfurter Zeitung newspaper,[69] in which he told her and his other relatives:
My dear ones, I have trusted in God and He has decided. My hour has come, and I must start on the journey through the Dark Valley like so many of my comrades in this terrible War of Nations. May my life be offered as a humble offering on the altar of the Fatherland. A hero's death on the battlefield is certainly finer, but such is not to be my lot, and I die here in the Enemy's country silent and unknown, but the consciousness that I die in the service of the Fatherland makes death easy. The Supreme Court-Martial of London has sentenced me to death for Military Conspiracy. Tomorrow I shall be shot here in the Tower. I have had just Judges, and I shall die as an Officer, not as a spy. Farewell. God bless you, Hans.[70]

Lody also left instructions that his ring was to be forwarded to his ex-wife, which was carried out after his execution.[71]
At dawn on the morning of 6 November 1914, in cold, foggy and bleak weather, Lody was fetched from his cell by the Assistant Provost-Marshal, Lord Athlumney. He asked, "I suppose that you will not care to shake hands with a German spy?", to which the reply came, "No. But I will shake hands with a brave man."[60] A small procession formed up for the short journey to the rifle range, comprising Lody and his armed escort, the Tower's Chaplain and the eight-man firing squad. John Fraser, one of the Yeoman Warders, witnessed it and later described it:
Nobody liked this sort of thing. It was altogether too cold-blooded for an ordinary stomach (particularly that of a soldier, who hates cold-bloodedness) to face with equanimity, and it is not too much to say that, of that sad little procession, the calmest and most composed member was the condemned man himself. For the Chaplain, in particular, it was a bad time. He had never had a similar experience, and his voice had a shake in it as he intoned the solemn words of the Burial Service over the living form of the man it most concerned . . . The escort and the firing-party, too, were far from comfortable, and one could see that the slow march suitable to the occasion was getting badly on their nerves. They wanted to hurry over it, and get the beastly business finished. But the prisoner walked steadily, stiffly upright, and yet as easily and unconcernedly as though he was going to a tea-party, instead of to his death. His eyes were upturned to the gloomy skies, and his nostrils eagerly drank in the precious air that was soon to be denied them. But his face was quite calm and composed – almost expressionless.[72]
At the rifle range Lody was strapped into a chair. He refused to have his eyes bandaged, as he wished to die with his eyes open. A few moments later the inhabitants of the Tower heard "the muffled sound of a single volley".[72] His body was taken away to be buried in an unmarked grave in the East London Cemetery in Plaistow.[73] The War Office issued a terse announcement of the execution a few days later on 10 November: "Sentence is duly confirmed."[74]
Reaction [ edit ]
Lody's courageous demeanour in court produced widespread sympathy and admiration, a development that neither side had anticipated. Even his captors were captivated; although MO5(g) had recommended his execution as early as 3 October,[53] by the time the trial was over, Kell was said by his wife to have considered Lody a "really fine man" of whom Kell "felt it deeply that so brave a man should have to pay the death penalty for carrying out what he considered to be his duty to his country."[75] Sir Basil Thomson of Scotland Yard commented that "there was some difference of opinion as to whether it was sound policy to execute spies and to begin with a patriotic spy like Lody."[76] According to Robert Jackson, the biographer of Lody's prosecutor Sir Archibald Bodkin, Lody's "bearing and frankness when caught so impressed Britain's spy-catchers and prosecutors that they talked about trying to get the Government to waive the internationally recognised rule that spies caught in wartime automatically are put to death. Only the certainty that Germany would not be as merciful to our own spies made them refrain."[77] Thomson also paid tribute to Lody in his 1937 book The Scene Changes:
Lody won the respect of all who came into contact with him. In the quiet heroism with which he faced his trial and his execution there was no suspicion of play-acting. He never flinched, he never cringed, but he died as one would wish all Englishmen to die – quietly and undramatically, supported by the proud consciousness of having done his duty.[76]
Lody's conduct was contrasted favourably with the German spies captured after him, many of whom were nationals of neutral countries, who followed him to the execution chair. Lady Constance Kell commented that "most of the agents employed by the Germans worked only for the money they gained and were regarded with utter contempt".[75] Similarly, Thomson described "the scum of neutral spies", of whom he said, "we came to wish that a distinction could have been made between patriotic spies like Lody and the hirelings who pestered us through the ensuing years".[76] Shortly after Lody's death he was described in the House of Commons as "a patriot who had died for his country as much as any soldier who fell in the field."[60]
The British and German publics also took a positive view of Lody. His trial became something of a celebrity occasion; as The New York Times observed, on the first day, "many fashionably dressed women thronged the galleries of the courtroom"[78] and the final day was attended by "many leaders of London society as well as by prominent jurists, politicians, and military and naval men."[65] The Daily Express opined that "one cannot withhold a tribute to his daring resourcefulness and inflexible courage" and called Lody "one of the cleverest spies in Steinhauer's service", though it advised its readers to bear in mind that he was "a most dangerous spy."[67]
Louise Storz, Lody's former wife, received his ring in early December along with a letter from him. She refused to disclose its contents, saying, "It is his last message to me and in no way concerns anyone else. The ring had also been our wedding ring."[71] She spoke of her reaction to his death in an interview in November 1914 with The Kansas City Star while visiting Excelsior Springs, Missouri. She said:
My nerves are completely upset and I have come to this quiet place where I hope to escape even the loving sympathy of my many friends in Omaha. I want to forget. But the awfulness of such a fate, I fear, I cannot soon erase from my memory ... He was so fine in so many ways. Of fine learning, an accomplished linguist, and of high courage. He used to talk entrancingly of his love and devotion to his country. It must have been a beautiful thing, according to his way of thinking, to die if need be for his Fatherland. But I want to forget. I owe it to myself and my parents to call the chapter closed.[9]
Her father refused to comment, saying that his interest in the Lody case was "only a passing one".[74] A rumour had it that the German government paid Louise Storz $15,000 in compensation for her ex-husband's death, but she denied this in 1915.[79]
In Germany, Lody's home town of Nordhausen planted an oak tree in his memory.[80] Newspaper commentary was limited; the first article about the case that The Times noted was only published around 19 November, in the Frankfurter Zeitung, in which a pseudonymous columnist suggested that the British might have been tempted to show Lody mercy: "I myself am convinced that the noble manliness with which this strong German composure bore itself before the Court touched the heart of the Judge, that the Judge said "If only we English had many such Hans Lodys!" and that Hans Lody lives ... We shall not forget him, for he staked his country more than his life – his name and his honour."[81] A death notice was published in early December in the Stuttgarter Neues Tagblatt, stating that he had "died the hero's death for the Fatherland in England, November 6".[82]
Lody's death produced a low-key response from the German government. The Admiralstab recommended at the end of 1914 that he should be awarded a posthumous Iron Cross, Second Class, and argued that the recruitment of naval agents would be assisted if espionage could be rewarded with such a prestigious medal. The Kaiser agreed, though not without some reluctance.[54]
The bravery Lody exhibited during his trial and execution was praised by many post-war British writers. Sir George Aston, writing in his 1930 book Secret Service, called on his readers to "pay a tribute to a real German spy of the highest type ... Karl Lody",[60] while John Bulloch commented in his 1963 history of MI5 that Lody's bearing made him "something of a hero even in the country against which he was working."[60] E.T. Woodhall, a former detective, collected accounts from officers who had been involved in the investigation and wrote in 1932: "They are unanimous in their admiration for his manly and brazen qualities, but they all criticise his amazing lack of caution ... He was admired by everybody for his bravery and straightforward, patriotic devotion to his country."[83]
Lody may have had more complex motives than simple patriotism. Thomas Boghardt notes the "exceptional" way in which Lody bore himself at his trial, pointing out that "virtually all other German agents accused of espionage understandably tried to deny or minimise their involvement with N".[84] Boghardt had the advantage of being able to review the Admiralstab's files on the case and highlights "small but important changes", or rather discrepancies, between Lody's statements in court and the facts preserved in the case files.[16] As Boghardt puts it,
All this suggests that Lody was less concerned with averting a harsh sentence than he was with projecting a certain image of himself, that of a patriot who, despite his reluctance to join the secret service, rendered his fatherland a final service before starting a new life in America; in short, a 'man of honour' rather than a traitorous spy. Until his death, Lody conformed superbly to this image ... During the last weeks of his life, Lody tried to shatter the negative image usually attached to spies, and in this regard he was utterly successful.[60]
Lody, suggests Boghardt, "had accepted his trial and probable execution as a form of expiation for events that had occurred long before his becoming a secret agent."[16] He raises the possibility that Lody was motivated by what had happened two years earlier in Omaha,[16] when Lody had responded to the accusations of being a wife-beater by declaring that he would "defend the honour of a gentleman".[11] Boghardt comments that "his eagerness to display his honour may indicate a concern that others doubted this very quality in him. While presenting himself to the world as a man of honour and accepting his fate courageously, Lody may have found comfort and strength in the thought that whoever had doubted his honour previously would now be persuade otherwise."[16]
From spy to national hero [ edit ]
During the Nazi era, Lody's memory was appropriated by the new regime to promote a more muscular image of German patriotism. An elaborate commemoration of his death was held in Lübeck on 6 November 1934, when flags across the city flew at half-mast and bells tolled between 6.45 and 7 am, the time of his execution. Later that day a memorial was unveiled at the Burgtor gateway near the harbour, depicting a knight in armour with a closed visor (representing Lody), with his hands fettered (representing captivity) and a serpent entwining his feet (representing betrayal). Below it an inscription was set into the gate's brickwork, reading "CARL HANS LODY starb für uns 6.11.1914 im Tower zu London" ("Carl Hans Lody died for us 6.11.1914 in the Tower of London").[85]
During the unveiling ceremony, which was attended by Lody's sister and representatives of the present Reichsmarine and old Imperial German Navy, the road leading from the gateway to the harbour was also renamed "Karl-Hans-Lody-Weg". On the same day, officers from the Hamburg-America Line presented city officials with a ship's bell bearing the inscription "In Memory of Karl Hans Lody", to be rung each 6 November at the time of his death.[85] After World War II, when Lübeck was part of the British Zone of Occupation, the statue was taken down and the niche in which it stood was bricked up, though the inscription was allowed to remain and is still visible today.[86]
Lody was further memorialised in 1937 when the newly launched destroyer Z10 was christened Hans Lody.[87] Other ships in the same class were also given the names of German officers who had died in action.[88] The ship served throughout the Second World War in the Baltic and North Sea theatres, survived the war and was captured by the British in 1945. After a few years in Royal Navy service she was scrapped in Sunderland in 1949.[89]
Lody was also the subject of literary and stage works; a hagiographic biographical account, Lody – Ein Weg um Ehre (Lody – One Way to Honour), was published by Hans Fuchs in 1936 and a play called Lody: vom Leben und Sterben eines deutschen Offiziers (Lody: the life and death of a German officer), by Walter Heuer, premiered on Germany's National Heroes' Day in 1937. It depicts Lody as brave and patriotic but clumsy, leaving a trail of clues behind him as he travels in the UK: wearing clothes marked "Made in Germany", writing naval secrets on the back of a bus ticket which he loses and a Scotland Yard detective finds, coming to attention when an orchestra in London plays the German naval anthem, arousing suspicion when he calls for German wine while writing secret reports to Berlin, and leaving incriminating letters in the pockets of suits which he sends to be pressed. Lody is arrested in London and sentenced to death. Offered a chance to escape, he refuses and drinks a glass of wine with the firing squad, toasting Anglo-German friendship. He is led out to his execution, saying his final words: "I shall see Germany once more – from the stars." The Dundee Evening Telegraph described the storyline as "quaint".[90]
The Lodystraße in Berlin was named in his honour.
Burial [ edit ]
The grave of Carl Hans Lody in the East London Cemetery, Plaistow
The 17-year-old Bertolt Brecht wrote a eulogy to Lody in 1915 in which he imagined the purpose behind the spy's death:
But that is why you left your life –
So one day, in the bright sunshine
German songs should pour forth in a rush over your grave,
German flags should fly over it in the sun's gold,
And German hands should strew flowers over it.[91]
The reality was very different. Lody's body was buried in an unmarked common grave in the East London Cemetery in Plaistow along with seventeen other men – ten executed spies and seven prisoners who died of ill-health or accidents. It was not until 1924 that the grave received a marker, at the instigation of the German Embassy. Lody's relatives were visiting it once a year and enquired whether his body could be exhumed and buried in a private grave. The War Office agreed, providing that the body could be identified, but the Foreign Office was more reluctant and pointed out that a licence for exhumation would have to be authorised by the Home Office. The Lody family placed a white headstone and kerb on the grave some time around 1934.[92]
In September 1937 the German government again requested that Lody's body be exhumed and moved to a separate grave. This proved impractical for several reasons; he had been buried with seven other men, each coffin had been cemented down and the lapse of time would make identification very difficult. Instead, the British Imperial War Graves Commission suggested that a memorial should be constructed in another part of the cemetery to bear the names of all the German civilians who were buried there. The proposal met with German agreement and the memorial was duly installed. During the Second World War, Lody's original headstone was destroyed by misaimed Luftwaffe bombs. It was replaced in 1974.[92]
One further proposal was made to rebury Lody in the 1960s. In 1959 the British and German governments agreed to move German war dead who had been buried in various locations around the UK to a new central cemetery at Cannock Chase in Staffordshire. The German War Graves Commission (VDK) asked if it would be possible to disinter Lody's body and move it to Cannock Chase. By that time, the plot had been reused for further common graves, buried above Lody's body. The VDK was told that it would not be possible to disinter the other bodies without the permission of the relatives, which would have been an almost impossible task where common graves were concerned. The proposal was abandoned and Lody's body remains at Plaistow.[93] | positive |
Radiation from Japan's leaking Fukushima nuclear power plant has reached waters offshore Canada, researchers said today at the annual American Geophysical Union's Ocean Sciences Meeting in Honolulu.
Two radioactive cesium isotopes, cesium-134 and cesium-137, have been detected offshore of Vancouver, British Columbia, researchers said at a news conference. The detected concentrations are much lower than the Canadian safety limit for cesium levels in drinking water, said John Smith, a research scientist at Canada's Bedford Institute of Oceanography in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.
Tests conducted at U.S. beaches indicate that Fukushima radioactivity has not yet reached Washington, California or Hawaii, said Ken Buesseler, a senior scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute in Woods Hole, Mass.
"We have results from eight locations, and they all have cesium-137, but no cesium-134 yet," Buesseler said. (Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei. In this case, cesium-137 has more neutrons than cesium-134.)
The scientists are tracking a radioactive plume from Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Three nuclear reactors at the power plant melted down after the March 11, 2011, Tohoku earthquake. The meltdown was triggered by the massive tsunami that followed the quake. [Fukushima Radiation Leak: 5 Things You Should Know]
Cesium signals
The initial nuclear accident from the Fukushima reactors released several radioactive isotopes, such as iodine-131, cesium-134 and cesium-137. Cesium-137 has a half-life of 30 years and remains in the environment for decades. Cesium-134, with a half-life of only two years, is an unequivocal marker of Fukushima ocean contamination, Smith said.
"The only cesium-134 in the North Pacific is there from Fukushima," he said. Cesium-137, on the other hand, is also present from nuclear weapons tests and discharge from nuclear power plants.
Smith and his colleagues tracked rising levels of cesium-134 at several ocean monitoring stations west of Vancouver in the North Pacific beginning in 2011. By June 2013, the concentration reached 0.9 Becquerels per cubic meter, Smith said. All of the cesium-134 was concentrated in the upper 325 feet (100 m) of the ocean, he said. They are awaiting results from a February 2014 sampling trip.
The U.S. safety limit for cesium levels in drinking water is about 28 Becquerels, the number of radioactive decay events per second, per gallon (or 7,400 Becquerels per cubic meter). For comparison, uncontaminated seawater contains only a few Becquerels per cubic meter of cesium.
Cesium-137 levels at U.S. beaches were 1.3 to 1.7 Becquerels per cubic meter, Buesseler said. That's similar to background levels in the ocean from nuclear weapons testing, suggesting the Fukushima plume has not reached the U.S. coastline yet, he said.
The new monitoring data does not show which of two competing models best predicts the future concentration of Fukushima radiation along the U.S. West Coast, Smith said. These models suggest that radionuclides from Fukushima will begin to arrive on the West Coast in early 2014 and peak in 2016. However, the models differ in their predictions of the peak concentration of cesium — from a low of 2 to a maximum of 27 Becquerels per cubic meter. Both peaks are well below the highest level recorded in the Baltic Sea after Chernobyl, which was 1,000 Becquerels per cubic meter.
"It's still a little too early to know which one is correct," Smith said.
Safety concerns
The impending arrival of radioactive contaminants from Fukushima has raised concerns among coastal residents in the United States and Canada. But oceanographers and radiation experts say the radiation levels will be too low to threaten human health.
"These levels are clearly not a human or biological threat in Canada," Smith said.
Fukushima’s radiation reached coastal Canada first because of the powerful Kuroshio Current, which flows from Japan across the Pacific. The plume will then flow down the coast of North America and circle back toward Hawaii, models predict.
But Buesseler thinks even low levels of contamination merit monitoring, both for human health information and for the wealth of data about Pacific Ocean currents such monitoring could provide. On Jan. 14, he launched a website called "How Radioactive is Our Ocean?", where the public can make tax-deductible donations to support the analysis of existing water samples, or propose and fund new sampling locations along the West Coast.
And at Fukushima, radioactive water continues to escape from the damaged power plant into the ocean. A new leak was reported last week, although that one did not empty into the ocean.

It turns out that bottomless bucket of Gmail storage actually does have a bottom. Just ask Mike Monteiro, the most recent person to break Gmail's usage cap.
So much for, "never delete an e-mail again." When Gmail first launched in 2004, its massive storage space (then 1GB) was a highly touted feature. Over time, the amount of space made available to users has grown — by our count, it looks like standard Gmail and Google Apps users have about 7.3GB at their disposal today. However, users also now send larger e-mail attachments and archive more messages. Still, for non-corporate e-mail users, racking up more than 7GB in e-mail archives is a pretty impressive feat.
A few years ago, when some users first started to hit the ceiling for Gmail storage space, Google rolled out the ability to buy more storage. Nonetheless, it's a problem Google doesn't expect many users to ever encounter.
If we could offer one tip to the big G, it might be to remove that "Who needs to delete when you have so much storage?!" line from the Gmail Trash folder.

SAN FRANCISCO — WhatsApp has reached 900 million monthly active users, cementing Facebook's dominance in mobile messaging.
Facebook owns the world's two most popular apps: WhatsApp, which it bought for billions, and its homegrown app, Facebook Messenger, which recently announced it has 700 million monthly active users.
WhatsApp founder Jan Koum made the announcement on Facebook on Thursday evening.
Monthly active users isn't the best way to measure activity on a messaging app. WhatsApp did not say how many messages are being sent each day, for example. But the growth is impressive. WhatsApp announced it had crossed 800 million in April. That is no small feat for either app: Smartphone owners spend more time in messaging apps than any other app.
Messenger is also surging in popularity. It's now the second-most popular app in the U.S, surpassing Google-owned YouTube, according to a comScore report.
By way of comparison: Twitter has a bit more than 300 million monthly active users. Instagram, the photo and video sharing app owned by Facebook, also has about 300 million.
Still, WhatsApp faces fierce competition from Asian rivals. And those apps are making money from games, virtual goods and other in-app wares, moneymaking opportunities that Koum has rejected.
So far Facebook has not tried to milk WhatsApp and it's still unclear how it plans to. In the first half of 2014, WhatsApp made $15 million from subscription fees on a loss of $232.5 million. WhatsApp was charging users $1 a year, with the first year free, before it was bought by Facebook.
Facebook's chief executive Mark Zuckerberg said during the company’s second-quarter earnings call that the company is not yet ready to turn on the moneymaking spigot with Messenger or WhatsApp.
Zuckerberg has said Facebook has "many clear ways" to make money from a product once it reaches one billion users.
"This may sound a little ridiculous to say, but for us, products don't really get that interesting to turn into businesses until they have about 1 billion people using them," Zuckerberg said in 2014.
One billion people, one out of seven on the planet, used Facebook on a single day in August .
"This was the first time we reached this milestone, and it's just the beginning of connecting the whole world," Zuckerberg wrote.

A man flew from a business meeting in Sheffield to his home in Essex via Berlin because it was £8 cheaper than taking the train.
Not even £8, in fact. Jordon Cox, A.K.A. The Coupon Kid, saved a mind-blowing £7.72 by taking an international flight home via Germany rather than getting on a train.
The 18-year-old, who is deals and coupon blogger at MoneySavingExpert.com, says he always goes the ‘extra mile to save money’, (a gross understatement given he travelled an extra 1,017 miles in this particular case.)

‘Even by my usual standards, I’ll admit this is a rather extreme way of saving money,’ Jordon said.
‘I know that flying is not environmentally friendly and I won’t do this every time I travel, but this was the cheapest way for me to get home and I got to enjoy a ‘free’ mini holiday to a city I’ve always wanted to visit.’

Jordon found the cheapest one-way ticket from Sheffield to Shenfield, Essex was £47, but he could spend £4 on a train from Sheffield to Derby, £4.20 on a bus from Derby to East Midlands Airport, £11.83 on a Ryanair flight to Berlin, £9.54 on a flight from Berlin to Stansted and £8 on his bus ride home, totalling £37.57.
So it was a no-brainer, in other words.
Jordon also got to spend seven hours in Berlin, which he said was a city ‘on his bucket list.’

Search How long are you likely to be infectious with Covid? Tech By Mehra Media Team Share Facebook Twitter Pinterest WhatsApp - Advertisement - London, Aug 19 (Ajit Weekly News) A majority of Covid patients are not infectious before symptoms appear, and once it begins people must isolate for five days, suggests a study published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine journal. The study led by a team at Imperial College of London is the first to unveil how long infectiousness lasts for after natural Covid-19 infection in the community. The team examined 57 people with mild Covid-19 to estimate how long people are infectious for and when they can safely leave isolation. Average duration of infectiousness in the study participants was five days Only one in five participants were infectious before Covid symptoms began Two-thirds of cases were still infectious five days after their symptoms began, and one-quarter were still infectious at seven days, the team said. The researchers recommend that people with Covid isolate for five days after symptoms begin and do lateral flow tests from the sixth day. If tests are negative two days in a row, it is safe to leave isolation. If a person continues to test positive, they should remain in isolation while testing positive but may de-isolate on the 10th day after their symptoms begin. “We closely monitored people in their homes from when they were first exposed to the virus, capturing the moment when they developed infection until they ceased being infectious,” said Professor Ajit Lalvani, Director of the NIHR Health Protection Research Unit in Respiratory Infections at Imperial. Before the study, Lalvani said “we were missing half of the picture about infectiousness, because it’s hard to know when people are first exposed to SARS-CoV-2 and when they first become infectious”. In the study, they used special daily tests to measure infectious virus (not just PCR) and daily symptom records to define the window in which people are infectious. “This is fundamental to controlling any pandemic and has not been previously defined for any respiratory infection in the community,” he noted. –Ajit Weekly News rvt/ksk/ News Credits – I A N S Share this: Tweet Print Share on Tumblr Telegram WhatsApp - Advertisement - Tags Covid infectious long Mehra Media Teamhttps://english.ajitweekly.com Share Facebook Twitter Pinterest WhatsApp - Advertisement - - Advertisement - - Advertisement - Latest news Education Rain drenches Delhi for third day, traffic hit across city Mehra Media Team - India Successive govts let down whistleblower Anand Rai, but he fights on Mehra Media Team - Breaking News On Annadurai's birth anniversary, 75 life convicts released from prison Mehra Media Team - Breaking News National Games, TT: Gujarat's Harmeet, WB's Sutirtha clinch men's and women's singles title (Ld) Mehra Media Team - Related news Education Rain drenches Delhi for third day, traffic hit across city Mehra Media Team - India Successive govts let down whistleblower Anand Rai, but he fights on Mehra Media Team - Breaking News On Annadurai's birth anniversary, 75 life convicts released from prison Mehra Media Team - Breaking News National Games, TT: Gujarat's Harmeet, WB's Sutirtha clinch men's and women's singles title (Ld) Mehra Media Team - Editor Picks Video New Hindi Song 2022 💖 Top Old Vs New Bollywood Mashup Songs 2022💖 New Hindi Mashup Songs 2022 Mehra Media Team - India PFI national executive member taken into custody by NIA from Coimbatore (Re-issuing with correction) Mehra Media Team - Entertainment Karishma Tanna showcases trauma after being accused of murder in 'Scoop' teaser Mehra Media Team - Must read Breaking News K'taka woman's suicide: Family, Hindu outfits allege 'love jihad' Mehra Media Team - Breaking News Canada-based gangster takes responsibility for killing Moosewala Mehra Media Team - Breaking News Sidhu Moosewala was on the radar of gangsters for a long time Mehra Media Team - Popular categories Breaking News18032 India8463 Sport3884 Entertainment2502 World2354 Education1894 Business1536 Tech1378 Video958 Lifestyle484 Social436 Shop129 Currency Exchange CAD - Canadian Dollar INR 0.0164 USD 1.3110 GBP 1.5168 SGD 0.9338 CHF 1.3395 THB 0.0360 AEAjitweekly English Facebook Instagram Mail Twitter Youtube Disclaimer DMCA Cookie Privacy Policy Privacy Policy Terms and Conditions Designed by Mehra Media Patiala | negative |
A new bitcoin POS system, Coin of Sale, is trying to make it easier for merchants to accept bitcoin payments for their goods and services.
Created by Singapore-based expat Thomas Forgac, Coin of Sale works with both Android and iOS devices. When users sign up for an account, they are automatically set up with an Electrum wallet.
The merchant must simply enter the amount of money that needs to be charged and the app will automatically generate a QR code for it. The customer then scans this QR code to complete the payment.
This video by the company explains the process in more detail:
[youtube id=”U7qELuyzzOc” width=”620″ height=”360″]
.
Forgac has been working on this POS system as a passion project since July 2013. However, after being encouraged by the local and the international response it has received, Forgac made it his full-time job at the start of the year.
In the second half of February, he launched a premium version that provides advanced reports and allows management of different outlets.
While the basic service is free of any commission charges, users need to pay 0.59% for the premium account. This service will soon also allow automatic fiat conversion, a feature that is Forgac’s top priority right now.
He added:
“Our current priority is to get the fiat versus Sing [SGD] in place which will allow merchants to withdraw 100% or smaller portions of their digital currency payments. This should help adoption with merchants who are more risk averse.”
The early adopters
The part-gallery part-café, Artistry, was the first place in Singapore to roll out Coin of Sale. CAD Café in the trendy Haji Lane was the next to follow suit. Now, more than 12 merchants in Singapore are using Coin of Sale – including a microbrewery, a printer shop and several restaurants and bars.
Despite the Singapore government’s regulatory crackdown, Forgac says the city-state is a good place to test out his product because of bitcoin’s general popularity here.
“I definitely feel more confident running it here than I would in some other parts of the world. Singapore is much more economically free than most of the world and any new regulation here is introduced gradually without bullying the existing businesses which it falls upon.”
Coin of Sale has also started to make the leap outside the Little Red Dot. A nail salon in Chicago, an independent movie theatre in Amsterdam and a couple of Subway outlets in the Czech Republic are also now using the service. Some of these merchants found out about Coin of Sale and started using the product even before Forgac made it his full-time job.

We know so far that Torro Rosso have signed Max Verstappen to drive for them next season even though he’s only just old enough to have the stabilisers taken off his bike and might not be able to race in Singapore as he has to be in by 9 if he hasn’t done the washing up and tidied his room, also what happens if he finishes on the podium next season before his 18th birthday at the end of September? (or in the USA before his 21st!). So the common thinking was that Jean-Éric Vergne would be looking for a new drive, in all likelihood somewhere outside F1, next year. But as usually happens in F1, it’s all change now… Vettel is on his way to Ferarri (replaced by Kvyat) for a new challenge and it would appear that he will be replacing Alonso who will be driving for McLaren next season. This is obviously to replace Jenson Button as the Brit is out of contract at the end of this season and Kevin Magnussen is only 1 year into a 4 year deal with the Woking team. Where this leave the experienced Button is anyone’s guess and he was pretty pragmatic about this a couple of weeks ago when he said that he’ll retire if he doesn’t get a drive, but would like to keep racing next season, they didn’t sound like the words of someone who was fighting to keep his place in the team at that point and the way that contracts work he obviously knew that someone would be taking his seat and he’d be the one to lose out. Also this opens up the possiblity of Vergne keeping his seat with Torro Rosso, which I think is a good thing as he’s out-scored (if not out-qualified) his Red Bull bound team mate this season and while he’s not the finished article, he’s not far off and is a good midfield driver with prospects. I can see the only way that Button will have a competitive drive next season is for Bernie to get his way and have the top teams running 3 cars, which flies in the face of the level financial playing field that F1 has been trying to achieve for the last few years. Surely if he wants to keep costs down and not have an imbalance in team spending, then allowing 3 or 4 teams to spend an extra 50% makes the usual Bernie mockery of the situation. This is what I think the line up will look like for next year… Mercedes – Hamilton & Rosberg Red Bull – Ricciardo & Kvyat Ferrari – Vettel & Räikkönen McLaren – Alonso & Magnussen Williams – Bottas & Massa Torro Rosso – Verstappen & Vergne Force India – Perez & Hulkenberg Lotus – Maldonado & Grosjean (they both bring much needed sponsorship into the team, even though Maldonado probably makes a net loss with repair bills and fines) Sauber – The jury’s out on this one as Gutiérrez brings sponsorship in, but hasn’t done anything of note this season and the car is undriveable. Expect changes, but as to who stays, goes & comes in I’ve not got a clue! Marussia – Whoever can bring money into the team Caterham – I don’t think we’ll be seeing them on the grid as the money’s run out and the new owners will find out they’ve bought a lemon There’s also the prospect of the Romanian Forza Rossa Racing team making their debut next season, but all seems to have gone quiet with them of late and Haas F1 have confirmed they are preparing for 2016. This will be worth looking back on over the next couple of months and see how accurate I’ve been Previous F1: Japanese GP Post Qualifying and Practice Next 2014 Japanese Grand Prix Live Blog 1 Comment Chris Flood October 4, 2014 at 1:44 pm A good shout – mainly. I think Bianchi will stay at Marussia, Chilton will probably be gone, in favour of either Merhi or Stevens, depending on cashflow. Sauber will probably be all change, Sorotkin’s been waiting in the wings and brings in Russian money, in place of Gutierrez. Sutil is unlikely to stay and could leave F1, if that happens I expect either Jean-Eric Vergne or Sebastian Buemi to take his place. Toro Rosso may usher in Carlos Sainz Jr. or Antonio Felix da Costa. Mclaren I’m still unsure of – purely because of Button’s previous alliance with Honda. He’s popular in Japan. Not convinced yet that it won’t be Magnussen who goes instead of Button to take on Alonso. I’d like to see Caterham in 2015, but I don’t think we will.

While in advanced economies a heightened uncertainty and setbacks to confidence have dampened growth, the economic powerhouses of the emerging economies have lost steam not least because of declining oil and commodity prices. In 2014, the G20 had agreed to increase global growth by at least two percentage points over the next five years. We are far from reaching this goal. Many countries face considerable investment gaps in infrastructure, research and development, as well as education. While it is vital to ensure sound public finances, we also need to strengthen the basis for future economic growth and jobs. The global economy has come a long way since 2008, when the global financial system stood at the brink of collapse. The financial system has become more resilient. Yet, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) finds that global financial stability risks have risen since October 2015. Financial conditions have tightened, risk appetite has decreased, credit risks have risen, and balance sheet repair has stymied. A lot of work remains to be done. Initiatives, for example, for global regulatory coherence or tax certainty are only a starting point. B20 Focal Areas Infrastructure Investments are of key importance for future growth. The B20 wants to foster the exchange on best practices and calls for capacity building programs to facilitate project planning, with international development banks as the primary tool to expand access to project pipelines for private actors. In order to ensure the sustainability of new projects, green finance needs to be facilitated through streamlined frameworks. Regulation 2.0 means creating a fit-for-future regulation that embraces digital opportunities and risks. The B20 strives for a right balance between both financial and regulatory innovation, and the necessary coordination it demands internationally, not only to ensure consistency, but also advance financial inclusion. Certainty and Cooperation is crucial for private investors to invest in the long-term. We call for an international tax environment which prioritizes stability, consistency, and simplification. Moreover, international cooperation in designing model frameworks to facilitate investments into sustainable development projects in emerging markets, especially in Africa, is needed.

The nation's largest insurers, hospitals and medical groups have hired more than 350 former government staff members and retired members of Congress in hopes of influencing their old bosses and colleagues, according to an analysis of lobbying disclosures and other records.
The tactic is so widespread that three of every four major health-care firms have at least one former insider on their lobbying payrolls, according to The Washington Post's analysis.
Nearly half of the insiders previously worked for the key committees and lawmakers, including Sens. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) and Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa), debating whether to adopt a public insurance option opposed by major industry groups. At least 10 others have been members of Congress, such as former House majority leaders Richard K. Armey (R-Tex.) and Richard A. Gephardt (D-Mo.), both of whom represent a New Jersey pharmaceutical firm.
The hirings are part of a record-breaking influence campaign by the health-care industry, which is spending more than $1.4 million a day on lobbying in the current fight, according to disclosure records. And even in a city where lobbying is a part of life, the scale of the effort has drawn attention. For example, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) doubled its spending to nearly $7 million in the first quarter of 2009, followed by Pfizer, with more than $6 million.
The push has reunited many who worked together in government on health-care reform, but are now employed as advocates for pharmaceutical and insurance companies.
A June 10 meeting between aides to Baucus, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, and health-care lobbyists included two former Baucus chiefs of staff: David Castagnetti, whose clients include PhRMA and America's Health Insurance Plans, and Jeffrey A. Forbes, who represents PhRMA, Amgen, Genentech, Merck and others. Castagnetti did not return a telephone call; Forbes declined to comment.
Also inside the closed committee hearing room that day was Richard Tarplin, a veteran of both the Department of Health and Human Services and the Senate, where he worked for Christopher J. Dodd (D-Conn.), one of the leaders in fashioning reform legislation this year. Tarplin now represents the American Medical Association as head of his own lobbying firm, Tarplin Strategies.
"For people like me who are on the outside and used to be on the inside, this is great, because there is a level of trust in these relationships, and I know the policy rationale that is required," Tarplin said in explaining the benefits of having government experience.
But public interest groups and reform advocates complain that the concentration of former government aides on K Street has distorted the health-care debate, and that it further illustrates the problem posed by the "revolving door" between government and private firms.
"The revolving door offers a short cut to a member of Congress to the highest bidder," said Sheila Krumholz, executive director of the Center for Responsive Politics, which compiled some of the data used in The Post's analysis. "It's a small cost of doing business relative to the profits they can garner."
Aides to Baucus and other lawmakers bristle at any suggestion of special treatment for former staff members. Baucus spokesman Scott Mulhauser said the senator "remains committed to working with a variety of stakeholders" as the Finance Committee attempts to come up with a bill this summer.
"The senator and his staff meet daily with individuals, nonprofits and interests from across the health-care spectrum, and are proud that all interests are treated equally and that no one receives special treatment of any kind," Mulhauser said. "As a result, the Finance Committee has been praised by members of Congress and the media for its uniquely inclusive and transparent health-care reform process." | positive |

Image caption This is one of the buses that was stoned in Greysteel
Buses carrying members of the Orange Order, who were returning home from 12 July celebrations in Coleraine, have been attacked in County Londonderry.
A number of youths threw stones that broke windows on two buses in Greysteel on Monday evening.
No one was seriously hurt, although the police said one person had been injured.
A police investigation is now under way.
'Scary'
William Wray, from the City of Londonderry Grand Lodge, had family members on the bus.
"The window smashed and glass came in around the people," said Mr Wray.
"There were children on one of the buses - they were petrified. There was a lot of stress on the bus.
"We need community leaders in Greysteel to do something about this.
"I would be critical of the police - they weren't there for the return journey."
Image caption Shirley Hunter with two of her daughters Hannah, 15, and Kathy, 10
Londonderry mother of four, Shirley Hunter, was on one of the buses when it was attacked.
"We just heard a bang and the glass shattered - one man was sleeping and the glass went over him.
"I was sitting beside one of my daughters and the other was in front of me. One is aged 10 and one is 15.
"We just couldn't wait to get out of the area. I saw young boys throwing stones and it's down the parents to know where they are.
"As the bus moved the glass continued to shower over people. The kids were frightened.
"We don't talk about Catholics and Protestants at all. We were away for a family fun day.
"It was scary. I grew up in the Troubles but the children are still asking questions."
Image caption Stones were thrown at two buses that passed through Greysteel
DUP MP Gregory Campbell said: "I was in the village yesterday and this has become a regular thing over the years.
"I was concerned about the lack of police in the area and I will be raising the issue with them.
"This was very serious. The driver could have been hit and 30 or 40 people could have been seriously injured."
SDLP MLA John Dallat said those responsible for the attacks should be "thoroughly ashamed of themselves".
"The behaviour at Greysteel should be condemned by everyone who genuinely reflects the right of people to travel to demonstrations whether it is in Derry city or indeed anywhere else in the North," he said.
"That right applies to all organisations and individuals irrespective of whether they are involved with the Orange Order, the Hibernians or indeed any legitimate organisation wishing to participate in cultural or musical events.
"Anyone who has respect for the good name of Greysteel and its wonderful people will want to protect the history and dignity of those people and not allow its reputation to be besmirched."
Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness said on Twitter that he unreservedly condemned those who attacked the bus.
Chief Supt Raymond Murray said: "An investigation is under way to find those responsible for the attack and I would appeal for anyone with any information to contact police on 101.
"Police will review the incident at Greysteel and address any issues that are identified, accordingly." | positive |

LCHF-breakfast in the summer
A lot of people wonder what to have for breakfast when eating LCHF (Low Carb High Fat). How about something delicious and satisfying that only takes a minute to prepare?
Here is my usual summer breakfast.
Step 1
The foundation is high-fat “Turkish yoghurt” (10% fat). It can be eaten as it is, but I prefer to add in some heavy whipping cream (40% fat). The extra fat is a nice bonus, the main reason is simply to make the consistency a bit looser, not quite as firm as the turkish yoghurt tends to be.
Yoghurt + cream
After stirring
The magical ingredient
Here is my new breakfast müsli, since a month back or so. It’s a mix of different kinds of nuts and seeds and coconut flakes. The ingredients can be bought separately in the store and mixed like in the picture above:
Coconut flakes
Walnuts
Hazelnuts
Almonds
Flaxseed
Sunflower seeds
Pumpkin seeds
Luxurious finish
Some blueberries finishes it up. Of course, blueberries are not strict LCHF. But in limited amounts it’s not much sugar (a few grams). It’s OK not to add them, but adding blueberries makes it taste even better. It can be worth it if you are not too sugar sensitive.
It’s possible to vary the breakfast with different berries, like raspberries or strawberries.
Enjoy
To finish the breakfast up add some coffee, of course with heavy whipping cream in it. Eating this luxurious, satisfying and nutritious breakfast makes it easy to go without any more food until a late lunch… or maybe even until dinner.
What’s your favorite breakfast?

The Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Amendments Act 2008 introduces harsh amendments to the already draconian provisions of a similarly titled 1967 act, including doubling the time “terror” suspects can be held without charge and forcing accused in certain cases to “prove” their innocence. The second bill authorizes the creation of a National Investigating Agency (NIA) akin to the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). According to the Indian constitution “law and order” comes under the purview of the state governments. However the new agency will have the authority to probe “terrorist acts” directly without the authorization of local state governments. The National Investigating Agency Act also establishes special courts to try terrorism cases. Pressing for unanimous passage of the two bills in the Lok-Sabha (the lower house of India’s parliament), Home Minister P. Chidambaram claimed the legislators had “captured the mood of the nation” by agreeing to set aside normal parliamentary procedures to rush through emergency, “consensus” legislation. Chidambaram claimed that the bills were needed to confront the threat of “Jihadi-terrorism,” yet hypocritically urged the legislators not to look at the legislation through a “communal prism.” Read the rest of this entry » Posted in India News | Leave a Comment » Blog at WordPress.com.

Ever since the American dollar began to surge against foreign currencies late last year, economists have warned that the repercussions would eventually be felt on the home front.
If there were any doubts about that, they were resolved last week.
With Friday’s Labor Department report showing slower hiring than expected in September, and the weaker data on exports and factory activity released earlier in the week, evidence of the effects of the dollar’s rise on the domestic economy is piling up.
While hardly catastrophic — almost no one expects the American economy to fall into recession anytime soon — the greenback’s strength will exert a significant drag on economic growth in the months ahead and could help push the Federal Reserve to wait until 2016 before raising interest rates.
“There is no question about it: The dollar is clearly having an impact,” said Nariman Behravesh, chief economist at IHS, a research and consulting firm that tracks the economy. | positive |

Texas-based networking company Buffalo announced its first 802.11ac wireless router and wireless media bridge are available today for retail purchase. The two networking products are backwards compatible with 802.11n devices, but also feature the latest ac wireless standard.
Earlier this year, Buffalo promised the arrival of this next-generation router in the summer, but last month Netgear announced its similar router would be arriving in May. Today, it looks like Buffalo hustled enough to be able to call "first."
The 802.11ac standard has not yet been ratified by the IEEE, so none of your current phones, tablets, or laptops will be able to automatically benefit from the 1.3 Gpbs wireless promised in this router. But as dongles and devices with compatible WiFi chips become available over the next year, your 802.11n router gets an automatic upgrade to an 802.11ac router, so to speak.
Also note that that 1.3 Gbps is an ideal number—at CES this year, Buffalo's prototype router was getting a (still super-fast) 803 Mbps. Since then, tweaks to the hardware's design have occurred. But there's no way of knowing yet what the router's practical speed will be. The router (called the AirStation WZR-D1800H) and the media bridge (called the WLI-H4-D1300) are each retailing for $179.99 online.
The new wireless standard transmits over a 5Ghz band, and uses beam-forming technology to extend its reach and give a stronger signal. The IEEE is expected to ratify the standard sometime by the beginning of next year. | positive |

VdB 152: A Ghost in Cepheus
Image Credit & Copyright: Stephen Leshin
Explanation: Described as a "dusty curtain" or "ghostly apparition", mysterious reflection nebula VdB 152 really is very faint. Far from your neighbourhood on this Halloween Night, the cosmic phantom is nearly 1,400 light-years away. Also catalogued as Ced 201, it lies along the northern Milky Way in the royal constellation Cepheus. Near the edge of a large molecular cloud, pockets of interstellar dust in the region block light from background stars or scatter light from the embedded bright star giving parts of the nebula a characteristic blue colour. Ultraviolet light from the star is also thought to cause a dim reddish luminescence in the nebular dust. Though stars do form in molecular clouds, this star seems to have only accidentally wandered into the area, as its measured velocity through space is very different from the cloud's velocity. This deep telescopic image of the region spans about 7 light-years. | positive |

ATLANTA - The recount requested by President Trump's campaign the day after Georgia certifies its election results will be done by high-speed scanners, not by hand. Counties began recounting at 9 a.m. Tuesday. They must finish by 11:59 p.m. on Dec. 2, Gabriel Sterling, who oversaw the implementation of the state’s new voting system for the secretary of state’s office, said during a video news conference Monday. The counties are to give public notice of when during that period they will be counting so monitors from political parties and any interested members of the public can be there to observe, said Gabriel Sterling, the Voting System Implementation Manager at Georgia Secretary of State's Office. This will be the third time the votes in the presidential race have been counted in Georgia. After the initial count following Election Day, Raffensperger selected the presidential race for an audit required by state law. Because of the tight margin, he said, the audit required every vote in that contest to be recounted by hand. Georgia recount to being Tuesday morning The Secretary of State's Office releases details of the President elect recount process in Georgia. Election workers spent days and long hours a week ago to recount the votes cast in the presidential race. That recount was part of a statewide audit to make sure the state's new voting machines counted accurately. "When we did the hand audit, the hope was that common sense would prevail and they would say, 'Okay, we've seen now the machines counted properly and we won't do that,'" said Sterling. But now, election workers across all 159 counties in Georgia will do another recount. This one came at the request of President Trump who lost the state by just over 12,000 votes. "With Thanksgiving in the middle of the week, it kind of blows the ability to get this done really, really fast," said Sterling. Outlining the recount in Georgia Gabriel Sterling, the director of election infrastructure for the Georgia Secretary of State's Office, is giving an update on how the recount, requested by the Trump campaign, will proceed on the afternoon of Nov. 23, 2020. SEE ALSO: Trump campaign requests recount of Georgia’s presidential race The Secretary of State's Office told FOX 5 they're working on the logistics of another recount. Sterling said with the runoff elections happening soon, it makes it even more difficult to get another recount done quickly. "At the same time that they're doing all this, there are counties in the state that literally have elections on Tuesday, and they're doing early voting starting tomorrow," said Sterling. Trump campaign requests recount in Georgia The request for a machine recount was submitted a day after Georgia certified it's election results. Sign up for FOX 5 email alerts President Trump requested the recount on Saturday. His campaign is also asking that signature matching takes place again for absentee ballots. But the signature verification has already been done twice. Once the signatures are verified, the ballot is no longer attached to the voter's envelope. ATLANTA, GA - NOVEMBER 13: Gwinnett county workers begin their recount of the ballots on November 13, 2020 in Lawrenceville, Georgia. The difference in votes between US President Donald Trump and President-elect Joe Biden is about 14,000 as of right Expand "There's not a way for us to tie ballots back to those envelopes," explained Sterling, "It's always a public process. They could've been there on the front end to watch this process." Despite the Secretary of State's Office explaining this several times, some Republicans continue to ask that signature verification be done again. Senator David Perdue posted on Twitter on Sunday and said the recount should include signature matching. "This was a public process. Every party, every Georgia citizen had the right to go to their county register and say I want to watch the signature matching process," said Sterling. County election workers completed that hand tally last week. Because some previously uncounted ballots were discovered during the audit, several counties had to recertify their totals. Then the secretary of state certified the results and Gov. Brian Kemp certified the state’s slate of 16 presidential electors. A state election board rule mandates that the recount requested by the Trump campaign be done by machine. County election workers will create test decks of 100 ballots — 75 marked by touchscreen voting machines and 25 marked by hand — and count those ballots by hand, Sterling said. Then they run those ballots through a scanner to make sure the tallies match. Once they determine each scanner is counting accurately, every single ballot will be rescanned, he said. Sterling also addressed a request the state Republican Party made Sunday urging the secretary of state to order an audit of the absentee ballots cast in the 2020 election, including verification of the signature match process.

WATCH: FOX 5 Atlanta live news coverage When Georgia voters return an absentee ballot, they have to sign an oath on the outer envelope. County election office workers are required to ensure the signature matches the one on the absentee ballot application and the one in the voter registration system, Raffensperger has said. Once the signatures are verified, to protect ballot secrecy enshrined in Georgia law, the ballots are separated from the envelopes and can’t be matched back to individual voters. Sterling said the secretary of state’s office is still reviewing whether any sort of investigation is appropriate, but he said there hasn’t been any specific claim that the signature match process was not done properly. “We can’t really see a legal path that makes any sense because if you open up investigations on a generalized grievance without any evidence, that leaves it open for somebody else in the future to do the exact same thing,” Sterling said. Download the FOX 5 Atlanta app for breaking news and weather alerts. Also Monday, the state election board held a special called meeting and approved an extension of two emergency rules meant to accommodate the large number of absentee ballots expected because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. One rule authorizes absentee ballot drop boxes in each county. The other allows counties to begin opening and scanning absentee ballots about two weeks before the election, and the board added a requirement for them to begin that processing one week before Election Day. The election board had planned to discuss another possible emergency rule on verification of residency during the voter registration process. But the secretary of state’s office general counsel Ryan Germany told the board members that it turns out state law already addresses the issue, and the secretary of state’s office decided instead to send county election officials instructions reminding them of their authority and responsibilities under that law.

Brown coal companies will be hit by a dramatic three-fold tax increase, with the Andrews Government insisting the impact on power bills will be "negligible in the extreme".
The tripling of Victoria's brown coal royalty rate - to be detailed in the state budget on Wednesday - will kick in on January 1, netting an extra $252 million over four years to help pay for the Government's infrastructure, health and education agenda.
State royalties from brown coal mines set to triple
Treasurer Tim Pallas on Friday evening said the increase would bring Victoria's mining royalty rates into line with NSW, Queensland, and Western Australia, warning power companies to think very carefully before attempting to pass on the added pain to consumers.
"The royalty is paid ... for the use and extraction the resource the mine operator manages on behalf of the community, and this increase will basically ensure Victorians get their fair share," Mr Pallas told Fairfax Media. | positive |
An ancient mortuary where corpses were stripped of their flesh so their families could take them with them on their travels has been uncovered by archaeologists in Bolivia.
The mortuary was found in the foothills of the Andes by researchers at the Franklin & Marshall College in Pennsylvania.
Published in the journal Antiquity, From Bodies To Bones: Death And Mobility In The Lake Titicaca Basin, Bolivia, is a study that looks at how a society dating back between 2,200 and 1,500 years ago disposed of their dead.
Scott C Smith and his team found a circular building where the floor was covered in 1,000 teeth and small bones – a room where human body parts were taken to be boiled, stripped of their flesh and cleaned.
"Disposal of the dead in early societies frequently involved multiple stages of ritual and processing," the authors wrote. "At Khonkho Wankane in the Andes, quicklime was used to reduce corpses to bones in a special circular structure at the centre of the site."
According to USA Today, when the quicklime was mixed with water, it was able to remove tissue and fat from bones. Exposure to air would then have turned the mixture into a white plaster – inside the mortuary, the researchers found body parts coated in this substance.
The quicklime was applied to the body parts. Larger bones were then removed from the site, suggesting the dead were taken away by their families to be buried somewhere else.
"Khonkho Wankane was a ritual centre to which the dead were brought for processing and then removed for final burial elsewhere," the authors wrote.
The excavation was part of a larger multinational and collaborative project.The site of Khonkho Wankane is located near the southern shores of Lake Titicaca. It predates both the Inca and Tiwanaku civilisations and is from a period of time known as the Late Formative – between 200BCE and 500. At the time, Khonkho Wankane was one of a network of religious and political centres in the area.
Smith told IBTimes UK they were surprised to find so many bones as they had assumed the site would be primarily residential: "We did not expect to encounter this highly specialised structure dedicated to mortuary ritual."
Many ancient Andean communities placed the dead in high esteem, with them playing an active role in social life. It is thought the Inca would bring out past emperors for ceremonial occasions and consult them on political and religious maters. However, there is no other evidence to show these ancient communities cleaned and curated the bones in the manner described at the mortuary.
Researchers believe the mortuary was used for about 400 years. Outside, there was a carving on a stone pillar showing a human with defleshed ribs.
"The back and sides of the monolith seem to portray individuals in movement," they wrote. "Moreover, these individuals appear to move up the back of the monolith with flesh and down the sides partially defleshed, with the ribs portrayed as exposed.
"This may be a depiction of the process of producing bones that we have associated with [the structure]. Human remains enter Khonkho Wankane with flesh and leave as bone."
Smith said the dead were an important part of life for communities near Khonkho Wankane and people who stopped off at the mortuary were llama drovers who would not have been able to live close to burial sites. Instead of leaving them behind, they took their dead on the road with them, researchers believe.
Speaking to IBTimes UK, he said: "For many cultures in the Andes, the dead were active participants in the lives of the living. Dead ancestors were often preserved, sometimes through mummification, and then consulted on religious and political matters by the living.
"What is interesting about this case is that during this particular period of time in the Lake Titicaca basin people were quite mobile. Trade caravans connected far-flung regions such as the deserts of northern Chile and the warmer eastern valleys of the Andes.
"In a context characterized by mobile agropastoralists and caravan traders, how did the dead continue to play a role in the lives of the living? We think that this research begins to provide an answer to this question. We argue that ritual specialists at Khonkho Wankane performed a specialised function for mobile groups that visited the site. We think they transformed dead bodies into curated bones that could then be removed from the site as these mobile groups continued on their ways."
The authors conclude: "Whereas archaeologists typically have access to the final resting point of mortuary remains, the data from Khonkho Wankane give us a window into a midpoint of a spatially and temporally extended process of transition from the world of the living to the world of the dead." | positive |

Sesame seed is one of the oldest oilseed crops known to man, mentioned in ancient scriptures of Babylon and Assyria over 4,000 years ago and domesticated well over 3,000 years ago! Remains of sesame recovered from archeological sites have been dated to 3500-3050 B.C. Records show sesame was traded in parts of Mesopotamia and the Indian sub-continent around 2000 B.C., while others show it was cultivated in Egypt during the Ptolemiac period. 1. The sun shoots out rays of different lengths. The most damaging are the ultraviolet rays, which are classified as UVA and UVB. Too much ultraviolet can accelerate the formation of cataracts. The hat-sunglasses combo should also be worn at the beach, amusement parks, bike rides, boating, or anyplace where there is prolonged sun exposure. Don’t forget young ones – they need it too! 2. The cool water is quite inviting on a hot day, but do not forget to take care of your eyes from the chlorine in the pool. In this weather, the incidence of skin infection in swimming pool rises, thus it can lead to eye irritation. While swimming, consider using googles and afterwards, wash and rinse your eyes properly with fresh water to reduce the redness that is caused due to chlorine water. 3. If you have ever had dust or sand in your eye, you know that chemical exposure is not the only environmental threat to your eyes. You should try to protect yourself, as much as practically possible, from contact with foreign bodies that can cause abrasions to your eye.

There are many foods rich in nutrients that improve your eyesight & help prevent the development of long-term vision problems. Adding a supplement or foods high in Vitamin C, Vitamin E & zinc can assist those with symptoms of age-related macular degeneration; they help slow or prevent the progression of symptoms. Drinking plenty of water each day can prevent & reverse many of the negative effects of dehydration, as well as providing fluid for normal eye function. 5.

A proposal to reroute transport truck traffic to a narrow, primarily residential street in downtown Halifax during the deconstruction of a major interchange is not sitting well with some residents and businesses.
The proposal would see large trucks driving through the narrow, primarily residential Morris Street in downtown during redevelopment of the Cogswell Interchange.
"This is really one of the most ridiculous things I've heard of in a while," Morris Street resident Ken Murphy said Friday.
"This is a very narrow, short street. Trucks will be a disaster on Morris Street."
Ken Murphy lives on Morris Street, and says he doesn't want to see trucks driving down it. (CBC)
Fixing old mistake
The tangle of overpasses and underpasses at Cogswell Street, Barrington Street and Upper Water Street was built 45 years ago to accommodate a harbourside expressway that was never built.
Halifax Regional Municipality plans to redevelop the Cogswell Street Interchange by 2020. Each day, around 90,000 vehicles drive through the interchange, which means those will still need to get on and off the peninsula during construction.
This is the proposed detour for trucks when the Cogswell Street Interchange is being redeveloped. (CBC News Graphics)
At a transportation committee hearing Thursday, staff presented the Morris Street idea as an option to accommodate trucks travelling to and from the Port of Halifax in the south end.
Trucks would bypass the interchange by looping around, through Morris Street to South Park Street, then crossing Spring Garden onto Robie Street, and then exiting the peninsula — and vice versa.
'Worst possible place'
The idea was quickly and harshly criticized.
"This is the worst possible place to bring 18-wheelers, and I don't know how it could possibly work," Coun. Matt Whitman said in an interview Friday.
"We need to find a permanent solution, not a temporary solution."
The owner of restaurant Morris East is worried the patio will be affected by trucks under the detour proposal. (CBC)
'Major disruption for trucks'
A Port of Halifax official declined an interview, saying its staff will meet with city planners to discuss changing the truck route. According to a progress report by project manager Steven Higgins, that meeting is scheduled for July 28.
"There's no question this is going to be a major disruption for trucks," Halifax spokesman Brendan Elliott said.
"That's why we are coming out as early as we are with this information, so we can talk with all the different groups that would be affected by it."
Morris Street is a narrow road with one lane of traffic in either direction. (CBC)
'Take another look'
Businesses in the area could also be impacted by heavy truck traffic on the narrow streets, said Jennie Dobbs, owner of restaurant Morris East.
"It's already noisy as it is, and I already have concerns about an increase in traffic flow to the port," she said. "It has the potential to be really disruptive — and it would kill my patio business."
Trucks frequently drive through the Cogswell Street Interchange to reach the Port of Halifax. Those trucks will need a new route once the interchange redevelopment begins. (CBC)
The owner of Dartmouth-based trucking company Guysborough Transfer said he's hoping a better, if temporary, route can be found.
"I'm hoping that the city can take another look at it and maybe realize that it's not the best alternative," Pat Berrigan said.
Coun. Matt Whitman said the detour idea is impractical. (CBC)
Another option
Another option tossed about is to add truck and bus lanes around an existing rail line in south-end Halifax.
That would cost an estimated $200 million, but Whitman supports that project, with a reversing lane accommodating traffic going to the south in the morning and leaving in the afternoon.
"That piece of infrastructure is sitting right there and is waiting to be paved to put trucks and buses in there," Whitman said. "Make the downtown cycle friendly and pedestrian friendly." | positive |
The travel health insurance that millions of Canadians buy may offer no protection at all if they answer a single question incorrectly — no matter how innocent the error — on a medical questionnaire full of convoluted language, confusing clauses and tricky definitions, the CBC's Marketplace has learned.
For some people, the result can be financial ruin when their claims are denied.
That’s what happened to Bill Jennings, 67, and his wife Tracy, 48, of Gold River, B.C., who bought travel insurance from Manulife before leaving on a trip to Fort Walton, Fla., in December 2010.
LIVE CHAT Going on vacation? Think travel health insurance is going to protect you if something goes wrong? Join Marketplace host Erica Johnson and insurance lawyer Scott Stanley on CBCNews.ca answer your questions about how to avoid the pitfalls of buying travel health insurance.
They filled out the application, including the medical questionnaire, online and thought they were covered in case of illness during their trip.
In Florida, Bill had chest pains and numbness in his arm. He discovered he had suffered a heart attack and needed emergency surgery to remove five blockages in his heart.
The surgeon explained that Bill could not be flown home because a change in altitude could bring on another heart attack.
"Which is why we bought insurance in the first place — unexpected emergency," Tracy said. "This was unexpected."
Recovering back home, Bill was stunned to receive a letter six months later, saying his travel health insurance claim was denied and he owed $346,000 US in medical bills.
"I was just in shock," he said. "I’ve always had travel insurance whenever I’ve left the country. Just in case something happens."
Added Tracy: "We're in financial ruin."
The problem, according to his insurer, Manulife, was the way the Jennings filled out the medical questionnaire.
Watch Tripped Up on CBC's Marketplace on Friday at 8 p.m. ET, 8:30 p.m. in Newfoundland
Manulife says Bill should have answered yes to this question about two conditions:
"In the last two (2) years, have you been prescribed or received treatment for and/or been hospitalized (as an in-patient or seen in the emergency department) and/or been prescribed or taken medication for any of the following conditions: diverticular disorder or gastrointestinal bleeding?"
Bill insists that he didn’t know what was spelled out in his medical file or that he’d been diagnosed with those two conditions. He thought all his symptoms were related to the colon cancer he’d had surgery for 19 months earlier.
"Most importantly to me would be the question, 'What does anything, what does anything related to this have to do with Bill’s heart?'" Tracy said. "Absolutely nothing. Absolutely nothing."
Susan Eng of CARP, a Canadian advocacy group for people over 50, says the system is set up for claims to be denied.
"Ordinary people are out thousands and thousands of dollars because they did not get the protection they thought they had — only because they made a mistake on the form that they could not possibly have done correctly," she said.
While people do have the responsibility to fill out the medical questionnaires correctly, the bar is set too high, she said.
"They have to do their best. But as we’ve looked at some examples, the best is not good enough. They simply have all the cards stacked up against them."
According to David Hartman, president of the Travel Health Insurance Association of Canada, of the 500,000 travel insurance claims made every year, 15,000 are denied for a variety of reasons. There are no industry numbers on how many of those denials are because of the medical questionnaire, but research by the CBC's Marketplace shows the number could be in the thousands.
Bill collectors are pursuing the Jennings, though there is a glimmer of hope. After the Florida hospital learned the couple were uninsured, it cut their bill. But they still owe $160,000 US.
"My biggest fear is seizing of our property, taking our home," Tracy said.
Insurance companies have had the upper hand for far too long, she said.
"Bottom line is, there’s something wrong in the industry when people are planning a trip, think they have all their t’s crossed and their i’s dotted. We get home, and now we’re in financial ruin. Something should be changed in the industry to protect consumers." | positive |
A tropical storm brewing near the Gulf of Mexico threatens to hit Florida, as often happens in August. This year the high winds and heavy rain of Tropical Storm Isaac, which is expected to become a hurricane Thursday, could rain on the parade that is the Republican National Convention in Tampa.
Isaac is currently spinning a few hundred miles southeast of Puerto Rico and moving westward with maximum sustained winds of around 45 miles per hour, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami. Forecasters predict the storm will increase in strength in the next 48 hours as it approaches Cuba and Hispaniola, where it may turn northward towards the Florida peninsula. In that forecast, Issac's effects would reach Tampa at 8 a.m. Monday, the first day of the convention.
"The peak of the Atlantic hurricane season is late August, into early September, therefore the Florida Division of Emergency Management team pays special attention to any weather situation that may arise during this time," the agency said in a statement.
Officials insist they are prepared for any inclement weather during the convention. In May, Florida held a four-day mock hurricane drill in which the scenario was a hurricane hitting Tampa to prepare for the logisical problems a storm would present. The main logisical issue for the agencies involved in that case would be getting people to safety, says Brian Koon, director of FDEM.
"You've got the addition of 50,000 people or so to the area who are not Floridians and are not aware of hurricanes and their impact," Koon says. "If the storm is moving towards Tampa the focus of could shift towards getting delegates to safety."
The hurricane threat looms as the 20-year anniversary of Hurricane Andrew approaches. Andrew, a devastating hurricane that intensified as it neared the South Florida peninsula, struck south of Miami with a vengeance on Aug. 24, 1992. More recently, Tropical Storm Debby lashed the Tampa area with torrential rains in late June.
If Issac were to make landfall in Florida, the convention would be just one of many priorities, Koon says.
"The RNC is going to be a wrinkle," says Koon. "If there's a hurricane going to Tampa or anywhere else in the state, the fuss over the RNC will be short lived."
Koon said more than a dozen different government agencies have been coordinating for a year now, led by the Secret Service.

Use Troll online
There is a web interface for Troll. This is the easiest way to use Troll, and is sufficient for most users.
You can roll dice and calculate probabilities. There are some limitations on probability calculations to avoid stressing the server, so calculations that use a lot of time. This will affect some (but not all) calculations involving many dice or rerolls. If you get into this limitation, you can run Troll on your own computer (by downloading and compiling the sources below), but that will be with a more primitive user interface.
About Troll
I have combined my research into domain-specific languages and my interest in board games and role-playing games to design and implement a language for specifying dice-roll mechanisms.
Based on experiences with Roll, I in 2006 redesigned the language to make it easier to use and added a few new features. The result is Troll, which is the current version, alebit extended w | positive |

It is clinically and genetically heterogeneous with three distinctive clinical types (I–III) and nine Usher genes identified. This study is a comprehensive clinical and genetic analysis of 172 Usher patients and evaluates the contribution of digenic inheritance. Methods The genes MYO7A, USH1C, CDH23, PCDH15, USH1G, USH2A, GPR98, WHRN, CLRN1 and the candidate gene SLC4A7 were sequenced in 172 UK Usher patients, regardless of clinical type. Results No subject had definite mutations (nonsense, frameshift or consensus splice site mutations) in two different USH genes. Novel missense variants were classified UV1-4 (unclassified variant): UV4 is ‘probably pathogenic’, based on control frequency <0.23%, identification in trans to a pathogenic/probably pathogenic mutation and segregation with USH in only one family; and UV3 (‘likely pathogenic’) as above, but no information on phase. Overall 79% of identified pathogenic/UV4/UV3 variants were truncating and 21% were missense changes. MYO7A accounted for 53.2%, and USH1C for 14.9% of USH1 families (USH1C:c.496+1G>A being the most common USH1 mutation in the cohort). USH2A was responsible for 79.3% of USH2 families and GPR98 for only 6.6%. No mutations were found in USH1G, WHRN or SLC4A7. Conclusions One or two pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants were identified in 86% of cases. No convincing cases of digenic inheritance were found. It is concluded that digenic inheritance does not make a significant contribution to Usher syndrome; the observation of multiple variants in different genes is likely to reflect polymorphic variation, rather than digenic effects.

Robert Bentley is kicking off his first term in office with a bit of controversy, telling a church audience Monday that he only considers Christians to be his "brothers and sisters." "Now I will have to say that, if we don't have the same daddy, we're not brothers and sisters," he told parishioners at a Baptist church in Montgomery Monday shortly after being sworn in. "So anybody here today who has not accepted Jesus Christ as their savior, I'm telling you, you're not my brother and you're not my sister, and I want to be your brother." "There may be some people here today who do not have living within them the Holy Spirit," Bentley also said, according to the Birmingham News. "But if you have been adopted in God's family like I have, and like you have if you're a Christian and if you're saved, and the Holy Spirit lives within you just like the Holy Spirit lives within me, then you know what that makes? It makes you and me brothers. And it makes you and me brother and sister." Read the full story here from CNN's Political Ticker.

In May 2009, the city council approved a measure that amended the city's marriage act and said the city would recognize same-sex marriages from other jurisdictions. Jackson and other religious leaders challenged the city on the measure saying the matter should be put to District voters in a ballot initiative. There initiative wanted to amend the law to say, "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid in the District of Columbia." If that initiative had passed it would have effectively overturned the city's legal recognition of gay marriage.

Aleksander Cvetkovic immigrated to Israel with his wife, who is Jewish, and children in 2006 and received Israeli citizenship, said a statement from the Israeli Justice Ministry. The Israeli state prosecutor's office received an extradition request for him last August from the Bosnian government. The decision to open an extradition process came after months of examining evidence. That evidence exposes shocking details of the massacre of Muslims at Braniewo farm, the ministry said.

When Lauren Lusk’s husband Jeremy died in a motocross accident after a crash landing attempting a “heart attack Indian air back flip” at a competition in Costa Rica, the motocross world lost a burgeoning legend. But Lauren Lusk says her faith was strengthened. Motocross is inherently dangerous. Performing a back flip had at one time been seen as an impossible move; the holy grail of freestyle motocross. Bob Kohl, the first to perform the trick in 1993, continued to do so until he was left with serious injuries from it in 1995. But by then athletes had begun to realize it was physically possible. It is the norm in extreme sports like American freestyle motocross to push the limits of physical possibilities. Neither Lusk was a stranger to that fact, but when athletes are injured or killed performing such unnatural feats, the result can still be devastating.

Peter and Hazel Bull who run a bed and breakfast in Cornwall in western England denied being anti-gay, saying they refuse double rooms to any unmarried couple. "The Bulls made it clear that they did not hold any hostility towards homosexuals and applied their policy of 'only giving double rooms to married couples' equally to both homosexual and heterosexual guests alike," the Christian Legal Centre said in their defense. But Judge Andrew Rutherford ruled the Bulls had discriminated against Martyn Hall and Steve Preddy on the ground of sexual orientation and awarded them 1,800 pounds (about $2,900) each, according to Britain's Equality and Human Rights Commission, which supported the gay couple.

A Columbus, Ohio woman found that her HTC Evo Shift had branded her after overheating while it was under her waistband. The woman, Jennifer Grago, reported that she was using the phone’s FM radio while she did yard work.
“I didn’t have pockets so I just put the phone in the band of my sweats. Seemed like an alright option… I felt my phone getting warm so I moved it and trucked on. Figured sweatpants and 70 some degrees was a factor. Went to move it again and it hurt like a #%&@! and skin with it. I swear to god I almost passed out,” she wrote.
Best Buy, where she purchased the phone, told her that phones need “correct ventilation” and should be placed in form-fitting casing.
The phone left a clear outline of the casing on her skin. Phones, which are in essence compact radios, can easily overheat for various reasons but for a device to overheat so egregiously is frightening. Any phone, in the right conditions, can overheat. However, in this case, the device battery was faulty, a problem that was came to light when the FM radio app was running for too long. Devices like the iPhone can overheat when radio-heavy apps like Maps and Pandora run too long but they rarely get hot enough to burn skin. The Evo Shift is two years old and is currently available for free with contract on Sprint’s network. | positive |

(CNN) An Illinois prosecutor says he has found "clear and convincing evidence" that a former police officer was wrongly convicted of the 1957 murder of a 7-year-old girl in what is believed to have been the nation's oldest cold case to go to trial.
Jack Daniel McCullough, a 76-year-old military veteran and former police officer from Seattle, was convicted in 2012 of the abduction and murder of Maria Ridulph. The child vanished from a street corner in Sycamore, Illinois, a small farming community about 65 miles west of Chicago. A judge hearing the case without a jury found McCullough guilty after a weeklong trial.
Richard Schmack, the state's attorney for DeKalb County, said his review of the case led him to conclude that McCullough could not have committed the crime.
"The People are ethically compelled and constrained to admit the existence of clear and convincing evidence showing Defendant to have been convicted of an offense which he did not commit," Schmack said in court documents
McCullough has always insisted he was innocent.
"Look in the box. The truth is in the box," McCullough said at his sentencing, pointing to a cardboard box in the courtroom. It was filled with old FBI reports and other documents that the judge, James Hallock, barred the defense from presenting, saying it was inadmissible hearsay.
Schmack looked in the box. He said he spent six months reviewing about 4,500 pages of vintage police and FBI reports, and reconstructed the timeline surrounding the child's disappearance. He also turned up new evidence by subpoenaing AT&T phone records. He concluded that the alibi claimed by McCullough, who was then known as John Tessier, holds up.
It was impossible for McCullough to have committed the crime, Schmack said, because he was about 40 miles away in Rockford when Maria vanished. Even giving the prosecution's revised timeline, he added, McCullough would have had to have driven more than 100 mph in the snow to make it from Sycamore to Rockford after snatching the girl.
"I truly wish that this crime had really been solved, and her true killer were incarcerated for life," Schmack said. "When I began this lengthy review I had expected to find some reliable evidence that the right man had been convicted. No such evidence could be discovered. Compounding the tragedy by convicting the wrong man, and fighting further in the hopes of keeping him jailed, is not the proper legacy for our community, or for the memory of Maria Ridulph."
A hearing in the case is scheduled Tuesday in Sycamore.
Read the original series on the case: "Taken" Maria Ridulph's murder went unsolved for half a century. Then detectives pursued a tip, and a man was brought to trial and convicted in the 1957 murder of the 7-year-old in Sycamore, Illinois. Now that man is free. Ann O'Neill's 2013 series on the case, "Taken," raised questions about whether the trial was unfairly one-sided.
Schmack concluded that the Illinois State Police got the timeline wrong. There was no evidence to support the theory that Maria was taken as early as 6:15 p.m., as investigators claimed in an affidavit supporting the arrest warrant.
The Illinois State Police said the case was thoroughly investigated and that the conviction had been upheld by Illinois' 2nd Appellate Court.
Schmack pointed to the account of a fuel oil deliveryman, Tom Braddy, and others who placed Maria and her friend, Kathy Sigman, on the street corner between 6:30 and 7 p.m., and to the AT&T records that support McCullough's version of events. At least two people told police in 1957 that they heard a scream at about 7.
"Thousands of pages of improperly excluded police reports more than 20 years old contain a wealth of information pointing to McCullough's innocence, and absolutely nothing showing guilt," Schmack said in a statement announcing his decision not to fight McCullough's request to overturn his conviction. Without resistance from prosecutors, McCullough likely could go free as early as next week.
Schmack told CNN his office notified the Ridulph and Tessier families by letter. The prosecutor also filed a lengthy report with the court, saying it was his ethical duty to take another look at the case, which was prosecuted by his predecessor, Clay Campbell.
"I know that there are people who will never believe that (McCullough) is not responsible for the crime," Schmack said. "Many of these people are my neighbors in Sycamore. But I cannot allow that to sway me from my sworn duty ... and to perform faithfully the primary duty of my office, 'To seek justice, not merely to convict.'"
Campbell called the decision a "travesty." He said he considered solving Maria Ridulph's murder to be his "life's work."
Charles Ridulph, Maria's older brother, told a local newspaper that Schmack's decison was "ridiculous."
"A few months ago [Schmack] gave me a copy of his time frame, and I went through that and it just made me sick," Ridulph told the Daily Chronicle . "There's a reason that none of [the old police reports were] allowed into evidence to begin with, because there were so many discrepancies and you couldn't cross-examine it."
The Tessier family's reaction was not immediately known. But McCullough's wife, Sue, said she felt vindicated.
"I told you all this time. I told you he was innocent," she said, adding she was "feeling nervous and excited at the same time."
Sue McCullough, who lives in a seniors complex in Seattle, pointed out that her husband "hasn't lived here in five years" and said she was able to visit him just once in prison in Illinois.
"We talk on the phone, and we write letters. If he was in there all alone and he had nobody to write to, it would have been so hard for him. I've been living all alone, and at first I didn't like it, but as the years go by, I get used to it. Not a word is spoken in this apartment except by me."
JUST WATCHED Stepdaughter: He didn't do it Replay More Videos ... MUST WATCH Stepdaughter: He didn't do it 01:08
McCullough's stepdaughter, Janey O'Connor, has stood by him. She and her husband, Casey Porter, plan to be in court on Tuesday. She praised Schmack for taking a second look at the evidence.
"This is bravery. This is courage," she said. "The whole town of Sycamore wants Jack to be guilty."
O'Connor said she had resigned herself to the reality that her stepfather would likely die in prison, convicted of a crime he didn't commit.
"I can't believe Jack made it to the end," she said. "We're still in that limbo where we say, 'OK, the prosecution and the defense are saying he's not guilty, but what do we do now?' "
She says Campbell and the Illinois State Police "decided Jack was guilty and built a case around it."
"If you don't have money, you just get ground up by the legal system," she added. "I would have never thought that this would be my life, but that's what can happen to anyone. It's terrifying."
McCullough has been held at the Illinois state penitentiary in Pontiac. He maintained his innocence in a prison interview with CNN in 2013. He insisted that the FBI questioned him and cleared him in 1957 because his alibi checked out. He couldn't be the killer, he insisted, because he was not in Sycamore when Maria was taken.
The subpoenaed AT&T phone records support McCullough's version of events. He said he called home, collect, to ask his father for a ride after meeting with U.S. Air Force recruiters in Rockford. The records show that a call was indeed connected from a pay phone inside at the old Rockford post office at 6:57 p.m. -- approximately the same time Maria vanished from the corner of Center Cross Street and Archie Place.
The child had been talking with a young man who called himself Johnny and who gave her a piggyback ride. Her disappearance shocked the close-knit farming community to its core and left Sycamore forever changed. Nearly three dozen FBI agents descended on the town of 7,000, looking in basements, storm drains, ponds, railroad cars and the trunks of cars. They interviewed dozens of people, including known sex offenders. FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover took a personal interest in the case, as did President Dwight Eisenhower.
Maria's body was found some five months later, near Galena, a small town just a few miles from the Iowa state line.
The case went unsolved for more than half a century. The Illinois State Police opened an investigation after McCullough's sister, Janet Tessier, called a tip line and repeated what their mother had said on her deathbed 14 years earlier: "Those two little girls, and the one that disappeared, John did it. John did it, and you have to tell someone."
As state's attorney at the time, Campbell brought the case, but was defeated by Schmack in an election just weeks after McCullough was convicted. While Schmack was a spectator during the trial, Campbell, by then a lame duck, was the spectator when McCullough was sentenced to life in prison.
Cold cases are particularly difficult to prosecute because evidence is often lost or destroyed, memories fade and witnesses die. And so doubt has lingered over the evidence used to convict McCullough -- and whether it was strong enough. No physical evidence ties him to the crime.
Instead, prosecutors relied on a revised timeline, the deathbed accusation by McCullough's mother as recalled by his sister, and an eyewitness identification by another child -- now Kathy Sigman Chapman -- who was playing with Maria in the snow shortly before she vanished.
Chapman responded to the latest developments through her husband, Mike: "We read the response and we're not surprised by his action. We believe it's politically motivated. It is an election year and he is running to be re-elected. Kathy got it right. It's sad it has come to this."
The defense was barred by hearsay limitations from presenting its own timeline because McCullough did not testify. Tom McCulloch, the public defender, had wanted to offer the 1957 FBI reports that cleared his client and supported his timeline. In Illinois, police reports are generally excluded and are not accepted as substitutes for live testimony.
Schmack said his parsing of an appeals court decision denying McCullough a new trial contained an eye-opening detail: The court found that while the FBI reports were inadmissible as "business records," they could have been included as "ancient documents" because they are more than 20 years old.
McCullough had nearly exhausted his appeals. He had convinced the appeals court to toss out his convictions for kidnapping and abduction of an infant on legal technicalities related to the age of the case. But his murder conviction stood as he lost at every turn in Illinois' appellate courts.
Late last year, McCullough turned again to the courts in Sycamore, filing a lengthy, handwritten appeal seeking a judge's declaration that he is innocent. He lost that, too, and the judge called the appeal "frivolous and without merit."
But public defendner McCulloch and his investigator, Crystal Harrolle, noted that the points he'd made "inartfully" were worth pursuing. They again took up his cause -- even though they were no longer appointed to represent him. They asked the court to reconsider, saying new evidence had come to light.
And that is what triggered the prosecutor's extraordinary response.
That "new" evidence cited by the defense lawyers included allegations of false promises made by prosecutors to fellow county jail inmates who testified against McCullough. But perhaps the most compelling discovery was the disputed statement of Jan Edwards, their client's high school girlfriend in 1957.
Schmack cites the dispute in his report to the court, but says it turned out to be just one of many issues he had with the case. Still, it signaled that he was taking a hard look at the evidence used to secure the conviction.
Edwards is Jan Swafford now, and she lives in Florida. The "new" evidence includes what she said during a taping of a "Dr. Phil" show about the case. She was in the audience, and insisted that she may have seen McCullough on the night Maria disappeared.
In an exchange of letters with Schmack, she said she never told investigators that she didn't see McCullough that night. And she insisted she never told the investigator that her father had forbidden her to leave the house.
She was brought to Sycamore but never testified at the trial. She said she was eager to tell her story but "never had the chance."
The defense alleged that prosecutors should have disclosed the discrepancy but instead hid Swafford from them during the trial.
From the press release of Illinois state's attorney Richard Schmack, who spent six months reviewing the case.
Her correspondence with Schmack was attached to a legal motion filed last fall. The prosecutor initiated the conversation in a letter dated November 6, 2014 -- shortly after the case was featured on the "Dr. Phil" show. Schmack opened his letter by taking pains to point out that he was not involved in the initial prosecution but would be tasked with making any decisions should the conviction be reversed.
"When you appeared on the 'Dr. Phil' show a few weeks ago, you gave a brief account of contact you had with Mr. McCullough on the night of the Ridulph kidnapping," Schmack wrote. "This account seemed more consistent with the defense theory of the timeline than the prosecution. I was surprised you were given so little time to explain and that no questions were posed to you."
He pointed out that what she said on the show was "entirely inconsistent" with an Illinois State Police investigator's "field notes" memorializing their telephone conversation. The report stated: "Jan stated the night Maria was kidnapped her parents would not let her leave the house at all, not even to go on date, she does not recall John coming to her house that night."
Four days later, Swafford responded, sending her letter by fax. She said she was "greatly disturbed" by what Schmack said was in the investigator's report.
"It is completely the opposite," she wrote. "I never did say he wasn't with me that night or that Dad wouldn't let me out of the house. What I did say is, 'I can't confirm the exact date that my recollection happened, but he came over around 9:30 p.m. as we had planned.'"
She added that he didn't stay long because she had a curfew. They talked outside, in a car, she added. "He said he was very happy and excited because he had just passed his test for the Air Force and he will be able to get into it. He asked me to hold the train ticket for him so he wouldn't lose it.' That was it. We talked for a while and he went home."
McCullough, then John Tessier, with high school girlfriend Jan Edwards, now Jan Swafford, at a formal dance.
At the time of McCullough's arrest, attention focused on the train ticket as a "smoking gun" in the case. But in the end, it bore little relevance because it had never been punched.
Swafford said in her letter to Schmack that she has tried to ignore the false reports, many of which focused on a train ticket. "It sounds like they just wanted to make an interesting story about it and get a conviction," she wrote.
"All I know is what I know to be true," she continued. "My memory of that night has never changed, and I have tried to ignore all of the newspapers' versions of what I said and just try to stick to what I actually remember."
Schmack assured her that he wouldn't expect her to remember everything that happened on that night in 1957, but added, "My job is primarily to seek justice." He said her "recollection of the events" as well as her more recent recall of her dealings with police and former prosecutors "may be of great assistance in that endeavor." | positive |
Like Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad was a pretty divisive movie. One of the things many fans took issue with from early on were the costume designs, but concept artist Christian Lorenz Scheurer has now shared some very interesting new alternate designs via his official website Those mostly focus on Enchantress, and her final form here actually looks a fair bit more impressive than the CGI heavy final version the movie itself delivered. Also below are some shots of The Joker and Harley Quinn which point to her escape playing out a little differently in an earlier version of the movie. As you can see, a drone rescues her and the villains later attempt to escape via a Midway City bridge.Alternate designs for these characters, Incubus (a villain most of us would probably prefer to forget), and the Enchantress' soldiers can be found by clicking below.

More than 50 Republican foreign policy veterans have signed a letter pledging to oppose Donald Trump and rejecting his proposals, according to one of the coordinators of the effort, in the latest sign of fissures between the Republican presidential front-runner and the party establishment.
The letter will be posted early Thursday morning on the "War on the Rocks" foreign policy blog, according to one of the organizers, Bryan McGrath, a retired U.S. Navy officer who also advised Mitt Romney's unsuccessful 2012 presidential campaign.
"We've got the right set of people," said McGrath, founding managing director of The FerryBridge Group LLC consultancy. "It's Republican foreign policy, defense, international types who, in signing the letter, are pledging not to support Donald Trump."
McGrath, who said 55 people had signed the letter so far, did not identify the signatories and declined to release the contents of the letter. Trump's campaign did not immediately respond to request for comment.
The War on the Rocks blog calls itself a platform for former diplomats, intelligence officers and scholars to comment on global affairs "through a realist lens". It was not clear who hosts or funds it.
Two people with knowledge of the letter said it pledged signatories to do all they could to prevent a Trump presidency, citing several of his proposals, including building a wall along the Mexican border, threatening to impose tariffs on China and supporting waterboarding, a harsh interrogation technique that critics say amounts to torture.
Dov Zakheim, who served as undersecretary of defense under President George W. Bush, and Peter Feaver, who worked on Bush's National Security Council staff, confirmed by email that they signed the letter.
The Financial Times reported on Wednesday that Robert Zoellick, the deputy secretary of state under Bush and former president of the World Bank, had signed. Zoellick could not immediately be reached for comment.
Trump has alarmed mainstream Republican foreign policy thinkers with comments denigrating Muslims and Mexican immigrants, and vowing to tear up international trade deals. Many of them fear a Trump presidency would severely strain ties with allies, and are concerned about his stated willingness to work more closely with authoritarian Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Trump also has criticized the Republican party for its backing of Bush's 2003 Iraq invasion.
"I would sooner work for (North Korean dictator) Kim Jong Un than for Donald Trump. I think Donald Trump is objectively more dangerous than Kim Jong Un and not as stable," said Max Boot, who was a foreign policy adviser to Mitt Romney's 2012 campaign and supported the 2003 invasion. He said he had signed the letter.
AMMUNITION FOR TRUMP?
Boot and two other people said the anti-Trump effort was also being organized by Eliot Cohen, a Johns Hopkins University professor who served as Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's counselor in the George W. Bush administration.
Cohen declined immediate comment.
McGrath said two people, who he didn't identify, declined to sign the letter because of their "fear that Donald Trump would use this as some sort of ammunition."
Kurt Volker, who was a permanent representative to NATO under the administration of George W. Bush, said he declined to sign the letter on concerns it could end up backfiring. It was not clear if he was one of the two experts mentioned by McGrath.
"My concern is that it's not smart for the intelligentsia - the national security intelligentsia - to come out and bash Trump, the candidate, partly, he would use that as a tool, saying: 'Here's the establishment. More of the same. They're afraid of me. I can do better.' He would actually use it as a bragging right."
Volker said he had no intention of working for Trump. But he also cautioned he wanted to be free to offer his advice to any future president, and that such a letter could prompt Trump to hold a grudge against signatories.
Several others who declined to sign, and asked not to be identified, said they did so because they feared such an effort could help Democrat Hillary Clinton win the presidency.
Trump's campaign has yet to release a full list of his foreign policy and national security advisers.
Those Trump has spoken with on foreign policy include a retired U.S. general and intelligence official, Michael Flynn, who favors closer ties with Russia. Flynn has declined to comment on whether he is advising Trump.
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who won popularity for his handling of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, has said he has been having regular talks with Trump, but not in a formal role. | positive |
Industry Minister James Moore has apologized for saying it's not the federal government's role to ensure hungry children are fed.
"In response to a question from a reporter last week, I made an insensitive comment that I deeply regret. I apologize," Moore said in a statement on his website Monday, referring to his comment to a Vancouver radio reporter on Friday.
"Caring for each other is a Canadian ethic that I strongly believe in — always have and always will. Of course poverty is an issue that concerns me, and concerns all Canadians. All levels of government, indeed all members of our society, have a responsibility to be compassionate and care for those in need," he added.
"Great work has been done to tackle poverty and the challenges associated with poverty. And while more work is needed, I know the cause of fighting poverty is not helped by comments like those I made last week. For that, I am sorry."
Moore had told the radio reporter that it isn't up to the federal government to help children who don't have enough to eat.
He said British Columbia's child poverty rates aren't the responsibility of the federal government, and it won't "usurp" the province.
"Is it the government's job — my job to feed my neighbour's child? I don't think so," Moore said.
"Obviously nobody wants kids to go to school hungry … but is that always the government's job? To be there to serve people their breakfast? Empowering families with more power and resources so they can feed their own children is I think a good thing," he said.
Story 'ridiculous'
Moore said prosperity is up in Canada and unemployment is down.
Moore was asked about child poverty rates in the province and children going to school hungry.
Before his apology, Moore said on Twitter that his comment was taken out of context.
"It is a ridiculous 'story' that completely takes a comment out of context," he wrote in response to a question.
Some media outlets initially reported that Moore had attempted to delete his comments — a claim that produced more criticism — but Moore had done no such thing. As a verified Twitter account, the default view of his timeline doesn't show replies to other users.
Unlike standard Twitter users, verified accounts require users to click to see all tweets.
Verified accounts are accounts that Twitter has confirmed are legitimate rather than hoax accounts set up in the name of high-profile people.
NDP appalled
Before hearing Moore's apology, New Democrat MP Jinny Sims said that she was appalled by his remarks.
"During the holidays many of us are looking to help our neighbours and those in need. For a Conservative minister to claim that child poverty isn't his problem is heartless," Sims said in a news release.
"Child poverty has continued to grow under this government, and now they’re saying it's not their problem. The minister should apologize for these offensive comments."
The House of Commons passed a unanimous motion in 1989 to eliminate child poverty by the year 2000, the NDP news release noted.
Instead, child poverty rates in Canada have risen, the release says.
A spokesman for Candice Bergen, minister of state for social development, said the government has made "major progress in reducing child poverty."
"Since we took office, there are over 225,000 fewer children in poverty than under the Liberals. We are also the government that introduced the Universal Child Care Benefit, which delivers $100 a month for every child under the age of six," Andrew McGrath said in an email to CBC News.
Reaction in British Columbia
A report from First Call B.C. Child and Youth Advocacy Coalition says B.C. has the highest child poverty rate in Canada. According to the report, one-fifth of B.C. children live in poverty.
The authors of the 2013 Child Poverty Report Card used the most recent Statistics Canada economic data available, from 2011, to issue their "dismal" findings for B.C.
The report says half of children in single-parent families in B.C. live in poverty. Creating affordable daycare and raising the minimum wage are among 16 recommendations in the report.
Frances Stone, a single mother of three who has struggled with poverty since childhood, said Moore's comments were offensive.
"I think he revealed a fundamental attitude that this government has about poor people and that somehow being poor has become a crime that should be punished," she said.
"Children are innocent, they've done nothing wrong, and if we have extra food, why not feed our neighbour's kid?" she said.
Stone said there are basic things the government can do to fight poverty, such as allowing single mothers on government assistance to keep their child support without clawback and increasing access to affordable childcare.
'Reflects very poorly on us as Canadians'
The Representative for Children and Youth in B.C., Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, said Moore's statement — even though retracted — is worrisome.
"The damage of a comment like this is it reflects very poorly on us as Canadians and suggests we have lost empathy for people who are in need, particularly children," she said.
"We need to actually not only feed our neighbour's children but really understand why is it that their parents are not able to feed them. What are the economic and social policies that are causing the degree of poverty that we're experiencing?" she said.
Turpel-Lafond said Moore's comments offer an opportunity for Canadians to stop and reassess their values.
"If we view our obligation in public service to only support the wealthy or the leaders of industry and we lose touch with the needs of children and our most vulnerable, it doesn't speak well of us as a society," she said. | positive |
Some members of Saskatoon’s cycling community are calling a new registry enabling members of the public to log their bike with the city’s police service an “amazing start” to curbing bike theft in the city.
An extension of last year’s #GetMyBikeBack campaign, which encouraged residents to record their bike’s serial number, the police have launched a bicycle registry so members of the public can submit information about their bike before a potential theft.
“It’s going to be huge,” said Saskatoon Cycles co-chair, Cathy Watts.
Calling the issue of bike theft in Saskatoon “rampant” Watts said information on how to register bikes will be handed out at its bike valets over the summer, noting they had hoped to have materials available to cyclists attending last week’s Taste of Saskatchewan event downtown.
Since the beginning of May, city police have recorded 303 bicycle thefts in Saskatoon, an increase of roughly eight per cent when compared to 279 bikes reported stolen during the same time last year.
“The police are going to work hand-in-hand with the cycling community and we’re going to make this change, so I’m really optimistic about this,” she said.
Jay Woytowich, owner of Doug’s Spoke N’ Sport on 20th Street, said only time will tell if the registry helps get stolen bikes back to their rightful owners.
“Sometimes, people … I can only guess, that they probably don’t report their bike stolen because they’re not going to be claiming insurance on it, so they feel it’s not important to report it,” he said. “But the thing is, is if somebody gets stopped with that stolen bike — no matter where it’s at or how much it’s worth — at least someone will be stopped with a stolen bike.”
While information will be distributed at bike valets, the main source of information will be at Saskatoon bike stores — big and small — as merchants will also be distributing information on how to register at the time a bike is purchased.
Alyson Edwards, Saskatoon police spokeswoman, said a buy-in from the cycling community is key, as city police want to see registering a bike become a routine part of the purchase.
“We want them to help us spread the word. When you can have involvement and buy-in from as many aspects of the community as possible, it benefits everyone,” she said. “I would say this is not about stopping people randomly on bicycles to check their serial numbers, this is about somebody getting their bike back.”
Edwards explained, in many cases, police recover stolen bikes — or pieces of stolen bikes — during searches, but don’t have a good method to connect with the bike’s owner. If the person has registered their bike with police, officers would have the information on-hand, meaning the bike may be returned even if the owner didn’t report it stolen or was aware it was missing.
However, Edwards noted it’s important for members of the public to report theft.
“If we don’t have people reporting their bikes being stolen, then we don’t know how bad the problem is.”
Lee Smith, a board member of Saskatoon Cycles, said bike theft affects people in a variety of ways, but for some, the loss can be detrimental.
“You might be ruining not only their day, but their month and their whole life,” he said. “That might be that person’s only way of getting around the city.”
Edwards explained while the SPS’s bike registry is now online, city police will be conducting an official launch for the service ahead of next year’s cycling season, noting police will monitor the registry over the coming months, working out any bugs or glitches.

Panos Panay, corporate vice president of devices, holds the new Microsoft Surface Studio computer at a live event in Manhattan on Oct. 26. (Lucas Jackson/Reuters)
Microsoft is trying to rekindle a rivalry with Apple, introducing two new computers on Wednesday that are aimed squarely at the creative set of customers whom Apple has long claimed as its own.
A few years ago, Microsoft seemed to be an afterthought for most in the tech world. Having all but missed the mobile revolution, it was hard to believe chief executive Satya Nadella when he said last year that Microsoft would focus on making innovative products people loved.
[Microsoft doesn’t just want you to use Windows 10. It wants you to love it.]
But he meant it. And Microsoft, still looking to shake off its image as the default option for the world's cubicle workers, took to a New York City stage on Wednesday to show off a generation of products designed to promote passion and creativity — not just productivity.
Microsoft introduced a new desktop, reimagined with touchscreen and pen technology that have earned it a following for its Surface tablets. The 28-inch computer, called the Surface Studio, sits on sleek chrome arms and can adjust to a flat angle for writers and sketchers who want to use it as an enormous piece of paper. Its minimalist design brought to mind the obsessive simplicity of Apple's thinnest Macs. The Surface Studio also comes with a hockey puck-like dial, in addition to a mouse. Users can place the dial on the screen to change things, such as paint color, mid-stroke. It can also be used off-screen, on your desk.
“Every single one of us is a creator,” said Microsoft's Panos Panay, the company's corporate vice president of devices. “We want people to use this product to help everyone create.”
Microsoft also introduced a new version of the Surface Book, its high-end laptop, which boasts 16 hours of battery life and, according to Panay, has three times the performance of the highest-end MacBook Pro.
That was a not-so-subtle dig that hints at the resurgence of an old rivalry. Microsoft's push into a space that has traditionally been Apple's domain — devices for creative types — comes at the same time as Apple has been touting the productivity of its own devices. Both are trying to frame their devices as products that can take customers seamlessly from work to play, at a time when the line between the two domains is blurring more than ever.
Apple is also expected to introduce new laptops this week, at a Thursday event at its Cupertino, Calif., headquarters. But the MacBook maker has already made clear that it has its eye on the business world that has been Microsoft's domain for many years, particularly with the introduction of its large iPad Pro tablet, which supports a keyboard and is sold as a possible laptop replacement — similar to Microsoft's Surface.
Of course, it remains to be seen how well either company's attempts to alter their images stick with consumers. And both Microsoft's new products are pricey — between $3,000 and $4,200 for the Studio, $2,400 for the Surface book — which makes it for high-end buyers. But it seems as if both firms are increasingly marketing to the same group of people.
Hardware isn't the only place where Microsoft is trying to change its image. The firm also showed ways it plans to bring 3D-modeling, virtual reality and augmented reality into the mainstream. The company's new “Creators” version of its Windows 10 operating system, due out in the spring, lets anyone scan and manipulate 3D objects into their computers to place in sketches and PowerPoint presentations.
The Windows 10 Creators edition also has more user-centric features such as a “people bar” powered by Microsoft's Skype, that will give users easy access to their most-used contacts. Users can also edit emoji, to fit their own personalities. Microsoft also showed off a native program called Beam that lets users stream video games from their PCs.
A previous version of this post misstated the price of the Surface Studio. This version has been corrected. | positive |
LIMBAUGH, HEALTH CARE, AND ‘REPARATIONS’…. Once in a while, the dog-whistle messages from the far-right are enough to make one’s ears bleed. Take Rush Limbaugh, for example, one of the most powerful and influential figures in modern Republican politics.
On his radio show yesterday, the right-wing host condemned health care reform as “a civil rights bill” and “reparations.” Seriously.
Limbaugh has spent plenty of time talking about President Obama and “reparations,” and has also had plenty to say about health care reform, but as far as I can tell, yesterday was one of those rare instances in which the host combined the two.
I’m going to go on a limb here and describe this as about the most racist thing a major American media personality has said in quite a while. This is about Limbaugh trying — with no subtlety at all — to stir up racial fears and anxiety in the hopes of blocking improvements to a dysfunctional health care system, which has repeatedly screwed over a fair amount of Limbaugh’s audience.
The racism isn’t even restrained. Limbaugh has trashed progressive efforts to improve America’s health care system for years, but notice he didn’t start talking about “reparations” and comparing reform to a “civil rights bill” until the President of the United States was African American. The nauseating message is about as subtle as a sledgehammer.
Ezra added, “It’s one of the odder elements of American politics that Democrats have routinely denounced ACORN and MoveOn.org but Republicans feel no compunction to run from this hatemonger.”
Quite right. Dems keep fringe liberals at arm’s length, but Republicans can’t wait to associate themselves with a racist, drug-addled radio personality, who seems to have more influence in GOP politics than anyone. Indeed, when a Republican dares to disagree with Limbaugh in public, he/she invariably reverses course and begs Rush for forgiveness.
Now, I know how easy it is to say, “Democrats should make hay of this.” The DNC can’t chase after ever bouncing ball, and turn every stupid thing said on a radio show into a national controversy.
But it would be encouraging to see something come of this. Ideally, Republican leaders would be asked a simple question: “Rush Limbaugh sees the health care debate in racial terms, and considers the president’s plan ‘reparations.’ Do you agree?” | positive |

Unluckily, the BBC goes out of its way to block any viewer from outside the UK. But, with the right VPN, you will be able to access one of the most popular (and free!) streaming services in the world. What is BBC iPlayer and how does it work? The BBC iPlayer is a free streaming service made in the UK. Not only that: it’s ad-free! But how can this be? You see, every UK citizen is required to pay a TV license fee. With that money, the BBC funds its national TV as well as all the streaming services that it provides through iPlayer. At the time of writing, this fee is around £ 150,00 per year and is mandatory even if a citizen in the UK never watches TV or uses any of BBC’s streaming services. In spite of that, the behavior of the BBC to the people of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is quite fair: its website hides all the advertisement for anybody who is in the UK, and shows it only to foreigners to help them pay and fund their international services such as BBC News, BBC Sounds, BBC Podcasts and more. But, since only UK citizens pay for the content that the BBC decides to acquire the license for, the BBC outright blocks all the incoming traffic from outside UK territory. And it does so zealously. In an effort to better compete with Netflix, BBC is gradually extending the online availability of shows and programs to up to one year. Thanks to the BBC iPlayer, UK citizens can watch a TV show after it airs (known as “catch up tv”). This is true also for reruns and new episodes of TV series and shows, which they can usually broadcast for up to 30 days after airing. However, in an effort to compete with Netflix, BBC is gradually extending the availability of shows and programs to up to one year. Children’s programs will even remain on iPlayer for up to five years. In addition, Brits can watch all of their favorite TV channels online, access exclusive online content, and download all of their programmings. By extension, anybody who watches the BBC iPlayer using a VPN has the same functionality as a UK citizen – without paying. Best VPN services for the BBC iPlayer So, here we are touching the core of the solution: which VPN to use? It’s imperative that the VPN has apps for a variety of operating systems. This is because the BBC iPlayer is available basically on any platform, and choosing a VPN just to discover that you can watch the BBC iPlayer on your PC but not on your smartphone would be pretty bad. Also, it’s crucial to use a VPN that is actually made to circumvent geoblocking. Since the main goal of a VPN is to offer privacy and anonymity online, many VPNs do not specifically support or advertise their geoblock circumvention. So here’s our list of the three best VPN services on the market for the BBC iPlayer (we do not recommend free solutions since they can’t provide stable streaming). Top 3 VPN Services for BBC iPlayer The word's most popular VPN! NordVPN ★★★★★ ★★★★★ 4.8 Price $3.71 p/m Overview NordVPN is one of our top contenders. This is the choice for people on the lookout for a reliable and affordable VPN service. It has all of the apps you need to use the BBC iPlayer on basically any device! Nord boasts a whopping 645 servers in the UK – needed to watch BBC as a ‘local’. Support Over 5400 servers in 59 countries OpenVPN, IKEv2/IPSec and WireGuard protocols Unblocks most streaming services Double VPN, Onion-over-VPN, CyberSec and other features 30-day money-back guarantee Some servers could be unstable Few advanced settings Visit NordVPN Read The Review Our #1 VPN! ExpressVPN ★★★★★ ★★★★★ 4.9 Price $6.67 p/m Overview Just as NordVPN, this is one of our top choices. It has an amazing fleet of worldwide servers, of which a solid 7 in the UK. ExpressVPN is also a good choice for anybody who, other than using the iPlayer, needs a fast connection from a variety of locations. Support Huge and extremely diverse server network The best speeds out of any VPN provider Exclusive Lightway protocol - the lightest VPN protocol in the industry Elegant, user-friendly apps for absolutely every device, including routers Comes with a free password manager One of the most expensive VPN providers Owned by Kape Technologies which some see as subject to controversy Visit ExpressVPN Read The Review CyberGhost VPN ★★★★★ ★★★★★ 4.5 Price $2.29 p/m Overview We rated CyberGhost fairly poorly on our overall list of the best VPNs on the market. So you might be asking why it’s now third best for BBC iPlayer. Simply put, it’s quite a solid VPN for streaming: fast, reliable, and easy to use. CyberGhost has a staggering 665 servers in the UK. Our overall low score comes from CyberGhost’s practices, which put privacy at the bottom. But if you need a VPN just to stream TV shows and movies, and online privacy is less of a concern for you, this is an excellent and fast choice. Support Wide range of speedy servers Very clear and easy to use application Reliably evade geoblocking No P2P on mobile apps Visit CyberGhost VPN Read The Review BBC Sounds What was once called iPlayer Radio has been recently renovated into what is now known as iPlayer Sounds. IPlayer Radio was the place for podcasts, music, sports commentaries, and news. But it was very much a passive experience since there was no personalization whatsoever. You could choose your favorite podcasts and programs to listen to, but that was about it. According to BBC, “In 2018, the BBC announced that it will be replacing BBC iPlayer Radio with a new audio product called BBC Sounds to introduce a more personalized listening experience. Combining radio, podcasts, and music, BBC Sounds brings together all of the 80,000 hours of the audio content we have available across the BBC to people who might be less familiar with it”. A BBC spokesperson said: “We’re changing the way we can all consume radio – with a new audio service BBC Sounds to replace iPlayer Radio – to give you easier access to the great British content we make”. A part from upgrading the look and functionality of the site and the apps, many more features were added on the BBC Sounds. For example, with the new app you have a personalized area for saved and subscribed programs called “My Sounds”. Also, playback of live and on-demand audio is much easier to find. Unfortunately, you cannot stream every piece of content of BBC Sounds from anywhere in the world. Because of those pesky licensing issues, of course! According to the BBC, “for rights reasons we may not be able to broadcast certain sports coverage outside the UK. Music content may also be restricted to within the UK for rights reasons”. So, if you wish to listen to the BBC Sounds without any restrictions a VPN can easily solve your problem! BBC iPlayer app The BBC iPlayer is available for every platform imaginable. Whether you run on Android, iOS (iPhone and iPad), macOS, or Windows, the selection seems endless. It’s also available for basically any smart TV, along with any smart-enabling device. All apps are reliable, easy to use, and understand. Every show can be downloaded so that it can be consumed offline. Each app is updated frequently, and both the reviews on the App Store and the Play Store reflect the BBC’s good service. Having a multitude of apps to choose from has also disadvantages. For non-UK citizens, this means finding a VPN that works on a variety of operating systems. Some VPNs don’t support Android, iOS, MacOS or Windows. It’s crucial that the VPN of your choice is compatible with the OS you decide to use so that you can watch BBC iPlayer with no troubles. The practice of geoblocking The practice of geoblocking based on the geographical position is very common. Netflix, Hulu, the BBC iPlayer, and many more international and local streaming services want people to access their country’s content only from…well, their country. This creates a huge discrepancy in the content available in each nation. For example, in many countries where Netflix is available, some of its originals are not available. This happens because Netflix previously gave all the rights to a local streaming service. This means that many users around the world can’t watch House of Cards or Orange is the New Black. Weird, right? But not impossible.BBC iPlayer blocks all the traffic that comes from outside its UK home base. The BBC iPlayer, just like many of its competitors, blocks all the traffic that comes from outside its home base. The British broadcaster does this for a number of reasons. The main one is that the BBC doesn’t want to show its content – for which good money was paid – to anybody who didn’t participate in the cost. But how can it know whether you visit from outside or inside the UK? You see, every router has a unique IP address. When asking a website to display a page, your IP address gets sent to the website’s server. Along with all information regarding your locality. This way, they will always know with 100% certainty which country you are visiting from. Using a VPN is the most secure way to mask our IP address. What happens is very simple: each time you ask for a website page, the request goes through the VPN server first. When it does, the server swaps your IP address with its IP address. This way, if the VPN server is located in, say, Germany, your request will look like it came from Germany. Unfortunately, having multiple servers around world is expensive. Even though there are plenty of free VPNs claiming they are good for watching BBC iPlayer, we discourage their use.

Has the year always started on 1 January? In some ways, yes. When Julius Caesar introduced his calendar in 45 B.C.E., he made 1 January the start of the year, and it was always the date on which the Solar Number and the Golden Number were incremented. However, the church didn’t like the wild parties that took place at the start of the new year, and in C.E. 567 the council of Tours declared that having the year start on 1 January was an ancient mistake that should be abolished. Through the middle ages various New Year dates were used. If an ancient document refers to year X, it may mean any of 7 different periods in our present system: 1 Mar X to 28/29 Feb X+1 1 Jan X to 31 Dec X 1 Jan X-1 to 31 Dec X-1 25 Mar X-1 to 24 Mar X 25 Mar X to 24 Mar X+1 Saturday before Easter X to Friday before Easter X+1 25 Dec X-1 to 24 Dec X Choosing the right interpretation of a year number is difficult, so much more as one country might use different systems for religious and civil needs. The Byzantine Empire used a year starting on 1 Sep, but they didn’t count years since the birth of Christ, instead they counted years since the creation of the world which they dated to 1 September 5509 B.C.E. Since about 1600 most countries have used 1 January as the first day of the year. Italy and England, however, did not make 1 January official until around 1750. In England (but not Scotland) three different years were used: The historical year, which started on 1 January. The liturgical year, which started on the first Sunday in advent. The civil year, which from the 7th to the 12th century started on 25 December, from the 12th century until 1751 started on 25 March, from 1752 started on 1 January. → See the British Calendar Act of 1751. It is sometimes claimed that having the year start on 1 January was part of the Gregorian calendar reform. This is not true. This myth has probably started because in 1752 England moved the start of the year to 1 January and also changed to the Gregorian calendar. But in most other countries the two events were not related. Scotland, for example, changed to the Gregorian calendar together with England in 1752, but they moved the start of the year to 1 January in 1600.
Then what about leap years? If the year started on, for example, 1 March, two months later than our present year, when was the leap day inserted? When it comes to determining if a year is a leap year, since AD 8 the Julian calendar has always had 48 months between two leap days. So, in a country using a year starting on 1 March, 1439 would have been a leap year, because their February 1439 would correspond to February 1440 in the January-based reckoning.
What is the origin of the names of the months? A lot of languages, including English, use month names based on Latin. Their meaning is listed below. However, some languages (Czech and Polish, for example) use quite different names.
Month Latin Origin January Januarius Named after the god Janus. February Februarius Named after Februa, the purification festival. March Martius Named after the god Mars. April Aprilis Named either after the goddess Aphrodite or the Latin word aperire, to open. May Maius Probably named after the goddess Maia. June Junius Probably named after the goddess Juno. July Julius Named after Julius Caesar in 44 B.C.E. Prior to that time its name was Quintilis from the word quintus, fifth, because it was the 5th month in the old Roman calendar. August Augustus Named after emperor Augustus in 8 B.C.E. Prior to that time the name was Sextilis from the word sextus, sixth, because it was the 6th month in the old Roman calendar. September September From the word septem, seven, because it was the 7th month in the old Roman calendar. October October From the word octo, eight, because it was the 8th month in the old Roman calendar. November November From the word novem, nine, because it was the 9th month in the old Roman calendar. December December From the word decem, ten, because it was the 10th month in the old Roman calendar.
Was Jesus born in the year 0? No. There are two reasons for this: There is no year 0. Jesus was born before 4 B.C.E. The concept of a year "zero" is a modern myth (but a very popular one). In our calendar, C.E. 1 follows immediately after 1 B.C.E. with no intervening year zero. So a person who was born in 10 B.C.E. and died in C.E. 10, would have died at the age of 19, not 20. Furthermore, as described in section 2.14, our year reckoning was established by Dionysius Exiguus in the 6th century. Dionysius let the year C.E. 1 start one week after what he believed to be Jesus’ birthday. But Dionysius’ calculations were wrong. The Gospel of Matthew tells us that Jesus was born under the reign of king Herod the Great, who died in 4 B.C.E.. It is likely that Jesus was actually born around 7 B.C.E.. The date of his birth is unknown; it may or may not be 25 December.
Why do the 9th thru 12th months have names that mean 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th? September through December were the seventh through tenth months of a calendar used by the first Romans. Ancient historian and Greek biographer Plutarch, wrote in C.E. 75, about how they became displaced to two positions higher than their names would indicate. → Read excerpt of Plutarch’s essay. → Read more about the early Roman calendar. | positive |

A father's alleged family field trip to meet an underage girl he wanted to have sex with ended with an arrest.
Police say 64-year-old Cliff Oshman of Daytona Beach, Fla. had been chatting for months with what he thought was an underage girl looking to have sex with him. What Oshman didn't know was he was actually chatting with an undercover officer, The Orlando Sentinel reported.
In March, Oshman allegedly posted an online ad saying he "was looking for someone to add to his cozy family and that the age of the person did not matter."
An officer responded, posing as a 14-year-old girl to whom Oshman would eventually send nude photographs, along with pictures of he and his family.
In the arrest report, Oshman is said to have written emails detailing his fantasies to the officer, including thinking about the girl while having sex with his wife, according to The Daily Mail.
"When people discover we are lovers, and find out your age, there will certainly be a scandal," Oshman is accused of saying to the officer online. "We need to make a plan to handle it OK ... I sincerely would love you to be in my life."
Oshman got more than a scandal, however, when officers say he finally made plans to meet with the girl last Friday.
The man allegedly brought his wife and young daughter to a supermarket where the two would-be lovers planned to meet. Instead, he met with police.
"The wife and daughter were given a ride to the police department and during that ride [his wife] told detectives that the defendant and she were supposed to meet a 14-year-old girl for sex," the report said.
Oshman was arrested on felony charges, including using a computer to solicit sex from a child, traveling to solicit sex from a child, and transmitting images harmful to a child.
It is unclear at this time if Oshman's wife will face charges.
In 2009, an undercover officer arrested 48-year-old Anthony Taylor of New York for allegedly planning to have sex with what he thought was a woman and her 14-month-old baby. In internet chat rooms, including one called "Start them Early," Taylor detailed his plans with the two:
"We can lay around in bed all day playing and having fun... all three of us... What will you two girls do for me?" | positive |

Don’t let this alarm you. Cavities are treatable and with the proper techniques you can drastically reduce the chances of you ever getting a cavity. However, do you know what the warning signs are? You may not, because a cavity is not always easy to detect right away. If left untreated, they get larger and affect deeper layers of your teeth. They can lead to a severe toothache, infection and tooth loss. What is a cavity? A cavity is a hole in your tooth that can get bigger and deeper over time if not properly treated. How does a cavity develop? When your tooth is exposed to acid frequently, this will cause the enamel to break down. As the enamel continues to break down, it allows the bacteria to cling to your teeth causing small white spots to form on your teeth. This is the first warning sign that a cavity may be developing. If the tooth decay process continues, this will form the cavity. The Canadian Dental Association mentions that these are signs of a cavity: Toothaches and/or spontaneous pain Tooth sensitivity Mild to sharp pain when eating or drinking something sweet, hot or cold Visible holes or pits in your teeth Brown, black or white staining on any surface of a tooth Pain when you bite down White spots on your teeth How to reduce the chances of getting a cavity: Chew Sugar Free Gum Consume Vitamin D Brush with a fluoride toothpaste Cut down on sugary foods and snacks Gently brush your gums as well to keep them healthy Maintain your dental regimen by sticking with your oral care schedule of visiting the dentist two times a year How to treat a cavity Treatment depends on how bad the cavity is. Most often, your dentist will remove the decayed portion of your tooth with a drill. They’ll then fill the hole with a filling made of either silver alloy, gold, porcelain, or a composite resin…all safe materials. The best way to spot and properly diagnose a cavity is through regular dental exams. If you think you or a family member may have an oral cavity and you have not seen a dentist in more than six months, we highly recommend booking an appointment with at any of our locations to speak to a dental professional.
