It's a little early to claim that history will deem January 31, 2017 as one of the most consequential days in Donald Trump's presidency, but there's little doubt today will figure as a critically important one for the new president one way or another.
Trump announced yesterday he would be revealing his nominee to replace the late Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court tonight at 8 p.m. EST from the White House. Everything surrounding the event suggests it isn't just another day at the office. The entire country will be watching to see who Trump chose to tip the Court.
Historically speaking, nominations weren't always treated like they would make or break the republic. We should not forget that outgoing President John Adams nominated legendary Chief Justice John Marshall to the Court almost as an afterthought in January, 1801. Marshall was Secretary of State at the time and held onto that office until Adams was replaced as president by Thomas Jefferson in March of that year.
Therefore, Marshall served as Chief Justice and Secretary of State simultaneously for about a month in 1801. Try pulling that one off today.
Of course Marshall went on to cement the doctrine of judicial review into America's constitutional structure, creating three coequal branches of government. Because federal judges were empowered to interpret the constitutionality of laws, the judiciary continues to wield great power if judges choose to use it (in essence, "creating" law).
That's why everyone is getting so worked up about Trump's nomination. Face it, the new Justice will have enormous sway over the direction of law for likely the next three decades.
It's been widely reported that Trump will choose between Federal Appeals Court Judges Neil Gorsuch (10th Circuit), Thomas Hardiman (3rd) and William Pryor (11th) -- but there could still be others in contention.
Byron York of the Washington Examiner reports, "When discussing Senate-confirmed nominations, it always makes sense to look at the favorites of powerful senators, and in that case, there just happens to be one candidate on the Trump list from Kentucky and two from Iowa — the home states, respectively, of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley. (Amul Thapar, who has often been praised by McConnell, is currently on the U.S. District Court in Kentucky, while Iowan Steven Colloton serves on the 8th Circuit, and Edward Mansfield serves on the Iowa Supreme Court.) Things might not be as narrowed-down as some think."
There's also Senator Mike Lee, whom many speculate is in line for the Court once Trump decides it's time.
In his article York described the "confirmability" of each potential nominee, arguing different factors could come into play for each one.
In reaching his final decision President Trump has consulted with a lot of people and probably figures there's going to be considerable muscle behind getting his nominee confirmed.
He's right. Shane Goldmacher of Politico reports, "With Trump planning to announce his nominee on Tuesday night, his allies are moving quickly to sharpen a battle plan, and the first formal meeting of the de facto war room for the coming confirmation fight took place on Friday at the Capitol Hill headquarters of the National Republican Senatorial Committee on Friday.
"Inside the room were officials from the White House, Senate GOP leadership and the outside groups that have spent months researching the records of Trump's potential picks and are now prepared to unload at least $10 million in ads backing the nominee—much of it directed at Senate Democrats up for election in 2018 in states Trump carried."
In other words, this nomination goes well beyond the traditional tug-of-war between senators in the minority and majority. Outside groups on both sides will be heavily involved with this struggle the next couple months. A lot of money is going to be spent. Outlandish claims will be advanced. The left will say the world will end if the nominee gets through.
And Madonna will probably add the Supreme Court to her list of buildings to torch.
Harkening back to President John Adams and his appointment of John Marshall, I doubt there were any such "war rooms" set up to shepherd Marshall through Senate confirmation back in the days when men had honor and things were simple. In fact, the Senate confirmed Marshall within a week (keep in mind Adams was a lame duck and had just passed the "Midnight Judges Act").
There won't be any such free pass for the president's nominee this time. Liberal groups have apparently already claimed all of the 21 names on Trump's Supreme Court list are unacceptable. Therefore, there will be a fight no matter who Trump ends up naming.
As has been talked about a lot lately, confirmation could ultimately depend on how many Democrats are willing to cross the aisle to join Republicans in ending a potential filibuster and voting for the nominee. Individual state politics could play a major role. There could be some horse trading, begging, cajoling, wining and dining and even a few threats along the way.
One thing's for sure – it's going to be a heck of a ride. And it all starts tonight.
Trump derangement syndrome symptoms include crying fits and threats to secede
Though it hardly can be denied that Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee will face more than his/her fair share of "resistance" from Senate Democrats, it's become clear from the ten-plus days of Trump's presidency that all sorts of crazed opposition is springing up in leftist enclaves across the country.
Of course there were the astonishing protests over the past weekend against Trump's common sense order restricting Muslim travel and immigration from seven terrorist hotspots around the world. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer's voice cracked and tears welled in his eyes as he described Trump's move as "mean-spirited" and "Un-American."
Trump was in no mood to let Schumer's emotional breakdown off lightly, either. Al Weaver of the Washington Examiner reports, "After saying that Senate Democrats are intentionally stalling his cabinet selections, Trump attacked the New York Democrat (Schumer), who appeared to well up during his scheduled news conference on Sunday in New York while talking about the order.
"'I noticed Chuck Schumer yesterday with fake tears. I'm going to ask him who is his acting coach 'cause I know him very well,' Trump said while appearing at a meeting with small business owners."
Regardless of whether Schumer's misty eyes contained crocodile tears or the real thing, there's little doubt that the angry unbalanced feeling behind them was genuine. Democrats just don't seem to know how to react to Trump and it's gone way beyond the screeching obsession that was exhibited during the previous weekend's "Women's March" in Washington.
Quite simply put, Democrats are having a moment in front of the whole country.
There's even a movement out in California to not only offer opposition to the new president's policies, but to resist them in addition. In the process the "s" word has been thrown out quite a bit recently, and I'm not talking about smelly organic matter. "Secession" is being thought of by some liberals as a possible fix for California's irreconcilable differences with the federal government.
John Fund writes in National Review, "Some of their rhetoric resembles that of the 'massive resistance' movement in the 1950s South, which vowed to fight federal intrusion into the right of states to run their own discriminatory elections, segregate public schools, and ignore federal law enforcement.
"Assembly speaker Anthony Rendon has warned Trump that he better not dare to go after any of the state's estimated 2 million illegal immigrants: 'If you want to get to them, you have to go through us.' Governor Jerry Brown vows to block any attempt to divert California from its radical plan to limit carbon emissions: 'We've got the scientists. We've got the lawyers, and we're ready to fight.' State attorney general Xavier Bacerra says one of his top priorities is the 'resistance' against Washington's deportation of illegal immigrants, even to the point of paying their legal fees to fight the federales."
Fund's solution to the California dilemma is to divide the state in two rather than having it secede, which would be a political longshot at best to pull off. Partitioning the state in two would be a dicey proposition as well, but at least then potential civil war would be avoided.
The larger point to be taken from Schumer's crocodile tears and California's secession talk is the increasingly obvious notion that Democrats will never be persuaded to accept anything that comes out of President Trump's mouth or results from his pen. They can only be defeated at the ballot box – and even then, they're not accepting the results.
The erosion of traditional American mores over the past quarter century has split the country basically in two, essentially along party lines. The Republicans represent, however loosely, the limited government constitutional side that under Trump, now includes populist ideas of pro-American trade and tight immigration enforcement.
Meanwhile the Democrats are a coalition party made up of minority interests, public employee unions, true-believing liberals, radical feminists, anarchists, socialists, environmentalists, utopians and ill-informed dreamers. Name a stupid theory and the Democrats are your champions.
What used to be seen as the party of the working class has now been co-opted by looney leftists who cry when someone proposes to protect national security. Or worse, they threaten to defy laws passed by Congress and "resist" outside of the usual means of settling disputes through the federal court system.
Yes, there certainly will be a fight over Trump's Supreme Court nominee; not due to the person being unqualified, but because the Democrats aren't willing to submit to process or elections or traditions or precedents or even rules laid out in the Constitution.
They used to call it "Bush Derangement Syndrome" whenever leftists would throw a fit over something the former president proposed. The disease went away for a while after Obama was elected, but now it's back – and it's worse.
And unfortunately for the country, there doesn't appear to be any cure for the affliction.
Ho hum, another day, another kept Trump campaign promise
You might think after the flurry of activity during Donald Trump's first week as president that he might be considering slowing down a bit, but in addition to announcing his intention to reveal his Supreme Court pick tonight, Trump also kept another major campaign promise via executive order yesterday.
Lydia Wheeler and Lisa Hagen of The Hill report, "President Trump on Monday signed an executive order that would require agencies to revoke two regulations for every new rule they want to issue.
"The executive order is aimed at dramatically rolling back federal regulations, one of his top campaign promises...
"The order requires agencies to control the costs of all new rules within their budget. Agencies are also prohibited from imposing any new costs in finalizing or repealing a rule for the remainder of 2017 unless that cost is offset by the repeal of two existing regulations."
The order allows for exceptions in case of emergency or national security concerns.
As would be expected, leftists instantaneously decried the diminution of regulatory authority. To them, if the government isn't in control of everything then "protections" are being lost. The only problem is there's already so much "protection" going on that businesses are prevented from innovating and expanding. Job creation suffers.
Again, it's common sense.
Where regulation is concerned there's always a need to balance between private property rights and the government's legitimate interest in "protecting" people. Lawmakers can't possibly assess every problem at the local level so it's often left up to the bureaucracy to try and carry out the wishes of Congress.
And as has been demonstrated over the years, bureaucrats often have their own agendas.
The rapid growth of the federal government has produced an army of regulators just itching to slap new rules on people. Hopefully Trump's order will help level the playing field. It will also be a sign to businesses that they have a friend in the White House who will help them expand and improve instead of saddling them with new requirements.
America grew into the greatest economy in the world precisely because people could "dream" of owning their own businesses and run them the way they saw fit. My grandfather was one such man who turned a service station into a thriving auto dealership with quite a few employees.
The old saying goes "you can't tax your way to prosperity." Well, you can't regulate your way there either.
President Trump kept another important campaign promise on Monday. I'm guessing businesses will respond accordingly.
President Donald J. Trump will keep his promise and appoint a justice in the mold of the late justice Antonin Scalia that will tip the balance of the Supreme Court so that the rule of law of the US Constitution can take shape to guide our society in the right direction and uphold and protect our inalienable rights and freedoms given to us by God .We know the liberal justices will do whatever they want without regards for the Constitution and conservative justices will abide by the Constitution and follow the rule of law.
President Donald J. Trump promised to Drain the Swamp and has kept his promise to role back excessive regulations that hurt small businesses which will bring economic growth, job creation and prosperity. He will work with conservatives in Congress to get things done in Washington because liberals and Democrats only want to advance their big government and liberal agenda that is bad for the country.
Stop union bosses from forcing workers to pay union dues to keep their jobs which is a get rich scheme by these union bosses.

Things seem to be warming up again on the music scene; I headed over to Pressed last week to see a Debaser-promoted show featuring Locals trails and tourmates Twist and So Young. Allie was on stage and like her set opening for Michael Swann at Raw Sugar back in July put on a knockout show.
Allie sings!
Closeup action!
London's So Young play some fuzzy indie rock that's in the same orbit as Best Coast and Dum Dum Girls. A very solid set despite some wonky pedal issues. Here's frontwoman Paterson Hodgson!
Drummer Dave Lunman hits!
Adam Gilkes plays some guitar!
Pedal-stepping action!
Laurie McColeman handles the low end.
The shouty bit!
Extra Dave!
Singalong action!
The view from the other side of the room.
Twist is fronted by Laura Hermiston of Toronto's BB Guns and produces some more of that grungy and fuzzy pop, with perhaps a bit more of a dreamy feel than So Young.
I'm not sure who's in the band beside Laura, but here's the chap on drums to start with.
Guitar action!
Laura sings!
More guitar!
Rhythm section action!
Backing vocal action!
Drum pad action!
More Laura!
And so on!
Even more guitar!
A great show for a packed house.

Works Progress Administration/Federal Art Project
- Patricia Hills
The Federal Art Project (FAP) was the visual arts branch of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), a government agency created in 1935 to find employment for people on public projects in response to the Great Depression. In December 1933 the ambitious Public Works of Art Project (PWAP) was set up to create regional offices to employ artists, with Edward Bruce of the Treasury Department as national director. The successful program employed some 3749 artists across the country, but it was phased out by the summer of 1934. (Bruce later headed other programs under the Treasury Department that employed artists.)
With the relief needs of artists, writers, musicians and theater people unresolved and with the experimental climate of the New Deal still energizing legislation, Harry Hopkins of the WPA set up Federal Project No. 1 in August 1935, which had the most far-reaching cultural impact on the country. There were four cultural projects: Art, Music, Theatre and Writers. For the art project, ...

This isn't quite a Mable Adventure but we walk with our friends, Joy and Rob and their two dogs Flick and Alfie, regularly so I decided to include our walks in my blog.
This particular walk, The Three Castle Walk in Shropshire, was the one chosen, by Joy and Rob, on this occasion.
We started our walk from the Swan Inn, unfortunately too early for a gin, at 9.50 am and headed up the lane to a chapel.
Over bridges we clambered looking at historical features like this horse trough.
The first castle we approached was Broncroft Castle, a beautiful home now. Shame it wasn't open to the public, like a good mooch around an old castle.
Walking on, we went through lots of stiles with no dog holes in, which made it very difficult for us to get Flick and Alfie over them. This was making Rob very mucky but he wore it well. The terrain was varied going through fields, lanes, corn fields and woods.
Eventually we reached The Tally Ho Inn. This was a pub that seemed to be in the middle of nowhere but what a find. It was a typical country pub with an eating place outside too. It was very clean and welcoming. The beer was excellent so the others told me and the gin was very tasty. We had a very refreshing break here but decided not to have a meal, although they did look very tempting, so we shared our packed lunch together out on the picnic tables!! ( shhh! Don't tell the landlord.)
Even Stick man got in on the act. Bless him.
Moving on, passing a couple of beautiful cottages and one not so beautiful. (It's such a shame to see places in such dis repair,) we climbed over another set of stiles.
Looking at the information board we realised we had found our second castle Corfham Castle, which seemed to have a large settlement around it, we walked thoughtfully over the groundworks thinking about all the other people that had walked there in the past.
The next gate didn't pose a problem for the dogs because as Rob untied the rope the whole gate collapsed. It gave us all quite a scare but don't worry we replaced it into the position we found it in.
The sun was out when we walked through the hay bale field and they looked quite inviting for a little rest.
Reaching our third and last castle, Corfton Castle, we read the information board and was disappointed that once again there was no public access, but you could see the mound where it used to stand.
Before reaching Diddlebury, we had to pass a field of cows and walk through a field that had a bull in!! Joy was very brave for she has a very real fear of cows. Well done Joy.
The village of Diddlebury was a quiet, small and picturesque place. It had a stream running through the middle so we walked over the bridge and continued to the school and up over the field.
After a while, we realised we had gone wrong. The boys consulted the map and we decided to turn back so we could complete the whole walk. We were so glad we did as there was lots to explore in the hedgerows.
On the final streak he of the walk the heavens opened and raincoats went on, such a shame as we weren't far from the car. Soggy and wet, we sat in the bus shelter and rested our legs. We then decided to get changed there too!! So glad it was very quiet and nobody was about.
We were all shattered, some more than others but we had the most enjoyable day.
It was such a shame as The Swan was closed when we reached it. We decided to go into Church Stretton and had a meal at The Station. It was a very friendly pub. The meals were very tasty and the puddings were a well earned treat after such an energetic day.
I recommend this walk, definitely for people, not quite so sure about dogs!! however you would need to take the print out from the link above and a map as some instructions were not clear. It could also get very muddy in parts after rain. The walk has a good variety of different environments and lots of interest about the local history.

Another Free Agency Fail For Jason LichtFebruary 13th, 2019
Let's think about what just happened here.
The Bucs struck out in free agency. Yeah, again.
The release of Vinny Curry after only one season is a public acknowledgment that Tampa Bay didn't do its proper homework last March.
Jason Licht pounced on Curry the day after he was released by the Super Bowl champion Eagles, handing him a base salary of $3 million and a $3.5 million roster bonus.
That's a lot of cabbage for a guy who had posted only one season with more than four sacks.
Licht believed Curry's championship pedigree would rub off on some younger players, but now Curry is free to deliver all that leadership for another franchise. Curry battled through some injuries and was outplayed by Carl Nassib, younger and cheaper.
So now Curry joins a long list of free-agent gaffes that has haunted the Bucs throughout this brutal 11-year playoff drought.
Curry was supposed to be a key contributor in an offseason haul up front, joining Jason Pierre-Paul, Beau Allen, Mitch Unrein and Vita Vea.
Now Curry is toast, and he won't be the last to depart from that group.
Buc fans should never forget that teams active in free agency are usually trying to make up for mistakes in the draft.
If Noah Spence had lived up to expectations, the Bucs wouldn't have overpaid Curry. If Vernon Hargreaves had established himself as a dependable pro, Licht wouldn't have drafted two cornerbacks in the second round.
Only one word matters when it comes to free agency — value.
Just ask Hall of Fame executive Bill Polian.
"You had better do your homework well in advance of this and you better continue to do your homework throughout this whole process," Polian says. "What this is about is getting maximum value for your money. It's not fantasy football."
When the Bucs turn in their homework for free agency, there are pages missing. At least Curry wasn't a locker room poison like some past signings Tampa Bay fans know about all too well.
The Bucs won't have as much cap space as they are accustomed to heading into 2019 free agency, and that's a good thing. It's more important than ever to find value in the marketplace, more important than ever to base your decisions on solid research.
"Free agency is dangerous," says Bears GM Ryan Pace, who has built a dangerous young club on the shores of Lake Michigan. "You're stepping through land mines, and you've got to be careful you don't step on one. A lot of times these guys are available for a reason. You have to sort through that."
Sorting through all that takes times and dedication. Money is a big factor and the Bucs no longer have the luxury of a starting quarterback on a cheap rookie contract.
Jameis Winston is going to be paid this fall and the ramifications should be profound. There's less margin for error moving forward around One Buc Place, less room for misjudging talent.
"In free agency, you pay A money for B players," Polian says. The Bucs have proven Polian right in that regard with a slew of poor decisions when March rolls around.
"You can always recover from the player you didn't sign," says Pace. "You can't recover from the player you signed at the wrong price."
Sounds like a sign that should be hanging in Licht's office.
Ira Kaufman began covering the NFL as a New York Giants beat writer in 1979. He arrived on the Buccaneers beat in 1985. The corporate leash was removed from his neck when he joined JoeBucsFan.com in July 2016. The award-winning Ira Kaufman Podcast fires twice per week, and Ira's columns appear thrice weekly, except when Ira is on special assignment. Tampa Bay's only Hall of Fame voter also is a popular guest on various national radio and on local TV.

When Mario Sepulveda emerged blinking into the sunlight after three months trapped in a Chilean mine, his first thought was joy at being alive. His second was how to make the most of it.
For Mr Sepulveda and the rest of "the 33" – the Chilean miners who five years ago became trapped underground, and whose rescue captured the hearts of the world – knew that they had a limited window of time to capitalise on their remarkable story.
On Friday the film of their tale, entitled The 33, will be released in the UK, starring Antonio Banderas, Gabriel Byrne and Juliette Binoche. Telling the story of the miners' 69-day ordeal, it is the project on which they have all fixed their hopes of financial salvation and a secure future.
Some have seen their dreams come true: Mr Sepulveda, perhaps the most famous of all, has set up his own company giving motivational speeches. Another, Daniel Herrera, married a German woman who fell in love with him through Facebook, after she followed the story and became mesmerised by his smile. Babies have been born, businesses bought, books written.
Others have found their exit from the cave to be the beginnings of a nightmare: divorces, psychiatric care and rows about money have followed.
The 33: Chile's trapped miners, five years on
"It really did bring it all back," said Mr Sepulveda, speaking to The Telegraph by phone from his home in Santiago, the Chilean capital. He still lives in the house he bought 13 years ago, with his wife Katty and children Scarlet, 23, and Francisco, 18.
"It made me remember the suffering of that time – in particular what our families went through."
The miners voted to sell their story as a group. They went to a law firm in Santiago, which contacted a New York talent agency, which in turn sold the book and film rights for $150m to a production company.
Nine of the 33 are suing their lawyers over the deal for the film rights, claiming they were only given a fraction of the sums they deserved. The rest, however, say they are content. The case is still being heard.
The resulting film stars Banderas as Mario, Gabriel Byrne as Andre Sougarret, the chief engineer, and Juliette Binoche as Maria Segovia – sister of one of the miners.
Nicknamed the "Queen of Camp Hope" – the tented city at the entrance to the collapsed mine shaft, where the families stayed to wait for news – she was one of the feistiest of rabble rousers, demanding the government rescue their men.
Why does Binoche think the film resonates?
"It's about faith," she said, talking to The Telegraph in a New York hotel, in the midst of a promotional whirlwind.
"It's about believing in the impossible. It's about finding solutions where there appear to be no solutions.
"It's about finding your own truth – Maria Segovia coming forward and speaking out about what she feels. And also because she's a survivor from her own childhood, because she was an orphan at six, selling empanadas in the street, and had no education or help in bringing up her siblings, got pregnant at 14 years old – I mean, she went through a lot of stuff.
"And so suddenly this situation was: I know all about surviving. It's about going forward, not letting things happen. Her will made a difference, to a certain point."
Much of the conflict is between Binoche's character and that of Rodrigo Santoro, the Brazilian Love Actually actor who plays Chile's mining minister, Laurence Golborne.
"I was very happy when I found out he was playing me – he's significantly younger," laughed Mr Golborne, 54, who ran for president after masterminding the miners' rescue. He now runs a consultancy business.
"But it was strange seeing the story up there on the big screen."
His government comes out well from the screenplay. The film lauds their dogged attempts to find the men, against all odds, and praises Chile's resilience.
"It was a team effort though," said Mr Golborne. "And I'm glad that came across.
"I didn't have any say in the film, of course – the miners wrote the book themselves. But I met Rodrigo and we talked about what I felt at different times. He wanted to interpret how I felt, rather than give a historically correct version of events."
The stories of most of the 33 miners are condensed and meshed together into a handful of representative characters: Yonni Barrios, whose wife and mistress both turned up at the mine shaft to stand by their man, represents the older miners, while Alex Vega represents the younger ones, about to become a father for the first time – even though it was actually another, Ariel Ticona, whose wife gave birth.
The producers stressed that the film, based on their collaborative book Deep Down Dark, was a dramatic interpretation rather than a historical documentary. And the miners The Telegraph spoke to seemed to accept that.
"Fortunately they understood early on that this is a movie; it's not a documentary," said Lou Diamond Phillips, who played the mine foreman Luis Urzua.
"That there has to be a structure in which to dramatise what happened to them – it can't tell every single detail. And they were cool with that.
"It was interesting as they were around set a lot. At first you could see them being a little dubious about it. But as the days went on, and the filming went on, they got used to the process of how we made movies, you could see them embracing it."
For Mr Sepulveda, the chance to spend time with the man who is arguably the Spanish-speaking world's biggest star was remarkable.
"He was very, very kind – very professional," said Mr Sepulveda, who still works as a builder, in addition to giving motivational talks. "We chatted – he told me about how he got in to acting, and asked me if my wife was very beautiful, so I told him she is the most wonderful woman in the world.
"He's a great guy. We laughed a lot.
"I'm more handsome than him, though" he said. "I look after myself more. And I'm more famous.
"Plus his accent is weird. He's super Spanish – all 'th th th'," he said, collapsing with laughter.
Back in New York, Banderas rolled his eyes.
"He's incredibly charismatic – and a little bit out of his mind," he said, fondly. The Spaniard wanted to play the Chilean miner because of his remarkable personality – worthy of a film on its own, he said.
"That was kind of frustrating for me –because the film is not called Mario Sepulveda, it's called The 33.
"And I thought: this is amazing. Amazing. He did unbelievable things. He was preparing speeches for the exit. He wanted to have a professor from the outside because he thought he would have to talk to Obama.
"But there were many, many stories that happened in there."
He added, with a twinkle: "Some of them that I would never tell."
Filming in the desert of Chile, and in a Colombian mine, was tough, said Banderas, 55. The cast and crew were underground, recreating the scenes when the men felt deep despair, or elation as they were found. Some of the 33 have returned to work in mines, but others have struggled with flashbacks and nightmares.
"It was difficult," he said, screwing up his face, shuddering. "It was not nice. It was not a glamorous set. It was cold and damp. Very toxic.
"We had this feeling in our mouth and lungs all the time. We had methane and grit and all that. No complaining. I think it's very good for the movie. You couldn't have done the movie in a studio – it would have looked totally different.
"It had to be there. And it was a good decision."
Mr Sepulveda said his fellow miners, the ones he spoke to, were delighted with the result.
What does Banderas hope that audiences take away? He paused, mulling over how to tell this story of triumph and tragedy in the Chilean desert.
"I think the most important thing," he said, "is that they think they are watching a strange weird poem about life."
And for the miners, they are hoping that the story will once again save them.

With skyrocketing traffic volume and escalating security threats, today's networks are expanding to employ sophisticated, pervasive monitoring techniques. As networks expand and new devices are added, IT administrators need a holistic view of the network to consolidate management, ease orchestration efforts, and eliminate blind spots. Introducing Ixia's Fabric Controller technology- a SDx (software defined everything) controller for device management. IFC is a highly available, resilient, and easy-to-use intelligent monitoring platform that works across physical and virtual network environments to provide visibility through a single pane of glass.
What You Get with IFC Centralized Manager
- Single Pane of Glass
- Discovery & Health
- Reliability
- Security
- Data Visualization
- Configuration & Events
Single Pane of Glass
Ixia Fabric Controller Centralized Manager (IFC Centralized Manager, previously Indigo Pro) eases your ability to configure and monitor the devices in your network whether they be taps, virtual taps, data monitoring switches, and network packet brokers from both Ixia and third-party vendors. At-a-glance dashboard views give you centralized control so that your visibility devices become fully orchestrated and coordinated monitoring resources accessible via a single platform.
IFC Centralized Manager enhancements include features such as:
- Intelligent topology display and navigation for a holistic view of your network.
- Single Sign On (SSO) capabilities to speed up login.
- Zero touch provisioning for behind-the-scenes configuration.
- IFC Cluster integration for detailed control of racks and nodes.
Auto-discovery & Health Monitoring
Deployment of IFC Centralized Manager is amazingly simple thanks to an automated discovery process that can quickly identify all supported Ixia Vision products, Ixia iTap/iBypass/xStream family of products, and third-party devices throughout the network. IFC Centralized Manager reduces your workload by continuously checking for devices being added, removed, or taken offline and updating your inventory as necessary. A dynamic network topology map instantly shows the "up" or "down" status of all supported devices, in addition to custom statuses based on active alarms (Minor, Major, Critical, SNMP error).
Within the dashboard, you can drill down to obtain detailed configuration information for each device and monitor the health of all attached links. Additionally, IFC Centralized Manager monitors traffic levels and quality across the network so that issues can be resolved quickly by pinpointing the location of the error.
IFC Centralized Manager offers a spectrum of new reliability and security features. The newly enhanced High Availability (HA) feature supports master and slave units in complete sync with one floating IP address; allowing instant takeover by the slave when the master fails. That way, your master configuration is saved and replicated on the slave units if an issue arises. The master and slave units can be either physical or virtual or a combination of both, enabling maximum deployment flexibility.
The IFC Centralized Manager platform delivers a total solution to all NMS (Network Monitoring System) security-related issues. All user actions are inspected, audited against a permissions profile, and logged to an audit trail for compliance and transparency.
The system's security is structured in four layers:
- External authentication via RADIUS and TACACS.
- Authenticated and encrypted sessions between the client web browsers and the server throughout a user's entire sessions.
- User authentication by a login session based on a username and password.
- Role-based access control and device locking ensures that a given user can perform certain actions on specific devices with read or write permissions.
Data Visualization
IFC Centralized Manager can aid your historical trend analysis and capacity planning by gathering data in real time from discovered devices. Data is archived in a database and presented in rich graphical formats through the web browser interface.
Enhanced capabilities of the data visualization feature includes more visibility and presentation options, with an increased number of charts or dashboards per user and customizable views of interest. Each user-specific dashboard is remembered upon login so that relevant data is shown immediately.
Traffic statistics displayed include bandwidth utilization, byte and packet counts, errors, and jumbo frames, all viewable on a device-by-device basis. In addition, a dashboard can be configured to confederate the data from multiple links and devices for an at-a-glance overview of network traffic activity.
Configuration & Events Management
IFC Centralized Manager supports a scheduler that allows automated task execution across many devices so that tasks do not have to be implemented manually on each device. Common management tasks include script and policy execution, software upgrades, configuration import and export, and many more. More sophisticated mechanisms are available to allow you to execute customer scripts when one or more general device-specific events take place in the entire managed network.
IFC Centralized Manager also features event collection, including a northbound interface that forwards alerts to third-party management consoles.
Centralized Management
Problem: More devices, more monitoring headaches
The more devices on a network, the harder it is to configure and manage an entire platform. Separately monitoring network controller switches, network packet brokers, physical and virtual network taps, and third-party devices places an enormous burden on IT, and can negatively impact a technology's return on investment. Today's organizations need a single management console to centrally monitor multiple devices and reduce administrative complexity.
Solution: An all-in-one platform for device discovery
Ixia's IFC Centralized Manager is a unified network management system for centrally monitoring and configuring multiple devices, including network controller switches, network packet brokers, and third-party devices. Rather than manage each device separately, the platform discovers, configures, and monitors all the visibility solutions deployed on a network.
The platform's standard interfaces allow for easy-to-understand configuration, statistics collection, and health monitoring. By automating processes such as software upgrades and configuration backups, Ixia's IFC Centralized Manager simplifies IT administrative tasks that would otherwise take days or weeks to complete. With its dramatic time and cost savings, IFC Centralized Manager offers both greater network availability and higher ROI.
Your dashboard, your way
IFC Centralized Manager lets you customize your dashboard the way you see fit. Each user can choose which views of interest to display on their dashboard. Personalized views are then saved and reloaded with the next login. You can add or remove widgets or change the layout with a simple click so that the most relevant data is always displayed on your dashboard.

The Five Shoes Every Woman Should Own
Jessica Joyner, like many women, once dreaded opening her closet to search for that perfect pair of shoes. It didn't matter if she was going to work, to a social engagement, or just to relax — choosing the right shoe from amidst a plethora of possibilities gave her a headache. That is, until she discovered the secret to shoe selection. If you want the skinny on her top five shoes every woman should own, read on.
Flats: comfort and versatility. "There's no easier way to dress down a dress, or class up a pair of jeans than by pairing them with cute flats," writes Joyner. "They are an excellent staple to have in any shoe closet."
Heels: confidence and femininity. In addition to looking great with a dress or skirt, Joyner says heels are perfect for dressing up jeans for a night out.
Boots: strength and style. Joyner recommends heels, flats, and wedges. "Heeled boots are perfect for the office, flats are great for running errands, and wedges are super comfy and look cool with just about any outfit," she says.
Wedges: warmth and flexibility. Joyner says wedges are the perfect "in-between" shoe: "They offer the height of heels but with the casual vibe of flats. And they're often more appropriate than heels since they can usually be worn with shorts and miniskirts without looking trashy."
[Insert your favorite shoe here]: pride and personality. Joyner goes out on a limb and says to wear the shoes that make you feel the most confident, comfortable, and sexy. How you look and how you feel are closely related — if you feel good, you'll look good.
And there you have it. Stock your closet with these shoes, and fret no more!

Angel food cake with dark chocolate ganache
Serves 12-14 | prep 25 mins | total time
Angel food cake with dark chocolate ganacheSubscribe to Sainsbury's magazine
Serves 12-14 | prep 25 mins | total time
Nutritional information (per serving)
For the cake
- 150g plain flour
- 2 tbsp cornflour
- 350g caster sugar
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
- 9 large egg whites
- 1 tsp cream of tartar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp almond extract
For the ganache
- 100g dark chocolate (50% cocoa solids)
- 150ml double cream
Step by step
Get ahead
The cake is best eaten fresh, but can be kept for up to 1 day. The cake can also be frozen.
- Preheat the oven to 160°C, fan 140°C, gas 3. Use a nonstick 2.5 litre bundt tin (we used one that was 24cm wide at the top).
- In a large bowl, sift the flour, cornflour, caster sugar and salt together. Repeat a further two times.
- In a separate large bowl, using an electric mixer, whisk the egg whites until stiff, then add the cream of tartar, vanilla extract and almond extract. Beat again briefly, until combined.
Tip If you don't want to be separating lots of eggs, you can buy liquid egg white from the dairy aisle. You'll need 350g egg whites for this recipe.
- Add the egg whites to the dry ingredients, and gently fold together. Once the mixture is just combined pour the mixture into the ungreased bundt tin. Bake for about 1 hour, until the cake is golden.
- Invert the cake onto a wire rack and allow to cool for about 1 hour, then run a knife around the inside of the pan to release the cake; unmould.
- To make the ganache, finely chop the chocolate and place into a small, heatproof bowl. Gently heat the cream in a small saucepan until it just comes to the boil, remove it from the heat and pour over the chopped chocolate. Leave for 30 seconds, then gently stir to combine. Once the ganache is smooth and has thickened – this will take about 15 minutes – pour it over the top of the cooled cake, letting it drip down the sides. Leave to set for at least 1 hour before serving
Watch this...

legal fiction
Also found in: Dictionary, Wikipedia.
Legal Fiction
An assumption that something occurred or someone or something exists which, in fact, is not the case, but that is made in the law to enable a court to equitably resolve a matter before it.
In order to do justice, the law will permit or create a legal fiction. For example, if a person undertakes a renunciation of a legacy which is a gift by will the person will be deemed to have predeceased the testator—one who makes a will—for the purpose of distributing the estate.
legal fiction
n. a presumption of fact assumed by a court for convenience, consistency, or to achieve justice. There is an old adage: "Fictions arise from the law, and not law from fictions."

By Cheri Roberts, Challenging the Rhetoric
Today NBC Nightly news' anchor Brian Williams admitted that the story he and the network have been telling for years … is a lie. Brian Williams was never on any helicopter in Iraq that was hit and forced down by RPG fire during 2—3's Iraqi invasion.
Crew members of the 159th Aviation Regiment's Chinook said Williams was never in nor anywhere near the event in question after Williams had once again repeated the claim last Friday during coverage of a live public tribute for a retired Soldier at a Rangers hockey game.
Shame on you NBC and Brian Williams. Liar liar pants on fire.

Dear singers and friends of singers--
Appalachian Chorale begins next week--please consider joining us and/or passing the news on. Our first rehearsal for Spring 2019 will be Monday, January 14, 7-9 pm in room 214 of the Broyhill Music Center. Rehearsals continue on Monday, January 28 (after a break for MLK Day) and each following Monday that classes are in session, until the concert on Tuesday, April 30.
The concert will feature Donald McCullough's Holocaust Cantata: Songs from the Camps (more info below). There are learning aids that are currently being created at the choralia website; the first movement is already available at http://www.choralia.net/mcc01mp3. If you would like to get a head start on it, a pdf score of that movement is here. This is in the App Chorale shared google folder, which will also have additional helpful materials as we continue: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0ByLGwC9Z27eoVU9idXdka0diZm8?usp=sharing.
According to the composer's website: "Based on research of original music sung by incarcerated inmates in Holocaust concentration camps, this 40-minute cantata is an emotional, musical journey through one of the bleakest episodes in human history. Working from translations of original Polish materials found in the archives of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. and starting with just a single line of melody, McCullough has fashioned a haunting choral tribute to the 6 million Jews who were systematically persecuted and murdered as well as to the millions of other individuals the Nazi Party classified as "undesirables," including Poles, Romanian gypsies, homosexuals, transsexuals, political opponents, religious dissidents, the mentally ill and the physically disabled. What emerges from the insanity of one of history's worst examples of man's inhumanity to man is a sense of music's life-affirming powers."
The work is in 13 movements that alternate between music and readings. The first movement of the piece can be heard here (other movements are also available):
The Chorale is a choir of 75-100 singers, open to all students, faculty, and members of the High Country community, with no audition required. Any interested singer who can carry his or her part in four-part harmony is encouraged to join. Students may receive credit (MUS 1109).
Keep in mind that new members join after being invited to a rehearsal by someone who was already in the Chorale--have you invited anyone lately?
Last semester we had a chamber ensemble (selected by audition) that met for 30-minute rehearsals Monday evenings after App Chorale rehearsals. I am hoping to have a similar group this term. Please let me know if you're interested.
Thanks to all, and let me know if you have questions!

Cuartero Micromaya Play It Say It
Cuartero Micromaya Play It Say It
Play It Say It look to Malaga born DJ and producer Cuartero for their next serving of dance floor dynamite.
Cuartero long broke out of the confines of his small home island, and is now a well recognised name on the global dance scene. He's as likely to be headlining in Ibiza as he is playing somewhere in Chile or returning to regular festivals like BPM. He's released his music on key contemporary tech house labels like Hot Creations, ViVa Music and Moon Harbour as well as his own CUARTEROCONCEPT, and it is fresh, forward looking stuff that breaks from the usual confines of the genre.
He kicks off here with the brilliantly busy and bristling 'Micromaya,' a turbo-charged tech cut with driving drums and chopped up vocal samples. It's full of energy and cannot fail to blow up the floor. The equally high tempo 'Pa Chu' then hits hard with big rubbery kicks, vocals that pan around the mix in disorientating fashion and techno leaning percussion. It's pure, high grade dancing music, make no mistake.
The goodness continues on 'Aire Libre', which has more slick studio techniques chopping up vocals and deft little samples into an ever evolving patchwork of sounds that keep you on your toes. Spinning hi hats and choppy chords are brilliantly restless and impossible to resist. Last of all, the excellent 'Part of the Beautiful' is more spaced out, with lush chords bring a dreamy feel as the drums race along and sci-fi sounds peel off the high speed grooves.
This is first class, inventive house music squarely aimed at the dance floor.
