BEIJING, May 23 (Xinhua) -- A company advisor to Chinese telecommunications equipment giant Huawei denied accusations that the company has received government subsidies or dumped products in EU countries.
"Huawei's products may have a price advantage, but it was gained via technological innovation, rather than through subsidies or dumping," company advisor Tian Tao was quoted as saying in Thursday's 21st Century Economic Report.
Huawei's rejection of EU charges came after the EU proposed opening an anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigation into mobile telecommunications equipment from China last week.
The move is believed to be aimed at Huawei and ZTE, China's two biggest telecoms system and equipment producers.
"The cost advantage gained through technological innovation has brought Huawei bigger profits," Tian said.
Huawei CEO Ren Zhengfei said previously that the company's technological breakthroughs have allowed them to cut costs by up to 50 percent in some cases.
Huawei has a heavy presence in Europe, including 13 research centers set up in the continent. Last September, Ren announced a 2-billion-U.S. dollar investment plan to expand Huawei's operations in Britain.
Tian said Huawei will take a moderate and constructive attitude toward the EU proposals, as the European market is more important than the U.S. market in Huawei's global strategy, according to the newspaper.
Huawei has attached great importance to the European market, where telecom giants like Ericsson, Alcatel-Lucent and Nokia are based.
Ren once said that Huawei will make it clear to competitors that the company is "not jeopardizing, but safeguarding rules."
Tian welcomed competition from European rivals in China's market, saying competition will encourage Chinese service providers to come up with high-quality, low-cost systems
He said cooperation with EU companies will facilitate Chinese exports of 4G products to the North American and European markets, adding that the participation of European companies in China's LTE-TDD network construction will help the standard go global.
LTE-TDD, or Long Term Evolution-Time Division Duplex, is one of two key types of 4G LTE technology. China is a major promoter of the LTE-TDD standard and owns many of the standard's core patents.
Recent reports indicate that the EU's planned anti-dumping and anti-subsidy probe is not backed by European telecom giants. Ericsson, Alcatel-Lucent and Nokia have voiced opposition to investigations targeting Chinese companies. Last October, related probes were postponed due to the absence of the plaintiff.
Lyu Benfu, a professor from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said the telecom sector has been a bright spot of the EU economy amid its continued economic slump.
If the EU's moves lead to the closure of the Chinese market, that will affect the interests of EU telecom companies, Lyu said.
European companies currently occupy 50 percent of China's telecom market, while Huawei and ZTE only account for 20 percent of the market share in the eurozone, according to figures from Huawei.
"Both sides should open the market, rather than create barriers," Lyu said.

Nokia is preparing to release two new smartphones this year.
Nokia which had a non-competent deal with Microsoft had earlier announced its plan to license its brand name and start selling smartphones.
Nokia’s smartphones are to be manufactured by HMD Global, which now holds license to sell Nokia branded smartphones for the next 10 years. This leak hints at those plans coming through.
Nokia executive Mike Wang, president of the joint management team in China, has confirmed that 3 or perhaps 4 new Nokia-branded Android devices are set to be unveiled in the fourth quarter of 2016. These devices will be split between new smartphone and tablet launches.
The company expects to make an announcement or two before the end of 2016, the actual launch could be pushed back into early 2017, depending on testing and development.
The two phones are expected to be flagship devices with Nokia’s trademark design languageaccording to rumours. A leaked photo hints at comeback of polycarbonate shells with bolder design and expressive patterns.
The two mobiles which have leaked are likely to feature a 5.2-inch and 5.5-inch displays. The report says both the devices will sport OLED display with Quad HD resolution.
The report also suggests that Nokia smartphones will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 chipset and will be running Z-Launcher UI based on Android Nougat. With Android N final launch likely to happen in October, its likely that Nokia phones will debut only after Nexus launch.
With Qualcomm having announced Snapdragon 821, an updated version of 820, there is a good chance of Nokia phones getting the latest processor once it debuts. As one would expect from a Nokia device, the smartphone is reported to feature a 22.6MP primary camera.
The smartphones are likely to come with IP68 certification. Read all about
Along with high-end smartphones, HMD is expected to unveil two new Nokia feature phones in the next 6 months. Clearly Nokia is working to get itself back into the smartphone game, but are you excited to see what the company has to offer after all this time?

In the U.S., we have been called veterinary technicians since the early ’80s, but there is now a push to call us veterinary “nurses” as they do in other countries, including the United Kingdom.
I think we should stick with “veterinary technician.”
To change things and to start calling us “nurses” now would definitely be a difficult task and cause a lot of disruption in our profession, as well as confuse us with human nurses (who, as I understand it, have a trademark on the word “nurse”).
To me, the bigger point is not about what we call ourselves, but how we represent ourselves. It is about education—educating the general public about who we are and the veterinary community about our expertise and passion.
Let’s compare veterinary technicians to other similar professions. Are we similar to teachers, nurses, dietitians, dental hygienists, or counselors?
The answer, of course, is that we are a combination of all of the above. Think about all the different aspects of our jobs. We wear so many hats every day—one minute we could be the radiology tech, then the pharmacy tech, then the surgery tech, then the dental hygienist. In the examination room, we take care of much more than a patient. Yes, we are the patient advocate and caregiver, but we are also the client educator, the communicator, counselor, and advocate. We do so much more than taking histories, keeping records, giving injections, and taking blood. We are usually with the client and the patient from the time they arrive at the practice until they leave.
Plus, how many species do we learn about, know about, and work with? Those with paws, wings, hooves, flippers, and no feet at all—not just two-legged animals.
What do nurses do in their day and whom do they work on? With their limited responsibilities and only one kind of patient—hmm, for me, it’s an easy choice which I would prefer to be.
Back to my bigger point. As the veterinary technician profession grows and veterinarians come to rely on us more and more, the world is at our fingertips. We are the heart of the veterinary team and the keeper of the human–animal bond. It is our job to ensure everyone knows that, and to fight for recognition and our reputation. It is also our responsibility to improve ourselves every day, wh | positive |
Anxiety disorders are the most prevalent of all brain disorders, and yet there’s been little progress in drug treatments for anxiety in more than 50 years. Now, researchers reporting in the Cell Press journal Current Biology on March 24 suggest that studies in flies might help to elucidate fundamental mechanisms underlying anxiety and point the way to new anti-anxiety treatments.
“Anxiety research in rodents has been frustrated by the small sample sizes typically used in experiments and the complexity of the mammalian brain,” says Adam Claridge-Chang of Duke-NUS Medical School in Singapore. “Many scientists in the rodent anxiety field would agree that this drug development failure does not imply a ‘failure to translate,’ but rather an inadequate understanding of the basic neurogenetic mechanisms of anxiety.
“Using flies lends the advantages of a smaller animal brain, more sophisticated genetic tools, and greatly larger sample sizes. Evolutionary conservation of function between animal species means findings in fly could eventually be translated into rodent anxiety research.”
Farhan Mohammad, the study’s first author, got the idea to study anxiety in flies after noticing that the insects follow walls when in an enclosed chamber. He knew that rodents in that situation do essentially the same thing.
“Wall-following behavior in rodents has long been linked to anxiety, so I hypothesized that fly wall-following was also related to anxiety,” Mohammad says.
As evidence that the behavior the flies were showing was related to anxiety, the researchers found that flies followed the walls less closely when they were treated with Valium, a classic anti-anxiety medication. Genetic manipulation of serotonin-related genes also influenced anxiety-like behaviors in a manner similar to what has been reported earlier in mice.
Finally, Mohammad and Claridge-Chang showed that flies began to follow walls more when they were put under heat stress. The flies’ apparent anxiety also increased as a result of 10 days in solitary confinement, away from other flies. These effects were linked to changes in an important stress hormone receptor. The researchers also identified several new genes related to anxiety behavior in flies.
The findings reveal that anxiety is an emotion with evolutionarily ancient genetic and neuronal pathways, the researchers say.
“Our discovery confirms a very old natural history for the mechanisms underlying this self-preservation emotion, at least to the last common ancestor of flies and humans,” says Claridge-Chang, noting that this ancestral species swam in the oceans around 700 million years ago.
Genetic experiments in the fruit fly Drosophila have already elucidated the neuronal and molecular basis of circadian rhythms, sleep, animal courtship, pain, hunger, aggression and many other behaviors. The researchers say they now believe that flies can do the same for anxiety.
One of the outstanding puzzles in psychiatric research is that even though it’s clear that serotonin plays a role in anxiety, widely prescribed serotonin-related drugs like Prozac show little efficacy on emotional disorders. They hope to gain new insight into this “serotonin paradox” by studying the role of this neurotransmitter in fly anxiety. | positive |

Hulu’s Virtual Reality App will allows viewers to watch ‘Seinfeld’ reruns from Jerry’s living room. (Photo : YouTube )
Hulu is preparing to release its virtual reality app in November, letting viewers watch "Seinfeld" episode reruns and other contents as though they were inside the TV show itself.
Talking to CNET, Hulu's CEO Tim Connolly said that the currently on-demand TV and film experience on Hulu is almost getting upgraded with the launch of its VR app next month. this comes just in time for the launch of the upcoming Samsung Gear VR in November.

Connolly said, "We're ready to go. We think this is a smart bet that helps position us as an innovator and helps us learn earlier on what could be a substantive storytelling environment."
News concerning Hulu moving into VR first came in September when the company announced through its official website in a press release that the app will incorporate support for "original virtual reality short-form" content and "unique viewing environments" meant particularly for VR gadgets.
The company is already collecting content that fans can watch on the VR app. For Hulu's first VR-exclusive original movie, the company collaborated with Lionsgate to produce Freddie Wong's "The Big One," a short movie that will be launched alongside "RocketJump: The Show" original series.
Set in an apocalyptic future, the film features a meteor shower that eventually portents the end of the world in the same way viewers understand.
In addition to Hulu's VR-only content, the company is also getting ready to port its current catalog of 2D-only original and licensed content into VR. In the near future, viewers may watch reruns of "Seinfeld" as if they were seated on the iconic couch in Jerry's living room or view Hulu's "Difficult People" while in a virtual classic movie theater.
The company's VR app will be available for the second Gear VR Samsung created in conjunction with Oculus VR. While the premium Oculus Rift may be sold expensively, the Gear VR will go for $99 at launch, making it more accessible to mainstream consumers.
The Gear VR will require the user to have Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6 Edge+, Galaxy S6 Edge, and Galaxy S6 for the screen.

There are two sealed boxes up for auction, box A and box B. One and only one of these boxes contains a valuable diamond. There are all manner of signs and portents indicating whether a box contains a diamond; but I have no sign which I know to be perfectly reliable. There is a blue stamp on one box, for example, and I know that boxes which contain diamonds are more likely than empty boxes to show a blue stamp. Or one box has a shiny surface, and I have a suspicion—I am not sure—that no diamond-containing box is ever shiny.
Now suppose there is a clever arguer, holding a sheet of paper, and they say to the owners of box A and box B: “Bid for my services, and whoever wins my services, I shall argue that their box contains the diamond, so that the box will receive a higher price.” So the box-owners bid, and box B’s owner bids higher, winning the services of the clever arguer.
The clever arguer begins to organize their thoughts. First, they write, “And therefore, box B contains the diamond!” at the bottom of their sheet of paper. Then, at the top of the paper, the clever arguer writes, “Box B shows a blue stamp,” and beneath it, “Box A is shiny,” and then, “Box B is lighter than box A,” and so on through many signs and portents; yet the clever arguer neglects all those signs which might argue in favor of box A. And then the clever arguer comes to me and recites from their sheet of paper: “Box B shows a blue stamp, and box A is shiny,” and so on, until they reach: “and therefore, box B contains the diamond.”
But consider: At the moment when the clever arguer wrote down their conclusion, at the moment they put ink on their sheet of paper, the evidential entanglement of that physical ink with the physical boxes became fixed.
It may help to visualize a collection of worlds—Everett branches or Tegmark duplicates—within which there is some objective frequency at which box A or box B contains a diamond.1
The ink on paper is formed into odd shapes and curves, which look like this text: “And therefore, box B contains the diamond.” If you happened to be a literate English speaker, you might become confused, and think that this shaped ink somehow meant that box B contained the diamond. Subjects instructed to say the color of printed pictures and shown the word Green in red ink often say “green” instead of “red.” It helps to be illiterate, so that you are not confused by the shape of the ink.
To us, the true import of a thing is its entanglement with other things. Consider again the collection of worlds, Everett branches or Tegmark duplicates. At the moment when all clever arguers in all worlds put ink to the bottom line of their paper—let us suppose this is a single moment—it fixed the correlation of the ink with the boxes. The clever arguer writes in non-erasable pen; the ink will not change. The boxes will not change. Within the subset of worlds where the ink says “And therefore, box B contains the diamond,” there is already some fixed percentage of worlds where box A contains the diamond. This will not change regardless of what is written in on the blank lines above.
So the evidential entanglement of the ink is fixed, and I leave to you to decide what it might be. Perhaps box owners who believe a better case can be made for them are more liable to hire advertisers; perhaps box owners who fear their own deficiencies bid higher. If the box owners do not themselves understand the signs and portents, then the ink will be completely unentangled with the boxes’ contents, though it may tell you something about the owners’ finances and bidding habits.
Now suppose another person present is genuinely curious, and they first write down all the distinguishing signs of both boxes on a sheet of paper, and then apply their knowledge and the laws of probability and write down at the bottom: “Therefore, I estimate an 85% probability that box B contains the diamond.” Of what is this handwriting evidence? Examining the chain of cause and effect leading to this physical ink on physical paper, I find that the chain of causality wends its way through all the signs and portents of the boxes, and is dependent on these signs; for in worlds with different portents, a different probability is written at the bottom.
So the handwriting of the curious inquirer is entangled with the signs and portents and the contents of the boxes, whereas the handwriting of the clever arguer is evidence only of which owner paid the higher bid. There is a great difference in the indications of ink, though one who foolishly read aloud the ink-shapes might think the English words sounded similar.
Your effectiveness as a rationalist is determined by whichever algorithm actually writes the bottom line of your thoughts. If your car makes metallic squealing noises when you brake, and you aren’t willing to face up to the financial cost of getting your brakes replaced, you can decide to look for reasons why your car might not need fixing. But the actual percentage of you that survive in Everett branches or Tegmark worlds—which we will take to describe your effectiveness as a rationalist—is determined by the algorithm that decided which conclusion you would seek arguments for. In this case, the real algorithm is “Never repair anything expensive.” If this is a good algorithm, fine; if this is a bad algorithm, oh well. The arguments you write afterward, above the bottom line, will not change anything either way.
This is intended as a caution for your own thinking, not a Fully General Counterargument against conclusions you don’t like. For it is indeed a clever argument to say “My opponent is a clever arguer,” if you are paying yourself to retain whatever beliefs you had at the start. The world’s cleverest arguer may point out that the Sun is shining, and yet it is still probably daytime. | positive |

Organic Valley, the nation's largest cooperative of organic farmers and a leading organic brand, announced at its regional office in Portland today the addition of an Aroostook County organic dairy farm to its lineup of Maine suppliers, bringing its state total to 33 farms.
"That 33 is just a beginning," said Steve Getz, coordinator of Organic Valley's New England dairy pool. "Maine is a big state for organic dairy farms. We see a lot of potential here."
Getz said the recent addition of Chase's Organic Dairy in Mapleton, located near Presque Isle in Aroostook County, enabled Organic Valley to add a third truck to its fleet of milk tankers in Maine. Doing so, he said, creates an opportunity to add milk volume from additional organic dairy farmers and help defray shipping and hauling costs to Stonyfield Farm's processing plant in New Hampshire.
"Organic Valley has the energy and resources to really expand the dairy market for us," said Vaughn Chase, who owns and operates with his wife, Laura, the 100-cow dairy farm in Mapleton. Their first delivery of organic milk via the Organic Valley tanker took place on July 2.
"It's a stable market," Chase added. "It's a paycheck you can count on week after week."
Jeff Bragg, an eighth-generation dairy farmer in Sidney, said his Rainbow Valley Farms has supplied milk to Organic Valley for 10 years after making the switch from conventional non-organic dairy farming in 2003. "It's a grassroots cooperative," he said, noting that his involvement in Organic Valley's cooperative has given him the opportunity to network with other organic dairy farmers both regionally and nationwide.
Despite the recent disbanding of Maine's Own Organic Milk, the 12-farmer company better known as MOO Milk that was founded in 2009, Getz is bullish about the potential for organic dairy farming in Maine, identifying Aroostook County and central Maine as two regions where a lot of interest is being shown in transitioning to organic dairy operations. The expansion into Aroostook County, which required a 25-cents-per-hundredweight premium payment to cover the extra hauling costs, was strongly endorsed by Organic Valley's 30 member farmers and its farmer-led board of directors, he said.
"This means our Maine farmers are going to reach into their own pockets as an investment in opening up the market in Aroostook County," Getz said.
"It's a very forward-looking approach,'" added Bragg. "The more we can strengthen the Maine organic milk pool, it's better for all of us."
"The organic market has legs," Getz said, noting that nationally, sales for the cooperative's array of organic food products increased from $857 million in 2012 to $928 million in 2013, for over 8% growth.
Dairy products were the largest category of the growing $29 billion organic food sector, according to the Organic Trade Association's 2013 Organic Industry Survey. Organic milk and cream sales were worth $2.6 billion, the survey found. Sales of whole, organic milk were up 10% in 2013, making it the fastest-growing category of milk. | positive |

LEESBURG, VA — Several downtown Leesburg residents found bags of candy along with images and literature representing the Klu Klux Klan on their doorsteps Sunday morning, according to multiple reports. Leesburg Police said they received complaints from several people, but inasmuch that there were no threatening messages in the bags, they were protected by free speech.
According to WTOP, the bags contained candy as well as three sheets of paper with cartoons and propaganda. On the cartoon were the words "Attention White America! We are nearing the end of the line," as well as "white extinction." The literature railed against blacks, Jews and liberals.
Leesburg Police spokesman Sam Shenouda said the bags appeared to be a KKK recruitment effort, and that he notified federal authorities as an FYI. But as he told Loudoun Now, "It's not illegal to do that."
Several similar incidents have happened across the country, include one last spring in Texas, where recruiting flyers for the Klan were disguised in a bag of candy and distributed to 17 homes in Texas City. Tucked inside the plastic bags of candy was a message written in bold black letters from the Loyal White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan that read: "Help save our race! Join the best or die like the rest" and "Say No To Cultural Genocide."
Watch Now: KKK Propaganda In Bags Of Candy Greets Leesburg Residents
In August 2016, Gary Monker, who said he is the Exalted Cyclops, or chief officer, in New York of the Loyal White Knights of the KKK, told Patch that many people have misconceptions about the organization.
"We're the only organization right now standing up for whites, upholding the second amendment of the Constitution," he said. "We are not a hate group. We are Christian and we're trying to restore America back to what it used to be."
The Klan, though, has long been recognized as one of the most vile hate groups in the United States, judged so by, among others, The Southern Poverty Law Center.

Nevada regulators deny requests to pause rooftop solar rate hike
Framed by a string of public comments from solar customers, employees and activists, the Nevada Public Utilities Commission denied petitions Wednesday to halt increases to rooftop solar bills, ensuring that the rates remain in effect as the commission considers appeals.
Before the vote, commissioners heard hours of public comment from activists, some of whom lined up to speak an hour before the morning meeting. Lines to speak in Las Vegas snaked outside of the office building that houses the commission here and into the parking lot.
They held sings like “Don’t Be Shady, NV Energy” and “Keep Calm And Go Solar.”
In December, the commission approved rates for solar customers that increased a fixed fee for solar users and reduced the value of credits customers can earn for generating excess electricity. It also lowered the base electricity rate that solar customers pay, commissioners clarified today. The rates applied to all customers, even early adopters of rooftop solar.
Solar companies argued that such changes could cripple its business model and two companies — SolarCity and Sunrun — announced hundreds of layoffs last week, as they pulled their sales and installations teams from the state, following the rate decision.
At today’s meeting, the three-member commission considered several filings asking that they halt the rates until they had heard all requests to reconsider or clarify the order. Several parties are in the process of challenging the rates that were implemented on Jan. 1.
Commissioners decided against delaying the rates because the parties had not satisfied their burden to prove such a motion met several criteria, including that there was an irreparable harm to solar customers, good cause for a stay or that a stay was in the public’s interest.
“The motions to stay fail to establish any factors that would support staying the commission’s final order or the tariffs filed therein,” the commission wrote in the order denying the stays.
Before Jan. 1, solar customers paid a fixed fee of $12.75. Under the revised rates, solar customers will pay a service charge of $17.90, a fee that will gradually rise to $38.51 by 2020. NV Energy had also reimbursed solar customers about 11 cents for per kilowatt-hour of excess energy they generated, under a policy known as net metering. The value of those credits fell to about 9 cents in January and will bottom out at 2.6 cents by 2020.
The rates are part of a larger philosophical debate, one taking place not only in Nevada but in states around the country, about how to integrate rooftop solar customers, who do not purchase as much energy from the grid and avoid paying some of the fixed costs wrapped into electricity rates. NV Energy and the commission have argued that the new rates are necessary to ensure that solar customers are not shifting costs to other ratepayers.
The Bureau of Consumer Protection, which represents all ratepayers in these matters, is arguing for a more moderate approach, saying cost shifts are often involved in utility regulation.
Activists argue those cost shifts are false and that the commission is not considering the benefits of solar for all ratepayers when one factors in the environment, a reduction of strain on the grid, and the decreased need for NV Energy to invest in costly infrastructure projects.
Solar advocates believe that, with reduced incentives, solar will not be economically advantageous for customers. In about five hours of public comments, solar customers and employees, some who had recently lost their jobs in the layoffs, excoriated the new rates.
Some felt betrayed because the revised rates do not grandfather customers, changing rates on some of the earliest adopters. Many solar activists called this a “bait-and-switch.”
“You just stole $48,000 from me with this decision,” said James Dale Collier, a Henderson resident who paid that amount to purchase solar panels outright more than four years ago.
Collier said he is now paying more than before and believes the decision, which lowers the value of credits for excess energy generated, no longer guarantees a return on investment.
SolarCity customer Jonas Woolverton said the decision could have ramifications on the value of homes. He said buyers might no longer see his solar panels as a benefit.
“If I do sell my house, now it’s all up in the air,” he said.
Others expressed anger, confusion and frustration with the commission.
Teddy Stanowski, a Sunrun employee who was laid off and has panels, said the decision was an anti-competitive measure that went against capitalism, ingenuity and the people. He also pushed back against the commission's claim that the rates would not cause irreparable harm.
He noted that his job loss is evidence of the decision’s effect.
“I am the evidence,” Stanowski said. “We are the evidence.”
NV Energy said in a statement it will not make a profit off the rates.
Like Stanowski, some have argued solar could be a threat to utilities like NV Energy. In a recent filing, the Bureau of Consumer Protection wrote “the (bureau) is sure the commission realizes that the debate over rooftop solar — not only in Nevada, but in other states — is not solely just about unreasonable cost shifts, but it is a product of the utilities recognizing there is a potential competitive threat to their business model from rooftop solar.”
The meeting Wednesday drew several activists from out of state, including actor Mark Ruffalo and Tea Party organizer Debbie Dooley. In his public comments, Ruffalo called the commissioners “anti-Robin Hood” for largely adopting NV Energy’s proposed rate structure.
“The actions you are taking today are taking from the mouths of the people and giving it to a single monopoly utility,” he said. "You are taking from the people and giving to the rich.”
Politicians also weighed in. Sen. Bernie Sanders’ campaign for the Democratic nomination released a statement Wednesday in support of the solar activists at the commission meeting.
“It does not make sense that the second sunniest state in the nation is now walking away from solar energy,” Joan Kato, Sanders’ state director said in a statement.
In a letter responding to a constituent last week, Nevada Rep. Joe Heck said, “There should be a grandfather clause that protects the rates of existing residential solar users.”
NV Energy estimates it has about 17,000 net-metering customers.
On several occasions, commenters criticized Warren Buffett, whose Berkshire Hathaway owns NV Energy. They also tacked blame on Gov. Brian Sandoval, who has said he is supportive of the solar industry but that he would not intervene in the commission’s ruling. He has said he would not interfere it is a quasi-judicial panel and to do so would be inappropriate.
When the official proceedings started around 4 p.m., Chairman Paul Thomson called some rhetoric hyperbolic and noted that the commission has been studying the issue for years.
“This commission has been working tirelessly, not to penalize people or to favor one technology over the other, but to create a path forward for rooftop solar in this state that treats all ratepayers fairly,” Thomson said. “That’s what we are trying to do.”
Commissioner David Noble, who wrote the order and is the presiding officer in the case, clarified several issues, noting that base energy rates for solar customers are now actually lower than they are for other ratepayers. He added that the ruling only applies to small commercial and residential rooftop customers, rather than larger customers like schools. He said NV Energy could not turn a profit from the new rates and if they did, it would trigger a regulatory mechanism that would reimburse those profits to NV Energy ratepayers.
In the coming weeks, the commission will consider requests to reconsider the rates. | positive |

Colic is a widespread condition affecting up to 20% of infants.1 The exact cause of colic is uncertain, latest evidence suggests that it is multifactorial and could involve one or several digestive or behavioural problems.2,3 Symptoms of colic usually resolve in most infants by 4 to 5 months of age. Rome IV criteria for the diagnosis of colic:4 For clinical purposes, must include all of the following: An infant who is <5 months of age when the symptoms start and stop Recurrent and prolonged periods of infant crying, fussing, or irritability reported by caregivers that occur without obvious cause and cannot be prevented or resolved by caregivers No evidence of infant failure to thrive, fever, or illness For clinical research purposes, a diagnosis of infant colic must meet the preceding diagnostic criteria and also include both of the following: Caregiver reports infant has cried or fussed for 3 or more hours per day during 3 or more days in 7 days in a telephone or face-to-face screening interview with a researcher or clinician Total 24-hour crying plus fussing in the selected group of infants is confirmed to be 3 hours or more when measured by at least one prospectively kept, 24-hour behaviour diary Practical tips for managing colic5-7 Parental support: parents of a baby suffering from colic need support. They will most likely be anxious and so need reassurance that colic is a common infant feeding problem and most infants will outgrow the problem by 4 to 5 months of age. Prevent the infant from swallowing excess air by sitting them upright during a feed. If breastfeeding this may involve the mother trying a different breastfeeding position. Wind the infant during and after a feed as necessary. Infants like movement, so pushing them around in their pram or pushchair, or going for a drive, can be comforting. Background noise or ‘White noise’ such as the sound of a washing machine or vacuum cleaner may be soothing for an infant. Gentle stomach, or back rubs, or a warm bath, may also help to relieve colic. If the infant is being breastfed, consider talking to mum about her diet. Some small changes may help to alleviate colicky symptoms. Advise the mother to avoid drinking too much tea, coffee, and other drinks and foods that contain caffeine and see if symptoms improve. Breastfeeding mums should be encouraged to continue breastfeeding. Formula-fed infants presenting with symptoms of colic may benefit from a formula specially formulated for the dietary management of colic. Medical treatments (simeticone or lactase drops) should only be tried if parents feel unable to cope despite advice and reassurance. NICE recognises that studies of interventions for infantile colic behind simeticone and lactase drops tend to lack methodological quality, making it difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of any treatment.

Singh, Nehal Aryaan, Ruhul Amin Shikder, Bryan W. Byles, Ekaterina Pomerantseva, Arunkumar Subramanian Floating electrode dielectrophoresis (FE-DEP) presents a promising avenue for scalable assembly of nanowire (NW) arrays on silicon chips and offers better control in limiting the number of deposited NWs when compared with the conventional, two-electrode DEP process. This article presents a 3D nanoelectrokinetic model, which calculates the imposed electric field and its resultant NW force/velocity maps within the region of influence of an electrode array operating in the FE-DEP configuration. This enables the calculation of NW trajectories and their eventual localization sites on the target electrodes as a function of parameters such as NW starting position, NW size, the applied electric field, suspension concentration, and deposition time. The accuracy of this model has been established through a direct quantitative comparison with the assembly of manganese dioxide NW arrays. Further analysis of the computed data reveals interesting insights into the following aspects: (a) asymmetry in NW localization at electrode sites, and (b) the workspace regions from which NWs are drawn to assemble such that their center-of-mass is located either in the inter-electrode gap region (desired) or on top of one of the assembly electrodes (undesired). This analysis is leveraged to outline a strategy, which involves a physical confinement of the NW suspension within lithographically patterned reservoirs during assembly, for single NW deposition across large arrays with high estimated assembly yields on the order of 87%.

Donald Trump’s victory wasn’t written in the stars. He didn't even win a plurality, much less a majority, of the national popular vote. With relatively small changes in big states – 73,000 votes in Pennsylvania, 27,000 in Wisconsin, 12,000 in Michigan – Hillary Clinton, not Trump, would have been the 45th U.S. president.
When you lose one of the closest presidential elections in U.S. history, as Clinton did Tuesday, many factors align themselves to produce the result. Here are 31, many of them overlapping and reinforcing.
1. Trump Never Held Elective Office. His lack of experience was cited by many people as evidence the Republican nominee was unqualified. For millions of Americans who are disgusted with politics as usual, this was a point in his favor. Even before widespread disdain for Washington set in, the electorate has periodically been enthralled with the idea that an executive from the private sector could show Washington a thing or two. Now the experiment begins.
2. He Wasn’t Really a Republican. Since 1999, Trump had been a registered Democrat, Independent, Reform Party member, and finally, a Republican. Although this offended the GOP establishment, which viewed him as an opportunist, it helped Trump with independent-minded voters contemptuous of the reigning Democrat-Republican duopoly. Former Ohio congressman and Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich put it this way: “This was a rejection of the Democratic establishment, the Republican establishment, the media establishment, and the financial establishment.”
3. The Mike Pence Pick. Having decided to run as a Republican, however, Trump needed the party’s social conservatives to rally to his side. Choosing Indiana’s governor, a devout Christian who describes himself as an “evangelical Catholic,” bridged the cultural gap between Trump and the party’s religious base.
4. Supreme Court. With one judicial vacancy pending and others likely in the future, one-fifth of the electorate told exit pollsters that the court was a major factor in their vote. Trump won these voters, 57 percent to 40 percent, suggesting that his vow to appoint strict constitutionalists sealed the deal with many conservatives.
5. A “Movement, Not a Campaign.” Trump used that phrase in his victory speech in the wee morning hours Wednesday. What’s happening certainly is bigger than one man. His victory, like the Brexit vote in the U.K., signifies a global revolt of the grassroots against the elites.
6. Re-imagining the Electoral Map. Political experts insisted that it was folly for Trump and his team to believe Michigan and Wisconsin were within their grasp. Pennsylvania was also said to be fool’s gold for Republicans every four years. Trump’s team ignored them—and struck a rich vein across the Rust Belt.
7. Working-Class Whites. “Donald Trump heard a voice no one else heard” is how House Speaker Paul Ryan put it Wednesday. But the alienation of these voters shouldn’t have been a mystery. Between 2007 and 2014, the median incomes of white males without college degrees fell by 14 percent. Trump carried them by nearly 40 points Tuesday.
8. Free Trade. Ross Perot warned of “a giant sucking sound” of jobs leaving the U.S. for Mexico if the North American Free Trade Agreement was passed. Bill Clinton, Al Gore, George H.W. Bush, Ivy League economists, and most of the media scoffed at Perot. But Bernie Sanders didn’t sound much different than Trump on trade on the 2016 campaign trail and Hillary Clinton reversed field on both NAFTA and the pending Trans-Pacific Partnership. In the general election, working-class Americans flocked to a candidate who blamed the Clintons for NAFTA, which Trump repeatedly called “the single worst trade deal ever.”
9. Corporate Greed. In February, a U.S. conglomerate called United Technologies abruptly announced it was closing two Indiana manufacturing plants in its Carrier division and moving them to Mexico. Both factories were profitable, but Carrier can pay workers far less south of the border and import the products at no charge, thanks to NAFTA. United Technologies, which reaps billions from government contracts, recently gave its departing CEO a $184 million severance package. “The greed of United Technologies is unbelievable,” said Sanders. “You really can’t make this stuff up.” Sanders and Trump campaigned hard on that theme, and both won the Indiana primary. Trump carried the state Tuesday by nearly 20 points, only eight years after Barack Obama won it.
10. Trump’s Billions: He’s an unlikely populist champion, this born-to-wealth billionaire who flaunts his riches. But while the media and the Democrats were appalled by Trump’s refusal to release his tax returns, Trump voters focused on something else: His assertion that he was too rich to be bribed.
11. Trump’s Mouth. From the beginning of his campaign – he called Mexican immigrants “rapists” in his announcement speech – Trump’s insensitive comments and racist asides horrified elites, journalists, Democrats, African-Americans, Latinos, Muslims, and others. Trump’s supporters chose to view it another way: They said his lack of a filter showed that Trump was genuine – and has the guts to say what others won’t.
12. Political Correctness. If some voters were rationalizing away his crudeness, the flip side was that he was a walking rebuke to oddball campus speech codes and customs, as evidenced by the Yale professor who excused his students from their midterms in the wake of Trump’s victory. “Nobody votes for Trump or likes Trump on the basis of policy positions,” says alt-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos. “That’s a misunderstanding of what the Trump phenomenon is.” Trump is "an icon of irreverent resistance to political correctness.”
13. Hillary’s “Deplorables.” In describing Americans supporting such a brute, Clinton went off-script one day and said that half of them were a “basket of deplorables”– racists, she meant. Clinton backtracked quickly, but “Deplorables” T-shirts were already being proudly worn by aggrieved Trumpers. It was Clinton’s version of Mitt Romney’s “47 percent” remark – the 47 percent of Americans who would vote for Obama because they “are dependent on government, who believe they are victims.”
14. The Real Deplorables. So how much of Trump’s vote was racist (or sexist) or anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant? Measuring prejudice is an imprecise undertaking, but it’s a matter of record that Trump broke into politics by claiming that the first African-American U.S. president was born in Kenya; that Trump obliterated a highly qualified GOP primary field by promising to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico and proposing a ban on Muslim immigration; and that he was caught on tape (albeit an 11-year-old tape) disparaging women in crude language. Did people vote for him because of this – or despite it?
15. The David Duke Factor. Most Americans probably didn’t know that the ex-Ku Klux Klansman was still active until the mainstream media began parading his endorsement of Trump on the front page. This was supposed to make Trump look bad, but it made the media look like it was actively sabotaging Trump’s campaign—a recurring theme throughout the election season.
16. Crony Capitalism. The grassroots in both parties have come to believe that corporate riches are increasingly dependent on political connections in Washington. Sanders criticized Clinton during the primary season by saying she was too cozy with Wall Street. She confirmed this perception by refusing to release transcripts of her speeches to Wall Street banks.
17. Clinton Cash. When some of those transcripts became available anyway, it looked as though Clinton was saying one thing to the banks in private—banks paying her lavishly for speeches—and something else on the campaign trail. It underscored how she and Bill came to Washington in 1992 with little money, and now have a net worth estimated at $200 million, all while ostensibly in public service.
18. Clinton Foundation. Soliciting massive donations from U.S. billionaires, overseas oligarchs, and foreign governments with lousy human rights records was problematic even before it was revealed that various political hacks were on the foundation payroll, giving the appearance that the Clintons had established a giant slush fund. When the Associated Press—not WikiLeaks—revealed that most of Secretary of State Clinton’s official appointments were with foundation donors, it played into Trump’s “Crooked Hillary” narrative.
19. Benghazi. If Clinton had left the State Department four months before she did, her reputation as the nation’s chief diplomat would never have been mired in the endless rounds of recriminations over an attack that killed four Americans – and whether she was truthful about the nature of the attack and its cause.
20. Her Secret Email System. Just as there are many theories about why Donald Trump won’t release his taxes, speculation abounds about why the Clintons went to great expense to set up a private server in their home. To keep the media from prying into her personal life? (Understandable.) To evade the requirements of federal records act? (Not great, but not a crime.) Or to hide the ongoing coordination between the Clinton Foundation, the State Department, the nascent Clinton presidential campaign and the Clintons’ personal finances? (Pretty sketchy.) Add some sloppiness with classified information and 33,000 emails deep-sixed by Hillary’s lawyers and you get a festering, low-grade scandal that lasted from March of 2015 to the eve of Election Day.
21. James Comey. Even as the election returns trickled in Tuesday night, distraught Democrats pointed fingers at the FBI director—with some justification. After absolving her of criminality over the email server in July, Comey abruptly announced in a letter to Congress that he was reopening the investigation on October 28. The weekend before the election, he made his third announcement—nothing to see here, folks—but by then Clinton’s momentum was stopped by the collective national remembrance of Clinton scandals past, and of impeachment, and well, of a future that seemed unappealing.
22. Anthony Weiner. It was his laptop that led Comey to the abortive second investigation, Anthony Weiner being the “perv,” in New York tabloid-speak, who’s married to Clinton’s top aide, Huma Abedin. (They were wed in a ceremony officiated by Bill Clinton.) The Abedin-Weiner union dissolved for the same reason Weiner resigned his seat in Congress, which was the same reason he lost his attempted comeback in the New York mayoral race: his compulsive “sexting” with strangers. The last one was reportedly a 15-year-old girl, which is why the FBI was rooting through his computers in the first place. Weiner was more than an unwelcome distraction for the Clintons. He was their recurring nightmare.
23. Glass Ceiling. Hillary’s quest to be the nation’s first female president ran into a problem: Women voters didn’t flock to her side as much as the campaign had hoped. Yes, she enjoyed a 54 percent to 42 percent advantage over Trump among female voters, but this “gender gap” was about the same as Barack Obama’s advantage over John McCain and Mitt Romney. Hillary’s candidacy didn’t alter the equation.
24. Passion Gap. Since the first primary back in February, when more New Hampshire voters participated in the crowded Republican primary (won by Trump) than the smaller Democratic field headed by Clinton and Sanders (Sanders won), Democrats have worried about the problem that has dogged them throughout the Age of Obama: Unless Obama is on the ballot himself, Democrats have trouble turning out their voters. This hurt Clinton in all of the Rust Belt states she lost to Trump. The Obama political machine turns out to be non-transferrable.
25. Obamacare. Two weeks before the election, the Obama administration reluctantly conceded that premiums under the Affordable Care Act would rise an average of 22 percent in 2017. A confident Hillary Clinton ignored this bad news, but Trump didn’t. He said Obamacare was “blowing up,” and suggested that the true figure was probably much higher than 22 percent. But Hillary’s husband couldn’t restrain himself. Earlier in October, Bill Clinton complained about the premiums. “The people who are getting killed on this deal are small business people and individuals who make just a little too much money to get any of these subsidies,” he groused. “It’s the craziest thing in the world.”
26. Terrorism. A significant portion of white voters concluded during the last eight years that the Democratic Party in general and President Obama and Hillary Clinton in particular dance around the danger we face. The accusation is that they put a greater value on not hurting anyone’s feelings than on national security. A frequent conservative refrain is that the Democrats won’t even say “Islamic terrorism.” Is this concern justified? Or is it frosting on a cake that should really be labeled “racism” or “Muslim-hatred”? This is not an academic question. Trump’s blunt language helped him become president-elect. Now he, and this country, have to manage emotions he helped unleash.
27. Bruce Springsteen. A loyal Democratic Party trouper every four years, The Boss did his part again in 2016, playing a brief set for a huge crowd at a get-out-the-vote rally in Philadelphia attended by Bill and Hillary Clinton and Barack and Michelle Obama. Springsteen, who’d previously called Trump a “moron,” extolled Hillary’s vision for America while excoriating Trump’s. Playing on his acoustic guitar, Springsteen sang three songs. One number he didn’t play, though, was “My Hometown,” and it is a line from that anthem that has haunted Rust Belt working-class voters for more than a generation: “They’re closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks,” Bruce sings, “the foreman says these jobs are going boys, and they ain’t coming back.” Except that Trump promised to bring them back, and that’s a siren song of another kind altogether.
28. Kellyanne Conway. Trump’s campaign initially had no professional fundraising outfit, didn’t know enough to launch absentee-ballot campaigns, scoffed at get-out-the-vote efforts, and for much of the year had a single press aide, 27-year-old Hope Hicks. It was an infrastructure that couldn’t have handled the duties of a mayoral campaign. A third staff shakeup brought in Conway, a veteran GOP pollster, as campaign manager, and Breitbart News chief Steve Bannon as the overall head. Trump started heeding the advice of Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, who had dispatched RNC communications specialist Sean Spicer to New York to babysit the candidate. The pros helped. The Donald remained very much a “citizen politician,” but in the stretch run of the campaign he mostly stayed on message.
29. The GOP Machine. Although Trump didn’t have a get-out-the-vote effort, in some states, notably Ohio and Wisconsin, Priebus and the GOP Senate candidate had robust operations of their own. This helped Trump carry those two states as well as Florida, where Senate candidate Marco Rubio helped drag Trump across the finish line. In other words, even this personality-driven campaign wasn’t a one-man band.
30. Gary Johnson Tanked. The Libertarian Party, in its infinite wisdom, used this year – when millions of Americans were looking for an alternative – to field a candidate who struggled to name a single foreign leader he admired and who seemed like he was, well, stoned, half the time. Johnson is a nice man, but he was a poor fit in the Year of the Angry Voter. That said, he and his running mate, William Weld of Massachusetts, were both former Republican governors who figured to take more votes from Trump than they did. In the end, a critical mass of Americans didn’t want a protest vote, they wanted a protest president.
31. Lesser of Two Evils. In an exhaustive YouGov poll of some 5,000 voters, Clinton held a consistent, if narrow, lead in the national numbers. A large cohort of respondents consistently wouldn’t choose a candidate, however, saying they couldn’t abide either one. When pressed, just as many said they’d vote for Clinton as Trump, but this didn’t quite turn out to be true. A majority of those who told exit pollsters they disliked both candidates ended up picking Trump. Call it the hold-your-nose-and-vote mandate. Could 2016 have ended any other way? | positive |

Since we have yet to explore most of the world's oceans, the map's creators had to use data averaged over five decades from the World Ocean Atlas. They also added their own, such as the shape of the sea floor, and used statistical techniques to group the results into categories. To keep the map accurate, though, they need to do recalculations every five years or so. The creators are hoping that the map can help conservationists and government officials make decisions for marine preservation. It could also help researchers with their studies, such as figuring out why certain marine animals live where they do.
One of the teams that helped create EMUs is geographic information system company Esri, which also worked on high-tech information-mapping project, Urban Observatory. Esri created a web portal for the project, so you can check out the three-dimensional map for yourself. | positive |

Yoko Taro On Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, His Best Of 2017, And A… Lovely Message For The Fans
By Sato . December 29, 2017 . 7:00am
Yoko Taro didn’t share any news for future work in 4Gamer’s year-end talk with the developers, but he did have some… interesting things to talk about his favorite things of 2017, and a lovely message for fans.
Of the games released in 2017, which title were you most impressed (or shocked) by?
Title: Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp
Yoko Taro: I’ve been telling everyone, but Animal Crossing’s latest title on smartphone is amazing. It is missing various functions from the 3DS version, but to make up for it, the framework is made for a social game and I can’t get enough of the the gentle characters. As I level higher, the number of offerings the animals demand casually keeps increasing, so I think the sense of fear that comes from wondering “If these animals’ requests become extreme then what will they demand from me!?” is part of its good spice. I’m already trembling while waiting for the moment I lose myself and become impoverished in the social game world that never ends.
Of the entertainment contents that released in 2017, which left the biggest impression?
Yoko Taro: I don’t watch that many films, but I enjoyed Blade Runner 2049. It was a beautiful film.
Who caught your attention the most in 2017?
Yoko Taro: It feels like I write this every year, but it would be The Last Guardian director Fumito Ueda. I think it’ll still be a few more years until his next title releases, but I want to chafe against it already, so please announce a new title. Also, I’m waiting for a new title from Hiroshi Iuchi of M2…
Please share your ambitions for 2018 and a message for our readers
Yoko Taro: This year was a year that saw the release of many things I’ve worked on like the release of NieR: Automata, the release of SINoALICE, the book for the Kimi Shi ni Tamou Koto Nakare.
I’ve come to realize just how much fans love me, and how happy that makes me… so, during an autograph event a girl caught my eye and I decided to follow her back to her house, but she didn’t let me in her room, which I thought was weird, because she is my fan after all, so I grabbed a crowbar-like thing and opened her room’s door for an explanation, but she was only screaming and would not listen, and before I realized, she was on the ground covered in blood, and I didn’t do anything wrong, and she wasn’t responding, and since I couldn’t help I left from the balcony running as fast as I could, and when I finally arrived to a building I broke and entered through the back window and hid inside a closet. Then I sensed someone coming in, so I slowly snuck behind them, raising the crowbar. Right now, behind you. | positive |

FCC Repeals Net Neutrality - business.utah.gov Subscribe About Accolades & Rankings Boards Events Grants Targeted Industries Team Initiatives Business Resources Center for Rural Development Corporate Retention & Recruitment International Trade & Diplomacy Procurement Technical Assistance Center Utah Broadband Center Utah Film Commission Utah Immigration Assistance Center Utah Innovation Center Utah Office of Regulatory Relief Utah Office of Tourism Utah Small Business Credit Initiative News Contact Social Media FCC Repeals Net Neutrality February 26, 2018 The FCC has just released the final Order in the Federal Register to eliminate Net Neutrality. The Repeal will take place on April 23rd with further changes will happen after that date. The Restoring Internet Freedom Order will require Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to disclose information about their network management practices, performance characteristics, and commercal terms of service. The reporting requirement is important to enforce the absence of bright-line rules, since the FTC and the Justice Department will have to rely on ISPs to be able to report that they are doing to decide whether it is unfair. The rules will reclassify ISPs as Title 1 information services and remove the common carrier regulatory order which would give chief oversight of the ISP conduct to the Federal Trade Commission. The FCC will return to the light-touch regulatory design that was in place before net neutrality was enacted. The commission and order will restore the classification of broadband internet access service as a now lightly-regulated information service and will further reinstate the private mobile service classification of broadband internet service. The Federal Register explains that the restoration of the light-touch regulatory scheme will foster the internet’s growth and promote broadband deployment in rural America and further infrastructure investment throughout the nation, brighten the future of innovation both within the networks and at their edge, and move closer to the goal of eliminating the digital divide. The Federal Register also highlighted: Transparency will protect the openness of the internet. Eliminate the conduct rules imposed by the Title II order. Classify broadband internet as an information service which will comport with applicable law governing agency decisions. Return to Title 1 classification which will facilitate critical broadband investment and innovation by removing regulatory uncertainty. “Mass Markets” that include internet access service purchased with the support of E-rate and rural healthcare programs as well as any broadband internet access service offered using networks supported by CAF. Gives the delivery of fixed broadband over any medium, including various forms of wired broadband services. ISP’s are best understood as offering a service that inextricably intertwines the information processing capabilities and rejects commentator’s assertions that the primary function of ISPs is to simply transfer packets and not process information. Competition exists in various forms nearly everywhere and to that extent that effective competition is not universal, the costs of Title II regulation outweighs the benefits of our more light touch approach. In the unlikely event that ISPs engage in conduct that harms internet openness we find that utility-style regulation is unnecessary to address such content. Freeing internet traffic exchange arrangements from burdensome government regulation and allowing free market forces to discipline emerging market. Require all ISPs to disclose Blocking, Throttling, Affiliated Prioritization, Congestion Management, Application-Specific Behavior, Device Attachment Rules, Security, Service Description, and Impact of Non-Broadband Internet Access Service Data Services. History demonstrates that public attention, not Commission regulations, has been most effective in deterring ISP threats to openness and bringing about resolution of these rare incidents. The order concludes that maintaining the Title II Classification would have net negative benefits, thus maintaining Title II would decrease overall economic welfare and our cost-benefit analysis supports the decision to reclassify broadband internet access services as a Title I service and that ISP’s will be held accountable for any violations.

× Expand “I’m used to the fact that people in Britain know who I am on some level, but the notion that there’s any kind of international recognition is still bizarre to me.”
FRIGHT NIGHT directed by Craig Gillespie, written by Marti Noxon based on the screenplay by Tom Holland, with Colin Farrell, Anton Yelchin, Toni Collette and David Tennant. A DreamWorks release. 106 minutes. Opens Friday (August 19). See listing
David Tennant is not the star of Fright Night. He's not on the poster, and he appears in exactly one shot in the theatrical trailer. Colin Farrell gets all the attention as the movie's menace, a suave suburban vampire named Jerry, and Anton Yelchin and Christopher Mintz-Plasse score a lot of screen time as the teenagers who try to end his reign of terror.
But have no illusions: Tennant is the reason a large percentage of the movie's audience will be catching Fright Night this weekend. It's Tennant's first genre role since he left the hit British sci-fi series Doctor Who after playing the beloved time-travelling hero for four years. And to put it simply, as Fright Night's swaggering Vegas stage magician, Peter Vincent, Tennant owns the film, goosing the proceedings with the mercurial energy and over-the-top bravado of The Doctor, and then pulling back to reveal a very human hero underneath.
"It's a delicious character to be handed," the actor says from his dressing room in Wyndham's Theatre in London's West End, where he's starring in a production of Much Ado About Nothing opposite his former Who sidekick, Catherine Tate. "[It's great to] come in in the second act, as the Hollywood people like to describe such things - to be allowed to freewheel with that a bit, which was very much encouraged."
He's offering a radically different take on the Peter Vincent of Tom Holland's original 1985 Fright Night, a has-been horror star turned local TV host played by Roddy McDowall. Horror hosts having gone the way of UHF stations, Tennant's version of Vincent is a louche, leather-and-eyeliner-sporting rocker - The Doctor after a regeneration into Russell Brand.
"You have this illusionist in every sense of the word," Tennant explains. "He's clearly very successful on his own terms, but his personal life is a disaster area. He's a drunk, he's miserable, he's self-hating. At first he just seems like an irascible drunk, but we find out [that's] perhaps more deeply rooted than it might first appear."
The actor says he was very happy with the experience of his first Hollywood picture, praising director Craig Gillespie (Lars And The Real Girl) for encouraging the cast to contribute ideas and improvise during the shoot.
"I mean, it wasn't improvisation like Mike Leigh would have it, but [Craig] would certainly be interested in sort of loosening it up a bit, seeing where it would go," he says, "to the point that it went to some quite dark or lurid places - some of which ended up in the final film, which I'm very pleased to see. You're on set at 3 in the morning, thinking, ‘Oh, you're never gonna use that joke about me shagging the showgirl,' and then you see the final film and it's in! That's quite pleasing."
Tennant hadn't seen the original Fright Night when he was offered the role.
"I was a kid when it first came out, and I remember it being there, but I didn't see it then," he says. "It was only after I was on board for this one that I checked out the original. It was a very small-scale, slightly tatty B movie that became a sensation. You look at it and you can't figure out why that should be, other than it's got a certain charm to it. And of course that's quite a hard thing to re-create with a remake, because you're chasing something that is by definition elusive."
Not that he would have turned from the challenge.
"It was a very juicy opportunity to be handed, and kind of out of the blue," he says. "I just got a phone call. DreamWorks wanted me to go over and meet some people, which is the sort of phone call that your drama-school self dreams about."
Despite having spent years seeing his face plastered all over the United Kingdom as part of Doctor Who's marketing - and having turned up as a baddie in Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire - Tennant is still dazzled by the idea that he's become a star.
"It's just remarkable that anybody knows who you are," he says. "You know, I've just about got used to the fact that people in Britain know who I am on some level, but the notion that there's any kind of international recognition is still slightly bizarre to me."
It seems bizarre to me, in the Comic-Con age when blockbuster movies target geeks and nerds directly, that Tennant wouldn't be a major star. His charismatic run on Doctor Who for then-showrunner Russell T. Davies brought millions of new fans to the revived series. In October, BBC Video will release a 26-DVD gift set collecting all of his episodes and specials, The Complete David Tennant Years.
There was a time, not too long ago, when doing a science-fiction series meant the end of an actor's serious career. You took a role on a show with Star Trek in the title and you spent the rest of your days turning up on shows like Eureka and Warehouse 13.
It's not the same now, as Tennant has discovered. His run on Doctor Who turned out to be the gateway to doing virtually anything else he wanted to do, including playing Hamlet for the Royal Shakespeare Company - opposite Patrick Stewart, who similarly reinvented himself after more than a decade in the Star Trek franchise.
"Actors move from TV to film now in a way they never used to," Tennant says, "and things that might be called ‘genre' television I don't think are seen as the lesser art form they were once regarded as, [especially] when they're being done by people like Russell T. Davies. You know, he's the greatest writer television has."
It certainly doesn't hurt that genre television has grown up in the last decade. Shows like Doctor Who and the U.S. remake of Battlestar Galactica appeal to adult viewers who fondly remember the old versions but appreciate the maturity and gravity of the new productions.
When I ask whether he'll be part of Doctor Who's 50th anniversary celebration next year, Tennant is judicious: "I'm sure something will be celebrated, but I haven't had any phone calls yet."
He shouldn't have to wait much longer. Doctor Who is intensely beloved in England and elsewhere, and Tennant rates a big chunk of that love - and will likely be feeling it for a very long time.
"I think there's a generation now who don't see [Doctor Who] as something lesser," Tennant says. "They see it as something to be absolutely celebrated and put front and centre. Tom Baker, who played the Fourth Doctor in the 70s, talks now about how he's employed solely by people who grew up loving him.
"I pray to god I'll be enjoying the same thing in about 20 years' time. That's fine by me."

— Virginia Republicans immediately asserted their new power Wednesday, dismissing talk of sharing authority with Democrats in the state Senate, even though the two parties are likely to have equal numbers of members.
“Make no mistake about it — there is a Republican majority in the state Senate,” Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling (R) said at an afternoon news conference.
Bolling would cast the deciding vote in any tie, giving his party the authority to control the chamber and run its committees. The last time both parties each had 20 members, Democrats and the GOP shared power and committee chairmanships.
If Tuesday’s tenuous election results hold, the GOP will be in control of the executive branch and both houses of the General Assembly, and the tenor of Richmond could turn decidedly to the right.
On the campaign trail, Republicans generally focused their pitches on boosting jobs, curbing spending and streamlining government. In many parts of the state, GOP candidates encountered token opposition, or none, from Democrats.
But many of those elected are social conservatives eager to revive legislation — to further regulate abortion and eliminate environmental rules, for example — that stalled or died in a Democratic-controlled Senate.
Even before the election, social conservatives were preparing to reintroduce hundreds of bills that had gone nowhere over the past two years, including measures that would require doctors to offer anesthesia for a fetus before an abortion; permit guns in parks, colleges and libraries; mandate drug screening for welfare recipients; and allow employers to fire workers for not speaking English.
In an interview with The Washington Post, Gov. Robert F. McDonnell (R) said that a Republican-controlled General Assembly will be more likely to push socially conservative issues — something he said he will not shy away from.
“I’m going to be strongly pro-life, pro-family, pro-marriage,” McDonnell said.
The Senate’s top Democrat, Majority Leader Richard L. Saslaw, warned Republicans against trying to push a conservative agenda.
“You do these things, but you may wind up doing them at your own risk,” said Saslaw (Fairfax). “I would just caution them on trying to go crazy with some far-right agenda on a lot of this stuff.”
The new Republican caucus includes longtime antiabortion activist Dick Black, who served in the state House for eight years and on Tuesday won a Senate seat representing Loudoun and Prince William counties. Black’s confrontational tactics — he once sent pink plastic models of fetuses to fellow lawmakers as they prepared to vote on an abortion bill — sometimes drew ire from his party. But some Republicans say that Virginians have now made clear that they support a more conservative government.
Tom Garrett, the Louisa County commonwealth’s attorney, who won a Senate seat from an area northwest of Richmond, has proposed mandatory drug testing for welfare recipients and has advocated abolishing Virginia’s Department of Environmental Quality, which is charged with keeping air and water clean.
As a delegate, Charles W. Carrico Sr. of Grayson, who won election to the Senate from southwest Virginia, sponsored a measure that would allow the manufacture of firearms not regulated by federal law if they are constructed in Virginia and are never sold or moved outside the state.
Weeks before Election Day, Senate Republicans were already debating whether to replace their moderate leader, Thomas K. Norment Jr. (James City), with a more conservative senator who would better reflect a new caucus that is keen to push forward on initiatives that got nowhere under a divided government.
Counting on the governor
Conservatives say they are counting on McDonnell, who has devoted himself to a moderate agenda in his first two years in office, to back more sharply conservative proposals that have been pressed by Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli II (R), a tea party favorite, but that have usually been derailed by Senate Democrats.
House Majority Leader M. Kirkland Cox said Republicans in that chamber are eager to work with a united legislature and a governor who will help reduce the size of government to core functions.
“I don’t think the governor is going to have to change,” said Cox (Colonial Heights). “You don’t change your values.”
Carrico, who will move to the Senate after a decade in the House, said he plans to reintroduce a proposal to amend the state Constitution to protect prayer in public places, including schools.
“I worked with [McDonnell] in the House,” Carrico said. “I know him and his beliefs. I think he would support these efforts. I think he would understand these problems.”
McDonnell, once considered too conservative to be elected governor, has largely avoided hot-button subjects in his first two years in office. Instead, he has championed less controversial kitchen-table issues — jobs, traffic congestion and education.
The governor, who has built a national profile as the leader of the Republican Governors Association, will have to decide whether the image he wants to project in the final two years of his term will be that of a centrist or of a more aggressive politician with what Democrats deride as a “God, guns and gays” agenda.
“All those bills would be on the governor’s desk in five weeks,” Saslaw said. “And they would be signed.”
After angering some conservatives in his first 21 months in office, McDonnell might benefit politically from supporting tougher policies, strengthening his position in time for the GOP vice-presidential selection process. If the ticket is topped by Mitt Romney, a former governor from Massachusetts whose moderate positions make him suspect in the eyes of some conservatives, the party might be looking for a Southern Republican with strong conservative credentials.
Budget priorities
McDonnell’s first priority now will be the two-year budget, which he will introduce next month. He said he is looking to cut spending in areas in which he thinks government should not be involved, such as public broadcasting, and to add money to priorities such as economic development. He also hopes to drill for oil off Virginia’s coast and reform public elementary, middle and high schools.
“Republicans have just shown more of a willingness to cut spending, make the hard decisions to restore fiscal responsibility without raising taxes,” McDonnell said. “The Democrats have been much more willing to say the solutions to most of their problems are raising taxes.”
He said he knows that governing with one party may be just as difficult as with two. Some of his proposals, including privatizing state-owned liquor stores, have not won Republican or Democratic support.
Bolling, who ran with McDonnell in 2009 and is vying to succeed him in 2014, acknowledged differences within his party but played down potential problems.
“The Republican Party is not monolithic,” Bolling said. “Having a majority will make it easier to get our agenda through the next two years. By all means, it is not a guarantee we get everything we want.”
The governor and other Republicans say their wins on Tuesday mean that Virginians approve of the direction of the state under McDonnell — a marked contrast with how they feel about the nation’s direction under President Obama. Democrats, sensing a defeat, began minimizing the meaning of a GOP victory in the weeks before the election.
“I don’t think we can read anything into one election,” said U.S. Sen. Mark R. Warner, a Democratic former governor who worked for months to keep the state Senate in his party’s hands. “As we’ve seen in Virginia, as we’ve seen in the nation, if the pendulum goes one direction, it’s much quicker than ever to swing back.” | positive |
THE LATEST FIGURES on motor insurance show premiums have risen by almost 40% in the last year.
According to the Central Statistics Office, the country has experienced a rate of inflation of half a percent in the last 12 months – the highest rate of inflation experienced in the last three years.
It attributed the change, in part, to higher motor, health and house insurance premiums. In the last 12 months, motor insurance costs have risen 38.3%, home insurance is up 11.2% and health insurance premiums increased by 7.6%.
One third of Irish drivers have seen their insurance rise by up to 50% in the last year and it is particularly impacting on younger drivers. Young men in their early 20s are being asked to pay anything between €6,000 and €14,000 a year.
In its defence, the industry has said higher claim payouts necessitated premium hikes, but figures recently released to Fianna Fáil TD Michael McGrath revealed this did not quite add up.
Claims have, in fact, been decreasing across Ireland since 2011. Insurance companies paid out €1.01 billion in 2014. This is less than the €1.5 billion paid out in 2011 and €1.06 billion paid in 2012.
‘An unsustainable model’
Last month Michael Horan of Insurance Ireland told TheJournal.ie that while overall claims costs have been dropping, the premium incomes of companies have also been in decline.
In 2011 we had higher claims it’s true, but we also had higher premium income because there were more cars on the road. The average cost per claim actually saw an increase between 2012 and 2014 and that’s borne out by the figures.
Commenting on what he described as “shocking figures”, Sinn Féin TD Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire said the issue has “far reaching consequences for motorist, workers, businesses and rural Ireland in particular”.
“I am deeply concerned at the move by some insurers to simply no longer quote drivers at first and then after an appeal to quote outrageous figures for simple renewals,” he said.
The root cause of this increase is an industry which until now has survived on an unsustainable model of relying on investments to cover other losses.
“In an age of zero rate returns this model is failing. With interest rates so low across Europe insurance companies are instead penalising drivers, whose record has not changed, with massive unjustifiable increases.”

Last week, the Conservative party posted an image and excerpt from Al-Shabaab’s threat against West Edmonton Mall, the party apparently hoping to solicit support for C-51, the Anti-Terrorism Act. Press Progress, the media wing of the Broadbent Institute, subsequently wondered if this would have amounted to a transgression against C-51.
The answer to that question is . . . debatable. And that ambiguity might be the problem.
There is a separate conversation to be had about the wisdom, tastefulness and appropriateness of the party’s post. Setting that aside for the moment, the hypothetical legality of the post depends on a reading of a new offence that would be established by C-51. Here is the relevant clause from part 3 of the bill:
16. The Act is amended by adding the following after section 83.22: 83.221 (1) Every person who, by communicating statements, knowingly advocates or promotes the commission of terrorism offences in general—other than an offence under this section—while knowing that any of those offences will be committed or being reckless as to whether any of those offences may be committed, as a result of such communication, is guilty of an indictable offence and is liable to imprisonment for a term of not more than five years.
So would the act of relaying the text of a threat qualify as an offence by the letter of this law?
I asked law professors Craig Forcese and Kent Roach, who have written extensively about C-51, for their analysis of this particular point.
Here is Forcese:
Well, the offence requires intent to promote and advocate the commission of the offence, so I would doubt it reaches simple distribution of images, with accompanying commentary condemning the images. (Although I would think the images/videos themselves could be terrorist propaganda and so subject to deletion orders, and seizure by CBSA, whether embedded in someone else’s fundraising letter or not). But the overarching point is this: The offence is so unartfully ambigious . . . it invites slippery slopes. And that is precisely how it contributes to speech chill. In the final analysis, a court confronted with the sort of slippery-slope scenario this kind of example paints would likely construe the offence more narrowly than its possible outer reach. But of course, someone would need to be dragged into court on charges before that happened. It is for that very reason, in our proposed amendments, posted yesterday, we call the offence overbroad and unnecessary in relation to actual real or threatened terrorist violence. We see no reason for the offence, given that terrorist speech tied to violence is already prohibited. And at any rate, the absence of “purpose” language (tying the culpable speech to an actual terrorist purpose) and the absence of any of the public interest defences that exist, e.g., for hate crimes, makes the new crime an absolutely blunt and invasive instrument. Do I think the Tories will be prosecuted for their fundraising letter? No. Do I think their law will be counterproductive, measured on both a security and liberties basis? Yes.
On the other hand, here is Roach:
I would only add that all that is required is knowing (not wilful or intentional) promotion or advocacy. This is actually a significant difference in criminal law, and does open the door to possible prosecutions of those who knowingly distribute terrorist propaganda while aware of a risk that someone (even if predisposed and/or mentally ill) will commit an offence as a result of the communication. I agree with Craig that we are not likely to see such prosecutions, and courts would read down the offence, but the speech chill would still be there.
So while a conviction might not be likely, it might be possible to read the law as covering this sort of post. Interestingly, Forcese also suggests the post could qualify as propaganda. And regardless of the prospects of charges or a successful prosecution, the mere fact that the question can be asked could be enough to chill free speech.
For its part, a spokesman for the Conservative party says this of the party’s post:
It condemns terrorism, it does not promote it. The post supports the government’s strong response to combating terrorism.
When I, Craig Forcese and former CSIS official Ray Boisvert discussed C-51 last week, Forcese suggested a different example to explain how the prohibition against advocating or promoting terrorism could come into play:
I keep using this example involving a hypothetical Ukrainian resistance movement. An academic goes to a conference, which is attended by, among others, Ukrainian support groups, and that person says, “We should be supporting Ukrainian insurgency movements who are resisting the Russian occupation in Ukraine by targeting Russian oil infrastructure through means that involve the use of violence.” If that person says that, knowing someone in that room might then give money to that insurgency, that is almost certainly an offence, because those insurgencies would likely fall within the scope of the definition of terrorist group in the Criminal Code.
As Forcese mentions in his comments about the Conservative post, he and Roach have drafted a series of potential amendments to C-51. On this particular point, they would replace the existing clause with a more specific offence:
(1) Every person who, by communicating statements, willfully advocates or promotes the commission of a terrorist activity for the purpose of inciting an act or omission that would be a terrorism offence—other than an offence under this section—is guilty of an indictable offence and is liable to imprisonment for a term of not more than five years.
There are a few changes there: “knowingly” becomes “willfully”; “terrorism offences in general” becomes “terrorist activity”; and “being reckless” becomes “inciting.”
The public safety committee’s study of C-51 continues tomorrow morning with testimony from Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney and Justice Minister Peter MacKay. | positive |
