While there is increasing evidence that medical marijuana could be a viable alternative to opioids in terms of pain management, a new report indicates that Congress is still not prepared to give the scientific community the green light to dig any deeper into this progressive concept.
Earlier last week, the U.S. House Rules Committee voted against two proposed amendments that would have required a special pain management task force to consider how weed might be used as an alternative or in conjunction with prescription painkillers.
“Medical marijuana is a possible and likely way to reduce opioid prescription painkiller abuse for chronic pain,”
Both amendments, submitted by Representatives Dana Rohrabacher and Jared Polis, would have given Uncle Sam’s new painkiller detail, a crew consisting of various federal drug and health agencies, the opportunity to look into “the potential for marijuana to serve as an alternative to opioids for pain management,” as well as conduct research that compares “the medical application of marijuana and opioids for pain management.”
In an effort to sell the importance of allowing the task force to include medical marijuana in its review, Polis explained before the House Committee that medical marijuana has already shown significant promise in deterring overdose incidents stemming from the abuse of prescription narcotics.
“Medical marijuana is a possible and likely way to reduce opioid prescription painkiller abuse for chronic pain,” Polis said. “And unfortunately, it’s hardly been explored due to government policy, in large part because of the federal government’s monopoly on legal cultivation and studies.”
Pointing out a number of prominent studies, Polis said that while he does not expect medical marijuana to have a flawless success rate when it comes to the treatment of severe pain, it is worth including in the upcoming federal examination because “it does work for some patients.”
“If it can avoid going onto narcotics like opioids, which often lead to abuse, I think it can be an important part of the arsenal in dealing with this plague and epidemic of opioid abuse,” Polis said.
According to Marijuana.com, the Rules Committee decided against allowing the two amendments to advance to the House floor. The congressional panel also rejected a third amendment, which in addition to Polis had the support of Representatives Scott Perry and Bob Dold, that would have prevented cannabidiol (CBD), the non-intoxicating compound of the cannabis plant, from being treated as a controlled substance.
However, once all of the pro-marijuana amendments were eliminated from the table, the pain management research bill was swiftly approved on the House floor in a vote of 255-to-163.
Unfortunately, this means that thousands of Americans may continue to die every year as a result of opioid overdoses, while a promising solution — one which is now legal in almost half the nation — remains an outlawed medication in the eyes of the federal government. | positive |

A growing number of Tumblr blogs have been hacked by notorious troll group GNAA or the Gay Nigger Association of America, perhaps best known for its association with the recently convicted Andrew Auernheimer or "weev." The GNAA Twitter account says that 8,600 unique users have had their accounts compromised and blogs defaced. While we can't verify that number now, the compromise is visible on several personal blogs, as well as those for Reuters, The Verge, and others. The infected sites now display an exhortation for users to commit suicide, and visiting while logged in will spread the worm to your own blogs. We've contacted Tumblr for comment; for now, it's best to stay away from Tumblr if you've got an account that could be infected.
Update: Tumblr has responded with the following statement:
There is a viral post circulating on Tumblr which begins "Dearest 'Tumblr' users". If you have viewed this post, please log out of all browsers that may be using Tumblr immediately. Our engineers are working to resolve the issue as swiftly as possible. Thank you.
Further Update: Gawker's Adrian Chen has posted a short interview with a GNAA spokesperson, who claims that the group "contacted Tumblr about [the vulnerability] weeks ago and nothing came of it." As Chen says, of course, there's reason to be at least a little skeptical of the group's responses.
Resolution: Tumblr has posted again, saying that the problem has been resolved. The blogs mentioned above, including our own, have been restored to their original state. | positive |

A trough of water meant for cows currently being used by people for water supply in Senekal. (Photo: Ray de Vries)
Durban – While parts of the country are battling minimal water supply as the drought crisis worsens – the community of Senekal, in the Free State, has reached desperate levels, with no water supply in the area for weeks.
The situation has become so dire, that reports of people drinking sewage water have emerged, with many in townships bearing the brunt of bone-dry taps.
Speaking to News24 on Monday, Air from Water owner Ray de Vries said he had witnessed the negative effects of the drought first-hand.
"I got in touch with Water Shortage South Africa after hearing about a farmer who had committed suicide. I, thereafter, began visiting Senekal and what I saw was dire. People have drunk raw sewage.
"I have also seen people fight over water. Driving in, one can see dead cow and ostriches. There are even people chasing cows away from drinking water so they can have the cow's supply. It is a sad situation and there needs to be more exposure and help for these people."
Attempts to assist
Co-founder for Water Shortage South Africa, Gerhard le Roux from Mossel Bay, said he and co-founder Sue Wolmarans had initiated a project to assist supply of water for desperate residents.
“We basically appealed to people going inland from the coast to please bring back bottles of still water for drinking or even tap water.
“We created drop-off points, and people began responding to us. We just try to help as much as we can. Why there is a shortage is not our concern. We are simply trying to get as much water as we can to as many people as we can. We help old age homes, hospitals, places of that nature.
"There have been many people that have since offered assistance and we are extremely grateful. There is even one person who wants to donate three tons of water. Logistics are just an issue for us at the moment."
Le Roux added that the lack of water was becoming worse, with boreholes and taps "absolutely dry".
"The other day, 2 000 litres of water we collected was finished in one weekend. There is a massive demand. We just hope to help as many people as we can."
Community coming together
Senekal community leader Theo Oosthuizen said the area had seen "devastating drought conditions".
"Things are not easy at all and our people need help. As a community, we have come together with businesses and other stakeholders to provide Jojo tanks to townships, because even the boreholes that some farmers use have gone dry. The tanks are being filled once a day."
At the time of going to press, the Setsoto Municipality, who are responsible for the Senekal area, had not responded to queries on the drought. | positive |
[JURIST] The US Supreme Court [official website] ruled [opinion, PDF] Monday in Bond v. United States [SCOTUSblog backgrounder] that prosecutors cannot use an international chemical weapons treaty to convict a woman who attacked her husband’s lover. Carol Anne Bond attempted to poison the woman by applying two toxic chemicals to her mailbox, car door handles and house doorknob. She was then convicted under the Chemical Weapons Convention Implementation Act [18 USC § 229 text], a federal law that enforces the international Chemical Weapons Convention [materials], which intends to ban the spread of international chemical weapons. The US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit upheld the conviction [opinion]. In an opinion by Chief Justice John Roberts, the Supreme Court reversed:
The question presented by this case is whether the Implementation Act also reaches a purely local crime: an amateur attempt by a jilted wife to injure her husband’s lover, which ended up causing only a minor thumb burn readily treated by rinsing with water. Because our constitutional
structure leaves local criminal activity primarily to the States, we have generally declined to read federal law as intruding on that responsibility, unless Congress has clearly indicated that the law should have such reach. The Chemical Weapons Convention Implementation Act contains no such clear indication, and we accordingly conclude that it does not cover the unremarkable local offense at issue here.
There were several concurring opinions.
The court heard arguments in the case in November after granting certiorari [JURIST reports] in January of last year. The court ruled in 2011 that Bond had standing [JURIST report] under the Tenth Amendment [text] to challenge the application of the treaty against her but did not determine the merits of her claim at that time. | positive |

On April 3, Yoon Shi Yoon appeared as a guest on KBS Cool FM radio’s “Park Ji Yoon’s Gayo Plaza,” and talked about his looks, fashion, ideal type, and more.
When asked how he maintains his youthful appearance, the 30 year-old actor answered, “I never change the salon I go to. I like to keep things just the way they are. I think that’s the secret.”
Following this, the actor commented on his style and said, “I don’t pay attention to fashion trends at all and rarely change what’s in my wardrobe. Sometimes, I can’t even tell what year my pictures are from because the clothes I wear now are the same as the clothes I wore then. Because of this, I have to rely on my stylist even outside of filming.”
The actor also showed his humble side and professional mindset. “I think that fashion is something I need to work on. In acting, there is a possibility that I will have to play a character who is very stylish. I don’t want to be awkward if a situation like this arises,” he said.
Yoon Shi Yoon was also asked to describe his ideal type, to which he responded, “I like women who are feminine but also strong and independent.”
Lastly, Yoon Shi Yoon talked about his casting in KBS 2TV’s “Greatest One Shot,” and said that he will be playing a pop star in the upcoming drama.

Green Chemistry appeals for the development of new chemical reactivity’s and reaction conditions that can potentially provide benefits for chemical syntheses in empathies of resource and energy efficiency, operational ease, product selectivity, and health and environmental safety. Some of greener syntheses is the development of tandem and cascade reaction processes that incorporate as many reactions as possible to give the final product in single operation. In biocatalysis where the potential effectiveness of various catalysts such as enzymes, whole cells, and catalytic antibodies for organic synthesis has become more recognized.

A hospital serving mostly low-income people on the city’s Far South Side is one of only 15 in the country to get a patient safety grade of F on a recent report — a grade the hospital disputes.
Roseland Community Hospital was the only hospital in Illinois to receive the failing grade this week as part of semiannual ratings by the Leapfrog Group, a nonprofit that evaluates hospital performance. No other Illinois hospital has received an F in at least four years from Leapfrog, which grades hospitals on 27 measures of hospital safety, including hand hygiene, intensive care unit physician staffing, bedsores and falls.
Though experts agree that patients shouldn’t base all their decisions on one single grade or measure, consumers shouldn’t brush off such grades either, said Larry Boress, president and CEO of the Midwest Business Group on Health, which worked with Leapfrog on the survey in Illinois.
“I think they should question whether or not they should get care in that hospital,” Boress said of a hospital that receives a grade of F. “Hospital ... mistakes and safety issues are the third-highest cause of death in this country, so it’s not to be taken lightly.”
Roseland Community President and CEO Tim Egan argued some of the information used in Leapfrog’s assessment of hospitals was dated and not representative of current conditions at his hospital. The hospital didn’t finish filling out the survey sent by Leapfrog because of a lack of resources, and was instead focused on gaining re-accreditation from the Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program, which it achieved in recent weeks, he said.
Egan also pointed to rising patient satisfaction levels. Patient satisfaction rose significantly across a dozen different measures between 2016 and 2017, according to surveys performed for the hospital. “You have to judge (based) on what the patients are saying about the hospital,” Egan said.
In the Roseland neighborhood, residents don’t have a lot of hospital options. The independent, 134-bed facility has been a staple of the community since 1924, primarily serving patients in need.
About 60 percent of Roseland’s patients are on Medicaid, a state and federally funded health insurance program for the poor, Egan said. About 24,000 patients visit the hospital’s emergency department each year, including victims of violence and gunshots.
Shortly before Egan took over in 2013, the hospital accepted money from the state to avoid closure. Egan was tasked with helping to turn around Roseland. The hospital was $30 million in debt when Egan took over, and is now about $6 million in debt, he said.
Ratings and rankings are perennial sources of pride or anxiety for hospitals. Some hospitals tout their high ratings to attract more patients.
Leapfrog is not the only organization that evaluates hospitals. The federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, U.S. News & World Report and Consumer Reports release ratings, each using their own methodologies, among others. Illinois also has its own hospital report cards that show safety, quality and satisfaction measures.
Roseland most recently received two stars out of five for quality from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
Hospital leaders, however, caution that consumers should consider ratings as just one part of the equation when making health care decisions.
The Illinois Health and Hospital Association recommends patients and consumers talk to their doctors and check multiple sources when deciding on hospitals. “We’ve always agreed hospitals should be transparent on patient and quality and safety information,” said association spokesman Danny Chun.“However … patients and consumers should not rely on any one set of rankings.”
In Illinois, 111 hospitals were graded as part of the Leapfrog report, and of those, 33 received an A, down from 36 hospitals that earned a top grade in the spring. Boress said that may be because of a higher curve this time around as well as some changes in the methodology.
Ten Illinois hospitals earned A grades for the fifth year in a row: Amita Health St. Alexius Medical Center in Hoffman Estates; Elmhurst Hospital; HSHS St. Joseph’s Hospital Breese; Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield; OSF St. Joseph Medical Center in Bloomington; OSF St. Mary Medical Center in Galesburg; Rush University Medical Center in Chicago; Rush Copley Medical Center in Aurora; University of Chicago Medical Center; and West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park.

A 25-year-old man was shot outside a bar on N. Water St. late Thursday, forcing police to empty taverns of hundreds of St. Patrick's Day revelers and shut down bars in the surrounding neighborhood.
The shooting was reported shortly before 11:30 p.m. in the 1100 block of N. Water St., Milwaukee Police Department spokeswoman Anne E. Schwartz said.
The victim suffered a gunshot wound to the body and was taken to a hospital, but his injuries were not believed to be life-threatening, Schwartz said.
There were numerous officers in the area who responded immediately to secure the shooting scene and police shut down Water St. from E. State to E. Knapp streets and from N. Market to N. Edison streets, she said.
Until the shooting, revelers on Water St. were orderly and there were no other serious incidents reported, Schwartz said.
Police asked anyone with information or photos of the shooting scene before or after the incident to call the Milwaukee Police Department. | positive |

Liberate Your Parking Spot: A win for all Category: Press Releases, Sustainability, Wellness Services Posted On: Aug 13, 2018 Written By: St. John's Medical Center The award-winning sustainability program at St. John’s Medical Center implemented a new goal for the summer: reduce the number of people driving themselves to work by 3%. St. John’s human resources and wellness departments listened to staff input and took a creative approach that would make a positive impact on summer traffic and parking, increase employees’ well-being, improve sustainability goals, and foster connection among colleagues. The solution? A program called “Liberate Your Parking Spot,” in which staff members are paid $5 for every day that they carpool, bike, or walk to work between June 1 and August 31. “Once we started looking at all the potential benefits, including more parking for the hospital and less stress for employees, it became clear this was a worthwhile investment for us to pilot as an organization,” said Thom Kinney, director of human resources. During the first two months of the program, 228 individual participants carpooled, biked, or walked to work, for a total of over 4,000 participant days. Approximately 39% of participants carpooled, 41% biked, and 20% walked. Due to the popularity of the program, St. John’s installed new bike racks on campus. The response from employees has been extremely positive, with comments like, “This is amazing!” and “These are totally the things that increase employee happiness!” Prior to implementing Liberate Your Parking Spot, a survey showed that approximately 60% of staff members drive themselves to work, 12% carpool, 11% bike, and 6% take the bus. ## Media contact: Karen Connelly, 307.739.7380, [email protected] ABOUT ST.

For the skate brand of the same name, see Roller Derby (brand)
Roller derby is a contact sport played by two teams of five members roller skating counter-clockwise around a track. Roller derby is played by approximately 1,250 amateur leagues worldwide, mostly inside the United States.[2]
Game play consists of a series of short match-ups (jams) in which both teams designate a jammer (who wears a star on the helmet). The jammer scores points by lapping members of the opposing team. The teams attempt to hinder the opposing jammer while assisting their own jammer—in effect, playing both offense and defense simultaneously.[3]
While the sport has its origins in the banked-track roller-skating marathons of the 1930s, Leo Seltzer and Damon Runyon are credited with evolving the sport to its competitive form. Professional roller derby quickly became popular; in 1940, more than 5 million spectators watched in about 50 American cities. In the ensuing decades, however, it predominantly became a form of sports entertainment, where theatrical elements overshadowed athleticism. Gratuitous showmanship largely ended with the sport's grassroots revival in the first decade of the 21st century.[4] Although roller derby retains some sports entertainment qualities such as player pseudonyms and colorful uniforms, it has abandoned scripted bouts with predetermined winners.[5]
Modern roller derby is an international sport, mostly played by amateurs. Most teams are all-female teams, but there is a growing number of male, unisex, and junior roller derby teams. It was under consideration as a roller sport for the 2020 Summer Olympics.[6][7][8] FIRS, recognized by the International Olympic Committee as the official international governing body of roller sports, released its first set of Roller Derby Rules for the World Roller Games that took place September 2017 in Nanjing, China. Most modern leagues (and their back-office volunteers) share a strong "do-it-yourself" ethic[9] that combines athleticism with the styles of punk and camp.[10] As of 2018 , the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) had 423 full member leagues and 46 apprentice leagues.[11]
Rules [ edit ]
Contemporary roller derby has a basic set of rules, with variations reflecting the interests of a governing body's member leagues. The summary below is based on the rules of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA).[1] In March 2010, Derby News Network claimed that more than 98% of roller derby competitions were conducted under WFTDA rules.[12] For example, members of the United Kingdom Roller Derby Association are required to play by WFTDA rules,[13] while members of the former Canadian Women's Roller Derby Association were encouraged to join the WFTDA.[14]
Basics of play [ edit ]
Position Helmet cover[1]: 7 Responsibility Jammer Stars Scores points by lapping opposing team members[1]: 7 Blocker None Forms the pack,[15]: 18 hinders the opposing jammer from passing through the pack, and helps their team's jammer pass through the pack.[16] Pivot Stripe A blocker who may be converted to a jammer during the course of a jam,[1]: 7 if the jammer's helmet cover is correctly transferred in a "star pass" maneuver.[15]: 29 The pivot is often an experienced player who establishes team strategy during play and sets the pace of the pack.[17][15]: 19
Roller derby is played in two periods of 30 minutes.[1]:4 Two teams of up to 15 players each field up to five members for episodes called "jams." Jams last two minutes unless called off prematurely.[1]:5 Each team designates a scoring player (the "jammer"); the other four members are "blockers." One blocker can be designated as a "pivot"—a blocker who is allowed to become a jammer in the course of play.[1]:7 The next jam may involve different players of the 15 roster players, and different selections for jammer and pivot.[1]:7
During each jam, players skate counterclockwise on a circuit track. Points are scored only by a team's jammer. After breaking through the pack and skating one lap to begin another "trip" through the pack, the jammer scores one point for passing any opposing blocker.[1]:33[note 1] The rules describe an "earned" pass; notably, the jammer must be in-bounds and upright. The jammer's first earned pass scores a point for passing that blocker and a point for each opponent blocker not on the track (for instance, serving a penalty, or when the opposition did not field five players for the jam). If the jammer passes the entire pack, it is a four-point scoring trip, commonly called a "grand slam."[note 1]
Each team's blockers use body contact, changing positions, and other tactics to help their jammer score while hindering the opposing team's jammer.
Jams [ edit ]
Play begins by blockers lining up on the track anywhere between the "jammer line" and the "pivot line" 30 feet in front. The jammers start behind the jammer line.[1]:12 Jams begin on a single short whistle blast, upon which both jammers and blockers may begin engaging immediately.
Lonestar Rollergirls in Austin, Texas, play on a banked track. The jammer (wearing the starred helmet cover) is trying to pass a pivot (wearing a striped cover) with various blockers assisting.
The pack is the largest single group of blockers containing members of both teams skating in proximity, arranged such that each player is within 10 feet of the next.[1]:11 Blockers must maintain the pack, but can skate freely within 20 feet behind and ahead of it, an area known as the "engagement zone."[1]:13
The first jammer to break through the pack earns the status of "lead jammer."[1]:7 A designated referee blows the whistle twice, and skates near, and points at, the lead jammer. Once earned, lead jammer status cannot be transferred to other skaters, but certain actions (notably, being sent to the penalty box) can cause it to be lost.[1]:8 The lead jammer can stop the jam at any time by repeatedly placing both hands on their hips.[1]: If the jam is not stopped early, it ends after two minutes.[1]:5 If time remains in the period, teams then have 30 seconds to get on the track and line up for the next jam.[1]:5 If the period expires, it does not halt a jam that is underway.
Blocking [ edit ]

A skater may block an opponent to impede their movement or to force them out of bounds. The blocker must be upright, skating counterclockwise, in bounds, and within the engagement zone. Blocking with hands, elbows, head, and feet is prohibited, as is contact above the shoulders or below mid-thigh, and blocking from behind.[1]:14
Penalties [ edit ]
A German pivot attempts to knock a Dutch jammer out of bounds (the yellow line) at a 2011 bout held in Essen, Germany
Referees penalize rules violations.[1]:36 A player receiving a penalty is removed from play to sit in a penalty box for 30 seconds of jam time.[1]:29 If the jam ends during this interval, the player remains in the penalty box during the subsequent jam until the interval ends.[1]:30 The penalized player's team plays short-handed, as in ice hockey.
However, the "power jam", derived from hockey's "power play", does not cover any short-handed situation but only the case where the jammer is penalized.[18] In this case, that team cannot score. While the lead jammer is penalized, no one can prematurely end the jam.
It would be pointless to play if neither team could score; thus, a jammer is released from the penalty box early if the opponents' jammer enters the box. The second jammer's penalty is then only as long as the amount of time the first jammer spent in the box.[1]:31 A player "fouls out" of the game on the seventh penalty, and is required to return to the locker room.[1]:32
Equipment [ edit ]
Players skate on four-wheeled ("quad") roller skates,[1]:11 and are required to wear protective equipment, including a helmet, wrist guards, elbow pads, knee pads, and mouth guards. All current sets of roller derby rules explicitly forbid inline skates for players. (USARS requires quad skates for all skaters. WFTDA and MRDA permit inline skates for referees, but virtually all referees wear quad skates.) Individual teams may mandate additional gear, such as padded knee length pants, similar to what aggressive skateboarders wear, and biologically specific gear such as a hard-case sports bra for female players and protective cups for males.[1]:39
Strategy and tactics [ edit ]
Offense and defense are played simultaneously,[19] a volatile aspect that complicates strategy and tactics. For example, blockers may create a large hole for their jammer to pass through and score, but this same maneuver might also allow the opposing team's jammer to score.[20][21]
Strategies (high-level plans toward achieving the game's goal, which is to outscore the opposition) include the following:
Ending the jam : The lead jammer can "call off" or end the jam at any time, controlling the opposition's ability to score points. The strategy for a jam is not to score a lot of points but to outscore the opposition. Often, the lead jammer scores as many points as possible on the first scoring trip, and then ends the jam before the opposing jammer can begin a scoring trip. [22] If the jammer gets the lead but falls behind the opposing jammer, the coach may conclude that the team will be outscored and direct the jammer to call off the jam.

If the jammer gets the lead but falls behind the opposing jammer, the coach may conclude that the team will be outscored and direct the jammer to call off the jam. Passing the star : The jammer for a team may "pass the star" (may perform a "star pass") to the pivot—that is, hand the helmet cover with the star to the pivot, which turns the pivot into the jammer. [1] : 9 Passing the star does not nullify any earned pass of an opponent that the former jammer made, but passing the star forward never constitutes an earned pass. A jammer might pass the star because of fatigue, injury, or because the pivot is in a better position to score. [23] Passing the star is also sometimes referred to as "passing the panty", as helmet covers are sometimes known as "panties". [24]

Passing the star is also sometimes referred to as "passing the panty", as helmet covers are sometimes known as "panties". Penalty-killing: Captained by the pivot, blockers adapt their play to a penalty situation. For example, a short-handed team may try to make the pack skate faster to slow down scoring action until the team returns to full strength.[17][note 2]
Tactics (deliberate conceptual tasks in support of the strategy) may include the following:
Walling up : Two or more blockers skate together to make it difficult for the opposing team (especially its jammer) to maneuver. They may skate side-by-side and use a "wide stance" to maximize the blockade, but must not link with or grasp each other, or otherwise form an impenetrable connection. [1] The ability to suddenly form a wall denies the opposition time to respond. A wall can inhibit, slow down, and ultimately trap the opposing jammer. An effective wall may last for an entire jam. Variations on the tactic include the following: Backwards bracing, in which one skater, forward of the wall, skates backward to sight the jammer and direct teammates forming the wall. A skater may break off from the wall to actively challenge the opposing jammer, with a teammate replacing the skater in the wall. [25] If the opposing jammer tries to pass the wall on one side, players may abandon the other side to fortify the active side of the wall.

Jammer tactics , in response to a wall or other obstacles by the defense, include the following: Pushing through gaps in the wall or inducing the wall to separate by use of physical force. Evading the obstacle to one side or the other. Juking, where the jammer seems to be skating to one side but quickly shifts to the other side. Rolling around the end of the obstacle (spinning 360°) to end up forward of it. [26] Using teammates to impede the defense from adjusting, such as by setting screens. Using a whip , where one or more teammates grasp the jammer's hand(s) and swing the jammer forward, transferring speed and momentum to the jammer. [27] Using the inside curve of the track to leap out of bounds but land in bounds.
, in response to a wall or other obstacles by the defense, include the following: Goating : The pack is defined as the largest group of in-bounds blockers, skating in proximity, containing members from both teams. [1] : 11 In the "goat-herding" tactic, one team surrounds a blocker of the opposing team, and then slows so that that group becomes the pack. The rest of the opposing team, skating ahead, are thus put out of play and cannot legally block the goat-herders' jammer.

The rest of the opposing team, skating ahead, are thus put out of play and cannot legally block the goat-herders' jammer. Running back or recycling : When a skater bumps the opponent jammer off the track, the jammer can only re-enter the track behind the skater. The skater skates clockwise on the track toward the rear of the engagement zone to maximize the time the jammer must spend before returning to action. [28]
or : When a skater bumps the opponent jammer off the track, the jammer can only re-enter the track behind the skater. The skater skates clockwise on the track toward the rear of the engagement zone to maximize the time the jammer must spend before returning to action. Bridging: By separating up to 10 feet, blockers can stretch both the pack and the engagement zone, allowing teammates to keep hindering the opposition jammer. For example, in the strategy of running back (see above), coordinated action by the four skaters other than the jammer could force the opponent jammer to detour a full 40 feet before returning to action.[29]
Officials [ edit ]
WFTDA bouts are officiated by three to seven skating referees and many non-skating officials (NSOs).[1]:35 Volunteer leagues adapt when fewer than the optimal number of officials are present.
Referees [ edit ]
Referees skate on the inside of the track; in flat-track derby, some also skate on the outside of the track. They call penalties, award points, and ensure safe game play.[1]:36 Referees must wear skates and typically wear white and black stripes.[1]:38
Type Number Responsibility Head Referee 1 The head referee is responsible for the general supervision of the bout and has final authority on all rulings. The head referee skates as an inside pack referee, but is also responsible for issuing expulsions[1]: 35 and for announcing the results of official reviews.[1]: 38 Pack Referee Up to 5 Pack referees are responsible for watching the skaters in the pack, pack definition and calling penalties. They are located both inside and outside the track.[1]: 35 [15]: 29 Jammer Referees 2 Skating on the inside of the track,[15]: 29 jammer referees watch the jammers of a specific team and wear a wristband (and optionally a helmet cover) in that team's color to identify which team they are watching.[1]: 35 They award points for opponents passed by their jammer,[1]: 36 and signal whether theirs is the lead jammer.[15]: 29
Non-skating officials (NSOs) [ edit ]
NSOs take up a range of positions inside and outside the track, start and time the jams, record and display scores and penalties communicated by referees, record the number of each skater on track for a given jam, and time and record skaters in the penalty box.
Type Number Responsibility Scorekeepers 2 Record points scored by jammers.[1]: 36 Penalty Trackers 1 (min) Trackers record each skater's penalties[1]: 36 and notify the head referee of skaters in the current jam who are in danger of fouling out.[1] Penalty Box Manager 1 The manager is the head of the affairs within the penalty box. The manager can call penalties for penalty box violations or illegal procedures (such as removing the helmet in the penalty box). Also, the manager points where the player is assigned to sit, times the jammers, and executes any necessary jammer swap.[ citation needed ] Penalty Box Timers 2 (min) Penalty box timers ensure skaters sent to the penalty box serve their entire penalties,[1]: 36 and notify referees if any do not.[1] Jam Timer 1 The jam timer starts jams, signals when a jam runs to the full two minutes, times the 30 seconds between jams,[1]: 36 and calls an official timeout if the teams are not ready to start a new jam at the end of that interval. Inside Whiteboard 1 This NSO maintains a whiteboard in the center of the track that shows each skater's accumulated penalties.[1]: 36 Lineup 2 This NSO records every player on the track in each jam[1]: 5 Scoreboard Operator 1 This NSO updates each team's score after every scoring pass.[1]: 36
History [ edit ]
Professional endurance races [ edit ]
Two women's league roller derby skaters leap over two who have fallen in a March 1950 bout in New York City
The growing popularity of roller skating in the United States led to the formation of organized multi-day endurance races for cash prizes, as early as the mid-1880s.[30][31][32] Speed and endurance races continued to be held on both flat and banked tracks in the century's first three decades[33] and spectators enjoyed the spills and falls of the skaters.[34][35] The term derby was used to refer to such races by 1922.[36][note 3]
The endurance races began to transform into the contemporary form of the sport in the mid-1930s, when promoter Leo Seltzer[note 4][note 5] created the Transcontinental Roller Derby, a month-long simulation of a road race between two-person teams of professional skaters.[39] The spectacle became a popular touring exhibition.[40][41] In the late 1930s, sportswriter Damon Runyon persuaded Seltzer to change the Roller Derby rules to increase skater contact.[39] By 1939, after experimenting with different team and scoring arrangements, Seltzer's created a touring company of four pairs of teams (always billed as the local "home" team versus either New York or Chicago),[42] with two five-person teams on the track at once, scoring points when its members lapped opponents.[43]
Television [ edit ]
On November 29, 1948, before television viewership was widespread, Roller Derby debuted on New York television.[44]:89 The broadcasts increased spectator turnout for live matches.[45] For the 1949–1950 season, Seltzer formed the National Roller Derby League (NRDL), comprising six teams.[46][44]:95 NRDL season playoffs sold out Madison Square Garden for a week.[46] During the late 1950s and 1960s, the sport was broadcast on several networks, but attendance declined. Jerry Seltzer (Leo's son), the Roller Derby "commissioner", hoped to use television to expand the live spectator base. He adapted the sport for television by developing scripted story lines and rules designed to improve television appeal, but derby's popularity declined.[44]
1989 saw the debut of RollerGames, an even more theatrical variant of roller derby for national audiences. It used a figure-8 track and rules adapted for this track. Bill Griffiths, Sr. served as commissioner while his son, Bill Griffiths, Jr., managed the L.A. T-Birds, who (according to the storyline) were seeking revenge on the Violators (led by Skull) for cheating in the Commissioner's Cup. The other teams included the Maniacs (led by Guru Drew), Bad Attitude (led by Ms. Georgia Hase), the Rockers (led by DJ Terringo and consisting of skaters who were also professional rock and roll musicians), and Hot Flash (led by Juan Valdez Lopez). It ran one season, because some of its syndicators went bankrupt.
In 1999, TNN (now Spike TV) debuted RollerJam, which used the classic rules and banked oval track, but allowed inline skates (although some skaters wore traditional quad skates). Jerry Seltzer was commissioner for this version.

Amateur revival [ edit ]

Roller derby began its modern revival in Austin, Texas in the early 2000s as an all-female, woman-organized amateur sport.[48] By August 2006, there were over 135 similar leagues.[49] Leagues outside the U.S. also began forming in 2006, and international competition soon followed. There are over 2,000 amateur leagues worldwide[50] in countries including Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, France,[51] Brazil, New Zealand, Germany, Belgium, Finland, Norway,[52] Sweden,[53] Denmark,[54] Israel,[55] Singapore,[56][57][58] Dubai,[59][60] and Egypt.[61][62][63] In many international leagues, gear and equipment must be imported.[64] Roller derby's contemporary resurgence has been regarded as an aspect of globalization which demonstrates "the speed with which pop culture is now transported by highly mobile expatriates and social media, while also highlighting the changing role of women in many societies."[2]
Many roller derby leagues are amateur, self-organized and all-female[65] and were formed in a do-it-yourself spirit by relatively new enthusiasts.[66] In many leagues (especially in the U.S.), a punk[67][68] aesthetic and/or third-wave feminist[69] ethic is prominent.[70] Members of fledgling leagues often practice and strategize together, regardless of team affiliation, between bouts.[71] Most compete on flat tracks, though several leagues skate on banked tracks, with more in the planning stages.[72]
Each league typically features local teams in public bouts that are popular with a diverse fan base.[73] Some venues host audiences ranging up to 7,000.[74] Successful local leagues have formed traveling teams comprising the league's best players to compete with comparable teams from other cities and regions. In February 2012, the International Olympic Committee considered roller derby, among eight sports, for inclusion in the 2020 Olympic Games.[75][76]
In 2009, the feature film Whip It was based on roller derby and introduced viewers to its rules and culture. The WFTDA encouraged leagues to coordinate with promotions during the film's release to increase awareness of the leagues.[77] Corporate advertising has used roller derby themes in television commercials for insurance,[78] a breakfast cereal,[79] and an over-the-counter analgesic.[80]
Derby names [ edit ]

Most players in roller leagues skate under pseudonyms, also called "derby names" or "skater names." These typically use word play with satirical, mock-violent or sexual puns, alliteration, and allusions to pop culture. Referees use derby names as well,[82] often shown on the backs of their striped uniforms. Some players claim their names represent alter egos that they adopt while skating.[83]
Whether a team should skate under real names or derby names is sometimes debated.[84] Some derby names are obscene, and this attracts controversy among other skaters.[85]
Copying of derby names has attracted legal and sociological analysis as an example of indigenous development of property rights.[10] New players are encouraged to check derby names against an international roster to ensure they are not already in use.[81][86]
The names of roller derby events are also sardonic and convoluted—for example, Night of the Rolling Dead (Night of the Living Dead), Knocktoberfest (Oktoberfest), Spanksgiving (Thanksgiving), Seasons Beatings (Seasons Greetings), Grandma Got Run Over By a Rollergirl (Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer), Cinco de May-hem (Cinco de Mayo), and War of the Wheels (War of the Worlds).[87]
Safety [ edit ]
EMTs and others tend to an injured skater.
Roller derby is a contact sport, and injuries can occur. Superficial injuries include torn eyelashes and "fishnet burn", a stippled effect of falling while wearing fishnet hose.[88] However, torn ligaments, broken bones, and concussions also occur.[89][90][91]
Some leagues prominently display their injuries, to embellish the image of violence or machismo.[92][93] However, some skaters say the sport is reasonably safe if skaters take precautions.[94] The rules require appropriate medical professionals on-site at every bout,[1]:39 even if not required by laws or arena regulations. The WFTDA offers insurance for leagues in the United States with legal liability and accident coverage, but it recommends that skaters also carry their own primary medical insurance.[95]
Expansion [ edit ]
Although the early 2000s revival of roller derby was initially all-female, some leagues later introduced all-male teams and all-gender games; as of May 2013 there were over 140 junior roller derby programs in the United States, and many more around the world.[96]
The website FlatTrackStats compiles ratings of WFTDA teams, adjusting them after every bout based on how the actual score compares to the predicted score. The WFTDA's own Stats Repository has comparable information and often is updated at halftime of a bout.[97]
Roller derby bouts are now streamed online, and there is archived video of past bouts and tournaments. The WFTDA offers live streaming video of its tournaments at wftda.tv . Derby News Network ( www.DerbyNewsNetwork.com ) offered live streaming video and archived video including events outside the WFTDA.
FiveOnFive magazine covers roller derby and diverse aspects such as business, training, junior roller derby, and nutrition.[98]
Governance and organization [ edit ]
The largest governing body for the sport is the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA), with 397 full member leagues and 48 apprentice leagues.[11] WFTDA membership is a major goal of aspiring leagues.[99] Other associations support either coed or men-only derby; the largest organization supporting male roller derby is the Men's Roller Derby Association (MRDA).[100][101][102] Within the United States, the Junior Roller Derby Association governs play by those under 18. It modifies the WFTDA rules for minors, such as prohibiting hitting and accelerating into a block.[103] Some U.S. leagues decline affiliation with a national organization because they prefer local governance.[104][105]
USA Roller Sports (USARS) is recognized by the International Roller Sports Federation (FIRS) and the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) as the National Governing Body of competitive roller sports in the United States, including speed, figure, hockey, roller derby and slalom. WFTDA and USARS maintain a reciprocity agreement for insurance purposes.[106]
Outside the United States, many roller derby leagues enjoy support from their national skate federations, such as Skate Australia,[107] the British Roller Sports Federation,[108] and Roller Sports Canada.[109] In Europe, roller derby was recognized as a sport in Paris in 2010 by the Federation Internationale de Roller Sports (FIRS), which reports directly to the International Olympic Committee. As of 2017, FIRS has been accepted as the international rule set by the International Olympic Committee. Teams competed under the FIRS rules at The World Roller Games 2017 in Nanjing, China.[110] The former Canadian Women's Roller Derby Association worked with the American federation.[111]
Tournaments [ edit ]
Since 2006, the WFTDA has sponsored an annual championship. In 2008, it took the current "Big 5" format: four regional playoffs and a final championship tournament.[112] The WFTDA also recognizes eligible tournaments hosted by member leagues.[113] Internationally, the first Roller Derby World Cup took place in Toronto, Canada, in December 2011.[114] The second World Cup took place in Dallas, Texas, in December 2014.[115] Since 2012, USARS has held an annual Roller Derby National Championship. In 2017, FIRS and the USOC recognized USARS to participate in the Nanjing games.[110]
Social significance [ edit ]
Zaina Arafat asserts in Virginia Quarterly Review that roller derby defies heteronormativity and patriarchal standards. In Egypt, Arafat says, there are expectations that a woman will not show visible scars, will have an unblemished body for her husband, and will refrain from activities that may damage her body. She says roller derby in Egypt is subversive, as it acts as an indirect political statement.[116]
Carly Giesler states that skaters enact sexualities that create or reclaim an identity, and their role parodies "hegemonic scripts of sexuality" through the use of costumes, derby names and personas. Roller derby acts as a unique stage for female athletes, letting them rebut constraints society places on women and female athletes. Giesler argues that female sports objectifies them for the male gaze, but roller derby turns this on its head by disregarding gender roles and norms.[117]

Notes [ edit ]
a b Until 2019, the jammer also scored a point by passing the opposing jammer. There were 5 potential points per trip. ^ Before 2013, there were "major" and "minor" penalties, the former included any player's fourth penalty, and it was strategic for a key player to deliberately commit such a penalty when it would have least effect. ^ [36] "Roland Cloni of Akron, world's champion roller skater, who yesterday tried out the track in the Broadway armory, where the national roller skating derby will be held this week, asserted new world's records can be established for flat tracks. The derby will open tomorrow and run until Saturday." ^ [37][38] Sources disagree on whether it was Leo alone or with his brother, the skate maker Oscar Seltzer. ^ [37] "Roller derby has entertained the masses in one form or another since the 1930s, when brothers Leo and Oscar Seltzer conceptualized the idea of a skating contest on a Chicago restaurant tablecloth." | positive |

THE HEIGHTS - Some residents in the Heights woke up Monday morning to find that vandals had struck their vehicles.
"They just do it to be a nuisance. I don't think they get any other pleasure out of it than any other reason. There's nothing in there. They don't get into the van. They just do it to be a pain in the neck," said victim, Richard Brown.
Car after car it's the same scene -- broken windows. Heights residents had the joy of waking up to this Monday morning.
"It's pretty upsetting they have no respect for other peoples property. I don't know it's just upsetting," said Michael Stewart.
He thought his car was broken into.
"I came outside to go to work, I saw a giant hole in my window. I looked around; nothing was stolen and lady next door said a bunch of kids were driving around shooting BBs at cars," Stewart said.
Frustrated and annoyed residents started the repair process. Some windows were covered up by late morning. Others have yet to be discovered.
"It's pretty upsetting. They have no respect for other peoples' property," said Brown.
Residents believe it was someone with a BB gun having what they thought was fun. Police tell us more than a dozen cars were hit overnight.
Police are looking for suspects.

Tony Tost’s Depression-era series about strikebreaking in Iowa had me at hello but now, just four episodes into its freshman season, Damnation S01E04 is a God-damned near perfect hour-long.
In addition to an amazingly well-balanced Unity of Opposites perfectly pulling the story in all the right directions by forcing characters to make impossible choices, Damnation contains some of my favourite lines of dialogue all year.
Written by Michael D. Fuller (Rectify, Quarry) and directed by Rod Lurie (Hell on Wheels) The Emperor of Ice Cream sees negotiations commence between the farmers and the bank. While Preacher Seth does all he can to unite the striking farmers, his brother – strikebreaker Creeley does his damnedest to divide and conquer.
SARAH JONES COMMANDEERS DAMNATION S01E04
And yet with all the underhand politics, the skilled use of psychology, the shootings and the near-constant, heavenly bluegrass banjo delivered via vinyl on old gramophones or mesmerising Gospel/country slave songs, The Emperor of Ice Cream’s best scene lasts a New York minute. And it is reserved for the brilliant and beautiful Sarah Jones.
Her character, Amelia Davenport confronts newspaper editor and “dickless old fart” Burt Babbage for not printing the real strike news as he’s in cahoots with the bankers.
The dialogue is verbatim, but the slugs are my guesswork:
Amelia storms into Babbage’s office, followed by reporter DL Sullivan.
AMELIA
So, what’s your excuse – corruption, cowardice or just plain idiocy?
BABBAGE
And hello to you, little lady.
AMELIA
Why are you suppressing news of the farmers’ revolt?
BABBAGE
I simply print the news that’s worthy to print.
DL SULLIVAN
Amelia, please! Mr Babbage…
BABBAGE
Does your husband know you’re here?
AMELIA
Why, do you need him to protect you from me?
BABBAGE
Ha! Hardly.
AMELIA
You have a responsibility to tell the truth…
BABBAGE
I have a responsibility to sell papers, dear.
The farmers’ plight is just… sad.
It’s difficult enough for people to live
through an actual depression without being
subjected to its printed equivalent.
PAUSE as Amelia nods and looks around the office, thinking.
AMELIA
I grew up around men like you.
You have your nice suit and your expensive desk…
and six months after you’re dead
no one will ever remember you lived.
HOLD on Babbage’s mortified REACTION SHOT
AMELIA (CONT’D)
I look forward to forgetting you.
AMELIA exits the office.
And that, my friends, is closure!
Note how Babbage’s words – calling Amelia “little lady” and “dear” and reaction “Ha! Hardly” not only spur her on but also subconsciously make us root for her character.
Strong female characters don’t only come from Themyscira. Nor do they have to kick ass to be powerful. They just have to know their own minds. This short, calm scene is as satisfying as any feat I’ve seen Wonder Woman or Black Widow perform.
Of course, a lesser actress may not have done the scene justice, but get the writing right, and your TV show has a much better shot.
The moral of the story, if you wanna write strong female characters, watch Damnation S01E04 and learn.
If you wanna learn about world building for your TV show, watch the pilot and read this.
Damnation continues on Tuesdays on USA Network. | positive |

Australian Vaccination Network fights court order to change name
Updated
The Australian Vaccination Network (AVN), which is actually anti-vaccine, is fighting an order to change its name.
It claims to be a lobby and support group that promotes health choices.
But the New South Wales Fair Trading Department says that is misleading because it is, in fact, an anti-vaccination group.
New Zealand father Ian Williams has become the latest vocal campaigner in favour of vaccination.
He and his wife had not vaccinated their children, but then their son got a cut on his foot, and the situation became very serious.
"It took a stay of 24 hours in hospital for them to diagnose it was tetanus, because the spasms started getting worse and worse," he said.
"It's a terrible thing. Your whole body arches, your arms go up in the air."
Mr Williams says the vaccine controversy is difficult to navigate.
"It looks like, when you go into it, there's a whole lot of pros and cons, and there's a 50-50 argument," he said.
In reality, almost 100 per cent of doctors are pro-vaccine.
The Australian Vaccination Network sounds like an organisation that would agree with Mr Williams' views that vaccination is a life saver, but it does not.
In fact, it actively promotes the link between vaccination and autism, a theory that was debunked by the medical world 20 years ago.
The NSW Department of Fair Trading has ordered it to change its name, but the AVN is resisting the order in court.
The parties will be back in court on Friday.
New South Wales Opposition health spokesman and paediatrician, Dr Andrew McDonald, says the AVN's name is a serious problem.
"This is all about false advertising. The Australian Vaccination Network, a vehement anti-vaccination group, who are doing whatever they can to keep their name near the top of a Google search," he said.
"They're number two on a Google search if you use the words 'Australia' and 'vaccination' and that's why they want to preserve their name to keep it there."
AVN accused of attacking pro-vaccine campaigners
Journalist Jane Hansen has been heading up a recent campaign at Sydney's Sunday Telegraph designed to raise vaccination rates.
"Anyone who criticises the AVN - and this is journalists, politicians or even parents that have had sick children who have gone public with their views on vaccination - very quickly find themselves on the end of some pretty vile attacks," she said.
"They pride themselves on this all natural approach but there's no peace, love and lentils if you criticise them.
"They come at you, criticising you of being on the payroll of 'Big Pharma'."
Dr McDonald has also felt their sting.
"We've had the police around our office following and they've investigated threatening emails to this office," he said.
PM has contacted the founder of the AVN, Meryl Dorey, to respond to those allegations.
Dr McDonald says it is time for doctors to educate the community about the consequences of non-vaccination.
"The tragedy is that we are now seeing as much whooping cough as I did 30 years ago," he said.
"We've just had a major epidemic of measles in Campbelltown.
"Unless we improve our immunisation rates, we are at risk of future epidemics."

Price: $50-$75 If you haven’t heard of d’Arenberg, then you are missing out on some of the best Australian wine available. d’Arenberg was founded in 1912, and is one of Australia’s most renowned producers. The Dead Arm is their flagship wine. The name Dead Arm actually comes from a fungal disease that effects vines all over the world. The disease effects one half of the wine, basically reducing it to dead wood, The Dead Arm is that side of the vine. Most vineyards dig up these vines and start over. However d’Arenberg decided to harvest the fruit left on the other side, the side not destroyed. The vines are very low yield and the fruit is tiny and super concentrated. The vines are 80-120 years old and the grapes are harvested by hand. 98 Points Weekly Wine Journal The production: open top fermentation, the must is not plunged or pumped while fermentation takes place. Only after primary fermentation is the must pressed, and it is done so in the traditional way; by foot! After foot pressing, the wine is basket pressed and then transferred to oak barrels for over 20 months. Finally each barrel is assessed for its quality and only the best barrels are used to make the wine. The Dead Arm has received a ton of critical acclaim. In fact between 1996 and 2006 Robert Parker awarded this wine four 95 point ratings, three 96 point ratings and one 98 point rating. So how does the 2005 vintage stack up. At this point the only other vintage I have to compare it against is the 2003. I have to say that the ’05 is superior, even though they both received 95 points from Parker. First off the wine is BLACK. and I mean black. There is a fair amount of sediment present, nothing that a bit of decanting or a strainer can’t remedy. I think the prescense of sediment is actually a good thing, a foreshadowing. The nose is intense, full of black fruit, peppery, almost a tar or creosote like burn in the nostrils. Followed by hints of star anise. The palate is explosive. The first sip seemed to excite every single taste bud on my tongue, seemed to electrify my palate. I literally said “WOW!” out loud. Hands down the best Shiraz I’ve ever had. Not that I’ve had thousands, but I’ve been enjoying Australian Shiraz at different price points for over 20 years now and this is the creme de la creme. The palate consists of a subtle sour cherry liqueur which is then vaporized by a dark chocolate pepper and cigar smoke finish. The wine is not sweet, but there is a tiny element of ripe fruit intermingled in the palate. Parker in his review in 2007 said that this wine could benefit from 3-5 years of cellaring. Well it is 2011 now, 4 year later and the wine is still fairly astringent. This becomes noticeable later on after you have had a few glasses. It is such a concentrated powerful wine it almost hurts, almost, but it doesn’t. Another feature that is thankfully absent is the “Aussie fruit bomb” characteristic. It’s not a sweet jammy syrupy wine. It is dry, concentrated, complex and tannic, and extremely well balanced. If you are a pinot noir drinker, this wine will punish you, however if you are a fan of the bigger bolder, and drier wines I think this will be exactly what you are looking for.

Doing it to death: suicidal sex in ‘marsupial mice’
DIANA FISHER, CHRIS DICKMAN, MENNA JONES, SIMON BLOMBERG 8 OCT 2013
Image: badoo_tealeaf After mating, all male Antechinus die … but why?
Imagine if you only had one shot at passing on your genes before you died. It happens more often in the natural world than you might expect: suicidal reproduction – where one or both sexes of a species die after a single episode of mating – occurs in plants and some invertebrates including insects and spiders.
So what about mammals?
In a paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences today, we show why escalating stress hormones during the breeding season of some species of small insect-eating marsupials (but in no other mammals) cause immune system collapse, haemorrhaging, infections and death after mating in all males.
(In contrast to these “semelparous” species, most insectivorous marsupials in Australia, Papua New Guinea and South America are iteroparous, which means that they breed more than once during their lives.)
The lifespan of males after breeding varies between species. About a fifth of insectivorous marsupial species with known reproductive traits have this most extreme condition of complete male die-off through a mechanism of synchronised immune collapse, and comprise four Australian genera:
A different biological clock
These animals typically do not look very impressive and have sometimes been called “marsupial mice”; however, their behaviour and demography is impressive, and nothing at all like that of mice.
As well as dramatic death, these marsupials show extreme sexual behaviour and physiology. In the 12 species of Antechinus, pairs mate for up to 14 hours at a time and both sexes are very promiscuous.
Just before the mating season at 11 months old, something very peculiar and counter-intuitive happens to the reproductive physiology of these males.
Although they have never mated, they stop producing sperm and their testes disintegrate, so the animals must rely on sperm stored in their epididymis (a narrow, coiled tube).
The clock starts ticking for males, because the sperm they manufactured before their testes shut down starts to be lost in their urine. The frenzied mating season lasts only a couple of weeks, and males usually die before young are born.
The manner of synchronised suicide in males is quite horrible to see. Males lose their fur and can develop ulcerations and gangrene.
Biologists used to assume that these animals fight during the mating season but we now know they don’t. Despite the time pressure and rampant testosterone, overt contests between males are virtually absent, and they appear positively friendly towards one another.
In many Antechinus species, males huddle together in nests woven out of gum leaves in tree hollows – groups of both sexes share nests for most of the year.
By the end of the mating season males are active throughout the day, and physically disintegrating males may run around frantically searching for last mating opportunities, but by that time females are not surprisingly avoiding them.
Sperm competition
This situation, unsurprisingly, raises a lot of questions:
why don’t males fight?
why do they have this bizarre strategy of programmed suicidal reproduction?
why do they shut down sperm production before the mating season?
why do they show such extreme sexual behaviour?
why has this die-off strategy evolved multiple times in insectivorous marsupials but never in any other mammals?
We suspected that the answers to these questions are linked, because all of this is something to do with intense sperm competition.
Sperm competition is a form of post-mating sexual selection in which males compete with their sperm inside the female reproductive tract, rather than fighting to gain access to females.
Sperm competition in mammals is associated with having large testes with lots of sperm-producing tissue, and often also long mating times and mate-guarding.
Competition between males is expected to intensify as the time they have to mate declines, and females synchronise their period of sexual receptivity in time and space.
Australian researchers Tony Lee and Richard Braithwaite, authors of a seminal study published in The American Naturalist in the late 1970s, realised this when they proposed that the seasonality of food is the key factor in the evolution of suicidal reproduction in mammals.
They thought that these marsupials live in temperate (southern, high latitude) forests, where insects have a predictable peak of abundance at the same time every year, and meaning that females synchronise mating so that young are raised and weaned when this peak of food occurs.
Because even small marsupials have long periods of lactation (months, unlike ecologically analogous placental mammals), they can’t fit in a second litter. Braithwaite and Lee thought that males may as well compete to death to maximise the number of young that they father in the one brief mating season of the year.
Predicting peaks
To test these ideas about the intensity of male contests, the length of the mating season and the sperm competition mechanism, we analysed the habitats, food predictability, demography and reproductive traits of 52 species in 21 genera of insectivorous marsupials, including the four Australian semelparous genera.
We found that insect abundance in Australia, Papua New Guinea and South America shows more predictably synchronised seasonal peaks at higher latitudes than in the tropics at sites where insectivorous marsupials live, and this pattern is not just in forests but everywhere that these animals live.
We also found that seasonal predictability of insect abundance is associated with short, synchronised single mating seasons.
These results indicate that male competition is intensified by short mating seasons, which are driven by seasonal food availability and by the synchronisation of mating by females.
Simply put, competition shortens the life of males. Species with lower male survival (and in the most extreme cases, die-off accompanied by immune system collapse) have larger testes and long mating times, indicating sperm competition.
Mating to death
Small marsupials with suicidal reproduction in males “mate themselves to death” for an adaptive reason. It seems that shutting down sperm production before mating and foregoing any possible future reproduction in order to use all possible energy for mating gives these males an advantage in sperm competition.
Nature documentaries tend to attribute male death before offspring are born to altruistic paternal suicide to avoid food depletion. There are several reasons why this is wrong:
Natural selection acts at the level of individuals passing on their genes, not populations of males acting for the good of the species. The genes of males that die and forgo further reproduction for the benefit of young fathered by other males will be disadvantaged.
There is no mechanism in these species for males to advantage their own young (“kin selection”), because males range widely during the mating season and litters have several fathers.
Mothers do lose weight, but this is nothing to do with how much food they can find; rather, it’s likely to be due to constraints on the rate of converting food to milk. Mothers with unlimited food in captivity also lose weight.
Rather than altruism, individual sexual selection leads to apparent self-sacrifice in these mammals.
Our study suggests that males gain a reproductive advantage from death in a manner parallel to suicidal mating in some spiders such as redbacks, in which males that sacrifice themselves sire more of the female’s young.

Call 01756 649004 or email [email protected] Factsheets Employment and related matters It is a criminal offence to employ anyone who does not have an entitlement to work in the UK. We provide an overview of the documentation required to ensure that your business does not fall foul of the law. If you are an employer in the Skipton area we, at Crag and Co, can provide you with assistance or any additional information required. In line with the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006, it is a criminal offence to employ anyone who does not have an entitlement to work in the UK, or undertake the type of work you are offering. Any employer who does not comply with the law may face a fine of up to £20,000 per offence. Further, if employers knowingly use illegal migrant labour it could carry a maximum five year prison sentence and/or an unlimited fine. In addition, since December 2016, section 38 of the Immigration Act 2016 allows immigration officers to close a business for up to 48 hours if there is a reasonable suspicion that they employ foreign workers illegally and they have previously committed specific offences of illegal working. The closure notice might then be cancelled or an illegal working compliance order could be sought, one result of which could be closure of the premises for up to 12 months. Here we provide an overview of the documentation required to ensure that your business does not fall foul of the law. The rules The increasing trend of illegal immigrants entering the UK has led to a rise in forged documentation, as well as grounds for certain employers to take advantage of cheap labour. To combat this, the Home Office reviewed the law in this area and regulations were introduced on 1 May 2004. Documentation requirements Right to work checks have been temporarily adjusted due to coronavirus (COVID-19). This is to make it easier for employers to carry them out. As of 30 March 2020 the following temporary changes have been made: checks can now be carried out over video calls job applicants and existing workers can send scanned documents or a photo of documents for checks using email or a mobile app, rather than sending originals employers should use the Employer Checking Service if a prospective or existing employee cannot provide any of the accepted documents Checks continue to be necessary and you must continue to check the prescribed documents of any one or combination of the original documents included in List A or List B (Group 1 and 2). It remains an offence to knowingly employ anyone who does not have the right to work in the UK. Because of COVID-19, some individuals may be unable to evidence their right to work. During this period, you must take extra care to ensure no-one is discriminated against as a job applicant or employee because they are unable to show you their documents. An employer must obtain and retain a certified copy of any one, or combination of the original documents included in List A or List B (Group 1 and 2). Those validated from List A will require no further checks, however, documents provided from List B must be followed up when the document or notice expires. List A an ID Card or British passport identifying the holder is a British citizen; or an ID Card or European Economic Area (EEA) national passport or national identity card identifying the holder as a national of the EEA or Switzerland; or a registration certificate or document certifying permanent residence issued by the Home Office to a national of an EEA country or Switzerland; or a permanent residence card issued by the Home Office or Border and Immigration Agency to a family member of a national of a EEA country or Switzerland; or a current Biometric Immigration Document (Biometric Residence Permit) issued by the Home Office indicating their right to stay indefinitely in the UK or has no time limit on their stay; or a current passport endorsed to show the holder is exempt from immigration control, is allowed to stay indefinitely in the UK or has no time limit on their stay. or a combination of the following: An official document giving the person’s permanent national insurance number and name, plus a current immigration status document issued by the Home Office with an endorsement indicating that the person named in it can stay indefinitely in the UK, or has no time limit on their stay; or a full UK birth certificate or a birth certificate issued in the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, or Ireland; or a full adoption certificate issued in the UK which includes the name(s) of at least one of the holder’s adoptive parents; or an adoption certificate issued in the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, or Ireland; or a certificate of registration or naturalisation stating that the holder is a British citizen. List B Group 1 a current passport endorsed to show that the holder is able to stay in the UK and is allowed to do the work in question provided it does not require the issue of a work permit; or a current Biometric Immigration Document issued by the Home Office which indicates that the holder is able to stay in the UK and is allowed to do the work in question; or a current residence card (including an Accession Residence Card or a Derivative Residence Card) issued by the Home Office to a family member of a national of a EEA country or Switzerland; or a current Immigration Status Document issued by the Home Office with an endorsement indicating that the person named in it can stay in the UK and this allows them to do the type of work you are offering when produced in combination with an official document, giving the person’s permanent national insurance number and name issued by a Government agency or previous employer. List B Group 2 A Certificate of Application issued by the Home Office to a family member of a national of a EEA country or Switzerland stating that the holder is permitted to take employment which is less than six months old, when produced in combination with a Positive Verification Notice from the Home Office Employer Checking Service; or An Application Registration Card issued by the Home Office stating that the holder is permitted to take employment, when produced in combination with a Positive Verification Notice from the Home Office Employer Checking Service; or A Positive Verification Notice issued by the Home Office Employer Checking Service to the employer or prospective employer, which indicates that the named person may stay in the UK and is permitted to do the work in question. The points-based system The Government has introduced a merit-based points system for assessing non-EEA nationals wishing to work in the UK. The system consists of five tiers, each requiring different points. Points will be awarded to reflect the migrant's ability, experience, age and when appropriate the level of need within the sector the migrant will be working. The five points-based system tiers consist of: Tier 1 Highly-valued skilled workers with exceptional talent, for whom no job offer or sponsoring employer is required (for example, doctors, scientists and engineers); Tier 2 Skilled individuals with a proven English language ability who have a job offe, to fill gaps in the UK labour force (for example, nurses, teachers and engineers); Tier 3 (currently suspended) Low skilled workers filling specific temporary labour shortages (for example, construction workers for a particular project); Tier 4 Students; from outside the EEA, who wish to study in the UK. Tier 5 Contains six sub-tiers including: youth mobility and temporary workers (for example, musicians coming to play in a concert). Sponsorship You will usually need a sponsor licence to employ someone to work for you from outside the UK. This includes citizens of the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland who arrived in the UK after 31 December 2020. This includes unpaid work, like running a charity. You will not need a licence to sponsor certain groups, for example: Irish citizens those with settled or pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme those with indefinite leave to remain in the UK. Types of licence The licence you need depends on whether the workers you want to fill your jobs are: 'Workers' - for those with long-term job offers 'Temporary workers' You can apply for a licence covering one or both types of worker. Worker licence A 'Worker' licence will let you employ people long-term or permanently. It is split into: Skilled Worker - the role must meet the job suitability requirements Intra-company visas - this includes Intra-company Transfer and Intra-company Graduate Trainee, for multinational companies which need to transfer established employees or graduate trainees to the UK Minister of Religion - for people coming to work for a religious organisation Sportsperson - for elite sportspeople and coaches who will be based in the UK. Temporary Worker licence A 'Temporary Worker' licence will let you employ people on a temporary basis. It's split into: Creative or Sporting Worker - to work as a high-level sportsperson (up to one year), entertainer or artist (up to two years) Charity Worker - for unpaid workers at a charity (up to one year) Religious Worker - for those working in a religious order or organisation (two years) Government Authorised Exchange Worker - work experience (one year), research projects or training, for example practical medical or scientific training (two years) to enable a short-term exchange of knowledge International Agreement Worker - where the worker is coming to do a job which is covered by international law, for example employees of overseas governments Seasonal Worker - for those coming to the UK for up to six months to do farm work. Fees for sponsorship (licences and certificates) will continue to apply in the same way as they do now. Fees for a sponsor licence depends on the size of the company and the route they apply under. For example, under the Skilled Worker route, for small and charitable organisations the fee is £536; for medium or large business the fee is £1,476. Employers who sponsor non-EU migrant workers under Tier 2 (General) and (IntraCompany Transfer) will be required, as now, to pay the Immigration Skills Charge (ISC), unless a specific exemption applies. Employers must pay £1,000 per skilled worker for the first 12 months, with an additional £500 charge for each subsequent six-month period. Under the Points-Based System the ISC is applied to sponsoring employers in respect of both EU and non-EU migrant workers. Discounted rates of £364 per sponsored worker per year will apply as they do now to charities and Small and Medium Enterprises. Identity cards Identity cards for foreign nationals are currently issued to some categories of foreign nationals from outside the EEA and Switzerland. Other immigration applicants continue to receive a sticker (vignette) in their passport. With effect from 1st January 2014, EEA nationals from Bulgaria and Romania who wish to work in the UK no longer need an accession worker card or registration certificate. Since July 2013, EEA nationals from Croatia were able to move and reside freely in any EU State. However, the UK is applying transitional restrictions and as such, Croatians wishing to work in the UK will need to obtain an accession worker authorisation document (permit to work). Before starting employment, employers will need to make document checks to confirm if the Croatian has unrestricted access to the UK labour market as they are exempt from work accession or they hold a valid work authorisation document allowing them to carry out the type of work in question. If you are licensed to sponsor skilled workers or students from outside the EEA or Switzerland under the points-based system, you can use a migrant's identity card - which provides evidence of the holder's nationality, identity and status in the UK - to check their right to work or study here. The Immigration and Social Security Co-ordination (EU Withdrawal) Act 2020 ended free movement between the EU and the UK on 31 December 2020 (11pm). This means that EEA and Swiss nationals (and their families) arriving in the UK from 1 January 2021 onwards will do so under UK immigration laws and not under EU free movement. There is a grace period of six months which began immediately after the end of the transition on 31 December 2020 and will end with the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) application deadline of 30 June 2021. Right to work checks for EEA nationals will not change until after 30 June 2021. Until then, EEA nationals can use their passport or national identity card to evidence their right to work. Checking procedures The following checks must also be carried out to ensure that each document also relates to the prospective employee in question: ensure that any photograph and date of birth is consistent with the appearance of the individual if more than one document is produced, ensure that the names on each are identical. Otherwise further explanation and proof will be necessary (for example, a marriage certificate) check expiry dates. Follow-up checks must be conducted on the expiry date. When a Certificate of Application or an Application Registration Card is presented as evidence as right to work, or the employee has no acceptable documents because they have an outstanding application to the Home Office or appeal against an immigration decision, the follow-up verification check is required six months after the date of the initial check carry out ongoing checks on individuals who joined on or after 29 February 2008 and who have been granted only limited leave to remain and work in the UK take copies of original documents only - sign and date to certify before employing an individual who requires a tier 2 visa, be prepared to demonstrate that a recruitment search has been carried out according to the requirements under tier 2 of the points-based system where a recruitment agency is used to recruit an overseas national, ask the agency to prove that it has carried out all the necessary checks on the individual to ensure that he or she has the right to work in the UK. To ensure that there is no discrimination, it is recommended that all potential employees are asked to produce original documents indicating they have the right to work in the UK. If you have any doubts as to whether documents are genuine or sufficient to prove an employee’s entitlement to work in the UK you are encouraged to access the Employer Checking Service, which is provided through the Home Office's Employers’ Helpline: 0300 1234 699, or online service www.gov.uk/employee-immigration-employment-status.

Handmade Happiness : July 2009 Handmade Happiness The blog celebrating all things made by hand and random thoughts and observations by Jenny. More on Instagram @jenny_handmade_happiness email: [email protected] Thursday, 30 July 2009 Tricot Too this week Posted by jenny at 07:44 No comments: Dolls Before Posted by jenny at 07:32 No comments: Made more Buttons Posted by jenny at 07:30 No comments: Tuesday, 28 July 2009 The Busy Bee Posted by jenny at 10:45 No comments: Work Update You might be forgiven for thinking that Jenny never does any work she just potters about taking photographs of her garden. But actually dear reader you aren't taking into account the thinking time I do! Every project and new design needs thinking about, writing about, maybe sketching in my notebook.Then I make it and if it doesn't turn out the way I envisaged it I need to make it again, and maybe even again until I am satisfied with it. At this moment I am thinking about work for a shop, a gallery and Petersfields' Artists exhibition which is at the end of August. I also need to make more jewellery for Tricot Too and then there are the individual orders that I have a list of waiting to be made, sent and crossed off the list. I know I have a lovely life, doing what I love to do. But it isn't all pottering about in the garden watching bees...well ok some of it is! Posted by jenny at 09:58 1 comment: Favourite things My daughter Amy has just been in California for three weeks. She brought back Hersheys kisses. I actually banned myself from ever buying chocolate again while she was away in my efforts to get bikini thin this summer (lol) But she didn't know this and anyway receiving chocolate as gifts doesn't count -does it? She also bought me this very pretty candle. She knows my taste so well. Thank you Amy! Posted by jenny at 09:56 No comments: Monday, 27 July 2009 Colour in the Garden Posted by jenny at 08:27 No comments: Saturday, 25 July 2009 Bakery Lane market take two Today was quiet in Bakery Lane, Petersfield. Perhaps everyone had gone to the beach. This is my display. The flowers and veg are from my garden picked early this morning. The textile jewellery is sold by Tricot Too. Anyone who expresses an interest in it is directed there. The morning was so slow that if it hadn't been for Jenny selling silver plated cutlery made into jewellery moving her stall closer to mine so we could chat I think I would have gone mad. Luckily I made some sales in the afternoon. Few stall holders were there today but I guess that in the Christmas run up that little alleyway will be packed full of hopeful sellers. Posted by jenny at 18:59 1 comment: Tuesday, 21 July 2009 Poppies from the past Today I had a nice surprise. When I knew I'd be moving from my last house I collected seeds from the lovely poppies that bloomed there every year. Last year I sprinkled some of these from the jam jar onto the new garden. There are lots of red flowers but the two at the top, I think you'll agree, are very special. Does anybody know what they are called? This year I'll make sure to just gather seeds from the top two plants and label their envelopes for more of the same for next year. Just off to tie ribbons under the flowers to remind myself of where they are. Posted by jenny at 13:01 No comments: Beautiful Box Just looking at this beautiful old French box of soaps is inspirational - n'est pas? Posted by jenny at 12:49 No comments: Monday, 20 July 2009 Green risotto A supper from the garden for my daughter Sophie and I. Homemade mushroom and onion risotto with this lot steamed then stirred in. Lettuce not steamed of course, lettuce just on the side. Pictured on the plate from top clockwise are sprouting broccolli, broad beans, runner beans, more broad beans and lettuce. After talking to a friend about life in recession-hit Britain and what we can do about it, we had the idea of selling produce we have grown alongside products we have made. So if there are any vegetables or flowers left in the garden by next weekend you'll see them on my stand in Bakery Lane, Petersfield this Saturday, July 25th! Posted by jenny at 09:13 1 comment: Friday, 17 July 2009 Papayaart.com postcards My daughter just sent me these intriguing collage postcards from Calilfornia. www.papayaart.com I wonder if they are sold in the UK? Posted by jenny at 09:36 No comments: Tuesday, 14 July 2009 What happened to my blue hydrangea? Last year I planted a hydrangea bush of the intensest blue. This year it is reverting to the more normal pink. Older peoples' wisdom (opw) is to bury rusty(?) nails in the soil alongside it to keep it blue.

Actually if she doesn't sell quickly I might have to keep her. She's a bit special. But Elsie, Arthur, Wilbur and Flower are special too - click on the link to see for yourself! Posted by jenny at 08:09 No comments: Sunday, 12 July 2009 New style dolls Yesterday I made six wire armatures for dolls . These will be 'fashion dolls' - very different from my usual dolls. I am aiming to have these on sale at my next event on Saturday July 25th in Bakery Lane, Petersfield. Posted by jenny at 09:31 1 comment: Thinking time This statue is in Southampton. Look at the child being a continuation of the mother's body form. And the strength in the mother's torso. Why do I think it's of a mother? The statue could equally well be of a father and his child. It's simple, direct and pleasing. Simple things are pleasing. So why does life seem so complicated at times? Perhaps life is always simple but we over-complicate situations by thinking too much about them! I am thinking a lot at the moment. These are hard economic times and people are being forced to make changes in their lives. How are you surviving the recession and have you had to change the way you live your life?

Millions of people already consider Pandora the best way to discover new music. You create a station starting with an artist you like, and the site follows that up with songs sharing similar characteristics. You indicate whether you like or don't like a song, and the station gets smarter from there.
The downside to this approach is that you take what you get, and to a certain extent, you're limited by what you know. You may like a station based on someone you've never heard of, but you've never heard of them to create the station.
That's why Pandora is introducing a new Browse section that lets you look through recommended artists and stations. This area still pulls from your history of likes and dislikes, but it aims to add spice for listeners who may find themselves in a rut.
The feature is launching today for iOS users in Australia, New Zealand, and the US. Pandora says Android support is coming soon. | positive |

At this point I can safely assume that everyone has heard of the Ebola virus disease (EVD) or Ebola haemorrhagic fever (EHF) that is out of control in Western African countries such as Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea and with a few cases of infected people in several other African, European countries and the United States of America.
As I read news from around the world I can’t stop feeling that there must be something I could be doing. I know I don’t have the qualifications or the experience to go fight this on the front line or even in the hospitals and between you and me, I’m glad I can’t go because I would be terrified.
Fortunately for all of us there are people brave enough to face this horrible threat and there is something that we, the “ordinary” people, can do to help.
Here I compiled a list of all the non-governmental organisations currently in the affected Western African countries that are helping the governments and locals deal with this epidemic.
Here’s what YOU can do:
Donate to the organisation(s) of your choice (see list below).
Send them an e-mail thanking them for their effort.
See if any of your local organisations are helping with the cause and volunteer.
Create petitions and/or contact your local representative to request their help to send funds, material or food to countries struggling.
Raise awareness by sharing this list.

Bruno Ecuele Manga of Cardiff City heads to score the opening goal
Cardiff City kept apace with the race for the Championship play-offs as they overcame fellow top-six hopefuls Ipswich.
The hosts edged an even first half as Bruno Ecuele Manga's firm header put them 1-0 ahead at the break.
There were half-chances for both sides in the second half, though Cardiff held on for a comfortable victory.
Despite a third win from four matches, the Bluebirds stay seventh in the table and a point behind the play-off places.
Sheffield Wednesday's victory at Nottingham Forest means the Yorkshire club retain sixth spot, though Cardiff's win against Ipswich does open up a three-point gap between Russell Slade's men and their rivals in eighth.
Both sides pushing hard
Both teams started the day a point outside the play-off places having slipped up in midweek, Cardiff losing to Leeds and Ipswich conceding a late equaliser at Bolton.
There was a sense that something had to give as, while Cardiff boasted the second best home record in the Championship, Ipswich's tally of 28 points on the road was bettered only by Burnley's 29.
Stuart O'Keefe fires at goal for Cardiff
The two sides looked well matched in the early exchanges before Cardiff took an 18th-minute lead as Ecuele Manga met Peter Whittingham's fine outswinging corner with a powerful header which flew past Bartosz Bialkowski.
Although Whittingham continued to pepper Ipswich's penalty area with inviting crosses, genuine scoring opportunities were at a premium for the rest of the first half.
Ipswich enjoyed more possession after the restart, though Cardiff could have doubled their advantage as Scott Malone's left-footed strike fizzed narrowly over and Whittingham had a free-kick comfortably saved.
Freddie Sears seemed Ipswich's likeliest source of a goal as one of his low shots blocked by Matt Connolly, though Cardiff were seldom under serious pressure.
The home side missed another chance to put the result beyond doubt when Anthony Pilkington's header was tipped over by Bialkowski, but it mattered not as Cardiff stayed in touch with the Championship's promotion contenders.
Cardiff City boss Russell Slade: "It was a big win for us. I'm not a great believer in six-pointers because you can never do that, but the three points are huge for us at this moment in time.
"It's about the results at this time. We had a fantastic game against Leeds and collected nothing for our efforts but, here, it was a different type of game, that asked different questions, against a really direct, efficient side who asked real questions of us.
"Ipswich are probably the best at grinding out a result in this league and we have done it to them.
"I'm proud, we've done that, that we've been ugly. It was not pretty, we were fighting."
Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy: "I feel frustration because there's nothing in the game except for one corner kick.
"It's a great cross and great header for the goal, but he (Manga) should not get a free header in our box.
"We've not done enough to win it, but we should have defended better and got a 0-0 draw. I was settling for a horrible, turgid game and I thought we might nick it from a corner, but it's ended up the other way.
"We've got two home games and we really need to win them to get back in the mix. But there are no mugs in this league and they will be difficult games." | positive |

Arlington, Texas police fatally shot a 19-year-old college student that they claim broke into a car dealership early Friday morning but some members of the dead man's family find the police version of the story hard to believe.
According to the Star-Telegram, around 1 a.m. police were notified of a burglary in progress at a GMC Classic Buick dealership. Police claim that a security company dialed in emergency help after they witnessed the suspect using his car to crash through the dealership's showroom window.
“The officers went and confronted him. There was an altercation. An officer discharged his weapon and struck the suspect,” Rodriguez told the Star-Telegram.
The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office identified him Friday afternoon as 19-year-old Christian Taylor. Taylor was a sophomore at Angelo State University and a member of the football team. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Rodriguez added that Taylor was unarmed when he was shot.
Police identified the officer involved in the shooting as 49-year-old Brad Miller, a recent graduate of the academy, who was working under the supervision of a training officer at the time of the shooting. Miller has been placed on administrative leave.
"We're having two independent investigations — a criminal and administrative," Rodriguez said. "As an agency, we take the loss of any human life as serious, but we owe it to our community to conduct a clear and transparent investigation to determine what exactly took place."
Clyde Fuller, Taylor's great uncle, told the Star-Telegram that the story that is being described doesn't add up. He said his great nephew was set to return to college and that he excelled at football.
"He was a good kid. I don't see him stealing no car or nothing like that," Fuller said.
"I think something is going on that somebody is lying about," Fuller told the Star-Telegram. "...They say he's burglarizing the place by running up in there? Nuh-uh. Something doesn't sound right."
Rodriguez told the newspaper that the officers are in the process of receiving body cameras but they don't have them yet and as such, officer Miller was not wearing one during the shooting.
He added that there are several security cameras in the dealership but they haven't found footage that shows the incident clearly.
"We are looking at all available video from outside and inside the location to obtain as much information as possible," Rodriguez said.

Newsround – 24th to 30th October 2020 – Northants birds Skip to content Menu Home Optics Northamptonshire Bird Report Privacy Policy Links About Birding Location Maps Checklist & Recording County Recorder Contact Latest Reports Talks Northants birds Bird news and more Newsround – 24th to 30th October 2020 Posted on October 31, 2020 October 31, 2020 by Mike Alibone Unseasonally high temperatures borne out of prolonged and blustery south-westerlies resulted in little change to the birdscape … unless, of course, you were a golfer. Only time will surely tell but it’s looking like at least seven Pink-footed Geese have opted for Hollowell Res as a favoured wintering area this year and if the female Ruddy Shelduck follows last year’s tack she, too, looks set to remain there into the winter months. Another Pink-footed Goose was seen flying west with a sizeable flock of Greylags over Ecton SF on 30th. This week also saw the arrival of a number of Red-crested Pochards at three localities, with five visiting Summer Leys LNR on 27th, eight at Pitsford on 28th increasing to fifteen the following day and at least eleven still present on 30th. A drake was also at Stanwick GP on the last of these dates. Red-crested Pochards, Pitsford Res, 30th October 2020 (Doug Goddard) Over the years, the number of scarce and rare birds found on golf courses is legend – a prime example in more recent times appearing in the shape of an invitingly attractive Cream-coloured Courser – an apt name, if ever there was – at Herefordshire’s Kington GC, in May 2012, many local birders making the trip to see it. While Northants is unable to lay any comparable claims, what appears to have been a flock of five Glossy Ibises flying south-west over Kingsthorpe GC, last week, on the morning of 22nd, almost qualifies at a local level. Appearing at the height of a late autumn influx, which saw up to forty across southern Britain, including a flock of five in Hampshire on 20th, they would constitute the 6th county record, if accepted. Perhaps more of us should take up golf … Great Egret, Pitsford Res, 30th October 2020 (Tony Stanford) Back down to earth, up to six Cattle Egrets remained at Stanwick throughout, while Great Egrets maxed out with four at Hollowell on 26th and between one and two were seen at each of seven further localities. There was only one sighting of the wandering red wing-tagged juvenile female Marsh Harrier this week – again at Summer Leys on 26th. Juvenile female Marsh Harrier, Summer Leys LNR, 26th October 2020 (Paul Lawrence) In a the first waderless week for months and with only gulls to fall back on, Summer Leys also produced a Mediterranean Gull on 30th, the same date an adult Caspian Gull was found at Hollowell, the latter site also producing a Yellow-legged Gull on 26th and 30th, while another was also in the gull roost at Stanford Res on the first of these two dates. Back over at Stanwick, a Jackdaw showing characteristics of the nominate race monedula – a white collar worker from Scandinavia, colloquially know as Nordic Jackdaw – appeared among around one thousand ‘regular’ Jackdaws on 30th. The last one reported locally was at Stanford on Avon in February. Female Stonechat, Stanford Res, 28th October 2020 (Chris Hubbard) Male Stonechat, Pitsford Res, 30th October 2020 (Doug Goddard) Stanwick was also one of five sites to hold between one and three Stonechats, with a further site, Hollowell, claiming the week’s maximum of five on 28th.

Sam Harris has apparently grown weary of what he considers ill-informed attacks on his book The Moral Landscape and its central thesis, that science can be used to definitively determine whether something is “right” or “wrong” morally. So weary, in fact, he’s willing to shell out his own cash and endure a public humiliation if he’s taken down.
On his website, he writes:
Anyone who believes that my case for a scientific understanding of morality is mistaken is invited to prove it in 1,000 words or less. (You must refute the central argument of the book—not peripheral issues.) The best response will be published on this website, and its author will receive $1,000. If any essay actually persuades me, however, its author will receive $10,000, and I will publicly recant my view.
And it didn’t stop there, because in an update, he tells us that a reader has put up a matching pledge, so those totals are now doubled.
Now, I’m a fan of Harris’s, and I pretty much bought hook, line, and sinker his whole Moral Landscape kit and caboodle. But I’m also a little hard-up, so maybe I should take even a disingenuous stab at pulling the intellectual rug out from under him, just to see if I can score some dough. Ah, who am I kidding? | positive |
China, the world’s most populous country, is used to superlative status. But a global study on Internet usage put the country in an unfamiliar position: last place. The Freedom on the Net 2015 report by American watchdog Freedom House found that even Internet users in Syria, Iran and Cuba had more unfettered online access than Chinese did. (North Korea wasn’t included in the ranking.)
Around half of Chinese are hooked up online — the world’s largest online population — but their Internet is very different from the one accessed by most other people in the world. A censorship apparatus that employs hundreds of thousands blocks content that is deemed politically or socially sensitive. Google, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram and a host of major political and media websites are regularly banned within China’s borders. A recent crackdown on political debate has resulted in a neutered online space — who wants to download an activist tract or forward a political joke when it could get you detained?
Over the past year the Chinese government has also pushed foreign (and domestic) tech companies to essentially allow for official surveillance of their users’ online data and actions. At the same time, online research groups have traced cyberattacks on Western media and tech-freedom sites to China, meaning that Beijing appears intent to export overseas its cloistered Internet. All these factors led to China dropping three places from last year’s Freedom House survey to this year’s dead-last position.
The bad news documented by Freedom House is only half of the story. Chinese tech companies have thrived in recent years, their stock-market valuations sometimes rivaling those of their Western counterparts. In part because some foreign tech firms are blocked from operating in China, local companies have gobbled up market share. They have also created innovative, user-friendly products and platforms that have transformed China into a center of ecommerce. Taobao, WeChat, Baidu — these are major tech forces.
Still, it’s hard for China to fully integrate globally if its Internet is cleaved from the rest of the world’s. This story, written from Shanghai, could not be loaded onto WordPress, even when using a virtual private network (VPN), an often costly tech tool used to try to vault the Great Firewall. On occasion, Chinese factory owners cannot access their overseas orders because Gmail accounts don’t load. Chinese who once studied abroad cannot connect with foreign friends because Western social media is banned. At a time when China wants to accelerate its economy by promoting innovation, these online shackles and blinders are bad for business. And, as Freedom House documents, China’s online sphere is moving further away from the global ideal. The world’s most restrictive Internet nation: that’s one superlative China shouldn’t want to win.

Relatively few people have seen Antarctica. A myth until the early 1800s, the ice-covered southern continent is difficult to get to and hostile to most life. But now, the MODIS Rapid Response System at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center is producing daily photo-like images of Antarctica. The images are valuable to scientists studying everything from ice to penguins, as well as to the crews of ships navigating through the southern ice pack.
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this composite image on January 27, 2009. Few features are visible on the ice-covered landscape. The surface appears rough where the Transantarctic Mountains curve in a shallow “s” from the shore of the Ross Sea to the Ronne Ice Shelf. The Polar Plateau in the center of the continent is smooth, shaded only by the faint shadow cast by clouds. The Weddell Sea is textured with chunks of sea ice.
Antarctica was enjoying summer when this image was taken. During the summer, sunlight shines on the continent constantly. Winter is dark. For this reason, MODIS can only image Antarctica during the summer. Flying on both the Aqua and Terra satellites, MODIS orbits the Earth from north to south, passing over Antarctica many times every day. This mosaic image of Antarctica was created from data collected on various overpasses throughout the day. Each overpass is a pie-shaped wedge in the image.
More information about the daily mosaic is available from the MODIS Rapid Response System’s Antarctica Project Page.

Ja Rule.
Fyre Festival, how do lawyers love thee? Let us count the ways: seven, in total. In addition to six other lawsuits filed against the festival alleging things like fraud, negligence, and false representations, a brand-new lawsuit has been filed in the wake of the music festival’s imbroglio against Ja Rule and co-founder Billy McFarland. Ja personally guaranteed a $3 million loan for the festival, New York–based EHL Funding LLC alleges, and he and his cohorts have stopped making payments. “While Ja Rule and others have paid back approximately $1 million, they stopped making payments after April 21,” according to “Page Six.” EHL says Ja Rule and McFarland agreed to make weekly payments until the debt is cleared. The suit was filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, and EHL seeks full repayment, interest, and legal fees, according to the Daily News. Ja Rule: not always there when EHL calls, and apparently not on time either. | positive |
There are 32 Olympic sports. Both you and I won't be competing in any of them during this month's Summer Olympics. But what if we could? Which events would it be possible to finish? In which would it be impossible?
Fourth-Place Medal took a look at the list of events in London and ranked all 32, from easiest to hardest. Our criteria was simple: How hard would it be to get through a single competition? Could you survive a 200 IM next to Michael Phelps? Is playing against LeBron James harder than Aleksandar Sapic, the Serbian water polo star? Theoretical success (or lack of it) is not taken into account. We're only looking at whether you could make it through.
Scroll to continue with content Ad
Notes: (1) If there are numerous events in a certain sport (like swimming and track), assume we're choosing one of medium difficulty and not the marathon. (2) In the eyes of the IOC, swimming, diving, water polo and synchronized swimming are all the same sport: Aquatics. We're not going by the IOC list, which is why we list 32 sports, not the 26 official ones recognized at the Olympics.
N/A -- Diving, gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, synchronized swimming, trampoline -- We're ranking sports, not judged activities. These five Olympic disciplines require intense training, athleticism and skill. So do ballet, flying in the Blue Angels and calligraphy. And how tough can it be to win a gymnastics medal anyway? Get China to forge a birth certificate, wink at some French judges and voila.
27. Table tennis -- It's cliche to poke fun at table tennis, so I won't go that route.
26. Weightlifting -- I moved a few weeks ago. Being unable to lift heavy things is not as difficult as it sounds.
25. Beach volleyball -- There's only one thing that's hard to do on the beach and it ain't volleyball.
Story continues
24. Shooting -- I'd call this guy a doofus but, you know, he's armed.
23. Badminton -- No such qualms with this dude.
22. Fencing -- Once you get to know a few pawn shop owners, it comes naturally.
21. Volleyball -- On the bright side, opponents are trying to find free space on the floor on which to land their spikes.
20. Track -- Fall early, fake an injury and then have your dad help you the rest of the way. The Visa money will be rolling in in no time.
19. Cycling -- Track bikes have no brakes and the banks on the velodromes look tough to handle. So I searched for "is riding on a velodrome hard?" First hit says: "You can relax! Despite the way it looks and sounds, riding a track is relatively easy and a lot of fun. " Definitive proof! No. 19 it is.
18. Archery -- Any sport that allows competitors to wear that hat has to be ranked low. Also, I don't think the Apollo spaceships that went to the moon were as technologically advanced as these crossbows. Somewhere, on a page I'll never read, Katniss weeps.
17. Tennis --Sounds easy, until you have to return a 140-mph serve from Andy Roddick.
16 . Handball -- Throughout history, this event has been dominated by the Soviets/Russians and Yugoslavians/Croatians. That inherent toughness more than makes up for France winning the gold in 2008.
15. Field hockey -- The ball is hard and the sticks come at you. Plus, the skirt could be difficult for some men to pull off.
14. Soccer -- A football field is big so it'd be pretty easy to stay out of the action. And if the ball does come your way, just fall down clutching your shin. You'll fit right in.
13. Basketball -- You know who's really big and can barrel into you at full speed in order to draw a foul: Basketball players.
12. Boxing; 11. Wrestling; 10. Taekwondo -- If this seems too low for three sports that involve you getting hit in the face, you're probably right. But if you go full coward and submit immediately, it'll be over quickly. They can't punch you when you're on the ground, right?
9. Judo -- "A judo match is won by a score of ippon. Ippon can be scored by a clean, forceful throw; by holding the opponent mainly on his back for 30 seconds, [...] or by submission to a strangle." -- The Complete Book of the Olympics
8. Swimming -- Fifty-meter pools are much longer in person than they are on TV. They're even longer when you have to swim butterfly down to the other end.
7. Rowing -- They get mad if you sit there and don't row. And, sure, the coxswain seems like a cushy gig, but you have to yell loudly, keep in rhythm to call the strokes and if you screw up -- the rest of the crew has big sculls.
6. Modern Pentathlon -- The hardest part: Remembering which five sports to compete in. (Shooting, swimming, running, riding and fencing.)
5. Sailing -- This isn't like taking a booze cruise off Montauk. Those booms come out of nowhere.
4. Canoe/Kayak -- What you picture when you hear "canoe" or "kayak."
What "canoe" and "kayak" means at the Olympics:
3. Water polo -- They dunk you without warning and throw elbows like Bill Laimbeer. What goes on underwater stays underwater until it becomes a massive hematoma 48 hours later.
2. Triathlon -- A mile swim in the open water, followed by a 25-mile bike ride and a six-mile run. No snark, that's a lot of activity.
1. Equestrian -- Can you ride a horse? Me neither.

I figure it’s probably about 11 pm right now, depending on how precise Maxima is being and whether she means Sydney’s wakeup call is in 7 hours or (more likely) if that’s boots on the ground exercising. I’m not a morning exerciser. I keep trying to do it, and I don’t think I get enough sleep for it. Eventually about 11 am I will be sufficiently awake to attempt it, but 10 years ago, I regularly went to the gym at 11 pm. I don’t think I would have survived a stint in the military for numerous reasons. We’ll have to see how Sydney adapts.
I assume code levels don’t work unless everyone knows all of them, otherwise if you saw one you didn’t recognize you’d assume it was fake or a misprint or something. But who knows, maybe there are code levels so high even the existence of those code levels is classified. (Existence of aliens, Smurfs, and the lizard caucus, etc.) Presumably a folder containing something with classified code levels doesn’t get left on someone’s desk unsupervised all that often.
Maxima’s existence was classified to some extent after she joined the military. In a world that already knew about Supers, she was kind of a poorly kept secret, but being classified made accessing certain information about her more difficult, like her exact abilities or her whereabouts at any given moment. Now as the head of Arc-SWAT, she has pretty high clearance. There are still certain things she’s not privy to, but if it involves Atypical Resources, she knows nearly everything. And some of the things she doesn’t know, she can guess at, like if the government has a plan to take her out if she goes berserk. She’s had the “how would I fight me” thought many many times before already.
Happy almost Xmas for those of you who partake. For those who don’t… uh, buy yourself something nice anyway! It’s not like Santa Clause Xmas has anything to with Jesus Xmas. They’re just identically named holidays that take place on the same day.
Edit: One of the dangers of working at 600 dpi is overestimating the detail that comes through on the web sized version, so here is a better shot of the picture on Maxima’s shirt: Some of you will recognize this right away hopefully. Special thanks to @BadPhysics for helping me extract the red from the background. I don’t have a copy of Photoshop, which I imagine could have handled it, but it turns out GIMP has a Color to Alpha function that worked quite well.

Tasja Dowell allegedly stole a cellphone from an El Cerrito High School student on Nov. 5, 2015 and later posted selfies on the victim's cloud.
A woman who allegedly punched and robbed a high school student last month in El Cerrito and took selfies on the victim's stolen cellphone has been arrested after the photos were later used to identify her, police said.
Police said Tasja Dowell, 18, of Richmond, surrendered at the Martinez Detention Facility in connection with an incident that occurred on Central Avenue near Clayton Avenue on Nov. 5. At 12:42 p.m. that day, Dowell allegedly punched an El Cerrito High School student in the head, knocking her unconscious, after she refused to hand over her cellphone and backpack, according to police.
Dowell is suspected of taking those items, and later using the cellphone to take selfies that were uploaded into the victim's online cloud storage account, police said.
The victim recognized her assailant from those pictures, police said.
After releasing one of the photos and asking for the public's assistance in solving the case, police on Nov. 19 said they identified Dowell as a suspect and had a warrant out for her arrest. She was arrested this past Friday after turning herself in, police said.
Police said the case will soon be presented to the Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office for prosecution.

What’s a little nepotism to Democrats? Thursday. Tuesday is vote buying…
Via National Review:
North Carolina auditors called for “further legal review” of the way Democratic Senator Kay Hagan’s family used grant money awarded through the 2009 stimulus.
“Of particular concern were issues associated with potential conflicts of interest related to contracts awarded by the grantee to contractors during the execution of the grant projects,” says a memo written by staff at the state Department of Environment and Natural Resources and obtained by National Review Online.
The memo questions the propriety of “a number of transactions that appear to be executed between JDC Maufacturing, LLC, [a company co-owned by Senator Hagan’s husband, Chip] and companies controlled or managed by members of the same family.”
For instance, JDC Manufacturing hired a company managed by Tilden Hagan, Chip and Kay’s son, to work on the stimulus-funded energy project even though Tilden’s company was “not the low bidder on the project,” according to the memo.

Former National Security Adviser Susan Rice was supposed to testify Tuesday in front of the House intelligence committee but has postponed, according to reports confirmed by Breitbart News.
She was to testify in a closed hearing about her unmasking the identities of Trump campaign and transition team associates who were swept up in surveillance of foreign targets.
During that surveillance, Americans’ names are masked for moral, privacy, and legal reasons, but U.S. officials can request the unmasking of their identities through a formal process.
The House intelligence committee is looking into the issue of improper unmasking of campaign officials and politicians and have subpoenaed the NSA, CIA, and FBI for records related to Rice, former CIA Director John Brennan, and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power.
Several news outlets reported in March that Rice had unmasked members of Trump’s campaign and transition team members during that surveillance. A conversation between Russian Ambassador and former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn was illegally leaked to the Washington Post in February.
Rice originally told PBS that she “knew nothing” about unmasking. Later she acknowledged that she engaged in unmasking Trump officials but has insisted that it was not politically motivated and only did it when it related to national security matters.
This would have been the first time Rice testified since those reports that she unmasked Trump’s associates, although she has given interviews to MSNBC and other friendly outlets.
Rice recently told the New York Magazine that she believes this is an extension of her being targeted by the right since erroneously saying the September 2012 Benghazi attack was due to spontaneous protests, not a planned terrorist attack, and suggested her race and gender played a role.
Rice has already turned down testifying to the Senate Judiciary Committee, with her lawyer arguing that the request to testify was not bipartisan. Ranking Member Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) contacted Rice and told her he objected to it, reportedly leading her to reject the request.
Power is expected to testify before the House intelligence committee before the August recess, according to Fox News. | positive |
There is an old saying that when Democrats form a firing squad they do it in a circle. While the Republicans have certainly learned how to do the same, the Democratic National Committee is back at it. Just when party leaders thought they could breathe a sigh of relief that their frontrunner (former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton) met positive expectation for her debate performance and the deputy frontrunner (Vermont Senator Bernie Senator Bernie Sanders) generated a lot of enthusiasm without laying a glove on the champ, word comes that there is trouble in the party after the debate.
First, two vice-chairs charged this week that DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz has been acting autocratic and not consulting other party leaders about the skimpy presidential debate schedule. While the chair denies this, word is leaking out that she has issued the moral equivalent of a fatwa about having only six debates and is seen as stacking the deck for Mrs. Clinton.
Second, even though Mrs. Clinton’s debate performance seemed to suggest that there was little room for Vice President Joe Biden to enter the race, it is appearing more and more like that is exactly what he might do. In response to that potential move, the ever-feisty California Senator Barbara Boxer has warned Mr. Biden to not do it and endorse Mrs. Clinton –or face the wrath of the women Democrats.
Whew! For those of us who have fun making predictions, there is nothing predictable here at all. Aside from the fact that the DNC is having about as much fun in all this as the GOP caucus in the House is having trying to find someone to run for Speaker, this Democratic situation warrants some analysis.
In the first place, Mrs. Clinton is a wounded frontrunner – not because of any other reason that herself. She has baggage but, even under her best circumstances, she just does not appear to generate enough enthusiasm among the party’s base – especially young voters who do not see her as trustworthy or offering any change. We have plenty of evidence from numerous polls that now show her trailing all of the putative GOP nominees mainly because of this lack of enthusiasm among Millennials. If they do not show up to vote next November, that means a dampened turnout among Latinos, African Americans, and Asians who represent about 40% of young voters.
In the second place, Mrs. Clinton is a divisive character simply because of who she is. Even though her husband’s presidency is viewed favorably and he remains a popular figure, that popularity simply has not translated to support for her. It’s like the joke we used to hear back in 2000: Bill Clinton and Al Gore went for a drive in a convertible. It started to rain and Al Gore got wet. Make no mistake, she comported herself very well in the first debate, but Millennials interviewed afterward were just not on board. If they stay home, Democrats have a very difficult time winning.
Enter Joe Biden. What does a 72 year old, establishment, Irish good old boy bring to the race? Well, for starts, he doesn’t have to prove his authenticity. He has always lived it and continues to feel his own pain, enabling him to feel that of others. Next, he makes a better case for continuity of the two terms of a still popular President. In this case, former Governor Martin O’Malley helped tee this one up for the Veep – we elected a President twice, not a magician. He (President Obama) got a lot done. There is still more to do. This is the kind of rationale for a candidacy that can make a lot of sense for the Democrats. Senator Boxer and Chairman Schultz may not like it, but if Mr. Biden gets traction, where can they go?
Mr. Biden, old hand and warrior that he is, offers something fresh to the race. A smiley face, a politics of hope, and the kind of family we all want to have.
But what about a woman? I have said before that the Democrats’ dream ticket is Mr. Biden and New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand who is young, very smart, courageous, has taken on the military brass on sexual harassment, and no novice to rough and tumble politics.
Just some thoughts. Next I will write about the GOP dream ticket.

Whew! This took me a couple days to do-- I was actually finished yesterday, but I kept erasing the hair and repainting it. No matter what I did, it just looked so flat! Many tutorials later, and many experiments with funky colors later, and I agreed just to disagree with myself. Painting this actually presented many new challenges for me-- such as, actually painting hair an not cheating by sketching the texture under the colors! Also, it's very hard to draw anatomy around 4 eyes! It totally changes the shape of the face, and thus shading.
Also, can we talk about how freaking cool Rainbow Quartz is? She's a beautiful 80s alien goddess! I knew I had to paint her at some point lol. This came out more or less how I wanted her too-- like a glittery retro giant woman. I mistakenly interpreted her colors as being tan-ish and blonde-- I think that's somewhat right, but the mood lighting in the scene really confused me. In addition, I did not color her eyes correctly-- that is, Pearl and Rose's eye colors. I was so focused on making them look like actual Rainbow Quartz that I forgot.
None the less, I had SO MUCH fun painting this!! I'm afraid that my eagerness to share with you all made me rush lol. | positive |
Stockholm: Sweden's capital became just the latest major European city to transform into a scene of vehicle-borne carnage on Friday as a stolen beer truck slammed into a crowd of pedestrians outside an upscale shopping centre, killing four in an assault that the prime minister denounced as a terrorist attack.
Police said the driver apparently escaped the smoky and blood-streaked scene. Throughout the afternoon and evening, he was the subject of an intensive manhunt as helicopters searched from the skies, heavily armed officers were deployed through normally tranquil neighbourhoods and security at borders was tightened. For hours, the city's transit system was shut down and streets in the central district were sealed off.
Officials said they had apprehended a person of interest in the investigation, although they expressed doubt that he was the driver and said the search was continuing. In addition to the four people killed, police said that at least 15 had been injured.
Authorities did not speculate as to the attacker's motives and offered no details about the man they had arrested. But Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said the mid-afternoon rampage had been "an act of terrorism" and that the government would do "whatever it takes" for the public to feel safe. | positive |

Photo by Mark Tennis. SUNDAY PICKS ARE IN: Monrovia, San Diego Madison land bids that had to be very tough for committee to sort out. Can Madison win on the road next Saturday? Saturday’s Division III regional final: Monrovia vs. Madison (San Diego) at Monrovia. Controversial choice? Right up there as the most heated in the state with Edison over Oceanside and others in D2 South and McClymonds over Ferndale in D4 North. At 13-0, Wasco didn’t get the nod. It’s not surprising given the history of these picks for first-timers on the board that lack the strength of schedule of other teams on the committee that the voters have heard of before. Bowl History: Monrovia is making its first bowl appearance. Madison is playing in its second bowl (lost in 2010 State Division III to Escalon). Early Prediction: San Diego Madison 22, Monrovia 21. Guess you could call this an upset with the game at Monrovia. Madison’s win over St. Augustine on Saturday was pretty impressive and 3-point loss to Valhalla also has grown in significance. Here are the Week 15 CIF Division IV North bowl game rankings (completed before this year’s bowl selections were made; after games of Saturday, Dec. 1; previous rank in parentheses): DIVISION III SOUTH 1. (3) Monrovia 12-2* 2. (5) Madison (San Diego) 12-1* 3. (4) Wasco 13-0* 4. (9) Corona del Mar (Newport Beach) 11-3** 5. (1) Paraclete (Lancaster) 12-2 6. (2) St. Augustine (San Diego) 10-3*** 7. (7) Nordhoff (Ojai) 13-1* 8. (8) Rim of the World (Lake Arrowhead) 12-2* 9. (6) North (Torrance) 11-3 10. (NR) San Dimas 11-2 *Indicates eligible for bowl game, section champion. **Indicates eligible for bowl with forfeit win not included. ****Indicates ineligible for bowl with forfeit win not included. Drops: Previous No. 10 Garden Grove lost to Corona del Mar (Newport Beach) 35-10. Bubble Teams: Banning 11-2, Brawley 10-2, Garden Grove 11-3, Jurupa Hills (Fontana) 8-4, Laguna Beach 11-1-1, Mission Oak (Tulare) 9-3, San Marino 10-2*, Salesian (Los Angeles) 11-2, Valley Center 7-5. *Indicates forfeit loss not included plus season complete, ineligible for bowl game. All others season complete and ineligible. Case for Monrovia: Coach Ryan Maddox’s team won its third straight CIFSS title with its 23-7 triumph over previous No. 1 Paraclete in Friday’s Mid-Valley Division final. Ge Vontray Ainsworth rushed for 125 yards on 19 carries and scored once while Blake Heyworth connected on a 85-yard TD pass to Anthony Craft. The Wildcats do have two losses, but one was by one point in the first game to Ayala of Chino Hills with the second one by three points to South Hills of West Covina. Both Ayala and South Hills are Division I teams. Key wins in addition to the one against Paraclete were by 35-23 vs. San Dimas (9-1 regular season), 21-16 vs. San Marino (9-1 regular season) and 42-31 vs. Sierra Canyon (last year’s D4 state champion). Case for San Diego Madison: It was an impressive 35-21 win for the Warhawks when they faced previous No. 2 St. Augustine in Saturday morning’s CIF San Diego Section Division IV final. Coach Rick Jackson’s team dropped its only game to Valhalla of El Cajon in week two, then reeled off 11 straight. Valhalla was a team good enough to have lost by just 31-28 to Oceanside in the San Diego D2 semifinals. The team features one of the top running backs in the state in Pierre Cormier, a Pac-12 recruit headed to Arizona. Case for Wasco: The Tigers will go up on the board on Sunday morning as the only unbeaten team and also are the only unbeaten team in the CIF Central Section. They only won in their section final, though, 29-22, over Bakersfield Christian, which is a team that lost 31-7 to Ontario Christian in September. Earlier, Wasco beat Bakersfield Christian 49-0 and dominated against its opposition. In fact, the team will make the state record book in two categories with a current 688-151 scoring margin in its 13 games. While some who have seen the Tigers play say they are legit, there are no scores against tougher teams (unlike Washington of Easton last year) to look at. Both Monrovia and San Diego Madison have those scores. Case for Corona del Mar: After watching the Sea Kings dismantle Garden Grove 35-10 in Saturday’s CIFSS Southern Division final at Anaheim Stadium, it’s obvious they belong in the mix for one of the two berths in this division as well. Three early losses (one was later changed to a forfeit win) will be tough to overcome for the selection committee, but all three were to teams that would be D1 or D2 for the bowl games. Plus, the way in which CdM rolled through its division was impressive. The first TD the defense gave up in four playoff games came when the Sea Kings were already leading Garden Grove 35-3 midway in the fourth quarter. Note: Griff Amies tied the state record for most field goals in a season with a 43-yard boot in the fourth quarter. He tied the record of 22 set in 1994 by Chris Sailer from Notre Dame of Sherman Oaks. Amies later tried a 57-yarder that would have broken the record but it was short. Why not Nordhoff or Rim of the World: While we’ve had these teams higher in our rankings than Corona del Mar for most of the season, they just don’t have the strength of schedule against D2 or D1 teams that Monrovia, San Diego Madison or Corona del Mar has. Note: Nordhoff topped North of Torrance topped 31-14 in Saturday’s CIFSS Northwest Division final. This came one week after North Torrance defeated D4 SoCal No. 1 Bishop Diego 28-14 in the semifinals, which was the team that handed Nordhoff its only loss. Rim of the World won the CIFSS East Valley Division crown Friday 34-31 against Ontario Christian. Scots’ running back Jacob Taylor had 41 carries for 260 yards and three TDs and became just the second player in state history to rush for more than 4,000 yards in one season.

However, I’m afraid I disagree with you about Nordhoff. In non-league, the Rangers beat San Joaquin Memorial 28-3 on the road, Pacifica (Oxnard) 45-7, Grace Bretheren (Simi Valley) 48-7, Nipomo 56-13 on the road, 1000 Oaks 29-21, and San Marcos(Santa Barbara) 55-7 on the road. All but Grace Bretheren are in much higher divisions. TO is a Pac 5 team that finished 2-3 in the Marmonte West League. I think it’s fair to say the Northwest playoffs were the toughest Cal Bowl D3 playoffs in the state after SJS D4, NCS D3, and SDS D4 this season. Without a doubt, Madison belongs in the regionals. However, Nordhoff should be strongly considered too. I believe they’re the best of the rest, however its’s hard to keep the only undefeated team, Wasco(13-0) out. (I don’t think CIF needs to throw CS “a bone” this year, however. Clovis North is certain to get a D1 or even Open South regional bid. And, the “folks” in the Central Coast area haven’t forgotten what happened to Lompoc last year!). Reply Jay T Posted December 2, 2012 at 10:56 am | Permalink If you saw CORONA del MAR play this season, this playoff run and especially yesterday at ANAHEIM STADIUM there is NO doubt they are the best team in Division III. Their league is the toughest and their loss to Newport Harbor was on a last second play hail mary in a game they actually dominated. I’ve watched Monrovia here in the San gabriel Valley as well like Garden Grove they would get shut out and rolled by a team like CDM. Reply Jeggedda Posted December 2, 2012 at 12:09 pm | Permalink Correction concerning Monrovia. Ayala and South Hills are both Div 2 teams, not Div 1. Ayala finished with a 6-4 record not making playoffs, and South Hills finished 6-5 and exited playoffs in the first round. Not exactly Div 2 elite teams. So scores against these 2 teams mean absolutely nothing. Zip, nada. Monrovia will get the nod over undefeated Wasco due to CIF politics and nothing less. Last time I checked a 13-0 record trumped a 12-2. Reply Jay T Posted December 2, 2012 at 12:14 pm | Permalink I forgot to add this thought to my previous post, thought? Fact. The kicking game and this kicker Griff Amies of CORONA del MAR is so far and above anything you will possibly witness in any High School Football Division I, II or III. It’s actually Division I, NCAA or even NFL! This high octane hurry up offense w/ 6’4″ and 6’5″ receiving core, a vaunted tested shut out oriented defense and a kicking game far superior to any high school team in maybe the nation. No way, no how can CDM be left out of the regional.

Reply charles wedel Posted December 5, 2012 at 1:33 pm | Permalink overlooking wasco makes this a farce. no longer state chamionship Reply Mark Posted December 6, 2012 at 5:44 pm | Permalink You guys need to check the nonleague games…..Nordhoff scheduled San Juaqin Memorial and Thousand Oaks and beat them both. Both were preseason select power houses in their divisions. Thousand Oaks was supposed to compete with Oaks Christian for the division title. It was not Nordhoffs fault that San Juaqin and Thousand Oaks went into the tank after they lost. In fact, it is know that several key players for Thousand Oaks quit after they lost to Nordhoff thus causing their demise. Remember Thousand Oaks whooped Camrillo the week before they lost to the Rangers. And look at how good Camarillo turned out. Nordhoff had a bad game against Bishop thats it. Those boys deserved to compete against Madison. Monrovia would get beat 35 to 7 if they played Nordhoff. Bank on that….NO question who the better team is. It is just sad that the Bowl selection all comes down to politics…Really sad. Reply marktennis52 Posted December 6, 2012 at 5:52 pm | Permalink I saw Thousand Oaks and Oaks Christian play on the same day to start the season and those two teams were not comparable at all. It was a good win for Nordhoff to beat TO, but that loss to Bishop Diego was what killed them not politics. Bishop Diego didn’t even win in its “smaller” division.

Speaking on their usual morning show and holding on to a selection of yellow pages, the 47 year old and his co-host Holly Willoughby, 38, could be seen speaking about the different TV show's that have been forced to change their schedules or the way they film. Philip said: "Saturday Night Takeaway, for the first time ever, will go out on Saturday night without an audience. It's just, umm, it'll be a very different show without any noise. "We've also just heard that EastEnders has postponed filming until further notice. They've said, 'In light of the spread of covid-19 and after much consideration, it's been decided that filming EastEnders will be postponed until further notice." People share hilarious snaps of their canine colleagues while working from home Peter Kay cancels first live tour in 11 years — just three weeks after announcing comeback "That goes for Casualty, Holby and Doctors," he said as everyone replied in unison: "Wow." The TV presenter, who recently admitted he knew he was gay when he married Stephanie Lowe 27 years ago, continued: "It's bound to happen, I mean everyone – we're all holding on by the skin of our teeth." Another show to be affected by the coronavirus is Celebrity Juice, which suddenly told the audience to leave while filming after Prime Minister Boris Johnson's recent announcement about social distancing. Among those who fled the set was Holly, who immediately left the studio after her pal Keith Lemon said he was feeling under the weather. The blonde-beauty allegedly felt it was best to stay away from the set amid the Coronavirus outbreak currently sweeping the globe. Keith, whose real name is Leigh Francis, said he was running a high temperature and had a cough before filming his usual show. But doctors, who checked all his symptoms, gave him the go-ahead to continue filming. While the cameras rolled on, the government issued new regulations urging the UK public to practice social distancing and avoid all public areas, including pubs and clubs. Upon hearing this, producers took immediate action and the episode Keith, 46, was filming came to an abrupt halt. The Sun reported that the comedian had a temperature and was coughing. After the show stopped, Keith reportedly told his fans: "I probably won't give you a high five in case I give you what I've got. "I'm just a bit dizzy, as I say, achey and got a little cough but not worth talking about. I'm just really tired. I keep getting hot and cold." However, an audience member later hit out at the TV star, saying they didn't think it was appropriate for him to be on set while having symptoms associated with the coronavirus.

A peek back at a past Highland Park Independent Film Festival to-do reveals a film-fun night on Figueroa. The 2014 festival unfurls at the Highland Theatre from Thursday, Oct. 9 through Sunday, Oct. 12.
For cineastes wild for the art of moviemaking, planning and launching and running a robust film festival can have challenges outside whether there's enough butter for the popcorn machine.
On the one hand you want to rock that magical quality of "cred," whatever that may mean (but it means a lot for film lovers who value an authentic spirit). But you want to be known wide, in a close community, and, if you're lucky, land in a neighborhood that many film professionals call home.
Enter the Highland Park Independent Film Festival, a relatively newer kid on the film fest block that's managed to make true creative connections in and around its Figueroa Street location. Set to unspool from Thursday, Oct. 9 through Sunday, Oct. 12, the HPFF will feature up-and-coming flicks over the four-dayer, including a number of films made by people who live within shouting distance of the Highland Theatre.
Community? Cred? Check and check.
"Water and Power," a flick set in East LA and directed by Richard Montoya, opens the festival on Oct. 9. "Hay Days," "Bella Vita," and a calvalcade of short films shall follow.
Festival organizers shall Q&A with filmmakers and people involved with the movies, and, as is festival tradition, hobnobbing and the making of fruitful connections -- fingers crossed -- should be in full force. (Disclosure: The fest's graphic designer, Luisa Frias, is a pal to this blogger.)
In the capital of moviedom, not every neighborhood, or even city, boasts its own film festival or way to showcase the movie-creating locals who call the immediate area home. Those that do, however, like the HPIFF, keep that close-to-the-ground good vibery flowing while building a wider name in a city where one or two filmmakers happen to live.
May such cred-blessed cinema gatherings forever grow upon LA soil. And, big mondo festivals? You're good, too, but keep looking to local fests for all the right ways to keep it real.

The debate over a plan to lease and reopen a privately owned prison in Swift County quickly escalated into chaos Tuesday, leading legislators to temporarily clear the meeting room after dozens of protesters interrupted the proceeding.
A contentious Minnesota House hearing signaled an uncertain path ahead for the Prairie Correctional Facility proposal, highlighting strong opposition from some legislators and community members who say the state shouldn’t be doing business with Corrections Corporation of America, the prison’s controversial owner.
“CCA has a terrible reputation nationally for their treatment of prisoners,” said Nekima Levy-Pounds, president of the Minneapolis chapter of the NAACP. “Doing business with CCA is like doing business with the devil, because their practices are diabolical.”
Bill author Rep. Tim Miller, R-Prinsburg, emphasized that the Department of Corrections would run the prison under his proposal to lease the facility — not CCA.
“CCA isn’t going to be operating it,” he said. “Whether CCA has good or bad practices really isn’t an issue right now.”
After hours of passionate testimony, the bill ultimately passed its first test by a 10-7 vote in the House Public Safety Committee, advancing the proposal to Ways and Means.
Critics shut down hearing
Right now, Minnesota faces overcrowding in all of its state prisons, which has forced the state to house 2,400 overflow inmates in county jails since 2014 — a measure DOC officials acknowledge isn’t ideal, given the lack of treatment and programming at the jails. Miller said leasing Prairie Correctional would provide an immediate solution to overcrowding and buoy the region’s depressed economy.
“It is not an overstatement to say we are currently in a crisis,” Miller said. “It is beholden upon us to do something now.”
But Miller had barely dispatched with his opening remarks Tuesday when critics began standing up and shouting from their seats. Swift County residents and government officials attempted to give public testimony in support of the bill and its potential as a job creator, but their remarks were drowned out by loud scoffs from the crowd and more interruptions from critics speaking against the plan.
Legislators’ attempts to quiet the crowd only fueled more outbursts, drawing applause and shouts of “Amen” and “Black Lives Matter” from the audience. When lawmakers couldn’t get the crowd under control, they cleared the room.
The hearing resumed later in the morning, and about a dozen people testified against the bill. In addition to skepticism of CCA, many voiced concern over allowing the state’s correctional population to grow larger, pointing to disparities in the number of black people in Minnesota prisons compared to the state’s predominantly white population.
“This is just slavery by another name,” north Minneapolis resident Roxxanne O’Brien pointedly told legislators.
In a statement, Swift County Commissioner Gary Hendrickx called the vote a victory, urging Gov. Mark Dayton and legislators to keep the proposal on the table as an economic driver for the region and a way to ensure inmates get proper treatment and rehabilitative programming.
Levy-Pounds said she empathized with residents from Appleton and their poor economic situation, but said Appleton is a “small white rural town” and black Minnesotans also face high unemployment rates.
State prefers alternatives
DOC Commissioner Tom Roy also came out against the bill, telling lawmakers that reopening Prairie Correctional, which closed in 2010, is not in line with the department or Dayton’s plans.
He said the state can address overcrowding through other means, such as expanding early release programs, reforming sentencing guidelines for drug offenders and reexamining policies for offenders who violate supervised release or probation.
“The notion that we incarcerate people for profit — for corporate profit — I think is the antithesis of America,” Roy said.
Rep. Debra Hilstrom, DFL-Brooklyn Center, a longtime critic of Prairie Correctional, introduced an amendment that would ban contracts with private prisons, earning applause and catcalls from the crowd, but the committee members voted it down.
Joe Broge, a correctional officer at Stillwater prison, also testified at the hearing. He said DOC’s staff is too thin to take on another prison in a rural area, and he feared that leasing the prison now could pave the way for CCA running it down the road.
“They have an absolutely abysmal record,” Broge said. “You don’t want to allow them to get their foot in the door.”
Miller deflected the criticism, saying his bill wouldn’t allow CCA to take control without legislative action.
He also said he’d be open to a conversation about buying the prison and taking CCA out of the equation altogether, which some legislators have informally suggested. | positive |

Former US First Lady and secretary of state Hillary Clinton is all set to publish her first children’s book — a reboot of her hugely successful It Takes a Village, the non-fiction title she first published in 1996.
Due for publication this fall with Simon & Schuster, this time the story will be told in pictures, rather than words.
“The original [book] inspired the nation to think critically about how the choices made today, to raise our children and support families, will determine how we will face the challenges of the future,” said Simon & Schuster in a statement. “The picture book edition will bring this inspiring message to a new generation in a format that is perfect for story time and bedtime.”
The book will be illustrated by Marla Frazee and is set for publication in September.
Clinton is also set to publish a collection of essays inspired by numerous quotations that she has been collecting over the years.
“These are the words I live by,” noted Clinton. “These quotes have helped me celebrate the good times, laugh at the absurd times, persevere during the hard times and deepen my appreciation of all life has to offer,” she continued. “I hope by sharing these words and my thoughts about them, the essays will be meaningful for readers.”

KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- The Kansas Highway Patrol said a 26-year-old woman not only fell out of a party bus Saturday night on Interstate 35, but three cars ran over her as her friends watched in horror.
"We had cars on the right and the left hand side. There was nothing we could do. We hit her," said Jeanette Hernandez, a witness to the incident.
Scout camera video captured the deadly scene Saturday night as the Kansas Highway Patrol and other emergency personnel shut down the northbound lanes of I-35 near Southwest Boulevard.
Police said Jamie Frecks, 26, fell out of the emergency door of a party bus and landed onto the highway where three vehicles ran over her.
Investigators said Frecks was on the bus with 15 other women celebrating at a friend's bachelorette party.
"It was somebody's daughter, mother, sister. It's just hard," Hernandez told FOX 4 News.
Miguel Herandez was driving on I-35 when he saw the vehicle in front of him hit something and seconds later, his vehicle hit what he later discovered was Frecks' body.
Police say he was the only driver who pulled over to find out what happened, while the other two vehicles that hit Frecks drove away.
"I saw he tried to avoid something, but there was nothing he can do. Nothing I can do. So he just ran over it and I ran over it. I didn't know what it was," Miguel Hernandez said.
Hernandez told FOX 4 News the highway was dark and it happened so fast, he didn't have time to react.
"I just can't understand how people can leave. After they realized what they hit, they left," Jeanette Hernandez said. "And the biggest part that gets to me is, how can you leave her?"
Jeanette Hernandez said it was a horrifying sight with Frecks' friends screaming on the side of the highway, trying to get vehicles to stop.
"It was crazy. Cars were just going and we could still hear her being hit," she said.
Frecks' aunt told FOX 4 News that the woman had a five-week-old baby girl, a fiance and a host of family and friends who loved her.
Over the next several weeks, investigators will try to find out how Frecks fell out of the party bus.
Police would also like to talk to the other two drivers who struck Frecks, but chose to drive away.

Meet the adorable and scarily talented 6-year-old girls taking the skateboarding world by storm
Group has a skateboard line for young girls, video tutorials
'We're here to show you that skateboarding is not just for boys,' girls say
Parents say girls do tricks 'grown men' are afraid to
A trio of 6-year-old girls, known as the 'Pink Helmet Posse,' are skating all over Southern California.
Members Relz Murphy, Sierra Kerr and Bella Kenworthy have even got the attention of industry vets.
'They're incredible,' Jamie Owens, editor of Transworld Skateboarding Magazine, told GrindTV . 'I've seen a handful of teenage girls in the park, but never girls this young. They're the real deal.'
SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO
Sierra Kerr, Relz Murphy, and Bella Kenworthy, from left to right, form the Pink Helmet Posse of girl skateboarders
Relz Murphy, pictured on board, is 6 years old
'I have daughters myself, and I was so pumped when I saw this footage and sent it to my wife, because our girls are just getting bit by the skate bug, and this will put them over the top,' he added.
It doesn't hurt that Bella's father, Jason Kenworthy, is a professional action sports photographer. Kenworthy also told GrindTV of his pride in his daughter.
'Last week she wanted to drop into the deep end of a huge pool in Encinitas, which is just nuts. I was pleading "Why? You don't need to!" But she insisted,' he said.
Kenworth told the website that she indeed completed the drop. 'It was great, but I won't lie, that whole little episode aged me a few years.'
Bella shared some of her favorite aspects of skating with website Girl is NOT a 4 Letter Word . She told the website she's been skating for 'a little over a year' and her favorite tricks include carves and grinds.
Relz Murphy, pictured, allegedly got her start after her parents enrolled her in skateboarding lessons
Sierra's father is Josh Kerr -- the eighth-ranked surfer in the world, GrindTV reports. It adds that Kerr and Kenworthy worked together for years and decided to teach their daughters how to ride boards as quickly as possible.
'By 5 she was riding alone, which was pretty cute and fun then,' Kerr told the website. 'Now, though, it's freaking me out. She's dropping into 11-foot bowls. There are grown men who've been skating for years who won't do that.'
Relz Murphy got her skateboarding start after parents Gary and Rebecca decided to put all their children in skating lessons, GrindTV adds.
'Watching your 6-year-old daughter hit tile in a 13-foot bowl, that is pretty cool. But watching her confidence grow—not just with skating, but in life—that’s even better. If that’s all she ever gets out of skating then we’ve succeeded,' Gary Murphy said.
The girls soon welcomed their nickname, the Pink Helmet Posse, and got their parents to let them launch an official skateboard line for young girls. They also launched a series of skateboarding video tutorials.
'We know it can be intimidating, but we're here to show you that skateboarding is not just for boys,' their website reads.
'Come skate with us' it adds. 'You don't have to have a pink helmet, but we think it looks pretty cute.' | positive |
The 4th Industrial Revolution is upon us and people are freaking out about robots and artificial intelligence “freeing up everyone else to do more value added activities“. This is a delicate topic but the almighty dollar will prevail. Those people who have been clamoring for minimum wage to be raised are now being cold cocked by companies like Momentum Machines which has built robots that will produce fast food exponentially better than humans. Resistance is futile so you better just start figuring out how you can capitalize on the whole thing by investing in companies that benefit from the rise of the robots.
When thinking about what jobs we should automate first, a good place to start is to automate jobs that are dangerous. Putting aside the value of life for a second if we can, dangerous jobs are expensive because they command higher salaries and when people die, you get slapped with wrongful death suits. Employing robots for dangerous jobs benefits everyone involved. Companies can save money and lives while the people who were working in these jobs can (say it with us together now everyone…) move on to do more value added activities. So what are the world’s most dangerous jobs? Here’s a list from Time Magazine:
3 of those jobs could be on their way out with the introduction of autonomous vehicles (taxi drivers, truck drivers, and pilots), The remainder of these jobs would require proper humanoid robots with remote operation capabilities. When we talk about “moving on to do more value added activities“, one of these activities will be acting as a remote operator that controls these new humanoid robots. Let’s say you have a logging operation. You could have all your logging machines operated by a crew of humanoid robots controlled remotely by 1 or 2 humans. That idea is not as far-fetched as you might think. Allow us to introduce you to a company called Sarcos.
Founded back in 1983, Sarcos has been developing robots for the past 25 years. Back in 2007, Raytheon acquired the company and then 7 years later, the Company spun out from Raytheon into a startup yet again. In September of this year, Sarcos took in a $10.5 million funding round from investors that included Microsoft, General Electric, and Caterpillar. Sarcos plans to use the money for the “development of dexterous industrial robots for use in unstructured environments“. Just last year Sarcos introduced The Guardian S, the first-ever commercially available energetically autonomous snake robot:
The Guardian S weighs less than 8 pounds and has up to 16 hours of battery life. It can carry a full suite of sensors and facilitates two-way real-time video and voice communications. The robot is designed for use in public safety, security, disaster recovery, infrastructure inspection, aerospace, maritime, oil and gas, and mining. Sarcos will make the Guardian S available pursuant to an innovative Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) offering starting at US$1,500 per month.
The second robot product offering from Sarcos is the Guardian GT – Big Arm robot which is a “technical solution to the 40 to 400 pounds “lift gap” that exists in many commercial, industrial, and first responder environments“:
The robot seen above provides “augmented strength” to the operator with minimal training required as the robot just becomes an extension of the operator’s real-world arm movement. The robot will be employed in application areas such metal fabrication, ship building, and nuclear reactor inspection.
The third Sarcos robot offering, the Guardian XOS, is an exoskeleton which was originally developed for the U.S. Army. The suit enables its wearer to do superhuman feats such as easily lifting 200 pounds several hundred times in a row or repeatedly punching through three inches of wood. At the same time, the suit is also agile and graceful enough to let its wearer kick a soccer ball, punch a speed bag or climb stairs and ramps with ease.
In addition to these three robots, Sarcos has also developed a series of humanoid robots, some of which are being used by entertainment companies like Walt Disney for their attractions.
Sarcos has one of the most experienced robotics development teams in the world, and just now they are receiving a healthy dose of funding from high-profile corporate investors. This is a testament to how robotics has finally matured such that we can expect a significant acceleration in the adoption of robots that work flexibly in “unstructured” settings. Robots are finally moving off the factory floors and into real world settings where they can save lives and help impact the nearly 8 million people a year in the U.S. that are injured or killed on the job.

gay – Blue Ink Alchemy Home Blog Portfolio PayPal Helper Class GitHub Reviews Gaming Dungeons & Dragons Tabletop Free Fiction Bio Home Blog Portfolio PayPal Helper Class GitHub Reviews Gaming Dungeons & Dragons Tabletop Free Fiction Bio Tag: gay IT CAME FROM NETFLIX! Brokeback Mountain June 12, 2010 / BlueInkAlchemist / 0 Comments [audio:http://www.blueinkalchemy.com/uploads/brokeback.mp3] Here’s a fun fact you might not have known about me. I grew up in house full of women. It was my mother and my two sisters, and when I was a young boy my grandmother moved in with us as well. Being surrounded by women, it’s probably no surprised I was exposed to more than my share of romance stories. A good romance is one that puts two individuals in a situation where a real and visceral connection is made, an emotional and physical attraction that’s nearly addictive in its intoxication, and then makes thing interestng by putting obstacles between the individuals. On that level, friends, let me say that Brokeback Mountain works. The individuals just happen to be gay shepherds. That’s shepherds, not cowboys. The year is 1963. Ennis Del Mar, a downtrodden and stoic ranch hand, finds a job herding sheep on Brokeback Mountain along with former rodeo rider Jack Twist. The two bond on the long nights up on the mountain and eventually fall in love. Their summer is cut short due to their boss seeing them together and they go their separate ways, Ennis marrying his long-time fiancée Alma while Jack tries to break back into rodeo, only to meet his future wife, Lureen. The men start their families but never manage to put their feelings for one another behind them, and meet after four years for a fishing trip that becomes the first of many. As much as Jack wants to build a life for them together, Ennis refuses, afraid of the potentially lethal backlash that could occur and claim both their lives. Over the years, it becomes clear that neither man is anywhere near happy in their daily lives, and the only thing that keeps them going is those trips together up to Brokeback. This is a story that is steeped in atmosphere. From the scenery to the aesthetic of cars and clothes, we not only see the passage of time, but we can feel it. The way in which the years roll by, while glossing over things in places which I’ll address later, helps contribute to the film’s atmospheric density. This is also helped by good writing of very human characters, which leads me to the acting. Miss Hathaway is an actress I’ve yet to dislike in a role. All four lead actors in this film are absolutely stellar. Michelle Williams gives real emotion to her portrayal of the wife fully aware of her husband’s true passions, and when we see her come to the full realization of her rejection, Williams shows us the depth of the wound without saying a word. Anne Hathaway, showing just how talented she is when she’s not being a princess, is a woman who gradually moves more distant from both her husband and the person she was when they met and fell in love, a very real change that unfortunately comes over more people than it really should. Jake Gyllenhal inhabits Jake with electrifying passion while the late Heath Ledger’s quiet intensity and silent angst power through the film. When these two are together, the chemistry is palpable and their awkwardness about the situation feels just as real as their feelings. Enough gushing, as Brokeback Mountain has a few issues and I wouldn’t be able to call myself anything approaching a “critic” with a straight face if I didn’t point them out. As much as these actors give their all, the movie moves at such a pace that we really don’t experience a great deal of depth in them. Oh, they’re developed and they don’t feel as laughably two-dimensional as some others I could name, but there’s a lot more that could have been done with them if this hadn’t been a film. In other words, we’re not in the shallow end of the pool but we’re not swimming in the ocean, either. Brokeback Mountain probably could have surmounted this problem in the form of a novel, or an HBO mini-series. I doubt PBS would have touched the tent scene with a ten-foot pole. Insert pun about poles here, insert pun about inserting things here, we’re walking, we’re walking. (Sorry, Cleo, I love that joke). While I brought it up facetiously, I would like to point out some of the hypocracy that Brokeback Mountain alludes to in terms of the attitude towards homosexuals. Imagine, if you will, that gender roles were reversed in our world. Homosexuality is the norm, and people only couple with others of the same sex. Now, imagine you fall in love with someone of the opposite sex. The impulses, emotions and conventions that many people in this world take for granted are suddenly taboo, and you are under threat of death every single day because people can’t wrap their minds around your “strangeness”. That’s the sort of world gay men and women live in every hour of every day. Now, some places are better than others, things are improving in terms of accepting these people as, well, people, but for every pride parade or happy common-law couple, there’s someone living a lie because Bubba Ray is so eager to please Jaysus he keeps a hangin’ rope in his shed next to the special belt he uses to beat his wife. And Bubba Ray’s a stockbroker who lives in a suburb and goes to church every single Sunday in a $10,000 suit. But I digress. Brokeback Mountain is a film about passion. The vistas and scenery captured beautifully in this film are powerful, sensual images that are the perfect backdrop for people falling in love. You couldn’t ask for a more evocative setting. The score perfectly fits the deep melancholy and quiet tragedy of this situation and the lifes of these people as they slowly but inevitably unravel. Director Ang Lee is able to balance the surrealness of some scenes with very real emotional power in others, driving home the fact that these are all human beings involved in this, and none of them are unholy abominations bent on undermining the sanctity of marriage or utterly destroying the individuality or another person. They make decisions, they try to be happy, they screw up and try to deal with the aftermath of their mistakes. There’s a reason this film won three Oscars, in the areas I just mentioned. At the end of the day, Brokeback Mountain isn’t telling us anything we haven’t heard before. The power and beauty of it, however, is the unashamed way in which it approaches its subject matter and the unflinching way its point is driven home. More than being a rather extreme interpretation of the ‘bromance’ and a taut, well-acted if somewhat glossed-over tale of star-crossed lovers and rule-abiding rebels, Brokeback Mountain is a cautionary tale. It’s one that’s been out there for some time, but that doesn’t stop it from being a damn good one. The lesson to be learned in this, dear reader, is this: Life is too short to be miserable, and if you are in a situation where you are mired in misery every day, where you are being forced to try and be someone you’re not, get out. Get out while you’re still alive. Josh Loomis can’t always make it to the local megaplex, and thus must turn to alternative forms of cinematic entertainment. There might not be overpriced soda pop & over-buttered popcorn, and it’s unclear if this week’s film came in the mail or was delivered via the dark & mysterious tubes of the Internet.

Once upon a time, around 1996, LucasArts released a little oddity called Indiana Jones and his Desktop Adventures. The idea, it said, was to create a kind of randomly-generated adventure that people could start and finish in ten minutes: a coffee break RPG if you will. Truthfully Desktop Adventures wasn’t particularly good, but I always liked the idea of a game succinct enough, yet broad enough, to feel like you could do something meaningful in a short amount of downtime.
Oddly, it’s not an idea that ever really caught on. These days if you’re looking for a game to fill a little bit of time, your options are generally some lightweight match-3 frippery or, if you'd prefer something a bit more substantial, a quick blast of a rogue-lite. As much as I love the latter, I find them so bound-up in the concept of defeat that I usually walk away feeling like I haven’t achieved anything at all.
Cat Quest immediately and unexpectedly reminded me of Indiana Jones and his Desktop Adventures. Like that game — and the PSP’s excellent Half-Minute Hero, one of a few others to attempt a similar trick — it entirely encapsulates the idea of a coffee-break RPG, a game determined to give you a thorough adventuring before your beverage of choice goes cold.
You won’t finish Cat Quest in ten minutes but the basic questing loop, borrowed wholesale from its bigger, more bloated RPG brethren is streamlined and simplified to perfection. Each micro-quest — wherein you pick an objective, kill some baddies, gather equipment, and level up enough to tackle the next big challenge — is satisfying in its own right, and rarely takes more than a couple of minutes.
Cat Quest isn’t a game of astonishing depth (it is, after all, coming to mobile, as well as PS4, PC, and Switch), nor is it one that likes to hang about; within minutes of washing ashore at the start, the breakneck tutorial has whisked you through what would take a normal RPG several hours: You’ll murder a field of enemies, visit some towns on the overworld map, meet a king, pick up some quests, even level up and learn a few spells. It’s a completely fat-free experience, and the irrepressible forward momentum is surprisingly compelling.
One of Cat Quest’s greatest tricks is that it keep virtually all of its action focused on the overworld map. There are a handful of times when you’ll head inside — when you’re getting new spells and armour, or exploring a dungeon — but for the most part it maintains its frantic pace by letting combat, recuperation, quest collecting, exploration, and other RPG staples play out in the open air.
Combat in Cat Quest occurs entirely in real-time, and is brilliant in its simplicity. As soon as you near an enemy on the overworld map, battle begins. There are no separate arenas, or fiddly UI elements: instead, you’re given an attack button, a roll button, and a small selection of spells, and expected to fight it out then and there.
Once you aggro an opponent, they'll charge in and initiate an attack, causing an area of effect circle to appear around them. Your only option is to roll out the way as quickly as possible then dive back in and land a few strikes or spells.
And that’s it. No unnecessary complications, just a brisk, fun fight. That’s not to say Cat Quest is brainless: enemies charge in groups, meaning that good observation and reaction times are crucial to survival, and there’s a lot of satisfaction to be had in nailing the rhythms of evasive then offensive combat.
There are hints of deeper strategy in the spell system too: magic uses mana, and spells have their own areas of effect, adding another small tactical layer by forcing you to think positionally and deploy sparingly during battle. It all adds up to combat that’s exactly as deep as it needs to be.
The same can be said for pretty much every other RPG trope that Cat Quest swallows and spits back out in super-streamlined form. You recover health and save your game in towns but, rather than moving back and forth between elaborately constructed locations, Cat Quest simply has you slump down on the map for a few seconds before hurling you back into action.
Then there are the dungeons: simple maps, barely more than a few screens wide, that house a couple of treasure chests, a handful bad guys, and a boss — they'll take you a few minutes to conquer then, boom, off you go to do something else entirely.
Even armour and weapon acquisition is fuss free: instead of buying specific new gear you simply cough up a few coins and the game throws back random, level-appropriate loot. There’s no agonising decision making or elaborate strategising, you just make the most of what you’re given, using buffs and resistances when possible.
I know I’m being very positive so, to be clear, Cat Quest is absolutely a game of limited depth - it’s not going to satisfy anyone looking for a full-on RPG experience, and I’m not even sure if it’s substantial enough to entertain for very long on PC and PS4, where extended play sessions would more likely expose its flimsiness.
It looks like a mobile game, and to a certain extend it feels like a mobile game. But its combat and questing have an arcade spirit that feels just right with a physical controller, and it managed to ensnare me in its furry little paws far longer that I expected it to. It's the kind of thing that'll work wonderfully on Switch, a platform particularly suited to these bite-sized, but no-less-smartly-designed games.
Cat Quest is a cute little critter, offering a core loop that's brisk enough, but satisfying enough to feel like ten minutes well spent — perfect for bus time or break time, in other words. If you used to love RPGs but the modern 100-hour ‘epics’ just don’t fit your life anymore, then this may just scratch that itch. | positive |

Most ordinary people in Ireland will know a transgender person in 10 years time, according to author Declan Henry.
Author of the new book 'Trans Voices: Becoming Who You Are', Declan was speaking to Marty Morrissey about the book and the experience of writing it.
Declan said factors such as "major shifts in legislation, the way media portrays [trans issues] is much more favourable and more and more people are coming out as trans," in terms of making transgender issues more open.
He said he became interested in the issue due to not knowing any transgender people himself and wanted to know more.

He said: "I personally didn't know any transgender people, certainly not directly.
"I discovered that it's not a subject that's extensively written about, nor is it necessarily a subject that's well-researched."
Declan also felt a "personal aspect" in the subject as a gay man and approached writing the book as an ally within the LGBT community.
The book is made of interviews Declan conducted across UK and Ireland, ranging from 19-year olds in Dublin to 79-year olds in Bedforshire.
Though each story is unique, Declan did find a common theme of people "recognising that there was something wrong, that their brain didn't match their physical body, what they were assigned at birth."
"It was certainly something they recognized from childhood, from a very early age, that they felt more comfortable dressed in the opposite sex, playing with toys in the opposite sex."

Declan also clarified what constituted as transgender, using himself as an example of someone who was assigned male at birth and is quite happy with that compared to a trans woman.
"Initially, she would have been assigned male at birth but, from an early age, they realized that their brain doesn't match the physical body they were born with."
He said non-binary people were in a minority in the transgender community.
He added: "This category consist of people assigned male or female at birth who don't identify as one or, in some cases, they may identify as male and female. In a sense, they aim towards a degree of neutrality, they want to become more androgynous." | positive |

You know our stance here. We've long held that a serious pursuit of Masahiro Tanaka would be a worthwhile endeavor for the Mariners, because the circumstances all seemed to fit so nicely: the M's have demonstrated success with Japanese players, word is they're willing to spend on the right piece and Tanaka could hardly be a more ideal target.
So why, with every other suitor having challenges to overcome—just like Seattle—are the Mariners being viewed as a periphery player in the chase for the class's top free agent pitcher? Why haven't we seen that long-awaited "link"?
Well, now we have it from the New York Daily News's Roger Rubin:
"The Mariners are going to be a factor," one baseball official said. "They have a following in Japan. They enjoyed what they had when Ichiro (Suzuki) was on the team. "They want the chance for moves like getting Cano to pay off. And they envision (Felix ) Hernandez paired with Tanaka at the top of the rotation."
Let's start with the positives.
First, though it seemed like the obvious route, it's good to see someone finally say the Mariners are indeed in "win-now" mode as they try to maximize the twilight years of Robinson Cano's prime. It only makes sense.
Second, with the story coming from New York, it's highly likely the source is someone affiliated in one fashion or another with the Yankees. That's no certainty, as "baseball official" could be about anyone, but it seems likely—and that'd be a positive if it were to be the case. If the Yankees, considered by most to be the clubhouse leader in the pursuit of Tanaka, genuinely view the Mariners as a viable threat then they probably are.
Through negotiations with Brodie Van Wagenen, Jay Z and the rest of the CAA Sports clan over Cano, it's fair to assume they have a slightly better picture of the Mariners' aggressiveness this offseason than most teams, as it may well have been relayed to them during those talks.
Then again, the source for this story may have no ties to the Yankees whatsoever. We don't know.
What's interesting to me is that the reporter for this story, Roger Rubin, has been covering more college sports as of late—and doesn't appear to have been working on the Daily News's Cano coverage. But, that's a positive, or at least neutral. Rubin has been covering college sports since baseball's offseason began as part of his regular role with the paper, but while the Daily News did have some strong reporting work in the Cano saga, they dropped the ball at a crucial juncture.
Despite the deal between the Mariners and Cano being agreed upon late Thursday, December 5th the Daily News went hard to the hoop with a report saying talks between the two camps had broken down as Howard Lincoln "exploded" when Jay Z didn't immediately accept the deal they had on the table and instead pushed for 10 years, $252 million. As the aforementioned Larry Stone piece notes, Lincoln was in Hawaii at the time. Terms of the deal between Cano and the Mariners were reported within an hour to 90 minutes of the Daily News reporting the talks had hit a snag.
In addition, and maybe I'm piling on, the paper scrubbed its original story and any sites referencing their initial false report now link to a different story. No acknowledgement, no correction—it's as if it never happened.
But it did, and if papers want to run with stories utilizing iffy reporting then they deserve reasonable amount of skepticism the next time around. Maybe not as much as if it were the same reporters, but skepticism nonetheless.
In the end, this shouldn't change your perspective on the Mariners' pursuit of Tanaka all that much. Of course they were going to pursue him, and it was likely they were going to be playing to win. Because what else would they be doing?

Everyday, we come across stories that challenge the way we have traditionally perceived institutions, constructs and practices. Such is the tale of Aarav Appukuttan and Sukanyeah Krishna, who found love in the unlikeliest of places – a hospital.
Three years ago, 46-year-old Appukuttan met 22-year-old Krishna at a Mumbai hospital where the former underwent a sex reassignment surgery and the latter was there for her first appointment for the same.
Cupid's appointment
Appukuttan was born as Bindu and Krishna was born as Chandu. Neither conformed to the gender they were assigned by society. One was a man trapped in a woman’s body. The other, a woman trapped in a man’s. According to Appukuttan, their meeting was purely by chance and it all happened because he managed to eavesdrop while Krishna was speaking to her family on the phone in Malayalam at the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in Andheri.
A conversation began, and a three-hour-long wait for the doctor was enough time for them to get to know each other and exchange numbers.
Speaking to MidDay, Krishna recalled: "I got a call from a relative, and I was speaking to them in Malayalam about my surgery and health. When I finished my call, he was talking to someone on the phone in the same language. After disconnecting his call, Aarav came to me and asked whether I am from Kerala, after which we got talking."
"He went to Kerala and I returned to Bangalore, where I had moved two years ago for my job. A day later, Aarav called me and we discussed our surgeries and our treatment in detail. At first, we would speak once a week, then it became twice a week. Soon, we started talking very day," she adds.
This is a love story that bloomed not only out of similar medical experiences, loss of parents, a common dissociation from their society-assigned gender and a common mother tongue, but also out of empathy – both Appukuttan and Krishna counsel parents with children who identify as transgender. Neither of them had a happy childhood.
Appukuttan recalls feeling unnerved by the attraction he felt towards the girls he would sit beside in class. He said, "Since childhood, I had a strong feeling I was born to be a boy. When I was 13 years old, I realised I was not a woman. After I moved to Mumbai, as I wore men's clothes and cropped my hair like a boy, the women in local trains would yell at me when I boarded the ladies' compartment."
He even confided in his mother about this, who then took him to a doctor. The doctor said problems like these were common during the onset of puberty because of hormonal imbalances, and her asked to wait for a few years before opting for treatment.
A few years later, however, he lost his mother and shifted his focus to his sibling, who needed his care. “I used to hate my body and wanted to cut it sometimes. But, I had to restrain myself and keep my feelings in check for 45 years. I always behaved like everything was normal,” he said.
It was only after he went to Dubai that he managed to save enough money to go ahead with a gender reassignment surgery. "In a year, I changed totally, from female to male. Even my moustache and beard started growing," he added.
Krishna too had tough beginnings. Born as Chandu, Krishna experienced gender dysphoria at a young age. "They told me to wear boys' clothes and to play with boys. I would always ask them why they treated me like a boy even though I felt like a girl on the inside," she said.
Krishna’s childhood was full of humiliation, taunts and mockery. From the way she walked to the way she talked, every one of her moves was mocked by her peers. In fact, her family, far from being supportive, tried to “fix the problem”; by taking her to see a doctor who gave her hormonal injections that resulted in several health issues. These health issues also resulted in her being unable to appear for her SSC examination.
“With the therapy, my facial and body structure changed. I started developing muscles, my shoulders became broader and I lost a lot of hair on my head,” she said. “No one understood what I was going through. During my Class 10 board exams, I fainted owing to the pressure,” she added.
Once she turned 18, it took her a year to convince her family of a sex-change operation. Soon, she moved to Bangalore and started working as a web designer to earn for the expensive surgery.
Trans life in India
The Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Bill introduced in Parliament in 2016 was aimed towards guaranteeing equality and promoting welfare for transgendered people.
The bill, which came in the wake of a 2014 Supreme Court judgment – one which said those feeling removed from the binary gender, should be treated as the third gender. It also upheld a transgender person’s right to self-identified gender – and came under fire when it was finally introduced.
From its definition of a transgender person to the fact that transgender persons remained at the risk of criminalisation under Section 377, the bill was severely criticised. The bill, furthermore, does not cover civil rights like marriage and divorce, adoption etc, which are critical to transgender persons’ lives.
But things are not entirely disappointing.
In its state policy for transgenders released in 2015, the Kerala government mentioned the setting up of a fund for sex reassignment surgeries. In 2016, the state health minister had also said the government would bring down the price of sex reassignment surgeries.
But legal recognition or not, the trans community does not stop itself from declaring love. 2016 saw the first public transgender wedding in India, when Madhuri Sarode married Jay Kumar Sharma at a temple in Mumbai.
...
“We wanted a small marriage ceremony, but our friends are asking for a treat. So, we will have a grand wedding,” says Appukuttan.
Aarav Appukuttan and Sukanyeah Krishna's story brings hope. After all, what more can one ask of a love story, that triumphs not just hate, but convention, society and biology? | positive |
USC quarterback Sam Darnold has yet to enter the 2018 NFL Draft, but if he does, he wants teams to know that he’d be happy to play anywhere.
While UCLA quarterback Josh Rosen has reservations about going to a bad team — namely the Cleveland Browns — Darnold has a starkly different take.
“Whenever I come out to go to the NFL, I think I’d be honored to play for any team,” Darnold said, via ESPN. “It’s been a dream of mine for such a long time to play in the NFL. Any team that would want to give me that opportunity to be a part of their organization, it would mean the world to me.”
For the Browns, who are picking first, this is good news. There had previously been speculation that Darnold might not want to play for Cleveland. If these words are to be believed, that’s not an issue.
The bad news for the Browns — or any team looking for a franchise quarterback — is that Darnold doesn’t have to come out. The USC quarterback is a redshirt sophomore. So, if he’s willing to bet on his draft stock at least holding firm, he can return to the Trojans in 2018 or even 2019. But, if Darnold does enter the 2018 NFL Draft, teams won’t need to worry about him not wanting to play for them. | positive |

Once upon a time, some friends and I started throwing around big questions like “what is the best year ever (BYE) for song X?” this was a few years ago but for many of the entries that answer hasn’t changed. One of the ones I did was for a song I hold near and dear, Taste. While never a set carrying vehicle (well, hang on we will get to THAT) the song has always been one that could take you (me) elsewhere in a hurry as they stretched the boundaries of the song and folded in some interesting recurring themes along the way. Below is what I wrote then with the caveat that it doesn’t call forth the true best ever version of the song from the Baker’s Dozen on 08.02.2017 as that had yet to occur at the time. Even still, that one stellar type II version doesn’t change the reality that the song had its best year in 1997.
Enjoy!
I humbly submit for my first entry to the “BYE” (Best Year Ever) files that 1997 was the peak year for the largely ‘Type I’ vehicle, Taste.
While this song has remained mainly in the box over the course of its history (including its interluding incarnations as ‘The Fog that Surrounds’ and then ‘The Taste that Surrounds’ before the final arrangement we know as ‘Taste’) the song includes an outro solo that usually involves Trey and Page leading call with alternating solos, generally ending with a peaked guitar charge before the return to the ending run.
The initial incarnation of Taste didn’t ever diverge from form per se and was wholly a first set tune in the ten times it appeared but in the next version (with different lyrics that had Fish out front) that Fall (’95) the band began to work more through the soloing from both Trey and Page for the first eight versions of the tour. Eventually this became “Taste That Surrounds” in a way that merged the two prior versions together and we started to approach what would eventually become the Taste we know today (but not quite yet!). There would be fourteen takes on “Tasty Fog” along the way of Fall ’95 with not much to speak of jamming-wise before it again got slightly re-worked during the Billy Breathes sessions to become the final version we have today.
So that gives us Taste and you could almost say it debuted 07.03.96, sort of, with Carlos and Perazzo joining in because why not. That first one is extended with the sit-in from Carlos due to traded licks from the two guitarists but is a bit loose in all honesty.
10.27.96 is the first occurrence of a Norwegian Wood tease in Taste (which becomes somewhat of a thing for this song at times)
Later on in ’96 Perazzo would be back again during the RiL run (10.29/11.02) which adds some nice flair with the added percussion but these are otherwise typical versions.
11.30.96 has Peter Apfelbaum on tenor sax for a very nice extended version
12.02.96 gets a major peak to close and really hints at where this is headed in ’97
which brings us to where I am leading with all of this…
Early in 1997 the band headed off to Europe for what would be the first of several defining tours that shaped the sound of the band going forward. This one brought forth several new songs and the seeds to the new sound. During the February run there wasn’t a particular Taste that BLEW UP but they were all nailed and based on the overall playing of the band at the time it was simply a matter of time. This was never a song that would succumb to the cowfunk so it would evolve in another direction: bigger solos and larger peaks.
The song would eventually get played 30 times in 1997 (easily its biggest year) and it shows why. They really were playing it well each time out with some versions hitting the stratosphere like…
06.22.97 Trey leans heavily on Norwegian Wood here (show opener)
07.03.97 big use of the wah effect to great… effect
07.09.97 Page dominates this one
07.22.97 another Page powered one, the storm plays the band
08.03.97 oh so very peaky! wide open west coast version
08.09.97 frenetic is the word I choose here
11.26.97 just go spin this. seriously.
12.30.97 the stellar capper to a year’s worth of Taste.
I skipped some (okay MANY), obviously, as to highlight all would be a bit much. tThe point is that pretty much every time they played the tune in ’97 they struck gold even when just getting from one big jam to another (such as in 02.17.97 Disease->Carini->Taste->Disease).
And so that I do not end things here, the song has had a life after this peak in different ways. The best versions from ’98 stretch things out a bit more while perhaps not reaching the same highs as those in ’97. Good examples are 04.04.98 (Island Tour of course) and 12.28.98.
As one would expect, 1999 things get even more stretched out, leading to versions that topped 12 minutes (for a song that started at 6-7 minutes initially) culminating in an almost Type II take from Rochester on 12.05.99 that deserves a listen for its uniqueness in this manner.
The millennium brought a relaxed feel to this song that took some of the energy out of the bag which kind of deflated it a bit, unfortunately, and to my mind the 2000 versions suffer somewhat as a result. That ‘mellow groove’ doesn’t always match with the feel of a song that has such a syncopated rhythm and it could come off as hit-or-miss at times as a result. The same can be said of the 2003 versions to my ear as well but others may disagree. There are definitely those who will defend the merits of versions such as 02.25.03 with that growly tone.
And as for anything from 3.0, well, there simply are not enough top shelf versions to point to in order to make a case that the song has had any sort of resurgence let alone a peak of any sort. The best version by far is the one from Worcester 06.07.12 with our friend Norwegian Wood rearing its head yet again as part of a masterful segment of music in that set but that alone does not carry enough weight to outshine the greatness the song showed throughout its Best Year Ever in 1997.
I rest my case. | positive |

Ad Feedback Video Ad Feedback 02:43 - Source: KHOU Dying baby's 'bucket list' Story highlights "Avery's passing this quickly came as a complete shock to all of us," her dad writes Doctors told her parents she would not live past 2 A blog created by her parents includes a "bucket list" for Avery Avery's blog went viral, drawing millions of page views CNN — The 6-month-old girl whose parents created a “bucket list” blog for their daughter after doctors said she would not live past age 2 died Monday, her father said. Avery Lynn Canahuati, who was born in November with spinal muscular atrophy type 1, died of pulmonary complications related to the genetic disorder, Mike Canahuati said on the blog Tuesday. “In short, one of her lungs collapsed and she went into cardiac arrest,” said Canahuati, 31, of Bellaire, Texas. “I immediately performed CPR on her and was able to bring her back to life, but only for a brief period of time before she passed away shortly after arriving at the hospital. “Avery’s passing this quickly came as a complete shock to all of us, as she had just been given a thumbs up at her last doctors appointment only three days ago,” her father wrote Tuesday. “While we were aware of the severity of her diagnosis, we never lost hope for Avery and even in her passing, we still have hope for our daughter and all of her friends.” The infant’s parents had written the blog as though Avery would make it past age 2 and experience life’s milestones as a healthy girl. Canahuati wrote Monday that there were two items he could now scratch off Avery’s “bucket list”: 1. Not let SMA take my smile away. 2. Take one last breath, then take one more before I go to live with my Uncle Bryant, Nana Carolyn, Papa George and all my great-grandparents. He published the last photo the parents took of Avery, which he said showed her “sitting on her mommy’s lap looking at me and all it took to get her to smile this big was for me to keep saying ‘Hi.’ “ The blog began as an efficient way to keep family and close friends in touch about their baby’s health. But when the father came upon the idea of writing a “bucket list” for his Avery – a list of things to do before death, normally drafted for adults – his blog went viral and now has 2.4 million page views. The “bucket list” is so sensitively penned that many of his readers are convinced that it’s mom, not dad, typing the entries, he said. “A lot of people, when they post on there, they say, ‘you and your husband.’ They obviously assume Laura is writing it,” he said. The bucket list’s entries are lighthearted, humorous and decidedly hopeful, though Avery had the worst order of an incurable disease caused by a genetic defect that attacks the muscles, especially the respiratory system. Only type 0 is worse, but that usually occurs with fetuses, the couple said. One in 6,000 babies is born with one of four types of SMA, according to the Canahuatis, whose daughter was diagnosed on Good Friday. One in 40 people is a carrier of the gene, and the Canahuatis had a one in 1,600 chance of both being carriers – which they believe they are, the couple said. Writing in the first person as if his daughter were the author, Canahuati created new bucket list entries during the week on the family’s averycan.blogspot.com website or their “Avery’s Bucket List” Facebook page. They included: 1. Wake up smiling. 2. Have a bad hair day. 3. Ride in an ambulance. 4. Get picked up by a fireman. 5. Meet a fan. 6. Talk to mommy & daddy. 7. Eat a cupcake & a Blow Pop. 8. Play with Play-Dough. 9. Play a practical joke on someone. CNN’s Michael Martinez contributed to this report.

Footage from Lil Wayne’s music video “God Bless Amerika” recently hit the internet showing an oversized American flag being dropped to the ground before the rapper proceeds to dance across it. While one could argue that he meant no harm by his actions, the lyrics to the song suggest otherwise: ”My country ’tis of thee / Sweet land of kill ‘em all and let ‘em die / God bless Amerika / This ole’ godless Amerika.” So is Wayne simply exercising his first amendment rights or can the New Orleans rapper’s behavior be deemed unpatriotic.

"Sorry Mr. President, ISIS Is 100 Percent Islamic," Daniel Pipes writes in response to the recently retired president's speech last night:
In a televised address on how to address the Islamic State this evening, President Barack Obama declared the organization variously known as ISIS or ISIL to be “not Islamic.” In making this preposterous claim, Obama joins his two immediate predecessors in pronouncing on what is not Islamic. Bill Clinton called the Taliban treatment of women and children “a terrible perversion of Islam.” George W. Bush deemed that 9/11 and other acts of violence against innocents “violate the fundamental tenets of the Islamic faith.” None of the three has any basis for such assertions. To state the obvious: As non-Muslims and politicians, rather than Muslims and scholars, they are in no position to declare what is Islamic and what is not. As Bernard Lewis, a leading American authority of Islam, notes: “It is surely presumptuous for those who are not Muslims to say what is orthodox and what is heretical in Islam.” Indeed, Obama compounds his predecessors’ errors and goes further: Clinton and Bush merely described certain actions (treatment of women and children, acts of violence against innocents) as un-Islamic, but Obama has dared to declare an entire organization (and quasi-state) to be “not Islamic.”
So just to review how the left has responded to a 100 years of inconvenient history, National Socialism wasn't "real" socialism, except that it certainly was -- it was just socialism that the rest of of the left didn't like. The Soviet Union wasn't "real" communism or socialism, except that as Tom Wolfe once impolitely reminded "liberals" in the mid-1970s, "On the contrary -- it was socialism done by experts!" And now ISIS isn't Islamic. Gotcha.
But say, in regards to all of the above "isms," what about the "peaceful majority...?" | positive |

Best Canadian Online Casinos
It is going to be very true to say that every online casino player that is based in the UK will have their own definition of what makes any site they play at one of the best online casinos. However, you should always be on the lookout for such a site to ensure that you have a first class and completely hassle free type of gaming experience when paying your chosen casino games online.
There are several things that you should always be on the lookout when you are comparing casino sites. The very first thing that you should be paying attention to is to whether the casino is actually licensed and regulated!
By ensuring that any casino site that you sign up to and then play at as a real money player is fully licensed and regulated then you are never going to run into any type of problems at those sites, for the games will have been fully verified independently as being fair and random and each casino will be adhering to an industry wide range of high standards.
However, you will also want to ensure that any casino site will also be offering you a way of accessing the casino games you want to play, and many of the very best online casinos will be offering you an instant play type of gaming platform, a mobile gaming platform or a casino app as well as a fully downloadable gaming platform too.
You will find that all of our featured UK online casino sites are some of the very best casinos around as they will also be offering you plenty of bonus offers, not only when you first sign up to those casino sites but also on an ongoing basis too.
Earning Comps and Getting Access to High Paying Casino Games
Another aspect of choosing just which casino sites you should be playing at will be just how many rewards and extras you are going to be getting at the sites you do sign up to and play at as a reel a money player.
One way that you are always going to be rewarded for every single wager you do decide to place on any real money games at all of our featured and top rated best online casino sites is by you earning comp points as you play.
Our approved casino sites will not only award you with a large number of those comp points as you play but they will also be giving you some very low redemption rates too, meaning you will always have the option and ability to swap and cash in your points for lots of playing credits at a time of your own choosing.
The way in which you are going to find just which real money casino games are going to be giving you the very best chance of winning will simply involve you playing the games on which the highest payout percentages can be found or those casino card and table games that have the very lowest house edges.
If you take a look over our listed range of the best online casinos you will often find all of the house edges and the long term expected payout percentages have been listed on the websites of those casino sites, so accessing that information will never be too difficult, and the savviest of real money casino game players will only ever play the games listed with the lowest house edges and those games that have the very highest possible payout percentages too, so keep that in mind!
Players Advice for Picking the Best Online Casinos
We put out a call on our website recently asking for other players to give some hints and tips to new online players in regards to helping them pick out the best online casinos at which to play at along with any additional advise those experienced players could give to new players, and as such their comments and advice are listed below.
Make sure you are earning comp points!
I would like to pass on a good tip to players and that is you can often find differences in regards to the amount of comp points you can and will be earning and also the redemption rates when playing for real money at different casino sites. So do some shopping around for the value of the comps you can and will earn at some casino sites will be much more generous than the ones on offer at many other different casinos - Jack
More than one Casino account
One mistake I made a number of years was to open up an extra casino account at one casino site, I did have a winning session on that newly opened account but when the casino manager realised I already had another account they closed my account and only refunded my deposit.
My advice would be for you to always make a note when you do sign up to any online casino sites and make a list of just which casinos you have joined, for you will get banned from any casino if you open up more than one account with any of them - Paul
Look out for tailor bonus offers
I have found that the best online casino sites will always give me a range tailored bonus offers usually at least once a week, however those bonus offers are often sent to me by email and I often think they are just spam and never read them!
With that in mind if you are a regular player at any online casino sites make sure you always read the emails the casino site sends you out as often there will be some unique and exclusive bonus offers available to you which are listed and mentioned in those emails, and if you do not see the emails you will never know those bonuses are waiting to be claimed and you could end up missing out on all of them too. - Victor

A sync in on the LFO1.
Envelope 1 will be a triggered Attack/Decay instead of a gated Attack/Release.
One of the LFOs will have a sine wave output.
We will replace the attenuators for "attenuverters" in the mixer section.
A big and complete "patch book" with video demos. From basic sounds to complex patching
Let's go!
Why to make a synth?
Or even better: "Why to make a semi-modular synth?"
Because modular synths are amazing. The idea of Ants! started while developing some new eurorack modules for Plankton Electronics. We realized that a lot of people love to play with modular synthesizers. Playing with it is fun and exciting. It involves logical, intuitve and creative minds and it's a great way to explore sounds and making music. But modular synths are expensive: a basic system will be in the order of thousands. So we decided to design an affordable but powerful analog machine. Something to start with but at the same time a musical intrument with its own character and sonic flavour. After the Plankton Noise #01: The Bumblebee, a small DIY synth, we make a more complete machine: Ants!
And we love it!
Rewards
An Ants! of course, what else?
We also designed a small tool, the Plankton Ninja Stars. These are simple devices that let you to split the signals. Imagine that you want to connect the pulse wave from "LFO 1" to both envelopes and to the "AND gate". You just connect it to a Ninja Star and from there you connect it to wherever you want. 1 input, 5 outputs.
With the kit we also provide patch cords. If this is your first modular synth you will need some cables in order to pacth it. We include 10 cables of different colors and 2 sizes on the pack.
What's next?
Now the synth is working and sounding very nicely. But we need to make some improvements to make it perfect. It will be made between december and january. It are:
MIDI channel: A button will be added to learn from MIDI channel. Now the machine works nicely but it only do it on MIDI channel nº1. The button will be used to select the channel from the incomming signal.
Front panel: Some labels from the front panel need some changes in order to be more intuitive.
Case design: some improvements on the mechanical part of the case are requiered. The shape of the side panels must be improved.
Envelope leds: envelope led response need to be adjusted in order to reflect the real state of the curve.
"Sync in" on OSC·Y. We will change the attenuator on the CV input to add a soft sync input. This will expand the sonic possibilities of the synth.
We expect to deliver the synthesizer in April 2017.
Why we ask for your support?
Creating a new machine is challenging. We have made a great effort to bring this synth from the idea to the real world. Now we need to raise capital to make the final steps and take it into the production stage, so here we are!
With your support, you can help Ants! to be a reality! | positive |

Years into my mom’s Alzheimer’s journey, my parents’ love hadn’t diminished, but my mom’s capacity for going out to dinner and dancing had drastically decreased. I saw how blue my father was—one more event he had to give up, one more change in the woman he loved—and I searched for alternatives that might cheer him up. Here are five ways to make Valentine’s Day special. Look for a favorite thing. Seek one simple pleasure your loved one might enjoy. Mom loved potato soup and chocolate and fresh strawberries. These were part of our celebration. Nurture yourself: include your own favorite thing. Bring yourself into the celebration and include something that makes you happy. I brought foods my father and I both liked as part of our little party. Pick several ways to express your love. Poetry, music, gifts, flowers, and photo albums—you can use any of these resources as a catalyst to talk about your feelings. Dad and I sang Mom old show tunes and love songs, music she really enjoyed. Mom adored Shakespeare; we had a couple of sonnets on hand. She and Dad had once created a beautiful flower garden; Dad brought her a single red rose. Take joy in the simple act of expressing yourself. Being with my mom was a chance to really practice the mythical “unconditional love.” Mom couldn’t tell me she loved me. During one Valentine’s Day celebration, she fell asleep while I was holding her hand and talking sweetly to her. But there was a comfort in expressing my love and I kept on talking. Celebrate love in all its glorious guises. During their long marriage, my father had walked into a room millions of times and often, Mom had been busy and hadn’t particularly smiled or remarked. But with her dementia came a deep dependency on Dad. When Dad walked into a room, my mother’s face lit up. My father basked in that light. The sparkle in my mother’s eyes was the new, “I love you, darling.” The light said everything my mother could no longer say.

Talking to people who are in love is always inspiring; often couples have to overcome enormous obstacles to bring their relationship into reality. One of my favorite stories stars two friends whose love and cosmic connection shines out from their faces and rings out with their words. Here is an short version of their beautiful story, an insider’s look at true love. ** The coffee date was going better than Charlie, age 60, could have ever imagined. Just a month earlier, his best friend had burst into Charlie’s dark apartment and roused Charlie from his lethargy, saying, “You need to open up these windows and let some light in. You should start dating.” “Who would go out with a guy who has Early Onset Alzheimer’s?” Charlie asked his friend. “Maybe you should find out,” his friend replied. So Charlie Miller pried himself out of his depression and joined eHarmony. And this coffee date with Elizabeth Hack was the result. Elizabeth, age 55, was brilliant, interesting, energetic, curious, and shared many of Charlie’s interests. When she asked Charlie what he liked to do, he mentioned listening to music, attending theater, visiting with friends and volunteering for the Alzheimer’s Association. Elizabeth knew nothing about Alzheimer’s. She asked, “Does someone close to you have the disease?” “Yes,” Charlie answered. He wanted to say more but the words stuck in his throat. He had never envisioned this casual meeting could possibly turn into a romance. Yet he was already comfortable with Elizabeth and felt their relationship was meant to be. Over the weeks, they continued seeing each other, meeting at concerts, going to plays, and exploring new restaurants. As their friendship deepened. Charlie knew he had to share his diagnosis with Elizabeth and he worried she wouldn’t be able to accept it. But before he had a chance to broach the subject, Elizabeth, wanting to learn more about Alzheimer’s and about Charlie’s interests, visited the local Alzheimer’s Association website and noticed a picture of Charlie, as a volunteer and a person who has Alzheimer’s. She was shocked, dismayed, and confused. But she was also in love with Charlie; his diagnosis did not diminish her deep feelings for him. Charlie suggested she meet with his social worker at the Association to learn more about the disease. Elizabeth did that and though the information was daunting, her connection with Charlie was strong and true; she, too, felt they were destined to be together. They began traveling and made plans to move in together. In a vineyard restaurant in Napa Valley, Charlie proposed and Elizabeth said Yes. Today, they are living happily, grateful they have found each other “None of us know what will happen next,” Elizabeth says. “Just the other night, we were at a dinner party. One friend was just released from the hospital after heart surgery, and another friend was facing a hip replacement. I felt concerned for my friends and I felt so lucky that Charlie and I were happy and together. We are dedicated to living with joy and curiosity in the present moment.” Deborah Shouse is the author of Connecting in the Land of Dementia: Creative Activities to Explore Together and Love in the Land of Dementia: Finding Hope in the Caregiver’s Journey.

I loved hearing the city sounds, horns honking, cars edging past, a lone dog barking, as they shared their five secrets for making date night great. (I have changed the names in this story to protect people’s privacy.) During my mother’s journey through dementia, my father was always seeking ways to stay connected with her. He would have loved the ideas in this article. Five Secrets For Making Date Night Great! Margaret slipped on a string of pearls and surveyed herself in the bathroom mirror. Her royal blue silk dress, one that her husband Harold had bought her for their 40th wedding anniversary, still looked good. She fingered her hair nervously and hoped this evening would go well. Their last weekly dinner date had been a disaster. Harold had felt uncomfortable in the restaurant, even though they’d chosen it together. He picked at his food and barely spoke a word. Margaret had to hold back tears as she looked around the brightly lit room and envied all the happy couples and families, laughing, talking, and savoring their food. Tonight, she vowed, would be different. Tonight, she was prepared, coached by Nettie Harper and Kelly Gilligan of Inspired Memory Care, Inc, in Manhattan, NY. She’d chosen a quiet restaurant and reserved a cozy corner table, away from the bustle. Harold’s face tightened as they strolled in, but she took his hand and he squeezed hers. After they settled into their seats and ordered their meal, the dreaded silence descended. She was about to say, “Do you remember the time we took my cousin from England out to dinner…?” but she bit her lip. Harold’s eyes went blank when she prodded him for specific memories. Instead, Margaret unfolded an article on sailing, one of Harold’s passions, and offered it to him. “Could we read this together?” she asked. The large print made it easy to see and Harold began reading aloud, weaving in the open-ended questions Nettie and Kelly had written in for them to discuss. “What does this make you think of?” he read, after a few moments. “The sea,” Harold said. Margaret took a turn reading aloud, and Harold leaned forward a little. “Would you ever go out on such stormy seas?” she asked. “If I felt strong I might,” Harold said. “I always liked sailing with you. Remember that time with the snow and the animals? Those big fish?” Margaret smiled and took Harold’s hand. “That was our whale watching cruise. I do remember. I really liked the penguins.” “What did I like?” Harold asked. “The glaciers,” she said. “And the dancing.” In their work, Nettie and Kelly often coach care partners like Margaret, offering creative ways to stay connected with loved ones who are living with dementia. Their idea of bringing along an article on one of Harold’s favorite topics transformed the dinner into a time of wonderful sharing. On future date nights, Margaret continued to bring along articles on topics of great interest, as conversation starters. Nettie and Kelly’s company, Inspired Memory Care, Inc. (IMC), is founded on the belief that older adults, both with and without memory impairment, should have access to life-enriching, esteem-building experiences, sharing their wisdom and pursuing their passions each day. “We encourage couples and families to commit to rituals and set aside time together, just like you would without a memory impairment,” says Nettie. “Date night is an important part of the week, a chance to do something special and unique.” “We coach people to ask open-ended questions, such as, ‘Would you rather..’ “Would you ever…’ ‘Tell me more about…’” Kelly says. “‘Tell me more” is one of the strongest questions you can ask. Frequently words come flooding out. After posing an open-ended question, they encourage care partners to wait, allow silence, and give people a chance to respond. “If we jump in and give the answer, we’re taking away the strength of the individual,” they believe. So what are the five secrets to a successful date night? Bring a conversational catalyst, such as an interesting article to discuss. Ask open-ended questions. Wait lovingly for the answers. Meet people where they are. Celebrate your time together. Use these five secrets for making date night great and create a meaningful and connective atmosphere — for any couple or family — regardless of cognitive abilities!

They’d been in love for seven months and our decades-long romance must have seemed exotic and slightly unbelievable. “What are the secrets of a good relationship?” they asked. “Please share your wisdom.” First, Ron and I basked in the idea that two people believed we possessed actual wisdom! Then we shared our insights. How We Learned about Love Our insights came from growing as individuals and as a couple during our wonderful long relationship and from earlier relationships that had helped us become our true selves. We also learned from watching our parents maintain their relationships in the face of dementia. When Ron’s father Frank was in a memory care unit, Ron’s mom Mollie told her husband, “I love you so much.” Frank replied, “Not as much as I love you!.” Those were some of Frank’s last words and that sentence stayed with Mollie through and beyond her grieving. During my growing up years, my father was circumspect in declaring his love for Mom. But when she slipped into dementia, Dad showed me what a true romantic he was. He treated her like he was courting her; he showered Mom with compliments and kisses and frequently he expressed his love for her. Even when she could no longer talk, she still enjoyed her favorite foods—he faithfully fed her sliced strawberries and chocolate candies. Love Me Tender, Make Me Laugh, Always Have My Back My parents were my role models and I also learn an enormous amount from the couples I interview every week for the love story column I write for the Kansas City Star Magazine. Here are some of the qualities people most love about their life partners and spouses. Loves me just as I am Takes care of me/Always has my back Makes me laugh Shares my values/ Complements me Works hard/ Is honest and reliable Always puts other people first/ Always puts me first Inspires me to be better/ Appreciates me Love Lights the Way Some months ago, Oprah had author, visionary and cultural mid-wife Jean Houston on her TV show. “What do you wish people knew?” Oprah asked Jean. “I wish people knew how powerful love is,” Jean answered. That was one of the grandest lessons from my journey with my mom through her dementia: the power of love. Her love lasted all her life, far beyond her memory of things and people. Her love was a spark that lit up her life and mine.

His son leans across the drums and hands him his guitar. His daughter, poised on the banjo, subtly reminds the man to look at the monitor so he can remember the words to the songs. Everyone on stage is tuned into making the performance a great experience for the man and everyone in the audience is eager to hear from him. “So what if he sings Rhinestone Cowboy twice,” says one fan. This scene is a snippet from Glen Campbell’s documentary, “I’ll Be Me.” As I watched Glen connect through his familiar music and bask in the support of his family and fans, I wished that every person could be so supported and celebrated, particularly those who are living with dementia. As we approach Valentine’s Day, I wanted to share this essay about appreciating each of us for who we are. For me, it’s a reminder to celebrate love and the creative spirit in all their glorious guises. Please Take a Bow By Deborah Shouse The stage thrilled with activities. One man juggled 12 balls. From overhead, a woman floated down on streamers of royal blue fabric, and then wound herself back up to the arena ceiling. Lithe performers dressed as jungle animals danced and tumbled. I sat in the audience, awed by the amazing creativity of Cirque de Soleil. I hardly knew where to look, so much was going on. But one performer consistently drew my attention. A woman dressed as a wood nymph walked around pointing to whichever feat she most admired. As a man juggled dangerously long sticks, the nymph held out her arms toward him, her gesture saying, “Ta da, Look at this!” The singer burst into an acrobatic aria and the wood nymph ran towards her, unfurling her arms in another “Ta Da” gesture, focusing our attention and directing our applause. One act after another somersaulted, soared and danced and the wood nymph was always there to shine extra attention on them. Afterwards, I stood in the corridors with Ron and our friends, Jacqueline and Michael, talking over favorite parts of the show. “I really liked the wood nymph,” I told Jacqueline. “We should take turns doing that for each other.” She agreed. But then we both wondered, what would we applaud? Jacqueline and I did our writing work practically immobilized in front of the computer. Michael was a legal aid attorney and Ron had an antique shop. The last time any of us had even somersaulted was eons ago, in our firefly laden summertime back yards. Yes, we juggled, but it was the usual middle class shticks, wildly tossing around work, family, exercise, community, friends and more. All the more reason, I thought, to find an appreciator who understood when we performed at our personal peak. As we discussed the amazing acrobatic skills we had just seen, I imagined going over to Jacqueline’s. There she sits at her dining room table, her computer screen bright, her fingers nimble. She is a great writer and she is working her craft. I stand nearby, face the imaginary audience seated in her living room, and hold out my arms, gesturing proudly towards Jacqueline. She smiles shyly and I hold my appreciative pose. Then Michael walks through on his way to the kitchen. “Hi Deborah, what are you up to?” he says. I nod towards Jacqueline, who is writing briskly, and unfurl my arms towards her. “Oh, yes, I see,” Michael says. He applauds. Jacqueline sits up straighter and allows herself a little bow. A lot of people don’t understand what hard work writing is and I am here to make sure her audience appreciates the subtlety and strength of this art form. Suddenly, Jacqueline stops. I imagine a drum roll as she presses her lips together, furrows her brow and stares into space. She is trying to think of the right word. We all know how hard that is–it’s the equivalent of the back flip followed by the double mid-air somersault. She shakes her head in despair. The audience is on the edges of its seats, mouths agape, hearts racing. Will Jacqueline find the word? Or will she crash to the ground, her sentence in shambles, her paragraphs paralyzed? Finally, Jacqueline grins and returns to the keyboard, her fingers dancing. I point to her—“TaDa”– and her audience erupts into applause. Meanwhile, while I daydreamed, the Cirque de Soleil arena was emptying. We walked to our cars and the image of the wood nymph stayed with me all the way home. As Ron and I walked toward our house, I remembered a conversation we’d had several weeks ago. “Why don’t you ever mention how great the yard looks?” he’d said. “I’ve worked hard on creating this.” I had started to defend myself. Then I realized he was right. I liked the yard but its lushness was part of my normal world, the world I rushed blindly past. I hadn’t taken time to appreciate all the effort Ron had put into creating it. Now I stopped on the sidewalk. The porch light illuminated the plants and ivy as I swept my arms toward the yard, then back to Ron. “Ta da!” I said, pointing to his lawn, then applauding him. He stared at me, and then smiled. “Thank you,” he said. “Thank you for noticing.” He took a bow. I followed him as he left the stage and went into the house.

Attorneys for Vice News reporter Jason Leopold are taking the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice to task after the feds filed a classified declaration supposedly providing more information to the court about the FBI’s investigation into Clinton’s private email server. The filing was part of a FOIA lawsuit filed in federal court by Leopold seeking Clinton’s emails from her private server as well as correspondence between the FBI and Clinton referencing the Clinton email server.
In March, the government filed a motion for summary judgement in the case, and incorporated as one of the supporting documents this classified declaration. That’s significant because as former federal prosecutor Bill Thomas told LawNewz.com not only is the “information being submitted to the court classified, but its really more than that, it is information that if revealed there exists ‘reasonable danger that compulsion of the evidence will expose military matters which, in the interest of national security, should not be divulged.'”
Leopold’s attorneys believe that at the very least the DOJ should be required to put a redacted version of the declaration into the public record for everybody to see.
Attorney Ryan James wrote in the filing:
Defendant (the government) has submitted an in camera, ex parte declaration without having previously obtained leave of Court to do so. Plaintiff requests that Defendant be ordered to show good cause why it should not be required to file a redacted version of the classified in camera, ex parte declaration so that the unclassified portion will be on the the public record.
The attorneys also asked that the judge hold off from reviewing the government’s declaration until they can respond to any arguments made by the DOJ as to why a redacted version of the declaration is not in the public docket. Judge Randolph Moss ordered the government to file a redacted version on the public docket or show cause why a redacted version should not be filed. A DOJ spokesperson decline comment to Politico about this story. | positive |

You may have seen News Corp CEO Rupert Murdoch's ridiculous, now-infamous tweet about holding all Muslim people responsible for a "growing jihadist cancer." Aziz Ansari sure saw it.On Sunday night, the popular Indian American comedian -- who comes from a Muslim family -- took a moment to take Murdoch to task with a tirade of tweets of his own. It was gleefully vicious, in turn mockingly holding Murdoch responsible for egregious crimes committed in the name of Christianity.With 4.93 million Twitter followers, Ansari set off a wave of tweets from scores of other users who got in on mocking Murdoch, and got the hashtag #RupertsFault trending in the United States.
When in doubt, blame Rupert Murdoch. | positive |
