BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany and the rest of Europe should back the “democratically minded” majority of Turks who do not support President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Germany’s foreign minister said in remarks likely to hurt Berlin’s relations with Ankara further.

The comments by Sigmar Gabriel at a campaign event on Monday evening for his Social Democratic Party (SPD) represented a hardening of Berlin’s position towards its NATO ally and came after Erdogan urged German Turks to boycott Germany’s main parties in a vote on Sept. 24.
“More than half the country is democratically minded. They didn’t support him,” Gabriel said at the meeting in the western Saarland region.
“I believe that many in Turkey are counting on Europe and Germany supporting Turkish democracy and not looking on helplessly.”
The remarks, coming after Erdogan told Gabriel to “know his place” and describing Germany’s main parties as “enemies of Turkey”, are likely to anger Turkey.
Erdogan accuses Germany of harboring plotters behind last year’s bloody coup attempt against Erdogan. Turkey has arrested 50,000 in a crackdown, including European-Turkish citizens. Western politicians say the dragnet is a pretext for Erdogan to rid himself of his opponents.
SANCTIONS CALL
Lawmakers from Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Christian Democrat party and the Left party at the other end of the political spectrum urged the government to consider freezing the foreign assets of Erdogan and his inner circle.
“We need immediate and direct sanctions against Erdogan and his associates,” said Sevim Dagdelen, foreign affairs spokesman for the Left party.
Home to some 3 million people of Turkish descent, Germany has traditionally had good relations with Turkey, which is also a major trade partner and tourist destination for German sun-seekers.
But, with parliamentary elections due next month, the tensions have badly dented Turkey’s image in Europe’s largest economy.
In his remarks on Monday evening, Gabriel was cautious on sanctions, saying Germany did not want inadvertently to hit “the small restaurant owners and waiters on the west coast.”
Writing in Der Spiegel magazine, Gabriel said Germany should also identify Turkish groups in Germany which oppose Erdogan and provide them with financial assistance to counter what he called Turkish government influence over three million Turks through satellite channels and mosques funded by Ankara.
“Erdogan’s provocations promote a fundamental conflict of values,” he wrote in joint column with Justice Minister Heiko Maas, also a Social Democrat. “He wants to push our Turkish friends in Germany toward a culture war.”
The latest escalation in Ankara’s war of words with Berlin was triggered by Turkey’s use of an Interpol red notice to have Turkish-German writer Dogan Akhanli arrested in Spain. Accused of terrorism, Akhanli has been released but must remain in Spain while authorities assess Turkey’s extradition request.
“I always thought I was safe in European countries and that the long hand of arbitrary arrogance couldn’t reach me here,” said the activist, who spent long periods in jail for left-wing activism before fleeing Turkey in 1991. | positive |

• Forward says that most of all he wants England to be successful • ‘My lad asked me to get an England kit with Vardy on the back’
Wayne Rooney has said that he is not worried about losing his place in the England team and that the fierce competition for places up front for Euro 2016 “excites” him.
The Manchester United forward last played a game on 13 February against Sunderland as he sustained a knee injury in training with his club a few days later.
Rooney said on Tuesday night that he expected to be back in training within “the next week to 10 days” and that he was looking forward to the European Championship this summer.
Asked whether he was concerned that he would not make Roy Hodgson’s starting XI for England’s opening game at Euro 2016 against Russia, the 30-year-old said that the most important thing was not who played but that England had a good tournament.
England v Holland: International friendly – live! Read more
“The [competition for places] excites me,” he said as a guest in the ITV studio for the England v Holland game. “First of all I want England to be successful and win trophies and obviously it’s great that I can be a part of that. This is an opportunity for us to do really well in the summer.
“The decision is down to Roy Hodgson but I want to be there and want to be involved and help and hopefully lead this team to be successful.”
Rooney added that the fact that players such as Jamie Vardy and Harry Kane had emerged meant that England would have a better chance of going far in France this summer.
“In previous tournaments, if everyone was fit, the team was more or less set,” he said. “Now no one knows what’s going to happen. The manager can play three or four different teams or combinations if he wants to because we have got that quality. For the country this is going to be an exciting tournament.”
Rooney also praised Vardy for his performances this season and said that one of this three sons had asked for an England shirt with the Leicester City player’s name on the back. “My lad asked me to get an England kit with Vardy on the back,” he said.
“I think the impact he has had this season for Leicester and now for England is great for English football and hopefully he can continue that and score more goals.” | positive |

We got a bit carried away with continuing last weeks work. Paths now don’t connect through walls anymore either:
There are some edge cases with the rounded and diagonal walls, we’ll have to see how well those will work during normal gameplay.
The queue signs finally work:
So we also added signs that can be customized. We needed a font for them with partial unicode support for all the languages with a non-latin alphabet like Russian and Chinese etc., which means there are also some symbols available that could be nice to use. And yes, they can also be set to “no entry” which has been requested quite a lot.
Placing one of these signs at the front of a queue replaces the default queue sign. Flat ride fences can also be replaced by building a fence/wall next to them, which allows for some nice customizability.
(The option in the ride settings for selecting a fence style will be removed as it doesn’t have much of a use anymore now)
And finally, the brick set received some more tiles, a couple of fitting props, and there’s a new path style :) | positive |
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The temptation is to blame the Browns for the cancellation of the July 14 "Fan Kickoff Concert" at FirstEnergy Stadium with Bon Jovi.
But then word came that Bon Jovi also canceled his concert on July 16 at Noblesville, Ind.
We don't know all the details of the collapse of the Browns' kickoff concert because the Browns have said nothing of consequence.
Part of the reason for their silence might be because they want to book other major acts into the stadium, and they don't want to say anything to turn off other top-flight acts and booking agencies.
But Browns fans are left with the impression that the team failed to pull this off, after hyping it on May 28.
Futhermore, it seems they tried to do too much, too fast -- and it makes little sense to bring Bon Jovi back when he was just here in March.
So now what?
While I won't fault them for whatever happened with Bon Jovi, they should have had a Plan B ready.
Or at least, they could have said: "While we won't have Bon Jovi, we still have Michael Stanley and the Resonators. We also are working on something else -- details to come later."
The Browns need to be proactive, rather than surprised by what just happened.
They should go back to where the idea started -- something special for Browns fans. Maybe something a little different to start the season.
Then ask, "What do Browns fans like?"
I know, a winner.
But what else?
They love their history.
Think Bernie Kosar. Think Frank Ryan. Think Jim Brown.
Think Hanford Dixon, Frank Minnifield.
Think Sam Rutigliano, Brian Sipe, Bubba Baker. Think Brian Brennan, Paul Warfield, Reggie Rucker.
Come on, Browns, think . . .
THINK BROWNS FOOTBALL!
Then get on the phone, round up some key former players.
Bring in some current favorites such as Joe Thomas, D'Qwell Jackson, Trent Richardson, Greg Little and others.
Rent out an area for a night. Keep the prices reasonable -- $5 or $10 a person, kids for a buck. You can work out the details. Tie it to a local charity.
Have Michael Stanley rock. Have the pep rally that was planned for the stadium. Have the players stationed all over the place, with fans having a chance to get autographs.
Then give stuff away, lots of stuff: T-shirts and little Nerf footballs and other things fans love. Have inflatables for the kids, and nostalgia for the adults. Bring some of the displays over from the new Legends Hall at the stadium.
Make it into one giant tailgate party, with dollar dogs on the grill and cheap sodas, burgers and popcorn.
Instead of trying to throw 80-yard touchdown passes, just move the chains, pile up the first downs.
Touch your fans where they live.
The truth is the Browns never needed Bon Jovi, a New Jersey rocker.
Instead, turn this into one big Family Fest with a distinct Browns flavor -- something you should have done in the first place. | positive |

On April 4, 2011, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) released a document dramatically reinterpreting Title IX, the federal law that prohibits gender discrimination in colleges and universities that receive federal funds.[1] The document issued by the OCR was a “Dear Colleague” letter, an allegedly informal agency guidance that Department of Education officials claimed did not need to follow notice-and-comment rulemaking pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act.
The “Dear Colleague” letter specified the procedures that the OCR believed colleges and universities should follow in sexual assault cases in order to comply with Title IX. Although two Department of Education officials have publicly noted that the letter does not have the force of law, this concession does not change its practical effect, which is to coerce universities into compliance.[2] Moreover, each change in Title IX requirements found in the letter increases the likelihood of a guilty finding in a campus sexual assault case.
The Myth: Institutional Negligence
Since 2011, efforts by the Administration to bring universities into compliance with the new mandates have attracted widespread support from politicians and the media. President Barack Obama convened a White House summit on the topic, Vice President Joseph Biden oversaw a task force, and the OCR issued further “guidance” in the form of a 45-page question-and-answer document that also acted as an informal set of rules.[3] In the Senate, Kirsten Gillibrand (D–NY) and Claire McCaskill (D–MO) have been the most outspoken supporters of this policy.
Both The New York Times and The Washington Post have published news articles portraying campuses as hotbeds of violent crime, with female students allegedly facing the risk of extremely high rates of sexual assault. The Times alone has run more than 20 articles on the topic since 2012, and the Post featured a multi-part series in 2015 based on a poll contending that one in five college women are sexually assaulted—a total it reached in part by redefining sexual assault to include such things as sex “coerced…through verbal…promises.”[4]
At the heart of this campaign is a belief—sincerely held in some instances—that college and university campuses are beset by a “rape culture,” in which the procedures for investigating and adjudicating sexual assault claims are so one-sided as to constitute gender discrimination against female accusers.[5] Only unprecedented federal intervention, according to this theory, can promote justice.
The Reality: American Colleges Railroad the Innocent
For those who have spent any time on campus in the past two decades, this argument seems counterintuitive. The contemporary academy is extraordinarily sensitive to real and perceived discrimination on issues of gender (as well as race and ethnicity). Faculties are increasingly dominated by race/class/gender pedagogy in the humanities and some of the social sciences, and there has been an explosion in the number of administrators responsible for dealing with student life and diversity issues.
Given these facts, it is difficult to see how the academy’s environment could be considered so indifferent to rape as to necessitate unprecedented federal intervention. The on-campus responses to the two highest-profile university rape claims of the past decade—the Duke University lacrosse case of 2006 and the University of Virginia allegations outlined in Rolling Stone in 2014—suggest that, far from being indifferent to rape, the campus environment tends to presume guilt[6] even when faced with non-credible rape allegations.[7]
Nevertheless, the Obama Administration issued new guidelines in 2011 directing colleges and universities to change the procedures they use to evaluate sexual assault allegations. These changes have the effect of dramatically increasing the likelihood that an accused student will be found guilty. Threatening the possible withholding of federal funds, the “Dear Colleague” letter:
Considered it a violation of Title IX to do anything but adjudicate sexual assault complaints utilizing the preponderance-of-evidence (50.01 percent) standard, in effect ordering colleges to change their procedures. When coupled with the preexisting denial of due process in most institutions’ disciplinary proceedings—a denial of meaningful legal representation, the lack of mandatory discovery of evidence uncovered by the college, and the inability of colleges to require testimony under oath—the new standard makes it much easier to “convict” an accused student.
Stated that colleges that allowed appeals in the disciplinary process (which means virtually all of them) must allow accusers to appeal a not-guilty finding, imposing a type of double-jeopardy principle for students accused of sexual assault.[8]
Chastised colleges for taking too long to investigate and adjudicate complaints, with the Obama Administration suggesting a 60-day cap on the entire process.
Discouraged colleges from allowing accused students to cross-examine their accusers even in cases in which the accuser is the only witness in a disciplinary hearing that could end with the accused being found responsible for committing sexual assault.[9]
The “Dear Colleague” letter imposed a nationwide set of standards, and then-OCR head Russlynn Ali also made clear that the office would welcome the filing of gender discrimination claims by students against their own schools. On May 1, 2014, in a highly unusual move, the OCR revealed the identities of the colleges and universities under investigation (currently more than 200) but refused to “disclose any case-specific facts or details about the institutions under investigation.” The OCR’s inconsistent approach to transparency has left the public with the impression of widespread problems justifying a panicked federal response without the opportunity to evaluate the credibility of these complaints.[10]
In response to the OCR’s guidance, several new campus groups addressing the issue of rape have encouraged self-described “survivors” to file Title IX complaints. The two most prominent, SurvJustice and Know Your IX, have opposed anything approximating fair procedures for college students accused of offenses—while effectively downplaying the idea of requiring colleges to turn sexual assault adjudications over to the courts. Know Your IX co-founder Dana Bolger explained why to The New York Times. The “college disciplinary system,” she argued, is superior to a “criminal justice system [that] notoriously fails rape survivors,” since “police disbelieve victims, prosecutors refuse to take on the majority of cases because they lack witnesses, the standard of proof is impossibly high and juries buy into the rape myths that saturate our society and acquit perpetrators.”[11]
Although sexual assault obviously should not be tolerated and accusations of rape should be treated seriously, it is simply not true that American colleges are systematically turning a blind eye to such violence. The proliferation of activist groups on the side of “victims” suggests, if anything, an extreme desire to use the threat of severe sanctions to change cultural norms.[12]
Case Study #1: Yale University
The first major Obama-era Title IX complaint came from Yale University. In October 2010, pledges to the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity shouted something crude, albeit not illegal.[13] The resulting public backlash led to apologies from the fraternity members, suspension by the national fraternity of the local chapter’s ability to secure pledges, and abandonment of the university’s traditional free-speech absolutism to punish some of the students. The Yale Executive Committee declared that the statements “had threatened and intimidated others, in violation of the Undergraduate Regulations of Yale College as they pertain to ‘harassment, coercion or intimidation’ and ‘imperiling the integrity and values of the University community.’”[14]
The fraternity’s spectacle was crass and violated norms of basic decency, but The Atlantic’s Caitlin Flanagan observed that it also could be seen as an “obvious reaction” to the oppressive atmosphere of political correctness on campus. In Flanagan’s opinion, referencing the leader of the 1964 Free Speech Movement at the University of California:
[The] closest you’re going to get to Mario Savio—sick at heart about the operation of the machine and willing to throw himself upon its gears and levers—is less the campus president of Human Rights Watch than the moron over at Phi Sigma Kappa who plans the Colonial Bros and Nava-Hos mixer.[15]
Despite apologies from the fraternity members and condemnation from the Yale administration, campus activists addressing the issue of rape seized on the incident to file a Title IX complaint against Yale. The administration quickly settled. In a voluntary resolution agreement with the OCR, the university agreed to hire various Title IX bureaucrats and to rework its campus sexual assault policy.[16] That policy “encompass[es] broad ranges of behavior,” since the definition of sexual assault employed by Yale is “more expansive” than the one that is used by the federal government or local law enforcement.[17] The university has never explained why it chose to redefine a term—sexual assault—commonly understood in both the law and culture, but in a 2013 document, it did provide examples of the sort of behavior that could lead the school to brand a student guilty of engaging in “nonconsensual sex.”[18]
Yale then set up a two-tier system to handle rape allegations. Formal claims would be handled by a newly created University-Wide Committee on Sexual Assault (UWC). The UWC process begins with an allegedly “impartial fact-finder” (whose employment comes through the university Title IX office, which has a repeat relationship with and is often attuned to the views of the regulators) who gathers “documents and conduct[s] interviews as necessary to reach a thorough understanding of the facts and circumstances surrounding the allegations of the complaint.” The investigator’s report serves as the evidentiary basis for the five-person committee that decides the fate of the accused student.[19]
The accused student cannot call relevant witnesses unless he can prove to the panel in advance that he “can offer potentially relevant information that was not conveyed to the fact-finder.”[20] In the rare cases in which a campus accuser also goes to the police, Yale’s disciplinary panel may—but is not required to—consider the evidence from an actual law enforcement investigation.
Finding the truth is all but incidental to Yale’s procedure. Lest the accuser be retraumatized (regarding an event that, at the time of the hearing, Yale has not established to have occurred), the accused student not only cannot cross-examine the accuser, but also has no right to be in the same room as she gives her testimony. The most input Yale allows the accused student is the submission of written questions for the panel to ask the accuser—if the panel chooses to do so. In essence, the accused student is found responsible for committing sexual assault if three of the five committee members find it more likely than not that a violation has been shown (usually, that the accuser’s version of events is more credible than the accused’s).[21]
These “formal” hearings are a paragon of due process when compared to the second avenue for Yale accusers to present their complaints. Under an “informal” process, which Yale used in about a dozen cases in 2011–2012, the accused student has no right to present evidence of his innocence; indeed, in at least one case, the accused student was not even informed about the specifics of the allegations against him.[22]
Yale Deputy Provost Stephanie Spangler justified this procedure by explaining that the university’s “goal is to achieve a resolution that is desired by the [accuser] and acceptable to the [accused].” Further, one goal of the university process is to help accusers “regain their sense of well-being.”[23]
It is impossible to know what goes on behind closed doors, and perhaps the only real protection for a student accused through the informal process is a promise that the process will remain confidential. But in at least one high-profile case—that of former Yale quarterback Patrick Witt—an unknown party leaked the existence of a complaint first to the Rhodes Trust (Witt was under consideration for a Rhodes Scholarship) and then to The New York Times, which produced a front-page story that failed to describe the guilt-presuming procedures under which he was charged.[24] There was no indication that Yale ever investigated, much less punished, the person or persons who broke the university’s rules and shared the information about Witt’s case. When he wrote about the experience several years later, Witt recounted that Yale’s policy “almost ruined my life.”[25]
Witt was the first of many accused students victimized by Yale’s new policies.[26] For at least a year, the university’s definition of sexual misconduct was so broad as to include “emotional or economic abuse” by “roommates.” In one instance, a student was found not guilty but was nonetheless punished by the university, which ordered him to take “sexual consent training,” and on several occasions, Yale undertook investigations based on anonymous complaints, raising concerns that the new Title IX process could be used for revenge or ideological targeting.[27]
Among the faculty, an unknown male professor was subjected to a sexual harassment complaint from a female colleague. Yale investigated by speaking to the accusing professor and to the department chairman—but never informing the accused professor that charges had been filed against him, thereby robbing him of an opportunity to defend himself. The inquiry ended with the department chairman formally monitoring the male professor for an indefinite period. This incident produced scant public dissent among the faculty.
Case Study #2: Amherst College
As occurred with the fraternity pledge incident at Yale, a single event triggered Amherst’s explosion of Title IX activism. In October 2012, a former student named Angie Epifano penned a lengthy recollection of her experience as a self-described survivor of sexual assault. In May 2011, she wrote, a student acquaintance raped her. She did not report the incident to police, nor did she want the case adjudicated by a campus tribunal: “No thank you, I could barely handle seeing him from the opposite end of campus; I knew I couldn’t handle that level of negativity.”[28]
Epifano alleged shocking treatment from Amherst administrators. She claimed that the college’s sexual assault counselor, Gretchen Krull, told her not to report the crime and instead advised her to “forgive and forget.”[29] Soon thereafter, an Amherst dean, concerned about the student’s mental health, denied her request to study abroad in Africa. The dean allegedly informed her that “Africa is quite traumatizing, what with those horrible third-world conditions: disease…huts…lions!”
A campus administration committed to the truth might have asked some hard questions about Epifano’s veracity.[30] On a campus already known for its political correctness, for an unidentified dean to have made disparaging remarks about Africa seems extraordinarily unlikely.[31]
On October 18, 2012, Amherst President Carolyn “Biddy” Martin uncritically accepted Epifano’s presentation of events as “horrifying” and promised “consequences,” either with “procedures or [with] personnel.”[32] Within a few days, Gretchen Krull had resigned, with some speculating that she had been made a scapegoat.[33] Martin then appointed an eight-person committee to develop a new sexual assault adjudication procedure. A professor of women’s and gender studies chaired the panel, whose only other faculty member specialized in African–American literary and cultural studies; a campus activist addressing the issue of rape, Liya Richtman, represented student views.[34]
Future Know Your IX co-founder Dana Bolger, an Amherst student, hoped that the policy change would create a new culture on campus, since “we have all, at some time, in some way—through our jokes, our questions, our arguments—silenced a survivor” and “at some time, in some way, exerted our respective privileges—male, white, heterosexual, cisgendered, able-bodied—to silence our peers.”[35] The idea that 21st century Amherst College is dominated by white, heterosexual, male privilege suggests an unusual interpretation of reality. The type of guidelines developed in this ideological mess was unlikely to treat any accused student fairly, but it remained unclear whether Amherst’s new policy was so one-sided as to prevent even an innocent student from defending himself.
For several months, despite the claims of activists that Amherst was a campus awash in sexual assaults, no cases were filed to test the new system’s scope. Then, in late 2013, Amherst got its first post-Epifano claim.
In a column published in June 2015, Washington Post blogger Radley Balko wondered why so many high-profile campus rape allegations have proved to be unfounded. He offered several reasons, including the following:
It may be that activists deliberately seek out and champion the ambiguous cases to demonstrate their commitment to the cause. This is pretty common among ideologues. (I see it often among my fellow libertarians.) You show your bona fides by taking a hard line even on those issues, incidents and scenarios that scream out for subtlety. You see this in some of the reform proposals put forth by anti-campus rape activists, such as laws requiring explicit consent before each progression of sexual activity or in staking out absurd positions such as “drunk sex is always rape.”[36]
Balko could have been describing the Amherst case, which arose out of an incident in February 2012. Following an apparently consensual sexual encounter with another student, the female accuser apparently had a change of heart.[37] She also eventually fell in with a new group of friends: many of the campus activists addressing the issue of rape who were energized by the Epifano essay. By fall 2012—inspired, she wrote, by Epifano’s article—she published an essay at AC Voice, a webzine for which several in the group wrote. The female accuser now reinterpreted the incident of the previous semester as a sexual assault in spite of the fact that most of the accuser’s anger appeared to be directed not at her alleged assaulter, but instead at a “former friend” who had treated her contemptuously after discovering who the accused man was.[38]
The female student waited for another year before filing a sexual assault claim at Amherst, and the investigation and adjudication of the case showcased the unfairness of the college’s new policy—which, to be clear, is typical of how most schools now handle the issue. A hired investigator spent a day on campus interviewing witnesses; when asked whether she had any text messages or e-mails about the incident, the accuser said that she had none. During the hearing, the accuser admitted that she had texted after the incident, but none of the panelists asked her to explain why she had told the investigator otherwise. To corroborate her assault claim, the accuser said that she had invited someone over to her room after the incident to talk and comfort her. None of the panelists asked the identity of this mystery witness, who had not been interviewed by Amherst’s investigator.
Moreover, the accused student could not raise these questions effectively: Prohibited from having a lawyer by his side in the hearing, he was required under Amherst’s new rules to submit written questions for the accuser before the hearing. As legal blogger Scott Greenfield has noted:
Submitting questions isn’t a particularly effective way to confront an accusation. Questions beget answers, and answers beget more questions. Putting aside whether [the accused student] is adept at formulating incisive questions, no one can effectively confront an accuser without hearing her answers and following up.[39]
The accuser said that she had consented but in the middle of the process had revoked that consent; the accused student said that he was too drunk to recall anything that happened. This portrayal of events was enough for the panel to find the accused student responsible. Amherst promptly expelled him.[40]
The accused student hired a lawyer who subsequently uncovered considerable evidence undercutting the accuser’s credibility, including post-incident text messages (which the accuser had implied to Amherst’s investigator did not exist). Any fair investigation, of course, would have discovered this at the time. Amherst’s response? The accused student had failed to uncover this information within seven days of the disciplinary hearing, so he was now out of luck.
The student filed a federal lawsuit, which remains pending. In that lawsuit, Amherst has contended that the process worked as the college intended in this case.[41]
Case Study #3: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
While Amherst was finding an innocent student responsible for rape, another incident occurred at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC). Inspired by the activities at Amherst and Yale and in constant contact with the accusers there, she later told The New York Times, a student named Andrea Pino stepped forward.[42]
Pino claimed that in March 2012, another UNC student raped her at an off-campus party. (Because she has admitted that she had never seen the man before that evening and never saw him again, she left it unclear as to how she concluded that her attacker attended UNC.) Pino elected not to report the alleged assault to police, nor did she file a complaint through the university because, she later said, unnamed other students doubted that it would do any good. Instead, Pino went to a UNC academic employee about her plight, and this person allegedly told her she was lazy.
The identity of the unnamed figure who made the “lazy” remark has shifted depending on the reporter interviewing Pino. According to Inside Higher Ed’s Allie Grasgreen, Pino said that “an academic adviser told her she was lazy when her experience impacted her performance in the classroom.”[43] ESPNW’s Allison Glock, on the other hand, quoted Pino as saying that “when I explained to a professor what was happening and how it was affecting my grades, I was told I was lazy, and it was suggested that maybe I couldn’t handle Carolina.”[44]
Neither Grasgreen, who identified the “lazy” comment as coming from an academic adviser, nor Glock, who quoted Pino as attributing the remark to a professor in one of her courses, appears to have reached out to the unnamed academic adviser/professor for comment on whether Pino’s story was actually true. Nor did the documentary filmmakers responsible for The Hunting Ground, which presented Pino’s tale uncritically. Again, it is very unlikely that a UNC professor or academic adviser, having been informed by a student that someone had raped her, would respond by calling the student lazy.
As Pino was portraying herself as victimized by a gender-hostile administration, UNC was actually revising its policies to make it easier for students like Pino to see their alleged attackers found guilty. In 2012, the university removed sexual assault cases from the jurisdiction of its Student Honor Court and turned them over to a special new panel that handled only allegations of sexual assault, claiming that students could not be sufficiently trained to handle such cases fairly. Given the timing, however, this decision appears more likely to have been motivated by a desire to accommodate the OCR’s “Dear Colleague” letter, since the move allowed UNC to shift its burden of proof in sexual assault cases (and only in sexual assault cases) from the Honor Court’s standard of beyond a reasonable doubt to a preponderance of the evidence, something required by the letter.
Melinda Manning, an assistant dean of students, rejoiced at the abandonment of a policy that discouraged “victims” from coming forward. Summarizing the dean’s views after an interview, Inside Higher Ed’s Allie Grasgreen reported Manning’s view that the earlier system discouraged reporting by “requiring victims to be judged by a roomful of peers.”[45] Of course, a university disciplinary system judges the accused students, not the accusers, and administrators should know better. Manning resigned the following year, claiming that unnamed UNC administrators had pressured her to underreport rape claims; the university fired back with a document claiming that Manning had underreported filings.[46] The ex-dean joined several accusers in filing a Title IX complaint against UNC. As with all such documents, the OCR declined to make the filing public, and contemporaneous press reports suggested alternatively that it was damning or frivolous.[47]
In any event, UNC spent nearly $200,000 on a consultant to rework its Title IX mechanisms and hired seven new staff employees to deal with the matter at an annual cost of around $500,000 before unveiling yet another new sexual assault procedure, this one even less friendly to the rights of the accused than the preceding one.[48] By this point, North Carolina had passed a law requiring colleges to permit students accused of disciplinary offenses to have access to a lawyer. (North Dakota is the only other state to have such a law.) An investigator, hired and overseen by the Title IX office, is not compelled to share his or her evidence with the accused; he or she must only produce a draft of his or her report, effectively precluding the accused from offering exculpatory material during the process. Only under limited circumstances can the accused student introduce new evidence at the hearing.
The accused student’s attorney can examine a draft of the investigator’s report, but only by coming to UNC and promising not to photograph or copy the report. Once the hearing begins, the accused student’s lawyer, as dictated by state law, may attend it but may not cross-examine the accuser; he or she may only submit questions to the hearing chairman, who can ask the questions, modify them, or simply move on. The hearing procedures guarantee neither that the lawyer can even see the accuser as she gives her answers nor that he or she can cross-examine other witnesses.[49]
The new procedures maintained the lower preponderance-of-evidence standard, but even though the OCR is silent on the issue of unanimous findings, UNC now allows a student to be, in essence, found responsible for committing sexual assault based on a two-to-one vote of the disciplinary panel. The guidelines do not explain why the university followed this course.
Even after a student graduates, he can still be sanctioned by UNC. The school allows the filing of anonymous reports of sexual assault to “help give university administrators a better picture of the number of assaults that are occurring within the university student community.” The policy’s wording suggests that the university simply assumes that the assault has occurred, based solely on the anonymous filing. UNC’s policy also has no equivalent of a statute of limitations, a deficiency that allows for the filing of complaints years after the alleged event even when both the accuser and the accused are no longer students at the school.[50] Among elite universities, only Harvard has such an open-ended policy, which raises the question of whether a university could use a years-after-the-fact sexual assault claim to revoke a degree.
Case Study #4: Occidental College
On the West Coast, the most aggressive Title IX activism has been at Occidental College. As at UNC, Yale, and Amherst, Occidental appeared to have a disciplinary structure that denied meaningful due process to the accused. Well before “affirmative consent” laws were enacted in California, Occidental policy maintained that a student who obtained such consent could nonetheless be deemed a rapist. Many have criticized so-called affirmative consent policies as unrealistic and damaging.[51] The college’s sexual assault policy denied the accused student a right to counsel in the proceedings while informing him that terms like “innocence” and “burdens of proof” were “not applicable.”[52] A healthy majority of the undergraduates—currently 56 percent, with 57 percent in the most recently admitted class—are women, and 50 percent of the college’s professors are women.[53]
Nonetheless, according to a small group of campus activists, the school turned a blind eye to sexual assault on campus. In 2013, a handful of self-described survivors, joined by faculty members Danielle Dirks and Caroline Heldman, formed a group called the Oxy Sexual Assault Coalition, or OSAC, which denounced the “yes-might-not-mean-yes” policy as insufficiently protective of accusers. The group adopted a tagline of “because rape is a crime”—even as Dirks (speaking, she said, “as a criminologist”) announced that she had “given up on the criminal justice system.”[54]
OSAC had a preference for adjudicating sexual assaults through college tribunals, even though these assaults would usually be felony offenses in the criminal courts. As explained by Dirks, “College campuses, which are supposed to be the bastions of cutting-edge knowledge and a chance to shape the rest of the country, actually can do right.”[55] Celebrity attorney Gloria Allred involved herself, representing several Occidental students who filed Title IX complaints against the college, which quickly settled.
The college attracted national attention after expelling a student for rape—despite a police report concluding that no rape had occurred and despite text messages from the accuser checking on whether the accused student had a condom and telling a friend, “I’m going to have sex now.”[56] Occidental reached this decision by contending that while both students were intoxicated, the female student’s drunkenness rendered her unable to consent to intercourse that her own text messages showed she had initiated.
By comparison, even Yale’s “expansive definition of sexual assault” appears to exclude the kind of behavior that Occidental deemed rape. Yale’s guidelines cite an instance of the parties’ “send[ing] a few texts” discussing their plans for intercourse and then confirming those plans once they arrived in the bedroom as an example of “consensual sex.”[57]
In an essay for the Harvard Law Review, Harvard Law professor Janet Halley criticized the “pressure on schools to hold students responsible for serious harm even when—precisely when—there can be no certainty about who is to blame for it. Such calls are core to every witch hunt.”[58] In 2013, the number of reported sexual assaults at Occidental increased from 10 (in 2012) to 60. This figure meant that Occidental alone, with a female enrollment of just over 1,100, accounted for 40 percent of the total increase in reported sexual assaults at all of California’s four-year public and private colleges and universities.[59] As attorney Mark Hathaway has noted, Occidental’s rate of reported sexual assaults in 2013 was 16 times higher than that of the next 10 California colleges and universities combined.[60] It could be, of course, that this Los Angeles liberal arts campus is a statistical anomaly and that it really is very dangerous, but such an interpretation seems very unlikely.
Conclusion
Campus activists addressing the issue of rape have assiduously conveyed the impression that such institutions as Yale University, Amherst College, the University of North Carolina, and Occidental College are led by administrators who ignore widespread criminality. Sexual assaults on college campuses do occur and are a serious issue, but justice requires procedures that afford due process both to accusers and to the accused. Yet even before the OCR’s “Dear Colleague” letter, many schools denied meaningful due process to students accused of sexual assault, and so-called reforms since 2011 have only made the problem worse.

Wonderful news, Apple fans: the Cupertino-based company's new flagship store in Union Square will open this Saturday. The entirely renovated new digs go up at the former Levi's store space at 300 Post.
The neighborhood's current Apple Store, at 1 Stockton, sits right above San Francisco's Central Subway project. Loud and constant construction forced the store to move, providing an ideal opportunity to build a bigger and better space. In line with Apple's overarching postmodern contemporary motif, the new store will feature open-space galore, grey and white interiors, and its biggest standout, two massive sliding glass doors at the front.
As some SF longtime residents may recall, 1 Stockton also used to be home to the greatest Sephora store of all time, featuring three floors of beauty product heaven and a water element (before water elements were unfairly deemed tacky) running throughout the store. The Apple incarnation will close its doors for good on Friday.
The new store opens at 10am.
Here's another shot of the new store prior to its final polish.

A California store owner is accused of trying to burn down the competition over beer.
Surveillance footage shows a hooded man walking up to Sunny's Liquor store in Riverside and dousing the entrance in gasoline, before setting it on fire. ABC 7 in Los Angeles said the building received exterior and interior damage.
Police believed the rival store owner, identified as Munir Hawara, was behind it because cheaper beer prices at Sunny's was taking business away from his store.
"We're trying to get the exact motive behind it. However, everything is pointing toward a financial motive that putting that particular business out of business would assist this particular owner," Ray Mendoza with the Riverside Fire Department told ABC 7.
Hawara is accused of hiring two men to take out the competition. | positive |

In the aftermath of the United States national rugby team’s historic match against the New Zealand “All Blacks” on November 1st, many are hoping that the sport’s growing visibility (and televisibility) in North America can be leveraged into the creation of a domestic professional league. Indeed, the match attracted decent ratings and sold out Soldier Field, the home of the Chicago Bears NFL franchise. From the viewpoint of science and technology studies, a sports league is an organizational technology whose politics are recognizable through how its design helps determine who will benefit, who will own what, and who has the power to make important decisions. An American professional rugby league is an emerging technology, one whose politics remains malleable. Its politically-relevant design features are still easily alterable. Rugby fans, players and coaches ought to be concerned that the proposed National Rugby Football League (NRFL) will look and function too much like the National Football League or other American professional sports leagues. At this early stage, it is still feasible to steer the effort toward community control, rather than let it become a lucrative game run by billionaires privately gaining from millions in public subsidy and dominated by an overarching concern for television ratings rather than home-grown support.
For those unfamiliar with it, rugby is a sport that shares some similarities with and predates American Football but is notable for the lack of pads, forward passing, and blocking. Rugby is one of the top sports in countries like the United Kingdom, France, Argentina, South Africa and Japan, as well as in most nations throughout Oceania. The United States remains very much a second-tier rugby nation, similar to what was the case for soccer a decade or so ago. The sport does have two different variants, union and league, but for sake of this post I will gloss over the distinction between the two.
To anyone aware of the history of rugby in the United States, the proposal for the NRFL seems eerily similar to earlier failed attempts to grow the sport on American soil. In the 1950s, wrestling promoter and former NFL player Mike Dimitrio assembled a group of football-playing rugby-neophytes, dressed them in patriotic, football-like attire and proceeded to get, unsurprisingly, demolished in a tour against rugby league teams in Australia and New Zealand. It is hard not to get a sense of déjà vu from former national team coach Eddie O’Sullivan’s NRFL “combines,” which appear to specifically aim to recruit retiring or unsuccessful football players. A representative “All-American” team is scheduled to play the Leicester Tigers this summer, a club that has won the English premiership more than any other. Organizers are betting that the television spectacle surrounding this match will further jump start interest in a professional league. Sound familiar?
Despite the resemblances to Dimitrio’s failed efforts in the 1950’s, mainly his emphasis on spectacle and recruiting American football players over developing homegrown rugby talent, the NRFL could be successful. Given that very real possibility, current fans, players and coaches should take an interest in what the future shape of the NRFL will be. RugbyLaw, the Minneapolis-based firm involved in the effort, has been mostly silent about the important details. However, one has good reason to worry about future NRFL franchises being sold to billionaires who may have little interest in the league apart from its potential profitability, as has been the case in the NFL and other professional sporting leagues.
Consider the all too common practice within the NFL, as well as other pro-sports, wherein local or state taxpayers are forced to pony up millions for a new stadium every decade or so under the threat that the team will be moved to “greener” pastures. For instance, the state of Minnesota and city of Minneapolis recently put up 348 million and 150 million of public dollars, respectively, to keep the Vikings from moving to Los Angeles for a few more decades. The real tragedy of this practice is that such investments are never recouped, either in income growth or job production, by those forking over the dough. States and cities are more paying for the privilege of and status imparted by an NFL franchise (not to mention padding the earnings of team owners) rather than improving their local economic viability. There is likely no clearer case of corporate welfare and taxpayer waste than the pro-sport stadium extortion game.
This situation is all the more tragic given that the fix for this problem is dead simple: community ownership. Teams should be owned by those whose livelihoods lie in the community rather than by a select few jet-setting individuals. Local fans-owners are not going to threaten to move their team to a city they do not live in. Just look at the Green Bay Packers, the only community owned team in the NFL. The Packers have been one of the most successful teams in the NFL, in terms of franchise value and fan support (games have been consistently sold out for decades), despite being located in a town of around 200,000 people. The level of community investment in the team is almost unparalleled in the league, and the team is unlikely to ever relocate. There are numerous examples of successful community-owned teams in other pro-sports as well. What is particularly notable in the case of American Football is that the NFL currently outlaws community ownership – the Packers were grandfathered in. Although I am not so cynical to suggest that this regulation is a conspiratorial effort by rich owners to keep the pro-sport stadium extortion game going, it is certainly helpful to that cause.
The major political advantage of community ownership lies in the fact that decision making power in organizations tends to mirror its ownership structure. Fans owning a piece, if not majority, of their teams will mean that fans have a say in major decisions. This matters because the rich guy who buys a team as an investment is unlikely to have fans’ interests in mind. Moreover, one could imagine taking the model even further and structure the whole league so that it is, at least partly, owned and governed by fans, employees and players. Of course, running something so large would require the involvement of professional managers. Nevertheless, ownership by stakeholders rather than a small cadre of businessmen would mean that these managers would owe a greater deal of accountability to fans, employees and players in the same way that the typical CEO is beholden to his or her shareholders.
At stake in the determination of whether communities or business elites own and run the future NRFL are important issues like the valuation of in-person attendance versus television ratings. Are bodies in seats more or less important than television viewers? The privileging of the latter is clearly visible in the NHL, whose current commissioner oversaw the moving of teams from cities in the hockey heartland, such as Quebec City and Winnipeg, to the American South (where games are notoriously sparsely attended). NHL managers appear to prefer to roll the dice on potentially breaking into lucrative television markets in states like Florida rather than fill stadiums in Canada. Do American rugby fans want a league run by managers myopically chasing television ratings, or would they rather have a league that privileges home-grown support and the ability of locals to tailgate and attend games in person?
Cooperative and community ownership structures have a lot of potential to lessen or eliminate many of the unsavory and undesirable aspects of contemporary corporate-dominated capitalism, in pro-sports as much as anywhere else. The likely development of an American professional rugby league provides the opportunity to experiment with these models and realize a pro-sport system that meets the needs and wants of fans and players, rather than primarily those of rich owners. Current American rugby fans should not lose sight of the questions of “Who benefits?”, “Who decides?” and “Who owns what?” in their zeal for growing the domestic presence of the sport. Careful attention to these concerns will help realize the benefits of professionalization without many of its traditional pathologies.

Chinese hackers made more than $4 million by infiltrating the email servers of New York law firms to steal secret corporate merger plans they could trade on, according to U.S. authorities.
Prosecutors unsealed insider trading and hacking charges on Tuesday against three Chinese suspects allegedly involved in the scheme.
Authorities said one of the individuals, Iat Hong a 26-year-old Macau resident, was arrested on Sunday in Hong Kong and faces extradition to the U.S. The other two defendants, Bo Zheng and Chin Hung, were hit with 13-count indictments and remain at large.
All three were also charged by the SEC, the first time the agency has charged individuals for hacking into a law firm's computer network.
According to the indictment, the suspects hacked inside information by infiltrating at least two unnamed law firms between April 2014 and late 2015.
The hackers scoured the emails of law firm partners to discover stocks that were likely to soar because they were targeted in merger deals, including one tech company Intel would later acquire for $17 billion. The defendants then purchased shares of those companies, scoring over $4 million in illegal profits, authorities allege.

Preet Bharara, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, said the case should serve as a "wake-up call for law firms around the world."
"You are and will be targets of cyber hacking, because you have information valuable to would-be criminals," Bharara said in a statement.
The SEC is seeking an asset freeze to prevent Hong, Zheng and Hung from cashing in their illegal gains. The SEC named Hong's mother as a relief defendant to try to recover ill-gotten gains in her accounts linked to the insider trading.
The allegations are the latest apparent evidence of an intersection between cyber crime and insider trading. Earlier this month, a former Expedia (EXPE) IT professional admitted to illegally trading on secrets he discovered by hacking his own company's senior executives. The insider trading scored him $331,000, according to prosecutors.
Authorities did not identify which law firms were victimized by the Chinese hackers. Federal prosecutors described them as "prominent U.S.-based international law firms with offices in New York."
The indictment cited one incident in which Hong, Zheng and Hung allegedly hacked into a law firm that was hired in January 2015 by Intel (INTC) to help it devise a takeover of rival chip maker Altera.
The trio stole nearly three gigabytes of confidential data, including secret emails that contained the proposed takeover price in the Altera deal, authorities allege. Beginning in February 2015, Hong, Zheng and Hung purchased more than 210,000 Altera shares.
Altera's stock price spiked 26% after news of the confidential merger talks seeped out in the financial press. The defendants sold all of their Altera stock several weeks later for a profit of about $1.4 million, the indictment said.

The SEC said the Chinese hackers were caught using "enhanced trading surveillance and analysis capabilities" developed by the agency in the past few years.
Hong, Zheng and Hung also allegedly hacked to steal secrets to benefit their robot start-up. Prosecutors said between April 2014 and late 2015, the trio stole proprietary information from two unnamed robotics companies on the technology and design of consumer robotic products, including design schematics. | positive |

"On Twitter, the hashtag #MuslimLivesMatter and #OurThreeWinners have become a rallying cry for so many people, and it feels to me, as someone observing this, admittedly from the outside, like a galvanizing moment for Muslim Americans--a Trayvon Martin moment, a Michael Brown moment, for Muslim America. "Though obviously very different in the context and specific sets of facts and history, like the killing of Trayvon Martin or Michael Brown, the senseless deaths of these three young people has struck such a profound nerve and mobilized so many, because millions of people who look like those victims are fed up with the routine stereotyping, the marginalization in the mainstream media representation and the vilification by political leaders seeking to score cheap political points. Whatever the motivation for this horrendous slaughter, it takes place in a context where subtle, persistent anti-Muslim bias is a part of American life and this feels like a wake-up call."
THOSE ARE the words of MSNBC host Chris Hayes, commenting last month on the killings of three Muslim students in Chapel Hill, North Carolina--murdered execution-style in their home by a white neighbor, Craig Stephen Hicks.
A vigil in Chapel Hill for the three murdered Muslim students (Our Three Winners)
Hayes' statement shows how the tragedy has raised awareness of the scale of Islamophobia and the need to challenge it--summed up by the slogan "Muslim Lives Matter" that was inspired, of course, by the Black Lives Matter movement that erupted after the murders of Mike Brown and Eric Garner last summer. When thousands of people attended vigils and protests in North Carolina and around the country, the phrase "Muslim Lives Matter" spoke to their reasons for wanting to take a stand.
Unfortunately, not everyone has embraced the emergence of #MuslimLivesMatter. Several Muslim anti-racist activists responded on social media by urging people not to use the hashtag, and to use #JusticeForMuslims instead. At least two articles summarized the logic of this argument--one at MuslimGirl.net by a contributor called Sabah, titled "Stop Using #MuslimLivesMatter," and another on the website of the Muslim Anti-Racism Collaborative by Anas White, called "A Black Muslim Response To #MuslimLivesMatter."
There are several elements to the arguments from these articles and other commentary that I will address below. But the main contention is that #MuslimLivesMatter appropriates something that emerged specifically as a response to anti-Black racism, and should be respected as that.
I want to make the case that the opposite is true: The reason that the phrase "Muslim Lives Matter" spoke to so many people after the Chapel Hill killings is because they saw it as embracing the struggle against racist violence against African American, and linking that to another fight against oppression and bigotry.
SOME OF the criticisms of #MuslimLivesMatter resemble the arguments rightly made against the phrase "All Lives Matter."
But that slogan means something very different. It is used to deny that Blacks suffer highly disproportionate rates of police violence, mass incarceration and other forms of oppression. The phrase was first coined by conservative commentators when they were trying to smear the daily protests in Ferguson that attempted to assert the humanity of African Americans in the face of police murder and state repression. It gained further strength after the killing of two NYPD officers in December provided police supporters with the opportunity to push back against the momentum of the struggle.
Some liberal Black leaders also embraced the phrase "All Lives Matter," but in order to distinguish themselves from other parts of the movement that they wanted to portray as too radical. The implication was that anyone who said "Black Lives Matter" was alienating popular opinion.
So it may be no surprise that anti-racist activists are sensitive about what is being said with these three-word phrases.
But it is nevertheless mistaken to suggest that #MuslimLivesMatter is borne of the same racist backlash and attempts to demobilize the movement against anti-Black racism. Its emergence after the Chapel Hill killings shows as much. While the media tried to claim that the murders were the result of a "parking dispute," those who said "Muslim Lives Matter" were both exposing racism as the central motive and showing their connection to the mass resistance that developed after Ferguson.
These things were impossible to miss in the tweet of Haya Barakat, cousin to the murdered Deah Shaddy Barakat: "My cousin, his wife and sister in law were murdered for being Muslim. Someone tell me racism/hate crimes don't exist. #MuslimLivesMatter"
What's more, Muslims were not the only oppressed group to adopt this slogan to express their anger over the conditions of their oppression. Native Americans have organized #NativeLivesMatter protests to demand an end to police brutality and racism. In response to the murder of at least six transgender women since the beginning of the year, #TransLivesMatter is being used to express grief and rage against violence meted out constantly against trans people. The hashtag #ShiaLivesMatter began trending in protest at the massacre of more Shias in February by the Pakistani Taliban at a mosque in Peshawar, the third such attack in a month.
Isn't it obvious why other oppressed groups would find inspiration and power in this slogan? Rather than "appropriating" from African Americans, many Muslims are trying to find their own voice, and doing so by acknowledging the strength and courage of the Black Lives Matter movement. That is a testament to the continuing importance of the Black freedom struggle in the U.S.
Seattle-based Black feminist writer Ijeoma Oluo recently explained on Twitter why she would continue to use #BlackLivesMatter, #MuslimLivesMatter, #NativeLivesMatter and #TransLivesMatter, "I believe that recognizing the oppression & violence that all minorities face makes us stronger, not weaker."
STRUGGLES AND movements are inspired by many sources. In the early days of the Ferguson uprising last August, against the murder of Michael Brown, one African American woman interviewed by Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! explained why she held a sign that read "Negro Spring": "The same as the Arabs fought for their rights, for their civil rights, to oust their corrupt government, we're fighting for our civil rights, our human rights."
This is solidarity. Oppression may look different in different countries, but there is much more shared by those at the bottom of society and much that is common about our struggles. Solidarity isn't something to be guarded or fenced off from others facing oppression--it must cross barriers and borders.
Despite the ebbing and reversals of the revolutionary uprisings throughout the Middle East, the spark of their memory continued to burn for this woman in Ferguson. There can be no talk of a Black woman in the U.S. "appropriating" the Arab Spring by finding inspiration from her Arab and Muslim sisters and brothers in Egypt and gaining strength to challenge her own oppression.
This association between the Black struggle and the rebellions of the Middle East is more common than one woman's sign. We find them often intersecting in references. At a St. Louis County Council meeting in September, one Ferguson man confronted officials, saying: "You are ISIS to Black people!" And of course, the images of Ferguson protesters braving tear gas, Long Range Acoustic Devices and the whole military apparatus of the Missouri National Guard evoked images of the Palestinian struggle.
If anything, we should keep alive the spark that Ferguson lit by encouraging Arabs and Muslims and many others to embrace the Black struggle in the U.S., and to join with it as a way of challenging the largest producer of terrorism, worldwide and domestically: the American state. If using the hashtag #MuslimLivesMatter alongside and in solidarity with #BlackLivesMatter is one way to point at a common oppressor and to challenge that oppressor, we should not discourage it.
The idea that a particular slogan--or a tactic or strategy or political vision--must be guarded and defended to stop other victims of oppression and injustice from appropriating it is completely out of place historically.
To take the example of the U.S. in the 1960s, the Black Power movement that emerged from the civil rights movement, with a goal of the radical transformation of American society, became a beacon of leadership for other groups oppressed in the U.S. and around the world. The struggle for Black liberation inspired many others to organize for their own freedom, and to borrow from the tactics, strategy and slogans of the movement.
In the U.S., there was a wave of radicalization among Puerto Ricans, Native Americans, Chicanos and Asian Americans, as well as white workers and the poor. Guy Kurose, a Japanese American who joined the Seattle branch of the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense at the age of 16, reflected on this time, saying: "I...listened to [James Brown singing] 'Say it loud, I'm Black and I'm proud.' I wanted to be there, too." Likewise, the Black Power cry inspired the call "Red Power to Red people!" of the American Indian Movement activists, who occupied Alcatraz in San Francisco Bay to dramatize their struggle to demand the self-determination of all Native people.
The emergence of these radical organizations was typically in response to the conservatism of established advocacy groups. If one were to travel back in time to criticize them for appropriating a slogan or name from the Black Power movement, it would likely be treated with suspicion, since the main experience of people setting up barriers between struggles was of the moderate established organizations discouraging struggles from becoming too radical.
ONE OF the main points stressed by Sabah and Anas White is that Islamophobia is not experienced in the same way as anti-Black racism. Anas writes that #BlackLivesMatter began as a statement "against deep-rooted systemic racism, high rates of police brutality, extra-judicial executions, media smearing and vitriol, and the failure of the justice system to actually hold anyone accountable for dead Black men, except dead Black men. It is important to remember, that #BlackLivesMatter was not born of an occurrence, but of an atmosphere wrought with repeat occurrence."
But while there are, of course, differences between these two forms of bigotry, Anas implies that there aren't commonalities where there clearly are--"an atmosphere wrought with repeat occurrence," for example.
In an Al Jazeera article, Khaled Beydoun and Margari Hill go even further, suggesting that the experiences of Arab Muslims or South Asian Muslims is one of privilege that is not afforded to Black Muslims--and this is the primary reason for the outpouring of support and sympathy for the Chapel Hill victims. Aside from the downplaying of the scope of Islamophobia, this is also a sweeping generalization about the Muslim experience and community in the U.S., without defining it at all.
It is true that the Barakat and Abu Salha families mostly escaped having to deal with the vile character assassination that is typically used against Black victims of racist violence. Many African American families of the victims of police have to deal with the anguish of seeing their loved ones blamed for their own murders--portrayed as "thugs," "criminals" and "no angels."
It is also true that the murders of Black Muslims--for example, 28-year-old Somali Muslim student Mustafa Mattan in Fort McMurray, Canada, shot through the door of his home by an unknown assailant, a day before the Chapel Hill killings--have not received the same attention as the Chapel Hill killings.
Anti-Black racist sentiments and ideas do exist within the American Muslim community. Many mosques around the country are still segregated by national origin, religious sect, race and gender. The leadership of national American Muslim mosques and organizations are also middle class, predominantly Arab or South Asian, who promote an American Muslim ideal that is not always representative, and are often dismissive toward poor or working-class, immigrant and Black Muslim experiences. There is no monolithic American Muslim community that exists in a self-contained bubble, just as there is also no monolithic, classless Black community.
But to draw the sweeping conclusions that Anas and the others do is a mistake.
To start with, how can anyone say the experience of enduring Islamophobia is not a "repeat occurrence" in the "war on terror" era? The shredding of civil liberties and the presumption of guilt has taken place repeatedly in the U.S. government's war at home against Arabs and Muslims, leading to countless numbers of people harassed and intimidated by law enforcement, and even sent to prison on fabricated charges of supporting "terrorism." The media's lies and distortions about Arabs and Muslims who are prone to violence and who "hate us for our freedoms" are repeated constantly in the mainstream media, conservative and liberal outlets alike.
In their article, Beydoun and Hill argue that the widespread sympathy for the victims in Chapel Hill shows "a harmful hierarchy that privileges Arab narratives and excludes Black/African Muslims." But what are we to say of the Muslims--unknown to almost all of the U.S. population--who are the victims of not just racist vigilantes, but the U.S. government itself?
Anyone who knows the story of 13-year-old Yemeni boy Mohammad Tuaiman will know that no Arab privilege saved him from incineration by a drone strike. Neither was 16-year-old Yemeni-American Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, also assassinated by drone. Egyptian American Dr. Tarek Mehanna wasn't protected by his privileges from being stalked, blackmailed and charged with material support for terrorism when he refused the FBI's demand to be an informant in his community. No Arab privilege came to the aid of Palestinian-American Dr. Sami Al-Arian, imprisoned for five years on trumped-up terrorism charges, held under house arrest for seven more years, and subsequently deported.
Rather than dismiss #MuslimLivesMatter as a form of privilege, we should see it as a statement of protest against powerlessness. We know the names of Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown, Eric Garner, Aiyana Stanley-Jones, Ramarley Graham, Alan Blueford, Oscar Grant, Renisha McBride and others. That is because of the tenacious and courageous struggle of families, activists and communities to fight back--refusing to bury their children without a struggle against their murderers and against their racist dehumanization.
ISLAMOPHOBIA TOOK on a new shape and reached a new pitch after 9/11 and the launch of the "war on terror." But the impact of this wasn't just felt by Arabs and Muslims.
The period just before September 11, 2001, was a time when police violence against African Americans was sparking activist mobilizations--particularly in New York City, where the killing of Amadou Diallo in a hail of 41 bullets in 1999 and the torture of Abner Louima in a Brooklyn police station in 1997 brought thousands of people into the streets for protests. The 2001 Cincinnati Rebellion--days of protest and rioting after the murder of Timothy Thomas--was another example of the desire to confront racist violence.
But the drumbeats of war and Islamophobia after 9/11 had a conservatizing effect across politics. The U.S. government's ability to exploit the tragedy of a terrorist attack to whip up nationalism and jingoism also supplanted discussions of racial justice with national security, re-legitimized racial profiling at home along with bombing campaigns overseas and rolled back any challenge to the buildup of a military and surveillance infrastructure, from the war on drugs to the war on terror.
After 9/11, the American state--despite its clear record as the primary agent of racism against African Americans, through police brutality and mass incarceration--projected itself as a protector and defender of all Americans, against the alien threat posed by Arabs and Muslims.
Prior to September 11, 80 percent of Americans opposed racial profiling in opinion polls. That was reversed almost immediately--and as lawyer and author Michelle Alexander described, "What was most disturbing was that African Americans and Latinos agreed."
In September 2001, a Gallup poll found that 71 percent of Black respondents said they would favor more intensive security checks for Arabs, including those who are U.S. citizens, before they boarded airplanes--compared to 57 percent of whites and 63 percent of those who identified as nonwhite overall. The poll also revealed that 64 percent of Blacks and 56 percent of other nonwhites favored requiring Arabs, including U.S. citizens, to carry special identification as a means of preventing terrorist attacks, as compared to 52 percent of whites.
By the end of 2001, these numbers leveled off, but the damage was done, and the conservative tide that accompanied the "war on terror" had knocked back hopes for organizing for social justice.
This history is important to reflect on because it shows the strong basis for solidarity between those who have more in common with each other than what differentiates them. But it also shows that solidarity between those who have the most to gain from standing together should never be taken for granted, because it isn't guaranteed.
It is no coincidence that the weapons of war used in Iraq and Afghanistan found their way back to the streets of Ferguson. It is no coincidence that the officers of the Chicago Police Department involved in torture rings against Black and Latino suspects would have been trained in torture during the Vietnam War, and would in turn be sent to torture Muslim detainees at Guantánamo Bay. It is no coincidence that torturers from Guantánamo Bay would find jobs afterward in police departments in New England towns to brutalize Black people.
The state doesn't compartmentalize its agents and instruments of repression. Why should our movements? By emphasizing how struggles against Islamophobia and anti-Black racism are dissimilar, the critics of #MuslimLivesMatter prevent us from better understanding how to fight against both--while leaving the American state, the elephant in the room, off the hook.
SOLIDARITY CAN'T be reduced to discussions of the use and abuse of hashtags. But to honor those murdered by racist vigilantes, police and the U.S. military--whether Black or non-Black, Muslim or non-Muslim--we need to strengthen our knowledge of history and our politics in our activist organizations and coalitions.
There is a reason why we pay attention to Martin Luther King's and Malcolm X's opposition to the Vietnam War, which drew the ire of those who believed the struggle for civil rights at home was separate from U.S. wars abroad. For King and Malcolm, this opposition wasn't just a moral question, but one that directly linked U.S. imperial adventures abroad--hypocritically masked in the rhetoric of human rights, freedom and democracy--to the denial of rights and humanity of Black people at home.
Instead of separating our struggles, we must explain why Muslims should identify with the Black freedom struggle in the U.S.--and not with the American state, nor with authoritarian and sectarian states in the Middle East and South Asia. And we must insist that solidarity with ordinary Arabs and Muslims and their struggles in the Middle East, Central Asia, Africa, Europe and North America will strengthen the struggle for Black freedom from terror and racism.
Instead of calling out others, this moment should be the time to deepen Muslim involvement in the Black Lives Matter movement and other social struggles. Now is the time to recall and strengthen recent initiatives of Black/Arab and Black/Muslim solidarity, like the Hijabs and Hoodies campus protests against the murder of Trayvon Martin in 2012, the hundreds of Arabs and Muslims who protested the honoring of LAPD Deputy Chief Michael Downing at the annual convention of the Muslim Public Affairs Council in 2014, and the historic Black Lives Matter delegation to Palestine in January 2015, among others.
In the words of Mustafa Abdullah, co-founder of Muslims for Ferguson: "My hope is that Muslims really begin to see that our own liberation, and our own freedom are intricately intertwined with the freedom of the youth that are on the street in Ferguson." | positive |
Warfarin is one of those drugs that always sends off little red warning lights when I see it on a patient’s medication list. Am I going to do something that will make this patient bleed out? Which drugs interact with warfarin?
Warfarin is a high-risk medication capable of causing significant harm to our patients. Emergency clinicians should always evaluate their patients in light of this medication being on a patient’s profile. One of the most common places to potentially cause harm to our patients is by prescribing medications that interact with warfarin by increasing the INR and chances of a catastrophic bleed, or by decreasing the INR and exposing patients to the risk of thrombosis. Due to warfarin’s long half-life and delayed effect, drug interactions with warfarin are usually not apparent in the immediate management of emergency department patients. However, we should take great care in considering warfarin drug interactions whenever we add a medication to patients already taking warfarin, or ask them stop a chronic medication.
The official list on Lexicomp seems to get longer every time I look at it. Dr. David Juurlink, head of Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto, wrote a summary in CMAJ1 that may help simplify how emergency clinicians think about drug interactions with warfarin.
Mechanism of action by warfarin
Warfarin is an antagonist of vitamin K. It inhibits the conversion of oxidized vitamin K epoxide into its reduced form, which is required for gamma-carboxylation of the coagulation factors II, VII, IX and X, as well as the anticoagulant proteins C and S. Warfarin exists as a racemic mixture of two isomers, S-warfarin and R-warfarin, and is primarily metabolized in the liver’s cytochrome P450 isoenyzme 2C9.2,3
Mechanisms of injury
Dr. Juurlink provides an easy way to think through the big classes of medications that interact with warfarin.1 To break it down, there are classic four pathways whereby patients on warfarin may experience increased bleeding.
Inference with platelet function Patients who are on drugs that impair platelet function, such as aspirin, clopidogrel, and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), will increase the risk of major bleeding if patients are concurrently taking warfarin, despite a normal INR. Injury to gastrointestinal mucosa Concomitant NSAIDs can lead to gastric mucosal injury and ulceration, which can increase the risk of bleed when taken with warfarin. Reduced synthesis of vitamin K by intestinal flora Antibiotics alter the synthesis of vitamin K by the intestinal flora and may potentiate the effect of warfarin. Interruption of the vitamin K cycle or interference with warfarin metabolism Many drugs may disrupt the vitamin K cycle or modulate the expression or activity of CYP2C9. This will affect warfarin’s concentration and its elimination. Acetaminophen is known to affect the vitamin K cycle. Antibiotics can augment or decrease the effectiveness of warfarin. For example, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim or metronidazole may increase warfarin’s effects, and clinicians should consider lowering the dose of warfarin or closely following the INR. On the other hand, rifampin may decrease warfarin’s effects, resulting in patients requiring a higher dose of warfarin to achieve a therapeutic INR.
Another way to remember warfarin drug-drug interactions is to think of the 8 A’s:
A ntibiotics
ntibiotics A ntifungals
ntifungals A ntidepressants
ntidepressants A ntiplatelets
ntiplatelets A miodarone
miodarone A nti-inflammatory agents
nti-inflammatory agents A cetaminophen
cetaminophen Alternative remedies
For emergency clinicians the most common A‘s will occur with Antibiotics, Antiplatelets, and Anti-inflammatory agents. For example, when prescribing SMX/TMP or levofloxacin, evaluate for potential drug-drug interactions utilizing an electronic drug-drug interaction database or speaking with a pharmacist. Concomitant warfarin does not necessarily contraindicate the use of these medications; however, patients should be counseled about the importance of an INR check within 3-4 days with their regular provider or at an anticoagulation clinic.
Mobile tools to check warfarin interactions
Epocrates (iOS/Android) has a comprehensive, but easy-to-use list that may be accessed from your mobile phone. Drug interactions are classified as, “avoid completely,” “monitor,” and “caution advised.” Drugs can also be searched alphabetically. What I like the most about the Epocrates tool is that it allows you to add and check for specific interactions between any number of drugs.
For example, inputing coumadin and levofloxacin in the Interaction Check section, resulted in a “Monitor/Modify Tx” recommendation:
Micromedex (iOS/Android) is also another resource to check for warfarin interactions. I like it because it breaks the list down by “contraindicated,” “major,” and “moderate.” It does create a huge, difficult-to-digest alphabetical list, but it is helpful that Micromedex provides evidence behind the interaction, and classifies the interaction as “established” or “probable” (though it appears that most things are “probable” rather than “known” interactions).
**The author has no conflict of interest or disclosures with these companies.
Summary
Warfarin provides significant benefits for patients who are at risk or have established thromboembolic disease. However, warfarin remains a high-risk medication with significant harms when used or monitored inappropriately. Emergency clinicians should always take into account drug-drug interactions with warfarin when prescribing new medications or instructing patients to stop a long-term medication. Many different drug interaction tools exist online; however, when in doubt, consider consulting your hospital’s pharmacist or an anticoagulation clinic if available. Finally, as many drugs and disease states can affect the INR, patients should be instructed to have a repeat INR soon after their ED visit.

Free and open-source implementation of Java SE
OpenJDK (Open Java Development Kit) is a free and open-source implementation of the Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE).[1] It is the result of an effort Sun Microsystems began in 2006. The implementation is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL) version 2 with a linking exception. Were it not for the GPL linking exception, components that linked to the Java class library would be subject to the terms of the GPL license. OpenJDK is the official reference implementation of Java SE since version 7.[2][3][4]
Components [ edit ]
The OpenJDK project produces a number of components: most importantly the virtual machine (HotSpot), the Java Class Library and the Java compiler (javac).
The web-browser plugin and Web Start, which form part of Oracle Java, are not included in OpenJDK. Sun previously indicated that they would try to open-source these components, but neither Sun nor Oracle have done so.[5] The only currently available free plugin and Web Start implementations as of 2016 are those provided by IcedTea.[citation needed]
In September 2016, an Oracle employee detailed plans to add AOT compilation to the OpenJDK using the GraalVM.[6]
OpenJDK versions [ edit ]
OpenJDK was initially based only on the JDK 7 version of the Java platform.[7]
Since JDK 10 the effort to produce an open-source reference implementation of the Java SE Platform was moved over to the JDK Project.[8] Unlike past JDK Release Projects, which produced just one feature release and then terminated, this long-running Project will produce all future JDK feature releases and will ship a feature release every six months according to a strict, time-based model.[9]
There are several separate OpenJDK & JDK Project development branches:
The JDK project release 11. [10]
The JDK project release 10. [10]
The OpenJDK 9 project, which is the basis for JDK 9. [11]
The OpenJDK 8u project, which is based on JDK 8 and produces updates to the existing Java 8 releases. [12]
The OpenJDK 8 project, which is the basis for JDK 8, was released on 18 March 2014. [13]
The OpenJDK 7u project, which is based on JDK 7 and produces updates to the existing Java 7 releases. [14]
The OpenJDK 6 project, which is based on JDK 7, retrofitted to provide an open-source version of Java 6.[15][16][17] Note that Red Hat resigned leadership of OpenJDK 6 at the beginning of 2017 and this was then taken up by Azul Systems.[18][19]
IcedTea and inclusion in software distributions [ edit ]
In order to bundle OpenJDK in Fedora and other free GNU/Linux distributions, OpenJDK needed to be buildable using only free software components. Due to the encumbered components in the class library and implicit assumptions within the build system that the JDK being used to build OpenJDK was a Sun JDK, this was not possible. To achieve openness, Red Hat started the IcedTea project in June 2007.[20] It began life as an OpenJDK/GNU Classpath hybrid that could be used to bootstrap OpenJDK, replacing the encumbrances with code from GNU Classpath.[21][22]
On November 5, 2007, Red Hat signed both the Sun Contributor Agreement and the OpenJDK Community TCK License.[23] One of the first benefits of this agreement is tighter alignment with the IcedTea project, which brings together Fedora, the Linux distribution, and JBoss, the application server, technologies in a Linux environment. IcedTea provided free software alternatives for the few remaining proprietary sections in the OpenJDK project.
In May 2008, the Fedora 9[24][25] and Ubuntu 8.04[26] distributions included IcedTea 6, based completely on free and open source code.[27] Fedora 9 was the first version to be shipped with IcedTea6, based on the OpenJDK6 sources from Sun rather than OpenJDK7. It was also the first to use OpenJDK for the package name (via the OpenJDK trademark agreement) instead of IcedTea.[24] Ubuntu also first packaged IcedTea7[28] before later moving to IcedTea6. Packages for IcedTea6 were also created for Debian and included in Lenny. On July 12, 2008, Debian accepted OpenJDK-6 in unstable,[29][30] and it is now in stable.[31] OpenJDK is also available on openSUSE,[32] Red Hat Enterprise Linux and RHEL derivatives such as CentOS.[33]
In June 2008, Red Hat announced that the packaged binaries for OpenJDK on Fedora 9, built using IcedTea 6, had passed the Technology Compatibility Kit tests and could claim to be a fully compatible Java 6 implementation.[34] In July 2009, an IcedTea 6 binary build for Ubuntu 9.04 passed all of the compatibility tests in the Java SE 6 TCK.[35]
Since August 2008, OpenJDK 7 is usable on Mac OS X and other BSD variants.[36]
On Android Nougat, OpenJDK replaces the now-discontinued Apache Harmony as the Java libraries in the source code of the mobile operating system. Google has been in an ongoing legal dispute with Oracle over claims of copyright and patent infringement through its use of re-implementations of copyrighted Java APIs via Harmony. While also stating that this change was to create a more consistent platform between Java on Android and other platforms, the company admitted that the switch was motivated by the lawsuit, arguing that Oracle had authorized its use of the OpenJDK code by licensing it under the GPL.[37]
History [ edit ]
Sun's promise and initial release [ edit ]
Sun announced in JavaOne 2006 that Java would become open-source software,[38][39] and on October 25, 2006, at the Oracle OpenWorld conference, Jonathan Schwartz said that the company intended to announce the open-sourcing of the core Java Platform within 30 to 60 days.[40]
Sun released the Java HotSpot virtual machine and compiler as free software under the GNU General Public License on November 13, 2006, with a promise that the rest of the JDK (which includes the Java Runtime Environment) would be placed under the GPL by March 2007, "except for a few components that Sun does not have the right to publish in source form under the GPL".[41] According to free-software advocate Richard Stallman, this would end the "Java trap", the vendor lock-in that he argues applied to Java and programs written in Java.[42]
Release of the class library [ edit ]
Following their promise to release a Java Development Kit (JDK) based almost completely on free and open-source code in the first half of 2007,[43] Sun released the complete source code of the Java Class Library under the GPL on May 8, 2007, except for some limited parts that had been licensed to Sun by third parties and Sun was unable to re-license under the GPL.[44] Included in the list of encumbered parts were several major components of the Java graphical user interface (GUI). Sun stated that it planned to replace the remaining proprietary components with alternative implementations and to make the class library completely free.
When initially released in May 2007, 4% of the OpenJDK class library remained proprietary.[45] By the appearance of OpenJDK 6 in May 2008, less than 1% (the SNMP implementation,[46] which is not part of the Java specification) remained,[24] making it possible to build OpenJDK without any binary plugs.[46] The binary plug requirement was later dropped from OpenJDK 7 as part of b53 in April 2009.[47]
This was made possible, over the course of the first year, by the work of Sun Microsystems and the OpenJDK community. Each encumbrance[48] was either released as free and open-source software or replaced with an alternative. Beginning in December 2010, all the so-called binary plugs were replaced by open-source replacements, making the whole JDK open sourced and the binary plugs not necessary anymore.[49]
Community improvements [ edit ]
On November 5, 2007, Red Hat announced an agreement with Sun, signing Sun's broad contributor agreement (which covers participation in all Sun-led free and open-source software projects by all Red Hat engineers) and Sun's OpenJDK Community Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK) License Agreement (which gives the company access to the test suite that determines whether a project based on OpenJDK complies with the Java SE 6 specification).[50]
Also in November 2007, the Porters Group was created on OpenJDK to aid in efforts to port OpenJDK to different processor architectures and operating systems. The BSD porting project is led by Kurt Miller and Greg Lewis and the Mac OS X porting project (based on the BSD one) led by Landon Fuller have expressed interest in joining OpenJDK via the Porters Group and as of January 2008 are part of the mailing list discussions. Another project pending formalization on the Porters Group is the Haiku Java Team, led by Bryan Varner.[51]
In December 2007, Sun moved the revision control of OpenJDK from TeamWare to Mercurial, as part of the process of releasing it to open-source communities.[52][53]
OpenJDK has comparatively strict procedures of accepting code contributions: every proposed contribution must be reviewed by another OpenJDK committer and the contributor must have signed the Sun/Oracle Contributor Agreement (SCA/OCA).[54] Preferably, there should also be a jtreg[55] test demonstrating that the bug has been fixed. Initially, the external patch submission process was slow[56] and commits to the codebase were only made by Sun engineers, until September 2008.[57] The process has improved and, as of 2010 , simple patches and backports from OpenJDK 7 to OpenJDK 6 can take place within hours rather than days.[58]
On 25 September 2013, Microsoft and Azul Systems collaborated to create Zulu,[59] a build of OpenJDK for users of the Windows Azure cloud. Zulu is available as a free download from the community site at Zulu.org. It is also possible to get Zulu on Amazon Web Services,[60] via Canonical's Juju Charm Store,[61] the Docker Hub,[62] and Azul Systems repositories. Azul contributes bug fixes and enhancements back to the OpenJDK project and has several project committers on staff.[63]
Since April 2016 there are unsupported community builds of the OpenJDK for Microsoft Windows on GitHub in the project ojdkbuild which are released in pace with updates for Oracle JDK. From build 8u151 on, the MSI-installer offers an optional component for using Java Web Start based on the IcedTea-Web project.
Collaboration with IBM, Apple, and SAP [ edit ]
On October 11, 2010, IBM, by far the biggest participant in the Apache Harmony project, decided to join Oracle on the OpenJDK project, effectively shifting its efforts from Harmony to OpenJDK.[64][65] Bob Sutor, IBM's head of Linux and open source, blogged that "IBM will be shifting its development effort from the Apache Project Harmony to OpenJDK".[66]
On November 12, 2010, Apple Inc. (just three weeks after deprecating its own Java runtime port[67]) and Oracle Corporation announced the OpenJDK project for Mac OS X. Apple will contribute most of the key components, tools and technology required for a Java SE 7 implementation on Mac OS X, including a 32-bit and 64-bit HotSpot-based Java virtual machine, class libraries, a networking stack and the foundation for a new graphical client.[68]
On January 11, 2011, the Mac OS X Port Project was created on OpenJDK, and Apple made the first public contribution of code to the project. The initial Apple contribution built on the OpenJDK BSD port.[69]
In July 2011, SAP AG announced that SAP officially joined the OpenJDK project.[70]

Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do” video is smashing streaming records after its world premiere on Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards.
In less than 24 hours, the self-mocking clip has racked up more than 31 million views at press time, the most-viewed music video in that time span so far this year. At its peak, the video was attracting 3 million views per hour, surpassing both the year’s biggest musical debut (the “Despacito” remix featuring Justin Bieber — 22 million views in 24 hours) and Adele’s “Hello,” which logged 27 million in that time frame in 2015.
Meanwhile, the lyric video, with a head-start after its Friday debut, now sits at 43.5 million views after decimating the previous record for most views for a lyric video in a 24-hour period.
According to the latest Spotify data, the Swift smash has been streamed 23 million times. Download sales went from a first-day high of 189,144 to 31,514 on Saturday and 25,242 yesterday, for a three-day total of 245,900, impressive in an era of diminishing track sales.
Meanwhile, iHeartRadio’s premiere of the song at 144 Top 40 and Hot AC stations resulted in “Look What You Made Me Do” landing at No. 18 on the Mediabase Top 40 chart, with 5,400 spins (39 million total audience); No. 16 on the Hot AC chart, with more than 1,942 spins (15 million); and No. 23 on AC, with 178 spins (2.8 million).

The song remains at the top of the Apple Music, Spotify U.S. and Global Top 50, and Amazon Music charts.
Swift has teamed up with Ticketmaster’s new Verified Fan program to offer her followers a chance to buy tickets to her upcoming concert tour by participating in various “boost activities” until initial registration closes on Nov. 28. Will the album, “Reputation,” which arrives Nov. 10, be part of a ticket bundle? Target has already announced a pre-order for two, 72-page collectable magazines featuring the album with unique content, including poetry, photos, artwork, and hand-written lyrics, selling for $19.99 apiece.
The ambitious Swift has her sights firmly set on Adele’s U.S. record of 3.4 million albums sold in one week, set in November 2015 for “25.” | positive |
There is an abundance of sympathetic stimulation in patients who present in ventricular fibrillation (VF) or pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT) whether endogenously released as a stress response or exogenously administered in a resuscitation attempt.1 The hope is that sympathetic stimulation will increase the coronary and cerebral perfusion pressure of the patient and aid in resuscitation. However, there are numerous detrimental effects associated with epinephrine such as an increase in myocardial oxygen demand leading to increased ischemia.2
Contrary to traditional teaching, interesting evidence exists in both animal models as well as in limited reports in human subjects that show a potential benefit with beta blockade in cardiac arrest.
ANIMAL STUDIES
In a porcine VF model, this unopposed alpha-stimulation resulted in higher systolic and diastolic aortic pressure and coronary perfusion pressure before defibrillation when treated with atenolol and epinephrine versus epinephrine and placebo. Nine of the 10 pigs in the intervention group achieved return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) while only 4 of 10 pigs in the epinephrine/placebo group achieved the same end point. The atenolol group also required fewer defibrillation attempts to achieve ROSC.3 This is just one of the many examples of animal trials available in the literature to date.
Animal trials leave much to be desired when evaluating this intervention for human use. For starters, animal trials incorporate beta blockade at the beginning of resuscitation. It is unclear whether incorporating beta blockade later in the resuscitation attempt will produce the same outcomes. Secondly, animal trials are unable to evaluate the neurologic outcomes of their subjects. Finally, the animals tested lack the underlying disease that we will see in the patients presenting to our emergency departments. Fortunately, we have compelling pieces of evidence that beta blockade may be beneficial for some human cardiac arrest patients. For example, this benefit has been shown in hospitalized patients with known electrical storm treated with sympathetic blockade when compared to advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) therapy.4
HUMAN STUDIES
Recently, a retrospective review by Driver and colleagues compared the outcomes of patients treated with esmolol versus those who received care without a beta blocking intervention.5 Esmolol was selected due to its rapid onset and short duration of action. This review examined patients who had VF refractory to standard therapy (at least 3 defibrillation attempts, at least 3 doses of epinephrine, and a minimum of 300 mg amiodarone). Patients meeting these inclusion criteria treated with and without esmolol were compared. Remarkably, of the 6 patients treated with esmolol, 4 achieved ROSC and 3 (50%) survived to discharge with good neurologic function despite prolonged CPR times of approximately one hour. Of the 19 patients in the comparator group, 6 achieved ROSC, 3 survived to discharge (16%) and 2 had good neurologic outcomes (11%; no differences statistically significant). While many factors may have contributed to these outcomes (chance, mechanical CPR, impedance threshold device, careful selection of patients, etc), it is reasonable for EM providers to consider beta blocking therapy in select patients due to the universally poor outcomes associated with prolonged cardiac arrest.
INHALATIONAL ABUSE
Another patient population in which beta blockade may theoretically be beneficial includes patients with suspected inhalation abuse. It is theorized that inhalation abuse results in sensitization of the myocardium, making the patient susceptible to cardiac events.6 “Sudden sniffing death” most commonly presents in patients who were abusing inhalants and had sudden sympathetic stimulation such as fear (being caught) or exercise.7 While there are not documented case reports of beta blocker therapy for this highly specific indication, it stands to logic that beta blockade may be able to overcome the sympathetic stimulation on the heart and possibly produce a benefit in this subset of cardiac arrest patients.
CONCLUSION
While I do not advocate the use of beta blockade in all cardiac arrest patients, esmolol may be considered in selected patient populations. Beta blockade should be considered in patients who are non-responsive to traditional ACLS therapies and continue to have shockable rhythms. Esmolol would be my agent of choice due to its extremely quick onset and duration of action. Like all medications however, esmolol is not without risk. Careful attention and clinical judgment must be applied to all patients with specific attention to hemodynamic status looking for evidence of cardiogenic shock.
TAKE HOME POINTS
Detrimental effects of adrenergic stimulation may hinder the ability to achieve ROSC in some cardiac arrest patients.
Use judgment: In patients who do not respond to conventional care via the ACLS algorithm AND continue to have shockable rhythms, beta blockade may be considered.
Beta blockade may also benefit patients who are suspected to have abused inhalants prior to arrest, especially if found in situation of physical or emotional stress.
Esmolol is the ideal beta blocker currently available due to its pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile.
Monitor patients for efficacy and adverse effects of beta blockade and adjust therapy accordingly

Phone slam 3: The slammening
In part two of project iRotary, we actually got the phone to make calls, but we couldn’t talk or hear the other person. In this part, I promised you some hardcore microphone-to-headset action, and that’s exactly what I won’t deliver!
Instead, what I did was to procure the gorgeous phone you saw in the previous posts. That’s right! All this series so far has been a ruse! I didn’t have that phone to start with, I didn’t have it at all!
However, I do have it now, and I managed to enclose the Arduino in the actual phone. Let’s see how that happened.
Part three
I am going to post some actual code in this part, since everything is tied together and mostly working. Let’s look at how events are implemented.
Events
Events are monitored with edge detection. Rather than check when a signal is high, we check for the edge transition from low to high, and vice versa. In this case, we’re checking for low because low means pressed, because of the INPUT_PULLUP input mode. Here’s the relevant code, straight from the iRotary repository
#define PIN_BUTTON_HALF 6 char buttonHalfEdge = 0 ; void checkButtonHalfPressed () { if ( digitalRead ( PIN_BUTTON_HALF ) == LOW ) { if ( buttonHalfEdge == 0 ) { buttonHalfPressed (); } buttonHalfEdge = 1 ; } else { if ( buttonHalfEdge == 1 ) { buttonHalfReleased (); } buttonHalfEdge = 0 ; } }
When a rising or falling edge is detected, the appropriate function is called. This allows us to decouple the code that does stuff from the code that checks when the stuff needs to be done, and not have to think about checking the buttons at all. All we need to worry about is filling in the buttonHalfPressed() and buttonHalfReleased() events, and the code above will make sure they get called at the appropriate times.
I duplicated this code for the other view events (hook, full button press), and those work the exact same way as the snippet above.
Pulse dialing
Reading the actual pulses is simple edge detection as well:
void readPulses () { char pinPulse = digitalRead ( PIN_PULSE ); if ( pinPulse == HIGH && edge == 0 ) { pulses ++ ; edge = 1 ; } else if ( pinPulse == LOW && edge == 1 ) { edge = 0 ; } }
First, we need to make sure we are actually in a dialing state, which is not shown in this snippet. This is because there are various states, such as “in call”, “idle” and “ready to dial”, which are different from “dialing”, which occurs when the user has rotated the dial all the way to the right and is now ready to release it so it can start rotating back to the beginning (that’s when we count the pulses).
If the edge goes from low to high, it’s a pulse, so count it. When dialing finishes, the results are tallied and the digit is formed.
Checking the phone state
Checking the phone state is very important. We don’t want to make a mistake and start dialing while there’s an incoming call, or begin dialing while there’s an outgoing call. However, this operation is expensive (and laggy), so we only want to do it once per second. Here’s the code:
void checkStatus () { byte status ; if ( millis () - 1000 > statusCheckTime ) { statusCheckTime = millis (); Serial . println ( "Checking status..." ); status = call . CallStatus (); if ( lastStatus != status && status == CALL_INCOM_VOICE ) { ringingStarted (); } if ( lastStatus != status && lastStatus == CALL_INCOM_VOICE ) { ringingStopped (); } lastStatus = status ; } }
We basically store the last check time in a variable and check to see whether a full second has passed. If it hasn’t, we return, otherwise we check to see what the status is and store that in a variable.
Part three result
This is the best-looking mobile phone to date:
workaround
You can definitely see the finished product starting to take shape. All that’s left to do now is connect the hook and handset, put some batteries in it, and my magnum opus will be complete.
The battery is going to be the hardest part of the build, since I want to somehow be able to both power the phone from it, and charge the battery itself if I plug a USB cable into the phone. I also want to install a switch somewhere, so I can turn it off when I don’t use it.
For all you loyal fans, here’s a small sneak peek of part four (the final part):

Every share makes Black Voice louder! Share To Share To
“She was like, ‘You can’t afford this,’ is how she looked at me,” Black actress Zendaya Coleman recounted her experience with the racist cashier.
Racial discrimination in America against Black people seems to know no boundaries. The Black person is met with all sort of racist abuse in every area of their lives; from the community to schools, to the workplace, shopping centers, among others.
Black actress Zendaya Coleman had her share of this disgusting act when she walked into a Vons store in Los Angeles to shop. Coleman posted a series of videos on Snapchat, narrating her ordeal with a racist cashier at the store.
According to the Black young actress, she wasn’t accorded the appropriate treatment and services which ordinarily would have been given to any other customer because of her skin colour.
In her video, she said, “So we just got out of this Vons. Now I am trying to buy a lot of gift cards. … There are certain limits and some things, which is understandable.” She further added that “The lady that was helping us, I don’t think she was a huge fan of our skin tone.”
At the time of the recording, Coleman was in the company of a friend who asserted to the disgraceful encounter, she said, “Not at all! She was rude.”
The aggrieved and disappointed Black actress continued to narrate her unfortunate encounter with the racist. She said, “I recall her not trying to help us at all, saying that we couldn’t buy the gift cards and then throwing my wallet. I just can’t make this s–t up.” She also added that “This is the s–t we deal with.”
According to Coleman, the cashier instantly judged them because they were Black. She said, “She was like, ‘You can’t afford this,’ is how she looked at me.”
This is a further prove of how serious the issue of racism is in our country. The Black person is yet judged by the colour of his or her skin. This madness must stop! The harassment unleashed on Black people in America is highly condemnable and all those who get involved in such practices must face some sort of punishment. The cashier has no business keeping her job. We are fed up with such humiliations.

When word began to circulate Saturday that the Clippers have weighed offering Blake Griffin and Eric Bledsoe to their Staples Center co-tenants for Dwight Howard in a potential sign-and-trade swap after July 1, that naturally made folks wonder where the Lakers stand in their quest to re-sign Howard when he becomes an unrestricted free agent.
Here's the latest:
• The Lakers have had several discussions with Howard's representatives over the past few weeks and remain confident that they will ultimately keep him with the franchise, even as he's made it clear he will entertain other suitors.
• Yet the Lakers also, according to sources, have not completely ruled out the idea of a sign-and-trade if they come to find next month that Howard is determined to leave. Sources say they are indeed leaning against sign-and-trade scenarios because they'd rather bank the resultant cap space from Howard's departure for the summer of 2014. But sources say they've adopted a keep-all-options-open approach. So they'll at least listen to just about anything.
• One source with knowledge of the Lakers' thinking said Saturday that any suggestion they could not philosophically allow themselves to make a major trade with the Clippers was "overblown." If the Clippers do indeed decide to formally offer Griffin and Bledsoe in a sign-and-trade package for Howard, indications are that it's a proposal the Lakers will certainly not dismiss outright.
• The threat of the James Harden-led Rockets signing Howard away from L.A. is very real to the Lakers, sources said, which means the Lakers will eventually be getting a sign-and-trade pitch from Houston as well. The Rockets will have the cap space to sign Howard outright after the expected shedding of Thomas Robinson's contract, but sources say that the Rockets will certainly attempt to convince the Lakers to take in return Omer Asik and Jeremy Lin in a sign-and-trade deal for Howard, thus theoretically keeping alive the possibility that Houston could preserve its cap space to pursue Chris Paul and possibly pair Howard with Paul.
• Asik is a quality defensive anchor at roughly half Howard's price. And Lin had the greatest success of his career under Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni. But sources maintain that the Lakers' main priority this offseason -- besides re-signing Howard -- is getting their financial house in order. Which is why the overriding expectation persists that L.A. will rebuff sign-and-trade proposals to simply bank the cap space for the summer of 2014 if Howard bolts.
• Should Howard decide to leave the Lakers, sources said, several options have been discussed internally in Lakerland. Among them: The Lakers could simply let him walk, go into the season with Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol and Steve Nash as their centerpieces -- as they had planned in July 2012 before the trade for Howard materialized -- and focus on slicing into their luxury-tax bill. | positive |

FBA Mistakes a Seller Can Avoid With Amazon FBA Coaching About Us Enroll Blog Contact Us LoginSign Up LoginSign Up About Us Enroll Blog Contact Us Blog › Amazon Course, Amazon FBA › 10 FBA Mistakes You Can Help a Seller Avoid With Amazon FBA Coaching 10 FBA Mistakes You Can Help a Seller Avoid With Amazon FBA Coaching Lara Leung 09-06-2022 New sellers can easily make mistakes on a complex system like Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), but the consequences are difficult. For this reason, it's wise to learn from someone who knows a thing or two about the system before taking further action. That's where Amazon FBA coaching comes in. Suppose you want to become an FBA expert and help newbie Amazon sellers avoid making costly mistakes. Right now, you don't have sufficient knowledge and experience, so you're thinking of getting an Amazon FBA course as your first step. Let's start with this blog about ten common FBA mistakes you can help an Amazon FBA seller avoid! Avoid These 10 Mistakes With the Best Amazon FBA Coaching Amazon FBA might be an easy and hassle-free program to many, especially since it's primarily designed to spare sellers the hassle of ecommerce shipping. However, it's a completely different world for those still learning the ropes. It’s normal to make mistakes in such a competitive platform, but you don't have to watch your future client suffer severe consequences. Instead, you can help them alleviate the severity of the outcome or avoid the matter altogether with proper Amazon FBA training. Here are ten common mistakes to watch out for! #1: Violating Amazon's Policies You might wonder why someone would go to the trouble of signing up for Amazon FBA only to break the platform's rules and regulations. They do exist, unfortunately, but it's not always because they are the bad guys on the internet. In fact, some of them are completely unaware of violating because they are new to the marketplace. Your FBA expert will ensure you understand the ins and outs of Amazon's terms and conditions, from basic terminologies to the specific requirements per product, listing, or inventory. That way, you can help your future seller clients avoid getting an account suspension. At the same time, you'll learn about creating appeals or account reinstatement in the event of suspension. #2: Poor Inventory Management New sellers often make the mistake of overlooking their shipments, thinking that Amazon is completely responsible for taking care of their inventory. Sounds like bad news to us, though! If the seller doesn't know what's currently happening in the shipment process, they will have many inventory issues. Examples are inadequate restocks, bad product conditions, unnecessary fees, and other possible issues in the supply chain. Ultimately, this leads to missed opportunities in sales and revenue and a bad reputation. An FBA coach teaches you how to build a good inventory management and tracking system to help your clients monitor their shipments at all times. #3: Picking the Wrong Freight Forwarder New sellers often fail to distinguish between a freight forwarding company with FBA expertise and those without. They think any reputable company will suffice when, in reality, they're only bringing more problems to their plate. For one, these companies don't know Amazon's strict shipping regulations well enough, so they might violate the rules. This is bad news for the seller because Amazon will reject their inventory, eliminate their goods, charge sky-high fees, or completely shut down any transactions with them. Your FBA mentor will teach you how to find and check freight forwarders who specialize in FBA. This way, you can assist your clients in finding one who will not cause financial or legal problems on the platform. #4: Poor Cost Tracking and Calculation The Amazon marketplace is notorious for its hidden fees. As a result, new FBA sellers overly invested in their venture may overlook shipping costs and earn money to cover these fees instead of profit. We're talking about storage, fulfillment, product category, and freight expenses. Sellers must keep track of and calculate such costs so they don't get surprised by additional fees and avoid unnecessary charges. Moreover, it will help them secure profitability. The best Amazon FBA course will teach you about these specific FBA fees to help sellers pay only for necessary charges. #5: Choosing an Incorrect Shipping Method Stockouts, shipment delays, and high fees—you can avoid these problems with a fitting shipping method. Unfortunately, some new sellers fail to learn more about these methods, which creates a massive difference in transit time and charges. So they end up picking an inappropriate method and suffering the consequences. For example, express shipping is the fastest, but it's more expensive and doesn't suit heavy goods. Meanwhile, ocean shipments have more flexible shipping options and lower costs but longer transit times. As an aspiring FBA expert, you should ask your coach for advice on helping your client maintain good inventory performance and sell-through rate (STR). #6: Not Getting Cargo Insurance Incidents can happen at one point in the shipment process. The packages could get stuck for a long time, physically harmed, or even worse, involved in a theft. In the presence of such risks, a new seller must protect their packages with insurance. But for whatever reason, some cannot insure their goods before it's too late. Cargo insurance will help sellers get quick reimbursement and compensation for damaged goods. Your FBA coach will advise you on two things: (1) what to tell a new Amazon seller about insurance coverage and (2) how to find an insurance agency with a dependable policy and an affordable rate. #7: Not Following Your Shipping Plan Why make a shipping plan when you're not going to follow it? Amazon FBA relies on the information in this plan to coordinate their warehouses and manage your inventory. Once a seller has submitted a shipping plan, and the platform approves it, they expect you to follow it. But when a seller fails to send or delete shipments from the plan, Amazon will send a warning. This adds unnecessary time for rerouting inventory. Worse, Amazon can revoke the seller's shipping rights or suspend the account. With an FBA course, you'll learn the best shipping plan creation and inventory management practices to help your client stay compliant. #8: Wrong Product Details Imagine going through long shipment procedures only to get interrupted by a minor product error—a wrong label, address, weight, classification, or FBA ineligibility. These issues can significantly harm a seller's account, sales, and Amazon selling rights. Unfortunately, new sellers have difficulty catching up with the policies and forget to check these details. FBA training can help you advise a seller to avoid this time-consuming and costly mistake. You will learn how to check product eligibility for FBA, apply product labels correctly, secure product packaging, and double-check shipments before sending them to the warehouse. #9: Refusing to Use Technology The business industry is continuously evolving to meet buyers' and sellers' increasing demands. It's especially important in ecommerce platforms like Amazon, where most transactions are conducted online, and shipping options are extensive. So if a seller chooses to stick to manual processes, they will have a hard time tracking data and become prone to errors. Can you imagine tracking loads of inventory data in one spreadsheet without filters and automation? Think of the wide range of information you'll deal with because buyers come from all over the world. Your FBA coach will most likely advise you to integrate inventory management software to access, customize, and organize stock data at a glance. #10: Failure to Optimize Listing and Amazon PPC Strategies Before an FBA seller can take advantage of their shipping benefits and opportunities, they must first have well-optimized product listings and ads. This will help spread the word and keep the orders coming. However, if the listings lack details, have misleading product photos, and do not use appropriate keywords, well-established competitors can easily outperform them. That's where Amazon listing optimization and PPC techniques become useful. These strategies will boost the seller's product ranking and increase exposure to buyers. That's easier said than done, though. There are several steps to optimize a product listing and PPC campaign, which you'll learn in an FBA business training course. Wrapping Up Venturing into Amazon FBA for the first time makes you vulnerable to errors. That's understandable, but the consequences will be the same for everyone. Whether your client is a new seller or not, a single violation can result in anything from a minor warning to a total suspension. But things don't always have to turn out that way. Some mistakes might be inevitable initially, but you can always help prevent or at least soften the blow. The key is to learn the ropes of Amazon FBA from experts and use that knowledge and experience to help your clients become successful sellers. Your Next Step: Amazon Seller Account Management What is an Amazon FBA coach training? Does it cover everything I can do to help an Amazon seller succeed? To answer your questions, not really. It's because FBA is just one of Amazon's programs. Even so, learning from an Amazon FBA mentor is a huge advantage because many sellers use the FBA service! They will definitely appreciate your help. If you've heard of prominent names like Kevin King, Jonathan Fitzpatrick, or Jim Cockrum, they're good examples of successful Amazon sellers. Now, they're FBA experts who help people like you or your clients learn more about the system and strategies beyond the books. There are also popular resources about FBA success, such as Amazing Selling Machine, Marketplace Superhero, Blue Sky Amazon, Wholesale Formula, Online Selling Experiment, and Private Label Master. These are all good, but they're not for everyone. If you want to learn more than just FBA, consider an account management career! Digital Academy's AAM Course: An Overview Do you want to assist a seller in maintaining good account health? Is communication your strong suit, or are you passionate about it and want to improve? Perhaps you are from a non-US country, such as the Philippines, and want to expand your virtual assistant skills. If you want to land a management position on Amazon, look no further than Digital Academy! We provide an Amazon account management course, and here's a preview of what you'll learn aside from FBA.

The AFL-CIO and its community arm, Working America, just released their 2008 Health Care for America Survey. Most of the 26,419 online respondents are insured, employed, and college graduates — those, the report explains, most likely to react positively to America’s health care system.
But with its pie charts and tables, enhanced by 489 “heart-wrenching stories about the effects of this broken health care system on them and their families,” the report is like a PDF version of Michael Moore’s movie “Sicko.” Of course, it’s to be expected that many of those who took part were prompted by the chance to air their grievances.
One of the premises on which Senators Clinton and Obama are running is the extent to which they feel our pain. In fact, Hillary consented to an in-depth interview on her plans for universal health care with Kevin Sack of the New York Times.
When taking either of their plans into consideration, one must first disabuse him or herself of the notion that, if implemented, you’re going to walk into a doctor’s office like in England and out again with nary an exchange of cash nor any paperwork. Both Obama and Clinton’s versions of “universal” coverage call for a bill that would require Americans to buy health insurance.
Require? Who doesn’t want health insurance? A few twenty-somethings too blinded by their partying to picture the illnesses they’re courting? For many others, the heart is willing, but the pocketbook is weak.
Then Sack writes, “Mrs. Clinton said she would like to cap health insurance premiums at 5 percent to 10 percent of income.” We’re not trying to pick on Hillary — she’s catching enough grief as it is — but that doesn’t sound like much in the way of relief.
Sacks adds: “She has previously said that garnishing wages would be one option” to guarantee participation. Garnishing wages?
Already you can feel yourself hyperventilating. It’s like finding out after an emergency room visit that the attending physician wasn’t on your plan. Or when doctors shoot bills — which by all rights should be sent to your insurance company — out to you like baseballs from a pitching machine.
It’s not quite as bad as all that. “Refundable tax credits would help make the newly mandatory policies affordable for low- and middle-income workers,” Sack writes. Also, “Government insurance similar to Medicare would be available to all consumers.” And, of course, Hillary “would require insurers to cover every applicant regardless of age or health status.”
Meanwhile, Obama at least understands that concerns about premiums is paramount. Mandating coverage only for children, he opposes requiring us to buy insurance until it’s affordable.
To achieve that end, Hillary suggests rolling back President Bush’s income tax cuts for those who earn more than $250,000 a year. Not to mention taxing everybody’s favorite whipping boy, the smoker.
But there’s one cost-cutting measure that Hillary, Obama, or, for that matter, anyone championing universal health care won’t touch. As one of the respondents to the Health Care for America Survey said, “Everybody deserves high quality, affordable health care.”
That’s an easy sentiment to sign on to to. But don’t “high quality” and “affordable” operate at cross-purposes to each other? In other words, measures such as increasing taxes and reducing administrative costs — such as dismantling the apparatus devoted to denying claims — may not be enough to shore it up.
In fact, it’s time to ask ourselves: Does universal health care really mean that we’re entitled to all the health care in the universe?
A critical factor sending health-care costs rocketing into the stratosphere is medical technology. For example doctors prescribe tests, MRI’s and CT scans like they’re handing out candy at Halloween. While reassured, the patient can’t help but suspect that the doctor’s underlying motive is either the promise of kickbacks from the medical technology industry or bullet-proofing the doctor from malpractice suits.
Is there a way to intercept this knee-jerk response on the part of doctors in hopes of keeping costs down? Yes, but it requires a leap of faith from a public conditioned to believe that the technological assigns a precision and accuracy to our random existences which we can no longer do without. Besides, to many of us, prosecuting a successful malpractice suit is the equivalent to winning a state lottery.
What if we freed doctors from concern about medical malpractice except in the face of criminal negligence? In other words, to keep costs down why not enable them to diagnose the old-fashioned way — by using their know-how and experience?
But the faith of doctors in technology rivals that of their patients. Like pilots who are instrument-rated, the last thing they want to do is turn the clock back to the days when they flew by the seat of their pants no matter what the visibility. Their diagnostic muscles, if ever developed, may have have long-since atrophied.
In full hyperventilation mode by now, we ask, “What? Trust doctors?”
That’s a barometer of how far health care in America has fallen in our eyes. Doesn’t anybody remember those halcyon days when we trusted no one more than our doctor? | positive |
There is no good way to die, especially when you’re only 21.
I’m like the rest of you: before yesterday, I’d never heard of Nodar Kumaritashvili. But something about his fatal crash in Vancouver hit me just so, at once blindsiding a place inside me where the beauty of life, the exhilaration of competition, the glory of human achievement, the searing pain of sudden death, and the dull ache of a lost lifetime of opportunity all improbably intersect.
There is no good way to die when you’re 21. But if you have to go at such a young age, I suppose the best way would be quickly, while doing the thing you love.
And later, to have the world bow its head for you for a few seconds. Finally, to have KD Lang offer up a heartbreaking rendition of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” in benediction…
Rest in Peace. | positive |

Caroline Lucretia Herschel (;[1] 16 March 1750 – 9 January 1848) was a German astronomer, whose most significant contributions to astronomy were the discoveries of several comets, including the periodic comet 35P/Herschel–Rigollet, which bears her name.[2] She was the younger sister of astronomer William Herschel, with whom she worked throughout her career.
She was the first woman to be awarded a Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society (1828), and to be named an Honorary Member of the Royal Astronomical Society (1835, with Mary Somerville). She was also named an honorary member of the Royal Irish Academy (1838). The King of Prussia presented her with a Gold Medal for Science on the occasion of her 96th birthday (1846).[3]
Early life [ edit ]
Caroline Lucretia Herschel was born in the town of Hanover on 16 March 1750. She was the eighth child and fourth daughter of Isaac Herschel, a self-taught oboist, and his wife, Anna Ilse Moritzen. Isaac became a bandmaster in the Hanoverian Foot Guards, whom he first joined in 1731, and was away with his regiment for substantial periods. He became ill after the Battle of Dettingen (part of the War of the Austrian Succession) in 1743 and never recovered fully; he suffered a weak constitution, chronic pain, and asthma for the remainder of his life.[3][4][5] The oldest of their daughters, Sophia, was sixteen years older, and the only surviving girl besides Caroline. She married when Caroline was five, meaning that the younger girl was tasked with much of the household drudgery.[6] Caroline and the other children received a cursory education, learning to read and write and little more. Her father attempted to educate her at home, but his efforts were mostly successful with the boys.[5]
At the age of ten, Caroline was struck with typhus, which stunted her growth, such that she never grew taller than four feet three inches.[2] She suffered vision loss in her left eye as a result of her illness.[5] Her family assumed that she would never marry and her mother felt it was best for her to train to be a house servant[7] rather than becoming educated in accordance with her father's wishes. Her father sometimes took advantage of her mother's absence by tutoring her individually, or including her in her brother's lessons, such as violin. Caroline was briefly allowed to learn dress-making. Though she learned to do needlework from a neighbour, her efforts were stymied by long hours of household chores.[3][8] To prevent her from becoming a governess and earning her independence that way, she was forbidden from learning French or more advanced needlework than what she could pick up from neighbours.[4]
Following her father's death, her brothers William and Alexander proposed that she join them in Bath, England to have a trial period as a singer for musician brother William's church performances.[3][4] Caroline eventually left Hanover on 16 August 1772 after her brother's intervention with their recalcitrant mother.[4][8] On the journey to England, she was first introduced to astronomy by way of the constellations and opticians' shops.[4]
In Bath, she took on the responsibilities of running William's household, and began learning to sing.[8] William had established himself as an organist and music teacher at 19 New King Street, Bath (now the Herschel Museum of Astronomy). He was also the choirmaster of the Octagon Chapel.[5] William was busy with his musical career and became fairly busy organising public concerts.
Caroline did not blend in with the local society and made few friends,[9] but was finally able to indulge her desire to learn, and took regular singing, English, and arithmetic lessons from her brother, and dance lessons from a local teacher.[8] She also learned to play the harpsichord, and eventually became an integral part in William's musical performances at small gatherings.[10] She became the principal singer at his oratorio concerts, and acquired such a reputation as a vocalist that she was offered an engagement for the Birmingham festival after a performance of Handel's Messiah in April 1778, where she was the first soloist. She declined to sing for any conductor but William, and after that performance, her career as a singer began to decline. Caroline was subsequently replaced as a performer by distinguished soloists from outside the area because William wished to spend less time in rehearsals to focus on astronomy.[5][4]
Transition to astronomy [ edit ]

When William became increasingly interested in astronomy, transforming himself from a musician to an astronomer, Caroline again supported his efforts. She said somewhat bitterly, in her Memoir, "I did nothing for my brother but what a well-trained puppy dog would have done, that is to say, I did what he commanded me." Ultimately, though, she became interested in astronomy and enjoyed her work.[3] In the 1770s, as William became more interested in astronomy, he started to build his own telescopes from lenses he had ground, unhappy with the quality of lenses he was able to purchase. Caroline would feed him and read to him as he worked, despite her desire to burnish her career as a professional singer.[4] She became a significant astronomer in her own right as a result of her collaboration with him.[2] The Herschels moved to a new house in March 1781 after their millinery business failed, and Caroline was guarding the leftover stock on 13 March, the night that William discovered the planet Uranus. Though he mistook it for a comet, his discovery proved the superiority of his new telescope. Caroline and William gave their last musical performance in 1782, when her brother accepted the private office of court astronomer to King George III; the last few months of their musical career had been a shambles and were critically panned.[4][11]
Astronomical career [ edit ]
First discoveries and catalogue [ edit ]
A telescope that William Herschel made for Caroline 1795
William's interest in astronomy started as a hobby to pass time at night. At breakfast the next day he would give an impromptu lecture on what he had learned the night before. Caroline became as interested as William, stating that she was "much hindered in my practice by my help being continually wanted in the execution of the various astronomical contrivances."[9] William became known for his work on high performance telescopes, and Caroline found herself supporting his efforts. Caroline spent many hours polishing mirrors and mounting telescopes in order to maximize the amount of light captured.[12] She learned to copy astronomical catalogues and other publications that William had borrowed. She also learned to record, reduce, and organize her brother's astronomical observations.[13] She recognized that this work demanded speed, precision and accuracy.[14]
Caroline was asked to move from the high culture of Bath to the relative backwater of Datchet in 1782, a small town near Windsor Castle where William would be on hand to entertain royal guests. He presumed that Caroline would become his assistant, a role she did not initially accept. She was unhappy with the accommodations they had taken; the house they rented for three years had a leaky ceiling and Caroline described it as "the ruins of a place". She was also aghast at the prices in the city and the fact that their domestic servant was imprisoned for theft at the time of her arrival. While William worked on a catalogue of 3,000 stars, studied double stars, and attempted to discover the cause of Mira's and Algol's variability, Caroline was asked to "sweep" the sky, meticulously moving through the sky in strips to search for interesting objects. She was unhappy with this task at the beginning of her work, longing for the culture of Bath and feeling isolated and lonely, but gradually developed a love for the work.[4]
On 28 August 1782 Caroline initiated her first record book. She inscribed the first three opening pages: "This is what I call the Bills & Rec.ds of my Comets"[a], "Comets and Letters", and "Books of Observations". This, along with two subsequent books, currently belong to the Herschel trove at the Royal Astronomical Society in London.[16]
On 26 February 1783, Caroline made her first discovery: she had found a nebula that was not included in the Messier catalogue. That same night, she independently discovered Messier 110 (NGC 205), the second companion of the Andromeda Galaxy. William then began to search himself for nebulae, sensing that there were many discoveries to be made. Caroline was relegated to a ladder on William's 20-foot reflector, attempting impossible measurements of double stars. William quickly realized his method of searching for nebulae was inefficient and he required an assistant to keep records. Naturally, he turned to Caroline.[4][8]
"But it was not til the last two months of the same year before I felt the least encouragement for spending the starlight nights on a grass-plot covered with dew or hoar frost without a human being near enough to be within call."[17]
In the summer of 1783, William finished building Caroline a comet-searching telescope, which she began to use immediately.[8] Beginning in October 1783, the Herschels used a 20-foot reflecting telescope to search for nebulae. Initially, William attempted to both observe and record objects, but this too was inefficient and again turned to Caroline. She sat by a window inside, William shouted his observations, and Caroline recorded. This was not a simple clerical task, however, because she would have to use John Flamsteed's catalogue to identify the star William used as a reference point for the nebulae. Because Flamsteed's catalogue was organized by constellation, it was less useful to the Herschels, so Caroline created her own catalogue organized by north polar distance.[4][17] The following morning, Caroline would go over her notes and write up formal observations, which she called "minding the heavens."[16]
Comets [ edit ]
During 1786–97 she discovered eight comets, the first on 1 August 1786. She had unquestioned priority as discoverer of five of the comets[18][19] and rediscovered Comet Encke in 1795.[20] Five of her comets were published in Philosophical Transactions. A packet of paper bearing the superscription, "This is what I call the Bills and Receipts of my Comets" contains some data connected with the discovery of each of these objects. William was summoned to Windsor Castle to demonstrate Caroline's comet to the royal family. William recorded this phenomenon, himself, terming it "My Sister's Comet."[21] Caroline Herschel is often credited as the first woman to discover a comet; however, Maria Kirch discovered a comet in the early 1700s, but is often overlooked because at the time, the discovery was attributed to her husband, Gottfried Kirch.[5]
She wrote a letter to the Astronomer Royal to announce the discovery of her second comet. The third comet was discovered on 7 January 1790, and the fourth one on 17 April 1790. She announced both of these to Sir Joseph Banks, and all were discovered with her 1783 telescope.[22] In 1791, Caroline began to use a 9-inch telescope for her comet-searching, and discovered three more comets with this instrument.[8] Her fifth comet was discovered on 15 December 1791 and the sixth on 7 October 1795. Caroline wrote in her journal during this time "My brother wrote an account of it to Sir J. Banks, Dr. Maskelyne, and to several astronomical correspondents" for the discovery of her fifth comet. Two years later, her eighth and last comet was discovered on 6 August 1797, the only comet she discovered without optical aid.[8][22] She announced this discovery by sending a letter to Banks.[22] In 1787, she was granted an annual salary of £50 (equivalent to £6,200 in 2019[23]) by George III for her work as William's assistant. Caroline's appointment made her the first woman in England honored with an official government position, and the first woman to be paid for her work in astronomy.[6][24]
In 1797 William's observations had shown that there were a great many discrepancies in the star catalogue published by John Flamsteed, which was difficult to use because it had been published as two volumes, the catalogue proper and a volume of original observations, and contained many errors. William realised that he needed a proper cross-index to properly explore these differences but was reluctant to devote time to it at the expense of his more interesting astronomical activities. He therefore recommended to Caroline that she undertake the task, which ultimately took 20 months. The resulting Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars was published by the Royal Society in 1798 and contained an index of every observation of every star made by Flamsteed, a list of errata, and a list of more than 560 stars that had not been included.[8][24] In 1825, Caroline donated the works of Flamsteed to the Royal Academy of Göttingen.[25]
Relationship with William [ edit ]
Throughout her writings, she repeatedly made it clear that she desired to earn an independent wage and be able to support herself. When the crown began paying her for her assistance to her brother in 1787, she became the first woman—at a time when even men rarely received wages for scientific enterprises—to receive a salary for services to science.[18] Her pension was £50 a year, and it was the first money that Caroline had ever earned in her own right.[8]
When William married a rich widow, Mary Pitt (née Baldwin) in 1788, the union caused tension in the brother-sister relationship. Caroline has been referred to as a bitter, jealous woman who worshipped her brother and resented those who invaded their domestic lives.[26] In his book The Age of Wonder, Richard Holmes is more sympathetic to Caroline's position, noting that the change was in many respects negative for Caroline. With the arrival of William's wife, Caroline lost her managerial and social responsibilities in the household and accompanying status. She also moved from the house to external lodgings, returning daily to work with her brother. She no longer held the keys to the observatory and workroom, where she had done much of her own work. Because she destroyed her journals from 1788 to 1798, her feelings about the period are not entirely known. In August 1799, Caroline was independently recognized for her work, when she spent a week in Greenwich as a guest of the royal family.[8]
Barthélemy Faujas de Saint-Fond indicated she and her brother continued working well during this period. When her brother and his family were away from home, she often returned there to take care of it for them. In later life, she and Lady Herschel exchanged affectionate letters, and she became deeply attached to her nephew, astronomer John Herschel.[3][8]
William's marriage likely led to Caroline's becoming more independent of her brother and more a figure in her own right.[27] Caroline made many discoveries independently of William and continued to work solo on many of the astronomical projects which contributed to her rise to fame.
New General Catalogue [ edit ]
In 1802, the Royal Society published Caroline's catalogue in its Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A under William's name. This listed around 500 new nebulae and clusters to the already known 2000.[16] Toward the end of Caroline's life, she arranged two-and-a-half thousand nebulae and star clusters into zones of similar polar distances so that her nephew, John Herschel, could re-examine them systematically. The list was eventually enlarged and renamed the New General Catalogue. Many non-stellar objects are still identified by their NGC number.[28]
Later life and legacy [ edit ]

After her brother died in 1822, Caroline was grief-stricken and moved back to Hanover, Germany, continuing her astronomical studies to verify and confirm William's findings and producing a catalogue of nebulae to assist her nephew John Herschel in his work. However, her observations were hampered by the architecture in Hanover, and she spent most of her time working on the catalogue.[8] In 1828 the Royal Astronomical Society presented her with their Gold Medal for this work – no woman would be awarded it again until Vera Rubin in 1996. Upon William's death, her nephew, John Herschel, took over observing at Slough. Caroline had given him his first introduction into astronomy, when she showed him the constellations in Flamsteed's Atlas. Caroline added her final entry to her observing book on 31 January 1824 about the Great Comet of 1832, which had already been discovered on 29 December 1823.[16] Throughout the twilight of her life, Caroline remained physically active and healthy, and regularly socialized with other scientific luminaries.[8] She spent her last years writing her memoirs and lamenting her body's limitations, which kept her from making any more original discoveries.[6]
Caroline Herschel died peacefully in Hanover on 9 January 1848. She is buried at 35 Marienstrasse in Hanover at the cemetery of the Gartengemeinde, next to her parents and with a lock of William's hair.[8] Her tombstone inscription reads, "The eyes of her who is glorified here below turned to the starry heavens."[28] With her brother, she discovered over 2400 astronomical objects over twenty years.[8] The asteroid 281 Lucretia (discovered 1888) was named after Caroline's second given name,[30] and the crater C. Herschel on the Moon is named after her.[31]
Adrienne Rich's 1968 poem "Planetarium" celebrates Caroline Herschel's life and scientific achievements.[32] The artwork The Dinner Party, which celebrates historical women who have made extraordinary contributions, features a place setting for Caroline Herschel.[33] Google honoured her with a Google Doodle on her 266th birthday (16 March 2016).[34]
Honours [ edit ]
Herschel was honoured by the King of Prussia and the Royal Astronomical Society.[14] The gold medal from the Astronomical Society was awarded to her in 1828 "for her recent reduction, to January, 1800, of the [2,500] Nebulæ discovered by her illustrious brother, which may be considered as the completion of a series of exertions probably unparalleled either in magnitude or importance in the annals of astronomical labour." She completed this work after her brother's death and her move to Hanover.[3][19][35]
The Royal Astronomical Society elected her an Honorary Member in 1835, along with Mary Somerville; they were the first women members. She was also elected as an honorary member of the Royal Irish Academy in Dublin in 1838.[6]
In 1846, at the age of 96, she was awarded a Gold Medal for Science by the King of Prussia, conveyed to her by Alexander von Humboldt, "in recognition of the valuable services rendered to Astronomy by you, as the fellow-worker of your immortal brother, Sir William Herschel, by discoveries, observations, and laborious calculations".[3]
Asteroid 281 Lucretia is named in her honor.[36]

When I think of Sprint, I don't think of performance phones; I think of BlackBerries and ruggedized flip phones meant for use on construction sites, despite the launch of the HTC Evo 4G on the network over a year ago. With the Motorola Photon 4G launch just a few days ago, Sprint continues to diversify slowly—the Photon is a performance handset with a big battery to withstand even the demands of a 4G network. But the Photon is at best a good option for a dedicated Sprint customer, and we don't see it drawing much new blood to the network.
The Photon 4G has a 4.3-inch qHD (540x960) screen backed by a 1GHz dual-core processor and 1GB of RAM. The rubberized back and beveled edges make the phone comfortable to hold, despite the sizable screen. The Photon's body is light for its size and the design is similar to the Motorola Atrix 4G, though it's thicker and has cut corners, making its front an octagon.
Like the EVO, the Photon has a kickstand, but the Photon's kickstand seems to control the phone's ability to use the home screen in landscape mode. With the kickstand kicked out and "Kickstand Enable" turned on in the settings, only then will the home screen turn to landscape mode—a mystifying restriction, but probably fixable in a software update if enough customers complain.
A sleep button sits on the top right of the Photon opposite a headphone jack, with a volume rocker and dedicated camera button along the right hand side. 16GB of storage comes standard, and a microSD slot allows for up to 32GB more.
Motorola pegs the Photon as a "worldphone," due to the staggering number of antennas packed inside: WiMAX 2500, CDMA 800/1900, WCDMA 850/1900/2100, and GSM 850/900/1800/1900. If you're looking for a phone to travel with, the Photon isn't a bad candidate.
While the front facing-camera is only VGA resolution, the rear camera is 8 megapixels with a flash and can record 720p video. Picture detail is good, better than the quick-capture preview would have you believe, though images get grainy quickly as the light levels get lower.
The rear camera on our review device was also louder than any cell phone camera we've recently encountered—entering the camera application and taking pictures made the hardware emit various high-pitched squeaks, like an ant screaming. The sounds were bearable, but we've just never heard such noises from inside a smartphone.
The Photon is equipped with micro-HDMI and -USB ports on the left-hand side as well as a WepTop app, leading us to believe it might have been prime for swapping into the Atrix's lapdock. However, the ports are flipped around compared to the Atrix's, so it wouldn't fit. A separate $100 dock can be purchased for the Photon 4G that would allow you to WebTop with it on a monitor, with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
Performing normal tasks on the Photon makes for a smooth and snappy experience, and applications open and operate without a hitch. The phone puts up impressive numbers on Linpack for Android: 43.48 MFLOPS in single-thread processes, and 64.82 MFLOPS multi-threaded, performance roughly on par with the storied Samsung Galaxy S II. Likewise, it scored a very respectable 4045ms on Sunspider.
But the Photon fared far worse in Quadrant benchmarks. It performed respectably, besting phones like the Thunderbolt, Atrix, and even the Droid 3 that came out a few weeks ago, but performing worse than the Galaxy S II by a huge margin (which Engadget clocked at 3396).
One of the phone's best features is its battery life. The Photon's 1700mAh battery lasts for a full day (around 15 hours) of light to medium use without needing a charge or having to worry much about tweaking settings that must be attended to when trying to coax an Android phone into lasting more than a scant workday. The battery fared less well when run down by video, (logging about 5.5 hours), and using 4G tempers the battery life somewhat.
But that's more than a fair compromise when using Sprint, as the 3G service was pitiful; even with full reception, according to the Photon's indicator, we couldn't get more than around 250Kbps down and 450Kbps up with this phone on 3G. Your mileage may vary, depending upon your location, but if you're not in a WiMAX market, your 3G experience may be ugly. Come to that, WiMAX, like HSPA+, has lower speed standards than the 4G LTE of Verizon and AT&T (average download of 3-6Mbps to LTE's 5-12 Mbps).
So while the Photon 4G has some redeeming qualities, we're hesitant to recommend it with so many proven phones like the Galaxy S II on the market and the Droid Bionic right around the corner ('tis the season for handset launches, after all). The exception is dedicated Sprint customers: if you're living in a sweet spot for Sprint reception that's already been blessed with 4G and are looking for a robust Android phone, the Photon could be it.
The Good:
Rubberized, rounded body is nice to hold
Performance is speedy and smooth
Battery life provides for many hours of use
Multitude of antennas
The Bad:
Camera is loud
The Ugly: | positive |

The WTA tour has seen five different world number ones this season. Two of them did not qualify for the WTA Finals in Singapore. Two more fell at the first hurdle. And the final member of the quintet was slain in the semifinals.
One of the five women referenced was 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams – who held a 0-0 win/loss record as the world’s top ranked player this season after stepping aside due to pregnancy in January. The American’s absence from Singapore is therefore perfectly natural. Still, it is just another statistic that puts into perspective the inconsistency of the WTA tour this season.
Exciting it may have been. Some brilliant clashes there certainly have been. But a cloud of fluctuation and frustration has drifted over the entire year.
Three talented players have assailed to the heights of the WTA rankings for the first time in their careers this year. Flat-hitting, big-serving Karolina Pliskova did so first, crashing out in the second round of Wimbledon before other results secured her status. Eventual Wimbledon champion Garbine Muguruza next assumed the crown, her fourth round US Open loss to Petra Kvitova not quite catastrophic as Pliskova bowed out in the quarters. And finally, year-end world no. 1 Simona Halep stepped up to take her turn by reaching the China Open final.
Halep lost that Premier final to an in-form Caroline Garcia, but it did not change her forthcoming title. She became the second Slamless player of the season to claim the coveted top ranking.
Many people have an issue with someone who is yet to win a Grand Slam title assailing the heights of tennis. It is viewed as an embarrassing look for the tour. Surely the best players in the world should have at least one major triumph to their name, proving that they can win seven straight matches in a fortnight, whilst handling the mental pressure of such an occasion and the magnitude of the stage? For what it’s worth, I agree that they should.
But here lies the crucial issue. Whilst the world no. 1 is constantly referred to by experts and adverts as “the best player in the world”, that is not always the case. For “world no. 1” and “the best” are actually two separate things.
For me, 2017 WTA Finals finalist Venus Williams is among the very best players on tour right now. She might even top the lot. The 37-year-old – enduring a chronic autoimmune disease, and often battling the doubt of onlookers – might just be as versatile as she has ever been in her illustrious career. The American can dominate with her slick power and precise serve, and she can use slice and craft smartly and maturely to come out on top from the back foot. To emerge from the round robin stage of the current event in Singapore, she disposed of Muguruza – a title favourite after a second half of the season that outdid most – in straight sets. And in the semifinals, she shrugged off losing an incredibly tight first set against Caroline Garcia – whose results in Asia have been unmatched this year – to set up a meeting with Caroline Wozniacki. The scoreline was 6-7(3) 6-2 6-3.
SEE ALSO: The Tennis Vlog – Weekly pro tennis YouTube shows!
The American has been far from perfect, but her performances continue to earn her public acclaim from her peers as though she were winning multiple Slams – despite her current world ranking of no. 5.
Of course, her achievements over the past 20 years or so have much to do with this. But the core reason that Venus is ranked so low is that she has played like one of the best in the world, without competing as much as the best in the world. She has peaked at the Grand Slams, reaching the second week at all four major events and the final at two of them. But excluding the Slams, she has played just 11 tournaments this year. In contrast, Wozniacki – her opponent on Sunday – has played 22 in total.
Can “the best” tennis player ever truly be defined? Perhaps not. There is a large element of subjectivity to it. While results and absences can be used as a basis for one’s opinion, it still remains nothing more than an opinion – however well-informed. It depends upon the perspective and mindset of a particular person. Do they see more value in a single Grand Slam title, or three Premier trophies? Do they rate the quality of opponents that a player has faced? Even if they do, their opinion there may differ to the next person in line.
But while “the best” is more vague a concept that “world no. 1”, what remains a fact is that these two titles are not one and the same. “The best” is decided by people. “World no. 1” is decided by computers. One involves eyes that can assess a physical game and strategies and opposition. One involves a machine that can see nothing more than straightforward wins and losses. It cannot even assess the story behind those numbers.
If the sport is to be commented upon fairly, then these two headings need to be distinguished from each other, and kept that way. Because they are distinctly different.
Halep’s Singapore campaign started promisingly, and ended miserably. She finishes the season with one win to two losses as world no. 1 (or three losses, if you wish to count her fall to Garcia when she had confirmed her ranking for the following day.)
Much as I admire her work ethic and skill, my instinct would be to say that she does not really deserve her top ranking at present. Nevertheless, that opinion is based on the socially constructed idea that “world no. 1” equates with “best player in the world”. And it does not.
Halep is at the helm of the rankings, and she may even be there by default. But does she deserve to be there?
Computer says ‘yes’. Whether we like it or not.

And the craziness continues.
On Monday, NFL outside counsel Mary Jo White said at the bounty appeal hearing that Mike Ornstein corroborated the claim that Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma offered $10,000 to anyone who knocked Vikings quarterback Brett Favre out of the 2009 NFC title game, and that Vilma offered $10,000 to anyone who knocked Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner out of the 2009 NFC divisional-round playoff game.
The only problem with that? Ornstein tells PFT that he never said what the NFL now claims he said.
“I never corroborated $10,000,” Ornstein said. “The only thing that I told them was that we had the [pregame] meeting, we jumped around, we screamed around, and I never saw [Vilma] offer one dime. And I never heard him say it.”
Ornstein admits that the Saints had a pay-for-performance program in 2009, but he repeatedly denied that he told the NFL that Vilma offered any money knocking any player out of any game.
“Did I say to the league that I saw Jonathan Vilma offer $10,000?” Ornstein said. “Absolutely not.”
I asked Ornstein the question several different ways, to ensure there was no ambiguity. He consistently and repeatedly (and at times profanely) denied ever telling the NFL that Vilma offered money to anyone who knocked Favre and/or Warner out of the 2009 playoff games.
It’s unclear what, if any, impact this has on the broader bounty case, other than to call into serious question the validity of the league’s reliance on Ornstein as proof that Vilma offered money to anyone, for anything. Though there’s a chance Ornstein is lying now, there’s also a chance he was lying then, and given his history of legal entanglements, the league may have badly erred by using him to support any aspect of the bounty case. | positive |

There are no dull moments in Islander Country.
Especially in the social media-centric world we live in, where every new development is magnified and over-analyzed to a level that borders on insanity.
At precisely 12:10 a.m. on Friday, just as I was about to go to sleep, TSN’s Bob McKenzie dropped a big one, informing the masses that Islanders’ owner Charles Wang was “in talks to sell (a) majority stake in (the) NHL franchise.” He also cautioned that there’s “no telling if it gets done, but talks (are) underway.”
The first thing that crept into my mind was the realization that I wasn’t going to sleep anytime soon.
The second thing was that this probably marks the beginning of the end for the Wang era.
Wang basically confirmed as much Friday afternoon, releasing a statement saying he is, indeed, open to the idea of selling his majority stake.
“In recent months, there have been numerous expressions of interest in the purchase of the New York Islanders. As I have consistently stated, I have been and remain willing to listen. However, potential buyers expressions of interest in the team or even my listening to them does not mean that any deal will be reached,” Wang said.
Now, whether that happens now or in two years, it is going to happen. It’s an inevitability, and it has been for quite a while. It makes complete sense, from a number of different perspectives.
Before delving into this any further, I’d like to discuss something that’s been lost in translation and/or ignored over the years. Wang has made several mistakes; there’s absolutely no question about it. But, he’s also done a lot of things right, whether you choose to believe that or not.
If not for Wang stepping in and buying the team, the Islanders, not the Atlanta Thrashers, might be the Winnipeg Jets right now.
You might be quick to point out that he had additional motives, that he wanted development rights to the land surrounding Nassau Coliseum. I agree, but I’m not going to hold that against him.
Can you believe the nerve he had to ask for something else in return for paying to rebuild an arena he doesn’t own? What kind of businessman would want to have some insurance on a risky investment?
It’s also worth noting that, after the Lighthouse Project failed, Wang still tried to get a new rink built. So don’t tell me it was all about real estate. This man was trying to do you a service. He was trying to keep the Islanders from going to Winnipeg or Quebec City, and he successfully did that.
Brooklyn might not be Uniondale, but it’s still geographically on Long Island and isn’t anywhere near the provinces of Manitoba or Quebec.
When he first came aboard, he spent money and turned the Isles into a playoff-caliber hockey team. As the years went by, he continued to lose hundreds of millions of dollars and watched as Nassau County and the Town of Hempstead destroyed any other means of recouping his losses. That’s when he started budgeting.
Criticize him all you want; you’d have done the same thing if you were in his shoes, because that’s what a smart businessman does. If you make a bad investment, you don’t continue to pour money into that bad investment.
Now, Wang deserves criticism for other things, like the Rick DiPietro and Alexei Yashin contracts, as well as a host of other mistakes. However, to say that the fans view him in a negative light would be a tremendous understatement. They have vilified him, and I don’t think that’s fair, for the reasons I just mentioned.
Shifting the focus back to these “rumors” (and I use quotation marks because when McKenzie says something’s happening, something’s happening), there isn’t a doubt in my mind that Wang will sell the team at some point within the next few years.
I mentioned that a smart businessman doesn’t spend more money on an investment that’s gone sour. Similarly, Wang’s not going to hold onto a doomed financial venture forever, either. He’s 69 and eventually going to cut his losses however he can and sell. I think he knows that this gig isn’t for him anymore.
This is not going to be a simple transaction and it’s likely going to be a drawn-out process, unless there’s an unwritten part of the Barclays Center agreement that involves an ownership change.
Assuming that’s not the case, Wang is going to try and get as much as he can for the Islanders. Forbes currently has the franchise value listed at $195 million, 26th out of the 30 NHL teams. That might be an attractive price tag if you’re looking to buy, but if you’re a seller, especially one who’s lost a ton of money during your ownership tenure, you may not be overly-enthusiastic.
That’s probably the biggest reason why Wang still owns the team. He’s not going to sell just for the sake of selling until he’s completely desperate. And with a move to Brooklyn that’s sure to increase the franchise’s value on the horizon, perhaps you’d understand why he’s being a bit more patient here. Why would he sell the team for $195 million now when he can get upwards of $200 million in a year or two?
As far as potential suitors go, we don’t really know who might be on the other end. I can’t imagine anyone outside of the Barclays Center universe — whether it’s Bruce Ratner, Brett Yormark or Mikhail Prokhorov — stepping forward and voluntarily purchasing the Islanders.
Unless you’re someone who already has a vested interest in the franchise, I would think you’d be disinclined to take a flier on something like this at the present time.
Wang’s primary goal when he originally bought the team was to ensure that they’d remain the New York Islanders, as opposed to becoming the Quebec Nordiques or Kansas City Scouts.
To that extent, he has succeeded. But the time has come for him to move on and for a new owner to emerge. Contrary to popular belief, I think he fully understands that.
It’s difficult to project how this process is going to unfold and how long it’s going to take. That having been said, even if this is just the start, even if Wang is just putting out the feelers now, this is going to happen. He is going sell the Islanders in the near future.
It’s a logical conclusion to an often illogical era.

Per Angusta partners with Darkbeam to expand risk visibility for procurement by usiscc November 21, 2019 in Procurement 0 496 SHARES 1.4k VIEWS Share on FacebookShare on Twitter SaaS-based Procurement Performance Management (PPM) solution provider, Per Angusta, announced today it has partnered with Darkbeam, which specialises in the collection, processing and analysis of data to provide bespoke digital risk solutions. The partnership means procurement teams can better understand the cyber threats and vulnerabilities within their supply base and reduce the threat of digital risk. Per Angusta streamlines day-to-day strategic sourcing activities so that purchasing teams can increase agility and efficiency while managing and sharing their performance with Finance and other stakeholders. The solution provides transparency and collaboration to more than 8000 users in 83 countries. Darkbeam was founded by former military and intelligence professionals, and its bespoke digital risk solutions help clients around the world to understand the real-time cyber threats and the vulnerabilities of their organisations, giving them instant assessment of third-party digital risk levels. The partnership means procurement teams using Per Angusta’s PPM platform can now access Darkbeam’s digital risk scores in seconds which summarise the cyber threats and level of risk exposure of their most vulnerable suppliers. Said Justin Leary, Head of Intelligence at Darkbeam: “we are committed to helping procurement professionals understand their supply chain risks and protect their business, by adding Darkbeam’s digital risk scores into the Per Angusta platform, we’re giving buyers a valuable new source of insight they can use to make purchasing decisions with confidence.” And Pierre Laprée, CEO at Per Angusta said: “Procurement teams need better visibility into their suppliers’ security standards to identify the biggest threats in their supply chain. We are thrilled to incorporate Darkbeam’s market-leading digital risk scores as part of our intuitive platform built for buyers, by buyers.” The announcement has just broken, and we understand there will be a press release on the wires tomorrow – so do look out for more details. As supply chains become longer and more complex, they are becoming more and more vulnerable to cyberattacks. It is more frequently the case that cybercriminals attack global companies via their smaller suppliers (one example being the recent cyberattacks on Airbus suppliers which led to unauthorised access to sensitive technical documents). ISO standards are no longer enough for procurement professionals tasked with measuring suppliers’ security performance, says Per Angusta, because they cannot keep up with the accelerating pace of cybercrime trends. So we will look with interest at how this partnership develops and the benefits customers are finding from this added, and crucial, functionality for performance management solutions at a time when massive digitisation brings more need for corporate accountability, collaboration, and responsibility.

I went for a run today. It was pretty chilly out there, but I got challenged by Honey to run for at least an hour. She even followed me around on her horse for a while to make sure I’m not cheating. The cold seemed to numb me. It was a good feeling. After a while however I noticed I’m running towards Ben’s house. I felt somewhat foolish and just hoped he won’t choose this very moment to drive home. He would probably think I’m some sort of a stalker.
I wanted to turn around and run home, but suddenly I felt a sharp pain between my eyes and doubled over. Everything went black.
The next time I opened my eyes I was lying on something soft and looked into the concerned faces of two elderly people.
“Hello, dear. Welcome back! You gave us quite a fright”, the old lady chirped.
“I’m sorry…”, I seem to apologise a lot lately. “What happened?” I tried to get up, but the old guy gently pushed me back into some pillows. They smelled like lavender.
“You passed out, love. Right in front of our drive way. Probably exhausted yourself. Have you had anything to eat recently?”
I shook my head. I actually forgot to have breakfast. The old lady disappeared then soon after reappeared at my side again, presenting me with a glass of juice.
“Drink this, dear, you will feel much better”, she patted my shoulder. They made me lie down for another few minutes before allowing me to warm myself up at their fireplace. I ended up staying for most of the afternoon. They seemed to know a lot about me. I admitted I have no idea who they are.
“Well, I’m Esme”, the old lady shook my hand, “and this is my hubby, Tate Curley.”
We chatted for a while and then all of a sudden I caught myself crying in front of these lovely people, feeling sorry about myself. Tate took my hand, and while happily sipping on juice said to me, “Life is too short to worry about the little things, love. Me and the missus are together for 60 years. You think we never had an argument? Problems? ‘Course we did! But we talked about it. So I suggest your mouth – I hear you have quite a big one – and tell these gentlemen what’s bothering you, if it’s that important for you. We all make mistakes, and sometimes all it takes to realise them is having someone to point them out.” Esme grabbed my other hand and patted it lightly. “You should also try to forgive yourself”, she said. “Not everything is your fault. Things just go wrong sometimes…”
I think she’s right. They both are. I should put all bad things behind me and start everything over. I’m holding a grudge against Ben, although he never did anything to me. And Gavin? Well… I think I probably took him too seriously. I couldn’t commit myself to anyone after a few dates, how could I expect him to do just the same thing?
I sometimes wonder… Would I have caved if Tom showed up on my doorstep, begging for a second chance?

Draft is a series about the art and craft of writing.
This is the third in a series of writing lessons by the author.
A sentence can offer a moment of quiet, it can crackle with energy or it can just lie there, listless and uninteresting.
What makes the difference? The verb.
Verbs kick-start sentences: Without them, words would simply cluster together in suspended animation. We often call them action words, but verbs also can carry sentiments (love, fear, lust, disgust), hint at cognition (realize, know, recognize), bend ideas together (falsify, prove, hypothesize), assert possession (own, have) and conjure existence itself (is, are).
Jeff Rogers
Fundamentally, verbs fall into two classes: static (to be, to seem, to become) and dynamic (to whistle, to waffle, to wonder). (These two classes are sometimes called “passive” and “active,” and the former are also known as “linking” or “copulative” verbs.) Static verbs stand back, politely allowing nouns and adjectives to take center stage. Dynamic verbs thunder in from the wings, announcing an event, producing a spark, adding drama to an assembled group.
Static Verbs
Static verbs themselves fall into several subgroups, starting with what I call existential verbs: all the forms of to be, whether the present (am, are, is), the past (was, were) or the other more vexing tenses (is being, had been, might have been). In Shakespeare’s “Hamlet,” the Prince of Demark asks, “To be, or not to be?” when pondering life-and-death questions. An aging King Lear uses both is and am when he wonders about his very identity:
“Who is it that can tell me who I am?”
Jumping ahead a few hundred years, Henry Miller echoes Lear when, in his autobiographical novel “Tropic of Cancer,” he wanders in Dijon, France, reflecting upon his fate:
“Yet I am up and about, a walking ghost, a white man terrorized by the cold sanity of this slaughter-house geometry. Who am I? What am I doing here?”
Drawing inspiration from Miller, we might think of these verbs as ghostly verbs, almost invisible. They exist to call attention not to themselves, but to other words in the sentence.
Another subgroup is what I call wimp verbs (appear, seem, become). Most often, they allow a writer to hedge (on an observation, description or opinion) rather than commit to an idea: Lear appears confused. Miller seems lost.
Finally, there are the sensing verbs (feel, look, taste, smell and sound), which have dual identities: They are dynamic in some sentences and static in others. If Miller said I feel the wind through my coat, that’s dynamic. But if he said I feel blue, that’s static.
Static verbs establish a relationship of equals between the subject of a sentence and its complement. Think of those verbs as quiet equals signs, holding the subject and the predicate in delicate equilibrium. For example, I, in the subject, equals feel blue in the predicate.
Power Verbs
Dynamic verbs are the classic action words. They turn the subject of a sentence into a doer in some sort of drama. But there are dynamic verbs — and then there are dynamos. Verbs like has, does, goes, gets and puts are all dynamic, but they don’t let us envision the action. The dynamos, by contrast, give us an instant picture of a specific movement. Why have a character go when he could gambol, shamble, lumber, lurch, sway, swagger or sashay?
Picking pointed verbs also allows us to forgo adverbs. Many of these modifiers merely prop up a limp verb anyway. Strike speaks softly and insert whispers. Erase eats hungrily in favor of devours. And whatever you do, avoid adverbs that mindlessly repeat the sense of the verb, as in circle around, merge together or mentally recall.
This sentence from “Tinkers,” by Paul Harding, shows how taking time to find the right verb pays off:
“The forest had nearly wicked from me that tiny germ of heat allotted to each person….”
Wick is an evocative word that nicely gets across the essence of a more commonplace verb like sucked or drained.
Sportswriters and announcers must be masters of dynamic verbs, because they endlessly describe the same thing while trying to keep their readers and listeners riveted. We’re not just talking about a player who singles, doubles or homers. We’re talking about, as announcers described during the 2010 World Series, a batter who “spoils the pitch” (hits a foul ball), a first baseman who “digs it out of the dirt” (catches a bad throw) and a pitcher who “scatters three singles through six innings” (keeps the hits to a minimum).

Imagine the challenge of writers who cover races. How can you write about, say, all those horses hustling around a track in a way that makes a single one of them come alive? Here’s how Laura Hillenbrand, in “Seabiscuit,” described that horse’s winning sprint:
“Carrying 130 pounds, 22 more than Wedding Call and 16 more than Whichcee, Seabiscuit delivered a tremendous surge. He slashed into the hole, disappeared between his two larger opponents, then burst into the lead… Seabiscuit shook free and hurtled into the homestretch alone as the field fell away behind him.”
Even scenes that at first blush seem quiet can bristle with life. The best descriptive writers find a way to balance nouns and verbs, inertia and action, tranquillity and turbulence. Take Jo Ann Beard, who opens the short story “Cousins” with static verbs as quiet as a lake at dawn:
“Here is a scene. Two sisters are fishing together in a flat-bottomed boat on an olive green lake….”
When the world of the lake starts to awaken, the verbs signal not just the stirring of life but crisp tension:
“A duck stands up, shakes out its feathers and peers above the still grass at the edge of the water. The skin of the lake twitches suddenly and a fish springs loose into the air, drops back down with a flat splash. Ripples move across the surface like radio waves. The sun hoists itself up and gets busy, laying a sparkling rug across the water, burning the beads of dew off the reeds, baking the tops of our mothers’ heads.”
Want to practice finding dynamic verbs? Go to a horse race, a baseball game or even walk-a-thon. Find someone to watch intently. Describe what you see. Or, if you’re in a quiet mood, sit on a park bench, in a pew or in a boat on a lake, and then open your senses. Write what you see, hear and feel. Consider whether to let your verbs jump into the scene or stand by patiently.
Verbs can make or break your writing, so consider them carefully in every sentence you write. Do you want to sit your subject down and hold a mirror to it? Go ahead, use is. Do you want to plunge your subject into a little drama? Go dynamic. Whichever you select, give your readers language that makes them eager for the next sentence.
Next from me: Pitfalls of passive construction.

EAST LANSING -- Michigan State coach Tom Izzo can sense the frustration level that Michigan State fans have for Russell Byrd.
His team captain tried to come back from three foot surgeries, only to come face to face with physical limitations, confidence issues combined with inaccurate shooting, and criticism from fans.
But Izzo said he'd go out on a limb and say that he still believes in Byrd.
"I guess it doesn't bother me if anybody believes in him, but give him a chance because this will be the first true summer where he is going to be 99 percent healthy," Izzo said. "There's no question that kid can still help us because we need a shooter.
"He lives, eats and sleeps the game, and then I have to listen to him talking to me about Twitter and how people are just ripping him on this and that -- people who have no clue and no understanding. Am I disappointed in Russell Byrd? Two hundred percent. I'm disappointed because I had a guy who was a gym rat, who loves the game, who is a good kid and was dealt a bad set of cards."
Byrd was 1-for-9 from 3-point range during the Big Ten season, and the season-ending loss to Duke in the NCAA tournament made it nine games in which he did not play in his redshirt sophomore year.
The buzz about Byrd in the preseason coming off some impressive summer-league performances didn't translate to the regular season. The accurate shooting from practice didn't carry over to when it counted and forced him to lose his rotation spot.
But after the Duke game, the former top-100 recruit who averaged 1.6 points spoke up and gave Izzo the sense that he still had what it took to ultimately overcome adversity.
"He was on the bubble, if you ask me. He was on the bubble," Izzo said. "And when he sat there in the locker room and said something after, I said, 'He's not on the bubble any more. He's going to be driven to get it done.' Will he get it done? I don't know, but most people can't get up that many times, and he has."

The fiery chariot Spurs Jesus rides around the Silver and Black Promised Land, blessing it with championships and all-star athletes, is up for grabs.
The beloved Spurs super fan, who shows up to games dress in full Jesus regalia, posted an ad for the sale on his Twitter account.
RELATED: San Antonio celebrity Spurs Jesus brings suspected Southtown burglar to justice
Spurs Jesus is asking $7,000, or better offer, in exchange for his burnt orange 1973 Buick Electra 225, he said on Instagram.
“It’s the only one of its kind/color in San Antonio (maybe even most of Texas,)” he said in a message to mySA.com.
He spoke of its original owner, who bought the vehicle in 1973 and mostly only used it for church on Sundays. She knotted a chevron pattern blanket that still drapes the back seat, he added.
RELATED: 10 things Spurs Jesus is thankful for
Of course, Spurs Jesus has left his own holy marks on the classic: a miniature version of himself on the dashboard, Spurs license plates and floor mats, and a praying hands bumper sticker designed by local artist Robert Tatum.
The blessings continue throughout. Spurs Jesus told mySA.com a brand new, upgraded motor sits under the hood of the 43-year-old “deuce and a quarter.”

“It has Flowmaster exhausts, so it’s loud, but a good loud. It has a nice roar to it,” he said. “The interior is in incredible condition, it has whit wall tires and the car is burnt orange so it’s perfect for Longhorn fans as well.”
Spurs Jesus asks for all serious inquiries on the sale to be directed to [email protected].

A few years ago, Ikea announced it had designed a better refugee shelter, using its flatpack furniture as a basis for engineering. As great an idea as it was, it wasn't clear how the concept would ever find its way to reality. Now, these Ikea refugee shelters will be deployed—by the thousands.
The Ikea Foundation is the mega-corporation's wing devoted to social issues in the developing world. Working with UN, the Foundation spent years prototyping shelters that could replace the fragile tents that are used by the UN to house refugees right now—which are beholden to the cold (or hot), and provide little protection from storms, not to mention privacy. It was a worthy cause, but more was at stake than design—cost, logistics, politics, and the way aid organizations supply their workers on the ground make the issue of refugee housing incredibly complex.

Still, out of that collaboration came a modular home called Better Shelter and the Housing for All Foundation, a stand-alone organization that's further developing the design and manufacturing it for sale.
Advertisement
At the Dubai International Humanitarian Aid & Development Conference & Exhibition this week, the group announced its first order: The UN's High Commissioner for Refugees has placed an order for 10,000 units of Better Shelter, which it will use to house refugees around the world. The units were tested by displaced families in Iraq and Ethiopia, and according to Irin News, the first of the UN's 10,000 units will be sent to house some of the 2.5 million people in Iraq who have been displaced over the past year.
Better Shelter is a piece of extreme engineering. It's not so much a shelter as a precisely-designed package. It arrives in two cardboard boxes—not unlike your bookshelf or bed!—with all the tools needed to assemble it. Each box can be lifted by four people, and assembled by the same team in no more than eight hours. The group says that the package even contains an image-based user manual.
Advertisement
Inside, there are details that make these shelters actually livable for long periods of time: A door that actually locks. Windows and ventilation, unlike most cargo container shelters. A photovoltaic system to supply electricity. The frame itself fits together modularly, much like the company's own furniture. They're also built to last as long as three years, which is another major step forward—since refugee housing tends to wear out before the displaced have permanent housing.

From the word-free instruction drawings to the packaging, there are plenty of Ikea features that found their way into the design.
And why not? Regardless of how you feel about the company, Ikea has more experience with the logistics, engineering, and packaging of objects—objects that must be assembled by humans that speak many languages—than any other group in the world. It also knows something about design that's universally welcoming, no matter the country or culture it's dropped into.

Senator Rockefeller dismisses "cybersecurity" claims as "red herring"
At a hearing yesterday, the Senate Commerce Committee took up the issue of online tracking, the browser-based Do Not Track flag, and, in an unlikely turn of events, cybersecurity. The hearing included testimony from Ohio State University Law School’s Prof. Peter Swire, Mozilla’s Alex Fowler, the Association of National Advertisers’ Bob Liodice, and TechFreedom’s Berin Szoka. While there were a number of heated moments in the hearing, the most surprising was the advertising industry’s claim that respecting consumer choice will harm "cybersecurity." This new argument from the advertising industry only raises more concerns for the civil liberties implications of online tracking and was, as Rockefeller aptly noted, little more than a "red herring."
Quick Recap: What’s Do Not Track and What’s at Stake
Do Not Track is a signal that users can set in their browsers to tell websites they don’t want their online web browsing tracked by companies with whom they have no relationship. Momentum for Do Not Track has been building over several years, inspired in part by high-profile privacy scandals as well as a comprehensive expose series by the Wall Street Journal showing that the nation's 50 top websites on average installed 64 pieces of tracking technology onto the computers of visitors, usually with no warning. Do Not Track has been endorsed by the FTC and is the cornerstone of legislation proposed by Senator Rockefeller.
The Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA), an advertising industry consortium, has adopted principles for online data collection that fall far short of Do Not Track. According to Prof. Swire’s written testimony, the exceptions in the 2011 DAA principles "are so open-ended that I have not been able to discern any limits on collection under them." For example, he notes that the "market research" exemption includes "research about consumers," which "would seem to include keeping track of every click made by a consumer."
Senate hearing: industry argues tracking necessary for cybersecurity
The issue of cybersecurity arose when the advertising industry’s Bob Liodice struggled under questioning from Senator Rockefeller. Abandoning the meme that the advertising industry was adequately self-regulating to assuage the privacy concerns of users, Liodice switched tactics and began to argue that widespread data collection about our everyday Internet browsing habits was necessary for cybersecurity. When asked whether this included issues such as online sexual predators and identity theft, Liodice agreed.
Frankly, we’re puzzled by the purported connection between online behavioral tracking for advertising industry purposes and online sexual predators or ID theft. But Liodice’s argument raises a larger point. As a society, we’re currently grappling with the role we want our online service providers to play in policing our Internet activity. Whether it’s efforts to turn registrars into copyright police, asking ISPs to collect data on Internet users not accused of any crime, or letting companies share sensitive data with the government without a warrant, the digital age has raised a plethora of questions about the role of intermediaries working with the government. In yesterday’s Senate hearing, we heard the advertising industry admit that their near-ubiquitous online tracking program is being used for issues that are the purview of law enforcement. That raises a host of questions all on its own, but one thing is certain: with these statements we have even more reason to stand up for a surveillance-free Internet.
Senator Rockefeller was skeptical about the advertising industry’s claims that they needed to engage in pervasive online tracking for cybersecurity purposes. In response to Liodice’s pronouncement, he stated: “I just want to declare the whole cybersecurity matter a total red herring.” We certainly agree that strong cybersecurity does not necessitate surveillance of our online browsing habits by unaccountable third parties. And it’s also important to note that the DNT compromise proposal that EFF, Stanford, and Mozilla submitted to the W3C creates a special exception for security and click-fraud.
At the end of they day, strong cybersecurity is not antithetical to online privacy. In an open letter to Congress, prominent academics, experienced engineers, and cybersecurity professionals stated this unequivocally:
We take security very seriously, but we fervently believe that strong computer and network security does not require Internet users to sacrifice their privacy and civil liberties
If you’re worried about Congress’s attempts to undermine our online privacy through misguided cybersecurity programs, please send them an email through our action center asking them to safeguard our online privacy in the cybersecurity debates.

If you haven’t done so already, here’s a quick guide to turning on Do Not Track. | positive |
Now that marijuana has been officially legalized for adults both in Colorado and Washington State, I want everyone who plans to partake to understand that the whole world is watching.
What your states accomplished made headlines around the world. The policy experiment taking place in your two states will be closely monitored, both nationally and internationally. If legalization goes well in your states, that will serve as an example which other states and countries will follow in the near future. If this experiment goes poorly, it would not only hinder the broader reform movement, but also even risk reversing the gains made recently by increasing the chances of federal intervention, or even causing the state legislature to impose new restrictions.
All I’m asking is if you are an adult planning to smoke pot in Washington or Colorado for you to be conscientious, be safe and use common sense.
Be Conscientious – Even though most people don’t use marijuana, your neighbors and fellow citizens voted to allow you to without fear of prosecution. The best way to thank them is to be conscientious of the fact that most of your fellow citizens don’t smoke. Some people don’t like the smell, have health problems that can be irritated by any type of smoke, or don’t want their children to see marijuana being used. Just try to be respectful. Try to keep smoking private and away from people it might bother. Not only is it polite, but smoking in public is technically illegal.
Be safe – Don’t get high then drive or operate heavy machinery. It is not safe and it can result in a DUI arrest. Importantly, fears about a plague of “stoned drivers” is one of the most over-hyped arguments prohibitionists use to try to stop legalization efforts. If Colorado and Washington can prove that this concern is unfounded, it would be incredibly helpful for advancing the broader legalization movement.
Use common sense – Marijuana is still technically illegal under federal law. Before taking part, make sure you are not risking your job because federal rules about drug testing are still in place. While the federal government doesn’t have the resources to go after regular users, please don’t do something like bring an ounce into a secure federal courthouse. Remember also that in neighboring states marijuana possession is still considered a serious offense.
I’m convinced that legalizing marijuana is the best policy option for our society, but you have a chance to help prove it. The world is watching so show everyone that your fellow citizens made the right decision. Have fun but also be safe, smart and conscientious. | positive |

Police in southwest London have uncovered a marijuana grove the size of a football pitch, surrounded by lush natural greenery.
Kingston upon Thames police announced the discovery on Twitter with pictures accompanied by the exclamation "We found a forest!" and the hashtags #CannabisTrees #TheseArentXmasTrees and #WeedKiller.
The crop of plants measured about 1.5 meters, or 5 feet, tall.
Kingston Police called to a few cannabis plants. We found a forest!— Kingston Police (@MPSKingston)September 25, 2015

If Shiller’s Chart Is Right US Housing Market Has 50% to Fall: BubbleOmics Disagrees
There has been a kind of pause in house price angst in USA over the past year, the “good news” is that “only” one million homes were physically repossessed in 2010 which is about the same as 2009. The bad news is that outside of the temporary respite achieved by “Foreclosure-Gate”, the trend is still up.
http://money.cnn.com/2011/01/13/real_estate/foreclosures_2010/index.htm
But foreclosures are still a reality and since the “crunch” started in 2007, a total of three million American families have been kicked out of their homes; that’s a tragedy in itself. Imagine what people would be saying if a terrorist attack had put three million American families on the street?
When will it end, and where?
One of the best-known graphics of the Credit Crunch is Professor Shiller’s chart of “Real Home Prices” which he gets from his house price index (and preceding indexes), adjusted for inflation (using CPI).
Some people say the “Real-Index” is 15% to 20% above the “Long-Term-Average”, and therefore home prices need to drop by that amount before “market clearing” starts to happen, and “things get back to normal”.
http://online.wsj.com/...
I’m sorry to be a little slow here, but surely even a Nobel Prizewinning economist ought to be able to figure out there is something illogical about that notion?
Because if prices only go down to the long-term average, then the long-term-average won’t be the long-term average anymore; for that to stay as the “long-term average”, prices need to go down a lot more, like to about half where they are now; unless of course Ben can get inflation up dramatically, but sadly he does appear to be having a real problem getting it up.
That concept is sometimes acknowledged as the idea that “markets over-shoot”, which is what Bob Farrell was talking about in his 2nd Law.
I’d like to remark at this juncture that Professor Shiller is not saying that house prices in USA are set to drop 50% from where they are now; in fact he is keeping remarkably quiet these days, which could be an Omen in itself.
In any case Shiller has never puts himself out as either a “sage” or a forecaster”, all he did to get his “Real Index” was divide one set of good data by another set of public data, and say “Oops…look at that”! Which was correct, if people had taken Shiller seriously in 2003 none of this would have happened.
So what’s wrong with Shiller’s Chart?
To understand that, you have to understand the question is nothing to do with economics. Which is fortunate because personally I know nothing about economics and I freely admit that until quite recently I thought that Keynes was somehow related to Milton, as in the pretty little town in England called “Milton Keynes”.
To understand what’s happening you have to understand “valuation”, which something that “professional” economists are not the least-bit interested in.
I was educated on that point after I submitted a paper to the esteemed “Journal of Economics & Business”, on the subject of “The Value of Housing in USA”. I got a very nice and polite note back, almost by return, saying that since my paper was about “valuation” and not “economics”, they had decided not to “detain” me by getting it “peer reviewed”, prior to rejecting it.
Notwithstanding that education about what economics isn’t (I’m still a little hazy about what it is), it did occur to me that the general direction of the economy in the USA may perhaps be predicated to a depressingly large degree, on precisely at what juncture house prices stop going down and start to go up again.
If only because that will determine what is the value of all the toxic assets held by banks and financial institutions (and increasingly by the Federal Reserve), and thus determine whether they are solvent or not. As in assets being worth more than liabilities, which is also about “valuation” and thus is not something economists need to worry their pretty little heads about.
The first thing to know about valuation; is that there are two types of value.
1: What you can reasonably expect to sell something for, to someone dumber than you (that’s called “mark-to-market” or “Fair-Value” (as in “fair-play”) by some people).
2: What you can reasonably expect to sell something for, to someone smarter than you (that’s sometimes called “the fundamental”).
What we are talking about here is the second type of valuation, the price at which people, who are smarter than the banks that wrote all those crazy mortgages, are prepared to pay.
To understand where that price is, you need to figure out what is the “fundamental”. That’s because, in history, prices tend to oscillate around the fundamental; in fact by definition, the “fundamental” is the value that prices oscillate around.
So if you have some sort of idea what it is, you can sometimes work out where prices are likely to go in the future, which can sometimes be useful, from time to time.
For example, say you had been a banker writing mortgages in 2006 in USA, and you had known that the price of housing in USA was on average 50% above the “fundamental”, and you were deciding how much money to advance against the collateral of a house.
Then before you wrote a 120% LTV loan to a crack-head with no job, and no chance of getting one (even dealing crack), the thought might have occurred to you that there was a chance that if ever, horror, it became necessary to collect the collateral and to sell it so as to get your money back, and the supply of “dumber than thou” people had dried up, you might find that the amount of money you could get back at the end of the deal, was (a lot) less than the amount of money you had lent.
That of course is a detail Nobel Prizewinning economists are not at all interested in, since they have much grander aspirations than that. They say, “Well who cares? If the bankers lose all their money, we can just print some more for them to gamble with”.
So what’s the “Fundamental” price of housing in USA?
How about this for a “valuation hypothesis”, how about if “fundamental” utility of a house to someone who owns it, is a as a place to live, that is as opposed, for example, to being a gambling chip that you can pawn so as you can “play the markets”.
If that’s right, it follows you can work out the “fundamental” using a modified income capitalization valuation based on the logic that (a) the fundamental utility value (as a proxy for cash-flow) of an owner-occupied house is a constant proportion of nominal GDP, thus per house it’s a constant proportion of nominal GDP divided by the number of houses (b) that the applicable yield (to get to price from cash flow) is an “S” Curve function of the MA of the 30-Year Treasury.
You might disagree with the logic there, and say, “Oh but I don’t see Father Christmas in that algorithm”. What you can’t argue with is that if you plot that valuation model against actual for the past 100 years you get a 98.8% R-Squared.
What that means in plain English is that “valuation model” explains 98.8% of changes in house prices in USA (according to Shiller’s data) over one hundred years.
The next best model I heard of is Shiller’s; that explain 54.2% of the changes. In case you are a Nobel Prizewinning economist, I would like to explain 98.8% is a LOT better than 54.2% as validation of a valuation model.
The long-explanation of the logic for that is at:
http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article6250.html
This is my analysis recently up-dated compared to Shiller, with the “Y” axis an estimate of the percentage degree of over and under-pricing (so 100% on the “Y” axis means prices are double the “fundamental” and -50% means they are half).
So what’s different?
Shiller’s model is based on the idea that house prices should track CPI, which is logical, except:
(A): Twenty-five percent or so of CPI is the cost of “shelter” so that’s not an independent variable for figuring house prices.
(B): Starting 1987 the US Government began to mess around with how CPI was calculated; the biggest “adjustment” was “owner’s equivalent of rent”, which “assumes” (a) the world is flat (b) the utility cost of 90% of the housing market (by value) can be worked out from the other 10%. If you can’t understand how stupid that is, I recommend you instantly apply for a job with some US government department, as an economist. Most (sane) people agree that from that point CPI in USA was under-reported.
That would explain why Shiller’s “Real-House-Price-Index” is off the mark in the 2006 bubble.
Also, an interesting point, if the mispricing now is as calculated here (about 5% under), that suggests that now the cumulative misrepresentation of CPI since 1987 is a factor of 1.26 meaning that on average CPI was under-reported by about 2.36% a year since 1992 which is when the lines started to diverge.
I’m not sure that’s something of interest to Nobel-prizewinning economists? Probably not, the consensus appear to believe that measurement of inflation in USA is something that magically occurs under the Divine Supervision of 2,000 PhD economists deep in the vaults of the Bureau of Labour, and that their pronouncements could not possibly be wrong.
Next?
The BubbleOmics line in that chart is an update with minor “tweaking” of an analysis which was initially done in March 2008, and which I confess I have not revisited except to make “back-of-the-envelope” estimates.
This updated analysis was a bit of a surprise. Previously I’d thought the “bust” had about bottomed, now I’m pretty sure that the bust has not been fully expressed, held back by frantic efforts of the US administration to save the moronic bankers from the folly of their collective lunacy from 2002 to 2007; extending and pretending and pretending and extending.
As if putting your head in the sand works long-term! But if you have the power to blow up dots walking across the landscape on the other side of the world that you suspect are evil-doers plotting the destruction of America, surely you have the power to manipulate markets in your back-yard? As Churchill said, “power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely”.
The problem is that governments are fleas on the back of the elephant of markets, sometimes they can influence events, but like King Canute found out, eventually, the tide comes in.
This is what BubbleOmics says will happen; basically at some point something has to give, and prices need to get down to where market clearing of all the mal-investments of 2003 or so to 2006, get washed out of the system. The alternative is for the government to keep trying to bail-out the incoming tide, and even in America, there is a limit to how much the government can borrow or the Fed can print, to bail out the morons on Wall Street.
Let’s say with “foreclosure-gate” and more efforts by the US Administration to delay the day of reckoning, keeps the “uncomfortable insanity” of the marketplace at bay until 2013, and let’s say that the 30-year stays more or less at what it is now, and nominal GDP growth is 5% (inflation is always an option).
Then if the “BubbleOmics” valuation model is right, house prices will bottom 15% below where they are now, sometime in 2013.
The good news, I suppose, is that’s not 50% below where they are now, which is what the logical conclusion of Professor Shiller’s analysis says.

15 Jan 11, 04:35 Good work but
Good analysis to a point and I do get the correlation and agree that GDP and housing are locked. Where we come apart is if you look back in history you wil see a period of 30 years plus where housing did nothing. In effect what happened there is the post WW2 housing boom was bled away over many years and affordability became very cheap (undershoot). I suspect we should prepare for that to be the way undershoot may occur here. The alternative would be nastier which is if the FED loses the battle with interest rates then capital values of houses could correct much more steeply which would lead to even larger losses in bans and in that case one imagines another recession would take place. Clearly we don't know which of these scenarios will occur ,but the FED has not lost any battles so far so my money is on option 1 ,the long term bleedoff a la Japan.

17 Jan 11, 01:13 Correlation doesn't imply understanding
Author has mathematical assumption errors. Correlation can not predict the long-tail distribution, because for one reason correlation does not imply understanding. His parameters and assertion that housing prices have only another -15% to decline, assume (among other expectations) that interest rates don't rise at pace (or exceed) with nominal GDP growth. But to get gold and silver to not spiral off to forever compounded increases in fiat price, then real interest rates have to become positive. But we know the actuarial fiscal reality is real interest rates can't go positive without causing sovereign default for many western nations, including the USA. Thus GDP has to contract massively at some point. This can be viewed another way, which is that western jobs are being outsourced to developing countries (6 for the cost of 1), thus the westerner will have no choice but to eventually reduce his/her relative resource usage, so this means multiple people moving in together (retirees moving back in with kids, kids moving back in with parents). Also the author's has a mathematically erroneous assertion that the future housing prices must fall below the long-term mean in Schiller's chart in order to keep the long-term mean from falling. The current price is nearly at the mean in Schiller's chart. The author is correct that CPI has been understated compounded since early 1990s (this can be proven numerous ways), but thus Schiller's chart does not correct show how current price is already _BELOW_ the long-term mean. Thus neither Schiller's chart nor this author's method is particularly predicted of the long-tail event that lies ahead. That is why only gold and silver are the Ultimate Market Regulators: http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article20263.html It is hard to say which way housing prices will go, because it depends on how much inflation the central banks give us, but one thing we can say for sure, is that until real interest rates return to positive (which means a new world currency system), then gold and silver will outperform housing.

Each year, we like to run a series of posts called "90-in-90." The idea is that we'll take a look at every player on the roster, from the very bottom to the top and break them down a few ways. This roster will certainly change, and some days we'll have more than one so it's not exactly 90 players in 90 days. At this point, it's a name we're keeping around for street cred.
The San Francisco 49ers drafted defensive back Jimmie Ward with the intention of getting him work as the team's nickel back in 2014. The 49ers released Carlos Rogers, opening a hole at the nickel. The hope is for Chris Culliver to handle the full-time cornerback duties opposite Tramaine Brock, and then have Ward secure the nickel duties.
While Ward will get plenty of opportunities to do so in training camp, one person who figures to give him a fight for the role is Perrish Cox. The 49ers initially signed Cox to a 2-year deal in 2012. Cox operated as the 49ers dime back in 2012. He came back in a similar role in 2013, but then was released in November when Nick Moody was activated off the NFI list. Eric Wright had been signed that offseason, and it seemed like he was going to take over Cox's role.
In December, Carlos Rogers suffered a hamstring injury in Week 17. The 49ers re-signed Cox the day after the injury, and he ended up getting substantial playing time. Eric Wright seemed to have the edge for nickel work, but according to Wright, he suffered an injury before the Packers game, and then dealt with the flu for two days the following week. Cox took advantage of the opportunity and got some decent playing time both weeks. He reverted to just special teams duty in the NFC Championship Game as Carlos Rogers was back out on the field.
Why he might improve:
We kind of know what Cox brings to the table at this point. He is a solid reserve who brings a lot on special teams. From a pure playing time perspective, he's got a jump for nickel work for now. Jimmie Ward is getting over a foot injury, and while he is expected to be back in time for training camp, he will be a step behind Cox and company for now. I think Ward can surpass him in training camp, but until we see Ward get out their for full workouts, it's hard to know for sure.
One other area in which Cox can "improve" his playing time would be if he can handle punt return duties. Cox has a decent amount of punt return experience. If the 49ers think he can still contribute on defense, returning punts would boost his case considerably. Bruce Ellington is getting some opportunities, but his college experience focused on kick returns. Maybe the 49ers look for him to handle kicks, and Cox to handle punts.
Why he might regress:
As I said, we kind of know what Cox brings to the table as a cornerback. He's handling first team slot corner duties in OTAs, but that is in part because Ward is still trying to get his foot healthy. Cox might open camp as the slot corner, but the odds are pretty good that he could be surpassed on the depth chart at some point. Beyond just Ward, Darryl Morris is getting work as the No. 2 slot corner. If the 49ers like what they see from Morris this year, it's entirely possible Cox gets the axe. There would be some concern about the lack of veteran experience at the slot corner position, but if the 49ers are comfortable, the option is there.
Odds of making the roster:
I think this could very well be a toss-up right now. I've been thinking Cox and Wright are potentially competing for a single roster spot, at most. Some veteran cornerback experience would be helpful, but there is some young talent that could emerge past both of them. It will come down to what Jimmie Ward and Darryl Morris show in training camp. If the team is comfortable with the two of them, both Wright and Cox could find themselves getting released. | positive |
In anticipation of the new season on iCCup we are happy to present you with a small list of additional features to try. These new innovative features should help to improve your iCCup experience.
The first innovation is the rank limit command / rl. Now you do not have to spend a long time searching for a player at your skill level, or kicking time-wasters who are far above or below your own skill level. All you need to do is specify the rank of the player or the ladder point limit of the players that you wish to join your game.
Here's an example:
/ rl 6000 7000 (Only those players who from 6000 to 7000 points may join).
/ rl 10000 (Only a player who has more 10000 points may join)
/ rl c-c + (yOnly those who are ranked between C- to C+ may join)
Are you tired of players are not using antihack? Now this problem is easily solved. By utilising yet another new command / nah (no antihack) players not using iCCup's AntiHack feature will not be able to join your game. Additionally, the country that a player is playing from will be displayed when you join a game with a tag ([KR] for Korean, [AU] for Australian, etc.).
The next new feature is specifically helpful for those active in a clan. The list of new commands available is found below:
/ clan help (/ ch; Help)
/ clan list (/ cl; Shows a list of everyone who is in the clan)
/ clan msg (/ cm, / cw; Send a message to all clanmates)
/ clan online (/ co; Show all clan mates who are online)
/ clan off (/ c off; Disable all clan notifications)
/ clan on (/ c on; Include all clan related alerts)
/ clan state (/ c state; Shows the current status regarding clan alerts, i.e. ON or OFF)
Also worth noting is that now all the clans have at their disposal clan channels, to which the player will be automatically directed when you log on to the server.
Finally, and perhaps the most interesting new innovation — a new rank. A distinguishing letter has not been assigned as of yet, but the beginner rank will be identified by this icon . This rank is positioned even lower than the D- to help those who have only just recently met with StarCraft and their level of play is significantly lower than the average D- player. Accordingly, in order to be demoted to D- you must fall to 900 ladder points, instead of the previous 850 points. Also, players in the lowest rank will lose 20 ladder points for a loss.
We hope you enjoy the latest additions to iCCup and good luck achieving your goals in Season 11!
Be sure to check out the Maps of the Week for the first week of the season.

The so-called Surfing Trooper is not only rocking his Stormtrooper outfit, he is also chilling and surfing at the nicest beaches of the world. That’s how it goes when you work for the Empire; you will eventually need a long and nice vacation from all the stress that Darth Vader puts on you. While relaxing the best way that he can with his surfboard, he might as well post photos from it on tumblr.
That’s the only way we can keep a track on him before he disappears back to the Empire. All in all this is a great way to recharge his batteries and at the same time takes us on a journey of his fun experiences. It doesn’t end there; sometimes the whole Star Wars team likes to take some time off and visit New York on a snowy winter day.

Scientists aren't content to let nature rest on its laurels when it comes to the strawberry.
Cornell University horticulturists have announced that they've bred a new type of strawberry called the Purple Wonder designed to stun with both its taste and its color — a deep burgundy.
"Purple Wonder is sweet and aromatic, with outstanding strawberry flavor," Courtney Weber, a small fruits breeder and associate professor of horticulture at Cornell, said in a statement. "But the color is something you won't be able to find in any grocery store."
"The color develops all the way through the fruit, which might surprise consumers accustomed to supermarket fruit with color mostly on the surface," Weber said. "And letting the fruit ripen on the plant just makes the berries sweeter."
The medium-sized berries start off creamy-white and then turn red before deepening into their dark purple hue.
The new fruit will be unveiled at the Philadelphia International Flower Show on March 5. Cornell has an exclusive licensing agreement with seed company W. Atlee Burpee Co. to sell Purple Wonder seeds.
The company plans to market the fruit to home gardeners who keep a plot in their backyard or some pots on their fire escape. Purple Wonder's lack of many runners (horizontal shoots that produce new plant sprouts) makes it ideal for container growing, its makers say. Plus, its high antioxidant content makes it a health booster.
The fruit is bred to be hardy enough to fare well across most of the temperate United States, resist disease and insects, and most of all, to taste great, Weber said.
"Let's face it: Berries often get eaten on the way home from the farmers' market," he said.

Vladimir Putin says his life is a bottomless bowl of cherries – and that things are always great because he’s “not a woman.”
“I am not a woman, so I don’t have bad days,” the Russian strongman said in a cream puff interview at the Kremlin with conspiracy theorist and filmmaker Oliver Stone.
“I am not trying to insult anyone. That’s just the nature of things. There are certain natural cycles.”
The “JFK” and “Wall Street” director had access to Putin for over two years to create a Showtime series that will air starting June 12, Bloomberg reported.
In addition to reveling in his manly manliness, Putin said Edward Snowden was wrong to release US secrets, that he lifts weights and swims every day, and that a 2013 Russian law barring distribution of “gay propaganda” to minors does not mean gays are discriminated against in Russia.
“There are no restrictions whatsoever,” he said.
But asked if he’d take a shower in a submarine next to a gay man, the Russian leader laughed before replying.
“Well, I prefer not to go to the shower with him. Why provoke him? But you know, I’m a judo master,” he said. | positive |

Now I must address the real biblical values and see how these values fit into the soul of the StupidParty. Now it’s time for my Four Horseman to take on the sadly abused and misunderstood four horses of the apocalypse:
And I saw, and behold a white horse. And he that sat on him had calculated that he would forever be a ruler and would set forth and conquer Myth with the use of Math. And there went out another horse, that was red. And power was given to him that sat thereon to take Science to mankind, and that he must prevent raging winds, hell’s furnace, and plagues by allowing research to inoculate against witchcraft. And I beheld, and lo a black horse. And he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. On one side sat facts and on the other untruths, and never again would the two be held equivalent. And I looked, and behold a pale horse. And his name that sat on him was Knowledge, and Ignorance followed behind. And as the power of Math, Science, and Facts was given to Knowledge, so he trampled over Ignorance, and deep into the earth this conquered beast did disperse.
For StupidParty have sinned, keep sinning, and their sins grow exponentially by the day. The day of Judgement is upon us:
Lust:
Gluttony
3.Greed
Sloth
Wrath
6. Envy
Pride
Why do we only hear from the faux Christians?
Does it not strike you as odd that the type of people we see lecturing us about Christianity are the very last people who should be lecturing us about Christianity: Pat Robertson, Rick Santorum, Mike Huckabee, Alan Keyes, Billy Graham’s son, Glen Beck (Mormon), the StupidParty-loving evangelicals, various misogynist old white fart Roman Catholic bishops.
Where are the Catholic nuns, where is Nelson Mandela, Gandhi, Desmond Tutu? How about the archbishop of Canterbury, head of the Episcopalian Church? Why do we never hear from the good guys, the good Christians, Christians who can actually identify with Jesus Christ, speak his words, and live his actions?
It is all down to money. Money wants you to listen to the first category, to the bigot Christians—because these “Christians” help drive the agenda of the Benefactors. War, Arms and Guns, Guns, Guns. Asset Stripping the Citizens, Asset Stripping natural resources, enriching those that control the political process, that control “democracy.” Christianity in America has become nothing but an embarrassment, because Christians that actually give a damn have virtually no voice in the public domain.
The End of Times
Religion in the wrong hands can be really dangerous. Religion in the hands of StupidParty becomes stupidly dangerous. Progressives tend to feel that it is tough to get into the hearts and minds of people—but when it comes to certain StupidParty leaders, I am not so convinced, because really if you had to wade through their deepest thoughts, you would barely get your ankles wet.
In addition to this, they leave just too many clues, and these clues leave us with no choice but to connect the dots. Take House Intelligence Committee member Michele Bachman, who simply cannot contain her outbursts of verbal diarrhea. But these people have power, and thus it is no laughing matter. Many scientists and mathematicians agree that humanity will be quite lucky to survive the next hundred years. We have the technology to blow ourselves up. We are also indulging in behaviors that increase our exposure to global pandemics. But our biggest threat is our own stupidity, and ironically StupidParty religious thinking could become a self-fulfilling prophecy. So let’s roll the tape—Michele Bachman:
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) claims the end of days is near, and as proof the former Republican presidential candidate cited President Barack Obama’s decision to support Syrian rebels, which she calls al-Qaeda terrorists, with anti-chemical weapons gear and limited arms.
“This happened and as of today the United States is willingly, knowingly, intentionally sending arms to terrorists, now what this says to me, I’m a believer in Jesus Christ, as I look at the End Times scripture, this says to me that the leaf is on the fig tree and we are to understand the signs of the times, which is your ministry, we are to understand where we are in God’s end times history,” Bachmann told Jan Markell, radio host of “Understanding the Times,” on Saturday.
“Rather than seeing this as a negative, we need to rejoice, Maranatha Come Lord Jesus, His day is at hand,” Bachmann added later. “And so when we see up is down and right is called wrong, when this is happening, we were told this; that these days would be as the days of Noah. We are seeing that in our time. Yes it gives us fear in some respects because we want the retirement that our parents enjoyed. Well they will, if they know Jesus Christ.”
Yes, we are at risk; we are threatened by Religious fundamentalists gaining the levers of powers, voting at elections, threatening the planet by myopic Asset Stripping; uncontrolled populations living unsustainable lives and deciding foreign policy based on myth. As George Bush Jr. would say, when asked if he should seek the advice of his dad before invading Iraq, I do not need to, “There is a higher father that I appeal to.” If you vote StupidParty, you own this.
Perhaps we need to demand more from Fundamentalists:
At the very least, it is not just the end of times that should concern them. Let Deuteronomy separate the fundamentalist wheat from the chaff.
Deuteronomy (23:1–2). God declared that any man with damaged or missing genitals, as well as any man who doesn’t know the names of his ancestors going back ten generations, cannot enter into religious congregations.
Farming Tips.
Deuteronomy (22:10). God also doesn’t want you to plow a field with an ox and a donkey on the same yoke
Help in the Kitchen.
Deuteronomy (14:21). If you’re planning to boil a young goat in milk, please note that
God doesn’t want anyone to boil a young goat in its mother’s milk
Fashion Tips.
(Leviticus 19:19). We are told to wear a piece of clothing made of more than one fabric.
(Exodus 28:31–35). God will kill Aaron if he goes to minister without wearing a golden bell and blue pomegranates.
Genesis says no to those Carnivorous Dinosaurs of 5000 BC.
(Genesis 1:30). In the beginning, when God allegedly created the animals, they were designed to consume plants rather than meat.
Beware while hiking the Appalachian Trail.
(Isaiah 14:29). The prophet Isaiah informs us that a cockatrice, a mythical creature able to kill its victim with a casual glance, will arise from a serpent.
Dr. Doolittle.
(Numbers 22:27–30). Man has full-blown conversation with his talking donkey—as they debate why he keeps flogging the donkey.
Better get circumcised.
(Exodus 4:24–26). God has intentions to murder Moses’ son because he wasn’t circumcised,
The Cure for Leprosy.
(Leviticus 14). God says that we can cure leprosy by killing a bird, putting the bird’s blood on another bird, killing a lamb, wiping the lamb blood on the leper, and killing two doves.
Just consider the following—80% of US evangelicals voted for Mitt Romney, an asset stripping, serial lying misogynist Mormon, the same number will likely vote for Donald Trump a Serial lying, asset stripping, misogynistic narcissistic racist, a nationalistic fascist. These fake Christians, these enablers of hate, these idiotic ignorant killers of people’s around the world (see below) vote for, worship, people like Trump or Cruz or nice old Romney, who are the polar opposite of Jesus Christ -they support the anti-Christ, and thus by their own belief system they have simply bought their very own one way ticket to hell. Their only salvation might be a reintroduction to the real Jesus Christ. | positive |
Malts and Leprechauns – WITHIN THE K STREETS WITHIN THE K STREETS Max's Stories The Dog From Rancho Cucaracha Max in Hawaii About By maxwellthedog on March 17, 2021 • ( 51 Comments ) Malts and Leprechauns “Is this going to be another long-winded story? Let’s talk Leprechauns! In Irish folklore, the Leprechaun is said to be a solitary creature, a three-foot-tall grizzled figure who wears a fanciful green coat and top hat and whose principal occupation is cobbling shoes. Leprechauns can live for hundreds of years, are said to enjoy making mischief and are rumored to have a hidden pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. They smell of Irish Spring deodorant. Just kidding on that last one. Leprechauns live burrowed deep in underground caves with entrances disguised as rabbit holes or hollow tree trunks. They diligently avoid humans who seek to capture them so as to be granted 3 wishes in barter for the Leprechaun’s freedom. Available on Amazon. Send one to your Irish relatives. They love this stuff. That whole thing about pinching people who don’t wear green on St. Patrick’s Day? That’s because tradition says wearing green makes you invisible to Leprechauns, who like to pinch anyone they can see. Similar behavior can be seen in New York Governors. Actually, the notion that Leprechauns dress in green is fairly recent. Prior to the 20th century, it was generally held that Leprechauns wore red, not green. Even Yeats said so and who are we to question good old W.B.? Leprechaun tales make for entertaining and imaginative reading – but could they all be based in more fact than fiction? About 30 years ago, a “Leprechaun suit” was discovered on Carlingford mountain in County Louth, Ireland alongside some small bones and a collection of four gold coins. Sceptics saw it as part of an elaborate hoax, concocted by bored jokers after one too many pints of Guinness. But a handful believers, known in Gaelic as “The Gullible” (j/k) saw it as confirmation that there might just be an element of truth supporting centuries of folklore. The Head Gullible was Kevin Woods, supposedly Ireland’s last “Leprechaun Whisperer.” If you want to read all the deets about the Last of The Real Leprechauns, check out this story in the Irish Post! Were they real? Click on the link above. (Note: Leprechaun clickbait.) There are no female Leprechauns which is probably why the males live so long. On the other hand, Leprechauns are described as grouchy, untrusting, and peevish creatures which may be due to the absence of female company. You be the judge. The pugnacious Leprechaun of Notre Dame University. The four most famous Leprechauns in the world are found in the USA. You can probably name them all: the Lucky Charms breakfast cereal spokesman, the official mascot of the Fighting Irish sports teams at the University of Notre Dame, the vengeful star of the eponymous horror film, and the symbol of the Boston Celtics professional basketball team. “Lucky” is the Leprechaun on the box of Lucky Charms cereal. First introduced to supermarket shelves in the mid-1960s, sugar-packed Lucky Charms boasted something that no other cereal at the time could offer: tiny marshmallow bits shaped like moons, hearts, stars and four-leafed clovers. “Magically delicious!” He’s the Diabeetus Leprechaun! For a half century, the General Mills cereal ads have used the same old shtick. Lucky uses his magical powers to evade annoyingly aggressive children trying to steal his Lucky Charms. What you may not know is that each of those little marshmallow tidbits, (they are technically called “marbits”) has a name and provides Lucky with a special ability. Even odder is that the singing group Pentatonix created a special song “Evolution of Lucky Charms”, in which the five-member vocal group extols the virtues of the multicolored marshmallow marbits, including “hourglasses, rainbows, and tasty red balloons” while taking a musical journey through all the various Lucky Charms jingles from over the years. Here, you can have a listen to this great waste of significant a capella talent: Lucky Charms has even attained a bit of status as a “woke” brand after General Mills allowed as how the rainbow depicted on the packages was in support of gay pride. “If you’re lucky enough to be different, we’re celebrating you,” said the Company. They could have said, “If you seek affirmation of your value as a human being from a cartoon character based on a evil mythical figure who spends his time hiding cereal, we’re sincerely worried about you.” I guess that wouldn’t roll off the tongue so easily, eh? By the way, if you want more information about the history and lore of Lucky Charms, check out this website: The Untold Truth Of Lucky Charms. Be warned, like Leprechauns, the story is interesting and goes on forever. Some people have way too much free time on their hands. Doesn’t look like a pro athlete but…magical powers. Quite the opposite of the Lucky Charms image, in Irish folklore there is nothing fortunate about encountering a Leprechaun. Throughout Irish lore they are devious, nasty and will take your luck away forever. The reality is that far from being good luck, they are exceptionally BAD luck! Speaking of grim Leprechauns, my fave is the headliner in the 1993 American horror slasher-film “Leprechaun” which, despite being cheesier than a fondue factory in Gruyères, managed to draw enough box office to justify a few sequels, the last one being (and I’m not making this up) “Leprechaun 4: In Space”. Her luck just ran out when she was cast in this dumpster of a movie. The most remarkable part of this very bad movie is that it marked Jennifer Anniston’s film debut! It has also been called Anniston’s worst movie, ever. Brad’s looking a little rough these days. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette critic Ron Weiskind called the film “incompetent,” thoroughly trashing the film’s acting, lack of suspense, and production values. He concluded, “Forget about the proverbial pot of gold. The movie Leprechaun is a crock.” It is said that to this day, Jen is more embarrassed by this film than by all the Brad Pitt jokes ever told. She recommended he use “Aveeno” for dewy, soft skin! Max, being a Maltese, knows nothing about these matters. But he may have a little Leprechaun in him. He’s been known to be a tad grouchy, untrusting, and peevish from time to time. I wonder if he likes marshmallow, erm, marbits? “I’m so embarrassed to be connected with this.” Finally, here’s a tip for your next visit to Ireland. Find a crowded pub out where the sheep roam or on the side streets in one of the industrial towns. March in wearing an Hawaiian shirt, shorts and flip flops and push your way to the bar. When you spot the barman, call loudly and ask that he whip up your favorite drink, an Irish Car Bomb and make it snappy. As he drops the shot of Irish Cream and whisky into your glass of stout, let everyone in the pub know you are an American whose grandfather was half-Irish and you are there to research the cultural phenomena of your ancestors before they were fortunate enough to arrive in the States, with special emphasis on Leprechauns, shillelaghs, “St. Paddy,” and why the Irish drink so much. Trust me; it will be a vacation you’ll not soon forget. Meantime, Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Share this: Share Print Email LinkedIn Twitter Facebook Tumblr Reddit Pinterest Like this: Like Loading...

My Supply Room: 2017 My Supply Room I run my own Pen Store and I am my only Customer. Tuesday, December 19, 2017 Kickstarter Notebook Modular I have been waiting for this notebook all year. The Notebook Modular by allocacoc. This notebook was well presented and arrived in good shape. I ordered the synthetic suede leather. Here it is. All the sheets are standard 8"x11" and come in calendars, weekly calendars blank paper and lined paper. All of these can be copied. The key to this is all the flaps to include the one on the right that closes the notebook have magnets. You can put about 50 sheets on each side and they do stay in place. There is a pen slot on the right and the notebook does come with a pen. There are two places to keep business cards. The website is www.allocacoc.com. Best notebook to come along in some time. Add one to your collection. Posted by My Supply Room at 7:09 AM No comments: Labels: Kickstarter Notebook Modular Tuesday, December 5, 2017 New Caran d' Ache So far this is my complete 849 collection to date. I added one lime green fountain pen. Here we have a neon yellow pen and pencil set. Here are the new ones. Add all these great pens to your collection. Posted by My Supply Room at 10:39 AM No comments: Labels: New Caran d' Ache Monday, November 27, 2017 Retro 51 Glow In The Dark It has taken some time but I think I have them all. The last one on the top row is the new Pen Addict glow in the dark pen. Here are the new ones. Add all 25 pens and pencils to your collection.

Ones on the right are from Jetpens. Bottom one I picked up in Germany. Nice glow. Add them all to your collection. Posted by My Supply Room at 6:05 PM 1 comment: Labels: Plastic Erasers Sunday, November 12, 2017 Casio micro-mimi Calculator ` Here is one I have been hunting for some time. The Casio micro-mimi Calculator. Only 2 1/2"s tall and working. I say that because some of the calculators in my collection do not work. Just like some of my older pens do not work. Made in Japan and sold between 1977 and 1978. There were about six different models made with this one being the M810. The others had the on and off switch on the face of the calculator. Will try and get one of those. This one works and in good shape. Will fit in your pocket or purse. Add one to your collection. Posted by My Supply Room at 2:48 PM No comments: Labels: Casio micro-mimi Calculator Thursday, November 9, 2017 Pentel Set Of Four Here is a nice set of vintage Pentel drafting pencils. This is a well used case but I am sure the original owner got some good use out of it. The case had three 0.5 pencils and one 0.3. The original case only had three pencils plus lead and instructions. This pencil seems to be the oldest of the set. Would love to see some details on the original set so more research is needed. Add a set like this to your collection. Posted by My Supply Room at 9:56 AM No comments: Labels: Pentel Set Of Four Sunday, November 5, 2017 New Pens and Pencils Lets start with the Yoda Sheaffer roller ball. Next is the Caran 'd Ache neon yellow 849 pen and pencil set. Followed by the 60s or early 70s Papermate Zodiac ball point. This is an extra. Next is a Koh-I-Noor Hardtmuth 5340 lead holder. Love the color. Last is a a almost new Parker 88 ball point pen. Sheaffer has three new pens out for Star Wars which I will post later. All of these are great looking pens. Add them all to your collection. Posted by My Supply Room at 7:24 PM No comments: Labels: New Pens and Pencils Monday, October 30, 2017 Happy Halloween Happy Halloween to everybody. These are from 1991 to about 1995. More new Star Wars pens and highlighters. Add them all to your collection.

I only picked up three so far but I will get around to buying them all. Now they come out with four new Gothic Jotters with the new clip, new colors and and four new designs on the barrel. These new pens take inspiration from the ornate embellishments of the oldest cathedrals in the UK. They look heavy but are very light. They moved up to the top of the daily rotation. Add them all to your collection. Posted by My Supply Room at 8:05 PM No comments: Labels: New Parker Jotters New BIC 4 Way I only have this Star Wars BIC 4 Way so I have one more in the mail.

This is the RS EC-319 Appointment Directory Calculator. It is in good working condition with the manual. To bad it is not a phone. I would have liked to use this one. Add one to your collection. Posted by My Supply Room at 6:34 PM 3 comments: Labels: Radio Shack EC-319 Appointment Calculator Monday, October 2, 2017 Blackwing Vol 1 Here we go with another Blackwing pencil. This one is Volume 1 and commemorates Guy Clark. One of the key artists of Americana music. I never heard of him but I do like the pencils. This is a round pencil. I don't think Blackwing had another round pencil. Add one to your collection.

“Empire of the Dead” artist Arthur Suydam was interviewed recently at the Louisville Wizard World Comic Con where he announced that the Marvel comic, which is written by zombie king George A. Romero, is going to be an AMC program.
“This just got signed to AMC. The new big zombie series on AMC is expected to be this one right here,” Suydam told WHAS11.
We reported that the comic was coming to the small screen back in May. Back then it was announced that the, “…series will be written by Romero and longtime partner Peter Grunwald, and executive produced by Romero and Grunwald with Demarest’s Sam Englebardt and William D. Johnson.”
The comic series not only focused on the zombie plague but also introduced vampires into the mix. It took place mainly in New York City.
The mini-series took place over 15 issues, which were released starting in January 2014 and ended in August of this year. | positive |

Living in the Clouds: 50 New York Residential Towers Poised to Scrape the Sky (Part I)
It seems like every week a new residential skyscraper is being announced in New York City, just earlier this week the New York Times noted that a partnership between Steven Witkoff and Harry Macklowe is moving ahead with a redevelopment of the Park Lane Hotel at 36 Central Park West with an 850-foot tower.
With the mind-boggling amount of residential spires poised to pierce the sky, here’s a quick rundown of the tallest of the tall–the spindly bunch set to soar higher than 700 feet. Keep in mind that just 30 years ago, the tallest residence in the city was perched atop the 664-foot Trump Tower. Today, buildings are on the drawing board for more than twice that height.

Media playback is unsupported on your device Media caption Immigration activist Steven Choi: 'An unjust and discriminatory Muslim ban'
The White House has set new criteria for visa applicants from six mainly Muslim countries and all refugees, requiring them to have a "close" family or business tie to the US.
The rules, affecting people from Iran, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, are coming into force on Thursday.
They were issued after the Supreme Court partially restored President Donald Trump's travel ban on Monday.
The executive order had been blocked by lower courts since February.
The revised rules - taking conditions laid out in the Supreme Court ruling - come into effect at 20:00 Washington time (00:00 GMT).
Who can come in?
According to the new rules, confirmed to the BBC, for the next 90 days those from the six countries without a close relationship will not be able to enter the US.
Those considered to have a close relationship under the policy include a parent, spouse, child, son or daughter-in-law, or sibling, including step- or half-siblings.
Excluded are grandparents, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, in-laws, extended family and grandchildren.
Image copyright Reuters Image caption The original ban in January provoked protests at US airports
Also exempt from the new rules are those with business or educational ties to the US.
However, the guidelines specifically state that the relationship must be formal, documented and not formed for the purpose of evading the order.
Those who already hold valid visas are not affected. Dual nationals who travel on their passport from the unaffected country will also be allowed entry.
More on Trump's travel ban
What exactly does the Supreme Court ruling say?
The Supreme Court said in Monday's decision that it would make a final ruling on the executive order in October.
But in the meantime, it added, the order "may not be enforced against foreign nationals who have a credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States".
Image copyright Getty Images Image caption President Donald Trump says the ban is a victory for national security
The court also approved the 120-day ban on refugees entering the United States, allowing the government to bar entry to refugee claimants who do not have any "bona fide relationship" with an American individual or entity.
What has the reaction been?
President Trump called the court's decision a "victory for our national security. He said the order was needed to stop terrorists entering the US, but critics said it was a ban on Muslims.
Lawyers on both sides of the argument have warned that the new restrictions could open the door to a flood of legal challenges.
In particular, the exact meaning of the phrase "bona fide" was expected to come under scrutiny.

Meanwhile, a number of activist groups have promised to help people caught up in the ban. The New York Immigration Coalition says it plans to be at the city's John F Kennedy International Airport to "monitor the effects of Trump's revised Muslim and refugee ban".
But so far, the order does not appear to have had too big an impact on travellers.
A spokesman form Emirates, the Middle East's largest airline, said on Thursday: "Our flights to the US are operating as per normal. All passengers must possess the appropriate travel documents, including a valid US entry visa, in order to travel." | positive |

Imagine you are in a movie theater watching an action film. Your head is fixed on the screen. How do you follow the action from one side of the screen to the other? Usually by moving your eyes. Actually, we humans have a high degree of eye movements that allows us to track objects and communicate signals to other human beings. Although, the degree of eye movement differs between bird species, it is overall more constrained than in humans. How do birds solve the problem of tracking objects with eyes placed peripherally and limited eye movements? The solution to this evolutionary riddle is simple: moving the head! While moving the head, birds can focus on two images at the same time (one per eye, as eyes are placed peripherally). However, to keep track of what is going on around its head, birds move their heads very quickly. How quickly? Have a look at this video (requires Quick Time � ). Even better: try to count the number of all head-movements this bird exhibits while pecking at seeds. The video lasts 1 min and 23 seconds, so you can calculate the rate of head movement per min. Now, watch the video again, but now focus on how the bird moves its head right before going head-down. As you will see, one of its eyes focuses on the seeds on the ground by placing the head in a 90 � angle in relation to the ground . There are many things to study about head movements, as we do not know how they vary in species with different configuration of visual fields. Our research will address between-species variation in head movements. Previous: Foraging and visual fields | positive |

She really went the extra mile to get me gifts that fit my interests perfectly! I got two bottles of e-liquid: shortcake and Earl Grey Tea flavors. I'm a looseleaf tea nut, and Earl Grey is my favorite! She also sent along my new favorite t-shirt featuring the Barry Sanders sprite from Tecmo Bowl for the SNES! Perfect for a video gaming Lions fan like myself. The package also included a Pathfinder campaign booklet (I'm into 5th edition D&D, but I'm sure I can adapt it for my group)! Finally, Kara thoughtfully included some gifts for my pooch, Oliver! He loves his new stuffed dragon, and the beggin strips are sure to be a hit as well!
Thanks so much, Kara! I know from your note that you don't share all of my interests, but you talked to friends and made the effort to get me awesome gifts relating to them anyway, which means more than anything you sent me! Merry belated Christmas to you, too! And just this once...
O-H!

Cool offline slot machines to play if you prefer authenticity. Playing in a land-based casino makes gambling much more authentic, which makes all of your winnings even more authentic. You can play with other gamblers in a real casino, which can make you feel like you have some kind of kinship. So with that in mind, offline slot machines make for better gambling games than their online counterparts and nothing can stop any player from saying otherwise. Or so the author thought. Slot machines in real casinos have been the best games for punters until the online slot machines appeared, which completely destroyed their land based competition. Online poker machines have a higher winning percentage compared to land-based ones. Poker machines in land-based casinos have about an 80% to 88% chance of winning, which for any player is already very high. But for online hspccc pokies, their win percentage is around 95% to 98%, which is much closer to 100%. It is so close that some people may think this is a hoax just to urge them to choose to play with online poker machines. Fortunately, no. Those percentages are very real and online pokies pay more than their land-based counterparts. Here’s the reason… With the advent of the internet, many online casinos have started using virtual planes to open their doors to punters around the world. Since they started appearing around the mid-1990s, almost every month new online casinos have started operating. Opening a business on the internet is not as difficult as opening in Vegas or Atlantic City. Online casino owners don’t need to hire a lot of people to run their virtual gambling company, they just need a few technicians to monitor their program and one great piece of software to run it. Online casino owners don’t need to secure a dozen or more documents to start their operations, they just need a few to make them legit and they’re up and running. Online casino owners do not need to rent property just to build a casino because the internet is purely virtual and intangible, so there is no need for building permits and all that other stuff. Simply put, it is much easier to build an online casino than a real one, which is why so many of them started to appear when the craze for these online gambling venues came to life. Now why are they preferred over land-based casinos? Slot machines and online casinos are much better than land-based ones because with so many of them popping up month after month, all trying to outdo each other to attract new customers and keep their old ones; and the way they beat each other is by giving out more bonuses than any other online poker machine. Now that’s why you should play more with online slot machines than with land-based slot games. With online pokies, you can get a hundred times more bonuses, promotions and jackpots compared to offline pokies. Keep in mind that they are all trying to compete with each other because it is so much easier to switch online casinos than to leave a land-based casino and look for another. So with that in mind, online slot machines really are a better deal than their land-based counterparts, and if you prefer higher payouts and more bonuses than just looking cool then this is the type of game to have. you play 20/06/2022 by superadmin Use Preferences to Play Online Casino Gambling Use Preferences to Play Online Casino Gambling – There will be many ways that you can easily use in playing online gambling games that are much more profitable and produce a number of important advantages in terms of online gambling. Many online casinos offer a large selection of games, so you will never get bored. You can use this guide to help you find the perfect online game or a new gambling casino game. This will make it easier for you to have fun playing online. Slots are very popular online games. Almost all online casinos provide online casino slots. Slot machines, casino gambling machines, have three or more reels that spin as soon as a button is pressed. This is a pure online game of luck. If your number is correct, you will be the winner. However, if you don’t hit the right numbers, you could lose all your money. Online slots offer the best gambling options. Casino Roulette Roulette is one of the most loved games. To begin with, you will choose a gambling website. Be sure to review each casino to make the right decision. Once you understand this, you can play roulette online. Roulette allows players to bet on a single number or range of numbers. They can also bet on red or blue, and if the number appears odd or even. The dealer spins the wheel and then spins 315dianying a circular track around the circle to find the winning number. The roulette ball eventually loses momentum and simply falls onto the wheel, into one of the colored pockets and is numbered 37 (in Europe) or 38 (in the United States). Video Poker Online Video Poker combines classic poker with slot machine games. Poker fans can often play in any of these games. This game offers unique attractions with wild and scatter symbols. It quickly became popular. This online game includes a number of bonus rounds. Blackjack Online Blackjack is a very popular casino game. It is enjoyed either professionally in casinos, at blackjack tournaments, or as a hobby between friends and family at social gatherings.

If this happens, of course, it can have an impact on online soccer gambling activities to material losses. If you don’t want to experience this block, here are some reasons. In addition, we will also provide tips to avoid it. 4 Causes of Agent Blocked Football Gambling Accounts Actually the cause of this freezing or blocking stage is suspicious activity from an account.

Wrong Password When Login As in other security systems, when there is an incorrect password more than three times, it will be frozen. Likewise with the online soccer gambling security system.

You have to constantly reload your account, and you may end up blaming the poker site, online cheating, bad beats, your parents, and basically anyone or anything but yourself. Here are the top six reasons why you LOSE at poker – to be a winning poker player, don’t make these mistakes! Play cards that are weaker than your opponent’s to perform the “action” as quickly as possible. Here are the crowd’s favourites. If you play poker to get some action, you need a bolder life! Or at the very least, you need to ignore the possibility that you will ever be a winning poker player. The object of poker is NOT to see as many flops as possible, but to extract as much value as possible from the cards and situations that happen to you. Often, that means patience. Sometimes, great patience. If you are looking for action, maybe you should take up one of the other games offered at the casino? Don’t pay attention to position – the same card can be played from any position for any amount of money. If you think that the button is just a plastic disc marking the way to the blinds, you are spending money on yourself. AK in first position is not comparable to AK in late position, where you have the choice of playing aggressively or calling and seeing what develops. Poker is a game of information, and each betting inhibitormol round provides additional information about your opponent’s possible hands. At the very least, it provides a lot of information about the hand your opponent is trying to represent, and you can judge for yourself how likely it is that he or she actually holds the hand the bet indicates. But either way, it’s always an advantage to see what your opponent is going to do before acting – you can keep the bet if you feel like you’re falling behind or get an extra bet if you believe you’re in the lead. You MUST tighten your standard out of position and loosen it into position. Play passively, calling with your hand to see what develops. You never know what kind of draw might happen, and you want your opponent to “show” what he has. The goal of poker again is to maximize returns on your good hands and minimize losses on your bad hands. You can’t play sheriff on all sides just because you think there’s a chance, however slight, that another player is bluffing. For the most part, players are NOT bluffing when they show a lot of interest in the hand. You need to read your opponent very well to ignore the hands he represents if he is playing consistent and aggressive poker from start to finish. If your opponent’s actions tell a consistent story that he has a big hand, it’s usually wise to believe them unless you’ve seen similar bluffs in the past. And even if you suspect theft, calling is usually still a bad thing. It’s much better to challenge your opponents early, when the stakes are still cheap, then call through four separate rounds of increasingly expensive bets. Test your opponents early, and you’ll put more pressure on your opponents at less cost than passively calling to see their hands. Focus on your own cards, and ignore what your opponent’s past betting patterns, current bets, and general table situation suggest about his possible holdings. This is a favorite of the multi-table crowd. It’s true that by playing conservative, locked-in poker, you can often be the best player at the lowest level without taking the time to gauge your opponents or watch the other hands at the table. You can probably get by simply playing your own hand, and assessing how likely you are to win by measuring the strength of your own hand relative to the board. 27/04/2022 by superadmin Looking For Very Interesting Slot Machines Looking For Very Interesting Slot Machines – Many people are happy when they try to play online gambling games, because they will get a lot of profit and can also bring more money to get.

According to a set of way-too-early polls from Public Policy Polling, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Joe Biden would all demolish Donald Trump in head-to-head matchups in the 2020 Presidential elections. Surprisingly, it is Joe Biden who fares the best against Donald Trump. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.
Transcript:
According to a way too early poll by Public Policy Polling, Donald Trump is already in bad shape as we head into hypothetical head to head match ups for the 2020 presidential election. According to the poll, Donald Trump would lose to Senator Elizabeth Warren by seven points if the election were held today. He would lose to Senator Bernie Sanders by 13 points if the elections were today and, most surprisingly, he would lose to former Vice President Joe Biden by 15 points if the election were held today.
Now, I say the Biden one is the most interesting because everybody understands how popular Bernie Sanders is. Still poll after poll after poll this year shows he’s the most popular politician in this country. Elizabeth Warren, also very popular. No surprise that she would beat Trump although in the poll she did not crack 50%. It was 49% to 42% in the head to head match up. But, Joe Biden comes as the big surprise in this one. A lot of people think it’s because he’s more of an establishment Democrat. Probably would have an administration that would mirror that of Barack Obama, his boss, while in office. And, to an extent, I agree with that. I do think Biden would be more of an establishment type. I think he would be more than willing to bend to the will of Wall Street, or big pharma, or the fossil fuel industries if it came to that.
But, the reason I think people think Biden would be a good choice in addition to the establishment nonsense is because Joe Biden, love him or hate him, is a fighter and that’s what it’s going to take to go against Donald Trump. I know we don’t want another corporate Democrat. We don’t want an establishment type but we do have to have someone willing to stand up to him and get their hands a little dirty if needed.
Hillary Clinton took the high road. And, to an extent, obviously that is admirable. She didn’t want to necessarily go personal against Donald Trump in the debates, but she also didn’t go policy either. She didn’t really talk about anything and that’s what cost her the election. I think Joe Biden, somebody who does understand policy and also understands that sometimes you have to throw that punch, I think he could do well against Donald Trump. But, having said that, he also probably wouldn’t do a whole hell of a lot to change things in this country. Sure, they’d be better than they are now, but really that would be true for almost any Democrat taking office.
We need somebody who’s transformative. We need a Bernie Sanders or an Elizabeth Warren or Tulsi Gabbard, Kamala Harris, a lot of progressives. For some reason are a little down on Kamala Harris right now. I’ve seen nothing in her voting record or in her financials that would indicate that she is an establishment type but nonetheless. Ted Lieu is also a phenomenal Democrat over from California. I think he should start being included in these discussions. While he is fairly new to office, I still think he brings a lot to the table and he is a fighter. He fights Donald Trump everyday on Twitter. Quite hilarious. If you haven’t already, you should go check it out.
But, nonetheless, we need a fighter. We need somebody who’s going to pull this country back to the left, somebody who’s going to push for universal healthcare or single-payer system, somebody who’s going to push to protect the environment, somebody who’s going to push back against corporate influence and that is one of the most important things because that touches on every other issue. Corporate influence is the reason we’re allowing our environment to be dismantled and destroyed. Corporate influence is the reason we don’t have a single-payer healthcare system in this country. Corporate influence is why prescription drug prices are so high. Corporate influence is the reason the Department of Education is trying to cut back on their spending and privatize everything.
That is what we need to fight against because at the heart of all of the problems in this country, you can take every single one of them back to the influence that corporations have over our leaders. If the Democrats want to win in 2020, they’ve got to find a candidate who is not afraid to stand up to these corporations and just frankly tell them no. | positive |

The highly-rated Brazilian centre-back, who has been courted by Manchester City and Barcelona lately, is in France to talk with Les Parisiens
ARGENTINA 4-3 BRAZIL
Stunning Leo Messi hat-trick ensures victory in thrilling friendly held in New Jersey
Follow Robin Bairner on
By Robin Bairner & Elia Raimondo AC Milan centre-back Thiago Silva is on the verge of joining Paris Saint-Germain Leonardo, sporting director of the French club, has confirmed.The Brazil international defender is regarded as one of the outstanding players in his position in the world and has caught the eye of Carlo Ancelotti’s PSG, who are eager to strengthen their rearguard as they attempt to establish themselves as a superpower of the game following the takeover of the club by QSI last summer.A source close to the Italian club told: "Milan have given Thiago Silva permission to speak to PSG. It's not yet official but it will be."This has been supported by Leonardo, who told L'Equipe: "We are going to see Thiago Silva ... but it will not be easy!"While the clubs are still some distance apart on a potential transfer fee, the South American is currently in Paris to push through the move. PSG are willing to put forward €40 million, but the Serie A giants have set their asking price for the 27-year-old at €50m.However, the Brazilian's agent, Paulo Tonietto, has admitted a switch is likely to RMC: "I know PSG are very interested in Thiago Silva, but at the moment the player is still Rossoneri. However, anything is possible." Manchester City registered an interest in Silva in May , offering a part-exchange deal that would have included Carlos Tevez, although the Rossoneri turned this down as they simply want cash for their defensive keystone. Meanwhile, Barcelona appear unwilling to match Milan’s asking price.This interest provoked a quick response from the defender, who said that he would remain at San Siro , but the serious nature of PSG’s approach has enticed him to discuss terms with the ambitious Ligue 1 outfit.With money stretched for the seven-time European champions, they are prepared to part company with one of their few great assets as things stand, though there are rumours that they could be subject to investment by Sheik Al Maktoum.If the Emirati tycoon were to inject money into the club by purchasing a 25 per cent share, the Rossoneri’s stance would alter drastically, and the Brazilian would not be sold, yet present owner Silvio Berlusconi is against giving up such a large proportion of his share, which may pave the way to Paris for Silva. | positive |

Gildas | The City Cook, Inc. City Cook Logo Featured Recipes Columns The Interview What's Fabulous Food News The Kitchen Sink Advice What's In Season Ingredients 101 Cookbooks Hardware & Software Where to Shop Tags About Kate McDonough, Editor My Pandemic Diary Book Policies and Principles Contact Search Facebook Pinterest RSS X Featured Advice Tags About Contact Gildas Gildas Servings: 4. The Gilda is the most popular and best-known pintxos, or tapas, from the Basque region of Spain. It was created more than 65 years ago in the beautiful and food-obsessed coastal city of San Sebastián, and named for the title character, played by Rita Hayworth, in the 1946 film noir "Gilda," directed by Charles Vidor. The story goes that despite the film's risqué plot, it managed to get through the then-censorship of the Franco regime, inspiring locals to create a spicy pintxos as a subversive endorsement of the film's femme fatale's boldness and independence. All these years later, Rita Hayworth posters remain popular in the wine bars of San Sebastián, as do small glass jars filled with these olive oil-slicked stacks of Manzanilla olives, guindilla peppers, and anchovies. Gildas have become internationally popular, their subtle spiciness and bright flavor making them a perfect partner for a cocktail or glass of wine, sherry or cold vermouth. (Although when I was in San Sebastián and first discovered Gildas, they were also served at breakfast in our hotel -- they are that popular!) They are also low in calories, in contrast to many typical hors d'oeuvres. They are easy to make and are basically assembled, not cooked. You'll need cocktail sticks, which are essentially large toothpicks. The ones used in Spain, made from wood, are themselves called pintxos. And a drizzle of olive oil will help keep the Gildas from darken while they wait to be enjoyed. Because a Gilda is so simple, use the best quality ingredients you can find as each flavor is important. Gildas are best eaten in one bite -- getting a mouthful combination of the salty olive and anchovy with the subtle heat of the green pepper. So raise a glass and take a bite -- ¡Salud This recipe makes 8 Gildas, intending two for each person. Ingredients 8 green olives, pitted (preferably Manzanillas) 8 to 12 guindilla peppers 8 anchoves, packed in olive oil Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling Directions Have ready 8 cocktail sticks or large and long toothpicks. Pierce an olive with the cocktail stick and position it to the stick's center. Take an anchovy, and while keeping it whole, thread it onto the stick so that it wraps around the olive (see the photograph. Take a guindilla pepper -- either a whole one if it is small, or else cut a larger pepper into 1 1/2 to 2-inch pieces -- and pierce and slide a piece of pepper onto either side of the anchovy wrapped olive. Spanish ingredients are increasingly easy to find but if you don't have a local Spanish market like Despaña in NYC'a SoHo, you can find jars of guindilla peppers at Amazon. With some patience, I'm sure they will also be available when chef José Andrés opens his Spanish food court at NYC's Hudson Yards sometime next year, although that's a long time to wait for the delight of making and eating a Gilda.

What the movie gave me that I loved: The first time we ever see any cinematic attempt at a realistic domestic life between Lois and Clark on the big screen. Her fear for him, his confiding in her, how their professional lives work with their relationship and Clark's abilities. But also a Lois Lane who is a completely determined and relentless journalist in the face of bodily danger. The first time we see a truly scary, at times nightmarish, Batman. A broken Batman who has lost his faith and his idealism, who now blurs the line between vigilante and brutal punisher. (Pun not intended... but still applicable.) He drinks, he pops pills, he's restless. He's depressed. And he's ruthless... until he comes back from the brink. A bat cave with rotating podiums for the suit, and a memorial for what is clearly a deceased Robin, his own attire spray painted with what we can only infer are the words of the Joker. (Suicide Squad may or may not reveal more, or perhaps we'll have to wait for the stand alone Batfleck flick.) An Alfred that is a capable strategist, with a wry sense of humor that allows him to match wits with the world's greatest detective. (And even helps him work.) He also, as always, at least tries to be Bruce's conscience, with less than optimal results. The World Engine sound effect while Bruce Wayne approaches his parents' grave, foreshadowing that it's a dream (repeated again at the onset of his Flash vision sequence,) and underscoring how traumatized he was by Superman's battle with Zod and its implications for his own role in the world - and how much that trauma hearkens back to the loss of his parents. The moment Senator Finch defied Luthor being the moment he became resolved to kill her, lending his prior disturbing but ultimately merely awkward manner a far more menacing tone. (And her realization of this through a callback to their creepily adversarial conversation.) Clark's realization that his idealism is not only seen as quaint today ("America's conscience died with Martin, Robert, and John,") but genuinely questioning his own ethical compass. A similar moment occurs when Lois seems aghast that someone would "use live soldiers as guinea pigs," and is told, "And this is what makes you such a good reporter. Stuff like this still shocks you." The implied but not explicit (although much MORE explicit in this Ultimate Edition!) deft manipulation by Lex through subtle mentions of people responsible for creating the negative perception in Bruce and Clark's minds of one another vanishing or having a mysterious aura. A disturbed, genuinely unsettling Lex Luthor who perpetually feels on the verge of exploding. (Who, it is heavily implied, is not Lex Luthor as we know him, but Lex Jr. Whether that is sufficient justification for such a departure of characterization is for you to decide. I for one loved it.) Clark feeling powerless to change the world, doubting his own effectiveness, and having to resort to using Superman to confront Batman. This is why he didn't make more effort to "talk" incidentally. By this point both had already been maneuvered into despising one another. But more importantly, Superman by this point had bought into the same lie Batman has - "No one stays good in this world." He did make a halfhearted attempt, but with his mother's life on the line and already feeling powerless to do the right thing in his own life, he seized upon a "hero" worse than he feared the world now saw him as, in a last desperate attempt to at least save the few good things he still sees in his world. Just as Batman seized upon Superman as the new personification of his own pain and rage. The "Martha scene." Yes, that scene was a pro for me, not a con. It was a complete reversal of the deception described above. At the start of the film, we see Bruce's father laying, dying, mutter, "Martha," to his beloved wife, as a young and shattered Bruce looks on. Later, Superman is laying broken, similarly to Bruce's father, saying "Martha" in his last gasp as well. Bruce has become what he despises. He is taking the life of a man who loves a woman named Martha, laying defenseless at his feet. Only in this moment is Bruce redeemed, recognizing what he has become. When he throws the spear away he's not "freaking out," he's angrily and disgustedly rejecting what he's become: a monster like his own mother's killer. I didn't see it as them miraculously and conveniently "making up." Instead, for me, this was where Bruce regains what remains of his CONSCIENCE. Both learn from one another that their broken faith in good was a grievous error. Thus it became beautiful and powerful, not ridiculous or unbelievable. A Wonder Woman who holds her own (and then some - downright gleeful at the prospect of a worthy opponent in Doomsday) with Superman and Batman, and perhaps more importantly and interestingly... a Diana Prince who holds her own (and, again, then some) with Bruce Wayne. The way Doomsday (even though I do wish they had held off on him - see my only major complaints below) continually grows more powerful and "is unkillable." And the way Wonder Woman takes it to him, even cutting off his hand at one point, but it still rapidly becomes clear that even she is struggling, and that in due course, he would wear them down and be victorious if not for Clark's ultimate sacrifice. Which is why the Doomsday fight is redeemed for me. I wish it hadn't been Doomsday but... if they were going to KILL Superman, then it HAD to be him. And it does make for a tragic, extremely moving finale. There was no way to stop the beast. Even the golden lasso broke when he began to evolve for a final time. The only thing that could stop him was kryptonite. And the only one strong enough to drive said kryptonite into him once he became more armored... was the one that kryptonite would also weaken enough for Doomsday to kill. Tragic irony in the literal sense: the weapon Batman's hatred and rage drove him to use to kill Superman is the only thing that saved the world... but also ended up still killing Clark, despite Bruce's change of heart. Brutal. Beautiful. Perry White's darkly comedic digs at Clark repeatedly throughout the movie were, in their way, hilarious. Possibly the closest thing to true comedy relief in the whole movie. But still making a point nevertheless. I also loved how when the chips were down, he dropped his callous demeanor to help Lois as a personal favor the moment she said nothing more than, "It's not for a story." He was born to play these sorts of "tough guy, yet unflinchingly heroic and loyal when need be" characters, as we saw on Hannibal. He just conveys so much heart yet authority. Lex's PUNS. This was a great bit of writing in my opinion, rendering the nervously diabolical yet brilliant Luthor as being so far ahead of the curve mentally that he's darkly amused by his own brilliance without even having to try. After kidnapping Clark's mother and expounding on how he believes Superman is essentially God and that total righteousness cannot coexist with absolute power, he quips, "Mother of God, will you look at the time!" When asked by a legless man what he wants he replies, "To help you stand for something." He tells Senator Finch, "You are gonna be on the hot seat in there, June bug," before she dies in an explosion. When Superman arrives after his timer expires he quips,"Late late says the white rabbit... right wabbit? Out of tricks..." (Trix.) And in his final confrontation with Batman he says, "Civilization on the wane (Wayne,) manners (manors) out the window," before snorting at his own cleverness. This was a fantastic character trait. Lex's explanation of the etymology of the world Philanthropist, in contrast to what we know about him. Yes, he "loves humanity," but only as an extension of his own ego and inability to tolerate what he perceives to be a god-like figure in Superman. Also his, "The bittersweet pain among men is having knowledge without power, because that is paradoxical," being played off as an amusing outburst by a socially awkward weirdo, is in actuality an ironic delivery of an existential statement of the human condition. (This moment also gives us a glimpse into the pain behind Luthor's madness.) Likewise, there's a fantastic moment in the movie where a montage of Superman rescuing people throughout the world is juxtaposed over somber music, and a news report featuring Charlie Rose and others debating whether such a being should be celebrated or feared. Clark watches this report after his heroics, sullen and confused as to what he must do to make it clear that his intentions are good. This is a stark contrast to, say, Superman IV in which Clark watches the world "stumble headlong into nuclear annihilation," and decides unilaterally to stop it... and is hailed the world over as a savior, complete with John Williams' beautiful fanfare. Again and again throughout this film we see symbolism drawing sharp parallels between our own conscience and morality as a nation and as a world, with the idealized hero Superman has traditionally been. It's almost as if Snyder is saying to us, "Look. You say you want a hopeful, lighthearted vision of Superman. But that's not the world I see us creating with our own non-super hands and hearts. If Superman really came down to Earth tomorrow... this is what might actually happen." And while I agree movies CAN be just escapism and it might be a tad pretentious for a super hero flick of all things to try to be more... it's still

This year ought be a great moment in the history of work, by which I mean there shouldn’t be very much work to do. Eighty-five years ago, John Maynard Keynes predicted that the problem of future generations would be too little rather than too much work: not a bad problem to have. Technological development and compound interest would mean that we in the 21st century would be “only too glad to have the small duties and tasks and routines” of the rich, as paid work would take up an ever diminishing part of our time. We might be needed on the job for three hours a day.
While Keynes’s prophecy hasn’t come to pass, he was right in a sense: machines can do many things – more all the time – better, cheaper and more efficiently than people can. Algorithms write share reports for the Associated Press with a flat clarity; computer-controlled robot arms bend and weld the bonnets of Minis at the BMW pressings plant in Swindon. But in Swindon, and pretty much everywhere else, the robots’ human designers and repairers aren’t yet on a 15-hour week. Why have machines, and an evermore productive economy, led not to the world Keynes foresaw, in which work is a shrinking part of life, but to one in which work seems to be colonising life?
In the past, you could tell what work was partly because it consisted of tasks you wouldn’t do at home, where there are no crops to harvest or assembly lines to man. Economists think of jobs as belonging to one of three broad sectors: agriculture, industry and services. Agriculture employs very few people today, industry takes on far fewer workers than in the past, while the service sector has nearly doubled in size.
In 1948, teaching, nursing, retail, administration and so on employed 44% of the workforce; today, the service sector employs 85% of workers across the UK. This shift has meant two things for what work feels like in offices, shops and factories across the country: an upsurge in the sort of jobs that use our emotions instead of our bodies; and the crumbling of the divisions between work and life.
Over the last 50 years or so – when, not coincidentally, women have become a permanent fixture in the workplace – jobs have more and more required doing the sort of “women’s work” formerly associated with home life. Work increasingly consists of doing things you already do for love (for want of a better term), not money. Call centres, cafes, homes, boardrooms, classrooms, waiting rooms: working in these places demands caring, smiling, anticipating someone’s feelings or, indeed, changing them.
We know there is work behind the relentless cheerfulness we buy along with our morning coffee – an ex-barista describes stealing over-the-counter chat from a naturally sunny colleague and finding himself still asking: “Did you have a nice weekend?” on Thursday – but we don’t often think about what goes into that alacrity. Perhaps we don’t want to be scowled at when ordering a cafe creme, as can happen in Paris, but what’s the cost of the manufacture of feeling that, increasingly, we are all required to do?
What does work feel like now it has so much to do with feelings or, we might say, the presentation of feelings?
Women’s work – “care work” or “affective labour”, as academics often call it – is no longer just for women. The call-centre worker had to be good humoured and reasonable at all times, but also talked of being signed off with depression, of drinking more than he used to, of his son trying to convince him that work was closed today. The creative director in advertising had to leave her young son for several weeks while she shot an ad across four continents. She described her work as talking, “from the moment I get in until the moment I go home”. A social media entrepreneur relied on her iPhone calendar to know where she had to be every day and while her tote-bag office could be set up in a park or at a cafe or on a hot desk, she had to be instantly and always available for her employer.
For this is another way in which the boundaries between work and “life” have broken down. The working week refuses to get shorter and sometimes seems to have burst its boundaries altogether. Everyone who works in an office feels they must answer emails outside the office too, because jobs are no longer for life and we must constantly, and anxiously, prove ourselves. Work has become both less remunerative – wages are down 8% on 2010 – more pervasive and less secure. Labour’s plans to raise the minimum wage to £8 and end zero-hours contracts after 12 weeks address the practical problems but don’t get at the tendency of us all to become servants of the service industry.
Though no one I spoke to yet worked Keynes’s 15-hour week, I did find someone who worked only a 24-hour week, in two shifts. Ina, born in Bulgaria, has done sex work from a flat in central London for five years. She holds her two nights of work apart from the rest of her life: partly because not everyone in her life knows what she does, partly because that’s the way she sees things: “I tend not to take home my work,” she says. “Like even when you work in an office or a restaurant, don’t take it home with you, don’t take the stress with you at home.”
Beyond those two evenings, Ina saw friends, spent time with her boyfriend and studied for the career she wanted to pursue in care work. Whether through smartphones or zero-hours contracts, work has seeped into all the corners of our lives: we need to collectively resist the idea, as Ina does, that work is all there is and that workers are all we are. Not-just-workers of the world, unite!
