“In every first novel the hero is the author as Christ or as Faust.”
“There is no such thing as a moral or immoral book. Books are well written or badly written.” (The Picture of Dorian Gray)
“Formerly we used to canonise our heroes. The modern method is to vulgarise them. Cheap editions of great books may be delightful, but cheap editions of great men are absolutely detestable.” (The True Function and Value of Literary Criticism)
“Every great man nowadays has his disciples, and it is always Judas that writes the biography.” (Intentions)
“I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read on the train.” (The Importance of Being Earnest)
“The good ended happily and the bad unhappily. That is what fiction means.” (The Importance of Being Earnest)
“Wordsworth went to the Lakes, but he never was a lake poet … He found in stones the sermons he had already put there.” (Intentions)
“A writer is someone who has taught his mind to misbehave.”
“It is what you read when you don’t have to that determines what you will be when you can’t help it.”
“Words! Mere words! How terrible they were! How clear, and vivid, and cruel! One could not escape from them. And yet what a subtle magic there was in them! They seemed to be able to give a plastic form to formless things, and to have a music of their own as sweet as that of viol or of lute. Mere words! Was there anything so real as words?” (The Picture of Dorian Gray) | positive |

Today, at 9AM SLT, the 11 sims of the Fantasy Faire 2014 will open their doors….well, portals, to the public. I’ve had the privilege of extra early access since this weekend and have been exploring and taking pics like a mad thing, while builders and designers worked their (in some case mesh) asses off to get it all ready! Seriously days and nights people were running around with prims, mesh, textures, vendors and whatnot…I can only say: a VERY BIG WELL DONE to all the hard workers, because the end result is more than stunning.
I have no favourite sim, I really do not.
Today, a few hours before official opening – while the bloggers are allover the place to check it out, I went back to Hopes Horizon, a sim built by Jaimy Hancroft and sponsored by Dwarfins, for some pics of an outfit I got from Fallen Gods Inc., and for the last photo’s now it is not that busy yet :).
SLURLS (as soon as the Faire opens), store-lists, bloggers and background information can all be found on the official website! Happy shopping and most of all: when you go, and you know you want to, take the time to admire the wonderful builds too!

A terrorist attack has struck downtown Fresno, California on Tuesday afternoon. Kori Ali Muhammad, otherwise known as “Black Jesus,” went on a racist hate-filled shooting spree, chanting “Allahu Akbar” and targeting white people.
Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer confirmed that Muhammad had made several Facebook posts talking about his hatred for white people. All the people Muhammad shot were white men.
The murderer was already on the run from the law after killing a security guard at a Motel 6 last week, police said.
Fox News reported that the three men killed were shot in various locations including a PG&E moving truck and in front of Catholic Charities.
“Our thoughts are with all involved in the incident that occurred in Fresno today,” PG&E said in a statement. “Public and employee safety is always our top priority. We are still gathering information on what happened, and will work to support first responders and law enforcement in their efforts.”

Showcasing Android Tech Stack
Freeletics has published four Android apps (Bodyweight, Running, Gym, Nutrition) as part of its product strategy. These apps collectively help everyone in the world unleash their full physical and mental potential and become the greatest version of themselves. We’re extremely proud of them, but at the same time, we owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to the communities that built the tools that made it possible.
From all of us at Freeletics, #ClapClap and Thank you!
A Little Background
Freeletics is a sport where you train with your own bodyweight only. It started off as a PDF-focused product back in 2013 and has grown into a flourishing Web and Mobile product. Choosing a tech stack is a commitment that’s not easily reversed, so future circumstances like scalability and performance should be considered. It’s also important to avoid compromising on user experience because there’s nothing more vital to an app than looking great and working smoothly. Despite being a tech company, we treat user experience as not just a part of design, but as an integral part of our product strategy.
Various technical factors have influenced our selection criteria for frameworks and libraries at different phases of the product’s development. We have had our fair share of experiments and setbacks, but we’ve always learnt from our mistakes and evolved our stack along with the product.
The information about our Android stack shared below is what we have right now, but we strongly believe in the words of Heraclitus, “change is the only constant in life.” The best is yet to be!
Java, SDK, Gradle and Support Library
For our Bodyweight app, we shifted to Java 8 last year but only use the bits of Java 8 supported by our minSdk, which doesn’t include everything. The rest of the apps will be moved in near future.
We try our best to stay current with the very latest versions of the Android SDK (currently 25.0.2), Gradle (currently 2.3.1), and Support libraries (currently 25.1.1). We strongly recommend that you always compile with the latest Android SDK. You’ll get all the benefits of new compilation checks on existing code, avoid newly deprecated APIs, and be ready to use new APIs. Furthermore, if you use the Support Library, compiling with the latest SDK is a requirement for using the latest Support Library release. Similarly, for Gradle, staying up to date is important. The Gradle update page says, “For the best performance, you should use the latest possible version of both Gradle and the Android plugin.” Hence it makes sense to update as soon there’s a new version.
Third Party Libs
This section outlines major third-party libraries for Android we already use in our projects. Each has different purpose and goal but all of them make our lives as developers much more pleasant.
Here are some key considerations to keep in mind while deciding which third-party library to use:
How famous is this library? Is there a big enough community to keep it going? How many stars does it have on its github repo?
How long has this library been around? What’s the current version number?
Does the project has a commercial-friendly license?
Does the repo have trustworthy and dedicated maintainers? is it a battle-tested library that won’t disappear overnight?
Does the community seem to be struggling with this library’s implementation? Does someone in your network have experience with this library?
If you are interested in exploring other important libraries, please check out these resources (1, 2 and 3.) We hope they are helpful.
General
Name Description Guava Guava is a set of core libraries for Java from Google Arrow Arrow is Lightweight library toolbox for Java and Android Development Ixjava Iterable Extensions for Java, the dual of RxJava. Originally implemented in the Reactive4Java framework, now converted to work with RxJava Dagger2 A fast dependency injector for Android and Java Device Year Class A library that analyzes an Android device’s specifications and calculates which year the device would be considered “high end”
We currently have Guava along with Arrow and Ixjava but this will change soon as we are already in process of replacing Guava with Ixjava and Arrow . Guava is being slowly replaced by other libraries, specially since Java 8’s Stream API was introduced. IxJava has functional programming style which is very similar to RxJava and something we already use. Additionally, Guava is a monolith library and gives more reasons to use Arrow which is like a compact version of Guava .
Debugging
Name Description Timber A logger with a small, extensible API which provides utility on top of Android’s normal Log class DebugOverlay A tiny window overlay to log app internal on top of your android app LeakCanary A memory leak detection library for Android and Java Process Phoenix Process Phoenix facilitates restarting your application process Screengrab Automated localized screenshots of your Android app on every device Stetho Stetho is a debug bridge for Android applications, enabling the powerful Chrome Developer Tools and much more ACRA Library enabling Android Application to automatically post their crash reports to a report server
Code Generation / Reducing Boilerplate code
Name Description AutoValue AutoValue is a great tool for eliminating the drudgery of writing mundane value classes in Java Butter Knife Field and method binding for Android views DeepLinkDispatch A simple, annotation-based library for making deep link handling better on Android
Reactive
Name Description RxJava Reactive Extensions for the JVM – a library for composing asynchronous and event-based programs using observable sequences for the Java VM RxAndroid Android specific bindings for RxJava 2. This module adds the minimum classes to RxJava that make writing reactive components in Android applications easy and hassle-free RxBinding RxJava binding APIs for Android UI widgets from the platform and support libraries RxRelay Relays are RxJava types which are both an Observable and a Consumer RxLifecycle Lifecycle handling APIs for Android apps using RxJava
Images Loading & Caching
Name Description Picasso A powerful image downloading and caching library for Android
JSON Serialization/Deserialization
Name Description Gson A Java serialization/deserialization library to convert Java Objects into JSON and back
Custom Views and Animations
Name Description RecyclerView Animators An Android Animation library which easily add itemanimator to RecyclerView items SmoothProgressBar A small Android library allowing you to have a smooth and customizable horizontal indeterminate ProgressBar CWAC MergeAdapter Provides the MergeAdapter, a ListAdapter that blends multiple Views or ListAdapters into a single ListAdapter. Use this for section headings, blending multiple sources of data together, etc. PhotoView Implementation of ImageView for Android that supports zooming, by various touch gestures Rebound A Java library that models spring dynamics and adds real world physics to your app ShortcutBadger The ShortcutBadger makes your Android App show the count of unread messages as a badge on your App shortcut! StickyListHeaders An Android library that makes it easy to integrate section headers in your ListView Android Tooltip Create Toast like tooltips, physical targets can be specified, or even points on screen ViewPagerIndicator Paging indicator widgets compatible with the ViewPager from the Android Support Library and ActionBarSherlock Recycler Bubble Provides fast scroll and section idexer for recycler view
Storage
Name Description Esperando Easy SharedPreference Engine for Android OrmLite Lightweight Java ORM Supports Android and SQLite SQLDelight Generates Java models from CREATE TABLE statements
OrmLite is used in one application and SQLDelight in another newer one.
Network
Name Description OkHttp An HTTP & HTTP/2 client for Android and Java applications Okio Okio is a library that complements java.io and java.nio to make it much easier to access, store, and process your data Retrofit A type-safe HTTP client for Android and Java. It uses annotation to describe HTTP server calls which is an elegant solution for managing REST API calls in an android application.
Testing
Name Description AssertJ Core AssertJ core is a Java library that provides a fluent interface for writing assertions. Its main goal is to improve test code readability and make maintenance of tests easier DaggerMock A JUnit rule to easily override Dagger 2 objects DeviceAnimationTestRule A JUnit rule to disable and enable device animations Espresso Espresso is a UI test framework (part of the Android Testing Support Library) that allows you to create automated UI tests for your Android app Mockito Mockito is a mocking framework that lets you write beautiful tests with a clean & simple API Robolectric Robolectric is a unit test framework that de-fangs the Android SDK jar so you can test-drive the development of your Android app. Spoon Distributing instrumentation tests to all your Androids
We are using DaggerMock but we are moving away from this because it adds complexity and most recent Dagger versions allow us to do what we are trying to achieve with DaggerMock .
Again, thank you! 👏 | positive |

It's official: Donald Trump is taking a break from going on TV to fire people with his children in order to run for president.
As Andrew Prokop notes, the Trump campaign will likely compete with the likes of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for the ultra-conservative Republican base; after all, Trump's most notable contribution to national politics to date was pushing birther conspiracy theories so persistently that President Obama was forced to release his long-form birth certificate just to shut him up.
But the first time Trump seriously flirted with a presidential run, he sang a markedly different tune. In 1999 and 2000, he considered a bid for the nomination of Ross Perot's Reform Party, which was at the height of its influence after Jesse Ventura won the Minnesota governorship in 1998 as a Reform candidate. Trump's big idea was a one-time wealth tax of 14.25 percent on all individuals and trusts with a net worth in excess of $10 million. The proceeds would be used to wipe out the national debt, with the savings in interest payments going to shore up Social Security and pay for middle-class tax cuts.
This is a totally insane idea for a whole variety of reasons, many of which Bruce Bartlett ran through in the Wall Street Journal at the time. The tax wouldn't raise nearly as much as Trump thought it would, it'd encourage massive evasion (millionaires would move money around until they were worth $9.99 million and ineligible for the tax), and it'd force huge sell-offs of stock and other assets, leading to, as Bartlett writes, the "liquidation of thousands of businesses." Also eliminating the national debt just isn't that important, especially when (as in 1999) the government is running surpluses.
Interestingly, the closest thing to this that I've seen anyone other than Trump propose comes from noted socialist economist Thomas Piketty, in his bestseller Capital in the 21st Century:
This isn't directly comparable, since Piketty is suggesting this as an option if you insist on wiping out the national debt. He wasn't proposing it outright like Trump did. But it's still a startling similarity.
Piketty's much more notable proposal in his book is an annual global wealth tax with progressive rates ranging from 0.1 percent to 2 percent. Similarly, Edward Wolff, an NYU economist and the most vocal champion of a wealth tax in the US, proposed a plan in 1996 involving rates ranging from 0.05 percent to 0.3 percent. To the best of my knowledge, the highest existing wealth tax rate is Spain's top rate of 2.5 percent.
And among actual American politicians, even Bernie Sanders hasn't proposed a wealth tax like this; he's endorsed a big increase in the estate tax, and billed it as a "wealth tax," but it wouldn't be levied on the net worth of the living, like Piketty, Wolff, or Trump's proposed taxes would be.
The wealth tax isn't the only left-wing proposal Trump has flirted with over the years, either. He also used to be a fan of Canadian-style single-payer health care. Dave Weigel explains:
"We must have universal healthcare," wrote Trump. "I'm a conservative on most issues but a liberal on this one. We should not hear so many stories of families ruined by healthcare expenses." The goal of health care reform, wrote Trump, should be a system that looks a lot like Canada. "Doctors might be paid less than they are now, as is the case in Canada, but they would be able to treat more patients because of the reduction in their paperwork," he writes.
As far as I can tell, Trump has not mentioned his wealth tax plan again in the intervening 15 years. (Indeed, as of 2011 he was a vocal fan of making George W. Bush's tax cuts permanent.) But you can expect to hear a lot from his Republican rivals about how he'd tax success even more than Bernie Sanders. | positive |

Tips：Please measure your furniture size before purchase. How to use it better? Because the furniture does not happen to be a flat plane, so the low points of cover will collect water and debris. It will shorten the lifetime of cover when times going. We suggest you put a wooden stick or round thing to raise up the cover so that the water and debris can be flow down through the line. The raised part also can provide airflow between cover and furniture. Helps the furniture cover and furniture remain dry.

Writing in the Washington Post, James Palmer lashes the pundits who use China's successes as a counterexample to everything going wrong in America but never quite seem to notice everything that's going wrong in China:
For Chinese residents, daily life is a constant reminder of both how far the country has come and how far it has to go. One morning recently I went to the coffee shop at the end of my central Beijing alley for a superb latte, where the owner teasingly chastised me, as he has before, for paying with cash like some peasant rather than with my mobile phone through the WeChat Wallet service. That evening, I came home to one of our small compound's regular power failures, and I wrote this in the dark on a laptop battery and a neighboring building's thankfully unshielded WiFi signal. In heavy rain, our alley becomes a swimming pool, and even newly built Beijing streets disappear under a foot of water because the drainage is so bad; in storms in 2012, people drowned in cars stuck under bridges. China's mega-projects are often awesome, but they're also often costly and corrupt. The more than 10,000 miles of recently built high-speed rail came in well over the original $300 billion budget, and all but a few lines run at a loss. The process of creating them was so crooked that the Ministry of Railways ended up broken into three parts and most of the top officials ended up in jail. It's understandable why visitors, especially those who don't stray beyond the metropolises, might be overwhelmed. What's not forgivable is how rarely pundits try to look further, content with an initial vision of glittering skyscrapers and swish airports that can be conveniently shoehorned into whatever case they're trying to make.
When I went to China in 2010, I carried the typical assumptions of contemporary Washington political punditry: China is a rising colossus with awesome infrastructure, ruthlessly efficient government, and a tremendous future.
But after spending some time there, and talking to a lot of people who really knew China, my confidence in the country's prospects dimmed considerably. China's success in recent decades has been one of the great growth stories in human history, but the country is beset by economic mismanagement, political corruption, environmental devastation, rural-urban tensions, pockets of hardcore nationalism, and much more. China's continued rise isn't inevitable, or anything close to it. There's a lot that can go very wrong in the country, and sooner or later, something will.
That isn't to say China will collapse, or even that its growth will end. But I don't think we know what happens when the 8 percent (or more!) growth that's been the norm gives way, for an extended period of time, to 2 percent growth — or worse. I don't think we know how Chinese society will react. I don't think we know what the Chinese government will do to try to get growth moving again, and what the long-term consequences will be. (Arguably, China's already got a lot of economic time bombs from past government efforts to goose growth.) And I don't think we know how the political system will fare if an extended period of slow growth leads to real, widespread dissatisfaction with the ruling class.
Which is all to say, read Palmer's whole essay on China. It's the sanest thing I've read on America's view toward the country in a long time. | positive |
Blaine Alan Gibson flies as often as the average person goes to the grocery store.
And up among the clouds at cruising altitude, his favorite thing to do is track the flight’s real-time progress on the monitor in the headrest in front of him. Occasionally, on really long trips he’ll watch a movie. More often than not, though, he’s drawn to that little pixelated plane that traces his path from here to there.
The screen was awash in blue one day in May 2015 as Gibson sat buckled into his coach seat. (It’s almost always coach.) He was traveling west from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to the Maldives, a curl of islands in the northern Indian Ocean too minuscule to register on the digital map in front of him. After roughly five hours in the air, he would land in the capital city of Malé and from there take two different speedboats south to an atoll with a population of just 2,500.
Once there, accompanied by the owner of the $40-a-night inn where he was staying, Gibson knocked on the door of homes made in part from harvested coral, asking residents if they’d seen anything strange in the sky in March 2014. The women, dressed in traditional Muslim garments, shied away from the inquisitive but polite white man in his late 50s who wore khaki cargo pants and a black T-shirt bearing the directive “Search On.”
The men, though, were more forthcoming. One, a court reporter named Abdu, confirmed what Gibson had heard from a handful of news outlets the year prior: On the morning of March 8, 2014, the island was buzzed by a commercial jet significantly larger than the prop jobs and seaplanes these islanders were accustomed to seeing. It flew so low, in fact, Abdu and the other witnesses said they could see the outline of the cabin door.
A couple days later Gibson boarded a seaplane back to Malé. On the ascent, he looked out of his window at the quickly shrinking island and reflected on the intel he’d gathered. If what these people told him was true—and to his mind they were credible witnesses who had no reason to lie—their accounts could be the key to solving one of the greatest aviation mysteries of the last century. Yet as far as he knew, he was one of only a few people to actually come out to the middle of the ocean and hear their story firsthand. Why?
To talk to Gibson, you first have to find him. At 9am on May 7, 2016, he was in Bangkok, Thailand, staying at a hotel with no Internet and a questionable phone connection. “If we lose each other,” he said through static, “just call me back.”
It was a Saturday. He didn’t know that, though, because ever since he untethered himself from nine-to-five life in the late 1980s, back when he was working and living full time in and around Seattle, days of the week have become virtually meaningless. Time zones are tricky too. Lately Gibson’s been fielding interview requests from reporters throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia, so to coordinate with them he has to add eight hours here, subtract 14 there, depending on where he happens to be at the time.
Over the last year Gibson has become the most visible member of a loose collective of amateur investigators scouring the globe for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which disappeared under mysterious circumstances more than two years ago. His face, tan and weathered and framed by a pageboy haircut, has repeatedly appeared on TV and in blogs and newspapers.
Which is ironic, because for the most part he prefers to keep his movements secret. That morning in May, Gibson was just days away from leaving Thailand on a fact-finding mission, the details of which he wouldn’t reveal. “I’m trying to talk to some people,” was all he would say. “It’s sort of a sensitive time.” He’s convinced that someone—terrorists, government officials or their proxies, others amateur sleuths—would prefer he make like Malaysia 370 and just disappear.
Honestly he was close to doing just that earlier this year. But then, unlike anyone engaged in the search—officially or unofficially—he actually found a piece of the plane. “I’d spent so much time looking and found nothing at all,” he says. “It was almost like winning the lottery.”
That last part is debatable. After spending more than a year and who knows how much money looking for the plane, his discovery wasn’t just a product of chance. And it’s most definitely not, he insists, the product of an obsession, as some have suggested. “I’d call it a mission,” he says. “I’d call it a quest.”
Gibson spent much of spring 2014 in Carmel, California, surrounded by cardboard. A condominium in Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood is home when he’s in the United States—which happens less and less frequently these days—but that spring he was preparing to sell the house in which he’d grown up. The 2,500-square-foot rambler had sat mostly vacant for the nearly eight years since his mother died, and the burden of maintaining it had finally overtaken the nostalgia of holding on to it.
It was monotonous and emotional work, sorting through more than four decades of his parents’ belongings and condensing their lives into progressively smaller piles. Gibson was an only child, so there was no one there to debate what to keep and what to throw away. But there wasn’t anyone to reminisce with either.
His constant companion as he sat wrapping candlesticks and stuffing pictures in boxes was the television, specifically 24-hour news. That March the voices of Wolf Blitzer and Ashleigh Banfield and Don Lemon echoed through the steadily emptying halls of the Gibson home on Segunda Drive, and the only thing they seemed to want to talk about was a story as horrifying as it was fascinating.
A random dude from Seattle spending gobs of his time and money looking for a plane to which he had no real connection? It was…strange.
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 took off from Kuala Lumpur at 12:42am local time on March 8, traveling northeast to Beijing. At 1:19, 37 minutes into what should have been a five-hour and 34-minute flight, the Boeing 777’s captain talked to Malaysian air traffic controllers for the last time, acknowledging that he would next be guided by a tower in Vietnam. The plane was over the Gulf of Thailand, east of the Malay Peninsula.
Then nothing. No communication. No sightings. And, initially, no satellite data to suggest where the plane might have gone. It just disappeared—along with its 227 passengers and 12 crew members.
Gibson had traveled regularly to Laos since 2005 and, once he finished with the home in Carmel, planned to help some friends open a new restaurant and bar on the Mekong River, near the Thailand border. He had acquaintances throughout Southeast Asia, had immersed himself in the culture, and could speak six languages, including some Lao. Flight 370’s origin made its disappearance that much more intriguing to him, and he couldn’t stop thinking about what happened to all of those people onboard.
The information that trickled out over the following weeks, though? That’s what really stuck with Gibson. Within days of the disappearance, Malaysian military officials reported—then denied reporting, then admitted—that, in fact, their satellites had detected the plane at 2:40am, almost 90 minutes after the country’s civil air traffic control lost contact with the crew. Stranger still, at that point Flight 370 was west of the Malay Peninsula, traveling in the opposite direction of its intended flight path.
Cables news’ endless loop of a handful of facts, followed by armchair analysis, followed by toothless debate, followed by the same handful of facts could make even the smallest new detail seem like the clue that would lead to a discovery. This development, though, carried with it a hint of—if not outright malfeasance—incompetence at the highest levels of Malaysian government. Helicopters and boats had been searching for wreckage and passengers for more than 48 hours. And they’d been doing it in the wrong place.
How, Gibson wondered, could that be allowed to happen? Not only had survivors—if there were any—lost precious time while the authorities got their stories straight, but their families were left floating too, emotionally unmoored by contradictory reports. The injustice of it stuck like a bad song in the back of Gibson’s brain, at times making it hard to concentrate on anything else and at others retreating just long enough to fool him into thinking he could forget about it.
Gibson was just starting grade school when his father, Phil, retired after more than two decades as the chief justice of the Supreme Court of California. But the elder Gibson’s career remained a presence all its own in the home on Segunda Drive as Blaine grew up, kept alive by Phil’s stories from his time on the bench.
Papa, as Blaine knew him, spoke proudly of publicly denouncing the Japanese internment camps set up in California by the federal government during World War II. As Blaine doodled on copies of old court documents, Phil told the story of the time in 1948 when his court struck down a state law that prohibited racially mixed marriages. And then in 1952 there was the case of Sei Fujii, who, like other Japanese immigrants, had been barred from purchasing land by the 40-year-old California Alien Land Law. Fujii’s suit traveled all the way to Gibson’s court, where the chief justice cast the deciding vote in Fujii’s favor, invalidating the law.
Maybe it was being surrounded by the boxed-up memories of his father in the near-empty house. Maybe he just needed an adventure. But as Blaine watched news correspondents and government officials and aviation experts fumble around, trying to explain how a 210-foot plane carrying 239 people could just vanish, he wondered if he couldn’t help in some small way. The families deserved it.
It would be a while before Gibson could turn his full attention to the search. He still had the house to sell and the bar to get up and running. But maybe once all of that was out of the way, he’d start poking around—assuming the plane hadn’t been found by then.
The southern Indian Ocean was relatively calm in early March 2015, with swells of just three to six feet. The Fugro Discovery, a 230-foot surveying vessel with a crew of two dozen, cut through those swells with little difficulty, dragging a canary yellow, torpedo-shaped device more than a mile beneath the surface. That unmanned towfish emitted sonar pulses that mapped the Indian Ocean floor in minute detail. The search for Malaysia 370 had long since shifted into recovery mode, and if the plane was down there, the Discovery—or one of the three other ships currently scouring this rocky, unpredictable underwater terrain—would find it.
Nearly 2,500 miles north, in Kuala Lumpur, Gibson stood among more than 100 people who had gathered at a public ceremony to recognize the one-year anniversary of the plane’s disappearance. The crowd held white balloons and listened to Grace Subathirai Nathan, the daughter of one of the missing passengers, who told the crowd that although she wasn’t yet willing to accept that her mother was dead, not knowing what had happened was tearing her apart. “Every day is like a living nightmare,” Nathan said, her voice wavering. “It is so important that we have some form of closure.”
One year. At the end of the ceremony, Gibson watched the attendees release their balloons and his stomach turned. He couldn’t stop thinking about the torture these people had endured while waiting so long without any news of their family members’ whereabouts. Those first few weeks were bad enough, as the Malaysian government stalled, withheld, and obfuscated. But the subsequent 12-month search was particularly galling. Not because it hadn’t turned up a thing but because, as far as he was concerned, the endeavor was based exclusively on one piece of evidence.

The current search area was settled upon in summer 2014 by a multinational partnership that relied upon the best guesses of aviation engineers and mathematicians. Although Flight 370 had fallen off of radar two hours after takeoff, it had continued to periodically ping a satellite owned by the British telecommunications company Inmarsat. These seven pings didn’t reveal the exact location of the plane, but they could be used to calculate how far it was from the satellite at the time. When the data was plotted on a map, it created a series of rings along which the plane was likely to have been at the time of each transmission.
Flight 370 successfully pinged Inmarsat’s satellite for the final time at 8:19am Malaysia time on March 8, meaning that it could have still been in the air seven and a half hours after takeoff. Based on a handful of other variables—wind speeds, available fuel, the typical Boeing 777’s fuel efficiency—investigators narrowed down where on the seventh ring they thought the plane was at the time of that last transmission.
“Narrowed down” was a relative concept: The search teams would now focus on a 46,000-square-mile arc of the Indian Ocean off the western coast of Australia. By comparison, the recovery effort for Air France Flight 447, which went missing under similarly strange circumstances in June 2009, zeroed in on a 40-square-mile area of the Atlantic Ocean. And two years passed before what was left of the plane and its passengers was found.
By the one-year anniversary of Flight 370’s disappearance, the underwater recovery effort—officially launched by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau in October 2014—had mapped 11,500 square miles without finding a single piece of debris. (The small fleet of vessels contracted by the ATSB would, however, find a centuries-old shipwreck in May 2015.)
Gibson wasn’t the least bit surprised. Disappointed on behalf of those still waiting for answers, but not surprised. After selling his parents’ home in Carmel—for the tidy sum of $1.18 million—he’d devoted most of his time and attention to the bar and restaurant in Laos, which was finally set to open later in spring 2015. When he wasn’t working on that, though, he researched Malaysia 370.
He watched the news, but without any significant developments after the first month, the 24-hour networks were devoting less and less time to speculation and conjecture. So he plunged into the Internet, studying what he could find on Inmarsat’s technology and the flight capabilities of a Boeing 777. He absorbed the analysis that other, more technically savvy, amateur investigators had conducted while puzzling over the missing plane. And finally, he joined a Facebook group, MH370 In Search of the Truth, where he could debate and share information with people who knew what they were looking for but not always why. Each morning he and the other members would log in and find a simple post reminding them how many days it had been since Flight 370 disappeared, followed by one word: hope.
This unofficial dossier on the missing plane—spread out over the digital transom in the minds of hundreds, maybe thousands, who answered to no one but themselves—was fascinating if not a little wonky. But the one lead that kept gnawing at him was the one that couldn’t be proved or disproved with an equation.
Less than two weeks after Flight 370 went missing, residents of the Maldivian island Kudahuvadhoo told a Malaysian newspaper that they’d seen a low-flying passenger jet just after 6am on March 8, 2014. A few could even make out two horizontal stripes—one red, the other blue—that ran the length of the fuselage. Malaysia Airlines planes have a red and blue stripe. And although the Inmarsat data wouldn’t surface publicly for another couple weeks after the Maldives report, the first time the satellite pinged the plane and didn’t get a response was at 9:15am in Malaysia—or 6:15 Kudahuvadhoo time. In other words, technically, up until just before that unsuccessful ping the plane could have still been airborne and—again, technically—the witnesses could have seen it when they said they saw it. The timeline didn’t leave much room for error, but then that could also explain why the plane was low enough for them to see the door: Maybe it was already on its way down.
Yet Malaysian officials disregarded the sighting almost immediately, without speaking to the witnesses. The plane didn’t have enough fuel to fly that far, they said. And besides, they were confident, though they had no radar report to confirm it, that the plane had ultimately headed south before disappearing. Gibson was dumbfounded. How could any responsible investigator refuse to follow up even the shakiest of leads when the stakes were so high?
As for this Inmarsat data that investigators were so sure proved Malaysia 370 went down near Australia? Gibson didn’t buy it, at least not entirely. If the calculations were off by even a little, the Fugro Discovery and other ships could be thousands of miles off course. He couldn’t say with any certainty that the search area was wrong, but he couldn’t say with any certainty that it was right, either. He needed more evidence.
So in early 2015, Blaine Gibson decided two things: First, he had just as good a chance of uncovering what happened to that plane as anyone else. And second, he had to start his search in Kudahuvadhoo.
As Gibson discovered when he joined the Facebook group MH370 In Search of the Truth, he was hardly the only private citizen caught in the story’s gravity. There were those who had family or friends on Flight 370. Others, like Sheryl Keen, of Perth, Australia, had lost someone in a crash as well and sympathized. Jeff Wise, a pilot and writer from New York, was pulled in almost accidentally: CNN producers found a piece he’d written for Slate about the disappearance and invited him to join the network’s stable of on-air aviation experts.
And then there was Gibson, who lived everywhere and nowhere at once and was motivated by the sense of justice to which he was born.
Whether or not those amateur sleuths are conscious of it, there are a couple other things that make Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 so captivating. For starters, consider the WTF factor, as in where the fuck…? The near complete lack of hard data related to Malaysia 370’s final hours made its disappearance unprecedented. Even Air France Flight 447 offered some clues as to where it went down. So as the weeks and months passed without any new evidence, the mystery only deepened, making the impossible seem—if not plausible—possible.
From there, the conspiracy-minded among us started connecting dots based on what little information there was. And for some, the less information available, the better. “It’s not evidence that drives belief,” says Joseph Uscinski, an associate professor of political science at the University of Miami and the coauthor of American Conspiracy Theories. “It’s evidence combined with a worldview. And sometimes that worldview overtakes the power of the evidence.” In the case of Malaysia 370, those world views informed conclusions that ran from wild to really wild: One or both of the pilots were suicidal. Russian hijackers, working on orders from Putin himself, absconded with the plane and buried it in a remote corner of Kazakhstan. (That was Jeff Wise’s theory, which he later spun into an ebook.) CNN’s Don Lemon wondered aloud if the plane had been sucked into a black hole. “People blame the villain they already hate,” says Uscinski.
There’s something else fueling the Malaysia 370 fascination, though: the idea that, at least on a cosmic level, we live in a just world. “We generally think things don’t happen without a cause,” says Nadya Vasilyeva, a professor of psychology at the University of California, Berkeley. “So when you have this very bad, very rare event and can’t identify a cause, it becomes contradictory to our perception of the world. It’s disturbing.”
In other words, scale matters. We’re willing to blow off life’s minor hiccups with a These things happen, but something as extreme as a plane crash—or worse, a plane disappearance—requires an explanation. And not just a simple one, Vasilyeva explains. “We want to find something that is proportional to the event.” We need to believe that fate isn’t so fickle.
But while others were developing hypotheses and looking for evidence to back them up—confirmation bias, in psychological terms—Gibson has been working in the other direction. He is, he repeatedly insists, just gathering facts that he hopes will one day coalesce to provide a narrative of what happened.
That dispassionate adherence to the scientific method is one of the things that Peter Davenport admires so much about Gibson. Davenport is the longtime director of the National UFO Reporting Center, based in Eastern Washington. He and Gibson have been friends for two decades, meeting when they can to discuss politics, social trends, and some of history’s biggest mysteries. “Sometimes serious-minded investigation—like a rabbit warren—leads you in many, many different directions,” Davenport says. “And in order to get to the end of that pursuit, a person has to be prepared to navigate that rabbit warren. Blaine is one of those people.”
Sheryl Keen didn’t know quite what to make of Gibson when he came to visit her in Perth in August 2015. She’d met him through the Flight 370 Facebook group and been impressed enough by his dedication to invite him to Australia and help him in his search. No one else she knew was actually traveling the world to do real, boots-on-the-ground research. He’d written up a 3,400-word report on his trip to the Maldives—one of several he’d produce through his search—and shared it with the group and other sites. Keen read every word and came away from it convinced that if nothing else, solving the mystery was much more than just a hobby for him.
Still, though, a random dude from Seattle spending gobs of his time and money looking for a plane to which he had no real connection? It was…strange. “He’s either a total whack job or he’s quite sane,” Keen says now, laughing.
Just weeks before Gibson arrived in Australia, a man collecting rocks on the eastern shore of La Reunion, an island 440 miles east of Madagascar, in the French Indian Ocean, found what appeared to be a six-foot piece of an airplane wing, covered in barnacles. Although it would take a little more than a month for French officials to confirm that the flaperon did, in fact, come from Malaysia 370, its discovery brought new life to Gibson’s search.
His trip to Australia would be a busy one. Though the Kudahuvadhoo sighting still weighed heavily on him, he hadn’t yet ruled out the possibility that debris could wash up just about anywhere. So for 10 days, Keen drove him up and down the country’s west coast, where the pair combed rocky beaches looking for debris. They didn’t find anything of significance; there was an empty drink bottle inscribed with what might have been Malay writing, but locals informed the pair that they’d found it in a popular fishing spot for Malaysian anglers.
Gibson’s time down under wasn’t a complete bust, though. He got some face time—brokered by the wife of a Flight 370 passenger whom he had befriended—with Australian deputy prime minister Warren Truss and members of the ATSB. And Keen pulled some strings and got him a meeting with Dr. Charitha Pattiaratchi, a professor of oceanography at Western Australia University who produced a drift model that predicted where the Indian Ocean currents could have carried debris from a downed airplane.
The animated lines on Pattiaratchi’s computer monitor, swirling and meandering from east to west across tens of thousands of miles of open water, didn’t necessarily prove that the plane the Maldivian witnesses claimed to have seen was Flight 370. But what they absolutely did was convince Gibson that he needed to get to the east coast of Africa.
When Gibson was just 12, he embarked on a two-month European vacation with his mother, Victoria. His father stayed home; Phil’s idea of having fun with Blaine was to sign him out of school and go see Sandy Koufax and the Dodgers take on Juan Marichal and the Giants at Candlestick Park.
The itinerary for Blaine and his mother’s excursion included the usual suspects, like France, Italy, and Switzerland. But it was what came after that made the trip special. The pair boarded a cruise ship on the coast of the former Yugoslavia and toured the Mediterranean, stopping first in Greece and then moving on to Turkey. Greece’s music and culture excited Blaine, but, strangely, it was the country’s political unrest that he found really enthralling. Two years earlier a handful of rogue army generals had overthrown the government, and the idea of a military dictatorship was so foreign—and yet fascinating—that it planted in him a desire to see the rest of the world and understand how it worked.
At the University of Oregon, he studied political science and gravitated to the international students. One of his closest friends was Shabbir Karim, a Pakistani emigre with whom he shared several classes. They both moved to Seattle after graduation—Gibson got a job at Seafirst Bank, Karim bounced around the hospitality industry—and shared an apartment.
Anyone who’s ever had a roommate has a story of walking in on them in a compromising position, but Karim’s is unique. He came home from work late one night and heard music pounding from inside the apartment. After turning the key, he slowly peeked around the door and saw Peter O’Toole on TV, racing across the desert on horseback in Lawrence of Arabia. It wasn’t the movie that stopped Karim cold, though. It was Gibson.
Months earlier Karim had flown home to visit his family in Pakistan, and before he left Gibson asked him to bring back a dishdasha, the traditional white, long-sleeve, ankle-length tunic worn by Muslim men. He wouldn’t explain why he wanted it, but now Karim understood. As Gibson stared at the flickering TV, he was wearing the dishdasha, complete with a keffiyeh. “I mean if there was an earthquake, it could not shake him,” Karim says now. “He was just riveted.”

For the next 25 years, Gibson lived a life that could be described as unconventionally adventurous. After a short stint at Seafirst, he moved to Olympia and worked for three years in the office of Washington state senator Ray Moore. Then he joined the U.S. Department of State. But he didn’t last long there either; in the late ’80s he could see that the Soviet Union was on the verge of collapse and decided to capitalize on it. For 10 years he lived off and on in the newly capitalist Russia, serving as a consultant to new business owners and fattening a bank account that would later fund his globe-trotting.
In his downtime he spent months-long stretches in Central America looking for what had led to the sudden collapse of the Mayan civilization. Or he’d travel to Ethiopia and follow clues he hoped would lead to the lost Ark of the Covenant. Vacations included trips to Afghanistan, where he chatted up rebels and posed for pictures while holding their AK-47s.
“Blaine leads a life as close to that of T. E. Lawrence as anyone I know from my generation,” says Peter Davenport. He doesn’t even pause when reminded that some people—particularly the media—compare Gibson to Indiana Jones. “That’s probably a better one.”
In the movies, adventurers are usually searching for the MacGuffin, an object—sometimes mysterious, always coveted—that drives both their quest and the story’s narrative. Gibson found his in late February 2016.
He was in Mozambique, technically on vacation. Ever since that European trip with his mom, he’d set a goal to visit every country at least once; now he could check his 177th off the list. But because he couldn’t help himself, early on the morning of February 27 he chartered a small boat and asked the captain to take him to where he thought ocean debris was most likely to wash up.
Two miles from a horn of land that pokes out of the country’s central coast, they came to a short sandbar that, thanks to the tides, was only accessible for a short time each day. And that’s where Gibson found his first piece of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
Blaine will find the answers before the government. Yeah, my money’s on Blaine.
Light gray and shaped like a dorsal fin, the hunk of fiberglass was just lying there in the sand, like a seal that had come ashore briefly to sun itself. Had Gibson arrived an hour later, it might have already slipped back out to sea. The words “No Step” were stenciled in black along one jagged edge. It bore no other markings that could directly tie it to the plane—the flaperon, for example, was stamped with an easily identifiable registration number, 9M-MRO—so he’d have to wait for someone from Boeing or Malaysia Airlines to determine its provenance. For now, though, he’d settle for the shot of adrenaline that came with possibly finding what he’d been hunting for nearly a year. He held up No Step—the nickname he’d later give the piece—while the charter boat’s captain took several pictures. His expression is not unlike the one he wore when he posed with the Afghans’ AK-47s: a grin that’s trying valiantly, but failing, to remain a stoic straight line.
Less than a week later, those pictures had traveled around the globe with an AP story that identified Gibson as a Seattleite, adventurer, blogger, and lawyer. (Technically just the first two are true. His only public writing on Flight 370 was the report on his Maldives trip. And though he passed the bar in 1992, he’s never practiced law.) To the world he’d become an overnight mini celebrity. To those who’d been following his progress over the previous year, it was confirmation of what they already knew.
Among amateur investigators, credibility isn’t a product of connections but of independence. Trust isn’t earned with bona fides but with results. So to people like Sheryl Keen, yeah, it was hardly a shock that Gibson was the first person actively searching for Flight 370 to find a piece of it. While the governments of Malaysia and Australia were coordinating their search efforts—two hulking bureaucratic ships incapable of making quick adjustments—he could go anywhere, look under any rock, without having to ask permission. He had comparatively limited resources, but he could use them freely, without justifying each expense.
“Blaine will find the answers before the government,” Keen says without hesitation. “Yeah, my money’s on Blaine.”
Other independent discoveries followed in short order. A teenager in South Africa, who wasn’t aware of Flight 370 until Gibson popped up on the news, came forward with a piece of debris he’d found the previous December. Then an archaeologist, also in South Africa, stumbled upon a notebook-size chunk of an engine. As of June 1, 2016, five pieces of confirmed wreckage had been recovered, all by everyday citizens. Gibson calls them—and himself—the Finders.
Officials said Gibson’s find “almost certainly” came from Flight 370. Image: Chine Nouvelle / SIPA / Newscom
On March 24, the ATSB announced that No Step “almost certainly” came from the missing Malaysia Airlines plane, but his friends had already been circling their digital wagons. “To whom it may concern,” wrote an administrator of MH 370 In Search of the Truth in a March 20 post. “Our number 1 priority is to protect Blaine Alan Gibson.” The closed group had been flooded with requests from potential new members in the previous weeks, and admins believed that many of them wanted to cast doubt on his find.
Elsewhere, the rabble accused Gibson of being either a central figure or unwitting pawn in a nefarious plot to cover up what had “really happened.” Jeff Wise, the CNN expert, was among the vocal doubters. He still believed strongly that Flight 370 (or at least its passengers) was hidden away somewhere in Kazakhstan or Russia. He interviewed a handful of experts, all of whom questioned whether the three most recent pieces showed enough evidence of biofouling—barnacles, algae, and other marine life—to have been at sea for two years. “There is only one reasonable conclusion to draw from the condition of these pieces,” he wrote on his blog in mid-April. “Since natural means could not have delivered them to the locations where they were discovered, they must have been put there deliberately. They were planted.”
By then Gibson was used to online abuse. After his report on the Maldives went live in July 2015, the site that hosted it, thehuntformh370.info, was hit with a denial-of-service attack that crippled it for days. Then, he says, Twitter lit up with assaults of a much more personal nature. He won’t go into specifics, though. “Once you repeat the slanderous accusations of a person or group of people who are making them,” he says, “you fuel the fire.” But he’s happy to take a stab at who was making them: any one of a number of parties who might be worried that he’s getting too close to the truth. (Or, you know, it’s the Internet and people just suck sometimes.) It was all enough to make him a little more cautious, to keep his movements a secret. That fact-finding mission he wouldn’t talk about in our first conversation? It was just a follow-up trip to reinterview the Maldivian witnesses.

As to Wise’s planting theory, Gibson won’t say much, other than that it’s “preposterous.” It’s an example, he says, of trying to make facts fit a theory rather than the other way around.
Instead of getting into who did what to whom and why, though, he’d prefer to focus on looking for the plane. Australia’s official search is set to end, even if it fails to uncover the wreckage, in August. Gibson hopes that if debris keeps washing ashore, it will force the ATSB or others to extend the investigation or even adjust where they’re looking. But he’s realistic. He knows how expensive an endeavor like this can be. “I hope that the search doesn’t end until they find the plane, but even if it does, there are some of us who are going to continue looking,” he says. “I’m going to go to Mauritius. A piece was just found there. Maybe I’ll be there in time to see it. And I’m going to go to Madagascar. I think that’s where stuff would most likely wash ashore.”
Gibson announced those travel plans in mid-May. In the first week of June he did, in fact, go to Madagascar. And on June 6 he led a French television news crew to a thin strip of land off the island’s east coast. They rode quads along the beach, and at the north end he signaled for the party to stop.
The camera crew had a good reason to follow him: He is, to this day, still the only person to find a piece of Flight 370 while actually looking for it. And he’d done enough research to have a good idea where he might find more. But come on, it was still a one-in-a-million find. There’s no way he’d actually uncover another.
Right?
With the cameras trained on him, Gibson dismounted and started walking. And as he got closer to the object that had caught his eye, he could see that it was gray fiberglass. It was almost a clone of No Step. Later, he found a handful of other pieces, one of which looked exactly like the housing for a seat-back TV monitor. He couldn’t be sure, but he had a pretty good idea they came from Flight 370. And if anybody should be able to make that leap, it’s the guy who has spent more than a year interviewing pilots and aviation engineers and studying plane schematics and fiberglass composites.
Gibson was, as you might imagine, difficult to get ahold of in the following days; those French reporters were keeping him busy, and he was communicating with authorities to make sure his find got where it needed to go. But via Facebook he did share pictures of the debris and managed to field a few questions. When asked how it felt—exciting? vindicating?—to have found more pieces of the plane, he replied with a one-word answer.
Yes. | positive |
Pade Approximant | Resourcium Skip to main content Toggle navigation Main navigation Home Explore Participate Sign Up/In Search Topic Pade Approximant In mathematics, a Padé approximant is the "best" approximation of a function by a rational function of given order. Under this technique, the approximant's power series agrees with the power series of the function it is approximating. The technique was developed around 1890 by Henri Padé, but goes back to Georg Frobenius, who introduced the idea and investigated the features of rational approximations of power series. The Padé approximant often gives better approximation of the function than truncating its Taylor series, and it may still work where the Taylor series does not converge. For these reasons Padé approximants are used extensively in computer calculations. They have also been used as auxiliary functions in Diophantine approximation and transcendental number theory, though for sharp results ad hoc methods— in some sense inspired by the Padé theory— typically replace them. Since Padé approximant is a rational function, an artificial singular point may occur as an approximation, but this can be avoided by Borel–Padé analysis. from Padé Approximant - Wikipedia This topic includes the following resources and journeys: Resources Journeys Sort Helpful New Search Filters Filters close Type Video (1) App (0) Article / Blog (0) Audio (0) Book (0) Cheat Sheet (0) Conference Paper (0) Course (0) Exam (0) Example (0) Hardware (0) (-) Image (0) Peer Reviewed Paper (0) Presentation (0) Project (0) Remote Lab (0) Social Media (0) Software (0) Source Code (0) Virtual Lab (0) Experience Advanced (0) Beginner (0) Intermediate (0) Scope Application (0) Demonstration (0) Evaluation (0) Theory (0) 0 items 1 items 2 Companion resources to "Why Padé Approximations are great! | Control Systems...

In September 2013, I visited the London-based set of Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy. (You can find out more about what we learned and watch a video blog reaction here.) While on set, we are able to talk with many of the key cast and crew and will be posting transcripts from those roundtable interviews all this week. You can read our on-set Zoe Saldana interview now after the jump.
For the makeup treatments, did you try various versions on yourself or did they get to the final design before you came on board?
Zoe Saldana: No, I think we had maybe seven or eight camera tests we had to do, when it came to all the characters and for mine specifically it was, “How alien do we want Gamora to look like?” And what I was thinking was, “She just needs to be pretty.” And that’s usually a thing that I don’t think about with other characters that I play but for some reason because I was going to be green and I was going to be the lead girl, I just wanted teenage boys to find me attractive. I don’t know why I was stressing this a lot but I really was when we were testing. That’s where I was coming from, everybody else was just like, “Contacts? Do we dye the hair? Wig no wig? What color hair? How long is it?” I’m like, “Pretty. Teenage boys, please. We gotta get their vote.”
You’ve done other properties, too, that also appeal to that demographic. It’s interesting that impulse would come up on this one.
Saldana: Maybe because I’m older and you kind of go, “Am I losing my sex appeal or something?” When you’re green for four months, it definitely moves you a bit. You do kind of wobble going, “Okay, what is beautiful?” And then you start to find your character really appealing, and very beautiful in how different she looks, because you get used to it.
Was there any hesitation for you, having done Avatar, which requires such a complete physical immersion, to then play another alien role?
Saldana: To me, it would be no different of a concern than Cate Blanchett, Keira Knightley need to have because they just do primarily period pieces. I just feel like, just because I’ve done a film that is considered amongst the masses that like to categorize things as science fiction, then so be it, I guess. As an artist, I like working with filmmakers that have the balls to kind of imagine the unimaginable. Those are kind of the radicals that I identify with and I grew up in a household where there was a lot of stories that were placed in unconventional places. I found the escape to be much more rewarding, at least for me. And then on the basis of being a woman, by playing an alien, I avoid playing someone’s girlfriend here on Earth because that’s a bit of a canker sore.
Chris [Pratt] said that he was told by James Gunn not to look back at the comics and to not do any research. Did you have the same experience with him or did you get a chance to look at some stuff?
Saldana: No, no. I didn’t do it for Star Trek. As actors we have this trait, to imitate very easily. I don’t want to imitate anything or limit myself of finding this creature, this woman because I’m looking at magazines and I’m reading comics, and I’m asking people that are avid readers of the Guardians. She only exists in paper up until now, so whatever I decide to do to give her kind of air—If I read the comics, I would be cheating myself out of the adventure that I find so beautiful, which is conceiving a character and doing all my research. That’s the part that belongs to me that I don’t really have to share. That’s the part that I remember the most about what I do and I like the most.
Does putting makeup on, and being fully green on set, change the way you perform, and move?
Saldana: It’s so funny. For this one, when it came to Gamora, it was very different. My approach was very different than the one I had with Neytiri. I understood that for Neytiri the dehumanization of myself was absolutely crucial because these creatures, the species came with very specific requirements by James [Cameron]. In this one because it’s sort of like a dark comedy, we’re kind of like The Rolling Stones of the whole Marvel comics that I find so fucking appealing, we’re like the ones who always fail in class but for some reason we can burn the house down, and I like that.
There was a sense of contemporariness that I didn’t want to tamper with and I liked it. So, I didn’t focus that much on making her a very distinguished alien. I feel like, you’re going to kind of lose a lot of other things and this movie runs really fast and it’s an action movie. And for the demographic that it’s geared more towards, if I get to intricate they’re gonna be like, “What? She’s kind of weird.” Part of doing this and aging, now that I’m 35, is that you do take all those things into consideration—not a great deal but you do kind of factor them in when you’re bringing a character together.
Gamora has a very interesting and detailed past and a lot of interesting personality traits. What was the most appealing thing to you when you signing on to play her? And what’s the most appealing thing now, looking back at the last four months of filming?
Saldana: My nephew’s 11, he’s the only person that I know that reads Guardians, everybody else I’ve met, they read comics but my nephew was the closest one. I would ask him on his little IM—so funny—and he asked me, “Who do you think Gamora is?” And I said, “She’s a warrior.” He goes, “Yeah. But not only is she a warrior, she’s an assassin and she’s very lethal but what saves her is the same thing that can doom her. She has a sense of righteousness. She’s a very righteous individual.” And that was coming from an 11-year-old boy. I was just like, “That’s it! That’s gonna be like the overall mojo of Gamora; her sense of always wanting to do the right thing. It’s why she compels, I guess, the Guardians to not sell the orb or she’s trying to ask them not to sell their souls for money. Because if it means that a lot of people will lose their lives then it’s not really worth it. She’s sort of the one who kind of starts going in that direction and then everybody else kind of follows. What I like the most about this movie is that we’re all starting like inmates, we’re all like lost kids. And by running away because we wanted to run away from the families that we were brought into, we end up creating a very beautiful family unit and becoming good, decent people sometimes.
We saw some of the weapons, which seemed pretty beautiful as well. In past films, you’re a good weapon wielder. What’s different and fun about the weapons in hand?
Saldana: This time around it was a sword. The sword’s heavy, my wrists are very thin, so I have this insecurity that I look wimpy with the sword. It’s so much better to have a gun. I’m more prepared, I’ve trained with SEALS, it’s fine. But the moment I’m with a knife, I’m just like, “Oh God! Take it, it’s too heavy! Moving on, roll sound.” But you rely on really good stunt people. I’m working with a woman, her name is Chloe, and she’s sort of the stealth Gamora and I’m the stealth-ish Gamora, and we’re definitely building a character that’s very good. For me, it’s very important if I do action movies and I have a stunt person, to work with them. Not only by memorizing the choreography but also it’s important to study that individual and it’s imperative for that individual to study you because you’re not playing two different people, you’re playing the same person. Also, in order for the actor’s wishes to be respected in terms of characteristics that your character’s gonna have, you have to work with good and intelligent and talented stunt people that not only can carry weapons well but can also carry a personality. For Gamora, I guess it’s so easy to just not invest in the action part of it and sort of not aide the stunt team to going, “You know, that’s great. She can jump, she can land, she can definitely fight with the sword.”
But instead of looking like Jackie Chan, why don’t we give her an air of Jet Li because it’s this form of wushu, which is his form of training. Jet Li is much more graceful than karate, which is what Jackie Chan has trained in. And I find that with women, you have to maintain some kind of grace, at least that’s my personal opinion. I was very adamant with Chloe and Steve and Thomas—the choreographers—to study the bullfighters. Because I kind of find it very seductive, the way a bullfighter can seduce a bull into surrendering to its own death without touching him at all. Just with the red, it’s a dance, it’s a very sensual dance that eventually the bull caves in, and basically runs towards this red thing and then there’s a sword meeting him behind it. He’s basically running to his own death. I thought that was very interesting for Gamora to have, she’s a woman, I’m pretty sure she knows how to use her charms to get what she needs. So, there might be a bullfighting kind of method into how she approaches an opponent.
Can you talk about Gamora’s relationships within the group, and her relationship with Drax and Star-Lord?
Saldana: She finds Quill interesting but he’s such a douche at first, he’s very immature and it’s inconceivable for her, I guess, to even have a wet dream with him in it. I think she’s intrigued by Groot, at least I am, there’s something about this—he’s such a human and he’s the most inhumane physically. A character out of all of us but he has this compassion that really—as I was reading the script, I worked with James [Gunn] in terms of, “How can we get them to kind of interact?” I know Gamora interacts very little with Groot or Rocket but there was something very interesting about Groot that what she needs is to soften herself, then Groot is definitely a subject to study. I think Drax is such a drama queen—can’t shut up. But at the end of the day, I learned to understand that I’m not the only victim. I’m not the only one that’s had it really hard. Drax has lost his family and probably in front of him like I did. There’s something, we are kindred spirits in that sense. Rocket had a lot of alterations done to his body and so did Gamora, and Quill lost his mom and he was basically taken from Terra. So, there’s a lot of things that they all have in common.
How about Nebula?
Saldana: Nebula. Oh that’s I—it’s complicated. I think to me, that’s the biggest heartbreak for Gamora. Gamora and Nebula have a very, very similar paths. They were abducted from their families, their parents probably killed in front of them, so we’re ronins but Gamora wants to change. She’s just different, she’s never really had it in her.
I think that Nebula definitely was born with a sense of wanting to taste blood. For her, she doesn’t want to move and that’s something that’s very frustrating for Gamora because there’s this big responsibility that she feels to Nebula. And Nebula doesn’t see it that way, doesn’t love her back with the same regard. That to me, is a bit heartbreaking. I’m one of three sisters and I’m like, “Jesus Christ, if I could marry them, I’d be the happiest person. I’d be complete, I’d be wholesome.” When I’m playing characters where there’s sibling dysfunctions, it’s a little heartbreaking.
Who’s your favorite out of all this unique ensemble?
Saldana: I think Nebula’s costume. I think she’s really hot. She’s wonderful, the transformation is absolutely wonderful and the ball on her, man, to shave her head. I would’ve been like, “Dude. I don’t know. I gotta think about that. How much are you paying me? Nah, I can’t.” Nebula, her physicality, I think she’s very beautiful. And Groot, I’m very fascinated by Dave’s [Bautista] makeup, it’s just his Drax way. We saw the trailer they showed at Comic-Con and there’s that thing in slow motion where he’s like yesterday, and this man comes with it. He comes to set and he’s gonna bring it, and you just go, “Oh my God!” But when you meet him in real life, he’s so tender, so sensitive, very soft spoken, really kind but a kick ass actor, and intense.
He seemed very moved by having been cast in the role. It seems like the kind of thing when you give the actor that opportunity, they throw themselves a thousand percent into it.
Saldana: Yeah, that’s Dave but so is Chris as well. The transformation that Chris has done is not only physical—physical is the most apparent but he’s really devoted himself to this character, to this movie, and it’s wonderful to come to work and be surrounded by people who take their jobs very seriously. Because the day that you feel like slacking, you immediately correct yourself. It’s like, “Oh we’re on day 85 of green makeup.” By the time I get to set I’m just like, “Ugh. I’ve worked eight hours, I’ve been here for eight hours doing hair and makeup by the time I get to set.” And to come to set and see happy people and people that are in character, full costume inside and out, it lets you know that you have always bring your game. So, it’s good.
With Gamora’s direct connection to Thanos, she’s kind of the anchor to the greater Marvel cinematic universe that’s been established. Is that something that was part of your process or has informed your playing of this character at all?
Saldana: If I tell you “no” will you think ill of me? I don’t read comics and I don’t follow, so I don’t know. I’ve learned now as I’m doing the movie of the importance that Thanos has with all these characters in the Marvel universe. And I thought, “She definitely does have an upper hand with a lot of the characters because she was raised by this individual.” But in terms of how deep their blood ties are, that’ll probably be put into question in the next movie because it wasn’t really covered enough in this one. | positive |
Story highlights Ryan Lee Carroll won a contest to meet the "Breaking Bad" cast
He was taken into custody on Tuesday
Neighbors said the arrest was like a scene out of Hollywood
Better call Saul?
A man who won a contest to meet the cast of "Breaking Bad" back in September has been arrested on drug charges, CNN affiliate WBBH reported
Ryan Lee Carroll, 28, was arrested Tuesday following a raid on a home in the San Carlos Park neighborhood in Fort Myers, Florida, the station reported.
Carroll, who was reportedly taken into custody on felony charges of alleged possession of synthetic narcotics and a misdemeanor charge of allegedly keeping a shop or vehicle for dangerous drugs, won a national contest to meet the "Breaking Bad" actors prior to that hit show's series finale.

The TV series centers on a science teacher turned meth dealer. Another character on the show, Saul Goodman, is a slick lawyer who employs questionable methods to help his clients.
"It's just so addicting," Carroll told WBBH of "Breaking Bad" at the time he won the contest. "It's such a good show. I think it's addicting because people can relate to the main character."
After the warrant was served on the home, neighbors told the station that the scene was like something out of a Hollywood production, with a swarm of police cars and dozens of officers descending on the neighborhood.
According to the Lee County Sheriff's Office's website, as of Thursday morning Carroll remained in custody. | positive |

This morning, Alison Parker, a news reporter for WDBJ7-TV in Roanoke, Virginia, set off to cover an early morning story with cameraman Adam Ward. It wasn’t anything Earth-shattering. It was about a resort. Normal news for an audience who was sleepily looking at the television while sipping coffee and wishing it was Friday. It was a normal reporting day for some extraordinary people.
Until it wasn’t.
Around 6:45 a.m. is when the tragedy struck.
The entire news station, and people across the country are in complete shock over this event.
Alison, who had just turned 24, graduated from James Madison University and was a sister of Alpha Phi. In her days there she was very involved with the sorority. According to LinkedIn, she was the Vice President of Marketing, Collegiate Perspective Blogger, and Director of Online Media for her organization. In addition to her influence in Greek life, she was very involved on campus and in the community. As the news station reflected, she’s described as being loud (naturally) and that “they could hear her coming from a mile away.” She was passionate and driven and always had a smile on her face. She was what a sister should be.
Her boyfriend, and fellow news anchor, Chris Hurst, tweeted about the tragedy this morning.
We didn't share this publicly, but @AParkerWDBJ7 and I were very much in love. We just moved in together. I am numb. pic.twitter.com/tUrHVwAXcN — Chris Hurst (@chrishurstwdbj) August 26, 2015
We were together almost nine months. It was the best nine months of our lives. We wanted to get married.We just celebrated her 24th birthday — Chris Hurst (@chrishurstwdbj) August 26, 2015
She was the most radiant woman I ever met. And for some reason she loved me back. She loved her family, her parents and her brother. — Chris Hurst (@chrishurstwdbj) August 26, 2015
I am comforted by everyone at @WDBJ7. We are a family. She worked with Adam every day. They were a team. I am heartbroken for his fiancee. — Chris Hurst (@chrishurstwdbj) August 26, 2015
Her cameraman, Adam, was engaged to a fellow employee. Today was his fiancé’s last day at the station, and they were planning to have a party to celebrate this afternoon. The two were moving to Charlotte together to start a new life. Today is a sad day for Greek life, media, and our nation. Our thoughts are with the families of Alison Parker and Adam Ward and the Alpha Phi sorority..

Well, for a few days anyway. It might even be a couple of weeks - I am taking a PE class on Tuesday and Thursday night after work, and then next week I am taking another Tuesday/Thursday night class on the Professional Learning Community (PLC). Eventually, after taking five more of these class, I'll get bumped over to the next pay column which means a raise. In between classes, you can find me wrapping Speedy's legs. This entire winter has been made up of me tackling one equine problem after another, so adding in these two classes while I bandage legs should feel like par for the course. Just how many problems have my boys had this winter? Let's review. Sometime in the fall, Izzy abscessed, but I didn't take him to the vet right away as his body seemed to be taking care of it. It was still a giant worry though, and I poulticed it for the better part of a week until he was mostly sound. The problem with wrapping him is that he doesn't get ridden. And every day that he isn't ridden, his energy level goes through the roof guaranteeing a doozy of a ride once my butt is finally in the saddle. Kind of like this. I finally took him to the vet when Speedy abscessed. Yes, that's right. Both horses had an abscess at the same time. It was decided that Izzy was over his, but Speedy got a nice hole carved into his foot. The very same day that he seemed sound, Speedy abscessed on the other foot. We repeated the trip to the vet for a matching hole on the second foot. He improved, but then he got worse, a lot worse. I loaded him back up for yet another trip to the vet where he got an even bigger hole in his foot. Somewhere during all of this, Izzy pulled a shoe while my farrier was in Arizona. We finally got it replaced, and then there were about three days where everybody was healthy and all shoes were where they were supposed to be, and I got to finally ride Speedy. Whee! The Universe just can't leave well enough alone though. During all of the abscessing, it was determined that Speedy now has Cushing's Disease and will need to be medicated for the rest of his days. Big sigh. And then of course, a few weeks ago, Speedy tore open the front of his fetlock requiring sutures. After we got home from the vet, I turned him out and rode Izzy. When I came back to put Izzy away, I saw that Speedy had sliced open the other leg. We'd only been home about an hour. All I can say is that boy has a thing for symmetry. Over the weekend, both boys made another trip to the vet so that Speedy could get his sutures removed. Since I was making the trip, I decided to have Dr. Tolley give both horses their spring vaccinations and do their dentals. I've driven out there so many times this winter that it didn't make any sense to do it again in a few weeks. When I unloaded Izzy from the trailer, I saw this. Like I said, put a fork in me. Sheesh! Patti Strauch, DVM link 2/25/2019 10:18:45 am Ah, but what would you be doing if you didn’t have the boys? Gambling, cruises, cooking, playing bridge, etc.? Our equine buddies listen to our problems, don’t judge us, provide exercise & physical therapy, they improve our well being. We do get plenty back in spite of the expense and time. Bakersfield Dressage link 2/27/2019 05:49:11 am To your first sentence - HAHAHAHA! And to the second ... exactly. :0) AareneX link 2/25/2019 01:36:11 pm I feel yer pain, Sister! I finally got to ride for about an hour yesterday before my fingers and toes started to freeze off--the first time in the saddle for the month of February. Gahhhhh. "bright" side: some (if not all) of Speedy's abscess issues may be related to the Cushing's. In theory (and my fingers are crossed for you!) getting him onto medication should help with his feet. For bending a shoe, I got nothing but sympathy! Bakersfield Dressage link 2/27/2019 05:51:30 am Given that Speedy has never abscessed before in his entire life - he'll be fifteen in April, and I've had him since he was three, my vet is 99.9% sure the abscesses WERE the first indicators of Cushing's. Now we just need to hope that the medication keeps him on an even keel. I am wishing for Spring to pay you a visit. At least for a little while. :0) Comments are closed.

Electronic cigarettes controversy Electronic cigarettes (EC) are a consumer product appealing to smokers looking for a safer way to obtain what they want from their cigarettes. From what we know about EC ingredients, toxicology and the chemical and physical processes involved, they can be expected, outside pregnancy, to be at least 95% less harmful than cigarettes [1]. There is now a sufficient body of evidence available on several aspects and effects of EC for recent reviews to conclude that health care professionals and public health bodies should encourage smokers who cannot stop smoking using available treatments, or do not want to do so, to switch to EC [2],[3]. Yet at the same time, the World Health Organisation (WHO) have labelled EC a threat to public health, issued a strong advice to smokers not to use them [4], and urges policy makers to limit their use by prohibition or strict regulation [5]. This and other negative campaigns are starting to have an alarming effect of persuading smokers that EC are as harmful as cigarettes [6] and discouraging them from making the switch [7],[8]. This commentary argues that EC have a potential to generate substantial public health benefits and that discouraging smokers from using them and regulating EC as severely as cigarettes, or even more severely, is detrimental to public health. There are manifest humane and logical reasons to encourage smokers who cannot or do not want to stop smoking but want to limit the damage smoking may do to their health to switch to EC. Here is the straightforward case: There are currently two main products competing for smokers’ custom. One, the conventional cigarette, is responsible for disease and premature death in a substantial proportion of its users. It also continues to recruit new customers from among non-smoking children who try it. The other, EC, is orders of magnitude safer. On current evidence it only appeals to smokers and generates negligible rates of regular use among non-smoking children who try it. Which one would you prefer your nicotine addicted father to use? And if your children were to try a nicotine product, which of these two would you prefer that they lay their hands on?
Evidence and agendas For the past few years, scientific journals have been publishing a large volume of commentaries on the EC phenomenon. Most of these focus on hypothetical concerns. Although all commentators now acknowledge that EC are safer than cigarettes, EC are typically presented as a competitor to smoking cessation medications that is possibly less safe and that can somehow increase cigarette use, rather than as a consumer product that competes with cigarettes, and that can make its deadly competitor obsolete. Some medical organisations which are supposed to protect public health, such as WHO, go further and actively discourage smokers from using EC while lobbying for restricting EC use by regulation. The WHO stance is underpinned by a review they commissioned [9] that has been criticised for an unorthodox use of evidence [10] and illustrates well the anti-EC arguments. Findings that EC vapour contains traces of toxicants is interpreted as a sign of danger and even as a threat to bystanders, even if the levels of these chemicals are well within limits considered safe in the air we breathe [2],[11]. Surveys showing that a small proportion of children experiment with EC are presented as a sign of the ‘gateway’ risk despite the fact that virtually no non-smokers progress to daily EC use and that smoking in youth is declining [12]. Where it fits with the negative agenda, trying EC once in the past month is labelled as ‘current use’ which by analogy with ‘current smoking’ is typically interpreted as daily use. Surveys which include only smokers who did not find EC helpful and exclude EC users who stopped smoking are presented as a proof that EC are unhelpful. ‘Dual use’ is presented as a sign of danger despite the fact that it leads to reduced toxin intake [2]. The toxicity of nicotine is exaggerated [13] and the evidence that it makes little if any contribution to smoking related disease and death [14],[15] is ignored. Concerns about the twisting of evidence for ideological ends have generated an exchange of letters by large groups of researchers and activists [16]-[18]. Given the visibility and influence of the activists and medical organisations opposing EC use, there is a risk that these campaigns will discourage or even bar large numbers of smokers around the world from the unquestionable benefits of switching from smoking to vaping. Indeed, alarming signs are emerging that smokers who could benefit from switching to EC now increasingly believe EC are dangerous and they might as well stick to the conventional cigarettes [6]-[8].
Why is there a controversy? EC are a disruptive technology, threatening sales of tobacco products as well as sales of stop smoking medications and so commercially motivated opposition can be expected. The hostility to EC from some tobacco control activists, however, is puzzling. Future textbooks are likely to discuss this phenomenon at length. Here is one hypothesis. The field of public health is not always rational. Ideology and morality can play at least as big a role as evidence and logic. Public health policies struggle with ideology in areas ranging from abortion to harm reduction strategies in drug addiction and sexually transmitted diseases. One of the possible explanations of the EC controversy is that for some tobacco control activists, any nicotine use is ‘drug abuse’ and abhorrent even if it were to carry no physical health risk. When encountering evidence that EC are much safer than cigarettes, do not attract non-smokers, and promise to reduce smoking-related morbidity, people with this ‘moral stance’ look for objections and counterarguments. Evidence is not needed to discover the truth as the truth is ‘self-evident’ and there is a higher purpose. Evidence is just a tool to gain converts. Nicotine use should be eradicated, not allowed to morph into an activity akin to drinking coffee. An earlier version of the WHO Report to the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), now off-line, betrayed its missionary ethos when it stated that the group’s target is nicotine addiction (that is, nicotine use) ‘independently from its source’ (that is, whether it impacts physical health or not). Nicotine use, of course, can have negative consequences even if it does not affect physical health. A proportion of users become dependent. However, compared with disease and death caused by combustible non-nicotine chemicals in tobacco smoke, this is a minor consideration. Worries about nicotine use stripped of the health risks of smoking are on par with worries about drinking coffee. Some coffee drinkers do become dependent and spend a fair amount of money and time on their habit, but this does not constitute a major public health issue. It definitely does not justify denying smokers health benefits of stopping smoking just because they would continue to use nicotine and so their conversion to the true virtue would be incomplete. | positive |
On Friday, February 24, Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) held a town hall event at the Breaux Bridge City Hall. Leaked audio from local news outlet KPEL exposes left wing protesters plotting to create a hostile environment for Cassidy. One of the main goals was to make sure that they dominate the Q&A session to prevent sympathetic questions from being asked or heard. The Daily Caller reported that organizers instructed protesters to blend in with the local constituents (i.e. don’t look like a tree-hugging hippie). The goal was simple: fill the seats and create chaos. The outlet added that local news reported that some locals were turned away due to fire code restrictions.
It was a two-pronged strategy with Cassidy’s town hall, with two teams operating inside and outside of the venue to maximize exposure. The organizer is heard saying that if there are less than 20 people inside, some folks from the outside group should redeploy to inside the hall to fill those seats. They know the media is watching and they want to put on a show for them. Another organizer can he beard instructing members to make sure they spread out, and take the seat closest to the front row. Fill out as many seats as possible and if “the poor people of Breaux Bridge” are sitting behind them, then “tough luck for them,” which drew laughter from the protesters. The Caller reported that one of the organizers on the audio, the one who made the “poor people” comment, has been identified as James Proctor of Indivisible Acadiana, the local chapter of the anti-Trump group that was founded by ex-former Democratic aides, who also a drafted a 26-page document on how to fight back in Trump’s America.
Via Daily Caller:
The activists split up into an “inside team” — tasked with occupying “as many seats as we can” and an “outside team,” whose job was to “give [the media] the coverage they want” before joining the others inside. Activists were instructed to dress like conservatives and leave at home “any signifier that you’re a liberal” in order to blend in with constituents.
The leftist activists strategized how best to “dominate” the question-and-answer section of the town hall and keep anyone “sympathetic” to Cassidy from asking a question. […] “Game plan number one is to fill as many seats as we can, right? If it’s all of us in there and the poor people of Breaux Bridge are sitting behind us, well then tough luck for them,” said one organizer, identified by KPEL as James Proctor. His “poor people” comment drew laughs from the other activists. “If we can arrange it so he doesn’t hear one sympathetic question–great. That only magnifies our impact,” Proctor said. KPEL identified Proctor as the leader of Indivisible Acadiana, a local branch of the national Indivisible organization, which has organized hostile Republican town halls all around the country […] The activists can be heard in the audio referencing a partner group’s protest of Sen. Cassidy in Metairie, Louisiana, as a possible source of inspiration. Protesters at that event booed the name “Jesus” during the opening prayer. One woman can be heard on the audio saying she was in contact with the national Indivisible organization, a statement that Indivisible Acadiana denied over email after this article was published, claiming they: “were not in direct contact with the national group but “were in direct contact with some Indivisible groups in the Louisiana area who are also constituents of Senator Cassidy.”
Those antics (booing Jesus) are what Guy wrote about last week, where at another Cassidy town hall event—protesters booed the opening prayer and the pledge of allegiance. It’s typical hijinks doled out by liberals, but infuriating all the same. Some Republican lawmakers have alleged that these protesters are paid, which is an unknown factor, but this does appear to be astroturf. Swarm the scene, prevent supportive locals from participating, and create the illusion that deep-red Louisiana is somehow anti-Trump. With more Democrats than ever living in the urban-based areas and along the coasts, the well of supporters isn’t full. In some cases, it wouldn’t shock me one bit if these protesters are bussed in from other areas. The Democratic Party in rural America is simply quite dead. In Appalachia, out of the 490 counties that dot the massive region, Clinton only won 21 of them—and those contained college campuses. Are there Democrats in these regions, yes—but certainly not in the numbers that are inflated by these organized protests at GOP town halls. Does anyone actually think that in less than 100 days, the people of Louisiana, where Trump won with almost 60 percent of the vote, have turned on him? Most of his supporters are staying with him because he is following through on his campaign promises. And the more liberals throw their tantrums, shun people with opposing views, and continue to say how millions of Americans who support Trump are racist and deplorable, the more people flow into the Trump camp. Even moderates who have been on edge are now being pushed towards Trump, sick of being lectured to by an insufferable elite. While these protests appear to be made up of people from the area, does anyone think they would be this vocal and organized without the help from liberals in D.C? The vestiges of the Obama machine (Organizing for Action) have joined forces with Indivisible. Even Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) admitted that outside liberal groups are organizing these protests. This isn’t organic. It may last longer than Occupy Wall Street, but I doubt if liberals will reap any political dividends given their diminished state. To retake the White House, Congress, state legislature seats, and reoccupy governor’s mansions, they need to reconnect with white working class voters—you know those “poor people,” who are decidedly in the Trump camp for now. You’re not going anywhere with them by mocking them—and I think they know this already.
For congressional Republicans, they shouldn’t cancel or not hold town hall events. This is part of the job. You have to take the heat. We all knew that liberals would go absolutely crazy if Trump won. This is a taste of it. Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) has used humor to diffuse tense situation, though he hasn’t backed down on his stances on the issues. Maybe to ensure that everyone has a shot at being heard, and to avoid turning away constituents due to capacity concerns, Republicans should just have these events outside to reduce the layers of astroturf that appears to being laid down at these town hall events. Also, these folks are not talking to the national office...are you kidding me? | positive |

A £65m plan to build a major film studio outside Edinburgh, on the grounds of Heriot Watt University, will be officially lodged with the city next month.
Guardhouse Studios' plan includes eight studio buildings as well as exterior lots, and it will be related to another new studio which is to be built in the north of Italy by Guardhouse.
Guardhouse, whose president Surya Iacono has already held talks with Scottish Enterprise over the plans, said the plans are detailed and at an advanced stage, and added: "This is not a maybe, we are going to do this."
Last year Ms Iacono expressed frustration with the lack of backing from Scottish Enterprise and the Scottish Government over the plans, which are backed by private investors in the US, including some figures, who wish to remain anonymous, in Hollywood.
However plans have now advanced to the stage that Guardhouse Studios, whose designs are by Scottish architects Reiach and Hall, will formally apply for planning permission from the City of Edinburgh council this summer.
They include eight large sound stages as well as a "green" power plant.
The wholly privately funded plan, if planning permission is granted, would be the second studio plan to be "green lit" after the Scottish Government gave permission in principle to the Pentland Studio plans last week.
Guardhouse met with the Film Studio Delivery Group in August last year for a presentation, as well as officials from Edinburgh City Council, and the plans have received backing in writing from Scottish Enterprise and the council.
Property developers GVA, led by senior director Keith Aitken, are working with Guardhouse on the plans, along with the architects and power plant experts.
"I am 150% certain that this will work, and sure that Scotland can sustain our business plan," Ms Iacono added.
"Scotland needs film industry infrastructure, you have so many major productions coming to Scotland to film, like Avengers [shooting in Edinburgh] but they have nowhere to process it...so they go down to England and Wales," she said.
"There's no good reason why Scotland cannot have a studio.
"It offers jobs and a creative space for film makers, and in another world, if Scotland becomes indepedent, Scotland will absolutely need an independent film studio of its own.
"If Estonia can build a film studio of its own, if Yorkshire can, then Scotland has to - it has too much to offer."
The plan is to build at Heriot-Watt University Research Park facilities at Research Avenue North, with sound stages accompanied by production and post-production facilities.
The studio will be a partner to another studio Guardhouse are planning to build in Italy in the town of Roncello, near Milan, and like the Heriot Watt project close to a major airport.
Ms Iacono said the film studio project plans is only for a film studio, and attendant educational facilities, and has no retail or other elements.
She said that when the plans are officially submitted to the council they will be "extensive and detailed".
On behalf of the Film Studio Delivery Group, a Creative Scotland spokesperson said: "We continue to welcome private sector-led developments for film and TV studio facilities in Scotland."
Last week the Scottish Government gave the greenlight to another film studio plan, Pentland Studios, overturning the recommendation by the Government reporter.
Pentland Studios still have to apply for planning permission in detail to Midlothian Council for to the site, at Straiton, which has proved controversial due to local opposition, opposition from Green MSPs, and the tenant farmer who lives on part of the land.
A statement from developers Pentland Studios Limited said: “We’re very pleased with the decision by ministers to approve planning permission in principle for Scotland’s world-class film and TV studio complex, and we will be moving forward immediately with the application for planning permission in detail.
"Working together with Midlothian Council, we hope this next stage will be expedited accordingly, recovering the construction scheduling that will enable delivery of the key studio operation by late 2018.” | positive |

Portrait of Caroline of Brunswick by James Lonsdale (image courtesy of City of London Corporation)
On 8 April 1795, in the Chapel Royal, St James’s, George, Prince of Wales, the future King George IV (reigned 1820–30), married his cousin, the German Princess Caroline of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. It was not to be a happy union. When the marriage broke down very publicly in 1820 it scandalised the nation. During what became known as the ‘Trial of Queen Caroline’, supporters of the jilted Queen used Magna Carta to challenge what they regarded as a hypocritical and corrupt political establishment.
From the outset the marriage was never going to be a success. Prince George was already married to Maria Fitzherbert — though as she was a Catholic it did not legally count — and he was also having an affair with Frances Villiers, Lady Jersey. Indeed, George only consented to marrying Caroline because his father, King George III, agreed to pay off all of the Prince’s considerable debts if he did. Yet George remained so uninterested in matrimony that, when he was asked who he might like to marry, he reportedly claimed it did not matter as ‘one damned German frau is as good as another’. He should have paid more attention. Princess Caroline — who was chosen for him by his father — was reportedly a woman of high spirits, loose conduct, indecent language and poor hygiene. When Prince George first met her he was so dismayed that he turned aside and asked for brandy, and on the morning of their wedding he was so inebriated that he had to be physically supported throughout the ceremony. Unsurprisingly, within a year the royal couple were living separately, althought Caroline had achieved some success as a high society figure. She resided in Blackheath, London, and regularly made extravagant tours around the Mediterranean where she travelled with a large entourage, her favourite being her valet Bartolomeo Bergami — a well built, tall, handsome Italian.
Queen Caroline, Britain’s Best Hope. England’s Sheet Anchor (1820), on loan to the British Library's Magna Carta exhibition by kind permission of the Palace of Westminster
As soon as George IV became king in 1820, Caroline immediately returned to England to claim her place as Queen of England. Outraged, and seeking a divorce, George pressured Parliament to prepare a bill to strip Caroline of her title and end the marriage by Act of Parliament. A divorce through the ecclesiastical courts was difficult for the King given his own embarrassingly scandalous love life, and the bill in Parliament was considered the most expedient mode of attaining a divorce. The passage of the bill through Parliament became a spectacular cause celebre. The queen attended Westminster on a daily basis to hear the MPs debate her conduct (particularly with the Italian Bergami) in a process that emerged as something akin to a trial. The ‘trial’ of Queen Caroline became, as the government feared, a cause which radical parliamentary reformers exploited, as yet one more example of a corrupt political establishment supporting its own interests and in need of change. Caroline became the focus of many demonstrations and the topic for public prints in which she was represented as a wronged woman and an icon of the oppressed. Her lost rights became associated with the people’s lost rights, and she was often depicted as a heroine alongside that great symbol of English liberty, Magna Carta.
Henry Hone, The Queen and Magna Charta (London, 1820) (London, British Library, G.18982(25), p. 24), on show in Magna Carta: Law, Liberty, Legacy
Since at least the English Civil Wars Magna Carta had been used as an important symbol of ancient English liberty, and in their public defence of Queen Caroline the radicals invoked the Great Charter with equal zeal. In the print Queen Caroline. Britain’s Best Hope!!, generously loaned by the Houses of Parliament for our exhibition Magna Carta: Law, Liberty, Legacy, Caroline leans, in a pose reminiscent of Britannia, against an anchor representing the constitution composed of ‘Magna Charta, The People,’ and the ‘Bill of Rights’. United, they represent ‘Britain’s best hope’ of stability and strength in the face of corrupt government.
This theme was even more emphatically pursued in William Hone’s satirical poem The Queen and Magna Charta (1820). Hone was a radical writer, publisher and occasional bankrupt of some renown, and the fact that this book went through at least five editions in 1820 is testament to how it captured the mood of the British public during the ‘trial’. Based on another well-known satirical poem by Hone, The House that Jack Built (which again invoked Magna Carta), this poem compared:
‘THE BARONS
Of Runnymede Field,
Who once made a Tyrant’s ambition to yield,
By guarding OLD ENGLAND
With Liberty’s Shield,
And demanding THE THING
That JOHN SIGN’D’
with their ‘PUNY DESCENDANTS’ who now sat in judgment upon the Queen from the comfort of their seats in Parliament. Encouraging his readership to rise up against the establishment, Hone invoked Magna Carta throughout the poem as:
‘THE STANDARD,
The
RALLYING SIGN,
Round which
Every
BRITON of HONOR
will join’
Henry Hone, The Queen and Magna Charta (London, 1820) (London, British Library, G.18982(25), p. 25)
Such powerful propaganda, stressing the rights of British subjects as outlined in Magna Carta, had a significant effect on public opinion and altered the fate of Queen Caroline as the bill passed through Parliament. With memories of the French Revolution still vivid in the minds of many government ministers, and concerned that public outrage at the trial might lead to insurrection, Lord Liverpool, the Prime Minister, announced that the bill would be dropped, leading to country-wide celebrations on a large scale.
Caroline’s victory was short lived. Following the ‘trial’ Caroline accepted the government’s offer of an allowance of £50,000 a year if she went to live quietly abroad, but within a year she had died following a short illness. Her funeral cortège through London attracted a large crowd, who rioted when the government attempted to re-route the procession through the quieter backstreets of London. Eventually reaching Harwich, her remains were returned by boat to Germany where — in accordance with her wishes — she was buried by her father at their ancestral home in Brunswick.
Magna Carta: Law, Liberty, Legacy is on at the British Library, London, until 1 September 2015. Entry costs £12, under 18s enter free and other concessions are available.

The fascinating two-year "rumble" that has been threatening since the November 2010 mid-term United States elections will unfold after the new congress is seated this week. The feature bout on the card will pit: in the right corner, Ron Paul, the Texas Republican congressman, a graduate of Duke University Medical School, 1988 presidential candidate and author of the best-selling 2009 book End the Fed; and in the left corner, Ben Bernanke, chairman of the board of governors of the US Federal Reserve System, MIT PhD economist, former chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors and Fed governor.
This dream prize fight should take place because the Republicans have "mischievously" nominated Ron Paul as the chair of an important sub-committee of the House Financial Services Committee, namely the sub-committee on domestic monetary policy and technology, which scrutinizes US monetary policy.
The two combatants, Paul and Bernanke, have sharply opposite views in ideology and policy-making.
Paul, a well-known libertarian, belongs to a school of thought that rejects Keynesian economics, and abhors fiscal deficits and a government that polices the world. He supports the market mechanism, including for interest rate determination, supports bankruptcies, and dislikes bailouts and moral hazards, advocates the gold standard and a safe and stable dollar, and is critical of the law that banishes the use of gold in domestic circulation.
Bernanke’s approach to economic policy is well known and speaks for itself. As a key policy-maker under the George W Bush and Barack Obama administrations, he was the architect of extremely loose monetary policy that earned him the alias "Ben the helicopter" and has provided the foundation for recent financial developments in the United States, resulting in financial turmoil with a severe recession, unprecedented peacetime fiscal deficits and rising public debt. He is a strong supporter of Keynesian economics and quite relaxed about the dangers of inflation and inflationary expectations. His near-zero interest rate policy has reduced income from savings and distorted prices.
Since the nomination of Paul to chair the domestic monetary policy sub-committee, media and academic circles have become intrigued as to how the relationship between the congress and the Fed will evolve. In particular, to what extent will he be able to implement the ideas that he has advocated since the early 1970s, calling for sound money, a return to gold, and culminating with the elimination of the Fed?
End The Fed Ron Paul Best Price: $1.97 Buy New $6.00 (as of 07:50 EST - Details)
To say that Paul faces great challenges is an understatement. If his tenure as a head of the sub-committee ends with no change in US monetary policy and at the Fed, then all of his ideas could be seen as rhetoric, with his supporters becoming discouraged at discovering the gap between his ideas and political realities.
If, however, Paul succeeds in reforming US monetary policy and the Fed, he would set an important historical precedent, with his supporters gaining confidence in their ability to make hitherto difficult changes in the US financial system.
Even before round 1, Paul has started to dampen expectations. Although he has re-emphasized his belief that the Fed should be abolished, he has cautioned that turning ideas into reality takes time and effort. He has noted that his first action on the job will be to "think things through and not over-do things too soon." When asked if he intends to get rid of the Fed, the congressman replied: "Not right up front, but obviously that is the implication. Even in my book about ending the Fed, I talk about not turning the keys and locking the doors, I talk about a transition."
The congressman spoke about how he would go about reining in the Fed and the reasons he believes it is vital to do so. "I’ll have plans for hearings to find out how much information we can get. Obviously it is very popular with the American people to audit the Fed, to know what they are doing. They can spend trillions of dollars and we don’t know where it goes. They have a bigger budget, they spend more money than the congress does, and yet we have no oversight. It was never intended that a secret body like this could create money out of thin air and spend it, take care of some banks and big business and foreign banks while the American people struggle."
These statements indicate that Paul has quickly become more pragmatic and has toned down his plans for radical reforms, possibly handing the banner of radical reform to future generations after Americans have suffered even more from financial turmoil and chaos.
Relegating reforms to future generations could be a disappointing message to Paul’s supporters. However, it may not be, as it appears that Paul’s priority is to audit the Fed’s operations. This would be in line with legislation he introduced, incorporated into the Dodd-Frank Act of July 2010, enabling the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to audit the accounts of the Fed.
For those who are familiar with Paul’s ideas, this priority falls short of their expectations. The urgency does not seem to lie in auditing the Fed’s operation as much as to prevent further erosion of the value of money and spreading economic malaise. The urgency for his supporters is to stop the hemorrhage before washing away the blood.
Although a physician by training, Paul has displayed detailed knowledge of monetary economics and documented the adverse effects of the Fed’s policies. He has pointed out that, contrary to its mandate to promote price stability, the Fed has promoted price instability.
The Revolution: A Mani... Ron Paul Best Price: $1.27 Buy New $5.00 (as of 07:50 EST - Details)
Looking at the pre-Fed era, the US consumer price index (CPI) declined at an annual average of 0.5% and real gross domestic product (GDP) grew at an annual 4% during 18001912; this would have been labeled grave deflation by Bernanke and would have been considered as a danger to the economy.
During the Fed era, the CPI rose at 3.5% per year and real GDP at 3.25% per year during 19132009. Hence a dollar bought almost twice as much goods in 1912 as it did in 1800; and in 2009 it bought less than 5% of the goods it bought in 1913.
Paul pointed out that the Fed was a joint creation of the government and Wall Street to provide an "elastic" monetary system, with the real and hidden purpose being service to the interests of Wall Street.
In fact, there may not have been a more opportune time to think about radical monetary reforms than the present, with more Americans aware of the economic and financial policies, the impact of Fed policies on the US economy and in the face of a declining standard of living for the large majority of Americans.
The standard of living has been declining; impoverishment increasing, and the era of "opulence" as described by the late Professor John Kenneth Galbraith only a dim memory. A large number of Americans are still living out the financial nightmares of 20072009, with millions of foreclosures and general bankruptcies. It could be the best time for popular support for Paul’s ideas.
Paul has been an influential member of congress and has been member of the banking committee; yet despite his strong views and statements and sharp criticism of the Fed in the past few years, he was unable to initiate reforms that would rein the Fed’s expansionary monetary policies. Recently, some House Republican members wrote to Bernanke urging him to renounce the new quantitative easing program, which will inject $600 billion into the economy. Their letter was simply ignored by the Fed.
This state of affairs and the absolute power of the Fed to impose policies regardless of strong policy disagreements illustrate the urgency of hearings and reform. It is congress that created the Fed in 1913; it is congress that has imposed mandates on the Fed, including the reforms that set up the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee in 1933 or the mandate of full-employment in 1946. It is congress that could legislate reforms on the Fed.
Pillars of Prosperity:... Ron Paul Best Price: $4.87 Buy New $6.00 (as of 03:45 EST - Details)
While Paul’s long-time career in congress has been rich in ideas and prophetic of the financial crisis, it has nonetheless been marked with very few substantive initiatives for monetary reform.
Paul has clearly stated that he does not intend to shut down the Fed, admitting that doing so would require far-reaching reform. However, it is his intention that the idea has to be nurtured over generations until new leaders are elected with this goal in mind or until the Fed has caused such economic and social damage that the electorate chooses leaders with the explicit mandate of shutting down the Fed.
Hence, by stepping backward from the cherished idea in his book, he may lead supporters and politicians to consider his views as a form of utopia rather than a position that can become operational in the near future. Prior to Paul, the well-known University of Chicago and London School of Economics professor Harry Johnson was critical of the existence of the Fed as a policy-making body and proposed transforming it to an agency within the US Treasury, but this idea was never pursued.
Short of shutting down the Fed, which would require considerable campaigning within the political establishment and proposing the details of the monetary system that would emerge after such a closure, there are many less revolutionary ideas proposed by reformists during the 1930s and later, most recently by Paul and other critics of the Fed.
Subjecting money supply to a fixed rule was emphasized much earlier by the Currency School and translated in the United Kingdom into Sir Robert Peel’s act in 1844 that separated the Bank of England into an issue department and a banking department, with the issue of currency tightly determined by the amount of gold in hand.
The advocates of the fixed-money rule, such as economists Irving Fisher, Henry Simons, and Milton Friedman, believed that the Fed should only control monetary aggregates according to fixed increment rates between 2% and 4%, ensure safety of the banking system, and renounce setting interest rates or controlling the unemployment rate.
Besides versions of the currency school theory, reformists during the 1930s proposed the establishment of 100% reserve banking, which would eliminate money creation and destruction by banks, thus making banking safe and eliminating financial crises.
A less radical reform advocated in the past as well as recently is to drop the Fed’s mandate to achieve full employment as this mandate may be inconsistent with the role of a central bank as a monetary agency responsible for managing liquidity and ensuring banking safety; this mandate may have led the Fed into printing money, resulting in banking crises and inflation.
Liberty Defined: 50 Es... Ron Paul Best Price: $0.95 Buy New $6.25 (as of 03:20 EST - Details)
Paul has considered gold as the pillar of the monetary system that he envisions and supports. Ever since the collapse of the gold standard in 1914, some authors have kept on advocating a return to gold. While the metal has its supporters, it has more adversaries among professional economists. Gold was the common currency that unified all other currencies in a fixed exchange arrangement under the gold standard. The president of the World Bank has also recently proposed a return to a gold standard. Such a move would be much more difficult than president Richard Nixon’s decision to abolish dollar convertibility in 1971, in turn destroying the fixed exchange arrangement adopted under the Bretton Woods system in 1944, which had afforded gold a continuing role in the monetary system.
However, if Paul manages to re-introduce a form of the gold standard or abolish laws that forbid the circulation of gold, he would have accomplished a great deal of the reform program that he has campaigned for since the early 1970s. The menu of reforms for Paul as head of the domestic monetary policy sub-committee is, therefore, not limited.
Paul doesn’t appear to think that Bernanke is better or worse than the previous Fed chairman, Alan Greenspan. It is, instead, the monetary system that needs a radical overhaul. He has predicted that under the present Fed-dominated system the economy will deteriorate, inflation will become very high, and that the American people will become poorer. He holds congress responsible for fiscal management, bailouts, re-inflation of housing prices, and authorizing Fed policies.
He has noted that foreign central banks have been buying gold and getting out of the US dollar and that the dollar may loose its status as a reserve currency. In such a scenario, he does not believe that the Special Drawing Rights (or SDRs) issued by the International Monetary Fund or any other currency could replace the dollar only gold could. As a representative of the American people, he believes that congress may have to consider substantive monetary reforms that would restrain excessive powers of the Fed.
As it turns out, a large majority of congressmen are supportive of the Fed, believe that printing money is the solution to end recessions and high unemployment, and are critical of Paul’s ideas, claiming that the overwhelming majority of Republican congressmen are not supportive of his approach to economic and financial policy.
The 2010 November elections may have already sent a clear message of what the electorate thinks. As Americans pay higher prices on a daily basis for gas and food, as more suffer the humiliation of unemployment and foreclosures and are deprived because of economic inequities, more of the electorate will support candidates with platforms calling for fiscal and financial reforms.
For Paul, the US is on the verge of a currency crisis that may undermine the very existence of the Fed: "What I really fear is that when the Fed comes to an end it will not be by my planning but it will end with a catastrophic financial dollar crisis. This crisis when it comes, and I think we’re approaching it, affects everybody because it’s such an important currency. I think we’re moving into very, very dangerous times."
Let the rumble begin!

Intro
This is a quick article presenting very common neglect in creating application start on Android nowadays, and of course, simple and relevant solution.
Recently Google Design web page shows guidelines about launch screens (click). Personally I hate splash screens and it bugs me when they start to appear in products like Maps, Youtube or others. But this is not the topic I would like to touch here. Second described way of launching an application is Placeholder UI, or Starting Window.
Example shows a standard material screen with extended Toolbar, probably containing title, action buttons and few tabs. Unfortunately, there is no information of how to achieve this. But I remember an excellent article written by Cyril Mottier:
Basically creating perfect preview window doesn’t require any addition work from developers if they are using android themes right. It was true for long time. But after more and more application started adopting Material Design, this effect suddenly disappeared.
Launch experience of some popular applications:
Gmail
Hangouts
So, I switched myself into investigation mode and found two potentially guilty guys. | positive |
So the other day I was reading a blog post written by my lovely friend, Kathryn, and in that post she shared a list of things that she loves. I loved how most of the things on her list were not necessarily material items. And following on from my previous post about gratitude, I thought this would work nicely as a continuation.
So without further ado, here’s a little list of things that bring me immense joy and/or satisfaction.
Books. All books. I love the look of books, the smell of books, oh.. and reading them too! Finishing a book and having to take a moment to re-establish the real world because you’ve been so entranced by world in the story you have just read.
Sitting down with a cup of tea. Tea just makes all of lives problems disappear for a little while.
Baking. There is little more satisfying than baking something from scratch, and then sitting down with the aforementioned tea to enjoy the fruits of your labour.
When you get of a plane and the heat hits your face. The real holiday feeling.
Baths. Laying in a warm bath after a long day to warm you when you’re chilled to the bone, or relax your tired muscles.
Days where you can leave the house and not have to ask yourself if you need to bring a jacket. Those gorgeous summer days that you know are going to stay warm and lovely until sunset.
Freshly washed towels. Especially if they’ve just been tumble dried too. Wrapping yourself in a clean, fresh, warm towel is one of the best feelings.
Hearing ‘I love you.’ Not only hearing those words, but knowing that the person who is saying it, means it. Instant heart fuzzer right there.
Movies from my childhood. I can’t count the amount of times I’ve watched ‘Roman Holiday,’ it’s one of my mum’s favourite movies so we watched it a lot when my sister and I were kids. Watching it now still gives me a happy heart. (Even if I always cry at the end.)
The beach. Sitting on the pebbles (or sand) looking out to the great expanse of water in front of you. Watching the waves roll in. Simply perfect.
Having my nose stroked. Laying down with someone stroking from between my eyebrows to the tip of my nose is the best feeling ever.
When a song that you love but haven’t heard for ages comes on the radio. You best believe I’m singing every single lyric, and don’t try and talk to me whilst I’m in the zone. Euphoria.
Spooning. Always the little spoon, the feeling of being cuddled makes you feel so protected and invincible.
These are just some of the things that make my heart smile. I’d love to hear what things you love. Comment below 🙂
Until next time,
Emily x

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is sure to have many returning faces. Mon Mothma, Bail Organa, Dr Evazan, and even iconic villain Darth Vader will make an appearance, cameo or otherwise. And since the film is set in the Empire’s prime, one other character name has been circulating as a potential cameo as well, most popularly theorized as a holographic appearance: Emperor Sheev Palpatine. However, during an interview with Dutch website XGN at this weekend’s Amsterdam Comic Con, actor Ian McDarmid let slip that he won’t be appearing in Rogue One. Seems like there were no Royal Guards to guard him from overspeaking.
Sad news for me, because Palpatine is one of my favourite movie villains ever. Ian McDarmid is amazing at embodying the stereotypical cackling maniac in Return of the Jedi. And he’s no less great when tasked with giving the character some depth in the prequels. It would’ve been cool to see him putting fear into the hearts of his underlings one last time, but it appears it wasn’t meant to be.
Skip the video below to 6:30 to hear just how clear Ian is about not being in the film. And keep checking Hound’s Tooth and my personal Twitter for more thinkpieces and (apparently) occasionally news.

Bands such as the Pogues and Dropkick Murphys are known around the world for creating an Irish sound. But how authentic are they?
Twirling his comedy moustache and summoning every last drop of rockabilly-Borat charm, Gogol Bordello's Eugene Hutz broke into a toothsome grin. "Is my band popular in Eastern Europe?" he said during a recent interview. "Are you kidding, my friend? Are The Pogues popular in Ireland?".
We didn't have the heart to tell him but there was a crucial distinction. Hutz was born and reared in the former Soviet Bloc (in a rain-lashed hamlet south of Kiev). Whereas The Pogues, hailing largely from London, are the musical equivalent of the Republic of Ireland soccer team circa 1990, when half the starting 11 had English accents. Shane MacGowan (born in Tunbridge Wells, no less!) and chums may drape themselves in the tricolour, but their supposed "Irishness" is a mish-mash of hairy, outmoded cliches, many of which they seem actively interested in perpetuating.
For the rest of the year, Irish people can remain in blissful denial about the fake green shadow cast by the Pogues and kindred Plastic Paddies. Alas, each St Patrick's Day they are forced to remove the blinkers and face the horrible reality, as surely as if they had been strapped to a plank and dunked in a giant vat o' Guinness. Ireland has given the world Thin Lizzy, Fatima Mansions and My Bloody Valentine. And yet it's these whooping, fiddle abusing "Oirish" musicians who have come to be regarded the world over as true custodians of the Celtic soul. Notwithstanding the fact most of them started out schlepping around dive bars in Boston and Queens.
While claiming a deep spiritual connection to ... well, they'd probably call it the "Emerald Isle", their inauthenticity stinks. The obvious giveaway is the choice of band names: Black 47, Flogging Molly, Dropkick Murphys. You can tell exactly what stripe of Irishness these guys are trying to flog. Hint: it has sweet feck all to do with Oscar Wilde, Christy Ring or Samuel Beckett.
This might be funny if it didn't stifle proper Irish musicians attempting to forge an international career. When Bell X1 – a sort of Irish Radiohead minus the righteousness and self-loathing – toured the US, local media complained that they didn't seem "particularly Irish". Meaning, one presumes, they didn't end each show by setting a bodhrán alight and glassing one another. Imagine Coldplay fetching up in New York only to be upbraided for not sounding like Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins.
In Britain, too, soft prejudices endure. Although the Mercury Music Prize styles itself as a UK and Ireland award, it's long been clear that, for Irish artists to make the short-list, they are required to cleave to the stereotype of the misty-eyed troubadour. Windswept and soft voiced, Gemma Hayes, Fionn Regan and Lisa Hannigan each dealt in the sort of Celtic whimsy that goes down well in Kilburn and Glasgow, but strikes many Irish people as quaint, if not a bit stagey. What if the Mercury judges took the time to explore the genuine diversity of modern Irish pop, in particular its burgeoning electronica scene? Now there's a St Patrick's Day toast we can all raise a glass to. | positive |

Cart Films from independent producers worldwide. 32 Court Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201 (718) 488 8900 Moi, Un Noir A film by Jean Rouch Text Size Printable Version Winner of the prestigious Prix Louis Delluc in 1958, MOI, UN NOIR marked Jean Rouch's break with traditional ethnography, and his embrace of the collaborative and improvisatory strategies he called "shared ethnography" and "ethnofiction." The film depicts an ordinary week in the lives of men and women from Niger who have migrated to Abidjan, Cote D'Ivoire for work. After a short introduction by Rouch, "Edward G. Robinson"-Omarou Ganda, who like the film's other subject-collaborators plays himself under the name of a Western movie star-takes over the film's narration, recreating dialogue and providing freewheeling commentary on his experiences. Robinson describes the bitter reality of life in Treichville, a poor inner suburb populated largely by migrants, and his work as a day laborer (bozori) in the ports. When the weekend arrives, he and his friends go to the beach and the bars, but even during this brief respite from their drudgery, they remain second-class citizens. MOI, UN NOIR also brings inside Robinson's richly detailed inner life, as he describes his fantasy of becoming a championship boxer, his dream of marrying "Dorothy Lamour" (Gambi, another Nigerien migrant), and his childhood memories of Niger. MOI, UN NOIR captures both the sorrows and the occasional joys of these migrants' experience in all their psychological complexity. A landmark of documentary cinema, Rouch's stylistic innovations here exerted a profound influence on the French New Wave, and his collaborative process helped bolster the national cinemas of West Africa. "MOI, UN NOIR is, in effect, the most daring of films and the humblest."—Jean-Luc Godard, filmmaker "In principle, an African could have made it, but none of us were in a position to do so at the time."—Ousmane Sembene, filmmaker "Seminal."—Richard Brody, The New Yorker "One of the first films, ethnographic or otherwise, that depicted the pathos of life in changing Africa...MOI, UN NOIR is a film that obliterates the boundaries between fact and fiction, documentary and story, observation and participation, objectivity and subjectivity."—Paul Stoller, Ph.D., Visual Anthropology Review "Selected by Jean-Luc Godard as one of the best films of 1959, MOI, UN NOIR is at once an analysis, a critique, and a fantasy dealing with the harsh realities and rich interior lives of the exploited working class under colonial rule."—Jamie Berthe, Ph.D., New York University 1958 Prix Louis Delluc 1958 Mannheim Film Festival 2012 African Studies Association Conference 70 minutes / Color English; French / English subtitles Release: 2012 Copyright: 1958 For individual consumers (home video) This title is available online from: For colleges, universities, government agencies, hospitals and corporations Purchase DVD: $375.00 This DVD is sold with a license for institutional use and Public Performance rights.

Pharmacy Students' Mental Health and Resilience in COVID-19: An Assessment after One Year of Online Education Hammoudi Halat, Dalal, Younes, Samar, Safwan, Jihan, Akiki, Zeina, Akel, Marwan, Rahal, Mohamad. European Journal of Investigation in Health, Psychology and Education ; 12(8):1082-1107, 2022. Article in English | MDPI | ID: covidwho-1987696 ABSTRACT COVID-19 has impacted mental health and affected education due to the shift to remote learning. The purpose of the current study was to assess the mental health of pharmacy students one year following the onset of the pandemic. A descriptive cross-sectional questionnaire was distributed to pharmacy students. The severity of depression, anxiety, and stress was assessed by the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21), and resilience was assessed by the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS). COVID-19-related economic, educational, and health stressors, and students' vaccine attitudes were surveyed. Descriptive, bivariate, and multivariable analysis were used, and a p-value of <0.05 was considered significant. A total of 561 students participated;37% had mild-to-moderate depression, 37% had severe-to-extremely-severe anxiety, and 52% demonstrated normal stress levels. Severe depression, anxiety, and stress were associated with smoking and feeling isolated due to COVID-19. Around 40% of students had low resilience, associated with smoking, being in the third or fourth year of pharmacy study, and the consumption of caffeinated beverages. The mean score of satisfaction with online learning was 60.3 ±21.3%. Only 5% of participants were vaccinated, of which 87% trusted the benefits of vaccines and their role in controlling the pandemic. One year after the onset of COVID-19, depression, anxiety, stress, and low resilience were observed among pharmacy students;the investigation of the long-term mental effects of the pandemic on university students is warranted. 2. A Focused Insight into Thyme: Biological, Chemical, and Therapeutic Properties of an Indigenous Mediterranean Herb. Hammoudi Halat, Dalal; Krayem, Maha; Khaled, Sanaa; Younes, Samar. Nutrients ; 14(10)2022 May 18. Article in English | MEDLINE | ID: covidwho-1953779 ABSTRACT A perennial wild shrub from the Lamiaceae family and native to the Mediterranean region, thyme is considered an important wild edible plant studied for centuries for its unique importance in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industry. Thyme is loaded with phytonutrients, minerals and vitamins. It is pungent in taste, yet rich in moisture, proteins, crude fiber, minerals and vitamins. Its chemical composition may vary with geographical location but is mainly composed of flavonoids and antioxidants. Previous studies have illustrated the therapeutic effects of thyme and its essential oils, especially thymol and carvacrol, against various diseases. This is attributed to its multi-pharmacological properties that include, but are not limited to, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antineoplastic actions. Moreover, thyme has long been known for its antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiseptic activities, in addition to remarkable disruption of microbial biofilms. In the COVID-19 era, some thyme constituents were investigated for their potential in viral binding. As such, thyme presents a wide range of functional possibilities in food, drugs, and other fields and prominent interest as a nutraceutical. The aims of the current review are to present botanical and nutritive values of this herb, elaborate its major constituents, and review available literature on its dietetic and biological activities.

The Collateral Effects of COVID-19 Pandemic on the Status of Carbapenemase-Producing Pathogens. Ayoub Moubareck, Carole; Hammoudi Halat, Dalal. Front Cell Infect Microbiol ; 12: 823626, 2022. Article in English | MEDLINE | ID: covidwho-1775645 ABSTRACT The serious challenge of antimicrobial resistance continues to threaten public health and lingers in the era of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), declared pandemic by the World Health Organization. While the pandemic has triggered the importance of infection control practices and preventive measures such as physical distancing, hand hygiene, travel reduction and quarantine, the ongoing alarm of antimicrobial resistance seems to accompany the pandemic too. Antimicrobial resistance has been fostered during COVID-19, possibly due to high rate of empirical antibiotic utilization in COVID-19 patients, increased use of biocides, and the disruption of proper healthcare for other conditions. Specifically, carbapenemase-producing Gram-negative bacteria have shown to cause secondary bacterial infections in patients hospitalized for COVID-19. Clinical and microbiological evidence of such infections is accumulating in different parts of the world. With the resilient nature of carbapenemases, their association with mortality, and the limited treatment options available, concerns regarding this group of antibiotic-hydrolyzing enzymes during the pandemic are expected to upsurge. While the additional burden carbapenemases exert on healthcare is worrisome, it remains hidden or abandoned among the various health consequences of the pandemic. The purpose of this minireview is to shed a light on carbapenemase-associated infections during such unprecedented time of COVID-19. A focused insight shall be made into carbapenemases, their implications for COVID-19 patients, and the features and consequences of co-infection, with a review of available evidence from pertinent literature. The importance of increased surveillance for carbapenemase-producers and optimizing their management in relation to the pandemic, shall be addressed as well.

Iskandar, Katia; Murugaiyan, Jayaseelan; Hammoudi Halat, Dalal; Hage, Said El; Chibabhai, Vindana; Adukkadukkam, Saranya; Roques, Christine; Molinier, Laurent; Salameh, Pascale; Van Dongen, Maarten. Antibiotics (Basel) ; 11(2)2022 Jan 30. Article in English | MEDLINE | ID: covidwho-1705475 ABSTRACT The history of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) evolution and the diversity of the environmental resistome indicate that AMR is an ancient natural phenomenon. Acquired resistance is a public health concern influenced by the anthropogenic use of antibiotics, leading to the selection of resistant genes. Data show that AMR is spreading globally at different rates, outpacing all efforts to mitigate this crisis. The search for new antibiotic classes is one of the key strategies in the fight against AMR. Since the 1980s, newly marketed antibiotics were either modifications or improvements of known molecules. The World Health Organization (WHO) describes the current pipeline as bleak, and warns about the scarcity of new leads. A quantitative and qualitative analysis of the pre-clinical and clinical pipeline indicates that few antibiotics may reach the market in a few years, predominantly not those that fit the innovative requirements to tackle the challenging spread of AMR. Diversity and innovation are the mainstays to cope with the rapid evolution of AMR. The discovery and development of antibiotics must address resistance to old and novel antibiotics. Here, we review the history and challenges of antibiotics discovery and describe different innovative new leads mechanisms expected to replenish the pipeline, while maintaining a promising possibility to shift the chase and the race between the spread of AMR, preserving antibiotic effectiveness, and meeting innovative leads requirements.

Published in 1976—a full six months prior to the release of the film it was adapting—the novelization of Star Wars titled: Star Wars: From the Adventures of Luke Skywalker was billed as “a novel by George Lucas.” We now know (as Lucas freely admits in reprints of the book) that this book was in fact written by Alan Dean Foster, who created several specific aspects of the Star Wars backstory, many of which remain canon to this day. However, despite the wealth of terms and ideas that stuck, there are many, many differences between what we would come to know as Star Wars and what is contained in this book. Here are a few inconsistencies, differences and other curiosities originating from the first glimpse the public ever got of Star Wars.
Palpatine is Not a Sith Lord. Also, Not Even in Charge
In the film, an Imperial officer named General Tagge (didn’t even have to look that up) is moderately freaked out upon hearing that the “senate” has been dissolved. “How will the Emperor maintain control without the bureaucracy?” he worries. Well, in the prologue to the novel, the Emperor doesn’t. In a super-brief introductory section of the book (which claims to be taken from something called “The Journal of the Whills”) the death of the Old Republic and rise of the Empire is summarized quickly. Most interestingly, the rise of Palpatine from senator to President and then Emperor dovetails neatly with the events of the movie prequels. That is, until this casual assertion:
“Once secure in office he declared himself Emperor, shutting himself away from the populace. Soon he was controlled by the very assistants and boot-lickers he had appointed to high office, and the cries of the people for justice did not reach his ears.”
Palps is most certainly not a Sith Lord, nor does he even seem all that evil. Instead, he’s more like some creepy historical politician, like a Caesar being betrayed by a bunch of boot-licking Brutuses. Certainly not the cackling, all-knowing lightning-shooting guy we know so well. Also, how do we feel about the fact that the opening lines of the first ever item in the epic Star Wars franchise contains the phrase “boot-lickers?”
Gold Squadron? Never heard of them. Plus, big ups for Biggs!
Much of the rebel assault on the Death Star is depicted in the same manner as you see it in the film, but there are some changes. Superficially, the most noticeable differences are in the color designations. Instead of the Y-Wings being Gold Squadron, they’re Red Squadron, while the X-Wings of Red Squadron are now Blue Squadron. This means Luke is Blue 5 instead of Red 5. The drama of the battle itself plays out pretty much the same as in the film, but carries a slightly more somber tone.
The friendship between Luke and Biggs is actually a big part of the Star Wars novel and, you could argue, helps to make Luke more realistic and relatable. This relationship is introduced in the beginning of the novel with the infamous deleted scene in which Luke observes the capture of the Tantive IV through his nifty space binoculars. Biggs is hanging out on Tatooine, and then shows up again twice more in the book. Right before the big battle they describe their friendship in terms of “two shooting stars,” a sentiment Luke repeats tearfully as Biggs dies tragically in his X-Wing. Further, it is Biggs and NOT Wedge who saves Luke’s ass from a TIE Fighter early in the battle. In the film, we mostly remember Biggs for his moustache. In the novel, he’s a real person.
Chewbacca Gets a Medal!
Extensively parodied and complained about, the lack of a medal for Chewbacca is one of those small inexplicable events in Star Wars, on par with the gunners deciding not to shoot Threepio and Artoo’s escape pod in the beginning of the film. The Falcon requires two people to fly! And really, to run it properly, even more than that. So why didn’t Leia and those folks give Chewbacca a medal? Maybe they got the medals made beforehand and ran a statistical algorithm which told them that two survivors was the most likely outcome. Nobody wanted to spring for the extra medal, so Chewie was screwed. But in the book, he gets one, right before Luke.
Chewbacca shuffled nervously, giving every indication of wishing he were someplace else. Solo silenced him as Leia rose and came forward. At the same time banners tilted in unison and all those gathered in the great hall turned to face the dais. She placed something heavy and golden around Solo’s neck, then Chewbacca’s—having to strain to do so—and finally around Luke’s.
Funnily enough, Alan Dean Foster describes these not as medals but instead as something heavy and golden. Kind of weird, right?
Obi-Wan Kills More People, Lives in a Cave, Smokes a Pipe
In addition to killing a few more fools who try to mess with him in the cantina, the book also depicts Obi-Wan Kenobi as a slightly more befuddled and screwy old man. First off, he lives in a cave and not a hut. Second, he smokes what is referred to as a “water pipe.” Is Obi-Wan hitting up some pipe weed, Gandalf-style? In his mind, Luke refers to Obi-Wan as an “oldster,” which though really silly, is sort of accurate. Kenobi rambles and says random stuff a lot in this book. Check it out:
“I understand you’re quite a good pilot yourself. Piloting and navigation aren’t hereditary, but a number of the things that can combine to make a good small-ship pilot are. Those you may have inherited. Still, even a duck has to be taught to swim.” “What’s a duck?” Luke asked curiously. “Nevermind.”
You really cannot make this stuff up. Apparently living in a cave and smoking whatever all day long has made Obi-Wan into philosopher of the totally obvious. Skills like piloting and navigation aren’t hereditary? I’m so glad you’re here to tell us these things.
Other Oddities
Droids are referred to as ’Droids, assuming that everyone understands this is a slang abbervation for the word “android.”
The references to Earth crop up here and there. The “duck” mentioned above in the Obi-Wan section is an obvious example, but even in that same part of the book we get this sentence: “Luke’s mind was as muddy as a pond laced with petroleum.” Now that imagery would be weird even in a regular novel.
It’s a bit unclear if Han shoots first in terms of the altercation between himself and Greedo in the cantina. Yes, it’s made plain that Han kills Greedo, but there is nothing there to say that maybe Greedo didn’t also fire. From the text: “Light and noise filled the litte corner of the cantina, and when it had faded, all that remained of the unctuous alien was a smoking, slimy spot on the stone floor.”
The novel ends with Luke having lovey-dovey feelings about Leia. There’s no mistaking this—it’s not subtle at all: “Luke found that his mind was neither on his possible future with the Alliance nor on a chance of traveling adventurously with Han Solo and Chewbacca. Instead, unlikely as Solo claimed it might be, he found his full attention occcupied by the radiant Leia Organa. She noticed his unabashed stare, but this time she only smiled.” So, not only does Luke have a big crush on Leia, but he was also maybe considering going off on adventures with Han? Now, at least that part is kind of awesome.
There’s a lot more in this book which is off, awkward, and not at all like the film version of Star Wars: A New Hope, and yet the book is highly readable. To say it’s worth reading even if you haven’t seen the movie would be the claim of a crazy person, but if you like Star Wars, this novel will offer a bizzare glimpse into an alternate and twisted version of galaxy far, far away.
But you’ve been warned: if you face this novel, you face it alone. I cannot interfere.

This article is about the Western cake. For the radish-based Teochew dish also known as "fried carrot cake", see Chai tow kway
Carrot cake is a cake that contains carrots mixed into the batter.
History [ edit ]
The origins of carrot cake are disputed. Published in 1591, there is an English recipe for "pudding in a Carret(sic) root"[2] that is essentially a stuffed carrot, but it includes many elements common to the modern dessert: shortening, cream, eggs, raisins, sweetener (dates and sugar), spices (clove and mace), scraped carrot, and breadcrumbs (in place of flour). Many food historians believe carrot cake originated from such carrot puddings eaten by Europeans in the Middle Ages. This evolution is said to be originated during the Middle Ages when sugar and sweeteners were expensive for most individuals and often hard to find, so many people used carrots as a substitute for sugar.[3]
In volume two of "L'art du cuisinier" (1814), Antoine Beauvilliers, former chef to Louis XVI[4], included a recipe for a "Gâteau de Carottes,"[5] which was popular enough to be copied verbatum in competitors' cookbooks.[6][7] In 1824, Beauvilliers had published in London an English version of his cookbook which includes a recipe for "Carrot Cakes" in a literal translation of his earlier recipe.[8][9]
Another 19th-century recipe comes from the housekeeping school of Kaiseraugst (Canton of Aargau, Switzerland).[10] According to the Culinary Heritage of Switzerland, it is one of the most popular cakes in Switzerland, especially for the birthdays of children.[10]
The popularity of carrot cake was revived in the United Kingdom because of rationing during the Second World War.[11]

In August 2012, as most members of Congress were hitting the campaign trail, three Republican lawmakers were enjoying an all-expenses-paid retreat at Ol Jogi, a private 66,000-acre ranch in Kenya’s lush highlands. This “African Versailles” features a golf course, racetrack, dozens of man-made lakes, around 120 miles of road, more than 200 major buildings, and some 350 employees. The representatives—including Alabama’s Jo Bonner, then the chairman of the House ethics committee—were ostensibly there to learn about threats to the ranch’s idyllic landscapes and herds of wild animals, which were made famous in the Oscar-winning 1985 film Out of Africa.
Ol Jogi is owned by a trust benefiting the Wildenstein family, a secretive, embattled Franco-American aristocratic line; the clan has been accused of buying art looted by the Nazis, among other misdeeds. Over five generations, the Wildensteins have amassed a fortune estimated to be worth as much as $10 billion by dealing art, breeding horses, and—according to French authorities—evading a reported $800 million in taxes. One family member received a multimillion-dollar mansion for her 17th birthday; another has spent millions on plastic surgery to make herself look more like a cat. Since 1990, the Wildensteins and a family firm have given nearly $150,000 to Republican candidates and campaign committees.
Given the family’s history of support for the party, it’s no surprise that Bonner, along with top GOP fundraiser Rep. Diane Black (R-Tenn.) and Rep. Kay Granger (R-Texas), chose to overlook their hosts’ legal difficulties and visit the site of Meryl Streep and Robert Redford’s African love affair. What’s more intriguing is who paid for the 10-day, $47,000 adventure for the legislators (as well as Bonner’s and Black’s spouses and Granger’s son): the International Conservation Caucus Foundation, a mysterious charity based out of a two-story townhouse in the posh Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, DC.
One family member received a multimillion-dollar mansion for her 17th birthday; another has spent millions on plastic surgery to make herself look more like a cat.
It may not have a glass-and-steel headquarters, but the ICCF counts among its supporters some of America’s most powerful corporations and special interests. The Nature Conservancy, Conservation International, the Wildlife Conservation Society, and the World Wildlife Fund helped launch the group and are the only members of its Advisory Council. Meanwhile, the foundation’s Conservation Council includes ExxonMobil and six other Fortune 500 companies, as well as trade groups (like the American Petroleum Institute and the Malaysian Palm Oil Board) that represent environmentally destructive industries.
The ICCF’s mission statement says it aims “to advance US leadership in international conservation…and to develop the next generation of conservation leaders in the US Congress.” The group’s corporate backers, however, hear a different story. A company that supports ICCF gets “an unparalleled opportunity for access and visibility, to have its voice heard and its perspective appreciated by many of the most powerful leaders in Congress,” according to a confidential summary of the foundation’s schmoozing with lawmakers sent to members in September and obtained by Mother Jones.
The ICCF can offer donors this “unparalleled” access because a loophole in congressional travel and lobbying restrictions allows educational foundations to wine and dine lawmakers in ways lobbyists can’t. It has filed tax returns that contradict congressional ethics disclosures and failed to report key financial information, leaving the public in the dark about how it pays for expensive trips like Bonner’s.
“How I Was Offered My Very Own Safari”: Read the full footnoted transcript of reporter Corbin Hiar’s colorful interview with ICCF founder David Barron.
What’s clear is that the ICCF provides polluters and their lobbyists entrée to a vast number of legislators: With 141 members on both sides of the aisle, the International Conservation Caucus, its bipartisan sister organization, is one of the largest of the hundreds of official congressional groups lawmakers have formed to pursue common goals and interests. (Other caucuses range from the obscure Contaminated Drywall Caucus to conservative Democrats’ Blue Dog Coalition.) Perks like exotic trips, opulent galas, and the opportunity to “work with”—and raise money from—”conservation-oriented corporations committed to policies of good stewardship,” as a letter sent to prospective members put it, have helped the ICC recruit fully a quarter of Congress: 117 representatives and 23 senators have joined.*
But in its work with lawmakers, the ICCF has been timid at best on conservation issues. The group is silent on climate change and rarely takes controversial stands. Its partners on Capitol Hill include Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), whose staffers have gone on three separate ICCF-organized trips; Inhofe, a leading climate change denier, won the Center for Biological Diversity’s 2012 Rubber Dodo Award for his work to “drive endangered species extinct.” Sen. John McCain, (R-Ariz.) who earned a score of zero (out of 100) from the League of Conservation Voters in 2012, is also a member. House ICC co-chairman Ander Crenshaw (R-Fla.) and 40 other representatives in the caucus have LCV scores of 10 or less, as well.*

Why would green groups support an organization that works with polluting companies, the oil lobby, and anti-environment lawmakers? The answer has a lot to do with funding. Massive conservation organizations like those on the foundation’s Advisory Council struggle to sustain budgets that can reach nearly a billion dollars a year. They don’t raise that kind of money with small donations; they must aggressively pursue multimillion-dollar corporate contributions and government grants. In this pursuit, the ICCF plays a crucial role.
One ICCF outing, a $30,700, 10-day tour of Botswana and South Africa that Rep. John Carter (R-Texas) and his wife took in August 2011, was the second most expensive on record for any member of Congress.
As in most exclusive clubs, the perks the foundation offers rise with the size of the contributions. ICCF membership—which starts at $25,000, tax-deductible—includes tickets to inside-the-Beltway events hosted by the foundation; there’s an annual Congressional Oyster Roast & Frogmore Stew, and past galas have featured British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Mexican President Felipe Calderón, Edward Norton, and Harrison Ford. For an additional $25,000, partners can host congressional coffee briefings, luncheons, and dinners, where lawmakers can learn about, for example, Walmart’s “Commitment to Sustainability” or the “Oil and Gas Industry’s Investment in Conservation.” There are also unspecified extra perks for partners who pay for the copyrighted $100,000-per-year “Teddy Roosevelt Steward” designation. John Gantt, the foundation’s president, says the top contributors get “additional seats at major events,” but declined to provide more details.
When Tony Blair and Indiana Jones aren’t enough, the ICCF woos lawmakers by taking them on “educational field missions.” Since December 2007, it has led 39 Republican and 26 Democratic aides and lawmakers on 10 group trips at a cost of more than $350,000. In addition to Bonner’s Ol Jogi visit, the foundation has organized excursions to Botswana, Tanzania, South Africa, Brazil, and Costa Rica. One outing, a $30,700, 10-day tour of Botswana and South Africa that Rep. John Carter (R-Texas) and his wife took in August 2011, was the second most expensive on record for any member of Congress. “This is not educational,” says Craig Holman, a lobbyist with the watchdog group Public Citizen. “This is influence peddling available primarily only to special interests that have a lot of money to throw around.”
??This sort of congressional junket was supposed to have ended five years ago, when legislation passed in the wake of the Jack Abramoff scandal strictly limited lobbyists’ and companies’ ability to pay for congressional travel. But in the years since, the congressional ethics committees that enforce those rules have decided the post-Abramoff restrictions do not extend to charities—even those, like the ICCF, that get much of their funding from lobbyists and organizations that lobby. This loophole has allowed outside funding for congressional travel to return to levels not seen since Abramoff’s globe-trotting prime, when “Casino Jack” famously took ex-Rep. Bob Ney (R-Ohio) on a Scottish golfing junket that would eventually help land them both in prison. In 2011, the most recent year for which there is data, $5.8 million was spent on 1,600 privately funded congressional trips—money that is often funneled through groups like the ICCF.
Outside funding for congressional travel has returned to levels not seen since Jack Abramoff’s globe-trotting prime.
Leading many ICCF field missions is founder David Barron, a former aide to President Ronald Reagan and onetime national chairman of the Young Republicans. (Read the full interview with Barron.)”He is the face of ICCF and also puts a lot of work into it,” says a former GOP staffer who’s gone on an ICCF-organized trip and attended some of its DC luncheons and dinners. Barron, who stepped down as president in 2009 and no longer collects a salary, “continues to exercise responsibility for ICCF’s direction and recruit new members” for the ICC, according to the foundation’s website. “I was very much part of getting the ICCF started,” Barron says. “I’m delighted to offer a little advice and support occasionally, but I’m doing other things. I’m not ICCF anymore.” Gantt says the ICCF “generally” pays Barron’s expenses when he travels with the foundation, which Barron says he does only “when our schedules overlap.”
Barron’s decision to downplay his continued involvement might stem from his colorful history. His official ICCF bio describes him as a “conservation volunteer…who had been working in Africa for many years on issues of democracy and development” before he launched the foundation in February 2006.
Barron did have years of experience on the continent, but he wasn’t always working for democracy or conservation. For more than a decade, Barron, business partner Jeffrey Birrell, and the employees of Barron-Birrell Inc. provided lobbying, public-relations, and consulting services for a succession of West African dictators, starting in 1992 with the government of Nigeria’s General Ibrahim Babangida. In 1995, the company worked for the regime of Sani Abacha, the brutal military leader who had overthrown Babangida’s hand-picked successor and would later order the execution of Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight other nonviolent environmental activists. Barron says he “worked for Nigeria,” not Abacha, and “never met the man.”
Birrell refused to comment. But years of contracts and reports Barron-Birrell filed with the Justice Department indicate that, in the early 2000s, the men moved into “environmental consulting services”—code for helping African countries land international conservation grants. In September 2002, the Republic of Congo paid the firm $100,000 for aiding “discussions involving environmental conservation of the Congo Basin.” That same month, Omar Bongo, the kleptocratic president of Gabon from 1967 until his death in 2009, inked a similar $400,000-per-year deal with Barron-Birrell for advice on “economic development, environmental conservation, and other matters.” The Senate’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations later accused Birrell of setting up a shell company to help Bongo buy US-built armored vehicles and military transport aircraft. Barron-Birrell had collected more than $1 million from Bongo by the time Barron launched the ICCF in 2006.
A year and a half later, post-Abramoff reforms prohibited lobbyists and registered agents of foreign governments from leading groups devoted to educating lawmakers. To continue running the ICCF, Barron needed to document that he was no longer employed by foreign regimes. In September 2007, four days before the new rules became law, Barron filed nearly a decade’s worth of backdated reports on his work for African governments and declared that Barron-Birrell had closed up shop.
Today, Barron says he is “spending a lot of time in Africa,” though he adds that he hasn’t been paid by “any government in quite some time.” But thanks to another legal loophole, if Barron were to do any lobbying during those travels, he wouldn’t have to disclose it—as long as he did the actual glad-handing abroad. The law designed to keep track of such influence peddling only applies to lobbying activities on American soil. Overseas, representatives of foreign governments “can meet with [lawmakers] as much as they want and don’t have to report it,” explains Ben Freeman, a national-security investigator at the Project on Government Oversight.
“They’re telling Congress one thing; they’re telling the IRS another.”
Some uncertainty surrounds the financing of ICCF trips and events. When I sent the foundation’s tax returns to Marcus Owens, a Washington lawyer who ran the IRS division charged with supervising tax-exempt organizations, he noticed an “audit issue”: The ICCF’s filings in 2010 and 2011 list no payments for public officials’ travel. But congressional ethics filings say that the ICCF helped fund 24 overseas trips for lawmakers, their staffs, and their families during that period. The discrepancy indicates the “ICCF is lying to somebody,” Owens argues. “They’re telling Congress one thing; they’re telling the IRS another.”
Following my inquiries, the ICCF moved to correct its two most recent tax returns. “There has been absolutely no attempt to provide less than full disclosure for all reportable expenses for educational field missions involving participating officials,” Gantt says. The foundation’s accountants, Berlin Ramos & Co., claim they “misinterpreted the instructions” when they filed those “incorrect” returns.
The foundation’s audited financial statements could help explain the reason for the contradictory filings. The ICCF’s tax returns say it makes these statements “available to the public upon request.” But although I requested them six weeks before this story went to press, Gantt never provided the financial documents. That lack of disclosure worries Owens. What the group has released so far doesn’t offer “a particularly clear snapshot of what the organization does,” he says. “There’s something else going on here.”
Accounting issues aside, the ICCF has unquestionably succeeded in delivering benefits for its partners—including the four green groups on its Advisory Council. Working with Barron and the ICCF has opened doors. “They have been able to be a platform for some environmental groups to get in front of an audience that normally they would never have,” says the ex-GOP staffer.
That exposure helps the four groups collect tens of millions of dollars in government grants—for everything from improving conservation efforts in the Dominican Republic ($10 million) to minimizing the impact of coffee growing in Central America ($1.5 million)—every year. The ICCF also encourages member corporations to spend on conservation. Its glossy Partners in Conservation annual reports are replete with environmental projects funded by polluting corporations and administered by big green groups. The 3M Foundation, for example, touts the $21 million it has donated since 2001 to projects like Conservation International’s forest restoration work in southwest China and the Nature Conservancy’s efforts to protect savanna grasslands in Australia. Back home, though, 3M is fighting a lawsuit from Minnesota’s attorney general to force the manufacturing giant to pick up the tab for a toxic chemical cleanup that could cost up to $1 billion.
Given its work with polluting corporations and anti-environment politicians, it’s perhaps no surprise that the ICCF is careful to avoid important, politically charged conservation issues. “They have not taken any aggressive or controversial stands at all,” the former GOP aide notes. “In fact, that’s something that they really emphasize when they start off and try to explain themselves to a new member.” A 2011 letter recruiting lawmakers to join the ICC promised that it “does not take positions on specific legislation.” That’s even the case when ICC members have sponsored legislation that directly contradicts its stated goals: The ICCF highlights its commitment to end poaching, but neither the caucus nor the foundation spoke up when nearly 20 ICC members tried to roll back a law that punishes companies caught importing illegally harvested fish, animals, or plants.
“We’ve always been agnostic about” global warming, says Adam Brooks, ICCF’s communications director.
Climate change may be the most significant threat to the environment, but the ICCF avoids mention of it. “We’ve always been agnostic about” global warming, says Adam Brooks, the group’s communications director. “It’s just not something we discuss because of the sensitivity of our audience.” That might be tactically smart—as Glenn Hurowitz of the Tropical Forest and Climate Coalition notes, “There are certain members of Congress for whom mentioning climate change ends the conversation.” But it’s strategically shortsighted, warns Kierán Suckling, the executive director of the Center for Biological Diversity. Hobnobbing with oil executives and providing “green cover” to anti-environment lawmakers signals that the conservation community “is not serious enough about climate change to hold everybody accountable,” Suckling says. Environmental groups “have been fooled into thinking that the access that they get is actually influence. At the end of the day, they’re the ones that are influenced.”
Representatives from the four conservation organizations allied with the ICCF defend their ties; both the Nature Conservancy (where I interned in college) and Conservation International told me they were not aware of Barron’s past work.
In any case, the ICCF and its junkets are likely to remain a presence on Capitol Hill. In December, Bonner, the outgoing ethics committee chairman and Ol Jogi guest, announced new congressional regulations after a three-year review of privately sponsored travel. In a joint statement signed by Bonner and Linda Sánchez (D-Calif.), the top Democrat who green-lighted Bonner’s Kenyan adventure and many other ICCF junkets, the committee said it “gave significant consideration” to the question of nonprofit organizations funded by lobbyists and groups that lobby. In the end, the committee did not see a way to limit perks from nonprofits “with legitimate interests in providing appropriate fact finding opportunities to Members of Congress.” I asked Bonner what made the Ol Jogi trip “appropriate,” but he never responded. | positive |

It would be tempting for a gay Georgia resident to leave the South and head for California or the Northeast, where same-sex marriage and workplace non-discrimination policies are the law of the land. I can see my husband and I starting over in another state where we cannot be mistreated at work because of our sexual orientation, where we don’t pay additional state income taxes, and where our marriage to each other is recognized by the state.
For some people, it may be the healthiest option to move to such progressive states.
But I am not leaving.
Nearly 10 years after voters in Georgia and other Southern states banned same-sex marriage through state constitutional ballot referenda, my resolve to be a proud, married gay man living in the South has never been stronger. This resolve will endure, even as certain lawmakers consider allowing private business owners to deny services to gay customers on religious grounds.
Family is a Southern value, and that includes gay families. Marriage was such a cherished dream for my husband and me that we traveled to Washington, D.C., in 2010 to legally wed on our 10th anniversary. It took extra time and money — thousands of dollars we didn’t spend in Georgia — to make that wedding happen.
Still, we immediately headed back South afterwards.
The South is our home, and we deeply wanted to be close to our family as they age. What’s more, the South is where my heart belongs. It was in Georgia where my husband and I met on the steps of the University of Georgia student center at the age of 22 and fell in love — the same steps where I helped teach thousands of students how to “call the Dawgs” as a UGA freshmen orientation leader.
Georgia is where my husband and I bought our first home, struggled through difficult career paths and found jobs we love.
Here, among red-clay hills and sweet tea, my husband and I built a home filled with the lovely anecdotes and messy realness that define every marriage. Like many others, we believe marriage is about the freedom to create, nurture and sustain a family with the one you love.
Our weekends are filled with chores like vacuuming and bill paying, as well as Sunday suppers with family and friends.
When my husband is sick, I drive to Kroger at midnight to buy soup for him.
And it was in my grandparents’ country church that my husband sat in a wooden pew with me at my father’s funeral, holding my hand before I delivered the eulogy.
I am not giving this up. I am not giving up living within driving distance of my grandmother and mother — or my father’s grave — just because it will take time to bring marriage equality and workplace non-discrimination to gay workers to the South.
My husband and I are simply another Southern family, albeit one not recognized under state law … yet.
But change is coming.
We won’t see another generation of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender American youth living through the widespread degrading and humiliating experiences my generation experienced in terms of school bullying, job discrimination and roadblocks to marriage. Second-class citizenship for gays is destined for the fringe-element dustbin alongside racial segregation and opposition to voting rights for women.
The change will come from political organization and sharing our stories.
The more we offer our experiences, such as mistreatment by anti-gay employers and the homophobic violence that marked many of our childhoods, the more the reason for change will resonate with a fair majority of our fellow Southerners. | positive |

If you're planting a spring garden in the U.S. this year, you may want to set aside some extra seed money. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has updated its plant hardiness zone map for the first time since 1990, reflecting how some crops are moving north as winter grows warmer.
Despite all the long-term dangers associated with global warming, it does have a few short-term perks, such as helping some plant and animal species expand their range. And when life gives you lemons — which, incidentally, may now be easier to grow in Northern states — you make lemonade.
The new map was revealed this week at the National Arboretum in Washington, just in time for millions of home gardeners who are still thumbing through seed catalogs. It's a big change from the 1990 version, which many growers have long considered outdated since it's based on temperature data from 1974 to 1986. As the Associated Press points out, 18 of 34 cities listed on the old map are now in new zones, as are large swaths of some states, including Ohio, Nebraska and Texas.
"It is a good thing the government updated the map," Woodrow Nelson of the Arbor Day Foundation tells USA Today. "Our members have been noticing these climate changes for years and have been successfully growing new kinds of trees in places they wouldn't grow before."
Southern magnolias can increasingly survive in Pennsylvania, for example, while Iowa winters are less deadly to passion flowers, Japanese maples and Fraser firs. "There's a lot of things you can grow now that you couldn't grow before," Boston University biologist Richard Primack tells the AP. "People don't think of figs as a crop you can grow in the Boston area. You can do it now."
Here's what the 2012 plant hardiness zone map looks like (click to enlarge):
The version above uses temperature data from 1976 to 2005, but that's not the only reason it's more accurate. The USDA also factored in several other climate variables for the first time, including prevailing winds, slope of terrain, proximity to bodies of water and proximity to urban "heat islands." Plus, while the 1990 map was static, this year's update adds an interactive online version, letting users type in a ZIP code to get more precise averages of the coldest annual temperature in that area.
But even if the new map is a symptom of global warming, the USDA is quick to point out it shouldn't be taken as evidence. "Climate changes are usually based on trends in overall average temperatures recorded over 50-100 years," the USDA website explains. "Because the [new map] represents 30-year averages of what are essentially extreme weather events, changes in zones are not reliable evidence of whether there has been global warming."
Still, many farmers and gardeners say they already have all the evidence they need. "If you want to look at what might be the most politically correct thing, you can say 'something's happening,'" Charlie Nardozzi, a gardening consultant in Vermont, tells USA Today. "But the climate is changing. Spring is coming sooner and lasting longer. Fall lasts longer, and overall the weather is so much more erratic now." And George Ball, chairman and CEO of the W. Atlee Burpee seed company, tells the AP that climate change "is not big news to gardeners."
2012 may be a good year to challenge your green thumb, then, and try out some crops that would've been impossible to grow a few decades ago. Growers might as well make the most of climate change, even if its benefits can never match its overall toll. But since weather trends are expected to grow less predictable and more extreme as the planet heats up — and many experts believe they already have — it's better not to invest too heavily in any one crop, old or new.
"There's definitely a changing climate," Nardozzi says. "But that doesn't mean we won't have a harsh winter again that could kill all their plants."

Are you ready to open your mind? are you ready to embrace the power of the cosmos?
So this deck is my most recent obsession, in large part because I can't believe I have built a functioning The Professor: Keeper of Knowledge deck.
The title is because there are so many cards that reference magic in this deck including: Reaver, Rebirth, Baba Yaga, Faerie, Yog.0 which is a reference to the silver key, Imp, Medium, Progenitor, Sahasrara.
With all this magic the The Professor: Keeper of Knowledge must be the Sorcerer Supreme.
I have upgraded this deck from Tier 2 to Tier 1.5. A bold claim I know but bear with me here.
Every single turn with this deck is either a race or a puzzle. In most games my opponent will get to 4 or 5 points with me at 2 as I race to set up and then I lock them and there is no way for them to win. You need to trigger Reaver on both turns every turn if you can. Clickless draws are critical.
I say its a puzzle because you have to know what to pawn and how to advance your board state while maintaining pressure. It took me a while but with some tips from some top tier players I think I am a sorcerer now. In the late game its all about maintaining remote threat and RD pressure with Progenitor and Medium so agendas pile up in HQ where there will likely be 1-2 ice.
EVENTS
Diesel Gives you flames. Cast fireball.
Levy AR Lab Access Helps you reset the clock if you drew all your sweet one ofs in the wrong order. Also lets you drive home the misery when you have someone Clot locked and they finally purge through the Sacrificial Construct. Rarely used except against net damage and and aggressive purgers
Rebirth: This card is so strong in professor its crazy. Who to pick is not easy and largely dependent on a good read of the current board and where both boards are going. If I need to maintain money to beat traces and its early I pick Kate "Mac" McCaffrey: Digital Tinker, if its early and I need to set up fast to keep pace with a corp its Hayley Kaplan: Universal Scholar, If I am set up and they have multisub barriers on the outside I pick Rielle "Kit" Peddler: Transhuman, if its late and I have already levy'd then its Ele "Smoke" Scovak: Cynosure of the Net, If I lost any pawned memchips to Chronos or ark lockdown then its Chaos Theory: Wünderkind.
Scavenge was a suggestion from @spags which is such a lifesaver as a one of. It enables me to save my Clone Chip for setting up and then scavenge something to trigger Reaver to reinstall clot after the Sacrificial Construct go down. It also lets me put my breakers down early to contest remotes and then reinstall them to host on Baba Yaga.
HARDWARE
Akamatsu Mem Chip Goes down easy and pawns real smooth in a pinch for draw and money. That guy Aesop needs to work on his haggling.
Astrolabe helps you accelerate while giving easy memory. If people wanna play some FIHP bullshit you can let them go, all they are doing is helping you set up and lock them down.
Clone Chip Hey kids, the professor can't go below 1 influence so pack that deck with clones. Set up fast, activate Reaver on your opponents turn. Gotta go fast. SMC is the most common target, with Cache and Parasite in second/third.
CyberSolutions Mem Chip Was another @spags suggestion. It enables me to go full big rig against glacier and also frees me up to pawn the Akamatsu Mem Chip if I drew in good order and my daemons kept the MU count low.
RESOURCES
I love Aesop's Pawnshop, I really do. It has probably been my favorite resource since the core set because it suits the way I like to play. I like to include a lot of situation tools or temporary cards, Aesop's makes those cards better by giving you a return on their installs later. This concept is illustrated in the Hayley Pitchfork builds or the pre-MWL Noise builds. However, the fact that the Professor does not pay influence for Reaver increases the return on a toolbox deck from 3c to 3c AND clickless draw! Anyone who has played shaper knows that slow set ups is what costs you games. Even though shaper has the best tutors, you still need to draw them. Most of the draw cards you have are expensive (Professional Contacts. Quality Time). You start your turn + 3 creds and +1 card with a full compliment of clicks. ALWAYS HOLD AN EXTRA COPY, if you lose this its GG.
Beth Kilrain-Chang since you are letting corps try to race you early for most of the game this will be either a free card or a free click (which is a more flexible draw)
Film Critic Keeps New Angeles City Hall alive so you don't get your set up ruined by 24/7 or regular Breaking News BS. Also, I am terrible at PSI games and I hate taking fetal damage.
The answer to all questions about how this deck deals with X is Sacrificial Construct. How does this deck deal with Best Defense? Sac con. How does this deck deal with FA? Sac Con. How does this deck deal with Batty? Sac Con. How does this deck deal with applying pressure and being forced to use Faerie before its on Baba Yaga? Sac con. I had three and I might go back. The card does a tremendous amount of work in this build. However, the only thing I can cut is Harbinger.
Same Old Thing Makes it so you can recur Scavenge or Levy AR Lab Access. Its there to keep me safe from net damage trashing levy. If I don't need to use it I pawn it for 3c and a card. #value
Technical Writer is a doomsday clock ticking during your set up. Corps watch these quickly climb as you install your pieces for net of zero cost with Sahasrara and Scheherazade and know the lock is coming. What usually happens is when I am ready to flick the switch I install the last breaker or two on Baba and then use a tech writer to gain 15 + credits and immediately hit each server I can to force the corp to tear through all their cash.
SPELLS... I mean PROGRAMS
If you are a planes-walking sorcerer you need some magic using friends. Baba Yaga is a pretty terrifying friend to have. She gains the paid ability of everything you host but none of the card text. This is important because it means Baba does not have the central only restriction of Breach, the trash after use text of Faerie or the set strength of Yog.0. What she does get is the ability to spend 0 credits breaking all subs on codegates and sentries and the ability to either boost 2 for 4 STR with breach and to hit odd number STRs using the 1 for 1 STR of Faerie.
Baba Yaga becomes your lock. You can get anywhere incredibly cheap making no remote safe with Imp and using the combo of Progenitor and Medium to have a permanent RDI that can get to back to 5 accesses every turn. As an example, people are fond of the unique Fairchild right now, this rig breaks that ice for 4 credits. 2x 2c for 4 STR to get to 8 and then Yog.0 breaks all subs for zero. It also breaks the ubiquitous Fairchild 3.0 for 3c. It breaks DNA tracker for 4 instead of the 7 that it costs Gordian Blade and ichi 1.0 is 2C to break.
Breach gives the primary strength boost and the only source of inefficiency in the deck in the form of its 2 for 3 subs barrier break.
Faerie gets a lot better when it never trashes. This deck breaks Archer for 4 credits.
MKUltra is my emergency killer but also...my primary late game econ. In the late game I will pawn this every turn for three credits and a card. Run a server with a sentry, reinstall it for free with Sahasrara onto Scheherazade, gaining one. I will break it with the Baba rig and then repawn it the next turn. So if there is any sentry on a server you want to run you get 4 credits and a card each turn for zero clicks.
So Yog.0 is really expensive and it can't even break the most popular code gates anymore! unless you can use dark sorcery to make it any strength you need it be. Yog.0 is the primary source of efficiency in this deck. Most taxing ice in the current meta is codegates and this deck shreds them.
Cache Makes money and makes your Reaver draws off Clone Chip even more profitable.
Clot is you dark master in this deck, you protect this card with your life. You recur it at all costs. I have trashed breakers to get this back on the board. You can always get things back but agendas have to be in servers for you to steal them. It is crushing when you Rebirth into Hayley Kaplan: Universal Scholar and they forgot your ability and as they FA you Clone Chipa Cache and piggy back clot into play from your hand. 10/10 would summon again.
D4v1d is my Turing breaker. The rig is strong enough to break anything else but it can't break Turing.
Harbinger 7 (Scheherazade) credits and 2 draws for no cost. Seems good.
Imp is really good at trashing expensive things while setting up like SanSan grid or Crisium without taxing you any dollars. Also pawns well.
Medium is your pressure, its your Magic Missile, it always hits the target with your cheap rig and it makes people freak out.
Parasite is for resistors and wraparounds so I don't have to pay 2c for them. It also is my swordsman removal tool.
Progenitor Saves you MU for Medium or Imp and makes one counter purge proof which is really damn good. Cleansing can't affect our magic!
Reaver is the core of this deck. Anytime you trash a card you draw. Your card, corp card, any card. Fire it early and often. Mulligan for it.
Sahasrara was the jank card I had the hardest time getting used to. However, after I started treated it as my second priority after Reaver I found my games going a lot better. With Technical Writer and Scheherazade and most of my pieces being 2 or 3 c it makes everything you install a net profit on TW.
Scheherazade has been discussed a lot already, put stuff on it and get an effective price reduction.
Self-modifying Code will fly on and off the board as you grab your toolbox pieces. If you can try to fire them on your opponent's turn so you get a Reaver draw.
CONCLUSION
Try the deck, its not for everyone but its definitely not bad and its definitely the most fun I have had playing runner. | positive |

BHUBANESWAR: As the Centre geared up to bring back Kohinoor diamond from London, priests of Jagannath Temple in Puri have renewed their longstanding demand of placing the famed jewel on the crown of Lord Jagannath. The priests on Sunday staged a demonstration in front of the 12th century shrine and demanded the diamond be returned to the temple administration.According to a letter preserved in the National Archives in New Delhi, Maharaja Ranjit Singh, who ruled large parts of northern India in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, had wished to offer the Kohinoor, to Lord Jagannath. The British, however, took away the diamond from Ranjit Singh's son, Duleep Singh, in 1849.“Kohinoor is Lord Jagannath’s property as it was offered to the deity by Maharaja Ranjit Singh. The temple was recipient of a huge amount of gold from the Sikh ruler. The Odisha government should take up the issue with the Centre and take steps to bring Kohinoor back to Jagannath Temple,” said Sitikantha Panda, a priest.“We have historical records in which Maharaja Ranjit Singh wished to donate the Kohinoor to Jagannath Temple. The Shree Jagannath Temple Administration should take the initiative for its return,” said Harekrushna Pratihari, another priest.The shrine priests, who gathered outside the temple under the aegis of Jagannath Sena, a religious outfit, took a dig at the state government for its lackadaisical attitude towards Kohinoor. “Several times in the past we raised the issue of Kohinoor, whose original place is Jagannath Temple. But the state government never staked claim,” said Jagannath Sena’s founder Priyadarshan Pattnaik.The 105 carat Kohinoor, now adorning the crown of the British monarch, has been kept under tight security in the Tower of London in Britain. Odisha Congress too joined the priests’ bandwagon of Kohinoor’s return to Jagannath Temple. “The jewel is Lord Jagannath's property and should be handed over by the British government to Jagannath Temple,” said state Congress president Prasad Harichandan. | positive |
Irish authorities say two blonde children taken from Roma families were later returned to them after tests confirmed their biological links.
A seven-year-old girl and a two-year-old boy were each removed from their families in Ireland this week following public tip-offs, sparking warnings about racial profiling following the case of a blonde girl found in a Roma camp in Greece who was unrelated to the people she was living with.
Police said on Wednesday the girl and boy were both returned to their Roma families in Ireland after "confirmation of their established biological identities". The media said both moves followed DNA testing.
Police said they take "extremely serious all reports received from members of the public concerning child welfare issues" and that its policy regarding "this sensitive and challenging area" was under constant review.
Roma communities in different countries are in the spotlight after the discovery last week of the girl in a Roma camp in Greece, known as Maria and dubbed the "blonde angel" by Greek media. | positive |

Federal authorities announced Tuesday they will not prosecute administrators connected to a webcam spying scandal at a suburban Philadelphia school district.
Prosecutors and the FBI opened an inquiry following a February privacy lawsuit accusing Lower Merion School District officials of spying on students with webcams on the 2,300 district-issued MacBooks. The lawyers who filed the lawsuit claim the district secretly snapped thousands of webcam images of students, including images of youths at home, in bed or even "partially dressed."
Zane David Memeger, the United States attorney for the Easter District of Pennsylvania, said he found no criminal intent in the alleged surveillance.
"I have concluded that bringing criminal charges is not warranted in this matter," Memeger said in a statement. "For the government to prosecute a criminal case, it must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the person charged acted with criminal intent. We have not found evidence that would establish beyond a reasonable doubt that anyone involved had criminal intent."
When the story first broke in February, the district said the LanRev program tracking cameras were activated only a handful of times when a laptop was reported stolen or missing.
Mark Haltzman, the lawyer suing the district, said Memeger's decision underscores the need to bolster privacy legislation.
He added that he does not believe Tuesday's developments will affect his case, brought on behalf of a sophomore student.
"Did OJ Simpson get sued when he was found innocent of criminal charges?" Haltzman asked in a telephone interview. "One has to do with criminal law; the other has to do with civil statutes."
"I think what this means is that the existing laws have flaws," he added.
In February, the district deactivated the LanRev theft tracking software secretly installed on student laptops.
Haltzman's suit was based on a claim by sophomore Blake Robbins that school officials reprimanded him for "improper behavior" based on photos the computer secretly took of the boy at home last fall. That "behavior" turned out to be pill popping, Haltzman said. The family said their son was eating Mike and Ike candy. | positive |
There will be another spectacular terrorist attack in the UK at some stage and hundreds, if not thousands, will be killed.
That's according to Chris Phillips, former head of the National Counter-Terrorism Security Office.
He made the comment after it was revealed that security services foiled a plot to blow up Downing Street and kill Theresa May. This is said to be the ninth terrorist plot foiled since March.
Phillips told Julia Hartley-Brewer: "I really think we’re going to have a spectacular terrorist attack at some stage where hundreds maybe even thousands of people are injured."
He continued by saying that the terrorists who perpetrated the Barcelona massacre in August had intended to detonate three large vehicle bombs, and if something like that actually happens "then you get thousands of people killed and injured. I’m convinced we're going to see that at some stage.
"Let’s think about this now and do something now whilst we’re not in that position.
"It needs some brave governments to come up with some control orders or something much stricter than we’ve got at the moment that does put people who are concerning [to the authorities] under much tighter guidelines.
"That’s not being done at the moment in fact the Conservatives watered down the control orders...and that’s rubbish, they are absolutely rubbish.
"Certainly I would consider that we need to do something about those people that we’re really scared of but have not yet committed offences."

MISSOULA, Mont. - A man has been charged in the shooting death of a 17-year-old boy after prosecutors said he set a trap in his garage to catch any would-be burglars because he was frustrated over recent thefts.
Markus Kaarma, 29, made an initial appearance in Justice Court on Monday but did not enter a plea to the count of felony deliberate homicide filed in the death of Diren Dede, an exchange student from Hamburg, Germany.
Kaarma's attorney, Paul Ryan, said his client feels terrible about the death of the young man, but he was also was disappointed that the Missoula County attorney filed the charge.
Ryan told CBS affiliate KPAX his client will plead not guilty and will fight the charge all the way.
Court records said Kaarma and his common-law wife, Janelle Pflager, had set up sensors outside the garage, a video monitoring system in the garage and left the garage door open. Pflager said she put personal items that she had cataloged in a purse in the garage "so that they would take it."
Early Sunday, the sensors went off, and Kaarma and Pflager looked at the video feed and saw that someone was in the garage.
Kaarma went outside with his shotgun. He told investigators he heard a noise that sounded like metal on metal, and he was afraid the intruder would come out and hurt him. He said he did not see anyone in the darkened garage and did not communicate with anyone before sweeping the garage with four shotgun blasts.
According to an affidavit filed by prosecutors, Pflager told investigators that Kaarma yelled into the garage, and that someone responded either "hey" or "wait." Soon after, Kaarma fired four shots into the dark garage, she said.
Dede was struck in the head and arm and died at a Missoula hospital, court records said.
Kaarma said he didn't want the suspect to get away and added that police can't catch burglars in the act, the affidavit filed Monday said.
Pflager told police that they had been burglarized two times within the last three weeks. Ryan said.
They were frustrated, on edge and felt someone in their neighborhood was watching them, Ryan said. The couple called police "and nothing was done," he said.
Pflager had made a list of the items in the purse so if it was taken she could attempt to track the thief, Ryan said. Despite the recent burglaries, they left the garage door open, prosecutors noted.
"They certainly didn't tell the kid to come in (the garage)," Ryan said. "He entered voluntarily."
Dede was a junior at Big Sky High School. He was an All-State soccer player and also competed in track. Monday was a scheduled day off in the Missoula County Public School District, but KPAX said counselors were made available to students.
On Sunday, a woman told investigators that Kaarma had told her that he had been waiting up for three nights with his shotgun to shoot a kid, court records said.
Justice of the Peace Karen Orzech set Kaarma's bail at $30,000.
Kaarma's arrest comes as a man is on trial in Minnesota for fatally shooting two teenage intruders in his Little Falls home. Byron Smith, 65, is charged with first-degree premeditated murder in the deaths of 18-year-old Haile Kifer and 17-year-old Nick Brady.
Smith contends he was defending himself when he shot the two cousins in his basement because he feared for his life after several break-ins. Prosecutors say he lay in wait for the teens. | positive |

In uneasy news for medical marijuana users, UC Davis researchers have identified potentially lethal bacteria and mold on samples from 20 Northern California pot growers and dispensaries, leading the doctors to warn patients with weakened immune systems to avoid smoking, vaping or inhaling aerosolized cannabis.
“For the vast majority of cannabis users, this is not of great concern,” said Dr. George Thompson, professor in the UC Davis Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology. But those with weakened immune systems – such as from leukemia, lymphoma, AIDS or cancer treatments – could unwittingly be exposing themselves to serious lung infections when they smoke or vape medical marijuana.
“We strongly advise them to avoid it,” Thompson said.
The study’s findings were published online in a research letter in the journal Clinical Microbiology and Infection.

It comes as California and a majority of states have eased laws on medical and recreational marijuana use, and a majority of U.S. doctors support the use of medical marijuana to relieve patients’ symptoms, such as pain, nausea and loss of appetite during chemotherapy and other treatments.
Typically, patients with lower-functioning immune systems are advised to avoid unwashed fruits or vegetables and cut flowers because they may harbor potentially harmful bacteria and mold, or fungi. Marijuana belongs in that same risk category, according to Thompson.
“Cannabis is not on that list and it’s a big oversight, in our opinion,” Thompson said. “It’s basically dead vegetative material and always covered in fungi.”
The study began several years ago after Dr. Joseph Tuscano, a UC Davis blood cancer specialist, began seeing leukemia patients who were developing rare, very severe lung infections. One patient died.
Suspecting there might be a link between the infections and his patients’ use of medical marijuana, Tuscano teamed with Thompson to study whether soil-borne pathogens might be hiding in medical marijuana samples.
The marijuana was gathered from 20 Northern California growers and dispensaries by Steep Hill Labs, a cannabis testing company in Berkeley. It was distilled into DNA samples and sent to UC Davis for analysis, which found multiple kinds of bacteria and fungi, some of which are linked to serious lung infections.
There was a “surprisingly” large number of bacteria and mold, said Donald Land, a UC Davis chemistry professor who is chief scientific consultant for Steep Hill Labs.
The analysis found numerous types of bacteria and fungi, including organic pathogens that can lead to a particularly deadly infection known as Mucor.
“There’s a misconception by people who think that because it’s from a dispensary, then it must be safe. That’s not the case,” said UC Davis’ Tuscano. “This is potentially a direct inoculation into the lungs of these contaminated organisms, especially if you use a bong or vaporization technique.”
Patients with compromised immune systems are especially susceptible to infections, usually acquired in their environment or in the hospital. But given the testing results, Tuscano said, it’s possible that even some of the more common infections, such as aspergillus, could also be attributed to contaminated medical marijuana.
Tuscano emphasized that until more research is done, he can’t be 100 percent assured that contaminated cannabis caused the infections, but “it’s highly suspicious.”
Under California’s Proposition 64, the voter-approved initiative that eased restrictions on personal marijuana use, the state is expected to have cannabis testing regulations in place for medical marijuana by Jan. 1.
“Patient safety is one of our chief concerns in this process,” said Alex Traverso, spokesman for the state Bureau of Medical Cannabis Regulation, in an email. He said the state’s new medical-marijuana testing standards will soon be available for public review. “We welcome everyone’s input to ensure that testing standards are as strong as we need them to be.”
Until then, consumers are largely on their own.
The vast majority of cannabis sold in California is not tested, according to Land.
“You can’t tell what’s in (a marijuana product) by looking at it, smelling it, feeling it, or a person in a dispensary telling you it’s safe or clean,” he said. “The only way to ensure you have a safe, clean product is to test it and be sure it’s handled according to good manufacturing practices.”
Some medical marijuana clinics already do voluntary testing of their products. Kimberly Cargile, director of A Therapeutic Alternative, a medical marijuana clinic in Sacramento, said a sample from every incoming pound of pot is sent to a local, independent testing lab.
“It’s for consumer protection. It’s a healthy first step,” Cargile said.
To avoid the risk of exposure to severe lung infections, Thompson and Tuscano advise cancer patients and others with hampered immune systems to avoid smoking, vaping or inhaling aerosolized cannabis altogether. Cannabis edibles, such as baked cookies or brownies, could be a safer alternative.
Theoretically, Thompson said, the consumption of cooked edibles seems safer than smoking or vaping, but it’s not scientifically proven.
“I give that advice with a caveat: We don’t know it’s safer; we think it probably is,” he said.
For patients heeding the UC Davis advice to avoid smoking or vaping medical marijuana, “it’s always better to err on the side of caution,” said medical marijuana advocate Cargile. There are plenty of alternatives, she noted, including cannabis salves, lotions, sprays, tinctures and suppositories. | positive |

Tips for a Stress-free Transition July 14, 2022 Thinking of moving to Gwinnett? You’re not alone! Cities among Gwinnett have quickly become popular destinations for families looking for a change of scenery. And why shouldn’t it? Gwinnett truly is an incredible place to call home, from its beautiful urban, suburban, and natural sceneries to the thriving restaurant and entertainment scenes, there is something for everyone! There’s nothing quite comparable to living in a county that has a massive lake, mountains and trails, and many scenic parks! Whether you’re moving from out of state or just from one suburb to the other, here are a few moving tips for renters to help make your move to Gwinnett go that much smoother. Get To Know the Neighborhood First Gwinnett has a lot of great neighborhoods and suburbs; Lawrenceville, Snellville, Suwanee, Buford, Dacula, Grayson, Lilburn, and many more! However, if you’re not familiar with the area, you could wind up signing a lease on a home in an area that doesn’t fit your needs. Maybe the commute is too long, or the surrounding traffic is too loud. Make sure to get to know the neighborhood you’re looking into as best you can before falling in love with a particular home. Visit it at different times of the day to get a better feel for the area. Research commute times during rush hour to make sure the drive isn’t more than you’re willing to commit to. You’re agreeing to at least a one-year commitment; it makes sense to ensure you like the area you’re going to call home. Make Sure to Inspect the Home Thoroughly You’ve found a rental in Gwinnett you absolutely love and are approved for it! Now what? Once you’ve signed the lease and have the keys, the real challenge begins. Moving is stressful for a reason and it’s easy to forget things amid the rush to settle in. With that being said, make sure you take the time to inspect and document the condition of your new home. Take pictures and talk to your landlord or property manager if any issues arise. You don’t want to be held responsible for something preexisting, so be sure to document things thoroughly and return your move-in inspection form to your landlord or property manager in the allotted time. Declutter Before You Pack Packing up things you don’t need takes up time and space, adding additional stress. That’s why moving is a great time to declutter and get rid of things you don’t need or use anymore. When it comes time to pack, evaluate each item carefully. Have you used it recently? Does it still have value? Will it be useful in your next home? If not, don’t spend the time and effort packing it up. Donate it if it’s still useable and trash it if it’s not. There are many donation companies in Gwinnett that will gladly haul away your unwanted items for a small fee! Set Aside the Essentials The last thing you want is to get moved in and realize you forgot to leave out your toothbrush or your pjs. Make sure to set aside the essentials- clothing, hairbrush, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc.- in a separate bag or suitcase to avoid any unnecessary trips to the store. Don’t Forget About Your Pets Moving is stressful for everyone, your pets included. Make sure to remember their needs in all the chaos. Have a separate plan for them to help ease some of the stress, including packing a bag for them with their food, treats, bowls, toys, etc. that are easily accessible. When moving day comes, try to keep them safe and out of the way to avoid escapes. And when settling into your new home, remember to give them time to adjust. Moving to Gwinnett provides a great opportunity for renters looking for a new place to call home. So, whether you’re moving here from across the country or just from down the street, make sure to follow these simple moving tips to help make the transition as smooth as possible!

A publicist for actor Danny Masterson suggested that the “That 70’s Show” alum isn’t guilty of rape because he was dating one of his accusers, Huffington Post reported Wednesday.
Huffington Post reported earlier this month that Masterson is the subject of a criminal investigation into allegations of rape by four women. One of the accusers is Chrissie Bixler, who dated Masterson for six years and claimed that he raped her while she was unconscious during their relationship.
“Well, Chrissie was Danny’s girlfriend at the time, so there’s really nothing, there’s no story there,” publicist Jenni Weinman said in an October 2016 call acquired by the Huffington Post.
Bixler said the Church of Scientology, to which she belonged at the time, convinced her that the assault wasn’t rape. Last year, Bixler posted a tweet saying “Because your boyfriend tells you it’s not rape if you’re in a relationship and then his church covers it up.”

Weinman has been Masterson's publicist for about 20 years.
Weinman’s comments come in the wake of sexual misconduct allegations against a litany of politicians and media figures, including Charlie Rose, Louis C.K., Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, Sen. Al Franken Alan (Al) Stuart FrankenVirginia can be better than this Harris off to best start among Dems in race, say strategists, donors Virginia scandals pit Democrats against themselves and their message MORE (D-Minn.) and Senate candidate Roy Moore. | positive |

Then he talked of having a plan to buy The New York Times. He has said the paper, which has published investigations into the enormous wealth amassed by the relatives of Chinese leaders, should be "more authentic and objective" in its coverage of China.
Inside a hotel ballroom, Chen began by singing a song he wrote himself, which included the soaring lyric, "The whole world will witness my Chinese dream!"
Chen Guangbiao, who made his fortune in recycling, introduced the two women to U.S. and Chinese reporters at an unorthodox and sometimes tense news conference Tuesday at a hotel near Central Park.
NEW YORK, N.Y. - A business tycoon who bills himself as China's No. 1 philanthropist told reporters in New York that he has brought two women to the U.S. to undergo surgery for disfiguring burns they suffered when they set themselves on fire in Beijing's Tiananmen Square in 2001.

NEW YORK, N.Y. - A business tycoon who bills himself as China's No. 1 philanthropist told reporters in New York that he has brought two women to the U.S. to undergo surgery for disfiguring burns they suffered when they set themselves on fire in Beijing's Tiananmen Square in 2001.
Chen Guangbiao, who made his fortune in recycling, introduced the two women to U.S. and Chinese reporters at an unorthodox and sometimes tense news conference Tuesday at a hotel near Central Park.
Inside a hotel ballroom, Chen began by singing a song he wrote himself, which included the soaring lyric, "The whole world will witness my Chinese dream!"
Then he talked of having a plan to buy The New York Times. He has said the paper, which has published investigations into the enormous wealth amassed by the relatives of Chinese leaders, should be "more authentic and objective" in its coverage of China.
He also warned Americans not to trust the government of Japan, which is involved in a territorial dispute with China over several remote islands.
Finally, Chen had the two women display their horrific burns, which seared off their hands and left their faces masks of scarred flesh.
Outside in the cold, dozens of practitioners of the Falun Gong spiritual movement picketed the event, saying the two burn victims were propaganda tools of the Chinese government.
The women, Hao Huijun and her daughter Chen Guo, were among a group of people who set themselves on fire in the square amid the Chinese government's brutal crackdown on Falun Gong practitioners. One woman and her 12-year-old daughter died.
Months later, the survivors were paraded before reporters by Chinese authorities to denounce Falun Gong as a cult and say they had been deceived into a suicide attempt. The Tiananmen Square incident became the centerpiece of a campaign by Chinese authorities to justify oppression of Falun Gong practitioners.
In brief remarks to reporters in New York, Hao and Chen condemned Falun Gong again.
Some reporters for U.S.-based Chinese media asked the women whether they were actually government plants who staged the immolations to discredit the movement.
"The self-immolation was our own fault," Chen said, through a translator. "We acted on our own behaviour."

Chen said he planned to spend more than $2 million on medical care for the women and brought them to New York because doctors here had said they could restore the women to 80 per cent of their former appearance.
In China, Chen is known as much for his energetic efforts to publicize his charity activities as he is for his giving.
After the devastating 2008 Sichuan earthquake, Chen handed out cash to survivors, then posted photos of them on his website. Critics accused him of harming their dignity, while defenders said Chen's publicity efforts encouraged other wealthy Chinese to give.
Chen has no obvious ties to the ruling Communist Party, but some of his activities are politically tinged.
In 2011, he visited Taiwan and gave $344,000 to the poor on the street, according to Taiwanese media. The money was in envelopes that said "the Chinese people are one family," which some took as a call to reunite the self-ruled island with the communist mainland.
The same year, Chen flew to Japan to give 13 million yen ($150,000) for tsunami aid. According to the newspaper Yangtze Evening News, he travelled around the disaster area in vans draped in giant Chinese flags. | positive |

Update: behold the shelling...
Shelling is reported to have started on the eastern outskirts of Mariupol, Ukraine, according to local reporters on social media. This crucial city, due to its standing as the last major city standing in the way of a land connection to Crimea (from Russia) across the Southern border. Furthermore, Mariupol's strategic importance as a port and major industrial city is crucial to Kiev who are reinforcing the city after losing Novoazovsk last week, with the Ukrainian army on full alert. NATO has been actively sabre-rattling this morning, pulling a full Draghi by threatening to do "whatever it takes" to defend ourselves and our allies, and offering training and support for Ukraine (as they report over 3,000 Russian troops in Ukraine). Escalation?
Furthermore,
"Apparently, the rebel tanks have left Novoazovsk several hours ago and are moving towards Mariupol now. Their current position is unclear:” freelance journalist Petr Shelomovskiy says in Twitter post
"Artillery and tank fire audible on eastern edge of Mariupol. Ukrainians say 4 armored columns advancing towards Shirokina. Hint of panic:" France 24 journalist Robert Parsons says in Twitter post
NATO has some comments too...
“We have left no doubt that we will do whatever it takes to defend ourselves,” NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen says.
Rasmussen: “Russia’s aggression against Ukraine has been a wake-up call. It has reminded all of us that our freedom, security and prosperity cannot be taken for granted. Some are trying to redraw dividing lines in Europe with force”
Terrorism, Middle East turmoil, Russia’s aggression, the threats of cyber-warfare confront NATO with a “climate of chaos” on its borders, he says
Rasmussen: “We will adopt a readiness-action plan that will make our forces faster, fitter and more flexible, ready to address any challenges, whenever they come and from wherever they come”
Rasmussen: Readiness plan to center on “a military unit that can be deployed at very short notice if needed. It would be followed by more forces if needed”
NATO will step up cooperation with Ukraine, help build up and advise Ukraine’s military, he says
Rasmussen: “We will adopt a substantial package for Georgia, a package that will bring Georgia closer to NATO, including a defense-capacity initiative, establishing a training center in Georgia, occasionally also exercises in Georgia”
Rasmussen: “I see NATO as an alliance with a global perspective, not as a global policeman. We can’t solve all crises all over the world” | positive |
The Cleveland Browns got screwed by a fumble call, when the ball was already in the possession of Duke Johnson and he stood up, while players fought for something else in a pile. To most rational people who can watch something with their own eyes, that’s what happened.
However, rather than just acknowledge the mistake and move on (something that has happened many times in the past), the NFL is bizarrely digging its heels in on this one.
Here was the statement last night (via Mary Kay Cabot)
#Nfl explanation of Duke Johnson fumble ruling pic.twitter.com/cwm7TPFKsU — Mary Kay Cabot (@MaryKayCabot) October 2, 2016
This morning, Ian Rapoport, who works for the league with the NFL Network, added this.
#Browns debated Duke Johnson fumble was reviewed today. There is no evidence of a CLE player recovering it in the pile. Just out of the pile — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) October 3, 2016
We’ll get to the “no evidence” part in a bit. He then claimed (while tweeting a story with a photo showing Johnson already standing and holding the ball while the signal is made) that the call was made before Johnson emerged from the pile. It most certainly was not.
The play (here: https://t.co/GH35FW1kTC) was ruled a WAS recovery. There’s no view of Johnson recovering it. Call was made before he emerged — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) October 3, 2016
First, here’s another angle showing the fumble, and appearing to show the ball bounce right back into Duke Johnson’s arms. That would also be the only way he could have then immediately stood up with the ball, while players continued to pile up.
Here’s a time sequence of the play. At 9:35 on the game clock, the pile begins to form. Line judge Sarah Thomas can be seen running in from the sideline at this point, and you can see Duke Johnson (with the “9” on his 29 jersey showing below Browns #62). No whistle has blown, and the clock is still running.
He immediately starts to get up, with the ball, and by the 9:33 mark on the clock, two seconds later, is standing fully upright with the ball in his right hand. Thomas is starting to arrive at the pile, and the whistle has not blown yet, and the clock is still running.
At 9:32 of the 4th quarter, Thomas blows the whistle and starts waving her hands, and the clock stops. A Browns lineman can be seen pointing at the ball in Johnson’s hand while everyone is staring at the pile and fighting for something else.
Thus, at the point the whistle blew, we had a clear recovery, I mean as clear as possible. And contrary to what Rapoport said, he has emerged with the ball well before any call was made.
Thomas then signals that the ball belongs to Washington, after the clock has stopped.
Since it was a fumble, Hue Jackson could not challenge the recovery. He can be seen on the broadcast asking the officials to take a look. The game did not stop and Washington took the field and ran a play soon after. Jackson could then be seen talking to Thomas on the sideline, appearing to disagree with whatever version she was claiming, on the fumble recovery.
We won’t know for sure if this is general stubbornness by the NFL to acknowledge that something was called incorrectly, or if it is motivated by the fact that it was Thomas, who is in her 2nd year in the league and is the only female official among the NFL officiating crews.
For most people, that should not matter. She is in the NFL on her merits and should be subject to the same review as all others. Yes, there is a segment of society that will complain about her because she is a woman, but the NFL shouldn’t let fear of a subset drive just acknowledging the call. It’s unfair to her. This would be less of a story if it were acknowledged immediately.
After all, this was part of a crew and there are several eyes on the field to prevent this. Mistakes are made by humans, but the levels of safeguards and review should minimize them. I don’t know what she thought she saw in the pile to award possession to Washington. But others on Jeff Triplette’s crew could have seen Duke Johnson already out of the pile and helped point that out, even after she pointed Washington’s way. We’ve seen calls changed on the field on many occasions. The replay crew also could have corrected the error.
That statement by the NFL doesn’t match the plain facts. We’ve seen plenty of reviews to determine if there was a clear recovery after a whistle blew a play dead for an incorrect incomplete call or down by contact. Here, the video of the game showed a clear recovery even before any whistle was blown.
The NFL has blown it here, and made it a bigger story by their bizarre response. | positive |

Production of showreels Showreels (and animation showreel) are commonly used in the entertainment industry in such fields as acting, directing, cinematography, editing, special effects, animation, video games and graphics production.

Pine Mouth Revisited
by Michael Y. Park
A little while ago, I wrote up something about the phenomenon people are calling "pine mouth": the bizarre metallic taste people get in their mouths after eating certain pine nuts. It's extremely unpleasant, it can last for weeks, but it doesn't seem to be permanent. Since then, it seems like more and more people are experiencing pine mouth. Many folks seemed to be complaining that they had it happen after getting pine nuts from certain distributors, so I called them up and tried to figure out if they or anyone else could figure out what was going on. Here's what I found. A couple complaints came about FreshDirect pine nuts, so I talked to FreshDirect's corporate HQ, and here's what their spokeswoman told me: "We have seen in the media that there have been issues raised about the taste of pine nuts imported from China. At FreshDirect, we always work to find the best products at the best prices for our customers. And, while FreshDirect has carried pine nuts from China in the past, we no longer carry them." Also, many complaints seemed to come from those who'd eaten Trader Joe's pine nuts in the last couple months. (I've eaten plenty of Trader Joe's pine nuts in the past few months and never had a problem, but the way.) I called up the Trader Joe's people, but they told me that they don't discuss their business practices. But here's an interesting twist: A lot of people who've had pine mouth have pointed the finger at pine nuts from China. (Most pine nuts come from either the Chinese-Russian border or Turkey, I've been told.) Trader Joe's stopped using products from China by Jan. 1, 2008 (remember when Chinese melamine contamination and the like was the biggest product-safety fear?). The company now uses two varieties of pine nuts: Hong (or red) from Russia and Korea, and Xue (or cedar) from Russia. So since Trader Joe's doesn't use Chinese pine nuts, it doesn't seem like simply purely another Chinese issue, although it's worth noting that the Russian-Chinese border can be extremely porous, and much of the Russian-grown pine nuts are processed by the Chinese anyway. There was a complaint about Sam's Club pine nuts, so I called them up. Their corporate spokeswoman made no comment and referred me to Amport Foods, a Minneapolis company that imports pine nuts and had supplied Sam's. CEO Andrew Spellman declined to make a lengthy comment, saying only: "The issue of pine mouth is a new revelation to Amport Foods. It's too early to supply any answers, as we don't know what the problem really is." But then I talked to someone who works at a company that works with pine nuts, who asked to remain unnamed, and the remarks were illuminating."We don't know what we're dealing with, and we need to get some real answers on it," the source said. (And forgive me from using the plural "they" instead of correct singular for this person from now on.) According to the source, the company they work for went from essentially no complaints about pine mouth to several in the past six months. (But note that we're talking about, say, four or five cases from a volume of pine nuts in the millions of pounds.) "It seems to be this crop year," they said, and spoke of a rumor of a possible, unconfirmed case involving pine nuts grown in Arizona. "We're dumbfounded. We can't find a pattern to it," they said. In fact, it's been a horrible year for the pine-nut crop in general. Quality is extremely poor, and prices have skyrocketed threefold, leaving some retailers forgoing selling them at all. But pine mouth doesn't help, of course. An immediate question is whether or not the pine nuts might have been contaminated with chemicals or handled improperly. But the pine nuts the source works with come from a Western-built processing plant on the Russia-China border, and the pine nuts are naturally grown "on mountain water," and the trees aren't sprayed. "That's what's got everyone surprised," the source said. So what to do for the average diner? A new crop of pine nuts should be available in the next six weeks to two months. And you can take what solace you can from the fact that no one seems to have reported a serious health problem aside from the obviously unpleasant two weeks or so of a metallic taste in the mouth. In Britain, which is undergoing the same issue, researchers have ruled out heavy-metal contamination or chemical differences in the pine-mouth nuts and regular nuts. Some guess it might be oxidation. Now, I've tried to contact agricultural, food, and medical experts about this as well, but so far everyone's come up blank. I'll keep trying, though, and will let you know here when I find out anything more.

I also have a "pine mouth" story. We hosted a dinner sometime in May of this year (2010). One of the side dishes: grilled asparagus with pine nuts! At least three of the six people in our party got some variation of "pine mouth" within 2-3 days after the dinner. Two of the six people did not have any effect, and we are unsure about the 6th (we didn't ask her). We had bought the pine nuts from a Kroger in Houston in bulk from a self-serve bin- upon returning to the store, we did note that these pine nuts were called "Chinese pine nuts". For me, the bitter taste lasted about 5 days, with the worst being on the 2nd day (i.e., it was unpleasant eating absolutely anything). For the other two people, one had it very mildly and it started on day 3, lasting a few days. The third person had it for about a week, moderately. So much for pine nuts! I don't think I'll be serving them to company again. Otherwise, I may start getting "Respectfully Decline" on my party invitations!

DO NOT EAT THE KALE SALAD WITH PINE NUTS FROM WHOLE FOODS IN EVANSTON, IL!!! I did about 2 days ago, and now I have pine mouth. I can't eat bread or drink coffee, and right now all I can stand to eat is some veggies and water.

Problem Solved!
I am one of the unlucky ones afflicted by Pine Mouth after eating some cheaper nuts from a local grocery store. I couldn't figure out what was wrong when, a day later, I had a disgustingly bitter flavor in my mouth. Like many here, no matter what I did, the flavor did not go away. I was lucky enough to stumble on one random suggestion on one of the many websites I looked through after identifying my issue as Pine Mouth. Brush your mouth, tongue, cheeks, and teeth with BAKING SODA! I had to do it a couple of times, but it seems to have worked. Food tastes wonderful again. Try it!

I too have a case of "Pine Mouth" and I did confirm with Safeway, where I had purchased them that they were from China. The person (in the veggie section) said that she had heard similar complaints before me. I suggested she remove them from the shelves. She agreed... I have called our local news station to alert the public. I am on day 3 of this and really do not feel like eating anything because of the disgusting after effects. I implore all of you to contact the media to get the word out.....

I am on my third day of the bitter chemical taste in my mouth. I had pine nuts from Trader Joe's, the ones from Korea and Russia two days before it started. I am desperate for a cure - since coffee and wine taste the worst and they are my favorite indulgences. If anyone has a remedy that works, please post!

I just googled "chemical taste" and found your blog. I was sure I had some horrible disease after suffering for the last few days with this chemical taste. I too have been eating pinenuts over the last few days...a handful here and there. The brand is Good Sense. Made in Spain or China or Portugal. I never experienced this before but to say the least I'm dumping the rest of the package.

Opps sorry for all the typos, I wish there was an edit button :-) So far I've been able to eat toast with tons of butter and not have the bitter flavor afterward. Something about the oil and fat must coat my taste buds or something. Good luck to you all who are suffering with this too. Shame on Trader Joe's for ignoring the problem.

I just got pine mouth and rad both these articles hoping to find relief. Oh god, it's the worst experience ever. A constant bile and bitter flavor. I traced it to pine nuts from Trader Joe's in NYC, also listed as coming from "Korea or Russia or Vietnam" on the package. My email to TJ's only came back with reply, "this is a natural occurrence." I've eaten raw and toasted pin nuts all my life, plus pesto, and never had this happen. I'm so miserable :-( Is there any remedy? I'm on day 2 so far.

I have cooked with and snacked on pine nuts from Trader Joes (the bag says they are a product of Korea, Russia or Vietnam, and the expiration date is February, 2011) for the past three days. Initially, no problems with a bitter taste. But on the 3rd day, both my husband and I were hit with a bitter taste at the back of our throats. His symptoms are not as strong as mine (but I ate more pine nuts than he did). I have the bitter sensation whether I eat or not, though a sip of red wine and coffee intensify the sensation. Yucch!

i swear i do not work for the company but i have found a temporary cure for this problem. i grabbed a few pine nuts the other night and the next day EVERYTHING I ate tasted bitter, metal. wine was horrible and couldn't eat. i thought i was crazy and then went online and traced it back to the pine nuts. my doctor said this is more crap we need to worry about from china. anyway, the temporary cure is miracle frooties. i saw these on the food network months ago. it is derived from a berry that turns sour to sweet. it is used for cancer patients and just a cool thing to try which is why i originally bought it. anyway, i just drank my first glass of orange juice since i ate the pine nuts. it lasts for like a half hour but enough time to eat a meal and enjoy it.
any questions feel free to e-mail me at bills2345@aol.com b/c i simply find this very interesting and wanted to see what other people think and how they got it.

Fisher nuts? Sound familiar? Cans of roasted salted nuts? Well, I purchased Fisher "Culinary Touch" pine nuts (dry roasted) from Walmart Superstore. They are not rancid, expiration date is a year from now, very nice mild taste in fact. My husband and I ate the recipe I made with them, both of us grabbing another handfull as well. He ate more than I did, perhaps twice as much. I developed this pine mouth. It didn't show up for over 24 hours, and after two days I thought something was very wrong with me since everything I ate tasted bitter, so of course I googled "bitter taste" and clearly the culprit is the pine nuts. It's been 4 days now and everything is just as bitter as the first day. My husband had NO symptoms... no bitter mouth. Evidently it doesn't affect everyone. Plus, not sure if everyone did this, but I toasted them as well.
Oh, by the way, I just noticed that Fisher is honest about where they came from. Says right on the package: Contains pine nuts from China. Until I see a package that says "Guaranteed not to cause Pine Mouth, I won't put another pine nut in my mouth!!

I wish that I had read this article before I had the horrible experience of pine mouth!! I bought a bag of pine nuts from Trader Joes. They were from Korea/Russa. I used it in a spinach recipe and then started eating them out of the bag while I was cooking. I had a few more the next day. Later on the second day, I started experiencing a metal taste in my mouth whenever I ate or drank. I was miserable. I finally found your article and felt much relief when I found out the reason. I am going to Trader Joe's tomorrow to complain. They shouldn't be selling them. I can't imagine I have to live with this for the next 2 weeks Yikes. Thanks for the article.

I used pine nuts in a cornbread stuffing the other day on Thanksgiving. Since then after eating I've been experiencing the same bitter taste in my mouth. While cooking today it was really noticeable, my taste buds were really thrown off I couldn't tell if my receipe was cooked like usual.

Hi to all the unfortunate. I also have this rank taste in the back of my mouth every time I eat. I had a few handfulls of Morrisons own brand pine nuts, although it says these are packaged in the UK the after ringing thier customer services they won’t disclose where it get’s the pine nuts from.
I think it would be an for us all to put down what stores we bought our pine nuts from so that less and less of us have to go through this again.

I was always a big fan of pine nuts and always bought them from Costco. Never had a problem in the past but this bag (from China packaged in US)has really done a number on me. I cannot eat or drink anything without this horrible taste that begins at the back of my tongue. I sure hope there is no lasting effect from this. I'm miserable and it has only been two days. Thanks for your continued update on this strange ordeal!

Concerning pine nuts, I just bought about an oz from my favorite health food store, I ate some & my husband only had a few. He has been complaining ever since about this metallic taste in his mouth, that everything he eats tastes terrible, I bought these @ Health Plus in Sandusky OH, have no idea where they're shipped from. Had it not been for this forum, I never would have figured it out. Thanks much!!! At least we know, and sometimes that in itself is a relief!

I suspect that the awful taste I have had for several days now is related to Amport Pine Nuts Best by 7-22-10 , 2039Y. I have emailed them today. I cringe at the thought of ever eating pine nuts again.

I am experiencing pine mouth for the 1st time, not a pleasant experience. I purchased pine nuts on 9/26/09 and made pesto. The brand pine nuts are Aurora Natural and is a product of China. The pine nuts can be described as smaller and not as white as previously purchased. I am looking for a remedy!

I, too, had this awful reaction last summer. Since I was eating at a friend's house and the problem didn't arise until days later, I couldn't investigate the source of her (damn) pine nuts. But as a result, I avoid them like the plague now because there is nothing as unpleasant to me as not being able to enjoy food. I was never a huge fan of pine nuts, but hello - pesto? And yesterday, my boyfriend was eating pignoli cookies from an Italian bakery and I could not would not partake. Poor me! (Let's check in with him in a few days though, eh?)

Yes, Michael, great investigative journalism! Though I find it shocking that retailers (and, even more upsettingly, the FDA), have dropped the ball on this & left only journalists to investigate. As I said in a comment on your original post, I experienced this condition and it was very unpleasant. I used to eat pine nuts (usually from Fresh Direct) often and never had a problem with them, until one time I ate a batch that looked slightly different (smaller & darker, as if Fresh Direct had used a different supplier) and ended up with a bitter taste in my mouth for nearly 2 weeks. It took me a few days to figure out what had caused it, but when I googled "bitter taste in mouth" and saw all the info on the subject, I realized it must've been the pine nuts. I contacted Fresh Direct through their online feedback form and never heard back. I avoided pine nuts for several months afterward, but I love them so much that recently I tried a batch from Fresh Direct again (they looked normal, not like the smaller, darker ones) and they did not cause any symptoms. It's interesting that, in some cases, 2 people have eaten nuts from the same batch and only 1 person has had the symptoms. As commenter vellal pointed out, maybe it has something to do with the genetic differences in taste buds that make people experience some flavors differently? This wikipedia article that vellal recommends explains the topic well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supertaster Regardless, I find it very upsetting that these items are in our food supply and we have no idea what's causing the problem.

Did everyone who experienced this taste sensation know it was from the pine nuts immediately?? I had a very strange bitterish taste in my mouth after trying a "store bought" potato salad and it was with me for 4 or 5 days after, each time I ate, but never without food in my mouth. I had, however, the same week, eaten pine nuts.

'wflaan' is correct.
Never buy pine nuts in a regular supemarket, they are outrageously expensive and therefore have a very low turnover. Trader Joe has been a reliable source for me and so has mail order. I keep them refrigerated, and for longer term storage, I freeze them.

My husband and I were discussing this a few weeks ago and found that we both had the experience of long lasting metallic taste from our garden fresh oregano. I am no longer using my home grown oregano because of this. We have also had the pine nut experience; not as strong as with the oregano, however, just as annoying. Very interesting stuff. Thanks for the update.

Thanks for the update. I suffered with pine mouth for two weeks after eating Flavor Tree pine nuts from Whole Foods. Sadly, it disturbed me enough that I now avoid all foods with pine nuts. I followed through with Whole Foods and asked that they remove the pine nuts or, at least, make consumers aware of the issue. I did get a generic response but not one that convinced me that they thought it was a serious issue. Perhaps those deciding on what brands of pine nuts to carry should eat a handful of the nuts, wait a couple days then make their decision.

I always thought that this Pine Nut phenomena was due to slightly rancid nuts. Pine Nuts turn rancid VERY easily due to their high oil content. This is not new, I have noticed this several times over the past few years.

I'm aure people are looking into this, but I wonder if the differences in people who do and don't get pine mouth from the same batch of nuts parallels the genetic difference noted in people who do and don't perceive bitterness when tasting PTC and PROP. (See 'supertaster' on wikipedia).

Thanks for the update! I find this truly interesting, and have been trepidatious in my pine nut eating since the original, just to be on the safe side. (I know, I'm not helping the industry.) Like the industry side, though, I'm anxious to have answers so I know what to look for in quality and what to avoid. This is the most exciting journalism on epi-log ever!

I've had a similar experience a number of times over the last year, except that I associated it with raw carrots that, to be honest, had seen better days. Its really frustrating for someone who likes to eat! My personal theory is that it's some sort of mold.

Sweet lemon blossom and a steely oyster shell minerality back up the fruit notes. Lime curd and pomelo lead in the mouth, carried on a supple texture that balances the energizing freshness. The white grapefruit finish is clean, leaving you with a kiss of an ocean breeze that makes any type of seafood a perfect pairing. Vineyard Notes Fresh, bone dry Rieslings have long been one of this winemaker’s favorites (think Austria), so when Mark Pasternak offered us a small amount from his 25 year old, dry farmed Riesling vineyard in 2011 we jumped on it. The site is up on a bench above Chileno Valley, a picturesque, windswept neighborhood in northwest Marin. The Corda family planted 35 acres here in 1991 to a hodgepodge of varietals, most of which never ripened in the chilly climate. When Mark Pasternak took over the farming, everything got budded to Pinot Noir except for 4 acres that he was convinced would be perfect for the cold loving Riesling. Like most of Mark’s projects, his quality instincts were as good as his economic vision was questionable. The long, cold season down here gives a wine of laser brightness, complex minerality, low alcohol, and wonderful natural acidity. Riesling is a complex, expressive and beautifully aging varietal. As a newly bottled wine, it shows its focused fruit, steely minerality and fresh drinking acidity. With age, the classic white peach and grapefruit give way to rich apricot, lychee and earthy aromas and flavors. Either way, it’s a particularly enticing and vineyard-driven wine. Winemaker Notes Our hedonistic goal in crafting this wine is to maintain the tremendous brightness, focus and freshness that our favorite Rieslings of the world express. It’s been said that aromatic varieties (like gewürtz and riesling) show site more than any other because the winemaking least interferes with what comes off the vine. To this end, we ferment the wine in stainless steel at a cool 48 degrees F to retain the fresh esters of fermentation and the central core of fruit. We employ a yeast isolate from Geisenheim romantically named (in the German tradition) 58W3, which emphasizes the estery freshness and gem-like fruit of the variety. The wine sees no malolactic fermentation, and is bottled in the spring after harvest. In order to show off the pristine freshness and ebullient brightness imparted by this wonderful site, we leave no residual sugar whatsoever. Food Pairing Notes Smoked trout, Hamachi sushi, fresh oysters, and poached shrimp would all be great dates, as would light pork or chicken recipes. It’s also wonderfully versatile with cheese, with a creamy goat or Gouda being particularly nice mates.

Applying the same Kevlar technology Are concrete practitioners promoting safe-room installations in new homes bound to encounter some lightweight competition? Applying the same Kevlar technology the military uses to protect soldiers in a tank, DuPont introduced its StormRoom about three years ago in the tornado alley states of Texas and Oklahoma. The company has recently broken into the Memphis market with two installations in new custom-built homes by local builder Doyle Ricks. In contrast to traditional concrete or steel storm shelters, the walls of DuPont StormRooms include a layer of Kevlar sheathing capable of withstanding winds up to 250 mph. Associated with the most violent tornadoes, such winds can launch debris at 100 mph. Accordingly, the 5-in.-thick walls and roof comprise four layers: exterior plywood, Kevlar sheathing, a high-density foam, and interior plywood. The Kevlar sheathing acts as a catcher’s mit, says DuPont Market Manager Gary Burnett. The foam provides insulation and an extra force absorber. Anchoring the StormRooms, available in four fixed sizes, is a concrete slab. Because we use common building materials, you can finish them off, Burnett says. The rooms can be disguised as a storage space, a closet or even a wine room. The two Memphis installations will be closets located in the master bedroom. While all the homes Ricks built in the past six to seven years included some kind of storm shelter, most were concrete or steel; but, he is adopting the Kevlar technology because the rooms are above ground, easy to install, and thoroughly tested, DuPont officials contend. At the Wind Engineering Research Center at Texas Tech University, rooms were subjected to the impact of a two-by-four shot out of a cannon at 100 mph. With every change or improvement DuPont makes, Burnett reports, We take it to Texas and shoot it. The StormRooms comply with all of FEMA’s National Performance Criteria for Tornado Shelters. Aboveground and located inside the house, StormRooms are easy to reach during a storm. Since they are capable of withstanding around 90,000 lb., inhabitants are still protected in the event that a house collapses, product engineers affirm. A security keypad on the 2-in.-thick steel door provides further functionality as a safe room. The StormRooms can be installed in any home, given sufficient space and a concrete slab to anchor the room. Cost of installation ranges from $6,000 to $12,000. A DuPont-certified installer can complete the room in about five hours, says Burnett. Although the rooms can be installed after construction, Ricks notes that the initial framing stage is most conducive, as that lets you get the wiring, heating and air.

The Kremlin’s new state armament plan, which will run from 2018-2027, will continue modernization of the Russian Aerospace Forces. However, while Russia will continue to buy modern combat aircraft such as the Sukhoi Su-35S Flanker-E air superiority fighter and the Su-34 Fullback bomber, Moscow is not likely to make large purchases of the fifth-generation Su-57 PAK-FA stealth fighter until after 2027.
“The Su-57 is not expected to enter into serial production until upgraded engines are ready, which is unlikely to happen until 2027,” Center for Naval Analyses senior research scientist Dmitry Gorenburg wrote in a new PONARS Policy Memo. “Over the next eight years, Russia will continue to purchase small numbers of these planes for testing.”
Production of other combat aircraft including the Su-35S, Su-30SM Flanker-H multi-role fighter and the Su-34 Fullback will continue. Additionally, small numbers of the new Mikoyan MiG-35 Fulcrums are also likely to enter service with the Russian air force.
“It will also continue to purchase Su-35S fighter jets, with a new contract for 50 additional aircraft signed in late 2016. Purchases of Su-30SM fighter jets and Su-34 strike aircraft will also continue, most likely at rates of 12-18 aircraft per year of each type,” Gorenburg wrote.
“Mikoyan MiG-35 fighter aircraft may also be procured, but probably not in large numbers.”

However, while fighter production will continue, the Russian air force will likely deemphasize combat aircraft procurement to focus on other more pressing priorities.
“Overall, with many modern fighter aircraft now in place, rates of procurement will slow in order to allow for the purchase of other types of aircraft,” Gorenburg wrote.
“The same goes for military helicopters, since the Russian military has received what it needs in new helicopters during the last seven years. Development of a new high-speed helicopter will not start until after 2027.”
During the coming years, the Russian air force is likely to focus on addressing support aircraft such strategic airlifters and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance planes. Moreover, the Russians will also have to address persistent problem with their aerial refueling capabilities.
“Transport and refueling aircraft, long an area of weakness for the Russian air force, will be one area of focus,” Gorenburg wrote. “Serial production of the long-troubled Ilyushin Il-76-MD90A is expected to start in 2019, and the Russian military is expecting to receive 10-12 such aircraft per year thereafter. A light transport aircraft is under development, with prototypes expected to be completed in 2024.”

One of the priorities in the new state armament plan is airborne command and control.
“The A-100 airborne warning system (AWACS) aircraft, based on the Il-76MD90A, was expected to be delivered starting in 2016 but has been repeatedly delayed. Nevertheless, procurement of this aircraft will be included in SAP-2027,” Gorenburg wrote.
Gorenburg also notes — as fellow CNA researcher Samuel Bendett often points out — that Russia has embarked on a robotic renaissance of sorts.
“Russia is experiencing a boom in domestic production of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs),” Gorenburg wrote. “By 2020, it will have a strike UAV in production, as well as a new generation of reconnaissance UAVs.”
As for Russian air defenses, the new state armament plan continues production of existing systems, however the new S-500 Prometheus seems to have been delayed.
“Russia will continue to deploy S-400 long-range missiles and Pantsir-S short-range missiles,” Gorenburg wrote. “However, it seems increasingly unlikely that the next generation S-500 air defense system will be ready for serial production any time soon, though official plans still indicate that a prototype will be built by 2020. Original plans called for serial production of the S-500 to start in 2015. The new standard short-range air defense system has just started development and is not expected to be ready for production until 2030.”
Overall, there are no surprises in the Kremlin’s new state armament plan as far as the Russian air force is concerned.

Michael Turner holds or is near the top of several rushing feats in Falcons history.
He is 2nd in total rushing yards to Gerald Riggs, trailing Riggs by only 600 yards, but The Burner has 22 more touchdowns than Riggs, and exactly double what lone ring of honor running back William Andrews has.
But Riggs, one of the Falcons' all-time greats, was traded to the Washington Redskins just a season after playing in only 9 games, presumably because the team no longer wanted him. Riggs is not in the Falcons' Ring of Honor.
I remember saying aloud to myself one day in 2010, "This team could have as many as 6 or 7 Ring of Honor candidates by the time their careers are over."
Certainly Matt Ryan, Roddy White, Todd McClure, John Abraham, and perhaps Tony Gonzalez could all end up hanging from the tops of the new Alien Dome.
It's also safe to say that the numbers 2, 84, and 55 will forever be known by Falcons fans of this era, and it's a safe bet that the number 2 will never be worn by another Falcon.
But what about 33?
33 still hasn't found another team. A "failed physical" prompted his release, and even in the ire of Falcon fans everywhere over the last few years, he did not get angry at them when he was released, but instead thanked them. When I heard that for the first time, I was ashamed to have ever felt any kind of anger at the man for his playing troubles.
Sure, he'd lost a step or two, and yes, he had some off the field incidents, but he went out trying his damnedest to bring a Super Bowl ring to the city of Atlanta. Ultimately, like the rest of the team, he came up short.
Does Turner belong in the Falcons Ring of Honor? I say yes. For every memory my dad has of William Andrews and Gerald Riggs, I can look back and say I had just as many good memories of Michael Turner. And while he may not ever come up in the NFL's all-time great running back list, he comes up in the Falcons' list, and that's good enough for me. | positive |

What's Your Type? With Diabetes, It Can Be Unclear
Enlarge this image toggle caption Purestock/Getty Images Purestock/Getty Images
A drop in the number of newly-diagnosed diabetes cases is good public health news. But for the Type 1 diabetes community it's a source of frustration, because the numbers hide their story.
Last month, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that new cases of diagnosed diabetes among adults in the U.S. had finally dropped after decades of growth, from 1.7 million in 2008 to 1.4 million in 2014.
The decline in new cases gives "confidence that our diabetes prevention efforts are working and we are moving in the right direction," CDC officials said via email to Shots. "We know that long-term lifestyle changes in those at high risk are critical to prevent Type 2 diabetes and maintain this progress."
While it's certainly the right direction for the more common Type 2 diabetes, the findings don't apply to Type 1, a different condition that appears to be on the rise and that is not caused by obesity or lifestyle factors. Rather, Type 1 diabetes results from an autoimmune destruction of the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas.
And while Type 2 diabetes is linked to obesity and can typically be managed with diet, physical activity, and various medications including insulin for some, Type 1 always requires insulin treatment, either with multiple daily injections or an infusion pump, and is far more labor-intensive to manage.
Type 1 is believed to make up roughly 5 percent of the total 29 million adults and children in the U.S. who currently live with diabetes, or about 1.5 million people. But, the actual number isn't really known, and some surveys have suggested there may be twice that many.
The new CDC numbers came from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), which asked adult respondents whether a health professional had ever told them they have diabetes. The survey doesn't ask what type.
This is a problem, according to officials with the T1D Exchange, a nonprofit organization that includes a clinic network, registry, biorepository, and online patient community. In an open letter to the CDC, the Exchange's executive director Dana Ball and chief medical officer Dr. Henry Anhalt called for clarification of the announced decrease in new diabetes cases.
"Comingling of the data, particularly from the leading national public health institute of the United States, perpetuates the myth that diabetes is one disease sharing a name, while the reality is that Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are actually two different diseases in the diabetes family," Ball and Anhalt wrote.
One concern, Anhalt told Shots, is that scientists seeking funding for research into Type 1 diabetes might be turned down if the condition is perceived to be on the decline, when in fact the opposite appears to be the case.
Most of the available data on Type 1 diabetes are in children, even though a large proportion of people with the condition are adults who developed it either as children or in adulthood.
In a large multisite study called SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth that is jointly funded by the CDC and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, there was a 21 percent increase in the number of new cases of Type 1 diabetes in children between 2001 and 2009. Increases were seen in kids of all ages, as well as in ethnic or racial minority groups that are more commonly associated with Type 2.
And according to the International Diabetes Federation's Seventh Atlas , released in 2015, the number of kids with Type 1 diabetes worldwide had risen 9 percent since the Sixth Atlas, from 2013.
Researchers don't know why Type 1 diabetes is rising, and it's important to find out, Anhalt said. "The call to action was not necessarily to say CDC is bad. But if you don't have a way to do it, find one, because obtaining those data is vital."
But that's not so easy, says Edward Gregg, chief of the Epidemiology and Statistics Branch in the CDC's Division of Diabetes Translation. "Our national survey data unfortunately don't have the detail necessary to accurately distinguish diabetes types," he told Shots.
For one thing, while the majority of adults with diabetes in the U.S. have clear-cut Type 2, many aren't familiar with the terminology or are confused about it. Because T1 used to be called "insulin-dependent" diabetes, some people still mistakenly believe that anyone treated with insulin has Type 1. In fact, between a quarter and a third of people with Type 2 are treated with insulin, typically after they've had the condition for several years.
And the former terms "juvenile" and "adult-onset" diabetes persist despite having been officially changed to Types 1 & 2 nearly 20 years ago, after it became clear that adults could develop the "juvenile" type. And Type 2 is now appearing in some overweight and obese children, particularly among African-American, Hispanic or Native American teenagers.
"When you survey people in the population you could ask them their type, but it would not be a super-accurate way of determining the prevalence," Gregg noted.
Health care providers are confused too. Some will simply diagnose all new-onset diabetes in adults as Type 2, since it wasn't appreciated until recently that Type 1 can and often does first appear in adults in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and even older. (Because Type 1 onset tends to be slower in adults, it's often called "latent autoimmune diabetes of adulthood," or "LADA.")
And for pediatricians, it may be difficult to tell which diabetes type an overweight or obese child or teenager has.
Indeed, the overall rise in obesity has furthered the diagnostic confusion. People with Type 1 were generally thin in the past, but today that's no longer the case (in the developed world, anyway).
Although obesity isn't the driver of Type 1 diabetes as it is in Type 2, people with Type 1 diabetes today are at least as likely to be overweight or obese as the general population. And with that, they may also display similar heart disease risk profiles as do people with Type 2 diabetes – in fact, heart disease is believed to be the number one killer of people with Type 1 diabetes, as it is for Type 2.
Adding to the confusion, there are other genetic types of diabetes that are also commonly misdiagnosed as either Type 1 or Type 2. Some of those people are put on insulin unnecessarily, making them vulnerable to weight gain and potentially dangerous low blood sugar episodes.
While some laboratory tests can help determine diabetes type, none are perfect and the most accurate one – checking for antibodies associated with Type 1 diabetes – is not routine and can be costly. (The genetic tests are even more expensive.)
Endocrinologist M. Sue Kirkman, a professor of medicine at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, doesn't ask diabetes patients about their type. Instead, she asks about factors such as their age and symptoms at diagnosis, medication history and family history of diabetes.
"There's a lot of confusion, Kirkman says. "It's not infrequent to see medical records that say Type 2 diabetes, but when we ask the patient some of those questions it's clearly Type 1." And if the type still isn't clear, she'll order an antibody test.
While some argue that knowing the type may not matter as long as the person's blood sugars are well-controlled, mix-ups can have serious consequences. For example, in adult hospital settings, where Type 2 diabetes is extremely common, the fact that insulin can't be withheld for long periods of time – such as for a surgical procedure - in Type 1 patients may be overlooked, Kirkman notes.
Besides, she says, "I actually think it's important for people to understand what kind of diabetes they have, even if [their current treatment] is working. I think it's important to be educated about what's wrong with your body."
Kirkman agrees with the T1D Exchange that CDC should work to improve its data gathering. "I hope the CDC can in the future distinguish better, because I think it's really important to know what's going on with one and the other."
In fact, Gregg says, CDC is addressing the issue in several ways. His team has developed new questions for the NHIS aimed at better distinguishing between the diabetes types, including the age at diagnosis, the interval between diagnosis and starting insulin (a short time would suggest Type 1), and whether insulin use was ever stopped (a long period without insulin would suggest Type 2).
Those questions are being field tested, he said, noting that "we'd be getting a better estimation of proportion of Type 1 versus Type 2, although it won't be perfect."
And, in addition to co-funding the SEARCH study, which looks at both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes in youth, CDC has also recently issued a request for applications for research specifically to investigate rates of Type 1 diabetes in young adults, with a due date of February 23rd. "That would also hopefully fill this data gap," Gregg said.
Meanwhile, some diabetes experts say that it's time for a complete overhaul of the way diabetes is classified by basing it on underlying causes rather than potentially misleading descriptive characteristics.
In a perspective published last week in the American Diabetes Association journal Diabetes Care, the authors wrote, "The current classification system presents challenges to the diagnosis and treatment of patients with diabetes... in part due to its conflicting and confounding definitions of Type 1, Type 2, and [LADA]...We urge that the time is right to convene a committee of diabetes community leaders and researchers to reevaluate the current outmoded [diabetes] classification system."

Tiger And The Bear, Oh My! In a dream pairing at the PGA, Jack Nicklaus bowed to the new king of golf - Sports Illustrated Vault | SI.com Skip to main content Sign In Archives Classic Galleries Sports Illustrated Swimsuit SI Kids Privacy Policy Terms of Use Latest News Privacy Settings September 24, 2022 Archives Classic Galleries Archives Classic Galleries Original Issue August 28, 2000 Tiger And The Bear, Oh My! In a dream pairing at the PGA, Jack Nicklaus bowed to the new king of golf Author: John Garrity TABLE OF CONTENTS ORIGINAL LAYOUT It was no surprise when Jack Nicklaus's mother died last week in Columbus, Ohio--she was 90 and had been ill for two years. But Helen Nicklaus had played a sort of game with death, hanging on and enduring a little more pain than necessary to satisfy her curiosity about a few remaining things. "She wants to die," a doctor told Jack, "but not right now." Nicklaus repeated that line over and over at the PGA Championship. The words encapsulated not only his mother's reluctance to let go--"She was a tough old gal," he said--but also his unwillingness to concede to the erosions of time. Nicklaus, at 60, has an artificial hip and a back so stiff that he has to eat breakfast standing up. But when it comes to tournament golf, he is like his mother: ready to quit...but not right now. That may have changed last week. Nicklaus shot a first-round 77 at Valhalla, and afterward you could read abdication in his every word and gesture. "I felt kind of inadequate out there," said the winner of a record 18 major championships. Nicklaus said it, however, without the usual edge of self-reproach. He looked serene, affable and content. All it took, apparently, was one tournament round with Tiger Woods, who has become a sort of walking retirement brochure for golfers half Nicklaus's age. Woods shot a 66 last Thursday for a share of the lead, and the golfer of the last century could only watch in admiration and try to keep up. "I did the best I could," Nicklaus said following his first round, "but I tried to stay out of his way. I'm basically ceremonial." That, of course, was exactly what the PGA of America had in mind when it paired Nicklaus with Woods and Masters champion Vijay Singh. Nicklaus and Woods had never played a tournament round together, and both wanted the opportunity. Nicklaus fondly remembers playing with Gene Sarazen at the 1971 PGA, when the Squire was 68. The old man was wowed by the youngster then, and Nicklaus conceded that it was no different last week at Valhalla, where Woods hit shots that left Nicklaus gaping and showed a grasp of course management reminiscent of the Golden Bear in his prime. "He's playing a game I'm not familiar with," Nicklaus said, repeating the famous line uttered by the great Bobby Jones about him. With a twinkle in his eye, Nicklaus added, "And I'm playing a game I'm not familiar with, either." It could have been ugly, but it wasn't. Ugly was what happened to Nicklaus at the other three majors of 2000. At the Masters he made the cut but shot 81-78 on the weekend and finished 54th. At the U.S. Open he shot a second-round 82, his worst score in 44 Opens, and missed the cut. Finally, at the British Open he not only missed the cut but also missed the point, refusing to rule out another appearance in the oldest major. Not until he put his game up against Woods's at Valhalla did Nicklaus stop trying to pull the bandage off in wimpy tugs and simply give it a big yank. The results were a little better--he shot a second-round 71 and missed the cut by only one stroke--and his last PGA had a pleasing finality to it, particularly his last shot to the 18th green, a sand wedge that nearly spun back into the hole for an eagle. His fans bellowed the usual encouragement, and he was greeted at every green with prolonged ovations. "I didn't know if they were applauding to get rid of me," he joked, "or just saying thanks." It was the latter, of course. What made Nicklaus's appearance feel right was the presence of Woods. There was a sense of passage, the old golfer and the young golfer walking side by side on the hills of Valhalla, the two greatest golfers of all time meeting at the millennium. Woods looked at Nicklaus and saw everything he hopes to be, not just a man with those 18 majors but also an icon of sport with a love for competition that time can't diminish. Nicklaus, in turn, looked at Woods--at his power, his finesse, his resolve, his youth--and saw himself in the glass of time. "I wouldn't want to spend the next 20 years trying to beat him," Nicklaus said after Thursday's round. But a smile immediately spread on his face: "I take that back. Of course I would." It was the perfect exit line. COLOR PHOTO: JIM GUND There was a sense of passage at Valhalla--the two greatest golfers of all time meeting at the millennium.

“Hold high a sharp saber against corruption,” Mr. Xi intones on the show. “Corrupt elements will be investigated and dealt with as they’re uncovered. Corruption must be punished. Graft must be purged.”
But viewers of Chinese television already get to see plenty of Mr. Xi in each news broadcast. For them, the main interest in the series has been the sight of once-mighty officials humbled and imprisoned.
It is an established part of China’s political stagecraft to parade disgraced officials on the state news media. But this series shows more than usual. The dyed jet-black hair the leaders had while in office — the customary sign of vigor for the cadre — has often turned gray and straggly in prison.
Some seem truly anguished.
“The wrong lies with me,” Li Chuncheng, the former party secretary of the southwestern city of Chengdu, confesses in sobs. “What was I doing all this time? You know, based on the usual retirement age, I was close to the end of my career. But because of my own mistakes, I’ve ended up like this. What a tragedy.”
Before the tragedy, though, there was plenty of indulgence. The documentary serves, inadvertently, as a guide to how Communist cadres got away with playboy millionaires’ lifestyles while preaching clean living and probity.
Zhou Benshun, the former party secretary of Hebei Province, in northern China, would publicly inveigh against corruption and then return to the 16-room, 8,600-square-foot house he had commandeered inside a military compound. His staff there included two cooks from his native Hunan Province, who knew how to please his spicy palate, and two nannies, one of whom took care of his pets.
Zhang Huiqing, the wife of Mr. Bai, the imprisoned official, pressed businessmen seeking favors to add to her staggering collection of jade jewelry, including a bracelet that cost $2.2 million. By the time the investigators searched the home of the couple, they had amassed rooms of expensive jewelry and rare redwood. | positive |

March 8th, International Women’s Day, is a day to celebrate women’s achievements, past and present. March is also women’s history month, a time to note women in history, but also women making history. Throughout most of wine’s long history, women were not invited to the winemaking field. The women who did take part in winemaking made their mark, like the Widow Clicquot, who created the method for clarified Champagne. But as in most trades, since women have joined, they have been making quite a splash.
Women are making waves in the wine world, from winemaking itself to management positions. Here are 18 women and their wines to toast to their success.
*This list only includes 18, though it could have gone on for much longer. Please add more in the comments section.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Commission proposed on Wednesday to help Europe’s defense industry cope with pressure from falling military budgets by funding research and helping to develop new military technologies.

The European Union’s executive body, which has traditionally left defense responsibilities to its 28 member states, also raised the possibility that the EU itself could buy and operate some equipment needed for military missions.
Europe’s defense industry had sales of 96 billion euros ($126.9 billion) in 2012 and employed about 400,000 people.
But EU officials fear sharp cuts in defense spending by governments in response to the economic crisis are eroding the competitiveness of the sector, dominated by companies such as Britain’s BAE Systems, Franco-German EADS and Italy’s Finmeccanica.
Experts say the European defense industry is too fragmented, with firms often developing many similar products, while the continent lags in key technologies such as drones, where the United States and Israel lead.
“Maintaining and developing defense capabilities to meet current and future challenges in spite of severe budget constraints will only be possible if far-reaching political and structural reforms are made. The time has come to take ambitious action,” the Commission said in its 17-page paper.
The paper is part of a debate on how Europe can strengthen its arms industry and bolster a common defense policy that is set to culminate in a summit of European leaders in December.
The Commission wants to encourage spin-offs for the defense industry from civilian research carried out under the EU’s Horizon 2020 research program, which has an 80 billion euro budget between 2014 and 2020.
HANDS-ON APPROACH
The Commission, keen to encourage pan-European defense cooperation, said it would take a more hands-on approach in fostering some technologies with both civilian and military applications.
It said it would help fund a pre-commercial procurement scheme to acquire prototypes of some technologies.
The first candidates could be equipment to detect chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosives threats, RPAS (remotely-piloted aircraft systems or drones), and radio communication equipment using software on personal computers.
The Commission said it would study what capabilities with both a military and a civilian use were needed for EU security policies. The EU has launched a number of overseas military or civilian missions, including training troops in Mali.
“On the basis of this assessment, it will come up with a proposal for which capability needs, if any, could best be fulfilled by assets directly purchased, owned and operated by the (European) Union,” the paper said.
A Commission official said it was too early to say what equipment could be best operated by the EU, but suggested there might be a need for communication, transport, weapons detection or surveillance equipment, such as drones.
The Commission urged EU governments to identify a joint project in the area of key defense capabilities, where EU policies could fully be mobilized.
The Commission promised a crackdown on discriminatory practices and distortions affecting the defense market in Europe, where governments often try to keep manufacturing and skills at home by favoring companies from their own country.
The Commission said it would monitor the openness of member states’ defense markets and make sure that new rules on procuring defense equipment were applied by EU governments.
European governments are exempt from the usual EU rules on giving state aid to their industries if they can prove that “essential security interests” are at stake. The Commission said it would keep a close eye on ensuring governments met the conditions when asking for exemptions from state aid rules.
The Commission wants to encourage European-wide standards and testing procedures for defense equipment to eliminate duplication and make it easier for European armies to work together. Drones and encryption technologies could be candidates for setting common European standards, it said.

She was interviewed about a 1980 California trial where she won a $13.3 million verdict for a University of Arizona student. The student, 40-year-old Mary Hall, suffered a life-altering injury from a bicycle crash while riding down a hill in Yosemite Park. The crash left her paralyzed from the neck down and unable to breathe without the assistance of a medical breathing machine. The case revolved around the controversial use of beach-cruiser style bicycles with coaster brakes. The bikes were rented out to tourists who would ride on a hilly, rocky area of Yosemite Park. During the trial, Mary E. Alexander argued this area was better suited for mountain bikes with hand brakes and used other rental services at similar parks as examples. To make matters worse, the brakes on the bikes were being replaced with used brakes to save money, causing riders to lose control in the steep areas. One rider, a 12-year-old who testified in the case, had used and returned the bike for its inability to brake, just mere hours before Mary Hall would crash that same bike into a tree. The defendants, on the other hand, tried to argue that it was not an area meant for bicycle riders, and that Mary Hall should have never attempted to ride down that hill. There were a few problems with this argument. First, it was found that the map did not make it clear where riders are supposed to ride. Second, there was no clear signage indicating you could not ride in this area. A witness reported that more than 50 percent of people would ride bicycles in this area. The defendants resorted to hiring a professional bicyclist to ride down the area while recording himself. In the recording, the bicyclist nearly lost control of his bicycle in the same spot where Mary Hall’s crashed had occurred. After crashing into a tree, Mary Hall suffered a spinal cord injury that prevented her from breathing. A couple that witnessed the accident happened to be ER physicians, and they assisted her just long enough for her to be taken to the hospital. She spent two years in the hospital, where she was completely reliant on assistance for her everyday needs. She was able to testify in court for only a brief moment and would eventually learn to operate a wheelchair. In the first part of the podcast, we also learn about Mary E. Alexander’s background story and how a loss in her family led to her lifelong pursuit of protecting consumer rights. A past president of both the Association of Trial Lawyers of America and the Consumer Attorneys of California, Mary E. Alexander’s career has focused on one thing – ensuring that those who have been harmed by the negligent, preventable actions of others get their day in court and get the justice they deserve.

THE Government was warned by a senior judge that its own private referendum information campaign caused confusion among voters, it can be revealed.
THE Government was warned by a senior judge that its own private referendum information campaign caused confusion among voters, it can be revealed.
The High Court judge's advice will place further pressure on government ministers after they still went ahead with their information project for the Children referendum.
The campaign cost more than €1m and was subsequently ruled unlawful by the Supreme Court.
The new revelation comes after the referendum was passed by 58pc to 42pc – a far smaller margin than was predicted.
The shocking turnout of only one in three voters was the third-lowest on a referendum polling day.
The Coalition also has the threat of a court challenge to the result hanging over it after the Supreme Court ruling.
Ministers are expected to look at what can be done in future referendums in light of the McKenna judgment, which prevents taxpayers’ money being spent to support a government proposal.
The Government was warned by High Court judge Kevin Feeney that its controversial information booklets – delivered along with the independent referendum watchdog's literature – had caused confusion among voters during the previous referendum, on the EU Fiscal Treaty.
In its report on that vote held last May, the Referendum Commission, headed by Mr Justice Feeney, said its research after the event found the dual campaigns caused problems.
The critical comments on the Government's information campaign are contained in the conclusions of the report provided to the Department of the Environment in August. But the report has yet to be released.
Aside from the Referendum Commission's research, it is thought the Coalition would have conducted its own research, which could have made the same finding.
Despite the judge's warning, the Government proceeded with its own information campaign, separate to the Referendum Commission, in the Children's referendum.
The final two days of the campaign were overshadowed by the Supreme Court rap across the knuckles for the Government.
Five judges in the highest court in the land found the Government's information booklet and website was "not fair, equal or impartial".
The court ruled the Coalition had "acted wrongfully" in spending €1.1m as it breached the McKenna judgment of 1995.
That ruling says taxpayers' money cannot be spent in advocating a particular side in a referendum.
As a result of the Supreme Court's ruling, the Government is expecting a challenge to be brought against the Children referendum result, though it is highly unlikely to succeed.
Campaigners from the No camp want to see the result tested in the courts.
Former MEP and disability rights activist Kathy Sinnott said the result was "contaminated" and should be challenged.
Political analysts said the Supreme Court ruling damaged the turnout and the Yes vote.
The Children's referendum saw the lowest turnout for 16 years, with three constituencies voting No -- Donegal North-East, Donegal South-West and Dublin North-West.
Fine Gael sources pointed out that these three constituencies all have a strong Sinn Fein presence and sitting TDs. Recriminations also began in public, with shots being fired between the Coalition and the opposition.
Based on the pattern of the results, junior minister Shane McEntee accused Sinn Fein and Fianna Fail of talking out of both sides of their mouths during the campaign.
The Government will face questions in the Dail this week from Fianna Fail leader Micheal Martin about the handling of the campaign, particularly the information element.
Children's Minister Frances Fitzgerald's role in drafting the wording and Attorney General Maire Whelan in signing off on it will come under particular scrutiny.
Ministers will also consider what to do about information campaigns in future, given the constraints of the McKenna judgment.
Government sources believe that overturning the McKenna judgment is "not a runner" as it would probably require a referendum itself.
Weaken
In future, the Government will probably have to leave the information to the Referendum Commission or fund both sides, which is unlikely.
"Being unable to use any government money to explain the proposal that you as a Government are making, that's going to be harder to win referendums in future," a minister said.
"Parties can't afford to pay for multiple referendum campaigns every year. But we'll really have to see the judgment before coming to conclusions."
The Supreme Court will issue its full written judgment in a month's time.
Social Protection Minister Joan Burton rejected suggestions that the low turnout on Saturday would weaken her hand when it came to arguing against child benefit cutbacks at the cabinet table.
"Not at all. We'll be having discussions about the Budget in the next few weeks," she said.
Child benefit payments are at risk of being cut again in the Budget because savings of €540m are required from the Ms Burton's department.

OK, Sanders people, want me to eat crow? Trust me, I already have.
I’ve been writing some pretty tough pieces about Bernie lately because after Hillary Clinton beat him in Nevada, I didn’t see any evidence that he could win an important state. Well, he just won one. After Michigan, the Democratic reality has changed, in a potentially huge way.
Nobody saw this coming. Forget me. Nate Silver, who gave Clinton a 99 percent chance of winning the state, didn’t see it coming. Obviously even Sanders himself didn’t see it coming, or he wouldn't have given his victory speech in front of what was by all appearances an outhouse.
So there are three questions. How did this happen? How could the polls have been so amazingly wrong? And what does it portend?
As for how it happened, the exit polls give us a few answers. Clinton’s problem with young voters held pace as Sanders won four out of five voters age 30 and under. But it expanded—in Michigan, he walloped her by 24 points among those between 30 and 39. Thirty-nine isn’t so young. So her problem now isn’t just with “young voters.” It’s with virtually all voters who weren’t adults when Bill Clinton was first elected.
If you’re 40 and a Democrat, say, you were born in 1976 and you were 16 when Bill first won. Then you cast your first presidential vote for him in 1996. But all that feels like a long time ago to you. You’ve since gotten married and had kids and lost some hair and grown a paunch. In pop culture, people continue to love the things that remind them of their youth. In politics, apparently, it’s different.
If Hillary Clinton’s inability to connect generationally is bleeding into a cohort that has an actual living memory of her as first lady, that’s a new ball game and new level of trouble. But Clinton’s second—and far bigger—problem in Michigan was with independents. Clinton won among Democrats, but among independents who chose to vote in the Democratic primary and who constituted 28 percent of the electorate, Sanders took a whopping 70 percent.
Who were these people and what motivated them? We’ll never really know. Maybe the trustworthiness question, which showed up in the exit polls. Maybe the NAFTA attacks. Maybe Clinton’s attack on Sanders’s vote on the auto bailout, which was technically true but at the same time not quite fair and which Sanders made a last-minute ad about. It isn’t possible to say. They’re probably left-leaning independents, which makes a 70-30 pasting all the worse for Clinton, and it bodes ill for her electability.
That seems to be the gist of what happened. As to the polls, who knows? Clinton was said to be 20-plus points ahead. Nate Silver tweeted not long before the race was called: “If Sanders wins MI tonight, it will break Gary Hart’s record in 1984 NH for greatest upset vs. final polling average.” In other words, this was, in polling terms, the biggest upset of all time. Polls are never that far off. It had to be a combination of factors—some complacent Clinton voters stayed home, some voters changed their minds late, and some independents voted Democratic who weren’t sampled well in the polls. Whatever happened, it put all the polling of the next races in doubt.
And finally, what about those next races? It’s a very different contest now. Four big states vote next Tuesday: Florida, Ohio, Illinois, and Missouri. Florida and Ohio matter the most, for obvious reasons. Only Florida is closed (for Democrats only). The other three are open. If Clinton is going to win those states, she has to figure out some answer to this independent-voter problem.
One thing I think we can be sure of. Now that this is a real race, it’s likely to get nasty. That’s a danger zone for Clinton. She’s probably better off trying to come out with some new idea that resets the race in some way. I wrote last month about what that could be. The point is, her more pressing issue right now is not to redefine him, but to redefine herself.
As for Sanders, I give him a lot of credit. I didn’t believe for a minute he could win a state like Michigan. I’m still not a fan of his style of politics, but votes are what matter, and he just got a lot of them in a big, diverse state. He’s a more credible candidate as a result. | positive |
