What does it mean to place them upon ourselves? When we have limited ourselves, we have decided that we are only capable of so much, that we can only go so far, and that we only have a restricted set of abilities. What made us decide this? Where did we get these ideas? Often we develop them without any trials or proof. They are based in fear or failure, in messages we have been given growing up, or because we have let others limits rub off on us. The fact of the matter is this, no one can limit you, but you. No boss, no teacher, no partner, no colleague. We know our abilities and our worth, and is we are willing to work for them, great things are possible. So some advice on how to stop limiting ourselves comes from those who refused to let it happen to them. For more inspiration, don’t forget to also check out our collection motivational keep pushing quotes. Inspirational quotes on living without limits 1. “If you always out limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work, and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must go beyond them.” – Bruce Lee 2. “Don’t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.” – Mary Kay Ash 3. “Follow your passion, be prepared to work hard and sacrifice, and, above all, and don’t let anyone limit your dreams.” – Donovan Bailey 4. “Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives that we are dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now!

When I drove it, I would run it in Sport mode and fill the tank with 93 octane and average 32 miles to the gallon, plus the bonus of "Smiles per mile"! The car just seemed more aggressive and fun with 93 octane. However, our Ecoboost Fusion ran on 87 octane for the first 70,000 miles of it's life with zero problems and I've just started to run 89 octane (or E15 when available) and have switched to a low sodium, low calcium motor oil in hope, to extend the life of the car and continue to be able to drive it for many years! 2018 Mustang base Coupe / 10 Spd Trans Stock Long Block w/ bolt ons / 375 CCHP TS Wastegate & Bypass/3" Downpipe/200 Cell Cat/GlassPack/Race Intercooler/Charge Pipes/Custom Air Intake/Catch Can/Data Logger/Tuned/E85 Kit/Tires/Wheels/Drag Springs/Weight Reduction (3600 lb) Reactions: johnnybee Save Share Reply Quote johnnybee · Registered Joined Jul 21, 2018 · 1,069 Posts #5 · 8 mo ago Only show this user As above. The owner's manual has a huge "87" printed on the appropriate page letting you know that you can use it, and then below buried in regular print it states that if you want better performance to use 91 or higher.

But i will add. While not the Mustang Ecoboost. A friend has an edge and he was telling me how it seemed to be bucking and hesitant at times especially when accelerating. I hooked up my live scan tool and we road around. It was knocking something fierce and having huge ignition corrections. I asked him what fuel he has been running he stated 87 per dealership. I encouraged him to atleast run 89 preferably 91+. He filled witha tank 91 it cleared up and has been running 89 since with no problems. This wasn't a case of a single bad fill of 87 or a bad station. He said it was happening for weeks and filling up wherever he was and needed to. While the requiremented minimum is 87 and many have ran it perfectly fine. I personally wouldn't as there is that off chance yours won't like it as his didn't.

I still remember being able to get Sunoco 260 fuel at their stations which of course was leaded gas, but it was 100 octane and only 60 cents per gallon. Gas was 25 cent per gallon when I started driving in the early 70s. It was like 10 years ago that we had one station that sold 100 unleaded at the pump for 4.50 per gallon, My 76 and 77 year model hot rodded bikes loved it and had such a sweet smell out the exhaust.

Boum is the author of four novels, including Les Maquisards, which received the Grand prix littéraire de l’Afrique Noire. Days Come and Go (Les jours viennent et passent), was the winner of the Prix Amadou Kourouma. Hemley was born in Cameroon, where she studied anthropology before relocating to Lille, France, to study international trade. She currently lives in Paris, France. Abi had been driving around the neighborhood for the past fifteen minutes when a car in front of the hospital drove away, freeing up a parking spot. Maybe there’s a god after all, she thought to herself, slotting her car into the spot. Her mother, Anna, was asleep and snoring noisily. The early morning wash, the few steps down the stairs, the four mouthfuls of yogurt—painfully swallowed—and lastly the half-hour ride in Paris’s mid-morning traffic jam had gotten the best of her. Ordinarily, she enjoyed the ride across the city. She would observe, saying something about all the details Abi now overlooked. The Haussmannian buildings, she’d say, were built at an ideal angle to reflect light, their shadows standing out like cathedrals on the asphalt. “Stop, we can spare two minutes, right?” she asked. Although weakened by sickness, she was still adamant. Anna had woken up and spotted a small street flanked by blooming cherries. “Pull over so we can stroll for a bit, would you?” Abi obliged without protest. Her mother pulled herself out of the car laboriously and inhaled the cold air. Then she took Abi’s arm by the elbow, always in the same way, and slowly they walked, seeking out the sidewalks lit up by the early spring sun. Anna greeted passers-by, stopped to chat with garbage collectors, gave change to beggars—quite unlike the average Parisian. When her pace slowed as she ran out of breath, Abi picked a café where they could sit on the terrace. The old lady always ordered the sticky treacle Parisian cafés call hot chocolate. Some days, more frequently now, her pain ruined her appetite, robbing her of the taste of food. She would then content herself with raising the huge mug to her nose and taking long inhales of its aroma. “This is good,” she said, smiling. Abi smiled back. She had to submit an article to the culture magazine she worked for, about a performance by a white South African artist portraying Black people in cages and reenacting the human zoos of the early twentieth century. Art morphed into obscene voyeurism, insult and, dressed up like that, was on open display all over the world. She also had to create content for her blog, meet the manager of the nursery about her little Jenny, do some shopping, and think about that evening’s dinner. Her time was precious, fleeting; some mornings, the young woman woke up to the feeling that she was already two hours behind schedule. None of that mattered. Every minute, every hour was pegged to her mother’s hand holding her by the elbow, to the sick old lady’s erratic step, her emaciated features, her short breath… My mother is dying, oh mother… They had reached the terminal phase of the illness. Abi barely slept. She woke up frightened by the silence if her mother wasn’t making any sound. Or when even the least suspicious sound seeped from the next room. One night, she ended up coming out when she heard her mother in the corridor. Abi switched on the ceiling light and, just in time, held her mother back as she was about to take the stairs. “Mother, where are you off to?” Anna, blinded by the light, had stopped in her tracks. “Oh, Abi, did I wake you? I’m sorry, go back to bed. I am going to the bathroom. Everything’s fine.” No, everything was not fine. Her mother, confused in the darkness, would have fallen down the stairs had Abi not stepped in. She was forced to exercise a calm she did not feel, not even remotely. Her hands trembled and, in her stomach, and down her spine, she felt an unsettling tickle like an electric shock: irrepressible fear, a certainty that things would only grow worse and that there wasn’t much she could do about it. Abi had led her mother to the toilet: “Wait outside, please. I can still wipe myself, you know.” The old lady had smiled. Abi hadn’t responded. Her mother could no longer take care of her basic personal hygiene, she who was always such a clean freak. The young woman would return to the bathroom later to clean the floor if necessary. It did not bother her, not anymore. The first time Anna had unconsciously soiled herself and then the bathroom floor, the shock had rattled Abi so violently that it left her paralyzed. She stared at the feces as if they themselves would realize the strangeness of the situation and disappear out of shame. Then she had scrubbed and mopped the floor, then cleaned her mother. If she didn’t do it, no one else would. That night, Abi had brought her mother back to her own bed. “You should consider hiring a home care nurse,” the doctor had advised after her last hospitalization. “Your mother wants to stop chemotherapy. Her state will worsen quite rapidly. We can reduce the pain, but not by much. She no longer has the strength to take care of herself.” She is sick, not deaf. She is still very much in her right mind. She is conscious of what is happening to her. Speak to her like a human being, Abi protested under her breath. She did not want to antagonize the doctor, the nurses, anyone who could ease her mother’s pain. With gritted teeth, she endured their coldness, the raw, technical, definitive words they dished out with professionalism and indifference. The untreated breast cancer had metastasized. It had spread to her pancreas and liver. Chemotherapy would enable her to live six months, a year at most. This time would decrease drastically if she continued refusing treatment. And Anna continued refusing. The aftermath of her first chemotherapy session had convinced her to stop her treatment. “Well, if the poison they are pumping into my body can’t save me, I would rather stop,” she had objected to an exasperated Abi. Treat her kindly. I know you see helpless, terminally ill beings every day. I understand the need to keep their suffering at a safe distance, but you must understand: to me, this woman is much more than just a failing body, Abi pleaded silently. She is a loved one, a precious life ebbing away in silence. Abi did not reach out to any nurses. She was horrified by the mere thought of a stranger touching her mother’s enfeebled body. Some mornings, the old lady examined herself in the mirror. Her hair and eyebrows, now lost. Her muscles, shrunken under flappy skin. She felt like an empty envelope. She even had a glazed look in her eyes now. “Do you remember how beautiful my hair used to be?” she murmured, caressing her hairless skull. Yes, Abi could remember. What nurse could boast of such a special skill? “You’re my mother now,” Anna told her. “I never knew mine; it has taken me getting old and falling sick to taste a mother’s love.” Yet, the illness spread at such speed that Abi’s sacrifice was rendered useless. The cancer was literally eating away at her mother from within. Abi imagined it as rats gnawing on her liver, stomach, pancreas…stopping only when they’d devoured every single inch of her body. In the beginning, she’d hoped every moment of happiness would keep the old lady alive, the same way one uses all manner of tricks to hold back guests at the end of a dinner. “You can’t leave now. Have some more dessert. Do you care for tea? Come on, take one for the road!” Walks in Paris, hot chocolate, butter croissants on café terraces, little Jenny’s laughter, visits from her son, Maxime… Indeed, in the beginning, all of this had meaning, but not anymore. Pain clogged the present, permeating every moment of joy. Smiles turned to grimaces. I do not know how to help you anymore, mother. I do not dare touch you anymore. I’m scared I would hurt you without meaning to. I’m scared I would do something clumsy and make you more uncomfortable while trying to ease your pain. I’m sorry, mother, so sorry. I don’t know how to help you anymore. Abi cried on their way to the palliative care unit. Her mother sat snoring in the car. The desolation and torment of the past few days had been terrifying; nothing brought her any relief. Initially, Anna had forced herself to maintain an ounce of normalcy, but her weak body no longer obeyed her. Any physical effort exhausted her. Her every gesture grew slow, labored. She stopped getting up from her bed in the morning or feeding herself. The least sip of water triggered groans of pain. “Mother please, just one sip, try again,” Abi kept insisting. Deep within Abi, a harsher, more urgent voice echoed: I’m not ready. I do not want to lose you now. I’m not ready… Even deeper within her echoed an awareness of the imminent end and the futility of her prayers. “Look, mother, it’s spring. The plane trees are green, cherries are in bloom, potted flowers on windowsills are blossoming in the sun, garages are draped with colors, girls are baring their tanned legs. Paris is looking at herself in the mirror of light and smiling back at her reflection, look mother…” __________________________________ From Days Come and Go by Hemley Boum, translated by Nchanji Njamnsi.

There is one problem with the entirely justified if self-interested media squawking about the Justice Department snooping into the phone records of multiple Associated Press reporters and Fox News' James Rosen.
The problem is that what the AP reporters and Rosen did arguably violates the letter of the law.
The search warrant in the Rosen case cites Section 793(d) of Title 18 of the U.S. Code.
Section 793(d) says that a person lawfully in possession of information that the government has classified as secret who turns it over to someone not lawfully entitled to possess it has committed a crime. That might cover Rosen's source.
Section 793(g) is a conspiracy count that says that anyone who conspires to help the source do that has committed the same crime. That would be the reporter.
It sounds like this law criminalizes a lot of journalism. You might wonder how such a law ever got passed and why, for the last 90 years, it has very seldom produced prosecutions and investigations of journalists.
The answer: This is the Espionage Act of 1917, passed two months after the United States entered World War I. In his 1998 book "Secrecy," the late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan tells the story of how the law came into being.
Congress was responding to incidents of German espionage before the declaration of war. In July 1916, German agents blew up the Black Tom munitions dump in New York Harbor. The explosion was loud enough to be heard from Connecticut to Maryland.
The Espionage Act was passed with bipartisan support in a Democratic Congress and strongly supported by Democratic President Woodrow Wilson.
Wilson wanted even more. "Authority to exercise censorship over the press is absolutely necessary," he wrote a senator. He got that authority in May 1918 when Congress passed the Sedition Act criminalizing, among other things, "abusive language" about the government.
Wilson's Justice Department successfully prosecuted Eugene Debs, the Socialist candidate who received 900,000 votes for president in 1912, for making statements opposing the war.
The Wilson administration barred socialist newspapers from the mails, jailed a filmmaker for making a movie about the Revolutionary War (don't rile our British allies) and prosecuted a minister who claimed Jesus was a pacifist.
German-language books were removed from libraries, German-language newspapers forced out of business and one state banned speaking German outdoors.
It was an ugly period in our history. It's also a reminder that big government liberals can be as much inclined to suppress civil liberties as small government conservatives -- or more so.
Fortunately, things changed after Wilson left office. A Republican Congress allowed the Sedition Act to expire in 1921.
Debs, who received 915,000 votes for president in 1920 while in Atlanta federal prison, was pardoned by Republican President Warren Harding (a former journalist) and invited to the White House.
The Espionage Act of 1917 remained on the books and was amended to cover news media. But it was used sparingly.
Franklin Roosevelt, who served in the Wilson administration, didn't use it in World War II. When his attorney general urged him to prosecute the Chicago Tribune for a story three days before Pearl Harbor detailing military plans for a possible world war, he brushed the recommendation aside.
That despite the fact that New Deal Democrats were as paranoid about the Republican and isolationist Tribune as conservatives have been in recent times about the New York Times.
Roosevelt did order the internment of West Coast Japanese-Americans in 1942. But an act apologizing for that and providing restitution was passed with bipartisan majorities and signed by Ronald Reagan in 1988.
Presidents and attorneys general of both parties have been reluctant to use the Espionage Act when secret information has been leaked to the press because they have recognized that it is overbroad.
They have understood, as Moynihan argues in "Secrecy," that government classifies far too many things as secrets, even as it has often failed to protect information that truly needs to stay secret.
Barack Obama and his Justice Department seem to be of a different mind. They have used the Espionage Act of 1917 six times to bring cases against government officials for leaks to the media six times -- twice as many as all their predecessors combined.
"Gradually, over time," Moynihan writes, "American government became careful about liberties." Now, suddenly, it seems to be moving in the other direction.

If you’ve found yourself debating liberal friends on Facebook about Hillary Clinton’s email scandal recently, you’ve probably noticed that they are clueless.
They don’t know what Clinton did, and how she lied about what she did. They don’t know the basic law under which she was investigated, which is part of the Espionage Act. More interestingly, when shown the facts, most seem unable to admit she did something wrong, and that they are voting for her anyway, for other reasons. They are in denial.
There are a few reasons for their willful ignorance — some of which are specific to the political left, and some of which have to do with the nature of social media itself.
First, let us stipulate that there is some amount of ignorance on both sides, even — and sometimes especially — among otherwise well-informed people. We tend to filter out information that reflects badly on a candidate we have already chosen to support, and to focus on information that reflects badly on a candidate whom we oppose.
But the political left filters out more information than the political right. That is because the left, more than the right, tends to punish people who have the “wrong” views by marginalizing them.
In recent years, for example, college campuses — which lean heavily to the left — have increasingly “disinvited” controversial speakers, who are almost always conservative. If you worry that your friends might abandon you, you are less likely to consider facts that could lead you to contrarian conclusions.
Also, people on the left are less likely to be exposed to right-wing views than people on the right are likely to be exposed to left-wing views. That is because there are more liberal news outlets than conservative ones — even if individual conservative sources (like Breitbart) often are more successful.
On Facebook, the problem is particularly acute, because there is evidence that Facebook has deliberately suppressed news from conservative sources. The left-wing media bubble is simply thicker.
Yet part of the problem is simply the nature of social media, which is increasingly where Americans obtain their news.
Social media should theoretically make it easier for us to communicate with, and understand, one another. In practice, social media makes it easier to talk to people who already agree with us, and ignore or attack those who disagree. (The divisions among Republicans over Trump, for example, are probably far worse than they would have been in the absence of social media.)
There is, paradoxically, a narcissistic quality to social media. When people share baby pictures on Facebook, for example (as I do almost daily), they are not only communicating with distant relatives, but also admiring the pictures themselves. The same applies, especially, to “selfies.” People are more self-aware when they share personal information on social media.
And the same is true when they share news or opinion articles: they tend to share what makes them feel good about themselves.
Companies that produce social media content understand that, and so they shape articles (like this one, for example) so that the headlines and descriptions flatter the pre-existing views of their readers — which they, in turn, also shape and reinforce. Liberal websites like Buzzfeed and Huffington Post — which have explicit anti-Trump editorial policies — do it, and so do conservative sites like Breitbart.
What is different about the Clinton email scandal is there is literally nothing good about it. There are only two options: either Clinton committed a crime, or she was careless with national security. And either way, she lied shamelessly.
None of those alternatives makes Clinton supporters feel good. In theory, it should be possible for them to say: “You’re right — she lied, she was extremely careless, but I still support her” for whatever reason.
A Clinton supporter might say that face-to-face. But it’s like a frowny baby picture — understandable, perhaps, but not flattering. Denial is the much easier option.

Columbus Crew defender Lalas Abubakari expressed gratitude to coach Greg Berhalter after making his Major Soccer League debut on Tuesday.
The 22-year-old played full throttle as the Crew recorded a 1-0 win at Minnesota United on Tuesday.
Abubakari joined the Black and Gold this season during the super draft.
“It’s really tough,” Abubakar said. “It’s really hard, all these troubles, not playing. But, I think part of it is the coaches.
''They kept telling me to be patient and that my time is going to come. So, I think that’s what I’ve used to help me keep going. And I take it as payoff today. [Crew SC Sporting Director and Head Coach Gregg Berhalter] finally gave me the opportunity to show it and I was able to do it, so, I’m really happy.”

Right-wing extremists have a new way to foist their repulsive beliefs on us. After suffering a humiliating defeat in the Supreme Court in their battle against same-sex marriage, they have hit upon a formula designed to lure gullible Americans into believing that transgender people are sexual predators lurking in restrooms, eager to prey on the opposite sex. They have declared their first victory in North Carolina, where a wide-ranging so-called bathroom bill, HB2, was passed by the Republican-dominated Legislature during a special session and speedily signed into law by Republican Gov. Pat McCrory.
The innocuously named Public Facilities Privacy and Security Act blatantly overrides protections against transgender discrimination (and other forms) in cities and municipalities in North Carolina — specifically, the protections offered by a newly passed ordinance in the city of Charlotte that was to take effect Friday. The state bill is primarily designed to force transgender people to use public restrooms that match the gender on their birth certificates rather than their gender identity.
So far more than 20 states are considering variations of such bills. Among them is Michigan, which, one might imagine, has more urgent things to worry about (such as Flint’s poisoned water), and Kansas, which has gone further than others by adding a clause that would offer a $2,500 bounty to those who catch transgender people in prohibited restrooms. Mississippi even includes a section allowing homophobes to dictate how people can dress.
In an interview on “Rising Up With Sonali,” Mara Keisling, executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality, explained to me that this wave of “bathroom bills” can be traced to the fact that “a lot of the right-wing extremist groups that were fighting marriage equality lost. And they have to continue to prove their relevance.” She added, “I think they thought transgender people were an easy target who nobody would stand up for.”
The history of restrooms and who gets to use them is fraught with controversy in the United States. It was not too long ago when black and brown Americans were forced to use separate facilities from whites. The idea that white Americans might be sullied if they came into contact with people of color during their most private moments offers a parallel to today’s fear-mongering against transgender people. “They’re trying to paint us as sexual predators,” said Keisling. She cited the familiar trope: “The ‘other’ is coming for your women and children,” which is often employed by those in power to rally support. “Donald Trump saying that Mexican immigrants are rapists is part of that horrid tradition,” she said.
Restrooms are touchy terrain in general. But for transgender people, according to Keisling, they are even more complicated, because “most people don’t understand what public restrooms mean for us. It isn’t just about convenience or even safety.” If a trans woman is not allowed to use a women’s restroom, she is essentially being told that her only option is to use the men’s restroom. But she can’t do that, because no woman, trans or otherwise, would feel comfortable in a men’s restroom. By using the men’s restroom, she would make everyone around her uncomfortable — and worse, she would jeopardize her own safety, given the level of violence aimed at transgender people. Ultimately it would mean she couldn’t use a restroom at work or school. In other words, she would become a second-class citizen, whose only option would be to limit her lifestyle. In a very concrete way, these “bathroom bills” dehumanize transgender people.
Most of the bills are aimed at public restrooms, affecting public schools and in turn hurting the most vulnerable among us: transgender children. “We hear about kids who won’t drink any fluids in the morning or all throughout the day because they don’t want to have to maybe use the bathroom at school,” Keisling said.
Already, transgender people are among the most marginalized in our society. It is estimated that one-third of 1 percent of Americans identify as transgender. A whopping 41 percent of them has attempted suicide. Also, transgender Americans are often the victims of violence. The year 2015 saw a sharp increase in the number of transgender homicides, leading some members of Congress to declare that there is an “epidemic of violence” against the community. Just days ago, a transgender woman on Los Angeles’ Skid Row, Kourtney Yochum, was fatally gunned down, allegedly by her former lover.
Other socio-economic indicators also point to a depressing reality. Poverty and homelessness are rampant among transgender Americans — Caitlyn Jenner is hardly representative of most members of the community in terms of wealth and stability. Transgender people also face disproportionate discrimination in access to housing, health care and employment.
For right-wing politicians to take such overt aim at a community that our society has so deeply failed is criminal. “Bathroom bills” would exacerbate the hostility that many transgender people already face. They would foster the general public’s impressions of criminal behavior by transgender people in restrooms. Keisling related a story of a friend who Googled incidents of transgender people preying on others in restrooms and only found “three Republican legislators who had been arrested for doing bad things in a bathroom.” Among them was former Republican Sen. Larry Craig, who was once arrested on charges of “engaging in lewd conduct” in a restroom. (Craig later pleaded guilty to a lesser charge.) Meanwhile, one report concluded that there are no known cases of transgender people assaulting others in a restroom.
In 2010, Max Blumenthal’s best-selling book “Republican Gomorrah” detailed a “bestiary of dysfunction, scandal, and crime from the heart of the movement that runs the Republican Party.” Some in that movement are now taking aim at transgender people. Perhaps they are projecting their own ugly thoughts of debauchery onto transgender people. Mike Huckabee, who dropped out of the current Republican presidential race, said in 2015 at a religious convention, “Now I wish that someone told me that when I was in high school that I could have felt like a woman when it came time to take showers in PE. I’m pretty sure that I would have found my feminine side and said, ‘Coach, I think I’d rather shower with the girls today.’ “
What is truly frightening is that the “bathroom bills” are creating a dangerous myth with no basis in reality, and some Americans are actually buying into the fear. Keisling shared that in North Carolina she met people who “really were convinced that the Charlotte City Council passed a law making it legal for male rapists to go into the women’s room and rape people.” One woman who testified at a hearing on such a bill in Maryland in 2014 said, “I don’t want men who think they are women in my bathrooms.” A 2014 poll found that a majority of Americans think transgender people should use restrooms corresponding with their biological sex at birth.
Republicans are obviously feeding on the public’s pervasive ignorance for political gains. Keisling cited the dismal fact that “only 20 percent of Americans actually know someone who is transgender.” It is harder to dehumanize people we know and whose humanity we face directly. As the marriage equality movement has shown, attitudes can and do change through concerted public awareness campaigns, and that kind of thing is desperately needed to protect the rights of transgender people.
Thankfully so far, the only state to legalize discrimination against transgender people by passing a “bathroom bill” is North Carolina. And that state is now facing an intense backlash from big business, including American Airlines (which has a major hub in Charlotte), Apple, Dow Chemical, PayPal and others. The state’s “single largest economic event,” an annual furniture expo, is threatened with failure because of massive cancellations prompted by the law. The state’s attorney general, Roy Cooper, called HB2 “an embarrassment” and has said he will refuse to defend it against legal challenges. Two transgender men have already filed a lawsuit against it. If North Carolina’s law is vociferously denounced and eventually overturned, it will send a strong message to other states that “bathroom bills” can be assumed dead on arrival in state legislatures.
Ultimately this struggle isn’t over bathrooms. It is over who gets to enjoy their constitutionally protected rights and be considered fully human. | positive |
There's more good news for TNT. The network's second scripted launch of the summer, The Last Ship, set a new 2014 high for cable. Sunday's premiere took in 5.3 million viewers.
The open, heavily promoted for the last few months during TNT's coverage of the NBA playoffs, led into the return for Falling Skies. The latest season of the alien drama brought in respectable 3.7 million viewers at 10 p.m.., though not quite at the level of last year's premiere (4.2 million).
PHOTOS Summer TV Preview: 33 New Series on Cable and Broadcast
An especially strong Sunday comes just two weeks after the new Monday pairing of Major Crimes and Murder in the First debuted to good ratings. In fact, the Michael Bay-produced series now ranks as TNT's most-watched drama telecast of the year, edging out Major Crimes by 100,000 viewers.
The Last Ship fared even better looking at the whole night. It grossed 7.4 million viewers over the night, with demo hauls of 2.6 million adults 25-54 and 2.3 million adults 18-49. TNT still has several more originals slated for the summer — including new entry Legends on Aug. 13.

Ms. Lerner’s lawyer, William W. Taylor III, said: “Today’s vote has nothing to do with the facts or the law. Its only purpose is to keep the baseless I.R.S. ‘conspiracy’ alive through the midterm elections.”
Republican leaders seem sensitive to that criticism, and they insisted on Wednesday that their interest lay only in exposing the truth of a large administration-led cover-up. “This is not going to be a sideshow. This is not going to be a circus,” Speaker John A. Boehner said. Then, his voice rising in anger, he went through the list of investigations that conservatives have pursued to frustratingly inconclusive ends.
“When is the administration going to tell the American people the truth? They’ve not told the truth about Benghazi, they’ve not told the truth about the I.R.S,” he said. “One would have to guess if they’re not willing to tell the American people the truth, it must not be very pretty.”
Democrats mocked their Republican colleagues. “It is a circus,” said Representative Jackie Speier of California. “Psychologists will tell you that when somebody says something is not, it clearly is.”
Before the vote on Ms. Lerner, Representative Elijah E. Cummings, Democrat of Maryland, listed what the investigation has yielded so far: $14 million spent by the I.R.S. responding to a stream of requests from Congress, and hundreds of thousands of pages of documents. “After all of that, we have not found any evidence of White House involvement,” he said. “I will not walk a path that has been treaded by Senator Joseph McCarthy.”
Republicans, however, are not the first to use the contempt process in Congress to go after opponents. In 2008 the House, then led by Democrats, held President George W. Bush’s chief of staff, Joshua B. Bolten, and his counsel, Harriet B. Miers, in contempt in connection with an investigation into whether certain Justice Department lawyers were removed for political reasons.
Through four separate House investigations, Republicans have sought to link Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton to a politically motivated effort to obscure what really happened in Benghazi. | positive |

The race for Rookie of the Year will be interesting, to say the least, but don't sleep on Donovan Mitchell.
Written by Trey Sanders on 14 October 2017
Donovan Mitchell might be one of the best draft day acquisitions the Utah Jazz have picked up since they grabbed Deron Williams with the third overall pick in 2005. The impact D-Will made in Utah can’t be understated, but the one thing that sticks out the most for him was when he led the Jazz to their first Western Conference Championship series since 1998, in the 2006-2007 season, where they lost to the eventual NBA champions, the San Antonio Spurs. With that said, Donovan Mitchell echoes that same energy and dominance, but will he have the same impact so quickly? It’s safe to say yes, because he is, in every sense of the phrase, ready for the NBA.
During his freshman year at Louisville, he was coming off the bench and played 19.1 minutes per game. He averaged 7.4 points per game and made nearly half of his 190 shots at .445 a game, but his three-point shooting was atrocious, taking 72 shots and making just 18 of them, good for .250 percent. He was also a better distributor than he was a pest on the defensive end, dishing out 52 assists and 25 steals. His junior year was a different story, however, he averaged 32.3 minutes per game and contributed a solid 15.6 points per game, making .408 percent of the 444 shots he took from the floor and put down .354 percent of his 226 threes. Both his assists and steals numbers saw a nice improvement as well, 93 and 70 respectively.
In his Summer League debut, we got a glimpse of just about everything he is capable of. For starters, he’s fast, blisteringly fast. So much so that he ran the three-quarter sprint in 3.01 seconds, which is reportedly the fastest in combine history. With that kind of speed and his 6’10” wingspan, he can cut off passing lanes quickly. Couple that with his 40.5” vertical, and he can elevate to block some of the taller players in the league and disrupt, if not block overhead passes or lobs to the basket. With his speed and his 211-pound frame, he’s not afraid to cut to the basket, on or off the ball, making him a dangerous threat in the paint. David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz, discussed some of the things he saw from him in his pre-draft workout as well as what he is seeing from him now during a phone interview with Spencer Checketts and Gordon Monson on the Big Show. “He’s just got it, he’s just really good. He’s got a catch and shoot game that is elite level. His catch and shoot game reminded me of the best catch and shoot guys in the league” he later went on to say “this kid, he’s got it all, I think he’ll have a rookie season similar to Damian Lillard”.
With Dante Exum going down with yet another season-ending injury, Donovan Mitchell will play a much bigger role than he or even Quin Snyder were initially expecting. Raul Neto will most likely take the reigns as the backup point guard behind Ricky Rubio, but Donovan Mitchell should see more time on the court because of his abilities on offense and defense. Most rookies see between 11 to 14 minutes per game, but I’m willing to bet that Donovan Mitchell will see substantially more in his rookie year. With the departure of Gordon Hayward (who looks terrible in a Celtics jersey by the way) Quin Snyder had to re-write their offensive scheme to take advantage of the speed and athleticism that this year's roster has, including all of the extra opportunities they’ll have with their defensive stops, and Donovan will play a huge role in all of it. The pre-season was full of lackluster talent for the Jazz to play against, and Mitchell has yet to see the real talent of the NBA, but boy does he look like he’s ready for the gauntlet. There may already be favorites for Rookie of the Year (Lonzo Ball, Ben Simmons, Markelle Fultz and Dennis Smith), but Donovan Mitchell has more tools at his disposal than his counterparts, he’s already a complete package. Another advantage for him is every aforementioned player will get most of the attention, whereas the Jazz never get the time on television they deserve, so while ESPN, TNT, and the rest of the basketball community talks about them, he’ll be able to play his game and sneak up on everybody to steal that coveted Rookie of the Year trophy. And now, to leave you ore Donovan Mitchell highlights from the pre-season. | positive |
Anthony Hetherington (Photo: Greene County Sheriff's Office)
When a customer raised a maroon towel to his face, police say a Springfield gas station manager grew suspicious.
The customer allegedly raised his shirt to show a gun a tucked in his waistband.
But police say the manager had already drawn his 9-millimeter handgun.
By the time officers arrived at the gas station at about 1 a.m. on Dec. 9, the would-be robber was lying face down on the ground while the manager held him at gunpoint, court documents say.
The incident is described in a probable cause statement used to charge Anthony Hetherington, 18, with first-degree attempted robbery.
According to the statement, the gun tucked into Hetherington's waistband turned out to be a BB gun.
The statement said the attempted robbery took place at the Fast 'N Friendly at 427 S. Glenstone Ave.

After his arrest, Hetherington told investigators that he was smoking marijuana with a friend before deciding to walk to a nearby gas station with the BB gun, the statement said.
Police allegedly found $120 in cash, two baggies believed to contain marijuana and a glass pipe in his pocket.
Court records show Hetherington posted his $15,000 bond. He does not have an attorney listed in online court records.
Attempts to reach the manager were unsuccessful.

H-E-B is declining interviews at this time out of respect for the family.
Brewster County Sheriff Ronny Dodson tells CBS 7 that searches are now being focused to tips law enforcement receive. On Monday crews searched five different locations after receiving tips of suspicious circumstances, which turned out to be grass that had been pushed down after search teams had gone through the area previously.

Wednesday 10-26 3:00PM Update: The boyfriend of Zuzu Verk, Robert Fabian, has officially been named as a suspect in the disappearance of Zuzu.
According to Alpine Police Chief Russell Scown, the change from Fabian being a Person of Interest to a suspect came after the investigation had progressed up to this point, including information learned 'from over 100 interviews'.
Chief Scown says that there are other Persons of Interest in the case that 'are mainly his (Robert Fabian's) family' as investigators believe they have more information about Zuzu's disappearance, but are not being cooperative with the investigation.
Investigator spoke with Fabian's mother and sister on Tuesday though Chief Scown could not disclose how the interviews went or what was discussed.
Chief Scown says that as of right now investigators are hoping Fabian appears with an attorney to answer questions and meet.

"It's an open door, you know, please come in and help us find out where Zuzu is."
Scown added that while this part of the investigation has changed, search crews will continue their work and investigators are still following up on any and all leads they receive.

Estrada was questioned for roughly 4.5 hours while also taking a polygraph test. Brewster County Sheriff Ronny Dodson says that the test did not clear Estrada from the investigation.
The mustang has now been returned to Estrada.
Tuesday 10-25 2:00PM Update: The Brewster County Sheriff's office is asking hunters to be aware of their surroundings this hunting season in the chance that they come across anything connected to Zuzu Verk.

Tuesday 10-25 10:30AM Update: According to the Alpine Police Department the search continues for Zuzu Verk throughout Brewster County and neighboring counties.
Two drones provided by the Reeves County Sheriff's Office and Texas Equusearch are now being used to search South Presidio County along the Rio Grande river and Northeast Brewster County north of Marathon near Sanderson in Terrell County.
Anyone with information in the case is asked to contact the Alpine Police Department at (432) 837-3486.
Tuesday 10-25 9:30AM Update: A vigil was held in the City of Keller Monday night as friends and family prayed that she will be found.
Candle light and music filled the air near Bear Creek, where Zuzu's friends had a message for her family.
"Just to show the support her family has back here in Keller as they're away in Alpine so that's really what I hope and prayer and love support and good energy," said Hannah Lewis, a friend of Zuzu.
Monday 10-24 5:00PM Update: Chris Estrada, a key witness in the case whose Mustang was impounded during the investigation will partake in questioning Tuesday morning, Alpine Police Chief Russell Scown tells CBS 7.

Original Story: Zuzu Renee Verk, a student and employee of Sul Ross State University was reported missing Friday evening after she was last heard from Wednesday morning.
In a post on Facebook, the Alpine Police Department gave Zuzu's description as a 22-year-old white female who is approximately 5'0'', 110 pounds with blonde hair and blue eyes, and stated that she may be endangered.
According to Zuzu's mother Lori Verk, Zuzu went out to the movies with a group of friends and an on-again off-again boyfriend Tuesday night. Lori adds that along with not hearing from Zuzu, she also hasn't heard from the boyfriend.
Since the word got out that Zuzu was missing, fliers were posted around the city at several businesses with residents showing their support for the missing girl's friends and family, as friends searched the Trans-Pecos area and a family friend planned on posting missing signs in the Midland-Odessa area.
Residents told CBS 7 that Zuzu had last been seen on Harrison Street around 3:30 a.m. Wednesday morning, and at a nearby apartment police tape was found around a scene.
Another unconfirmed report stated that Zuzu was last seen leaving the Stripes Convenience store with an unidentified man. While Stripes Convenience Stores Communications Manager Jeff Shields could not confirm whether or not that was the case, he stated that the store has extensive surveillance systems and that they will work with the Alpine Police Department to provide any evidence that will help with the search.
A volunteer search party was held Sunday, that included helicopters, a search dog and nearly 150 people from the Alpine community.
According to Alpine Police Chief Russell Scown, the search involved resources from law enforcement agencies from across West Texas.
"At this point we are looking for anything and everything. We have very limited info as to what might have happened to Zuzu," Alpine Police Chief Russell Scown said.
On Sunday police released photos of two vehicles that they believe are connected to the case.
Police are seeking anyone who may have seen a grey 2006 Jeep Liberty and a 2004 Mazda Miata covertable with a beige top being driven between the hours of midnight and 10:00 AM on Wednesday.

Saudi Arabia has released 23 of the 200-or-so powerful individuals detained since November on corruption charges after they reached deals with the government, Okaz newspaper reported on Tuesday.
The report did not name those involved in what appeared to be the first large-scale release since the royals, business people and government officials were detained in a crackdown spearheaded by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MbS).
The suspects have been held at Riyadh’s luxurious Ritz-Carlton hotel since early November and told to hand over assets and cash in exchange for their freedom.
Okaz said more detainees would be released in the coming days and trial proceedings would begin soon for those who continue to deny the charges against them.
Saudi authorities see the settlements not as blackmail but as an obligation to reimburse money taken illegally from the world’s top oil producer over several decades.
Video posted on social media showed a smiling Saoud al-Daweesh, the former chief executive of Saudi Telecom, telling well-wishers he had been treated decently.
“Private Affairs (a unit of the royal court) brought us a full lamb dish day and night. They treated us well and did a good job,” he said.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday that among those who have been released in the past week were Ibrahim al-Assaf, a former finance minister and board member of Saudi Aramco, former assistant minister of finance Mohammed bin Homoud Al Mazyed, Prince Turki bin Khalid, and businessman Mohy Saleh Kamel.
The paper also reported on Monday that the Saudi authorities were asking billionaire Prince Al-Waleed Bin Talal, who was detained in the crackdown, for $6bn in return for his release.
The prince, who has been accused of extortion, bribery and money laundering, reportedly refused to give any such payment as doing so would be seen as an admission of guilt.
“He wants a proper investigation," said a source close to the prince, speaking to the Wall Street Journal.
"It is expected that al-Waleed will give [MbS] a hard time."
Those arrested are accused of having fleeced Saudi Arabia of billions of dollars, hence why payments are thought to be being asked for by the Saudi authorities
In November, Prince Mutaib Bin Abdullah - son of the late King Abdullah - was released from detention after reportedly paying $1bn. | positive |
Fox News and Bill O'Reilly have been hit with a lawsuit over press statements made in the wake of a New York Times story revealing the former television star had paid $13 million to five women to settle sexual harassment claims.
The story and others would cause O'Reilly to lose his job, but not before he commented, "Just like other prominent and controversial people, I'm vulnerable to lawsuits from individuals who want me to pay them to avoid negative publicity."
O'Reilly would make other comments including to The Hollywood Reporter, which is cited in today's lawsuit. "I have put to rest any controversies to spare my children," O'Reilly said in April. "The worst part of my job is being a target for those who would harm me and my employer, the Fox News Channel."
Now, Rachel Bernstein is taking objection to these comments with a complaint that cites the non-disparagement clause of the settlement agreement she had with O'Reilly in 2002, when she was allegedly harassed as a junior producer at Fox News. Currently working at Conan O'Brien's production company, Bernstein is suing for breach of contract and defamation. She's represented by the same attorneys at Smith Mullin who represented Gretchen Carlson in the retaliation lawsuit against Fox News.

The complaint, filed in New York federal court, also addresses statements from Fox News this past April. When the New York Times published its story about O'Reilly, the cable news network's parent company responded, "Notwithstanding the fact that no current or former Fox News employee ever took advantage of the 21st Century Fox hotline to raise a concern about Bill O'Reilly, even anonymously, we have looked into these matters over the last few months and discussed them with Mr. O'Reilly."
Bernstein says the statement was false.
"In fact," states the complaint, "Ms. Bernstein repeatedly complained to Fox Human Resources, Bill Shine, and other Fox executives, about Mr. O'Reilly's mistreatment and both defendant Fox News Network LLC and O'Reilly knew that before making the statement above. The statement by Fox News is deliberately misleading and in breach of Fox's agreement not to disparage Ms. Bernstein. There was no hotline at Fox during plaintiff's employment. The statement by Fox News also violated the Confidentiality Clause in the Agreement."
The complaint adds that O'Reilly is far from the "target" he portrays himself as, and instead, "he is a serial abuser and Ms. Bernstein's complaints about him were far from extortionate," with further reference to the report that O'Reilly also paid $32 million to settle harassment claims from Fox News analyst Lis Wiehl.
Bernstein is also suing the defendants for breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing as well as targeting O'Reilly for allegedly tortiously interfering with Bernstein's settlement agreement with Fox News. She's demanding an unspecified amount of damages related to her reputation, economic position and stress she endured. Punitive damages is also being sought.

The cities of San Francisco and Oakland are suing some of the world’s largest oil companies over climate change, joining an emerging legal effort to hold the fossil fuel industry accountable for the damages wrought by rising seas.
The suits, filed separately in Superior Court in San Francisco and Alameda County and announced Wednesday, claim that a slate of oil, gas and coal producers not only caused the heat-trapping gases that drove sea level rise but knowingly did so, a challenge akin to litigation against big tobacco companies in the 1990s.
Both cities are asking the companies, which include Bay Area-based Chevron, ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil, Shell and BP, to pay billions in compensation for past and future flooding, coastal erosion and property damage resulting from climate change.
“The bill has come due,” said San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera. “It’s time for these companies to take responsibility.”
Now Playing:
The lawsuits, filed Tuesday, come two months after the counties of Marin and San Mateo, as well as the San Diego County city of Imperial Beach, filed similar challenges amid a growing push to use the courts to go after individual corporations for their contribution to global warming.
Earlier legal attempts to tie specific companies to the problem have been scant and largely ineffective. But as scientific advancements make it increasingly possible to pinpoint the causes of climate change, and with the Trump administration sidelining the issue, law experts say both the number of suits against the fossil fuel industry and their chances of success are bound to grow.
“With the federal administration pulling back, it doesn’t surprise me that more people are turning to the courts,” said Sean Hecht, co-executive director of the Emmett Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the UCLA School of Law. “It’s possible that the courts will be more sympathetic to claims when there isn’t concurrent federal regulatory action moving forward.”
Representatives from the oil industry, including Chevron officials, said the legal action was not productive.
“Chevron welcomes serious attempts to address the issue of climate change, but these suits do not do that,” said company spokeswoman Melissa Ritchie in an email. “Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is a global issue that requires global engagement and action.”
Eric Wohlschlegel, a spokesman for the American Petroleum Institute trade group, said the oil and natural gas industry had already made climate change a priority and will “play a leading role in driving down U.S. greenhouse gas and other emissions.”
Like the challenges in Marin and San Mateo counties, the lawsuits in San Francisco and Oakland argue that the oil producers constitute a public nuisance.
The suits claim the extraction and development of fossil fuels prompted a significant increase in global warming, which melted ice sheets and heated sea water so that it expanded, raising ocean levels nearly eight inches in California over the past century. As much as 10 additional feet of sea level rise may occur by 2100, according to the suit.

LAST WEEK there were two major announcements about Rupert Murdoch.
On Tuesday the Times revealed he was engaged to fellow American citizen Jerry Hall.
They’re planning a marriage.
On the same day Press Gang asked Ofcom to hold an inquiry into the media mogul’s fitness to hold the Sky TV licence.
We’re planning a divorce.
If Ofcom declares Murdoch “unfit”, his forthcoming bid to take overall control of the broadcaster will fail.
He tried before — an attempt in 2011 was wrecked by the phone hacking scandal.
If he’s found “unfit”, Murdoch will also be forced to sell his remaining 39 per cent stake in the broadcaster.
It will be the end of his TV empire in the UK.
Ofcom has acknowledged receipt of our request but has not formally responded.
This article spells out why this could be an important battlefield …
♦♦♦ IN JANUARY 1999 the Sun ran a World Exclusive. The paper had discovered Jerry Hall had decided to end her marriage with Mick Jagger. “Jagger divorce” was the front page headline on January 15. The paper reported: “The Texan model finally buckled yesterday as she ordered lawyers to start proceedings at the High Court in London.” It was a famous scoop. But how did the Sun get it? The finger points to a young reporter who joined the paper in the late 1990s. He’d discovered a new way of obtaining stories: hacking phones. Andy Coulson — associate editor at the Sun at the time — was impressed. It was later claimed he said of the reporter: “He’s a one trick pony. But what a trick!” It’s alleged the journalist was listening in to the voicemail messages of Jagger’s PR man Bernard Doherty.
Coulson and the paper had been following the Jagger-Hall “marriage” — it was later ruled invalid — closely. In November 1998, for example, the Sun discovered a lawyer acting for Jerry Hall was secretly meeting Jagger’s mistress in New York. The lawyer was hoping the woman would provide ammunition in the event of divorce proceedings. A Sun reporter was waiting for the couple when they left a restaurant. The reaction of Jagger’s girlfriend was: “Oh my God, how did you find me?” The lawyer asked the reporter: “How DID you know we were here?” (The emphasis is in the original Sun article.) Articles like these helped to build Coulson’s reputation. In 2000 he joined News of the World editor Rebekah Brooks as her deputy. He was already her lover. Coulson was married, she was in the middle of a long relationship with EastEnders actor Ross Kemp. In 2003, when Brooks was promoted to Sun editor, he took the reins of the News of the World. In 2007 the paper’s royal editor Clive Goodman was gaoled for hacking phones — and Coulson resigned. He later lied to a House of Commons select committee: “… if a rogue reporter decides to behave in that fashion I am not sure that there is an awful lot more I could have done.” The Goodman case would have been the end of most people’s career — but not Coulson’s. Just four months later Opposition Leader David Cameron made him the Tories’ Director of Communications. One of his champions was shadow Chancellor George Osborne. Osborne owed Coulson. Coulson had been kind to the shadow Chancellor. In October 2005 the Sunday Mirror published a photograph suggesting Osborne had been a cocaine user. Taken when he was 22, the snap showed him with his arm around a dominatrix known as Madam Pain. She was the partner of a friend. In the background was a line of white powder Madam Pain claimed was cocaine. The paper’s headline: “Vice Girl: I Snorted Cocaine With Top Tory Boy”.
Coulson also published the picture but the News of the World was unusually sympathetic. “It was a stark lesson,” Osborne said, “of the destruction which drugs bring to so many people’s lives.” He denied using cocaine. When David Cameron became Prime Minister, Coulson joined him at No 10. When the phone hacking scandal broke in 2011, Coulson resigned. The rest is history: in July 2014 he was gaoled for 18 months for phone hacking. There’s nothing new in the rise and fall of Andy Coulson — but it underlines the seriousness of the wrong-doing at Murdoch’s newspapers. It forms part of our case that, by allowing Coulson to run a criminal enterprise at the News of the World, Rupert Murdoch is “unfit” to run Sky …
♦♦♦
INCREDIBLY MURDOCH is now poised to make a new bid for Sky. Like the film Back To The Future — where a time traveller changes the past — it’s as if the criminal enterprise that thrived at the Sun and News of the World had never happened. In 2011 David Cameron wouldn’t touch Murdoch with a barge pole. Now they’re best friends again. The once disgraced Rebekah Brooks is back as chief executive of Murdoch’s British newspapers. The scene is set for Murdoch to make another bid for the 61 per cent of the company his 21st Century Fox business doesn’t already own. He’s been quietly preparing the ground — the company recently changed its name from BSkyB to Sky plc. And it also bought Murdoch’s German and Italian satellite interests.
There are concerns the move will increase Murdoch’s share of the British market — bringing him closer to the stranglehold Silvio Berlusconi wields in Italy. When he tried to buy Sky in 2011, he was also opposed by an unlikely alliance of newspaper groups and other broadcasters. The BBC and BT joined the Guardian, Telegraph, Mirror and Daily Mail groups in calling for the bid to be blocked. But the real anxiety is over Sky News. There are fears Murdoch will try and turn it into a version of his Fox News in the USA. Fox has earned a reputation as an extreme right wing channel: its journalism the TV equivalent of the Sun. This isn’t a problem for the Tories — but it is for those for oppose Murdoch. Commercial broadcasting is tightly regulated in the UK, demnding high editorial standards and political impartiality. Murdoch plans to deal with these concerns by hiving Sky News into a separate company, guaranteeing its editorial independence in the articles of association. This solution satisfied Ofcom at the time of the 2011 bid. Some critics are reassured: the watchdog is a formidable regulator, thwarting Sky’s ambitions on several occasions. In 2006 Sky had bought an 18 per cent stake in ITV to prevent it merging with another company and creating a competitor to Sky. An Ofcom inquiry decided the stake gave Sky too much influence in the UK and, eventually, Sky was forced to sell the stake at a loss. Ofcom has also ordered Sky to reduce the price it charged rivals for the use of its material. In 2009 Murdoch’s son, James, attacked the watchdog for imposing “astonishing” burdens on broadcasters. His solution was brutal: “There is an inescapable conclusion that we must reach if we are to have a better society.” “The only reliable, durable and perpetual guarantor of independence is profit.” The danger here is that David Cameron and George Osborne also have Ofcom in their sights. In July 2009 David Cameron said that he wanted to restrict Ofcom to its “narrow technical and enforcement roles” rather than issues of public policy. “Ofcom, as we know it, will cease to exist,” he said. The Tories were unable to carry out the pledge because they were in coalition with the Liberal Democrats until 2015. Critics fear the Tories will now move to cripple Ofcom — and then quietly relax the restrictions on Sky News …
♦♦♦ THE PRESS GANG campaign — The People v. Murdoch — is designed to force Murdoch’s withdrawal from the UK TV scene. A week has passed since we asked Ofcom to launch an inquiry into the “fitness” of Rupert Murdoch and his family to be involved in British television. Under the 1996 Broadcasting Act Ofcom is charged with making sure licence holders are “fit and proper” persons to hold the licence. Ofcom has already held an inquiry, in 2012. Although it criticised James Murdoch for his handling of the phone hacking crisis, it decided there wasn’t enough evidence to take the licence away from the Murdochs. But since then a vast amount of damaging material has emerged — see the previous article, Fightback, for more details. Alongside the campaign is a petition on the 38degrees website, here. And a small crowd-funding project has been launched to pay the initial expenses of the campaign, here. You can also follow the campaign on Twitter — @pguk10

CHICAGO -- Juan Uribe needed just three games to make up for an awful start to his first season with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Uribe hit a two-run homer, Andre Ethier extended his major league-best hitting streak to 19 games and the surging Dodgers beat the Chicago Cubs 12-2 on Friday.
Pinch-hitter Marcus Thames added a two-run drive in the ninth as Los Angeles set season highs for runs and hits (14). Matt Kemp and Ethier reached base three times apiece, and A.J. Ellis contributed two hits and two RBIs.
Uribe also had a run-scoring single in the Dodgers' six-run third inning and a sacrifice fly in the sixth, giving him nine RBIs in his last three games and 12 this year. He is batting .435 (10-for-23) in his last six games after opening the year in a .143 rut (7-for-49).
"I feel real good right now," he said. "Before, I wasn't hitting. Now, I'm helping my team."
Chad Billingsley (2-1) made the most of all that run support, pitching into the seventh inning in his second straight solid start. He also capped Los Angeles' biggest inning of the year with an RBI single for his first hit in 2011.
"The guy knows how to pitch, for sure, and, like most veteran guys, knows how to pitch with a lead," Cubs manager Mike Quade said.
The Dodgers have won five of six, including three straight since Major League Baseball seized control of the team. Commissioner Bud Selig told owner Frank McCourt on Wednesday he will appoint a representative to oversee all aspects of the business and the day-to-day operations of the club.
"We're concentrating on what we have to do," Billingsley said. "What it takes for each game to get ready. That's the only thing we can control."
Darwin Barney hit an RBI single for the Cubs, who have scored four runs or fewer in each of their last four games. Kosuke Fukudome, batting leadoff for the sixth time this season, had three singles and walked.
Los Angeles grabbed control in the third and chased Casey Coleman (1-1). Ethier had an RBI single, Ellis drove in two with a base hit to center and Jerry Sands' bases-loaded walk forced in another run.
Ethier went 1-for-2, walked twice and scored. The All-Star right fielder is batting .417 (30-for-72) with two homers and 10 RBIs during his career-best hitting streak. | positive |
Robert Meachem wanted a fresh start.
Better yet, he decided Tuesday, would be a return home.
The former Chargers wide receiver signed a one-year deal with the Saints, the team with which he spent his first five NFL seasons before coming to San Diego in March 2012. The four-year contract guaranteed him $14 million his first two years, but the agreement proved a poor fit for both sides and ended Saturday with his release.
Texans at Chargers, 9/9/13
There was little financial upside to the weekend transaction. Meachem was due $5 million in fully guaranteed base salary, and another $1.875 million in prorated signing bonus will count against the 2013 cap. In 2014, $3.75 million in unamortized bonus will accelerate against the cap. Not until 2015 is he off the books.
But Meachem's homecoming offers at least some relief.
Off-set language was included in his base salary, as is typical with such guarantees, so San Diego will pay the receiver the difference of what he earns this season. While financial figures were not immediately available, it is expected Meachem signed for $715,000, the veteran minimum for a player of his experience.
If Meachem spends all season on the Saints roster, the $5 million in cash the Chargers owe Meachem and the cap hit that accompanies it will lower to $4.285 million. If Meachem is cut during the season, the Chargers could see only a fraction of those savings. | positive |
After winning NHL First Star of the Month for November, Rinne had struggled in his previous seven games, allowing at least three goals in all of them and going 3-3-1 with a 3.85 goals-against average and .865 save percentage.
Rinne made 31 saves and two more in the shootout to help the Predators defeat the Flyers 2-1.
PHILADELPHIA -- Nashville Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne has won a lot of games in the NHL because of his high level of skill. He mixed in a good dose of luck against the Philadelphia Flyers at Wells Fargo Center on Monday.
WATCH: All Predators vs. Flyers highlights
But he appeared to get better as the game wore on Monday, culminating in two saves in the shootout. The final Flyers shooter, forward Jakub Voracek, got Rinne out of position, but that's where some puck luck came into play.
"Got lucky on the last one," Rinne said. "He deked me out. I was doing the snowman and luckily he didn't put it in. … I want to say I saved it but I think it hit the side of the net.
"I'll take it any day."
Rinne said he needed a strong game against a solid opponent to get him back on the right track.
"I felt good," he said. "It is great to play a good game against a good team in a fun building. They have good fans. I felt good. I feel like I made some good saves."
The Predators (14-12-5) know they'll need more games like Monday from their goaltender if they're going to climb the standings.
"[Rinne] was phenomenal for us," Predators defenseman Ryan Ellis said. "I think it could have been a lot worse in that first period. He kept us in it. On the penalty kill he made some big saves and some big blocks. If anything is going to be successful you are going to need your goalie to be your best player. Tonight was no different. [Rinne] was great. We finally found a way to win a shootout."
It was apropos that Ellis scored the game-deciding goal in the shootout. On Andrew MacDonald's goal that gave the Flyers a 1-0 lead at 10:32 of the first period, the shot from the point went off Ellis' elbow and past Rinne.
Ellis beat Flyers goalie Steve Mason with a low shot in the first round of the shootout.

"We work on that once in a while here and there," Ellis said. "Everyone's got their move and more or less I decided on that one and it worked."
The Predators had tied the game when Filip Forsberg deflected Matt Irwin's point shot past Mason at 11:46 of the third period. It was Forsberg's second goal in 12 games.
Mason made 30 saves for the Flyers (19-11-4), who lost their second straight after a 10-game winning streak. The loss also ended Philadelphia's streak of six consecutive home wins.
The Flyers went 0-for-3 on the power play, including a 5-on-3 advantage for 1:24 early in the second period.
"Would have been nice to get one but you … you can control your playmaking and intensity and I thought that was good," Flyers coach Dave Hakstol said. "I liked our puck movement, the opportunities we had. We hit a post, he made a couple of good saves. We had a couple opportunities 5-on-3 to be able to stretch it."

Save of the game
At 14:40 of the first period, a puck bounced to Flyers forward Travis Konecny in front but Rinne got over and made the save.

Unsung performance of the game
Irwin made a great play along the wall at the Flyers blue line to hold in Ivan Provorov's clearing attempt in the third period and start the play that led to Forsberg's game-tying goal.
Highlight of the game
Rinne used every inch of his 6-foot-5 frame to kick his left leg out and stop Konecny from right in front at 8:28 of the third period.
"He cradled the puck and was able to scoop with his right-hand stick and I was able to get my left leg there and that was about it," Rinne said. "Just my long legs."

"He was the reason we won. We had a tough first period for whatever reason, we couldn't get it going. He kept us in it. Could easily have been 2-0, 3-0. He deserves all the credit tonight." -- Predators center Ryan Johansen on goaltender Pekka Rinne
"I think there's no excuse. We've got to find ways to come back and have energy and win a hockey game." -- Flyers goaltender Steve Mason
Need to know
The win was the Predators' first past regulation this season. They had been 0-5, including 0-3 in the shootout. … Mason became the fourth goaltender to play 200 games with the Flyers, joining Ron Hextall (489), Bernie Parent (486) and Doug Favell (215). ... The Flyers' 5-on-3 power play was their second of the season. They had seven seconds of 5-on-3 time against the Dallas Stars on Dec. 10.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday told his Belgian counterpart that Israel’s fight against jihadist terrorism was preventing an even worse migrant crisis in Europe.
Speaking at a press conference with Charles Michel at his official residence in Jerusalem, Netanyahu said the Jewish state was the only stable power in the region and was preventing the “collapse of the Western part of the Middle East.”
“Israel has been at the forefront of the countries that fight militant Islam,” said Netanyahu, noting intelligence-sharing with European countries.

“I think in a larger sense, Prime Minister, it’s important to recognize that Israel is the strongest force in the Middle East that prevents the collapse of the Western part of the Middle East. If that were to happen, we would have untold misery to many, many more millions of residents of the Middle East and a great increase flow to Europe. Israel prevents that,” Netanyahu said.
“And I think in this sense, Israel is doing an important service for the peoples of Europe, including Belgium,” the prime minister added.
The migration crisis has seen more than one million people flee war, poverty and oppression in Syria, the Middle East and North Africa for Europe. The Syrian civil war alone has forced 4.8 million people to leave Syria, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
Turkey has taken in more than 2.7 million Syrians, the UNHCR says, and is now the main host country. It is followed by Lebanon with more than one million Syrian refugees, according to the UN. The UNHCR says Jordan has taken in 655,000 Syrians, but Amman says the number is much higher, at 1.4 million. Syrian refugees have in increasing numbers traveled to, or tried to reach, Europe, making the perilous journey overground or by sea.
There are some 55,000 migrants in Israel, many of them from Sudan and Eritrea. However, the flow into Israel has been slowed to almost none since Israel built a fence on its southern border with Egypt.
Netanyahu went on to praise intelligence-sharing between Israel and Belgium on counter-terrorism efforts, as well as the $3 billion in annual trade between the two countries.
The prime minister also attributed the stalled peace process to “the persistent Palestinian refusal” to recognize Israel as a Jewish state. “This is the core of our particular conflict. I look forward to the day when we have Palestinians who are willing to recognize, finally, the Jewish state. That will be the beginning of peace and a great step forward to achieving it,” said Netanyahu.
During his trip to the Jewish state, Michel also met with President Reuven Rivlin and young Belgians living in Israel. He also visited the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial.

Colorado's Best Beef." The name of the company alone is a bold boast in a state that's home to roughly 13,000 beef producers. But the owners are willing to back up their claim.
"We can give a little more attention to the smaller details that the big [beef producers] just don't have time to do," says rancher Brian Ferris, who partnered with another ranching family to found CBB. "Agriculture usually has a certain facelessness, but our customers can pick up the phone and ask about our product."
Or they can come see where the project originates: an 8,000-acre farm thirty miles from just about everything in tiny Hoyt, Colorado, where the Ferris family has ranched for decades. While antelope play in the grassy pastures, eagles fly overhead...and cattle watch placidly as a pickup truck rumbles past. "If they're not running away from you, that basically means you're treating them right," says Ferris. "We don't use any implants, no growth hormones, and no feed antibiotics."
Continue Reading
Gina Elliott, partner in Colorado's Best Beef, agrees: "These cattle are just very well-loved, and top priority for us was to have them raised and processed humanely."
The Ferris and Elliot families have known each other for generations. And over beers at the bar inside the National Western Stock Show in 2003 — a time when people were on edge about unsafe meat and horrific farming practices — they hatched a plan to deliver healthy, delicious meat. At first the families were just selling halves and quarters of beef to family and friends, but word of mouth soon helped make CBB a sought-after brand. The family pickup would drive up and down the Front Range delivering meat to eager chefs and stores while Elliott fielded calls from across the country from folks interested in frozen steaks and burgers.
Ferris compares those days to when microbrewers revitalized a stagnant industry. "Years and years ago, it was just Miller, Budweiser and Coors. Then some of these microbreweries came along, offered people choices and had a story to tell. And I see us in the same place."
All of Colorado's Best Beef's products, from chuck roasts to Cajun-seasoned beef jerky, start with a particular breed of cattle called Charolais. These milky-white-faced and -colored cattle have heavier muscle than other breeds, Ferris says, and are genetically predisposed for tenderness. Charolais come from the eponymous region in France, and according to Elliott, the meat these cows produce is what the best European restaurants have used for generations. "I've had chefs call me when they move from Europe to the East Coast," she says, "and they want to know, 'Why can't I buy Charolais beef back here?'"
The answer is easy: CBB is one of only a handful of places in America that will sell natural Charolais directly to grocery stores and restaurants.
The open secret of CBB's amazing beef is a four-part system, says Elliott. First, there's the breed — the Charolais — and second is the feed. CBB cows are grazed on corn right before they're processed (the company also offers a limited amount of grass-fed beef). Third is the processing: Innovative Foods in Evans was chosen for its humane slaughtering processes, and the beef is dry-aged for up to 21 days there. "This is how you know you're getting a great steak, a great hamburger or what have you," explains Elliott, "because these three variables never change."
And the fourth? That's where Sergio Romero, executive chef of Le Grand Bistro & Oyster Bar, comes in.
"I grew up in northern New Mexico on a hundred-acre farm, and we were the epitome of farm-to-table," says Romero, who was behind the line at Robert Thompson's Argyll, is now at Le Grand, and is looking forward to the opening of Punch Bowl Social in the Baker neighborhood. "We did almost everything on the farm, and I wish that everybody had the ability to experience that." Today Colorado's Best Beef is the only cow on the plates coming from Romero's kitchen, plates bearing everything from the extravagant ribeye (steak de bistrot, at $43) to the humble bistro burger ($13) to the steak frites ($21). "More people have probably experienced Colorado's Best Beef through our steak frites than from any other menu out there," Romero says.
It wasn't easy for CBB to break into the business of supplying beef to Colorado restaurants, though. "These places are usually not that receptive to ranchers," says Elliott, who simply came in, set samples down and let the meat speak for itself. "It was a struggle to get going."
CBB found an early ally in Mark DeNittis, founder of Il Mondo Vecchio, who raved about the beef and began using it for his bresola and at his butchery classes at Johnson & Wales University. "Mark had ins that we did not have," says Elliott. Once DeNittis walked in to other establishments with Colorado's Best Beef in hand, it didn't take long for chefs to catch on. Today Patrick DuPays of Z Cuisine and Sheila Lucero of the three Jax Fish House restaurants are all fans of the meat.
Timing played a part, too. The families started introducing CBB as more and more restaurants were turning to local suppliers for their food. "I treat Shamrock and Sysco and US Foods like I would a big-box store," Romero muses. "The consumer is more educated than they were three or four years ago.... People now want to know where their food is coming from and how it's been processed. And there's some nostalgia to it, too, like, 'Hey, man, you wanna know where those greens came from? I can tell you a story about them.'"
And when they were doing their cattle call for Le Grand, the Stetson-topped ranchers of CBB gave both the front and back of the house an extensive meat-tasting seminar, answering questions about their beef and educating the staff, making sure that "they could put a face to the product," Elliott says.
Chefs can often tell the quality of a restaurant through its burger, and Le Grand's Colorado's Best Beef burger puts lesser-pedigreed versions to shame. This meat tastes just like the word "Charolais" sounds in your mouth: sweet, rich, almost European in its flamboyant flavors. The fresh aioli, the Gruyère, the caramelized onions all melting into each other would threaten to overload the already sweet beef — it if weren't strong enough to hold up. The burger is juicy without being messy, delicate without the fat making it seem too savory. In short, it's just about perfect.
Colorado's Best Beef has raised the bar for Colorado beef. But it's not easy being Best. The beef industry has suffered from stories about so-called pink slime, and this summer's drought has hurt the two families hard, with water scarce and hay and feed prices skyrocketing. But ranchers are used to rolling with the punches. Just as Charolais seem to have deliciousness in their genes, Ferris believes he's got ranching in his bloodstream. "I was born into it, exposed to it from a very young age, couldn't shake it," he says.
"It's just a good way of life," adds Elliott.
And it helps when that life is dedicated to very good beef. | positive |
When a current passes between two electrodes — one thinner than the other — it creates a wind in the air between. If enough voltage is applied, the resulting wind can produce a thrust without the help of motors or fuel.
This phenomenon, called electrohydrodynamic thrust — or, more colloquially, “ionic wind” — was first identified in the 1960s. Since then, ionic wind has largely been limited to science-fair projects and basement experiments; hobbyists have posted hundreds of how-to videos on building “ionocrafts” — lightweight vehicles made of balsa wood, aluminum foil and wire — that lift off and hover with increased voltage.
Despite this wealth of hobbyist information, there have been few rigorous studies of ionic wind as a viable propulsion system. Some researchers have theorized that ionic thrusters, if used as jet propulsion, would be extremely inefficient, requiring massive amounts of electricity to produce enough thrust to propel a vehicle.
Now researchers at MIT have run their own experiments and found that ionic thrusters may be a far more efficient source of propulsion than conventional jet engines. In their experiments, they found that ionic wind produces 110 newtons of thrust per kilowatt, compared with a jet engine’s 2 newtons per kilowatt. The team has published its results in the Proceedings of the Royal Society.
Steven Barrett, an assistant professor of aeronautics and astronautics at MIT, envisions that ionic wind may be used as a propulsion system for small, lightweight aircraft. In addition to their relatively high efficiency, ionic thrusters are silent, and invisible in infrared, as they give off no heat — ideal traits, he says, for a surveillance vehicle.
“You could imagine all sorts of military or security benefits to having a silent propulsion system with no infrared signature,” says Barrett, who co-authored the paper with graduate student Kento Masuyama.
Shooting the gap
A basic ionic thruster consists of three parts: a very thin copper electrode, called an emitter; a thicker tube of aluminum, known as a collector; and the air gap in between. A lightweight frame typically supports the wires, which connect to an electrical power source. As voltage is applied, the field gradient strips away electrons from nearby air molecules. These newly ionized molecules are strongly repelled by the corona wire, and strongly attracted to the collector. As this cloud of ions moves toward the collector, it collides with surrounding neutral air molecules, pushing them along and creating a wind, or thrust.
To measure an ion thruster’s efficiency, Barrett and Masuyama built a similarly simple setup, and hung the contraption under a suspended digital scale. They applied tens of thousands of volts, creating enough current draw to power an incandescent light bulb. They altered the distance between the electrodes, and recorded the thrust as the device lifted off the ground. Barrett says that the device was most efficient at producing lower thrust — a desirable, albeit counterintuitive, result.
“It’s kind of surprising, but if you have a high-velocity jet, you leave in your wake a load of wasted kinetic energy,” Barrett explains. “So you want as low-velocity a jet as you can, while still producing enough thrust.” He adds that an ionic wind is a good way to produce a low-velocity jet over a large area.
Getting to liftoff
Barrett acknowledges that there is one big obstacle to ionic wind propulsion: thrust density, or the amount of thrust produced per given area. Ionic thrusters depend on the wind produced between electrodes; the larger the space between electrodes, the stronger the thrust produced. That means lifting a small aircraft and its electrical power supply would require a very large air gap. Barrett envisions that electrodynamic thrusters for aircraft — if they worked — would encompass the entire vehicle.
Another drawback is the voltage needed to get a vehicle off the ground: Small, lightweight balsa models require several kilovolts. Barrett estimates a small craft, with onboard instrumentation and a power supply, would need hundreds or thousands of kilovolts.
“The voltages could get enormous,” Barrett says. “But I think that’s a challenge that’s probably solvable.” For example, he says power might be supplied by lightweight solar panels or fuel cells. Barrett says ionic thrusters might also prove useful in quieter cooling systems for laptops.
Ned Allen, chief scientist and senior fellow at Lockheed Martin Corp., says that while ionic thrusters face serious drawbacks — particularly for aerospace applications — the technology “offers nearly miraculous potential.”
“[Electrohydrodynamic thrust] is capable of a much higher efficiency than any combustion reaction device, such as a rocket or jet thrust-production device,” Allen says. Partly for this reason, Allen says Lockheed Martin is looking into the technology as a potential means of propulsion.
“Efficiency is probably the number one thing overall that drives aircraft design,” Barrett says. “[Ionic thrusters] are viable insofar as they are efficient. There are still unanswered questions, but because they seem so efficient, it’s definitely worth investigating further." | positive |
ABC Lateline Interview May 7, 2013
Thursday 21 March – the last sitting day before Parliament rose for the Easter recess – will long be remembered as one of those days of frenzy and madness which infrequently, but memorably, punctuate the pages of our political history. It was, of course, the day of the famous leadership challenge that wasn’t. We will long remember Simon Crean’s stupendous press conference, as much as we remember the confused hours and bizarre outcome which it called forth. The political shenanigans of that day masked an event which was, in its way, even more consequential: the announcement earlier that morning by the Minister for Communications, Senator Stephen Conroy, that the Government would not proceed with its attempt to create a statutory office of Public Interest Media Advocate – the most overt interference by an Australian government with the freedom of the press since Governor Darling’s (also unsuccessful) attempt to licence newspapers in the colony of New South Wales in 1825.
Just 24 hours earlier, the Attorney-General, Mr Mark Dreyfus, had announced that the Government was also abandoning another of its ill-conceived assaults on political freedom, the bizarrely titled Human Rights and Anti-Discrimination Bill, which famously – or perhaps I should say infamously – proposed to make actionable the expression of political opinions on the ground that they might be insulting or offensive to other citizens – and, for good measure, proposed to test that requirement by the subjective standard and with a reverse onus of proof.
That same morning, as Mr Dreyfus was announcing the government’s backdown on the Anti-Discrimination Bill, Mr Crean gave a little-noticed speech in the House of Representatives – although he did not know it at the time, his last Parliamentary speech as Arts Minister – introducing the Australia Council Bill. This Bill, currently before the Parliament, is the product of an extensive review of Australia’s principal arts funding body, whose operations have hitherto been governed by a Whitlam-era statue, the Australia Council Act of 1975. Although Mr Crean told the House that “the core principles of the Council … enshrined in the [1975] Act … are … retained by this bill”, there is one core principle which has disappeared entirely.[1] S. 5 of the existing Act defines the functions of the Australia Council as being to formulate and carry out policies designed, inter alia, “to uphold and promote the right of persons to freedom in the practice of the arts”. However, when one inspects the comparable clause of the new Bill, one discovers that the protection of artistic freedom has mysteriously disappeared from among the Australia Council’s core functions: a development not missed by the arts community themselves.
And so, in the space of a remarkable 24 hours, two significant Parliamentary victories for freedom of speech, and one discreetly-concealed setback. It was but a coincidence that all three events took place at the same time, but it does serve to illustrate the argument I wish to make tonight: that this government is engaged in a multi-front war against the traditional liberal conception of freedom of speech – sometimes by overt acts, but just as commonly by fostering a climate of opinion in which the centrality of the right to freedom of speech, as one of our society’s core values, is increasingly being questioned in a way which was unthinkable even a decade ago. This is not just an instance of the instinct of Labor politicians of a certain type to stop at nothing in bullying their opponents – I think Senator Stephen Conroy is a bully before he is a social engineer. But, at least on the part of some – the former Attorney-General, Nicola Roxon, comes to mind, and she is far from being the only one – it is a conscious, systematic attempt to change the culture, so that freedom of speech and expression is degraded among our public values, in place of other newly-imagined rights, whose very vagueness conceals an ideological agenda as illiberal as anything this country has seen in the political mainstream. The ideological character of that deliberate distortion of the rights debate cannot be better seen than in the fact that, almost invariably it is commentators or observers who represent a liberal – in the classical, not the modern American, sense of that word – or conservative point of view who are silenced. Intolerance is back in vogue; indeed, if you are a social engineer or left-wing activist of a particular hue, then intolerance of those whose thinking does not conform to your agenda is not a defect; it is an emblem of righteousness. It is not the spirit of Voltaire which informs the thinking of this Labor government and its ideological avatars; it is the spirit of Robespierre.
Of course, I have never had a lot of confidence in Labor governments to defend freedom – although, in decades past, it was economic freedom rather than political freedom which was mostly in their sights. What is more disappointing – in fact, alarming, is the pusillanimity and indifference of those for whom, one would have thought, the defence of freedom would be second nature. Let me give you three recent examples; three recent reports from the front, as it were, in the freedom wars. And let us start with journalists.
Last Friday night, in this very city, I attended an event which was grandly styled the 2013 “Australian Press Freedom Dinner”. Almost 500 journalists had gathered to celebrate freedom of the press – or so I thought. Coming within weeks of the Government’s abandonment of its attempt to limit press freedom, I thought that there would be a lot to celebrate, and having played my own modest role in the freedom debates of the past year, I was expecting a companionable evening among fellow freedom-lovers. How silly was I! A foretaste of the evening came from a pre-dinner conversation with David Marr, who – in full, theatrical, couch of the Insiders style – upbraided my colleague Malcolm Turnbull and me that he hoped we weren’t going to confuse press freedom with Andrew Bolt’s shameful defamation of innocent people. As the evening got underway, the MC, Hugh Riminton, made fleeting reference to the failure of the government’s media regulation plan, before warming to his real topic: journalists’ shield laws. “There isn’t a more pressing issue for journalists in this country,” intoned Mr Riminton. Given that this country had just escaped the first peacetime attempt at government control over the content of the press in almost two centuries, I must say that I felt a little more might have been made of that at a dinner ostensibly convened to celebrate the freedom of the press. But at least Mr Riminton hadn’t actually praised press censorship. But then came, by video link, none other than Mr Jonathon Holmes, who described the laws as having perhaps been “a missed opportunity to impose a modicum of responsibility on those who control the media in our country.” Finally, Mr Chris Warren, the head of the journalists’ trade union, made a spirited speech in which the topic was not touched upon at all. I certainly didn’t feel that I had happened upon a nest of freedom-fighters. Indeed, I had the rather unsettling sense that I had come to the wrong dinner. But I left with the very strong impression that if a fight for freedom of the press is to be fought in this country, it will not be being fought by journalists. Or, at least, not by those of their profession who convened at the bacchanal at Cockle Bay last Friday.
The second illustration of changing attitudes to freedom of speech comes from another of the institutions which, traditionally, prided themselves as being the bastions of intellectual freedom: the universities. There is, sadly, so much evidence of the new culture of intolerance in at least some of Australia’s universities that seldom does a week go by without a new instance of the erosion of intellectual freedom being reported. Let me give you just one recent example, so far as I am aware unpublicized save in the Quadrant online magazine.[2] The field evidence comes from Mr John Speer, who is a law student at the University of Melbourne, and a member of the Melbourne University Liberal Club. He reports an incident – or series of incidents – which occurred during Orientation Week this year.
In the University of Melbourne’s Orientation Week in February of 2013, the MULC did as it has always done, and set about promoting itself to attract new members. Orientation Week has traditionally been our biggest recruitment drive of the year. In addition to manning our allocated booth at the Clubs & Societies Expo, we also set up a number of stalls around the Parkville campus. These stalls are generally decorated with various Liberal Party corflutes, publications, stickers, and various other promotional giveaways.
This year one of the corflutes, kindly donated to us, originated from the 2001 federal election campaign. This particular corflute pictured then-Prime Minister John Howard and his quote “we will decide who comes to this country and the circumstances in which they come.” On one particular day of O-Week, The Club displayed this corflute proudly at our stall, a reminder of one of the Howard government’s most successful policies.
Within minutes of displaying this corflute, members of the MULC were approached by university academics who believed it to be ‘racist’ and ‘disgusting’. In addition to this, they insisted we had no right whatsoever to display it at our stall. Senior members of The Club explained that whilst they were free to hold those opinions, we were perfectly within our rights to voice our own beliefs and display a piece of official election material.
With the debate ending rather quickly, our stall was soon approached by the University of Melbourne’s security staff, who stated they had received “complaints” about the corflute. They then ordered the MULC booth off campus.
After it was explained that all present were both MULC members and students of the university, thus having a right to be present on university grounds, the security staff then attempted to remove the corflute from the grounds of the university.
Now let us remember what the offending comment was. It was a remark made by a recent Prime Minister of Australia, while serving as Prime Minister, during the course of an election campaign, briefly encapsulating in a sentence one of his Government’s key policies. It was, in fact – and we have this from no less an authority than Mr David Marr[3] – the very policy on which he went on to win the election. Indeed, so strongly approved of was that policy by the Australian people that Mr Howard not only won the election, but won it with an increased majority. As you know, it is a rarity in Australian politics for a long-established incumbent government to increase its majority; one of the few other times when this happened was in 1966, when Mr Harold Holt took to the people his policy of strong support for the American intervention in Vietnam – “All the way with LBJ”. The academics who sought to politically censor Mr Speer and his friends were, of course, the lineal successors of those who sought, in the 1960s, to prevent Australia having a peaceful, civil debate about the wisdom of Australian participation in the Vietnam War.
As Mr Speer rightly concludes:
Whilst this incident may seem trivial, it typifies the difficulties and harassment experienced by conservative and libertarian student organisations. The mentality of the left in the practice of freedom of speech, equating to “I don’t want to see it therefore it can’t be displayed”, is arrogant and abusive. We might also call it absurd, if not for the chilling glimpse of the totalitarian mindset determined to crimp and control all conversation and thought on campus.
And remember, it was not left students who complained about our display but academics, who should be dedicated to the free and unfettered discussion and dissection of ideas.
Whilst the fight for freedom of expression and speech may be at a temporary ceasefire in Canberra, it continues to escalate in the tertiary institutions of this nation.
My third instance of the assault upon freedom of speech is the agency which the Parliament created for the very purpose of defending it: the Human Rights Commission. Now, let us remember that when the Commonwealth Human Rights Commission was established in 1986, its statutory charter made it responsible for “promot[ing] an understanding and acceptance … of human rights in Australia.”[4] Human rights were defined to mean the rights and freedoms recognized in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, as well as a number of other international human rights instruments. The Covenant is in fact incorporated as Schedule 2 of the Act. It contains, of course, a miscellany of various human rights, which, it is important to remember, are not ranked according to priority. Article 19 deals with intellectual freedom and freedom of expression. It provides:
1.Everyone shall have the right to hold opinions.
2. Everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression; and this right shall include freedom to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through any other media of his choice.
Section 3 of Article 19 recognizes qualifications to those rights, but only in relation to such matters as the protection of reputation, national security, public order, and “public health or morals.”
During the Senate Estimates last February, I asked the new President of the Human Rights Commission, Professor Gillian Triggs – a distinguished international lawyer with a human rights specialization – what the Commission had done, during the press freedom debate which had raged for most of the previous year, to advance the cause of freedom of the press, and freedom of speech more generally. The answer was not encouraging – indeed, apart from providing a platform to Mr James Spigelman to deliver a human rights lecture last year, which he had used to attack the Anti-Discrimination Bill, Professor Triggs was unable to offer any example at all. (It should also be pointed out that at the time the invitation was issued, the Commission had no idea what topic Mr Spigelman would choose.) Professor Triggs went on to say this:
Because the public debate has focused, as you say, stimulated by the Bolt case and by the Human Rights and Anti-Discrimination Bill and the Hon. Mr Spigelman’s speech—
Senator BRANDIS: And the Finkelstein report.
Prof. Triggs : we have had an emphasis on the proper limitations of freedom of speech. I think it would be fair to say that we have been very much in action over the last few months on this question, but we have not been emphasising the right to freedom of speech; we have been emphasising the way in which the balance in relation to it is established either under the current legislation or under the bill that is now proposed for the future.[5]
Now, just reflect upon that statement. At a time when, stimulated by the Bolt case, provoked by the Finkelstein Report, freedom of speech and of the press has been the subject of public discussion to an unprecedented degree, the immediate response of the Government’s own human rights watchdog was to emphasize its limits. Of course, there are proper limits to freedom of speech, as there are to all other rights. However I doubt the Human Rights Commission would approach its anti-discrimination function so negatively by concentrating on the limitations of the law, rather than giving it the fullest scope.
It was, by the way, during the course of that exchange that I made my suggestion – since taken up by some conservative commentators like Janet Albrechtsen and Chris Kenny – that since there is no officer dedicated to upholding the various freedoms which the Covenant protects, we should appoint some “Freedom Commissioners”. Now, I hasten to reassure you that the last thing I want to do is bloat the size of the human rights bureaucracy; my point was really a rhetorical one.
Nevertheless, there are, I should remind you, no fewer than 7 human rights Commissioners: the President, along with 5 who deal specifically with anti-discrimination issues: the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner; the Age Discrimination Commissioner; the Disability Discrimination Commissioner; the Race Discrimination Commissioner and the Sex Discrimination Commissioner; and one, the Children’s Commissioner, who has essentially a protective role which duplicates the various child protection functions of the States and Territories. Given that the Covenant establishes no priority between egalitarian and libertarian rights, even a single commissioner dedicated to the latter might seem to be a reasonable redress of the balance.
I am sorry to say that the picture I have painted is a pretty bleak one. While Labor Governments may come and go, how did we get to a point in Australia that there are so many journalists will not fight for the freedom of the press; so many academics who will not uphold intellectual freedom on university campuses; and when even the Commonwealth’s own human rights agency is more interested in the limits of freedom than its avowal?
Who defends freedom of speech in Australia today? Is it really to be left to a few conservative commentators like Andrew Bolt and Janet Albrechtsen; a couple of think tanks like the Sydney Institute and the Institute of Public Affairs; and the Liberal Party? What is most striking about the freedom debates today is not just the fact that the attacks upon freedom have come from the radical Left, but the almost complete absence of those of the moderate Left in freedom’s defence.
For left-liberals and progressives, freedom of speech is not the passionate cause it once was; ‘respect’ (whatever that may mean) matters more. And increasingly, that means controlling what people may say.
Historically, parties of the democratic Left championed liberty – at least civil, if not economic liberty – as well as equality. They preached the fairer distribution of mankind’s resources, but they also preached emancipation. Progressives of the Left shared many of the values of liberalism, and they adopted much of its language. The emancipation of women from patriarchal social structures was called women’s liberation. Following the Wolfenden report in England, the repeal of laws which prohibited homosexual conduct, and the ready acceptance of gay people into the community, came to be called gay liberation. The relaxation of censorship was a liberal cause, supported by the Left, based upon the belief that adults should be free to make their own decisions about what they read and saw. In the 1960s and 1970s, progressive public policy was all about the extension of freedom. Within the Liberal Party, and similar centre-right parties elsewhere, this created tension between the liberalising elements and those conservatives who continued to value social control over personal freedom.
Today, it is the self-styled ‘progressives’ of the Left who want to ban things. In particular, they want to eliminate the expression of opinions which they find offensive. Sometimes this takes the form of overt prohibitions, of which s. 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act is an egregious example. As witnessed in the Bolt case, freedom of speech — and its corollary, freedom of the press — are for these people values of less importance than respect for certain favoured groups, who are identified in their minds by their alleged victimhood. Thus, paradoxically, victimhood becomes the basis of a new kind of privilege: showing respect to their special status is a more important value than the freedom to call that status into question. And so, as in the Bolt case, by making certain classes of citizens immune from criticism, the boundaries of legitimate political discussion are restricted.
But more often, the censorship is more subtle. The key technique here is to control the language, because the Left have learnt well the lesson George Orwell taught us: that if you want to control what people think, then control what people may say. It is no coincidence, for instance, that one of the great prophets of the New Left, the American writer Noam Chomsky, began his career as a professor of linguistics, whose pathbreaking work was in the study of the relationship between language and the cognitive structures of the brain. As Winston Smith discovered, there is no distance at all between speechcrime and thoughtcrime.
In the path of such attempts to control social behavior by controlling the language stands freedom of speech. It is for that reason, I believe that freedom of speech has not just ceased to be a cause of the Left, but has come to be seen by many of the Left as an obstacle. And so, in the course of perhaps the last quarter century, the democratic Left in western nations has abandoned its liberalizing instincts, or at least subordinated them to a kind of secular moralizing, which seeks to refashion society not by arguing its case, but by silencing those who differ.
In parallel with that development, we have seen the emergence of a new moral righteousness. The advocacy of the Left’s favourite causes – be it climate change, gay marriage, the treatment of asylum seekers, s. 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act – ceases to be an “argument”, in the traditional sense of the word at all. Rather, it becomes a series of declarations of civic virtue, in which the alternative view is not just disputed, but treated as morally flawed. Think of any random Q&A audience and you’ll see what I mean.
And so, the moralizing new secular Left has come to resemble the moralizing old religious Right, united by their shared assumption that since they know best how people should live, their unique insight gives them the privilege of dictating what people may do, what they may say – even what they may think. This might seem to be a paradox, but it isn’t really: all arguments for censorship have an essential commonality: that I may make choices for you, but you may not make choices for me.
And this leads to a further paradox. For, as the Left abandoned its commitment to the most important of all the civil liberties, freedom of speech, it began to walk away from its commitment to equality as well. The idea that there is a certain section of society, to whom has been vouchsafed an appreciation of moral truth on controversial social political questions which is inaccessible to the common run of people, is a profoundly inegalitarian one. It leads ineluctably to the emergence of a new, self-selecting caste which considers itself to be above the rough-and-tumble of the democratic fray, in which all ideas and opinions should be equally entitled to a hearing.
There is no doubt that the current Labor Government – and its Green allies – have encouraged the developments of which I have spoken. Minds that thought it was a good idea to outlaw the expression of offensive or insulting political opinions; to interfere with press freedom; to remove freedom of artistic expression as a core principle of Australia’s cultural policy, are minds for whom freedom of speech is no longer a fundamentally important value. That mindset reflects a wider and more concerning movement, in the attitudes and strategies of parties of the Left during the course of the last quarter-century, which not merely condones but defends the narrowing of political discourse in the service of other ideological ends. It is a profoundly dangerous development, and we have seen it reach its culmination during the time of the Gillard Government.
But at least the debates about freedom of speech and freedom of the press, which we have seen in the past couple of years, have been a sharp reminder to the Liberal Party of its historic mission. For in the freedom wars, there has been only one party which has stood steadfastly on the side of freedom.

Fixed a bug where navigating to URLs to QVT menu items caused an error. 2012-05-03: Fixed a problem where canonical xmi:id's were not managed correctly, affecting canonical XMI transformation from input that was mostly in canonical form. 2012-05-01: Corrected URI to SoaML. Updated UPDM Profile. Save xmi:id of Packages in compiled models. Corrected a bug where some legitimate URLs where perceived as XSS attacks. 2012-04-25: Pre-loaded the UPDM profile. 2012-04-23: Pre-loaded the SoaML profile. 2012-03-18: Fixed bug where class browser list was not appearing. Added separate error reporting for OCL type exceptions. Corrected OCL generation for detection of shorthand collect. Upgraded OCL prepend and append to OCL 2.3. Fixed a problem with ocl <>. (No kidding.) 2012-03-07: Support additional character encodings: jis, shift_jis, Windows-CP936, euc-jp. Pre-loaded SysML 1.3 Store unpredictable xmi-id for href. Removed operations for derived properties in UML 2.4.1 which where stubbed in to return true. Thus, the validator will again generate exceptions when these are called, as it does with other metamodels. This currently appears to be the best approach to handling the missing derivation problem. The problem may go away in UML 2.5. Corrected a problem with translation of the OCL grammar element CollectionLiteralPart where the populating expression was not literal (e.g. OrderedSet{ownedEnd}. Compiled with LW 6.1 2012-02-28: Updated UML 2.5 metamodel. Allow validation of CMOF. (Note that the toplevel package should have xmi:id='_0'.) 2012-02-25: Restored ability to specify href URI for user-loaded profiles. Fixed various bugs in OCL parsing revealed by UML2.5 Implemented OCL closure operation. Fixed bug where the schema loader was concatenating ownedRule bodies (OCL), where it should have been using bodyCondition, precondition and postcondition. Fixed bug in OCL collection literal. Implemented QVT-r handling of opposites Implemented additional methods for OCL asSet() etc. Implemented OCL _'reservedword' syntax Fixed bug in checking for cross-site scripting 2012-01-23: Deployed UML 2.4.1, dropped support for UML 2.2 Started using cmof:Tag to identify UML profiles. Improved usability of the QVT-r implementation. 2011-11-25: Implemented a capability to define properties from multiple ancestors; used on StructuredActivityNode.activity. Ignoring constraint ReadSelfAction::contained(). 2011-11-22: Corrected a problem with insertion of owner in 2011-11-14 umlLiteralSpecification code. Don't run OCL when there is a cylce of ownership. Element::allOwnedElements() will get stuck. 2011-11-18: Corrected a problem with Property::isConsistentWith(). 2011-11-16: Corrected a problem in multi-threading. 2011-11-14: Corrected a problem where ill-formed XML in profile files caused a server error. 2011-10-14: Implemented a profile loading capability. Implemented new reporting for cycles in the uml:OwnedElement property. In files where cycles are found, XMI Canonical diffing is not performed. Report errors where uml:LiteralSpecification is required but a simple literal was used in the XMI. Removed experimental NIEM capability -- The NIEM profile can be loaded manually using the new profile loading capability. 2011-08-10: Experimental NIEM capability. 2011-08-02: Eliminated a bug in how the object match table referenced object owners. Eliminated a bug where derived unions could contain duplicate elements. Eliminated a bug where the object browser could give an error when there was no reference test case file associated with the submitted file. 2011-08-01: Eliminated a bug where the test case being used was not cleared between runs. Force new session object with each validation run. Don't start server until Valid TCs are loaded. 2011-07-28: Eliminated a bug in the XMI diff algorithm. Implemented a table identifying difference between the user's file and the corresponding MIWG test case (where applicable). See 'Table of corresponding objects' under the heading 'Canonical XMI' on the main report page. Corrected text in reporting of differences; provide links appear where appropriate. 2011-07-26: Eliminated a bug where errors significant enough to halt assessment of the user's file did not provide information regarding what went wrong. Implemented in the object browser a link from the user's object to the corresponding object in valid.xmi. This is available only when testing concerns a MIWG test case and the object requested matched an object in valid.xmi. 2011-07-24: Implemented the revised version of Canonical XMI. 2011-06-23: Implemented a hybrid model/xml diff capability. Note that: Since it uses numerical scoring of object resemblance, it will require some tuning. Report bugs. It is now possible to examine objects from the valid.xmi file as well as the file you have uploaded. When a valid.xmi object is shown, to avoid confusion, its title background is light green (very obvious). Updated the page describing the unresolved URI error condition and defined page that lists actual URLs used here. 2011-05-09: Implemented Maged Elaasar's OCL for Property::multiplicity_of_composite() Corrected several bugs where bad URLs from bots where filling log files. 2011-05-09: Eliminated permissive behavior on incorrect URIs for UML 2.3, SysML and the Standard Profile L2. Corrected a bug where canonical XMI generation stereotype application base_ objects were referenced by element content rather than xmi:idref. Added checking for duplicate application of a stereotype. Corrected bugs with OCL >= and <=. Eliminated OCL for Property::multiplicity_of_composite() 2011-04-20: Removed support for UML 2.1 UML2.3 only: ActivityNode::node now subsets Element::ownedElement. UML2.3 only: ValueSpecificationAction::value now subsets Element::ownedElement. UML2.3 only: Stereotype::icon now subsets Element::ownedElement. UML2.3 only: Ignored constraint LinkEndData.qualifers(). UML2.3 only: Made multiplicity of JoinNode::joinSpec (0 1). UML2.3 only: Removed faulty derivation of Stereotype.profile and made the property multiplicity (0 1). 2012-04-02: Fixed a bug where a program exception would occur if a metamodel defined the lower bound of a collection to be an unlimited natural. 2011-04-01: Fixed more bugs in the syntax of xmi:ids of Canonical XMI. In test case diff warnings, added a link referencing the implicated model element. 2011-03-16: Fixed a bug in the syntax of xmi:ids of Canonical XMI. Implemented new error reporting for comparision with Canonical XMI. Made Pin abstract in all supported UMLs. Removed TestContext from the SysML Profile. 2011-02-08: Carried over 2010-11-01 changes of UML 2.2 into UML 2.3. Fixed a problem with reporting of a stereotype-related error. 2010-12-13: Corrected a problem where unresoved xmi:idrefs caused a program error in Canonical XMI transformation. 2010-12-08: Corrected a problem in Canonical XMI transformation where the elementization of object references did not encode these as xmi:idrefs. 2010-11-22: Corrected a problem in Canonical XMI generation where LiteralSpecifications were not provided unique XMI:ids. Corrected a problem in Canonical generation where objects with qualified names that were not unique to their scope were not provided unique XMI:ids. Developed a regression test to report where results differed between the testing of an uploaded file and testing of the canonical file generated from the uploaded file. Currently, results are identical. Corrected several problems in the reading of Canonical XMI. Corrected a problem in Canonical generation where xmi:id values outside of the Model XML Element were not being translated to the canonical values. 2010-11-01: Modified UML2.2 metamodel pursuant to today's MIWG telecon: ActivityEdge.guard given default value True. ActivityEdge.weight given default value 1. ObjectNode.upperBound given default value *. ActivityEventAction.trigger made to subset Element.ownedElement. 2010-10-30: Added reporting for many types of XML error. Fixed a bug where propagating an opposite property would cause a hard error when the object being updated was not of a type possessing the property. 2010-10-12: Fixed a bug where Canonical XMI ordering was not enforced. Removed XMI version from the xmi:XMI element, a requirement of the Canonical spec. Fixed a bug where objects were not created for xml elements mistakenly identified as xmi:id references. Fixed a bug in Canonical XMI where the strings that were not references to xmi:ids were mistakenly replaced with the renamed xmi:id string whenever the string happened to match an xmi:id. 2010-09-30: Fixed a bug in Canonical XMI where the xmi:type attribute was kept when an href was present. Fixed several bugs in reading Canonical XMI. 2010-09-28: Implemented a check for serializing the opposite of a property declared composite. Corrected a bug where the XMI shown to explain errors was canonical XMI, not the uploaded original. Colorized some error reporting of user's XMI. Fixed a bug in Canonical XMI where multi-valued XML attributes where not transformed correctly. Fixed a bug in Canonical XMI where the XMI:xmi XML element was not serialized. Fixed a bug in Canonical XMI where XML namespace tags had wrong URIs. Fixed a bug in Canonical XMI where .qualifiedName was used when that name is a null string. Made the Canonical XMI code thread-safe. 2010-09-20: Various corrections to the (still rough) Canonical XMI implementation. 2010-09-19: Implemented direct XML transformation for Canonical XMI -- some bugs remain, but it is good enough for discussion at tomorrow's face-to-face. Implemented regression testing against vendor our-export.xmi on trunk. 2010-09-10: Implemented comparison reporting on the (new) Canonical XMI implementation. Implemented a check for serialization of default values. Implemented a check for serialization of derived values. 2010-09-03: Fixed several bugs in experimental Canonical XMI generation. Improved profile support. 2010-08-05: Added experimental capability to generate Canonical XMI. A known problem exists involving the reference to embedded packages in hrefs. Generate a warning report when a stereotype application occurs inside the XMI element uml:Model. Corrected the OCL for InformationFlow::sources_and_targets_kind(). 2010-06-23: Added UML 2.3 support. Made a few improvements related to processing speed. 2010-06-19: Updated SysML profile to version 1.2. Corrected a problem where false positives were generated on type checking (typically very basic types, NamedElement, etc.). The problem occured because the version of UML used in testing was not the one specified in the user's file. Disabled OCL constraint ObjectNode.not_unique. It is not clear what was intended. Allowed profile objects inside of uml:Model object. Corrected (I think!) OCL of AssociationClass.cannot_be_defined. Made Transition.trigger owned by the Transition. Various changes to better support profiles and hrefs. 2010-01-04: Carried over into UML2.2 2009-07-27 fix for RedefinableElement.isRedefinitionContextValid Carried over into UML2.2 2009-05-12 fix for NamedElement.qualifiedName.1 Carried over into UML2.2 2009-05-12 fix for Constraint.value_specification_boolean Carried over into UML2.2 the UML 2.1.1 fix (unclear of date) for Property.redefined_property_inherited 2009-07-27: Added OCL for Image.mustBeOwned. Corrected OCL for Extension::non_owned_end(). When a property is redefined, collect the subsetted properties from the property from which the redefinition is made. Disabled constraints for RedefinableElement::isRedefinitionContextValid(). Enable processing of stand-alone Profiles. 2009-05-12: Corrected OCL for RedefinableElement::isRedefinitionContextValid() Corrected OCL for NamedElement::qualifiedName.1() Ignoring faulty OCL for Constraint::value_specification_boolean() 2009-03-22: Corrected a problem reported by Ralph Hains where validation details were not being shown. Allow reference to http://schema.omg.org/spec/UML/2.1.2/uml.xml in XMI. Corrected OCL errors in Stereotype.generalize, Extension.non_owned_end, Pseudostate.outgoing_from_initial and ExecutionSpecification.same_lifeline, and corrected a problem with packagin interning (found on 'context'). Removed 'members only' capbilities; these are handled by MIWG. Against my principles, I allowed properties that are declared derived but also have a default value(!) to use that default value when the derivation is not provided. There are two of these: ExtensionEnd.lower, Message.messageKind. I am not sure whether this is a bug in UML, or whether I should have been able to infer it from metamodel, but: Extension.ownedEnd redefines Association.ownedEnd and Association.ownedEnd has opposite Property.owningAssociation. I made Extension.ownedEnd have opposite ExtensionEnd.owningAssociation, and defined the type of Extension.ownedEnd to be an ExtensionEnd. Implemented a prototype object diff capability. Corrected a bug in OCL::UnlimitedNatural arithmetic relations. Added run-time diagnostic capabilities. Added 'instance n of m' in title of instance error reports. 2008-08-18: Corrected a bug in OCL of derived attribute Classifier.inheritedMember. Execution was getting stuck in non-progressing recursion among hasVisiblityOf and inheritableMember (calling each other with no change in arguments). Corrected a bug where OCL validation was occurring on every reference to an object rather than just every object. Corrected a bug where operation pre/post condition code was confused with its body. Switched to using compiled OCL operations and derivations. 2008-08-16: Corrected a bug where many opposites were not being recognized. The bug would have caused spurious 'Missing mandatory value' reports in some files. Regression testing suggests, however, that this does not occur as often as I had initially thought. Corrected a bug where complete OCL operations that were evaluated to a string constant (e.g. NamedElement.separator()) were returning nil, not the constant. Corrected a bug where 'result' was considered an OCL reserved word, causing some parsing errors. 2008-08-01:Added Jonathan Burket's Object Inventory capability. 2008-06-18: Allow stream type Windows-1252 in XMI, made synonymous with ISO 8859-1. Allow http://schema.omg.org/spec/UML/2.1(.1)?/uml.(xml|xmi) as a reference to the entire UML profile. Fixed bug in reporting error 'Cannot infer class of object.' 2008-04-04: Fixed a problem where Profile objects were not themselves being dereferenced (content was being dereferenced correctly, however). Created a UML Standard Profile (by hand). It currently only contains the stereotype 'Trace,' used by SysML. 2008-03-08:Fixed a problem where stereotypes that could extend two or more metaclasses resulted in an extended metaclass that inherited from all of them. 2008-02-18: Updated code to use the SysML Profile 20070901 found at http://www.omg.org/technology/documents/formal/sysml.htm Fixed a problem where errors printing several UML Literal types caused problems in the reporting of example XMI. Fixed a problem where (typically stereotyped) objects defined outside of XML scope of Model were not being collected for reference. Fixed a problem where '_0' was not recognized as 'the profile itself' in references such as 'http://schema.omg.org/spec/UML/2.1.1/StandardProfileL2.xmi#_0' The current workaround is to create an object of type uml:Profile for each such reference. Whether this will be sufficient remains to be seen. Created report details for warning 'No proxy for stereotyping' (N.B. This warning still needs to be described better, the explantion is not accurate.) Created report details for warning 'Referent not found.' 2008-01-09: Corrected bugs introduced 2008-01-02 in viewing error report XMI. 2008-01-02: Added reporting for two new types of errors arising from faulty OCL: errors calculating derived attributes and errors due to missing derivations. Typical validation results will report many of these, but they should not be much concern to the Miwg participants. They are tyically due to bugs in the UML and SysML specs. Their presence makes analysis of the OCL constraints involved impossible. We aren't providing detailed reporting on these because they probably aren't interesting to Miwg participants. 2007-06-29: OCL correction: Classifier.inheritedMember (derivation) Was: self.inherit(self.parents()->collect(p | p.inheritableMembers(self))) Now: self.inherit(self.parents()->select (p | p.inheritableMembers(self))) Bug reported against UML 2.1.1. 2007-05-13: The modification of 2007-03-21 appears to be ill-advised; subsetted properties should be copied downward regardless of whether the target is a derived union. (More specifically, nothing in the Infrastructure spec contradicts this). There still may be some loose ends here though. For example, Class.ownedAttribute is ordered, and not a derived union, but subsetted by ownedPort. Where in the ordered set are the subsetted properties positioned? 2007-05-12: Corrected a problem where knowledge of derived union sources was not copied to stereotyped (programmatically created) metaclasses. 2007-05-12: Changed UML metamodel EncapsulatedClass.ownedPort to non-derived. (No derivation is provided in the metamodel). Report to UML RTF. 2007-05-12: Added a link in the 'Summary of Model Contents' section directly to the model. 2007-05-06: Corrected upper-bound multiplicity (generation and declaration) in the SysML Profile. 2007-04-27: Created a members-only area for the miwg. 2007-04-26: Corrected a problem where 'Property not found' errors were not reported. 2007-04-07: Corrected 23 errors in the OCL of UML around the use of MultiplicityElement. 2007-04-06: Upgraded to UML 2.1.1. Fixed a problem with ocl:implies. (It was evaluating its second argument regardless of value of its first argument.) 2007-03-27: Pretty print (indent) XMI showing error instance. 2007-03-25: Corrected a problem where sources of derived unions were not being collected if those sources were derived. 2007-03-21: Don't push values downward to 'subsetted-by' properties unless that 'subsetted-by' property is a derived union. 2007-03-16: Improved processing time by ...um, a factor of 100. Moved error reports for unresolved URI earlier in the reporting sequence. 2007-03-14: Provided a solution to the Validator's limitation in referencing objects in external models/files through XMI href. However, the real problem here is that, in most instances, there should be normative reference files (e.g. UML StandardLibrary). To demonstrate a solution (and make some headway with the UPDM Profile) I used Infrastructure.uml and Superstructure.uml from Eclipse and the Eclipse-specific indexing into those files. 2007-03-13: Modified behavior when 'Cannot infer class of object (XMI rule 2g)' is apparent so that it defaults to the choose the base class for the property. It still warns, though, as it should. 2007-01-27: Removed duplicate OCL violations from reporting. 2006-12-10: Added a link from Object Browser pages to the Class Browser page of the type of object shown. 2006-12-10: Use anchored text on OCL constraint names in Validator report (OCL constraint violation reporting). It links to the Class Browser position where the OCL constraint is displayed. 2006-12-10: Corrected the implementation of oclType(). BTW oclType() is apparently an OCL Library function (used in MMs such as L3) but not defined in OCL Version 2! 2006-12-09: When the spec does not provide a function to compute a derived property, it is so noted in the 'Missing mandatory value' error report. There are currently 20 such properties. They are: Action.context, Activity.structuredNode, Behavior.context, Class.extension, Class.superClass, ConnectorEnd.definingEnd, ExtensionEnd.lower, Message.messageKind, Message.signature, OpaqueExpression.result, Package.nestedPackage, Package.ownedStereotype, Package.ownedType, Parameter.default, Port.provided, Port.required, Property.default, ProtocolTransition.referred, RedefinableTemplateSignature.inheritedParameter, StructuredClassifier.part. 2006-12-09: Added links to the error explanations from the 'summary of warnings' section of the validation report page 2006-12-09: Corrected problem where default values (from MM definitions) were not being set 2006-11-18: Implemented derived properties. In the past, certain 'Missing Mandatory Value Violation' errors were in fact due to the Validator not being able to compute the property from the OCL. Unfortunately, the UML spec does not provide OCL for all of the properties that are declared derived. A future fix will report when a Multiplicity Violation was the spurious result of the absence of the OCL definition that would provide the value. Another fix will define that OCL ;^) 2006-11-13: Corrected a problem where the type given to stereotyped objects was in some cases wrong. 2006-11-10: Corrected a problem finding SysML objects in XMI. 2006-11-09: Validation is now performed on all objects, not just those with an xmi:id. 2006-11-09: Reporting now includes statistics on how many of the 39 SysML stereotypes were applied. (called 'SysML classes instantiated') 2006-06-06: Began development. UML+Profile Class Browser Changes 2008-08-17 Class Browser now tracks OCL modifications and editor notes. See the section of this page, Current Status of OCL 2008-03-08: Specialized Class Browser pages that concerned stereotypes so that they didn't contain heading for content inappropriate for stereotypes. Fixed a problem where asking for property detail in the Object Browser resulted in a server error. Added a list of 'example objects' to the Class Browser pages. The examples are presented in cases where you have uploaded an XMI file containing objects of the class being presented. 2008-03-08 Fixed problem where 'red triangle' link not showing in IE. 2007-04-28: Fixed problem where 'red triangle' link not showing in IE. 2007-04-11: Fixed new problem where URLs to SysML stereotypes were wrong. Added Expresso page. 2007-04-06: Upgraded to UML 2.1.1. 2007-03-25: Provide the same slot details in the object browser as is presented in the class browser. 2007-03-23: List the sources of a derived union in the details of the property. 2006-12-10: Show default values in property details. 2006-12-09: When the spec does not provide a function to compute a derived property, it is so noted in the property details. (See the Validator changelog entry of this date for a list of these properties.) 2006-11-10: Fixed parentage of UML Standard Profile Stereotype uml:Trace. 2006-11-06: Class description pages that describe classes from the SysML Profile now have titles that read 'SysML Stereotype foo' etc. 2006-11-06: The Class Browser now appends a '*' after the name of every class listed on the Class Browser main page that names a SysML object (all others are part of UML). 2006-06-06: Begin development. Current Status of the Validator's OCL The Validator uses the UML's metamodel OCL constraints and operations wherever possible, of course. However, there are bugs in that OCL. In order to make the OCL evaluation performed by the Validator more meaningful, and also to suggest improvements to the OCL to the UML standard writers, this tool uses modified OCL in some places. In other places, where it isn't clear what the solution should be, I haven't attempted to write a solution. Finally, there is OCL in UML and SysML I probably could write, but haven't yet. Rewritten OCL The following are constraints and operations that were rewritten to fix a bug. The page at the link describes the changes made.

After racing competitively for 10 years on dirt and asphalt, we got tired of weekly drama, over competitive drivers tearing up cars and constantly trying to "out spend" our competitors, we found mutual respect for other cars and drivers is the most fun and affordable. We built our first vintage car in early 2020 and then ran with a few other vintage clubs in the region. We realized our favorite and home tracks in Va- Franklin County and Shenandoah speedways had no regular scheduled Vintage races. With a lot of thought and support from friends, racers and both tracks eager to have us we decided to fill this gap and start our own group. 2022 will be our 3rd season and we seem to be growing like mad. Lots of new members and cars being built to play with us. Show Less Keeping the FUN in RACING! Show More Stay in Touch Learn more about our upcoming events, fundraisers, and more!

I have a confession to make: despite having reviewed a few e-readers, and having written dozens of articles about them, I’ve never really used one. I mean, I’ve used them enough to know a good one from a bad one, to understand the features, and to do a proper evaluation — but I’ve never made one part of my life, the way one makes a mobile phone or laptop part of one’s life. In that way I haven’t really used an e-reader. Until just recently.
As a book lover, I view e-readers as interlopers; as a practical person, I acknowledge them as inevitable. But in both cases, I have come to view them as a deeply unsatisfying reading experience. They fall short of paper in meaningful ways, and objecting to them should not be considered technophobic.
The future of e-books is bright, but as far as I’m concerned, right now we’re still in the dark age — though that isn’t to say the stone age.
The core experience of the new Kindle, Nook, and Kobo (pictured) is practically the same. Sure, there are aesthetic differences and the selection is different, but when you’re doing what the devices are intended to do — reading a book, page by page — they are nearly identical.
Now I expect the PR departments have already started composing a new email with their talking points about how their device is the best, but let’s be realistic. These guys are using almost exactly the same parts (the most important bit, the screen, is the same in all three) and if you took the logos off the devices, few people would be able to tell you which is which or express a strong preference.
I don’t say this to denigrate the devices. This generation of e-readers is the most user-friendly and practical by far. But aside from the change to a touchscreen, e-readers have barely advanced from the day they were first introduced. So when I say I prefer paper, that’s not sentimentality. Paper really is just better.
No, I’m not putting you on or trying to play the devil’s advocate. But I’m willing to make a few concessions first. Obviously e-readers are better in a few ways: the wireless in the Kindle which allows you to get books almost wherever you are, for instance. And you can certainly keep more books on one device than you can keep in your carry-on. But that’s pretty much where the benefits end, isn’t it?
Text can be pixelated or low-contrast
The screens aren’t actually that good. You can admit it, it’s okay. Even the newest ones. They’re rather grey, and the text doesn’t really look that good, does it? They’re a bit small, too. Don’t you feel it’s a bit limiting? You can’t replace a newspaper with this thing, and images look pretty bad. That blinking thing when it refreshes itself is annoying, finding a particular chapter or passage can be a pain, and lending or borrowing books isn’t as straightforward as it could be.
Am I just being an entitled consumer? A bit, yes. But there’s a good reason for my (mild and proportionate) frustration. The makers of e-readers have made a conscious choice over the last two years or so: provide the same product at a lower price, not a better product at the same price. It’s not that I have a problem with this. I wrote two years ago that this was the end game for the current players. That’s only an issue if, like in my case, the initial devices held no interest. For many, the race to the bottom was a good thing, making the basic e-reading experience possible for an extremely low price (and getting lower year by year). This is already having serious effects on the publishing and education ecosystems.
But what you see is also the inevitable result of companies relying on a dwindling pool of OEMs capable of manufacturing parts in the millions. The leading devices all use the same third-generation E-Ink display; few people would notice differences between the way they handle text, or care either way. As I mentioned, there are differences in the interface outside of books, and in how you search and buy, that sort of thing, but the purpose of these devices is to display e-books, and they all do it without appreciable differences.
Now, when their products are the same, companies compete on bullshit. We saw this in the 90s when every Compaq, HP, Dell, and Gateway PC was using the same pieces, and we see it today with TV makers who all have the same fundamental features and have to invent new numbers to increment at every CES. Markets at this stage are ripe to be broken into, as Apple is fond of doing. This point is when it often steps into the picture. I don’t mean to imply Apple will enter the e-reader wars (in fact, the iPad is their entry in a way), but someone is going to have to change the game. Selling a commodity, which is what e-readers have become, is a dangerous business in tech, because commodities tend to devalue rather quickly.
What needs to happen? A superior product, that’s all. E-readers can’t remain dumb, paperback-sized, text display gadgets forever. If they’re going to replace books, and paper, they need to learn a few more tricks.
Browsing your “library” is slow and lacks discoverability; organization isn’t organic
It’ll take some time; no one wants to obsolete their own product, and these readers are setting up what is potentially a very profitable ecosystem. But at the same time, if they don’t do it, someone else might. Leave your lunch out too long and someone might just eat it for you. So you better believe that the big guys are planning real replacements for the e-reader of today, and are on the lookout for any sign that they might get beaten to the punch.
What will the new features be? Well, for example, Bridgestone has produced a screen that appears to beat E-Ink at every level. And half the electronic companies out there are hard at work on flexible OLED or bistable displays. Sony is testing the waters with a foldable tablet, and Readius has been flogging their flexible device for a while now. E Ink, conscious that they’ll have to make serious advances in order to keep their position as head bistable display honcho, is making screens that can be crumpled or attached to cloth. Color e-paper is shipping right now, though it’s not particularly good. Don’t expect the e-readers of tomorrow to be the same static window on text that they are today.
The screen quality, too, is going to have to improve. In both resolution and contrast, e-readers need to approach print on paper, or they will forever be understood as being a sub-par option, grey and indistinct. More comfortable to read on than LCDs, sure, but for how long? The advantage of the reflective display will eventually be outweighed by other factors if they don’t start moving.
And we’ll want to write on them, too. The Noteslate device, unfortunately totally fictional (but apparently now in the works), awakened a sleeping giant of gadget envy on the net. Who wouldn’t want one of those things? Yet none of the major e-reading devices are even attempting it.
Annotating and highlighting content is clumsy and slow
What else? Social and collaborative features, no doubt, like those just beginning to be promoted; more portability and ruggedness; features to enable reading by the blind, like quality real-time text-to-speech and tactile displays; richer formatting and rendering; self-illuminating screens or text; adjustable page tint; to say all, anything you can imagine might improve the reading experience, and probably a few things you haven’t imagined yet.
These fantasy devices don’t have to beat paper at everything — after all, they’ll never beat it on battery life — it’s just a little disappointing in how few ways they better their venerable competitor. And note that the e-reader should be considered distinct from the tablet (which, though more versatile, shares many shortcomings) as a device aimed specifically at consuming and storing text, and mostly black and white text at that. I suspect that factor will remain important for years to come.
Now, it’s not as if e-reader makers have been standing still all this time. Their devices are lighter, brighter, and faster, and making the screens touchable was a good move. But the problem is that after all these improvements, e-readers’ advantages over books still aren’t very significant. If you read one or two books at a time, and not big ones, the advantage is almost nil. E-readers should be way better than books! The possibility is there; the technology is there; the demand is there. There are dozens of things we would like to be able to do with our literature, our journals, our newspapers, that are inconvenient or impossible with existing form factors (paper, tablet, PC, or other). E-readers have a world to expand into, yet they are exploring it at a snail’s pace.
Why whine about this? Think back on the last ten years. How many tablets and MIDs do you spy with your little Internet eye? Dozens, most of them failures or niche products. Because, really, they simply weren’t good enough. E-readers have caught on to some extent, more so than the early tablets and MIDs certainly, but I would suggest that this is because of a pent-up demand for a device like this and not because of any particular fitness on its part. At the moment, they’re still quite crude, really — and we only tolerate their crudeness because right now convenience is valued over utility.
No one would blame you for not buying a Palm Pilot or Newton or early MID back in the day, because although they did have a purpose, they were, even at the time, clearly not mature products. E-readers aren’t mature either; don’t be fooled by the homogeneity of today’s options. They’re like that because of the decision they made, to drop prices instead of change the product. Just because they look alike and act alike doesn’t mean they are mature, the way PCs became mature in the late 90s.
These early devices ape semi-convincingly the experience of reading a book. Is that the end game? No. Should you expect something better? Yes. Should that stop you from buying one right now? Maybe.
For me, buying the most advanced e-reader today involves too many compromises in quality. The ways in which I read and interact with my books are simply incompatible with e-readers as they exist today. So I don’t buy, though in five years their successors will have me reaching for my wallet. It’s like seeing Microsoft showing off a tablet in the early 2000s. Did I want a tablet? Sure, ever since I first saw one — probably in Star Trek. But I didn’t try to buy that one, because it’s okay to say that something isn’t good enough for you. That’s the prerogative of the consumer. I don’t want a Kindle – I want what the Kindle will become, just as I wanted what the Treo and Newton would become. There’s no shame, and maybe even a little dignity, in waiting.
I love books. I love reading. And I love technology. But I can’t bring myself to even like today’s e-readers, except as promising indicators of things to come. For now, between paper and plastic, there’s no contest. | positive |

Story highlights "IT'S NOT ISLAMOPHOBIA... IT'S ISLAMOREALISM," ad says
It shows photo of Foley just before he was beheaded
Creators say they are removing ad only because of Foley family request
A transit advertisement depicting deceased American journalist James Foley moments before he was beheaded by ISIS was pulled from circulation in New York and San Francisco, according to the attorney representing the organization behind the ads, American Freedom Defense Initiative.
The ad, which read in part, "IT'S NOT ISLAMOPHOBIA... IT'S ISLAMOREALISM," was intended to launch Monday, appearing on buses and at the entrance of subway stops.
David Yerushalmi, the attorney representing the president of American Freedom Defense Initiative, Pamela Geller, said he sent a letter to the Foley family attorney on behalf of his client Sunday in response to a letter from the Foleys' attorney requesting the ad be pulled.
Foley disappeared on November 22, 2012, in northwest Syria, near the border with Turkey. At the time of his disappearance, he was working for the U.S.-based online news outlet GlobalPost. The video of his beheading was posted to YouTube on August 19.
Yerushalmi's letter reads in part: "As a mother, and one who still feels the pain of the hideous murders of many in her extended family by the Nazis, and with friends in Israel brutally affected by Islamic terrorism as a constant of daily life, Ms. Geller understands and feels intimately the pain your clients are suffering. Neither she nor AFDI wish to add to that pain, even if only tangentially."
The letter goes on: "For this reason, and this reason alone, my clients have reached out as early as this morning to the New York and San Francisco transit authorities' respective advertising agents to pull the displays depicting the captive Mr. Foley prior to his beheading."

JUST WATCHED Foley tape: U.S. may have jihadi ID Replay More Videos ... MUST WATCH Foley tape: U.S. may have jihadi ID 01:41
Yerushalmi said the ad was pulled "as a matter of compassion for the family," but the rest would remain in circulation.
Geller, who is behind the campaign, said the ad featuring Foley is speaking out against jihad terror.
"I am thinking of the family. I'm thinking of the next victim as well," Geller told CNN's Rosa Flores on Wednesday. "But frankly, I think that that ad does a service to the family to expose the ideology that incites this kind of barbarity."
Diane Foley, James Foley's mother, said in an email Monday that her family received the letter and "greatly appreciate the compassionate response."
Ibrahim Hooper, the national communications director for Council on American-Islamic Relations, told Flores, "These ads are targeted mainly at people who are not Muslims trying to get them to hate Islam and be hostile to Americans Muslims.
Despite criticism, Geller said her message is not anti-Muslim, it's anti-jihad.
"There is nothing in my ads that say Muslim. We oppose jihad, and the idea that it's anti-Muslim, in my opinion, is a way of detracting from the message," Geller said Wednesday.
One of the ads in circulation reads: "Islamic Jew-hatred: It's in the Quran. Stop the hate."
Geller said she believes the Quran ignites jihad.
"There are numerous, numerous, verses ... calling for the annihilation of the nonbeliever. Smite them at their necks. ... Every action is accompanied by an Islamic prayer," she said.
Peter Awn, a religion professor at Columbia University, said, "to say that the Quran in and of itself is really what guides the choices Muslims make is really naive."
This is not the first time Geller has rattled emotions with edgy campaigns. In 2012, when the metropolitan transportation authority rejected one of her ads, Geller took her message to federal court and won. The 2012 ad read: "In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat Jihad."
All the ads launched Monday in New York have a disclaimer that reads: "The display of this advertisement does not imply MTA's endorsement of any views expressed." | positive |

Seeing as it’s the weekend, a holiday one for those in the States, it seems appropriate now to highlight some guesstimation on the size of the Nokia Lumia 1520. Sure, we’ll know more in the coming weeks on the actual dimensions but there’s no harm in adding a little math to give a rough idea. Revealed in a photo earlier this week, the Nokia Lumia 1520 was placed next to the Lumia 1020 for size comparison. Windows Phone Central can now confirm that the photo is legitimate through a second source who attested to its authenticity. Based off of that image, forum member Cornelius took a break from his bachelor thesis to calculate the Lumia 1520’s exact size.
While we’re not engineers nor math buffs ourselves, Cornelius laid out his methodology, which seems sound to us: Applied perspective correction in Photoshop to the leaked photo
Make some smaller corrections, to make sure, that the visible tiles are quadratic
Calculate the dimensions based on counting pixels Based off of a 6-inch display, the Lumia 1520’s device size would be 169.9 mm x 88.9 mm (6.69 in x 3.5 in). For comparison, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, which has a smaller 5.5-inch display, comes in at 151.1mm x 80.5 mm (5.95 in x 3.17 in), making the Lumia 1520 12.5% longer and 10.5% wider. But what about the even larger Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3? That massive device comes in at 168 mm x 88 mm (6.6. in x 3.46 in)—in other words, it’s fairy comparable, even though the Mega sports a slightly larger display. Surprisingly though, the Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 features only a 720P display while the Nokia Lumia 1520 will have a higher resolution 1080P one.
Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3

LL http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/342730_soldier08.html SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER [FONT=Arial,Helvetica]Seattle soldier proves to be best of the best[/FONT] [FONT=Arial,Helvetica]Combat medic is first woman to win the special military honor in Army Forces Command[/FONT] [FONT=Arial,Helvetica]Last updated December 7, 2007 11:33 p.m. PT[/FONT] [FONT=Arial,Helvetica]By MIKE BARBER[/FONT] [FONT=Arial,Helvetica]P-I REPORTER[/FONT] For all the achievements 23-year-old Jamiell Goforth of Seattle has won since leaving a promising dance career in Seattle to become an Army combat medic, one stands out. It was the year she spent in Taji, Iraq, where vehicles and medics rushed wounded and injured U.S. and Iraqi soldiers and civilians to her aid station. Sgt. Jamiell Goforth left a dance career for the Army. "We saved lives; we didn't lose anybody," Goforth said with a mixture of emotion and pride. "Seeing some of those injuries and people trusting you, with their lives literally in your hands, makes you grow up; you are in charge of making sure they go home, that they get back to their families," Goforth, now based at Fort Hood, Texas, said. It's one of the least known but more significant achievements in the young Army career of Jamiell Elizabeth Goforth, who earlier this year survived grueling physical and mental tests of endurance and skill against other soldiers to become the first female "Soldier of the Year" from U.S. Army Forces Command. It is the Army's largest major command and comprises more than 730,000 soldiers. In the three years since she joined the Army, Goforth has helped conduct rescues during Hurricane Katrina, graduated from the Army's expert field medic school, rose to the rank of sergeant and received the Meritorious Service Medal. Goforth graduated from Summit High School in 2002. She attended the Seattle Academy of Arts and Sciences, was class president, an honor student and concert dance company captain for three years. In 2000, she was accepted to the professional division of New York's acclaimed Alvin Ailey American Dance Center. After high school, college didn't seem "the right thing at the time," Goforth said. She wanted to help people, save lives and belong to something bigger than herself, so she enlisted. She said her years in the performing arts, working literally in the spotlight, helped her as a soldier in tough situations and as a woman in the Army. "My parents raised me to never let anyone discourage me from pursuing my dreams; that attitude carries forward with how I deal with being female in the military," she said. Her parents are Julia Goforth and Rodney Kreps of Seattle and John Goforth of Eugene, Ore. Goforth, who recently re-enlisted, served in Iraq from the fall of 2005 to November 2006. The 24-hour medical aid station in Taji provided ample experience in medicine. It received casualties from "outside the gate," treated sick and wounded U.S. soldiers and stabilized the most seriously wounded for transportation to a larger hospital in Baghdad. Goforth recalls those around her there as an "eclectic mix": Iraqis, soldiers from Estonia and other European countries, an Italian medevac pilot. There were, however, no Arabic translators. "That made it interesting," Goforth deadpans, recalling the difficulty in acquiring backgrounds for Iraqi workers and civilians from elsewhere in the Middle East. Competing for a Soldier of the Year was not as life changing as serving in the aid station. But the competition was no picnic. Soldiers who take part are considered the best of the best. Those who earned titles excelled at grueling challenges in soldiering. Challenges last summer included physical-fitness endurance in extreme humidity, hand-to-hand combat, a 12-mile road march and conducting navigation during fierce rain, Goforth said. At the end with scarcely a few hours sleep, Goforth and the others had to keep their wits about them while field stripping weapons and answering written essays and tests as well as questions from an oral review board. The 13 competitors last summer had earned top honors in lower units before emerging to represent each Army command. That baker's dozen competed last summer for the ultimate honor, U.S. Army Soldier of the Year, at Fort Lee, Va. Goforth didn't win the all-Army honor but was an impressive finalist. The Richmond (Va.) Times-Dispatch chronicled competition one day during a "detainee-treatment" scenario, when each soldier was evaluated for his or her response to an actor wearing a black turban who was believed to be wearing an explosive vest. A male Army corporal opting for a direct approach slammed the actor to the earth, using his teeth to quickly tighten a set of plastic handcuffs, the paper reported. Goforth bested the competition in that scenario. She was less forceful, first waving and giving the Arabic greeting "salaam aleikum," beckoning the man away from three friends, the paper said. She remained firm but respectful using graduated levels of force, voice hardening when needed to keep the situation under control. "It's so important to us not to overdo it when it comes to taking prisoners," she recalls, noting the scandal surrounding U.S. treatment of detainees at Abu Ghraib prison. Goforth's achievements drew the attention of an ROTC program officer at Viterbo University in Wisconsin. Goforth has an offer of four years of free college worth about $60,000 through the university's ROTC program. There is a hitch, however. "There's a possibility of another deployment for me before I can start school, in the new 15-month (deployment) format," Goforth says. "I plan on taking the scholarship, (but) I am a soldier first."

Employers are becoming emboldened as Harper Government continues to turn a blind eye to abuse of TFW program
Edmonton – The time has come for Canadian construction workers to express their outrage at the Harper Government’s temporary foreign worker program (TFWP), which is being increasingly used by employers to displace Canadians and replace them with vulnerable and exploitable foreign workers, says Alberta Federation of Labour president Gil McGowan.
“The construction industry in Northern Alberta generates some of the best jobs in Canada,” McGowan said. “But increasingly – instead of being filled by Canadians – those jobs are being given to temporary foreign workers earning as little as half the prevailing wage. Stephen Harper says he won’t tolerate abuse of the TFW program but the reality is that employers are simply using the program the way it was designed to be used and that is to undercut Canadians. When it comes to the TFWP, Stephen Harper is the walking, talking definition of hypocrisy.”
McGowan’s comments came in response to news that 65 Canadian ironworkers, working for a Alberta-based company called Pacer Promec Joint Venture on Imperial Oil’s Kearle Lake oil sands project, were laid off on Tuesday, Feb. 4, and replaced by TFWs from Croatia who are being paid only $18 / hour – less than half the prevailing wage earned by Canadians doing the same work.
McGowan will be available for comment in Calgary at 2:15 p.m. at the Air Canada departure level. Reporters interested in talking with the ironworkers who were displaced can contact Ironworkers Local 720 Business Manager Harry Tostowaryk at 780-482-0720.

Ive done it a few times and its really annoying so I made a video of it. There is no audio, apparently the Xfire capture is borked and will not record audio but you can see what I'm talking about. I use 100 fov if you are wondering. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_gR2tFteAo http://www.xfire.com/video/1ba18/ <-higher quality You can clearly see there something funny about the collision of the shock balls and the bio secondary. You can easily replicate this glitch in game and may have had it happen to you one or twice already. You can do it on any map too.

Comment Post Cancel PiotrOwnsYou Junior Member Join Date: Sep 2022 Posts: 0 #8 08-16-2008, 05:56 AM It seems as an error with that gate (referring to xFire video). Maybe its a bug that hasn't been corrected (?) Comment Post Cancel Wormbo Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2022 Posts: 1885 #9 08-16-2008, 06:14 AM Large projectiles (shock balls, AVRiLs, Redeemer, Bio secondary) switch to zero-width collision when they move and hit something to check if they should really explode. Rockets, flak grenades and chunks, link projectiles and all hit-scan shots have an infinitely small collision, while shock ball colision is about the same as their visual size. If it wasn't you wouldn't be able to hit a combo even if the ball wasn't moving. I guess the bug here is that large projectiles don't switch to zero-width collision checks when they are spawned. Report it in the 1.4 patch wish list thread. Comment Post Cancel shombowhore Junior Member Join Date: Sep 2022 Posts: 0 #10 08-16-2008, 08:20 AM Nice to see Wormbo is on the ball, as usual.

I did, but the options for the input were line in, mic and CD audio :-/. I'll look at it again later when I care to record audio and video, last time I recorded audio it was so desynced with the video it wasn't worth it anyway. This video does not need audio for you to see a problem though.

It's funny you mention those exact weapons. I've noticed all of those weapons have the property bProjectileTarget=true, which is what I thought was the problem, but your description of zero-width collision sounds like the true problem. If you create a blocking volume with type = 'BlockWeapons', those four weapons can still go through it. It's an annoying bug, and probably due to zero-width collision detection.

The winner will be announced during Indulge. What is your local 417-land charity of choice, and why is it important to you? Your sister. Your best friend. Your coworker. Yourself. Any of these women, along with anyone you know and love, could be or has been a victim. Statistics state that 1 in 3 women are victims of domestic violence each year. Because victims often feel ashamed and frightened of the consequences, they often don't speak out. Fortunately, here locally resides an organization that is taking a stand against domestic violence by raising awareness and empowering victims to regain their livelihood through the organization's countless programs. As the largest domestic violence shelter in southwest Missouri, Harmony House provides shelter, food, clothing, job assistance and medical attention to victims of domestic violence. The organization also helps victims regain their confidence and independence through counseling and support groups. Harmony House works tirelessly to raise awareness and educate the community on the impact of domestic violence. The organization hosts a public awareness campaign called iCar, to address the issue and to drive a "quiet" topic to the attention of many. I was honored to be a face for the campaign by wearing a symbolic black eye sticker for flyers and promotional material. The iCare campaign has also featured city officials, community leaders, law enforcement representatives, business owners and victims of domestic violence. Do you volunteer, or are you involved in any philanthropic or community organizations? If so, what are they, and what do you do? Small acts when multiplied by many helping hands can transform the world. I currently serve on the board for Harmony House and will once again be involved in this year’s iCare campaign. I am also on the planning committee for the American Cancer Society’s Cattle Barons Ball, an annual event to raise money for cancer research and education. Through my position at the Oasis, I am fortunate to continuously be involved with many additional non-profit organizations and their individual fundraising events throughout the year. In addition to these philanthropic organizations, I am also involved on the board for the Springfield Hotel Lodging Association which works to bring visitors to the area and contribute to the economic development of the region. What has been your proudest moment? Or, what are you most proud of? Leading my team to become the No. 1 hotel out of over 800 hotels with Ramada Worldwide in 2015 stands out as my top career moment. This was an incredible achievement for the Oasis. The winner was selected through guest service reviews, revenue growth and quality assurance inspections. We have since won numerous awards, however achieving #1 was by far my most proudest career moment. What was one particularly defining moment in your life? A life-changing moment. Within just a few years, I lost my father and step-father to cancer and my brother-in-law of twenty-five years in an auto accident. The loss of these strong, amazing men left a void in my life. However, coping with the loss has shown me how precious life truly is and taught me to cherish family time, enjoy the small things and appreciate every breath I take. I have set my focus on carrying on the qualities of these three men so that in turn, I will also be remembered as making a positive impact and contribution as a family member, friend, employee and a contribution to my community. When you were a child, who did you think was the most beautiful woman? Why? No question, my mother. She was and still is the most beautiful woman I know. I remember how physically beautiful she was when I was growing up, but as I got older, I realized just how beautiful she is on the inside. The sacrifices she made to provide a good home to my brother, sister and I is something that I will always admire. She was a single mother that taught me at a young age what being beautiful truly means - through encouraging me to be true to myself, to be confident, to be kind and to never be jealous of someone else’s successes. She led by example and was living proof of how to be a hardworking, successful, and independent woman. What do you think is the biggest issue or challenge 417-land is facing right now, and how would you tackle it? Opiates and heroin are one of the biggest issues currently haunting 417-land, in my opinion. It is an ugly subject but it is affecting a great amount of people through their own addiction or those close to them and destroying countless lives. Addiction has no gender or race, age, or social class. The effect of these dangerous and destructive drugs are not only on the user but also on the ones that love them. Addiction has a huge impact on our community because it often correlates with criminal activity such as theft, burglary, domestic violence and assault crimes. It also creates homelessness and panhandling. If our community could find a way to decrease drug usage, I am confident that we would also experience a decrease in crime. I believe that by creating more awareness and education of how to recognize the signs of drug use and abuse initially, making treatment more accessible and less taboo, as well as providing support and counseling for those fighting the battle for someone else are a reasonable start to tackling the issue. Drug addiction affects people all around us and sometimes people that we would least expect. This horrible epidemic has affected my life through someone very close to me struggling with addiction. If we stand together and let our voices be heard, change will happen and recovery will be a growing trend within the community. Previous Back to Voting Next See the winners in the September issue!

T O P I C R E V I E W udayshankar Posted - 06/08/2018 : 11:14:49 The first thing that you need to know when we talk about telecommunication field technician jobs is that it is not an office-based job. You will not be spending hours in the office working. Instead, you will need to work on the site. If you take a look at any telecom engineer resume, you will find that the focus is more on the kind of services that he offers and the kind of experience he has than on degrees. The services that a telecommunication technician would offer are numerous. He makes use of his technical expertise to provide solutions regarding the problems that might arise in different communication modes. This could be related to wireless telephone services, radio and satellite communication, and the internet among other things. https://www.fieldengineer.com/blogs/telecom-engineer-job-description/ 19 L

Web applications which require high scale or redundancy (very common in enterpise environments) must be deployed to multiple web servers and traffic distributed to the servers by a load balancer or proxy of some type. Those applications also often require no-downtime deployments. In this post, we will review how our team deploys our MSDeploy/WebDeploy packages to multiple servers with no-downtime.
The above is a simplified visualization of our CD pipeline workflow. We will review step 3.2 in this post but the other steps are described in the following previous posts.
https://www.dotnetcatch.com/2016/10/14/queue-tfsvsts-builds-via-powershell/
https://www.dotnetcatch.com/2016/11/03/cd-pipelines-for-net-in-thoughtworks-go/
Deployment Downtime
All traffic routes through the load balancer/proxy to be distributed to the available nodes. We must tell the load balancer to stop sending traffic to the node we want to deploy to otherwise users will receive errors as files are updated/added/deleted during the deployment. Additionally we have to wait for the node to complete any queued requests it has already received before we deploy.
Step one is to disable the node on the load balancer/proxy so it stops sending traffic.
Load Balancer API
We, like many, use a load balancer appliance to distribute web traffic to our clusted web applications. Regardless of the type of load balancer you use (hardware, software, SaaS, etc) most of them offer some type of programmatic interface to control the creation/enabling/disabling of nodes behind a virtual endpoint. That being said some APIs are easier to use than others. REST web services are ideal, but that wasn’t an option for us.
Load Balancer NOde Monitoring
Beyond direct interaction with an interface, most load balancers also support some form of monitoring to automatically enable/disable endpoints. We have an HTML file that, if present, tells the load balancer the node is working and available to serve requests. The load balancer checks for the file on some schedule, typically every few seconds, with a timeout.
In our case we simply rename the file using the IIS Administration PowerShell cmdlets and then wait for 30 seconds to make sure the monitor has time to fail:
$monitorFilePath = "IIS:\Sites\$($websiteName)\monitor.htm" $monitorFileDisabledName = 'monitor.disabled.htm' $monitorFileDisabledPath = "IIS:\Sites\$($websiteName)\$monitorFileDisabledName" Invoke-Command -ComputerName $server { Param($monitorFilePath, $monitorFileDisabledName, $stopWebsiteForDeploymentWaitSeconds); Get-Website > $null Write-Host "test path = $(Test-Path $monitorFilePath)" if (Test-Path $monitorFilePath) { $monitorFile = Get-Item $monitorFilePath $monitorFile | Rename-Item -NewName $monitorFileDisabledName Write-Host "Disabled monitor.htm file." # Wait for traffic to dissipate Write-Host "Waiting $stopWebsiteForDeploymentWaitSeconds seconds for load balancer to update..." Start-Sleep -Seconds $stopWebsiteForDeploymentWaitSeconds } } -ArgumentList $monitorFilePath, $monitorFileDisabledName, $stopWebsiteForDeploymentWaitSeconds
We will run this script from our GO! agent but we want to change the filename on a remote server so we wrap the IIS script with a Invoke-Command and set the ComputerName to the remote server. Test-Path is extended by the IIS Administration cmdlets to also search the IIS site list by default but for some reason that didn’t work unless we first called Get-Website. Not sure why but that seemed to initialize the IIS site list and then the Test-Path call was successful. If the monitor.htm file is found on the site we change its name using the Rename-Item cmdlet and then call Start-Sleep to wait for the load balancer monitor to fail.
Stop the Site
Next we want to stop the IIS site using the Stop-Site cmdlet. This will wait for all pending request to complete and gracefully stop the website.
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $server { Param($websiteName); stop-website -Name "$websiteName" } -ArgumentList $websiteName
For more information about the Stop-Website cmdlet visit the following link:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh867853(v=wps.630).aspx
Once the site is stopped you can rename the monitor file back to the correct name because the stopped site won’t respond to monitor check requests. This is not needed if you do not use virtual applications in IIS. We use a mix of websites and virtual applications under sites, so in some cases we are stopping the parent website and then deploying the virtual application. This deployment won’t replace the renamed monitor file in the website root and the monitor will be stuck in a failed state.
One final note here, my assumption is the Stop-Website command is a blocking call and will return an error if the site cannot be stopped but I haven’t found documentation explicitly stating this. So we might end up adding some script to verify the site is stopped before continuing to the deployment.
ASP.NET AppOffline
ASP.NET offers a really neat feature whereby you can instruct the site to redirect all requests to a AppOffline page if it’s present. Additionally, WebDeploy also provides support for enabling AppOffline during and deployment and even providing a custom AppOffline template page:
https://blogs.iis.net/msdeploy/webdeploy-3-5-rtw
This could be used to disable the monitor and stop the site from serving new requests (queued requests are processed normally). In our case, the monitor is a static HTML file and is not processed through the ASP.NET pipeline. Sites in AppOffline mode still serve static files so this approach doesn’t work in our situation. We could have changed our monitor file to be an .aspx file but we didn’t want to update our 50+ websites.
Deploy the Package
Finally we will deploy the WebDeploy/MSDeploy package and restart the website:
& $deployCommand /M:$server /Y -setParamFile:$setParamFilename $build.additionalMSDeployArgs -verbose 2>&1 Write-Host "Starting Website '$websiteName' on '$server'" Invoke-Command -ComputerName $server { Param($websiteName); start-website -Name "$websiteName" } -ArgumentList $websiteName Write-Host "Waiting $stopWebsiteForDeploymentWaitSeconds seconds for website to start..." Start-Sleep -Seconds $stopWebsiteForDeploymentWaitSeconds
Again we wait for a few seconds to make sure the site has time to initialize and the load balancer monitor succeeds.
Multiple Deployments
Obviously we will perform the steps above for multiple servers. We use a json file to configure the nodes we wish to deploy to:
{ "builds": [ { "name": "MyWebsite (Pkg)", "teamProject": "MyTeamProject", "environments": [ { "name": "DEV", "servers": [ "DEVServer1" ] }, { "name": "QA", "servers": [ "QAServer1", "QAServer2" ] }, { "name": "MOCK", "servers": [ "MOCKServer1" ] }, { "name": "Release", "servers": [ "Server1", "Server2" ] } ] }, { "name": "MyApp.Db.Sql.Deploy (Pkg)", "teamProject": "MyTeamProject", "environments": [ { "name": "DEV" }, { "name": "QA" }, { "name": "MOCK" }, { "name": "Release" } ] } ] }
We parse the json and loop through the builds/environments to perform the deployments:
... $builds = $deployConfigJson.builds foreach($build in $builds){ $environment = $build.environments | Where-Object {$_.name -eq $environmentName} | Select-Object -First 1 Write-Host "Environment = $environment" if ($environment -ne $null) { $buildName = $build.name Write-Host "Build = $buildName" $teamProject = $build.teamProject Write-Host "Team Project = $teamProject" ...
Summary
Zero-downtime deployments can be bit tricky to implement and the process will likely be different across development shops based on their infrastructure but it is possible. It often hard to share these types of scripts broadly but hopefully this post helps you think through the process.

I have read all of Craven's 11 book series plus a couple of the additional ones like Rebel Radio and Good Fences and couldn't put them down !
I am scrambling to find more of his books. I have read so many apocalyptic books lately so I have experienced the ones where it was heavier on the more graphic portrayal of the violence and devastation but this series told the story without being too heavy handed with things. It was a smoother type reading but still had all the trials and deaths and struggles portrayed of the other EMP destruction stories and also had the personal and emotional struggles of the people expressed. You were able to travel along with them in their thoughts and see things they saw. You became attached to them and hung on the words to see what happened to them. So many people learning to find how tough and resilient they had to be to stay alive yet keep their humanity. So many horrible things happening and just how horrible some people can be when rules are not keeping them under control. I also loved some of the military strategy used especially by King and Michael and also at the farm. Having the center of it all being Blake and his farm and his Rebel Radio was a great way to draw in stories from other areas going through the devastation. It allowed the story to continue with multiple experiences. I wish the books continued on longer. It was hard to see them coming to an end. Thank you Mr Craven for a very enjoyable series of books to read and experience through your writing. | positive |

Top 10 Things Cops Don’t Want You to Know, and Everything You Wanted To Know But Were Afraid To Ask
Have you ever seen a police officer, and wanted to ask that burning question you’ve always had, but never found the nerve to ask it? Is there a rumor out there you’ve always heard, but wondered if it was true or just a myth? Well, Hope in the Homeland surveyed over 100 people, and turned over the Top 10 questions to our resident law enforcement official. Below are the most informative (and entertaining) questions and answers.
Question #10: Do cops have monthly quotas for tickets? Am I more prone to getting a ticket at the end of the month to meet monthly quotas?
I often hear people say that police officers are more prone to give tickets towards the end of the month in order to meet their monthly quota. The truth of the matter is that the days of ticket quotas as a means to gauge officer productivity is long gone. In fact, in most states, law enforcement quotas are against the law, and expressly prohibited by policy. This myth came about due to the fact some agencies, more specifically smaller local agencies, are funded by ticket revenue. To combat the tendency for the public to think officers unnecessarily write tickets to fund their departments, some agencies are funded through other sources. For example, the largest state police department in the nation is not funded by ticket revenue, but by motor vehicle registrations fees.
So while there might be some places you are more likely to get a citation, it does not have anything to do with a mad dash at the end of the month to meet a quota.
Question #9: If I get involved in an accident, am I legally required to call the police? If not, what information should I obtain from the other driver.
I get asked this question quite a bit, actually. If someone is injured, unlicensed, or uninsured, I would recommend calling the police to come take a traffic collision report. If only property damage is involved, you are not legally required to contact the police to generate a traffic collision report. If you elect to exchange information with the other driver, as opposed to obtaining a police report, you should obtain, at a minimum, the following information:
Driver license number Driver’s name Driver’s date of birth Driver’s phone number Vehicle license plate number Vehicle make, model and color Driver’s insurance company and policy number
Question 8: I’ve been pulled over many times and let off with a warning, without the officer even looking at my driving record. I’d expect that experience is very different for people of color. When does an officer give a warning versus a citation? What steps do you take to suppress bias in your decision making?
This question strikes at the very concern the law enforcement industry is currently facing with the public we serve. Let me answer the hard question first. Everyone has personal biases; it is part of being human. Until officers are replaced with robots, departments will continue to go to painstaking efforts to drill into their officers that personal biases shall be checked at the door.
In answering when does an officer give a warning versus a citation, the answer is much more simple. Officers are given an immense amount of discretion when taking enforcement action on infractions (normal traffic rules). The point of traffic enforcement is to modify behavior. It is about encouraging the motoring public to safely operate motor vehicles in hopes to decrease traffic accidents and fatalities. If I can get someone to drive safer with an encouraging discussion, then I will give a warning. If the driver, or the driver’s record, indicates the driver needs a more structured form of encouragement, then I, along with most officers out there, will give a citation.
Question 7: Do crimes in the projects [or low income areas] get as many resources allocated towards solving it as crimes in more affluent areas of a city?
Absolutely yes! It is extremely disheartening to hear political “leaders” suggest that police departments do not take crimes seriously, simply based on the location of the crime. This claim is most often done for personal and political gain. Even more disheartening is that the public, with the assistance of the media, believes this falsehood. Police officers don’t get to choose which crimes to investigate, and which crimes we can file as “unsolved.” In all honesty, it is our goal to solve any crime placed in front of us. If I can link in an earlier question, solving crimes is more of a gauge of an officer’s productivity and ability than the number of citation he or she issues.
Question 6: Is being openly gay in law enforcement difficult? Do gay officers get a hard time from other officers?
Society is changing…and if you are with the right agency, so are they. Most people/officers don’t really care about their co-workers’ sexual preferences any more than they care about if they are right-handed or left-handed. How an officer is treated boils down to their character and abilities on the job. Are they an honest person? Are they an effective officer? Are they a hard worker? Are they willing to lay down their life for the man or woman standing next to them? Those are the questions we use to measure a person’s ability to do this job. Some of the best men and women I have served with over the past 15 years have been openly gay men and women.
Question 5: Do radar detectors even work? Should I spend money on buying one if it will help me get out of a ticket?
Finally, an easy one! Radar detectors work. But so do police radars. By the time the radar detector picks up the radar that has already detected your speed, and your ears have enough time to hear the detector screaming at you, and your brain has enough time to signal your foot to ease off the gas and hit the brakes, the officer has already obtained your speed and is most likely putting the patrol vehicle into drive to catch you. So should you spend money buying one if it could help you from getting a ticket? Nope! Save your money and train yourself to drive slower and safer.
Question 4: Do cops and firefighters get along? I heard there was a bit of a rivalry there.
Cops and Firefighters are like brothers and sisters. When times are good and nothing bad is happening, we enjoy a sibling rivalry that involves jabs, practical jokes, and a bit of hazing. But when times are tough and lives are on the line, there is no one I’d rather trust my life with than a trained firefighter. Have there been instances that have resulted in increased tension between our occupations? Yes. But we both fall under the first responder umbrella, and I’d do anything I could to protect those men and women riding on that annoying, loud red engine.
Question 3: What’s the hardest part about becoming a cop?
No academy can adequately prepare someone for the reality that causes many people to rethink this career choice. Law enforcement is an ugly, toxic, and sometimes heartbreaking business. When one realizes the evil other people are capable of, it becomes a real eye-opener. Learning to embrace the physical and mental dangers associated with police work is often the hardest part of being an officer.
Question 2: Is it true that when an officer discharges his firearm, the objective is to kill? Why don’t officers ever try to merely wound or incapacitate someone that causes a threat?
The short answer is no, a police officer is not trying to kill anyone when they are forced to fire their weapon. Most departmental policies state something similar to the following: an officer is legally authorized to discharge a firearm when confronted with an imminent deadly threat, or to prevent and/or stop a deadly felony.
That being said, shooting is a very precise and accurate activity. We train our entire careers with our sidearm. Moreover, we train to hit the largest part of the target (the torso). Add in a stressful situation, a moving target, background safety, and other variables, shooting accurately is nearly impossible. Aiming for someone’s hand while they hold a deadly weapon, or shooting them in the arm while they charge you with a knife is unrealistic. When an officer shoots someone, they are trying to stop the threat or violent behavior. Unfortunately, death is sometimes the byproduct of that, but is never the goal.
And the most asked question in the survey… With the current feelings towards law enforcement these days, would you do it all over again? How would you feel about one of your children following in your footsteps?
I had to do some serious soul searching for this question. While I realize that the institution of law enforcement is experiencing an enormous amount of strain with several sectors of the public, I did not join this occupation because officers are beloved by all. We sign up to be police officers to make our corner of the world just a little bit safer. It sounds cliché, but believe me when I say this: 99.9% of all officers truly want to make their communities safer…even if that means laying down our lives to attain that goal. So would I do it all over again? In a heartbeat. Do I want my children to follow in my footsteps? Absolutely not! I would rather my children do something much safer, that was less likely to ruin their marriage, and didn’t put them in regular contact with the ugliness of humanity.
If you, your spouse, or your child is thinking of a career in law enforcement, I would encourage you to start your discussion with these responses. Because the reality is there is a percentage of us that do not come home safe at the end of every shift. However, I can say wholeheartedly, no occupation, in my opinion, is quite as rewarding as wearing a badge. | positive |

The Dark Tower may not be hitting theaters until August but we've journeyed to the depths of Mid-World and beyond to bring you the latest details about the hotly anticipated Stephen King adaptation. While at this year's San Diego Comic-Con, Nerdist sat down with The Dark Tower director Nikolaj Arcel, who gave us the inside scoop on how the feature film adaptation will tie into the larger world and mythology of Stephen King's magnum opus.
Arcel revealed which books in the sprawling saga The Dark Tower film will draw from and how they hope to expand the story in a companion TV series, which he is currently writing for and developing. The TV series, which will focus on the younger years of Roland Deschain, will allow the creative team to explore storylines and fan-favorite moments that they simply aren't able to fit into the 95-minute film. | positive |

An Analysis of Popular Car Colors
Patrick Mcdevitt Blocked Unblock Follow Following Aug 6, 2015
According to NHTSA, PPG, edmunds.com and many other related organizations, the color white is currently dominating the automotive market.
Taking the average of PPG and DP data for the year 2012, I created a Gauge set, inspired by the visualizations on Axalta’s 2014 report. It made perfect sense to use gauges for visualizing cars data.
In all four regions, white is indeed the most popular color and black is the close follower. Drivers in the US and Canada, apparently prefer the color red a bit more than others. In Europe, black vehicles number twice as the silver ones.
Black is preferred mostly by luxury car owners. Most say that a darker paintjob is harder to keep clean. It also was the first trend in history of cars. Henry Ford discovered that black is the fastest drying paint. Ford T models, the first mass produced car, were all black.
White is the highly preferred color and it’s even more common in warmer climates like the southern States or the Middle East. Today, it is the most popular choice in almost all markets.
Mercedes-Benz started using the color silver in its early formula cars. Afterwards, it was to become the company’s iconic image. People started showing more interest in getting metallic colors, no wonder. Until mid-2000s, silver paint was king; it has charisma and doesn’t show scratches or dirt as much.
Some argue that, over the years, Apple’s selection of products lead to this preference pattern by the car buyers. As Apple products shifted color, from gray to white, so did cars. Almost every human being knows of the color selections of their products. Furthermore, the ambience of an Apple Store is something people don’t forget easily. While it’s simply a theory, it does make some sense in explaining why all the cars are white now. This color has a stronger image than before and is accepted widely, plus it matches with almost every color combination.
Men and women show a slightly different interest when it comes to color selection. Iseecars.com data shows that; men prefer red, orange and black more, while women like silver and brown better. However, these numbers don’t deviate too much from the median, for both genders.
Statistics indicate that black cars have a higher chance of getting involved in an accident than white cars. This probability increases dramatically, outside the daylight hours. Since insurance companies don’t take the car color into account, it is arguable if safety is affected by this specification at all. More evidence is needed here to make solid conclusions.
While still being a controversial subject, some colors are more prone to theft than others. A study in Netherlands (and another article) indicate that more common a cars color, the more likely it is to get stolen. The idea behind this would be the ease of resale.
So, if your vehicle shines in the weirdest color ever, you may not be able to sell it later. If you opt for a car right-outa-the-showroom and pick a common color, your car is more likely to get stolen. On the other hand, if your car is as dark as a Batmobile, people most probably won’t see you as good in the traffic. Which color would/did/will you pick? | positive |

Makeup packaged as CDs and cassettes are reminiscent of the decade’s anti-glamour aesthetic and a reflection of the designer’s passion for music. MAC describes the collection as “hi-fi colors at max volume,” most evident in a 29-shade eyeshadow palette disguised as a boom box. Scott says, “I wanted this collection imagery to show different inspiring moments in music, including a boom box, cassette players and CDs, and really play on the frivolity of a night out as well as makeup and music’s transformative power.” Declare your undying love by blasting this boom box any time.

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Launches Spring Admission Program
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Launches Spring Admission Program
Troy, N.Y. – Each fall, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute welcomes a new class of incoming students to the Troy campus. To expand access and opportunity to the Rensselaer transformational experience, the Institute is launching a spring admission program.
“A Rensselaer education—through our innovative pedagogy, global challenge-linked research, and a transformative student experience—positions our graduates to truly change the world,” said Karen Long, acting vice president for enrollment management. “The Institute receives a record number of applications each year, and by instituting a spring admission program, we will be able to provide a unique pathway for a select group of outstanding and mature students to study at Rensselaer.”
This year, the Office of Enrollment Management received 17,000 applications. Eighty-one percent of the admitted students are coming from the top 10 percent of their class. In addition, admitted students represent all 50 states and 34 countries.
“The Admissions staff is working to choose students who will thrive and contribute to the Rensselaer community,” Long said. “Students who have demonstrated leadership, as well as intellectual, cultural, and creative diversity in their high school careers, are individuals who can contribute to the vibrancy of our campus.”
While at Rensselaer, students will always have a close-knit group of peers and advisers to turn to. The model of college life, CLASS, or Clustered Learning, Advocacy, and Support for Students, includes both residence- and time-based clustering. As part of the learning and living environment at Rensselaer, the model ensures that students become an integral part of a strong community of learners, as they share their experiences with fellow students and create their own pathways to success.
To enroll in the spring admission program, it is expected that the majority of the students entering in January will graduate with their class in May of their senior year. This can be accomplished by taking classes elsewhere before enrolling at Rensselaer, obtaining AP/IB credit from high school, taking summer courses before enrolling or in subsequent summers, or some combination of these options. Rensselaer will also offer second semester freshmen courses for many majors in the summer.
In addition, prior to enrolling at Rensselaer in January, students are expected to use the summer and fall semesters before matriculation to pursue a wide range of interests, including taking courses at other colleges, or engaging in internships, volunteer work, outdoor exploration, or paid employment.

As we type, a Category 5 Cyclone* is due to hit the north east coast of Australia. Cyclone Yasi is projected to have winds in excess of 295 kph (183 mph). [For reference Hurricane Katrina had wind speeds of about 280 kph (175 mph).] Several hours ago the cyclone was causing storm surges to generate waves measured over 9.5 metres high (or 31 ft), even before it made landfall. The illustration above represents Cyclone Yasi's size, relative to the USA. The Herald Sun also have comparisons to Asia and Europe.
This cyclone is bearing down on the Australian state of Queensland, which is still in the throes of recovering from unprecedented flooding that covered an area said to be equal in size to most of the United Kingdom. A flood that the Australian Federal Treasurer said it is the "biggest natural disaster" in Australian history, with Initial estimates of the damage ranging between $5 billion and $15 billion AUD. Further south, the state of Victoria has been experiencing "one of its worst flood events in its history," with a damage bill estimated at $2 billion AUD. And now comes Cyclone Yasi.The Australian Broadcasting Commission, (ABC), the government's national communicator has a news page up on tropical cyclones, mentioning the last cyclone to threaten this region in 2006, Cyclone Larry, who left a repair bill of $1.5 billion AUD in his wake. The ABC note that Cyclone Yasi will be at least twice the diameter of Larry, with more severe winds. We think of those tens of thousands of people now bunkered down in evacuation centres, or with friends and family, for the next terrifying 12 hours without power, and with the possibly of no home to return to.
This has been a summer that few Australians are likely to forget, not the least of all meteorologists. The Sydney Morning Herald reported that the city of Sydney was experiencing its hottest week on record, with the city centre having six consecutive days above 30°C (86°F) and some western suburbs sweltering through seven days exceeding 35°C (95°F). But these temps were put in the shade by a record spell of hot weather in the country's famous Red Centre, where some areas roasted through temperatures of up to 46 degrees Celsius (114.8°F) throughout a ten day period.
Those areas of the state of Victoria not submerged under water (considered in some regions to be a one-in-two-hundred-year-flood) have recently been subjected to the opposite, the ravages of bushfires.
Western Australian has had a spate of bushfires as well, and South Australia has endured a long hot period, similar to the year when its neighbouring state lost over 170 people to bushfires. Emergency services in Australia have been asked to step up to the plate with a regularity this summer, that is without precedent.
But getting back to Cyclone Yasi. The ABC website asked the question: Is climate change a contributor to that? Their answer:
"Climate change would suggest warmer sea temperatures in some parts of the world and temperatures in the Coral Sea this current summer are the highest since records began in the 1900s, so global warming may be a factor in that. The warmer the atmosphere the more moisture it can contain, and the more thunderstorms you have the more heat is released into the atmosphere through latent heat release. So it implies that would increase either the intensity or number of tropical cyclones."
This summer may be the harbinger of what human induced climate change could hold, not just for Australia's future, but that of other nations too. More intensive extremes of weather, resulting in loss of life, severe destruction to property, infrastructure and agriculture, not to mention the vastly damaging impact on flora, fauna and ecosystems.
*NB: A tropical cyclone is like a hurricane, but they spin in different directions. A Category 5 Cyclone is the most catastrophic on the scale.
UPDATE: The reference to Katrina was provided so our predominately US readers might relate to the scale of what was happening. If we only had an Australian audience, I wouldn't have bothered with the comparison.
But here is a infographic from the ABC illustrating comparisons. Click the image for a large version to pop-up. At no time was the suggestion that Yasi was bigger than Katrina, only projected to be stronger.

After seven months out of the cage, UFC women’s featherweight Cris Cyborg wants a fight.
Well, one might think there’s a simple solution. After all, since Holly Holm has been booked against Bethe Correia at an upcoming event in Singapore, there are just two women officially a part of the UFC women’s featherweight division — Cyborg herself, and the champion Germaine de Randamie, who defeated Holm for the belt at UFC 208.
Yet after calling for her shot at the championship (which was originally introduced by the UFC with her specifically in mind), Cyborg has yet to be assured by the organisation that she will meet de Randamie inside the cage any time soon, despite being determined to compete at UFC 214 in July.
“We are not sure who I am going to fight at UFC 214,” Cyborg said, speaking to TheMacLife. “I am still hoping to fight Germaine at UFC Anaheim but we are seeing more and more rumors that she is going to be taking some time off and with the UFC where there is smoke there is usually fire.
“I don’t think she is avoiding me, but I think fighting is not a priority for her right now. I am hearing she has other concerns in life right now and is going to be taking sometime to focus on those areas that are needing her attention before returning to the Octagon. She is a muay thai legend and finished her career undefeated. In MMA she has already had several great performances, and has even dealt with the experience of losing and coming back to fight.
“I think a fight between myself and GDR would be one for the fans. It is a great matchup between two powerful strikers. I believe I have a more ways to win the fight, and think at the end of the match fans would see why I have remained unbeaten 10 years.”
While a Cyborg – de Randamie title fight would seem like a foregone conclusion, de Randamie has been almost entirely radio silent since winning the title in February. Although the Dutchwoman had made mention of requiring hand surgery, it seems as if it’s something else that’s keeping her from in-ring activity.
Re: GDR, her immediate future is up in the air. Not likely for 7/29. Maybe 4th quarter 2017. Even been some talk of vacating. All TBD. — Ariel Helwani (@arielhelwani) April 28, 2017
While that fight is what makes the most sense, time outside of the ring has left Cyborg impatient and de Randamie or not, she intends to compete at UFC 214 on July 29. And as such, she’s calling on the UFC to introduce another female featherweight into the organisation.
“If GDR is not able to fight UFC 214, I think it would be a great opportunity for the UFC to sign another featherweight to the promotion. With Julia Budd already signed to Bellator it would be a great opportunity for the UFC to bring Megan Anderson into the promotion from Invicta,” Cyborg said.
“Considering Holly had lost two in a row and GDR was ranked #10 at 135-pounds before her fight, this bout could be viewed as a true unification of the world title considering I vacated the Invicta FC belt [when I was] ranked #1 in the world at 145lbs, gifting it to Megan Anderson who is currently ranked #3.”
In spite of her enthusiasm to get back into the Octagon, there is still something of an underlying issue between Cyborg and the UFC.
Her prolonged absence, once again, brought her and the UFC brass into conflict, with UFC president Dana White having stated that the fighter had declined two bout agreements. For her part, Cyborg maintains that she had merely asked for more time to recover from a pair of particularly gruelling weight cuts.
Add in a brief USADA saga that was eventually cleared up, and it still feels as if the pound for pound best female fighter in the world hasn’t quite been embraced by the promotion as much as she could have been. For instance, there aren’t many fighters who receive bizarre jabs from official UFC Twitter accounts. | positive |
Hanukkah gelt (Yiddish: חנוכה געלט ḥanukah gelt ; Hebrew: דמי חנוכה dmei ḥanukah, both meaning literally "Hanukkah money") refers to money as well as chocolate coins given to Jewish children on the festival of Hanukkah.
History [ edit ]
Money [ edit ]
Rabbi A. P. Bloch has written that
"The tradition of giving money (Chanukah gelt) to children is of long standing. The custom had its origin in the 17th-century practice of Polish Jewry to give money to their small children for distribution to their teachers. In time, as children demanded their due, money was also given to children to keep for themselves. Teenage boys soon came in for their share. According to Magen Avraham (18th century), it was the custom for poor yeshiva students to visit homes of Jewish benefactors who dispensed Chanukah money (Orach Chaim 670). The rabbis approved of the custom of giving money on Chanukah because it publicized the story of the miracle of the oil."[1]
According to popular legend, it is linked to the miraculous victory of the Maccabees over the ancient Greeks. To celebrate their freedom, the Hasmoneans minted national coins.[2] It may also have begun in 18th-century Eastern Europe as a token of gratitude toward religious teachers, similar to the custom of tipping service people on Christmas.[2] In 1958, the Bank of Israel issued commemorative coins for use as Hanukka gelt. That year, the coin bore the image of the same menorah that appeared on Maccabean coins 2,000 years ago.[3]
Chocolate [ edit ]
American chocolatiers of the 20th century picked up on the gift/coin concept by creating chocolate gelt. In the 1920s, Loft's, an American candy company, produced the first chocolate gelt, wrapped in gold or silver foil in mesh pouches resembling money bags.[2]
Chocolate 'geld' is also given to children as part of St. Nicholas Day in Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands (geld, spelled with a d, being both the Dutch and German word for money).[2] Today most of the chocolate Hanukkah gelt sold in the United States is imported, including from Dutch firms Steenland Chocolate and the Israeli firms Elite and Carmit.[2] Gourmet versions of chocolate gelt have been produced in the United States and Europe as well.
Customs [ edit ]
Parents often give children chocolate gelt to play dreidel with. In terms of actual gelt (money), parents and grandparents or other relatives may give sums of money as an official Hanukkah gift. According to a survey done in 2006, 74 percent of parents in Israel give their children Chanukah gelt.[4]
In Hasidic communities, the Rebbes distribute coins to those who visit them during Hanukkah. Hasidic Jews consider this to be an auspicious blessing from the Rebbe, and a segulah for success. The amount is usually in small coins.

Royce Freeman joined esteemed company upon bursting through Arizona State's defense during a career-long 64-yard touchdown run last Thursday, becoming the fourth Oregon Ducks running back to rush for at least 1,000 yards in consecutive seasons.
Only Maurice Morris (2000-01), Onterrio Smith (2001-02) and LaMichael James (2009-10-11) can boast membership in that club alongside Freeman, the UO sophomore from Imperial, California.
Four days later Freeman joined another group of distinction when he was named one of 20 semifinalists for the 79th Maxwell Award, given to college football's most outstanding player. Quarterback Marcus Mariota was
and is Oregon's only winner of that award.
Mississippi State quarterback Dak Prescott and TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin are repeat semifinalists, while Utah running back Devontae Booker, USC quarterback Cody Kessler and Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey join Freeman from the Pac-12 Conference.
He stands among the nation's best running backs statistically, and could be among the backs up for the Doak Walker Award when it announces its own semifinalists later this month. Freeman's 138.6 rushing-yard average ranks eighth-most among FBS backs, and only Wyoming's Brian Hill has more runs of 10-plus yards this season than Freeman's 39.
Freeman now ranks seventh all-time at Oregon with 32 career rushing touchdowns and his 12 career 100-yard games are third-most at UO, behind Kenjon Barner and Jonathan Stewart's 14 and LaMichael James' 26.
The Maxwell Football Club also announced Monday its semifinalists for the Chuck Bednarik Award, given to college football's most outstanding defender, but Ducks defensive end DeForest Buckner did not make the cut after being on the award's preseason "watch list."
Buckner, a senior, has a team-leading 11 tackles for loss and six sacks along with 44 tackles, which are third-most for the Ducks. Those numbers helped him get added in late October to the midseason watch list for the Ted Hendricks Award, which goes to the top defensive end.

Developers: bored with bracketing? Got a dose of “escaping ennui”? Why not write bad erotica instead?
That's the brilliant/sick objective of a project called "Fetlang" that recently emerged on GitHub thanks to a chap called Dagan, aka “Property404”.
As the repo's readme explains:
“Fetlang is a statically typed, procedural, esoteric programming language and reference implementation. It is designed such that source code looks like poorly written fetish erotica”.
Admittedly, Vulture South hasn't tried to code anything in Fetlang, but clearly an evil genius has been at work in (we hope) a suitable lair:
Make Sean moan Worship Carrie's feet Bind Amy to Saint Andrew's Cross Have Amy hogtie Sean If Amy is Carrie's bitch Make Slave scream Sean's name Make Sean moan
If you need to access a value inside a chain, you need a “bondage loop”, and for an exit, a developer will call safeword (of course).
Perusing the tutorial explains that Fetlang's outputs exist as a Unix stoud wrapper – meaning to get the output “Hello! This is my first Fetlang program!” comes from the command:
Make slave scream “Hello! This is my first Fetlang program!”
There's much, much (NSFW) more in the tutorial.
It's hardly surprising that “Fetlang is not recommended for production use at this moment, especially in medical or military applications”.
And the license is "BSD, modified", or BSDM. Which for those of you who led sheltered lives is a nod to BDSM, the acronym for "bondage, discipline and sadomasochism". ® | positive |
Introduction
Hydroponics may be considered as the growing of plants in a soil-less medium with the roots in a water system containing an artificial nutrient supply. Many of us growing bonsai utilize an inorganic soil mix and simply water and fertilize trees with a solution of chemical fertilizer. Many bonsai grown in this "soil" thrive and develop as well as in soil mixes composed of significant amounts of organic materials and fertilized with organic and inorganic fertilizers. In a simple way these bonsai are really being grown hydroponically. My idea was to test whether plants grown in my normal bonsai mix and watered and fertilized "normally" would grow as well as in a hyrdoponic system. An experiment
About two years ago, three identical Ficus microcarpa cuttings were potted into a soil of 100% small red lava. One was placed into a hydroponic bath system. A pump and timer automatically flushed water and hydroponic fertilizer through the pot three times daily for one half hour each time. The two other pots were placed nearby and watered with reverse osmosis water, as are all my other bonsai. Water was applied manually as needed, generally once each day. A chemical ferilizer such as Miracid or Miracle Grow was applied at half strength once a week, and a long-acting chemical fertilizer was also applied to the soil surface every two to three months. No organic fertilizer was used on any of the trees. When insects were detected, all the trees received appropriate insect sprays . The plants were not trimmed or shaped in any way. The experiment was terminated at 2 years and the photograph below shows the trees. The results
The hydroponically grown tree is on the right and has a trunk of 3/4" while the two other trees have trunks of less than 1/2". In addition, the hydroponic tree has something like 5 times more foliage than the conventionally grown trees. Conclusions
It is difficult to know why the hydroponically grown tree was more vigorous. Could it be that my normal watering is not as healthy? Perhaps, I am watering too much or too little? Perhaps my fertilizer regimen is not as good as it might be. Perhaps I need to be using fertilizer more often than weekly, or perhaps the fertilizer should be stronger than half strength. Or perhaps I need to add some inorganic material to my soil? As is often the case, one experiment leads to more questions and to more experiments. Responses
Dennis Howke of Spokane, Washington, concludes that my normal fertilization with half strength fertilizer should be modified to one quarter strength and used every day. Then the hydroponic and normally grown plants should grow at the same rate. Another way to do this is to use a fertilizer injector, a device that automatically adds fertililizer to the water, and to use this each day. Thus making the process of fertilizing less troublesome. Over the last year I am currently using an automatic fertilizer injector and feeding my trees with each daily watering. So far results are very encouraging with excellent growth in all my bonsai and no apparent problems. | positive |

While not all academic research on urbanism is (or even should be) immediately actionable and directed at practitioners, I've always thought that there needs to be a better connection between researchers and practitioners—researchers need to hear from practitioners what kinds of research questions they need answered; practitioners should make use of scholarly research.

Bye in Brooklyn The Architect's Newspaper Brooklyn's first park may be getting a new entrance that some say would open up the green space to the neighborhood, but opponents contend the renovation would erase significant historic fabric, including a rare public commission by the late modern landscape architect Arthur Edwin (A.E.) Bye, Jr. In light of divided public testimony, the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission postponed a vote on a Parks Department plan to redesign a main entrance at Brooklyn's Fort Greene Park. The renovation would eliminate one of the few public works by an eminent 20th-century landscape architect, following a trend in New York City park design that opens park edges to the streets.

WATERTOWN, N.Y. (AP) - The last time Joseph Sweet had his old wallet, he was pulling dollar bills out of it and setting them on fire to light his way out of a cave.Seventeen years later, he'll be getting the wallet back, thanks to a group of spelunkers.The Watertown Daily Times reports that six members of the Niagara Frontier Grotto, a western New York chapter of the National Speleological Society, found the wallet after being the first allowed into the Watertown cave since it was sealed off after Sweet and a companion spent two days stranded underground.City officials gave the group permission to explore the many caves that honeycomb the ground under city, located 65 miles north of Syracuse. When one of the explorers came across the black wallet Saturday, the team knew that it was Sweet's because of the stories they had heard about the two men's 1996 rescue, veteran caver Joseph J. Giunta said."It is really cool," said Giunta, 62. "It's an incredible story. They were very lucky, very fortunate to be alive."In July 1996, Sweet, then 19, and Darren Blanchard tore down a brick wall erected to keep people out of the underground maze of passages along the Black River. They had a flashlight but its batteries died when they were about 175 feet into the cave. They burned $70 in bills to keep them warm and for light, but still couldn't find their way out.Nearly two days later, they were rescued by firefighters.The wallet contained paper and coin money, bank and library cards and Sweet's driving permit. The group of western New York explorers plan to give the wallet to Sweet this weekend when they return to Watertown to start surveying and mapping out the caves.___Information from: Watertown Daily Times, http://www.watertowndailytimes.com(Copyright 2013 The Associated Press.

Another day, another blackface scandal. Settle in for a long ride because they won’t stop while the lies of nation persist, writes Amy McQuire.
Over the weekend, yet another blackface scandal broke. It must be at least the third this year, almost time to begin a running tally. This latest outrage came in the form of the Frankston Bombers Football and Netball Club on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria.
The club reluctantly apologised yesterday after Aboriginal musician Briggs posted a screengrab of their Instagram page to Facebook, where they had uploaded several pictures of their members dressed up in blackface.
The party theme was to imitate your favourite musician, inevitably allowing an opportunity for blackface – the war paint of racists the world over.
Briggs was understandably offended, and said so on his page, which predictably attracted the ire of white commentators outraged that their infantile need to engage in racist humour should dare come under scrutiny.
Comments like “oh my god, it’s a footy club dress up, it’s a bit of fun and a laugh with no racist intent at all”, attracted 300 likes, and encapsulated the type of remarks typical of white people who can’t see the irony in lecturing everyone else on what racism actually is, despite never being the victim of it themselves.
We are all familiar with this argument by now. You’d think racists would come up with a bit of creativity.
The club were unique, however, in following up with an expletive-ridden message left on Briggs’ phone, which he also posted to his Facebook page. After media attention, the Bombers followed up with its own statement wishing to “assure supporters, sponsors and the wider community that the club is no way racist and unreservedly apologises for any offence that has been caused.”
I guess that means this scandal is done and dusted.
But it’s only been about three months since the last Blackface scandal – when Briggs and fellow First Nations musician Thelma Plum called out two men who had painted themselves black and donned red loincloths to mock Aboriginal people. That scandal attracted an even greater deal of media attention.
It hit the news just before US singer Rob Thomas apologised for making a racist remark during a Melbourne concert. Around the same time, Opals basketball star Liz Cambage also hit the headlines for calling out her teammate Alice Kunek after she posted a photo of herself in blackface.
HOUSE AD – NEW MATILDA NEEDS YOUR HELP TO FUND OUR COLUMNISTS. YOU CAN CHUCK IN A FEW BUCKS TO OUR LATEST POZIBLE CAMPAIGN HERE
I can completely understand the anger these incidents provoke, because they are constant reminders of how deeply ingrained racism is in this country. I can understand the outrage from First Nations peoples. It becomes exhausting seeing how ferociously racism is defended by white people who will never experience it.
Unfortunately, these scandals only ever last for a couple of days. They dwindle and die after the apology, where nothing is resolved. And then they crop up again like weeds in some other party around the country. Meanwhile, when they do, Blackfellas are again forced to deal with the prejudice, ignorance and outright hatred because nothing was ever really resolved.
I just wonder how these continual blackface scandals impact the collective psychology of our peoples, who are not just dealing with the daily occurrences of racism, but the deeply entrenched structural racism that corrupts our institutions.
Calling out one football club over their ignorance only individualises the problem.
It makes it seem as if racism can be stopped by individuals who change their minds, or who are pressured into quietening their prejudice, when really they are simply cogs in the machine.
Australia is propped up by racism – the power structures of this racism have never been dismantled because of the collective failure to deal with the lies at the heart of the nation – the genocide and invasion of this country.
The individuals in blackface have no power except to make us angry. They are by-products of a racist machine, and until that machine itself is dismantled, it will continue to produce them.
Calling them out for their individual idiocy ultimately does nothing except silences them for a while before the next scandal erupts.
You could argue of course, that we can do both at the same time. We can call out the idiots in blackface and also actively work to dismantle their manufacturers. But so much energy gets wasted on the former, on arguing with people who have had their ignorance instilled since birth, that sometimes I wonder if there is a point.
And I wonder how these small fights affect us psychologically as we wage the bigger battle.
The media also thrives on these scandals, and presents them as individual acts of racism, misinterpreting the true scale of this problem.
Meanwhile, as a whole, it is apathetic when Aboriginal people are victims of even more insidious acts of racism. Like deaths in custody, missing and murdered Aboriginal women, the underpayment of wages, stolen wages, stolen children, the list goes on.
I guess this is because it means confronting even more disturbing truths. Too much work for white media.
Sometimes it’s easier to write about some idiot in black make-up than the power structures that enable that racism to exist and thrive.

All the details are reported in our update (click here).
We created the first and only cooperation between Kickstarter projects and we are proud of this.
What is smARtDUINO?
smARtDUINO is the newest and easiest tool to create electronic projects. How easy? Let’s compare an actual common solution with smARtDUINO:
Not only the easiest, also the most flexible
smARtDUINO is the most advanced platform for the creation of electronic projects and even products.
It is the only platform that is not based on a single processor, architecture or language but, in-fact, leverages a "universal" or common platform that can be used to connect components originally developed from different companies, technologies and form factors.
smARtDUINO allows you to integrate modules, accessories or shields from various other platforms such as Arduino™, Netduino™, ChipKit™ and even interact with smartphone using an ADK module.
There are virtually no limits in the number of different components that can be integrated in a system, with smARtDUINO.
smARtDUINO also offers a perfect solution to problems with the typical microcontroller shields made for existing platforms.
With an existing platform, it can be challenging to control motors with a motor shield, drive an LCD display, and utilize a wireless interface, in the same time. Many times you can use one or two of these functions but, with power and connections restrictions, you often cannot get them all working at the same time, without complicated breadboarding and soldering.
Above you see 3 common components. These components will not all hook in together without some hard work and extra parts. This means more time and money for you.
With smARtDUINO, you can keep your current boards and shields and use our smARtBUS Open I/O to solve this problem, as shown below, and save your time and money. It's all plug & play!
smARtDUINO is INNOVATIVE
With our innovative tools and platform you can now easily create projects that before were very complicated. Now you will be able to develop ideas that were never possible with previous platforms.
For a great example see our QUAD CORE Arduino™ test below:
How can it be useful? Think about all the tasks that one single processor can't perform. For example, if you need high rate sampling of many analog and digital inputs along with the storing of the data on a memory card. It can be very difficult for a single AVR to perform this task with more than one channel to sample. With smARtDUINO you can have more AVR cores running in the same system, each one performing a set of tasks, and they all share the same resources. They can work together and also write on the same memory card!
How much does this kind of solution cost? The retail price for all the parts used for the example is only US$68,60!
Check out the working video to see this impressive feat in action and how it works. Something not possible before today:
Where is the magic?
The magic has a name: smARtBUS Open I/O
smARtBUS Open I/O is the solution we propose to the Open Source Hardware community to solve the problem of the communication between different platforms.
When we started engineering the smARtDUINO project, the basic idea was to separate the CPU and USB functions from the rest of the board, which includes voltage regulator and connections, to create a platform that can be easily moved from prototyping to production.
During this process, we studied and tested many different prototyping boards and a large quantity of shields. What we realized is that, in most cases, these products can share resources, cooperate and work together in a mixed environment but, to reach this result, it’s mandatory to create custom cables, do soldering, create adapters and, in many cases, modify the boards to solve hardware conflicts.
We understood that this is a limit that prevents many people from accomplishing goals and there are no clear solutions on the market dedicated to this important problem.
To solve this issue we designed a specific bus that can be used by any developer of boards or shields, with the opportunity to open the doors to many different platforms.
We promote and support the adoption of the smARtBUS Open I/O by the global Open Source Hardware Community, not just because we created it, but, because it's based on components with high availability in the global market. There is simply no other proposal for this and the smARtBUS Open I/O is today, the only solution of it’s kind.
All the technical details, including designs, references and datasheets about the smARtBUS Open I/O are available for free on our website.
What makes smARtDUINO different?
smARtDUINO is Open - this doesn't mean simply that the designs are available online under Creative Common License. Open for us means "for anyone", accessible, cross-platform, flexible and adaptable. With smARtDUINO different technologies can be used in the same system. It's possible to create a full project that can use totally different processors, for example an Atmel AVR and a Cypress PSoC. What makes it truly remarkable is that the different CPUs and totally different architectures can run together, at the same time, in the same system, sharing resources and interacting.
smARtDUINO is Plug & Play - perfect for all the people that didn't buy before an electronic development platform because they can't solder or they simply think it's too complicated. It's the perfect platform for those who want to start to know the physical and logical computing.
smARtDUINO is for everyone - not only for the beginners! The most advanced users will discover that, thanks to the smARtBUS Open I/O and the many solutions we have already designed, they will be able to do things and get solutions to problems that before were impossible, because the limits of the actual existing products.
smARtDUINO is 100% compatible - it is completely compatible with the existing hardware and software. Any development tool can be applied to modules designed for smARtDUINO as they would their normal counterpart.
smARtDUINO is ready to make final products - this platform is not just for prototypes or personal projects. Since we have been developing products for over 15 years we know that, when you get a prototyping system, you can use it to test and develop the idea but, after that, you will need to design your own finished system. This costs a lot of money, not only in engineering but especially when you want to start production, because the minimum quantities for a cost efficient production run are high and will require big investments. That's why we designed this new Open System, to be ideal not just for prototyping but for the creation of final products, with very low costs even for one or few dozen of pieces.
smARtDUINO is smaller - almost every component made for smARtDUINO is much smaller than the actual market's equivalent. The obvious exceptions are the adapters for different existing form factors that must have the same sizes of the products are designed to adapt to.
smARtDUINO is cheaper - We could say "the cheapest". With smARtDUINO the saving, compared to similar products and technologies, can be up to 50% or even more in some cases.
Who created smARtDUINO?
We started our company over 15 years ago in the north of Italy, in a very small town. Our company used to be a contractor for the manufacturing of Arduino™ and, a couple of years ago, some important staff left the factory that manufactured the Arduino™ to join us. With this transition we gain a lot of experience in this field.
What makes us different, from the people that usually propose this kind of projects on Kickstarter, is the fact that we are involved and specialized in making products, not just experimenting or prototyping. This allowed us to think and design something that goes a few steps beyond.
We run our business in Italy but we also have our own office and staff in Shenzhen, China since 2006, and a branch in Orlando, Florida. We are still a small company, only ten people running a typical family business, but with a very deep knowledge and huge experience.
More details about us and more pictures are available on our website: smartduino.com
You can also follow us on facebook and twitter.
How smARtDUINO works
smARtDUINO is a System. What does this mean?
Basically, what we did is to choose some rule about sizes, ways of interfacing, design and production. All these together become the definition of our System. Following these guidelines, thanks also to the documents and designs all available for free. Anyone can interact with the System, integrate with it and can expand upon it.
Our System is composed by four basic elements: smARtCORE, smARtHOST, smARtBUS, smARtMOD.
smARtCORE
A sMArtCORE board is the heart of any system, as it hosts the CPU. Any smARtDUINO system must include at least one smARtCORE in order to be capable to execute tasks and yes, this means that you can have more than one CPU in the system as demonstrated above.
The smARtCORE actually represent 90% of other similar products, including the USB and power selection functions, in a 1x1" (25,4x25,4mm) small board.
Compared to existing products, the smARtCORE saves over 60% of the space. There are other boards a little smaller than ours, some also appeared here on Kickstarter, but without USB so, we can say that the smARtCORE is at the moment the world's smallest board offering all the functions of the Arduino™.
smARtCORE U compared to the equivalent ARDUINO UNO
The big advantage of adopting the smARtCORE is that you can swap it, according to your needs.
These are the smARtCOREs available at the time:
smARtCORE U (100% compatible with Arduino™ UNO R1 and R2, as well as previous models). The retail price for this board will be only 14.90US$
smARtCORE L (100% compatible with Arduino™ Leonardo). The retail price for this board will be onlu 9.90US$, making it the cheapest ever Arduino™ fully compatible device.
The smARtCORE L is 100% compatible with ARDUINO™ Leonardo
smARtCORE M (100% compatible with ARDUINO™ MEGA) is available and tested.
smARtCORE Z (100% compatible with ARDUINO™ UNO CPU only) it's the cheapest solution to create your final product, as it offers the full functionality of an ARDUINO™ UNO board without the USB at the very low retail price of only 7.90US$ for a single piece.
smARtCORE C (100% compatible with ChipKit™) has been developed and is under testing. It will be available for the backers that choose the Hacker Kit and the All In One.
To repeat for clarity: you will be able to use the same hardware, same shields, devices, extras, all compatible by design, both with Amtel AVR or ARM Cortex technology just swapping the CPU modules as needed.
smARtHOST
This is the way you will expand your world, virtually infinitely.
A smARtHOST is a board that can receive a smARtCORE in order to create a more complex device. A virtually infinite number of smARtHOSTs can be part of the System, adding any function the project requires. A smARtHOST is not mandatory, as any smARtCORE represent a system itself but it requires extras to interact with the physical world.
The most common smARtHOST is the smARtHOST ARDUINO™ which replicates the size and the connections of an Arduino™ board. You can just plug a smARtCORE on this smARtHOST and you actually get a fully 100% Arduino™ compatible board, actually a clone.
The genius of the System is, as noted, that you can exchange different kind of smARtCOREs so you can have a pin to pin Arduino™ compatible board that can receive any shield made for that platform, running a totally different kind of CPU.
smARtHOST ARDUINO™ + smARtCORE U = ARDUINO™ UNO
smARtHOST POWER
Allows you to provide to the system an external power source with minimal space used, to be independent from the USB as source of energy. You can check this product's page.
Example of a smARtHOST POWER and a smARtCORE L matched
It's an alternative to the smARtHOST POWER and, with only 15% more space used, offers not only the 5V but also the 3.3V required by many projects. More details in the product's page.
smARtHOST HIGH POWER
It's dedicated to those projects that require a lot of energy, for example to support many shields or extras. In a size that's only 50% bigger than a standard smARtCORE (1,5"x1,5") this power beast offers an output to the system of over 2A for the 5V plus 1A on the 3.3V, for a total of 3A and up to 15W of power.
smARtHOST BREAKOUT
It's dedicated to the pure tinkerer and offers in a very small form-factor (1,5"x1,5") a breakout output with wide spacing (0,1" - 2,54mm) and every signal present on the board, including power, interfaces, communications and every I/O.
smARtHOST BREADBOARD
It's the one that you are going to use if you really want to do something by yourself. On this board you will get direct access to every signal, like the smARtHOST BREAKOUT but from a very convenient set of female jumpers plus a prototyping breadboard with 34 rows and 170 contact points where you can plug any device you want.
This module will be shipped with a set of pinhead terminated cables included.
smARtHOST WIRES
It's your open door to the rest of the world without requiring any soldering. It offers all the signals, available through standard ribbon cables that can be terminated with a connector or with a pinhead. More details in the product's page.
This module will be shipped with the ribbon cables included.
smARtHOST MEMORY
Allows to use a microSD card as storage for all the data collected or generated by the device. The big difference with the common shields made for ARDUINO™ is, beside the much smaller size, the ability to manually select the I/O pin to be used for the communication with the memory card host. Check the full description on our website.
smARtHOST USB/ADK
Get ready for Android! The smARtHOST USB/ADK offers a simple and cost effective solution to add USB-HOST support to your system. You can receive inputs from USB, with keyboards, mouse, barcode scanners, as well as you can read USB memories or drive Bluetooth Dongles. Most importantly, you can communicate with any Android device (starting from OS version 2.3.6) to exchange data. What makes our smARtHOST USB/ADK a very special solution is the fact that you can select the I/O channels that you want to use to control it. This means that you can share the I/Os with any other device and in particular that you can add more than one smARtHOST USB/ADK to your system and interact with more than one USB device at the same time.
smARtHOST ETHERNET
This Ethernet module allows you to connect the whole System to the Internet. It's based on the WizNet W5100 chip, the same used by ARDUINO™'s ethernet shield and its 100% compatible with the ARDUINO™'s Network Libraries. With this smARtHOST you can transform your system in a web server that publish the reading of the signals from any device or can respond to remote commands, for example.
smARtHOST LCD 16x2
This allows you to add a plug-n-play display solution to your project for a very (very) low price. The smARtHOST LCD 16x2 is already configured to use standard I/Os and its 100% compatible with the LiquidDisplay Library from ARDUINO™. The particular design of this smARtHOST is intended to let you be able to keep the full control of the System. For example, in order to use a smARtHOST BREAKOUT, keeping the LCD separated from the other boards. The module is available now and included on some of the reward kits.
smARtHOST LCD MOD
This is the first of a series of smARtHOSTs intended to be used to create finished products, ready to sell. With this smARtHOST, the connections to position a smARtCORE and other smARtHOSTs or smARtMODs are doubled and are on the front and back side. This allows you to create very small products, with all the functions you need, with the size limited only by the LCD display. The module is available now and included in some of the reward kits.
smARtHOST LCD PRO
This is a different solution, also intended to be mainly used for the creation of finished products. As the smARtHOST LCD PRO, it offer the connections for the smARtCORE on the back side but, it offer the connections that can be used for any other smARtHOST or smARtMOD. The module is available now and included in some of the reward kits.
And counting... we have over twenty more products under development or testing. In order to control the size and scope of this project we have chosen not to include them in this kickstarter project, but be assured this platform has many growth options that will be available to you to meet your needs what ever they may be. We have things like control motors, bluetooth and wireless mesh networks, wifi, gps, gsm, mp3 and sound, graphics displays and other kind of I/O like printers will be available at the time the products hit the distribution network, just after all the Kickstarter's rewards will be delivered.
smARtBUS
This is the center of the system and we have already described the basics. smARtDUINO offer many different components to extend and adapt the smARtBUS to any needs. Plus, it's easy to eventually design and produce special adapters for the smARtBUS, as all the resources for the design are available totally free.
We designed many different solutions to use smARtBUS Open I/O for the creation of complex systems.
smARtBUS BASIC and smARtBUS FULL are simple, vertical extensions of the bus.
smARtBUS DOUBLE allows to extend the BUS and offers a support base, as it doesn't carry the bus connectors on the bottom side.
smARtBUS MIRROR offers the same functions of the smARtBUS DOUBLE but the second set of connectors is mirrored, changing the directions of the components.
smARtBUS QUAD offers 2 sets of smARtBUS FULL plus two additional sets of smARtBUS BASIC.
It's also available in the version smARtBUS QUAD POWER that offers additionally the functions of a smARtHOST POWER.
smARtBUS EXTENSIONS horizontal and vertical are also available and allow to replicate the signals as many times as you want.
smARtBUS FOR ARDUINO™
Plugged on an Arduino™ or compatible board, will allow to use any component designed for the smARtBUS.
smARtBUS for Arduino™ Shields
Lets any Shield designed for the Arduino™ form factor to be integrated in a system based on the smARtBUS.
smARtMOD
The smARtMODs are modules created to offer basically Input and Outputs devices ready to be plugged on a smARtBUS. With the smARtCORE, the smARtMOD doesn't carry over the signals with a set of headers and receptacles for the smARtBUS. The smARtMODs are designed to be placed on a top of a smARtBUS stack.
smARtMOD LCD 16x2
LCD Module that can be plugged on any smARtBUS header.
smARtMOD BUTTON
Available in different configurations:
5TO5D = 5 buttons connected to 5 digital inputs
5TO5A = 5 buttons connected to 5 analog inputs
5TO1A = 5 buttons connected to 1 single analog input, using resistive dividers to generate different voltage at the pressure of different buttons
smARtMOD LED 5TO5D
Offers 5 red LEDs connected on 5 digital outputs.
Many different smARtMOD can be designed and many are already in development. We will keep track (to the extent possible) of every module available and inform the community from our website and forum.
Status of the project
Research & Development : done! We spent about a year doing research, designing solutions and experimenting with the results. The System is evolving daily but the design of the 40 modules we introduce here is completed.
Prototyping : done, a lot! You can see in the videos and in the pictures, we produced a huge amount of prototypes. We can probably say that no other projects before, here on Kickstarter, produced as many prototypes as we did.
Testing : thousands of hours. We even published some tests, like the video on Youtube about the 250.000 seconds long run. We tested every component in details and we executed all the examples in the Arduino™ library to ensure compatibility.
Pre-production : completed. We designed the panels for the PCB factory, we produced the SMD silk screen masks and released the files for the setup of the pick&place and the visual check.
Production: 100% ready, just waiting for you!
Why Kickstarter?
We created a product that we will produce and distribute, anyway. We have chosen Kickstarter because we think it hosts a very important community of people that have real passion for technology.
A successful project on Kickstarter will represent for us a solid customer base. Because we have chosen not to sell directly the products, we need the support of distributors and resellers. With a consistent customer base from the Kickstarter campaign, we will have more to offer to the resellers than just a great product.
We hope you like our idea and will choose to support us. It's a great deal, you can get products that elsewhere will cost more than double and we also offer free shipping :-)
Be quick! Back us before we run out of t-shirts and grab your free one!!!

10 Tips For Buying A Franchise Resale - Franchise.Law OFFICE HOURS: 9AM - 5PM MON TO FRI Client Vault CALL US: (980) 202-5679 About Us Jason W. Power Jonathan N. Barber Our community Testimonials Franchising Your Business Franchising Essentials State Franchise Laws Financial Assurance Obligations How to Research Franchise Competitors International Franchising Franchise Agreements Franchise Registration Franchise Timeline Reasons to Franchise Growing Your Franchise Agreement Termination Contract Disputes Franchise Arbitration Renewing Agreements Resources Blog FAQs Our community Services Financial Assurance Obligations Franchise Compliance Franchise Disclosure Document Contact Us Blog 10 Tips For Buying A Franchise Resale Established Franchisors Many entrepreneurs new to franchising look to buy a new outlet; however, what they do not realize is there is another way to become a franchise owner. Purchasing an existing franchised business can be a great way to buy an existing income stream without having the initial headache and costs of build-out and training staff. When buying an existing franchised business, you should consider several factors. Below are just a few to consider: 1. Read the Franchise Agreement/ Franchise Disclosure Document You will be as obligated to your franchise agreement as the previous owner was to theirs. Whether you are buying a new franchise or an existing franchise, you will be required to sign a franchise agreement. You should take the time to read and understand your rights, duties, and obligations as a franchise owner because your life as a franchise owner will be controlled by these terms for the next 10 or more years. 2. Make sure the franchisor approves of the transfer Every franchise agreement states that the franchisor has the sole authority to approve of the transfer and of you as the buyer. If the franchisor does not approve of the transfer or you as the new owner then the entire transaction could be cancelled. If the sale is cancelled by the franchisor, you could be left in a much worse position than when you started. 3. Have a valuation of the business performed You wouldn’t purchase a house without knowing its value, so why would you purchase a business without knowing its value? When you purchase any business, you should make sure to know and understand the actual value of the business. This many times is different than the asking price and can give you some room for negotiations. Value can include a variety of things such as the business goodwill, the current inventory, equipment, etc. The best way to determine the value of a business is for either you or the seller to hire a company that focuses on business valuation services. Alternatively, the seller may utilize their accountant to help determine the value. It is up to you whether you trust the value enough to move forward. 4. Determine why the existing owner is selling You do not want to buy a business on its way down the drain or one where its location is about to be terrible due to changes in traffic patterns. Additionally, you need to know the status of the industry to make sure that it is a sustainable industry. You should always ask why the franchisee is selling. Many times the owner wants out of the business due to retirement or personal reasons, but find out why. 5. Obtain and review financial statements Purchasing a business that is not profitable is not a smart move. Request at least the last 3 years financial statements from the seller and review them with your accountant to determine profitability and to look for trends. You should also ask the franchisor to provide you with financial information about the seller’s business to make sure both sides’ information matches up. 6. Talk to other franchisees and the franchisor about the seller Learn about the seller and the reputation he/she has and the reputation that the actual business has in the system. If you are buying into a business with a bad reputation then you could have an uphill battle fixing it with your fellow franchisees and the franchisor. 7. Pay the transfer fee Most franchisors require that a transfer fee be paid to them to cover their costs in evaluating the transfer and you, as the buyer. Either you or the seller must make sure this fee is paid. This transfer fee can be a flat rate or a percentage of the franchise fee. Before you finalize your purchase agreement, make sure this transfer fee is accounted for. 8. Analyze the franchisor Once you purchase the franchise, you will become a franchisee and subject to the rules and responsibilities imposed by the franchisor. Just like you would do if you were buying a new franchise, you should conduct your own investigation of the franchisor to determine whether they have the systems and procedures in place to support the system as a whole. There are franchisors that do not have the infrastructure, systems, procedures or vendors in place to support the system which hurts the franchisees. 9. Will the staff stay A business without staff is useless. If the business you are purchasing has staff or a management team, determine early on if they will stay with the business or if they plan to leave with the seller. Also, if the franchise was run by the seller with little or no staff, such as a small home based business, you should request that the seller agree to be a consultant with you for a set period of time to introduce you to customers, referral sources, vendors, etc. 10. Have a franchise attorney review the agreements Purchasing a franchise, even an existing one, involves various areas of law that many attorneys not familiar with franchise law may miss or may deem absurd. Have a franchise attorney review all the franchise agreements and purchase agreements before you sign. These are just a few of the tips that go along with buying an existing franchise. Purchasing an existing franchise has many different aspects that need to be addressed. Before you sign the new franchise agreement and the purchase agreement, you should talk with an advisor, like a franchise attorney, to determine if there are any other aspects of the sale that need to be addressed.

Sheriffs investigators don't believe that Hailey Suder took part in the attack, but they do believe that she helped her boyfriend and his brother escape. NBC 7's Omari Fleming has more from Las Colinas Detention Center. (Published Friday, June 17, 2016)
High School Student Arrested in Connection With April Beating Death of Homeless Man in Santee
An 18-year old Santee woman is behind bars, facing a murder charge for the beating death of a homeless man.
Hailey Suder is now the third person arrested in connection with the murder of George Lowery, 50, on April 24.
Brothers Austin Mostrong, 20 and Preston Mostrong, 19, were arrested in connection to Lowery’s murder.
Santee Brothers Accused of Torture in Man's Beating Death
Two Santee brothers were in custody, accused of murder, torture, robbery and kidnapping in a beating that ultimately took a homeless man’s life, San Diego County Sheriff’s Department officials said. NBC 7's Artie Ojeda reports. (Published Wednesday, May 4, 2016)
Lowery and his wife, Penny, lived in the riverbed in a homeless encampment.
Officials from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department (SDSO) said Penny found him unconscious in the riverbed just west of Chubb Lane and N. Magnolia Avenue in Santee. He had suffered trauma to the head.
He was taken to the hospital and died of his injuries five days later.
Now, NBC 7 has learned that Suder was present when the homeless man was beaten. Investigators said although there is no evidence she took part in the attack, Suder helped the Mostrong brothers escape.
She was arrested Thursday on the 9800 block of Via Rita, just east of Cuyamaca Street near her home in Santee.
Some neighbors told NBC 7, the allegations against Suder surprised them because the teen seemed to be a nice girl.
“If you know they're beating the guy to death, stop it. Do anything you can. Yell for help,” neighbor Lisa Kruis said.
Kruis said she is stunned that the teenager is accused of having such a blatant disregard for life.
“Remember that some day that could be you. You never know where life's going to take you,”she said.
One friend, who did not want to be identified, said Suder began to change when she started dating Austin Mostrong.
A classmate of Suder's from Santana High School expressed his disbelief that she was charged with murder.
“No one knew it was her. That' the shocking part, is that we remember hearing about it in Santana but no one ever thought it was one of us. So that’s the shocking part, really,” said Justin Fejeran.
Suder was a senior at Santana High School and pictures showed that she had been a cheerleader.
Lowery's wife Penny told NBC 7 previously that her husband was beaten after a dispute over a paintball gun. She said he had tried to protect another homeless man a week before he was killed.
The Mostrong brothers have pleaded not guilty to charges of kidnapping, murdering and torturing George Lowery.
Suder is scheduled to be arraigned next week. | positive |
On Monday, Harald Helfgott of the École Normale Supériure in Paris posted a proof of one of the oldest open problems in number theory to the preprint repository arxiv. The ternary Goldbach conjecture, like so many questions in number theory, is easy to state but hard to prove. Every odd number greater than 5 can be written as the sum of three prime numbers. (Prime numbers have no factors other than themselves and the number 1.) For example, 7=2+2+3 and 91=7+41+43.
The ternary Goldbach conjecture is sometimes called the weak Goldbach conjecture. The strong Goldbach conjecture states that every even number greater than 2 can be written as the sum of two primes. Both conjectures were formulated in correspondence between Christian Goldbach and Leonhard Euler in 1742, hence the name. Logically enough, if you prove the strong Goldbach conjecture, you get the weak one for free: if you have an odd number greater than 5, subtract 3 from it. Now you have an even number greater than 2. So if you know that every even number greater than 2 is the sum of two primes, you can add 3 (a prime) to it to get your odd number, decomposed into the sum of three primes.
Sadly, it doesn't work the other way. If you have an odd number written as the sum of 3 primes and subtract one of the odd primes, you're left with an even number written as the sum of two primes, but there's no guarantee that all even numbers will show up this way. But the ternary Goldbach conjecture does establish that every even number can be written as the sum of at most 4 primes: just subtract any odd prime number (for example, 3, or 257885161-1 ) from the even number you want to split up, and you're left with another odd number, which we now know can be written as the sum of three primes. This improves Olivier Ramaré's 1995 theorem that every even number is the sum of at most 6 primes.
Helfgott's result is a big deal, but it didn't come as a lightning bolt from the heavens. His work is part of a long line of papers using a technique called the Hardy-Littlewood-Vinogradov circle method. (Catchy, huh?) The very general idea of the circle method is that we turn a question about a set of numbers, in this case the primes, into a question about integrals over circles using techniques originally coming from analysis in the complex plane. It seems kind of miraculous that it's even possible to convert questions about integers, which are spaced out discretely on the number line, into questions about continuous functions. "Questions of distribution of primes, or integers, can be expressed naturally in terms of the properties of continuous functions defined in terms of them," Helfgott wrote in an email. A more concrete explanation of the circle method is beyond me, but if you want to dig into it and its limitations a bit more, you can check out this post by Terence Tao. It's not for the equation-averse.
In the 1930s, Soviet mathematician Ivan Vinogradov established that the ternary Goldbach conjecture holds for all but finitely many odd numbers, so if someone could "just" check the odd numbers below a certain huge number C, everything would be good. There was just the pesky problem that Vinogradov's bound was on the order of 106846168, an impossibly huge number for today's computational resources, much less those available to Vinogradov. Over the next 70 or so years, the upper bound was whittled down to around 101346 as of 2002, but it was still far too large to handle.
Helfgott started working on Goldbach's conjecture in 2006 as a postdoc in Montréal. "I had been trying to see what some different ways of proving Vinogradov's theorem would be," he wrote in an email. "I realized that one could prove it without the circle method," he wrote, but, "it didn't seem possible to give reasonable bounds C by the alternative proofs." But papers and conversations with other researchers gave him hints of how to improve the bounds coming from the circle method.
Helfgott eventually managed to wrestle the upper bound down to 1030, a much more manageable size, and with David Platt of the University of Bristol, he verified the conjecture for all numbers below that bound by computer. But the heavy computational resources were dedicated to proving the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH) for a large but finite number of cases. The GRH is one of the most important unsolved problems in mathematics. If solved, it would help us understand the distribution of prime numbers much better than we do. In fact, if the GRH were proved, the ternary Goldbach conjecture would be a corollary. But for the time being, computer-assisted checks of GRH for certain numbers are the best we can do.
Of course, making substantial progress on a problem that some of the most brilliant mathematicians of the past century have worked on was not an easy task. "There were several blind alleys-at one point I had to throw away a 50-page manuscript," Helfgott wrote. "It was difficult to tell down the middle whether the plan would truly succeed. After all, if I had brought C down to 10100, that would still have been larger than the number of subatomic particles in the universe multiplied by the number of seconds since the Big Bang-there would have been no hope of checking things that far!" Helfgott wrote that keeping track of the bounds explicitly was one of the most difficult parts of the work. "One annoying thing about the problem was that it turned out not to be the kind of thing I could work on in my head while at the movies or at a concert (not that I should)," he wrote. "I did get some good ideas in the shower, though."
Helfgott's paper has not been peer reviewed yet, but number theorists seem to be optimistic that the theorem will hold up to scrutiny. Unfortunately, it doesn't provide much illumination on the strong Goldbach conjecture. Terence Tao, who proved last year that every odd number can be written as the sum of at most five primes, wrote on Google Plus that "the circle method is very unlikely to be able to settle the even Goldbach conjecture by itself." Helfgott wrote that the problem is essentially that the strong Goldbach conjecture would require asymptotic estimates—more refined information about the values of certain quantities—at key points, rather than the coarse upper bounds available through current methods.
I asked Helfgott how he had celebrated his accomplishment. "Well, I gave a talk on this yesterday, and then I was taken out for dinner by the locals, as usually happens when one visits a place to give a talk. My parents are coming to visit now, so it will be a very good time to take a short break." Helfgott is understandably relieved to have this major project finished and get back to his normal routine, which includes non-mathematical study as well. "I sometimes faced the difficult dilemma of whether to work into the night or prepare for a Russian test instead," he wrote. "Hopefully I will be catching up on languages now that this is done." Helfgott is fluent in English, French, Spanish, German and Esperanto, and according to his blog "badly needs to practice" Polish, Quechua (an indigenous language in his home country Peru), and Russian.*
The title of this post is an allusion to Bach's Goldberg Variations. I can only hope that Vi Hart or another talented person is writing a song about the Goldbach conjecture to the tune of the theme from the Goldberg Variations. In the meantime, here's a Wired article from 2012 about a cool visualization of the notes.
*This sentence was edited after publishing. Helfgott emailed me to correct the list of languages he speaks. He also sent me a more recent photo of himself, which I have added to the top of the post. | positive |
