Meta Archive for "Jan 13 2006" I wonder how much scratch he squeezed out of Dartmouth’s “Young Democrats” for the joy that is Allie in bombast mode. Also, this college rag really needs to tighten up its fact-checking when it comes to reality, because they got Sharpton bio pretty loosely outlined whitewashed clean: Never having held elected office, Sharpton rose to national fame after running unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate in 1988, 1992 and 1994. He ran for New York City mayor in 1997 and for president in 2004. No stranger to controversy, Sharpton has been accused by critics of overplaying the race card and misspending public campaign funds. In December 2005, he agreed to repay $100,000 in public campaign money, because he had exceeded federal limits on personal expenditures. Most of those campaigns were either jokes or scams, and anybody who’s familiar with Rev. Al would testify to that. Also, Sharpie “rose to national fame” when he used Tawana Brawley–never caring for a minute that her story was complete bullshit–slandering people like Steven Pagones in the process, strictly to get himself national exposure. Really, you just cannot leave out the Tawana hoax when describing the guy’s background. It’s how he got the notoriety to have the balls to even attempt all those bullshit campaigns beginning in 1988. He was just a two bit horeseshit Brooklyn rabble-rouser in a velour sweat suit (with an ugly piece of bling hanging from his neck) before that girl’s tall tale fell in his fat-assed lap back in ’87, and Sharpie decided to kindle the racial fireworks, never once caring whether her story was true, but it got all the newspapers and television cameras lined up for his theatrical schtick, and a “star” was born.

Arachidonic acid metabolism in isolated aorta and lung of the rat: effects of dipyridamole, nifedipine, propranolol, hydralazine and verapamil. Effects of some vasodilating (dipyridamole, nifedipine and verapamil) and antihypertensive (propranolol, hydralazine) drugs on arachidonic acid metabolism in isolated rat aorta and lung have been studied. Dipyridamole significantly increased the formation of PGI2 in aorta and lung. Nifedipine and verapamil decreased the formation of PGI2 in aorta, these drugs though significantly increased the formation of PGI2 in lung. Nifedipine showed no appreciable effect on the generation of TxA2 in rat aorta but in lung both nifedipine and verapamil reduced TxA2 formation though significantly only in the latter case. Dipyridamole showed no effect. The beneficial effect of dipyridamole, seems, at least in part, to be due to its ability to enhance the production of PGI2 both in the aorta and lung, and probably in other tissues as well. Nifedipine and verapamil may show their antianginal effect by a combined effect of enhanced PGI2 and reduced TxA2 formation in lung. In lung, whereas hydralazine reduced the formation of both PGI2 and TxA2, propranolol increased the formation of PGI2. Hydralazine reduced the formation of TxA2 and increased PGI2 formation in aorta. The effect of the drugs on the ability of rat aorta to inhibit collagen induced platelet aggregation of human blood platelets was also examined.

Q: Exercise 5.20 from John Lee's ISM. Every open subset of a immersed submanifold $S$ in the subspace topology is also open in the submanifold topology This is Exercise 5.20 from John Lee's ISM. The text says this is simply an observation but I'm having trouble proving this fact. Suppose $M$ is a smooth manifold and $S \subset M$ is an immersed submanifold. Show that every subset of $S$ that is open in the subspace topology is also open in its given submanifold topology; and the converse is true if and only if $S$ is embedded. $S\subset M$ immersed submanifold means that $S$ is endowed with a topology (call it the submanifold topology) and a smooth structure in which the inclusion map $S \hookrightarrow M$ is a smooth immersion. Since the subspace topology is the coarsest topology in which the inclusion map is continuous, and smooth maps are continuous the first fact follows. However, I am not sure how to show that the submanifold topology is contained in the subspace topology only if $S$ is embedded. A: $S$ is an embedded submanifold if and only if the inclusion $S\hookrightarrow M$ is a smooth embedding, but we are supposing already that $S\hookrightarrow M$ is a smooth immersion, so it follows that $S$ is an embedded submanifold (in our given scenario) if and only if $S\hookrightarrow M$ is a topological embedding. Okay now, if you unravel the definition a tiny bit you'll see that $S\hookrightarrow M$ is a topological embedding if and only if the given submanifold topology on $S$ is the same as the subspace topology coming from $M$. But we are in a situation where you've already proved that the submanifold topology is finer than the subspace topology, so in fact the two topologies agree if and only if the subspace topology is finer than the submanifold topology

MÉXICO -- Agustín Marchesín tiene el sueño de ir al Mundial de Rusia con la Selección de Argentina, aunque en la última convocatoria antes de que Jorge Sampaoli presente la lista final, no fue considerado para ello. Marchesín durante un partido con el América Imago7 El arquero del América fue criticado por la prensa de su país por los cuatro goles que recibió frente a Nigeria el pasado mes de noviembre en encuentro de preparación y el entrenador decidió no llamarlo en esta ocasión, algo “injusto” para el guardavallas de las Águilas. “Me sorprendió no estar, incluso me resulta un poco injusto, vengo teniendo un buen presente en mi club”, dijo en entrevista con Closs Continental de su país. Marchesín analizó su presente y defendió su actuación frente a Nigeria el pasado mes de noviembre. No piensa que ese encuentro debe ser el único parámetro para decidir si puede o no estar en la Albiceleste. “Juego todos los fines de semana, creo que estoy haciendo bien la cosas para seguir en la Selección. No soy tonto y sé que el partido de Nigeria (2-4) fue un partido atípico, pero sé cómo fueron los goles, no creo que algún otro portero pudiera atajar esas pelotas. Aparte considero que un partido no sirve para evaluar", añadió. En la actualidad, los arqueros llamados por Sampaoli para enfrentarse a Italia y España fueron Sergio Romero, Wilfredo Caballero y Nahuel Guzmán. Marchesín, ante ello, no se desilusiona por más que los días para el Mundial de Rusia cada vez son menos. “Es mi sueño jugar el Mundial y todavía no me considero afuera de la lista”, sostuvo.

Spiritual striving, acceptance coping, and depressive symptoms among adults living with HIV/AIDS. We prospectively examined the effects of spiritual striving, social support, and acceptance coping on changes in depressive symptoms among adults living with HIV/AIDS. Participants were 180 culturally diverse adults with HIV/AIDS. Participants completed measures of spiritual striving, social support, coping styles, and depressive symptoms at baseline, three-month follow-up, and six-month follow-up. A path model showed that spiritual striving had direct and indirect inverse effects on changes in depressive symptoms. The relationship between spiritual striving and depressive symptoms was partially mediated by acceptance coping, but not by social support. Results suggest that people living with HIV/AIDS who strive for spiritual growth in the context of their illness experience less negative affect.

We need to get this going. When I was at Steve's picking up the Taboo, he let me borrow some tapes. I played them over the weekend. I never heard a master on my R2R. Holy sh*t. The dynamics are unreal. That is all I have to say about that. Steve sent me home with a copy of his Twins soundtrack. I got my deck setup last night (MX-5050B BII2) and ran "side A". It sounded great! It didn't have the heft that the master has, but damn it's good! I also picked up (from craigs list) a collection of tapes from the '50s and '60s that included an Akai consumer R2R - the deck needs cleaning badly, and the volume pot is all scrachy and intermitten, but it too sounded good! I actually listened to a James Bond album on Reel to Reel via the Mystery amp, and it was quite engaging! To the point of distracting me from writing E-mails and keeping me up till 1am last night playing with tapes. I have my work cut out for me bringing both these decks into 100% full function (the Otari needs a 1/4 track head), but I think I'm on a good path to some great sounding music. Steve said he thought my MX5050 was the best $400 source he's ever listened to. I'm enjoying this, but Reel to Reel is such a paint in the ass without easy to acquire media. Part of me hopes the PS Audio DirectStream keeps up with tape for ease of use, even though it's a $6000 DAC! Still doing research on tapes - found this interesting information on pre-recorded (consumer) tapes. Quote: On Feb 23, 2008, at 3:43 AM, Tom Fine wrote: The craziest thing in all of this is, mass-duped tapes generally are TERRIBLE, I mean awful. If you understand anything about how they were made, you'd understand why they generally sound terrible. A few specifics: 1. 4x to 8x and later 16x duplication speeds. Generally on Ampex 3200-type transports, which were hardly stable at 60IPS or later 120IPS. 2. duper masters generally made by low-skill personnel from many- generations-removed copies sent to the duper plants. The duper plants would get a 15IPS safety (second generation from master, which could be a generation or more from the session tapes, particularly in the multi-track era), it would be a safety that close to the master if they were lucky because one common practice was the keep the safety at a studio and run series of duper masters from it for popular titles. Then this 15IPS tape would be reduced and combined to make a 4-track usually 7.5IPS dupe master. If someone decided to make a 15IPS dupe master that meant the duper's playback transport would be running twice as fast as the record transports, adding still more variables to the system. This all got even worse with 8-track carts and 3.75IPS duped reels. Those formats are such dog-doo, I won't even discuss them. 3. the tape stock used by dupers varied and was usually lousy. By the mid to late 60's, Ampex in Illinois was the biggest duper. I think even then RCA and CBS did their own duping (generally with better results). Ampex used their own tape, which is notoriously bad. They never perfected slitting so the tape "country lanes" and at high speed duping that leads to severe azimuth instability. Plus, the Ampex tape is notorious for warping, so most of those 40+ year-old tapes on eBay are badly curled or warped and full of left-channel dropouts. Any acetate tape will warp with the way most of these were stored by consumers, so I probably shouldn't single out Ampex. 4. Azimuth varies widely from tape to tape and even on parts of the same reel (and sometimes different sides of the same reel since some dupers used different record heads for each side of a quarter-track reel -- the heads were offset and would run at the same time but early 3200 systems didn't accomodate 4 tracks on one record head). Unless you check azimuth with a scope for each side of each tape (sometimes difficult since of course there are no alignment tones on these tapes), you're only somewhere in the neighborhood (and often outside the ballpark). 5. maintenance of the duper equipment varied from day to day, line to line and worker to worker. Sometimes there's hum in a channel. Sometimes level is all wrong. Sometimes channels are reversed. And remember that this junk sold at a premium to LPs. 6. finally, the hiss and wow/flutter level on most duped tapes I've heard is unacceptable. Unless you like digital artifacts better than hiss, there is no digifilter that satisfactorally cleans this up. I don't even think something like Plangent that locks to bias would help since the wow and flutter could date back any generation between the studio tapes and the duped tape and the bias recovered would only be the duper bias on the final duped tape. Meanwhile, in contrast, a properly done LP was mastered right from the master tape and if it was mastered and pressed properly, it is much closer to the source than a duped reel. Also, I should mention that some dupers were better than others. Ampex was particularly bad in my experience. So was Bel-Canto. And early 2-track duped tapes are a whole other matter and often sound better than the early stereo LPs, if you can find one that's not completely worn out from age nowadays. Maybe I should bring some of my "found" tapes for you. The dates on them start in the late '50s and work through to early '70s. Though very few are original, and some originals have even been recorded over! I just got back from the "Tape fest". My first impression of the tapes that I listened to was that the music had a rounded off sound. It is hard for me to explain, maybe it doesn't sound as harsh as digital, softer around the edges?? I did notice that there was a small loss of the very high end of treble, maybe just the source material? I don't know if reel to reel is for me, mostly for the fact of the unavailability of music that I like to listen to. It sure is dynamic though.The ride home was interesting also, 80 miles in a downpour will keep you on your toes! As with everything, good gear will always pull you through. I'm glad you had a safe ride home, Donnie. I was worried about you since even my drive home (about twice the distance) had a couple "pucker" moments when I did standing water on the highway, in high winds. I heard some good tapes at Steve's. We shared a couple of our finds. I thought it interesting that you said the highs sounded rolled off, because when I first listened to Steve's tapes (different tapes from last night) I thought they sounded a bit boosted and edgy on the high end, and just figured that was the tapes. I think Steve is still on the learning curve with setup and adjustment. I thought it was neat that he was using the Otari 12 input as a preamp - I think that may have added some weight and density to the music, but rolled off those highs as you were saying. I think still, what really wins me over is the lack of smearing and jitter of analog. There is just something about tapes that transcends what digital can do. Granted, I've still not put the DirectStream up against my tape player with good master tapes; I think that will be the final showdown for me. Also, knowing Steve, I'm betting that as he works out what he likes and doesn't like with tape, he'll start building tape preamps to get the decks where he wants them to be - to have that detail and density that makes tape so magical. Lastly, one thing that Steve mentioned that I'm finally getting through my head - Tapes aren't every day listening, they are "special occasion" listening. Steve said like having a 20 year Scotch rather than your usual. This, and the fact that I swear that the copy of a tape Steve set me up with sounded *better* than the original(!) - I still think tape has it's place, I just need to let myself accept how and what that is. I'm even tempted to dump a DSD to tape and see if that helps bring the density to life that DSD is missing compared to tape. Sorry, rambling again. Steve and I talked into the night, theorized, and bounced ideas off each other. I have so much I'm still digesting and incorporating into my "audio world view" after last night. I need to find some blank tapes and run some experiments of my own! LR,Yep, the wind was, shall we say, challenging! The run from Morton and Lincoln was hairy. My refusal to slow down to under 80 was part of the problem. I passed everyone and hit every raindrop.While the tape sounds wonderful, until I can buy something that I would normally listen to, I'm out.While I appreciate great sound, my main focus is listening to music, songs that I love.

Donnie, I'm glad you made it safe and sound. My last trip to and from Texas in August '13 I spent a few hours in fierce thunderstorms with high wind and though I wasn't going as fast as you most of the time, it was a bit hairy. But danger is exciting, something motorcyclists know. I'm with you: there's little on tape I want to listen to at any reasonable price. And I don't want to have 'special listening' sessions, I want to listen to music I love and I want it all to sound good when I do. I've got that with my lps and cds and my system and I do thank the universe for it every day. I ran out of time in my previous post, I also wanted to say a big Thanks! to Steve and Devon for being excellent hosts as usual. We were comfortable and well fed. :) I have to say, after Donnie and Deuce split, Steve and I just started throwing out theories and thoughts about sound, rooms, speakers, tape, digital - basically everything that what we do revolves around. It was a really great chat, and I wish I had more time and wasn't so tired...I could have talked all night, it was such a great vibe and transfer of thoughts. Thanks again, Steve. I look forward to the next mini-event should you decide to go down that path. Yes it was fun and educational. Everything sounded great. I have had my R2R for a while but don't really have any master tapes. I have a few I have created from records and CDs but this was a first time really listening to master tapes. It is just cool looking when you sit in the sweet spot, see the two Otari R2R sitting on each side next to the speakers with the rack of toys in the middle, and the Mystery amp glowing at you. Steve had the DM947 hooked up for speakers. They sounded really good. At one point I actually got up to see if they were playing. They had such a huge sound stage I though Steve hooked up the electrostats when I was not looking. The soundstage and dynamics of tape is something you just need to hear for yourself. You could pin point each instrument and player. The one that stood out for me was a musician playing the xylophone. I could physicaly see him moving his hands side to side in front of me hitting each bar with his mallets. Just something you need to hear.

Tuesday, August 04, 2009 Microsoft and Yahoo have reached a deal. Despite all the jargons used, the center of the deal is as the follows. Yahoo will hire Microsoft (through the Search Engine Bing) to run the Yahoo search by rewarding Microsoft 12% of its annual searching revenue. In return, Yahoo saves the cost of operating an independent division of Web search. After the deal was announced, the stock market and the technology blogsphere generally questioned Yahoo's decision. Shares of Yahoo dropped 11% after the deal was announced. Jason Calacanis wrote a thoughtful article criticizing why Yahoo had made another mistake. In general I lean to Jason's main point when the lesson is told to the new startup entrepreneurs. On the other hand, however, I have a few different thoughts on this deal that I believe worth of sharing. 1) Yahoo, not a definite loser but a chance to be reborn I admire Carol Bartz. She is definitely smart and courageous, probably more than many of us think she is. In Chinese, there is an idiom called 壮士断腕. Translate it straightforwardly: a brave man (or woman) is willing to cut his (or her) own wrist to save himself (or herself). Yes, it is painful or deadly-like to cut the wrist by oneself. If the cut is the only chance to save his (or her) own life, however, a brave man (or woman) will execute the action without a hesitate. Carol Bartz is such a brave woman. It is pitiful. But the truth is that there have been no other chances left for Yahoo to be able to be reborn by not cutting its own wrist, i.e., the once-glorious Yahoo Search. In his article, Calacanis made very good points on why the business of Web search was too important and too valuable to abandon. Don't make me wrong. I agree to Jason. The difference between us two is that I believe Yahoo was unable to adopt this suggestion, though in the heart it was very much willing to do so. Be realistic. Yahoo has already lost the war of Web search. Yes, to admit being a loser is painful. But not to admit the lost is more than stupid. There has been no future for Yahoo in the domain of Web search. Why? A simple reason I have repeatedly talked in this blog: you cannot defeat Google by executing in the Google way! Yahoo is not able to invent a new schema of Web search beyond the framework Google has invented. SearchMonkey and BOSS caused a few buzz. Although being highly expected, time has proved that both the technologies are still too immature to make serious threat to Google. Moreover, for years Yahoo has developed itself a gigantic base of domains to run. Its scale can no longer sustain by keeping itself in this lost-already battlefield. The only future of Yahoo is---cut the wrist to seek for another chance of reborn. There is a key consequence of this deal that is barely mentioned until now. By giving up the Web search to Microsoft, Yahoo no longer is a Web portal, but to become a pure online data resource producer and possibly a growing major online service producer. This is probably the most critical strategic decision Bartz has made. Why is it important? Three reasons are listed in the following. Ironically, the existence of the Yahoo search consistently pulls Yahoo back to the old age, the age prior to Web 2.0. Yes, in recent years Yahoo search has invented quite a few new technologies. Among the big three (Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft) Yahoo is the one most willing to embrace the new Semantic Web technology. And so on. But all of these changes in Yahoo are tactical in contrast to strategic. The main frame of Yahoo is consistently being a major (or even the) entry point of World Wide Web, which indeed has become nothing but an illusion by the rise of Web 2.0. The sad thing of Yahoo is, however, that the illusion is ineluctable as long as Yahoo search still exists since it has become a company culture despite all the changes happen outside. Finally, Yahoo search is gone, disappeared, in the wind. Although the link remains, it is now driven by Microsoft. In the other words, even if there were still an entry point to the Web, now it is Microsoft instead of Yahoo that holds the guidance. An old chapter of Yahoo finally ends. b) By starting a fresh new chapter, Yahoo has great chances to win back its old-time glory. Don't be confused. Yahoo has never been lack of innovation in new technology. This is a key distinction between Yahoo and some other losers, such as AOL. Jerry Yang is consistently a great visionary, probably often too ahead of the time, however. Yahoo engineers are superior too. The invention of SearchMonkey and BOSS (and many others) continuously proves so. The real problem is as we just discussed, Yahoo is trapped into an unrealistic illusion that may eventually lead itself to nothing but collapse. By cutting the wrist, however, Carol Bartz forces Yahoo to wake up from the illusion. The surgery is so painful that Yahoo can dream no longer. Once it truly wakes up, however, I bet the future of this innovative company. c) In the new chapter Yahoo may become a great online producer of linked data, and thus eventually leads the technological innovation again. Producing easy-to-link and feasible-for-search data is becoming a new realm of business. Soon it can grow to be as large as the domain of search or even greater. Linked data, especially when linked data is going to be integrated into the social networks, will release tremendous power on wealth production. Essentially, it will weave scattered individual intelligence into the aggregated engines of intelligent production. Because of human creativity, we may aggregate the linked intelligence in ideally unlimited ways. Therefore, a tremendous force of new-age jobs is assembling. By leaving the lost battlefield of Web search, now Yahoo has a chance to write a fresh new page in history, especially when Yahoo has already been one of the biggest (or probably the biggest) online data resource producer for long time. From the beginning, Yahoo addresses itself a data producer in contrast to Google positions itself a link producer. This essential difference failed Yahoo in the battle against Google. This same difference, however, may eventually save Yahoo from the lost and re-rise being stronger. I believe Carol Bartz had visioned it and I wish her all the best in the journey she will lead Yahoo into the future. If Jerry Yang was the father so that Yahoo was born, I wish Carol Bartz be the mother through whom Yahoo would be reborn! This Microsoft-Yahoo deal is an important moment in the evolution of World Wide Web. In the part 2 and part 3 of the post, I will continue my thoughts on this deal, but on the chapters of the other two companies involved---Microsoft and Google.

James O'Keefe is a cockroach that just keeps coming back and back and back again. He held a press conference today to show off his new undercover videos exposing the Clinton campaign to corruption charges, but all he did was look like a major league jerkoff. My question is when will the press finally stop slobbering over conservative con artists? They make themselves out to be fools as well. Professional troll James O’Keefe has been teasing journalists for weeks about an undercover operation that could take down Hillary Clinton — I’ve received four “email blasts” from O’Keefe’s Project Veritas about these videos in the past 48 hours alone — so I was surprised to learn that the “trickle-down corruption” he’d come to expose amounted to a Project Veritas operative buying a few Hillary-themed t-shirts for a Canadian. You read that right — O’Keefe’s own operative captured herself, on camera, illegally purchasing the shirts on behalf of a Canadian and this, O’Keefe claimed, demonstrates the criminal mendacity of the Clinton campaign. Moreover, Compliance Manager Erin Tibe is actually shown on the video refusing to allow the Canadian woman — who O’Keefe insisted at the press conference that he didn’t know, and whose identity is still a mystery to him — to make the purchase. It’s the Project Veritas operative who says, “but she traveled all the way from Canada to support Hillary, you could give her, she’s paying cash.” What fools, the lot of them.

Poker Goodies After playing some live cards (not poker) tonight, I decided to play a little on Stars…a win here and there, but mostly 2nd or 3rd place finishes…enough to still keep me loser…oh well…satisfied with my play, in “must win” situation, especially three handed I ran into some bad luck I would say, if I have ATs on the button and the BB wakes up with AKo the hand plays itself automatically…oh well…enjoy the short pic dump… Oh, before I forget it: for all the rush players who happen to be PT3 users as well, check out the newest beta which was just released, it supports rush now…the end of “no data” rush as we knew it…enjoy… After yesterday’s rants and playing well after I should have stopped – yes I even played again after the rant post – I was back calm and collected at the tables at Stars. Pretty uneventful, although I gotta say it’s a good feeling when you can finally have a hand hold up in crucial pots (and or win a flip in that spot) when playing turbo SnGs. Played four of them (6max, turbo, $12+1), won 2 and finished 2nd in another. Nice. Apart from that I played one turbo DS to the sunday million, no dice again. Not much more I gotta tell you atm, except that it’s a good feeling to finally note down a winning session, albeit a short one, but who cares…enjoy the random pic dump and I’m outta here (the first 9 snaps are from yesterday, the rest from today, pt graph only showing the 4 SnGs, not the DS…time I figured out how to filter properly in PT3 I guess…hints on how to filter something like “last x tournaments” would be appreciated)… Fucking cunts. What a lovely way to start off a post, get it out of your system. Yes! After today’s FTP disaster I went back old school on Stars playing one turbo DS to the sunday million (11.7$) and one shorthanded DS to the sunday million (8.8$). What happens in both, I get donkkicked. Situation one: We started out with a table of nine. After around 90hands, we’re down to three and I’m the chipleader. Wheeee. Then the shorty (2.8k with 300/600 blinds) goes all-in from the button. I look down at 77 in the BB and after the SB folds I instacall. He shows 67 s0000ted. Flop gives him a straight draw which completes on the turn leaving me with 3 outs to a fucking chop (6). Of course the river bricks and the donktard doubles up and I’m left with around 2.4k instead of being headsup with a 7 to 5 chip lead. Fast forward to my next BB. I look at AQ s0000ted. SB shoves I instacall. He shows KQo (see below). K on the turn and I’m busto. Thumbs up stars, you’ve monkeyfucked me in a crucial pot for the 1 trillionth time. As you see, 3 outs are gold. Weird though that everytime I find myself in a 3 outer spot, well, let’s just say I hit it about average. My opponents though hit a grand-slam homerun every single time it’s a crucial pot. How come? In the 6 max one, I’m at the final table. About five hands in, a trend is forming. One player keeps overshoving the pot. I guess it’s part of his/her strategy as 6th place pays 0, so chances are slim someone is calling without the nuts. Wrong. Once the donktard shoves from the SB over my button raise, I basically instacall with my nines. AQ s0000000ted is my opponent. Flop flush draw…turn blank…river ace…cya. Nice! Now, losing a flip shouldn’t throw me over the edge and after that flop it would have been foolish to believe my hand could ever hope up, but still I’m fed up with this shit. Everytime I flip for a small amount in a dumb pot, I win. Everytime I flip for a crucial pot, I lose. Believe me, this is probably just the tilted analysis, but I’m going to check all my stats in PT3 for sure and I’m willing to lay 2:1 that my 50% looks more like 30% over all the hands I’ve played….(chips/money wise, not win/lose)…I’ll get back to you about that…anyway…I’m outta here… Mood: Steam-tilt; thinking about quitting online poker for good – just one of these days, I guess… Well, well, good job FTP…or should I say good job Ingoal? No matter what, after four days of playing rush on FTP (after reloading), I’m officially busto again. Rush – the quickest way to evaporate your bankroll! (TM) Teeeheee mofos! I could go on about the cooler here and the cooler there, but what use is it? It’s tough to stay sane if you run into bs after bs…add to that, that it’s sometimes so hard not to overcommit when everyone is on crack and what are the chances someone has a higher pair than your JJ and QQ when it folds around to you – hint: not all that high…in rush it feels like 97,5%… …and quicker than you can say “get the fuck out of here”, you’ve got one hell of a bad run that is unprecedented. All in all it took me 4.129 hands to go busto, should have been busto before that, but after getting aces cracked left and right I was able to crack ’em myself, just in time to give me a few extra hands…hehe…anyway…hawesome how I kept away from FTP exactly for that bs as I couldn’t catch a break, no I run back to the poker crack dealer and they got exactly what I need…getting kicked in the junk four times as much per hour….nice. I’m feeling kind of numb right now…so I’ll let you enjoy the final rush pic dump and I’m outta here…not to return to FTP for at least the next 1.5 years…or maybe I should make it 3 as the first 1.5 years obviously didn’t do any good… Those were the players I was up against today, soul crushers. I started off with a quick session winning around 1.5 buyins. Then later today I came back for a longer session and they really crushed my soul. The old overpair vs overpair I can take, but what’s a lot harder to take is being river over and over and over and over. How can ppl honestly call preflop, on the flop and on the turn with air and hit their fucking river like 80% of the time? Two outer? No problem. 4 outer – no problem. 3 outer – no problem. 6 outer – why do you even ask if a 2 outer is no problem, go ahead monkeyshove, the dealer will peel it off for you. What adds fuel to the internal steam-producing fire is the fact that you can’t get any fucking action on your big hands, at least on most of them. How come I get aces 4 times, and get no action whatsoever on two of them? How come on the other hand everytime I get kings I get monsteraction and usually end up getting junkkicked so hard, I could scream from the pain? Wtf is going on here? Full Donk Poker? Hidden camera show? Wtf! In the end it got so frustrating that I did something I rarely if ever do…I donkshoved my last stacks in when I just knew that my opponent had sucked out…again. Disappointing. Anyway, enough of the rant, I’m outta here. Utterly frutstrated, mad and tilted, which seems to be the norm these days. Happy fucking day to y’all… Only a short session today playing two rush tables at once. Took some beats (one of the nastiest was KK vs AA on a AKQ board…yikes…), put some beats on other ppl…all in all I’m really satisfied with my play today. Could be a normal up-swing, could be the adjustments I made, too early to tell after ~500 hands, we’ll see how it goes over the next few days/weeks…until then…enjoy the pic dump…I’m outta here… Hehehe…just goes to show you how good natured I really am, I can still laugh after dropping 10Buyins. After 1,5 years of abstinence at Full Tilt, I decided to jump back in, because of the newest hype “Rush”. The concept has been widely discussed, so I’m assuming you know what I’m talking about. I played around 5 hours of Rush so far and I’m really frustrated. I can’t get action on my big hands, if I do I got the second nuts running into the nuts, and I think I gave to much action on different occasions, when in reality it was totally unnecessary. Side effect of the constant action? Gambling mood? I think both are true to some extent and the fact that I’m usually a (turbo) SnG player doesn’t translate that well to cash… Early lessons after analyzing the first 1.5k hands played: 1. It’s not worth defending the BB unless you’ve got a monster. 2. It’s not worth defending the SB either. 3. LP/Button – constantly raise, most ppl can’t be bothered to defend (see 1. and 2.) and if they do, they usually have a monster 4. Don’t be afraid to take a break every now and then – I usually only take a break after 2hours or something, but you gotta consider that I played around 300h per hour playing rush. That’s way above the usual hands/hour I play in any other game. 5. JackAce is the shiznuts. Got it 16 times, won 14 out of 16..lol…biggest winner ranked by Amount Won. 6. AQ and TT are the cash game devil…cost me a good 40 bucks running into AK, a small set or some random bs (Kx, etc)… 7. Don’t be afraid to pot, pot, pot it if you’ve got a monster…ppl are willing to fold for small bets just as they’re willing to call big if they’ve got a piece of it…and if they don’t they’ll fold anyway as the next hand is just 1s away…. I’m outta here…time to regroup and relax a little…no more poker today… Well, well, well…good job PS, good job. Reel me in with a reload bonus, then continue to torture me…really nice. All in all the only thing I’m satisfied with tonight is my play, with one exception (TPNK no gold against a set, crippled myself), and the fact that I quit after only 4 matches including 3 junk kicks. All in all I got one second (which should have been a first), 3 outered on the bubble and junk kicked with AA vs KK on a J high flop, while self-destructing in one (see above). Oh well…FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! Now that I got that out of my system, I want to take the chance to talk about a novelty I just thought of. This year, there’s been only one new element to my blogs so far – the pt graph of the results. I want to introduce another one, which will hopefully be a little more polished in the days/weeks to come. All the regulars, grinders, the fonkeys (fucking donkeys) and even the fonkdishes (donk fishes) know the feeling after playing. You take down a tourney or score nicely and you’re elated or you’ve just been kicked in the junk feeling like an NFL-kicker did the kicking…and everything that lies between that…and while you can sometimes read about that or deduct it from the way a post is written, you rarely see a clear “indicator” of the mood or state of mind the person was in. That’s why I thought about making that transparent (and maybe even a little funny). I won’t call it Tiltmeter, as that would imply that I expect to end up in some kind of tilt after any given session – which, tbh has been the case more often than not lately, but I don’t want it to be. So I’ll think of a better name and if I can find the time I’ll even make a few icons and/or a scale (with a legend explaining the different “moods”) for it…until then I’ll just write it down and put it before the “legendary” pic dump aka “random junk kick mixed with some winning hands” brought to you by ps… Mood: Pre-tiltPre-tilt: Feeling sick after getting one too many junk-kicks, but still positive about a) realizing that tilt is only one beat away b) getting the hell out of dodge after realizing a) Well, a little bit frustrated about the result tonight…play a grand total of 23 SnGs including 6max, HU and 4player HU (winner takes all). I got kicked in the junk more than I was kicking back…really fugly when people call your all-in on a double-paired board with a ten high flush draw with one card to come…of course they hit…happens…oh well…I’m outta here…some relaxing and a good night’s sleep and I’ll be back… Yet another even shorter session in the books. Went 3 for 5 in headsup matches. Bla…I guess I’ll grind out some more once the weekend rolls around…time to start earning some more Points towards the Stellar Rewards thingy and my 2010 deposit bonus…

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on President Donald Trump and border security (all times local): 4:50 p.m. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler is calling for a hearing "in the coming days" on President Donald Trump's declaration of a national emergency. In a letter to Trump Friday, Nadler and other members of the Judiciary panel express their "alarm" over the proclamation, an effort to get more money for a U.S.-Mexico border wall. Nadler says his committee will investigate the "serious constitutional and statutory issues" the declaration raises and is asking White House and Justice Department officials to appear at a hearing. He says the decision shows "reckless disregard for the separation of powers and your own responsibilities under our constitutional system." Trump said Friday he would declare the emergency in an effort to bypass Congress, which would not give him full funding for his wall. __ 2:50 p.m. The American Civil Liberties Union says it will file a lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump's emergency declaration to fund a wall on the U.S.-Mexican border. The Friday announcement came hours after Trump signed the declaration and said he expected legal challenges. The civil rights group will argue that Trump's use of emergency powers is unprecedented and can't be used to build a border wall. ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero says the declaration is 'patently illegal.' Their legal action would be separate from anything Congress may do. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (puh-LOH'-see) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer have also raised the possibility of legal action. They say Trump's decision would "shred the Constitution" by usurping Congress' power to control spending. White House officials say some of the money would come from military construction projects. __ 2:33 p.m. President Donald Trump has signed legislation to avert another government shutdown and pay for limited fencing along the U.S.-Mexico border. Press secretary Sarah Sanders says Trump signed the bill at the White House on Friday. The legislation gives Trump 55 additional miles of border fencing, well short of the 200-plus miles he wanted. The legislation also keeps parts of the government from shutting down at midnight Friday by providing $333 billion to finance several Cabinet agencies through September. Trump on Friday declared a national emergency at the southern border and is using his executive authority to tap billions of other government funds to build the wall. __ 11:25 a.m. Congress' two top Democrats say they'll use "every remedy available" to oppose President Donald Trump's declaration of an emergency to shift billions of federal dollars into building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (puh-LOH'-see) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Friday they'll take action "in the Congress, in the Courts, and in the public." They say Trump's decision to declare an emergency is unlawful. They say it would "shred the Constitution" by usurping Congress' power to control spending. White House officials say some of the money would come from military construction projects. Pelosi and Schumer say Trump would be using money needed "for the security of our military and our nation." Democrats can file lawsuits and force congressional votes to block Trump's money transfers. Trump could veto the legislation should it pass. Trump says he expects legal challenges. ___ 11:20 a.m. President Donald Trump says he expects legal challenges to his decision to declare a national emergency to erect barriers between the U.S. and Mexico but says he'll be vindicated. Trump announced Friday that he has signed the appropriate paperwork to declare an emergency on the border so he can build a wall. In a sing-songy tone of voice, Trump then described how the decision will be challenged and work its way through the courts, including up to the U.S. Supreme Court. Critics have accused Trump of abusing his authority. Trump says he shouldn't be sued but predicts "we will be very successful in court." He adds: "Sadly, we'll be sued and sadly it will go through a process and happily we'll win." ___ 11:15 a.m. President Donald Trump says he needs to use emergency powers to protect the United States from drug dealers and immigrants in the nation illegally. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders tweeted a photo of Trump signing the declaration Friday in the moments before his scattershot Rose Garden news conference. Trump told stories of horrific abuse of women being smuggled across the U.S.-Mexico border but didn't provide any evidence. He also said the border wall would be needed to battle drug cartels as part of a "virtual invasion" from Mexico. The president declared a national emergency and would find other funds for the wall after expressing unhappiness about a congressional border security deal. Families of people killed by immigrants in the United States illegally attended the news conference. Trump's plans have been criticized on Capitol Hill. ___ 11:10 a.m. President Donald Trump says many other presidents have declared national emergencies. But the presidents he has cited did not use emergency powers to pay for projects that Congress wouldn't support. Emergency declarations by former presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton were overwhelmingly for the purpose of addressing crises that emerged abroad. Many blocked foreign interests or terrorist-linked entities from access to funds. Some prohibited certain imports from or investments to countries associated with human rights abuses. A list compiled by the Brennan Center says Clinton declared 17 national emergencies, Bush 13 and Obama 12. Trump said Friday he will use executive powers to bypass Congress, which approved far less money for border barriers than he had sought. Trump plans to siphon billions of dollars from federal military construction and counterdrug efforts for his long-promised U.S.-Mexico border wall. The move has drawn criticism on Capitol Hill and is expected to face rounds of legal challenges. ___ 10:55 a.m. President Donald Trump says he'll be declaring a national emergency so he can build a southern border wall. Trump did not say on Friday when he would make such a declaration, but the move will allow him to bypass Congress to spend more money to erect barriers on the U.S.-Mexico border. Congress has given Trump about $1.4 billion for border barriers, well below the $5.7 billion Trump has insisted he needed to build a wall. To get around Congress, Trump plans to use his executive authority to tap other sources of funding to get a total of $8 billion to build the wall. The White House says Trump plans to tap accounts in the Treasury and Defense departments, but not money earmarked for disaster relief. Trump's move is expected to prompt lawsuits and challenges in Congress. ___ 10:50 a.m. Add the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to the groups opposing a national emergency declaration by President Donald Trump to free up budget funds to build his Southwest border wall. The business organization's stance is not a total surprise. It's opposed Trump administration efforts to restrict legal immigration and to make it harder for young "Dreamer" immigrants to stay in the U.S. Still, the chamber usually leans Republican. Its opposition Friday is the latest example of how word of an emergency declaration is splitting the GOP and its constituencies. Trump plans to sign bipartisan legislation providing nearly $1.4 billion to build border barriers, but that fell short of the $5.7 billion he wanted. Trump is expected to invoke executive powers to access another $6.6 billion. He says he'll sign a national emergency. That's expected to prompt lawsuits and challenges in Congress. ___ 10:35 a.m. President Donald Trump plans to spend about $8 billion on border barriers, far more than Congress has given him for that purpose. Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney says Trump will tap various other sources of money beyond the nearly $1.4 billion in a government funding bill that Congress passed. Trump is expected to sign the bill. Besides the money from Congress, Mulvaney said Friday that Trump plans to spend $600 million in Treasury forfeiture funds and $2.5 billion in Defense Department counterdrug money. Trump is also tapping about $3.6 billion worth of funds set aside for military construction projects. Mulvaney says Trump is not tapping disaster relief money designated to help Texas and Puerto Rico following recent devastating hurricanes. Trump's moves are expected to prompt lawsuits and challenges in Congress. ___ 12:45 a.m. Congress has lopsidedly approved a border security compromise that would avert a second painful government shutdown. But a new confrontation has been ignited. President Donald Trump's plan to bypass lawmakers and declare a national emergency to siphon billions from other federal coffers for his wall on the Mexican boundary is certain to be challenged. Money in the bill for border barriers, about $1.4 billion, is far below the $5.7 billion Trump insisted he needed and would finance just a quarter of the 200-plus miles he wanted. The White House said he'd sign the legislation passed Thursday but act unilaterally to get more. That prompted condemnations from Democrats and threats of lawsuits from states and others who might lose federal money or said Trump was abusing his authority.

Q: mysql multiple column sorting order I have 1 table with 6 columns all are tinyint with 1 digit. I need a query to return the data sorted (ordered) desc in each column. example: col1 col2 col3 1 2 5 1 7 3 2 3 7 expected result: 2 7 7 1 3 5 1 2 3 I tried order by col1, col2 DESC but it only affects the first column (maybe because it's from the same table?) thx, Danny A: I am assuming that you are getting the data from the same table, which is what's causing you the problem, because, when saying orderby, the db engine assumes that the row data is consistent and should not be split, so it orders only with the first selector, which is col1 in your case. the solution is, to acquire each column by it's own, ordered, in a separate query, and then, you'll get your result. so, you will end up, in the simple way of doing it, with three queries: select col1 from table orderby col1 desc; select col2 from table orderby col2 desc; and so on

In light of recent news that another potential takeover has fallen through, let's take a look at the official statement released by the club and try to make sense of it. Described as an 'update for fans' (oh, cheers lads, nice to be considered) the official club statement reads thusly: Recently, we informed supporters that discussions were taking place with parties who had expressed an interest in acquiring ownership of Sunderland AFC. Subsequently, more detailed talks were held over the last week with one of these groups. Ellis Short and the board were committed to ascertain if this group was better placed to take the club forward in the right way and to improve it, both on and off the pitch. A defined timeframe was placed on discussions to ensure that the club could move forward quickly and decisively with its plans for the new season should they not come to fruition. We have concluded these talks and have determined that this proposed sale would not be in the best interests of Sunderland AFC. Ellis Short will continue his commitment to the club, both financially and personally, moving forward. We would like to thank our supporters for their patience during what we know has been a period of uncertainty and frustration for them. Now. I know I'm not the only one that's been hearing about the club's “best interests” in recent years and I'm eager to ask the question: what are they, exactly? On the surface it would seem rather obvious what the best interests of a club like Sunderland would be: good transfer business, a clear and progressive marketing system, securing the services of both long-term management and staff; a solid, viable plan to stabilise club finances and take us back to the upper rungs of elite Football. These all spring to mind instantly but as we know things are never as simple they seem, to our eternal dismay. Consider for a moment that Ellis Short has been trying his utmost to escape the ship he sunk for some time now. He has stated his intentions, even put the club in an upmarket brochure for potential investors, like some vacation adventure for the filthy rich and bored. On the cusp of completing the sale he sanctions another: the sale of our most valuable asset in Jordan Pickford, a player that neither needed to leave nor helped us by doing so. There's another thirty million checked off the big Sunderland I.O.U that the Texan keeps tucked in the weathered leather of his buckskin boots. Transfer kitty? Don't be daft. He's consolidating his money before he moves on and he doesn't mind stripping the club bare to do it. The Sunderland hierarchy can hide behind their faceless corporate agenda all they like, it changes nothing. We aren't stupid enough to believe that a man who has singularly failed to provide reassurance, stability and belief at any point in five years of ownership, is the man that has our best interests at heart. It's alleged that terms were agreed. This means the financial aspect of it, i.e. the cheque with all those zeroes on it that is placed right in Short's unsteady hands, was already a foregone conclusion. This means that, monetarily speaking, Short should have been compensated adequately for his misguided venture and was comfortable with that sum, whatever it may be. So what are we to believe? That he changed his mind? Come the eleventh hour, was it the amateur illusionist Bain the Incalculating, in yet another attempt at working his fabled magic, that pulled the tablecloth from beneath the dinner service and spilled soup and garlic bread all over the contract? No? What's that you say? It was Ellis Short's love for the club that stayed his hand? Oh I see! So the man that has publicly recognised his own shortcomings as an owner, that has declared his intentions to leave for the benefit of everyone whilst ensuring return on his investment through his orders to streamline the club and capitalise on both relegation and the sale of our assets to do so, this man has decided that he now knows the best interests of Sunderland? We are to believe that his refusal to accept the motives of another owner are solely the result of his compassion for the club and his understanding of the needs of this institution, an institution he has displayed himself time and again incapable of steering in the right direction? So it's in the best interests of the club to continue under the stewardship of the man that spent as much money as Champions League competitors in the top flight and never finished above 13th, given half a dozen consecutive opportunities to do so? Oh, no worries there then, safe pair of hands. Pardon my sense but what a load of utter bollocks. So we can only imagine that something went very wrong that day in whatever conference room or hotel restaurant these people choose to conduct their business in. The most troubling aspect of this theory is that we, whose business it arguably is, have no knowledge of what that thing was. It was not in the “club's best interests” means whatever meaning you choose to give it: if I choose not to go to work and say 'It's not in my best interests' will that be useful information to the people I'm screwing over? If I can't be bothered to exercise because 'it's not in my best interests' does that make me any less lazy? So the lack of explanation becomes the crime here more than the act itself because you haven't bothered to tell the people who really care, what that crime was. We're back to square one with these amateur spin doctors, honestly. It's tiresome. The cheap slogans suit the cheap seats but guess what? Not one of those seats in the Stadium of Light are cheap! People scrimp and save to get those seats and the least they deserve for it is transparency, not the illusion of it. But we can't stop now because it gets better! The man that was leaving us because he couldn't stand the heat any more is staying because he has no choice, though he'll never respect us enough to tell us why. What sort of mug do you have to be to welcome the continued residence of such a man? This is like the dramatisation of a long and arduous divorce. Forced by circumstance and stubborn pride to live in the same house as one another in spite of the fact that you hiss across the room every time you see one another, and deliberately let their tyres down and lose their keys and call them a c*nt under your breath just as they close the door. He won't go because it's his and we won't go because it's ours. We're here until someone gets enough money and reason to fuck off elsewhere, and we all know it won't be us. The time to say goodbye has come and gone so spare me the lip service and the lies, stop your little magician from spouting his platitudes and either speak straight or don't speak at all. Ellis didn't sell the club because it wasn't in his best interests to do so. Don't be fooled for one moment in to thinking that he's qualified to decide what's in ours.

NMR determination of photorespiration in intact leaves using in vivo 13CO2 labeling. Solid-state 13C NMR measurements of intact soybean leaves labeled by 13CO2 lead to the conclusion that photorespiration is 17% of photosynthesis for a well-watered and fertilized plant. This is the first direct assessment of the level of photorespiration in a functioning plant. A 13C{31P} rotational-echo double-resonance (REDOR) measurement tracked the incorporation of 13C label into intermediates in the Calvin cycle as a function of time. For labeling times of 5 min or less, the isotopic enrichment of the Calvin cycle depends on the flux of labeled carbon from 13CO2, relative to the flux of unlabeled carbon from glycerate returned from the photorespiratory cycle. Comparisons of these two rates for a fixed value of the 13CO2 concentration indicate that the ratio of the rate of photosynthesis to the rate of photorespiration of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) in soybean leaves is 5.7. This translates into a photorespiratory CO2 loss that is 21% of net CO2 assimilation, about 80% of the value estimated from Rubisco kinetics parameters. The ratio of rates is reduced at low external CO2 concentrations, as measured by net carbon assimilation rates. The carbon assimilation was determined from 13C-label spin counts converted into total carbon by the REDOR-determined isotopic enrichments of the Calvin cycle. The net carbon assimilation rates indicate that the rate of decarboxylation of glycine is not directly proportional to the oxygenase activity of Rubisco as is commonly assumed.

1. Introduction {#sec1-micromachines-11-00129} =============== Oxide semiconductor devices based on the perovskite oxide films, whose properties can be controlled by magnetic field, electric field, and light irradiation, have attracted a great deal of interest. Experiments confirmed that manganite-based perovskite-type oxides have excellent ultraviolet (UV) photoresponse characteristics with ultrafast response-time of picosecond and high sensitivity, which makes this class of materials potentially useful for UV sensor applications \[[@B1-micromachines-11-00129],[@B2-micromachines-11-00129]\]. Furthermore, manganite heterojunctions offer the features of tunability by magnetic and electric fields, high-sensitivity to light illumination and high carrier mobility, suggesting many possible applications and research directions including information storage, optoelectronics information processing, and advanced sample preparation techniques associated with microstructure modulate research \[[@B3-micromachines-11-00129],[@B4-micromachines-11-00129],[@B5-micromachines-11-00129],[@B6-micromachines-11-00129],[@B7-micromachines-11-00129]\]. In addition, similar to many optical materials with chemical stability, manganite heterojunctions are insensitive to harsh physical environment such as fluctuations of temperature and pressure, suggesting a potential application of manganite heterojunction photodetectors in harsh environments for the need of oil and gas optics \[[@B8-micromachines-11-00129],[@B9-micromachines-11-00129],[@B10-micromachines-11-00129],[@B11-micromachines-11-00129],[@B12-micromachines-11-00129]\]. Integrating the perovskite-type transition metal oxides with the silicon (Si)-based semiconductor technology would also introduce the possibility for a multifunctional microelectronic device \[[@B13-micromachines-11-00129],[@B14-micromachines-11-00129],[@B15-micromachines-11-00129]\]. Si photodetectors have already found wide acceptance for visible light applications, while it has small absorption coefficient in near-infrared (NIR) wavelength range because of the cut off wavelength of \~1100 nm. Now most NIR photodetectors were composed of PbS, PbSe, or InGaAs. The toxic precursors, such as Pb, Se, and As, was usually used to synthesize these materials. It is a meaningful thing to find non-toxic and pollution-free material for photodetector working at NIR wavelength range. The infrared (IR) spectrum has become an important method to study the lattice distortion and been applied to investigate the photoconductive effect in perovskite manganese oxides, where mid-infrared or far-infrared spectra was used to explain the complex physical process in manganites such as the electronic transition, electron-phonon interaction, coupling between lattice, orbital, and spin, etc., \[[@B16-micromachines-11-00129],[@B17-micromachines-11-00129],[@B18-micromachines-11-00129],[@B19-micromachines-11-00129],[@B20-micromachines-11-00129],[@B21-micromachines-11-00129],[@B22-micromachines-11-00129]\]. In this paper the photocurrent response spectrum between 200 nm and 2 μm of the heterojunction La~0.67~Ca~0.33~MnO~3~/Si (LCMO/Si) is reported. The temperature dependence of the photocurrent response of the sample was investigated to reveal more information related to the photoelectric response, and selective absorption peaks were observed. The mechanism about the results is also discussed in the paper. 2. Materials and Methods {#sec2-micromachines-11-00129} ======================== The LCMO/Si heterojunction was fabricated using the facing target sputtering technique. A 100 nm thickness LCMO layer was grown on a 0.5 mm thick n-type Si (001) wafer. The wafer temperature was kept at 680 °C with the oxygen pressure being 60 mTorr during deposition. Immediately after each deposition, the vacuum chamber was back-filled with 1 atm oxygen gas. The photocurrent of the sample was detected by the spectral response measurement system, as shown in [Figure 1](#micromachines-11-00129-f001){ref-type="fig"}. The system was designed to measure the UV and IR spectral responsivity characteristics of samples in low temperature environment. The operation was automatically controlled, and the system maintained good closure during the measurement process. The selected all-reflected-light-route system, UV, visible light or IR, can be switched automatically with maximum light path coupling efficiency. The diameter of the light spot was 3 mm. The light intensity was calibrated using the spectrum of a commercial UV-100L Si photodiode (from OSI Systems Inc., Hawthorne, CA, USA) and the spectral responsivity was measured by a monochromator. The LCMO/Si heterojunction for the photoelectric measurements was cut into 5 × 5 mm and two colloidal silver electrodes were prepared on the LCMO film and Si wafer. The sample was placed in an airtight holder with a quartz window and connected with the spectral response measurement system ([Figure 2](#micromachines-11-00129-f002){ref-type="fig"}a). The typical current-voltage curves of the LCMO/Si heterojunction, shown in [Figure 2](#micromachines-11-00129-f002){ref-type="fig"}b, were measured in the dark by tuning the applied voltage with a pulse-modulated voltage source at 300 and 60 K. The forward bias was defined as the current flowing from the upper LCMO layer to Si substrate. Thus the diodelike rectification characteristic can be ascribed to the presence of LCMO/Si interfacial potential because of the carrier diffusion. 3. Results and Discussions {#sec3-micromachines-11-00129} ========================== The junction resistance *R*~j~ in LCMO/Si junction was measured with the temperature. As shown in [Figure 3](#micromachines-11-00129-f003){ref-type="fig"}, *R*~j~ strongly depends on the bias, e.g., when the bias was turned from 20 μA to −20 μA *R*~j~ changed from 166.0 kΩ, 20.0 kΩ, and 15.1 kΩ to 178.1 kΩ, 98.2 kΩ, and 15.6 kΩ at 95 K, 202 K, and 300 K. In addition, taking the bias of 50 μA as an example, *R*~j~ decreased slightly from the beginning 95 K to 172 K and had a sharp change from 78 kΩ at 172 K to 8.2 kΩ at 216 K with a corresponding rate of 1.6 kΩ/K. Subsequently *R*~j~ maintained small change of about 0.01 kΩ/K till 300 K. [Figure 4](#micromachines-11-00129-f004){ref-type="fig"}a displays the photocurrent (*PI*) spectrum of the LCMO/Si junction under zero bias in the wavelength range of 200 nm \< *λ* \< 2200 nm. The junction's responsivity was spectrally uniform in the visible range, while five absorption peaks P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 were observed at *λ*~1~ = 1940 nm, *λ*~2~ = 1180 nm, *λ*~3~ = 1380 nm, *λ*~4~ = 1580 nm, and *λ*~5~ = 1900 nm wavelengths in each temperature because of the absorption characteristics of the LCMO/Si junction, and the peak value decreased with the increase of the wavelength. The temperature dependences of the photocurrent response *PI*^P^ at the five absorption wavelengths are shown in [Figure 4](#micromachines-11-00129-f004){ref-type="fig"}b. *PI*^P^ monotonically increased from 0.0065 A/W, 0.012 A/W, 0.0115 A/W, 0.004 A/W, and 0.002 A/W at 108 K to 0.0122 A/W, 0.017 A/W, 0.0155 A/W, 0.006 A/W, and 0.0025 A/W at a turning point of 216 K and then dropped 0.004 A/W, 0.005 A/W, 0.005 A/W, 0.002 A/W, and 0.001 A/W at 300 K for selected wavelengths of *λ*~1~, *λ*~2~, *λ*~3~, *λ*~4~, and *λ*~5~. Si cannot produce strong absorption features. Most of heterojunctions of manganite-based perovskite-type oxides exhibit the properties of p-n junction and quantum size effect can be produced when the thickness of the potential well material is about 50 nm thick. If quantum size effect occurs, the energy is quantized in the direction of the vertical interface, which will lead to the quantization of energy absorption in the material. Since a thin SiO~2~ layer of 3.6 nm thick exists in the LCMO/Si heterojunction \[[@B23-micromachines-11-00129]\], a quantum size effect was expected to occur. The interval of adjacent energy levels in an infinite quantum well is described as: where *m~n~* is the electron effective mass and *d~w~* is the quantum well width. Thus, (∆*E~n~*~,*n*+1~ − ∆*E~n~*~+1,*n*+2~) is independent on *n* and As for present five special wavelengths *λ*~n~ (n = 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5), and Here, the above two similar data suggested that the present model involving the quantum size effect was adopted as the mechanism of IR photocurrent in LCMO/Si. Noise performance is a critical factor for evaluating a detector. The noise current *I*~n~ is about 10^−4^ A/W in dark and is very low compared to the responsivity PI of the LCMO/Si junction when the light was on. The detectivity *D*\* is determined by the ratio of *PI* and *I*~n~, and *D*\* = *PI* (*fS*)^1/2^/*I*~n~, where *f* is the amplifier frequency bandwidth (500 MHz) and *S* is the detector area (\~7.065 mm^2^). Thus *D*\* is estimated to be about 2.38 × 10^3^ Hz^1/2^m, 2.97 × 10^3^ Hz^1/2^m, 2.97 × 10^3^ Hz^1/2^m, 1.19 × 10^3^ Hz^1/2^m, and 0.59 × 10^3^ Hz^1/2^m at 300 K for selected wavelengths of *λ*~1~, *λ*~2~, *λ*~3~, *λ*~4~, and *λ*~5~, suggesting that the LCMO/Si junction could be well-suited as an IR detector. Perovskite-type oxides detectors possess a number of significant characteristics, and are ideally suited to detect small changes in a relatively large background level of incident energy, which can be used over a large spectral bandwidth. Here it has been shown that a specific manganite heterojunction has the ability to be an IR detector since it can produce photocurrent in the IR regime. The devices have a number of important characteristics (low cost, low power, good performance, wide operating range of temperature, a high degree of environmental stability, and reliability) which make them ideal for a range of applications from consumer and commercial to military requirements. LCMO/Si junction is a new material for photodetector fabrication compared to traditional materials. It is anticipated that manganite heterojunction IR detectors will assume an ever growing importance in our society over the next few years. 4. Conclusions {#sec4-micromachines-11-00129} ============== In conclusion, we fabricated a manganite-based heterojunction by depositing a LCMO thin film on the Si substrate. The broad spectral photocurrent effect of the junction was systematically studied in a temperature range from 95 to 300 K. The responsivity of LCMO/Si heterojunction was spectrally uniform in the visible range. Five absorption peaks occurred at 940 nm, 1180 nm, 1380 nm, 1580 nm, and 1900 nm in the IR range, which is explained in terms of a quantum size effect model since an interface existed in the present photodetector. However, relative contributions from individual interface are still not clear and further studies is needed to clarify the *PI* mechanisms. We thank H. K. Wong and Y.C.

Cincinnati–Blue Ash Airport Blue Ash Airport , also known as Cincinnati–Blue Ash Airport, was a public airport located in Blue Ash, Ohio, United States, but owned by the City of Cincinnati. Located northeast of downtown Cincinnati, it served as a general aviation reliever for the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. Established in 1921, the airfield was one of the first in operation in the United States, and it became Ohio's first municipal airport when Cincinnati purchased it in 1946. For decades, it was eyed as a potential future site for Cincinnati's primary commercial airport, spurring construction of Cross County Highway, but efforts to develop the site repeatedly failed. In the 1970s, much of the property around the airfield was converted into an industrial park and golf course. Cincinnati eventually sold about half of the remaining airfield to the City of Blue Ash and permanently closed the facility on August 29, 2012, despite local efforts to keep it operational. In 2017, Cincinnati sold the remaining land and runway to Al. Neyer, which is building a mixed-use development on the site. Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, Blue Ash Airport was assigned I77 and later ISZ by the FAA but had no designation from the IATA. History Private ownership Blue Ash Airport's history began in 1921 with a dirt runway located off Cooper Road, in then-unincorporated Sycamore Township, on land that has since been converted into an industrial park. The first Cincinnati–Chicago airmail flight took off from this field. On August 5, 1922, it was dedicated as Grisard Field, after Cincinnati-area pilot Lt. John K. Grisard, who was shot down in France during World War I. The following year, the Grisard Field Company leased the field to Maj. Hugh Watson, a barnstormer and former Army flight instructor, and his brother Parks. They were joined by John Paul Riddle and, in 1924, T. Higbee Embry. The company owned two Curtiss JN-4 biplanes. In its early days, the airfield's grass runways served general aviation, airmail operations, and the 359th Army Reserve Observation Squadron. In 1925, the Grisard Company dissolved and moved its hangars and equipment to Lunken Field, then considered a more desirable location for its proximity to downtown Cincinnati. The reserve squadron moved there as well. Grisard Field was sold to the Watson brothers, who rededicated it as Watson Airport, with Eddie Rickenbacker in attendance. Hugh later moved to Lunken, leaving Parks in charge of the airport. After a year at Lunken, he returned to Blue Ash and built his own facility on the northern edge of the property, along Glendale Milford Road. By 1928, airlines were making scheduled flights to Cleveland and Louisville, Kentucky, from Watson. Failed expansion plans In 1938, after a major flood submerged Lunken Airport, Cincinnati city leaders began discussing a major expansion of the Blue Ash site in order to replace Lunken as the area's commercial airport. By this time, Watson was used primarily for training student pilots from local universities. The city purchased Parks Watson Airport in 1946 and Hugh Watson Field in 1955. The city headquartered Blue Ash Airport at the former Hugh Watson Field, keeping Parks Watson open for a time, and closed a shooting range that had operated on the property since the 1940s. The city's Blue Ash development plans were hampered by community opposition, three failed Hamilton County bond measures, political infighting, and Cincinnati's decision not to participate in the federal airfield program. While fog and flooding continued to cause frequent problems at Lunken, Northern Kentucky officials secured federal funds to build a competing airport at Hebron, in 1944. The Greater Cincinnati Airport (CVG) began serving commercial flights there two years later. Cincinnati officials maintained expansion plans for the Blue Ash site into the 1960s, hoping to compete with CVG. County officials drew up plans for a connector from the Mill Creek Expressway (Interstate 75) to the airport. However, the Blue Ash Civic League and nearby residents continued to oppose the expansion plans. Blue Ash incorporated, first as a village in 1955, then as a city in 1961, to take control of zoning matters and contain the airfield. By 1959, the county dropped plans for an airport connector and instead focused on building a more ambitious Cross County Highway. In 1960, the Internal Revenue Service selected the Cincinnati area for a new, five-state regional data center, prompting many area cities and townships to vie for the facility and its employees' income tax revenue. The following year, Blue Ash proposed to have Cincinnati donate part of the Blue Ash Airport site to the IRS, calling hopes for a major airport there "obsolete". For its part, Cincinnati had been pushing for a Queensgate location. Instead, Northern Kentucky officials again won out over their Ohio counterparts, securing a new facility in downtown Covington. Decline and closure With the Blue Ash Airport destined to remain a quaint general aviation facility, the City of Cincinnati began to seek other uses for the undeveloped portions of the tract. The non-profit Community Improvement Corporation, initially led by Reed Hartman, carved out a well-landscaped CIC Industrial Park at the former Parks Watson Airport to the east and, in 1979, the 18-hole Blue Ash Golf Course to the west. In 1977, Cincinnati finally replaced the grass runways with a paved runway and taxiways, the city's last major infrastructure improvements to the airport. In 2006, after years of negotiations, the City of Blue Ash purchased of the airfield, including all the hangars and taxiways, from the City of Cincinnati for $37.5 million over 30 years. Because the Federal Aviation Administration had been subsidizing airport maintenance, Cincinnati was originally required to spend all proceeds towards aviation-related expenses, but the city had hoped to use $11 million for the construction of a revived streetcar system now known as the Cincinnati Bell Connector. COAST, an anti-streetcar interest group, opposed the use of airport funds for the streetcar. Residents of some Cincinnati neighborhoods were also upset that Mayor Mark Mallory had promised to disburse the same funds to neighborhood councils during his 2005 campaign against David Pepper. Nevertheless, the two cities reworked the purchase in 2007 to avoid violating FAA rules. The most recent airport master plan called for the retention and improvement of the current runway but the removal and demolition of all facilities to the west of the runway (the current taxiways, hangars, and ramps), the construction of a parallel taxiway, and new terminals and facilities to the east of the runway. The reclaimed area to the west of the runway was to be converted into a park, some light retail spaces, a museum, and additional space for three relocated holes from the Blue Ash Golf Course. Despite these plans, the City of Cincinnati concluded in 2012 that it could not afford to reconfigure the airstrip and keep it operational and decided to focus its resources on Lunken Airport. Meanwhile, Blue Ash expressed little interest in operating the airport itself, pointing out that the FAA had declined to finance the reconfiguration on several occasions and the runway was "at the end of its useful life". Amid declining airport revenues, the City of Cincinnati closed Blue Ash Airport permanently at noon on August 29, 2012, after 91 years of continuous service. Many planes were moved to more modern facilities at Lebanon-Warren County Airport, and Cincinnati West Airport also saw increased demand. That fall, Blue Ash opened phase I of Summit Park on the wooded western side of the airfield and demolished the Co-Op Aircraft Service hangar, which had stood since 1952. On May 19, 2017, Cincinnati sold the remaining , including the runway, to Al. Neyer. Neyer is building a mixed-use development on the site named The Neighborhoods of Summit Park, beginning with a residential subdivision named The Daventry. A 1969 Cessna aircraft was stranded at the airport when it closed; it was later stripped of its parts, then removed during construction. Facilities and aircraft Before the sale of to the City of Blue Ash, Cincinnati–Blue Ash Airport covered an area of and was served by three fixed-base operators. Two taxiways and one asphalt-paved runway (6/24) measuring roughly formed a right triangle. The runway, which was not sold to Blue Ash, was restricted to aircraft weighing less than . For the 12-month period ending January 30, 2006, the airport had 35,000 aircraft operations, an average of 95 per day: 97% general aviation, 2% air taxi and 1% military. There were 136 aircraft based at this airport: 88% single-engine, 11% multi-engine and 1% helicopter. Under the Watsons, the airport was a scheduled stop for Universal Air Lines. Decades later, air charter service Schmidt Aviation flew scheduled flights between Blue Ash Airport and Chicago Midway International Airport. Activities From 1997 to 2009, Blue Ash Airport hosted an annual air show known as Blue Ash Airport Days. This show was usually held in September and featured aerobatic performers, helicopter tours, and numerous static displays. The airport was home to the fully restored World War II B-17 bomber, My Gal Sal (one of three B-17E bombers in existence). It was housed in the Warbirds hangar and open for touring at certain scheduled times. Plans were in place to make the bomber the centerpiece of an aviation museum at the airport. Despite having private funding already promised for the construction of the museum, the plans were abandoned when the airport was closed in 2012. The bomber was shrink-wrapped and sent to the National World War II Museum in New Orleans in August 2012. Accidents and incidents On 3 July 1960, an unknown aircraft crashed immediately after takeoff from Parks Watson Airport, injuring the pilot and three passengers. On 8 July 1960, a Conrad 9800 crashed after taking off from the airport. On 4 April 1991, a Mooney M20J crashed while attempting to land at the airport, killing the pilot. On 31 October 1993, a Mooney M20K crashed while attempting to land at the airport, killing the pilot. On 15 August 1998, a Cessna 152 departing from Blue Ash Airport bound for Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport ran out of fuel and collided with a car as it attempted a landing on Ronald Reagan Cross County Highway, killing three. On 11 May 2007, a Cessna 172 and a Beechcraft Bonanza collided in mid air minutes after both aircraft had taken off from the airport, killing all three on board.

It wasn’t until recently that I realized I was a “victim” of these interviews. Up until I learned about your movement I went along with them because I didn’t know these types of interviews were out of the ordinary. I thought they were normal. I realized that the interviews played a part in my teenage depression and suicidal ideation but because I had never been sexually abused by a bishop I hadn’t considered the real harm until a few weeks ago. From the ages of a young deacon at twelve to getting married at twenty four, I went through interviews with church leaders. In every single interview I was as asked about my masturbation and pornography use. I had always had an issue with pornography. It was my one vice. I didn’t smoke, drink, fornicate, blaspheme, or do drugs. I didn’t even use a curse word until I was twenty three years old. However, I had used pornography and all my life it had been my curse. It did so much harm and almost ruined my life for reasons I won’t go into right now in this letter. Even though pornography wasn’t a good thing in my life, the shame and guilt brought on by my bishops’ interviews did much more harm to my self esteem and emotional development than anything pornography could have ever done. I have been hurt by this practice throughout my life. My first experience with pornography was age eight, before my baptism. I was flipping through the TV channels and found the dirty channels on pay-per-view. Having heard words such as “sex” but not knowing what they meant I was curious. I purchased the movie on the TV and I watched a few minutes of it before turning it off. I didn’t understand what was happening but I knew I liked what I saw. I used pornography off and on again until I was twelve years old. It had become a habit and I would use it every few days. It wasn’t anything sexual, really. Going to the computer and typing in “boobs” in Google image search or opening up this month’s Victoria’s Secret catalog did the trick for me. I remember going to my first Priesthood Session of General Conference and being so proud of myself that I was able to go. I went in an excited new deacon, but I left mortified and heart broken that this “pornography” word I had just learned in the session was what I had been doing for years. That Priesthood Session was the first time I had ever heard the word “pornography” used. In that conference session I learned that what I had done was next to murder. I was as bad as the people in jail. I was so embarrassed and rather than confessing to my bishop as the conference speaker suggested I kept my secret to myself and continued indulging my habit. By this point I had also discovered masturbation. I didn’t want my parents or bishop to know that I had committed this terrible sin. At age fourteen I finally got the courage to go to my bishop. He was a chiropractor. I told him what I had done and to my surprise he was very warm and loving. He told me that God would forgive me of my sins. He told me not to do it again and it would be okay. Feeling ashamed for the week following I tried my hardest to stay away from pornography. I wanted with all my heart to stay clean for the Lord but I just couldn’t do it. I only lasted two weeks. Knowing how my bishop reacted the first time I thought nothing of going to him again and confessing my sin. He told me that because I had committed the sin again all of the previous sin had returned. He told me I would not be allowed to take the sacrament for three weeks. I was shocked because I had never heard of not taking the sacrament in my life. It’s just what you did. Taking the sacrament was supposed to be a good thing. How would not taking the sacrament help me in my repentance process? Of course I didn’t last for the full three weeks. My habit got the better of me and once again I had committed the sin next to murder. I went to my bishop again the following Sunday. Rather than being warm and loving he was stern and cold. He told me this was my last chance and that if I couldn’t stop this soon that I would become subject to church discipline. Guess who never went back to that bishop to confess anything? To this day he probably still counts that meeting a a victory because he thought his threats had stopped my pornography usage. At fourteen years old I had just been threatened with church discipline, a concept I didn’t truly understand until I had returned home from my mission. When I turned sixteen I wanted to receive my patriarchal blessing. At the time, I knew the gospel was true with all of my heart but I was still using pornography. I also knew because of that, as soon as the patriarch laid his hands on my head he would know I wasn’t worthy to receive the blessing. That’s why I took a leap of faith and went to my newly called bishop. He was a car salesman. My bishop was humbled that I had come to him with this. I hadn’t told him about my pornography problems in the past with my other bishop. He told me that I couldn’t take the sacrament for a few weeks but that I was forgiven as long as I didn’t do it again. I can’t recall if I was worthy when I received my patriarchal blessing but I do remember coming home from church that day, opening the utensil drawer in my kitchen and considering cutting off my privates or taking spoons to my eyes because of the conversation I just had with my bishop. “If thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out.” I thought my bishop may have meant that literally because of how bad my “addiction” had become. Now I believe he was probably referring to plucking out the sin of pornography rather than actually plucking out my eyes but at the time I knew that man spoke for the Lord and I trusted him so I didn’t think anything else of it. Thank goodness I didn’t go through with it. During that meeting we “set up a plan” to help me recover. Activities included fasting and praying, reading my scriptures, telling my parents about my pornography usage, seeing an LDS therapist, and also meeting with the bishop every single week so he could check up on me. I remember that one of my greatest desires as a youth was that I could die after one of these interviews, not that I could have the meetings stop, but so that I could die worthy before I watched pornography again. I would have killed myself with no regrets were it not for the teaching that those who commit suicide go to the Telestial Kingdom. Each time I saw my bishop he was loving. Every time I saw him he would ask about my pornography usage. If I confessed to watching pornography that week, he would ask me the most embarrassing and degrading questions that my sixteen year old self had ever heard. Here are a list of questions I was asked: – What type of pornography did you watch? – Did it involve a man and a woman? – Women and women? Men and men? – Was the woman by herself in the video or was there someone else with her? – How old where the people in the pornographic video? – Describe the pornographic video you watched? – What specific websites did you visit to watch pornography? – Were you using a phone or a computer to watch pornography? – Where in the house were you when you watched pornography? – What time of day was it when you watched pornography? – What events led up to you using pornography this time? – Did you masturbate while watching pornography? – Did you ejaculate? – How much did you ejaculate? – Did you ejaculate more than one time while watching pornography? – Have you ever masturbated while fantasizing? – Have you ever fantasized about any of the Young Women in the ward? – Have you ever tried acting out any pornography with any of the Young Women in the ward? – Have you ever secretly tried to make pornography of any of the Young Women in the ward? – Have you ever watched pornography with someone else? – Have you ever masturbated with another person? – Have you ever had had sex with another boy? – Have you ever masturbated one of your male friends at school? -Have you ever discussed your pornography habits with your friends? – Have you ever watched pornography when your parents were home? – Have you ever watched pornography secretly while someone else was in the room? – Did you enjoy it? – Did it feel good? I don’t hold any ill will towards these men. I believe that they believe what they did was right. The bishops never made a move to sexually abuse me and I don’t think the thought ever even crossed their minds. Not every man who asks these questions is a sexual predator. Some simply ask the questions because that’s what the previous guy did or that’s what he bishop was asked himself. All of my bishops in my youth were upstanding men and some of the best men I knew in my life. In fact, the second bishop I mentioned is my mom’s second cousin. I grew up with these men as my leaders. I attended church meetings and school with their children. I still look up to these men, not because of the positions they held over me in the church, but because of the positive influences they have had in my life outside of their duties as bishops. The psychological scarring that the church gave me still exists somewhat even though I no longer believe in the church. I have gone through years of therapy to rid myself of my pornography usage. After dealing with the previous bishop and after turning eighteen, I attended the Young Single Adult branch. My licensed therapist I had been seeing for my pornography usage was also the YSA Branch President. Up to that point he was the most trained and most qualified person to discuss pornography with. He disagreed with other local leaders on what pornography was and how to overcome it. He was appalled when I told him what the Stake President’s definition of pornography is, which was “anything that is sexually stimulating.” He helped me become worthy to serve my mission. He became a great friend. I respected him not only for him helping me with my issues but also helping me feel not so much like the “next-to-murderer” that I was. He was released as Branch President while I was on my mission after serving for his allotted time. Years later, and related somewhat to pornography issues, I had a falling out with my Stake President. Days before my temple wedding my Stake President, his counselors, and a council of twelve other men disfellowshipped me for a year because of pornography usage. I went into that disciplinary council a full on believer in the restored gospel and the atonement of Jesus Christ. However, due to the dozens of inappropriate interviews and actions of the Branch and Stake president I began to doubt the inspiration of my leaders. My Stake President on multiple occasions told my wife behind closed doors that she should not only leave me, but also that it wouldn’t be an “if” but a “when” I relapsed. He told her that one night she would wake up to me not being in bed and that she would walk in to find me “masturbating over the most vulgar things she had ever seen in her life.” From that I learned, as a believer, that the atonement of Jesus Christ didn’t apply to me. If I was going through this process just to have the same problem then why was I going through it at all? I eventually told my Stake President that he was not to meet with my wife-to-be any longer. After some push back he agreed to my request. Though I was a believer through all the pain I was being caused, the moment that broke me and the moment I admitted to myself that there was something wrong in the church was when the same Stake President physically threatened my wife. He told me, “If you knew that every time you looked at pornography that a group of men would drag your wife out of the house and beat her, would you still do it?” I took that as a real threat because I believed the Lord would send karma to me and kill my wife for looking at pornography. I have since confronted the Stake President about these incidents and I have that meeting recorded on tape. As a side note, my wife said she had never been asked if she masturbates in an bishop’s interview until she moved to this stake. During the start of my faith crisis I attempted suicide twice from overdosing of prescription drugs. I had multiple suicide plans ranging from falling on knives placed under my heart and head to jumping off a roof to running my car off the side of a bridge and drowning in the water below. I began cutting and burning myself, and even unfolded a wire clothes hanger and beating myself until I bled. I would rather have died than the church not be true. At my absolute lowest point on a day I had planned to come home and kill myself, I instead reached out to my then-fiancé who had no previous knowledge of my suicide attempts, self torture, or my doubts about the church. Along with her and my parents I received the treatment and help I needed in order to get better. We were married in the temple for time and eternity nearly two years ago now. I eventually completely apostatized from the church for which I received more threats of disciplinary action. I have since removed my name from the records of the church. I have since moved on with my life. I have embraced being a non-member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and I have never been happier. I no longer have suicidal thoughts or actions. I don’t let my past vices take hold of me or guilt me. I live my life to the best of my ability, not because arbitrary commandments constrain me, but because I want to do the best with the life that I have now. I don’t live for a prize in the afterlife, I live to experience joy in this one. Even if this life is all there is, I want to make the best of it. One could say that this chain of events began with my pornography usage at such a young age but I attribute it to how my leaders treated me both as a child, a teenager, and an adult. These practices are evil. They are harmful. And they are dangerous. Share this: Facebook Reddit Twitter Tumblr Pinterest

I want to start off by saying that I am Mexican, and I love the fact that my family eats tamales every Christmas. I love it so much that I ate 30 tamales in the span of three days. That is a true story. I don’t know the reason why so many families have this tradition, but I’m fully on board with it. I just thought I would give it a shot on how the tamale fest came to be. I would also like to add that a day should be set aside for Fernando Valenzuela, since he was a pudgy unattractive dude who banged all kinds of hot white ladies. Women must really love fast balls and strike outs, if you know what I’m saying. I hope everyone had a great holiday! Hallelujah Holla-Back, Nick

Q: How do I install an older 2.6.37 Kernel Version? I have a Sony VAIO P netbook and for several issues (graphics driver, audio driver and power management), I want to install an older version of the Linux kernel on Ubuntu 11.10 (actually its Xubuntu) that seems to be much more suitable. So I searched for Ubuntu kernels and found this link which includes all versions of the Linux kernel distributed by Ubuntu. I am looking for a version before 2.6.38 (to escape the known power management issue) and of course solve my many driver problems! I guess my best bet is 2.6.37 but there are several 2.6.37.x-x kernels! Can someone point me to the right choice? In each folder (for example: this one) there are several DEB packages. Which packages should I install? (Note: I have a 32-bit system) What is the installation process? sudo dpkg -i *.deb ? Is this fine or additional steps are required? Thanks. A: first the warning Changing the kernel is not to be taken lightly - you can leave yourself with serious graphics issues and other issues - and even non booting scenarios. It is wise to disk-image with a good imaging tool such as Clonezilla BEFORE you start. mainline kernels vs ubuntu stock kernels The mainline kernels are built using an older toolchain than stock ubuntu kernels. Its perhaps better to consider downloading ubuntu kernels from specific Ubuntu versions For example - 2.6.38 for Natty, 2.6.35 for Maverick and 2.6.32 for Lucid. However, you could look forward to v3.2 that is going to be used in Precise - some have reported good power-management issues with this kernel as well as the latest drivers. There is a similar question here that will give you some further information: How to downgrade the Kernel on 11.10 Assuming your main issue is power-management, then before you consider changing your kernel - consider installing Jupiter - this is an excellent power-management tool. installing from the mainline If you must download from the mainline then the full instructions are on the community wiki. In summary 32bit or 64bit deb packages for headers & generic image together with a common "all" deb package. All .deb packages can be installed with the same syntax: sudo dpkg -i [package_name].deb If you want to use 2.6.37 - then just use the latest 2.6.37.x version. Note - none of these kernels will be receiving security updates - you will need to patch these yourself. If you are using proprietary drivers (e.g. nvidia or fglrx) then you will need to reinstall those drivers. It may be wise to rename your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file first before booting.

ich weiß irgendwie nicht, die reißen mich nicht wirklich vom hocker die beiden Tiere, besonders der Lystrosaurus sieht für mich aus wie ne art unterentwickelter Fötus.

Yesterday we asked readers about their run-ins with Steve Jobs, and they delivered. The Apple CEO is quietly ubiquitous, seen from Palo Alto to SoHo, from Whole Foods to Gotham catwalks, a shaggy-dressing crazy driver who's kind to strangers. We asked how Jobs behaves in the wild for two reasons: One, we thought his outdoor café meeting with the powerful CEO of Google was probably staged for publicity, and wondered how common it was for him to be so conspicuously out in public. Two, we were curious if the most famous CEO in the world is able to connect with ordinary people — i.e., his ideal customers — while under constant threat of becoming a public spectacle. It would seem, based on the emails and comments we've received, that Jobs is able to mingle freely in public, albeit with an eye on the exits in case things get awkward or dangerous. Like our colleague Brian Lam over at Gizmodo, we're coming around to the idea that the Jobs-Schmidt coffee might not have been staged. Jobs and Schmidt are regulars at the café where they were spotted, according to a source Lam quoted last night. Our readers, meanwhile, tell us Jobs is regularly out and about in Silicon Valley and New York. He's not afraid to cut in line, dine alone, or speed around corners in the Apple parking lot. He does his own dishes. And sometimes security guards make him show his ID, just like anyone else. We're keeping the identities of our tipsters confidential; if you see your email below and want to claim credit, just shoot us an email. And now, for our catalog of Encounters of the Turtleneck Kind: Insane driver, part 1: I used to work for apple for about 5 years Quite often I would have to go to Cupertino for work stuff. One time I was pulling out of the IL 1 parking lot ( 1 infinite loop) and this silver mercedes near swiped me as he pulled in. I slammed on my breaks and was like who the f*#k was that? The car next to me stops, rolls down his window, and says "Oops my bad, you okay?" (it was Steve Jobs) I sat there with my mouth open as he rolled his window back up and pulled in the handicap spot. The guy next to me goes "damn i wish he would've clocked us, imagine the settlement!" dude drives like a maniac Insane driver, part 2: From BootHillBossanova's comment: I was working as a bagger at the Palo Alto Whole Foods in the summer of '97 [he probably means '98, when the iMac debuted in August]. I was shagging carts one afternoon when I saw this silver Mercedes parked in a handicapped spot. Steve Jobs was inside screaming at his car phone. This was right before the first iMac was unveiled and I'm pretty sure I could make out, "Not. Fucking.Blue. Enough!!!" Update: The commenter clarifies that while Jobs was yelling, he was joking/speculating about what Jobs actualy said. Thus the "Not Fucking Blue Enough" quote above should be discounted. Insane driver, part 3: From steve.krupf's comment: A couple years ago, I had a networking-type breakfast with a friend of a friend who worked for Apple, in the main cafeteria on the company's campus in Cupertino. After I'd finished my tasty chorizo omelet (Apple has an amazing omelet bar), my guy on the inside walked me back to my car. We started saying our goodbyes, and I wasn't really paying attention to where I was standing. Suddenly a silver Mercedes roadster-type car with no license plates came screaming around a bend and swerved ever so slightly to avoid me. And my Apple guy said: "Do you know who that was who almost ran you over?" It was an honor to have impeded your trip to your parking spot, Mr. Jobs. Steve's turn to do dishes this is interesting timing for your article because this happened the other week. I live in Palo Alto and am a grad student at Stanford. We were in Jobs' neighborhood two weekends ago having dinner with some friends of my parents, and we decided to take a walk in order to look at Steve Jobs' and Steve Young's houses, which are right next to each other. We headed over, and all of a sudden were alongside Jobs house. It's a really unusual and interesting house, but very understated and relatively small. You can just freely walk on the sidewalk right next to it. Well, we were walking along, and I heard dishes clattering, coming from his house, and I look over and there he was in his kitchen window, black turtleneck and all, washing dishes. He just looked up at us, maybe 15 feet away. Nothing in between us but a window, no tall fence (a short, decorative, waist-high one). And we just walked on and proceeded to admire the apple orchard he has in his front yard, and even walked up his driveway a little to see his tulip garden (we were with a kindly old lady, so we didn't look too menacing). His neighbor, who we were walking with, told us that his security lives in the house next door, and he is under constant surveillance, but I still couldn't help but be shocked at how simple and unassuming his house was, and the fact that we saw him washing his dishes. If he doesn't need security gates, I don't know who does. My guess is that his coffee date with Eric Schmidt was very heavily guarded, its just you don't see his security. As for whether it was staged or not, I don't know. People seem to see him around Palo Alto a lot, so it seems like he is just living his normal life here, and that probably includes having coffee with other high-powered tech folks. The Sloppy CEO: A brush with a potential tantrum I was sent to the Apple campus to do a demo for the Final Cut group in 'the Piano Bar'. We had a Genelec surround system sent directly to our contact at Apple and I loaded this on a huge cart along with other hardware and my Warr Guitar strapped to my back. We 'booked' the room so we were sure it would be abandoned, including the allocated setup time. So, I come crashing into this room with the cart *KERBLAM* and I see a group of five people talking quietly at a table in the back. I begin to unload and set up. Our Apple contact says, "We should, uh, get out of here." I shrug and follow him out. He and my co-worker leave to go do something and I'm sitting outside the piano bar making sure nobody walks off with my gear. Moments later four, ashen Apple employees scurry out of the room and head out the door followed by a scruffy unshaven fellow. He stops, surveys the area, and, like a missile locking on to a strong heat signature, zeros in and walks towards me, the person who burst in on the private meeting. It is funny how the brain works. As this person approached me, I had time to string the following thoughts together: "This guy is coming to talk to me. Heh. He kind of looks like Steve Jobs, but Steve wouldn't wear torn jeans and have a three day beard and what are the chances that within 15 minutes I'd bump into... OMFG..." He holds out his hand and says, "Hi, I'm Steve." I owned a 128K Mac in 1984. Before that, a Lisa. What I do today was shaped largely by Apple, and what this person did. Heck, I started writing music by dragging notes onto a screen with a program called MusicWorks - it isn't hyperbole to say my very interest in music started with the Macintosh. Being a fairly eloquent person, I summon up the response: "Hey." Smooth. I don't remember if I shook his hand or not. Stopping to chat up a fellow cancer patient I don't personally have a Steve Jobs sighting, but my friend did, probably about four years ago. She lives in downtown Palo Alto a few blocks away from University Avenue, same neighborhood as him. She was recovering from chemo (she has cancer) and was taking a walk with her husband near the house when they ran into a man who noticed her headscarf and asked her how her treatment was going. They discussed their respective cancer treatments for a while; after he'd moved on, her husband told her who she'd been talking to. Also, it's not surprising that he got lost going to the movies. I grew up on the Peninsula, and it happens to me every time I try to go to those big AMC theaters in Mountain View or Cupertino. Imagine a huge parking lot with no obvious landmarks and all the buildings looking indistinguishable from each other. It's not like trying to find the AMC in Union Square!!! Steve Jobs waits in line for food like a normal person I never realized that he had a problem being in public. I was getting a smoothie at Whole Foods a few years ago in downtown Palo Alto one day and guess who was in line in front of me! After I ordered I went to sit down at the tables and there he was again, eating like a normal person. No bodyguards and no disguises. I mean, he lives in Palo Alto so why would it be weird to see him at a cafe there? First and last time I've ever seen him (I live in San Jose now). Steve Jobs does not wait in line for food like some peon From nataliekei's comment: Not sure if this qualifies, but as a former Apple employee, Jobs was knows to park in the first spot closest to the door - even though it was a handicapp spot! HR finally had to tell him that isn't OK even for him. Eventually they chalked a spot marked "Jobs" for him. Also, in the company cafeteria, there could be a HUGE line, however he would rush in and get his food by just cutting in line. Its good to be the king! Do You Know Who I Am? Not 100% sure if this is what you were looking for, but in 1998, the first year Macworld moved from the two convention centers in Boston to the Javits Center in New York City, I was walking around the lobby area trying to make my way back onto the convention floor. I was 13 at the time, playing with my 4 year old Newton 120 which my dad had given to me. Now back in 1998 Steve Job wasn't supposed to show up for the Keynote, he was going to do it via satellite [this is true], but much to my amazement however I see 10 feet in front of me, Steve Jobs. I'm standing there watching the CEO of Apple and his 4-5 deep entourage yelling at the security guard. As I moved closer I heard one of the entourage say "This is Steve Jobs, he is the CEO of Apple Computer" to which the guard replied "He is not the CEO of the Javits Center, he needed a badge to enter." So it seems in his last minute choice to go to Macworld, no one got Mr. Jobs an badge. Whoops. Steve Jobs does not shake hands with stangers I've just read this http://valleywag.gawker.com/5505515/how-steve-jobs-behaves-in-public and I can personally assure Jobs don't like to shake hands to unknown people, here is a video taken at the end of a Macworld Expo keynote: http://www.setteb.it/?p=774 follow the second link to watch. The article is in Italian, Google Translator is embedded. Toward the end of this short clip, Jobs does indeed appear to avoid shaking hands several times. But we thought we heard him tell someone "I'm sick," with the sound turned all the way up. Steve Jobs does shake hands with strangers, and remembers names as well as a politician From raincoaster's comment: He met a friend of mine at some huge geek event, and two years later bumped into him at a different event, walked right up, stretched out his hand for a shake and said, "It's Dave, right? From SFU?" Don't make Steve Jobs shake your hand, he is sick, you insensitive clod: From DoctorJezebel's comment: Readers of gawker blogs: the dude had a fucking liver transplant. He is chronically immunosuppressed for life to prevent his body from rejecting the new liver. This is basically the functional equivalent of having full-blown AIDS and being susceptible to all sorts of weird, normally benign conditions. No wonder he doesn't want to shake your hand. This is a very good point; read the rest of the thread for more good comments along these lines. He's good with kids and apparent crazy people From itmustbeken's comment: Many years ago, my family were hanging out at a park near downtown Palo Alto. My kids were running around like they were insane and soon we were joined by several others. As I am want to do, I turned into a monster and chased the kids bellowing at the top of my lungs and generally acting like the worlds largest 7 year old. One little girl went up to her dad and said 'This is the best park ever! He's so funny!' Her dad was Steve Jobs. He was warm, friendly and thanked me for running his kids ragged at the park. His wife was nice too. My brush with awesomeness. He's good with kids, when his mind doesn't wander: My first Steve Jobs sighting took place at Stanford Shopping Center, in Palo Alto, California, in the fall of 2002. It was on a Saturday, in the heart of the Christmas shopping season. I was sitting with two of my teenaged cousins at one of the outdoor cafes, La Baguette, when Steve walked by with one of his children. I noticed him right away because he was wearing his black turtleneck and blue jeans, as well as his wire-rimmed eyeglasses[...] Another thing I observed: As he strode along with his child, he seemed very focused — as if on a mission to get someplace by a certain time. And though he was holding his child's hand — which I thought was cute, on his part — he also appeared not to notice his child was walking next to him. PS — Since then, I've seen him a number of times during visits to Apple HQ — particularly inside IL 1 and at Caffe Mac — usually alone, though once with Jonny Ive. He takes care of his vehicle Hello, I live in Mountain View, CA right next door to his home town of Palo Alto, and occasionally drive by his house on Waverly. One time my wife and I drove by and saw him outside either washing or waxing his SL 55—can't remember, this was a few years ago, I think even before the iPhone. He looked in our direction as we drove by, and nodded as he probably noticed that both of us were staring, but that was about it. Cool on the catwalk From Motoko Kusanagi's comment: When the Apple store in SoHo NYC opened, Steve was hanging out chatting with anyone who recognized him (surprisingly few people in NYC cared about him back then). I caught him hanging out on the little bridge connecting the two sides of the upper floor. He was just soaking up the launch of his newest baby, taking a moment to enjoy what was undoubtedly a whole lot of hard work. For such a private and allegedly aloof person, he is cool as can be. Couple of more details from the Apple store sighting we ran last time I used to work at one of the Apple Stores here in [New York] city. He was scheduled to come in, we didn't know exactly when. He got out of a town car out front, walked in, and right up to me - shaking my hand and saying, "Hi, I'm Steve Jobs! Is XXXXX (name of the store manager) here?" When I said he was and called him, [Jobs] said he was going to run to the bathroom first - and went to the customer's bathroom (which anyone can use - and isn't exactly the cleanest). He came out, walked right back up to me, and started talking about the store. After about 5 min customers around us starting walking up asking to take pictures, and asking questions, when he promptly asked to be excused and left - back to the car and away. We had all heard stories about his desire to not shake hands (he offered first), his desire to not be in public (he spent his entire time in full view in open areas of the store) and his general shitty attitude (he was super nice and cordial). Just something I thought of when reading your article. All that being said, the company is security crazy. [After a follow up question:] The dude took a pilgrimage to India and shit in a hole - he had nothing at all to say about the bathroom. He talked about random stuff in the store, asked how we we doing, etc. He noticed a stain on a fixture and said it should be the first priority to get that fixed. Honestly, I think he is a seriously focused and dedicated guy who is a normal nerd at heart - except he's been made into a hero by a group of people. Im not saying that the treatment he gets isn't his fault, but he struck me in person as a completely different person than what he's portrayed as. Got a story that can top these? We'll take it!

(Hanson’s two reports were both interesting, so I’m including both here instead of combining) Double-A: Seen at no-hitter… started slow, threw better as game went on. Deception with fastball, picked up velocity late. Plus location on fastball. Slider can be untouchable with plus location. Curve approaches average. Needs to improve changeup. All business on the mound. Future at top of rotation. AFL: Throws fastball to both sides of plate with plus command. Right-handed hitters helpless when he locates away. Plus, plus hard 3/4 curve, commands well, knee-buckler, unfair at times to hitters. Slider is tighter version of curve, plus as well. Changeup still needs work. Top of rotation future, could be ready in 2009. Outstanding hitting approach, gets bat through strike zone well. Can hit to all fields and can drive ball with power. Gets foold at times with off-speed stuff, will chase pitches down in zone. Glove work is spotty, but has soft hands and good arm strength. Bat will carry him and give him chance to be Major League contributor. 21. Elvis Andrus, SS, RangersSeen: May (Texas League) and November Great tools and instincts at premium position. Defensive tools to play now. Makes all plays in field. Soft hands and ability to wow you in feild. Will save runs. Sometimes stays back on balls a little. Arm very true. Singles hitter now, but hands work and swing will play. Very young, needs more innings, particularly at plate. Lefty with excellent future. Throws strikes with four competitive pitches. Fastball a little straight, without too much deception, though angle helps some. Fastball was hit until he started mixing pitches better. Curve and slider are two distinct pitches. Will challenge hitters with both, slider a touch better. Middle of rotation type at least. Share this: Like this: Related 3 Comments Jonathan, Two quick comments/questions… 1.) There were some opinions expressed that it was possible that part of the reason Hanson dominated in the AFL was that he wasn’t going full games and didn’t have to worry about his pitch counts, something that could initially hurt him when he debuts with the Braves and adjusts to major league pitching. I would love to get your opinion on this thinking and if you agree/disagree. 2.) I’ve seen some other reports on Matusz that indicate he may have some small inconsistant mechanics issues to work on. Could you comment on his mechanics? Dennis — To answer your questions. 1.) I think that’s absurd. Will Hanson struggle with pitch counts at times, not allowing him to pitch deep into games at first? Probably. He does sometimes get a little jacked up at the beginning of games before settling down, but that will be a short-term issue. I went and checked his pitch counts in the AFL and in his final four starts (not including the championship game, he had the following): 5 IP, 66 pitches 5 IP, 75 pitches 5 IP, 73 pitches 5 IP, 79 pitches We’re not exactly talking about a guy racking up a ton of pitches here. 15 pitchers per inning? I’d take that, wouldn’t you? Not saying he’ll do that against big-league hitting every time out, but you get the point. Those of you not so good at math, that means he could go 7 innings every time and only throw 105 pitches each start. Sounds good to me. I saw him throw a few times and he was just absolutely dominant. The big reason why was he was able to throw all of his pitches for strikes at any point in the count. Pitch count had nothing to do with it. 2.) I only saw Matusz once in the AFL and, honestly, I didn’t really get the chance to hone in on his delivery and mechanics. That being said, anyone I’ve talked to about him, it’s not something that’s come up as a major concern. Whatever issues there were/are, they are minor and extremely correctable. This is a guy who’s got 4 pitches he can throw for strikes and shouldn’t take very long at all to get to the bigs. That’s all you have to worry about.

DeepInThought wrote: who suddenly go on this “life discovery” bulls~~~ An EX I dated in her early 20s once lay in bed with me CRYING because I thought it would be a good idea for her to move out, get her own place, take an offer she just got etc. I truly encouraged independence in her and almost pushed her out the door. Her tears worked, I caved, and we didn’t speak about it again — until we broke up two years later when she blamed me and said “you didn’t let me be my own person. I lost myself with you.”. This made me so angry I could have punched hole in the wall. First she had a problem with it, then she blamed me for it. She was not the first (or the last) either. The LAST thing I need is a woman who wants a relationship/boyfriend/marriage SO BADLY, and then one day she tells you over breakfast that she’s “oppressed”. That’s when I realize WHY women say stupid stuff like “I lost myself” and “I need to find myself”… because they really aren’t their own person. It’s a joke. They latch on to a man, immerse themselves in his world, and then blame you for “losing themselves”, tell everyone and their stupid friends that they need to “find themselves”. And 35 is the age where it’s getting harder to latch on to a man anyway. So they pretend to flaunt this newly-found “independence” and behave like they’re so fabulous – while trying to rationalize The Wall™. Makes perfect sense to me. Women are always looking too “find themselves”. But men CREATE themselves.

Warren — Musings — Seriously, he is. Even the Star seems to think so. Here’s what he put up on the Internet. So, in his defence, Critch allegedly does comedy. I haven’t ever watched his show or whatever, but I would imagine trying to be funny is hard. (I guess.) Anyway, on the day Stephen Harper packed it in as an MP, Critch posted the thing above. It’s apparently a joke about Harper hiding in a closet on the day a self-appointed jihadist murdered a Canadian soldier and stormed Parliament Hill, shooting at people. I’ve talked about that day with MPs from all parties. All of them say they are still a bit haunted by what happened, and they’ll never forget it. All of them were hiding on the Hill, that day, hoping to avoid getting killed. All of them. One said to me afterward: “The shots were really, really loud. They were happening right outside our caucus room door. We didn’t know what was happening, but we knew we could could get shot. We were all texting our families.” Here’s the thing, Mark Critch comedian guy: if Stephen Harper was in a closet, it’s because the RCMP pushed him in there, you feckless moron. I’ve worked for a Prime Minister, and walked around with him on the Hill and off, and I can tell you that’s the RCMP’s job. Just like that time a bunch of Secret Service agents threw themselves on top of Ronald Reagan to keep him from being shot again, remember? That’s the job. It didn’t look like John Wayne in the movies – all swagger and indifference to bullets flying – but it probably saved the President’s life. Stephen Harper, and now Justin Trudeau, didn’t sign up to get killed. They didn’t ever claim to be experts on personal security, either. Leaders and their families deserve every bit of the protection they get, and more. When there’s a real threat, the RCMP take over, not the politicians. And if that means the cops have to push the politicians into a fucking closet to protect them from an active shooter, that’s a good thing. They are being smart and brave. You, meanwhile, are being an asshole.

Q: Should I delete the question that is similar to the others asked before? For example, I asked this Is $\{(x,y)|y=\sin(\frac{1}{x})\}\cup(0,1)$ connected on $R^2$?, in the answer someone points out that a similar question was asked and discussed before. The title looks different so I cannot find it by searching, should I delete questions like this myself( If reputation lost is a consideration, should I delete it before any answer is upvote?)? A: No, you shouldn't. Duplicates are generally useful (there are exceptional cases such as the 27th duplicate of $0.999999...=1$). Also, you can't delete your question if it has an upvoted answer (or two answers, even without upvotes). What you could do (once you became aware of duplication) was to flag your question for closure: flag $\to$ it is a duplicate. Does not matter now because there is already a vote to close.

I just realized I put odet’s fucking cha stat as rly low and then dress her in primarily short shrots and really revealing clothes jfc Like sure she is def non-confrontational and cries when stressed but she deserves at least two stars for confidence in her looks & wardrobe

Former Canadian prime minister Kim Campbell used the same expletive to describe U.S. President Donald Trump as a newly elected Democratic congresswoman who is now under fire for her comments. Campbell, Canada’s first female prime minister, tweeted just before 10 a.m. on Saturday: “He really IS a mother------!” Campbell attached a video of Trump reiterating his call for a border wall, despite zero support from House Democrats to support the marquee plan. Campbell’s sharply-worded tweet comes one day after video surfaced of Rep. Rashida Tlaib, a Democrat from Detroit, telling supporters at an event on Thursday that Democrats were going to “Impeach the mother------.” Tlaib’s comments exemplify the thinking of a vocal group of Democrats who believe the House should take immediate steps to impeach the president. The majority of Democrats, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi, agree that they should wait to see the results of Robert Mueller’s investigation. Pelosi said she didn’t like the language and wouldn’t use it herself, but that she wouldn’t censor her colleagues. Trump called Tlaib’s choice of words “disgraceful” and said she “dishonoured herself.” Despite some blowback within her own party, Tlaib stood by her comments on Friday, tweeting that she will “always speak truth to power.” Some Twitter users took issue with the former prime minister’s choice of language – prompting her to respond. “If you don’t get the reference to the comment by Congresswoman Taib [sic]- can’t help you,” she tweeted. Campbell’s tweet has since been retweeted more than 500 times. He really IS a motherf**ker! https://t.co/mPSfKTtfIq — Kim Campbell (@AKimCampbell) January 5, 2019

Massive feto-maternal haemorrhage with good perinatal outcome following failed external cephalic version. To reinforce the risk of feto-maternal haemorrhage associated with external cephalic version for breech presentation. A single case report with a literature review. Our case report was associated with the largest feto-maternal haemorrhage following external cephalic version reported so far. The perinatal outcome in this case was favourable despite a significant amount of fetal haemorrhage. The literature review did include cases with unfavourable outcomes. No reliable method of monitoring fetuses with feto-maternal haemorrhage has been reported, although middle cerebral artery Doppler studies appear to show promise. External cephalic version is useful in the management of breech presentations at term, but it is not without risks and clinicians need to be aware of this.

Famous Actor Abused by ‘Nazi’ Father Reports are now surfacing that Kevin Spacey’s father was a “Nazi child rapist” who routinely abused his children in his “house of horrors home.” According to Spacey’s brother, 62-year-old Randall Fowler, who is a Rod Stewart impersonator, allegations that the actor sexually assaulted a 14-year-old boy come as no surprise given their childhood. Speaking with The Sun, Fowler’s agent said that none of this is news and the two have had a distant relationship ever since Spacey hit it big. “Obviously this is not new news, but as far as this particular guy, Randy doesn’t know anything because Kevin cut himself off when he became Mr. Rich Millionaire,” said Bonnie Soto. “We’re not too surprised. And we know that Kevin has been in the closet for a long time.” Fowler claims that their father — whom they called “The Creature” — routinely abused them as kids and their mother knew about it. In a 2004 interview with The Sun, Fowler also described their father as a Nazi obsessed with Adolf Hitler. The abuse scarred Fowler so deeply that he refused to have his own children in fear they would “inherit the sexual predator gene.” “I grew up in a living hell. There was so much darkness in our home it was beyond belief. It was absolutely miserable,” he said. “Years later, our mother actually wrote a letter to all three of us, trying to justify what had gone on by saying she was abused as a child and so was our father.” Fowler described his brother Kevin keeping to himself in an “emotional bubble.” “Kevin tried to avoid what was going on by wrapping himself in an emotional bubble,” he said. ” He became very sly and smart. He was so determined to try to avoid the whippings that he just minded his Ps and Qs until there was nothing inside. He had no feelings.” 2 comments If he was in a closet, it had a glass door. He’s been “out” and the darling of homosexuals for years. Perversion in that house was the foundation toward building the pervert he is today. No link between born-that-way claim of homosexuality and pedophilia? Damn the political correctness and crank up the research and allow therapy again to address the mental illness of those forced down this path through no choice of their own.

I honestly think they handled The Mandarin about as perfectly as one possibly could. Here's the thing: The Mandarin in the comics is undeniably a racial caricature. He's probably the worst example of the Yellow Peril archetype that I've ever seen. He's worse than Fu Manchu, Fu Manchu actually has more heroic and likable qualities than The Mandarin. So if you have to adapt The Mandarin into a modern film and not be mind destroyingly racist, you have to address that. And the way they changed the character not only fixed that problem, but it also commented on the problem itself. Think for a moment about who The Mandarin is as a person. He's the child of a former noble family in China who lost everything in the cultural revolution before he was born. He grew up bitter, believing that the Chines Government had denied him what he was entitled to by birthright. He became a loser and a bumb, and then entirely by accident stumbled across an alien spacecraft with ten magic rings inside. He used the rings' power to bring together his own guerrilla army and take back what he believed he was owed from the people who took it from him and from the world at large, and along the way adopted social darwinist philosophies that he used to justify his rise to power. Think about that for a second. Remove his nationality, remove all of the details, and just think of the narrative and the story beats. He was a bitter, down on his luck loser who believed he had been denied what he was entitled to by people in positions of power. Through sheer dumb luck, he stumbled across a source of enormous power. He did not create this power or earn it in any way, but he still took it for himself. He then used this power to create a criminal and terrorist organization with which he worked to amass political power and take back what he believed was owed to him, developing a philosophy of Social Darwinism along the way. His power source also gives him the ability to, when coupled with his martial arts skills, take on Iron Man in hand to hand combat without a suit of armor. That describes Aldrich Killian perfectly. He calls himself The Mandarin, he has those dragon tattoos that evoke the imagery of The Mandarin, and he even fits the title of Mandarin, which means "advisor to the king," much better than the comics Mandarin as part of his MO is putting himself in such an advisory capacity where he can leverage political power and run things from behind the scenes. Literally the only things he doesn't have in common with the comics Mandarin are his birth name, his nationality, his ethnicity, and the exact details of how his powers work. Everything about the character that defines the character is the same. Even his being a corporate CEO who secretly runs a terrorist organization is the same, as The Mandarin was doing that when he was revived in the Iron Man comics a few years ago. They including all of the defining characteristics of who The Mandarin is as a person while removing the racist elements of the character. Not only did they remove them, but through the decoy character they actually commented on them. The decoy character was a mish mash of racist enemy "other" stereotypes used by the now Caucasian and American Mandarin to prey on white America's fears while also covering his tracks. They were able to keep everything that was good and interesting about the character while simultaneously criticize everything that was racist about the original version. It's pretty brilliant. The notion that "Killian is the Mandarin like my dad was santa clause when I was a child" is total bunk. It only holds water if you think that The Mandarin's defining characteristic is being an east asian stereotype. No one said Henri Ducard wasn't really Ra's Al Ghul when they did the exact same thing in Batman Begins.

The G-spot may exist, but all pleasure paths still lead back to the clitoris Below: Few phenomena in this world are sliced and diced more than the female orgasm — did it happen? Was it good? Where did it come from? Does size matter? Why did one technique work last week, but not this week? A new study is likely to add even more speculation to the mix. Researchers at the University of L’Aquila in Italy have found physical evidence that, yes, Virginia, there is a G-spot. Vaginal ultrasounds of 20 sexually active women found increased thickness in the tissue between the vagina and the urethra — where the G-spot is thought to reside — only in women who reported having vaginal orgasms and not those who reported clitoral orgasms. Dr. Emmanuele Jannini, lead researcher on the study, concluded that some women simply have a G-spot and others don’t. And, consequently, that some women are capable of “vaginal orgasms,” while others are not. Ahoy! Like searching for evidence of the Loch Ness Monster, the existence of the G-spot had been caught on paper. However, before you get a map and make an appointment with your doctor for an ultrasound, a few things need to be considered. In the mythology of female sexuality, a lot of fuss is made over the differences between clitoral, G-spot, blended and vaginal orgasms. The clitoral orgasm is often criticized as being quick and lighthearted, while the others are somehow deemed more serious and substantive, possibly because they include partner-friendly penetration. But a quick study of anatomy reveals that all orgasms are clitoral. The clitoris is the sexual epicenter, an orgasmic powerhouse in which no sensation goes unnoticed. Many people know and love the clitoris as the pea-size bump you can see externally; however, this is merely the tip of the iceberg. The clitoris is actually a vast internal network of parts that extend deep into the pelvis and connect with other internal parts of a woman’s sexual anatomy — measuring about four inches in total! And guess what the clitoris backs right into? The G-spot, which, anatomically speaking, is an area of spongy tissue that surrounds the urethra to protect it during penetration (named for the man who discovered it in 1944, Dr. Ernst Grafenberg). In other words, all roads lead back to the clitoris. What we think of as the G-spot is simply a part of the clitoris. A G-spot orgasm, like all female orgasms, is part of the same fantastic, magical pleasure-network inside of a woman’s body. Trying to separate one orgasm from the other is futile and, more importantly, likely to take you further away from orgasm rather than closer to it. So while the G-spot does indeed exist, I think it’s important for women (and their partners) not to get hung up on distinctions. Enjoy pleasure from wherever it comes. At the end of the day, an orgasm is an orgasm is an orgasm and how you get there is half the fun. Viva la vulva!

Sute de nave extraterestre, OZN-uri, s-ar îndrepta către Terra cu gânduri nu tocmai pașnice, spun ufologii. Potrivit estimărilor ufologilor, un atac al extratereștrilor se va produce în decembrie, ținta fiind Rusia, însă navele pot ateriza și în alte colțuri ale planetei, informează incomemagazine.ro. Se spune, printre altele, că cel mai mare dintre acest aparat ar avea o suprafață de 4.000 metri pătrați. Specialiștii Agenției spațiale americane NASA spun că, aceste obiecte neidentificate care s-ar îndrepta spre Pământ ar putea fi și asteroizi.

1. Field of the Invention The present invention generally relates to personal watercraft, and more particularly relates to propulsion control based on detected attitude of a personal watercraft. 2. Description of the Related Art Typically, water-jet propulsion personal watercraft have a relatively small body including a hull and a deck covering the hull from above which are joined to each other. An engine is mounted in an inner space of the body. The engine is configured to drive a water jet pump configured to propel the watercraft, which pressurizes and accelerates water sucked through a water passage from a water intake generally provided on a hull bottom surface, and ejects it rearward from an outlet port. As a result, the personal watercraft is propelled. Since the personal watercraft has a relatively small body as described above, it may have various travel attitudes depending on a reaction force of a water jet ejected from the water jet pump or an operating attitude of a rider. For example, when the rider performs an operation to quickly open a throttle to a great degree to gain a large propulsion force of the watercraft, a front part of the body tends to tilt upward. When the rider operates a steering handle to a great extent to perform a sharp turn, the watercraft body tends to bank in a steering direction. However, with the front part of the body tilting upward to a great extent, the propulsion force being generated by the water jet pump is not efficiently utilized to accelerate the watercraft in a direction in which the watercraft is traveling, and therefore, a desired acceleration is not achieved. If the watercraft banks to a great extent during the turn, the water intake on the hull bottom surface is exposed above the water surface, and air enters the water jet pump through the water passage. As a result, the propulsion force of the watercraft may decrease. In the water-jet propulsion personal watercraft, a steering nozzle is disposed behind an impeller of the water jet pump. By pivoting the steering nozzle clockwise or counterclockwise, a water jet ejected from the water jet pump is changed to turn the watercraft. With the throttle in a fully closed position, the water jet ejected from the water jet pump is little, making it difficult to turn the watercraft. By way of example, Japanese Laid-Open Patent Application Publication No. 2001-191992 discloses a steering assist function to assist in enhancing steering function when the throttle is in a fully closed position and thereby the steering function degrades. More specifically, steering tabs (movable tabs) which are movable and are capable of being submerged in water, are caused to provide different propulsion resistances to the right and to the left to assist in turning the watercraft. In the above configuration, however, since the steering tabs are typically configured to cooperate with the steering handle, they may provide an undesired turning capability during travel in medium and high speed ranges, if the watercraft is configured to fully perform the steering assist function during low-speed travel.

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com. After Republican Rep. Steve Scalise was shot yesterday, many liberals on twitter CELEBRATED and said things like, “The Only Good Fascist is a Dead One.” “That’s a Shame but babies blown to bits at Sandy Hook was worse and Scalise takes money from the @NRA” “If the shooter has a serious health condition then is taking potshots at the GOP leadership considered self defense?” “If KKK support Steve Scalise dies, the shooter deserves a holiday, true leadership. Now the trumps, kush, & miller need to be transitioned.” Is it any wonder? The most prominent liberals in America regularly accuse conservatives of being racist, sexist, Nazis, fascists who want children to die and are killing the planet and ruining the environment all because of their hate of the poor and minorities. Liberals today aim a nastier stream of propaganda at Republicans than America did at the Nazis; so is it any wonder that some people take the next logical step and become violent? Meanwhile, you have plays, rap videos and prominent liberals glorifying the murder of the President, liberals applauding unrepentant terrorists like Bill Ayers, all while cops at left-wing universities stand back and allow violent students to riot, threaten and disrupt conservative speakers. We’re moving fast towards a point where clashes between armed gangs of thugs on both sides will leave people dead because liberals believe conservatives aren’t human beings and thus, don’t deserve the same protection under the law. I’m not going to blame Bernie Sanders for the shooter who supported him or say that liberals and Democrats should be held personally responsible for it. The only person responsible for what the shooter did was the shooter. However, this sort of political violence is doomed to grow ever more common and bloodier unless liberal Democrats start changing the sort of rhetoric they engage in on a regular basis. Rhetoric like this… 1) "Michele (Bachmann), slit your wrist. Go ahead... or, do us all a better thing [sic]. Move that knife up about two feet. Start right at the collarbone." -- Montel Williams 2) “F*ck that dude. I’ll smack that f*cker’s comb-over right off his f*cking scalp. Like, for real, if I met Donald Trump, I’d punch him in his f*cking face. And that’s not a joke. Even if he did become president — watch out, Donald Trump, because I will punch you in your f*cking face if I ever meet you. Secret Service had better just f*cking be on it. Don’t let me anywhere within a block.”– Rapper Everlast on Donald Trump 3) “I have zero doubt that if Dick Cheney was not in power, people wouldn’t be dying needlessly tomorrow….I’m just saying if he did die, other people, more people would live. That’s a fact.” — Bill Maher 4) “I know how the ‘tea party’ people feel, the anger, venom and bile that many of them showed during the recent House vote on health-care reform. I know because I want to spit on them, take one of their “Obama Plan White Slavery” signs and knock every racist and homophobic tooth out of their Cro-Magnon heads.” — The Washington Post’s Courtland Milloy 5) “F*** God D*mned Joe the God D*mned Motherf*cking plumber! I want Motherf*cking Joe the plumber dead.” — Liberal talk show host Charles Karel Bouley on the air. 6) “Are you angry? [Yeah!] Are you angry? [Yeah!] Are you angry? [Yeah!] Well, we’ve been watching intifada in Palestine, we’ve been watching an uprising in Iraq, and the question is that what are we doing? How come we don’t have an intifada in this country? Because it seem[s] to me, that we are comfortable in where we are, watching CNN, ABC, NBC, Fox, and all these mainstream… giving us a window to the world while the world is being managed from Washington, from New York, from every other place in here in San Francisco: Chevron, Bechtel, [Carlyle?] Group, Halliburton; every one of those lying, cheating, stealing, deceiving individuals are in our country and we’re sitting here and watching the world pass by, people being bombed, and it’s about time that we have an intifada in this country that change[s] fundamentally the political dynamics in here. And we know every – They’re gonna say some Palestinian being too radical — well, you haven’t seen radicalism yet.” U.C. Berkeley Lecturer Hatem Bazian fires up the crowd at an anti-war rally by calling for an American intifada 7) "That Scott down there that's running for governor of Florida. Instead of running for governor of Florida, they ought to have him and shoot him. Put him against the wall and shoot him. He stole billions of dollars from the United States government and he's running for governor of Florida. He's a millionaire and a billionaire. He's no hero. He's a damn crook. It's just we don't prosecute big crooks." -- Rep. Paul Kanjorski, D-Pa 8) “..And then there’s Rumsfeld who said of Iraq ‘We have our good days and our bad days.’ We should put this S.O.B. up against a wall and say ‘This is one of our bad days’ and pull the trigger. Do you want to salvage our country? Be a savior of our country? Then vote for John Kerry and get rid of the whole Bush Bunch.” — From a fund raising ad put out by the St. Petersburg Democratic Club 9) “Republicans don’t believe in the imagination, partly because so few of them have one, but mostly because it gets in the way of their chosen work, which is to destroy the human race and the planet. Human beings, who have imaginations, can see a recipe for disaster in the making; Republicans, whose goal in life is to profit from disaster and who don’t give a hoot about human beings, either can’t or won’t. Which is why I personally think they should be exterminated before they cause any more harm.” — The Village Voice’s Michael Feingold, in a theater review of all places 10) “But the victim is also inaccurately being eulogized as a kind and loving religious man. Make no mistake, as disgusting and deservedly dead as the hate-filled fanatical Muslim killers were, Thalasinos was also a hate-filled bigot. Death can’t change that. But in the U.S., we don’t die for speaking our minds. Or we’re not supposed to anyway. Thalasinos was an anti-government, anti-Islam, pro-NRA, rabidly anti-Planned Parenthood kinda guy, who posted that it would be “Freaking Awesome” if hateful Ann Coulter was named head of Homeland Security.” — Linda Stasi, New York Daily News,on a victim murdered in the San Bernadino terrorist attack 11) “Cheney deserves same final end he gave Saddam. Hope there are cell cams.” — Rep. Chuck Kruger (D-Thomaston) 12) “If I had my way, I would see Katherine Harris and Ken Blackwell strapped down to electric chairs and lit up like Christmas trees. The better to light the way for American Democracy and American Freedom!” — Democratic Talk Radio’s Stephen Crockett 13) “May your children all die from debilitating, painful and incurable diseases.” — Allan Brauer, the communications chair of the Democratic Party of Sacramento County to Ted Cruz staffer Amanda Carpenter 14) “Violence solves nothing. I want a rhino to f*ck @SpeakerRyan to death with its horn because it's FUNNY, not because he's a #GOPmurderbro.” – Jos Whedon 15) “I hope Roger Ailes dies slow, painful, and soon. The evil that man has done to the American tapestry is unprecedented for an individual.” — Think Progress editorAlan Pyke 16) “But, you know, the NRA members are the current incarnation of the brownshirts from Germany back in the early ’30s, late ’20s, early ’30s. Now, of course, there came the Night of the Long Knives when the brownshirts were slaughtered and dumped in the nearest ditches when the power structure finally got tired of them. So I look forward to that day.” — Mike Malloy 17) "Or pick up a baseball bat and take out every f*cking republican and independent I see. #f*cktrump, #f*cktheGOP, #f*ckstraightwhiteamerica, #f*ckyourprivilege." -- Orange is the New Black star Lea DeLaria responding to a meme about using music to deal with violence 18) “I wish they (Republicans) were all f*cking dead!” — Dan Savage 19) “Sarah Palin needs to have her hair shaved off to a buzz cut, get headf*cked by a big veiny, ashy, black d*ck then be locked in a cupboard.” — Azealia Banks advocates raping Sarah Palin over a fake news story 20)” Yes, I’m angry. Yes, I’m outraged. Yes, I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House, but I know that this won’t change anything." -- Madonna

The innermost of the veils of nothingness, the last emanation before being itself and a bunch of other absurd qabalistic bullshit. Man, "ain-soph-aur." That shit comes right after "ain-soph," and right before "kether" in the successive abstractions of the existential and near-mathematical progression from nothingness to abstract being to manifestation envisioned by some crazy jewish dudes a couple thousand years ago.

Share this: NOT that I’ve majored in archbishops or anything, but a first meet ‘n’ greet with St. Patrick’s newest CEO brings up one Prince of the Church ago. John Cardinal O’Connor. Easy smile. Loved a joke. Once showed me his bedroom, and the inside of his personal closet. Would invite to his private quarters for an Irish oatmeal and Jewish bagel breakfast. His Eminence remained as accessible as he always told you God was. Those same vibes radiate from Archbishop Timothy Dolan. The man has it together. Milwaukee, Shmilwaukee, he’s in a New York frame of mind. In town maybe a day and a half, he already knows the players. Reaching over bodies to shake hands with our head fireman Nicholas Scoppetta, he said, “Thanks, commissioner, for your help.” He also sent a handwritten note promising Steinbrenner to be at the stadium tomorrow and saying he’s doing a personal prayer for him. The installation was called for 1:30. All dressed in a hat and proper Sunday-go-to-meetin’ skirt suit, I was told I’d be picked up 1 p.m. because we were only a few blocks away. Next phone call: “The streets will be cordoned off. To get through the traffic, better say 12:45.” Next phone call: “We’ll never make it if we leave that late. How’s 12:30?” We left close to noon. The archdiocese had established some sort of command center, so heavy were the requests for seats. Although this was no political rally, masses of pols angled for the best location. Timothy Dolan alone had found his. The cathedral has places for 2,300 although, with extra folding chairs like for a wedding or bar mitzvah, they can stuff in 3,500 people. But this time only a few got a pew with a view. Certain colored tickets meant center aisle. For VIPs, it got you past guys with earpieces. One of the earliest arrivals, whose advance man awaited him on the sidewalk, was Bloomberg, who may want private lessons from Dolan. Not in church catechism. In church knocking. His Excellency rapped on the door to get into St. Pat’s, and Hizzoner wants that same shtick to open City Hall’s doors a third time. Grinned Mike: “But I don’t think they’ll loan me that hammer.” A tieless gent in yellowish leather jacket held a leash leading a Lab same color as his jacket. “Plainclothes policeman. Bomb-sniffing dog,” whispered someone. A tall man in navy suit and red tie, introduced as “the archbishop’s bodyguard,” demurred with: “Let’s just say I’m his friend.” Back to back with Pataki‘s old chum Ambassador Charles Gargano came chef Lidia Bastianich. Not just because she’d catered His Holiness the Pope’s dinner here last year, but because the faithful seem faithful to her cooking show, even priests waved with: “Love you on TV.” Despite everyone proper and respectful as befitted the occasion, I was nearly bounced from my assigned spot. An usher looked at me and said: “No. Can’t sit here. This area’s for former mayors. Like Dinkins.” I showed him my tickets. I got my seat. I never did see Dinkins, so either he didn’t show or they stuck him on 78th Street. Down front in what on Broadway would be the orchestra’s Double-A seats — Speaker Christine Quinn. After a group photo with two bishops, she cracked: “It’s my next Christmas card.” Next to her, fresh from Ireland, her father. Smack in front of me — top cop Ray Kelly. “Am I a good Catholic?” he said. “I wouldn’t use that word ‘good.’ But I did go to Catholic school.” And former Gov. Hugh Carey, who, after the lengthy processional stretched so long that it seemed the same Knights of Malta had come around twice, sat out the rest while the whole cathedral stood. Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Hackett were told to squeeze in alongside me. He, president of Catholic Relief Services, explained: “Timothy Dolan is our CEO. Your New York Post newspaper had him on the front page the other day. We sent that to all our workers around the world.” Although, to me, this alone should have entitled him to a throne, in came Judith and Rudith, and the Hacketts couldn’t hack it. They were made to surrender their places. Immediately when the Giulianis arrived, a voice from behind our heads rang out: “I’ll vote for you for governor, Rudy.” Across the aisle sat beloved cop Steven McDonald, so badly wounded in 1986 that he remains forever a quadriplegic in a wheelchair. Instantly Rudy got up to shake his hand. As I left, a nun dropped her scarf. I picked it up. “God bless you,” she said. Seems like He’s blessed the whole city.

Warning This page is outdated (and broken since the VVVV site update). But since some people might be curious how i used to describe myself when i was first starting with vvvv, i'll leave it up. Images are broken now. Me Hey all. I'm a visualist freelance based in Manchester, UK. My nomenclature is split into 3: live visualist name is gvilt (pronounced guilt) real name is Elliot Woods but on this website i'm found as sugokuGENKI Below are some of the projects I gone done recently. Projection mapping My best examples of projection mapping have been produced for studio dotdotdot in Milan. The following installation demonstrates the workings of an oven used to bake ceramic objects (in this example, sinks and shower basins). The installation is a narrative animation, beginning with simple lighting effects on the dull clay objects, then the processes of scanning, burning and then lastly finalising the new shiny objects. These processes are demonstrated by manipulating the images on the surface of the objects using projection mapping. Here's an early video of the project which is projected onto a polystyrene maquette, photos of the final installation follow, where the clay full size models were used at the exhibition. [http://www.vimeo.com/2152186| ] gvilt live graphics My live visualist residency is at a friend's electro night at The Roadhouse in Manchester called Sex With Robots. The visuals have been going since October 08 and are a continuous work in progress.

Last month, it seemed as though Ireland Baldwin was taking her quest for attention to the next level by playing kissyface with openly pansexual rapper Angel Haze. It turns out, I’ve got to eat my words because this isn’t some fly-by-night hook up- these two are in a serious lesbian relationship and they fuck each other regularly. You’ll have to excuse my harsh language – that’s just a direct quote from Angel herself. “I don’t know if there’s like some confirm or deny thing with the way relationships work in the media, but everyone just calls us best friends, best friends for life, like we’re just friends hanging out,” she told The Independent. “It’s funny. It’s rad in some ways, it sucks in others.” … “An interracial gay couple, I mean that’s just weird for America right now. We fuck and friends don’t fuck. I have never fucked one of my friends. Once I see you in that way, it doesn’t happen. “But we do fuck and it’s crazy and that’s weird to say because I think about it in terms of an audience reading it and them thinking, ‘What the hell?’ But it happens.” Knock yourselves out, ladies. I actually think they make a pretty attractive couple. Do I think Ireland Baldwin has signed up for a life of lesbian domestic bliss? Of course not. I think this is temporary at best, but I gotta root for the team, eh? As a lesbian myself, there was no shade here. However, those who have known of Ireland Baldwin wouldn’t have known her in lesbian/gay relationships. Were she in all lesbian relationships before, no doubt the headline would have been about “Ireland Baldwin’s new boyfriend” etc. I get where you’re coming from, but the motivation for this wasn’t that deep.

The Rangers have claimed righty Deck McGuire off waivers from the Blue Jays, per a club announcement. He’ll be optioned to Triple-A. The Texas organization has also shifted righty Matt Bush to the 10-day DL with what is being called a right elbow strain. Southpaws Yohander Mendez and Brandon Mann have been called up to the MLB roster from Round Rock. McGuire was designated for assignment recently after throwing 9 1/3 middling innings for the Jays. But he produced solid results last year in his first, brief MLB action and has been effective at Triple-A over the past two seasons. Bush just hasn’t pitched to his prior standard thus far in 2018. His upper-nineties heater is down about a tick on average, his swinging-strike rate has dropped to 9.4%, and he’s averaging just 7.4 K/9 with 5.5 BB/9 along with a 4.70 ERA that may understate his struggles somewhat.

“Resting bitch face, also known as RBF, or bitchy resting face (BRF), is a facial expression that unintentionally appears as if a person is angry, annoyed, irritated, or contemptuous, particularly when the individual is relaxed, resting or not expressing any particular emotion.” #dressforyourself

I was going to commend him for his helmet use, but then I noticed that not only is his daughter NOT wearing a helmet, she is also scootering in sandals and without hand, knee or elbow protection. Then I also noticed that his helmet isn't even on properly.Dontcha just love Hollywood types? I was going to commend him for his helmet use, but then I noticed that not only is his daughter NOT wearing a helmet, she is also scootering in sandals and without hand, knee or elbow protection. Then I also noticed that his helmet isn't even on properly. I'm so happy that millions of my fellow countrymen/women (parents and all) are not wagging their finger…or wearing any of these silly contraptions. "Insane! They're gonna die! So irresponsible!

Ewing's sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumor (ES/PNET) of the penis. Ewing's sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumor (ES/PNET) of the penis has been very rarely defined. We report a case of a 19-year-old patient with a tumor, localized in the dorsal side of penis, composed of small round cells with diffuse membranous mic-2 (CD99) immunopositivity. The patient was treated with multiagent chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Exatamente 61 anos atrás, 4 de outubro de 1957, a turma do “nosso céu nunca será vermelho” teve uma horrenda surpresa. Um bip-bip repetidos nos noticiários de TV e rádio era a voz de uma lua artificial, um satélite criado pelo Homem e colocado em órbita não pelos EUA, a nação mais avançada da Terra, mas pelos seus inimigos russos comunistas. A percepção geral era que os comunistas eram atrasados e burocráticos, os Estados Unidos se sentiam seguros separados pela distância geográfica e tecnológica, as pesquisas com mísseis estavam em andamento e ninguém achava que os soviéticos desenvolveriam algo relevante por um longo tempo. Em tese não estavam errados, mas esqueceram que mesmo uma burocracia soviética, quando focada em um objetivo e o chicote comendo, produz resultados. No caso, pânico e confusão. As pessoas ficaram apavoradas, houve gente achando que os russos haviam colocado bombas atômicas no espaço, o efeito simbólico e psicológico do Sputnik abalou os EUA enquanto nação. Arthur Clarke disse que no momento em que o Sputnik foi colocado em órbita os EUA se tornaram uma Potência de segunda classe. Universidades e radioamadores captavam seus sinais, transmitidos em 20,005 MHz e 40,002 MHz. Usando dados de observações de rádio astrônomos da Universidade de Illinois conseguiram programar o ILLIAC I, primeiro computador de uma instituição de ensino nos EUA para calcular a órbita do satélite, e ele levou apenas dois dias pra fazer os cálculos! O público se assustava de noite vendo o Sputnik passar pelo céu, observando um país indefeso. Nikita Krushev, premiê da União Soviético e dono de um estilo quase trumpesco tirou onda dizendo que os americanos iriam dormir sob uma lua soviética. O Sputnik era uma esfera de metal de 83,6 kg e 58 cm de diâmetro. Projetado para durar duas semanas, suas baterias resistiram por 21 dias, mas seus efeitos são vistos até hoje. Enquanto o grande público se apavorava vendo o pontinho brilhante no céu, nos laboratórios e escritórios do Pentágono o medo era outro. O Sputnik era simbólico, sim, mas a verdadeira mensagem estava no foguete R-7, essencialmente um míssil balístico intercontinental levemente modificado, ele demonstrou que seria capaz de lançar uma carga capaz de atingir os EUA, e se as bombas atômicas da época ainda não eram tão pequenas e leves quanto o Sputnik, isso era uma questão de tempo. Em teoria os EUA deveriam ter feito um lançamento em setembro, e colocado em órbita o Vanguard-1, que seria o primeiro satélite artificial, mas uma série de atrasos e confiança que os soviéticos não lançariam tão cedo adiaram a data. Por baixo dos panos os EUA estavam sofrendo de uma burocratite soviética que deixaria Stalin envergonhado. Havia nada menos que TRÊS projetos simultâneos de satélites sendo desenvolvidos, um pelo exército, outro pela marinha e outro pela força aérea. A Força Aérea estava desenvolvendo o PGM-17 Thor, mas o míssil estava bem atrasado e modificá-lo para servir como lançador de satélites consumiria mais tempo ainda. O Exército tinha um programa conjunto com a Marinha, começado em 1954 para colocar um satélite em órbita em 1957, Ano Geofísico Internacional, mas os planos de adaptar um foguete Jupiter-C para lançamento foi rejeitado pelo presidente Eisenhower. O racional é que os soviéticos não gostariam de um foguete militar lançando um satélite militar que sobrevoaria a União Soviética. A proposta da Marinha era, no papel, mais inofensiva. Eles queriam usar o Vanguard, um foguete criado com a junção de dois foguetes de sondagem civis. O Exército por sua vez continuou a desenvolver o Jupiter-C e sua versão lançadora de satélites com 4 estágios, o Juno, mas como era um foguete militar estratégico, mesmo pronto em 1956 ele foi cancelado, em parte para agradar a Marinha, que não estava feliz com o desenvolvimento paralelo. O resultado é que quando o Sputnik foi lançado em 4 de outubro, todo mundo entrou em pânico e para tentar livrar a cara, correram para lançar de qualquer jeito. Em seis de dezembro de 1957 um foguete Vanguard TV-3 levou para o espaço o primeiro satélite americano, o Vanguard-1. Se você considerar uma altitude de 1 m 20 cm espaço, claro. Aqui o glorioso lançamento, transmitido ao vivo pela TV para todo o pais: O satélite foi jogado longe, começou a transmitir e um jornalista chegou a sugerir que alguém fosse até lá e desse um tiro pra livrar o coitado de sua miséria. Não seria grande perda. O Vanguard-1 era uma bola pífia de 1,4 kg de peso e 16 cm de diâmetro. Krushev, com seu humor habitual chamou o Vanguard-1 de “satélite-toranja”. No meio disso tudo, extremamente puto estava Werner Von Braun, ele comandava o desenvolvimento de mísseis do Exército, foi obrigado a encaixotar o Juno e disse com todas as letras que sabia que o Vanguard não iria funcionar, e que eles poderiam ter colocado um satélite no espaço em 60 dias. O empurrão que faltava foi o lançamento em 3 de novembro de 1957 do Sputnik 2, com nada menos e 508 kg de massa. Era preciso salvar a cara dos EUA de qualquer jeito. Sem opção, Eisenhower deu carta-branca para Von Braun, que reunindo sua equipe tirou o Juno da naftalina e correu para preparar o bicho, atualizando circuitos, adaptando o satélite Explorer-1, de 13 kg e 2 metros, mostrado aqui em uma foto clássica sendo erguido pelo Dr. William H. Pickering, diretor do JPL, onde o satélite foi construído, pelo Dr. James A. van Allen, roqueiro e cientista responsável pelos instrumentos e o Dr. Wernher von Braun, pica das galáxias. Em primeiro de fevereiro de 1958 o Explorer-1 se tornou o terceiro objeto em órbita lançado pelo Homem, um pequeno alívio para o público, mas a sensação de que estavam em segundo lugar só se solidificou. (Sim, isso foi em 1958 e nossa gloriosa agência espacial ainda não conseguiu desenvolver essa incrível e avançada tecnologia. Se inventassem um foguete movido a desculpas o Brasil estaria colonizando Alfa-Centauro). Verbas foram despejadas na área militar para desenvolvimento de foguetes e mísseis, mas as cabeças pensantes do governo entenderam que o buraco era mais embaixo. Em fevereiro de 1958 o Presidente criou a DARPA, a Agência de Projetos Avançados de Pesquisa, e em 29 de julho criou a NASA. No mesmo ano o Congresso aprovou o National Defense Education Act, uma legislação que investia em Educação em todos os níveis. Foram aplicados o equivalente hoje a US$ 8,7 bilhões aparelhando escolas, dando bolsas de estudo, capacitando professores e estimulando crianças e jovens a seguirem carreira em STEM, sigla em inglês para Ciência, Tecnologia, Engenharia e Matemática. Você não, Tedson. A visão era de longo prazo como raramente se vê em governos sérios e nunca se viu aqui no Patropi. Os EUA estavam educando as crianças que virariam os engenheiros que projetariam os mísseis foguetes e submarinos do futuro. A National Science Foundation teve seu orçamento aumentado de US$ 296 milhões (corrigidos) para US$ 1,1 bilhão. Em 1968 o orçamento já era US$ 4,6 bilhões. A NASA custeava e fomentava pesquisas a ponto de chegar a bancar 10% das pesquisas pagas com dinheiro do governo. Alguns dizem que o modelo moderno de pesquisa acadêmica nos EUA surgiu por causa do Sputnik. Quando Kennedy se comprometeu em 1961 a mandar um homem para a Lua ele sabia que não seria fácil, mas também sabia que não seria impossível, pois eles estavam investindo em pessoas, não em máquinas, e quando você educa a capacita toda uma geração, o céu não é mais o limite.

Q: use tf.nn.dynamic_rnn but final state don't have c and h I'm working with tensorflow, I want run a program with RNN, but I got the followed error: a=self._encoder_final_state[0].c AttributeError: 'Tensor' object has no attribute 'c' the program is like this: self._encoder_cells = build_rnn_layers( cell_type=self._hparams.cell_type, num_units_per_layer=self._num_units_per_layer, use_dropout=self._hparams.use_dropout, dropout_probability=self._hparams.dropout_probability, mode=self._mode, residual_connections=self._hparams.residual_encoder, highway_connections=self._hparams.highway_encoder, dtype=self._hparams.dtype, ) self._encoder_outputs, self._encoder_final_state = tf.nn.dynamic_rnn( cell=self._encoder_cells, inputs=encoder_inputs, sequence_length=self._inputs_len, parallel_iterations=self._hparams.batch_size[0 if self._mode == 'train' else 1], swap_memory=False, dtype=self._hparams.dtype, scope=scope, ) a=self._encoder_final_state[0].c A: From the docs of dynamic_rnn: If cells are LSTMCells state will be a tuple containing a LSTMStateTuple for each cell. And here you can see that indeed LSTMStateTuple are the ones having the desired c and h properties. Unfortunately, your code doesn't give me any clue what kind of cells you are using, but apparently, they are no LSTMCells. So I cannot give you any better advise than to switch to LSTMCells.

A group helmed by a major donor and policy adviser to Democratic Senate candidate Michele Nunn is under investigation by the Georgia secretary of State for alleged voter fraud. Secretary of State Brian Kemp (R) said in a memo, reported by WSB-TV, that his office has “received numerous complaints about voter applications submitted by the New Georgia Project,” an organization launched to register and turn out voters to the polls. ADVERTISEMENT “Preliminary investigation has revealed significant illegal activities, including forged voter registration applications, forged signatures on releases, and applications with false or inaccurate information,” Kemp wrote in the memo. Nunn is running against Republican David Perdue for a Senate seat left open by the retirement of Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.). Democrats see the race as a pick-up opportunity in a year where they are largely playing defense. Most polls have shown a close race, with Perdue leading Nunn by three points in the most recent survey, conducted earlier this month. Republicans are seizing on the allegations against the New Georgia Project to tarnish Nunn, suggesting the group was part of a larger effort by Democrats to “expand the electorate by any means necessary.” “The serious allegations of illegal activities and potential fraud from liberal voter registration groups are outrageous and should be investigated to the fullest extent of the law,” said Perdue spokeswoman Megan Whittemore. The New Georgia Project and its parent organization, Third Sector Development, were issued subpoenas this week demanding documents relating to the allegations be turned over to the Georgia Election Board by Sept. 19. Third Sector Development is run by Georgia House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams (D), who has contributed to Nunn’s campaign and was listed on an official campaign strategy document as a proposed member of a group of potential policy advisers. Abrams said in a statement she was “saddened” by the subpoenas, and that the group is working to comply with them. “The abrupt release of this subpoena saddens me as I know the efforts of this organization have been done with the mission of increasing voter registration and engagement in the most disadvantaged and underserved groups in the state,” she said. “The New Georgia Project team has worked directly with the Secretary of State’s Office every step of the way, seeking to address any concerns raised by their office or by the counties, to share information and be transparent on our work.” A spokesman for the group, Rev. Dr. Raphael Warnock, said he was hopeful “that this investigation by the Secretary of State is not intended to thwart efforts to enfranchise voters." Perdue's campaign accused the group of tampering with the election process. “The fact that an organization led by a well-known Nunn supporter would attempt to illegally register voters is unacceptable and reminiscent of the Obama-political machine’s ACORN scandal. There is nothing more fundamental to our democratic process than maintaining the integrity of our elections and any attempt to tamper with them is deplorable.”

Best ways to fuck over your mate whilst he's asleep. NSFW So ye recently been doing my mate over whilst hes sleeping for my own pleasure, you know standard shit, human buckaroo, nandos sauce in the eyes. It's come to the point were it's getting a bit repetitive so I'm looking for some inspiration. Anyone got any good pranks? doesn't have to be whilst the targets asleep. Here's an idea. Wait untill ur mate is lying on his back, put a sheet of paper on his chest, take a crap on the paper, set the paper's tips on fire with a lighter, wake him up with screams, watch him try to put out the fire. If everything goes according to plan ur mate will be fucking scared and his arms will be covered with shit. Kidnap everyone within a 20 mile radius of his house, and burn everything except his house within the exclusion zone, then somehow scorch the sky so it goes a red colour, leave just one burnt child on a swing. Teach a midget polar bear how to talk and get it to explain to him that they are the only 2 left on Earth and it is up to them to repopulate the planet. Then 50 years later, when hes on his death bed reveal to him it was a hoax, and that the Polar Bear was already pregnant before they met and that the 5 children he had fathered and cared for were not actually his.

887 F.2d 1088 Unpublished DispositionNOTICE: Sixth Circuit Rule 24(c) states that citation of unpublished dispositions is disfavored except for establishing res judicata, estoppel, or the law of the case and requires service of copies of cited unpublished dispositions of the Sixth Circuit.UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellant,v.Leon Winford LOWE, Defendant-Appellee. No. 88-6149. United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit. Oct. 12, 1989. 1 Before NATHANIEL R. JONES and MILBURN, Circuit Judges, and SAM H. BELL, District Judge*. 2 Defendant, Leon Winford Lowe, appeals his jury conviction for bank robbery. For the following reasons, we affirm. I. 3 Two branches of the Cumberland Federal Savings Bank (Cumberland) in Louisville, Kentucky were robbed on three occasions during August 1987. Witnesses in the banks gave a physical description of the robber and each noted that he wore short pants underneath long pants, running shoes, a cap and a stocking on his head. During the second robbery, the robber put all of the money, including a security packet which contained a dye bomb, in the front of his pants. When he left the bank, the dye bomb "exploded" and he discarded the packet. 4 As a result of these three robberies, Cumberland circulated a description of the robber to all of its branches. On August 28, 1987, the manager of a branch of the Cumberland bank saw a man that matched the physical description looking into one of the windows of the bank. Based on the man's physical characteristics and the fact that he was wearing a stocking cap on his head, the manager called the police. When the police confronted Lowe, he was wearing two shirts, long pants over shorts, running shoes and a cap and stocking on his head. They asked Lowe if they could examine his abdomen for burn marks. Although Lowe claims that he never consented to this "search," the officers looked at the area around his abdomen and discovered burn marks which were in the process of healing. 5 On September 1, 1987, after being arrested, Lowe signed a typewritten confession which had been prepared by the police. Lowe claims that the police offered him federal prosecution and promised to sentence him to a co-ed prison if he cooperated with them. Lowe also states that the police threatned to arrest his sister, his brother and his girlfriend if he refused to confess to the robberies. The Government claims, however, that the police promised only that Lowe would be prosecuted in federal court and that the prosecutor would be informed of Lowe's cooperation. 6 Before trial, Lowe requested that the Government provide technical evidence concerning the scientific nature of a dye bomb. Although the Government initially refused Lowe's request, it ultimately supplied this evidence at trial. In addition, an FBI agent testified that the dye bombs contain an artificially created substance known as methyl amino anthraquinone (MAAQ), that leaves a trace in the skin. 7 At trial, the court admitted in evidence information concerning Lowe's 1981 convictions for bank robbery. The Government introduced this evidence through FBI Agent Stephen Shimar, who admitted that he did not personally retrieve Lowe's FBI files, that he was not responsible for maintaining the files, that he was not employed by the FBI in 1981 when the file was opened, and that he did not know whether the copy of Lowe's typewritten, unsigned confession contained in the FBI file was actually Lowe's original confession. 8 After the first day of jury deliberations, the court granted a recess and told the jury to return the next morning. When the jury returned the following morning, the judge had not yet arrived and the federal Marshal escorted the jury to the jury room where they remained until the judge arrived. It is disputed whether the Marshal read any instructions to the jury or whether, in fact, whether the Marshal even talked to any member of the jury. Later that morning, the jury returned the guilty verdicts against Lowe. II. 9 On appeal, Lowe presents two challenges to the district court's decision to admit in evidence his prior bank robberies. Lowe claims that the evidence unduly prejudice him and that the Government failed to properly authenticate his alleged admission. A trial court's decision on the admission of evidence is reviewed pursuant to an abuse of discretion standard. Schrand v. Federal Pacific Elec. Co., 851 F.2d 152, 157 (6th Cir.1988). "In the context of an evidentiary ruling, abuse of discretion exists when the reviewing court is firmly convinced that a mistake has been made." Id. (citations omitted). A. 10 Fed.R.Evid. 403 provides that relevant evidence may nevertheless "be excluded if its probative value is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice." In addition, Rule 404(b) provides that while evidence of other crimes "is not admissible to prove the character of a person," evidence of past crimes "may, however, be admissible for other purposes, such as proof of motive, opportunity, intent, preparation, plan knowledge, identity, or absence of mistake or accident." Lowe relies heavily on United States v. Myers, 550 F.2d 1036 (5th Cir.1977), cert. denied, 439 U.S. 847 (1978), to support his claim that evidence concerning the 1981 convictions should have been excluded. The Myers court stated that, prior to admitting evidence of prior crimes, the Government is required to clearly and convincingly prove the similarity between the crimes. Id. at 1044. In addition, the court stated that the other crimes must not be too remote in time from the charged offense and the element of the charged offense that the evidence of other crimes is introduced to prove must be a material issue in the case. Id. In United States v. Phillips, 599 F.2d 134 (6th Cir.1979), this court discussed the admissibility of evidence of prior crimes and we noted that "[s]omething more than repeated performance of the same class of crimes is required in evidencing a 'design' or 'plan' which, if proved, may raise the inference that the accused was the perpetrator of the crime in question." Id. at 136. We stressed that "there must either be an agreement to commit a series of crimes, a 'plan,' or there must be a distinctive pattern" involved in the crimes before evidence of prior crimes could be admitted. Id. 11 Turning to the instant action, the Government contends that evidence concerning the 1981 bank robberies was admissible because of the similarities of the robberies in 1981 and 1987: the series of robberies occurred in one week intervals; a similar mask was worn; similar notes were given in both cases; and, the robber immediately changed clothes after each robbery. Lowe argues that this evidence does not indicate that a similar modus operandi was used in both robberies and that, in fact, this evidence would relate to virtually any bank robbery. Although the proof of the 1981 crimes is convincing and the proof is not too remote, we find some merit in Lowe's claim that there is no distinctive pattern involving the 1981 and 1987 robberies. However, we are not reviewing this case de novo and this court has noted "that great deference to the district court's weighing" in Rule 403 cases "is appropriate." United States v. Metzger, 778 F.2d 1195, 1206 (6th Cir.1985), cert. denied, 477 U.S. 906 (1986). Further, we stressed in Metzger that "even if on a de novo review this court were inclined to agree with defendant," we should only reverse when the case presents "a set of facts so egregious that deference to the district court is inappropriate." Id. Because there was other evidence (including Lowe's confession) which linked Lowe to the robberies and because the facts in this case are not "so egregious" that it is clear that the evidence of prior acts substantially outweighed its probative value, we find that the district court did not abuse its discretion in admitting evidence concerning the 1981 bank robberies. B. 12 Lowe also claims that because Agent Shimar admitted that he was not personally involved in preparing Lowe's FBI file, the contents of the file were not properly admitted under the hearsay exception for business records provided in Fed.R.Evid. 803(6). In United States v. Hathaway, 798 F.2d 902, 906 (6th Cir.1986), this court stated that "[w]hen a witness is used to lay the foundation for admitting records under Rule 803(6), all that is required is that the witness be familiar with the record keeping system." We further noted that "federal law favors the admission of evidence which has any probative value at all," and stressed that "on review, we will reverse the district court's decision only if we find a clear abuse of discretion." Id. (Emphasis in original). Because Agent Shimar testified that he was familiar with the FBI record keeping system, the district court properly admitted the contents of Lowe's 1981 file in evidence. III. 13 Lowe's second claim is that the district court should have excluded his confession from evidence because he confessed based on his fear that the police would prosecute his brother, sister and girlfriend if he did not confess. In United States v. Murphy, 763 F.2d 202 (6th Cir.1985) cert. denied, Stauffer v. United States, 474 U.S. 1063 (1986), this court stated that the test to determine "voluntariness is whether the confession was the product of free and rational choice, with the focus on the state of mind of the accused at the time the confession was made." Id. at 205. "In determining whether an accused's will has been overborne, courts look to the totality of the circumstances surrounding the confession and determine their psychological impact on the accused's ability to resist pressures to confess." Id. We noted, however, that "[i]n determining voluntariness, a reviewing court will not disturb the trial court's findings of the specific external occurrences and events surrounding the confession unless clear error appears on the record." Id. at 206. 14 In deciding Lowe's motion to suppress the confession, the district court found that Lowe's confession was freely given. (Cf. Murphy, supra 763 F.2d at 204, where this court held that the defendant's confession was not the product of free will and rational choice because it was given after a police dog "attacked" him "dragged him out from under" a tree and remained "on top of him.") Assuming, arguendo, that the police did tell Lowe that they would prosecute his sister, brother and girlfriend if he refused to provide a confession, the totality of the circumstances surrounding Lowe's confession indicates that the confession was the product of free will and rational choice. Thus, we conclude that district court did not err in denying Lowe's pre-trial motion to suppress his confession or in admitting the confession in evidence at trial. IV. 15 Lowe claims that the court should have dismissed the charges against him because the Government failed to establish venue or set forth the elements of the crime in its opening argument. Because venue was established in the indictment, which was read to the jury, we reject this claim. Lowe also claims that his conviction should be reversed because he was not given an opportunity to request that the jury be sequestered and because the jurors were escorted to the jury room by the Federal Marshal. Because there is no federal constitutional right to sequestration and because "[b]rief encounters between a juror and another person ... do not violate the accused's right to a trial by an impartial jury," we also reject these claims. Powell v. Rose, 581 F.Supp. 60 (M.D.Tenn.1983), aff'd, 727 F.2d 1110 (6th Cir.1984). 16 Finally, we reject Lowe's argument that the court abused its discretion in denying his initial request for scientific data concerning dye bombs. Although Lowe received the scientific evidence at trial, he claims that if he had received this evidence earlier, he could have introduced medical evidence which showed the absence of MAAQ in his skin. Because Lowe was ultimately provided with the data at trial and because Lowe could have hired an expert to analyze the dye bomb before trial, the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying this discovery request. V. 17 For the above-stated reasons, we AFFIRM the district court's judgment. * Honorable Sam H. Bell, United States District Judge for the Northern District of Ohio, sitting by designation

[Forensic psychiatric examinations of the mentally retarded]. 3,343 forensic psychiatric examinations were recorded in Norway from 1980 to 1996. 294 patients were diagnosed as mentally retarded. The annual number of mentally retarded persons increased during the observation period, but the relative percentage remained stable. The majority of the retarded persons being discussed had been charged with sexual felony, and some with arson. About half had previous convictions. Few had problems with alcohol or other intoxicants. Every fourth retarded person examined was considered not only to be mentally retarded, but also to suffer from other psychiatric disorders. We discuss to what extent deinstitutionalization of retarded persons and the accompanying social isolation they experience could contribute to the increase in maladaption and criminal behaviour. It is stressed that many of the sexual felonies may be explained by the fact that the mentally retarded are mentally immature.

President Donald Trump has put son-in-law Jared Kushner in charge of several very important initiatives, including bringing peace to the Middle East, ending the opioid crisis, and completely reorganizing the entire executive branch of the federal government. However, Politico notes that one former Kushner employee believes that he’s not qualified to hold any kind of job, let alone a job with so many potentially world-changing responsibilities. ADVERTISEMENT Harleen Kahlon, who worked briefly as Head of Digital at Kushner’s publication Observer, explains to Politico that she quit working for the young real estate mogul when he blatantly stiffed her on an agreed-upon bonus she had earned for meeting certain traffic metrics. When she went to collect her bonus, Kushner told her he couldn’t pay due to financial constraints and advised her to “take one for the team” and forsake the money she was owed. The publication also cites a Facebook post that Kahlon wrote last year outlining why Kushner isn’t smart or talented enough to hold any job that he’s not handed by his rich relatives. “We’re talking about a guy who isn’t particularly bright or hard-working, doesn’t actually know anything, has bought his way into everything ever (with money he got from his criminal father), who is deeply insecure and obsessed with fame (you don’t buy the NYO, marry Ivanka Trump, or constantly talk about the phone calls you get from celebrities if it’s in your nature to ‘shun the spotlight’), and who is basically a shithead,” she wrote.

Rapid identification of YVDD mutants of hepatitis B virus using smart amplification process with competition probe. Accurate and timely detection of drug-associated viral mutants is important during antiviral therapy. Combining Smart Amplification Process (SMAP) with competition probe, an assay specifically designed to detect point mutation at codon 204 of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) polymerase gene was developed. This assay was sensitive to detect 20 copies of mutant/reaction and recognize as little as 1% of minor mutants in the viral population. The comparison of direct sequencing and SMAP method on 35 clinical specimens showed the concordance in 88% of the cases. This method provides an efficient alternative for rapid identification of HBV mutation associated with lamivudine resistance.

"(Giggling)" "She's obviously made a mistake." "Let's go back to bed." "Fair enough, Ted." "What are you doing?" "Writing her a note to say we don't usually get up till later." "Oh."

"I don't think Pop-Tarts have any place in Our Lord's plan for the world." "They have as much a place as anything else." "Maybe He doesn't take a personal interest but I'm sure he delegates it to someone important." " What about Frosties?" " The same thing." "Not His idea, but He gave them the green light." "Oh, right." "But if you take Sugar Puffs or Lucky Charms..." "FATHERS, COULD YOU PLEA...!" "Could you please stop having that conversation?"

The present invention relates generally to green lighting systems and more particularly to environmentally adaptive lighting systems. Present day lighting systems are manufactured using incandescent light bulbs, fluorescent tubes, or light emitting diodes (LEDs) incorporated within heavy, bulky assemblies. The assemblies require separate manually controlled power sources that lack flexible options for controlling the assemblies. Generally, the light assemblies operate in a pseudo digital mode. They are either on or off. Attempts to add adaptability, e.g., light dimming, require the use of manual controls and the addition of bulky dimming control modules. Existing LED strings, of various colored lights, are programmed for on-off functions and ripple functions, but the LED string function must be physically pre-programmed and is not adaptable to changing conditions within a lighted area. Computers are used to manually program light systems, however, the systems require external control modules for each lighting assembly, and once programmed, lack adaptable flexibility. The system must be reprogrammed to alter the lighting system performance. Today's office lighting systems are costly, inefficient, bulky, and rely heavily on manual input to adjust brightness or turn off sections of lights where sunlight is present. Adaptively illuminating large areas is generally accomplished at the expense of manually removing unneeded bulbs, resulting in wasted space and limited flexibility in lighting options. Therefore, what is needed is a cost effective, minimum footprint, power efficient, environmentally adaptive, automated lighting system that responds to environmental conditions with minimized requirements for manual input.

Guidance through the shift Watch this video and ask yourself: Do I know this teacher? Am I this teacher? And then ask: How can I guide or be guided through the shift towards improved student-learning? In the video I say that the answer is simple – just shift a la ‘just do it’ mentality but in reality the shift is not as simple as all that. If it were, I’d like to think we would all naturally make shifts as they are needed. No teacher wants their students to fail, to be bored, to drift away. So something is keeping us doing things that are not working for most of the people in our care. We tend to point towards outside factors – students getting younger (in Adult Ed in Quebec we are getting more and more students between 16 and 24 ever since they (re)started a new streaming type of programming in the high schools), too much technology, larger class sizes, too much administrivia, lack of instructional material, multi-level classes… – over which we have little to no control and get angry about it. I love how Sheryl writes: What makes you most angry about education? Guess what? That isn’t the problem. in Break Down, Rebuild, Start Fresh. She advocates for focusing on those things over which we do have control and sharing our successes with others. We. We have control over the climate in our classrooms. We can choose to remain angry or complacent and teach the way we have always been teaching and then becoming even more angry or complacent as it continues to not work for the majority of our students and for us. We can choose to make a shift and then to seek out the guidance we may need to help us in that choice. We can choose happiness and success over anger and complacency. Really. We can.

Labor ends up preferencing Clive Palmer in Clark – oh, the hypocrisy! Independent MP Andrew Wilkie commented on the Labor Party preferencing Clive Palmer’s candidate in the seat of Clark. “The community would be shocked to learn today that the Labor Party is preferencing Clive Palmer’s United Australia Party in the electorate of Clark (formerly Denison),” Mr Wilkie said. “This makes a lie of the Labor Party’s rhetoric in recent days about the evils of preferencing Clive Palmer. “Turns out the Labor Party are every bit as bad as the Liberal Party and will be party to the grubbiest of deals in the pursuit of their political self-interest. “For my part I’ve done no preference deals and am preferencing no one. I simply ask voters to vote for me and to remember to number the ballot paper in the order of their preference.”

The Many Bras Of “Applause”: Analyzing Lady Gaga’s Supporting Looks Lady Gaga‘s “Applause” video threw a lot of images at us and, as expected, we’re not entirely sure what they all mean (the hell was that giant leg-trophy thing she was dragging on the space runway?). It was a visual assault, and we were captivated by the array of outfits Gaga flaunted. This time around, most of her looks seemed to be focused on her makeup (clown-style one moment, a kinda-Hitler mustache on her swan head the next) and her brassieres. And, seeing as how we operate in a Web world where clicks are king, we’ve decided to keep the focus on the bras. Because boobs = clicks, people, and we’re nothing if not honest around these parts. But really, bras are a big factor in pop music fashion statements (see: Madonna‘s cones, Charli XCX‘s sports bra) and can be used to make a deeper point, like flipping the script on the male gaze. Or, ya know, they can just be used as a summery way to make a Botticelli allusion. Either way, Gaga knows how to wield the power of the bra. So head through our gallery to see all of the supporting looks from her “Applause” video.

The Last Judgment (Memling) The Last Judgment is a triptych attributed to Flemish painter Hans Memling and painted between 1467 and 1471. It is now in the National Museum in Gdańsk in Poland. It was commissioned by Angelo Tani, an agent of the Medici at Bruges, but was captured at sea by Paul Beneke, a privateer from Danzig. (A lengthy lawsuit against the Hanseatic League demanded its return to Italy.) It was placed in the Basilica of the Assumption but in the 20th century it was moved to its present location. The triptych depicts the Last Judgment during the second coming of Jesus Christ, the central panel showing Jesus sitting in judgment on the world, while St Michael the Archangel is weighing souls and driving the damned towards Hell (the sinner in St. Michael's right-hand scale pan is a donor portrait of Tommaso Portinari); the left hand panel showing the saved being guided into heaven by St Peter and the angels; and the right-hand panel showing the damned being dragged to Hell.

BVP M-80 The BVP M-80, is a tracked Yugoslavian-made infantry fighting vehicle, produced from the 1980s until the country's collapse in the 1990s. Development Early research and development of the M-80 began in 1969, with testing of the first completed prototype in 1974. It was first publicly exposed in 1975. First examples of the BVP M-80 rolled out in 1979 but full entry to service happened in 1982. The first production variant was the M-80 which was only made in small numbers. The vehicle used a French built engine with an output of 260 hp, the same engine as used in AMX-10P. After only a year, Yugoslavia started license production of Daimler-Benz's 315 hp engine in domestic FAMOS factories. This variant received a new designation as M-80A. Around 1000 vehicles were produced before the breakup of the country. At the time it was produced, M-80A had similar characteristics with existing IFVs like Russian BMP-1 or French AMX 10P. Although many foreign experts compare M-80A with Russian BMP-1, the Yugoslav IFV is a true original design. Unlike the BMP-1 which had 6 support wheels and was armed with 73 mm gun, M-80A had 5 support wheels and had 20 mm gun. M-80A incorporates numerous elements from the French AMX-10P giving it more power and better protection over its counterpart. All M-80s are amphibious and are equipped with twin AT-3 launchers. It was used extensively during the Yugoslav Wars. Turret The standard versions (BVP M-80 and M-80A) mounted a Hispano-Suiza HS.804 20mm autocannon that has an effective range of about 1500 meters and, depending on ammunition type, is able to penetrate around 20mm of RHAe (Rolled Homogeneous Armour equivalency). In 1978 the technical-military council of Yugoslav People's Army decided that a larger caliber gun would be necessary to counter the increasingly heavy armor of possible enemy armored fighting vehicles and began development of a new turret to house the larger weapon. This requirement led to the development of the Zastava 30mm autocannon M86 in 1985 and a new turret "Vidra" – later designated: M91. In addition to the new gyro stabilized 30mm auto-cannon, the new turret was equipped with smoke grenade launchers, improved day/night sights, and the ability to fire SACLOS 9M14 Malyutka ATGMs. The turret is rotated by servo-hydraulics and the main gun is elevated and depressed by electric motor. Incremental improvements were made to the design of the Vidra turret throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s. These improvements would eventually be standardized and incorporated into a thoroughly updated turret and designated: M91E. Besides being able to mount the original M86 30mm autocannon, the M91E-I and MM91E-II turrets able to accommodate the dual feed Zastava M89 30mm autocannon. Development is ongoing on a further modernized turret incorporating more effective ATGM armament. Besides BVP M-80 versions, the Vidra turret is offered for modernization or production with other vehicles such as BTR-50. Characteristics The M-80A is armed with one 20 mm gun, co-axial machine gun 7.62 mm and twin launcher for wire guided anti-tank missiles. It is NBC protected, fire suppression system, inside heating and water ejecting system. It’s fully amphibious and can perform crossing of any water barrier without previous preparations. Max. speed at water is 7 km/h. Crew consist of three, driver, commander and gun operator and in the after compartment there is space for six fully equipped infantrymen who can engage the enemy with personal armament through six gun slits on both vehicle sides and back doors and one squad leader who commands infantry upon exiting the vehicle. Infantry leaves IFV through two doors at the back of the vehicle. Variants M-80 – First production model with 260 hp engine, replaced after 1 year. M-80A – Improved version with 320 hp engine, full production. M-80A1 or SPAT 30/2 – Improved version with a dual 30mm gun system called "Foka". Prototype only. M-80A/98 – Further improvements of M-80A1 with new turret called "Vidra" first designated as M-96 latter changed to M80A/98. Publicly presented in 2004; M-80A KC – Company commander's vehicle. M-80A KB – Battalion commander's vehicle. M-80A VK - Turretless commander's vehicle. M-80A Sn – Medical, no turret. Single oblong hatch in the roof and single rear door. Carries 4 stretcher patients or 8 seated patients. M-80A LT – Tank hunter version with six AT-3 launchers. Sava M-90 – SA-13 SAM version, designated Strela-10MJ, prototype. MOS – Self-propelled mine layer. M-80AK/M-98A – New gun turret with 30 mm M86 cannon or 30 mm dual feed M89 cannon. M-80AB1 – Latest upgraded variant including more advanced armour, turret gun control equipment, optronics package, smoke grenade launchers and the ability to mount and launch the most recent 9M14 Malyutka missile variants. SPAT 30/2 – Self-propelled anti-aircraft gun. New turret model called "Foka" with two Zastava 30 mm autocannons with elevation from -5 to +85 degrees. The aim-scan gear is J-171 or Motorola 6800.

Koh-i-Noor: India says it should not claim priceless diamond from UK Published duration 19 April 2016 image copyright Getty Images image caption A replica of the Koh-i-Noor has been displayed in India, which has long claimed the diamond The Indian government has told the Supreme Court that it should not try to reclaim the priceless Koh-i-Noor diamond from Britain. The gemstone came into British hands in the mid-19th Century, and forms part of the Crown Jewels on display at the Tower of London. Ownership of the famous gem is an emotional issue for many Indians, who believe it was stolen by the British. But the solicitor-general said it was "neither stolen nor forcibly taken". Ranjit Kumar said the 105-carat diamond had been "gifted" to the East India company by the former rulers of Punjab in 1849. The case is being heard by the Supreme Court after an Indian NGO filed a petition asking the court to direct the Indian government to bring back the diamond. The court is still considering the issue, and said it did not want to dismiss the petition as it could "stand in the way" of future attempts to bring back items that once belonged to India. image copyright Getty Images image caption Drawings of the Koh-i-Noor diamond dating back to circa 1860 Mr Kumar, representing the Indian government, said he would consult with the foreign minister on the issue and frame a response within six weeks, the Times of India newspaper reported. Tushar Gandhi, the great-grandson of independence leader Mahatma Gandhi, said a few years ago that it should be returned as "atonement for the colonial past". However, successive British prime ministers have refused to do so. Most recently, David Cameron said that returning it would set an "unworkable precedent". "If you say yes to one, you suddenly find the British Museum would be empty," he told Indian media during a trip to the country in 2010. The diamond was last worn by the late Queen Mother and was displayed on her crown when her coffin lay in state after her death in 2002. Diamond's long and bloody history image copyright PA The Koh-i-Noor, meaning "Mountain of Light" in Persian, is the most famous diamond in the Crown Jewels . It has been the subject of conquest and intrigue for centuries, passing through the hands of Mughal princes, Iranian warriors, Afghan rulers and Punjabi Maharajas. Attempting to sum up its worth, the 18th Century Afghan queen Wufa Begum said: "If a strong man were to throw four stones, one north, one south, one east, one west, and a fifth stone up into the air, and if the space between them were to be filled with gold, all would not equal the value of the Koh-i-Noor." The stone was originally found in India's Golconda mines and measured 186 carats when it was eventually handed to the British in 1849 under the terms of a punitive treaty following the Anglo-Sikh war. It was signed by the 10-year-old Sikh ruler after his mother was thrown in jail. However, the diamond's traditional rose cut did not impress visitors to the Great Exhibition in 1851 and so it was re-cut as an oval brilliant, gaining sparkle but losing about 40% of its weight in the process. The 105.6 carat stone - the size of a hen's egg - is currently set in the Crown of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. It is said to be unlucky for men to wear the Koh-i-Noor diamond owing to its long and bloody history. Some Indian and Pakistani visitors to the Tower of London hiss as they pass it - they want it returned to the Indian subcontinent, though to which country remains unclear. Related Topics India

by This December 19th marks the 235thanniversary of Thomas Paine’s American Crisis #1. First published in the Pennsylvania Journal, it brings hope from a dark time during our revolution. Thomas Paine, who eleven months earlier published his sensational work, Common Sense,which helped ignite the rebellion, would once again bring the American people hope. The same hope that American Crisis #1 brought the Patriots can inspire the Occupy movement to withstand this winter. Thomas Paine brilliantly stated, “These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country, but he that stands now, deserves the love and thanks of men and woman.” In these 41 words, the gravity of the situation leaps from the page and pulls the reader into the momentous task of staying the course. The course of liberty is never an easy one, nor is the duty to fight against tyranny. In late December, 1776, the American Revolution was teetering on the brink of collapse. General Washington, after suffering a serious defeat in New York City and a long retreat through New Jersey, saw his army on the verge of destruction. During these trying times Thomas Paine’s words inspired the Continental Army and the American people to stay the course. At this very moment, the Occupy movement is at an impasse, after being evicted from many of their camps. However, we too must stay the course. They curse us in the conservative media. They call us socialists, anarchists, un-American and many more labels to stir up fear of those fighting for the livelihood of the American middle class. As Thomas Paine so eloquently stated in American Crisis #1: “Let them call me rebel, and welcome, I feel no concern from it; but I should suffer the misery of devils, were I to make a whore of my soul by swearing to one, whose character, is that of a sottish, stupid, stubborn, worthless, brutish man.” Recently, Bill O’Reilly stated that the Occupy movement has officially come to an end. This statement, as premature as a Jersey Tory’s cheerful glee as Washington’s army retreated from the Hudson to the Delaware will not be proven true. As Paine stated: “I thank God, that I fear not. I see no real cause for fear. I know our situation well and can see the way out of it.” The economic royalists, our modern day Tories, will only be able to do so much to silence us. They use the officers sworn to protect us to disperse us, they use the sheriffs to force us out of our homes, they threaten our social safety net, they cut our education, and push us deeper and deeper in debt. Yet we won’t be silenced. If we allow ourselves to be silenced, we will commit an unforgivable offense to the American character. We, the people must be the ones who take our government back in November 2012, or lose it forever. Rich Bergen can be reached at: progressmoshuffle @ yahoo.com.

I keep getting really cross with the people involved in the occupy movement. I mean really cross, vitriolic abuse flingingly cross. This isn’t like me… not at all like me. I’m not right-wing, I have socialist leanings and I support the right to free public assembly. So I’ve been thinking about why I’m cross and what I really, really think about occupy and everything that they’re trying to achieve. Bear with me if you will, I have a feeling that it’s all going to get a little bit complicated. 1. I have a problem with the people who are speaking on behalf of the movement. I’m not an idiot, I know there are processes happening within the news media that are specifically designed to present the movement as a bunch of left-wing, student scumbags. I also know that a stereotype is not something to judge a community based movement on. These people are just asking for a slap though. So, yeah… initially I have a very clear prejudicial dislike of, well, for shorthand let’s call them hipster hippies. Hip Hip hooray Henry haters. Urgh, alliteration. That very particular slice of white, middle-class, western society that can quite happily abandon their mortgages, jobs, whatever and go camp out for however long they feel the need to. That slice of society who seem to feel that no-one else has ever tried to use any of the techniques they have magically come up with to solve all of the world’s problems. Someone give them a city to run and we’ll see if the bins get collected and the buses run on time shall we? BAH. You see? There I go again. Cross. When I look at the declaration from the occupation of New York City for example, I see a list of general complaints about how unfair it all is and how the big boys are bullying them. They are gathering to let ‘facts be known’ not, we have gathered here to engage in a multi-partisan debate about the percieved injustices against the common citizen by corporations and government. Not, we’re here with a path of action that we’d like you to consider implementing. No, we’re here because we’re cross and we want to tell you that. Fair enough, be cross. Demonstrate, make your voices heard. Do not, however, think that you are going to make a blind bit of difference unless you a) organise yourselves like a group of adults and come up with some suggestions or b) truly inspire revolution by the masses. “*These grievances are not all-inclusive.” Of course they’re not. They never will be. Life is not fair. This is a fact, a fact that is acknowledged by nearly everyone in the world. The difference is how an individual chooses to approach that. Fat cat executives argue that no, life isn’t but that’s the way of the world and they’ve worked hard to get where they are. They’re pure free-market capitalists and their opinions and beliefs should be respected. That’s what I think governments are there to control. Part of the role of a state is to govern it’s people and processes, by imposing higher taxes on the rich a government can allow competition to survive whilst acting with a social conscience in the use of those tax funds. I think we have a pretty good compromise on the go at the moment. Sure, there are people earning obscene amounts of money but there always will be. I don’t believe communism works in practice based on the historical examples of East Germany, Cuba and Russia and I think a government that can keep the majority of people satisfied enough for most of the time is doing a pretty good job. This leads me neatly to; 2. What’s your suggestion for doing it better? I’ve been getting really frustrated by the lack of intelligent political debate going on around occupy. It reminds me of the beginning stages of the Tea Party when it mainly seemed to be just angry noise from the middle-aged, middle-class. There’s a danger with any grassroots movement that they get caught up in their own hype and truly believe that they are representing the best interests of the whole world. At least the Tea baggers had a pretty nicely drawn up set of requests and legislative changes after a while, Occupy seems to be sticking with the ‘don’t be so mean’ tagline. Speaking of not being so mean, I should pause for breath. I really do appreciate that it is a rubbish time to be a home-owner or unemployed, especially in the US. I don’t doubt that the outpouring of indignant outrage comes from a very sincere place for all of these people and if I honestly believed that it would make a difference, I would drag my unwell carcass down to St Paul’s and pitch a tent. I absolutely feel for the people who honestly can’t find work, who have been shoved to the side and ignored by the system. I think America has a particularly rubbish social support system compared to the good old UK. It makes my heart break to think of families losing their homes despite working their fingers to the bone to hold onto the security that they believed effort could bring you. It’s not fair. It really, really isn’t. It’s also not fair for much of sub-saharan africa where children are starving to death and have been for decades. It’s not fair that there are wars going on around the world that are very rarely reported on and are being funded by our tax money. It’s not fair that one of the main trading partners of the US and the UK is actively occupying another country and has some serious human rights issues. There are all sorts of horrible, horrible things going on all over the world. I’d love to be able to fix them, but idealism and pragmatism are working as polar opposites in my head. I give to charity, I give blood, I work in the public sector and try to keep politically aware. I also join in. I sign petitions, always vote in local and general elections, have been on marches for cause I believe in and try to raise awareness of under-represented issues in my own small way. It’s also worth noting as a side point that as an Atheist, it doesn’t stop me appreciating the golden rule as a good guideline for living by. I try to consciously think about how my actions affect the people around me and if there is anything that I can do to make their experience more pleasant. I guess I’m a goddamn hippy after all. My final point is a lead on from this; 3. The 99% doesn’t include me thanks very much. I’m a homeowner. I have a job. I’m a university graduate. I’m white. I’m female. I speak English as my first language. I’m a British citizen. I am one privileged mofo. Okay, so it makes me wince when I fill the car up with petrol these days. I maybe can’t have every little thing that I’d like to have. But I also don’t have to worry about where my next drink of safe water is coming from, I know that I’m not going to be thrown out of my house any time soon. I know that I will be paid for the work that I do and, because of my profession, I could find another job easily. I have a shiny TV, a computer and internet access and know that I’m unlikely to be thrown in prison for publishing my views online. My point is that there are false lines being drawn in the sand here. It’s not them and us, it’s us and us. The system is a bit broken, it could certainly do with an overhaul but the first step has to be a conversation about it. Let’s open the dialogue. Being part of society is about compromise, it has to be. Let’s just find a compromise that works a bit better. But please, please stop making all of this noise for no good reason. You want revolution in a democracy? The only change you’d be able to effect is to create chaos or a new dictatorship. There is no way to enact the lovely dream of a whole population in consensus and still have a working social infrastructure. We’ll never get rid of consumption based capitalism, it’s been around since there was meat to barter for flint. But there may be another way, let’s try and work it out. So that’s that. Next time someone asks me what I think about occupy and I start to feel the confused mess of opinionated noise rise in me, I shall simply direct them here and take some quiet breaths. Feel free to tell me why I’m wrong. I feel a bit like an Objectivist right now and that’s not a label I ever saw myself having. 3 Responses to Why Occupy? You said it yourself, it must start with conversation. And, that’s where the movement is right now. An airing of grievances, if you will. As for suggestions, here are the fundamental ones (from my consensus and based on observations): 1) Reinstate Glass-Steagall; 2) Get money out of politics; 3) End corporate personhood; 4) Stop illegal foreclosures; 5) Audit and end the Federal Reserve; 6) End the wars; 7) End crony capitalism/corporate welfare (this is different than actual capitalism, which seems to be fine with them); 8) No more bailouts; 9) No taxation without representation; 10) Jail those responsible for collapsing the world economies. Which one(s) do you find fault with? I ask because you mentioned something about making noise for no good reason in your post. With the amount of people participating, of course you will see some “off signs” (i.e. marxist, communist, socialist, etc.), but these seem to be limited in scope. Most of the students protesting about student loan debt are angry, not only because they can’t find work, but also because in the U.S., student loans can’t be discharged via bankruptcy (effectively screwing a lot of people with a lot of debt). Fixing things has to start somewhere. The ten things I mentioned don’t require much work. Why haven’t they been addressed? In my opinion, it’s because it would be a direct hit to the elite, who like the status quo just fine. They finance campaigns, have lobbyists write the laws, get congress to pass them, and continue to pilfer from the population. I’ll leave it here, but suggest that you engage these ‘occupiers’ in conversation. Firstly, thanks for your comment. You raise some really good points, I’m just not sure how little work some of them would require to put in place. I’m assuming that by 6) end the wars you are specifically talking about withdrawing US troops and ending US led wars. Does this include the disbanding of a standing army too? 5) Audit, definitely but how would national and international monetary policy be regulated in it’s absence? 8 ) for any organisation by the state or purely for big business that has played a risky monetary game? and 10) how do we go about this? Can we effectively single out the people responsible? My understanding of the problem was that the speculative investing and sub-prime lending situation in the states was a systemic failure rather than down to individuals and the problem over here in Europe is even more complex. I’d feel uncomfortable putting individuals in prison for something that was, although ethically wrong, not necessarily illegal at the time. I agree wholeheartedly with all of your other suggestions, although I’m not convinced of the ease in which you seem to think they could be addressed. I’m not so convinced of shadowy cabals either. I think the view of the situation is clearly very different in the states than here in the UK. I remain pretty content with the systems that we have in place and would only really push for a review of corporate taxation and true proportional representation via electoral reform. My comment about making noise is tied into yours about an airing of grievances. I just believe that demonstration without proactive and positive movement towards achievable change is akin to getting your voice heard and your feelings acknowledged, but not ‘useful’ in the long run. I guess I’m saying, positive action for positive change is what seems to be needed. I’m still open to being won over, and seeing more definite aims and requirements across the movement would definitely make me much more pro occupy. I’ll keep watching and discussing and see how it all develops. Point (6), the U.S. (or any other nation) has no business “occupying” 140 (+/-) countries with over 1,100 military installations (standing armies or otherwise). Not only does it have no business, but it can’t afford to police the world anymore. Point (5), go back to the gold standard. That way money is backed by something other than just “confidence”. No more quantitative easing (i.e. printing), no more currency debasement, no inflation, stable prices, etc. Point (8), with capitalism, there is no difference. If you’re a primary dealer (e.g. MF Global), hedge fund (e.g. Long Term Capital Management), investment bank (e.g. Bear Sterns, Lehman, Merrill Lynch, etc.), insurance company (e.g. AIG), bond fund, whatever and you want to speculate leveraged alpha/beta/gamma and you blow yourself up, that’s your business. We can’t have a system where the gains are privatized and the losses are socialized. On the same side of the coin, if you’re a state pension fund, municipal fund, etc. and you assume 8% returns or higher when realistic returns are closer to 3%, why should public funds be used to make up for incompetent actuaries? With pure capitalism, you live and die by the sword. Point (10), this one is trickier because it involves those least likely to support it. But, it can be done. During the S&L crises in the late 80’s/early 90’s, Bill Black sent over 1,000 people to jail. As for “not necessarily illegal at the time”, fraud has never been legal and there are hundreds, if not thousands, of citable cases. Citigroup’s former Chief Risk Officer testified (under oath) that by 2007, 80% of what they were underwriting was garbage. In Jefferson County, several politicians were jailed over a sewer bond deal, but none of the people on the other side of the financing were touched (bribes usually involve two parties). Wachovia pled guilty to laundering money for Mexican drug cartels. Goldman and Citi were both caught creating faulty CDO’s that were sold off as “good investments” (please see here as one example, mind the language: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLx2Xc1EXLg). Lehman was caught playing Repo 105 games before they filed BK. I could go on and on, but hopefully you get the point. And, if you’re still “uncomfortable”, how about just terminating bank charters? If you can’t play by the rules, you can’t play at all. There can’t be two sets of laws. And, you’re right, some of these are easier to take care of than others. For example, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act repealed parts of Glass-Steagall. It was legislated and signed into law (stroke of a pen, if you will). It could just as easily be legislated and reinstated. And, I agree with you that positive action is needed for positive change and like I said, it has to start somewhere. The underlying issues were never addressed. Are they being addressed now? I don’t really know. What I do know is that those in their corner offices are still in their corner offices (making a killing). No one has gone to jail or even been held accountable. There is still a lot of leverage in the system. CDS are still traded OTC. HFT’s are still frontrunning and channel stuffing. No one wants to address budget, deficit and debt issues. Fraud has now gone to a sovereign level. Banks are still marking assets-to-make believe. And, on and on. This debate (and possible political movement?) is just beginning. I, like you, will keep an eye on it.

Friday, November 5, 2010 Highway Safety and The Apocalypse HOV - The Living. So it's a beautiful shot - lone survivor entering the city of Atlanta on horseback. The charred remains of cars in the traffic jam from hell: the failed exodus from a zombie apocalypse. It just oozes tragic ennui. The director, Frank Darabont, must have wet himself composing this sequence since it became one of the teaser posters for the series. But it's the worst thing about the first episode and mars what is otherwise a meticulously researched show that owes its lineage to the Max Brooks' school of zombies. Why strive for realism, Frank, if you're going to throw it away on one cheap Independence Day style shot? Here in Washington DC, we have a little thing we like to call rush hour. Perhaps you have it in your city too. It happens twice a day, and can last upwards of five hours both morning and night. It's a soul crushing experience where otherwise reasonable people - the type that religiously change the batteries in their smoke and carbon monoxide detectors - will accelerate wildly to eighty-eight miles an hour, change two lanes without a blinker and slam on the breaks just to gain three car lengths. And they'll do all this on a cellphone with their precious six month old in the backseat. It's a lawless, near anarchic time of day. Yet Frank Darabont wants us to believe that should traffic backup during the zombie apocalypse, people would patiently wait their turn to merge while the five inbound lanes sit pristine and unused. That people who will drive in the emergency lane to get home for Dancing With The Stars wouldn't drive on the wrong side of the highway to avoid zombies eating their brains? Give us a fucking break. Apparently Hollywood hasn't learned anything since Independence Day. Remember the scene where Jeff Goldblum sped from New York to DC while refuges stuck in traffic waited to be turned into crispy Pop Tarts. Is that how Hollywood thinks Americans go out? Stuck in traffic? Forget that shit. Sayonara suckers, see you in hell. We'd be doing eighty-eight on the wrong side of the highway without a moments hesitation. We're happy to take the points on our license, but you'll have to mail us the ticket 'cause we ain't stopping. And we wouldn't be alone. Sorry if that fucks up your shot, Frank Darabont, here's a number you can call to complain:

If you believe that the blockade on Gaza was unsustainable, then you'd be Binyamin Netanyahu. Or one of the few congresspeople prepared to argue for what she believed was in Israel's vital interests - and the interests of the US. Well, she got what she asked for, didn't she?

A 15-year-old boy has been arrested by police officers investigating a racist tweet aimed at Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck. The teenager was held and questioned on suspicion of racial abuse following the posting of a sickening message on Twitter after Welbeck scored the winner to knock his former club Manchester United out of the FA Cup on March 9. Officers from Greater Manchester Police launched a probe after a fellow user of the social media site registered a complaint. Danny Welbeck celebrates after scoring against his former club Manchester United last Monday Welbeck netted the winning goal as Arsenal progressed to the FA Cup semi-finals with a 2-1 victory Louis van Gaal decided to sell Welbeck after deeming him surplus to requirements at Old Trafford The vile, racist rant, tweeted by user @angeIsleftfoot, read: 'Welbeck is dead to me, the f****** c***…’ The tweet, posted after Welbeck's decisive role in Arsenal's 2-1 Quarter Final victory at Old Trafford, continued with sickening references that are too offensive to publish here. Sportsmail understands officers in Manchester with specialist training in social media identified the user and passed on the information to Wiltshire Police, who confirmed they have now made an arrest. A spokesman for Wiltshere Police said: 'A 15-year-old male from the Salisbury area was arrested on the evening of March 12 on suspicion of racial abuse. 'He has been released on police bail until April 13. Welbeck was jeered by a minority of United fans after being replaced by Olivier Giroud late in the game The 24-year-old shakes hands with former team-mate Wayne Rooney (left) after the game 'He has been bailed to return to Melksham Police station then.' The vitriolic slur was one of a number of disturbing messages posted in the aftermath of Welbeck's triumphant return to United. Some stated that they hoped the 24-year-old, who is from Manchester, would die while one user threatened to kill him. Welbeck was shown the door by United boss Louis van Gaal last year, who claimed he was not good enough. Welbeck spent six seasons at United after coming through the club's youth system £60m man Angel di Maria (2nd right) was sent off during the game for laying his hands on referee Michael Oliver (2nd left) He seized upon a poor backpass to give Arsenal a lead they would not relinquish and then celebrated in front of the 9,000 visiting supporters - an action which was welcomed by many pundits. Despite isolated boos, Welbeck was applauded from the field by the majority of United fans when he was substituted in the 74th minute.

Reebok is back with another basketball banger in the form of the Men's Reebok Shaqnosis Basketball Shoes. These kicks were worn by the man himself back in the 1995-1996 NBA season, and their unique spiraling design is an iconoclastic nod to the legend. This shoe lives up to its name: hypnotic and performance-ready, they stand out from the standard basketball shoes of its era.

Friends, I’m back on the hate wagon today because I’ve just done some Googling and discovered some of the incredibly stupid and OMFG so glittery junk the incredibly stupid Fascist Male Gender Regime is attempting to market incredibly stupid and impressionable females. So many rhinestones. So many. Pretty much, according to the internet, all “Gamer Girlz” (becauze zpelling it with a z givez it attitude) are running around in high heels and pink shirts bearing slogans that simply scream “FEMALE” (that comes with matching G-string) while concurrently playing COD on their bedazzled Xboxes. Hate. So. Much. Hate. Look at this now: Surely I can’t be the only one who sees how irritating that photo is? God, look at those self-satisfied tools of sexism play things with their Pink Playstation Controller. SIS. Evil Controllerz (there's that z again!) released this controlly as part of some sort of "girl bundle" of which a portion of the proceeds would be donated to breast cancer research, because all women have boobs and can thus relate. Unfortunately the company didn't take into account the fact that camo-print is the most disgusting thing known to humankind and thus "the girlz" were presented with this: Here’s something that’s even more annoying: Yes friends, it’s come to this. Not only can you be one of these “Swifties” (fans of Taylor Swift) which is already pretty freaking annoying in itself; but now you can be a “Swiftie That Gamez” . The incredible stupidity of this phenomenon is almost but not quite completely eclipsed by the utter incongruity of those two variables. It’s like the time The Parlotones were endorsing Gigabyte notebooks, which was literally the dumbest thing and I hated it so much. Perhaps the previous paragraph is slightly superfluous to this article because I think the Swifties thing might have been made up by girls, but my ultimate point is the same: All of that up there is dumb. Men, stop being dumb by trying to sell it to us; because really, at the very least those outfits and whatnot are incredibly tacky. Women, stop being dumb and buying that fugly kitsch tat so that men will stop making it. And now, I’m going to try and recover from the rape that all those rhinestones have inflicted on my eyeballs.

They have set a modest goal of $5,000.00 Click on the link above if you'd like to contribute. Why is this energetic, veteran White House repeatedly shellacked in the message-framing wars by overtly deceitful Republicans? Why can't the president command the public forum let alone connect to Main Street, pass legislation a majority favors, leveragehis own huge '08 constituency, and countermand ambushes bythe likes of Sarah Palin? Just what the wavering Obama government needed: another train wreck week of bad news, with bad messaging compounding bad long-term framing (terms from George Lakoff). So little about real programs or solutions, so much about personal failings especially reactive, panicky leadership. The Sherrod fiasco is, alas, no anomaly, reinforcing the question no administration can long endure, "who, if anyone, is in charge"? Certainly, the Sherrod blunder provides jaw-dropping proof this White House remains a sitting duck for in-your-face, rightwing mugging, even from notorious dirty tricksters. What is it about Mark Twain's quip WH officials don't get, "A lie can make it half way around the world before the truth has time to put its boots on"? Had Ag officials demanded six hours of due diligence, a demoralizing humiliation could have become a PR bonanza, broadcasting how the predatory the vast, ultra-right smear machine works. Instead, self-immolation. By the weekend a second blunder, wider in scope, emerged when the president underwhelmed Netroots by talking empty bromides. Here's the perfect audience, progressives dying to re-embrace a bafflingly anemic president, and he blew it. ...3) "Change is hard," he lectured, but activists should "keep making your voices heard" Democrats are constantly resorting to disaster messaging. Here’s a description the typical situation. • The Republicans outmessage the Democrats. The Democrats, having no effective response, face disaster: They lose politically, either in electoral support or failure on crucial legislation. • The Democrats then take polls and do focus groups. The pollsters discover that extremist Republicans control the most common (“mainstream”) way of thinking and talking about the given issue. • The pollsters recommend that Democrats move to the right: adopt conservative Republican language and a less extreme version of conservative policy, along with weakened versions of some Democratic ideas. • The Democrats believe that, if they follow this advice, they can gain enough independent and Republican support to pass legislation that, at least, will be some improvement on the extreme Republican position. • Otherwise, the pollsters warn, Democrats will lose popular support — and elections — to the Republicans, because “mainstream” thought and language resides with the Republicans. • Believing the pollsters, the Democrats change their policy and their messaging, and move to the right. • The Republicans demand even more and refuse to support the Democrats. We have seen this on issues like health care, immigration, global warming, finance reform, and so on. We are seeing it again on the Death Gusher in the Gulf. It happens even with a Democratic president and a Democratic majority in both houses of Congress. Why? Is there anything the Democrats can do about it? First, it has to be understood. It doesn’t just happen. In the emerging Obama mythology, this is the question attributed to President Obama whenever he is asked to take the lead on a progressive issue. It is not an idle question. Leaders can only lead if there is a pre-existing movement for them to get in front of. Moreover, there are other conditions. The idea behind a movement, and the language expressing its goals, must also pre-exist in public discourse. In other words, the movement must already have: • a popular base;• organizing tools; • a generally accepted morally-based conceptual framing; • an overall narrative, with heroes, victims, and villains;• a readily recognizable, well-understood language; • funding sources; • and a national communication system set up for both leaders and ordinary citizens to use. The base is there, waiting for something worth getting behind. The organizing tools are there. The rest is not there. Researchers at the University of Aberdeen found that when people were asked to engage in a bit of mental time travel, and to recall past events or imagine future ones, participants’ bodies subliminally acted out the metaphors embedded in how we commonly conceptualized the flow of time. As they thought about years gone by, participants leaned slightly backward, while in fantasizing about the future, they listed to the fore... that we as a community make a donation to DemocracyNow! to make a statement in support of Democracy, journalism, freedom, and the 1st amendment. I contributed $25. I have to work tonight and should be sleeping now, my wife would kick my but, if she knew I was up, but this crap makes me so mad I can't sleep. If Skinner or someone could set up a link through which our (Democratic Underground) contributions could be counted, maybe we could make a big enough splash that it would get the attention of the mainstream press! Maybe then they would cover this story, yeah right! My wife and I never trusted this dude running as a Democrat for the Newton County Commission Chair, even if he was running as a Democrat because, for one reason, he is the biggest developer in the county. Well, the Covington News on Friday morning confirmed many of our suspicions. Here's a snippet: As recently as the end of May, White donated $2,300 to presumptive Republican presidential candidate John McCain's campaign, under the alias of Huberto White. He had already donated $2,300, the maximum allowed under FEC regulations, as Hubert White in March. In late June, White also donated $2,300 to Republican Rick Goddard, who will challenge Congressman Jim Marshall in November.
