an outdoor concert facility with an inside music room and barbecue restaurant in the former location of the One Knite, fostered a vibrant scene of alternative bands, punk rockers, and a hodgepodge of fringe music, occasionally interspersed with touring acts, which usually played the big stage at Stubb’s. Within fifteen years, Stubb’s and other clubs would be shadowed by residential high-rises occupied by tenants including a few who did not enjoy hearing loud music at night, much less care about living in the Live Music Capital of the World.

The city embraced music as part of its civic image and made it a prime selling point by voting for a new official motto for Austin in 1991: The Live Music Capital of the World. Now the same City ofAustin was kicking out one of Austin’s most popular music venues from city-owned property deemed too expensive for a music club.

The marginal economics of operating a club poorly reflected music’s impact on the city and its culture. Frequently cited as being one of the best places for jobs in the nation during the early twenty-first century, and as an urban environment with a high quality of life, Austin’s unlikely stature circled back to music. The first thing arrivals saw stepping off their flight at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport was a sign identifying that official motto: “The Live Music Capital of the World.”

No city in the United States had so much


music in its DNA. Local music played on the airport’s sound system, and bands played live at Ray Benson’s Roadhouse in the terminal. Musicians gigged at the H-E-B Central Markets, Whole Foods Markets, and city council meetings. While hardly anyone was making a full-time living from their craft, on any given day or night, hundreds of people were standing by, ready to break out instruments and play for the fun of it.

You could say Austin was primed for the arrival of the sandy-haired kid from Plano in 1989, as much as the kid was primed for Austin. At the suburban high school he attended north of Dallas, football was everything. A student competing in triathlons and bicycle races was considered, well, exotic, if not a freak. So heResidents living near the park complained of festival fatigue and demanded the city return the space to its original intended use as a park. But the crowds kept coming. A whole lot of them had seen Austin City Limits. Now they wanted to see for themselves.

The first South by Southwest Music and Media Conference almost didn’t happen. The registration system set up for the event failed, causing lines to back up. Instead of the anticipated 150 registrants showing up, 700 queued up to pay for credentials admitting them to 15 panel discussions, the clubs where bands were playing, a backyard day party at the residence of punk rocker Jean Caffeine, and the keynote address by Huey P. Meaux.

After Meaux spoke, a young man approached him in the hotel


producer, hustling publicist, and wan- nabe music industry executive could be spotted in the crowds. The music industry had come to Austin.

All in all, the response was positive, considering it was spring break week, when the University of Texas usually emptied out and thousands of students headed to the Texas coast or to the mountains. Student-oriented businesses in Austin typically shuttered during spring break. Antone’s, the Continental Club, Liberty Lunch, Texas Tavern, and Steamboat would have otherwise cut back their schedules or closed for the week. Instead, almost every one of the sanctioned clubs was crowded, some at capacity.

Like just about everything else in alternative Austin, it started with music.

For several years, Roland Swenson attended the New Music Seminar, which started in 1980 in New York as ameans of connecting indie bands with the music industry. He was part of an official delegation from Austin attending the New Music Seminar in the summer of 1986 that led to the announcement that a regional version of the NMS would be held in Austin in the spring of 1987. It would be called the New Music Seminar Southwest.

But the New Music Seminar organizers dropped the idea, citing internal organizational challenges, including, according to their critics, way too much partying. Roland Swenson, the Austin Chronicle, and the Austin Convention and Visitors Bureau picked up the ball and ran with it. Screw New York. They’d do their own music conference.

The Chronicle would sponsor the regional seminar. Publisher Nick Barbaro got on board when Swenson suggested ending the gathering on


and not a live music venue to begin with, withdrew from SXSW after its first night of showcasing bands. Abratto’s had been designated as the site for hardcore punk bands from Houston, per SXSW schedulers. The music and venue did not mix well. Acts scheduled to play Abratto’s on the following nights, including a hot female country ensemble known as the Dixie Chicks, ended up performing in hotel conference rooms instead. Somebody somewhere got so pissed off by something SXSW did that they set fire to a stack of copies of the Austin Chronicle at the entrance of South by Southwest offices on Fortieth Street, causing extensive smoke and water damage.

Backlash had been part and parcel of SXSW from the very beginning, per the SXSWsux and South byto allow corporate sponsors and record labels to present music showcases of their own choosing. That brought in bigger, established name acts, but it came at the expense of unknown music acts trying to get their foot in the door and stand out among the noise. SXSW critics pounced, accusing the indie music festival of selling out. Maybe so, but the move helped widen SXSW’s appeal. Foreign music delegations, sponsored by their countries, became draws unto themselves. Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Japan, and Australia all had their own showcase nights, as well as their own day parties.

South by Southwest Interactive, the stepchild afterthought to music and film when it had been rolled out in 1994, turned into SXSW’s driving force. Registration numbers blew past music and


film. Like music and film, SXSW Interactive was the alternative to mainstream technology conventions and meet-ups such as the COMDEX Show in Las Vegas that big tech companies dominated. At SXSWi, an independent developer or a startup had a chance to network, be heard, learn something from a panel discussion, make an impact, and maybe even cut a deal. From an Austin perspective, high tech was the new punk rock: it bothered and sometimes upset people who didn’t understand it. Those who did understand dove in full-on without hesitation, like a stage-diving, mosh-pit tumblerocker.

Louis Black pinpointed 2008 as the year South by Southwest reached critical mass. Registration reached 12,651. Among them was Jeff Bezos, founder of online retail giant Amazon, who bought a walkup registration badge and grazedempty storefronts, and in leased restaurants. The global brands showcased their newest products to their target audience’s tastemakers, who had conveniently appeared from all over the world specifically to sample the latest in music, media, film, technology, and culture.

The event had come a long way. The keynote speaker at the first South by Southwest in 1987 was the independent record producer/hustler Huey P. Meaux, a twice-convicted felon.

The keynote speaker for the thirtieth edition of South by Southwest in 2016 was the President of the United States Barack Obama, who addressed the Interactive conference. The First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama delivered the keynote for the music conference.

“How do you


top that?” a friend asked Roland Swenson at the softball tournament that closed out every South by Southwest.

Swenson, who appeared less tired than he did at this juncture in previous years, smiled inscrutably.

The Hippies, Pickers, Slackers, & Geeks Who Transformed the Capital of Texas

by Joe Nick Patoski

Hardcover, 367 pages

Agents of creative change in Austin were neither obvious nor conspicuous. They weren’t attached to an institution, and their influence and impact could be dismissed as minimal. But those little things and those unsung people added up to cumulatively define and distinguish alternative Austin, which had become a tourist attraction unto itself.

For a half-century, creative minds altered and reshaped a bucolic, semi-sleepy, laid-back state capital city in the middle of AmericaAlejandro Escovedo, a hometown music hero since his arrival in 1983, was neither unusual nor much noticed. Escovedo simply found a more welcoming housing situation in Dallas. Half a year in, he said North Oak Cliff, a historically blue-collar part of Dallas where he resided, seemed more interesting and diverse than Austin. The time had come to move on.

Barton Springs practically to themselves while they philosophized in their bathing trucks, must have been some kind of paradise.”

In Patoski’s version of the story, the University of Texas and state government attracted folks that “needed work but still wanted plenty of leisure time for beer-drinking, bullshitting, hell-raising and thinking.”

Austin was also the only place in Texas during the 1960s where hippies were relatively safe from violent suppression. Patoski goes into great detail about how the countercultural crowd coalesced, how early on many of them left for greener pastures in San Francisco, then how that out-migration became an in-migration because of music, specifically a form that combined traditional country music with rock ‘n’ roll in venues like the Armadillo World Headquarters with musicians such as Willie Nelson at theand Book People, Texas’s leading independent bookseller.

Patoski (The Dallas Cowboys: The Outrageous History of the Biggest, Loudest, Most Hated, Best Loved Football Team in America, 2012, etc.) arrived in Austin in the shiniest days of its golden era, a time when every bar hosted live music and the city was “loose, easy, and cheap.” As a former music journalist–turned–alt-Texas enthusiast, he writes about everything that makes Austin what it is, from the paradise of Barton Springs to the moon towers and Austin


Waxahachie, just south of Dallas, on Weds evening, May 18. Sir Doug is one of several great films screening in Waxa for the fest including True Stories and Selena, plus lotsa music.

Check it out. Two other Texas screenings have been added – Sunday afternoon, June 5, at the South Texas Popular Culture Center in San Antonio, and Saturday night, June 11 at the Barnhill Center in Brenham.

Today’s the day. I’m am pleased to announce the official campaign to get my new film Sir Doug & The Genuine Texas Cosmic Groove out into the world. We’ve got 30 days to make a BIG footprint on Kickstarter to both raise money to license over 40 of Doug Sahm’s songs for the film AND get him into the Rock and Rolldensity zoning when it doubled the housing density allowed on sites 13 acres or larger in a semi-rural part of town. Four years later, 200 homes had been built on 31 acres formerly occupied by eight single-family houses, three travel trailers, one mobile home and various storage buildings and animal pens. The city required sound walls, lush landscaping and pedestrian walkways in the new development, and to this observer, the multifamily housing is a neighborhood improvement.

Glendale uses graduated density zoning to improve the design of apartment buildings as well as to add housing. On lots wider than 90 feet, the city increases density by 25% and raises the building height from two stories to three. Because most of the city’s residential lots are only 50 feet wide, the


zoning encourages land assembly for infill housing. Apartment buildings on the larger sites can include courtyards, gardens and other amenities that are hard to provide on a small site.

On the other side of the country, Jersey City, N.J., adopted graduated density zoning around its Journal Square transit hub in 2010. This area, a short ride to Manhattan on the subway under the Hudson River, has many small parcels of land dating from its original settlement in the 17th century. To encourage assembling this fragmented land, the zoning allows six times higher housing density on sites larger than 60,000 square feet than on sites smaller than 6,000 square feet. The incentives worked. Jersey City’s graduated density zoning sparked a building boom, including a 54-story apartment building on assembled landin surroundings that were mostly parking lots and small commercial buildings.

Enter the Fray: First takes on the news of the minute from L.A. Times Opinion »

But what if graduated density zoning enabled an apartment tower in a single-family neighborhood? Los Angeles has successfully incorporated that kind of mix, notably in Century City and along Wilshire Boulevard in Westwood. Design and placement guidelines can ensure that any new building will enhance the neighborhood rather than loom over it.

In Westwood, for example, zoning requires multifamily housing built across the street from single-family homes to set each floor back at least 10 feet from the floor below, and to landscape the setback. This creates a hanging-gardens effect that softens the transition from lower to higher density. And single-family residences that are


Another bitter ending for Bulls

Given two chances in the final 6.5 seconds to defeat the Bulls on Thursday night at the United Center, the Miami Heat knew precisely what it was doing the second time around.

Watching what the Bulls did not do defensively on Miami's previous inbounds play, the Heat was smarter when it got the ball again with 3.5 seconds left. This time when Shawn Marion inbounded the ball, he not only made sure to get it to Dwyane Wade, but Marion cut straight to the basket for a return pass and scored on a ridiculously easy game-winning slam when Tyrus Thomas moved up to cover Wade and left Marion open.

Looking for three quarters like they already had left for the All-Star break, the Bulls' 95-93 lossWade. But the Bulls immediately returned the favor with 3.5 seconds left when Wade intercepted the inbounds from Thabo Sefolosha to Gordon, managing to call time out as he flew out of bounds.

On the final play, Wade said the same play had been set up on the previous inbounds when Hinrich stepped in for the steal.

The final time, Del Negro said: "We lost track of our man there trying to pay a lot of attention to Dwyane. Shawn sneaked in behind the inbounds guy. That hurts.

"Dwyane was under the basket, and it looked like they were going to try to lob it over Kirk, so Tyrus stepped back and tried to help Kirk. ... Tyrus lost vision a little bit. ... It was unfortunate."

Luol Deng was in the


game for defense at the end and Derrick Rose on the bench. Deng was one of a few Bulls who could have helped out defensively on the final play.

"We had our chances," said Gordon, who finished with a game-high 34 points. "It's definitely heartbreaking."

The Bulls ran into a team that had lost five of its last seven, was hurt by nagging injuries and was plagued by slow starts and defensive lapses after a span in which it had won seven of nine.

But after taking its first lead 29-26 early in the second quarter, the Heat snapped out of the doldrums and proceeded to pick apart the Bulls inside offensively and on the boards, outscoring the Bulls 27-15 in the period.

The turf wars between Georgian President Giorgi Margvelashvili and Prime Minister Irakli Gharibashvili have now taken a literal turn: The prime minister’s coalition wants the president to move out of his office. The president says he is going nowhere.

It is a story of two presidential palaces, three nettlesome leaders and millions of wasted taxpayer money. And it has left many Georgians rolling their eyes at the government’s apparent preoccupation with petty politics rather than on such challenges as creating badly needed jobs and kickstarting the languishing economy.

But, beyond that, the palace-fight once again has focused a spotlight on the ever shadowy role of the billionaire believed to be the real power behind the Georgian government — ex-Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili.

Ivanishvili, who stepped down in 2013, has never likedGeorgia’s hilltop presidential palace — a grand, egg-domed structure built to please his bitter rival, ex-President Mikhail Saakashvili — and has not hesitated to express his feelings.

A president with newly limited powers (under 2010 constitutional reforms) must be matched by a limited workspace, the thinking goes. Under Ivanishvili, Georgia purchased a 19th century downtown mansion in Tbilisi to serve as a new presidential headquarters.

But the Saakashvili palace seems to have grown on Margvelashvili and he has refused to swap offices

The government thus ended up allegedly spending 28 million lari (about $12 million) on preparing a presidential office that now has no president in it.

This apparently is preying on the mind of Georgia’s current prime minister, Ivanishvili's protégé. On April 21, Gharibashvili, who long has tried to elbow the


A significant portion of the meeting focused on Trump’s concerns that Twitter quietly, and deliberately, has limited or removed some of his followers, according to a person with direct knowledge of the conversation who requested anonymity because it was private.

But Twitter long has explained that follower figures fluctuate as the company takes action to remove fraudulent spam accounts. In the meeting, Dorsey stressed that point, noting even he had lost followers as part of Twitter’s work to enforce its policies, according to the source, who described the meeting as cordial.

Asked about the meeting, the White House did not respond to a request for comment.

In a statement, Twitter said the meeting —In 1853 Edward Frederick Kelaart, a physician and naturalist, collected a strange frog on the island of Sri Lanka then a British colony known as Ceylon. The specimen was a large shrub frog (about 2 inches or 5.5 centimeters long) with black-outlined white specks on lime-green skin. He dubbed it "starry" after its pale specks, but that was last anyone heard of it. Even the holotype—the body of the amphibian collected by Kelaart—went missing. Fast forward nearly 160 years—two world wars, Sri Lanka's independence, and a man on the moon—when a recent expedition into Sri Lanka's Peak Wilderness rediscovered a beguiling frog with pinkish specks.

On December 16, 1952, an offense against the United States was committed by one Cooper when he sold narcotics to two federal agents in violation of Sections 2553(a) and 2554(a) of Title 26 United States Code. In connection with this transaction, appellant Marie Moses was indicted and, on four counts, convicted as a seller of the narcotics under Section2 of Title 18 United States Code which provides that one who "aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures" the commission of an offense against the United States is a principal. The central question on this appeal is whether appellant so conducted herself with relation to the sale made by Cooper that Section 2 of Title 18 makes her responsible as a seller.

Appellant, a single woman 26 years of age, is a drug addict. Two undercover federal narcotic agents had become unsuspected members of the wretched circle of addicts and their familiars in which appellant moved. On the afternoon in question these agents came uninvited to the apartment where appellant lived with her parents. They told her they wished to purchase some drugs and inquired whether she knew


where such could be obtained. She replied that she did not have any, that one Cooper who was her supplier would be over in about a half hour and that she would be able to arrange for the agents to get some drugs from him, but that they might also be able to obtain drugs from another supplier named Mack. After waiting a while the agents asked her to call Mack because they were not sure whether Cooper would come or not. Appellant called Mack's home but was not able to reach him. As the agents were about to leave Cooper arrived. Appellant introduced the agents to Cooper and told him that they wished to purchase drugs. Cooper inquired of her whether they were all right and, whenshe replied in the affirmative, asked how she knew. Her answer was that she had seen them "over on the avenue" on other occasions. The agents then told Cooper the amount and type of drugs they desired and discussed the price with him. Appellant heard the conversation but took no part in it. The agents and Cooper left the house and separated. Some hours later that evening they reassembled at three different times and places. The money was paid at the second meeting and the drugs were delivered at the third meeting. Appellant was not present at any of these three meetings which occurred at places other than her home.

There is no evidence that appellant's relationship to Cooper's illicit business was other than that of a customer. On

Employees of the Tianzhu County Rural Credit Cooperative Union were meeting about 8am when the employee threw the gasoline bomb, the propaganda office of the county's Communist Party said in a statement.

More than 40 people were hurt, 19 seriously; some of the injured jumped from the meeting room window onto a three-story building. The statement identified the cashier as Yang Xianwen and said he was fired last month for "embezzling bank money." It said Yang fled the scene and is being hunted by police.


License drives N.J.'s decision to block aid

On a sunny summer day in Brick, Mark Jameson recounts what the neighborhood looked like during superstorm Sandy. His eyes dart up, as if he's watching the shingles from his roof fly overhead all over again.

His tale of flooding and losing everything and the resulting stress is a familiar and compelling one, but the state of New Jersey doesn't believe it's real. Jameson can't convince them he was truly living there that night.

Absent proof from a narrow list of acceptable sources, Jameson will not get the financial help that anyone else in his stated position is entitled to. As a result, the 45-year-old contractor says his home on Valencia Drive may become like others on his street — dark and empty.

"Thousands ofabout Jameson's specific circumstances.

Did the state do what it could to help a homeowner rebuild? Or did it actively work against him? The answers depend on who you ask.

Upon closer inspection

Jameson says he's been living in his Valencia Drive home since early 2010 when he moved out of the Morris County home he shared with his then-wife.

The split-up couple's vacation home became his only home, but he didn't change the address on his driver's license or update his voter registration on the advice of attorneys who said doing so might weaken his pending divorce case, Jameson said.

He finally had his address changed on November 7, 2012 after the authorities told him he would need a driver's license that reflects his Brick address in order to continue to get


access to it after Sandy, according to court documents obtained by the Asbury Park Press.

This change later raised a red flag to the DCA as they were performing cursory checks on his eligibility.

"I knew nothing about grants at this time, or having to lift my house," Jameson told the Press during an interview in Brick earlier this month. "It's not like I ran down and tried changing everything because I heard there was money coming."

After learning that he had changed his address a week after the storm, the DCA demanded he prove that his primary home was in Brick when Sandy struck.

There are two primary ways to satisfy that residency requirement: By showing the Brick address on his driver's license, or on both his voter registration and 2012income tax returns. He hadn't updated his voter registration since 2008 and Jameson says his accountant had failed to submit his 2012 return until June 2015, when he went looking for a copy to give to the DCA.

Instead of those forms, Jameson instead gave the DCA a Brick Police report showing a traffic crash in January 2012, a Brick gym membership that has been active since 2009, another Brick Police report detailing a theft from one of Jameson's work vehicles a month before Sandy, medical records from a brief hospitalization Jameson had in Brick in August 2012, and more. None of those are acceptable alternatives, according to the DCA.

Later, during an appeals hearing in front of a judge, Jameson presented testimony from his across-the-street neighbor, a Brick Police


she implied that Brick PD Detective Daniel Waleski was at least embellishing his testimony when he said that he drove by Jameson's house once or twice a week and saw his work truck parked at his home.

In her response to Nelson's letter to the DCA commissioner, she makes reference to the fact that Jameson's 2012 tax return wasn't filed until this year.

"Interestingly, (Jameson's) 2010 and 2011 income tax returns were also submitted after the storm," Colone wrote.

It should be noted that the state has not charged Jameson for fraudulently claiming the property as his primary residence, something it is not shy about prosecuting.

Since March 2014, the New Jersey Attorney General's Office has indicted 37 people for lying to receive federal disaster assistance, including five in Ocean County earlierdog licenses — to update his address where he could have really helped his case. Even the flood insurance for the damaged home was mailed to the Morris County address.

Perhaps more problematic, his ex-wife Dawn Jameson said that Jameson had bounced around after their separation but had moved back to their marital home by the end of the 2012 summer.

"(He) was sleeping (in Towaco) every night," she said when contacted by the Press.

However, the state never presented Dawn Jameson's testimony because, she said, they never reached out to her. In fact, the state didn't present any new evidence or testimony. Instead they opted to undermine the credibility of what Jameson's side had put on the record.

"There's no police reports of me being up there, there's no car accidents,"

— And as if all that weren't enough, don't forget summer's guiltiest pleasure: On July 17 on TLC,Golf-Guthrie grabs Honda Classic lead, McIlroy withdraws

By Simon Evans

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Florida, March 1 (Reuters) - Young American Luke Guthrie shot a sparkling seven-under-par 63 to grab the early clubhouse lead at the Honda Classic on Friday after world number one Rory McIlroy withdrew citing a toothache.

The 23-year-old Guthrie, yet to win on the PGA Tour, was flawless as he carded seven birdies at PGA National to gain a one stroke lead over compatriot Michael Thompson (65).

Britain's Lee Westwood and Australian Geoff Ogilvy put themselves in contention for the with rounds of 68 and 66, respectively, to lay three strokes back of Guthrie.

Westwood said he was taking a cautious approach to the challenging course, which on Friday remained very soft with frequent mud on balls.

"It's a tough setup


and it's one of the more demanding tests of the year," said the Englishman. "There's trouble out there; if you get a good game plan, then you can get around it. Once you start getting a bit cute and chasing, it can bite you."

Tiger Woods, coming off an opening-round 70 and playing in the later groups, was even-par through seven holes after following birdies at the fourth and fifth holes with bogeys at the par-four sixth and par-three seventh.

But the attention was all on world number one McIlroy, who had a nightmare start to his second round, dropping seven shots from his opening eight holes with a triple-bogey, a double-bogey and two bogeys.

The Northern Irishman, who before the tournament conceded he was adjusting to his Nike clubs afterswitching from Titleist in January and had also complained of swing troubles, released a statement saying he had severe wisdom tooth pain.

"It began bothering me again last night," said McIlroy. "It was very painful again this morning, and I was simply unable to concentrate. It was really bothering me and had begun to affect my playing partners."

McIlroy's withdrawal will further increase scrutiny on his play after his elimination in the opening round of the WGC-Accenture World Match Play Championship last week in Arizona.

The Northern Irishman also missed the cut at the Abu Dhabi Championship in January. (Editing by Frank Pingue)


The story of Pyha begins with a 12 year old Korean boy making dark music alone in his room that somehow becomes the blackest metal album of all time. The story goes Steven Schultz (of Puny Humans and Stalin Claus Superstar infamy) while studying in Korea bought some random CDs, the most curious of which is the one above, The Haunted House, and it was indeed recorded by a 12 year old. Later this was passed to Terrorizer in the UK and earned a 10 out of 10 rating, and finally came out earlier this year on Tumult.

The record is one of intense sonic landscapes, with howling screams and layers of distortion and keyboards. Every piece is there, a perfect distillation of teenage angst and isolation that isI worked at Saveur, we hired her to write about a tiny French confection called a canelé de Bordeaux, with a custardy interior and a thin, crackly crust of burnt sugar. Paula had managed to pry the recipe from a confrerie (brotherhood) of 88 bakers in Bordeaux, who had banded together to protect its integrity and locked the official recipe in a vault. And she had brought the recipe to us, at Saveur.

Unfortunately it was so long and massively detailed that in order to fit it to the allotted space, we had to trim it a bit and condense some of the language. I sent her the galleys to look over. Very politely but firmly, Paula withdrew the recipe. She had spent years storming the vault in Bordeaux,


17 years old, Josh began powerlifting three times a week. After eight weeks of training, he could lift more than 500 pounds.

Max Kurz, a researcher at the University of Nebraska Medical Center Munroe-Meyers Institute in Omaha, believes that pathways to the brain are stronger and work better after powerlifting.

He's studying Josh's progress through brain scans and has been studying other young brain trauma patients.

"We’re training him like a Nebraska football player would and we’re seeing some dramatic changes, which are very, very exciting to have," Kurz said.

Watch the video above to learn about Josh's story and see how far he's come since his life-changing accident.Sylvester J. Schieber

Dr. Ken's 'shoot from the hip' no nonsense style gives you the nuts and bolts tactics and strategies you need to get started on the road toCLEVELAND, Ohio - With four players scoring in double-figures, including Haley Schmitt recording a career-high for the second time in just three games, the Cleveland State women's basketball team was able to post a 68-57 victory over VCU Wednesday evening. With the win the Vikings are now 2-4 on the season, while the Rams fall to a matching record of 2-4.

Schmitt, who tallied a career-high 12 points against the Rams, was 2-for-2 from behind the arc along with five rebounds, an assist and a steal. Shalonda Winton had a team-high 17 points along with 12 rebounds for her fifth double-double of the season, while Kiersten Green tallied her fourth straight double-digit contest with 12 points. Cori Coleman was the final Viking to notch double-figures, adding 13 points, three


rebounds and three assists. Freshman Jasmine Flanagan also set a career-best, posting five points including her third three-pointer of the season.

For the fourth straight game CSU trailed in the opening minutes of the contest, but Wednesday evening the Vikings were able to take control of the game at the 10:06 mark, gaining a 9-8 lead on a Schmitt layup. The Vikings were able to hold the lead for the next eight minutes, including their largest lead of the half at the 6:11 mark (15-10) following an Honesty King layup.

After converting four free throws and forcing two Cleveland State turnovers in a span of 1:35, VCU was able to regain the lead at the 18-17 mark and posted a 6-3 run to close the opening frame, heading into thegain their largest lead of the contest (12 points) at the 62-50 mark with 3:17 left on the clock.

The Vikings held strong over the final 3:17, with Schmitt posting another jumper and Green converting all four of her free throws, for the 68-57 victory.

On the night, the Vikings posted 12 assists, 10 steals and four blocks, while forcing VCU into 21 turnovers. CSU also held the advantage in rebounds, grabbing 38 boards, including 17 offensive rebounds.

Cleveland State will now hit the road once again this weekend, traveling to Bloomington, Ind. to take on the Indiana Hoosiers at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 2.


although it may possibly have been part of his one time Shirt-Wearer paraphernalia, the purported Crazy Horse scalp shirt in the collection of the American Bureau of Ethnography (which was purchased by from Little Big Man by John Bourke) was probably never worn in battle Crazy Horse, since all accounts agree that he always fought unadorned, e.g. Lazy White Bull's description of Crazy Horse at the Little Bighorn.

Among the Crazy Horse artifacts that are likely to have been real personal possessions, the most significant is his Eagle Horn -- or eagle bone war whistle -- sketched by William Humphreys Miller in 1939. Crazy Horse used the Eagle Horn to command his warriors, and Eagle Elk said he carried with him "at all times."

The most frequently seen bogus portraitknew Crazy Horse is that he never wore an eagle feather war bonnet. The second is the age of this unknown Indian, who is at least middle aged, while Crazy Horse was by most accounts a young-looking 36 or 37 at the time of his death. This Indian is sometimes identified as Race Horse, a purported cousin of Crazy Horse.

#6 --The Hawk Wing Photo

This unknown Sioux has a scar under his left eye -- not his left nostril -- so he is not Crazy Horse.

Interestingly, though, he appears to be holding the wing of a hawk, which was Crazy Horse's Wasicunpi (or guardian spirit). His hair also appears lighter than most Indians (e.g., the Indian in the "Little Bat" photo above) -- which was true of Crazy Horse


-- and he has a "long straight nose," as Little Killer described Crazy Horse.

This Standing Bear family photo from Crazy Horse: A Lakota Life by Kingsley M. Bray purports to portray Crazy Horse's second wife, Black Shawl Woman.

Personally, I have doubts about the authenticity of this photo for a couple reasons. First, the woman in this photo does not have the emaciated, sunken look of a consumptive near death. Secondly, Black Shawl Woman died of TB shortly after Crazy Horse was murdered in 1877, while the building behind this woman looks too substantial to have existed at Ft. Robinson in 1877.

The bottom photo, from The Death of Crazy Horse: A Tragic Episode in Lakota History edited by Richard G. Hardorff, purports to show Crazy Horse's third wife, HelenRep. Jim Himes has raised hundreds of thousands as a bundler for Hillary Clinton. Rep. Tim Ryan trekked to dozens of events across his home state of Ohio to help elect the former secretary of state. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver risked political suicide in 2008 by sticking with Clinton when African-American politicians and voters were flocking to Barack Obama's insurgent campaign.

The Clinton foot soldiers are among the members of Congress who may be in line for a nice return on their hard work if she wins in November — a job in the new administration, perhaps, increased political clout or help from the commander in chief reaching the next rung on the political ladder.

“The Clintons value loyalty. Anyone who has been in politics for a long time values loyalty,”


of New York, Marcia Fudge of Ohio, Steve Israel of New York and Assistant Democratic Leader Jim Clyburn of South Carolina. As prominent Clinton bundlers, freshman Reps. Don Beyer (D-Va.) and Grace Meng (D-N.Y.) also make the list. Reps. Lois Frankel (D-Fla.), Judy Chu (D-Calif.) and Jim Cooper (D-Tenn.) are making significant efforts on Clinton's behalf, as well.

A number of senators — from Ohio's Sherrod Brown to Virginia's Tim Kaine — consistently make the list of potential picks for Clinton's No. 2. And New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker has been floated as a potential pick for a White House post because of his broad appeal among progressives and younger voters.

On the House side, sources close to the Clinton campaign on Capitol Hill say Ohio's Ryan or New York'sLowey could be poised to join a Clinton administration in some capacity.

“I think Tim is a prospect either for vice president or certainly in the Cabinet if he were to desire it,” Larson said. Ryan would be a long shot for the No. 2 job, but he's a well-regarded centrist from a critical swing state.

Another House member whose name has cropped up is Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.) — he is limited from seeking another term as chairman of the Democratic Caucus and has been casting a wide net for his next landing place. The 12-term congressman spent several weeks campaigning for Clinton in Nevada before the caucus there, and some of his allies are speculating he could be making a bid for a Cabinet post or even vice


president.

Becerra is “someone I think would make a great vice president of the United States," Rep. Mike Honda (D-Calif.) remarked earlier this month. Becerra is a dark horse, at best, to become Clinton's running mate.

There's also a cadre of Clinton allies who stayed with her during her acrimonious primary battle against Obama eight years ago. That group includes Cleaver and New York Rep. Joe Crowley.

Crowley has had a long-standing relationship with the Clintons, and it was strengthened when he became one of her earliest endorsers in Congress last year. He’s in line to chair the Democratic Caucus next Congress, the No. 4 spot in House Democratic leadership. Having a close relationship with the White House could help him push forward the Democrats' agenda in a Congress that will  On July 14, 2015, the Wilson County Grand Jury returned a seven-count
indictment charging the Petitioner with, among other things, attempted carjacking, two
counts of aggravated assault, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and evading
arrest. The charges stemmed from the Petitioner’s May 19, 2015 actions in displaying a
gun while attempting to enter a car in which two passengers were sitting and fleeing from
the police officer who responded to the scene.

       On May 26, 2016, the Petitioner pled guilty in the Wilson County Criminal Court
to aggravated assault and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon in exchange for an
effective sentence of twelve years at thirty-five percent to be served consecutively to his
sentence for a Michigan conviction for which he was


on parole at the time of the instant
offenses. In accordance with the plea agreement, the other counts of the indictment were
nolle prosquied. The prosecutor recited the following factual basis for the pleas:

       Back on May 19th of 2015 a young lady by the name of Taylor Skeens was
       sitting in a vehicle belonging to her mother with her little brother, Christian
       Sanders, in the parking lot located at Adams Lane in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee.

               While she was waiting for her mom who had gone into Tropicana
       Tanning a white maledressed in a green striped shirt approached the
       passenger’s side of the vehicle she was sitting in. It startled her so she
       initiated the locks on the vehicle.

              The gentleman began to pull on the handles of the driver’s side
       doors in an attempt, in her belief, to get into the car with her. She could see
       a gun which had a silver slide on it with a black handle. Most of the gun
       was black but it had a silver slide on it.


            She could see a gun in his hand. Although he never pointed the gun
       at her, it did place her in fear for her safety as well as the safety of her
       brother that was sitting in the car with her.

              At that point, she notified her mother and her mother came out after
       the gentleman left her in the car. He motioned before he left indicating that
       he was going to use the phone and put the gunback in the front of his pants
       pocket - - in the middle of his pants pocket.

               He left that location as her mother was exiting the building where
       she had gone in for tanning after being notified by her daughter of the
       incident and they both notified the police. Officer Jake Short with the Mt.
       Juliet Police Department responded to take the report.

              There was a broadcast with a general description of the individual, a


     tall white man with a scruffy appearance, appeared to have growth on his

                                            -2-
face, a beard forming. He was dressed in a green and possibly white striped
shirt and blue jeans.

       Both Taylor Skeens and her mother gave similar descriptions.
Officer Portal who was coming onto shift at that time was advised of the
description. He had gone to Belk for another call, however, he became
involved in searching for the subject.

      Whenhe was coming around to the area, Pleasant Grove Road in
Mt. Juliet, he came around there and talked to an individual who was
involved in construction and that individual indicated that a person
matching that description had gone into Walmart.

       Therefore, Officer Portal went into Walmart to talk to Loss
Prevention. As he entered the doors which are located in the middle of
Walmart, not the grocery side but the other side, he saw a person sitting on
the bench with a red shirt, drinking a drink in a cup, and underneath he
noticed that a green and white striped shirt was underneath the person’s leg.

        As he went in the doors he then came back out, the officer did. At
that


drove her up
to where the [Petitioner] was seated now in a red shirt and blue jeans.

        At that point, she indicated that she was about ninety-three percent
sure that this was the man who tried to get into the car with her and had
scared her with a gun. When they showed her the green and white striped
shirt that had been under the [Petitioner’s] leg she indicated that she was
ninety-seven percent sure that this was the man that had tried to get into the
car with her and had the gun.
                                 Petitioner] has a previous history as indicated by his
       certified convictions out of Michigan of felonies involving violence or
       threat of violence, which includes the home invasion and a robbery, and he
       also had a breaking and entering which is not exactly, a quote, unquote,
       felony of violence, and he did have three felony firearm charges also of the
       state of Michigan at the time and was in fact on parole out of Michigan
       when this event occurred.

      In April 2017, the Petitioner, acting pro se, filed


denied that she ever told the Petitioner that she was unable to take the case to
trial. She explained that what she said was that she could not take the case to trial for the
amount of money that the Petitioner had paid. She testified that she reviewed her
retainer agreement with the Petitioner during their first meeting that and he paid her an
initial amount. After they had gone through “ten to twelve pretrial motions” and the
Petitioner was struggling to pay her fee, she told him that if he genuinely could not pay
the full retainer it would be in his best interest to inform the judge so that an attorney
could be appointed for him. She stated that she explained to the Petitioner that he was
unable to afford both an attorney and                                       -6-
       The Petitioner testified in narrative form that he had information when he was in
Michigan about a man who manufactured methamphetamine. He said he reported the
information to the “Flint Area Narcotics Group,” which passed him from person to
person until an officer finally told him that he was going to use the Petitioner in an illegal
capacity as an informant. The Petitioner said he did not want to move to Tennessee but
his parole officer told him he had to do it. Once in Tennessee, he


was “involved with law
enforcement and [he] believed they wanted to kill [him].” According to the Petitioner,
law enforcement officers in Tennessee were aware that he had armed himself with a gun
for self-defense, but they refused to arrest him. He believed that they instead were
waiting to try to catch him in a violent crime or to kill him.

        The Petitioner testified that he informed trial counsel that he had been armed with
a gun for days prior to his arrest and that he wanted to present a defense of duress. He
also gave counsel a list of potential witnesses who had knowledge of his prior gun
possession and of his having approached 18 or 19 different individuals with requests to
borrow their cell phones to call Williaman interlocutory appeal to go
through” that he did not believe was in his best interest; and (3) trial counsel told him she
was unable to take the case to trial for the amount of money he had paid her and he did
not have confidence that another attorney would be as “good” as trial counsel.

         The Petitioner acknowledged that he received a twelve-year sentence by pleading
guilty when he faced a potential fifty-seven-year sentence if convicted of all the offenses
at trial. He further acknowledged that he and trial counsel discussed the possibility of his
pleading guilty while reserving a certified question of law regarding the legality of his
arrest. He said he did not learn until just before the entry of his guilty pleas that


to the supreme court, rather than her belief that it would help his case.
He said trial counsel told him that she thought his being tasered constituted an arrest
without probable cause and at one point even told him that she would work on his case
for free if she could take the issue all the way to the state supreme court.

       After listening to some of his recorded jail telephone conversations, the Petitioner
acknowledged having told his mother that there was “no way” he could beat the
convicted felon in possession of a firearm charge, which carried a sentence of fifteen
years. He also conceded that in another recorded conversation there was mention of his
facing a potential sixty-year sentence, rather than the eighty years he claimed tohave
believed he was facing. Finally, he acknowledged that he hired trial counsel after the
entry of his pleas to represent him at a parole hearing.

        On redirect examination, the Petitioner testified that his testimony at the
evidentiary hearing was being coerced by the remote neuro monitoring device that had
been implanted in his ear, which was directly connected to President Donald J. Trump.
The post-conviction court noted for the record that the Petitioner was unable to keep a
straight face, grinning and laughing, each time during the hearing that he made mention
of the remote neuro monitoring device.

        On May 15, 2018, the post-conviction court entered an order dismissing the
petition. Among other things, the court found that the Petitioner failed


M. Night Shyamalan wrote the screenplay for She's All That. Let me just repeat that wondrous revelation: M. Night Shyamalan once sat down, presumably in a chair, and wrote the script to the 1990s teen sex comedy She's All That. Let's try it in an offhanded way: M. Night Shyamalan, the mind behind the 1999 exercise in frivolity She's All That, wrote the script for that movie. Add it to the chart!

In an interview on May 29, M. Night Shyamalan confessed that he ghostwrote in his past and that he was too embarrassed to even say the name of the film. (Yes, so this news is a little under two weeks old, but it will be breaking news to all the minds and souls that read this.) Afterthe gentlest of prodding from the interviewer, who simply said "We'd love to hear about it," Shyamalan replied: "I ghostwrote the movie She's All That."

If She's All That was not a pre-teen cultural touchstone for you, it's a remarkable film that manages to employ every tired conceit of the teen movie, while draping the characters in banging 90s fashions. Here's how it starts: the most popular boy at school is dumped by the most popular girl, so she can date someone from The Real World named Brock Hudson. To enact revenge on his ex and prove his popularity domination, this smart-jock protagonist places a bet that he can transform a secretly hot girl into an overtly hot girl and get her named prom queen. Here's a key line,


Zambia // On the importance of legal aid and other types of legal assistance

4 February 2015

Between February and November 2014 an identification and formulation mission was carried out in Zambia for support to justice delivery under the 11th EDF. Servaas Feiertag was one of the senior experts on behalf of CILC in this programme. The overall mission was coordinated by the EU Delegation in Zambia.

The goal of the mission was to analyse and propose a new programme to strengthen the efficiency and effectiveness of the Zambian justice sector, with attention for citizens and their access to justice (a topic already receiving attention from various donors).

The missions included a number of field visits to the provinces of Zambia, in which the expert teams could see how the justice sectorMexico is now exporting more to the US than Canada.

Exports from Mexico to the United States totaled $245 billion for the first 10 months of 2016, while exports from Canada to the US came in at $230 billion, according to figures released by the Commerce Department on Tuesday, which we spotted first via Bloomberg's Gerg Quinn and Nacha Cattan.

If these trajectories continue, 2016 will be the first time the US bought more from Mexico than from Canada. China remains the number one exporter to the US, while Canada and Mexico finished 2015 tied for second.

Since the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement, Mexico's economy has become more focused on manufacturing; over 80% of its exports went to the US in 2015. At least part of the


country's attractiveness can be attributed to its lower wage costs relative to Canada (and the US).

Notably, the data from the Commerce Department suggests increased economic integration between the US and Mexico at a time when President-elect Donald Trump has repeatedly advocated a more protectionist agenda. During his campaign, he criticized Mexico (along with China and Japan), proposed taxing imports from Mexico, and called the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) "the worst trade deal in the history of our country."

And since his election in early November, there have been questions about whether Mexico could get economically whacked once Trump steps into office come January. Several forecasts have predicted a recession if the President-elect follows through with his proposals, while a team at Capital Economics forecasts that "growth isended up being one of the big market casualties of the US presidential election as it became something of a gauge of Trump's prospects, it's crucial to note that the currency started weakening before Trump started campaigning.

Neil Shearing, Capital Economics' chief emerging-markets economist, previously argued that this could be explained by a structural deterioration in the country's economic position amid long-run issues at Pemex, the state-owned oil company, and chronically weak productivity growth.

flow resistance (pressure loss), the bubble incurs the disadvantage of offsetting the discharge pressure of the pump and thereby decreasing the flow rate. The conventional diaphragm pump, typically exemplified by the piezoelectric pump, normally includes the inlet port at an end portion of the pump chamber and the outlet port at the other end portion, or both ports at the respective end portions. Besides the inlet port and the outlet port are of the same caliber. Therefore, the bubble that has once intruded into the pump chamber is detained along the peripheral portion of the pump chamber by the influence of the flow status within the chamber, and the influence of the viscosity and the surface tension of the fluid, and is difficult to be driven out. TheThe Boilermakers are 4-5 against the top 50, including wins over Iowa, Ohio State and NC State. They also swept the Hoosiers, split with the Illini and won nine games against the top 100. Purdue earned a double bye in the conference tournament and beat surprising Penn State in the quarterfinals, which should lock them in. Expect them to be dancing for the first time since 2012.

Illinois (19-13, RPI: 71, SOS: 61): When the Illini's schedule stepped up in weight class over the final three weeks of the season, they just couldn't hang. They went 2-4 in their last six regular season games, losing to Wisconsin, Michigan State, Iowa and Purdue, while beating sub-.500 teams Northwestern and Nebraska. They needed, at the very least, one win in the

Other conferences

BYU (West Coast, 24-9, RPI: 37, SOS: 71): After losing to Gonzaga in the WCC championship, the Cougars have to hope they did enough this season to earn an at-large bid. Their regular season win over Gonzaga was their only top-50 win, and they had just four against the top 100. Three combined losses to Pepperdine and San Diego may prove too much for an invite. More likely than not, BYU is going to be one of the most dangerous teams in the NIT.

September 21, 2017

2017 Texel Brunotti Kiteboard World Cup – Day 1 – Elite League Event

The Elite League riders were greeted to a sunny morning at the competition site on the island of Texel for the first day of competition. Men’s Heats 1 and 2 were completed, alongside 5 tricks of Heat 3, before it was postponed due to the dropping winds.

Heat 1 saw Spanish former World Champion Alex Pastor get off to an uncharacteristically slow start, with several crashes before he finally managed to land several high scoring tricks including a stylish KGB 5. This put him up to second place, opening the door directly to Round 3. Set Teixeira from Brazil was on fire right from the start, opening up


with an impressive Backside 317 that scored him 8.17 points, and placed him first in this heat.

It was Youri Zoon from the Netherlands who dominated Heat 2, delighted to be competing in his homeland and feeling the support from his fans on the beach. He rode a great heat and landed a 317 scoring him 8.03 points, placing him in second position. Luis Alberto Cruz from the Dominican Republic was on a mission to succeed, and stomped 5 high scoring tricks including a 317 and BS315, that placed him just above Youri Zoon.

The wind unfortunately dropped halfway through Heat 3, so it will be resumed tomorrow. First possible start will be at 8am. As usual, you can follow all of the action on our facebook livestream.Warning: contains spoilers!

Bloomquist's Utility Role Still Undefined

Getting him in the mood of opening day isn't easy. Just go ahead and ask him which of his six major league opening days was his favorite.

"Today," he said Monday in the Seattle Mariners clubhouse.

You mean this year because expectations are so high?

"Because the past's in the past," the South Kitsap grad said while waiting for a hitting meeting to begin a few hours before the Mariners' season-opening 5-2 win over the Texas Rangers. "Today's today."

We'll have to check back with Bloomquist later in the season to see how he feels.

It's possible he might be reminiscing about seasons past.

Bloomquist's role this season is yet to be defined.

Last year, Bloomquist could count on filling in when somebody needed a day off at second, shortstop orA year after the 2010 opening of its two casinos, Singapore tied the Las Vegas Strip as the world's second-biggest gambling market by revenue. The city's casinos have boosted tourism and lured high-rollers by offering bets of up to one million Singapore dollars (US$800,000), the highest maximum wagers in the world.

But after a stunning debut, the casinos have stopped growing, due in part to the government's reluctance to let them expand or relax its strict gambling rules.

As a result, investors, spoiled by seemingly endless growth in the Chinese haven of Macau and other new casino hubs springing up across Asia, have soured on Singapore's resorts. "There's little investor interest in Singapore," says
Ben Lee,
managing partner at casino consultancy iGamix. "They've given up."

The government isn't likely to change its policies


any time soon, said
Eugene Tan,
a member of parliament and an associate law professor at Singapore Management University who studies casinos. The city, he said, wants to show that its casinos—the most profitable on the planet—are also the world's best regulated.

"We're not going to sell our grandmothers just to make money," he said.

Neither Singapore's Casino Regulatory Authority nor its parent agency, the Ministry of Home Affairs, responded to requests for comment.

The stalled growth in Singapore could have implications beyond the city. Asia is in the midst of a casino boom, with new gambling outlets planned everywhere from the Philippines to South Korea and under consideration in Japan, a potentially huge market. While some have praised Singapore as a regulatory model for other markets inAsia, investors and industry executives hope new casinos in the region will perform more like the resorts in Macau, where proximity to mainland China and less strict oversight have led to extraordinary growth. Macau, the world's casino capital, has gambling revenues now seven times the size of the Las Vegas Strip.

Straight-laced Singapore—famous for its ban on most sales of chewing gum and its policy of caning some criminals—surprised the world when it invited casino companies to submit proposals nearly a decade ago. The government wanted to boost tourism and shed Singapore's image as a dull and rigid city.

The city got what it wanted: Visitor arrivals hit nearly 16 million last year, up from 10 million in 2009, the year before the casinos opened, according to the Singapore Tourism


depend on the streams and wetlands that flow into them.”

Many farmers and businesses had countered that expanding the scope of waters subject to the act's jurisdiction was a power grab that would lead to greater permitting requirements for landowners and greater legal liability. They called on Congress to intervene.

Two Supreme Court rulings left the reach of the Clean Water Act uncertain.

Those decisions in 2001 and 2006 left 60 percent of the nation's streams and millions of acres of wetlands without clear federal protection, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, causing confusion for landowners and government officials.

The veto was expected.

The House voted to void the rule last week. The Senate passed the resolution last November. Neither chamber appears to have enough votes to override the president's veto.

The Associated PressFirst Footage Of Rainbow Moon Running On Vita

Posted by Chris K on February 26th, 2013 | 0 Comments | Tags: Rainbow Moon

Headline pretty much says it all. Early this morning eastasiasoft released a video of Rainbow Moon running on PlayStation Vita.

As you can see in the video above, the work-in-progress footage shows off a little bit of map traversal, an early game battle (with tutorial to boot), and some chatting around one of the games many towns.

Curtis reviewed the PS3 version of the game last year and wasn’t too hot on it. Hopefully the Vita version can improve on some of the faults he had with the game. There is no release date set as of this time.


Fall in number of NHS psychiatrists treating children in England

The number of NHS psychiatrists treating troubled children and young people is falling, despite a surge in demand among under-18s who need urgent mental health care.

NHS workforce statistics show that the number of full-time equivalent psychiatrists working in child and adolescent mental health services in England fell to 942 in July – its second lowest number on record, down from 970 in January this year .

The drop has occurred despite high-profile pledges, made by Theresa May and NHS chiefs, to expand and improve the mental healthcare under-18s receive, and to put more money into it.

The 942 psychiatrists who were employed in England in July represented the second lowest figure since NHS Digital began keeping records in 2009, and onlyRecommended by Unseen Japan staff - get Japanese games translated to English, Japanese language originals, toys, and more!

(AFP) – A pledge by Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to send two reusable cloth face masks to every household as the country battles the coronavirus outbreak has been met online with derision and humour.

Within hours of the announcement, the hashtag “Abenomasks”, a play on the prime minister's signature “Abenomics” economic policy, was trending on Japanese Twitter.

“A night has passed and it was not a dream,” Kentaro Iwata, an infectious disease specialist at the Kobe University, tweeted Thursday, referring to Abe's Wednesday announcement.

He denounced the proposal as a “waste of money”, pointing out that hospitals would never use cloth masks of the sort proposed by Abe.

The pledge came after Abe himself


began sporting a small cloth face mask in parliament, and one widely circulated image reacting to his proposal showed him sporting two cloth masks, one over his mouth, the other covering his eyes.

The decision to issue just two masks per household left many in Japan confused, wondering what homes with more than two members were supposed to do.

A tweet depicting the family members of the world's longest-running animated show, Sazae-san, attempting to share two masks in their house went viral shortly after Abe's announcement.

One cartoon shared widely showed multiple members of one family standing in a line, with the person at the front wearing a mask and the ear loops stretched all the way to the member at the back.

The timing of the announcement also raised eyebrows, withprizes'''
