Injuries hurt our season more than anything last season. We started out slow but regained our postion later with a 6-3 record then the injuries mounted and downhill from there.

The numbers Wallace produced since he was a Steeler proves he was a productive receiver, some are just pissed he stood his ground and got the money he thought he could get just like Flacco did.
I look at the bottom line, Wallace and Miller were the main producers on offense, to say he had an attitude is one thing but he put up the numbers and that counts.

Trump's National Emergency Stands As House Fails To Override Veto

Updated at 5:35 p.m. ET

The House of Representatives failed to override President Trump's veto on a congressional resolution blocking his national emergency declaration. That executive proclamation paved the way for the administration to spend billions of dollars to construct a barrier along the Southwest border between the U.S. and Mexico after Congress refused to approve the full amount the White House demanded last year.

The vote was 248-181, falling short of the two-thirds majority needed. Only 14 Republicans joined Democrats to vote to overrule the president.

President Trump called the vote a "BIG WIN."

Trump argued earlier this month when he used his veto pen for the first time on the measure that crime,the purse and that prerogative has been invaded by Donald Trump."

The issue split the GOP on Capitol Hill — 13 House Republicans and 12 Senate Republicans voted for the resolution overturning the the national emergency. Many cited the separation of powers enumerated in the U.S. Constitution; others raised concerns about the precedent set by Trump.

But on Tuesday many House Republicans defended the president, saying there is an ongoing crisis at the Southern border.

"The president is well within his legal authority that Congress has provided him. That's the bottom line," Rep. Sam Graves, R-Mo., said on the House floor.

A coalition of Democratic attorneys general filed a lawsuit in February to try to block the president's national emergency, so the fight over the issue will continue in federal courts.

and computed on his return for that year. Thereafter, on February 19, 1938, pursuant to an additional assessment by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue for the year 1936, plaintiff paid to defendant an alleged deficiency of $19,894.07, plus interest of $1060.11, or a total additional assessment of $20,954.18. On October 3, 1939, plaintiff received a refund in the principal amount of $501 together with interest of $26.70.
2. On March 9, 1940, plaintiff filed a timely claim for refund with defendant, which was rejected by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue on December 11, 1942.
3. From 1922 to November 4, 1931, plaintiff was a partner in the firm of Edward Lowber Stokes and Company, dealer in securities. On November 4, 1931, the partnership dissolved and thereafter plaintiff carried on thestock in the 1936 income for federal tax purposes, as shown in the closing inventory.
12. The securities listed in paragraphs 5, 7 and 10 were commingled on the books of the plaintiff with other securities held for resale to customers and were an integral part of plaintiff's business as dealer. They constituted securities which were held by plaintiff for resale to his customers in the ordinary course of his business as a dealer in securities.

Discussion
Taxpayer has engaged in the securities business for many years under the trade name of Edward Lowber Stokes & Co. Until November 1931 the company was a partnership composed of taxpayer and his brother, but thereafter taxpayer carried on the business individually and as sole proprietor under the same firm name. Despite termination of


the partnership, taxpayer continued to file for each year a company return on Partnership Form 1065 showing the income from the business with himself as 100% distributee. In addition he filed Form 1040, the individual income tax return, showing as his distributive share from Edward Lowber Stokes and Company the amount set forth in Form 1065, as well as other income from personal investments and speculations.
In the Form 1065 return for 1936 taxpayer computed the company's income by inventorying the unsold securities on hand at their respective market values. Included among the securities in the closing inventory were four issues of United States Treasury bonds with a par value of $3,000,000 and twenty-two issues of miscellaneous *447 industrial securities. Shortly before the end of the taxable year taxpayerof tax resulting from overstatement of income and the alleged erroneous assessment for the taxable year 1936.

Municipal Bonds
(A) On December 31, 1935, taxpayer purchased Allegheny County 2¾% bonds par value $250,000 from Brown, Harriman and Company. Purchase of the bonds was financed by a loan from Fidelity-Philadelphia Trust Company to the extent of 99% of par value and the bonds were delivered directly to the bank as collateral. The purchase was entered in a company account entitled "Special Account  Participation: Company 150 M  W. Standley Stokes 100 M." The company disposed of bonds in the amount of $100,000 to various bond dealers between March 10 and September 29, 1936, the last sale of fifty bonds being made on that day. On September 29th plaintiff requested Mellon


National Bank to submit a bid for $100,000 bonds, which would have reduced plaintiff's holding to $50,000 bonds, but the bank was uninterested. The bonds were repeatedly advertised for sale in the "Blue List," a trade periodical circulated among dealers and other prospective purchasers, from February 20, 1936, to June 1936. Bonds in the value of $150,000 remaining in the account were transferred to "Personal B" account on December 18th and were not included in the closing inventory of 1936.
(B) On February 20, 1936, taxpayer opened a new account in his books for New York City 3¼% bonds. Numerous purchases were made from bond dealers between February 20th and May 21st, totalling $300,000 of these bonds. Between April 2nd and June 16th several sales were made to bondOn September 29th taxpayer sold $25,000 bonds from those deposited as collateral with the bank. The remaining bonds totalling $225,000 were transferred to the "Personal B" account on December 18th and were not included in inventory at the end of the year.
(D) Plaintiff purchased $100,000 of New York City 4% bonds on July 8, 1936, which were deposited with Fidelity-Philadelphia Trust Company as collateral on a loan. On August 31st, plaintiff's New York office transferred $50,000 bonds which had been purchased at a prior date to the Philadelphia office. Plaintiff offered this issue for sale in the Blue List several times during the month of August. On October 1st and November 25th plaintiff sold blocks of twenty-five bonds to bond dealers, reducing his holding to $100,000 of this


not have wire connections throughout the country which would enable the instant quotation of prices and instantaneous purchases and sales. This, however, does not prevent him from being a dealer. Helvering v. Fried, 299 U.S. 175, 57 S.Ct. 150, 81 L.Ed. 104.
On December 15, 1936, plaintiff exchanged $1,600,000 par value government notes and bonds for a new issue at the same par value, suffering a loss of $21,777.34, the difference between the original cost of the government securities and the par value of the new issue, which loss was reflected on his books. Plaintiff included his total holdings of government notes and bonds, totalling $3,000,000 par value, including the notes and bonds received in the exchange in his closing inventory for 1936.

Miscellaneous Listed Securities
On December 31, 1936, plaintiffincluded twenty-two miscellaneous industrial and railroad bonds and stocks in the closing inventory for income tax purposes which he now claims was an erroneous inclusion of profit. Except for one or two of the securities, they were listed on the stock exchange and were purchased in the open market from members of the Stock Exchange, of which plaintiff was not a member. These securities were carried in the so-called "Investments" account. This account was a miscellaneous, catch-all account in which plaintiff listed all securities which he did not desire to include in an individual or company account regardless of whether the security was, in fact, held for investment purposes. Plaintiff's books showed sixty-five purchases and twenty-five sales of securities listed in the "Investment" account and the value of


Commissioner's determination that plaintiff was a dealer in securities and that the securities were proper inventory items was arbitrary and capricious. He has not sustained this burden.
Plaintiff conducted his securities operations as "Edward Lowber Stokes & Co." with the principal office in Philadelphia and branch offices in New York City and Boston. The company was listed in "Security Dealers of North America," a trade publication, as participating distributors and dealers in municipal, railroad and public utility bonds. The company made offerings of municipal bonds in the "Blue List of Current Municipal Offerings," a trade publication in which purchases of securities were solicited by dealers. Taxpayer regularly sold his securities to a group of securities dealers and brokerage houses. They were his customers to whom he sold, without distinction,intended to hold the securities in question as investment items. He urges that he should not have been required to pay an inflated tax merely because the investment character of the securities was not clearly indicated on his books of account. Prior to 1931, when the partnership was an active dealer in securities, the bookkeeping system efficiently reflected the merchandising of securities and the inventories of stock on hand. After the retirement of plaintiff's brother from the partnership, the argument continues, plaintiff shifted his activities from merchandising to investing on his own account. It never occurred to him that this change in the nature of his business necessitated a change in the system of accounts in order to separate the investment items.
This alleged subjective intent is inconsistent with


much of the evidence produced. Plaintiff had expert accounting advice available at all times. It is inconceivable that his accountants were unfamiliar with rulings of the Commissioner and with the necessity of separating investment items. During this entire period plaintiff carried a separate personal account on his books but, strangely enough, failed to carry therein any of the securities he now claims to be investments.
The fact that almost the entire purchase price of the securities was borrowed from banks is inconsistent with an intention to hold the securities for investment purposes. The slightest fluctuation in the market would require disposal of the securities. It is of little significance that plaintiff held the securities over a period of months before their sale early in 1937. If a security isI have numerous affiliations with the different strands of the neoconservative movement. I was a student of Strauss's protégé Allan Bloom, who wrote the bestseller "The Closing of the American Mind"; worked at Rand and with Wohlstetter on Persian Gulf issues; and worked also on two occasions for Wolfowitz. Many people have also interpreted my book "The End of History and the Last Man" (1992) as a neoconservative tract, one that argued in favor of the view that there is a universal hunger for liberty in all people that will inevitably lead them to liberal democracy, and that we are living in the midst of an accelerating, transnational movement in favor of that liberal democracy. This is a misreading of the argument. "The End of History" is in


be pushed along with the right application of power and will. Leninism was a tragedy in its Bolshevik version, and it has returned as farce when practiced by the United States. Neoconservatism, as both a political symbol and a body of thought, has evolved into something I can no longer support.

The Failure of Benevolent Hegemony

The Bush administration and its neoconservative supporters did not simply underestimate the difficulty of bringing about congenial political outcomes in places like Iraq; they also misunderstood the way the world would react to the use of American power. Of course, the cold war was replete with instances of what the foreign policy analyst Stephen Sestanovich calls American maximalism, wherein Washington acted first and sought legitimacy and support from its allies only after the fact.of morality that other nations find they have less to fear from its otherwise daunting power." (Italics added.)

It is hard to read these lines without irony in the wake of the global reaction to the Iraq war, which succeeded in uniting much of the world in a frenzy of anti-Americanism. The idea that the United States is a hegemon more benevolent than most is not an absurd one, but there were warning signs that things had changed in America's relationship to the world long before the start of the Iraq war. The structural imbalance in global power had grown enormous. America surpassed the rest of the world in every dimension of power by an unprecedented margin, with its defense spending nearly equal to that of the rest of


the world combined. Already during the Clinton years, American economic hegemony had generated enormous hostility to an American-dominated process of globalization, frequently on the part of close democratic allies who thought the United States was seeking to impose its antistatist social model on them.

There were other reasons as well why the world did not accept American benevolent hegemony. In the first place, it was premised on American exceptionalism, the idea that America could use its power in instances where others could not because it was more virtuous than other countries. The doctrine of pre-emption against terrorist threats contained in the 2002 National Security Strategy was one that could not safely be generalized through the international system; America would be the first country to object if Russia, China, Indiafor further costly interventions. Americans are not, at heart, an imperial people. Even benevolent hegemons sometimes have to act ruthlessly, and they need a staying power that does not come easily to people who are reasonably content with their own lives and society.

Finally, benevolent hegemony presumed that the hegemon was not only well intentioned but competent as well. Much of the criticism of the Iraq intervention from Europeans and others was not based on a normative case that the United States was not getting authorization from the United Nations Security Council, but rather on the belief that it had not made an adequate case for invading Iraq in the first place and didn't know what it was doing in trying to democratize Iraq. In this, the critics were


the President does not trust the agency?

Well, there is the media which can be used to control explanations and to box in the President. In his just published book, The CIA As Organized Crime, Douglas Valentine reports that by the early 1950s the success of the CIA’s Operation Mockingbird delivered into CIA hands respected members of the New York Times, Newsweek, CBS, other communication organizations plus stringers, coming to four to six hundred human media assets. And it didn’t end there.

“The CIA established a strategic intelligence network of magazines and publishing houses, as well as student and cultural organizations, and used them as front organizations for covert operations, including political and psychological warfare operations directed against American citizens. In other nations, the program was aimed at what Cordfor keeps. Trump is a strong man, but don’t be surprised if he comes out of the briefing with the CIA accepting their story as he might be brought to the realization that the alternative to compliance with the CIA could be death.

Heli (2013)

Heli (2013)

Director: Amat Escalante Country: MexicoRuntime: 105 min

Heli (Armando Espitia), the protagonist of Amat Escalante's 2013 Palme
d'Or nominee of the same name, is a young Mexican who lives with his
father, his son, his young wife (Linda Gonzalez) and 12-year-old sister,
Estella (Andrea Vergara). He's prone to bad luck, keen on his naps and,
when a census taker comes to the house, hesitates about how many people
live there with him. However, when 17-year-old army cadet Beto (Juan
Eduardo Palacios) falls in love with Estella and makes plans for the two
of them to run away together, Heli's cataclysmic knee-jerk reaction
will plunge the family into pitiless and brutal violence.

Narrative films concerned with roving drug gangs, political corruption
and barbaric acts of extreme and horrendous violence are depressingly
common nowadays and have formedthe backdrop for several high profile
Hollywood movies in recent years, including Oliver Stone's Savages
(2012) and Mexico's own Miss Bala (2011). However, Escalante's Heli -
the director of Sangre, Los Bastardos and a close friend of fellow
countryman Carlos Reygadas (Silent Light, Post Tenebras Lux) - provides
us with an uncompromisingly dark look at his nation's plight, showing
clearly how some families live in impossible situations with no hope of
escape, short of keeping their heads down and fingers crossed.

The details are telling: the American advisor who implements the most
disgusting and degrading humiliations on his cadet students; the doctors
who refuse abortions to rape victims; the politicians who will burn
drugs as a photo opportunity but will do nothing to address the real
problem. The brutality on display in Heli is at times almost impossible
to watch, as


Many University of Michigan students, staff, and faculty members reside in Detroit. Additionally, many students, staff, and faculty members who live in Ann Arbor, visit (or would like to visit) Detroit regularly.

Currently, the U-M Detroit Center Connector makes multiple round-trips between Ann Arbor and Detroit three days per week. The U-M Detroit Center Connector has been a great success; allowing students, staff, and faculty to live, visit, and hold jobs in Detroit, and faculty to hold classes, meetings, and field trips in Detroit.

The University of Michigan has agreed to fund round-trip service for 3 days per week over the coming year. We propose that the University fund service for the remaining 4 days per week, providing daily round-trip service from 8am to 10pm, Monday through Sunday, to accommodatean outlet for investors to share in their profits." Yikes!

Following a reversal in their fortunes in the post-crisis era, those profits are now substantial -- as one might expect for companies that operate a government-sanctioned oligopoly in the housing finance market. Between the lure of those profits and the huge volatility in the shares, which created a self-reinforcing momentum effect, both stocks have attracted enormous interest from hedge funds and other speculators:

You're not reading those percentage returns incorrectly: Both stocks have seen nearly 14-fold increases in share price over the past 12 months!

Even as the latest plan emerged from Congress, it shouldn't come as a complete surprise to investors if they are treated as second-class citizens, as there is a precedent for such behavior. Fannie Mae and Freddie


The Searchers Interview

The Searchers were one of the most influential groups to emerge from the heady days of the Mersey era. They notched up a run of over 18 hit records, including three number ones - Sweets For My Sweet, Needles & Pins and Don't Throw Your Love Away.

Named after the classic 1956 John Wayne movie, The Searchers came together in the early sixties and like their fellow Liverpudlians, the Beatles, they headed for the revered Star Club in Hamburg. There they developed their repertoire and unique sound, playing alongside such US greats as Ray Charles and Gene Vincent, and met bassist Frank Allen, who joined the band in 1964.

In a remarkable career now spanning five decades, The Searchers are still led by John McNally and Frank Allenwe cared more about the band and the music. Mike would probably have a different opinion about that."

The issue never really goes away, according to Frank.

"It was always a bit of a toothache hanging around to know that there was a rival outfit going around competing for the same work. We're often having to warn clubs because they're mis-advertising and so on, but it's just something we have to deal with in the end. Some things in life you have to go along with and get over."

After all the anxiety, life turned out well for the remaining Searchers.

"Mike leaving coincided with the year that things really took off. Up to the beginning of '86 it was going well but as soon as '86 kicked in it spurted forward.


We went on a great big tour of the States which was phenomenal, and started the Solid Silver Sixties tour the year after which was sold out everywhere from beginning to end, and is still going now 20 odd years later.

"We did Wembley Stadium with Cliff Richard, in front of 80,000 people, and the Millennium New Years Eve with Cliff, then he sang with us the year before last at the show we did at Wentworth. All these special things just keep happening to us. We've been lucky to a great extent and clever in another way."

The Searchers have certainly been through a lot since Frank joined the band. He seems to have found the pressure of those early days easy compared to more recent times. He toldme how he met the group.

"I'd known the band before they made it anyway. I was in a recording band and they were not a recording band. Cliff Bennett and the Rebel Rousers was one of the most highly thought of bands in the British isles, it was a phenomenal band. Cliff Bennett was and still is one of the best rhythm and blues singers anywhere by a yard, and the big band with sax and keyboards was fantastic. I was in that band for three years and loved it, but then I'd met The Searchers at the end of 1962 at the Star Club in Hamburg and got on with them really well. They'd only just turned professional and were dreaming of a record contract whereas by


what are you doing getting that southern jessie in the band? It was like that for a long time, only with a few, but there were times in Liverpool when some people were very vocal about it and it would upset me.

"Most of the people there took to me and I took to them very well indeed and it's never a problem now. Gradually over the years they got used to me and I would like to think they liked me as well. It's my second home really. Liverpool's a great city, full of character, full of great people, and I love going there."

One of the amazing aspects of the Mersey era was the amount of success British bands had in the USA, and for Frank and TheSearchers it marked the beginning of a relationship that has lasted until today.

"The first time for me was back in '64 and that was my dream because I never ever thought I'd get to America. That's where our music started and I desperately wanted to be there."

He remembers being part of an astounding line-up one week at the Fox theatre in Brooklyn.

"It was a Murray the K show, with a bill like you'd never believe. We were the big cheese at that time, because if you were British you were gods, all the kids flocked there to see us. There was Dusty Springfield and Millie with My Boy Lollipop - we were the English contingent. Then there was Marvin Gaye, Martha & the Vandellas, the Supremes, the Miracles,


recorded it on one of their albums and he was desperate to get on stage. It was great. Joey Ramone came to see us in the early '80s, so it's nice to know these people have been affected by our music."

This summer, after playing in a New York rock club, casinos in Canada, Las Vegas and Disneyworld, The Searchers are back in the UK, promoting their The Very Best Of album. This release is proving to be popular reaching number 11 in the UK album charts.

"I left choosing the tracks to John. It's difficult, especially over a wide ranging period. Everyone has their favourites, but there are none I wouldn't have on albums. It's a pretty good history of the band, it covers up to the Fire periodthe cabinet comprises 6 females and 35 males. It reflects the majority coalition in Parliament. It is composed of the winning Coalition of the Radical Left (SYRIZA) with the support of the right-wing anti-austerity party, Independent Greeks (ANEL). The Ecologist Greens (OP), which had withdrawn from the election in support of SYRIZA, were given the office of Alternate Minister of Environment and Energy. Finally, some ministers do not belong to any party.

Oath of office
Most members of the cabinet were sworn in on 27 January 2015, with the exception of the new Minister of Justice Nikos Paraskevopoulos , who was sworn in a day later, and the Alternate Ministers Christodoulopoulou, Spirtzis and Fotakis who were sworn in almost two months later.

While most representatives of Syriza chose a civil oath

Will Melania Trump move to the White House?

Melania Trump, along with her 10-year-old son Barron, will be moving to the White House “right after [Barron] finishes school,” according to President-elect Donald Trump.

Trump told reporters gathered Sunday in Bedminster, New Jersey that the two members of the first family will make the move from Manhattan to Washington, D.C. “very soon.”

The 46-year-old Melania Trump and her husband expressed “sensitivity” about moving their son to the White House, according to Trump’s transition team. The concern was for Barron to remain at Trump Tower in Manhattan, where the youngest Trump can continue his education at an Upper West Side private school.

Such a move would be highly unusual for a modern first lady, though it’s not unheard of for some members of thefirst family to live away from the White House. For instance, Barbara and Jenna Bush, the fraternal twin daughters of President George W. Bush, were both in college at the time their father was president and lived away from home.

Spokesmen for Mr. Trump’s transition team said no formal statement has yet been released about the future first lady’s living situation. But according to Jason Miller, the the transition team’s communications director, there is “obvious sensitivity to pulling their ten-year old out of school in the middle of the year.”

Try to imagine a world without Walt Disney. A world without his magic, whimsy, and optimism. WaltDisney transformed the entertainment industry, into what we know today. He pioneered the fields of animation, and found new ways to teach, and educate.

Walt’s optimism came from his unique ability to see the entire picture. His views and visions, came from the fond memory of yesteryear, and persistence for the future. Walt loved history. As a result of this, he didn’t give technology to us piece by piece, he connected it to his ongoing mission of making life more enjoyable, and fun. Walt was our bridge from the past to the future.

During his 43-year Hollywood career, which spanned the development of the motion picture industry as a modern American art, Walter EliasDisney established himself and his innovations as a genuine part of Americana.

A pioneer and innovator, and the possessor of one of the most fertile and unique imaginations the world has ever known. Walt Disney could take the dreams of America, and make them come true. He was a creator, a imaginative, and aesthetic person. Even thirty years after his death, we still continue to grasp his ideas, and his creations, remembering him for everything he’s done for us.

Later, after Walt’s birth, the Disney family moved to Marceline, Missouri. Walt lived out most of his childhood here. Walt had a very early interest in drawing, and art. When he was seven years old, he sold small sketches, and drawings to nearby neighbors. Instead of doing his school work Walt


doodled pictures of animals, and nature. His knack for creating enduring art forms took shape when he talked his sister, Ruth, into helping him paint the side of the family’s house with tar.Walter Elias Disney was born on December 5, 1901 in Chicago Illinois, to his father, Elias Disney, an Irish-Canadian, and his mother, Flora Call Disney, who was of German-American descent. Walt was one of five children, four boys and a girl.

Close to the Disney family farm, there were Santa Fe Railroad tracks that crossed the countryside. Often Walt would put his ear against the tracks, to listen for approaching trains. Walt’s uncle, Mike Martin, was a train engineer who worked the route between Fort Madison, Iowa, and Marceline. Walt later worked a summer job with therailroad, selling newspapers, popcorn, and sodas to travelers.

During his life Walt would often try to recapture the freedom he felt when aboard those trains, by building his own miniature train set. Then building a 1/8-scale backyard railroad, theCarolwood Pacific or Lilly Bell.

Besides his other interests, Walt attended McKinley High School in Chicago. There, Disney divided his attention between drawing and photography, and contributing to the school paper. At night he attended the Academy of Fine Arts, to better his drawing abilities.

Walt discovered his first movie house on Marceline’s Main Street. There he saw a dramatic black-and-white recreation of the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ.

During these “carefree years” of country living young Walt began to love, and appreciate nature and wildlife, and family and community, which were a large


part of agrarian living. Though his father could be quite stern, and often there was little money, Walt was encouraged by his mother, and older brother, Roy.

Even after the Disney family moved to Kansas City, Walt continued to develop and flourish in his talent for artistic drawing. Besides drawing, Walt had picked up a knack for acting and performing. At school he began to entertain his friends by imitating his silent screen hero, Charlie Chaplin. At his teachers invitation, Walt would tell his classmates stories, while illustrating on the chalk board. Later on, against his fathers permission, Walt would sneak out of the house at night to perform comical skits at local theaters.

During the fall of 1918, Disney attempted to enlist for military service. Rejected because he wasunder age, only sixteen years old at the time. Instead, Walt joined the Red Cross and was sent overseas to France, where he spent a year driving an ambulance and chauffeuring Red Cross officials. His ambulance was covered from stem to stern, not with stock camouflage, but with Disney cartoons.

Once he returned from France, he wanted to pursue a career in commercial art, which soon lead to his experiments in animation. He began producing short animated films for local businesses, in Kansas City. By the time Walt had started to create The Alice Comedies, which was about a real girl and her adventures in an animated world, Walt ran out of money, and his company Laugh-O-Grams went bankrupted. Instead of giving up, Walt packed his suitcase and with


his unfinished print of The Alice Comedies in hand, headed for Hollywood to start a new business. He was not yet twenty-two.

The early flop of The Alice Comedies inoculated Walt against fear of failure; he had risked it all three or four times in his life. Walt’s brother, Roy O. Disney, was already in California, with an immense amount of sympathy and encouragement, and $250. Pooling their resources, they borrowed an additional $500, and set up shop in their uncle’s garage. Soon, they received an order from New York for the first Alice in Cartoonland(The Alice Comedies) featurette, and the brothers expanded their production operation to the rear of a Hollywood real estate office. It was Walt’s enthusiasm and faith in himself, and others, that took him straightto the top of Hollywood society.

Although, Walt wasn’t the typical Hollywood mogul. Instead of socializing with the “who’s who” of the Hollywood entertainment industry, he would stay home and have dinner with his wife, Lillian, and his daughters, Diane and Sharon. In fact, socializing was a bit boring to Walt Disney. Usually he would dominate a conversation, and hold listeners spellbound as he described his latest dreams or ventures. The people that where close to Walt were those who lived with him, and his ideas, or both.

On July 13, 1925, Walt married one of his first employees, Lillian Bounds, in Lewiston, Idaho. Later on they would be blessed with two daughters, Diane and Sharon . Three years after Walt and Lilly wed, Walt created a new animated character,


Mickey Mouse.

His talents were first used in a silent cartoon entitled Plane Crazy. However, before the cartoon could be released, sound was introduced upon the motion picture industry. Thus, Mickey Mouse made his screen debut in Steamboat Willie, the world’s first synchronized sound cartoon, which premiered at the Colony Theater in New York on November 18, 1928.

On December 21, 1937, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the first full-length animated musical feature, premiered at the Carthay Theater in Los Angeles. The film produced at the unheard cost of $1,499,000 during the depths of the Depression, the film is still considered one of the great feats and imperishable monuments of the motion picture industry. During the next five years, Walt Disney Studios completed other full-length animated classics such asPinocchio, Fantasia, Dumbo, and Bambi.Walt’s drive to perfect the art of animation was endless. Technicolor was introduced to animation during the production of his Silly Symphonies Cartoon Features. Walt Disney held the patent for Technicolor for two years, allowing him to make the only color cartoons. In 1932, the production entitledFlowers and Trees won Walt the first of his studio’s Academy Awards. In 1937, he released The Old Mill, the first short subject to utilize the multi-plane camera technique.

Walt rarely showed emotion, though he did have a temper that would blow over as it blew up. At home, he was affectionate and understanding. He gave love by being interested, involved, and always there for his family and friends. Walt’s daughter, Diane Disney Miller, once said:

Daddy never missed a


World War II 94 percent of the Disney facilities were engaged in special government work, including the production of training and propaganda films for the armed services, as well as health films which are still shown through-out the world by the U.S. State Department. The remainder of his efforts were devoted to the production of comedy short subjects, deemed highly essential to civilian and military morale.

Disney’s 1945 feature, the musical The Three Caballeros, combined live action with the cartoon animation, a process he used successfully in such other features as Song of the Southand the highly acclaimed Mary Poppins. In all, more than 100 features were produced by his studio.

Walt’s inquisitive mind and keen sense for education through entertainment resulted in the award-winning True-Life Adventure series.

It wasn’t one of Donald Trump’s rallies; he was back in New York City, pledging that he would soon be unveiling new derogatory information about Hillary Clinton shortly after a planned meeting between members of his campaign and a Kremlin-linked attorney (which he asserts he didn’t know about).

It was a rally for Senator Bernie Sanders, whose bid for the Democratic Party presidential nomination had been out of reach for some time but which the primaries that night officially made impossible. This was before WikiLeaks released documents stolen from the Democratic National Committee showing that CNN


CNN declined to take him up on his offer. The ratings for the second debate were also strong.

In late November, he complained to a rally audience about a bad story from CNN (“I love hitting them!”), but by December he was praising the network again for its “great, great” poll that came out showing him in the lead in Iowa.

In January, his complaint about another “great” CNN poll took a different form, as he alleged that the network would not use its own poll in favour of one from another outlet. The theme over and over: CNN, like the rest of the mainstream media and the establishment, waseven when it seems hopeless.

One of the things that surprised me in reading Winston Churchill's history of World War II is how frequently he succumbed to despair during the run-up to the Second World War when he could see where things were headed, and afterward,when he finally took power and the Nazis were expected to invade at any moment.

Sir Winston referred to these periods of depression as 'the black dog'...but he made a point of never sharing these emotions with anyone, and indeed made a point of acting especially cheery and unperturbed when things seemed darkest. And there were plenty of such moments.

He understood instinctively one of William James' basic principles of psychology, that moods are infectious and affect others and that a positive attitude, even a partially


A 35-year-old school administrator from Japan has ‘married’ the hologram of a virtual reality pop star named Hatsune Miku.

Miku, who is characterised as a 16-year-old girl with long turquoise pigtails and giant saucer-shaped eyes is a bit of a phenomenon in Japan.

She’s actually a computer program and has had chart-topping songs and sell-out concerts where she appears as a hologram.

But for Akihiko Kondo, the relationship is a little more personal.

‘I’m in love with the whole concept of Hatsune Miku but I got married to the Miku of my house,’ he said.

The Miku of his house is a personalised hologram of the singer that floats inside a $2,800 desktop capsule. A personalised hologram he loves so much thathe paid $17,600 on a formal ceremony at a hall in Tokyo that was witnessed by 40 guests.

The hologram couldn’t make it to the ceremony so she was represented by a stuffed doll likeness.

‘I never cheated on her, I’ve always been in love with Miku-san,’ Kondo said of his bride.

They’ve been living together since March.

He considers himself an ordinary married man—his holographic wife wakes him up each morning and sends him off to his job at the school.

In the evening, when he tells her by cellphone that he’s coming home, she turns on the lights. Later, she tells him when it’s time to go to bed.

Professor Yoshikawa was in the UK this month as part of a delegation of 90 academic colleagues for an international symposium that hoped to cement the growing bond between the two institutions.

Discussions ranged from building on existing research collaborations in subjects from economic theory to developing artificial skin, to laying the foundations for staff and student exchanges and sharing resources in technology transfer.

Although the size of such a meeting may be unprecedented, bilateral collaboration between universities on opposite sides of the globe is an increasingly popular phenomenon - and one that is firmly supported by the UK government.

The Bristol symposium, held between 9 and 11 January, was partly funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council’s Building Global Engagements in


international. According to the Royal Society, in 2011 more than a third of all articles published in international journals were globally collaborative compared with a quarter 15 years previously.

Estimates suggest that the UK is already ahead of the curve. The percentage of UK papers produced with international partners is likely to have risen from about 33 per cent in 2003 to 45 per cent in 2012, said Jonathan Adams, director of research evaluation for Thomson Reuters.

Overall, the number of UK articles produced in the five years from 2008 to 2012 was 17 per cent higher than in the period 2003 to 2007. But the number of articles co-authored with international partners grew at a much greater rate, data from the Web of Science show: the number of paperswould continue to explore the need to do so.

But although China shows plenty of interest in working with the UK, the latter is not its top priority, Dr Greated said. The US heads the list of China’s desirable collaborator countries on account of the cultural ties between the two nations based on immigrant communities.

Competition is growing from Germany and Australia, too, with 39 of 41 higher education institutions in the latter country already holding formal agreements with Chinese institutions, according to Universities Australia.

Turkish authorities say they have arrested a suspected Islamic State member they believe was planning to attack the Anzac commemorations at Gallipoli attended by hundreds of Australians and New Zealanders.

Key points: Turkish media reported the Syrian suspect simply as "A H"

Hundreds of Australians are expected to attend ANAZC services at Gallipoli The Turkish president last month made comments about Australians returning "in caskets"

The suspect, a 26-year-old Syrian national, was detained in Tekirdag, a north-western province close to the Gallipoli peninsula, a local police spokesman told Reuters.

Turkish security sources told the ABC that the planned attack on Gallipoli was in retaliation for the Christchurch mosque attacks.

Authorities evacuated the memorialsite and searched for bombs or other threats, but found nothing. Hundreds of Australians and New Zealanders are expected to attend services there later today.

Turkey banned its own citizens from attending the Anzac Day dawn service due to security concerns.

The suspect was identified in Turkish media simply as "A H", but the name Abdulkerim H later emerged, along with a blurred passport photo.

The IS suspect was arrested at 7:00am on Wednesday, and the arrest was connected to earlier arrests of IS suspects in the past 10 days.

Four Syrian suspects were arrested on April 16, including an alleged IS emir, or team leader. One other suspect was arrested on April 18.

Hundreds of Australians on Gallipoli pilgrimage

On Wednesday, soldiers from New Zealand, Australia, Turkey and other countries held several services on the peninsula.

At dawn today, Australians and New Zealanders were due to hold a special dawn service marking the landings by Anzac forces.

The police spokesman did not specify which day the detained suspect may have been planning to carry out the alleged attack.

Turkey has said IS was responsible for several bombings that took place in 2015 and 2016, which in total killed some 200 people.

Although the militant group has not been activein Turkey of late, authorities still carry out routine operations against suspected IS members.

Christchurch 'retaliation'

This year's Anzac service comes a month after a lone gunman killed 50 people in two mosques in the city of Christchurch on March 15.

Following the Christchurch mosque shootings, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan criticised New Zealand and Australia for sending troops to Turkey in the World War I Gallipoli campaign, claiming their motive was anti-Islam.

"Your grandparents came here … and they returned in caskets," he said.

"Have no doubt we will send you back like your grandfathers."

Mr Erdogan played a video from the shootings at local election rallies and said the gunman had targeted Turkey by saying in a manifesto posted online that Turks should be removed from the European half of Istanbul.

The comments drew sharp rebuke from Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, who called in the Turkish ambassador for a meeting, while New Zealand has sent Foreign Minister Winston Peters to confront Mr Erdogan.

The President's spokesman later said his comments had been taken out of context.

ABC/ReutersAs every Millennial knows, Backyard Baseball is the children's computer game in which neighborhood boys and girls play pickup ball with kid-sized incarnations of everyone's favorite major leaguers. The 2001 edition, for example, featured the likes of Mike Piazza and Barry Bonds, traveling across distance and time for the honor of running around a suburban lawn with such characters as Jorge "Bonkers" Garcia. To a kid of the early aughts—back when MLB could more innocently attach its license to children's fare (Hey, kids! You can play as Jose Canseco!)—the game was irresistible.

The best player in Backyard Baseball, pro or kid, has always been Pablo "The Secret Weapon" Sanchez. Pablo is a short Hispanic boy with a knack for pounding baseballs incredible distances, despite his slight stature. Born a


Leo (Aug. 18), he spoke exclusively Spanish in all of the Backyard Sports games until Backyard Baseball 2003, when he revealed that he learned Spanish in school and was fluent in English the whole time. (Good thing John Rocker never shows up in this backyard.)

Because he is so much better than everyone else, and because he is competing against actual MLB stars, the game practically invites the question: What would Pablo Sanchez be like as a real-life professional baseball player?

We're going to try and answer that question here.

Projecting Pablo

In the game, players are rated on only four categories (batting, running, pitching, fielding) on a precise scale ranging from 1-10 baseballs. Pablo's batting rates a 10, his running a 9, his pitching a 5, and fielding a 10. Curiousas to how the creators of Backyard Baseball (specifically Backyard Baseball 2001) decided to rate the pros as children, I looked into how the players' video-game ratings matched up with actual on-field performance.

I started by tallying the numbers of the featured major leaguers in the three years prior to their appearance in the game, adjusted for playing time. Rather than using advanced stats like WAR and VORP, I looked at the type of measurements that I assumed the folks at Humongous Entertainment were using to judge players in the heuristic dark ages of the turn of the millennium: home runs, RBI, and batting average.

By regressing the Backyard Baseball ratings of the major leaguers against their real-life stats, I was able to figure out which ones mattered most to


the programmers. (I go into more detail about my methods at the bottom of the post.) It turns out that only the player's batting rating was useful in the prediction. From there, we can extrapolate what an average season for Pablo would look like: 48 home runs, 128 RBIs, and a .649 slugging percentage. Based on the rest of his ratings, Pablo would also steal 21 bases out of 29 attempts per year, hit five triples or so, and win three Gold Gloves within the first 10 years of his career. I even figure he'd weigh about 180 pounds.

For the hell of it, I ran the numbers for five other Backyard kids, and projected their average seasons from 1998 to 2000:

Tony Delvecchio Pete

Wheeler Keisha Phillips Luanne

Lui Kenny Kawaguchipredictors (stats indicating speed, as it turned out). I then substituted in Pablo's predicted numbers to find the probability of him being an infielder. The first test yielded only a 28 percent chance that he would be an infielder.

So even though he was a great shortstop in his youth, he would probably be an outfielder in the pros—I predict a center fielder due to his speed. An interesting side note: I poked around, looking to find some people who have put up similar numbers to those predicted for Pablo. The two closest comps I could locate were Albert Pujols and Alex Rodriguez. Sure enough, Pujols was a solid outfielder before making the switch to first base, and A-Rod was a premier shortstop before moving to the Yankees. Here


(Remember: All players are assigned pitching ratings, even the MLB position players.) The only variable that was significant in estimating pitching rating was whether the player was actually a pitcher (obviously). No other variables significantly explained the rating, which leads me to believe that the ratings for position players were chosen rather arbitrarily, but there was somewhat of an inverse relationship between pitching rating and the other ratings given to the players. Players with relatively high pitching ratings tended to be rated poorly across the board elsewhere. This is probably because Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling naturally had lower hitting stats than everybody else. The only exception was Alex "Little Mitt" Gonzalez, the lowest-ranked pro player in the game, who was below average to terrible at pitching andruns per year, above or below the league average, that can be attributed to a player's defensive contribution. This more accurate statistic proved to be statistically significant in predicting fielding rating, presumably because it gives a better understanding of a player's defensive performance.

The main indicator by a long shot, however, was number of Gold Gloves won, showing that prestige held a fair amount of weight when assigning fielding ratings. Also, raw number of Gold Gloves was a better indicator of fielding rating than was the number of Gold Gloves won divided by number of years in the league, which means that younger players were discriminated against because they had less time to develop a reputation as a good fielder.

Summer is coming to an end for the two smart, resourceful animated stepbrothers who are the leads for Disney XD’s “Phineas and Ferb” as the show wraps up production after 126 episodes, five one-hour specials, three Emmy Awards (nine nominations) and a record-breaking Disney Channel original movie.

Animation producers Dan Povenmire and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh are moving on from the tales of Phineas Flynn and Ferb Fletcher, two kids constantly trying to conquer boredom during their summer vacation with adventures and inventions.

Imagine Alex Salmond with a TV channel

Today I spoke with a person who participated in the Better Together campaign in Scotland. He was asked about the role of public media during the campaign, since the Catalan publicly owned media is playing a key role in the mobilization of pro-independence supporters in Catalonia. He explained that the BBC had been neutral all along. The Better Together campaign not always agreed with the broadcaster, but whenever the campaign had some complaint, they delivered it privately. Instead, the Yes campaign organized rallies against the BBC, which was accused by them of biased coverage. The Yes campaign intimidated and harassed BBC and other journalists. It was part of what some have referred to as the tendency of the pro-independence


tradition of biased public television from the years of one single (francoist) channel, decentralization involved the creation of TV channels in all the regions, all of them being absolutely biased in favour of their regional governments. The Catalan TV is a case in point, and its bias has intensified in the last few years, and has played a key role in the intensification of the pro-secession fervour. If you are British, try to imagine a TV channel at the absolute service of Alex Salmond and the yes campaign. If that had been the case, probably David Cameron would have thought twice about the wisdom of calling a referendum, and today most European governments would not be thinking that he was the most irresponsible of the European leaders forour observation that exogeneous sialidase treatment enhances the infectivity of HA-expressing pseudoparticles.

In our experiments, the enhancement of HA-mediated membrane fusion by NA was more prominent in the infectivity assay than in the fusion assay. Correspondingly, the HA:NA ratio at which enhancement reached a plateau was lower in the infectivity assay than in the fusion assay. These differences could relate to the number of HA trimer complexes that are competent for the formation of a fusion pore, which may differ at the surface of a cell expressing and at the surface of a virion. They could also relate to the different cell types used in the two assays.

The present invention relates to cationic electrodepositable compositions and to the use of these compositions in the method of cationic electrodeposition.
Electrodeposition as a coating application method involves deposition of a film-forming composition under the influence of an applied electrical potential. Electrodeposition has become increasingly important in the coatings industry because by comparison with nonelectrophoretic coating means, electrodeposition offers higher plant utilization, outstanding corrosion protection and low environmental contamination. Initially, electrodeposition was conducted with the workpiece being coated serving as the anode. This was familiarly referred to as anionic electrodeposition. However, in 1972, cationic electrodeposition was introduced commercially. Since that time, cationic electrodeposition has steadily gained in popularity and today is by far the most prevalent method of electrodeposition.

Milner acknowledged the investments in chats with the Guardian, but maintained that neither Facebook nor Twitter were told where the funding for the investments had come from. He added that he didn't know Gazprom had supported the Facebook stake, and that VTB's backing didn't give it a say over Twitter's decisions. The companies at the center of the storm have distanced themselves, too: Facebook said it sold the Gazprom investment 5 years ago, while Twitter said it reviewed all investors before it went public "as a matter of policy."

Still, the subject is complicated by Milner's own connections: he funded Jared Kushner's startup Cadre. Milner denied backing "any political activity" by the President's son-in-law and said he only met Kushner once, in 2016, but the link certainly doesn't helpgames at Armor Games!

Crypto markets collapsed as the Bitcoin Cash hard fork panicked investors today. After weeks of speculation regarding the split, which is led by rival billionaires, the market finally decided that the uncertainty over Bitcoin SV and Bitcoin ABC had reached breaking point.

The Bitcoin Cash selloff began at around 09:04 UTC as volume increased dramatically. After trading at around $520 this morning, BCH fell off a cliff as investors ran for the hills, plunging the price as low as $410 and leading a wider market selloff in which Ethereum and altcoins suffered most.

The altcoins and Ethereum began to plummet shortly after the BCH selloff, with coins dropping in unison between 09:34 UTC and 09:44


hectares of land in Estonia since mid-August, 66 hectares of which consists of forested land. The company currently owns a total of 6,199 hectares of land, 5,366 hectares of which currently remains forested land.

IKEA plans to open an office specializing in the purchase of land, the first such office in the country, in the Southern Estonian city of Tartu before the end of this year. It already has similar offices in the Latvian capital of Riga as well as in Kaunas, Lithuania's second biggest city.

Chairman of the Social Democratic Party (SDE) and former minister of health and labour, Jevgeni Ossinovski expects poverty in Estonia to decrease as an effect of the current government's income tax reform, though the actual impact will become clear only after data is evaluatedSINGAPORE - A video on antibiotic resistance has won Singapore student Deanna See a US$250,000 (S$356,000) scholarship from a foundation funded by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.

Deanna, 17, a student at Raffles Institution (RI), was one of the finalists of the Breakthrough Junior Challenge, a global science video competition that attracted more than 6,000 entries from 146 countries.

The annual challenge, which requires students to explain a challenging theory or concept in mathematics, life sciences or physics with an original video, crowned two winners this year - Deanna and 18-year-old Peruvian student Antonella Masini.

Deanna's five-minute clip - titled "Superbugs! And Our Race Against Resistance" - saw her demystify antibiotic resistance in an engaging manner, using props such as Lego figurines.

Antonella's video focused on quantum entanglement.

Both students gave speeches during the


Breakthrough Prize gala ceremony, which was televised live, at San Francisco's Silicon Valley on Sunday (Dec 4, US time).

Their reward: Up to US$400,000 in education prizes, consisting of a US$250,000 scholarship, a US$50,000 prize for a teacher who inspired them and a state-of-the-art science laboratory valued at US$100,000.

A report by GeekWire said Deanna had chosen to award the US$50,000 prize to her biology teacher Wong Seok Hui. But as Mrs Wong is a civil servant, she is unable to receive the prize and will direct it to RI's scholarship programme instead.

The lab prize will be donated to Raffles Girls' School, Deanna's alma mater.

The prizes are funded by Mr Zuckerberg, his wife Priscilla Chan, and Russian physicist Yuri Milner and his wife Julia via the Breakthrough Prize Foundation.

Were it not for policy, EBRD might take part in construction of the Central Ring Road, toll roads and the bridge across the Kama River in Tatarstan, Pankin said. "These are major infrastructural projects all development banks like," he added.

The management of EBRD made a decision on temporary suspension of funding new projects in Russia in July 2014 in view of introduction of sanctions against Russia.

Russia will focus on other international development institutions, Minister of Economic Development Maxim Oreshkin said earlier.

In addition to mutual recognition of their trusted shipper programs, CBP and CBSA have a pilot program under way at the Port of Prince Rupert that enables Canadian officers to inspect certain high-risk shipments on behalf of CBP so that intermodal trains full of import containers do not have to be reinspected at the land border.

The six-second clip, which the billionaire tech mogul posted on his Twitter page on Wednesday, shows an unrecognizable Bezos sporting elaborate prosthetics on his face and head enjoying a meal, presumably during the filming of Star Trek Beyond.

The short video also shows the high-powered 'Trekkie' washing down his dinner with water from a plastic bottle sipped through a straw.

The video was accompanied by a post that read: 'Bucket list. Cast, crew and Justin Lin @trailingjohnson were amazing. #StarTrekBeyond.’

Filmmaker Justin Lin, who directed the upcoming Star Trek film, also took to Twitter Wednesday and shared a still photo depicting Bezos in character on set.

'Great thing about making Trek is having passionate people drop by, like @JeffBezos. Here he is with Lydia Wilson,' Lin tweeted.

The photo shows Bezos' unnamed character in full Starfleet uniform standing opposite Ms Wilsoin's Kalara.

Bezos, 52, is listed as a 'Starfleet official' in the closing credits of Star Trek Beyond, which had preview screenings earlier this week ahead of its opening on Friday.

While details of the tech billionaire's exact performance are not known, it is believed Bezos plays an alien inthe film and is in one tracking shot, with co-writer Doug Jung telling the Washington Post it required 'a ton' of makeup to make him look the part.

'I remember that day when we shot, he was in a ton of alien makeup,' Jung told the newspaper.

'I remember hearing him say, "This is so great"... I just got a big kick out of that.

'Someone like Jeff Bezos -


where you’re like - you imagine the world is his oyster. But he got such a thrill out of something that was a day or half a day on set. It was great.'

Producer J.J. Abrams laughed about Bezos's silver screen appearance, saying: 'You can't keep people away... I saw it, I thought it was funny.'

Chris Pine, who plays Captain Kirk in the film, said he didn't know who the 52-year-old was but it was 'obvious he was very important'.

'I was there for thebit with his like nine bodyguards and three limos. It was really intense,' Pine said.

'I had no idea who he was. Not a clue. But he was obviously very important.'

Bezos is a lifelong fan of the beloved science fiction series, revealing earlier this year he used to play Star Trek with his friends as a child.

'When I was in fourth grade, we would — me and my friends Dean and Kyle, who lived next door, a couple houses down in Houston, Texas — play Star Trek almost every day,' he told the Transformers conference.

'And we would fight over who got to be Captain Kirk or Spock or — and somebody usually played the computer, too.

'It actually was very fun. We made little cardboard phasers and cardboard tricorders and, you know —good days.'

According to his IMDB page, the appearance is the second time Bezos has been in a film, with the 2004 short Tooth Fairy his only other credited role.SEPTA's first step to warm a chilly relationship with workers came last year with the creation of an independent Railroad Operations division that separated the rail service from the city transit division, which has vastly different concerns. Michael Dobson, the 33-year SEPTA veteran tapped to head it, communicates daily with union leaders, gives his phone number to rank and file workers, and seeks worker feedback on new schedules — all ways to draw on workers' years of expertise and experience. Although years of adversarial relations can't change overnight, union leaders say the outreach is a marked change from the way they used to interact with management.

Mary Penry

Mary Penry (12 November 1735 — 17 May 1804) was a Welsh-born woman in colonial Pennsylvania. As a longtime member of the Moravian community at Lititz, she served as "diarist, accountant and guide" for the single sisters' house.

Early life
Mary Penry was born at Abergavenny, the daughter of Hugh and Mary (Stocker) Penry. She left Wales with her widowed mother as a young girl, in about 1744. They moved in with Mary Stocker Penry's married sister and her husband, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Mary Penry was educated with Elizabeth Drinker and Hannah Callender as a young woman. Penry converted to Moravianism and left Philadelphia in 1756, but maintained an ongoing correspondence with her schoolmates for decades.

In colonial Pennsylvania
Unhappy in her uncle's home, Miss Penry moved to the Sisters' Housewithout significant consequences.

The Senate Majority agrees with Walker's approach, while the House Majority appears to be standing firm in its requests for a plan that addresses both Alaska's long-term deficit and the government shutdown, the Juneau Empire reported (http://bit.ly/2tjEfiu ).

"Let's focus on the people of Alaska instead of trying to get other items onto the agenda that are not on the agenda," said Sen. Lyman Hoffman, D-Bethel and co-chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. "Let's close this down and let's get the people's business done."

The House Majority's plan, passed through the House months ago, includes new taxes that have not been endorsed by the Senate. While both the House and Senate favor diverting some money from the earnings of the Alaska Permanent Fund and reducing Permanent Fund Dividends

Would he interact with the other kids? Would he want to go off by himself? Would he want them to leave?

As time passed, Ryan still wanted to invite his full school class to parties a couple of years after the boys no longer did that. It forced us to get creative. It led to some amazing adventures in place of traditional parties.

Then last year, he wanted to have friends and family over once again. The highlight of the party was to be a backyard game of street hockey. He planned forPremier League Big Spenders Warned Off Napoli Striker

Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has told any suitors for striker Edinson Cavani that they will have spend big to lure the club into a sale, according to Sky Sports.

–UCLA loses defensive lineman
From the LA Times … UCLA defensive end Owamagbe Odighizuwa could sit out the 2013 season after surgery on his right hip Tuesday.
UCLA Coach Jim Mora feared he had lost the sophomore defensive lineman for the season, but doctors found that the damage wasn’t as extensive as previously believed. Owamagbe had a frayed rotator cuff in his hip, and Mora was unsure of the timetable for his return.
Odighizuwa, who will be a junior this fall, underwent surgery on his left hip during the off-season and did not


participate in spring practice. He started experiencing pain in his right hip before spring practice began.
The loss would be significant, as Odighizuwa was ticketed to replace Datone Jones at defensive end. Jones was a first-round draft by the Green Bay Packers last month. Odighizuwa saw considerable time last season, finishing with 44 tackles. He had 3.5 sacks and recovered two fumbles.
Odighizuwa’s injury hurts a defensive front that has struggled to remain healthy since the season ended.
Nose tackle Ellis McCarthy sat out spring while recovering from minor knee surgery. Defense end Sam Tai was also limited, as he was still recovering from a knee surgery that forced him to miss the 2012 season. Nose tackle Brandon Tuliaupupu will miss the 2013 season after suffering a knee injury during springhorns and very large eyes. The backlash was so great that ASU leaders decided to scrap the design and let fans*decide on a new one.
The latest Sparky is the result of the online vote that allowed select fans — ASU students, faculty, staff, alumni, season ticket holders and Sun Devil Club members and donors — to choose between four new versions of the mascot head. It will debut at the start of the 2013 academic and athletic year.
The Sparky redesign also included a new Sparky logo, though it will not replace the old Sparky logo. The new logo will be used in comic books, children’s books, animated films and on select merchandise. The original logo was drawn in 1946 by Disney artist Berk Anthony and remains unchanged. The


mascot, however, has changed more than a dozen times.

May 8th Two Fresno State players dismissed from team
From NBCSports.com … Early last September, wide receiver Victor Dean and defensive back Davon Dunn were two of six Fresno State players suspended for various lengths of time for various issues.
While both returned during the 2012 season, the same can’t be said for 2013.
In a very brief press release sent out Tuesday evening night, the Bulldogs announced that both players have been dismissed from the football program for what’s described as “violations of Athletic Department policy.” Suffice to say, the specific nature of the issue or issues weren’t revealed.
The release stated that each player was informed of their dismissals Monday morning, and that there would beno further comment from the team.
Despite playing in just nine games because of a combination of the disciplinary issue and a season-ending injury, the 6-6, 209-pound Dean finished fourth on the team in receiving yards with 389 and fifth with 30 receptions. He added two touchdown receptions as a redshirt sophomore as well.
Dunn played in 11 of the Bulldogs’ 13 games as a redshirt sophomore, with the two games he missed due to his suspension. He was credited with 16 tackles, 1.5 tackles for a loss and a half sack, as well as returning eight kickoffs for a 20.2 yard average.
… From the Fresno Bee… Dean, a fluid 6-foot-6 receiver, always was an intriguing prospect and began to fulfill some of that promise last year before suffering a


broken leg against Hawaii in the ninth game. He caught 30 passes, including a three-game stretch in which he had 22 for 235 yards and two touchdowns.
He was held out of contact during the spring but otherwise was making a full recovery.
Dunn played in 11 of the Bulldogs’ 13 games a year ago, recording 16 tackles — including 1.5 behind the line of scrimmage — and was credited with two pass breakups.
The Bulldogs should be able to absorb both losses, given depth at outside receiver and in the secondary.

Two words: Norm Chow. He was an assistant at USC and throughout his college career helped to develop an army of quarterbacks, including Steve Young. He’s one of the brightest offensive minds in college football history. At USC, over the decades, the Trojan coaching staff has been loaded with assistants and head coaches like Chow.

—SEC to debate nine-game conference schedule
From The Sporting News*… While the Big Ten last weekend announced plans to expand to a nine-game schedule in 2016; while the ACC was committed to nine games beginning in 2014 but backed away only after partnering with Notre Dame; while the Pac-12 and Big 12 currently play nine league games, the last holdout of the five major conferences is still debating semantics of the eight-game schedule.
“Needless to say,” says Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley, “there are a lot of moving parts.”
The move to a nine-game schedule was initially an issue this time last year at the SEC’s annual spring meetings. But like most things in the uber-successful, tradition-first conference, change is slow.
Last year’s meetings got bogged downin the same spot this year’s meetings – later this month in Destin, Fla. – likely will: the schedule format, not the number of games. Currently, the SEC uses a 6-1-1 format (six division games, one permanent crossover, one rotating crossover), with six years needed to rotate through the opposite division once.
That means—and here’s where Alabama coach Nick Saban has a problem—some players will go a career without playing another team from the opposite division. So instead of expanding the rotation of the schedule when the league went to 14 teams, the SEC decided that longstanding rivalries (Alabama vs. Tennessee, Georgia vs. Auburn) and television-friendly games (Florida vs. LSU) were more important as the goliath of a league gets bigger and stronger year after year.
In other words, why
