Itchgrass in Virginia
On October 3, 2007, the Weed Identification Clinic at Virginia Tech received an itchgrass [Rottboellia cochinchinensis (Lour.) Clayton] sample from a cornfield in Westmoreland County, near Montross (Figure 1). Currently, itchgrass is considered a federal noxious weed and the Westmoreland County sample is the first record of this plant in the state of Virginia. The Virginia finding was initially reported to the VDACS (Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services) Office of Plant and Pest Services (www.vdacs.virginia.gov/), which in turn reported the finding to USDAAPHIS (Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service) (www.aphis.usda.gov/), the organization most directly responsible for regulation of federal noxious weeds. Currently, APHIS is working to more accurately assess the extent of the infestation, which may include a survey of the local area of infestation during the next growing season. Any finding of this weed in Virginia should be reported to the above-mentioned organizations. The introduction of this weed to Virginia is likely not an isolated event. Extension agents and growers should be conscious of its identification characteristics and current control recommendations.
History, Identification, and Biology
Itchgrass is an annual grass that is native to tropical Southeast Asia, and was introduced to the U.S. in the early 1920s (3, 4, 6, 7). Although it is a tropical native, it has the ability to grow and set seed in a wide range of conditions, which allowed it to quickly naturalize in Florida and Louisiana (1). Itchgrass prefers and is most competitive in saturated soils, but it can persist and compete in dry areas with rich soils (4). Itchgrass is commonly 3 to 6 feet tall, but can grow 10 feet high if left unchecked. Healthy plants can produce between 2,200 and 16,500 seeds per plant in prime conditions, and late emerging plants have the ability to set seed in about one month (4, 7). Itchgrass spreads via road construction equipment, farm machinery, birds, and wind (3, 9), and is now present in much of the southeast, including North Carolina (1). This annual grassy weed is similar in appearance to Johnsongrass and fall panicum. However, unlike these other two weedy grasses, itchgrass is covered with hairs. Itchgrass is also identified by pale green color, prop roots, cylindrical spike inflorescences and seed, and long, sharp siliceous hairs on the leaf sheaths and much of the plant [Figure 2 (4)]. The sharp hairs can penetrate skin causing irritation, giving its common name (1, 4). Seedling identification is easily facilitated by digging seedlings to reveal the cylindrical seed, which will persist on the root system for several weeks.
This weed has been well studied in Louisiana cropping systems and is highly competitive in corn, cotton, soybean, grain sorghum, rice, sugarcane, pastures, and roadsides (3, 4, 6, 7, 9). James Griffin, weed scientist at Louisiana State University is one of the foremost authorities on this weed. Griffin believes that even though the plant produces a large annual seed rain, eradication is possible since seed viability ranges from 3 to 5 years, with most seeds rotting or germinating within 3 years. Therefore, with effective control measures, the weed can be eliminated from most agricultural fields within 3 to 4 years. Griffin advises that in Louisiana it usually germinates later than seedling Johnsongrass and crabgrass. "Quick (crop) canopy closure can limit itchgrass's competitive ability and seed rain, so early planting dates should be considered," Griffin offers. Low levels of allelopathy have been observed toward germinating rice plants (2). In 1997, an itchgrass biotype was discovered in Louisiana that is resistant to fluazifop-p-butyl. This biotype of itchgrass remains localized to that area (5). Research indicates that in Virginia itchgrass can attain about 75 percent of its growth potential, which could make itchgrass a detrimentally competitive weed in Virginia cropping systems (7).
Itchgrass Control with Herbicides
Weed control programs based on triazines (atrazine and metribuzine), chloroacetamides (Dual, Harness, Micro-Tech, etc.), and the combinations thereof (Ex. Bicep) are not effective for itchgrass control (9). Pendimethalin (Prowl) applied preemergence (PRE) at 3 to 4 pints per acre controls itchgrass effectively in several crops (3). However, late-season emergence is possible and follow up postemergence (POST) treatments could be needed. For POST control in broadleaf crops the graminicides fluazifop-P (Assure), haloxyfop (Galent), quizalofop-P (Assure), and diclofop (Hoelon) are all effective treatments (3). Nicosulfuron (Accent) and primisulfuron (Beacon) are the only effective treatments POST in conventional corn. Research in Louisiana corn production indicates that nicosulfuron is more effective than primisulfuron and the addition of the nonionic surfactant Induce® improves control with both products (9). However, with the introduction of glyphosate resistant crops, this weed has become less of a problem in southern crops because glyphosate is highly effective toward itchgrass. The most effective control programs for itchgrass would include both pendimethalin for PRE control and glyphosate resistant technology and glyphosate or other effective POST products for late season escapes.

I have a older 486 machine running windows 95 that needs a cd burner to get the information off of that machine. A pc repair company tried to get nero 5 to run a cd burner but nero would not recognize the burners we had.
Is there a way to tell which old burners nero running under 95 will support?
Thanks Kent
Burning data from an old 486 will be problematic at best. You have a slow CPU (loaded down more by Win95), which may not even support enough speed to burn without Win95. Your best bet would likely be to remove the drive (assuming it's IDE), and install it into an external USB case (see link below for example), then copy the data (via a newer/faster machine---making sure the drive is identified properly first) to either CD/DVD or flash media.

Thanks for the info BUT
the link you provided send me to something called a "Combo Enclosure" meaning I am not sure what, but
it also says it supports IDE (the hard drive type) BUT it also says in the description FOR
98-98SE-ME-2000 & XP, nothing about win 95 os.
Claification please.......
thanks kent
Just take the HDD out of the Win95 machine & temporarily slave it off another PC that still supports IDE. No additional hardware required.
It's not meant to be used with Win95.
Here's the instructions to back-up your data:
1. Power-down and remove existing hard-drive from Win95 (486) machine.
2. Insert into IDE-to-USB case (the link I provided), and secure power and IDE connections.
3. Insert power and USB cable into IDE-to-USB case.
4. Connect case with drive to "newer" (i.e.--WinXP to Win10) PC.
5. Insure "newer" PC identifies the device as a new drive.
6. Use file explorer to copy (NOT MOVE) to an empty folder on "newer" PC.
7. When data has finished copying, either burn it to CD/DVD or copy it to a flash drive. Remove drive from USB-to-IDE case and return to Win95 (486) computer if necessary....

Thanks to riider and T-R-A
Both good advice, I will be removing the drive and hooking up to another machine as slave.
Thanks to both.......Kent

In this world we can only begin to elevate as we learn that our physical presence is only a piece of who "we" are. We are made of complex energies that are swirling around , bouncing and crashes in to each other.
These particles of energy are just as "real" as the skin you pinch. Our spiritual souls are not just a dream or a mystical mystery, there is proven science that backs the idea that there is more complexity than the eye can see.
We are all made of the same "glue". Our souls are bound together. WE are ONE. We are ONE in LOVE.
Time is not linear. Time is not absolute. We live in one of many parallel universes. When we see time as humans, we see it as finite. We exist as energies even after our physical body dies. We still love people who existed in their physical bodies. We are capable of loving past death. The only thing can transcend our perspective on reality is love
Moments are blessings. They capture an event. Look around and "smell the roses". There is nothing more beautiful than this. Don't allow life to pass you by.
We are creatures of love, energy and dust. Everything is everything. if you take this perspective that I have shown here, you can see infinity. "I love you forever" is exactly what this all means.
What is real is the human heart. It is the human compass. It will guide you into many different "realities" , states of being and unite the human race.

Darvaza Gas Crater
The Darvaza gas crater or the 'Door to Hell' has been burning for almost half a century, and the geologists monitoring it have no idea how long it will take to stop. Deep in the heart of the Kara Kum desert, there lies a 230-foot-wide hole in the earth, filled with flames. The seemingly bottomless hole opens up to the heavens, but unleashes the flames of hell, attracting thousands of tourists each year, and earning its place on a long list of the earth's eeriest places.
When the Darvaza gas crater, aptly named the "Door to Hell", was first discovered, the area was being drilled for oil. Soviet geologists had claimed the area, the central Karakum Desert, for their own and believed it to be the site of massive amounts of oil. Little did they know that the area was actually home to a huge pocket of natural gas, above which had formed a thin crust of earth. When the geologists began drilling into the Karakum ground, the thin crust that had formed over the gas pocket crumbled, unable to support the weight of the heavy machinery. The entire site collapsed, beginning a domino effect that resulted in craters opening across the thin desert plain.
As the crater collapsed, the geologists realized they had a problem. Not only had the Door to Hell swallowed their drilling equipment, but it was now leaking natural gas. Though the gas was mostly methane, which is non-toxic but can make it hard to breathe, the wildlife that roamed the Karakum Desert began to suffer. Before long, they began to die.
In addition to harming the animal life in the desert, the gas presented yet another problem. Methane gas has a high flammability, and just five percent methane in the air can cause an explosion. The high levels seeping from the open crater made the area highly susceptible to a major disaster.
So, the scientists decided to eliminate the natural gas in what they thought would be a quick and easy fix — setting the Door to Hell on fire.
In many natural gas drills, the excess gas that can't be captured is eliminated through a controlled burn. Known as "flaring," the practice is used worldwide, most notably in North Dakota. So, it was pretty much business as usual when the scientists set up a flare and lit the Door to Hell on fire. That was 47 years ago, in 1971. Today, the Darvaza gas crater still burns.
Unlike the controlled burns in other natural gas drilling areas, the geologists in the Karakum didn't know how much gas they were dealing with. Thus, what should have been a few-week burn has become a decades-long one. And, it doesn't look like its stopping any time soon. For now, the Door to Hell lies like a cavernous inferno, attracting hundreds of visitors, and luring in unsuspecting wildlife. Locals report seeing swarms of spiders launching themselves into the pit, dazzled by the flames, and unsuspecting of their fate.
Despite its ominous look and nickname, the Darvaza gas crater is actually quite a sight to behold. The contrast between the serene, clear desert skies and the fiery depths below it is surreal, making for breathtaking photos and a worthy day trip. That is if you happen to find yourself in the Karakum Desert of Turkmenistan with a few hours to spare.

The following speech was delivered by the President of the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union of Canada (CEP) Dave Coles to "Confronting the Climate Crisis: Can Labor Help Shape an Effective Strategy?" at City University of New York.
The obvious answer to the question is yes and the voice of energy workers is a particularly important one to hear while talking about labour's role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. As Canada's largest energy union, the CEP represents 35,000 members employed in oil and gas extraction, transportation, refining, and conversion in the petrochemical and plastics sectors.
CEP believes that it is necessary to transition away from fossil fuels by reducing consumption and investing in green energies while ensuring a just transition for energy workers and their communities.
My union believes we need to pause further development of Alberta's bitumen sands. Additionally, the bevy of export pipelines being proposed need to be put on hold until we develop a national consensus around a sustainable energy strategy.
We oppose the proposed Keystone XL pipeline and call on President Obama to reject the project. Climate pollution from the bitumen sands industry is already considerable and will only get worse by approving Keystone XL. The Canadian government's aggressive lobbying in the U.S. in favor of the pipeline is an embarrassment.
I have been arrested in the fight against Keystone XL because our union understands that this pipeline is bad for both the environment and Canadian workers. The pipeline will take potential upgrading and refining jobs away from Canadians and put our country's energy security at risk.
Fighting for economic equality and climate justice are at the base of our everyday work. The CEP understands that the same government that wants to extract as much oil (should I say profits) as quickly as possible from Alberta's bitumen sands has repeatedly legislated workers back to work and attacked unions' political independence.
The CEP is active in numerous initiatives to fight the climate crisis. We recently supported PowerShift, a skills sharing conference that brought together 1000 youth fighting for climate justice.
When the leader of the official opposition Thomas Mulcair sparked a controversy by saying the Canadian dollar is "artificially high" because we're "allowing [the oil companies] a bit of a free ride in using the air, the soil and the water in an unlimited way" the right-wing accused him of causing regional tensions between the manufacturing-focused east of the country and the more resource dependent west. In response, CEP local 707 hosted Mulcair's tour of the bitumen sands. This helped undercut the right-wing's attacks by showing that many of those working in Fort McMurray's energy extraction sector are also concerned about unbridled oil expansion.
The CEP is part of Blue Green Canada, an alliance of labour, environmental and civil society organizations. A recent Blue Green report shows that six to eight times more jobs could be created by investing the $1.3 billion in federal subsidies that currently go to oil and gas subsidies into energy efficiency, renewable energy and public transit.
For science the threat of global warming is beyond sane dispute. But capitalists whose wealth and power depends on existing enterprises deny there is a problem. Our current economic system is dependent on endless growth even though it's clear as day that unrestrained growth is environmentally unsustainable.
Corporations and their sycophants in the media and academia tell us that we have to choose between jobs and the environment. But we reject this dichotomy.
It's possible to build an economic system that provides people with good and fulfilling work all the while respecting Mother Earth. If we don't seek that balance there may be no good jobs for our great grandchildren.
To deal with the unfolding ecological crisis we must jettison corporation-centric economic policies in favor of ones that actually address our world's many social and ecological concerns.
In conclusion, the main spokesperson for the largely successful student strike that rocked Quebec last spring, Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois, told PowerShift in October:
"The problem is not [personal] consumption, it is our economy and production. Our system is broken on a systemic level. The destruction of our environment is a natural and inevitable result. Without radical change we will be faced with extinction. Resistance in these times is not an option. It is a duty."

Thank you for reading this story…
More people are reading rabble.ca than ever and unlike many news organizations, we have never put up a paywall – at rabble we've always believed in making our reporting and analysis free to all, while striving to make it sustainable as well. Media isn't free to produce. rabble's total budget is likely less than what big corporate media spend on photocopying (we kid you not!) and we do not have any major foundation, sponsor or angel investor. Our main supporters are people and organizations -- like you. This is why we need your help. You are what keep us sustainable.
rabble.ca has staked its existence on you. We live or die on community support -- your support! We get hundreds of thousands of visitors and we believe in them. We believe in you. We believe people will put in what they can for the greater good. We call that sustainable.
So what is the easy answer for us? Depend on a community of visitors who care passionately about media that amplifies the voices of people struggling for change and justice. It really is that simple. When the people who visit rabble care enough to contribute a bit then it works for everyone.
And so we're asking you if you could make a donation, right now, to help us carry forward on our mission. Make a donation today.

Welcome to Frenchtown Evangelistic Assembly worship service. May you be blessed as you worship today.
Two Christian pro-life teenagers have recently won a settlement against their school district. The teenagers were harassed by their gay Pennsylvania public school vice principal, Zach Ruff, when they were protesting abortion outside their school on a public sidewalk. Ruff confronted the teens angrily and tried to shield the other students from seeing the protest as they were leaving school on April 21. Conner and Lauren Hanes who are brothers said they were trying to expose the negative impact of abortion which has claimed the lives of 60 million unborn babies since the procedure became legal in 1973.
According to the Alliance Defending Freedom, the Downingtown Area School District came to a settlement and has agreed to clarify its policies to assure that the public sidewalks surrounding the district's schools are open to those wanting to use their First Amendment rights to publicly demonstrate, even if what they are demonstrating is at odds with school officials' political views.
In a video posted to YouTube, the siblings told the administrator they are simply trying to expose "the holocaust that's happening in America." Ruff responded by stating that there is "no Halocaust happening in America." Conner Haines then told Ruff that "these [unborn children] are the people that are being murdered," adding, "these are image bearers of God." Ruff replied, "They are not children they are cells."
Despite the trend of young people to gravitate toward the worldly beliefs and ideologies, it is heart-warming to note that there are still many teenagers who are embracing the knowledge of the true God and are willing to take their stand for Him publicly. God told Jeremiah, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; and before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations" (Jer. 1:5). God bless the two young men and may they have an ever growing influence on other young people for God.

Received–Not Earned
What if prospective parents approached an adoption agency with these questions?
We just have a question or two before we come in and sign the adoption papers. Will he be a good child? Healthy always? Oh, and can he fix his own meals? Do his own laundry?
Can you imagine prospective parents saying that? No adoption agency would put up with it. They'd respond with Wait a minute. You don't understand. You don't adopt this child because of what he has; you adopt him because of what he needs. He needs a home.
The same is true with God. John 3:17 says,
"For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved."
He doesn't adopt us because of what we have. He doesn't give us His name because of our intelligence, or our wallet or good attitude. Adoption is something we receive —not something we earn!

As of March 5th, this blog was six months old. As of September, I've started packing my own lunches, biking to work (when I wasn't riding the bus), made a shopping bag and "audited" my plastic use, tried out some resolutions to make my holiday season sustainable, culled my belongings, and attempted composting a few times- all in an effort to live better, whatever that means. Biking and culling were the biggest successes. I haven't started a good composting culture yet, and I have still have an odd relationship with plastics.
The biggest change I've made, though, wasn't due to a monthly goal at all. By moving to Old Town (necessitating the culling and negating the biking to work), I've decreased my footprints of all kinds (except the kind that I actually walk with). It's allowed me to sleep more, get more exercise, and use stairs at home instead of the elevator. After the flurry of move-driving, my car sat unused for almost a week: barring some specific errands and classes, it'll stay right where it is. Since it's been sitting, the price of gas has gone up 15 cents a gallon. The closest grocery stores- Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Giant, MOM's, and the farmer's market- are all well stocked with organic and/or locally grown foods. Now I have to pay utilities separately, and I can have more direct control over how much energy I use- since I'll know how much it is. And I have three house mates who are wonderful, and wonderfully tractable, and whom I'm secretly (not very secretly) hoping to inflame.
Inflame with sustainability, that is. Anyway. A while back, I took myself to task for not having defined what sustainability means. I've worked on that a bit, and I've come up with something round about but better than nothing.
One definition of sustainable living isn't going to pertain to everyone- and it shouldn't. Everyone's got a different pet "green" issue- no plastic vs no cars vs global warming doesn't exist because it's cold out vs no nukes, etc. I'm not a zealous environmentalist. I don't think this problem can be solved with one fix (no oil!). In order to live sustainably, I must first and foremost be an open environmentalist, willing to consider differing points of view, and informed enough to determine which makes sense. Next, I must live practically and thoughtfully, with a view to finances and the human, environmental, and moral costs of my actions. Under this all, though, I must be able to live- work and play and learn and all that stuff. So much of sustainability is seen as limiting- we can't do this because of those whiny polar bears, we can't eat that because of the toxic wastes. I think the emphasis should be on how much can we do, individually and as humanity, while still living within sensible boundaries- how much can I do with how little?
The unanswered question there is, how little is little enough? I'll leave that hanging for now. I suspect it has something to do with "little enough so that everybody can use the same amount", but given the different ways to measure that (carbon footprint? resource use?), and that merely by living in the US I'm using way more than my fair share, it's intractable. The answer to climate change and sustainable living is not "move to a developing nation and start subsistence farming".
I think large environmental issues will only be solved through meaningful government and industry action, and only after we make some big technological innovations. I'm not holding my breath for government or industry help, though, and I'll do my small part to vote with magic machines and my money (for all it's still worth) in the meanwhile.
That's what I've got. Muddled, but let me know what you think. I appreciate discourse, after all- that's first!
Odds and Ends: I never did hang up that biodegradable plastic bag from Harris Teeter outdoors (I forget where I promised this, but I did, and someone asked a while ago, and I still haven't done it). When I find one, I'll hold onto it until I get some duct tape, and fulfill my promise. Also, remember that debate I was having with the conservative blogger? It's been so long since she called environmentalists Nazis and cited the Heartland Institute as a more authoritative body than the IPCC on the question of climate change that you've probably forgotten- I had, hurrah for archives. I pointed out certain factual and logical inaccuracies, she responded with silence, so I'll take the Godwin's Law victory and let it lie.
Thanks for your time, and your comments, and I'm excited for the next parts. Keep coming back, but, oh ho, you'll have to, since I cleverly told you all about the last six months without revealing March's goal! Mua hahaha. Ha. I'll let you know once I think of it, or by Wednesday.

Elisabeth Bumiller
Elisabeth Bumiller (born May 15, 1956)[1] is an American author and journalist who is the Washington bureau chief for the New York Times.
Early life and education
Bumiller was born in Aalborg, Denmark, to a Danish mother and American father.[2] The family moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, when she was three years old.[2] Bumiller attended Walnut Hills High School, where she reported for the school newspaper, the Walnut Hills Chatterbox.[2] She graduated in 1974.[3]
Bumiller then attended Northwestern University as an undergraduate in the Medill School of Journalism, graduating in 1977.[2] She wrote for the Daily Northwestern.[2] She received a master's degree from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in 1979.[2]
Bumiller's began her career at the Miami Herald.[4] Her first journalism job in Washington was as a party reporter for the Washington Post Style section, where she covered Washington society.[2] In this role, Bumiller followed First Lady Nancy Reagan to the wedding of Charles, Prince of Wales, and Lady Diana Spencer.[2] In fall 1979, Bumiller met Steven R. Weisman, then the White House correspondent for the New York Times, and the two married in 1983.[2]
In 1985, after Weisman took up the post of New Delhi bureau chief for the Times, Bumiller moved to India and continued to write for the Style section of the Post.[2] She also wrote her first book, May You Be the Mother of a Hundred Sons (Ballantine, 1991), described as "examination of daily life for women in India."[2] In 1989, when Weisman became Tokyo bureau chief for the Times, the couple moved again to Japan, where Bumiller continued to work for the Post and also began work on a second book, The Secrets of Mariko (Vintage, 1996).[2] Bumiller also gave birth to the couple's first child in Japan, a daughter.[2]
In 1992, Weisman and Bumiller moved to New York, where Weisman took up the post as deputy foreign editor for the Times; while in New York, Bumiller gave birth to her second child, a son.[2] In 1995, Bumiller joined her husband at the Times, as a general assignment metro reporter.[2]
From fall 1999 until 2001, Bumiller became New York City Hall bureau chief, where she covered the mayoral administration of Rudolph Giuliani and Giuliani's abortive 2000 bid for the U.S. Senate against Hillary Rodham Clinton.[2][4] During this time, Bumiller was a contributor to the "Public Lives" column, which profiled city officials.[2]
In 2001, Bumiller was promoted to White House correspondent for the Times, serving in that role from September 10, 2001 to 2006.[2][4] Weisman followed her to become the paper's senior diplomatic correspondent for the Times.[2]
Bumiller was criticized by Glenn Greenwald, Eric Boehlert, Lisa Finnegan, and others for failing to question George W. Bush on the run-up to the Iraq War. Reflecting on a March 6, 2003 presidential press conference before the invasion of Iraq, Bumiller said: "I think we were very deferential because ... it's live, it's very intense, it's frightening to stand up there. Think about it, you're standing up on prime-time live TV asking the president of the United States a question when the country's about to go to war. There was a very serious, somber tone that evening, and no one wanted to get into an argument with the president at this very serious time."[5][6][7][8] At a panel discussion sponsored by Northwestern's Medill School of Journalism in November 2004, Bumiller stated: "You can't just say the president is lying...You can in an editorial, but I'm sorry, you can't in a news column...You can say Mr. Bush's statement was not factually accurate. You can't say the president is lying—that's a judgment call."[9]
Beginning in June 2006, Bumiller took a one-year leave of absence from the Times to write a biography of U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.[10][11] During this period, Bumiller was also a Public Policy Scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars (September 2006—February 2007)[12] and a Transatlantic Fellow at the German Marshall Fund.[13] Bumiller's book, Condoleezza Rice: An American Life, was published by Random House in December 2007.[14] The book, which was based on ten interviews with Rice[14] as well as interviews from 150 others, portrays Rice catering to Bush's desire to invade Iraq, and it describes her being taken completely by surprise when Hamas won the 2006 Palestinian elections.[15] Jacob Heilbrunn, reviewing the book in the New York Times, wrote that Bumiller "brings a keen eye to Rice, probing not only her tenure as a policy maker and her close ties to George W. Bush, but also her personal and professional past.[14]
In 2008, Bumiller covered the presidential campaign of Senator John McCain for the Times.[4] During the campaign, McCain at times clashed with Bumiller and other Times writers.[16][17] From 2008 to early 2013, Bumiller served as Pentagon correspondent; in this role, she traveled with the Secretary of Defense and was embedded with U.S. forces in Afghanistan.[4] In May 2009, the Times published a controversial front-page article by Bumiller citing an unreleased Pentagon report for the proposition that one in seven detainees released from the Guantanamo Bay detention camp "returned to terrorism or militant activity"; this figure was criticized as inflated in a Times op-ed by Peter Bergen and Katherine Tiedemann,[18] and Times public editor Clark Hoyt wrote that editors should have taken a more skeptical approach.[19]
Subsequently, Bumiller was named Washington editor.[20] In September 2015, New York Times executive editor Dean Baquet announced that Bumiller would replace Carolyn Ryan as the Washington bureau chief.[20]

To be aware of trapping something or someone is attempting to hold onto them.
To be trapping a butterfly is to be trying to capture the inner self.
2- When we feel trapped in dreams, we are not usuallv able to break free of old patterns of thought and behaviour. We need outside help.
3- Spiritually we are holding ourselves back. We mav also be aware of being trapped by the restrictions of the physical body.... Ten Thousand Dream Dictionary
The type of trap will give an indication of our psychological state.
A gin trap would, therefore, suggest something is biting us and, rather obviously, a box trap that we are restricted in thought. We can gain insight into what is restricting us by taking careful note of our surroundings if we are trapped or locked in a room.... Dream Meanings of Versatile
To be aware of trapping something or someone is attempting to hold on to them.
To be trapping a butterfly is to be trying to capture the inner self.... Dream Meanings of Versatile
A woman is often trapped by her own imperturbability and needs help to escape and a man needs to find and release his trapped feminine.... Dream Meanings of Versatile
Example: I am trapped in a small brick room with no way out. I shout for someone to help me. Then either a huge bird or creature with arms tries to catch me and I scream myself awake' (Karen S). Karen had lived through a divorce, an unhappy love affair, the loss of a baby. In the dream the figure who comes after she has called for help might save her, but her fears make her reject it. Perhaps Karen's feelings about men paint them as monsters. Whatever her past males may have been like, with such feelings it is Karen herself who is the prisoner and suffers loneliness. Trapped dreams can also depict feelings we have about work, about lack of opportunity, and so on. It must be remembered that the dream puts into images one's own feelings about the situation, not the external thing itself. See imprisoned; cage; cell; wolj under animal; escape; holding. ... A Guide to Dreams and Sleep Experiences
If you successfully escape the trap in your dream, you will triumph over your rivals and your relationships will improve in real life.... My Dream Interpretation
• It reflects feelings of frustration perhaps due to being trapped in your job or a difficult relationship.
• If you are trapping something in a dream be aware of holding onto things too tightly.
• Sometimes dreams of being trapped relate to the paralysis mechanism that affects the large muscle groups during dream sleep to stop us acting out our dreams.... The Premier in Dream Dictionary
If you change the way you do things, you will surely experience a feeling of liberation.
Gypsy tradition says that if you dream that an animal is caught in a net you must act with caution. Otherwise, your plans will fail.... The Big Dictionary of Dreams

AXA Advanced is currently live for brokers to trade via the Applied Systems and Acturis platforms. SSP and CDL go live on 1 May and the product will be available on Open GI by the end of May.
Head of household for personal intermediary Carolyn Scott said: "Our entry level and mass market household products are very popular with brokers.
"However, we were aware that there was a gap in our offering to suit the needs of brokers' more affluent clients and that is what AXA Advanced has been designed to address."
AXA Advanced forms part of a suite of products that includes existing policies such as mass market offering AXA Extra and AXA First.
The insurer said with the new Advanced product, it would give brokers the confidence that they can secure cover from AXA for a broad range of customer needs from standard through to more valuable buildings and contents.
"Along with AXA First and AXA Extra brokers now have a suite of household products available to them that they know will deliver the first rate claims service that AXA has become synonymous with, a service that is even more important for brokers advising affluent clients," Scott added.
Further enhancements to the product will be made during the course of the year with plans to deliver a manual proposition by 2016.

Counties sitting ducks in Covid-19 war as public panics
Friday March 27 2020
Limited facilities and inability to combat an increase in Covid-19 cases have reduced counties to sitting ducks in the war on the global pandemic.
A spot check by the Nation established that some counties have been forced to increase the number of isolation facilities following a public outcry, yet the devolved units lack vital equipment.
Others are rushing to offer specialised training to health personnel and buy the required equipment.
In some regions, governors and security agencies have been forced to provide security to individuals and families with suspected cases of the disease.
When announcing the first confirmed case in Kakamega County, Governor Wycliffe Oparanya said: "Villagers have turned hostile to the victim's family and wanted them out of the community for fear that they could spread the disease."
In Nyamira, county enforcement officers rescued a woman who had just travelled back from Dubai from a mob after she was spotted walking in the streets of Kebirigo.
"A mob was baying for her blood, claiming that she had ignored the requirement to self-quarantine," Health executive Douglas Bosire said.
Due to the fear created around those who have come back home from abroad and interacted with friends and relatives, Nyamira Governor John Nyagarama issued a directive that any individual coming back from a country known to have confirmed cases of the virus should notify the county's coronavirus emergency team.
He also reported that a man from the US who was in the news for allegedly failing to self-quarantine had tested negative for the virus.
Test results for members of his family, who had been roughed up by the public, also read negative.
In Kisii, police for the second day engaged with traders in running battles over the closure of open-air markets.
In Homa Bay, residents began feeling the effects of the closure of markets in Kisii and Kisumu counties, as towns ran out of cereals, fruits and vegetables.
The most affected are residents Homa Bay Town, Mbita, Rodi Kopany, Asumbi and Rangwe.
Homa Bay County Giant Traders Association Chairman Godfrey Onduso and Secretary Simon Kwach appealed to the Kisii and Kisumu county governments to allow traders to operate.
"Every market has a special day when traders from other markets gather to sell their products. This is what the county governments should suspend and not entire operations of markets," Mr Onduso lamented.
In Narok, the county government shut down a section of Maasai Mara Game Reserve for 14 days to allow testing of seven people who interacted with a person who arrived from South Africa on March 17.
"We are forced to close that side of the reserve until the status of the seven people, who are in isolation, is confirmed," Narok Governor Samuel Tunai said.
In Vihiga County, Chamber of Commerce and Industry officials requested Governor Wilbur Ottichilo to consider a three-month tax holiday for local traders struggling with dwindling business in the wake of the disease.
Dr Billy Nyonje, the Vihiga branch chairman, requested that the deadline for the renewal of licences be extended.
In Busia, an order by Uganda President Yoweri Museveni that the country's borders be closed has affected fishing on the Kenyan side of Lake Victoria.
The more than 20 beaches in Busia County have witnessed low activity as fish and food imports from Uganda dwindle following the directive. The price of fish is also expected to rise sharply.
Marenga Beach Management Unit chairman Stephen Musee told the Nation that President Museveni's directive would affect at least 1,000 households who depend directly on the lake.
Nyanza Regional Beach Management Unit chairman Tom Guda warned that boat operators and fishermen could be among the weak links in coronavirus response strategies.
"The government has prescribed stiff measures for the public transport sector, including reducing the number of passengers. We are yet to see any measures to control the marine sector, where boat riders ferrying passengers continue to operate as usual," Mr Guda said.
Turkana has screened 23,405 people entering the county, with no incident of Covid-19 reported.

Well, finally I got a halfway okay shot of my town. As far as I know, no one knows that this view exists. At least, everyone I show it to asks how I afforded a private plane ride. ;)
You have to hike about 15 minutes up a steep gravel road in an overgrown clear cut south of town to see this- not for the out of shape (me included!). I shot it once before with some Ektachrome 100VS, but that film was so grainy I couldn't stand it. Excellent color but looked like 400. So I went back with some Provia 100F- waayyyy better. This is of course and as usual a crappy scan off my crappy scanner and badly edited with my lousy bundled software. But at least it's here.

What is the MyoPro?
The MyoPro is an EMG triggered robotic upper limb orthosis. It provides active assistance for bending and straightening the elbow and opening and closing the fingers.
It is intended to be a 'neuro prosthesis' meaning that after developing proficiency the Myopro user is able to complete functional tasks while wearing the orthosis that they could not do without it. It is therefore available for purchase as a bespoke item for home use.
The MyoPro also has potential as a rehabilitation tool as following intensive use of the device, it has been found that movement and function of an impaired arm can be improved when the device is not worn, meaning that the device has a training effect. The therapeutic benefits have been shown to include:
- increased range of movement at elbow, finger, wrist
- increased strength in muscles controlling the elbow, finger, wrist
- decreased tone/spasticity
- decreased co-contractions
- improved selective muscle control
- decreased compensatory movements e.g.'shoulder hiking'
How does it work?
The MyoPro detects the user's own EMG signals (even very weak ones) magnifies them and uses them to drive motors on board to move the elbow and hand. This control strategy has been used for decades in the prosthetic industry.
New MyoPro users attend therapy in order to maximise both the functional and the therapeutic benefits. Through a multi-phase therapy programme, MyoPro users engage in repetitive task practice, task specific and funtional training. Advanced users learn how to use the MyoPro to perform meaningful activities of daily living and even work/school related tasks.
Who can benefit from using it?
Common indications include Brachial Plexopathies, stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury.
What services do Hobbs offer?
In collaboration with the US MyoMo team, Hobbs is developing services to support purchasers and rehabilitation users. Flyer here. More information here.
Typically, purchasers would need 2 to 3 months of training with a MyoPro therapist, 5 times per week to enable functional use of the device in daily life. We will provide this service to outpatients. Rehabilitation use of the device is available on an outpatient basis with individualised treatment being supplied as clinically appropriate.
Please contact Joe Green via firstname.lastname@example.com to discuss your individual requirements.

Throw your memory back to a time when Hailey Baldwin and Justin Bieber were making headlines for their controversial New Years Eve kiss.
It was a time when we thought the Biebs was well and truly moving on from Selena, and Hailey seemed pretty stoked with the situation too... but, as you know, that ended tragically.
Fast forward to Justin starting WW3 with his exes, saying that he would delete his Instagram if fans didn't stop being mean to his (at the time) GF Sofia Richie. Both Selena and Hailey made their disgust well known about the whole sitch, but it was no 'Jon Tucker Must Die' moment between the two girls. In fact, Hailey and Selena have never really been friends, since they both dated Bieber.
Now we've got Bella Hadid's ex-boyfriend dating Selena Gomez. Naturally, Hailey Baldwin is going to take Bella's side. A). They're actually good friends, and B). We doubt Hailey would take the side of her exes... ex.
Still with us? Good.
Hailey just made her stance pretty damn obvious with a single tweet, sharing a video of Bella Hadid from her W magazine interview while she's in the bath playing with her rubber duckies (you can't make this kind of stuff up...)
She wrote: "Wait sorry, WHO could possibly be cuter than @bellahadid.... literally nobody."
Oooft. The subtle shade towards Selena is so freaking real rn.
If it weren't for Taylor Swift being the bestie of literally every girl in this situation, it wouldn't be so complicated. But hey, being part of the #squad is essential.

Everybody loves to talk about New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady — even hipster rock bands from Texas.
Parquet Courts recently released their new album, "Wide Awake!," and the record kicks off with a song titled, "Total Football." There's a lot going on in the song (which actually is really good), but the part that likely will stick out for many comes at the end, when lead singer A. Savage belts, "And f–k Tom Brady!"
Video of the studio version of the song currently isn't available, but you can watch a live performance of it below:
(Note: The part about Brady, which obviously is a bit NSFW, comes around the 3:40 mark.)
This song really has nothing to do with Brady. In essence, the track is about a collective group fighting for its rights and/or working toward a common goal without sacrificing personal freedoms — a point driven home by the line, "Collectivism and autonomy are not mutually exclusive."
So, why all the stuff about football?
Well, it's probably safe to assume the band was inspired by the ongoing NFL anthem protest saga, of which Colin Kaepernick is the face of (See the lyric: "Have your hurt Caucasian feelings left you so distraught?").
Furthermore, the phrase "total football" refers to a tactical soccer theory — made famous by the 1974 Dutch national team — in which an outfield player can assume the role of any other player in a team. From Savage's perspective, the theory can be a metaphor for people from all professions and walks of life coming together to achieve something greater than themselves, without abandoning who they were in the first place.
The specific use of the word "football," as well other wording and imagery loosely associated with either the United States or the rest of the world's versions of "football," really is inconsequential — fun, creative wordplay used to add color to the song's skeleton. The blasting of Brady, too, really doesn't mean anything, although one could make the case the band sees the private, often unwaveringly impersonal Brady as emblematic of American football's approach to freedom of speech.
Or maybe Brady, in all his seemingly impossible-to-relate-to perfection, is just the kind of guy punk rock bands love to hate. Who knows.
Interestingly enough, the song officially released just a few days before Wednesday, when the NFL announced sweeping changes to its policy regarding anthem protests. Essentially, players no longer can peacefully protest on the field during the playing of "The Star-Spangled Banner," or else their team will be fined.
U.S. Vice President Mike Pence's reaction to the news was, well, exactly the kind of thing that justifies the existence of songs like "Total Football."

Using technology and low-cost resource to improve quality and achieve 40% cost reduction in a due diligence project
Clifford Chance were acting for a banking client in an exercise involving the internal transfer of loans. One element of this project involved completing due diligence questionnaires (DDQs) for multiple loan documents, with the aim of highlighting any restrictions on the ability to carry out this transfer.
The challenge
The traditional approach to due diligence involves allocating documents to lawyers, who review them and complete a DDQ using a template in Microsoft Word. However, the documentation provided by clients is often incomplete (missing schedules or Amendment Agreements, for example).
This results in the review being delayed while these additional documents are sourced. In addition, completing the DDQ in Word means that the completed reviews need to be returned to a central person for collation and reporting. Also, when the DDQs are completed by multiple people it can result in inconsistencies.
The solution
Once a draft DDQ had been agreed with the client, our delivery centre developed this into an iSheet (essentially an online questionnaire). The iSheet was accessed through CC Connect – a secure platform that combines file sharing with collaboration tools. Using CC Connect allowed multiple Clifford Chance offices to work together through a shared platform. Completing the DDQ in iSheets drove efficiencies and ensured that all documents were reviewed in a consistent manner.
Simultaneous to development of the iSheet, our delivery centre was provided with access to the Client's chosen file-sharing platform. They completed an initial sense check of the uploaded documents to identify any which were missing and highlight any in a foreign language. This ensured that missing documents were requested as quickly as possible, causing minimal delay. Nothing was allocated to a reviewer until all the relevant documents were available making that stage of the process far more efficient.
Our delivery centre proceeded to review all English language documents. They provided local Counsel with access to the CC Connect site, allowing foreign language documents to be reviewed using the same iSheet.
The result
Combining the use of technology and our low-cost resource in our delivery centre allowed us to provide an efficient, high quality, cost-effective solution for the client on a fixed-fee basis, representing a reduction in the region of 40% compared to traditional approaches.

Date of Birth: February 17, 1981
Born in New York City, Paris Hilton is the great-granddaughter of Conrad Hilton, founder of the Hilton hotel chain. Before beginning her career as a model and then, actress, she was already well known for her club-hopping and jet-setting lifestyle.
Following in the footsteps of her mother, Kathy, and her aunts, Kim Richards, a former child star who appeared in many Disney movies such as Escape to Witch Mountain, and Kyle Richards, who was a regular on the TV series Little House on the Prairie, Paris first dabbled in acting when she was ten, playing "girl on the beach" in the small budget Wishman (1991). She then put her acting career on hold for another nine years, when at 19, she played a role in the independent film Sweetie Pie (2000).
By now a celebrity, Paris made a cameo in Ben Stiller's Zoolander (2001). But it was in 2003 that she truly became a household name. Fox TV chose her to appear alongside her sister, Nicky, in their new reality series, The Simple Life. Nicky opted out of it, so Paris then suggested her friend, Nicole Richie (daughter of singer Lionel Richie), as a replacement and the show was an immediate hit due to Paris' charm and Nicole's mischievous sense of humor. It featured the two socialites traveling to a small town and staying with a farm family. Each week, they tried out a different menial job (usually failing miserably). The skimpily-clad girls did, however, attract much attention from the town's male inhabitants.
Just before the show was to air, an explicit video of Paris, taken when she was 19, was released over the Internet, of her having sex with then-boyfriend Rick Salomon. Although lawsuits were threatened, the video was eventually even released to the public under the name One Night in Paris.
The extra publicity didn't hurt Hilton any. A second season of The Simple Life was ordered. In addition, she landed small roles in films such as Wonderland with Val Kilmer (2003), Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat with Mike Myers (2003) and Raising Helen with Kate Hudson (2004). She then co-starred in the horror movie House of Wax (2004) and although she played her first leading role in a big budget production in National Lampoon's Pledge This! (2005), the movie was never released to theaters. TV appearances include NBC's Las Vegas and FOX's hit series The OC.
Famous more for her antics than her work, she's been linked to a number of high profile men (Leonardo DiCaprio, Edward Furlong, Jamie Kennedy, Nick Carter), including a short engagement to Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis. Hilton also makes headlines for her numerous conflicts with other celebrities, such as Lindsay Lohan and former beauty queen Shanna Moakler, whose estranged husband, Travis Barker, she was reportedly seeing. Hilton's interests include yoga, tennis and designing a high-end purse collection and jewelry line with her sister. She is also actively involved in numerous charities and has lent her support to various animal advocacy organizations.
She divides her time between Los Angeles, Miami, New York and various European cities.

Sharpening in Photoshop Part Five
If you have been reading all of the parts in this sharpening series for Photoshop, then you will have discovered some useful effective methods to sharpen images without losing too much quality. For this final part, I will show some quick techniques to sharpen an image without the need for using the methods mentioned previously or can be combined.
Sharpening a selection
If for example you only wanted to sharpen a selected area of an image, you could choose this as a layer using quick selection tool in Photoshop.
Convert this to a smart object (mentioned in previous parts) then apply unsharp mask or smart sharp depending on which one you prefer to use.
Sharpen Tool
Another quick fix is to use the sharpen tool which can be found on the left menu bar in Photoshop. Its handy for a quick fix but it does not have the flexibility of other tools to help soften or reduce noise in areas.
There are many ways to improve an image depending on the situation and throughout the five parts of this series I have shown enough to suit any need. You can also use two sharpening techniques to help improve clarity even more. I hope I have shown you enough to work through anyway, and attempted to make it as easy as possible for anyone just starting out in editing. If you have any comments, please leave one below.

Some subscribers to this blog are interested in developing a Transnational Co-operative University. This putative organization could transcend existing models of the university, taking full advantage of the internet, and freeing itself from the sometimes restrictive legislative frameworks in individual states.
In their MOOC "Globalizing Higher Education and Research for the 'Knowledge Economy'" launched yesterday on the Coursera platform, Susan Robertson and Kris Olds explore how globalization is transforming university operations, getting into the details of the different logics, models and mechanisms through which universities get entangled in the globalization project:
It is important to engage with this thinking, because a transnational co-operative university will require organizing logics, models and mechanisms of its own, and these may not be rooted in the legal frameworks we are currently familiar with in our home contexts.
When I presented at the IoE on my report into 'Realising the Co-operative University' I covered the necessary and sufficient definition of the conditions needed to create a formally co-operative university in England. To recap: as a minimum, to be a co-operative, the organization has to be owned by the members and adhere to the ICA Co-operative Identity Statement – so far so easy (though it does raise interesting governance questions). To be a university, the organisation has to have at least 4 years track record of delivering degree-level courses and more than 1,000 students to be able to apply for university title. There are a host of other attached requirements, but these are the big ones. Some might see these restrictions as good for preserving the quality of the organisation, while others might view it as too restrictive. If you take the latter view, then Susan and Kris's MOOC moves the debate forward from the decline of the public university, to an examination of the new possibilities for higher education that globalization is constructing.
Co-operation is an historically and fundamentally internationalist movement, as well as being a human capacity found everywhere. This MOOC is essential study for those interested in establishing co-operative universities.

Two beer bars were destroyed and one person was injured after a newly installed transformer exploded near Walking Street, sparking a massive inferno.
The fire behind the Marine Plaza Hotel broke out around 11 p.m. March 10 with flames spreading quickly to adjacent structures. Several beer bars caught fire with two – Titanic Bar and Ann Ann – completely engulfed by the time 10 fire engines arrived to battle the blaze.
Several hair salons, beauty shops and restaurants across the street as well as 17 motorbikes parked in the fire zone also were damaged.
Two people were treated for smoke inhalation. Initial estimates figured the fire caused 6-7 million baht in damage.
The scene that played out on the popular shortcut to Walking Street resembled a Hollywood disaster film, with bar workers and tourists running for their lives.
Sakrin Kaokokruad, 28, said he was tending to customers at the Titanic Bar when he heard several explosions. He turned to see that a transformer had exploded and, before he knew it, everything around it was on fire.
Local workers tried to battle the flames with fire extinguishers, but the fire grew too quickly. It took firefighters about 30 minutes to get it under control.
Provincial Electricity Authority spokesman Prit Chancharoen said electricians had installed the transformer just the day before. He could offer no reason why it exploded, although faulty workmanship seems likely.
The explosion knocked out power to about 50 bars for the rest of Saturday night.
Banglamung District Chief Naris Niramaiwong noted this was not the first transformer explosion to hit the Walking Street area and called upon the PEA and other utilities to address the issue as it not only is a threat to people and property, but to the area's tourism reputation.
Almost two years ago to the day, fire gutted the Blue Sky Rock bar on Walking Street after a squirrel shorted out the transformer. No one was injured in the 8 a.m. blaze. Naris, on that day, also called on the PEA to improve its transformers, noting Blue Sky was the third Walking Street transformer fire in recent years.
