Farage resigns as UKIP leader: http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/jul/04/nigel-farage-resigns-as-ukip-leaderGeez, the party leads are all falling like dominoes. Since when did Britain become such a nation of 'quitters'?
The word I'm hearing around here today is that it was some time in 1783.
Why the World Is Rebelling Against 'Experts'An unconventional, sometimes incoherent, resistance arises to the elites who keep explaining why changes that hurt the middle class are actually for its own good.The Great Rebellion is on and where it leads nobody knows.Its expressions range from Brexit to the Trump phenomena and includes neo-nationalist and unconventional insurgent movement around the world. It shares no single leader, party or ideology. Its very incoherence, combined with the blindness of its elite opposition, has made it hard for the established parties across what's left of the democratic world to contain it.What holds the rebels together is a single idea: the rejection of the neo-liberal crony capitalist order that has arisen since the fall of the Soviet Union. For two decades, this new ruling class could boast of great successes: rising living standards, limited warfare, rapid technological change and an optimism about the future spread of liberal democracy. Now, that's all fading or failing.Living standards are stagnating, vicious wars raging, poverty-stricken migrants pouring across borders and class chasms growing. Amidst this, the crony capitalists and their bureaucratic allies have only grown more arrogant and demanding. But the failures of those who occupy what Lenin called "the commanding heights" are obvious to most of the citizens on whose behalf they claim to speak and act.The Great Rebellion draws on five disparate and sometimes contradictory causes that find common ground in frustration with the steady bureaucratic erosion of democratic self-governance: class resentment, racial concerns, geographic disparities, nationalism, cultural identity. Each of these strains appeals to different constituencies, but together they are creating a political Molotov cocktail. Class ConflictThe Brexit vote reflected the class aspect of the Rebellion. The London Times post-election analysis , notes socialist author James Heartfield, found the upper classes 57 percent for remain, the upper middle class fairly divided, while everyone below them went roughly two-thirds for leave. It doesn't get much plainer than that.This dissent reflect the consequences of the globalization celebrated by elites in both parties. Britain's industrial workforce, once the wonder of the world, is half as large as it was as just two decades ago. The social status of the British worker, even among the Labour grandees who pay them lip service, has been greatly diminished, notes scholar Dick Hobbs, himself a product of blue collar east London. "There are parts of London," he writes, "where the pubs are the only economy."As labor has struggled, writes Heartfield, "the Labour Party became more distant, metropolitan and elitist. It sought to re-write the party's policy to mirror its own concerns, and also to diminish working people's aspirations for social democratic reform in their favour. "A similar scenario has emerged here in America, where corporations—especially those making consumer goods—have grown fat on access to Chinese, Mexican and other foreign labor. Like their British counterparts, the U.S. working class is falling into social chaos, with declining marriage and church attendance rates, growing drug addiction, poor school performance and even declining life expectancy. Even during the primary campaign, as both Sanders and Trump railed against globalization United Technologies saw fit to announce the movement of a large plant form Indianapolis, where about 1,500 jobs were lost, to Monterrey.And much as the leave wave crested in just those parts of the U.K. where trade with Europe is highest, so is Trump support highest in the Southern states that now dominate what remains of American manufacturing.Race and EthnicityEthnic minorities and immigrants have now become core constituents of progressive parties in many countries—the Socialists in France, the British Labour Party and the Democratic Party here in America. In Britain, it never occurred to party's leaders that most new jobs created during the Blair and Brown regimes went to newcomers. One can admire the pluck of Polish plumbers, Latvian barmaids, Greek waiters and French technicians and still note that many of these jobs could have gone to native born British. This includes the children of the mostly non-white commonwealth immigrants who are now part of the country's national culture. The parallels in America—a much larger, richer and more diverse country—are striking. Silicon Valley and corporate America loves to bring in glorified indentured servants from abroad, earning the assent of Hillary Clinton and the corporate shill wing of the GOP. Only Trump and Sanders have attacked this program, which has cost even trained American workers their jobs.As tends to occur when race and ethnicity intrude, ugliness here seeps into the Great Rebellion. Trump has consciously and irresponsibly stoked ethnic resentments tied to immigration. Anti-EU continental Europeans— notably in eastern Europe but also France's Marine Le Pen— often outdo our TV billionaire's provocations.Geographic DisparitiesThe Brexit vote also revealed a chasm between the metropolitan core and the rest of the country. The urban centers of London, Manchester and Liverpool all voted Remain. Central London has benefited from being where the world's super rich park their money. The devastation of the industrial economy in the periphery has hardly touched the posh precincts of the premier global city.In contrast the more distant, often working class, suburbs of London and other cities voted to Leave. Small towns followed suit. The Brexit vote, suggests analyst Aaron Renn, demonstrated that arrogant urbanites, seeing themselves as the exclusive centers of civilization, ignore those who live outside the "glamour zone" at their own peril.Similar voting patterns can be seen in the US. The countryside, except for retirement havens of the rich, has gone way to the right. The suburbs are tilting that way, and could become more rebellious as aggressive "disparate impact" policies force communities to reshape themselves to meet HUD's social engineering standards —for example if they are too middle class or too white—even if there is no proof of actual discrimination.Needless to say, such policies could enhance the geographic base of the Great Rebellion, including among middle=class minorities who are now responsible for much of our current suburban growth. Already the small towns and outer suburbs have signed up with Trump; if he can make clear the threat to suburbia from the planners, he could, despite his boorish ugliness, win these areas and the election.Nationalism and Cultural IdentityNationalism gets a bad rap in Europe, for historically sound reasons. Yet these national cultures also have produced much of the world's great literature and music, and the world's most beautiful cities. Yet in contemporary Europe, these national cultures are diminishing. Instead the crony capitalist regime gives us Rem Koolhaas' repetitious generic city, often as stultifying as the most mindless suburban mall.Not just buildings, but historic values are also being undermined, as universities and even grade schools seek to replace cherished values with post-modernist, politically correct formulations. English students at Yale protest having to read Chaucer, Shakespeare or Milton, the foundation writers of the world's common language whose greatest sin, it appears, was to be both English and male.Of course, cultural and political nationalism often shows an ugly side. But everyone who shouts for the British national soccer team or chants USA at the Olympics is not a fascist; they are just people who love their country. Yet academia, the shaper of the young and impressionable, now sometimes regard any positive assessment of America as the land of opportunity or even the American flag as "micro-aggressions." Brits and Americans have much to be ashamed about in their history, but their glorious achievements remain inspirational to many, who find attempts to replace them with some tortured global syncretism foolish and counterproductive.Governance and LocalismWhen Brits told pollsters why they had voted to leave the EU, notes James Heartfield, immigration and national identity ranked high but democracy and self-governance was at the top of the list. In contrast, classes who supported remain—the mainstream media, academia, the legal and financial establishments—increasingly see themselves as rightful rulers, the benighted masses be damned.This anti-EU rebellion is hardly limited to Britain. Since 2005 French, Danish and Dutch voters have voted against closer EU ties. Hostility to the EU, as recorded by Pew, is actually stronger in many key European countries, including France, than it is in Britain. And after the Brexit vote, there are already moves for similar exit referenda in several European countries.But like Washington bureaucrats who can't be bothered to pay much attention to the views of the underlings of the Heartland, the Eurocrats want to double down. But like Washington bureaucrats who can't be bothered to pay much attention to the views of the underlings of the Heartland, the Eurocrats want to double down. The Germans, the effective rulers of Europe, have reacted to Brexit with talk about ways to "deepen" the EU, creating the basis for what some have argued would be essentially "a superstate". This policy approach seems about as brilliant as that of Lord North, whose response to American agitation was to further tighten London's screws. That certainly worked well.— bringing to mind Lord North, who responded to colonial agitation by further tightening London's screws.This arrogance, in part, stems froms what one writer at the Atlantic has called the war on the stupid. In this formulation, those with elite degrees, including the hegemons on Wall Street and Silicon Valley, dismiss local control as rule by the Yahoos. The progressive ideal of government by experts—sometimes seen as "the technocracy"—may sounds good in Palo Alto or London, but often promise a dim future for the middle class. Expert regulation, often with green goals in mind, take hard-earned gains like car and home ownership and cheap air travel all but out of reach for the middle class, while keeping them around for the globe-trotting elites.Where does this goThe Great Rebellion is, if nothing else, political incoherent.Some conservatives hail it as a harbinger of the decline of progressivism. Traditional leftists hope for the return of state socialism, directed from national capitals. Racists see a vindication for their world view. Libertarians hail de-regulation while others, on the nationalist right, embrace the authoritarian nationalism of Vladimir Putin. Yet for all its divergent views, the Great Rebellion has accomplished this: the first serious blow to the relentless ascendency of neo-liberal crony capitalism. The revels have put the issue of the super-state and the cause of returning power closer to the people back on the agenda. The Great Rebellion allows localities relief from overweening regulations, cities to be as urban as they want, and the periphery choose how they wish to develop.The Rebellion also allows us to move beyond enforced standards of racial "balance" and reparations , replacing the chaos of unenforced borders and enforced "diversity" with something more gradual and organic in nature. Our hope on race and ethnicity lies not in rule-making from above , but in allowing the multiculturalism of the streets to occur, as is rapidly does, in suburban schoolyards, soccer pitches and Main Streets across the Western world.National cultures do not need to be annihilated but allowed to evolve. In Texas, California, and across the southwestern, Spanish phraseology, Mexican food and music are already very mainstream. Without lectures from the White House or preening professors, African-American strains will continue to define our national culture, particularly in the south. In Europe, few object to couscous on bistro menus, falafel on the streets and, in Britain, the obligatory curry at the pub.The Great Rebellion is much more than the triumph of nativism, stupidity and crudeness widely denounced in the mainstream media. Ethnic integration and even globalization will continue, but shaped by the wishes of democratic peoples, not corporate hegemons or bureaucratic know-it-alls. We can now once again aspire to a better world—better because it will be one that people, not autocrats, have decided to make.
Had it been otherwise, we'd now be watching Earl Sir Donald vying for the crown.
Perilous Plebiscites: Brexit Vote Underscores Limits of Direct DemocracyA SPIEGEL Editorial by Michael SaugaBrexit sheds light on the problems created when the idea of direct democracy is abused. In our complex 21st century world, we have no choice but to delegate authority for most decision-making to our elected representatives.
SPIEGEL: You have said that politicians in London should be given the possibility to rethink the consequences of withdrawing from the EU. It sounds as if you are hoping they will change their minds.Altmaier: At the moment, that seems rather unlikely. But reflection is taking place everywhere -- for example what it means to reverse 40 years of integration, to leave the single market or to lose influence over how it is shaped. British institutions should be given the possibility to discuss these consequences.SPIEGEL: There is a tradition in the EU of simply holding multiple referenda until you get the desired result.Altmaier: You're hinting at the votes in Ireland on the Treaty of Nice and the Treaty of Lisbon. The EU didn't have the votes repeated, Ireland did so itself. Germany's constitution does not permit such referenda for good reasons.SPIEGEL: Horst Seehofer, the head of the Christian Social Union, the Bavarian sister party to Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats, has been advocating strongly to change that.Altmaier: I think it is right for us to continue to be reserved at the federal level about plebiscitary elements -- especially if such decisions have direct effects on other countries, as is the case with Britain right
As I said, some things are worth a strategic withdrawal......And besides this way we didn't have to pick up the tab for keeping the French and Indians at bay any more. And all we asked was a couple of coppers on every pound of tea.
Text message in full:"You are my friend. I respect the fact that you want Theresa May to be PM. It is overwhelmingly likely that she will be. And if she does I will sleep easily at night. But I am seriously frightened about the risk of allowing Andrea Leadsom onto the membership ballot. What if Theresa stumbles? Are we really confident that the membership won't vote for a fresh face who shares their attitudes about much of modern life? Like they did with IDS [Iain Duncan Smith]. I am not asking you to respond unless you positively want to have a chat. But I hope that you will reflect on this carefully. Michael doesn't mind spending 2 months taking a good thrashing from Theresa if that's what it takes but in the party's interest and the national interest surely we must work together to stop AL[Andrea Leadsom]? xNick"

EUROPEAN Union (EU) members have today voted overwhelmingly to bring back border controls in a blow to the Schengen free movement agreement.By ALIX CULBERTSONPUBLISHED: 08:10, Wed, Jul 6, 2016 | UPDATED: 20:35, Wed, Jul 6, 2016

A Tale of Two CitiesELIOT A. COHENBritain has decided that London won't be Brussels. Other responses to the failure of Western elites may not be so mannerly."As big as Agincourt," said one pro-Brexit friend of mine, a highly intellectual former soldier of an admittedly enthusiastic type. "Well, maybe make that Suez," he said after a pause, "but in any case, the biggest political event here of my lifetime." Arriving in London immediately after the vote that will carry Britain out of the European Union I was inclined to agree.The pros and cons of Brexit are complicated; reasonable people could and did disagree. But what was most interesting was the reaction to a vote outcome unpredicted by the pollsters or, just as important these days, the betting parlors. In London, and throughout most of Britain's upper-middle class world, the quality press, and the political establishment—the Great and the Good, in short—the result was not disappointment but curious combination of despair, hysteria, and quiet elation.Much of the outcry against Brexit was not merely despondent, but, as my Twitter feed revealed, unqualified in its belief that the vote was a catastrophe. Equally unambiguous was the contempt expressed for those on the other side. The professors, business people, and journalists making remarks about the "lizard brain of the British people" had no visible inclination to do what some American conservatives appalled by the rise of Trump have realized they need to do, namely, figure out why a majority of their countrymen went for a choice they consider dangerously crazy.What also appeared was a manifestation of a nasty class-based bigotry, as acid and ugly as anything an 18th-century aristocrat might have expressed for an uppity cobbler who presumed to have a political opinion. It was manifested most clearly, in London at any rate, by the gilded young who immediately began snarling at the old and the working class who voted for Brexit, and talking—emptily, most likely—about leaving London for elsewhere.The larger phenomenon here, however, is a crisis not of ignorant masses, but of elites who have failed. All societies, except perhaps the Greek city-states of antiquity, are led by elites or, as the great sociologist Digby Baltzell described them, establishments. As long as they provide their societies with some consequential benefit (prosperity, success in war, or political leadership), can absorb talented non-elite members, and display virtues that the rest of society values (public service, self-sacrifice, or military courage) they deserve to hang on and do.The elites of London, like those of this country and large parts of the Western world, appear in many ways to have failed those tests. The crash of 2008 crystallized a view of the financial class in particular as reckless, self-dealing manipulators. As Joel Kotkin among others has pointed out, by virtue of how our education systems have evolved, elite youth increasingly marry one another, and the prosperous can (and do) give their children every leg up—which poorer parents cannot hope to match. Meanwhile, the political and intellectual elites deserve, and receive, very little credit for patriotism or courage, because they do not exhibit much. As manifested on campuses in Great Britain as here, they increasingly show themselves intolerant of dissenting opinions, and inclined to bully because they have forgotten (or never learned) how to argue.The failure of courage, Solzhenitsyn said at a particularly dark point in the Cold War, was in danger of becoming a distinguishing feature of the West. The young people who talked petulantly of abandoning their country because of a vote they did not like were bright graduates of the best universities in the English-speaking world—and severely deficient in pluck. They had no notion of that patriotism which says that when your country is in trouble, you are supposed to fight it out, not begin checking to see if Morgan Stanley is hiring in Madrid. They are not fit to be trusted with political power.And in the very intemperateness of their reaction lies one of the best reasons to think that Brexit is, with all its hazards, a good thing. The London of today was sliding into becoming a bigger, brighter, and more lively Brussels—so international that it had no discernible identity; so cosmopolitan in its self-understanding that it had no pride in its own history and unique character; so unwilling to accept the burdens of self-government that it preferred the administration of well-meaning but unaccountable bureaucrats to the crash and bang of democracy in action. The poison of Brussels-style Euro-politics had clearly infected those Londoners whose first impulse was to do what European politicians have done for decades: compel the lower classes who have voted the wrong way to vote again until they do the thing their betters thought they ought to have done in the first place.At the end of the day, however, and despite the views expressed by the leaders of all the major political parties, the flagship newspapers, and most of the intellectual class, Brexit won. Bloody-mindedness probably helped. President Obama's meddling in British politics by arguing for "remain" inadvertently assisted the campaign for "leave." There were, it turned out, politicians and intellectuals ready to make the case for Brexit. Today, millions of Brits rightly think that they are reclaiming independence and sovereignty that had been leaching away to an amorphous and corrupt European federation cracking under the strain of multiple crises.And although it may be rocky, it will probably work, despite the scaremongering and the doomsaying. European politicians have threatened, in effect, to punish Britain for leaving by withholding the free market if Britain does not accept all of the European Union's rules—but their own record of yielding to pressure, ignoring their own commitments, and going back on their word suggests that in the end, they will bend. Great Britain has a larger and healthier economy than France. It cannot be coerced the way Norway was into accepting all of the European Union's rules. U.S. politicians may even (and should) quietly remind Europe's leaders that our sympathies are with the country whose language, literature, and legal system shaped our own, and whose armed forces are one of our most valued partners.The Scottish nationalists, who are no longer a majority in the Scottish Parliament, may try to secede, but if they do they will have to lead Scotland into a European Union in worsening turmoil, some of whose members bitterly oppose secessionist nationalisms like theirs (e.g. Spain fearful of the Catalan independence movement), and which will not have the money to replace the billions of pounds in English subsidies that keep the Scottish welfare state afloat. As for the banks, some will no doubt reallocate staff elsewhere in Europe, but London was an epic financial center before the European Union existed, and will remain so because of the power of British rule of law, the attractiveness of the city, its physical location, and the ubiquity of English as the international language.Brexit, like the rise of Trump, can be interpreted as a manifestation of the failure of elites, but it is a far healthier phenomenon. The Brits of 2016 are not the Brits of 1940, but if Britain could handle Philip II of Spain and Napoleon, the Kaiser and Hitler, it can probably cope with the temper tantrums of Jean-Claude Juncker, president of the European Commission. Meanwhile, Brussels is locked into a political system that seems doomed to stasis. Brexit will have second- and third-order effects in a Europe that is economically stagnant, incapable of coping with a vast migration crisis, unable to defend itself against a much-poorer Russia to its East, and rattled by Islamist terrorists from the forgotten neighborhoods. The Brits have merely acted on sentiments shared by many Europeans; the revolt of the latter may be a lot nastier than the more orderly decision of the former.Brexit was a courageous thing to do. If it succeeds it may mark a change not only in the structure of Europe, but in the character of our societies and those who lead them. If that is so, the British will once again, as so often in the past, set a course for others to follow, and we should cheer them on.

CHULA VISTA, Calif. (AP) — A Border Patrol agent fatally shot a 32-year-old mother of five Friday in suburban San Diego as he rode on the hood of her car after she ran into him, authorities and family members said.
The agent fired after being driven several hundred yards on the hood, Chula Vista police Capt. Gary Wedge told The Associated Press. The woman was later identified in a police statement as Valeria Alvarado.
The shooting occurred about five miles north of the Mexican border as plainclothes agents were looking to serve a felony warrant in the area to someone other than Alvarado, Border Patrol Deputy Chief Rodney Scott told U-T San Diego.
Scott said the agent was stuck atop the car as Alvarado drove.
"Fearing for his life, he discharged his weapon to get the vehicle to stop," Scott said. No other agents fired.
Alvarado was declared dead at the scene, and the agent was taken to a hospital. His injuries were not clear.
After talking to investigators, family members including her husband and cousin told U-T San Diego that Alvarado was a housewife and mother of five children ranging from ages 3 to 17 who went by the name Monique.
"I love her to the fullest. That's my heart," husband Gilbert Alvarado said. "Where's the evidence my wife threatened a trained officer? I want justice."
Family members said Valeria Alvarado grew up in Chula Vista where the shooting took place but had been living about five miles away in the Southcrest neighborhood of San Diego, and they did not know why she was in her former hometown.
Hector Salazar, one of several neighbors who witnessed the incident, said he saw a man in civilian clothes on the hood of a black car aiming a gun at the windshield.
Salazar told U-T San Diego the man started pulling the trigger, and he heard about five shots. Moments later, other plainclothes agents approached the car, he said.
The person named in the warrant the agents were serving was not apprehended, Scott said.
The FBI and Chula Vista police are investigating.

Wikitravel talk:Guide articles
For reference the old "guide articles needing attention" list has been archived at Wikitravel talk:Guide articles/Guide articles needing attention.
I added {{guidepark}} to the list of guide types thinking that there is such a thing (there is a {{usablepark}}). I think it's a useful difference. Could someone who knows how put together the guidepark template? OldPine 11:18, 14 August 2007 (EDT)
Standards for addition to guide articles..[edit]
For articles as they are being built, it is better to have some information than none at all. The better the standard of the article, and as it grows, the greater the expectation of the standard of edits. This seem to reflect the reality of what happens here. Would there be any objections to including a para to this effect in description of guide and star articles? --Inas 20:32, 8 February 2009 (EST)
Who Determines What is a Guide Article?[edit]
I have read the pages about Usable articles versus Guide Articles, and am I correct in stating that anyone can make a page a "guide" just by placing the correct formatting at the bottom of the page? Is there a system that checks to make sure the page is really a guide?
I am working to at least get the Okayama page to guide status, and I was looking at some of the current guides, and the quality seems varied, so I was curious as to how it will be determined when a page has become a guide.
For example, these are guides, but they don't appear to be all that thorough (in my opinion): Luling Goris Shorjha
What makes them up to guide standards?
I realize there is work to be done on the Okayama page, particularly with the "Eat" category, but I was just wondering if it will be changed automatically once it reaches guide status or if I am supposed to decide that it's a guide and change the status myself as I see fit?ChubbyWimbus 09:35, 21 February 2009 (EST)

You will recognize Rosie from her work with Victoria's Secret, Burberry, or her role in the third Transformers movie in which she replaced Megan Fox as the female lead. She was first featured on the cover of the November 2008 British Vogue along with two other models. In 2009 she was awarded "Model of the Year†by Elle, the same year she became a Victoria's Secret Angel.
She has modeled for numerous fashion brands and walked in Fashion Week all over the world. Rosie has graced the covers of GQ UK (twice), Harper's Bazaar Russia, British Vogue (solo in 2011), and Elle UK. It's no wonder that this British babe was voted no. 1 on both Maxim's Hot 100 and FHM's Worlds Sexist women in 2011. Fashion photographer Rankin published Ten Times Rosie, a book solely devoted to the beauty who he proclaims is destined for great things.
Rosie was born April 18, 1987 in Plymouth, Devon, England and grew up on a farm. Her first modeling sessions were with Levi and Abercrombie and Fitch in 2003 and 2004. While growing up, Rosie was teased for her looks by her classmates - little did they know she'd be considered one of the most beautiful women soon after. She was cast in the Transformers movie because she had previously met the director, Michael Bay while shooting a holiday commercial for Victoria's Secret.

For the first time since the Great Recession, the nation's gross domestic product contracted in the fourth quarter, declining 0.1% and falling well short of expectations, the Commerce Department said Wednesday.
GDP, the broadest measure of the nation's economic health, had climbed 3.1% in the third quarter. The consensus for Q4 GDP was 1% growth.
The first decrease in GDP in 3 1/2 years resulted largely from a steep decline in military spending with sequestration looming and lower company inventories as businesses curtailed investments and expansions amid fiscal cliff fears and higher taxes.
Some economists also pointed to Superstorm Sandy, budget battles and debt ceiling debates as additional culprits.
"It's hard to see the economy really kicking into higher gear until we're further down the line and have more of a chance to digest tax increases and the spending cuts that are coming,"
Moody Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi said in a call with reporters.

Goins among club's Minor League award winners
BALTIMORE -- Infielder Ryan Goins headlines the list of Blue Jays prospects who received this year's R. Howard Webster Awards, which recognize the most valuable players on each of the club's Minor League affiliates.
Goins was named MVP at Triple-A Buffalo after he hit .257 with 22 doubles and a .311 on-base percentage in 111 games. The Texas native also provided well-above average defense at shortstop with an impressive .981 fielding percentage during a year that also included a handful of games at second and third base.
It marks the second consecutive Webster Award for Goins after he was named MVP for Double-A New Hampshire following the 2012 season.
"I like everything I've seen out of him," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said of Goins, who was called up at the end of August. "He was there all year long and he's just a good steady baseball player. It's a good honor for him."
The other winners announced Tuesday included outfielder Brad Glenn (Double-A New Hampshire), second baseman Jon Berti (Class A Dunedin), outfielder Dwight Smith Jr. (Class A Lansing), first baseman L.B. Dantzler (Class A Vancouver), first baseman Matt Dean (Rookie Advanced), shortstop Franklin Barreto (Rookie League) and Miguel Castro (Dominican Summer League).
Barreto is ranked the club's No. 18 overall prospect, according to MLB.com. He signed for $1.45 million last July and made his debut this year in the Gulf Coast League. He ranked second on the team with a .299 average, first in the league with a .529 slugging percentage while also hitting 16 doubles, six triples, four homers and 30 runs.
Dean finds himself as the Blue Jays' No. 20 prospect on MLB.com's list. He signed an over-slot deal after being taken in the 13th round of the 2011 First-Year Player Draft and made his debut last year in the Appalachian League. He won the batting title in the same league this season with a .338 average and a .909 OPS. Dean also added 14 doubles, three triples, six homers and 37 runs in 63 regular-season games.

A challenge to Michigan's 2004 constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage faces a hearing in federal court Wednesday, Oct. 16, and among those awaiting a decision is Wayne State University Law School Distinguished Professor Robert Sedler.
Sedler is a consultant to attorneys Dana Nessel, a 1994 Wayne Law graduate, and Carole Stanyar, who represent Hazel Park residents April DeBoer and Jayne Rowse. The lesbian couple challenged the voter-approved amendment so they can marry legally and thus have joint custody of their three adopted children. Michigan law allows single people to adopt but not an unmarried couple, so the women's children are limited to one parent unless DeBoer and Rowse can wed legally.
Sedler of Southfield was consulted in their case because of his world-wide reputation as a constitutional law expert and because of a 2004 essay (50 Wayne Law Review 835) he wrote, "The Constitution Should Protect the Right to Same-Sex Marriage."
"I contend that the Equal Protection Clause should be interpreted by the Supreme Court to prohibit the state from discriminating against same-sex persons by denying them the right to enter into the legal relationship of marriage," the professor wrote.
The Michigan women's legal challenge was filed in 2012, prior to the U.S. Supreme Court's June 26 decision, which struck down part of a federal law that denied benefits to married same-sex couples. But that decision could have an impact on the women's case, in which a decision is expected soon from U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman.
The judge cited the Supreme Court decision in July, when he denied the state of Michigan's motion to dismiss the women's case. And he, like Sedler, mentioned the Equal Protection Clause in his opinion.
"The Supreme Court has just invalidated a federal statute on equal protection grounds because it 'placed same-sex couples in an unstable position of being in a second-tier marriage,'" Friedman wrote. "Moreover, and of particular importance in this case, the justices expressed concern that the natural consequences of such discriminatory legislation would not only lead to the regulation of same-sex relationships to a form of second-tier status, but impair the rights of 'tens of thousands of children now being raised by same-sex couples' as well. This is exactly the same type of harm plaintiffs seek to remedy in this case."
The state attorney general's office argues that Michigan voters approved the 2004 same-sex marriage ban and that legally states have the right to define marriage. Friedman has allowed other interested parties to file arguments in the case. The parties include the Michigan Family Forum and Michigan Catholic Conference, both of which support the state's argument.
Sedler said he won't predict an outcome in the case, but he is hopeful that the U.S. Supreme Court's decision will lead the way for Michigan.

Herschel and Planck pass in-orbit 'exam'
Herschel and Planck have both passed an important 'exam' they were to take before they could go about doing what space telescopes and observatories do.
Both missions have successfully completed their in-orbit commissioning reviews.
The spacecraft are in excellent condition, their instruments have been commissioned, and are now certified ready to begin the performance verification phase to attain optimum performance for scientific observations.
This marks the end of the development phase and the start of the operational phase for both missions.

Nothing could be easier than renting a car at Albuquerque airport. With a wide selection of car rental companies to choose from, Albuquerque International Sunport, you are guaranteed to find the vehicle you need. Note that it is advisable to reserve a vehicle before your arrival to guarantee you get the car you want.
Finding the car rental counters is relatively easy. Though they have moved and are now found at the Sunport Car Rental Center, the airport provides a shuttle service to take you from the terminal building to the rental center, where you can also find the pick-up and return lots.
A shuttle leaves for the Sunport Car Rental Center every 5 minutes, so you won't have to wait long. It leaves from right outside the first level of the terminal building, from the commercial lane. The buses used for the shuttle service are accessible to handicapped passengers and the service is free of charge.
So, preferably, you should choose a rental company and make a reservation in advance, which can easily be done online. Subsequently, when you arrive at Albuquerque airport, make your way to the first-level exit of the terminal building, where you can jump on the shuttle bus, which will take you right to the Sunport Car Rental Center.
Once there, proceed to the customer service counter of the car rental company you reserved the car from and go through the formalities. You can then pick your vehicle up from the ready lot.
When leaving Albuquerque, simply return the vehicle to the Sunport Car Rental Center, complete any other necessary formalities and make your way to the shuttle bus, which will take you right to the airport's terminal building.
Car rental at Albuquerque airport couldn't be easier, making it one less thing to worry about. Though vehicles are available for walk-in customers, the selection will be more varied if you reserve the vehicle beforehand. And that's about the only thing you'll have to do, because finding and getting to the Sunport Car Rental Center is easy, thanks to the shuttle service, and the return trip is just as simple. So, enjoy your trip to Albuquerque because car rental is one thing you won't have to worry about.

Finding an Internship in France: A "Food for Thought" Approach
I have to say, that I've never been much of a fan of boats.
Scratch that.
I really dislike boats.
Scratch that again.
I downright despise boats of all kinds—ferries, canoes, cruises, kayaks, barges, rafts and yes, even those Parisian tourist transit vessels otherwise collectively known as "Batobus."
And yet there I was, not so long ago, in the exact same boat that every master's student everywhere in France is forced to board at one time or another.
I was in search of an internship.
My mission was nothing less than to find a one-month post that promised to deliver invaluable industry knowledge, personalized on-the-job training, and (hey, why not dream big?) an awesome professional network that would naturally pave the way to a steadfast slew of future career opportunities.
I mean really, how hard could it be?
I was qualified enough–backed by a respectable undergraduate degree, multiple overseas volunteer trips, a year of study abroad, graduate classes and a teaching assistantship, not to mention nearly 10 years of professional experience.
I was also a native Anglophone; that alone had to be considered a perk.
Ergo, I'd easily find an internship within a month.
Okay, maybe two. Right?
The start of my mission appeared promising.
At first.
I was, after all, armed with everything I thought I needed: a re-vamped CV (a.k.a. "résumé" to all my fellow Americans); a well-crafted cover letter (a.k.a. "lettre de motivation en français"); a list of URLs pointing me to the best job boards, the best internship-focused Facebook groups, the best university website recommendations for where-to-find-le-meilleur-stage-en-France.com; and of course (because we've all heard that it's not who you are but who you know) an address book containing a small sampling of professors, alumni, old employers, even long lost cousins who might be able to refer me somewhere (anywhere), assuming they remembered who I was.
Never mind that I was an American expat in a foreign, Francophone world.
Never mind that while my French was good enough to survive in-French university exams, it was only so-so in the realm of formal, politically correct, professional exchange.
And never mind if I wasn't fully briefed on whatever application standards, interview etiquette and hiring customs were unique to France.
I was on a mission, fueled by the relief that follows the completion of semester exams and ready to reach for the stars. I'd read enough blog posts advising me what to do, where to go, and how to "poser une super magnifique candidature" to snag my dream internship.
"Le stage de mes rêves." That ideal post.
That once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get my foot in the door of a budding–no, blooming–start-up or well-established, multi-national company with major wow-factor. I'd settle for nothing less.
I had crossed an ocean to be here after all. If we don't reach for the stars, we'll never get off the couch, right?
It turns out that, sometimes, when you reach only for the stars, you miss the perfectly less-than-perfect pearls right in front of you, at ground level.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. I, unfortunately, wasn't quite there yet. I hadn't yet realized that there was a world of worthwhile opportunities mid-spectrum between the internship of my dreams and a nightmare post that would be considered by most non-French countries as exploited free labor.
I was still fishing for the "poste parfait"– responding to ads, submitting unsolicited applications (a.k.a "candidatures spontanées en français," which somehow makes "unsolicited" sound so much more welcome), requesting informational interviews, reaching out to professors for advice.
I was casting my net far and wide.
And I was catching: absolutely nothing.
What was I doing wrong?
Was it my CV?
My cover letter?
My level of French?
Or was it (gasp) me?
Was I less experienced than I thought?
Was I a clueless expat failing to fulfill the conventions and standards of French employers?
Did I fail to stand out from the other applicants, the other students, the other French students?
How had I not scored at least one interview?
It was obvious. I had to change my approach. I had to, at the very least, do something. So I did what any student could do. I took a deep breath and…
Lowered my expectations.
Who wants a dream internship anyway?
Everyone knows that perfect is boring. And who wants an internship that is so professionally demanding that in order to reap the rewards I'd have to treat it like a 70-hour job?
I might have finished classes but I hadn't completely abandoned my "I'm a student, it's my right and privilege to live a student life" mindset.
No, I didn't need a top-tier, envy-inducing internship position at the Louvre, the Ministry of (insert your ministry of choice here), le Monde, la Maison de Chanel/Saint Laurent/Dior, or Google France.
I had officially entered the healthier (albeit not as inspiring) phase known as open-minded realism.
Good-bye stagnant idealism.
Hello new possibility.
I was, as I've failed to mention, on a deadline. Not a personal deadline. A university administration deadline. And for anyone who has ever lived in France, you know that messing with administration can lead to very, very bad things.
So I continued to peruse ProfilCulture, the queen of cultural jobs boards. I continued to troll post after post on Facebook, LinkedIn, company-specific careers sites, government portals, association homepages, nonprofit forums, even Craigslist (which, by the way, is quite sad "en version française"). But this time around, posts I previously would have passed over gave me pause.
Hmmm…, I'd think.
I could do that.
I could intern there.
That could be fun/rewarding/interesting/tolerable.
Another tweak to my CV.
Another edit to my cover letter.
Another email sent.
Or worse: no response whatsoever.
No "we've received your application."
No "we'll let you know." No "please try again later."
Even an automated "thanks but no thanks" would have been appreciated at that point.
My "Paris is full of possibilities" attitude was slowly turning as murky as the Seine. Unanswered emails chipped away my motivation. The status of applications I'd submitted online remained pending, pending, still pending.
Never a good sign.
I was fast approaching the next phase of the internship search, a stage quite simply known as: desperation. I'll work anywhere, I thought. I'll work for anyone.
I'll do anything.
Well, almost anything. I still had my dignity.
Then, days later, I landed an interview. I couldn't believe it.
Within an hour of submitting my application online, the owner of a communications start-up called me personally to arrange a meeting the very next morning.
Was this it? I thought.
Did the hiring process in France really move this quickly? Were the gods finally on my side? So it seemed, until I was told that the post involved reviewing high-level French legal documents and my competence "en langue française" wasn't, well, quite up to par.
Alas, I was about to enter the fourth and final stage.
I was about to delete every single one of my candidate profiles, revoke all pending applications, shred every last hard copy of my CV, cover letter, "lettre de"…whatever. I would tell my university that the world of French internships was not foreigner-friendly, that I would get an internship in the States, the UK, Australia, or…why not? Bora Bora.
Anywhere but France.
I was quitting my search.
I was "quitter"-ing la France. But first, I needed a drink. I was, after all, in France. How could I leave without having one last glass of Côtes-du-Rhône?
I put aside all internship-related questions and asked something far more pertinent: where do I go for a nice glass of wine, a warm welcome, and a dose of friendly conversation, in Paris, on a Tuesday? I closed all job application windows, opened Meetup.com and spotted a listing for an afterwork at a café near Châtelet hosted by a group called Expats Paris.
Why not? I thought.
I was, in that moment, the epitome of a struggling expat—for better or for worse.
Maybe a fling with fellow internationals was exactly what I needed.
Turns out, it was all I needed.
Call it divine intervention.
Call it karma.
Call it luck.
Not only did I meet a group of kind, welcoming, diverse, interesting, fun, globally-minded people–both international and French, I met Michael, the organizer of the group and founder of Expats Paris.
One topic of conversation led to another to another to another, and the next thing I knew we were arranging a meeting over coffee the next morning to discuss a possible internship.
From the left (Manon; co-founder of Lostinfrenchlation, John from French Crazy, myself and Michael)
at a Breakfast hosted by Gymnglish for its partners lin June 2016.
By the end of the week, my missions were outlined, my duties detailed, my "convention de stage" signed. How had I, in the very darkest hours of my search, landed an internship without even trying?
Now, as I near the end of my term as Strategic Partnership Manager of Expats Paris, I can reflect on the past four weeks, appreciating the struggle of my search and the serendipitous nature of scoring a post I never actually applied for.
And while I don't feel particularly qualified to offer advice single-handedly, allow me to share some tidbits with the help of a few "friends." (Brace yourself; it's time to slip on your philosophical jumpsuit.)
So, the next time you find yourself submerged in a sea of internship applications and on the verge of desperation, remember:
"A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for".
John A. Shedd
So don't stay locked up in your studio, your focus plastered to the screen of your computer. Volunteer at an association. Check out a new Meetup. Introduce yourself to a stranger. Make room for chance.
"Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known".
Carl Sagan
So don't wait until you need an internship to explore new options and new opportunities; start now. Read a book. Take a class. Ask questions on a blog or forum. You may just discover a career option you never knew existed.
"For it matters not how small the beginning may seem; what is once well done is done forever".
- Henry David Thoreau.
So don't completely discount the first forty applications that went unanswered. Tweak that résumé and cover letter one more time. Our on-paper personas are always a work in progress.
"For after all, the best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain"
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
So when that twentieth rejection email pops into your inbox, hit "delete," take a deep breath, and move on. While there's always room for improvement, some things just aren't meant to be.
"One's kite will rise on the wind as far as ever one has string to let it go"
- D.H. Lawrence.
So don't limit yourself to what you think you know or what you think you want. We often don't know what's best for us until we find it (or it finds us). And that's okay.
"One chance meeting can change everything"
[this one's on me]
So be kind, genuinely, to everyone you meet. Make way for happy accidents. Embrace the unexpected. Take a gamble, take a risk.
Hop aboard and rock the boat.

Many Latino celebrities in the U.S. struggle to speak Spanish and are often frustrated by the reaction of others when they say they don't speak the language. But not being able to speak Español does not make them any less Latino than those who speak it fluently.

Shipping Estimates
Order Times for Above Ground Pools
Above ground pools are too large to be shipped through UPS, Federal Express, or the USPS. We typically ship all pool orders out 24-48 hours after you place your order unfortunately due to recent circumstances surrounding COVID-19, please expect shipping delays of 2-4 business days. Transit time can vary depending on your location but generally takes 4-8 business days to most areas.(AZ, CA, ID, MT, ND, NM, NV, OK, OR, SD, UT, WA, WI, WY will generally take 7-12 business days). Business Days are Monday thru Friday. When the shipment arrives at your local terminal, the carrier will call you to make an appointment before making the delivery to your home.
Important! An adult must be at the delivery location to receive and sign for an above ground pool and will be required to move the boxes from the truck at the time of delivery (we recommend at least 2 people to unload cartons from the truck). For your convenience, Liftgate Service can be added for $39 at checkout. With Liftgate Service, the delivery will come on a special truck with a hydraulic lift. The driver will use the lift to place the pallet on the ground curbside. (The truck driver is not responsible in moving your pallet to your desired location). This will make receiving the shipment much easier, especially if only one person is home to receive it.

Incredible product and even better customer service. I had questions about the install and sent an email with questions. Got a phone call the next morning from a very nice and helpful person. Install went great with his help. I would highly recommend this company.
Review by Christa B, CA on Aug 9, 2018 Verified Purchase
We were able to order everything we need. All of it is top of the line. We purchased the 40 x 18 oval pool. We couldn't be more pleased with the quality and beauty of this pool. The installers were extremely impressed with the high quality of all the parts of this pool. I take that as the ultimate compliment because they have seen and put together so many of them. Thank you so much! We are enjoying our swimming time.
Review by Becky on Jul 27, 2018
Received it in a week. Love my pool. I would highly recommend the pool factory. I also order my chemicals and they come in about 3 days. I wouldn't order from no one else
Review by Sheaky on Jun 29, 2018
Our experience with the pool factory was great! Customer service was wonderful, delivery was prompt, and our pool is beautiful along with a great price. Heavy duty pool from a wonderful Co. I highly recommend THE POOL FACTORY.

I purchased an above ground pool last fall from the pool factory. All items were received and packaged well. The face plate had a little crack. I emailed the pool factory and they immediately put a new one in the mail. I would highly recommend this company.

-"requesting the his personal data not be made public" - Does that mean anything that he reveals in interrogation? Or what else does 'personal data' refer to?
-"He also denounced as illegal, his arrest" - Is he saying it was illegal to arrest him?
@ 5:38ReplyDelete
Yes I heard that also, and I laughed because there are no woods where he was captured is a big open dry desert with a few bushes, no where to run and hide so I doubt if that part is true.
I may be wrong, but I took it as his personal info they collect such as cell phones etc. But I could be wrong.ReplyDelete

If you know for a fact tbat 40 is savage (Who the f**k doesn't), I think you are part of the problem. And, should be caught and setenced for your own criminal actions. If in fact you aren't a freaking liar. As for 40, totally agree with you Chivas. He will run the Z's from behind bars. Thanks again and my prayers are with you. Get well soon! Texas Grandma.

If they were worried about 40 giving up politicians they would've just killed him during the arrest or sent him to the US to be housed in solitary forever in some supermax.ReplyDelete
If they are worried about losing money with him going down, they will work with another cartel and finish off the Zetas completely. Not like there isn't a million narcos ready to replace Z at a moments notice.
Z's engage in small low level government corruption, not nearly as much as CDG/CDS. Those other cartels are running entire states from the top official down and are entrenched in 100 years of corruption while the Z's were just upstart terrorist thugs who would roll into town, kill all the police and demand taxes from everybody and since they were defected soldiers who normally would've been the one's dispatched to take back N. Mexico, nobody could stop them until they bit off more than they could chew and had to fight off both CDS/CDG, the US, and Mexican military. You can't fight all of them and not expect to lose, and judging by the list of dead and incarcerated original Zetas members their strategy has obviously failed bigtime and now it's time for the Mexcian gov to finish them off and replace them with a new cartel they can siphon money from that's easier to control. Z's were not under control of anybody, not even their own bosses. Cells stopped paying up a tax to the orig bosses so they sure weren't going to pay to any government officials when they could easily kill them instead and coerce whoever replaces him with threats. Remember Z's are gangsters first, drug dealers second. They simply tax existing operations where local narcos have already bribed politicians and aren't nearly as hands on in the drug trade as the traditional cartels are. Why sell drugs when you can find somebody who's doing it already, put a gun to his head and tell him to give you 30% of all future trades.
I'm sticking with the theory that z40 is going to sing his guts out to them to avoid extradition (also another reason he filed this protection, to prevent rendition to US solitary) and they will start rounding up bank accounts and plaza bosses until Beltran-Leyva takes over their operations, or golfos.

NEW YORK, New York - The international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) is to resume lifesaving search and rescue operations in the Central Mediterranean.
The organization has also condemned what is has described as 'the criminal inaction of European governments in the face of people dying at sea.'
Operated in partnership between MSF and the organization SOS MEDITERRANEE, the search and rescue ship Ocean Viking will sail to the central Mediterranean Sea at the end of this month, seeking to save lives along the world's deadliest migration route. At least 426 men, women and children have died so far this year, attempting to cross the central Mediterranean, including 82 in a shipwreck just over a fortnight ago.
However, MSF says European governments have engaged in a sustained campaign to stop virtually all humanitarian action at sea and have normalized policies that cause deaths at sea or keep people in Libya amid an ongoing war.
"Politicians would have you believe that the deaths of hundreds of people at sea, and the suffering of the thousands of refugees and migrants trapped in Libya, are the acceptable price of attempts to control migration," Sam Turner, MSF head of mission for search and rescue and Libya said Sunday. "The cold reality is that while they herald the end of the so-called European migration crisis, they are knowingly turning a blind eye to the humanitarian crisis these policies perpetuate in Libya and at sea. These deaths and suffering are preventable, and as long as this continues, we refuse to sit idle."
Deaths have continued at sea while few humanitarian vessels are left in the central Mediterranean and Europe's official search and rescue operation, according to MSF, has been recklessly abandoned. Commercial ships are in an untenable position, choosing either to ignore their duty to rescue people in distress or risk being stranded at sea for weeks while Italy refuses to let rescued people disembark and the other members of the European Union cannot agree on how to share responsibility.
Fighting has raged in and around Libya's capital Tripoli for more than three months, forcing more than 100,000 people to flee and endangering the lives of refugees and migrants trapped in detention centers. Earlier this month, an airstrike hit the Tajoura detention center in Tripoli, killing an estimated sixty people and injuring an estimated 70 people.
Humanitarian evacuations out of the country remain piecemeal and inadequate, MSF says, leaving the deadly sea crossing as one of the few possible escape routes. Meanwhile, European governments are violating their legal obligations and humanitarian principles by supporting the Libyan Coast Guard in forcibly returning vulnerable people to Libya, in some cases to detention centers where people trapped inside are shot or bombed.
"Our presence at sea is to save lives, that's the bottom line, but we will not be silent while vulnerable people suffer," said Turner. "European leaders' condemnation of the killings of vulnerable refugees and migrants in Libya should lead to the resumption of official search and rescue operations, disembarkation in places of safety, and the immediate evacuation [of refugees and migrants] and closure of all detention centers [in Libya]. Yet their increased support for interceptions at sea and returning people to the same places where atrocities are happening suggests that their words of condemnation may be meaningless."
MSF says as long as EU governments fail to take their responsibility for search and rescue operations, and as long people continue to flee Libya, humanitarian vessels will be needed in the Mediterranean. For MSF, whose work is governed by humanitarian principles, it would be unconscionable not to try to prevent people from dying at sea and to take them to a safe place, where those in need of international protection can seek asylum with the relevant authorities.

Oman says officials are widening health checks following the country's first death blamed on a SARS-like virus that has been centered in neighboring Saudi Arabia.
Oman's Health Ministry said on Monday that teams would conduct investigations, including checking for signs of the virus in people who came in contact with the deceased 68-year-old man. His death was reported on Sunday by the official Oman News Agency.
There have been more than 60 deaths from the virus, known as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, or MERS, with all but a handful of the fatalities in Saudi Arabia.
The virus is related to the SARS virus that killed about 800 people in 2003.
