How to Tap Strafe in Apex Legends
Apex Legends' movement is based on the Titanfall series but Respawn Entertainment intentionally locked some movement mechanics to prevent players from wall riding and doing all kinds of cool maneuvers. But one of the mechanics that was unintentionally added to the game is "tap strafing" and many Apex Legends players have learned to master it.
Respawn wanted to remove the mechanic at one point but the community was very upset with the developers' decision so tap strafing was not removed from the game. It is likely to be a permanent part of Apex Legends and players should master it if they can.
Best way to learn tap strafing in Apex Legends
Tap strafing is a movement tech that allows PC players to achieve unintended aerial maneuverability. It can be particularly useful on legends like Horizon, Octane, and Pathfinder but it can be used by any legend regardless of their movement kit.
One of the best ways to make tap strafing easier is by binding your W key to your mouse scroll wheel. It is strongly recommended to do so as using your W key on your keyboard can be a much more difficult way to tap strafe but it definitely is doable.
If you want to learn how to tap strafe, the best way to learn is through a simple guide. Here is a quick five-minute video that breaks down the mechanics of tap strafing and why you should use it:
Each time you tap the W (move forward) key it changes the vector of your movement in the Source Engine. It essentially means that you can get an added level of control over your movement when you are mid-air. You can slide jump and do a full 180-degree turn in some cases or even change your direction mid-air.
Tap strafing, super gliding, and wall bouncing are very useful for PC players. Unfortunately, a lot of the tap strafing techniques are not replicable on a controller. A lot of PC players feel that tap strafing gives players an advantage similar to what aim assist does for controller players. Players are divided on both aim assist and tap strafing being in the game, but it does not look like either of the mechanics are likely to be tweaked anytime soon.

Coast Guard Issues New Boating Regulation For New Year's Eve
Follow CBSMIAMI.COM: Facebook | Twitter
MIAMI (CBSMiami) – After spending 33 years manning a Miami-Dade County fireboat, retired captain Jack Garcia still lives for the ride.
Even the tragic loss of his son Andy in a boating accident on the 4th of July couldn't keep him off the water.
"It's in my blood. It was in my son's blood. I brought him up, he was on the water with me since before he could walk," Garcia told CBS4's Natalia Zea.
CLICK HERE To Watch Natalia Zea's Report
But as much as he loves being out on the bay, Garcia is staying on dry land this New Year's Eve.
"I wouldn't go out on the water that day," said Garcia.
Andy was one of four people killed in a boat collision after the fireworks show ended on the 4th.
It was similar to the chaotic scenes Garcia has seen during New Year's Eve working on the fireboat.
"It's almost like the derby day. As soon as the show's over you have hundreds of boats, all going in different directions. I can't stress how dangerous it is," said Garcia.
That's why for the first time, the Coast Guard is implementing a temporary speed zone on New Year's Eve in Biscayne Bay.
The speed zone slows down boaters on the bay, to a maximum of 15 knots, between the Julia Tuttle Causeway all the way south of Deering Bay Marina.
Any boater caught going over 15 knots could have their boat boarded be law enforcement and be cited.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and local police and fire agencies will also be out in force New Years Eve, stepping up security.
Garcia said the increased regulation and patrols are a step in the right direction, but he said one of the best ways to stay safe is to boat with an experienced operator and to be patient.
"Go out and have a safe time but do it in a safe manner. And at the end of the show don't be in a hurry to race back, there's no prize for getting to the dock first," said Garcia.
And above all he urges amateur boaters to pick another time to enjoy the bay, to hopefully prevent other families from feeling the kind of loss he has suffered.
"If you are not an experienced boater during the day, you are a danger to everybody on the water at night - trust me," said Garcia.

Late Quaternary volcanic basins are active landscapes from which detailed archives of past climate and seismic and volcanic activity can be obtained. A multidisciplinary study performed on a transect of sediment cores was used to reconstruct the depositional evolution of the high-elevation Laguna del Maule (LdM) (36
The Andes of central Chile (or southern Central Andes; SCA hereafter) are prone to drought, and future scenarios of global warming show them becoming drier as winter droughts are more recurrent
The SCA are also one of the most active volcanic and seismic zones on Earth due to the subduction of the Nazca plate underneath the South American plate
Regional context of LdM in the southern Central Andes of central Chile.
Here, we present a seismic survey and a multiproxy sediment core transect study from LdM to investigate depositional variability in a lake located in one of the most active volcanic fields in the world. Although intense volcanic and seismic activity poses a challenge to paleoenvironmental reconstructions, they also provide an opportunity to investigate the complex interplay of these factors in the lake evolution. Geochemical proxies are interpreted in terms of endogenic productivity and detrital input variation associated with climate variability and the influence of volcanic activity in the lake basin. Pollen proxies provide information about regional and local vegetation dynamics. The LdM lacustrine sedimentary sequence contains a detailed archive of volcanic history and exemplifies how volcanic activity can impact lake processes, not only in terms of tephra input but also on local geochemical and biological cycles. As the sequence spans the entire Holocene, the LdM record also provides one of the few opportunities to test previous hypotheses regarding the coupled atmosphere–ocean mechanisms that controlled the climate evolution of central Chile during the Holocene
The LdM volcanic field is part of the Southern Volcanic Zone (SVZ, 39–34

Modern vegetation surrounding LdM is dominated by sub-shrubs and cushion species corresponding to the high Andean shrubland belt – between 2000 and 2500 m a.s.l.
The LdM sedimentary basin was surveyed with an EdgeTech SB-424 sub-bottom multifrequency profiler using a frequency range of 2–10 kHz. Approximately 20 km of seismic reflection data were acquired in the northern areas of the basin with a denser grid network close to the coring sites. The data were processed and interpreted using the EdgeTech Discover SB 3200-XS software. The cores were linked to the seismic data with a depth–time conversion, assuming an acoustic velocity of 1500 m s
Sediment cores were transported to the IACT-CSIC laboratory in Granada, Spain, to measure physical properties (P-wave velocity, magnetic susceptibility, electric resistivity and gamma density) with a 1 cm resolution by a Geotek MSCL. The cores were then imaged with a Geotek Single Track Core Imaging System (MSCL-CIS) to 50
Sedimentary facies were defined and characterized based on macroscopic (color, bedding features, grain size, lithology and sedimentary textures) and microscopic (smear slides) criteria formulated by
Elemental geochemistry included total carbon (TC), total inorganic carbon (TIC), total organic carbon (TOC
An AVAATECH X-Ray Fluorescence II core scanner with an Rh X-ray tube from the University of Barcelona was used to obtain X-ray fluorescence (XRF) logs from the LEM11-3A, LEM11-3E and LEM11-3B cores at 4 mm resolution. Only elements with mean values higher than more than 1000 counts per second (cps) were used in the statistical analyses. We use a robust principal component analysis for dimensionality reduction (Fig. S8). Three element ratios have been calculated to describe changes in the redox conditions (
The chronology for the LdM sequence was obtained by
Radiocarbon dating of LdM sequence. We used only the macrophyte samples for the construction of age–depth model with a reservoir correction of 4700 a. The table shows the median age with reservoir effect corrected from the Bayesian age–depth model and uncertainties (lower and upper error).

The sedimentological features (gradational textures with basal layering and homogeneous at the top) and the homogeneous chemical composition are key criteria for establishing these layers as mass wasting deposits emplaced in the deeper parts of LdM. Seismic profiles (Fig.

At site 3, distinctive volcanic facies occur as lapilli (5L layers) and ash (18T layers) (Table Dark colors (T1, T2, T4, T5, T11 and T14) represent those with relatively high content of mafic minerals and low quartz and plagioclase Light colors (gray) (T3, T6, T7, T8, T9, T10, T12, T13, T15, T16, T17 and T18) represent those with relatively high glass content and
These ashes are laterally continuous throughout the northern and central areas of the basin, where we have a transect of cores. The presence of some depositional textures as normal grading and lamination and the absence of current-derived features are all indicative of fallout deposits from regional and local volcanic activity

Depositional and compositional characteristics of LdM volcanic facies.
In the upper part of the sequence, centimeter-thick, volcanic-rich, dark brown to gray homogeneous silts with gradational upper and lower limits occur. They are composed of a mixture of volcanic (glass, silicate crystals, mafic rocks) and organic (diatoms, macrophytes, amorphous) components. They are interpreted as reworked tephra material, deposited in the distal areas of the lake by fluvial and runoff processes, affecting the watershed and washing out the volcanic material after the eruptions.
Lapilli occur as thick (from 6 to 20 cm; see Fig.
Five seismic units have been defined based on the characteristics of seismic reflectors and correlated with lithostratigraphic units at sites 2 and 3 (Sect. S2.2). Seismic penetration reached up to 10 m in most areas, although only in the upper part can well-defined reflectors be traced all over the northern part of the basin (Fig.

The LdM sequence provides new insights on central Chilean paleoclimatic history, particularly about the nature of the Early Holocene, the timing of the mid-Holocene transition on a regional scale and the nature of the larger climate variability during the Late Holocene. In the following sections we will take into account the chronological uncertainties of the LdM age model when discussing the events in LdM and the paleoclimatic inferences.

Phase III likely spans the mid-Holocene (8–4 ka cal BP) and represents the period with the highest organic productivity in the lake. The lowest values in the pollen ratio occurred mainly around 7.5 and 5.0 ka cal BP, suggesting the maximum expansion of the lower vegetation belts and drier conditions particularly between ca. 7.0 and 6.0 ka cal BP, the driest period of the entire record. Taking into account all proxies analyzed, productivity started to decrease at ca. 6.0 ka cal BP reaching minimum values around 4.5–4.0 ka cal BP (Figs.

Overall, moisture availability in central Chile during the last ca. 4.0 kyr seems to have increased, paralleling summer insolation and seasonality, which reached their maximum in the Late Holocene
The LdM productivity record shows two main changes during the last millennium: (i) around 1300 CE, when a drop in organic bioproductivity and the onset of more frequent anoxic conditions occur, and (ii) around the late 19th century. The first period matches with changes in the southern Pacific, leading to a cooler and wetter climate with increased storminess due to ENSO intensification, which largely affected the Polynesian societies
The LdM sequence offers a continuous record of volcanic activity in the basin (Fig.
Volcanic activity in the LdM volcanic field during the Early Holocene was intense (Fig.
Lapilli L2 and L1 and ash T6 to T1 layers deposited during the last 4 kyr have petrographic and chemical characteristics, pointing to a silica-poor composition possibly associated with basaltic-andesitic magma (Fig. S7). Eruptive volcanism in LdM during the last 4 kyr issued from eruptive centers around the areas of Cari Launa (rsl:
The composite LdM sediment sequence includes distal lacustrine, volcanic and massive wasting deposits. Six lithostraphic units have been defined in the northern area of the basin and correlated with five seismic units. Lacustrine Turbidite LT2 (unit 6) is composed of massive black silt facies, whereas LT1 sediments (unit 4) are browner, coarser material with abundant macrophyte remains and also millimeter-size pumice clasts. Biogeochemical differences between LT1 and LT2 could imply different depositional processes (seismic and volcanic) and/or provenance. Although some discrepancies between our age model and the dating of volcanic episodes concerning the timing of some major hydrological events (blockage of the outlet by lava flows, highest lake level indicated by shorelines around the lake and drainage of the lake) remain, the composite LdM sequence spans the Holocene after the catastrophic drainage of the lake basin likely due to upstream erosion of the Maule River. Volcanic facies occur as lapilli (6 layers) and ash (23 layers). Their compositional features suggest a Late Holocene transition towards a more silica-rich magma composition. Despite the chronologic uncertainties, the LdM record indicates lower lake levels during the Early Holocene with millennial-scale bioproductivity changes consistent with lower summer insolation and increased aridity. Higher bioproductivity occurred during the mid-Holocene (from ca. 8.0 to 6.0 ka cal BP), synchronous with the phase of aridity described for the tropical and temperate latitudes of South America. During the Middle to Late Holocene, the LdM record indicates relatively higher lake levels, consistent with increased moisture after 4.0–3.0 ka cal BP, caused by the inception of the current ENSO–PDO-like dynamics in central Chile. The Little Ice Age shows a two-phase structure with cold/wet intervals between 1300 and 1450 CE and 1600 and 1850 CE, interrupted by a warmer climate between 1450 and 1600 CE. The LdM record also suggests that millennial-scale Holocene climate and water availability in central Chile were largely ruled by variations in the summer insolation. Complex interrelations between solar irradiance and dynamic changes in regional patterns of internal climate variability, such as the ENSO–PDO, SWW and the SPA, however, seem to exert major control on centennial to decadal scales.

Aastha Jain, current Barnard student, and I are both members of Girl Be Heard, a socially-conscious theatre company. She told me I seemed like a Barnard woman, little did I know how great of a compliment that was.
Barnard women are curious. While watching Prof. Janna Levin's TED Talk on the sound of the universe, I was intrigued by the concept of thinking of the universe as a movie with music. Levin asks several questions concerning multiverses. Her innovative way of questioning is one that consistently yields breakthroughs across all fields of study. With professors like Levin, I'll learn to question the world around me as she does.
Barnard women are uplifting. My favorite example of this is the Midnight Breakfast, a tradition where the administration serves students breakfast the day before finals. In Girl Be Heard, I found a support system of women who gave me enough confidence to last throughout high school. Barnard would give me a similarly overwhelming amount of encouragement, allowing me to achieve great feats in the various areas of study I'm interested in.
Barnard women are nearby. By staying in NYC, I'll be able to forge a relationship between the eager students of Girl Be Heard and the high-achieving women of Barnard. The problem-solving methods I learn will be smoothly implemented in the surrounding areas, as I have already established relationships with four schools in the tri-state area through The Queen Next Door.

The global epilepsy drugs market size is expected to reach USD 6.49 billion by 2030 according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report "Epilepsy Drugs Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Generation Type (First Generation, Second Generation, Third Generation, Others); By Route of Administration; By Anti-Epileptics Drugs Type; By Region; Segment Forecast, 2022 – 2030" gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
Around 50 million individuals have a contraction, making it perhaps the most widely recognized neurological sickness worldwide. Almost 80% of individuals with contractions live in low-and center pay nations. It is predicted that around 70% of the individuals are living with epilepsy and could live seizure-free if appropriately medicated. The risk of premature death in individuals with contractions depends multiple times higher than for everybody.
Have Questions? Request a sample or make an Inquiry before buying this report by clicking the link below: https://www.polarismarketresearch.com/industry-analysis/global-epilepsy-drugs-market/request-for-sample
Around 3/4 of individuals with contraction living in low-pay nations don't seek the treatment they need. In many regions of the world, individuals with contraction and their families experience the ill effects of shame and discrimination. These are some of the factors that are increasing the market demand for effective drugs and therapies for the treatment.
Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the conveyance of care to individuals with epilepsy (PWE) in numerous ways remembering impediments to in-person contact and limitations on neurophysiological systems. As per a review named "The Impact of COVID-19 on Epilepsy Care: A Survey of the American Epilepsy Society Membership," distributed in September 2020, 10% of respondents revealed a demolishing in seizure recurrence, while 5% detailed an improvement. Expanded pressure, lack of sleep, and restricted admittance to drug stores and prescriptions have all been connected to an expansion in seizure recurrence.
In June 2020, the FDA endorsed the Percept PC from Medtronic. Working with more customized treatment, this adjusted form permits specialists to treat and record electrical movement from deep in the brain. (The Percept PC is likewise endorsed for different circumstances, like Parkinson's illness and essential tremor.) Last year, the Yale Comprehensive Epilepsy Center turned into the principal contraction focus in the U.S. to embedding the gadget in a patient with contraction.

Java Runtime Options
Join the DZone community and get the full member experience.Join For Free
The Java runtime is a complex beast – and it has to be since it runs officially on seven platforms and unofficially on many more. Give this, it is normal that there are many knobs and dials to control how things function. The more well known ones are:
- -Xmx for the maximum heap size
- -client and -server for selecting the default set of parameters from classes of defaults
- -XX:MaxPermGen for controlling the permanent generation size
Other than these, it is (very) rarely the case that you need to change the defaults. However, thanks to Java being open source you can see the list of options, their default values and a short explanation directly from the source code. Currently there are almost 800 options in there!
An other way to see the options (but one which doesn't display the explanations unfortunately) is the following command:
java -XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions -XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions -XX:+PrintFlagsFinal -version
These options are well worth studying. Not for tweaking them (since there is a wealth of testing behind the defaults the extent of which would be very hard to replicate), but rather to understand the different functionalities offered by the JVM (for example why you might not see stacktraces in exceptions).

Goolgasian's overtime goal clinches it for La Salle
SOUTH KINGSTOWN — Through three periods it was abundantly clear that the East Bay co-op team wasn't quite ready to concede a state title to La Salle, a championship the Rams wanted back so badly. One overtime didn't change a thing.
With both goalies doing their thing, it was obvious it was going to take a perfect shot to win the RIIL Girls Hockey title.
In stepped Grayson Goolgasian, the regular-season-passer-turned-postseason-scorer. The sophomore took a pass from Krista Varrichione and one-timed the shot. The puck went past Ellee Kopecky's pads, inside the left pipe and found the back of the net with 3:09 left in the second OT, giving La Salle a 3-2 win and its first state title in three years.
"I'm still in shock. I can't believe this is happening," said Goolgasian, who scored twice in the game. "We're just all so happy we finally won."
The best-of-three series had been tied at a game apiece. The Rams had won the opener on Friday, 4-3, but the Eagles had roared back and tied it, 2-1, on Saturday.
The win on Monday night took so long because of the play of both goalies.
It was almost like Kopecky and La Salle's Kaitlyn Oatley were playing a game of H-O-R-S-E, trying to see who could make the bigger play.
Kopecky blinked first when Ariana DeSousa slipped a loose puck into the net 1:58 into the game. The two goals to Goolgasian came on perfect shots and Kopecky turned away 11 in overtime and none was an easy save.
"Elle was ridiculous the whole series," said East Bay coach Mike Cox after his sophomore goalie made 41 saves. "She was our MVP."
Oatley was just as good. East Bay's Maeve Harrington scored 1:59 into the second period to tie the game. With 1:36 left, the Eagles' Rose Flaherty put one in to send the game to OT, but Oatley didn't let it shake her in the extra periods.
She denied seven shots in the first extra period — including a breakaway by Katherine Barker one minute in. Oatley had four stops in the second overtime.
"It's like every goalie's mentality — you have to have amnesia and just worry about the next one," said Oatley, who finished with 30 saves. "When you let up a goal, you get a clean slate and have to worry about the next shot."
"We had full confidence in her that she'd come up with the big save when she needed to," La Salle coach Sean McNamara said.
Goolgasian came up with the big shot, which was a trend during the postseason. The sophomore scored seven goals in the regular season, then added five in the playoffs with four in the finals.
Tied at 1, Goolgasian slipped a shot inside the right post past Kopecky and that would have been her best shot of the tourney if it wasn't for the game-winner.
"Playoffs really kick up my momentum and it means something to get to a state championship and win a ring," Goolgasian said. "Last year we missed out on that and it was devastating. This year we wanted it."
"She's a playmaker, but that doesn't take away from the fact that she has a nose to put the puck in the net," McNamara said. "Some players are big-game players and she is a big-game player."
The Rams celebrated as one on the ice after, posed for pictures, dumped water on McNamara and enjoyed every second of the title. Losing to East Bay last year was on their minds and they spent as much time on the ice as the employees at the Boss Arena were going to let them.
"To work hard all season and to finally get this title, it's surreal," Oatley said. "I'm immensely proud of all the girls and how hard we worked all season and I'm proud to finally have it pay off at the end."
First period — LSA, Ariana DeSousa (Arianna Rodi, Anya Nichipor) 1:58. Penalty — EB, 1-2.
Second period — EB, Maeve Harrington (Madelyn Cox, Katherine Barker) 1:59; LSA, Grayson Goolgasian 11:12. Penalties — EB, 1-2; LSA, 1-2.
Third period — EB, Rose Flaherty (Sara Yee) 13:34. No penalties.
First overtime — No scoring. Penalty — LSA, 1-2.
Second overtime — LSA, Grayson Goolgasian (Krista Varrichione, Anya Nichipor). No penalties.
Saves — Kaitlyn Oatley, LSA, 30; Ellee Kopecky, EB, 41.

22 Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review 125 (2018)
From the Great Lakes to pristine northern streams, Wisconsin boasts a plentiful and valuable array of water resources. Yet water stress analyses show that this natural capital is deeply threatened in a variety of ways. The pressure results primarily from human activity, ranging from general overuse to colonization by anthropogenically introduced non-native species. Some of the greatest water quality problems, however, are caused by land use practices that lead to polluted runoff from farm fields and urban settings. The onset of climate change has the potential to further exacerbate all of this. These issues, coupled with the failure of existing law to effectively address them, confront regulators and policy makers with difficult and novel questions. As a result, the next century will demand innovative approaches to preserve the quality and quantity of Wisconsin's water resources for both public and private purposes.
The opening question is basic: Who bears responsibility to address these emerging problems? As an initial matter, under both statutory and common law, it is the state. Federal and state environmental laws vest it with that authority, to the extent of their coverage. The public trust doctrine, long established in our courts, likewise charges the state with protecting water resources for current and future generations of Wisconsin citizens to use for navigation, fishing, hunting, recreation, and scenic beauty. But the scope of the environmental laws is limited, and recent developments in the Wisconsin Legislature and court system have further curtailed the state's power. For example, the Wisconsin Supreme Court clarified that the public trust doctrine does not apply to land use practices, thereby limiting its usefulness as a water quality protection tool.
One approach to this dilemma is to recognize that federal and state government regulators, acting alone under current law, can no longer fully protect water quality. New laws that fill the gap seem unlikely, meaning that responsible engagement by local governments and private entities will be essential.
Professor Henry Smith has already proposed that the law should treat water much like intellectual property rights—as a "semicommons." Smith argues that exclusionary governance regimes are a poor fit for "fluid resources" and instead calls for hybrid systems that combine private and common elements of property. Smith's theory—at least as he has expressed it to date—relates primarily to private rights to use water under various legal systems currently in place. But a broader conceptualization is also useful. If private entities have a right to use water, they should also share a corresponding responsibility to maintain the resource. Water quality is important for public and private uses alike. This article will explore whether the semicommons approach could be expanded to justify a more inclusive approach to responsibility for water quality concerns in addition to private use rights. Innovative proposals along those lines could include involvement by local governments, including cities and counties; voluntary programs; and even private sector involvement in water quality preservation through increased grant or cost-sharing efforts, public educational campaigns, limited public-private partnerships, and other mechanisms. To be sure, this private role must come with safeguards that protect the resource and simultaneously encourage broad participation.

CNN president Jeff Zucker hit the roof when he saw evidence showing that Chris Cuomo used his journalistic connections to try to help his brother beat the sexual harassment scandal that forced him to resign as governor, The Post has learned.
"It was the straw that broke the camel's back," one CNN insider said Wednesday.
"Zucker loved Chris, but the e-mails and texts did it."
Another CNN source said of Cuomo, "His biggest crime was he lied to Zucker."
"He didn't own up to it," the source said.
"There's nothing worse than an e-mail or text. It's in writing."
Sources said Zucker's shock and anger over the revelations in documents released by state Attorney General Letitia James mean that the "Cuomo Prime Time" star is unlikely to keep his job, which pays him a reported $6 million a year.
CNN announced Tuesday evening that it had "indefinitely" suspended Cuomo, 51, "pending further evaluation" of thousands of pages of records from James' probe of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo
"I don't see how he survives this," a third source said of Chris Cuomo.
"The buzz inside CNN is it's over."
On Wednesday morning, Zucker briefly brought up Chris Cuomo's suspension during a daily news meeting with CNN staffers, The Washington Post reported.
"I felt it was the appropriate course of action," Zucker said.
"We will keep you posted on how we deal with programming going forward."
If Cuomo's suspension becomes permanent, CNN's Jake Tapper, who hosts "The Lead" from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays, appears to be the front-runner to replace him, sources said.
One source said Tapper — who publicly blasted Chris Cuomo's ethics in May, after The Washington Post revealed he took part in strategy sessions with his brother's aides and advisers — appeared to be gunning for the gig.
CNN's Don Lemon, who hosts the 10 p.m. show that follows "Cuomo Prime Time" is also considered a top contender, sources said, with one adding that chief media correspondent Brian Stelter "wants the job."
Meanwhile, during an appearance on CNN's "New Day" morning show, Stelter publicly predicted that Cuomo could return as early as next month.
Stelter said it was a "complicated situation" because despite widespread outrage, "a lot of viewers . . . love Chris Cuomo and they want to see him back on the air."
"I think the bottom line is, Cuomo is on the bench for now," he said.
"We're heading into a holiday season. I think it's possible he will be on the bench for several weeks. I think it's possible he'll be back in January."
Cuomo's suspension was reported on CNN by fellow host Anderson Cooper while sitting next to the network's scandal-scarred chief legal analyst, Jeffrey Toobin.
In October 2020, Toobin took a leave of absence from CNN after getting caught masturbating during an online meeting with staffers from The New Yorker magazine and the WNYC radio station.
Although The New Yorker suspended and later fired Toobin after 27 years as one of its marquee writers, CNN welcomed him back eight months later.
The documents released Monday by James — whose explosive, Aug. 3 sexual harassment report against Andrew Cuomo led him to resign a week later — showed that Chris Cuomo pressed his news industry "sources" for advance information about upcoming reports about his older brother, including by Pulitzer Prize-winner Ronan Farrow.
The younger Cuomo also tried to dig up dirt on at least one accuser, Anna Ruch, after she told The New York Times that Andrew Cuomo made inappropriate advances during a wedding reception at which she was photographed cringing as he held both sides of her face while looming over her.
"I have a lead on the wedding girl," Chris Cuomo texted his brother's top aide, Melissa DeRosa, on March 4, two days after the Times report.
He later testified during questioning by James' investigators that, "My friend had heard that maybe she had been put up to it."

At the eve of Premiere Vision, the first edition taking place in from 5 to 7 July 2022, Gilles Lasbordes, general manager of the show, comments about the upcoming event and the overall market situation.
What do you expect for the upcoming edition of Premiere Vision taking place for the first time in July, two months before its usual September dates?
We are happy as it will host 1,198 exhibitors for this edition, almost 300 more than in our previous edition. It's already positive feedback.
We had already received most of the samples for the show's trend areas in advance. This means that the companies could already organize themselves and produced their samples in time - it's another positive signs.
We notice that our exhibitors are not only ready with their high-quality and highly creative products, but also prepared to offer the right quantity. Such anticipation has been a challenge for them.
What about the attendance? Can you already forecast how many visitors will arrive in Paris?
It's hard to determine such quantities already, but we are sure we will see European visitors, but also buyers from Japan (even if not many as the majority of them are not allowed to travel yet), but we expect a significant return of visitors from Korea.
Obviously, it continues and brings with it a state of uncertainty, but more problems continue to define a complex situation for the overall apparel and textile industry because of difficulties with the transportation of ready goods, the cost of energy and raw materials. And insiders are obliged to find solutions on prices, calendars, while looking for good alternative materials including sustainable materials.
While there is a strong pressure in finding consistent amounts of organic cotton, recycled materials can represent another sustainable alternative to conventional raw materials.
Reshoring production in nearer areas than far Asian countries is also another alternative solution many brands and companies are starting to reconsider how to face the present situation. This is happening more frequently, for instance, to brands of the premium and luxury markets who are redefining their supply chain and starting to operate in countries like, for instance, Portugal and Italy.
Business insiders have to find negotiations, discuss and find solutions that can help them face this fast evolving situation in person and doing this during a physical show as Premiere Vision represents an appropriate solution for them.
The show has announced a much higher number of talks and seminars. Is this tied to the needs of the market?
It's time for making new decisions and follow the evolution for everyone's supply chain. For this, organizing such initiatives has the aim to offer additional tools to support the industry.
For this edition, we have also issued "The Fashion & Sustainability" white paper, a two-part document designed to shed light on the major sustainability issues facing the industry. We will also soon disclose the results of anew survey on consumers and their approach to sustainability. We did these new projects as responsibility is no longer only an option.
Furthermore, we are also offering more services during the show. At the entrance of hall 6 we have prepared two special desks meant to give further help to our visitors.
In addition to an information desk, we also host another desk was developed with emerging brands in mind, as it offers support and advice to help them better understand the show's offer and optimise their visit, according to their sourcing needs.
The show's fashion team also offers a free guided tour of the Eco-Innovation and Essentials Forums. This opportunity wants to help newcomers and lead them with a guided tour through the show's trend areas to decode the main evolutions of the season. It is limited to 15 people per visit and must be booked in advance. Tours are available in French, English, German and Italian.

Having hit records and being well-known don't always go hand in hand.
You've almost certainly heard the infectious cowbell, bass line and horns from "Low Rider" at a sports game or on television. You've likely heard the campy sing-along of "Why Can't We Be Friends?" many times. But if you hadn't read the headline on this story, would you have known these hits were made by the band War?
War is belatedly celebrating its 50th anniversary with a tour, including a stop at Spotlight 29 on Saturday, Nov. 6.
"Back in the day, a lot of people didn't identify War with our songs," said Lonnie Jordan, a founding member of War and the lead vocalist, during a recent phone interview. "They knew the songs, but they didn't know the band. It's crucial to me for people to come out and see this billboard outside that says 'War.' They hear all the songs, and I let them know that these are our songs. This is what put us here, including them. … This is how we all came together as one. Our fans and us, we're all one."
Jordan said that when the band started out, the members didn't even know how to read music.
"Our music is raw, and that's how people identify us," he said. "The guys back in the day who recorded the records with me work really raw. That's why if you spell raw backwards, you get 'War.'"
After 50 years of touring, Jordan said the thing that has changed the most has been "the faces."
"I can tell that those faces are grandchildren or children of the parents who saw us back in the late '60s, early '70s," Jordan said. "The younger ones who are curious, they Google and say, 'Wow, I thought that was George Lopez's song. I thought that was Cheech and Chong's song. Now I know who War is. Let me tell my parents, who really didn't know back in the day before we had the technology.' … We didn't have access to a lot of information back then, except for newspapers, and a lot of that information was not what you can get on Google, or Facebook, or Instagram, half-a-gram, or whatever."
Jordan said he has a profound appreciation for his audiences.
"I always say: 'What you need to do is play for the people, and when you play for the people, just remember they are your Rock and Roll Hall of Fans, and they will mirror back at you whatever you give them. Be happy, because this is what you love to do, and let them know it, and they'll give it all back to you,'" Jordan said. "I'm just really proud of my fans. They brought us here, and they could take us out. They're my plug. They keep the power going."
Turning 73 in November, Jordan sounds and moves like he's 23.
"I'm going 'til the wheels fall off," Jordan said. "The word 'end' is like the word 'retired.' Take the 're' off, and you get 'tired.' I don't want to go that route, because I love what I do too much, and it's about entertaining and making people happy. I feel like a minister, or a troubadour; it's important for me to make people happy through music, which is also a healing power. Like James Brown, I'm not gonna stop 'til I drop."
Jordan's mention of Brown led to a deep conversation about Brown's influence on War—and a story about how attending a James Brown show almost led to Jordan being arrested.
"I grew up in Compton, and it just so happened that James Brown came into town," Jordan said. "He was performing up in South Central L.A., which was also a good place to go, because there were a lot of clubs that we called the 'Chitlin' Circuit.' There was one really nice place that was called the 5-4 Ballroom, and James Brown performed there for a couple of nights. I begged my mother to go, but I was too young, and she wouldn't let me go—so I snuck out of the house, and I went anyway. I didn't want to come home. I didn't want to face my mother, so I ended up sleeping in uptown Compton, Compton Boulevard, at a burger stand. I fell asleep and woke up in the morning and saw all these unmarked cars and guys with suits on, and people taking my fingerprints, because someone broke into the burger stand, and they thought it was me. They thought that I was stupid enough to break in and then fall asleep. My fingerprints were on nothing, but they could have just accused me."
James Brown was the driving force that caused Jordan to want War to be different: "Because of James Brown, I felt I could be that.
"We brought our own sound to the table along with our engineer, Chris Huston, and producer, Jerry Goldstein, because they didn't know what to do with us, either. Chris left everything dry, and we just recorded as-is, and that's the way we just became raw—raw sound, raw music, raw lyrics, everything. I was influenced a lot by Latin music, pure jazz and gospel, because I came up in Compton playing in church. … How we came into being able to record our music was just to get creative: Don't read; don't write anything; just let it flow."
An undefinable genre and an open-ended approach to music have been both a blessing and a curse for Lonnie Jordan and War.
"Even though you could go into a music store, like Tower Records, and find us in so many different categories, we couldn't win any awards—Grammys and all that—because they didn't know where to categorize us," Jordan said. "They didn't know what genre we were, so they went with the bands whose genres they knew. That's OK, though, because the other side is that it keeps us working all the time. At this age, it's too late to start over. All we can do is just make good with what we have, and make people happy, because that's all that's important. All they want to do is be happy, have fun and reminisce—have their flashback. To a lot of people, we are definitely their 8-track flashback."
War will perform at 8 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 6, at Spotlight 29, 46200 Harrison Place, in Coachella. Tickets are $40 to $85. For tickets or more information, call 760-775-5566, or visit www.spotlight29.com.

$7.50 – $65.00
Harry has a problem. And while his sister's loan may be able to hold off the bookie's frustration for a week or so, what he really needs is an angel.
Arthur Keyser
2 men, 3 women
60 minute play
Every weekday morning, Harry waits for his sister, Rose in Fanny's Deli in the Lower East Side of New York City. She's always late, though the excuse may vary; he's always happy with any flavor of Danish, a coffee, and a lottery ticket. Once again, he owes his bookie money and Rose is helping him out with a loan, or, more likely, a gift. At this rate, getting out of his current situation is going to take divine intervention. Or at least an Angel.
This is a character study of five lives, each of which affects the lives of the others.
About the playwright: Arthur Keyser, who started writing plays at the age of 80, is an award-winning author of four full length plays, one forty-minute one act play, and twenty-four short plays…and counting! See his popular collection, Short Plays by the Dozen.

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday set up a committee to look into the demands of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU).
The union has been on strike since February over the revitalisation of public universities, payment of earned academic allowances and the deployment of the University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS) for payment of university lecturers' salaries, among others.
ASUU had on February 14, 2022, embarked on the strike to demand the re-negotiation of the 2009 FG-ASUU agreement; adoption of UTAS as a replacement for IPPIS as a payment platform; payment of salary arrears for academic staff; payment of Earned Academic Allowances (EAA); revitalisation funds for the universities; release of White Paper on Visitation Panels that concluded their assignment last year; and non-proliferation of state universities.
Amid the strike, the government had invoked the 'No work, no pay' policy, insisting that the lecturers would not be paid for the period they stayed away from work.
The lecturers had kicked against this as the strike lingered.
But at at meeting with Pro chancellors and Vice Chancellors in Abuja on Tuesday, Malam Adamu Adamu, Minister of Education, announced that the Federal Government had set up a committee to revisit the issues.
Adamu said the committee is made up of four Pro-Chancellors and four Vice Chancellors, while he is the chairman.
He said the committee is to look into the additional demands ASUU is making particularly the areas where there has not been consensus.
The minister said he would brief Buhari on the outcome of the meeting.
He noted that the committee will be looking at two major areas of contention, the 'No Work No Pay' and remuneration of university lecturers.
While he could not give the time frame for the committee to work, he said giving the atmosphere in the meeting, they are looking at days.
He however said they are not jettisoning the Briggs committee but that it is in continuation of what the committee did.
On if there will be a review on the government side on 'NO work No Pay,' he said: "There has been an appeal generally for the system to take a second look at that and that is what the committee will look into."
Earlier, the Minister said: "Government should not, in the guise of resolving current challenges, sow seeds for future disruptions."
"For me, the past two weeks have been a very dark period of personal anguish and internal turmoil. I used to deceive myself that in a climate of frankness, and with mutual goodwill, it will fall to my lot to bring an end to the incessant strikes in the education sector. This has not proved possible – or, at least, not as easy, quickly and straightforward, as I used to think," he said
The Minister however noted that the statement by ASUU President that the Union would no longer negotiate with the current Federal Government must be resisted.
He said: "Government and ASUU have no option than to continue talking, until our Universities have reopened their doors to students who, clearly, are the principal victims of the seemingly unending strikes. In the circumstances, therefore, all Councils and Senates of our Universities are enjoined to rise up to their responsibilities."
"We must, together, continue to work to restore our public universities to where they were in the 60s and 70s. As the most important officers in our university system, Pro Chancellors and Vice-Chancellors, must demonstrate more commitment to ending the ongoing strike," he added.
