Physics is a natural science involving the study of matter and its motion through space-time, along with related concepts such as energy and force. On a broader scale, it also involves the general analysis of nature, conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves.

Which lenders do this? Now that we CANNOT GET EXPERIAN FICO score, it seems that these particular lenders have the upper hand when giving us the loan. I mean, how do we know if I actually qualify for, say 5.9% auto loan but the lender said it's 9.9% because I have "low" score in Experian, but I don't even know what's the actual score.
If you know these lenders, let me know so I'llt ry to avoid them.

Oft-injured Cubs pitcher Mark Prior will miss the entire 2007 season after surgery on his right shoulder. The 26-year-old Prior had surgery Tuesday by noted orthopedist Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala. Prior has been beset by injuries since his first full season in the majors in 2003. Prior is 42-29 with a 3.51 ERA in the majors and finished third in NL Cy Young voting in 2003, when he 18-6 with a 4.24 ERA and struck out 245 in 211 1-3 innings. He was the overall No. 2 pick in the 2001 draft by the Cubs.
San Diego''s Jake Peavy fell one strike short of Tom Seaver''s major league record of 10 consecutive strikeouts and had 16 strikeouts through seven innings against Arizona on Wednesday night.

Peavy struck out the side in the second, third and fourth innings. San Diego''s previous record for consecutive strikeouts in a game was six, shared by four pitchers.

With no outs in the first inning, the San Francisco Giants slugger sent a 1-1 pitch from Randy Wolf of the Los Angeles Dodgers into right-center field for his seventh homer of the season.

A's activate Johnson from DL in move that makes Piazza backup catcher
Wed, Apr 25, 2007
By Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Oakland Athletics activated first baseman Dan Johnson from the 15-day disabled list on Wednesday and optioned catcher Adam Melhuse to Triple-A Sacramento.
The move leaves designated hitter Mike Piazza as the backup to starting catcher Jason Kendall. Piazza has played 1,629 games at catcher in his career, but manager Bob Geren said in spring training that he hoped not to use him there.
That might change with Milton Bradley and Mark Kotsay on the disabled list, and Nick Swisher and Bobby Kielty nursing injuries. The short-handed A's decided they needed Johnson's bat in the lineup and he started at first base Wednesday against the Seattle Mariners.
Johnson had a strong rookie season for Oakland in 2005, batting .275 with 15 homers and 58 RBIs in 109 games but struggled from the start last season. He went 0-for-27 at the start of last season and hit .234 overall, spending most of the second half in the minors.
Johnson opened the season on the disabled list with a torn labrum in his left hip. He stayed in Arizona for extended spring training before going to Sacramento for two games of a rehab assignment.
Melhuse appeared in only three games this year, going 1-for-6.

Sheets leaves game with strained right groin
Wed, Apr 25, 2007
By Associated Press
CHICAGO -- Milwaukee Brewers ace Ben Sheets left Wednesday's game against the Chicago Cubs after three innings because of a strained right groin.
In the bottom of the third, Sheets reached down to tag out Ryan Theriot at third base after the Cubs player tried to advance on an overthrow.
Sheets gave up four hits and no runs on a damp, 44-degree day at Wrigley Field. The start of the game was delayed 71 minutes by rain.
Sheets has now gone four starts without a victory. His lone win came in the April 2 season opener when he threw a two-hitter against the Dodgers.
Elmer Dessens replaced Sheets to start the bottom of the fourth.

Phils option Smith to minors
April 26th, 2007
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - The Philadelphia Phillies optioned pitcher Matt Smith to their Triple-A affiliate in Ottawa and recalled pitcher Fabio Castro on Thursday.
The 27-year-old Smith recorded a dismal 11.25 earned run average in nine games for the Phillies this season. He was acquired by Philadelphia last summer as part of the trade that sent Bobby Abreu and the late Cory Lidle to the New York Yankees.
Smith had a 2.08 ERA in 14 games with Philadelphia in 2006.
Castro, 22, was 2-0 with a 3.24 ERA in six appearances for Ottawa this season.

Astros' White goes on DL, replaced by Randolph
Thu, Apr 26, 2007
By Associated Press
PITTSBURGH -- Left-hander Stephen Randolph's contract was purchased by the Houston Astros from Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday, a day after reliever Rick White was injured warming up in the bullpen during a 16-inning game.
White, one of the Astros' most reliable relievers this season, strained a muscle in his left side while warming up to pitch the ninth inning of the 4-3 loss to Pittsburgh on Wednesday night. With White unavailable, Astros closer Dan Wheeler ended up pitching the ninth and 10th innings.
Randolph, 33, was 2-0 with an 0.84 ERA, striking out 18 and allowing six hits in 12 innings during five games at Round Rock. He was 10-6 with a 4.89 ERA in 95 appearances with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2003-04, including an 8-1 record in 2003.
The right-handed White is 1-0 with a 1.54 ERA in eight games.
White was one of two players placed on the disabled list after getting hurt in the PNC Park bullpens on Wednesday. Pirates catcher Humberto Cota injured his left shoulder while warming up relievers and was replaced on the 25-man roster Thursday by Ryan Doumit.

Hunter hit in mouth by pitch
Thu, Apr 26, 2007
By Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS -- Minnesota Twins star Torii Hunter was hit in the mouth by a pitch from Kansas City's Zack Greinke on Thursday and was taken to a hospital for further examination.
Leading off the bottom of the second inning, Hunter took a 2-2 fastball directly to the mouth. After gathering himself, he took a couple of steps toward Greinke.
Hunter then dropped to the turf near home plate as manager Ron Gardenhire and Twins medical staff ran onto the field.
A stunned-looking Hunter needed a towel to clean up the blood, and Greinke and Royals infielders came over to check on him. After a few minutes, Hunter walked off the field on his own power and received a standing ovation.
Hunter began the day with a 12-game hitting streak and was tied for the major league lead with 13 doubles. He was batting .315 and tied for the team leads with four home runs and 16 RBIs.

Coal And Natural Gas Even In Energy Production
redOrbit Staff & Wire Reports – Your Universe Online
For the first time since officials began keeping track of the numbers, US power plants fired by natural gas are producing approximately the same amount of electricity as those powered by coal, the Department of Energy's statistical branch announced on Friday.
The record-setting performance came in April, as both coal-fired plants and natural gas-fired plants provided 32% of the country's total generation, the Energy Information Association (EIA) announced in a July 6 report. Coal technically still outperformed natural gas, but only barely — 96.0 million megawatt hours versus 95.9 million megawatt hours.
Part of the reason for the trend is that natural gas prices as delivered to power plants were at their lowest in a decade, the EIA explained, according to USA Today's Wendy Koch.
In addition, coal's output decreased 19% between the first quarter of 2011 and the first quarter this year, due to lessened demand due to mild spring and winter conditions and new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) mandated pollution-control guidelines, she added.
"There are strong seasonal trends in the overall demand for electric power," the EIA said. "In April 2012, demand was low due to the mild spring weather. Also in April, natural gas prices as delivered to power plants were at a ten-year low. With warmer summer weather and increased electric demand for air conditioning, demand will increase, requiring increased output from both coal- and natural gas-fired generators."
"The mix of fuels used to generate electricity–and specifically the competition between natural gas and coal–is dependent on several factors"¦ decreasing coal share of generation, increasing coal stockpiles, rising coal exports, effect of natural gas prices, and natural gas consumption by sector," they added.
In related news, late last week the EIA also announced that the country's natural gas supplies are on the rise. According to the Associated Press, the amount of natural gas in storage increased by 39 billion cubic feet to 3.102 trillion cubic feet for the week ending June 29. That marked a 22.7% increase over the five-year average, they added.

FOX Sports Exclusive
Same faces challenge for wins weekly
Based off the performance of the teams of Brad Keselowski, Jimmie Johnson and Denny Hamlin during the season - and some of them from last year - we had some insight into how they would perform during the Chase for the Sprint Cup.
DOUBLE DUTYDover, Las Vegas - fast tracks brought out the best in drivers. Thankfully, we've got action from both.
I'm a little more surprised that we don't have one or two more doing better than they are right now.
Most notably, as good as defending champion Tony Stewart was the first part of the season, it seemed he once again would be right in the middle of this and giving everybody a fit and that's not been the case.
That's really been kind of a surprise for me.
As to that top trio in the standings, I have been surprised that Brad's been able to get two wins in three races. Especially the win at Dover. That race surprised me.
Fast paceBrad Keselowski combines talent and personality into a potent NASCAR mix. Check out his top 10 NASCAR accomplishments.
But they were good all through the race and I've always contended if you could run in the top five, then it's a short step to Victory Lane. And that's what they did – they finally got that car dialed in after that first stop, and then he hung in there really tough in and around the top-five area the rest of the day and what happened was, when the strategy worked out the way it did, they were the heroes of the day.
You've got to put yourself in that position.
Two other teams had done that, those of Jeff Gordon and Mark Martin. Obviously, Brad and Paul Wolfe had done their homework just a little bit better, they were just a little bit quicker and at the right place at the right time to take advantage of the strategy.

G-Eazy ft. Devon Baldwin - Mad
Artist: G-Eazy
Featuring: Devon Baldwin
Producer: G-Eazy
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 4.2 ( 12 votes )
Combining '50's Doo-Wop with modern-day trap music? G-Eazy must be absolutely Mad. Crazy as the concept may be, G-Eazy's latest single is pretty damn dope in practice. Here, the artist's own genre-blending boardwork serves as the canvas for bars dedicated to a woman who's got him doubting his sanity. Devon Baldwin guests, lending her breezy, unaffected vocals to the chorus. Currently roughly 70% completed, the album to which this record will be attached has yet to receive either a title or a drop drop. In the meantime, those who haven't already (which can't be a big number, since the project's been among our highest-downloaded and longest-charting for the last 365 days) can hear more on The Endless Summer, available here for free streaming and download.

Most CFO Act agencies have made budget requests to fund Digital Services teams.
The government should be providing the software to file taxes. In the past they provided the paper forms. Then they provided the electronic forms. It's way past time for them to provide the electronic ability to file completely free. The IRS saves a ton of money by not cluttering our public libraries with millions of boxes of paper copies. Unfortunately the government's savings comes at the taxpayer expense who purchase software and then pay to efile.
What S/W do you use to prepare your return? Does that S/W package allow one or more "free" electronic filings? Or do you use the IRS S/W package so you can't efile any other way? I used Turbotax for many years until about 2001 when they became pervasive about previous years' versions being reinstalled (legally, since you bought it) on new CPUs; I believe they allowed up to 6 free returns. I use TaxAct now; they allow 1 free return which I use for the return having the highest refund. I don't care if I have to mail in returns where I have to pay or where the refund is small. If the IRS goal is e-filing, they will lower prices to meet that goal or people won't e-file even if they use a S/W package.
AMEN. IRS "savings" are a pure costs shift to the individual taxpayers who e-file. This is just as offensive as a poll tax, pay to file your taxes or go to jail for not paying your taxes.
AMEN! e-Filing is a cost shift from the government to process tax return to each individual filer. Why should I pay for the "privilege" of paying my taxes. The IRS savings are my costs. I already paid those costs and don't appreciate paying them a second time.

That was not a successful lift because he could not straiten his arms all the way. He came close to a sucessful lift. That amount of weight for a man his size is very impressive. Broner is a very strong man. The amount of weight a boxer can bench press has very little or nothing to do with the speed or power of his punches. Ray Robinson or even Joe Louis probably could not have benched pressed anywhere near as much as Broner. I have seen guys at the gym I used to work out at that could bench press much more than Broner and could not punch hard at all. I know they could not punch hard because I saw them working the heavy bag with their best punches and they were pitiful. There is no connection between bench press ability and punching power in my opinion. I have never seen anyone make such a production out of lifting a weight before. He jumped up two or three times to make a mini speech before actually trying to lift the damn weight. The guy is a huge show off.

There is.
What you are talking about is people who bench, who have no boxing technique, and people with boxing technique, who don't bench press.
If you know how to box, have technique, and you bench, it can benefit your force.

I'd say the connection is that big punchers will most likely have a bigger punch.
Reverse the sentence and the statement is not true.

Dynamic benching will improve an athletes rate of force development, explosive power and speed. Max effort days will also improve general strength...trainers will know how to plug a proper lifting program into a fighters schedule to make him a better athlete.

Current officeholder
The 56th and current governor is Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat elected in 2010.
The state Constitution addresses the office of the governor in Article IV, the Executive Department.
Under Article IV, Section I:
The executive power shall be vested in the governor...
|Current Governors
|Gubernatorial Elections
|2015 • 2014 • 2013 • 2012 • 2011 • 2010
|Current Lt. Governors
|Lt. Governor Elections
|2015 • 2014 • 2013 • 2012 • 2011 • 2010
|Breaking news
Candidate for the governor's office must be:
- a citizen of the United States
- at least 30 years old
- a resident of New York for at least five years prior to the election
New York elects governors in the midterm elections, that is, even years that are not Presidential election years. For New York, 2006, 2010, 2014, and 2018 are all gubernatorial election years. Legally, the gubernatorial inauguration is always set for the first day in the January following an election. Thus, January 1, 2011 and January 1, 2015 are inaugural days.
Term limits
- See also: States with gubernatorial term limits
New York governors do not face any term limits.
Partisan composition
The chart below shows the partisan breakdown of New York State Governors from 1992-2013.
- See also: How gubernatorial vacancies are filled
Details of vacancy appointments are addressed under Article IV, Sections 5 and 6.
If a Governor-elect declines to accept the office, the Lieutenant Governor-elect shall take office as the Governor and serve the term. If the Governor-elect fails to qualify or is temporarily unable to take the oath, the Lieutenant Governor-elect serves as the Acting Governor until the elected Governor's disability is removed.
The Lieutenant Governor also ascends to the office whenever there is a temporary or permanent vacancy during a Governor's term.
In the event that the Governor dies, resigns, or is removed, then the Lieutenant Governor becomes Governor and serves the remainder of the term.
If the Governor is absent, impeached, or unable to discharge the office, the Lieutenant Governor becomes Acting Governor until the disability is removed or until the term expires.
If both offices are vacant, a special election shall be held at the next general election, provided it is not less than three months from the date both offices became vacant. The office of the lieutenant governor may never be elected without a governor also being elected. If the office of the lieutenant governor alone is vacant, the Senate President Pro Tem serves as the temporary Lieutenant Governor.
In such an instance, the Senate President Pro Tem shall serve as a Temporary Governor, followed by the Speaker of the Assembly.
The Governor charged with a number of responsibilities such as the preparation of the state's budget, execution and enforcement of the state of New York laws and Commander-in-Chief of New York's military and naval forces.
Other duties and privileges of the office include:
- Convening the Senate or the entire legislature for extraordinary session (§ 3)
- Giving periodic addresses to the legislature on the state of the state (§ 3)
- Granting reprieves, pardons, and commutations for all offenses except treason and impeachment (§ 4)
- Vetoing bills, including appropriations, subject to a super majority override of the legislature (§ 7)
Note: Ballotpedia's state executive officials project researches state official websites for information that describes the divisions (if any exist) of a state executive office. That information for the Governor of New York has not yet been added. After extensive research we were unable to identify any relevant information on state official websites. If you have any additional information about this office for inclusion on this section and/or page, please email us.
State budget
The budget for the Executive Chamber for the 2013 fiscal year is $13,578,000.[1]
Under Article IV, Section3, the governor's salary is legally fixed by a joint resolution of the Senate and Assembly.
In 2013, the governor's salary remained at $179,000. Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) voluntarily reduced his salary by 5 percent.[2]
In 2012, the Governor of New York was paid an estimated $179,000 according to the Council of State Governments.
Partisan balance 1992-2013
From 1992-2013, in New York there were Democratic governors in office for 10 years, including the last seven, while there were Republican governors in office for 12 years.
Across the country, there were 493 years of Democratic governors (44.82%) and 586 years of Republican governors (53.27%) from 1992-2013.
Over the course of the 22-year study, state governments became increasingly more partisan. At the outset of the study period (1992), 18 of the 49 states with partisan legislatures had single-party trifectas and 31 states had divided governments. In 2013, only 13 states have divided governments, while single-party trifectas held sway in 36 states, the most in the 22 years studied.
The chart below shows the partisan composition of the Office of the Governor of New York, the New York State Senate and the New York House of Representatives from 1992-2013.
Historical officeholders
Note: Ballotpedia's state executive officials project researches state official websites for chronological lists of historical officeholders. That information for the Governor of New York has not yet been added because the information was unavailable on the relevant state official websites, or we are currently in the process of formatting the list for this office. If you have any additional information about this office for inclusion on this section and/or page, please email us.

There were one or two other places to stay scattered around the town including Silayan Lodge which seemed to be a little rundown by the appearance of the building. Just before the road to Sunset Lodge i noticed Brooke's Point Pension House which seemed to be a reasonable choice but in my opinion you would be hard pressed to beat Sunset Lodge.

SUNSET LODGE: GREAT LOCATION, ECONOMIC and CLEAN
We arrived in Brooke's Point just before dark, passing a few pension houses and hotels before we checked this one out, just before the road ended by the sea. As we were only staying one night we decided to have a fan room with bathroom (500 pesos), which was in the rear of the compound with a nice balcony and had a view of the sea. The room was quite small and there was nowhere to hang or place our clothes, the bathroom was small too but at least the room was clean. The staff were friendly and it was pleasant to sit in the garden and watch the fishermen arrive on their boats. A/C accommodation was also available there. We manged to bring our motorbike inside the compound and there was a guard on duty all night. The Lodge was only a few minutes walk from the market and a few restaurants.

I like this because it is a nice size for sitting on and it has a few activities to do while Dicky Bird is there. Not the most boring swing and not the fanciest one but a nice one in between. Not very expensive. We have a couple of different swings that we change out about every couple of months.
Pros: like this
Cons: none

Two Starships and a Shuttle Readied
I searched the forum and the web for info on this but came up blank. I've also opened a ticket with Cryptic but have not yet had a response. Here is the issue:
My Klink character finished Temporal Ambassador during the first hours of the 3rd year even when lag was insane. For some reason when I moved to the Klingon Shipyards to ready my new ship it readied it and the ship above it in line. Now I have two starships and a shuttle readied. This wouldn't be a problem but when I launch a ship all the BOFF slots are empty in the tray and assigning them to stations in the Character Status Window (stations tab) doesn't put them in the tray.
I've tried to ready other ships and it will let me do so but the same issue above persists. I also thought about dismissing the new ship from Temporal Ambassador and running the mission again to get a replacement but I can't dismiss any readied ship either. I've tried a lot of experiments but nothing seems to fix this problem.
When Cryptic responds to my ticket I'll post that update here.
Has this happened to anyone else or does anyone else know how to fix this?
I have the same problem. Tho with me it replaced my shuttle with a duplicate of my ship. I deleted the duplicate and now I have 2 ships readied and a shuttle readied.
At least it's not just me. Sorry you got stuck with that issue too. Hopefully Cryptic will figure out a fix for us.
If you haven't opened a ticket on it yet do so - the more tickets they see on this issue the more of a priority it'll become.
It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have a tuffli. Otherwise I would have just deleted the captain and started over.
I can't delete my Klink and start over. He's max level, has a lot of top end gear and I really like playing him as he is.
My GM Ticket got a reply: they told me to open a bug ticket and essentially told me not hold my breath about getting it fixed. They also closed the GM ticket. I did as I was asked and opened a Bug Report Ticket.
I guess my Klink will be unplayable to me except for the DOFF system and ground STF's (which I don't have much of an interest in) until this gets addressed. I mentioned in the Bug Ticket that I'm not the only one dealing with this.
Thankfully I have three other toons to keep me amused until this gets repaired.
It looks like they are now addressing the issue. Good luck guys!
I found a temporary work around so that I can assign BOFF's to what ever ship I want readied despite the additional starship: rename the addtional starship so it is last in the list of craft. This way you can switch to which ever starship you like and be able to assign BOFF's with no problem.
Until the devs find a way to fix the bug this is a viable work around. Anyone stuck with this problem just rename your extra starship with a Z' or Zzz' in front so it moves to the end of the line and then you're fine.
Still nothing new. My Klink still has 2 starships and a shuttle readied. Anyone else still having this issue?
Several updates and fixes later: still an on-going issue for my Klink. :mad:

Marc Whitten, Xbox chief product officer, sat down with Xbox Live's Major Nelson this week to talk about Xbox One, and provided new details about the state of the platform, juicy hardware specs and more. You can hear a podcast of the conversation on Major Nelson's blog post. (Note that the interview begins approximately 20 minutes into the podcast.)
During the discussion Whitten points out that this is the time is when Xbox One evolves from specs and theory to reality, and in order to ensure the console is working flawlessly, the team has kicked off the Xbox One internal beta. Lucky Microsoft employees are now putting the new console through its paces and working closely with the development team to get everything ready for launch.
Whitten also talks about work the team is doing to maximize the power of Xbox One's hardware. For example, during product development, the team increased its GPU clock speed from 800 MHz to 853 MHz. In addition, since E3, a new graphics driver, internally referred to as the "mono driver," has been installed and is 100 percent optimized for Xbox One.

The shooting of unarmed African-American teenager Michael Brown by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri, and the spiralling protests that ensued, point to the racial tensions and economic disparities that the United States has struggled to address. Autopsy reports indicate that Brown was shot six times even as a parallel federal investigation by the FBI into civil rights violations is underway. With conflicting eyewitness accounts and allegations of bias roiling the Ferguson police department investigations, the US is seeing a replay of the Travyon Martin shooting where a neighbourhood watch volunteer, George Zimmerman, was acquitted of second-degree murder and manslaughter charges by a jury in 2013. Like Brown, Martin was also unarmed when he was killed. Faced with extreme anger in the African-American community, US President Barack Obama had then located the angst and the protests in the racial disparities in state and local laws and their discriminatory application to policing, drug possession and even death penalty. As is evident now, despite Obama lending his weight to the next generation of civil rights, legal and police reforms, little has changed.
Brown's killing reveals many facets that go beyond the disproportionate response from a police officer to a potential lawbreaker. For one, the "self-defence" defence, repeatedly employed by police officers and others accused of shooting unarmed African-American men, points to the dangers of the lax gun-control laws in a racially fraught society like the US. The incident exposed how 50 out of the 53 commissioned police officers in Ferguson, a city with 70 per cent African-American population, are white. With black people accounting for 86 per cent of all traffic stops and 92 per cent of searches and arrests, it is surprising that Ferguson city leaders failed to recognise the importance of larger representation of the community in the police. But the problem goes beyond Ferguson. Statistics reveal that for similar crimes, the prison sentences for black men tend to be 20 per cent longer. Of 2.3 million Americans in jail, one million are African-Americans. A stop-and-frisk programme of the New York police that empowered police to, rather arbitrarily, stop and frisk people revealed that over 80 per cent of those frisked were black or Hispanic. Not surprisingly, 88 per cent of those stopped were not charged with any crime. If anything, this reveals a racist method of profiling that provokes affected communities to adopt a confrontationist attitude towards policing.
Incidents like the Brown killing may not be isolated events. Acquittals of police officers or others accused of killing young African-American men in the past, as happened in the Rodney King and the Travyon Martin cases, lends a climate of impunity that sanctions more such acts. The militarisation of the police force, as against the approach of community policing, is equally to blame. Rather than act as crime-fighting tools, this strategy of police officers resorting to racial profiling, brute force and highly potent weapons, merits a rethink. With growing racial tensions, both perception and statistics point to an unacceptably high degree of such tactics being used against minorities. While race was the trigger for the 1992 Los Angeles riots and the 2011 London riots, the larger economic context was unemployment and lack of opportunities that led to rioters selectively targeting establishments belonging to other communities. In St. Louis County where Ferguson falls, nearly 47 per cent of black men were unemployed compared to just 16 per cent white men. Without tackling this economic disparity, racism and crime are feeding off each other.

Berenice Abbott (1898-1991)
The challenge for me has first been to see things as they are, whether a portrait, a city street, or a bouncing ball. In a word, I have tried to be objective. What I mean by objectivity is not the objectivity of a machine, but of a sensible human being with the mystery of personal selection at the heart of it. The second challenge has been to impose order onto the things seen and to supply the visual context and the intellectual framework – that to me is the art of photography.
—Berenice Abbott
At age seventy-seven Berenice Abbott thus explained her approach to making images. She learned photography in the 1920s in Paris, as a studio assistant of fellow American expatriate Man Ray. She soon opened her own portrait studio, where she photographed artists and intellectuals living in Paris, including James Joyce and Eugène Atget. After Atget's death, Abbott was instrumental in promoting his work by preserving his prints and negatives and arranging for publications and exhibitions of his photographs. She returned to the United States and began to photograph the architectural landscape of New York City, which resulted in the publication Changing New York. She taught at the New School for Social Research in New York from the 1930s until 1958. [getty.edu]

Coalition sues to halt electronic surveillance
Thursday - 7/18/2013, 12:52am EDT
AP National Writer
Environmental and human rights activists, church leaders and gun rights advocates found common ground on Tuesday, filing a lawsuit against the federal government to halt a vast National Security Agency electronic surveillance program.
The lawsuit was filed in federal court in San Francisco by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which is representing the unusually broad coalition of plaintiffs.
It seeks an injunction against the NSA, Justice Department, FBI and directors of the agencies, and challenges what the plaintiffs describe as an "illegal and unconstitutional program of dragnet electronic surveillance."
"Our goal in this case is to highlight one of the most important ways that the governments' bulk untargeted collection of telephone records is unconstitutional," said foundation Legal Director Cindy Cohn. "It violates the First Amendment right of association."
The suit followed disclosures from former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, who has been leaking details about a broad U.S. intelligence program to monitor Internet and telephone activity to ferret out terror plots.
Snowden, who has been charged with spying and theft of government property, has spent the past three weeks in the Moscow airport transit zone.
On Tuesday, he submitted a request for temporary asylum in Russia, his lawyer said, claiming he faces persecution from the U.S. government and could face torture or death.
NSA public affairs deferred comment on the Electronic Frontier Foundation lawsuit to the Justice Department. A Justice Department spokesman did not respond to a request for comment.
In the suit, the coalition of 19 groups representing about 900,000 people demands that the federal government return and destroy any telephone communications information in its possession. It also wants a jury trial on the allegations contained in the suit.
The plaintiffs fall across the political spectrum, including the First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles, the Council on American Islamic Relations Foundation, Greenpeace, Human Rights Watch, Students for Sensible Drug Policy and others.
Plaintiff Gene Hoffman, chairman of The Calguns Foundation, which advocates against gun control laws, said members are nervous about calling hotlines to ask if they are inadvertently violating any rules or regulations.
"It's a very serious concern that the sensitive conversation would be something the federal government or state government ... could access and realize what's going on," he said.
Dale Gieringer, who directs the California chapter of NORML, said the group joined the suit because members working to reform marijuana laws also have concerns about privacy.
"Because we are devoted to marijuana reform, many of our members have knowledge of activities that are illegal under federal law," Gieringer said.
The lawsuit states the federal government has "indiscriminately obtained, and stored the telephone communications information of millions of ordinary Americans as part of the Associational Tracking Program."
Last month, the American Civil Liberties Union filed a similar lawsuit in federal court in New York asking the government to stop the phone tracking program. Several other civil libertarian organizations have also filed legal actions, hoping to increase the odds of victory by taking cases to federal judges in different jurisdictions.
A legal expert said one challenge that plaintiffs face is proving they have actually been wiretapped or been a victim of surveillance.
"But it's now clear that virtually everyone's phone call records can be gathered in this metadata collection program, so I believe they do have standing," said University of Chicago law professor Geoffrey Stone.
Other legal issues include whether the surveillance constitutes a violation of the Fourth Amendment, which guards against unreasonable searches and seizures.
In addition, George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said the Obama administration will likely argue, as it has in the past, that the surveillance is protecting national security.
"It's distressing that until the Snowden disclosures, the administration insisted that any discussion of these surveillance programs would cause grave national security problems," Turley said. "What's fascinating is that after Snowden came forward, the administration didn't hesitate a second in discussing the surveillance in the public realm."
After Snowden's disclosures, Yahoo asked the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which reviews government requests to spy on individuals, to unseal a 2008 case that ordered the Silicon Valley firm to turn over customer data.
On Monday the court agreed, although the government is going to review the records first to see what material, if any, is classified and should be withheld.

Cyber Security and Information Assurance Webinar Sponsored by Concept Searching and PPC
Designing an Information Architecture to Support Cyber Security and Information Assurance Webinar June 18th
McLean, VA, US and Stevenage, UK (PRWEB) June 07, 2013
Concept Searching, a global leader in semantic metadata generation, auto-classification, and taxonomy management software, and developer of the Smart Content Framework, and PPC are sponsoring a webinar June 18th at 11:30am — 12:30pm EDT on Cyber Security and Information Assurance best practices and designing an information architecture to protect your organization. To join us, please click here to register.
In the ever-growing virtual environment known as cyberspace, cyber-attacks can result in great damage to individuals, companies, or governments. These attacks can include stealing an organization´s intellectual property, confiscating online bank accounts, creating and distributing viruses on other computers, posting confidential business information on the Internet and disrupting a country´s critical national infrastructure. Sensitive information exposures happen all the time. Most go unreported. Data, either stored in the cloud or within your four walls, is your responsibility. Without adequate information on the security and compliance profile of the data, including its ownership, access controls, audits and classification, protection of information can fall short of expectations and put sensitive data at risk.
In this webinar PPC and Concept Searching will discuss how you can use Concept Searching´s Smart Content Framework to design a solid Information Architecture which supports cyber security and information assurance in your organization. The session will illustrate why this information architecture will help you to secure the weakest links and to proactively identify data exposures before they happen.

FRANKFORT — Thirteen Kentucky museums will offer free admission to active military members and their families this summer as part of the Blue Star Museums initiative.
A collaboration of the Department of Defense, the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families and thousands of museums nationwide, the Blue Star Museum program was started five years ago as a military appreciation effort aimed at connecting military families to cultural resources in communities where they've moved or are based.
"The Blue Star Museum initiative is a special way for Kentucky military personnel to spend time with their friends or family in a unique setting," said Lori Meadows, arts council executive director. "The growing list of participating museums provides a chance for visitors to explore not only fine art but also music, science and local history in the Commonwealth."
Currently, participating Blue Star Museums in Kentucky are:
•Kentucky Museum, Bowling Green
•Eloise B. Houchens Center, Bowling Green
•Historic RailPark & Train Museum, Bowling Green
•Behringer-Crawford Museum, Covington
•Aviation Museum of Kentucky, Lexington

The official window for free admission at Blue Star Museums runs from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Museums that wish to participate in Blue Star Museums may contact email@example.com, or Wendy Clark at 202-682-5451. For questions regarding a specific museum's policy, visitors should contact the museum directly.
Blue Star Families is a national, nonpartisan, nonprofit network of military families from all ranks and services, including guard and reserve, with a mission to support, connect and empower military families.
The National Endowment for the Arts was established by Congress in 1965 as an independent agency of the federal government. To date, the NEA has awarded more than $4 billion to support artistic excellence, creativity and innovation for the benefit of individuals and communities. The NEA extends its work through partnerships with state arts agencies, local leaders, other federal agencies and the philanthropic sector.
The Kentucky Arts Council, the state arts agency, creates opportunities for Kentuckians to value, participate in and benefit from the arts. Kentucky Arts Council funding is provided by the Kentucky General Assembly and the National Endowment for the Arts.

No one retreating; cliff talks seem at standstill
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters as Obama went to Michigan that "the president believes that a deal is possible. It requires acceptance and acknowledgement in a concrete way by Republicans that the top 2 percent will see an increase in their rates."
In his remarks at the Daimler Detroit Diesel Plant, Obama said the Democrats would "make some tough spending cuts on things that we don't need" as part of his budget plans, although he didn't mention any of them by name.
Republicans have increasingly expressed frustration in recent days as they accuse Obama and the Democrats of failing to talk in specifics when it comes to spending cuts that many of their constituencies are likely to balk at.
In talks that ended in failure 18 months ago, according to aides in both political parties, Obama had tentatively agreed to a proposal to raise the age of Medicare eligibility from 65 to 67 beginning in a decade, and had also said he would accept a change to slow the annual cost-of-living increases that go to recipients of Social Security and other federal benefits.
This time, the two sides have advanced opening proposals that are short of specifics and reflect different priorities.
Obama's plan would raise $1.6 trillion in revenue over 10 years, in part by raising tax rates on incomes over $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples.
He has recommended $400 billion in spending cuts over a decade.
He also is seeking extension of the Social Security payroll tax cut due to expire on Jan. 1, a continuation in long-term unemployment benefits and steps to help hard-pressed homeowners and doctors who treat Medicare patients.
Boehner's plan, in addition to calling for $800 billion in new revenue, envisions $600 billion in savings over a decade from Medicare, Medicaid and other government health programs as well as $300 billion from other benefit programs and another $300 billion from other domestic programs.
It would trim annual increases in Social Security payments to beneficiaries, and it calls for gradually raising the eligibility age for Medicare from 65 to 67, beginning in a decade.
AP White House Correspondent Ben Feller in Redford, Mich., and Ken Thomas in Washington contributed to this report.

HOW TO AUTOCARD! When posting in a text box, type [c]Plains[/c] to make your post showPlains.
Are you making a casual mill deck? Please read.
Control is the key of a mill deck. You should free up your mana as much as possible so that you can respond to whatever your opponent is doing. Having some way to remove threats, both real and percieved, is necessary to survival. Real threats are those that are already on the field, and are something a simple unsummon or doom blade can remove. Percieved threats are those that aren't on the field, something a simple duress or counterspell can deal with. Controlling the board will allow your mill deck to continuously perform, if you use permanent style mill, that is. One-Shot Mill spells are something you should avoid. You can toss tome scours at your opponent until your hand runs out, but that isn't going to be enough to mill them to death. With 1-shot mill spells, like tome scour, you have to treat them like burn spells. Therefore, the only "good" 1-shot mill spells are sanity grinding (in the right deck) and mind funeral. Try to find more permanent styles of milling, like memory erosion, hedron crab, and curse of the bloody tome, so that you don't have to waste your mana each turn doing something that those permanents can do with a single mana/turn investment. Keeping your mana open allows you to respond with control elements. Traumatize Rant. Traumatize is a terrible card for a multitude of reasons. First, it costs 5 to cast, which is a large investment for a mill deck. Milling half a library sounds neat, but if you do the math, it really isn't that much. An average 60 card deck starts with drawing 7 cards. Then, barring any draw spells on their end, or ramp on yours, 5 turns will go by, where they draw 5 more cards, leaving 48 in the deck. Unless they had a deck with more than 60 cards, or you ramped it out, the most you'll ever mill with a single Traumatize on turn 5 is 24 cards. That's not too shabby, but hang on, there's more! If they drew any additional cards or if they were milled before turn 5, that number will be much lower. In addition, any more Traumatize's you draw will only mill less and less as the game goes on...which is the point of a mill deck. My whole point on Traumatize is the it is NOT worth the 5 mana investment, not even with haunting echoes. You can mill more than 24 before turn 5...which you can then cast the echoes. If you look at a mill deck like a burn deck, you'll notice that it takes longer to win with mill than with burn. For example, lightning bolt costs 1 and does 3 out of the 20 damage needed to win (barring any lifegain or damage prevention). For mill, that same investment of 1 would have to mill 9 cards out of an average 60 card deck to be the equivilent of lightning bolt. The problem is that there is no mill card that can do that...except hedron crab, over a period of time. The initial investment of 1 will pay off in 3 more land drops to make the crab equal to a bolt. However, the crab nets you more mill beyond those 3 land drops, making it better as the game draws on. Other cards, like curse of the bloody tome, are excellent ways of milling an opponent because the initial investment of is all you have to pay in order to put your opponent on a clock. All you have to do is stay alive, which is the true goal of a mill strategy. There are other ideas for mill decks that are specific to certain types of strategies. Combo mill decks can mill an entire player's library out from under them. Secondary mill strategies are usually tied to another strategy, like drowner of secrets in a merfolk deck, or halimar excavator in an ally deck. Milling can be done in certain decks that are able to ramp out enough mana to make use of the higher costing mill spells, like using 16 post to pay for X on sands of delirium or for ambassador laquatus. Multiplayer mill decks are even tougher to build, but can be done. Being a slower environment, it is easier to ramp in multiplayer, allowing for big X spells, like mind grind, to be useful. Consuming aberration is another star player. The more straightforward strategy is to use mesmeric orb and dreamborn muse while being the only deck at the table that can deal with it. There are always new strategies coming out with each set, so check gatherer for any new mill cards that you find to be the most fun for you! Now you can say that you haven't fallen into the trap that most new players fall into when they build their first mill deck!

Daybreak: Ho-Hum Homs
Plus Galliano convicted, tent protests tested, and more in the news
• Even as Syrian President Bashar Assad turned back an Arab League delegation, his forces killed at least 20 in the city of Homs. So, just another day in Syria. [LAT]
• As the tents fold on Rothschild Boulevard, the leaders of the Israeli social justice movement wonder what's next. [LAT]
• It was reported that the Palestinians had formally begun their statehood campaign. Then the leadership denied they had, saying instead that a letter to the U.N. secretary-general was part of a different, grassroots campaign. Good to know they have their things together. [Haaretz]
• Rep. Joe Walsh, a Tea Party Republican, plans to introduce a bill that would pledge American support for MK Danny Danon's bill for Israel to annex Jewish settlements in the West Bank. [Politico]
• Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, met with captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit's father and then called on Hamas to release Shalit "unconditionally." [Haaretz]
• The French court convicted former Dior designer John Galliano, and then sentenced him to a suspended fine of several thousand dollars. [Ynet]

Tablet is committed to bringing you the best, smartest, most enlightening and entertaining reporting and writing on Jewish life, all free of charge. We take pride in our community of readers, and are thrilled that you choose to engage with us in a way that is both thoughtful and thought-provoking. But the Internet, for all of its wonders, poses challenges to civilized and constructive discussion, allowing vocal—and, often, anonymous—minorities to drag it down with invective (and worse). Starting today, then, we are asking people who'd like to post comments on the site to pay a nominal fee—less a paywall than a gesture of your own commitment to the cause of great conversation. All proceeds go to helping us bring you the ambitious journalism that brought you here in the first place.
Readers can still interact with us free of charge via Facebook, Twitter, and our other social media channels, or write to us at email@example.com. Each week, we'll select the best letters and publish them in a new letters to the editor feature on the Scroll.
We hope this new largely symbolic measure will help us create a more pleasant and cultivated environment for all of our readers, and, as always, we thank you deeply for your support.
