Dalí Provides A Surrealist Shot In The Arm For A Fading Monterey Museum By Rachael Myrow • 1 hour ago Spanish Surrealist Salvador Dalí spent much of the 1940s in the U.S., avoiding World War II and its aftermath.

'The War At Home' Recounts The Tension Of Being A Military Spouse By editor • 1 hour ago Copyright 2016 Fresh Air. To see more, visit Fresh Air. 'The Dream Life Of Astronauts' Is A Journey To Emotional Deep Space By Maureen Corrigan • 1 hour ago The middle of summer is when the surprises in publishing turn up. I'm talking about those quietly commanding books that publishers tend to put out now, because fall and winter are focused on big books by established authors. Which brings us to The Dream Life of Astronauts, by Patrick Ryan, a very funny and touching collection of nine short stories that take place in the 1960s and '70s around Cape Canaveral, Fla. This Steel Town Voted For Brexit. Now Its Jobs Are In Jeopardy By Jim Zarroli • 1 hour ago When the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union last month, the seaside town of Port Talbot in Wales eagerly went along with the move. Brexit was approved by some 57 percent of the town's residents. Now some of them are wondering if they made the wrong decision. The June 23 Brexit vote has raised questions about the fate of the troubled Port Talbot Works, Britain's largest surviving steel plant — a huge, steam-belching facility that has long been the town's biggest employer. PHOTOS: Experimental Solar Plane Flies Over Egypt's Giza Pyramids By Merrit Kennedy • 1 hour ago Solar Impulse 2 has landed in Cairo, completing the penultimate leg of its attempt to circumnavigate the globe using only the power of the sun.

Again By Scott Horsley • 1 hour ago President Obama is challenging Americans to have an honest and open-hearted conversation about race and law enforcement. But even as he sits down at the White House with police and civil rights activists, Obama is mindful of the limits of that approach. "I've seen how inadequate words can be in bringing about lasting change," the president said Tuesday at a memorial service for five law officers killed last week in Dallas. "I've seen how inadequate my own words have been."

Cooper investigation, 45 years after the mysterious hijacker parachuted into the night with $200,000 in a briefcase, becoming an instant folk figure.

Cooper case in order to focus on other investigative priorities." The Madness Of Humanity: Nuclear Weapons And M.A.D. By Marcelo Gleiser • 1 hour ago This is the first in a series of essays concerning our collective future. The goal is to bring forth some of the main issues humanity faces today, as we move forward to uncertain times. In an effort to be as thorough as possible, we will consider two kinds of threats: those due to natural disasters and those that are man-made. The idea is to expose some of the dangers and possible mechanisms that have been proposed to deal with these issues. My intention is not to offer a detailed analysis for each threat — but to invite reflection and, hopefully, action.

In a recent column State Rep. Sandy Pasch argues Wisconsin Republicans have passed a "backwards budget." The article contains numerous inaccuracies and misleading statements; therefore it's important to set the record straight.
Let's start with the statement "it gives special favors to predatory payday loan shops."
Nope. It is not in Wisconsin's 2013-2014 biennial state budget, Act 20.
How about "It hands out a massive tax break targeted towards our wealthiest residents."
Let's look at the facts. The budget cuts the lowest income tax bracket by 0.2 percent. The three middle income tax brackets are combined into two and the rate for the middle groups is cut by an average of 0.34 percent. The highest tax bracket rate is only cut by 0.1 percent.
Does this sound like a tax break targeted toward our wealthiest residents?
On education, Rep. Pasch writes the state could have increased funding for public education by $275 per pupil.
In reality, over the two-year budget, the increase is $250 to $300 per pupil. In the latest data available, Wisconsin ranks in the upper third of states in per-pupil spending.
Rep. Pasch uses the term "extreme" to describe the current state budget six times in her column and states that "they (Republicans) chose to once again ignore the will of the people."
If the will of the people is so important, why did Assembly Democrats direct employees in the Legislative Reference Bureau to draft over 200 amendments to the budget and not introduce them? Don't the people have the right to know why hundreds of staff hours were wasted drafting amendments that weren't even brought forward?
Finally, Rep. Pasch complains that "Wisconsin remains dead last in the Midwest in job growth."
Then why did she and her colleagues in the state Legislature vote against the mining bill, which is projected to bring hundreds of family supporting jobs to a part of the state that really needs them while helping businesses in southeast Wisconsin that supply the mining industry?
In reality, the two budgets passed by Gov. Scott Walker and the legislature have put Wisconsin on more sound economic footing than we have enjoyed in a long time.
We have cut taxes, frozen University of Wisconsin System tuition, stabilized the Veterans Trust Fund and addressed a $3.6 billion budget shortfall left by the previous administration.
Jim Ott (R-Mequon) is a District 23 state representative.

Marijuana Blog
The Purps (Hybrid)
This scrumptious purple plant comes out of Mendocino County, in northern California, where it began as a clone-only plant among the medical marijuana community. The Purps high soars into a long-lasting purple haze of playful euphoria. It produces an active, awake feeling with a very low burnout factor.
Colorado Lawmakers Reject Organic Marijuana Labeling
Organic marijuana is becoming more and more popular. As I always say, the average cannabis consumer is becoming more knowledgeable and sophisticated every day, and knowing what one is consuming is becoming more important. For a long time knowing what was in a person's cannabis wasn't an option. You simply got what you got and hoped for the best. In legal states, those days are going away, if they haven't already.
Now in legal states consumers can purchase marijuana that has been tested to know what exactly is in the cannabis. The testing also determines what is not in the marijuana, specifically pesticides and other undesirable substances. But testing only tells a user what levels are in the cannabis, and not how the cannabis was grown. More and more consumers specifically want organic marijuana, similar to how more and more people are only eating organic foods.
But just as with organic foods, labeling marijuana as being truly organic is not as easy as some would think. The State of Colorado was trying to become the first state to come up with standard organic labeling for marijuana, but lawmakers failed to pass such a measure over perception concerns. Per Marijuana Business Daily:

Super Blue Dream (Hybrid)

State Department Says NIDA Marijuana Monopoly Is a Scam
Although the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration has maintained that it is necessary to restrict the cultivation of research marijuana to a single grower in order to stay in compliance with international drug laws, a new federal report indicates that Uncle Sam's leading drug warriors have been mistaken all along — the agency does, in fact, have the power to issue additional licenses without catching any heat from the United Nations.
In response to a recent inquiry by New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement at the U.S. Department of State says there is nothing legally standing in the way of the United States distributing additional licenses for the cultivation of marijuana for medicinal and scientific purposes.

What strain are you smoking on today?
It sure looks like marijuana legalization will make your weed a lot cheaper
One of the biggest questions surrounding marijuana legalization is whether it will make the drug much more affordable and accessible — and therefore increase use.
Well, some early data is coming out of Washington state, which legalized marijuana in 2012 and began sales in 2014. And it looks like, as drug policy experts long suggested, marijuana's price drops after legalization. Keith Humphreys of Stanford Universityexplained in the Washington Post:

Back to school… for everyone! Hilarious photos show shockingly misspelt signs
When we send our children off to school, we expect they'll be taught to the highest level by knowledgeable teachers.
But as these hilarious pictures show, even schools and colleges can fall victim to horrendous spelling mistakes.
This group of photographs shows a collection of spelling mishaps and inappropriate puns from across the U.S.
Embarrassing: This group of photographs shows that many schools and news organisations need to brush up on their spelling. Perhaps this school ought to have asked its Spelling Bee winners to write this sign
Shocking: It's to be hoped the pupils at this school receive a better education than the person who wrote this sign
Wrong: This sign at Colton High School suggests it may not be as committed to high standards as it likes to think
Hilarious: Although this sign for Georgia State Television does not contain any spelling mistakes, the phrase 'Students Turn Us On' may possibly need some altering
Error: Maybe the person who wrote this advert should use one of the learning software programs which they are trying to sell
Poor impression: Parents thinking of sending their child to Portage Community Education Center may look at other options after seeing this sign
As reported by the Huffington Post, as well as including a surprising number of schools, poor spelling is also found in TV and newspaper reports and even a road sign.
One of the most unfortunate mishaps is on a bright neon sign at Centennial Elementary School which is celebrating the winners of a spelling competition.
It reads: 'Congradulation Spelling Bee Winners'.
In an embarrassing gaffe for news organisation WNDU, a caption to one of its stories says: 'School two easy for kids'.
Poor: It is not only schools which make embarrassing gaffes, as this news caption for WNDU shows
Mistake: The person who wrote this caption for a news channel perhaps needs to consider a return to school
Dreadful: These young students no doubt saw the funny side of this horrendous error
Bad: Perhaps the person who wrote this sign also needs to open up a few books
Lazy: The mind of the signwriter who wrote this clearly needs a bit of its own exercise
Humorous: Of all the letters to miss out of this sign, the 'L' in 'public' was perhaps the worst
It's hoped that a member of staff at Portage Community Education Center didn't write the caption which said: 'Our teachers make a differance'.
While a sign saying 'Commited to High Standards' at Colton High School suggests otherwise.
But as well as misspellings, there are also phrases used which perhaps need a bit more consideration.
Terrible: It is to be hoped the person who wrote this sign did this as a joke
Need to start again: This entire sign is one complete disaster
Funny: Whoever wrote this sign may now wish they had spelled out 'students' in full
Daft: Even with the correct spelling staring them in the face, somebody managed to get the name of this school completely wrong
Changes needed: The State of Connecticut probably needs to re-think how this sign is worded
Not good: It is hardly a difficult word to spell, but somebody managed to get 'nation' completely wrong
A sign for Georgia State Television says: 'Students Turn Us On' while a sign for the State of Connecticut says: '"New" Hooker School.
A very unfortunate sign for Woombye State School says : 'Welcome to all STDS & Parents for 2011'.
Creative Kids Software will hope its products are more informed than the person who came up with the phrase for one of its adverts, which said: 'So Fun, They Won't Even Know Their Learning'.
Parents would be forgiven for getting a little bit concerned over this school's phrase
Foolish: Most children need new pens and books when going back to school, not knives
Misdirected: New lingerie is not really a key piece of clothing for a student returning to college
Lost: It's difficult to work out what this school was trying to do with this sign
Wrong market: Bottles of wine are not generally thought of as essential 'going back to school' products
Wrong place: It will be difficult to keep this area drugs free with a pharmacy nearby

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Choosing the right cloud for your workloads is a balancing act that can cost your organization time, money and aggravation - unless you get it right the first time. Economics, speed, performance, accessibility, administrative needs and security all play a vital role in dictating your approach to the cloud. Without knowing the right questions to ask, you could wind up paying for capacity you'll never need or underestimating the resources required to run your applications.

close to where i needed to be
they need lights in the parking lot at night very dark--my mother fell in the parking lot there during a pass stay
Comfortable and close enough to ECU to attend activities.
AC units to loud
Nice clean rooms, very friendly and helpful staff, great location with many restaurants within 10 minutes. My daughter just graduated from ECU and this has been my go-to hotel on all of my trips down from NY to visit her.
My single complaint is that the nice new flat screen TV's only have analog channels.
Close to my sisters house
No elevator and no room available on bottom floor which we really would have preferred since husband had problems walking.
Outside sitting area
Extremely loud music in the bar area
Our first room reeked of cigarette smoke
Yhe hotel itself is nice. The staff at the front desk was wonderful. While waiting for our room to get ready they gave my fiance and I complimentary drink cards. The bartender was wonderful also.
When my fiance, my 3 yr old and my 14 week old got to the room(junior suite), the floor wasn't even vaccumed. Found a straw wrapper from the child who was there before on the floor, they still had a pack and play in there, I guess suggesting for my 14 week old to sleep in it, though I already brought my own, the sheets were dirty and there were crackers all under the pack and play matress. It was never cleaned. ONE of the toilets still had feces marks from the people before. The furniture is not well kept. Needs to be updated for the price they ask for the Junior Suite. And this suite needed a blow dyer.
The hotel had a good location and the main parts were clean and well run. The manager was very nice about the dirty room and gave me credit.
My room was dirty on the floor, carpet dirty and when I dropped something onto the floor, I came back with other peoples trash under the dust ruffle. The bathroom had something nasty dripped on the floor.
My family and I stayed there for two days to attend my brother graduation from Residency, and we like this place lot: peaceful, cheaper price compare to other hotels within, friendly staffs, great location for us, nice breakfast, etc
Stayed two nights, no one cleaned our room... No clean towels... We had a room on the bottom floor , the room above us floor squeaked horribly whenever someone walked on it...would never stayed at this hotel again
The location was good.
I ended up staying up the street the second night at the holiday which was much cheaper and a nicer hotel. This Hampton inn was over priced for its situation.
Great proximity to standardized exam testing center, restaurants and health facilities.
The hotel is right by a very busy road and on the top floor sometimes the outside noise from the wind and the traffic can be disruptive.
Same value and service I've had in the past. Great hotel for the price. Most Marriotts are.
Everything was what I've come to expect friends Marriott great but the jacuzzi was a little dirty and not warm enough
I was traveling on business and, this hotel is located right off the road I was travelling on so it was easy off then, easy on in the morning. The room was very clean & inviting. Microwave & safe in the room. I got in at midnight and the clerk was very nice & professional. I also left very early so didn't have the opportunity to try their breakfast. I would definitely recommend & stay here again!!!
The beds were so comfortable, as were the pillows! I slept like a baby. The hot and delicious free breakfast was a great treat as well! Definitely recommend this location!
Loved everything!
Good Location and it was a nice room,very surprised The day shift staff was very friendly. I would stay there again if we My wife and I needed to stay in Greenville.
The night shift gentleman seem like he didn't want to be there when asked a question very short and somewhat rude. I didn't let one person ruin the experience for my Wife and I. Please recommend this to anyone just stay clear of the curly headed white male with a scruff look when he's working.
Hotel was much nicer than we we're expecting for the price, room came with a full kitchen, very comfortable bed, everything was very clean. Staff was super helpful/ knowledgeable.
It was just a pitstop, wish we could have stayed longer! We were headed to OBX, it was 2 hours away, otherwise we would have come back for another night.
It was a good value for the money. All of the employees were very helpful and friendly.
There was a delay checking in due to incorrect pricing from Kayak's partners. It was very difficult for Best Western employees to contact customer service to get the issues straightened out. I was and still am worried about being double charged. Also the breakfast could have been more appealing and offered more nutritious choices.
You receive all basic needs. Somewhat comfortable stay...my room did not have a refrigerator or microwave however. But it was decent for what you pay...t truth you already know...you get what you pay for. This is decent...no fridge or microwave.
Described above. No fridge or microwave. Maintenance needs to tighten up.
Absolutely nothing
Nothing was good about this place the first room they put me in the deadbolt lock was falling off. I could see outside. The second room had roaches and spiders crawling everywhere
Cheaper, seemed cleanly
Somewhat unprofessional, could use some updating and new beds
It was clean. The bed was comfortable
Water didn't drain in the tub. A/C didn't work well.

IRVING, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys today activated running
back Alonzo Coleman off their practice squad after Marion Barber
missed his fourth straight practice.
Barber has a dislocated right pinkie toe.
The move gives the Cowboys more depth at running back if Barber
can't play Sunday at Pittsburgh.
With Felix Jones already out for the season, the only running
back behind Barber was rookie Tashard Choice, who has 147 yards on
30 carries.
Coach Wade Phillips, meeting with reporters before practice
today, offered no update on Barber's status.
Coleman went undrafted out of Hampton in 2007. He's been on the
practice squad most of the past two seasons.
Cornerback Quincy Butler was cut to make room for Coleman.

Inn On The Beach, Ventura - Oxnard
By Fast The WORST Hotel I've Ever stayed!
This hotel is a revolting filthy & moldy old dump. it has ZERO redeeming qualities other than it's on the beach. it could be nice if someone actually invested a million otlr 2 in it. everything is broken, stained, old & really really gross. beware of this dump.
Inn On The Beach, Ventura - Oxnard
It was a very run down and filthy hotel, the ocean view was priceless but I will never stay again because it was so dirty.☹
Inn On The Beach, Ventura - Oxnard
Booked this room after reading good reviews about it. I dont know where those people stayed but not where I stayed- They are correct it is right on the beach no doubt- but the hotel looks like it has had no maintence since it was built- I didn't want to walk on the carpet without my shoes on- gross- bathroom so small it should have been called a closet- wallpaper falling off walls- light fixtures that didn't work- dust everywhere- and not to mention the homeless people that fight and yell all night long right outside your balcony door- very uneasy feeling neighborhood is not bad but the people yelling all night on the beach is scary - would not recommend this hotel to anyone
Inn On The Beach, Ventura - Oxnard
Great place to stay
Staff was really great. Very laid back place in a great town. Price for being on the beach was very good!!!
Inn On The Beach, Ventura - Oxnard
Beach Front!
Beach front! All rooms face the ocean and have a small balcony. The room had vintage furniture but the mattress was modern and comfortable. Several restaurants are within 1 block from the hotel.

Lakers on the run
EL SEGUNDO - Lakers coach Phil Jackson literally had his players on the run at the tail end of Monday's practice.
To officially close out the practice, the players had to line up at the free-throw line and with each player shooting one foul shot, the team overall had to make 75 percent of its shots.
That proved to be an act of futility. One player after another missed at the line, walking away and shaking their head in disgust.
Not only could it not be done but after at least four attempts - and four subsequent orders to run full-court sprints, Jackson dusted off one of his old-time condititioning-punishment tactics - the Hiawatha drill.
In that drill, the players line up single file and jog around the periphery of the court. When Jackson blows his whistle, the last person in line has to sprint to the head of the line. As he blows his whistle in rapid succession, whomever is last must sprint to the front.
Jackson had the team run the drill three times before he called an end and sent the exhausted players to the locker room. But he could have kept them out there all afternoon because Jordan Farmar missed a free throw that should have commenced another Hiawatha drill.

Here's a movie with visual invention and imagination up the wazoo. "Micmacs" is a whimsical fantasy about how a weapons manufacturer is set upon by a man with a bullet in his head and a motley crew of weirdos who live in a cave inside a junkyard. It may be a little too much for one meal.
I say this with reluctance, because this kind of visual energy is rarely found in the movies. I should be grateful for the change after several recent films in which the camera freezes in its tracks and stares stupefied at the action. I suppose I am. But the invention upstages the story without seeming necessary to it.
The director is Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Recall his magical "Amelie" (2001) and "A Very Long Engagement" (2004), and you'll understand its fancies. Recall his "City Of Lost Children" (1995), and you'll understand its problems. In an age when special effects can show us almost anything, there can come a tipping point when a movie is essentially only showing off. I'm not flatly against that, but in general, I like to delude myself that the story is in the foreground. It's a judgment call. You may enjoy "Micmacs" more than I did.
The story is about a sad-sack video store clerk named Bazil (Dany Boon). His father was killed by a land mine. As a child, opening a box of his father's effects, he finds the trademark of the land mine's manufacturer. Bazil grows up into a feckless young man who passes his time in the video store by reciting the dialogue of movies in sync with the playback. One day, after a series of shall we say improbable events, he's shot in the forehead. The doc flips a coin and decides to leave in the bullet (which was made by the same manufacturer as the land mine), even though Bazil could die at any moment.
Naturally, he's replaced at work. He's taken under the wing of a band of scavengers who live in a sort of Aladdin's Cave inside a mound of junk. This may sound sordid, but it's not. Imagine Steampunk Heaven. These people have the resources of a troupe of itinerant troubadours. They could start their own circus.
There's the contortionist named Elastic Girl (Julie Ferrier). The Guinness Book obsessed-type named Buster (Dominique Pinon). A master thief named Slammer (Jean-Pierre Marielle), perhaps because of where he's spent a lot of time. A woman, Calculator (Marie-Julie Baup), whose mind does mathematical wonders. A sage from the Congo (Omar Sy) who speaks in Fortune Cookie. And Mama Chow (Yolande Moreau), who feeds and mothers them. Oh, and a human cannonball.
These oddballs enlist in Bazil's cause so quickly, he hardly realizes he has a cause. Conspiring with him to destroy the enterprises of the munitions manufacturer, they zero in on the chief malefactor, Nicolas Thibault de Fenouillet (Andre Dussollier), and hatch schemes so improbably labyrinthine that Rube Goldberg would have advised them to dial down.
The production values of the film are splendid. Jeunet's camera is so liberated that "Micmacs" might as well be animated. But there's a lack of urgency. The characters seem defined by the requirements of the plot. Dany Boon, in the lead, seems to be mostly along for the ride. The villain de Fenouillet is the most compelling character, particularly because of his fondness for collecting spare parts from the cadavers of evil men.
I look at a film like this and must respect it for its ingenuity and love of detail. Then I remember "Amelie" and its heroine played by Audrey Tautou, and I understand what's wrong: There's nobody in the story who much makes us care.
This movie is trying to kill these women, but they endure.
