Does Eastern Europe have lessons for Brexit Britain?
What, if anything, can the experience of (research on) Eastern Europe say to us as we head towards Brexit? Lessons may lie above all in getting to grips with the tempo and nature of political change, its (un)predictability and likely channels.

Hollande's response to the Nice massacre will please only the far right
On Thursday night, for the third time since January 2015, President François Hollande was faced with a mass murder on French soil. An ashen-faced Hollande, almost looking like a broken man, appeared on television on Friday at 4am and declared: "This is undoubtedly a terrorist attack; the whole of France is under the threat of an Islamic terrorist attack".

Roman oratory and the EU referendum campaigns
In addition to marking a politically decisive moment in British history, the campaigns in advance of the referendum on the UK's membership in the EU were exciting objects of study for Classicists in terms of the political use of oratory.

Little more than a decade ago, 'Europe' represented an ideal and a model to the region of Central Europe, where the shadow of the former Iron Curtain was still a recent memory. Now, that same 'Europe' is the site of social and economic crisis on a scale unseen since World War Two. Does Central Europe, with its experience of fundamental social and economic change, offer lessons for the current crisis of 'Europe'?
Keynote speaker: Vice-Chancellor Erhard Busek (Chairman of the Institute for Danube Region and Central Europe): "What Central Europe contributes to the European Project"
Political Science panel: The Question of 'Europe'Not long ago few would have questioned that a priority for post-socialist countries in Central and East-Central Europe was to learn from the Western European countries of the EU zone how to become 'normal', modern European societies. Today, those founding EU countries are undergoing a level of social and economic upheaval unprecedented in recent memory. Does the conscious reflection on the identity of 'Europe' that the post-socialist societies of necessity undertook reveal new perspectives on the current identity crisis in the EU as a whole?
- Speakers: Prof. László Csaba, Dr. Roderick Parkes, Dr. Andraž Zidar
Economics panel: Economics and the Moral Society
While economics has always held tangible consequences for society at large, the study of macro-economic patterns and processes has traditionally been the reserve of highly trained specialists. At a time when economic crises have given rise to widespread social disturbances, however, the study of economics confronts ever more urgently moral or indeed philosophical questions regarding broader social structures. Have economic questions become the most important moral questions of today?
- Speakers: Mr. György Barcza, Prof. Jan Svejnar, Nataša Williams
Cultural History panel: Culture and the Public Sphere
In Central Europe 'the intellectual' has traditionally been a figure who reflects on social and political questions as much as cultural ones. Today it is increasingly difficult to separate the cultural from the public sphere as a whole. Does Central Europe present a model of the 'engaged intellectual' that has particular relevance for those societies that have traditionally drawn distinct boundaries between cultural, political, and economic discourse?
- Speakers: Prof. Balázs Mezei, Wojciech Przybylski
This event is organised by UCL SSEES and the Central European Embassies.

Fine quality sauerkraut
Hey Primal Friends!
I have been on some antibiotics for an infection I have, and I know that anitbiotics can really destroy your good bacteria. When complete, it will be about 1 month of pretty strong antibiotics. Looking to build my gut bacteria back to a better state (especially after I finish these out), anyone have recommendations for doing that? Foods, supplements, etc. And I would like to not break my bank account to do so, but all recommendations welcome.
Thank you in advance for your replies.
- Fellow Grok
Fine quality sauerkraut
Rotten meat/high meat is the best food to bring back gut flora NOTHING else comes close. Get a mason jar and open it up every few days, by the way the meat ofcorse shouldn't be previously frozen and fresh and raw and let it sit. Or you can just sit on a plate but become hard.
Sent from my iPod touch using Marks Daily Apple Forum
My evidence is with me and the people that do eat it. The reason the eskimos called it " high meat". Depression is almost always linked to low bacteria levels in the gut. So when people are depressed then they eat the rotten meat they report back feeling amazing and depressed free, resulting in a increase in gut flora.

Another good one not as good but good. Raw unpasturized cow kefir from raw milk. Must be bought from farm tho because cow kefir in store has been pasturized
Sent from my iPod touch using Marks Daily Apple Forum
A mix of fermented foods, yogurt, kefir, organic veggies, some occasional probiotic pills, resistant starches. Basically a healthy diet of unprocessed foods. I'd probably cook the beef however! You can probably get loads of rotted beef cheap at the supermarket just as it hits the dumpster, free even!
Raw unpasturized cow kefir from raw milk.
I'll pass on the high meat. I've read of the successes but in our current environment I wouldn't trust it. Perhaps in another place and time.
I'd load up on copious quantities of fermented vegetables and if the budget could afford it, some soil based (SBO) probiotics. A cheap, but somewhat risky solution for the SBO's, is to literally ingest a teaspoon of dirt collected from around the deep roots of plants, known to be pesticide and chemical free. Stir it into clean water and drink, leaving any gritty substances behind. Otherwise, stick with the fermented veggies and plenty of prebiotics like unmodified potato starch.

Comfortable room. Quiet area.
Lovely home inside, comfy and clean. Lots of room. Extras were a nice touch. The linen was soft and smelt nice.
I had a problem getting in a few times because people kept locking from the inside in the evenings but rang the bell and all was fine.
The outside of the property is being renovated but no workmen luckily.
Outside of the front door, the hallway and outside could do with some spring cleaning, i can see this is the neighbours fault but otherwise i enjoyed my stay.
the accomodation we have visited was, clean but dated. The wash room was clean but some parts of the floor was broken up, that will be dangerous for our feets.
EN: The apartment is clean, close to the centre and in a quiet area.
Perfect accommodation to visit London!

Video: An Unconventional Way to Start a Soccer Game
Kick-offs in soccer are fairly standard.
This past Saturday, however, German association club RasenBallsport Leipzig e. V. created a new approach when they lined up eight players to dash into the box against 3. Liga opponents Stuttgart II.
The risky move worked like a charm as the long ball was skimmed on to Mattias Morys, who crossed to the onrushing Daniel Frahn to finish from five yards out.
The total time for the entire play? Nine seconds.
Leipzig went on to win the match, 3-1, proving once again that Red Bull gives you wiiings.

HUD expands multi-lingual website to help familes who are Limited English Proficient to gain access to HUD programs
Wednesday, June 17, 2009
- Organization: HUD
- Link: http://www.hud.gov
New website offers translation of HUD Vital Documents for Free
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) today unveiled an enhanced website to promote equal access to housing programs by providing important HUD documents in 12 different languages. HUD's expanded Limited English Proficiency (LEP) website features factsheets, housing brochures and other forms in Amharic, Arabic, Armenian, Cambodian, Chinese, Farsi, French, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese, in addition to English.
"When buying or renting a home, obtaining important housing information should not depend on how well people speak English," said John Trasviña, HUD's Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity. "This website greatly expands HUD's ability to offer all families access to our programs and services, regardless of the language they speak."
The HUD site offers brochures on fair housing, model lease agreements, information about HUD's Housing Choice Voucher Program (Section 8), and a Resident Rights and Responsibilities brochure in various languages. These documents, http://www.hud.gov/offices/fheo/promotingfh/lep.cfm, are free to the public.
The LEP website is in response to Executive Order 13166, which requires all federal, local and state agencies that receive federal funding to ensure that people with limited language skills have meaningful access to government programs and services.
"The importance of homeownership and fair housing means HUD must be a leader in this area. HUD will continue our efforts to serve all persons by translating additional vital documents and posting them on the website," said Trasviña.
FHEO and its partners in the Fair Housing Assistance Program investigate approximately 10,500 housing discrimination complaints annually.

The Best Music For Burning The Most Fat
Adding music to any routine can not only keep you motivated, it can lift your spirits and help keep you focused on the activity at hand. But can it really improve your workout?
Celebrate great health! LIKE BlackDoctor.org on Facebook!

Fast music, especially, provides us more information to process, which may distract someone from the physical sensations of fatigue and block signals to stop exercising.
But not all fast songs do that.
If the music is too fast, it isn't likely to enhance performance or endurance, says Costas Karageorghis, PhD, deputy head of sports psychology at Brunel University. He has studied the effects of music on exercise for more than 20 years.

Selling Puts As A Substitute For Fixed Income 17 commentsJan 9, 2014 9:13 AM
Recently I looked at the U.S. High Volatility Put Write (NYSEARCA:HVPW) ETF, attracted by an article that touted it as an investment for "prudent income investors." The prospectus is somewhat less inviting, describing it as a "speculative trading instrument." But it still raises the question, can selling cash-secured puts substitute for fixed income?
HVPW writes puts on the twenty large cap names with the highest volatility, 15% out of the money, with a two month duration. The puts are secured with treasury notes. The distribution rate is aspirational, at 9%. No estimate of maximum losses is provided, although the prospectus warns about possible complete loss of investment capital.
I looked at this idea several years ago from the point of view of a dividend-oriented investor, and studied the likely outcome of a portfolio that sold puts on dividend stalwarts 10% out of the money, with a three to six month duration. I estimated that such a portfolio would produce 4.5% annually, with very infrequent drawdowns maxing out around 18%. Of course a dividend-oriented investor would not be too upset, being forced to buy at a market bottom.
I also simulated the use of less than full cash security, resulting in proportionately higher returns and drawdowns.
Implications for Synthetic Dividend Growth Portfolio
The Synthetic DGI Portfolio has been working as expected, with one exception: the calls sold gave away the upside on a larger number of positions than I was looking for. Briefly, the results of the twenty names selected were more dispersed than I thought they would be.
Another issue, what to do with the cash reserve, was resolved by buying vertical calls spreads, both legs in the money, on stocks that were selected for a combination of volatility and margin of security. That's been working well, returning 12.8% while maintaining cash sufficient to support the exercise of all long calls. This is a cowardly way of selling puts, in that such positions are easier to deal with in declining markets.
Since the LEAPS which are the starting point for the Synthetic DGI Portfolio are at strikes averaging 80% of the share price, leverage starts at 5:1. Selling covered calls at strikes and expirations that provide income equal to the dividends, effective leverage to the upside is reduced because of the upside that is not realized.
After reviewing this, I plan to greatly reduce the sale of covered calls, and replace the income by either the sale of cash-secured puts or the vertical call spread strategy described above. Theoretically, the 5:1 leverage will replicate capital gains and losses on the underlying. Meanwhile, using a portion of the 80% remaining cash to secure the sale of out of the money puts (or the equivalent), the income received will replace the dividends forgone by using the LEAPS as substitutes for share ownership.
Incidentally, the 12.8% on the vertical call spread strategy includes stepping in the way of a sharp sell-off in Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO), precipitated by horrendous guidance for the current quarter.
Under normal market conditions, this portfolio would replicate the results of owning the shares, other than the taxable nature of the income received. There are defensive advantages in a declining market, in that the LEAPS can be rolled down for less than the difference between the two strikes, resulting in a profit on the roll, or a reduced loss when compared to owning the shares.
The difference lies in the returns to be received from the cash held aside. In more normal markets the money could be placed in Treasuries or corporates at some reasonable rate of return. With rates where they are, using the money to support the sale of puts seems like a viable alternative.
Substituting Vertical Calls Spreads for the Sale of Puts
Please consider the following trade on Corning (NYSE:GLW).
This is effectively the sale of a put, in that I bear the risk that the stock will be below $17 at expiration. GLW has a very strong balance sheet and a history of increasing the dividend. I would most likely exercise the $13 call at expiration, for a net cost of $15.67 per share.
In the event something funky happens, if GLW gets down to the $13 area before expiration, time value will increase and cushion the loss. At that point, the position can be rolled down to pocket the time premium, or closed for proceeds of about 70 cents. Note the $9,100 I had available to exercise the call is intact, plus whatever salvage I get from closing the position. The downside is defined here, unlike with the sale of a put, where it theoretically extends to zero.
Leverage Rears Its Lovely Head
Note that the plan here is to have all puts (or equivalents) fully cash secured. The way I operate, it's not unlikely that at some point studied carelessness will result in positions that are less than fully cash secured, in the interest of improving returns.
I had hoped to make $100,000 behave like $250,000. As a practical matter, the way I'm doing it I need to use about $160,000.
What About All Those Covered Calls?
After concluding that the sale of covered calls hurt my situation last year, I don't intend to buy back those I have already sold that expire this year. The thinking is, now would not be a good time to correct the situation. First one thing works, then another.
As the situation stands, I'm controlling $270,000 worth of dividend paying shares, well-known names. Total account value is about $175,000, with $110,000 in cash. I expect to earn 9% on the cash, which is 3.9% of the value of shares controlled and exceeds the dividend income that the shares would generate if I owned them.
As such, the covered calls aren't necessary to achieving the income objective, and are interfering with the capital appreciation objective. With the market near record highs, and shuffling back and forth nervously so far in January, I plan to leave the calls out there, but will discontinue rolling them. In the even of a market sell-off, they can be bought back at a profit.

Me too. Something like this is work to write it up, then there is very little audience and commentary on the instablog. Cash secured puts is a legitimate and common strategy for dividend-oriented investors, who look at it as getting paid to place a limit order.
Tom, i've been retired for 14 years now and selling naked puts has been part of my income strategy more than ever. i started selling naked puts in the '80s and fine tuned my approach as i went along.
now i bring in about $ 7500.00 per month.
DE and IBM are perfect candidates. i buy the stock and then sell puts underneath it. DE 65's, 70's and 75's and IBM 145's and 150's.
i sell the puts only on things i want to own and at a price i would be happy to own them. if the stock is attractively priced i establish a 50% position and keep selling the puts.
over 25 years, only 1 in 10 puts have been exercised. its been a big plus for me and if used in a disciplined manner, it can be very rewarding.
thanks for your thoughts,
loonsong, thanks for your comment. Selling puts the way you're doing it is an effective strategy, basically you're getting paid to place a limit order on something you would like to buy (at the right price).
i am not too knowledgeable on tech, so i keep it simple: puts on csco, intc, msft, and swks. i generally use a 20% less than market strike and i try to stick with dividend payers with real earnings.
the only two insurance cos. i sell puts on are CB and TRV. same rules, and i don't force a sale if nothing attractive is available.
also, when puts get down to a quarter or i've made 80% or more, i cover early and book the trade.
also, when something gets creamed, like VMW did last year, i take a look. but i don't make a move until i've done the intrinsic value work and feel positive at the strike i am selling. BBBY's drop today is one i'll look at
with an eye to selling a 55 put in jan 2015. PE there might be 10.50 and they buyback. it pays the bills.
have a great day,
Robin Heiderscheit, contributorComments (3291) | + Follow Following - UnfollowTom, I think it is hard to make an argument that the market currently is underestimating future historical volatility in blue chips IF you are selling that volatility more than a couple of months out. OTOH it appears your strategy is to sell the front few months, which is probably okay, even though implied volatility is so low. At least that is Bill Luby's (whom you should follow) contention.
Robin, I follow Bill Luby but haven't been paying much attention, just sort of running along with the same strategies I've used for years.
Tom - I like the strategy of selling puts and have used it, but am wary at this point since volatility is so low. At this point I'm keeping the dates closer (versus selling puts a year out one year ago) and am largely only employing it for the more defensive sectors. If/when we ever get a decent correction of close to 10% I'll be more aggressive.
Tom - Thanks for the article, well thought out and expressed. Capping the downside and earning income while providing a lower entry point for something you would like to own is what options are all about. Low volatility challenges our creativity using the options tool. In this market, where at least some qualified observers believe we've come to fuller value, I've been buying long put diagonals on companies rated by both Value Line and Morningstar to be overvalued on a number of criteria. The short put compensates for the time value of the long. Since portfolios by their nature are mostly long a percentage of these provides something of a hedge plus adding income through time decay. At a time where tech may be vulnerable I guess I'm making by bets in a different direction.
Valueplay, I didn't submit this as a regular article because SA is not accepting articles on options. They gladly accept articles on ETFs, so in retrospect I could have made the content more about HVPW than I did. I'm coming at it from my interest in options.
A number of commenters mention the extremely low volatility that we're experiencing right now, and that does raise the question whether selling options is a good source of income, for the fact it's hard to get enough premium.
I tend to think of the time value of LEAPS as interest on a notional loan of the amount saved vs. buying the shares. So if an in the money LEAP with a strike of 70 had $1.50 in time value for one year, I would think of it as 2% interest and a cost of staying long the stock.

Hightower denounces 'corporate looting'
By Mark Almberg
CHICAGO - 'We need outspoken advocacy for the people's interests and the common good more than ever before,' said Jim Hightower, particularly in the face of new threats to civil liberties and an unseemly, corporate, money-grabbing 'looting spree' in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attack.
Hightower, a former Agricultural Commissioner of the state of Texas and now a syndicated writer and radio personality, was they keynote speaker at the Third Annual Suburban Civic Fair sponsored by the Citizen Advocacy Center at Harper College in Palatine, Ill., a Chicago suburb.
'Even before Sept. 11 and the horrendous terrorist attack, our freedoms and our political power were imperiled by the rise of a moneyed aristocracy within our nation and a global moneyed elite that is striving for empire,' he said.
'Now, in the name of a war against terrorism, this same elite is going after the very liberties and ideals that we count on if we're truly going to have a democracy,' he said. 'We're told that we must surrender our freedoms in order to have security, and they come forth with new methods of invasion of privacy, wiretapping, Internet surveillance, profiling of our citizens.'
Hightower denounced such measures as contrary to the original ideals of the framers of the U.S. Constitution.
He said that the new Office of Homeland Security ('Why does that name not make me feel more secure?' he quipped) has been established by executive fiat and is not subject to Congressional oversight. 'This office is established not only within the White House, but also in the Pentagon, authorizing our military, for the first time, to have direct authority over domestic affairs.'
Hightower's indignation at the drive to curb civil liberties was matched only by his denunciation of corporate chieftains who are taking financial advantage of the current situation in the country.
'The corporate lobbyists are rampaging through the Congress, on a looting spree, shamefully hiding behind the flag in this time of trauma in our country,' he said. 'They're trying to grab everything they can get a hold of that it wasn't possible for them to get before,' he said.
'Look at Star Wars,' he said. 'Do you know that the very first money that Congress appropriated after the Sept. 11 attack wasn't relief for New York, but was for $8.3 billion for Star Wars? How's Star Wars going to help us combat terrorists with box-cutters?'
Hightower also denounced 'still more tax giveaways for the corporations and the wealthy, efforts to reduce the capital gains tax, and huge bailouts for the CEOs and corporations.'
At the same time, he said, the government and these corporations are 'leaving the workers-hundreds of thousands of whom have been laid off in the past month - out in the cold.'
He also criticized corporate and U.S. government efforts to rush through Fast Track legislation - what he called 'the railroading authority that allows the president to ramrod through Congress the global, job-sucking trade scams like NAFTA, the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) and the WTO' - as an act of supreme political cynicism.
'And while all of this is going on we're told, 'don't dissent,' 'be patriotic.' Some people confuse conformity with patriotism,' he said. Instead, he suggested, people should 'speak the truth.'
'Gunter Grass, the German writer who won the Nobel prize last year, said that 'the first duty of a citizen is to keep his mouth open.' That's good advice.'
Hightower's populist remarks, frequently peppered by humorous, home-spun Texas sayings, were well received by the more than 120 people in the audience and the more than 30 organizations that participated in the Civic Fair.
The audience seemed to especially welcome his appeal to become even more active in the quest for economic fairness and social justice.
'We need to agitate, advocate, and organize for the interests of the common people,' he said, with a 'new politics' that puts the common good first.

For Disney, 2015 was the year the Force awakened and investors freaked out over subscriber declines at flagship network ESPN. Fears over the effects of cord-cutting wreaked havoc on most media stocks last year, but the Mouse House's media networks booked nearly as much revenue as Disney's parks and resorts and film studio units combined. Overall, Disney has set new annual revenue records five years in a row and ended 2015 in style with the Star Wars franchise's record-breaking return to the big screen with The Force Awakens. 0. 2016, the company has another full slate of blockbusters on tap, while Disneyland Shanghai finally opens its gates after years of anticipation. Meanwhile, investors' cord-cutting fears have tempered a bit, though how to evolve the traditional television model still remains a major concern—and, now, Disney is once again seeking a successor to CEO Bob Iger, whose contract expires in 2018.

David Haye Decision in 10 Days.
Magdeburg,Germany tonight,Adam Booth in the ring after the Groves win tonight stated,the speculation around Haye's return on the 6th of July is down to poor journalism,but said a decision is expected within 10 days on the star's future.Could it be full time retirement or a planned return ?
Love him or hate him the man should be in the ring,with his popularity at an all time high with casual UK fans after his recent 3 weeks in the Jungle Celebrity show,hot on his heels from the Celebrity Show,The Haye-Maker has just released a get fit DVD.If there ever was a time to return to the ring surely that time is now or never.

He should really get himself fighting twice a year. He's at a prime age for a HW and he's a very, very good fighter.
I expect a return announcement and hopefully he shows what he can do by going in there and taking out Pulev or Povetkin....even Adamek would draw some interest I'm sure.

Adamek in Poland would draw huge figures,50/50 fight IMO,I couldn't see a stoppage personally,Goral has looked lethargic of late,Haye would be catching him at a good time if they fought now.

I think Haye would stop Adamek.
I really don't rate Adamek at HW, I've seen him hurt a number of times and also outboxed by average guys. I can't see him standing up to too many of the right hands that would hit the target. In all honesty, I don't think Adamek should still be at HW.

At CW he was exiting as he put people away but at HW he has been a joke! He threw the least amount of punches ever in a HW title fight against Valuev, fought a bum who got beat by Roy Jones as his first defense (Also badly gassed against ruiz) fought A-Farce and looked worse than Michael Sprott who KO'd Audley (Not to mention it looked a huge fix) and after years of talking, didnt show up against the champ and wimpered to a UD lose.
Haye can **** off and never come back. He's a cunt

I think haye will go for pov and ko him imo
then look for a rematch with wlad
there are some posts about why haye does not fight more often, he is a very injury prone fighter, in his last 4 out of 5 fights, he came into them with an injury. Some people are just born like that, injury prone
plus, there is no reason for haye to have nothing fights, unless the division was stacked, then there would be a reason but at the moment it would be nothing fights

I'm a realist. Haye stops Adamek with ease.
He needs a win over a serious contender. Perhaps Povetkin? I know he's fairly pally with Kalle Sauerland, so its possible. Or perhaps Helenius? The guy is an oath and asking to get stopped.
Either way, Wladimir beats him.

Blue Man Droop
ST. LOUIS Of all the expensive parts on the Dodgers' $234.5 million machine, the last one they expected to break down was Clayton Kershaw.
Pitching the most important game of his career, Kershaw had one of the worst innings of that career in Game 6 of the National League Championship Series. The Dodgers' ace and presumptive National League Cy Young Award winner came unraveled in the third inning and didn't make it through the fifth as the Dodgers were eliminated from the postseason in embarrassing fashion, routed, 9-0, by the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday night.
The win sends the Cardinals on to their second World Series in the past three years and fourth in the past decade – and extends the Dodgers' absence from that stage into a 26th year.
"I just didn't have it tonight," Kershaw said. "I just didn't pitch good. I don't have an answer (why). I just didn't pitch good."
It wasn't just that Kershaw was off his usual dominant form – he was way off. The Cardinals' four-run third inning was the most he had allowed in an inning all year and more than he had allowed in 32 of his previous 36 starts.
He finished with seven runs allowed on 10 hits in four-plus innings.
"Shell-shocked – I think that's a good word for it," Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis said of the team's state of mind after watching their ace humiliated at such a big moment. "We felt really great on the plane yesterday, having what we had lined up (Kershaw in Game 6 and Hyun-Jin Ryu in a potential Game 7). We felt good about facing (Michael) Wacha for a second time.
"Give (Wacha) credit. He's the real deal. One-to-nothing, 9-0 – it doesn't really matter. We didn't score any runs. He was never in trouble."
Wacha was selected the NLCS MVP for outdueling Kershaw twice (Games 2 and 6). And Friday, it was not the rookie with 12 big league starts under his belt (including three in the postseason) who collapsed under the weight of the moment. It was Kershaw.
"You know – it can happen. It can happen," Dodgers GM Ned Colletti said. "We expect perfection out of someone like him every time. It just didn't happen tonight."
Kershaw's downfall began with one out and no one on in the third inning. Cardinals leadoff man Matt Carpenter took a ball then proceeded to foul off seven consecutive pitches and worked the count full before dropping a double into the right-field corner.
Ellis called it "a game-changing at-bat," and it seemed to stick with Kershaw the rest of the inning.
"He's the best pitcher in baseball," Carpenter said. "Honestly, when he got two strikes on me … my mindset immediately changed. 'I'm not striking out. I'm not going to let him strike me out right here. I'm going to put this ball in play even if I roll over it and hit it softly.' "
Carlos Beltran followed with a single past a diving Mark Ellis and into right field, where Yasiel Puig made the first of a series of mistakes. His off-balance throw had no chance of getting Carpenter at home and wasn't handled cleanly by cutoff man Adrian Gonzalez, allowing Beltran to advance. He scored two batters later when Yadier Molina singled.
The inning continued through two more singles and a disputed walk that set Kershaw off when he didn't get a call against Matt Adams.
"No point in talking about it now," Kershaw said of the pitch. "It's over with now."
It wasn't quite over. The career-high 48-pitch inning – and all the innings that came before it – seemed to take a toll in the fifth when the first three batters reached base against Kershaw, forcing Manager Don Mattingly to go get him.
"Thank you for trying to find excuses, guys. I just didn't pitch good," Kershaw said when asked if the 48 pitches, the first short-rest start of his career (in the NLDS against the Atlanta Braves) and the highest innings total of his career (259 combined regular season and playoffs) had all finally caught up with him.

redtailhawkwrote a review of Optimus Nova Plus Stove on May 25, 2015
Classic example of RTFM
Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
After researching stoves and reviews, I chose the Nova+ prior to an "expedition" into the Apostles. The same problem that others have commented on about needing an engineering degree to figure it out, or that it doesn't simmer, etc. had me stumped for a while but the problem is quite simple to solve. This is key - open the manual and go to your language section. Read the instructions. Now, look and read carefully the BOX the stove comes in. Then, understand this - people who write technical manuals are not always the people who understand how users use a device, and this manual has some shortcomings IMO. Basically the Nova+ is very well designed but it must be operated like this:
1. The little knurled knob on the pump with off<>on arrows - all this knob does is open or CLOSE the fuel - it is NOT used for simmering or flame control. The manual does not really spell this out very well. Think about the design of most every other stove out there - first you gotta get fuel from the can/pump to the stove, then you adjust the flame...
2. So, go pumped it, opened the gate, and now what ? The big green barrel-shaped thing just to the right of the knurled knob but 6" from the stove - yes, the thing with the directional arrows on it - turning this barrel will spin the entire fuel line and subsequently adjust the fuel going into the jet. This is the ONLY thing you turn to adjust the flame/prime/etc.
3. Some people over-simplify or over-think well engineered tools like this. The guy that said the line was plugged - probably had that barrel or line adjuster fully turned "off", thus, no matter how many times you pump or turn the knurled metal knob, it cannot force fuel beyond the actual line adjuster.
I hope this comes in handy for others considering this stove. Once I got past the "this thing is junk" phase and actually READ how the stove is intended to operate, it will simmer beautifully, no farting, sputtering, or burn the crap out of things. You simply adjust the green barrel ring thing which lets you prime it, fire it up to a low roar, or simmer to the point of making soups without zorching things to carbon goo at the bottom of your titanium pans.
Really, trust me, this thing is a well engineered tool but a monkey will not figure it out, no matter how smart the monkey things he is.
Folks at Optimus - manuals need some work.

Steve had a great sense of humor, and he loved life. After retirement, he set up residence at Possum Kingdom Lake. He was an avid golfer and enjoyed being outdoors. He had a passion for anything pertaining to water, especially fishing and boating. He enjoyed entertaining his friends and family and was a great cook. He loved to take motorcycle trips with his friends and was a HOG member. He will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Alice, in 1999.
Survivors include a son, Scott Chauveaux of Houston; a brother, Mike Chauveaux and wife Kathy of Abilene; his father, Ivan Chauveaux of Abilene; a nephew, Kurt Chauveaux of Lubbock; two nieces, Kristen Chauveaux of Denver and Katie Casey and husband Hank of Fort Worth; and a host of relatives and friends.

A two-day manhunt has come to an end, following the arrest of the suspect in a series of felonies.
That search even led to a lockdown Wednesday at the school in Elk Point.Scott Hughes of rural Elk Point, a wanted man in several counties, was apprehended and placed in custody, after a wild chase throughout the night in both Clay and Plymouth Counties.
During the manhunt, authorities lost the suspect in a corn field, where he set his own pick up ablaze.
"That all ties back to here when we got a call this morning about 8:30 of a house on fire. We were able to with the evidence that we gathered determine that this individual was involved with this arson... it ended up being an arson at this house," said Union County Sheriff Dan Limoges.
Officials say that the arson took place at a vacant home on 471st St., between Elk Point and Burbank.The home belongs to Hughes' former boss, whose children attended the local school.
Fears over Hughes' actions led to a lockdown at the Elk Point Jefferson School District as a precaution.
The shut down was later lifted and all activities resumed.
Authorities now said Hughes will be extradited back to Union County, where he will be charged for several offenses.
Hughes also faces charges in Clay County in South Dakota and Plymouth County in Iowa.

COLUMBIA -- Utility crews are making progress as they work to restore power to South Carolinians who lost service during this week's snow, sleet and freezing rain.
But utility company officials have warned that it could be next week before all power is restored.
The most serious problems have been reported in Aiken and Dorchester counties.
Emergency Preparedness officials said Friday that about 228,000 customers were without service. That's down from a peak of about 346,000 late Thursday, the peak in the storm.
The Highway Patrol says troopers have responded to more than 4,500 calls. That includes more than 1,300 wrecks and more than 1,100 reports of trees on roadways.
Most roads are in good condition, but officials say many secondary roads still have snow, slush or ice.
