It's that time of year again when the newbies start heading off to university. All full of both excitement and trepidation for the new adventure on the horizon. Being pushed out into the cold, harsh world of reality. Out of the warm cosy busom of home where Mummy looked after your every need.
Well here are some tips for you gung ho uni students, just a few bits of helpful advice from someone who has been there and done it.
- Work out your fellow students in your class. Which one is likely to quit within weeks, avoid them. Find out which ones know what they are on about or really genned up on the subject.
- If you're required to give a talk, answers, or presentation. It's always best to go first or near the beginning.
- When you get your deadline dates for papers, set your hand in date for a week before the actual date. This saves you rushing on the last day, because something always goes wrong.
- Find one good general book for your course and then find out the best authors to follow up on.
- Books from second hand shops a lot better than the bookshop on campus.
- If your sharing a flat and need to buy things up front, get everyone's money up front.
- The show off's at the beginning of the year, don't usually last.
- Be yourself.
- Lastly enjoy yourself, it's a fantastic time.

Airport delays in UK have knock-on effects here
A "TECHNICAL problem" at the air traffic control centre is causing delays at airports across the UK.
A Stansted Airport spokesman said all of its departing flights were subject to delays of between 30 minutes and two hours, while Gatwick Airport said 20pc of its departures had been delayed, with passengers warned they could wait for "a couple of hours".
The British National Air Traffic Services (Nats) said the issue stemmed from it control centre in Swanwick, Hampshire.
A spokesman said: "Due to a technical problem at Swanwick, we are currently experiencing some difficulty switching from night-time to daytime operation. This may result in some delays, for which we apologise.
"Engineers are working to rectify the problem as soon as possible."
A spokeswoman for Dublin Airport said: "I understand that there are some flight delays as a result of air traffic control issues in the UK."
Aer Lingus has said that one in 10 flights into and out of the country are delayed.
Among delays the airline listed by Ryanair were its flight from London Luton to Dublin, London Stansted to Dublin, Dublin to Birmingham, Dublin to Newcastle and Cork to London Stantstead.
The Stansted spokesman said: "There are restrictions on the air space and the flow of aircraft. Our first departures go at 6am, so that's when the problems started."
A spokeswoman for Gatwick Airport said: "There are some issues with the air traffic control system.
"The result of it is that, at the moment, 20% of our flights are being delayed, by anything up to a couple of hours, but we're getting people moving and getting them away.
"There are no problems with arrivals at the moment."
The problem is unlikely to be fixed until 2pm at the earliest.
The Association of British Travel Agents (Abta) said: "Nats air traffic control has advised that, due to air traffic control telephone equipment failure at Swanwick, they are currently experiencing some difficulty switching from night-time to daytime operations.
"Technicians are working to try to resolve the issue but have advised that this is unlikely to be before 2pm today.
"Delays and flight cancellations at some UK airports are being experienced as a result.
"Customers due to travel today should liaise with their airline to establish if there are any changes to their flight arrangements.
On its website, Ryanair apologised for any inconvenience, writing: "Ryanair has been advised of an equipment failure within UK air traffic control which will cause significant flight delays and possible cancellations."
Passanger Daisy McAndrew said she had been caught in the "unholy mess" at Gatwick as she tried to fly to Barcelona for work.
"As ever, staff have been fantastic but they know nothing other than the fact it is going to be a very, very long delay - very frustrating," Ms McAndrew told Sky News.
"And also, it's embarrassing, isn't it? When you look around a lot of people on my plane are not British, they are flying British Airways, they are probably trying to get back to Spain and they will inevitably be thinking this is something that could have possibly been prevented.
"It doesn't show our air traffic control system or our travel system in a good light.
"I have never heard of an example where every single plane is grounded - it's quite eerie when I look out of the window to see the tarmac in Gatwick, normally so busy, and also the sky above Gatwick which is normally busy - completely static, there's nothing moving."
A spokesman for Cardiff Airport said all flights this morning had been affected.
Incoming flights from Glasgow, Dublin and Amsterdam are delayed with no estimated time of arrival.
Passengers travelling from Malaga to Cardiff were expected at 8.35 but this has been delayed to 10.20.
Those leaving Cardiff Airport are also experiencing delays, with a flight to Paris delayed with no estimated time of arrival.
A flight to Malaga has been delayed from 9.10 to an estimated take-off at 10.55, with one to Amsterdam delayed from 10.25 to an estimated time of 11.10.
A spokesman for Cardiff Airport said: "Both (departures and arrivals) have been delayed because of the knock-on effect of the late arrivals of the service.
"We are currently looking at an estimated 1hour 40 minutes delay."
There have been cancellations at Heathrow Airport for flights scheduled to leave this morning.
A Heathrow Airport spokeswoman said: "We are currently experiencing some delays."
Flight information on the airport's website showed several departures to both domestic and international destinations had been cancelled.
A spokeswoman for London City Airport said she believed it was affected in the same way as all London airports, and said a statement would be made as soon as possible.
A spokesman for Luton Airport said it was "experiencing delays across the board".
Scotland's two biggest airports reported delays.
A spokesman for Edinburgh Airport said the Nats technical fault had led to delays on southbound flights and he asked passengers to contact their airline if they are due to travel today.
Glasgow Airport tweeted: "A technical issue with air traffic control is resulting in some flight delays. Pls check with your airline for specific flight info."
EasyJet advised passengers to check in for flights as normal "as the situation can improve", but suggested they refer to the airline's flight tracker page for updates.
A message on its website read: "Although this is beyond easyJet's control, we apologise for any inconvenience that you may experience today."
Independent aviation analyst Chris Yates said: "It's going to be a day of frustrations and the knock-on effects are going to last for the whole day because of the backlog of planes. It will be a tough day for everybody."
Mr Yates said Swanwick controls all aircraft over the South of England, meaning thousands of passengers would be affected.
"It may be that some maintenance was going on overnight and that has caused the problem, or it could be a fibre-optic cable linking Swanwick with the rest of the UK has failed for some reason," he added.
He said that passengers due to arrive at UK airports from overseas could find themselves diverted elsewhere.
"There are contingency plans in place whenever this happens," he said. "Many of the long-haul flights, coming from China, India, the US and so on, passengers sitting on those planes may find themselves diverted to continental airports.
"But it's going to be a long wait for them. When the system kicks back in and starts working, there will be a backlog of flights.
"For those waiting to fly out, it's going to be a case of sitting around the airport terminal until things get back to normal."

Paul Parker: Manchester United fans would love a team with Liverpool's flair
Manchester United have an improving team and aren't out of the title race just yet, but the fans at Old Trafford would love to watch a team with some of Liverpool's flair - says Paul Parker.
How many Liverpool players would get in the Manchester United team? There's too many to name.
Adam Lallana would push to get in the Manchester United team. So would Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane. Manchester United fans would absolutely love those players.
Maybe Joel Matip and Georginio Wijnaldum would be in contention too, and maybe even a centre-forward like Daniel Sturridge who can make something out of nothing, pull something out of the bag when a game is tight. Liverpool have gone that way and they have a lot more flair than United.
Liverpool manager Jurgen KloppReuters
United are missing a bit of dynamism. I don't think there's much of a change of pace or enough craft, and they should be looking to add a bit of a spark, that little bit of flair.
There aren't many players there at the moment who can pull create something out of nothing. There's Juan Mata, Paul Pogba might do something, Zlatan Ibrahimovic might do something, but they need a little bit more. It's a particular problem in wide areas, where Jesse Lingard has become a workhorse rather than bringing any flair, and Anthony Martial is still struggling. There's nobody going past players out wide and, other than Valencia, there's nobody consistently delivering quality into the box.
But, then again, that's not what he wants.
" Mourinho wants to dilute the flair and creativity in favour of a team who are more work orientated with a decent work-ethic, and that's what Manchester United are working towards at the moment."
If you're looking for a Manchester United team of old with plenty of flair then that's not what you're going to get with Mourinho.
" The easiest team to build is something solid. A team with flair and individuality is very difficult to build and only certain managers can do that. Mourinho won't – he builds teams that destroy… and they are the easiest teams to build."
Against Liverpool on Sunday he is going to set up defensively and shut the game down. That's just the way he works.
It's the way he builds his sides. He sets his teams up to not get beaten by the other top teams. Don't get beat by the top teams and then that gives him a chance to sustain something.
" If he does anything different then Paul Parker will eat humble pie."
Who are Manchester United's most important players?
I think you have to say Ibrahimovic, thanks to the goals he has been scoring; I think you have to say the goalkeeper; and I think you have to say Michael Carrick.
Mourinho had his own ideas of what he wanted to do when he arrived and maybe Carrick was still seen as a Sir Alex Ferguson player. It wasn't a new situation – we've seen many, many times that managers go into new jobs and want to make changes, without using structures from anyone else, so they can say they did it their own way.
" But every man, dog, animal, dinosaur, reptile was saying that Manchester United had to play Michael Carrick… and there was only one man not listening."
In the end it's been forced upon Jose to go and pick Carrick, but since then it's been blatantly obvious that United needed Carrick in the team to give them some stability, to give them some presence and composure in midfield. Mourinho doesn't have anyone else who can give them that, which is why, if Manchester United want to go anywhere this season, then Michael Carrick has to play.
Where will Manchester United finish?
I still think United are fighting for a Champions League spot because they've had a great, great run… although they needed that run on the back of some poor results, too many draws.
They kept talking about too many draws and being unlucky, but they weren't unlucky, they just weren't good enough. But I think they're still fine for top four and I wouldn't feel confident saying that the title is out of their reach either, not at this stage.
Manchester United hauled back a 12 points difference in a far shorter space of time from Newcastle back in Kevin Keegan's time... so I'm not going to say it's impossible.
You've got to think though, are Chelsea really going to go and lose three games on the bounce? I really don't think they will. Over a stretch of time Chelsea will drop points, but it's hard to see Manchester United keeping this run going for long enough.
How good are Liverpool?
Liverpool have been a lot stronger than last season.
However, they've still got their frailties and Klopp needs to find someone to give them some stability in the middle of the park. They need a player who can hold things together when they go 2-0 up, but they don't have that person who can sure thing up from a winning position at the moment. They seem to get a little bit frightened when they are in control of games with a few minutes ago.
Their defensive problems will always be their undoing, but defence starts from the front and you have to look at the whole team, it isn't just the back-four. You have to look at the whole group and how they capitulated at Bournemouth. They need more leaders of men, players who buck up those around them and get the flair players to work hard and show a different side of their game. You need those unselfish players.
" Jordan Henderson tries, but he's not a captain of Liverpool in the way that Steven Gerrard was – he's still got a long way to go."
Against United I expect Liverpool to play as they always do, and away from home that counter-attacking style should really suit them. At home they can sometimes get a bit edgy, but playing away suits them.
They've got plenty of attacking options these days too, although Mane being a low is a massive miss, just as he's been a massive miss for Southampton since he left there. He's excitingly unpredictable and Liverpool will miss that.
Africa Cup of Nations
It'll be interesting to see how Mane goes in the Africa Cup of Nations. That's a terrific competition and I'll try and watch as much of it as I can.
That being said, I'm surprised that Fifa still allow the competition to take place during the European domestic season, given that so many players go over there now. It really impacts certain clubs and who they go and buy.
Take Liverpool – if they go on a bad run over the next few weeks and struggle to score goals then people will start to ask questions about Mane not being there and why they signed somebody who was going to be away at this important time of year.
Clubs and managers often use that as an excuse, but they shouldn't. You know when you buy them that the top African players are likely to be away at this time of year.
It's a unique situation for the clubs and could have a big impact on the Premier League title race… but I'm looking forward to the tournament all the same.

Home remedies for Thyroid
Thyroid is an endocrine gland that is mainly responsible for the proper functioning of metabolism rate in human system. The production of hormones, proteins and sensitivity of hormones to each other are the chief functions of thyroid gland. It is said to be malfunctioned, when the production of hormones exceeds or falls down from its normal limit. The condition is then said to be hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism.
Below is given some home remedies for thyroid, follow them but do consult your doctor:–
Balanced healthy diet and proper rest are two chief key notes to be kept in mind when you or your near and dear ones are affected with thyroid abnormalities.
Yoga or meditation must be included in daily life for balancing the functioning of the said gland and calming the body and mind.
Kelp, a highly rich mineral in iodine is necessary for proper functioning of the thyroid gland. It is effective only when some deficiency is found. Do consult an expert before consuming it.
Lemon is good for normalising the functioning of thyroid gland. Prepare a lemon tea or use it in diet.
Products consisting of white flour or other products rich in sugar should be strictly avoided.
Cakes, pastries, sweets and other fat rich products should also be avoided as much as possible. Say not to fleshy and greasy foods.
Coconut oil is highly beneficial for maintaining the overall thyroid health. The triglycerides present in this saturated fat helps in increasing the metabolism rate and also helps in controlling weight.
Fruits, sprouts and vegetables should be included in the diet.
Vitamin A is said to be good for people having thyroid problems. So, opt for pumpkin, green leafy vegetables and carrots.
Walnut helps in balanced functioning of the gland because of the presence of iodine and magnesium in it. Sea weeds can also be taken in the diet as a garnishing item in salad as well as in soup.
Cucumber is the most beneficial item to be consumed in salad. It helps a lot for patients diagnosed from hypothyroidism.
Sometimes people having thyroid abnormalities are advised to go on fast wherein only juices are allowed. Concept behind this is cleansing of the entire system. Juices of the fruits such as apple, grapes and pineapples are highly recommended.
In order to consume carbohydrate, avoid rice and include whole wheat in the diet. Barley and oats can also be included in the diet.
Prepare an herbal tea with a touch of ginger. Herbal tea is the best substitute for coffee, team carbonated drinks and alcohol.

Belsomra Information:
What is Belsomra?
Belsomra is a unique type of anti-insomnia medication that works by acting on orexin receptors. Orexin is a neurotransmitter that was just discovered in 1998. Orexin is produced in the hypothalamus and seems to play a major role in appetite and stimulating wakefulness. By inhibiting Orexin, Belsomra is able to induce and help maintain sleep in those having problems with insomnia.
How do I take Belsomra?
Belsomra comes in the form of a tablet and should be taken no more than once daily. Take this medication only before going to bed and only when you have at least 7 hours to sleep. This medication works better if it is not taken after eating.
Before taking Belsomra, tell your doctor if:
- You are taking other prescription or nonprescription drugs, especially antidepressants, antifungal medications, antibiotics, anticonvulsants, aprepitant, HIV medications, anxiety or other medications for mental illness, sedatives and others.
- You are taking vitamins or herbal supplements.
- You have narcolepsy or cataplexy.
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are allergic to any of the ingredients in Belsomra.
- You have lung problems or trouble breathing.
- You have liver disease.
- You have a history of alcohol addiction or you drink alcohol every day.
What are the possible side effects of taking Belsomra?
Possible side effects from taking Belsomra include daytime sleepiness, clouded thinking, sleep walking, feeling confused or acting strangely, mood changes, doing activities in your sleep, unusual dreams, diarrhea, dry mouth, cough and dizziness. If you experience mood changes, paralysis when falling sleep or waking up or leg weakness during the night, tell your doctor at once. Report any severe side effects or activities you find you do in your sleep to your doctor.
What if I forget to take a dose of Belsomra?
Belsomra should only be taken before bed. If you forget to take your medication, and you have less than seven hours to sleep, skip this dose and take Belsomra 30 minutes before the next time you go to bed.
How do I store Belsomra?
Store Belsomra tightly closed in its container at a temperature between 59 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep this medication away from moisture and light, and always keep it out of reach of children and pets.
What happens if I overdose on Belsomra?
There is not much information available for Belsomra overdose. Signs of overdose may include extreme drowsiness. If you think you or someone you know has overdosed, call the Poison Control Center immediately at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim is unconscious or unresponsive, call 911.
Belsomra has caused people to do things while they were partially asleep that they did not remember doing later such as driving, eating, making phone calls and other activities. If you experience this side effect, tell your doctor immediately. Ask your doctor about eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice while taking Belsomra. Do not drink alcohol and do not drive or operate machinery or do any potentially dangerous activities when taking Belsomra.
Brand Names
There are currently no other brand names or generic forms of Belsomra on the market. This keeps the price high. To help lower the cost of Belsomra, print one of our Belsomra coupons or request a free discount card in the mail.

Behold - The LED Alarm Clock to Hide Your Dropcam is out
You gave us feedback and we listened. Our customers have been loving the mirrored tissue box but had one major criticism: '...but what about the cable?' They are worried that the Dropcam cable coming out of the tissue box would arouse suspicion.
Good point, well made. So we went back to the drawing board to develop a hidden Dropcam enclosure where the existence of the Dropcam cable would not make people suspicious. Our customers suggested dozens of great ideas but the most frequent suggestion was to make a practical and functional LED Alarm Clock - and here it is:
This low key design of the LED Alarm Clock helps it blend in seamlessly into any room. The display shows the time, date, weekday and temperature and, of course, an alarm function (Duh!).
The Dropcam is well hidden behind the speaker. Upon very close inspection one can vaguely recognize the round shape of the Dropcam lens, but it is practically indistinguishable from the round shape of a normal speaker.
The Dropcam and its cable are inserted from the back and concealed by the back lid of the enclosure. The back lid stabilizes and conceals the camera from the back while keeping it well ventilated. The cable coming out of the Dropcam does not arouse suspicion.
The front of the speaker is made of special material that allows 100% of infrared light to pass through! That means 0% IR light reflection and 100% night vision capability!
We think the product turned out pretty well and we hope that you guys have as much fun with the product as we had designing and making it!

Now Reading
A change in direction for the 2014 Toronto Argonauts' defence is, in essence, a complete one. Not just personnel-wise, but in construction and execution as well.
It's a collective change that will see new faces, new on-field approaches and a difference in how the players are managed by their boss. It will include a reliance on reaction, rather than scheming, and on defensive line play that will be unlike others in the CFL.
The man overseeing the facelift, Defensive Coordinator Tim Burke, is brimming with optimism, thrilled with the talent at his disposal, but also cautious not to get hopes too high, too early.
There will be growing pains.
"I don't think we're gonna be as good in the first game as we're gonna be by mid-season," Burke said just after the Argos had wrapped up a humidity-soaked practice at York University. "My hope is that we're good enough, as we get into the opening part of the season, that we don't have to rely on the offence to hold us in games. I'm hoping we can get the offence back on the field because we have such a high-powered offence."
After a moment, he qualified that reply, just in case it sounded at all too pessimistic.
"I didn't mean to make that sound like we're not going to be good enough on game one. I think we will be. But, I think by mid-season we're gonna be an even better team. Probably eight starters will be new. By mid-season they should be really humming along."
Burke needn't worry, I don't think. Anyone expecting the Argos' defence to be a league best unit immediately has their hopes too high. Realistically, even if Burke's high regard about the abilities of these Argos' defenders is warranted – "I think this is the most talented defensive group I've been around," he said – football defences take some time to solidify. Even when they're veteran laden, never mind filled with rookies and sophomores.
» Argos Prepping for Pre-Season Finale» Landry: rgos backfield no more clear» Argos running backs get clear mandate» Argos open pre-season with a win» Video: Toronto at Winnipeg recap» Milanovich tests new PI Rules» PI Challenge Turns Tide for Argos » LaPolice happy to get back on the sidelines» Landry: Emry ready to lead linebackers» Daley happy to have another all-star» Argos back competition heating up» Open competition in Toronto's backfield» Video: Kackert on Becoming a Coach» Argos add Kackert to coaching staff» Battle for backup in Toronto» Harris leads battle for #2 QB» Photos: CFL Training Camps» Off-Season Timeline: Toronto Argonauts» Argos sign entire draft class
With that in mind, the Argonauts' defence will begin in a trimmed down manner.
"We have a base defence that we really coach hard; the basics of that defence and the reads and all that," said Burke, before adding: "We will add schemes as far as blitzes and things like that."
"I think if you look at a team like Montreal, they're pretty much all scheme-based and they don't really care a whole lot about technique," he continued. "They're just gonna keep blitzing you, or fake the blitz and (have) everybody drop. We're much more of a base defence than that."
So, for now, it's all straight line and simplified for these Argos. The football equivalent to baseball's 'see ball, hit ball' philosophy.
"Coach Burke likes to just let us fly, come downhill and let the D line rush," said second year linebacker, Shane Horton.
It's not a secret that the Argonauts' defence needs to improve over its standing from the 2013 season. Last in passing yards given up per game, at 298. Second-last in rushing yards given up per game, at 109. Last in total yardage surrendered per game, at 389. Second-last in sacks with 38, a full 25 quarterback pelts behind the league-leading Calgary Stampeders.
Within that misery, there were bright spots. The Argos were third in defensive takeaways (50) and tied for third in interceptions (22). However, those numbers were bolstered by departed players such as linebacker Marcus Ball and defensive back Pat Watkins, who had 8 interceptions and 5 forced fumbles between them.
That productivity will need to be replaced.
That's where Horton, for one, comes in. Like Ball, he has a motor that knows no low gear and a propensity to blow up ball carriers with jarring hits. With 4 forced fumbles and 3 recoveries in 2013, he'll be expected to pick up even more slack and just might do it, with the increase in field time he's due.
"I really like what I see out of Shane as far as talent goes," an enthused Burke said. "I love his attitude. He's happy, loves football, loves to be out there every moment. He's an intelligent guy. He lives and breathes football and I love that about him."
Horton likes this new Argos' defence, and hints that Burke's attitude towards his players could have them playing with more confidence and comfort. When asked to compare the current D.C. to last year's (Chris Jones, now Head Coach of the Edmonton Eskimos), Horton replied:
"He's a little change up from last year with Coach Jones. Coach Burke is kind of like a philosopher. He kind of sits back and understands everything and makes sure everybody's in the right spot. He's not a yeller, unless you're really doing something wrong. I think a lot of guys have less pressure on them. They don't feel real tense about messing up and stuff. It's a laid back mentality but it's stern in that you've gotta get your job done because Coach Burke is back there observing everything. he's not missing anything."
Burke's job with the Argonauts is a just a trifle different than the missions he faced when taking over as defensive coordinator with the Montreal Alouettes (2008) and Winnipeg Blue Bombers (2011). When asked to talk about those postings as compared to this new challenge in Toronto, he contrasts the experience of the players at his disposal.
"I think it's different in the respect that we're gonna have so many new starters on defence," he explained. "In Montreal we had pretty much a veteran defence when we got there. In Winnipeg we did have kind of a group of guys who'd been there for a year and so it was just polishing those guys, more than anything else."
With veteran groups, Burke was very successful. Other than a dip in the Alouettes' pass defence in 2010, the units he coordinated were tops in a clutch of key categories. In particular, his defences were at or near the top in quarterback sacks as well as defensive takeaways. While it can be said that he walked into a team that was already a sack power in Winnipeg in 2011, Burke's designs helped the Bombers go from a near league low of 37 takeaways in 2010, to a league leading 54 in 2011. "That's what happens when you have a good athlete with a lot of confidence," said Burke of healthy takeaway numbers.
Confidence is something that an exceptionally green Argos' defensive line is still working on. Burke serves up heady praise for the group and then tempers it with a progress report that indicates the unit is suffering through hiccups.
"I think, talent wise, this could be the best defensive line of all the defensive lines I've been associated with. It's just that they are so far away as far as accomplishing their technique. It's like two steps forward, one step back as we go through practice. We get better and then we resort to old habits."
Again, this was not unexpected. It does mean, however, that the defensive line is Coach Burke's most pressing area of attention right now.
"I think it is," he said. "You look at Cleyon Laing and he's the veteran of the group. He's been here a year. So, everybody else is a rookie and we're trying to go out there and pretty much replace a whole defensive line."
The goal is for the Argonauts' defence to have such a formidable rush from the front four that they won't need to blitz so much from other positions unless, really, they feel like it. To achieve that goal, Burke has his young linemen learning techniques that he claims will stand out in a crowd.
"It's radically different from what everybody else does in the league," he said.
While the design and execution of what a front four is up to can be complicated, it's fairly safe to say the Argos' version will be one of good ol' aggression and speed. In keeping with Burke's philosophies, it's straightforward.
"We're just trying to get them to play as hard as they can play, to rush the pass/run every snap and tackle the running back on the way to the quarterback," said Burke.
So far, Laing approves.
"It's just go, go, go," he said. "It's fun playing this defence."
Things will really get fun if Burke has not overestimated the talent of his charges on this new-look Argos' defence. If it rises to the occasion then a complete package in double blue will have emerged.
If not, then an explosive Argos' offence will be asked to fill the team's sails in 2014.

Suffice it to say, he's writing about characters in warmer climes, and thinks that with the pace he's working at one or even two chapters could be completed by the end of the week. In comments he adds that he's within "spitting distance" of 1200 pages of manuscript (which means roughly 800 pages, using a rough rule-of-thumb 1.5:1 ratio) while stating that it's not impossible some parts of the novel might move to the next book if, when it's turned in to editors, it's longer than A Storm of Swords.

Well, finding and keeping workers around here is really hard. Even when you find a good worker they really don't want to work hard at all...very disappointing. I was thinking of hooking up with the H2B program to bring in some good hard workers that want to work. The problem is that I don't know what the reception would be like in the area. Would I lose customers, would people not call me, etc. What do you guys think?

RAND PAUL: 'GOP of Old Grown Stale and Moss-Covered'
SEN. RAND PAUL (R-KY): The GOP of old has grown stale and moss-covered. I don't think we need to name any names, do we? Our party is encumbered by an inconsistent approach to freedom. The new GOP will need to embrace liberty in both the economic and the personal sphere. If we're going to have a Republican party that can win, liberty needs to be the backbone of the GOP. We must have a message that is broad, our vision must be broad, and that vision must be based on freedom.

SAN JOSE — A woman was found stabbed to death Tuesday afternoon inside a residence behind Regional Medical Center in the city's 13th homicide of the year, according to San Jose police.
Officers were called about 2:55 p.m. to the 100 block of Jose Figueres Avenue, between Alum Rock and Luz avenues, by a neighbor who reported the woman was wounded inside an apartment there.
According to San Jose police spokeswoman Sgt. Heather Randol, the woman had at least one stab wound and was pronounced dead a short time later. Homicide detectives were summoned to the scene, and Randol said she expected them to be there late into the night.
"Nobody else was injured, and we don't have any suspects at this point," Randol said. "We can't say what happened at this point — it's just too early to tell."
Residents milling about the neighborhood of multiunit apartment buildings said it's generally not a bad area, although it can get dicey at certain times.
"It's so scary," said Florence Alabastro, who lives in a nearby apartment with her family. "Sometimes I just let (my kids) play outside, in the patio and just watching them. But now, nuh-uh."
The victim was described by police only as an adult female. Further details were not immediately available.
At this point in 2013, the city had also recorded 13 homicides.
Tuesday's crime scene is near the site of a violent Thanksgiving Day attack last fall where a man stabbed three people at an apartment complex on Luz Avenue. Albert Manuel Vasquez, 42, went on to carjack a van and lead a high-speed police chase that traversed the freeway and ended in a cul-de-sac near Mabury and White roads. Vasquez then rammed the stolen vehicle into a patrol car in an attempt to escape, spurring Officer Kevin Peters to shoot and kill Vasquez.
All three stab victims in that attack survived.

Before we start off, for those who are unaware, Palliative Care is medical care given to patients whose diseases no longer respond to curable treatments. The patient has a disease which is life-limiting and life-threatening. The aim of hospice-palliative care is to alleviate the sufferings of these patients and to enhance the quality of life in the remaining days of their life. Hospice work involves providing for relief from pain and other distressing symptoms, as well as the giving of professional advice and support to families of cancer patients to help them care better for these patients.
Unlike the previous installments, we have decided to publish his story in the form of Q&A to help Jared tell his story in a better way.
1. Would you mind introducing yourself?
My name is Jared Ong Xi Keng, I turn 26 this year and my mom was diagnosed with cancer 2 years ago.
2. When and how did you found about the illness? How did you feel at that time?
My mom found out about the diagnosis when she took a spirulina pill and hadn't been feeling well ever since. She constantly coughed and had headaches. At first she thought it was the side effect of the pills but it turned out to be lung cancer. It was very saddening and shocking at that point of time but we tried to remain positive and have faith.
3. How has life changed ever since the illness was diagnosed?
After discovering the illness, life was not the same ever again especially for my dad who is the pillar of strength for my mom for the entire period of time during her battle with cancer. He had to constantly fetch her in & out of the National Cancer Institute situated in Putrajaya. I feel like my father is more tired than my mother from all these fetching. My sisters-in-law stayed up late night to take care of mom as well because the hospital did not allow men to stay overnight in the hospital since it is part of the law. I felt like this law has to be revised again because there might be cases where some families do not have daughters, sisters or any woman in the household who would be able to take care of the ill patients.
I think the most challenging situation I have faced was the time my mother started undergoing chemotherapy and her health started deteriorating. After a few rounds of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the results came but it did not do any good. From then on, her confidence level started to fluctuate till the point where she once fell and fainted. To makes things worse, things were never got better. She slept for long hours, hardly talked or smiled anymore and even feeding her was a difficult feat.
4. How did you eventually find out about Palliative Care?
We were recommended about Palliative Care by the hospital where my mother was getting treated as my mother wished to go home and rest.
5. How has Palliative Care benefitted you ever since you received their help?
You are able to rent some of the available facilities and even hire caregivers. We really appreciated the caregiver's help as my father is the only one at home most of the time to tend to my mother's needs and it's good to have another helping hand around to ease the burden with tasks like cleaning my mother, changing her clothes and diapers as well as to feed her.
6. Any additional advice or life lessons you have learnt that you would like to share?
My advice is just talk to them as much as you can. Let them know that you still need them in your life and give as much support as you can. Give them more reasons to continue the fight and add a lot a lot of positivity into the cancer patients' life. I believe medication and treatments only play a part in combating cancer whereas support and motivation from loved ones and the patient him/herself plays the other major part in winning the battle against cancer.
How YOU can be part of the movement
The Malaysian Hospice Council will also be organizing the Malaysian Hospice Council Congress 2016 from 22nd – 24th April 2016. The Congress offers you a chance to hear and interact with leading researchers and practitioners among the palliative care community. Attendees also will be able to update their knowledge, share experiences and ask questions. To find out more on the event, you may click HERE : http://bit.ly/HospiceCongress
Additionally, as Hospice's efforts do not charge patients; the budget of the movement is supported by monetary funding from the public. In relation to this, GetDoc and Hospice Klang have set up a Pledge Funding event and a Crowd Funding event in order to raise funds to ease the monetary burden faced by the Hospice body.

%h1 Multiple ISO-8859 Encodings in Lout %p Before you start, keep in mind the following: %ol %li X11, Lout, GhostScript, and PSUtils all look for Type1 fonts in different locations and use unrelated configureation. %li You need the .pfa (font outlines) and .afm (font metrics). FontForge can save the metrics file when you generate the fonts. %li The 8-bit encodings are intended only for modern dialects, and do not have native support for combined characters, ancient accents and other notations. %li If you want to distribute a postscript document with new fonts, every page must have them embedded with includeres. %li Don't use @Font adjustments in the body of the document directly, wrap it with a macro so it can be easily tweaked and read. %h2 Latin, Greek and Hebrew %p Most fonts distributed today are Unicode fonts. Lout only uses 8-bit character sets, but it is still possible to include languages that use multiple encodings in the same source. %p Efraim Yawitz posted some macros and the David font that are very useful for this, including new macros @RLFill and LRFill. Put these macros in a file called mydefs in your working directory and it will work fine for simple functions. There are a lot of extra glyphs in the David typeface that exclude the Latin character set, so use care if you choose to use them in Lout--you are essentially creating an ad-hoc encoding. In these examples I don't use right-to-left editing, I typed them in display order. %p.center %p The simplified Greek font that I use are the Type 1 scalable Greek (ISO 8859-7) distributed by Red Hat. Lout and GhostScript will die when using fonts that aren't encoded in a specific way, so use FontForge to re-encode them with the specific ISO-8859- character set.
%h2 Building and Previewing %p Makefiles make managing compiled source much easier, and text processing is no exception. Start by defining some paths specific to your system: :codeblock :::make GS_FONTS=/usr/local/share/ghostscript/fonts PS_UTILS=/usr/local/share/psutils WD=`pwd` %p Make sure Lout knows that there are fonts in the current directory with -F so it doesn't complain. :codeblock :::make all: mixed-8859.ps lout -F ${WD} mixed-8859 > mixed-8859.ps pre: mixed-8859.ps gv mixed-8859.ps mixed-8859.ps: lout -F ${WD} mixed-8859 > mixed-8859.ps %p Before you can distribute a document with unusual fonts you must embed them with the utility includeres. This makes the file size huge, but as Valeriy E. Ushakov explains, page independence dictates that each page is not dependent on definitions in previous pages. %p Instead of copying the fonts to multiple places, I use a symbolic link from GhostScript's font directory to PSUtils. :codeblock :::make install: cp davidy.afm davidy.pfa ${GS_FONTS} ln -fs ${GS_FONTS}/davidy.pfa ${PS_UTILS}/David cp grktimp.afm grktimp.pfa ${GS_FONTS} ln -fs ${GS_FONTS}/grktimp.pfa ${PS_UTILS}/Greek-TimesPlain uninstall: rm ${PS_UTILS}/David rm ${GS_FONTS}/davidy.pfa ${GS_FONTS}/davidy.afm rm ${PS_UTILS}/Greek-TimesPlain rm ${GS_FONTS}/grktimp.pfa ${GS_FONTS}/grktimp.afm final: includeres mixed-8859.ps > output.ps %p And make sure to clean up anything you don't want. :codeblock :::make clean: rm -f mixed-8859.ps *.li *.ldx *.lix mixed-8859.ld output.ps XftCache fonts.* %p Finally, create a file called Fontmap and put in the definitions for which gs and related utilities can read to find out what a font name means. :codeblock /DaviD (davidy.pfa); /Greek-TimesPlain (grktimp.pfa); %h2 Telling Lout about New Fonts %p Instead of putting font definitions in mydefs, I create a new library with the Lout FontDef statements in it called custom.fd.ld: :codeblock :::lout {@FontDef @Tag {David-Base} @Face {Base} @Family {David} @Name {David} @Metrics {davidy.afm} @Mapping {Latin1.LCM} } {@FontDef @Tag {Greek-Base} @Face {Base} @Family {Greek} @Name {Greek-TimesPlain} @Metrics {grktimp.afm} @Mapping {Latin1.LCM} } %p Notice how these parameters match the labels in the font metrics files: :codeblock $ grep Name *.afm davidy.afm:FontName David davidy.afm:FullName David davidy.afm:FamilyName David grktimp.afm:FontName Greek-TimesPlain grktimp.afm:FullName Greek Times Plain grktimp.afm:FamilyName Greek Times %p Now at the end of mydoc (or whatever your custom document parameter file is), included a reference to it: :codeblock :::lout @Database @FontDef { custom.fd } %p A few basic macros make the interjection of these new languages very smooth.

This screen-shot is of X.org 7.2 with hintingstyle set to hintfull in ~/.fonts.conf.
%h2 Encodings in VIM %p Sometimes it's helpful to set up some shortcuts for changing encoding. :codeblock :::vim map _u :set encoding=utf-8 map _1 :set encoding=iso-8859-1 map _7 :set encoding=iso-8859-7 map _8 :set encoding=iso-8859-8 %p Once you have the right terminal emulation and encoding use the :digraphs command to see the available characters and the keystrokes for producing them. Ctrl+K will enable you to type any one of these sequences without a special keyboard map.
%h2 Changing Terminal Fonts %p The easiest way to switch fonts is with mlterm, then define some keyboard shortcuts in .mlterm/key. :codeblock Control+F1="proto:encoding=iso8859-1" Control+F7="proto:encoding=iso8859-7" Control+F8="proto:encoding=iso8859-8" Control+F12="proto:encoding=utf-8" %p Setting the encoding in VIM gives easy access to the digigraph table, but the current font will determine how the characters look. mlterm will default to Latin1. %p.center

U.S. Willing to Talk With Iran About Iraq

U.S. Willing to Talk With Iran About Iraq
By BARRY SCHWEID, AP Diplomatic Writer 6 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - The United States said Thursday it was
prepared to talk with Iran about Iraq, but said any
discussions must be restricted to that topic and not
include other contentious subjects like Tehran's
suspected nuclear weapons program.
Zalmay Khalilzad, the U.S. ambassador to Iraq, is
authorized to talk with Iran about Iraq, much as the
United States has talked with Iran about issues
relating to Afghanistan, White House press secretary
Scott McClellan said.
"But this is a very narrow mandate dealing
specifically with issues relating to Iraq," McClellan
said. U.S. concerns about Iran's nuclear program are
being dealt with at the United Nations. "That's a
separate issue from this," McClellan said.
The White House statement came after Ali Larijani,
Iran's top nuclear negotiator and secretary of the
country's Supreme National Security Council, said
Tehran was ready to open direct talks with the United
States over Iraq, marking a major shift in Iranian
foreign policy.
President Bush has accused Iran of meddling in Iraq's
affairs and of sending weapons and men to help
insurgents in Iraq.
Months ago, however, Bush authorized Zhalilzad to
speak with Iranian diplomats about Iraq-related
issues. The ambassador followed up by approaching the
Iranians in Baghdad. The response was that Iran was
not interested in a dialogue exclusively about Iraq,
said a U.S. official who spoke on condition of
anonymity because he was not authorized to make public
If Iran is willing to talk about its military support
for Iraqi militia, including explosives, the United
States would be interested in pursuing talks, the
official said.
But if Iran wants to talk about intervening in the
Iraqi political process, the Bush administration would
not be interested, he said.
In weighing Larijani's initiative, Bush administration
officials are trying to determine whether the Iranian
senior nuclear negotiator was speaking for the Iranian
The next step is for Iranian diplomats in Baghdad to
indicate what Iran proposes specifically to talk to
the United States about, the official said.
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld recently said Iran's
Revolutionary Guards had been assisting the smuggling
of explosives and bomb-making material into Iraq.
Tehran has denied the U.S. charges, saying the
occupying forces were responsible for the instability
in Iraq.
Larijani also said any talks between the U.S. and Iran
would deal only with Iraqi issues. But it's the first
time since the 1979 Islamic Revolution that Iran had
officially called for dialogue with the United States,
which it has repeatedly condemned as "the Great
"To resolve Iraqi issues and help establishment of an
independent and free government in Iraq, we agree to
(talks with the United States)," Larijani said after a
closed meeting of the parliament Thursday.
The proposal to hold direct talks on Iraq came in
response to a request a day earlier from senior Iraqi
Shiite leader Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim.
Al-Hakim has close ties to Iran, and heads one of the
main Shiite parties in Iraq, the Supreme Council for
the Islamic Revolution in Iraq.
"I demand the leadership in Iran open a clear dialogue
with America about Iraq," al-Hakim said. "It is in the
interests of the Iraqi people that such dialogue is
opened and to find an understanding on various
Larijani said Iran will officially name negotiators
for direct talks with the United States but declined
to give further details.
"These talks will merely be about resolving Iraqi
issues," he told the parliament, without singling out
any issues.
Predominantly Shiite Iran also has expressed grave
concerns about the prospect of more violence in Iraq,
where bloody sectarian fighting and reprisal killings
have broken out in recent weeks.
The United States broke off diplomatic relations with
Iran in 1979 after the U.S. Embassy in Tehran was
seized by students to protest Washington's refusal to
hand over Iran's former monarch to Iran for trial.
Militant students held 52 Americans hostage for 444
Tehran-Washington relations began thawing after the
1997 election of former President Mohammad Khatami,
who called for cultural and athletic exchanges to help
bring down the wall of mistrust between both
But relations worsened after President Bush named Iran
as part of an "axis of evil" and after the election of
hard-line Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and
growing differences over Iran's nuclear activities.
The U.S. accuses Iran of using its civilian nuclear
program as a cover to build atomic weapons, but Tehran
denies this, saying its nuclear program is geared
merely toward generating electricity, not a bomb.

1. Just sit back and enjoy watching Kellyn Acosta
Matthew Doyle of MLSsoccer.com called him the MLS Young Player of the Year and it's easy to forget the Plano native (who will tell you he's from McKinney) is still just 21 years old. With nearly 100 games of experience under his belt, Acosta cemented himself as a full-time starter in 2016 and if he continues his career path, 2017 could be the year that Acosta becomes a household name in US Soccer.
There are big, big things destined for arguably the best Homegrown from a prolific academy but for, just sit back and enjoy the fluid two-way midfield play of Kellyn Acosta because you'll tell your kids you saw him play one day.
2. Open an Argentine steakhouse
OK, I stole this one from our good friend and radio voice Steve Davis. Between Mauro Diaz, Maxi Urruti and Javier Morales, I could probably put my future kids through college…or at least as Brad C Tweeted in response we can open a yerba mate store. Might be cheaper.
3. Follow FC Dallas players as they look to qualify for World Cup 2018
Amazingly enough, FIFA World Cup 2018 is getting closer and closer with CONCACAF into the final qualifying stages. Maynor Figueroa(Honduras), Jose Salvatierra(Costa Rica) and Carlos Gruezo(Ecuador) are all established internationals with their countries who are looking to once again qualify for the World Cup while players like Kellyn Acosta, Matt Hedges and Walker Zimmerman will be looking to make their cases to get into the picture for the United States. Whatever country you cheer for, it's a huge year for international soccer.
4. Come ready from day one
Starting hot has never really been an issue for FC Dallas who is 9-1-2 in the month of March under Oscar Pareja, but 2017 will be a pre-season unlike any other as the season truly starts on February 23rd with the home-and-home CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal vs Arabe Unido of Panama. Should Dallas win that, they will play the winner of Saprissa-Pachuca with the first leg coming between March 14th and 16th. Put it all together and you could have seven competitive matches before April 1st.
5. Convince Ryan Hollingshead to bring the man-bun back
C'mon man. Please.
6. Double down on youth
We know FC Dallas has always trended young with the Homegrown system, but in the 2016-2017 offseason, they've gotten even younger. As it currently stands, just three players on the FCD roster are aged 30 or over (Atiba Harris, Maynor Figueroa & Javier Morales), while a stunning 11 players are 23 years old or younger.
7. Find a good option on the wing opposite Michael Barrios
One of the finds of the season in MLS in 2015, Michael Barrios scored 16 goals for FC Dallas in MLS play since July 4th, 2015, but since the departure of Fabian Castillo life was tough for the diminutive Colombian. Without a dangerous option on the opposite wing, Barrios had just three goals and one assist in his last 15 games of the season. FC Dallas has brought in Belgian speedster Roland Lamah as well as Ecuadorian outside back Anibal Chala with the hopes of re-igniting that left wing.
8. Let the new Homegrowns breathe
FC Dallas made quite a splash in the Homegrown market this fall signing four players from the USSDA National Championship teams in Reggie Cannon, Jesus Ferreira, Paxton Pomykal and Bryan Reynolds with Ferreira and Reynolds both breaking the records for youngest player in franchise history. It's easy to want to fast-track these young prospects to the pros, but it's important to be patient with these youngsters. That Dallas Cup team will certainly be fun to watch though…
9. Get yourself a Walker Zimmerman jersey
Still just 23 years old, 2016 will always be remembered as the year where Walker Zimmerman went from potential to a full-blooded MLS professional. Zimmerman made 30 MLS starts for the club and tied for the MLS lead among defenders with four goals. He is rumored to be headed to USMNT camp in January and much like Acosta, if Zimmerman can continue his upward progression in 2017, you're looking at a guy who could form a partnership with Matt Hedges that features the two best center backs in MLS.
10. Support local soccer coverage
We are very blessed in Dallas to have some of the best local soccer coverage in any city around the country. On the radio side, you've got The Kickaround, ESPN Soccer Today and The 19th Minute which are great live but if you can't catch them on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning provide some amazing podcast material to get you through until the next FC Dallas game. On the digital side, you've got 3rd Degree covering all the news, Big D Soccer with some amazing analysis and a host of others giving FCD plenty of love. Support those who cover us and let's grow this thing together!
11. Watch Carlos Gruezo for an entire match
Perhaps the most underrated signing in MLS in 2016 was Ecuadorian midfielder Carlos Gruezo. The second-youngest player to have started a match at the 2014 FIFA World Cup, Gruezo is simply a joy to watch for the soccer purist. He's not going to make the flashy play that gets on Sportscenter or the MLS Plays of the Week, but what he does is put himself in the perfect position every time. My favorite way to describe it is he's playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers. In 2017, go to a home game and just watch him even if it's for only 30 minutes. His movement off the ball, the way he reads the way plays develop and breaks them down while perfectly distributing the ball up the field…just watch and enjoy.
12. Give Atiba Harris a hug the next time you see him
This guy is a treasure to have in Dallas. He's doing amazing work in the community and stepping up at big times on the field. There's a lot of competition in 2017 with probably the deepest roster this squad has ever had but Atiba will be right there in the mix.
13. Get your passport up-to-date
As I mentioned earlier, FC Dallas is going to be busy from day one preparing for CONCACAF Champions League and their participation in the 2017-2018 edition has already been assured as well. With a deep roster and now a player like Javier Morales to come in and fill in for Mauro Diaz, FCD is primed for a deep run. They'll visit Panama for sure and will have either Costa Rica or Mexico awaiting them if they can advance from there with further international trips planned for the second half of the season. Why not take a trip yourself and follow the team on the road for an unforgettable adventure?! Get those passports updated.
14. Break the Homegrown record
One of the most memorable games of the Oscar Pareja era was in 2015 when FC Dallas won 3-0 at Columbus Crew SC while starting an MLS record five Homegrown players. With all the matches coming in 2017 as FCD again competes in three tournaments, the chance could be there to try and break that record and start six Homegrowns in a game. There are currently ten Homegrown players on the FCD roster.
15. Give the gift of FC Dallas
If you're reading this, you know how great this team and the experience at Toyota Stadium is, but perhaps your friends have not drank the kool-aid yet. Get them out to the home opener and they'll be hooked.

When I place this image into InDesign to produce some print work, I've created a palette of C 75 M 68 Y67 K90 which is shown as the equivalent of RGB 000 in the color picker. When I render this as a PDF though the blacks do not match. After playing about for a while the one palette I found that appears to match is Registration, though I've been told never to use this.

Thousands of refugees could soon arrive on the doorsteps of author J.K. Rowling's many mansions – if she accepts the offers of several Twitter users looking to cough up the money for plane tickets, that is.
How did this magnificent outpouring of humanitarianism come about, you ask?
Well, not long prior, J.K. Rowling had been involved in a Twitter spat with Piers Morgan.
The very anti-Trump Rowling, who has been pushing the UK to take in more Syrian refugees, tweeted the following amid the battle, apparently in reference to Piers Morgan's stance on President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown.
.@piersmorgan Would you like a couple of hours to mock up some pictures of refugees carrying explosives to substantiate your position? https://t.co/sFj0kqIajd

Many Twitter users responded to that tweet criticizing Rowling.

Not long after, 'Gorilla Mindset' author Mike Cernovich offered to front some of the money required to fly refugees out to live with J.K. Rowling.
Hi @jk_rowling, I will personally buy plane tickets for up to 100 refugees to live in your mansions for a year. How do we make this happen?
— Mike Cernovich ???????? (@Cernovich) February 12, 2017
Things quickly took off and others joined in.

J.K. Rowling has yet to respond to the outpouring of kindness from Twitter users.
With houses like this one and a heart as big as hers, however, it's hard to imagine she'll say no.

I am loathe to condemn the editorial positions of other newspapers.
For one thing, every paper should have a voice, even it isn't singing
the same song as me.
For another, I'm not always in lock step with my own newspaper's
positions. But I don't burst into print every time I'm at odds with
my colleagues. A diversity of opinions is something to be embraced,
not shunned.
I have worked on the editorial pages of three newspapers on my
resume. At each and every one of them, writers are expected to
provide the evidence on which they base their opinions, often before
they lay finger on keyboard.
These standards apparently don't apply at the UT, however, a paper
which circulates in San Diego.
It used to be the Union Tribune, a Pulitzer Prize-winning publication
before it was bought by real estate investor Doug Manchester who has
dumbed down the name and content.
In a recent editorial entitled "Obama in 2016? A Choice for America!"
we are told by the UT that if the President is re-elected, "Israel
will be attacked by the surrounding Arab terror states as the U.S.
retreats from Israel's defense. Israel's very existence will be in
And that as far as taxes are concerned, "Californians will be paying
60 to 70 percent of their income. But 65 percent of Californians will
pay no tax at all. "
And that " ...with Obamacare, if you are over 65, a ride to Mexico
will become commonplace, as there will be rationed care in the U.S.
Death panels and other rationing plans will limit care."
And that "As Obama's war on God and life continues, we predict an
effort to have late-term abortions paid for by taxpayers – even at a
time when more than 60 percent of America believes there should be
restrictions on abortion. We ask: Who stands for the life and rights
of the child?"
And that "We even predict an effort to get "In God we Trust" removed
from U.S. symbols, including our money."
Israel under siege? Death panels? A war on God? Dollars without
deity? What, no plagues of frogs, locusts and boils?
This reminds me of the e-mails you get from your crazy uncle usually
entitled WAKE UP AMERICA! offering "proof" that Obama is a radical
Muslim, a non-citizen whose mother was a transvestite and who is in
fact the anti-Christ as described in the Book of Revelations (all of
which were actually in circulation on the Internet).
Except this isn't the handiwork of a goofy zealot with a laptop. This
is the considered opinion of a major newspaper.
There is no supporting evidence to back up the UT's claims other than
a vague reference to "several economists" who go unnamed. No one is
quoted. No research is cited.
The problem here is not that the UT dislikes Obama. Lots of people
do. The problem is that the UT's editors have resorted to
fear-mongering to make the case against the President.
There are issues they could cite to make a case for change. Instead,
they have chosen to instill fear and loathing in their readers, using
a toxic mix of outrageous claims and political paranoia that Mitt
Romney himself wouldn't touch.
It's a throwback to the "yellow journalism" of William Randolph
Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer in which "facts" were invented to inflame
the public.
According to the New York Times, none of this should come as a
"The UT San Diego often seems like a brochure for (Manchester's) various
interests," it wrote.
"Mr. Manchester is anti-big government, anti-tax and anti-gay
marriage. And he's in favor of a remade San Diego centered around a
new downtown waterfront stadium and arena.
"Public agencies that have not gotten the hint have found themselves
investigated in the news pages of The UT. A sports columnist who was
skeptical of the plans found himself out of a job, and the newspaper
has published front-page editorials and wraparound sections to
promote political allies who share its agenda.
"According to several employees at the paper, a feature called
'Making a Difference' has included flattering profiles of many of Mr.
Manchester's associates."
The Times wonders if the UT reflects the future of journalism, one in
which "moneyed interests buy papers and use them to prosecute a
political and commercial agenda."
This is not a new business model. Many papers in the early to mid-20th Century
were run that way. Some still are.
But if indeed we stand on the threshold of a world where newspapers
once again engage in wholesale misrepresentation of the facts to
feather their owner's nests, we have a lot more to fear than Barack
We need to fear Doug Manchester.

I have my own thoughts on this but I'd first like to hear what other people think.
sort by best latest
Okay, so you have two questions. I'll answer both.
Yes, I do keep my word. Whenever I tell someone I'm going to do something, I do it. If I make a plan with someone and someone else asks me to do something that interferes with the first commitment, I politely tell the second person that I'm already commited to something else.
As for your second question, why I feel it's important? Two reasons...
Keeping my word is one of the few things in life that I have control over. And I feel really good that people in my life know when I say something is going to happen, it will indeed happen. I never take that away from them.
There's another question you didn't ask... How do I keep my word?
Easy. I never make a commitment when I have any doubt about keeping it.
There are only extreme cases where commitments have to be broken, or plans get changed. Such as a death in the family. Or weather conditions. Or flight delays. These are things that should always be understood and accepted.

A 26-year-old man was arrested Monday for the part he played in a violent attack on innocent bystanders during a protest in Albuquerque last week.
Protests broke out in the city after the jury was hung concerning the murder cases of two officers involved in the March 2014 shooting death of James Boyd, a homeless man with a history of mental illness and violence who was killed while camping in the Sandia foothills.
The incident concerning the protesters unfolded as the victim and his girlfriend were going out for dinner the evening of Oct. 12. Unbeknown to the victim, protesters gathered on a street on which he had planned to drive. But when the victim realized what was happening, he quickly tried to remove himself from what he perceived as a potentially volatile situation.
According to a statement from the Albuquerque Police Department, the driver said the protest "appeared to be violent." The man immediately tried to get out of the area, but was met by angry protesters who blocked his car and yelled obscenities. The man told police that within moments his vehicle was surrounded and he began to fear for the safety of himself and his girlfriend.
The driver continued to creep forward, hoping to get to safety, but two of the protesters started striking the victim's car. In fact, one of the protesters, who was later identified as Benjamin Thomas Imbus, struck the vehicle so hard that it broke the sign he was holding.
The victim became increasingly concerned about he and his girlfriend's safety, pulled a gun, and aimed it at Imbus. But still, Imbus continued to strike the hood, windshield and driver's side door of the man's vehicle, causing several thousand dollars worth of damage.
Eventually, the victim saw an opportunity to get out of the crowd and sped away. Neither he or his girlfriend were injured.
Imbus, who is a teacher at John Adams Middle School in Albuquerque, was arrested and charged with criminal damage to private property and other misdemeanor charges. He is currently on leave without pay.
