One lawmaker called for an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission, citing concerns Price could have violated the STOCK Act, a 2012 law signed by President Obama that clarified that members of Congress cannot use nonpublic information for profit and requires them to promptly disclose their trades.

Not a day goes by that we shouldn't be violently slapping Trump voters
Just when we think we have reached the lowest depths and the incompetence can't sink any further.
Of course Trump can't handle someone like Chancellor Merkel…we know how he feels about strong women
SMDH…..The German media getting ready to FEAST on this dumb muthafucka.
Colleague says that a Secret Service agent's laptop was stolen and on it was the plans for Drumpf Tower.
plans like what? security for his place?
Blueprints marked-up with security plans, presumably.
But Trump said to "ask Fox" about where the bogus wiretapping claim came from…….
For all those people who wanted PBO to be: emotional for the cameras, a HOTEP, a militant, speak on unsubstantiated claims that were floating on the internet, insert his opinion during critical high profile judicial cases, there is one thing to be thankful about Trump.
He shows us EXACTLY why we appreciated PBO's cautiousness, his professionalism, his careful choice of words on all matters, his utilization of facts instead of relying on blogs from any political persuasion. Our government is actually investigating claims that this Twitter hoe put out there without any solid evidence to back up other than what some right wing nut said. Foreign intelligence services are having to rebut Napolitano on Fox News and tell the Trump administration not to spread their lies. And folks liked Trump's "say what he wants" attitude.
Phuck very single person, from twitter activists to elsewhere who said PBO was too careful…Do y'all see why now?

March 17, 2017: Steve Harvey took to his radio show this morning and BLASTED Snoop Dogg and other African American entertainers for speaking out against the racist policies of Donald Trump.
Here's the exchange:
"The problem with all this [criticism of Trump] is. Is that there is an office in this country called the "President", and you have to respect the office.
You really do. Whether you want to or not. They got laws."
He still has listeners?
Probably none that will admit they do.
No, they ain't got laws, to follow your syntax, Steve Harvey. If they did, surely, they would have been enforced during the Obama Presidency, right?

Steve, why don't you suck the orange shitgibbon's dick and be done with it?
Steve Harvey must be suffering from a serious case of AMNESIA! Has he forgotten the fact that Mr. Pussygrabber launched his bid for the presidency by disrespecting the sitting President? By the way, there is absolutely no way I would ever respect a white supremacists who has surrounded himself with some of the most vile white supremacists, like Bannon and Miller.
I've lost all respect for Steve Harvey.

I'm sick of some of these idiotic Trumpkins sending memes about the Obama administration spying on Germany/Angela Merkel. Every country even allies do some form of spying. This isn't something new and the NSA and CIA have been doing this for years. You have to be really stupid to not believe that countries don't spy on one another. Just because Snowden said it doesn't make it a new revelation, and it doesn't justify Trump blatantly lying.
She had to school him on all this right in front of everybody??
I thought it was in a phone call they had when he first assumed the office. If that was something else, it's just one long lesson for him, innit?
I'll never forgive you for this.

For all those "black people need to work with Trump"…
Trump's Hedge Fund Backer, Robert Mercer, opposed the Civil Rights Act – says only blacks are racist.
March 27, 2017 ISSUE
Patterson also recalled Mercer arguing that, during the Gulf War, the U.S. should simply have taken Iraq's oil, "since it was there." Trump, too, has said that the U.S. should have "kept the oil." Expropriating another country's natural resources is a violation of international law. Another onetime senior employee at Renaissance recalls hearing Mercer downplay the dangers posed by nuclear war. Mercer, speaking of the atomic bombs that the U.S. dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, argued that, outside of the immediate blast zones, the radiation actually made Japanese citizens healthier. The National Academy of Sciences has found no evidence to support this notion. Nevertheless, according to the onetime employee, Mercer, who is a proponent of nuclear power, "was very excited about the idea, and felt that it meant nuclear accidents weren't such a big deal."
Mercer strongly supported the nomination of Jeff Sessions to be Trump's Attorney General. Many civil-rights groups opposed the nomination, pointing out that Sessions has in the past expressed racist views. Mercer, for his part, has argued that the Civil Rights Act, in 1964, was a major mistake. According to the onetime Renaissance employee, Mercer has asserted repeatedly that African-Americans were better off economically before the civil-rights movement. (Few scholars agree.) He has also said that the problem of racism in America is exaggerated. The source said that, not long ago, he heard Mercer proclaim that there are no white racists in America today, only black racists. (Mercer, meanwhile, has supported a super pac, Black Americans for a Better Future, whose goal is to "get more Blacks involved in the Republican Party.")

As far as I am concerned, Robert Mercer can go to hell! After all, Mercer is no different from slave owners who vigorously argued that SLAVERY was "GOOD" for the enslaved Africans. In the decades before the Civil War, they even picked loyal slaves, who claimed that slavery was "good" for the slaves, to go to the North to oppose the growing Anti-Slavery Movement.
I am 71 years and I know fully well that under the Jim Crow system, African Americans were NOT "better-off economically before the civil-rights movement." They were also not better-off politically, legally and socially, before the Civil Rights Movement. Any one who says otherwise is a liar and fraud! So many people sacrificed and died in the Civil Rights movement to bring an end to overt white racism in all spheres of American society. It took centuries for America to build a system based on "white supremacy." Although the heroic Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s, made significant strides in trying to dismantle the "white supremacist" system, the system proved to be deeply entrenched and thus hard to dismantle! People like Robert Mercer, with tons of money, were just as determined to preserve the system of "white supremacy." And, like slave owners before the Civil War, sophiscated "white supremacists," worked very hard to entice some blacks, by promising them individual financial rewards, to help them restore the pre-civil rights system, which was based on "White Supremacy."
Robert Mercer is hell bent on invalidating the sacrifices of people like W.E. B. Dubois, Paul Robeson, Charles H. Houston, Thurgood Marshall, Rosa Parks, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., E.D. Nixon, Amzee Moore, Medgar Evers, Michael Schewrner, James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, John Lewis, Fannie Lou Hamer, Ella Baker, James Meredith, Malcom X, Stokely Carmichael, Jimmie Lee Jackson, Viola Liuzzo, Bob Moses, and hundreds of others to many to list, who truly changed this
country to make it possible for the election of a Black President.
I don't care what any one, white or black, says! The vast majority of Black people were not better-off (economically, politically and socially) during the Jim Crow period. That's not to say that Black people had not created institutions that enabled them to survive the oppression they faced, and even produce individuals who were economically well-off.
This kneegrow here….y'all………..this fool..after the Trump Congressional address weeks ago…really??
Don't Become the Thing You're Fighting
Isaac Chotiner: You said a few days ago that you're concerned Trump is driving liberals insane. What did you mean by that?
Van Jones: I mean that there are two ways that Trump can be normalized. One is for us just to get used to him saying crazy things, lying, and attacking people, and that's a big danger. There's a more insidious danger, which is a danger of his becoming normalized at an emotional and social level. He is completely fear driven, he is completely polarizing, he is completely caught up in his own drama, and I'm starting to see liberals act the same way. We're almost trying to fight polarization with polarization at this point, and I'm afraid that we're feeding what we're fighting.
OK, but when you say you don't want liberals to become like Trump, what specifically are you worried about?
A complete inability to self-reflect. I'm concerned that introspection, nuance, complexity are usually the hallmarks of liberals, and I'm seeing a death of that capacity. We are now as black and white as I've ever seen us, and more willing to engage in a kind of bigotry than I've ever seen. Every person who voted for Trump is, by definition, an ignorant, mouth-breathing, toothless idiot and a bigot, every single person. If you don't agree with that, then you're enabling or normalizing Trump. Well, that's not a very nuanced, sophisticated view of the world or of human beings and it sounds like Trump.
I think people forget leaders have a tremendous impact on the culture. When Reagan was in office, everybody wanted to run to Wall Street and make a bunch of money. When Kennedy was in office, people went to join the Peace Corps. When Obama was in office, you had a real backlash, but during that eight years, you went from people being afraid to even say the word marriage equality to it being a fact. You have to be very careful, when somebody gets that level of power, that it doesn't begin to affect you in ways that you can't track. What I'm saying is that progressives need to be better progressives. We need to fight even harder for what we believe in, but how we're fighting needs to be aligned with our own principles.
Card carrying Nazis are White House aides and he wants us to be concerned with the feelings of Trump voters?
Van Jones is another con man trying to make money during the trump presidency. Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't recall right wingers, and especially teabaggers, urging their supporters to be sympathetic/concerned with the feelings of President Obama voters. For 8 years, Republican right wingers, as well as many of the so called Republican moderates, were united in opposing everything President Obama tried to do to improve the lives of Americans. Sadly, they were joined by the "holier than thou purity progressives" who waged a vicious and relentless campaign against President Obama because, in their eyes, he was not a "pure progressive."
Here we are with a president who is carrying out the agenda of "White Supremacists" and were are being asked to empathize with the people who voted for him. Sorry! I am from the old school! I have absolutely no sympathy with "white supremacists" who regard me as the enemy, and are determined deny me my human rights and my rights as an American citizen.
For 8 years, Donald Trump was bent on delegitimizing our first Black President. It's his "birtherism" that was the basis of his run for the presidency! The vast majority of his supporters were motivated by their desire to invalidate our first Black President! But here comes some grafting blacks urging me to empathize with Trump voters who voted for him because they wanted to restore "white supremacy."
Hell No! I refuse to participate in legitimizing the ideology and practice of "white supremacy."
Van Jones is such a sad ass coon. Once again… You're whining about the feelings of Trump voters and worrying about people being nice to them while the people who didn't ask for any of this shit are worrying about how they'll survive this farce and these draconian budget cuts?
Really kneegrow? I'm tired of these simps. So tired.
I'm really trying to understand this logic of using all this empathy and understanding on the people who voted for this as opposed to the people who DIDNT.

— – –Florida's governor has rebuked Orlando's top prosecutor and transferred from her authority a case involving the slaying of a police officer after she announced her opposition to the death penalty.
Signaling he wants the killing of Orlando Police Lt. Debra Clayton to be prosecuted as a capital case, Republican Gov. Rick Scott transferred the first-degree murder case of suspect Markeith Loyd out of the office of State Attorney Aramis Ayala. The case was reassigned to another prosecutor in a nearby district.
Ayala's unusual stance against capital punishment surprised and angered many, including her city's police chief. But the prosecutor stood firm, saying she concluded after a review that there's no evidence that executing criminals improves public safety.
"I have given this issue extensive, painstaking thought and
consideration," Ayala said at a news conference Thursday. "What has
become abundantly clear through this process is that while I do have
discretion to pursue death sentences, I have determined that doing so is not in the best interests of this community or in the best interests of justice."
Scott immediately asked the prosecutor to recuse herself from the case, but she refused.

Not "leaders"…just Trump – oh well, his staff too.
CNN's Brian Stelter targeted President Donald Trump on Friday over his reliance on Fox News commentators.
Moments after the president concluded a news conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Stelter hyped that "we're stuck in this conservative media ditch where the president is relying on something that may or may not have actually been reliable."
The media reporter also asserted that the president "doesn't seem know the difference between an opinion commentator saying something on an opinion show — relying on sources that are apparently wrong — versus real reporting. And it's just not a good look for any political leader to be doing that."
Anchor Wolf Blitzer then pointed out that White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer cited Fox News host Sean Hannity during Thursday's press briefing. Stelter underlined that Hannity is a "pro-Trump partisan" and "entertainer, in some ways."
The Reliable Sources host emphasized, however, that the real issue was "the President's media literacy." He explained that "when [Trump] is watching television in the morning or at the end of the day — consuming these opinion shows, hearing these ideas that he wants to believe because they seem to support his point of view — he is then sharing that; his aides are then sharing that; it's trickling all around the world; and, in this case, creating an international incident."
In Twitter timeline of that comparison of President Obama and Orange Menace, someone posted this graphic to represent her feelings about where we are, policy wise:
That's the beauty of West Wing staff. They can brief you on all the particular nuances of any leader that you are meeting, so that understanding is achieved on all sides.
Oh wait…
Left to his own devices, Trump would be eating with his feet within 3 months.

Trump May Not Want Refugees, but Rust Belt Mayors Do
March 17, 2017, 5:00 AM EDT
In 1997, refugee Alem Boric and a partner started Europa Market, 600 square feet of Bosnia in St. Louis.
Today, what began as a corner store in the city's Bevo Mill neighborhood is a 96,000-square-foot (8,900-square-meter) juggernaut that distributes smoked meats, cheeses, cakes and Croatian jams from the former Yugoslavia, Germany, Italy and Greece to 28 U.S. states. The company, now up to 45 employees, has seen its revenue double annually for the past several years.
In the suburbs and countryside of Rust Belt swing states, President Donald Trump's anti-immigrant message may have carried the day, but in St. Louis and the rest of the region's dilapidated, post-industrial cities, it's anathema. Immigrants represent rebirth:
They've stabilized neighborhoods, cushioned city coffers and, in the process, supported credit ratings and bond sales. Mayors from Detroit to Cleveland — as well as northeastern cities like Albany, New York, and Lowell, Massachusetts — see financial salvation in these newest Americans and are dismayed by Trump's drive to tighten the borders.

There's a town in South Jersey called Riverside that had a large influx of Latino immigrants about 10-12 years ago. Enough of them had come in that they opened a number of businesses, rented housing, bring a boon to the local economy that had gone flat.
Of course a lot of the white residents weren't having it and made a concerted push to make them leave. Long story short, most of the Latino population left in droves, resulting in shuttered businesses and a decline in Riverside's economy. And the punchline is that in a matter of months the Great Recession happened.
Riverside is still trying to recover.

Last May, former President Barack Obama pressed Congress for emergency funds for the city, which included the $100 million to repair Flint's water system. In December, Congress passed water infrastructure legislation to provide the money, which Obama promptly signed.
The funds will allow Flint to accelerate and expand its work to replace lead service lines and make other critical infrastructure improvements.

Kids on winning robotics team told, 'Go back to Mexico'
The Indianapolis Star 12:10 p.m. ET March 17, 2017
INDIANAPOLIS — The day should have been one of glory and celebration for five fourth-graders.
The Pleasant Run Elementary students had just won a robotics challenge at Plainfield High School, and the students — new to bot competition this year — were one step closer to the Vex IQ State Championship.
Then racism got in the way.
For the record, their race or ethnicity shouldn't be a part of this story. But it is.
The team is made up of 9- and 10-year-olds. Two are African American and three are Latino.
As the group, called the Pleasant Run PantherBots, and their parents left the challenge last month in Plainfield, Ind., competing students from other Indianapolis-area schools and their parents were waiting for them in the parking lot.
"Go back to Mexico!" two or three kids screamed at their brown-skin peers and their parents.
This verbal attack had spilled over from the gymnasium. While the children were competing, one or two parents disparaged the Pleasant Run kids with racist comments — and loud enough for the Pleasant Run families to hear.
"They were pointing at us and saying that 'Oh my God, they are champions of the city all because they are Mexican. They are Mexican, and they are ruining our country,' " Diocelina Herrera, the mother of PantherBot Angel Herrera-Sanchez, heard a woman say.
If you allow racism and hate to dictate these things, minority students from the east side of the city, poor kids from a Title I school, aren't supposed to be smart. They aren't supposed to be talented. They aren't supposed to be technologically savvy.
And they definitely aren't supposed to be able to best white students from surrounding communities.
"For the most part, the robotics world is kind of a white world," said Lisa Hopper, the team's coach and a Pleasant Run second-grade teacher. "They're just not used to seeing a team like our kids.
"And they see us and they think we're not going to be competition. Then we're in first place the whole day, and they can't take it," she said.

3 Latino and 2 Black?
Yeah, we know why they mad
The essence of white supremacy, can't handle competition. Starts young.
Congrats to these brilliant young engineers. Goes to show that we must protect our children from physical, psychological and emotional attacks.

*blink* Yeah…………we wouldn't want to be too "earth-centric" now would we?
POLITICO Magazine@POLITICOMag
Trump's budget cuts @NASA climate research, dismissing it as overly "Earth-centric."
Trump isn't just attacking programs with bipartisan support; he's attacking programs with the support of his own Cabinet. Trump's transportation secretary, Elaine Chao, testified at her confirmation hearing that she would push for more funding for an innovative grant program called TIGER, because she had been amazed by how much Republicans and Democrats all seemed to love it. Instead, Trump's budget would scrap TIGER. Similarly, Trump's energy secretary, Rick Perry, tweeted last week that a similarly popular cutting-edge research agency called ARPA-E was "key to advancing America's energy economy." Trump's budget would kill ARPA-E, too. And Trump's defense secretary, James Mattis, told Congress that climate change was a serious national security threat, a driver of global instability that "requires a broader, whole-of-government response." Trump's budget promptly launched a whole-of-government attack on climate and clean energy programs, including NASA climate research it dismissed as overly "Earth-centric."
So it should be… Mars centric? Alpha Centuri?

These Women Started a Company to Teach White People How to Be Less Racist
Since the safety pin trend launched after the election, a lot of people have tried to profit from it — from Etsy artisans to luxury brands. But amidst the corporations trying to figure out how to capitalize on white Americans' desire to broadcast their solidarity in the Trump era, one company is doing something different: Safety Pin Box is the brainchild of two women of color who were frustrated with the superficial display of white activism. If white people really wanted to be allies, they wondered, would they be willing to do more than pin a piece of metal to their shirts? And if so, what would that look like?
Marissa Jenae Johnson and Leslie Mac created Safety Pin Box to find out. The monthly subscription service challenges its users to do more with their outrage than display it, and in exchange for $50–$100 a month (depending on the program) receive not a pin, not a pussy hat, but a lesson about racial bias and a task to tackle it. Plus, their cash contributions fund black-women activists, in an attempt at reparations. Three months later, Safety Pin Box has 800 subscribers and has contributed nearly $21,000 to Black Women Being. Both Johnson and Mac have quit their jobs to focus on the project full time.

HA! Good for them!
I saw notice of a webinar in which the imperative is for white men in the corporate world to do the hard work on diversity and lessening racism. Someone from GM (old economy) and a tech firm (newer economy) were leading the conversation.
i remember the neckbeard dudebros attacking them, yapping about it should be for free. meanwhile they were praising white lib folks making money doing whatever

At least 63 individuals w/Russ passports or addresses have bought nearly $100 million worth of Trump property in Fla
– – -http://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-trump-property/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=Social
– — During the 2016 presidential campaign, Donald J. Trump downplayed his business ties with Russia. And since taking office as president, he has been even more emphatic.
"I can tell you, speaking for myself, I own nothing in Russia," President Trump said at a news conference last month. "I have no loans in Russia. I don't have any deals in Russia."
But in the United States, members of the Russian elite have invested in Trump buildings. A Reuters review has found that at least 63 individuals with Russian passports or addresses have bought at least $98.4 million worth of property in seven Trump-branded luxury towers in southern Florida, according to public documents, interviews and corporate records.

Trump's media diet causes global heartburn
The president and his aides' habit of ripping from right-wing media is offending foreign allies and flummoxing fellow Republicans.
President Donald Trump's habit of repeating controversial claims from conservative media outlets — and refusing to apologize when he's called out for a lack of evidence — is repeatedly landing the White House in hot water, irritating Republicans and alienating foreign allies.
The White House touched off an international incident this week when press secretary Sean Spicer, berating reporters during the briefing on Thursday, cited comments from a Fox News commentator who accused former President Barack Obama of using the British spy agency to surveil Trump Tower.
The Brits were not pleased. The typically close-lipped British spy agency fired off a strongly worded statement, calling the allegation "utterly ridiculous." The White House had to try to calm irate British diplomats, with Spicer and national security adviser H.R. McMaster getting an earful from British officials.
It was hardly an isolated incident.
Trump has racked up a series of scandals that have sprung from his apparently voracious consumption of conservative media, both from watching Fox News and from aides sharing with him reports from Breitbart and other right-wing outlets. And as the fallout has spread each time, Trump has refused to admit any wrongdoing.
The president set off a furor in Sweden when he seemed to claim the country had just suffered a terrorist attack — a statement that appeared to spring from a Fox News interview with documentary filmmaker Ami Horowitz about a crime surge in the country. Swedish officials angrily issued public statements that no such attack had happened.
After Fox News ran a segment about Guantanamo Bay, Trump falsely tweeted: "122 vicious prisoners, released by the Obama Administration from Gitmo, have returned to the battlefield." Only a fraction of those detainees were released under Obama; most had been released under President George W. Bush. (Spicer later said Trump "obviously" was referring to the total released under both presidents.)

While treating patients as a radiation oncologist at the University of Chicago, Dr. Andrew Howard noticed that many didn't seem to understand their diagnoses. Beyond being understandably unable to take IN all the information — something common when hearing upsetting news — many were mixing up basic information about their treatment, like chemotherapy versus radiation.

Georgia's sixth-ranked gymnastics team isn't exactly easing into its demanding schedule.
The Gym Dogs have competed only once thus far, winning a quad meet last Saturday against No. 16 Denver, Air Force and BYU.
By this time next week, they'll be preparing for meet No. 5.
Their streak of three meets in seven days begins today, when third-ranked Utah will threaten Georgia's 34-meet unbeaten streak at Stegeman Coliseum. The Gym Dogs will then take a day off before West Virginia visits on Monday, followed by a home date against Auburn next Friday.
"We train that way because at the national championships, it's a three-day format," said Georgia's second-year coach Jay Clark. "You want to introduce a little of that kind of back-to-back mentality to a team. I think that's a healthy thing to do in most cases."
It isn't Clark's preference to squeeze three meets into a week's time. However, this would traditionally be the right place on the schedule for a team to attempt such a grind, before the wear and tear of the season begins to affect the gymnasts' bodies.
There's just one problem with that philosophy for Georgia's team today: the Gym Dogs already lost freshman Kaylan Earls to a season-ending injury and several other competitors are recovering from nagging injuries.
"If we have to do those things, we try to put them early because theoretically, that's when you're the healthiest. It hasn't really worked out that way for us this year, but in theory, that's when you want to do it," Clark said with a frustrated laugh.
Still, the meets will be a good test for the Gym Dogs on both the physical and mental fronts.
With such little turnaround between today's meet and the one on Monday afternoon, the team won't have time to fine-tune much. They'll have to regroup quickly and stay confident that the work they put in during preseason practice has prepared them to compete again.
"It's definitely more mental than the training," said senior Hilary Mauro, an all-American on balance beam last year. "Rest is so important because we compete every single weekend, and with these three meets especially, we need the rest in between so we can have lots of energy and be ready to go for the meet.
"It's a lot of mental stuff and just knowing what you're capable of, what we did all fall and how we've trained and that we can go out there and hit our routines."
Considering the difficulty of the regular-season schedule that awaits Georgia, it might be for the best that the Gym Dogs jump into competition with both feet.
Of the 14 teams on Georgia's schedule, 10 reside among the nation's top 25 - including No. 1 Florida, co-No. 3s Utah and Michigan, No. 5 UCLA, No. 9 Alabama and No. 10 Arkansas.
But Mauro said the Gym Dogs' strength of schedule is actually a positive, as it helps reinforce the lesson that the gymnasts must focus on their team and individual routines rather than pay attention to the opponent.
"We talk about it a lot in our meetings that it doesn't matter what team we're competing against," Mauro said. "We try to treat them the same way and we're more competing against ourself every meet and trying to get better every meet rather than focusing on the (opponent)."
"It's actually good that we have a lot of good teams because it seems like teams that compete against lower teams, sometimes you're thinking that it's not as good of a team, so you don't have to be as much on top of your game."
That, Clark said, is the more intentional element of Georgia's scheduling philosophy than this week's trio of meets.
There's no better way to sharpen the team's performance or to know how the Gym Dogs might fare against the nation's top programs in the NCAA Championships than to face them head-to-head during the season.
"That's something that we've always tried to do is compete against most, if not all, of the very best teams in the country that we think we'll see later down the road, and not really take any meets off," Clark said. "It just prepares you better for nationals, I think. There are years where that'll bite you in the butt, but over the long haul, I think that's a good philosophy to adhere to."

6) Read the test and answer the following questions:
Gregor Mendel was an Austrian and Augustinian priest and scientist often called the "father of genetics" for his study of the inheritance of traits in pea plants. He was inspired by both his professors of university and his colleagues at the monastery to study variations in plants, and he concluded his study in the monastery's garden. Mendel showed that the inheritance of traits follows particular laws, which were later named after him. His experiments brought forth two generalizations which later became known as Mendel's Laws of Inheritance. The significance of Mendel's work was not recognized until the turn of the 20th century. Its rediscovery prompted the foundation of genetics.
1) How was Mendel called?
2) What did Mendel study?
3) What did Mendel show?
4) Who was Mendel inspired by?
5) How did the experiments of Mendel become known?
6) When was Mendel's work recognized?

Hub eateries score with apple cider drinks and dishes
Seeds of success
The house cider rules.
These days, there's not a kitchen or bar around Boston that doesn't have a food or drink infused with the mulled apple concoction on its menu.
Enjoy the cider-glazed roasted pork shoulder for dinner at Tryst in Arlington, then grab cider doughnuts at the Met Back Bay.
Later, sip a cider sour at Restaurant Dante in Boston. Save room for the griddle pain perdu with cider- cranberry reduction at City Landing.
"Dare I say it was running like hotcakes," said Bill Brodsky, the City Landing chef/owner who just put the cider-infused dish on the menu two weeks ago. "This is more hard-core than any waffle or pancake you'll ever eat."
Brodsky said the cider — mulled fresh from Carlson Orchards in Harvard — gives the dish dimension.
"You don't really suffer what's known as palate fatigue," he said. "It sounds like it's a heavy dish, but because it's well-balanced, you find yourself eating the whole thing."
Equally popular is Deuxave's apple soup with creme fraiche sorbet. Said chef/owner Chris Coombs of the seasonal dessert: "It's something that's fun to wait for."
In making the cider, Coombs uses oddly shaped apples from a farmer in Dummerston, Vt., who grows what he describes as "funky heirloom varietals."
"It almost looks like a quince," he said, comparing the type to a premium baking apple in France.
When it comes to cider, it seems all recipes lead to France. That's where Boston Beer Co. gets the apples it uses for its Angry Orchard line of hard ciders.
"In Normandy and Brittany, it's part of the culture there. Cider is like craft beer here," said David Sipes, cider maker at Angry Orchard. "It provides some authenticity and distinguishes us."
The company launched three core (pun intended) styles last year to select markets, but the fast success prompted Boston Beer to take the ciders — crisp apple, traditional dry and apple ginger — national earlier this year. It also recently extended the line with Iceman and Strawman from its more exclusive Cider House collection.
"Iceman was inspired by ice cider of Quebec, where they leave apples on the trees for the first frost," Sipes said. "Strawman was patterned after French country cider. It goes well with cheeses, creamy dishes, crepes and galette."
He said hard cider aficionados follow similar drinking patterns as do wine drinkers.
"They're interested in ingredients and have more sophisticated palates," he said. "In the past, cider was likely to be consumed at a pub in a pint. Now it's more like wine in a glass."
Though most chefs commit to cider only as long as the apples fall from the trees, Sipes said Angry Orchard is thinking long-term.
"I don't think it will pigeonhole itself into a fall cider," he said. "We're looking at a lot of new flavors for holidays."

Recession, recession, everywhere we turn, we are reminded of this dreaded scenario. For those who are still shy to utter the word "recession," let's not kid ourselves anymore. The earlier we face up to the truth, the faster we are on the road to economic recovery.
The week actually didn't start off with a pall. On Monday, the bulls came charging back in Asian and European stock markets after China announced a $586 billion plan to stimulate its economy and leaders from the Group of 20 nations urged more cuts in interest rates and increase in spending. Sadly, the excitement lasted all of one day.
US stock market was consistent in its gloom. Stocks fell Wednesday for the third session in a row, with the Dow Jones tumbling over 400 points. In 3 days, we saw a 661 point drop, a strong testament of how recession fears have shaken investors. The CBOE Volatility (VIX) index reflected market jitters when it rose 8.2% to close at 66.5 – its highest level since Oct. 29.
The barrage of bad corporate news is overwhelming – huge losses (Fannie Mae and AIG), 300,000 job loss forecast and a distinct possibility of General Motors following the footsteps of Circuit City in seeking Chapter 11 protection.
US October car sales was down 32% from the previous year and GM attributed their hardships to "tight credit, rising unemployment, declining incomes, falling stock markets and deterioration in the housing market which resulted in an "abrupt halt" in consumer spending." This situation is typical of most businesses at the moment.
I believe a strong dose of Keynesian medicine is needed to revive the global economy and stem rising unemployment. The economy spirals downwards when businesses and consumers expect prices and wages to fall. People are naturally inclined to hoard money in difficult times but a vicious cycle develops as times become even more difficult when people hoard money.
If the situation goes unchecked, governments will then have to deal with a monster known as deflation which is a general drop in prices. In such a climate, cash is king as falling prices made our money more valuable. There is an incentive to hoard cash as people await prices to fall further and they can buy more for the same dollar. The overall effect on the GDP is dire and those who took on huge debts will suffer the most.
In a high inflationary environment, we are paying for debts with money which is devaluing fast. It makes financial sense to invest in housing or for that matter, anything which appreciates in value, but the reverse is true in deflation. You can read in greater detail the effects of deflation in this book – Cycles of Inflation and Deflation: Money, Debt, and the 1990s.
Deflation was the malaise which plagued Japan after the burst of its housing bubble and banking bad debts and it is a text book lesson for governments who waited too long to take action. When everybody hesitates to make huge purchases or investments, oversupply naturally occurs which force businesses into a price war to attract consumers. Waiting for the market to absorb the extra inventories and self-correct this phenomenon may take years or even a decade, assuming the worst.
Keynes states that if individuals refuse to spend regardless of how much the government expands its money supply, then the government should simply take the lead and spend. Keynes famously described this final government effort to reestablish the circular flow of money as "priming the pump" of the economy.
Keynes's theories have been accused of being "too simple" but they have withstood the test of time. He encouraged governments to invest in infrastructure or put more money into the hands of consumers by reducing interest rates. A multiplier effect happens when the initial stimulation of capital is injected into the economy. This in turn sparks more production, investment and savings and the total increase in economic activity will be a multiple of the original investment.
According to Keynes, in a recession, there is no evil in budget deficits. Conversely, to suppress inflation in boom times, governments should increase taxes or cut back on outlays. Government outlays need not be wasteful, ie. printing and throwing money around just for the sake of doing it. Focusing on areas like research, public health, education, and infrastructure boost the private sector as well as allow the government to reap the rewards when boom time is back.
I am actually glad that China, as the world's fourth-largest economy, is taking a pro-active step of stimulating its economy and softening the effects of recession. Much of the stimulus will go into infrastructure spending, tax deductions and farming subsidies. Its central bank has already cut interest rates three times in two months, joining policy makers from US, UK, Japan and India in efforts to lower borrowing costs and inject cash to avoid recession.
Investors are not reacting well to this stimulus but patience is necessary. There will be a time lapse before the economy feels the beneficial effects of increased government spending. On paper, this is definitely a step in the right direction.
Personally, I am concerned that the current economic slowdown hampered the construction and research of clean energy facilities. The financial reality is that it is no longer cost effective to substitute oil with other resources, now that the oil prices has dipped below $60.
However, let's be mindful that oil may reach $200 in 2030, as postulated by the International Energy Agency. China will be guzzling lots of oil as more of its citizens discard their trusty bicycles for cars every year. Thus, in the long term, the country which is ready with alternative energies and reduce its reliance on oil will enjoy a very strong competitive advantage.
Oil at $200 is uncharted territory and will force drastic changes on the economic landscape. Only the very rich or oil producing nations can enjoy the luxury of oil usage, for the poorer nations.. I dread to think about the outcome of inequitable distribution.
Currently, the good news is that credit squeeze has eased compared to a month ago. However, the financial sector has not stabilized fully with credit card debts being a big worry. The US Treasury is keen to allocate a substantial portion of the $700 billion bailout to credit card and auto loan debts, now that it has forgo the idea of purchasing toxic assets from financial institutions.
How will the Treasury implement the shift in emphasis of their bailout? Seriously, I doubt if Paulson or Bernanke have a clear idea either. Anyway, that is for another discussion. As a parting shot, for those who have the means, remember to do your part for the economy and spend. Till tommorrow.

A FORMER Sydney Catholic schoolteacher has had his bail continued after being charged with additional child sex offences.
The 58-year-old ex-teacher and a Catholic brother, 59, were charged in November last year with assaulting students in the 1980s at a Catholic college and Catholic primary school in western Sydney.
Both men's names have been suppressed by court order.
The former teacher appeared in Penrith Local Court on Friday charged with sexual assault, committing an indecent act and indecent assault.
The charges relate to a 13-year-old boy in 1987 and an eight-year-old girl in 1985 who were under his authority.
He was also charged on Friday with assaulting a nine-year-old girl in 1986 and an 11-year-old girl in 1990.
He remains on conditional bail to reappear in the same court on a future date.
The Catholic brother is still before the courts charged with six historical offences relating to two boys who were aged 13 at the time.
The charges include the indecent assault of a person under his authority and committing an indecent act towards a person under his authority.
Strike Force Avia was established by the Sex Crimes Squad in October 2011 to investigate incidents alleged to have occurred on the grounds of the two schools.
Anyone with information that could assist detectives is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Water allocation from Gnangara Mound approved
The Water Corporation has been given approval to draw 159 gigalitres of water from the Gnangara system this year.
The corporation applied for 162 gigalitres which was just under the maximum allowable allocation of 165 gigalitres.
The Water Minister Bill Marmion says he doubts all of it will be needed.
"We don't know how much rain we're going to get this winter," he said.
"If we get another like last winter which was above average or just above average then the need to withdraw the 159 gigalitres out of the Gnangara mound may not be necessary."
The Opposition's water spokesman Fran Logan has criticised the decision.
The sustainability report clearly says that the draw down on the Gnangara must be reduced," he said.
"We've hammered the Gnangara Mound, you've seen all the reports about the impact on its cave structure, you've seen the evidence that's come forward from the draft Gnangara sustainability strategy.
"When's the Government actually going to do anything about it?"
Mr Logan says the report has not been completed because the Government wants to be able to continue to draw down from the mound at very high levels.
Mr Marmion says there is water available from other sources.
"We have 100 gigalitres available from both the Kwinana and the Binningup desalination plant, with another 50 gigalitres coming on stream at the end of next year so I guess it's a bit of a safety valve," he said.
Meanwhile, a summer promotion by the Water Corporation has saved about 2.9 billion litres.
Mr Marmion says the Target 60 program aims to reduce Perth's summer water usage by 10 per cent.
He says the scheme exceeded its target last year and has urged more people to sign up.

Carabasset Valley Academy (CVA) was selected as the USSA Club of the Year. CVA runs strong programs across all USSA sports. Alumni include 12 Olympians and 39 national team members, many of whom started their careers by competing in USASA events. CVA was also honored as the Snowboard Club of the Year. Under the leadership of USASA Executive Director Elect, Michael Mallon, the CVA snowboarding program has achieved tremendous success on the local, regional and international stages. CVA has consistently produced some of the top riders with a continued focus on academics. Some highlights included CVA BX athletes landed 27 top tens on the Nor-am tour combined with four podiums. Five team members were selected for FIS Jr world championships and the number one and two finishers in Junior mens slopestyle at USASA nationals were both from CVA. In partnership with Sugarloaf CVA hosted a snowboardcross Nor-Am and Rev Tour stop during the 2015-16 season.

Freeski National Championships Day 2 in Review
Our USASA sponsors are the BESTEST!
Freeski Nationals Review
A montage of happenings prior to the 2016 Nationals Free Ski Awards on Sun, April 10. For a group of young competitors, arriving early for the ceremonies paid off as they won prizes from several USASA and 2016 National Championship sponsors including a unique tote bag from Swag Bag (ClubSwagBag.org), backpacks from Windells Camp and a speaker from Braven Products, among others.
On Sunday, April 10, Group 1 (NorAm, Open, 19-29 and 30 & Over for both Men and Women) hit the SkierCross course. Full results can be found via the Nationals tab on the USASA Homepage (left)
Group 3, which consisted of the 13-15 year-old Men and Women as well as 16-18 year-old Men and Women spent Sun, April 10 in the Copper Mountain Superpipe.
It was Sunday in the Park for the Freeski Boys and Girls competing in the 9 and Under and 10-12 year old age groups. From the get-go, it was evident that the youngsters had been working hard all season long on their tricks. A special shout out goes to Troy Podmilsak for throwing down the Best Trick as determined by representatives of TheHouse.com. The young gun, who hails from Park City, UT, earned $200 for his effort. Oh, and he also finished third in the 10-12 year old group.
USASA Names Executive Director
Mallon's appointment came during the 2016 National Championships held at Copper Mtn. with over 1800 skiers and snowboarders competing over twelve days. Mike's leadership and experience has the USASA poised to continue the momentum through the summer and into next year.
Mike began his relationship with the USASA in 1995 as a coach for the USASA Junior National team. As a team coach and organizer he hosted all-inclusive training camps each season, and attended five ISF Junior Worlds Championships and three Topolino events with the USASA.
In 2004 Mike was named as the Sport Committee Chairman for US Snowboarding and a served on the USSA board of directors for three consecutive terms through two Olympic cycles. In 2009 Mike served as the FIS Technical Delegate for the World Championships in Seoul, Korea. In the same year he was awarded the prestigious Westhaven award for his outstanding service as a FIS Technical Delegate. In 2010 he was also recognized for his distinguished achievement in snowboarding administration with the Anna McIntyre award.
After the Vancouver Olympics in 2010 Mike went on to serve on the USASA Executive Board for four years as the President and is currently employed at Carrabassett Valley Academy as the snowboard program director.
In addition to his volunteer involvements and running events Mike has led the top snowboard programs in the country and received recognition for these achievements three times as the "Snowboard Program of the Year." Carrabassett Valley Academy, where Mike is currently employed, has been nominated for this esteemed acknowledgment this year.
"Snowboarding has been so good to me and I'm stoked that I am able to give back now and be right back where it all began for me with the USASA. We have an amazing group of series directors and with the help of our newly formed foundation I'm looking forward to making the USASA experience more accessible to every kid out there. Together we are going to focus on giving back to the local series that make up this amazing organization."
Mike will be transitioning from his role at CVA after the class of 2016 graduation and will begin as the Executive director at USASA on June 1st.

Many Canadian organizations are struggling to maintain their cyber security in an increasingly sophisticated and persistent technology risk environment. Cyber security is a systemic risk to any business and demands the attention of boards of directors.
However, many board members became successful business leaders before technology merited their sustained attention. Their lack of literacy on cyber security means they cannot provide oversight on this critical business risk. Directors can only make responsible decisions if they understand the strategic implications of their choices, so they need to understand how cyber risks fit into the broader risk picture.

We're heading to Cap de Salou for the first time at the end of August. The hotel we booked had a waters slide in the brochure and on the website but unfortunately it was removed last year. We only discovered this after we paid for the holiday. Anyway, we have a 3 yr old who really wants to go on a water slide so anyone know of its permissible to use other hotels facilities if we get drink/food? I feel she'll be too small for the water parks so not worth the money.
Also, are there playgrounds on/ near the beach?We've never done a sun holiday before so are quite clueless.
Thanks again. Some great tips. Love this site
Do you have the E111 cards ? If not apply for them as you will get free healthcare if you need it but only certain public clinics/ hospitals see HSE website - twice when abroad my kids were sick needing a doctor so they come in handy.
Also as some posters have said on other discussion boards you can get small travel sized plastic bottles 100mls or under in shops like Penn ys so handy to have for things like washing up liquid, cooking oil, a bit of nail polish remover etc - saves space in luggage and saves you having to buy big bottles abroad that you won't ever use - if you are checking in a bag I'd advise bring sun creams as in my experience more expensive abroad. liquid limit is 100mls in hand luggage.
Thanks Bessie
Cap Salou is not actually Salou. Its a very small resort near Salou. We were there a few years ago & ended up getting bus into salou a lot. Not much in cap salou. There is a small beach & a few restaurants & bars. Dont remember seeing any hotels with slides.
Many thanks Fergie
I was there a few years ago and the beach/promenade area is nice and clean and there are some slides etc on the beach as far as I can remember. Bring your buggy as free on airlines. Even if she doesn't use at home she will be glad to sit in if you are doing a lot of walking.
If she is ok at being up late Portaventura do evening passes from 7 so you can be there at 7 ready to enter when its getting a bit cooler and you can stay till midnight. Some nice rides for little kids.
If the hotel has a toddler pool you will see loads of shops selling inflatable pool toys and they get good fun out of a bucket & spade as well or a small ball- if you have space going out you can even bring them with you Tes_cos have some of those inflatables but for a 3 year old don't buy anything too big. Also when mine were that age I would bring a few small toys like animals or cars and they get great fun playing with them in the little pool. You could get a few bits in the euro shops/deal z before you go and if they don't make it home it's no loss. Agree a water park would be wasted on a 3 year old ideally they are for kids who are confident in the water and can swim a bit and they are expensive.
In my experience most hotels don't have water slides and it could be difficult to just walk into another hotel and use pool facility as usually just for guests.
My last advice is Salou is a busy and big resort, the biggest we have ever been to, so just watch yourself and your belongings there. A neighbor of mine was distracted by someone for a few seconds while her mobile left on the caf table was stolen by another so just be vigilant though I know such things can happen anywhere !! Enjoy !!
