CNN's Brianna Keilar, who attended the wedding of a Hillary Clinton aide two weeks ago, was selected to have the first major press interview with Clinton since the start of her presidential campaign.
CNN announced that Clinton will give the interview to Keilar on Tuesday, who was spotted at the wedding of Adam Parkhomenko, the co-founder of Ready for Hillary, and Kirby Hoag, a campaign staffer.
"Not only was Keilar there – also, CNN political producer Dan Merica (who is also covering Clinton's 2016 run) and CNN's Ashley Killough, who is covering 2016 Republicans," the blog CNN Commentary reported. "Also, an MSNBC reporter, a WaPo reporter, National Journal reporter, and a Hill reporter were present."
The decision to grant an interview to an insider like Keilar stems from the Clinton campaign's strategy to limit negative press about the former Secretary of State, who's been caught in numerous scandals over the past several decades.
The campaign even roped off reporters from getting near the candidate as she walked and talked with voters during an Independence Day parade on Saturday.
"Reporters were reportedly allowed to get close to Clinton but were later herded away by campaign aides concerned about crowd control," Fox News reported.
Clinton already set a record as the longest presidential candidate to avoid national press in modern history.
"Clinton, the likely Democratic presidential nominee, announced she would run for president via a recorded two-minute video message on Twitter Sunday April 12th," Breitbart reported in April. "Following the announcement, Clinton dashed off to Iowa in her 'Scooby' van without giving any time to the national press, and very little time – if any – to local reporters."
"Research tracing back through the 2012 and 2008 primaries suggests the longest a candidate went without doing an interview with national press after a presidential bid announcement was roughly two days."

The Image Management screen gives you some control over your product images.
When you upload a product image, you actually end up with three versions of that image:
The original image that you uploaded is the "master image" and the smaller versions that Miva Merchant generates are the resized or child images.
What Miva Merchant is actually doing is checking to see if your master image is:
If your master image is small enough to fit in the bounding box of a thumbnail, the system would not generate any resized versions. It would use the same image for the master image (full-sized), main image (product page, etc.), and thumbnail images. See page 72 for an example of all three image sizes.
Delete Image: Permanently deletes all versions of this image from your store server: master image, main image, and thumbnail.
Delete Resized: Deletes the main image and thumbnail image, but leaves the master image. The resized images will be regenerated the next time that a customer reaches that product page.
You can also delete resized images of a master image in the Details window (double-click on a master image name).
Delete Unreferenced: Delete all master additional images, and their generated resized images, that are not associated with a product. See also Reference Count Column.
Check for Updated Images: Delete all generated resized images where the date of the master image is newer than the date of the resized image. This feature might be useful if you initially upload master images using Miva Merchant, but you later updated the master images using FTP. If you use The Image Picker Dialog Box to upload a master image, resized versions of that image are generated the first time a customer reaches the product page. At a later time, if you used some other method, such as FTP, to update the master image, the master image timestamp would be newer than the timestamps of the generated images. If you click the "Check for Updated Images", Miva Merchant deletes the generated images if the master image is newer. New resized images will be generated the first time a customer reaches the product page with a master image.
Image Column: Click on a master image name to open a details window for that image.
Reference Count Column: "Reference Count" refers to the number of products that are associated with an image.
Example: Use The Image Picker Dialog Box to upload an image of a coffee mug "coffee_mug_generic" and associate it with a coffee mug product. The ref count for the image is now 1. If we associate that same image to another coffee mug product, the ref count for the image is now 2.
The Image Detail dialog box gives you more information about master images and a little more granular control than you get in the Image Management tab.
In the Image Detail dialog box, you can:
By default, Miva Merchant has two template based batch reports:
You can also create your own batch reports for either managing orders or shipments.
You should already have followed the steps to enable the default reports.
Creating a new template based batch report is a two-step process. First you create an empty report, which is easy; then you add the template code that will cause the report to gather and process the information that you want. This may require a significant knowledge of Miva Merchant template code.
Custom fields let you add your own fields to categories, products, customer records, etc. For example, you can add a custom product field, such as MSRP, and display that field on a product page. See page 527 for several examples.
Type: Select the type of custom field that you want to create.
Code: The code uniquely identifies your custom field in the database.
Name: The field name is displayed in the admin interface.
Field Type: Use the field type to select a control or interface for the custom field. Most of these types are familiar and self-explanatory. You can create custom fields with text areas, radio buttons, checkboxes, etc. The one exception is a field type of "Image Upload", which is a bit different from the others. See Example: Adding a Custom Field with Image Upload.
Group: Custom field groups let you organize your custom fields. See Utilities > Custom Field Groups. The Group drop down list will show all of the custom field groups that you have created.
Additional Information: Add "hover text" to custom fields that appear in the admin interface. You might use Additional Information to tell admin users what kind of information they should put in the custom field or how the custom field is used.
Custom Field Groups make it easier to organize and view your custom fields.
In this example we'll create a custom category field that allows us to display or hide categories in the category tree.
3.1. Go to > Catalog > Categories tab > (edit a Category) > Custom Fields tab.
5.1. Go to > User Interface > Settings tab > Category Tree Template tab.
5.2. Add the field. In the Custom Fields section, click on the field named "Display", then click the Select button. (To reduce overhead in the admin interface, only custom fields that have been selected can be referenced in the template code.)
5.3. Edit the template code. In the category tree template code we'll add code to scan the value of the "Display" field for each category. Categories where the Display field contains the string "true" will be shown in the category tree.
5.4. The new code we'll add to the template field is:
Custom Field Value: &mvte:cattree_category:customfield_values:customfields:msrp;
This example shows how to create a custom product field and one example of how such a field can be used.
3.1. Go to > Catalog > Products tab > (edit a product) > Custom Fields tab.
When you edit a product now, you'll see that there is a new tab called "Custom Fields". In this new tab is the custom product field that you created.
4.1. Go to > User Interface > Pages tab > (edit page PROD) > Page tab > Product Display Layout section.
4.2. Click on the custom field ("MSRP" in our example), then click the Select button. (To reduce overhead in the admin interface, only custom fields that have been selected can be referenced in the template code.)
4.3. In the Page tab, click Update.
In our example the custom product field automatically showed up in our on-line store because we had not modified our product page template code. If you have modified your product page template code, you must:
In this example we'll show how to use the Image Upload field type to add content to your store pages that customers can download.
1.1. Go to > Domain Settings > Domain Details tab > Upload Settings section.
1.2. In the Upload Settings section, add "PDF" to the Image Extension Types field:
Create a custom field group called "Manuals".
Create a custom field called "User Manual 01" with a Field Type of "Upload Image".
4.1. There is now a tab called "Manuals", created by our custom field group.
4.2. The Manuals tab contains our custom field: "User Manual 01"
7.1. Click on the custom field.
7.2. Click Select.
7.3. Click Update.
8.1. If you haven't already, click on the link so that you can see the template code.
8.2. Look for the template code:
and change it to:
<a> href="&mvt:product:customfield_values:customfields:user_manual_01;">User
There are times when you might want to capture information while a customer is shopping in your store and save that information to your store database. For example, you might want to capture the customer's IP address and save it with the order record. In releases before PR8 Update 9, you could capture the information, but to save it to the database you had to use a third party module.
PR8 Update 9 added 16 new read/write template functions that let you attach information that you've captured to different types of records. You can use these functions to save and display a wide variety of data:
In this example, we'll show how to put a drop-down list on the OSEL page (Checkout: Shipping/Payment Selection) and save the customer's selection to the basket record.
Normally, the custom fields that you attach to a basket record are lost when the basket is deleted. However, there is a way to "convert" the information and permanently save it in the database with the customer's order. Baskets are deleted when:
Custom fields are added to a page with the "customfields" item. The customfields item is already enabled on every default page in your store (every page in an "out of the box" store). If you want to use custom fields on a new page that you've created, you have to add the customfields item manually. See Editing Items.
5.1. Go to > User Interface > Pages tab > (edit page OPAY) > Page tab > Header and Footer section.
5.2. Add the code shown in the figure below.
When the customer gets to the Invoice screen (INVC), the basket record is converted to an order record. The basket record, along with any custom basket fields, are deleted. However, if you create custom order fields that have the same names as your custom basket fields, the values in the custom basket fields are written to the custom order fields with the same name, and will be saved with the order record. You can then view the custom fields by editing the record.
Google Analytics is a product from Google that tracks visitor activity in your on-line store. Google Analytics can tell you what pages in your store people have visited, what products customers have purchased, etc. The basic process of working with Google Analytics is:
Follow these steps after you have created your Google Analytics account.
As soon as you install Google Analytics, you'll see two new tabs:
Google Analytics ID: This is your Tracking ID that is created when you set up your Google Analytics account. It has the form: "UA-x x x x x ...- x".
Domain: This field is prepopulated with the domain of your Miva Merchant store. You would almost never need to change the domain field.
Mode: The JavaScript that Google uses to perform analytics has evolved over the years to add more and more features. You currently (03/20/15) have three choices for the analytics code. What you select here, however, must match the type of analytics code that you selected when you set up your Google Analytics account.
See: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2790010?hl=en Note that, as of Version 9.0003, Universal mode supports conversion tracking. See: https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/1722054?hl=en
See: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6014841
Make sure you have the
IP Anonymization: When you use Google analytics, the code sends customer data from your store to your analytics account. If you enable this option, the last octet of the customer's IP address is set to zeroes before it is sent.
Force SSL:
Enhanced Link Attribution: If you selected enhanced link attribution in your Google Analytics account, you must also enable it here. But see also: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2558867?hl=en for more information.
Display Advertising Support: If you are using Google display ads, enabling this feature gives you more information about those ads. You view the ad information in your Google Analytics account, but it must be enabled in your Miva Merchant store so that the data will be collected.
But see also: http://www.google.com/ads/displaynetwork/ Policy requirements for Display Advertising https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2700409?hl=en
Cross Domain Auto Linking: You will only see this field if you set > Utilities > Google Analytics Settings tab > Mode field to either "Universal" or "Universal Enhanced".
Normally, Google analytics cannot track a customer once the customer leaves your store domain. If you want Google analytics to track customers across multiple domains:
Domain Tracking: Google analytics gives you the option of tracking analytic data across domains and subdomains. You have to list your domains and subdomains in your Google analytics account. For example, let's say you have the following domains and subdomains:
Once you configure your Google analytics account, you can use the domain tracking field to select the tracking data you want Miva Merchant to send to Google.
Temporarily Disable Tracking (retains all configuration): If you need to temporarily turn off Google Analytics tracking in your store, click this checkbox, then click the Update button. This disables all Google Analytics tracking in your store, but retains your settings so you can easily turn the feature back on again.
Advanced mode: The easiest way to install Google Analytics in your store is to select from the options listed above, and click the Update button. The admin interface will automatically install the JavaScript in your store. However, you can use the Advanced Mode to manually install the Google Analytics JavaScript. You might want to do this if Google has released a new version of their code and it isn't officially supported by Miva Merchant yet.
At this point Miva Merchant will automatically install the Google Analytics JavaScript code. Unless you are an advanced user, you don't need to do anything more.
The JavaScript for Google Analytics has two main parts:
Just by setting up your Google Analytics account you get the "basic" JavaScript code, but in the Profile Settings section of your Google Analytics account you can choose to track ecommerce.
When you click on the Update button at the bottom of the Google Analytics Tracking Code tab, Miva Merchant will install the correct JavaScript in your store. You don't need to do anything else.
The Ecommerce Tracking Template field on the Google Analytics Classic Ecommerce Code tab shows you the Google ecommerce JavaScript code. This code is only installed on your invoice (INVC) page. Advanced users might modify this code if they were testing a new version of some Google Analytics JavaScript, but most users won't need to change anything on this tab.
Please see above.
Please see above.
In previous versions of Miva Merchant, this tab was called "Google Analytics Ecommerce Code". This tab only appears if you select "Classic (ga.js)" in the: > Utilities > Google Analytics Settings tab > Mode field.
The shipping estimate feature allows customers to get shipping estimates for their current basket, or for individual products, without having to start the checkout process. You can add this feature to any page in your store, but it's usually added to the Product (PROD) and Basket (BASK) pages.
1.1. Go to > Utilities > Add/Remove Modules tab.
1.2. In the Available Modules section, click on the Install button under Shipping Estimate.
Most store owners add the Shipping Estimate feature to the Basket page (BASK), or the Product page (PROD).
2.1. Go to > User Interface > Pages tab > Edit page BASK or PROD > Page tab > Template field.
2.2. If you are editing the BASK page: We need to add a line of template code that will determine where the Shipping Estimate link will show up in our on-line store page. In our example, we'll modify the template code so that the Shipping Estimate link shows up below the PayPal button
2.2.1. Search for the line in the template field that contains the string "PaypalExButton".
2.2.2. Below the line for the PayPal button, add this code:
2.2.3. Click Update.
2.3. If you are editing the PROD page:
2.3.1. Search for the line:
2.3.2. Replace it with:
2.3.3. Click Update.
3.1. Go to > User Interface > Items tab.
3.2. Search for the item: shipestimate
Note that we are not looking for the item: shipestimate_rates
3.3. Edit the item shipestimate and select the Pages tab.
3.4. Assign shipestimate to page BASK or PROD (or both).
Assuming that you added the Shipping Estimate feature to either page BASK or page PROD: Go to > User Interface > Pages tab > Edit page BASK or PROD > Shipping Estimate tab.
Mode: Set this field to Entire Basket if you are editing the Basket (BASK) page. Set this field to Single Product if you are editing the Product (PROD) page.

WADA, UCI confirm cycling probe
The World Anti-Doping Agency and cycling's governing body will work together to investigate the sport's dark doping past. Cycling's new leader said there should be "incentives" for some people to testify, raising the possibility of leniency for Lance Armstrong.
The two organizations provided few details in announcing the agreement late Wednesday at the World Conference on Doping in Sport.
Brian Cookson, the new president of the International Cycling Union, told The Associated Press earlier that there was an agreement and Armstrong would be invited to testify. The agreement followed a private meeting between Cookson and WADA President Johan Fahey at the conference.
Armstrong was banned for life in 2012 and stripped of his seven Tour de France titles for doping. He has suggested in interviews that he'd be willing to talk to the commission in return for a reduction of his ban.
Cookson, who was elected in September on promises of confronting the sport's drug-stained past, said his body had no power to reduce Armstrong's ban in return for him telling what he knows. But he conceded "there has to be some form of incentive" for some witnesses.
Any possible leniency for Armstrong from USADA would also have to be weighed against the opinion of WADA and the International Olympic Committee. IOC President Thomas Bach said he opposed any lessening and would be "very uncomfortable" with it.
Cookson said the commission would likely start work in early 2014 and he wanted to finish within 12 months.
Meanwhile, concerns over Jamaica and Kenya are still on the WADA agenda at its four-day summit, and the world anti-doping authority's board will examine its report from an audit of Jamaica's drug-testing program on Friday.
Jamaica Sports Minister Natalie Neita-Headley told delegates Thursday that her government would now give more money to the national anti-doping body after the revelations of a major breakdown in its testing program last year — possibly one of the recommendations from the WADA report, which hasn't been made public yet.
Neita-Headley spoke of the country's "financial difficulties," and USADA said it has been asked for help by its Jamaican counterparts.
WADA has provided a copy of its report into the country's drug-testing breakdown to the Jamaican government and anti-doping officials and has asked for their feedback before any findings are announced following Friday's board meeting.
WADA also says it welcomes long-awaited moves this week by the Kenyan government to set up an investigation into allegations of widespread doping in the East African country's high-altitude training bases. Kenyan authorities had promised an investigation over a year ago.
In its main business in Johannesburg, WADA will vote on proposed changes to its anti-doping code on Friday, and is expected to bring in longer bans for serious dopers among other updates. The new code will take effect Jan. 1, 2015 and in time for the next Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
WADA is pushing for a doubling of bans for intentional doping offenses from two years to four, ensuring a doping cheat will miss at least one Olympics. That proposal, the most obvious deterrent being considered, appears to have widespread approval.
FIFA backs the move to four-year bans, although chief medical officer Jiri Dvorak said the world soccer body considered provisions for leniency for players who test positive for "social drugs" like marijuana were also important.

Ryan Dunn Video Tribute Draws Online Contempt, Nostalgia
A video posting to the late Ryan Dunn depicting his unusual and eccentric stunts and pranks was uploaded on June 30 by the "Jackass" production team as a tribute for their deceased companion.
Dunn, who suffered a fatal car crash a few hours after midnight on June 20, was said to have been driving under the influence (DUI) at 130 mph when his car skewed off track and crashed into trees, causing his Porsche to burst into flames.
The five minute video intended to depict and relive memorable moments in Dunn's career was empathetic and did ignite a sense of nostalgia as well as humor for many fans. But at the same time, the gesture proved offensive to a second group who flooded the commentary sections of various online media outlets with "hate" and negative comments.
The upset commenters questioned how Dunn can be celebrated given his apparent irresponsible behavior and breaking of the law, which not only caused his own death but the death of his colleague, Zachary Hartwell, who also died in the crash as a passenger.
Some commenters called him "murderder" or "manslaughter-er," while others chose to remember the better aspects of Dunn's life, vowing to pray for him. Dunn's death has captivated netizens who have come out to voice out their opinions on what they believe is right and wrong.
Although to the eyes of many, Ryan Dunn's decision to drive after drinking alcohol proves to be despicable, others, nonetheless, have taken this occasion to emphasize how each person is valuable, no matter who they are and what they have done.
Next up is the video for your viewing. Feel free to share your comments below.

Review by RobertDay
A stunning read, given that it is a doorstop-sized nineteenth-century novel with a cast of thousands. Dickens would make this story long-winded and turgid, with the sort of word-count padding you expect from hack writers of a later era; Hugo gives you exactly the information you need to portray the places, the people and the times.The characters are not in any way idealised; Valjean is tragic, Javert is obsessed, Fantine drifts into prostitution as the victim of a rich kid and really remains a victim for the rest of her life, and Thénardier is an utter bastard. (If the well-known musical has a fault, it's that it sets out to make Thénardier and his wife lovable rogues, and they are anything but.)All this is set against the background of major events, all of which are depicted with an almost journalistic immediacy. In the end, the major characters get what they deserve; Valjean gets absolution of a sort, Javert's obsession drives him to suicide when the truth of Valjean's goodness is no longer avoidable, and Thénardier gets a comfortable living on a plantation in the West Indies but dies a (hopefully) nasty death years down the line from a tropical disease.Yes, I hate Thénardier; and that says something about the characterisation, because I don't normally do hate. And he isn't even a real person!

|Paul Levy
Since undergoing what was misdiagnosed as a "psychiatric breakdown," and awakening to the dreamlike nature of reality, Paul has become a major-league wounded healer. A practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism, Paul is the author of The Madness of George Bush: A Reflection of Our Collective Psychosis, and the new Wetiko: The Greatest Epidemic Sickness Known to Humanity. He will be publishing a follow-up to Wetiko in early 2013.
Wetiko goes straight to the heart of THE problem:
In the book Columbus and other Cannibals, indigenous author Jack D. Forbes lucidly explores a psychological disease that has been informing human self-destructive behavior that Native American people have known about for years. After reading his book, it was clear to me that he was describing the same psycho-spiritual disease of the soul that I wrote about in my book, The Madness of George W. Bush: A Reflection of our Collective Psychosis. I introduce the idea that from the dawn of human history our species has fallen prey to a collective psychosis which I call malignant egophrenia. Speaking about this very same psychic epidemic, Forbes writes, "For several thousands of years human beings have suffered from a plague, a disease worse than leprosy, a sickness worse than malaria, a malady much more terrible than smallpox." Indigenous people have been tracking the same 'psychic' virus that I call malignant egophrenia for many centuries and calling it 'wetiko,' a Cree term which refers to a diabolically wicked person or spirit who terrorizes others. Professor Forbes, who was one of the founders of the Native American movement during the early sixties, says, "Tragically, the history of the world for the past 2,000 years is, in great part, the story of the epidemiology of the wetiko disease."
2nd hour: "Wise Old Man" Zan Overall recently picketed a fund-raiser for the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) carrying a big "ISRAEL DID 9/11!" sign.
Zan writes:
The leader of the Jews For Peace was there. He had told me at another event that he had studied the question and could find "no evidence" that Israel was involved.
If I drop a contact lens on the rug I would not ask him to help me look for it.
If I dropped a bowling ball on the rug I don't think he could find it.

Proponents of the idea that "life is a precious gift" (i.e., that life is always worth getting) often cite as evidence the fact (based, presumably, on introspection and a quick, imaginary survey) that most people are glad to be alive. Generalized a bit, the underlying argument can be restated as an accurate proxy is a morally acceptable proxy.
On the other hand, situations where a proxy decision is anything but accurate are often defended as moral, for reasons not related to the accuracy of the proxy "prediction." Often, such arguments contain implicit assumptions about the relative value of utility to one being over another.
One such argument is this:
Although I am obviously pro-abortion, this is a pretty stupid argument. It is an argument about privacy - one that would have no problem with New Abortion, which is obviously a moral horror. It is an argument that, specifically, the utility or disutility of a fetus upon coming into existence is so connected to the actions of the proxy (here, the parent) that the utility of the fetus is not a proper concern of anyone but the proxy. That is, the utility or disutility of the possible person does not matter in the greater scheme of things, and must never be used to influence, in the slightest way, the actions of the proxy. It seems that the implicit account of interpersonal utility valuation is this: the caused owes his being to the cause, such that his utility is only of value - positive or negative - to the cause.
I have recently seen this argument applied to circumcision. In the United States, the genital mutilation of female babies is illegal, but the genital mutilation of male babies is widely practiced. The "accurate proxy is a moral proxy" argument obviously fails here, since despite all the arguments for the benefits of circumcision, the rate of adult males choosing voluntary circumcision is lower than even the suicide rate. I have actually seen the knee-jerk liberal bullshit argument for privacy applied here, however - the idea that "if you don't think circumcision is right, don't circumcise your babies." (I think this is more metonymy than actual argument.)
This is also one of the more easily dealt-with oppositions to the antinatalist position - the idea that, if you think it's wrong to have babies, don't have one - leave the rest of us alone! This implies that the well-being of the baby is of no concern to anyone but the potential parent. It is a very strong position to take about interpersonal utility comparison, but it is the only position consistent with the folk argument from privacy.
2. Classical Economics: "You can't create a negative externality by creating new people."
Another place where an implicit theory of interpersonal utility valuation resides is in the definition and treatment of the "externality" in microeconomics. A "negative externality" is a cost imposed on someone without his consent through a voluntary transaction of others, that these others don't pay for. It's the thing that's not allowed in Pareto efficiency: you can't make somebody worse off without compensating him; that's wrong.
However, it is often asserted in the classical economics tradition (to the understandable consternation of mortals) that it's impossible to create a negative externality on existing people just by making new people. That is because any harm the new people do to the old people (e.g., by raising demand, hence prices, for goods) is compensated by the good the new people do to themselves. This contains a very strong implicit statement about the comparison of interpersonal utility: a possible person's utility is just as important as an already-existing person's utility. This is nearly the opposite of the "if you don't like abortion, don't have one" claim, where a possible person's utility is valued at nothing compared to the existing person's utility. Here, they are valued strictly equally.
Obviously, they can't both be true.

There was much made of DC's Suicide Squad before it had even released, thanks to the excellent marketing and the ever-prevalent tales of that wacky Jared Leto's on-set antics. Indeed the making of the movie itself sounds almost as mental as the final product, and there areplenty of tales to be told when it comes to insane trivia.
Sure, the critical response might look bleak, but at least the DC supervillains still top the box office for this weekend. In commiseration, here are our top 10 facts about Suicide Squad you might not have known.
1. Oh, Mista J!
The casting of Jared Leto as DC's most infamous villain, Joker, was met with some criticism, especially after the first images of the actor-turned-rock-star were released. But we nearly had a very different take on the Clown Prince, as Hollywood heartthrob Ryan Gosling was initially considered for the role.
As reported by The Wrap back in 2014, Gosling was Warner's first choice to play Joker. Though the leading man was interested, he had to turn down the part as he was unwilling to sign a contract that would tie him into multiple movies.
2. A Little Off The Top
We've all heard by now the stories of shared tattoos between the cast and crew, but director David Ayer took an even more hands on approach when it came to certain fashion choices.
According to Margot Robbie the first day of filming on Suicide Squad turned into a lesson in hairdressing, as Ayer himself shaved off a part of Robbie's eyebrow for her Harley Quinn aesthetic. He also cut "two feet" of length from Karen Fukuhara's hair to prepare her for playing Katana, gave Leto his trademark Joker cut, and is responsible for the mess that was Jai Courtney's Captain Boomerang beard.
And that's not the only hair-raising story from the set — both Leto and Jay Hernandez also shaved off their eyebrows for their roles as Joker and El Diablo. Leto, in order to make his Joker appear more unsettling and Hernandez because the nature of Diablo's powers meant that any hair on his body would be burned off when wielding his fire form. Nothing like committing to a role, I guess.
3. A Deadshot, And A Quick Study
Will Smith also went deep as part of preparing for his role as the gunslinging Deadshot, hanging out with Navy SEALS and Army Rangers while getting stuck in some pretty intense gun training. He also shaved his head, because body hair seems to be a taboo when it comes to Suicide Squad.
His past acting experiences don't make it all that surprising that Smith knows his way around a gun, but apparently he managed to impress even his instructors as part of his Deadshot training. Learning to handle both a Glock 9mm handgun and an AR-15 assault rifle, he proved to be a fast learner — and especially handy at long distance targeting with the AR-15. Lesson learned, don't mess with Will Smith.
4. Oprah Was Nearly A Villain
"You get a neck bomb, and you get a neck bomb — everybody gets a neck bomb!" Yep, American talk show host Oprah Winfrey was first considered for the role of fearsome Task Force X leader and all-round badass Amanda Waller.
We don't know whether Oprah passed on the role or was passed over, but this wouldn't have been her first rodeo, with the talk show host boasting an impressive filmography. The part did eventually go to the indomitable Viola Davis instead, and we're quite glad it did.
5. A Catty Connection
The song "You Don't Own Me" was featured in the film and the trailer, linking to Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn. The version used on the Suicide Squad soundtrack was a cover by Australian singer Grace, but the original was recorded by the late actress and singer Lesley Gore.
There's a DC link here going all the way back to the 1960s, as Gore appeared in an uncredited role in "That Darn Catwoman" — a 1967 episode of the Adam West starring Batman TV series. She sang the song "California Nights" in this episode, playing a minor role as one of Catwoman's henchmen.

6. Surprising Sex Toys
The stories of the strange gifts sent to co-stars by Jared Leto have been abundant — from the live rat he gifted his on-screen beau Margot Robbie with, to the dead pig he sent to the cast and crew. But you might have missed the story where he sent a love letter to co-star Karen Fukuhara in the form of sex toys and a signed porn magazine, as the actress told USA Today:
"He did give me some odd, interesting gifts — some sex toys and my first porn magazine. I got him to sign it as The Joker."
An unconfirmed report states that these were discovered by Fukuhara's mother, who was freaked out by the sudden discovery of her daughter's voracious sexual appetite. We bet that made for an awkward intervention.
7. Take My Breath Away
The scene where Batman (Ben Affleck) apprehends Harley Quinn during a high-speed car chase with Harley and Joker was a nice little piece of backstory detailing previous run-ins between the Clowns and the Bat, but it's also testament to the actress's lung capacity.
Speaking to Jimmy Kimmel on The Tonight Show last month, Robbie revealed that she learned to hold her breath for an impressive amount of time. Working with a professional free diver, Robbie learned to lower her metabolic rate to conserve oxygen, and by the end of their sessions she could hold her breath for five minutes. You can't argue that she didn't go all in.
8. Potato, Potahto
We all know Deadshot as the DC Universe's deadliest marksman, with his specially designed wrist-mounted firearms being his favorite and primary weapon. He's also proficient in a huge range of other weaponry — including grenades, rifles, automatic handguns and sniper rifles, which we see a run-down of during his introductory sequence in Suicide Squad.
But there was a little surprise included on his dossier list, which details the numerous weapons he's deadly proficient in. According to Suicide Squad, the DCEU Deadshot is also lethal with a flare gun, a musket and — most amusingly — the potato cannon. Don't tell us you're not imagining Will Smith fighting Ben Affleck with a potato right now.
9. From One Harley To Another
It's no secret that cult director and comic book fanatic Kevin Smith is a huge DC fan, having directed two episodes of CW's The Flash and an upcoming episode of Supergirl. In fact, he's such a big DC fan that he named his daughter after one of the Suicide Squad's main members: Harley Quinn.
After hosting the behind-the-scenes TV short Dawn of the Justice League, Smith was gifted with the baseball bat wielded by Robbie's Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad as a thank you. He gave the bat to his daughter — Harley Quinn Smith — and the reaction photo of her he posted to his social media is just adorable.
According to Smith, Harley "cried tears of joy for the next 2 hours." Looks like comic book love runs in the Smith family pretty hard.
10. A Muddy Concept
Suicide Squad could've been the big break for model-turned-actress Cara Delevingne, as she puts on her witchy pants to portray the villainous Enchantress inhabiting the body of archeologist Dr. June Moon.
She first met with David Ayer at a hotel in London before knowing anything about Suicide Squad, and her initial audition consisted of a conversation about evil women, addiction and mental illness. When next they met, she was asked to read a scene from Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, and Ayer offered her the part before there was even a script finalized.
As a provision though, Ayer requested that Delevingne do one final thing to get herself in the mindset of Enchantress — namely, getting naked in the woods, as Delevingne told W Magazine:
"David asked me to go and try and find a forest and, if it was a full moon, get naked and walk through the woods with my feet in the mud, which I did. There wasn't a full moon, but I howled like a wolf. It would have been really funny if someone had seen me."
The forest where Delevingne carried out her nighttime roamings was at her sister's country house in England, so at least it was private.

Singer Billy Joel has married girlfriend Alexis Roderick in a surprise ceremony at the couple's annual July 4 party.
Joel's spokeswoman Claire Mercuri said New York governor Andrew Cuomo presided over the nuptials at Joel's Long Island estate.
She said the small group of family and friends at the party did not know the couple planned to exchange vows. Guests included Alexa Ray Joel, his daughter with model Christie Brinkley, and actor Kevin James.
People magazine first reported the wedding.
Joel, 66, and Rodrick, 34, have been dating since 2009 and are expecting their first child.
The singer, currently on tour, set a record for most performances by a single artist at Madison Square Garden with his 65th show on Wednesday, besting Sir Elton John.

The North Star Reports: Global Citizenship and Digital Literacy
Northern Ireland – by Victoria Hansen. The North Star Reports: Global Citizenship and Digital Literacy, at NorthStarReports.org and facebook.com/NorthStarReports
When someone says the word Ireland what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Is it the numerous fields of luscious green grass? Maybe the first thing that comes to mind is the countless number of sheep that could be found on the island that is Ireland. Or it could simply be a small island country close to the United Kingdom. What usually doesn't come to mind when thinking about Ireland is its long and strenuous past. Ireland is a land that dealt with oppression for hundreds of years, from the Vikings to the norms and then eventually the British. Many people don't even realize that the Island that holds Ireland is split between two countries, the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Survey of Two Biggest Fears to Writing and Publishing
According to a leading expert on ezines and blogs, Debbie
Weil from WordBiz.com, time is cited as the biggest obstacle
to writing and creating a business blog. The second obstacle
is fear of not knowing what to write.
I am not surprised at these survey results. My own
experiences with coaching others on their ezines validate
these two big fears about writing and publishing.
Not enough time
Not enough to say
Let me just say that a few years ago, I myself experienced
both these fears and many others. I was one of the original
techno-weanies. When it came to publishing anything on the
web or through email, I had sticky fingers and keyboard
Now you can go to Debbie's seminar to overcome these fears
for $79. Or, you can let me take a cyber-slap at you: Get
over it!
It took me exactly 20 minutes to write and post this article
on my weblog.
Get Over It!
I don't have any more time than you do, and I have only as
much to say as you do in your own chosen field and niche. I
am no genius. My husband will tell you that.
But I do have motivation and a drive to help others do what
I myself have learned.
Help is just a click away: email or comment here to give me
your opinion on what your biggest obstacle to writing and
publishing your own ezine REALLY is.
And while you're on it, tell me again, why you wouldn't just
start your own blog like this one? If I can, you can.
Coming soon: Denise Wakeman and I are starting a teleclass
series to help you get started with blogging.
Prediction: Blogging or publishing a weblog is the wave of
the future.
Secret: It is much easier than publishing your own web site
or ezine!
Here is Debbie Weil's survey:
WordBiz Update: text-only Oct. 18, 2004
* Lack of Time Is Top Obstacle to Blogging *
Over 70% of respondents to a WordBiz survey report lack of
time is their key concern to managing a business blog.
In addition:
– 45% of you are unsure what to write about
– 18% question whether the content needs to be edited
or pre-approved
– 15% wonder who would be responsible for the writing
Yet, when asked if you have considered starting a business
blog, more than 80% responded yes.

E. Ethelbert Miller's tribute to James Early. Busboys and Poets (Takoma) - May 4, 2015Su Andi | May 8, 2015
Yet, there are things we many never know about him. There are rumors that this man has more passports than Jason Bourne. It is believed he will live forever because of a Santeria ritual that took place in Harvard Hall. Why should a man help plan a Folk Life Festival when he is already the folk?
And so this is where we begin because there are no endings. James Early has retired from the Smithsonian Institution. What does this mean? Are there only 10 minutes left, like the name of a show he once hosted on WHUR-FM?
Do Morehouse men ever really truly retire or do they simply continue to work after work? Consider Benjamin Mays, Lerone Bennett or the King himself. For James, it seems his days always consisted of another nation to visit, another conference to address, and no rest for the activist traveler.
But the Early life has always been filled with music and laughter - late into the night. He has always been surrounded by friends, his wife and his boys. If you pass his home on 13th Street, the frontyard seem protected by spirits from the Gullah or ancestors from an ancient time or maybe simply a page from a Henry Dumas story. If there is a lull in traffic one might just hear the ghost of Mongo Santamaria playing those drums as if 13th Street was some kind of crossroads and perhaps even Marion Barry could find a way back to the living.
From the Center for Folklife and Cutltural Heritage, the Anacostia Museum, the National Endowment for the Humanities, TransAfrica, IPS and Howard University, from places near to places far, there is that river Vincent Harding often talked about; that river forever moving and changing, and what Baraka might in his terribleness called the changing same. What we knew in the past is what we know now -today - James Counts Early is our bright and shinning star. For years we looked to him for direction, insight and knowledge. He has guided us out of darkness so that like DuBois we might see the dawn, like Mandela our feet will know that long walk to freedom.
Or as June Jordan would write - James - "let us turn the face of history to your face." We thank you with the words written inside our hearts. We thank you with our love now made visible by your strength, by your dedication and service not just to an institution but to life itself.
Which brings me to my final comment before I introduce Bernice Reagon, the woman whose voice made me understand that the ear was an organ made for love.
If you get a chance, search the Internet until you find a photograph of James Early, Amiri Baraka and myself walking across the Howard University campus. It is James, on the left doing all the talking. The picture is important because it documents that James Early walks with the poets. It was his love for Sterling Brown that made Brown the poet laureate of Washington, D.C. It has been our friendship that has often pulled me out of my own despair.
So, I conclude my remarks by reciting the words from the poet all poets love.
Here is Neruda's Sonnet 27. This is a poem I think everyone in this room would dedicate to you - dear James. It captures what you mean to us…
I love you without knowing how or when
or from where
I love you simply without problems or pride
I love you in this way because I don't know
Any other way of loving
But this, in which there is no I or you
So intimate that your hand upon my chest
Is my hand
So intimate that when I fall asleep
It is your eyes that close
What I like about this poem is how it embraces the mystery of love. In the poem love is to be found in humility. Love in this poem is intimacy and oneness. In Neruda's work this type of love embraces not just man and woman, it also represents one's love of land, life and country. It represents a love for the people.
This is what you have always given us James Early. This is why we praise you today and tomorrow.

U-Haul Company of Southern Arizona Expands U-Haul Self-Storage Operations with the Purchase of Capitol Self Storage
TUCSON, Ariz. — (Sept. 7, 2012) U-Haul Company of Southern Arizona recently announced that it has expanded the U-Haul network of self-storage locations with its purchase of an existing Arizona storage facility located at 6755 East Golf Links Road in Tucson, Arizona.
The new U-Haul at Rincon II features six one-story metal self-storage buildings offering more than 460 exterior drive up storage rooms and 25 RV parking spaces totaling more than 36,285 square feet of net rentable self-storage. The facility also will feature U-Box containers for moving and storage. With a U-Box container, you can conveniently pick up our custom-designed trailer and take your U-Box container with you. After you fill up the U-Box container, we can store it for you in our secure warehouse or deliver it to a location of your choice.
"We are excited to have the opportunity to expand our presence in Tucson and look forward to continuing our long-standing relationships with local communities throughout our state," stated Kirk Fiehler, president, U-Haul Company of Southern Arizona.
"With the opportunity to expand U-Haul self-storage operations, we are better equipped to meet our customers' current and future needs," Fiehler continued. "Families needing the finest in moving services now will have increased convenience and a shorter distance to travel when moving and storing their goods, which not only will make their move easier but also will have the positive effect of reducing the amount of carbon emissions released into the atmosphere," he noted.
U-Haul at Rincon II will showcase 24-hour security with electronically controlled access, state-of-the-art digital video surveillance, your lock/your key, FREE use of storage carts, no deposit or administration fees, a convenient credit-card payment plan and available low-cost Safestor Protection to help safeguard customers' personal possessions.
U-Haul at Rincon II also will be selling a wide variety of environmentally friendly packing supplies: boxes made out of recyclable materials, 100 percent biodegradable packing peanuts and moving pads made from recycled denim. Also on site will be a Take a Box/Leave a Box display, which allows customers or anyone in the community to leave moving boxes or unwanted electronics boxes for another customer to reuse for free, instead of throwing them away or recycling them.
Customers who rent a U-Haul moving van, trailer or a U-Box moving and self-storage container for a one-way move can receive one month of free storage before or after their move.
Customers can rent storage from U-Haul owned storage facilities across the United States and Canada by calling their neighborhood U-Haul center, visiting uhaul.com or contacting the U-Haul national reservation system, at 1-800-GO-UHAUL.

E ancora:
"Il gruppo dell'Alde pensa che sia impossibile per ogni gruppo europeista e responsabile accogliere il Movimento 5 Stelle. Accettarli vorrebbe dire abbandonare il progetto europeo e le urgenti riforme di cui ha disperatamente bisogno".
Questo il testo originale completo:
First of all, ALDE assessed the seven conditions as completely incompatible with one another. It is clear M5S wants to get Italy out of the Eurozone and at the same wants to introduce Eurobonds. Also their wish to abandon the fiscal compact and to water down the budgetary rules of the EU are inconsistent with their rhetoric of more solidarity between the member states.
It is clear from these seven conditions that M5S does not take the European project very seriously and that this movement is in fact deeply anti-European. The multiple and lengthy talks of M5S with the EFD group of Nigel Farage corroborate this point. The populist standpoints and tactics of M5S are miles away from the values shared by the ALDE members.
We see the European Union as a common project of 28 member states that requires a responsible attitude. It are especially the past policies of 'cherry picking' that caused the financial crisis of 2008 to turn into a euro-crisis. M5S seems to think it can break it up our common European project into an inconsistent list of seven conditions that have no other objective than to serve a highly populist and unrealistic program.
For all these reasons, the ALDE group thinks it is impossible for any responsible, pro-European group to take the M5S on board. To accept the party of Beppe Grillo in its ranks, would be to abandon the European project and the urgent reforms it desperately needs.
Alla fine tutto è saltato, ma ha comunque lasciato una nuova ed ennesima crepa nel Movimento.

DocumentationMathematicaThe Mathematica BookPrinciples of MathematicaStrings and Characters
2.8.1 Properties of Strings
Much of what Mathematica does revolves around manipulating structured expressions. But you can also use Mathematica as a system for handling unstructured strings of text.
Text strings.
When you input a string of text to Mathematica you must always enclose it in quotes. However, when Mathematica outputs the string it usually does not explicitly show the quotes.
You can see the quotes by asking for the input form of the string. In addition, in a Mathematica notebook, quotes will typically appear automatically as soon as you start to edit a string.
When Mathematica outputs a string, it usually does not explicitly show the quotes.
In[1]:= "This is a string."
You can see the quotes, however, by asking for the input form of the string.
In[2]:= InputForm[%]
Out[2]//InputForm= "This is a string."
The fact that Mathematica does not usually show explicit quotes around strings makes it possible for you to use strings to specify quite directly the textual output you want.
The strings are printed out here without explicit quotes.
In[3]:= Print["The value is ", 567, "."]
You should understand, however, that even though the string "x" often appears as x in output, it is still a quite different object from the symbol x.
The string "x" is not the same as the symbol x.
In[4]:= "x" === x
You can test whether any particular expression is a string by looking at its head. The head of any string is always String.
All strings have head String.
In[5]:= Head["x"]
The pattern _String matches any string.
In[6]:= Cases[{"ab", x, "a", y}, _String]
You can use strings just like other expressions as elements of patterns and transformations. Note, however, that you cannot assign values directly to strings.
This gives a definition for an expression that involves a string.
In[7]:= z["gold"] = 79
This replaces each occurrence of the string "aa" by the symbol x.
In[8]:= {"aaa", "aa", "bb", "aa"} /. "aa" -> x
