Maradonna, Germany, a hug and two football kits
This blog post was supposed to be a tribute to Maradonna, it will still be but I have to bring up my admiration for the Germans in this World Cup. The article I had wrote was about how Maradonna had consolidated his position as the biggest football personality through his unconventional way to lead the team and the success they have had in this World Cup, and how Messi and everyone else had been placed in his shadow. All the other all time stars such as Pele, Zidane, Ronaldinho had been given respect, I had even got some space for Rooney and some of the Spanish stars. But today Maradonna and Argentina was out played by a bunch of Germans. And these Germans are a mixture of young boys and old goal scorers. I noticed one thing in the match between England and Germany. When the Germans lead they increase the pace of their offensive game. One thing that was very well reflected in today's match. In the 78th minute Germany had the ball far up in the Argentinean half. They led 3-0 and had four! (4) Men inside the Argentina penalty area and one man just outside! Before the World Cup me and a friend was discussing the various teams, the strengths and weaknesses, favorites, and outsiders and who was supposed to disappoint. I said that Germany was a team that could go far, but my friend dismissed them immediately. His words were probably something in this: "Gamst, don't make a fool of your self! Germany will not go past the last 16, they don't have the players to do it. " I won't mention his name but it is STIG, and I wonder what he thinks of Germany now?
But let us not forget Maradonna. I will give away a signed Blackburn Rovers shirt to the one who can tell me how many hugs Maradonna has given away in this world cup, I just need to know how they have arrived at that number. I will also give away a signed Blackburn Rovers shirt to the person who comes with the best answer about why he gives away so many hugs. Voting lasts until the World Cup is over, and that the final is finished. To vote please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com and enter your answer. Remember your name, address, email and phone number. The 2 winners will be announced when the world cup is over. And remember: Best answers will win and you can post your answer under this blog post if its funny and you want everybody to see it

Essendon great Mark Thompson has launched a scathing attack on his former club, accusing the Bombers of giving up on the AFL season and playing a style of footy that won't win games.
Thompson was fined by the AFL for his role in the club's infamous 2012 supplements program and ultimately departed after acting as caretaker coach for the 2014 season while James Hird served a suspension for the same issue.
With 12 players serving anti-doping bans, Essendon – under new coach John Worsfold – slumped to their 10th loss in a row last weekend – a 108-point humiliation at the hands of Hawthorn.
"They're uncompetitive, aren't they? They can't even get in the game. It's not a bad side when you look at it on paper but they can't play," Thompson said of his former club on Wednesday night on Foxtel's AFL 360 program.
Thompson fears the Bombers' 1-11 season will only get worse due to what he feels is an acceptance that big losses are bound to happen with a patched-up team of youngsters and top-up players.
Worse than that, however, for the former Bombers premiership captain and Geelong premiership coach, is the the style of football Worsfold has the team playing.
"I'm more worried about how long it's going to take to get out of this and how they're playing … they're not playing the game to win the game," he said.
"They're not playing a style of footy that's going to win the game."
Thompson accused Essendon of trying to limit the damage in matches, albeit under tough circumstances, instead of laying the foundations of a game plan that would ultimately bring finals success.
"There are so many teams that can't win the premiership this year, but none of them would be playing football just to try and get fourth or sixth or to not have as many losses," he said.
"I'm a believer that you just train them up to play (the way) that's going to win finals.
"And hopefully one day, you'll get through with the people that you've got and that one day, that you do get the chance, it's years of training that's gone into it that gets you the result."

Best Buy in Expansion Mode in 20069 Feb, 2006 By: Holly J. Wagner
Best Buy shares leapt more than 8% — more than $4 — in early trading today after the company said it will open 90 new stores in the coming year and raised its earnings outlook for the fiscal 2006 fourth quarter and year ending Feb. 25.
Best Buy expects 75 to 80 new U.S. stores to boost its domestic retail square footage to 34 million square feet by the end of fiscal 2007, from 31 million square feet at the end of fiscal 2006. Three new Canadian stores will push square footage to 3.8 million square feet, up from 3.6 million square feet today. The company expects to open the majority of the new stores in its fiscal third quarter, so that the new stores are open in time for the holiday selling season.
More than half of the new stores will be in the 30,000-square-foot format, with the remainder to be split between the 20,000-square-foot and 45,000-square-foot formats. The majority of new stores are scheduled for markets where Best Buy has an established presence. The new stores will create 9,000 jobs, according to the company, which also expects to relocate 10 to 15 U.S stores and remodel an unspecified number of others during the year.
This year the company will focus on "enhancing its home theater experience" by expanding the assortment of digital TVs and adding more Magnolia Home Theater store-within-a-store locations; and adding its branded business support sections to more than 120 U.S. stores.
Brian Dunn, who becomes the company's president and chief operating officer later this month, said, "We've chosen these two critical growth areas so we can take advantage of the enormous energy around digital TVs while building our capabilities to serve small businesses, which represent a relatively new market for us."
There are no plans to open stand-alone Magnolia Audio Video or Geek Squad stores during the year, and the company now expects to close its acquisition of Pacific Sales Kitchen and Bath Centers in the first half of the calendar year.
The chain sold 20% more gift cards in the holiday season than the year before, and January redemptions helped to drive the quarter's increased sales. Hit items were flat-panel TVs, portable audio players and video games.
For the quarter the company expects earnings from continuing operations of $1.25 to $1.30 per share, a 23% hike from the 2005 fourth quarter.
The estimate was up from previous guidance anticipating $1.06 to $1.16 per share compared to $1.04 per share in the 2005 quarter.
The projection assumes a comp-store sales gain of 6% to 7%, up from the range of 3% to 5% previously estimated. Last month the company reported a comp-store sales gain of 5.8 percent for December.
For fiscal 2006, Best Buy expects earnings per share in the range of $2.24 to $2.29, up 29% from $1.75 per share for fiscal 2005.

Easy Osso Buco
Although preparing osso buco can be a time-consuming process, using a slow cooker and our flavorful braising sauce results in a delicious meal with a minimum of hands-on prep time. Serve it with your favorite mashed potatoes or polenta to soak up the savory sauce.
- 6 veal shanks, each 8 to 10 oz. (250 to 315 g)
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 Tbs. olive oil, plus more as needed
- 1 jar (24.5 oz./695 g) osso buco braising sauce
Preheat an oven to 325°F (165°C).
Season the veal shanks generously with salt and pepper.
In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil until just smoking. Working in batches, and adding more oil to the pot as necessary, brown the veal on all sides, about 8 minutes per batch. Return all the veal to the pot, add the braising sauce and cover the pot. Transfer to the oven and cook until the veal is fork-tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
Transfer the veal shanks to a plate and skim the fat off the sauce. Serve the veal shanks with the sauce spooned over the top. Serves 6.

Music and Transfiguration
A Composer's Last Works
Submitted by jsdubois015 on Mon, 03/29/2010 - 17:24
It's always fascinating to look at the entire works of a composer, to witness the development of an artist from his earliest works to his last. Sometimes, even just a particular genre, tells much of the story of the developing musician. Take for example Beethoven's piano sonatas--starting with the Opus 2 sonatas that are so much in the spirit of Mozart and Haydn, you then pass through the Pathétique, the Waldstein and the Appassionata, then the colossal Hammerklavier, and end with the 32nd sonata in C minor. In all that, there is an incredible story of a composer reaching into the depths of his art and human existence. With some composers, there is a distinctive difference in the music they composed towards the end of their lives compared to their early compositions. Again, Beethoven is an excellent example. Just think of the difference between his Ninth Symphony and the other eight, or his late string quartets with those before. Another good example is Brahms. There is a much subtler difference, but a difference none the less, between his op. 117-119 piano pieces and his earlier piano sonatas and even his middle period variation sets. His Fourth Symphony also stands out from his previous three.
One such difference that I had not noticed before is Schubert's String Quartet in C major. It was composed in the summer of 1828, just two months before the composer's death. Now, I'm no Schubert scholar, but I was surprised at how un-Schubertian some passages of this work sounded. No doubt there are the charming and graceful melodies that Schubert is so well-known for, but some passages seem to have an almost Beethovenian roughness about them, while others have such an air of mystery it's almost startling. As said, I'm no expert on Schubert, but there is no other piece by Schubert I can think of that quite has the unique sense of mystery as the String Quintet.
This is one of the things that has always interested me about classical music. How did the great composers get to the place where they composed their final works? For me, a composer's last works are the most interesting and the most thought provoking. It is in their last works that, I think, they give the truest pictures of themselves.
You must keep in mind that they all started composing at a very tender age when they were little more than children. Schubert began at 14? As they matured so did their music. I disagree that the last word is usually the truest. Old age is superior to youth in art, but youth prevails in ideas, novelties, enthusiasm. To me Beethoven's piano sonata no 3 in C major is already his greatest - perhaps.
Actually, in many instances, a composer's earlier works have more to offer us than his later. I am thinking particularly of Schumann, whose earlier piano works are so cogent - take a look at Carnival, the Kinderscenen, Kreisleriana, the Fantasy, Arabesque, Novelettes, Faschingsswank aus Wien, and I'm sure that these do not begin to exhaust the list, but by comparison, much of his later output sounds tired, repetitive, and relying on established formulae. Debussy is another composer whose earlier works by far outstrip in interest his for me stillborn late efforts - I realize that there will be many who will disagree with this - but that is my reaction to his body of work. I could cite numerous examples as I did just jnow with Schumann. And by the way, mustermeister, I happen to agree with you on the worth of Beethoven's Op. 2, No. 3 in C Major, but there are plenty of others I would couple with it, from that period alone, such as Op. 10, No. 3 in D Major. And this is still far from exhaustive, even if I would say that a small minority of his sonatas do not quite cut it for me; also a small minority of the movements in Bach's WTC, but here on the whole I prefer the second book to the first. And Brahms was a very different composer in his very earliest works compared to his very last ones, and it is up for grabs which one might think are more significant.
jsdubose015, I just reread your commentary and have to differ somewhat on one comment you submitted regarding Brahms; namely that of the Fourth Symphony standing out from his previous three.
In my talks with other musicians, I have found wide variation in opinions as to the relative worth of these four works, and have actually encountered partisans for each of the four. Speaking for myself, I have always considered the First to be the most interesting and for me the most outstanding. In it, Brahms resorts to a pictorial, narrative style of writing that very nearly approaches the high romantic writings of Liszt and Wagner - that is to say, coming closer to them without actually emulating them. The music is suggestive for me in a manner far more than Brahms normally allowed himself. And the fact that twenty years passed from the time he set its first notes down to the time when he released the work for
publication and performance should tell us something; obviously he had something very cogent to say in this work. For me there is a definite progression of events across all four movements (by the way, the only one
of the four in which the inner movements stand on an equal footing with the outer), and the work almost reads as a novel, quite telling its own story.
By comparison, the other four symphonies (at least Nos. 2 and 4) are an agreeable group of movements that manage to co-exixt together without too much concern as to their inner relationship to one another. The Third has something of the quality that I describe in the First - most especially demonstrated with the outer movements, but at least the second movement shares a little of the narrative under way; the third movement being a passing interlude but still requiring in performance an immediate segue
into the last movement to make any sense. Such is my view, at any rate.

Politico reports:
The pattern in Democratic primaries and caucuses so far is that Sanders has had the advantage among younger voters and less diverse electorates while Clinton has had the upper hand in more diverse electorates and among older voters. Arizona is closer to the latter.
"She's doing very well with whites over 50, which is most whites. Half of the [early] white vote that's in is over 65," Quinlan said, pointing to that as a positive sign for Clinton. "Frankly I just think Hillary's organization is stronger and the fact is I just think she has a built-in Demographic advantage."
Sanders isn't just fighting demographics in Arizona – he's also fighting against a candidate who is very well known in the state.
"The Clintons have been very popular in Arizona. President Bill Clinton has visited on multiple occasions to campaign on behalf of Democrats over the last two, four cycles," said Arizona Democratic Party chairwoman Alexis Tameron. "So there's a familial essence to that. And I also do think it's a belief amongst political types that Latinos are drawn to the Clintons like Latinos are drawn to the Kennedys type of reference in which you can see that places like Texas where she performs pretty well in polling and has performed pretty well in presidential contests."
Clinton, who led by 26 percentage points in the only recent polling, hasn't yet campaigned in the state (her first campaign stop is Monday) while Sanders has made stops three times and his campaign has attracted large crowds in the state.
Early voting, which in Arizona starts about two weeks before the primary election, may hold some clues as to the eventual outcome. The numbers have offered some positive signs for Clinton: According to figures provided by the Arizona Democratic Party, of the 601,049 early ballot requests, 262,547 were returned, with 121,374 from voters 65 and over and another 75,504 from voters between the ages 50-64. Both age groups have been friendly to Clinton in other states.
By contrast, just 18,842 ballots have been returned from voters between the ages of 25 to 34 and 8,959 from voters between 18 and 24 – ominous signs for Sanders, who runs best among younger voters.

The violence being incited by Donald Trump is the fault of only one person: Donald Trump.
Here's Hillary's video response:
Los Angeles Times reports how that violence might be moving more voters to Clinton:
Violence at Donald Trump's campaign events and the ensuing controversy did not slow his march toward the Republican nomination, but it may have helped Hillary Clinton in her pursuit of the Democratic nod.
The boost that Trump has given Clinton was suggested in surveys of Tuesday voters. In Ohio, the industrial state in which Clinton and her challenger Bernie Sanders fought most fiercely, two-thirds of voters said that Clinton was the strongest candidate to defeat Trump, and they went for her by a factor of 4 to 1.
More than half the Ohio electorate actually embraced Sanders' main argument in the state, that trade deals such as those Clinton has backed in the past had cost American jobs. But the majority of those voters sided with Clinton anyway.
Those who made up their minds on election day, and thus were most influenced by recent events, also went easily for Clinton over Sanders. All told, it suggested something of a cascade toward the former secretary of State as Trump has dominated news coverage of the campaign.
The 2016 race has been marked by gyrations, and it's possible that there is another turn in store for Clinton. But it was hard to imagine a better setting for a Sanders victory than Ohio after his upset victory last week in Michigan. And, still, the Vermont senator, who had expended much time and money on the state, fell flat.bell hooks has spoken out against her words being used out of context to attack Hillary Clinton, which in claiming the support of a feminist without her consent, violates her agency:
Being committed to feminist politics, I am rarely called on to address the larger political situation by anyone. In 2014, when Hillary Clinton was not yet running for president, I stated that I was not in agreement with her politics. More recently, when asked my thoughts about Hillary Clinton during a public conversation with Gloria Steinem, I stated, "she embodies the very best of imperialist white supremacist capitalist patriarchy, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't vote for her." It is troubling that my 2014 comments have been taken out of context and have made it appear that I am aggressively anti-Hillary Clinton. From my perspective, none of the candidates for the presidency concern themselves in a meaningful way with feminist politics and, therefore, I would not speak on behalf of any of them. Individual white women have prodded me to denounce black female support of Clinton. Their desire to castigate black women for their political stance is both condescending and disrespectful. As a firm believer in the importance of free speech, I consider it vital to feminist democratic process that all women be free to choose who they want to support—whether I agree with them or not. As a challenge to dominant thinking and practice, it is crucial to not construct images of individuals that are one dimensional and binary. No one is all good or all bad. Importantly, our focus should be on critical issues, standpoints and political perspective, not on personalities. In my private journal, I write "Michelle Obama for President!"Clinton has released two statements in recent days.
-- bell hooks
On the Supreme Court nomination:
"It is the President's Constitutional responsibility to nominate justices to the Supreme Court, with the advice and consent of the Senate. Today, in announcing Judge Merrick Garland as his nominee, President Obama has met his responsibility. He has chosen a nominee with considerable experience on the bench and in public service, a brilliant legal mind, and a long history of bipartisan support and admiration. Now, it's up to members of the Senate to meet their own, and perform the Constitutional duty they swore to undertake.
"Evaluating and confirming a Justice to sit on this nation's highest court should not be an exercise in political brinkmanship and partisan posturing. It is a serious obligation, performed on behalf of the American people, to ensure a highly qualified candidate fills a vacancy on the Court. That obligation does not depend on the party affiliation of a sitting president, nor does the Constitution make an exception to that duty in an election year.
"The Senate has never taken more than 125 days to vote on a Supreme Court nominee, and on average, a confirmation or rejection has taken just two months. This Senate has almost a full year to consider and confirm Judge Garland. It should begin that work immediately by giving Judge Garland a full and fair hearing followed by a vote. That is what the American people deserve, it is what our Constitution demands, and with millions of people's lives in the balance, anything less is entirely unacceptable."On the Equality PAC endorsement:
"I'm honored to receive the endorsement of the Equality PAC and the leaders of the Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus, who are fighting every day for full and equal rights for LGBT Americans. We achieved a tremendous victory in the fight to make our country fairer and freer for all Americans when marriage equality became the law of the land last spring. But we all know our work is far from over. Too many LGBT Americans still face discrimination—in employment, in housing, in education, in health care—because of who they are or who they love. And the stakes in this election couldn't be higher. The Republican candidates for president have made it clear that, if elected, they won't stand with the LGBT community as they fight for the rights we all deserve.
"As President, I will continue to fight alongside the LGBT community to pass the Equality Act and end discrimination in all its forms. I will fight to end the dangerous practice of 'conversion therapy' on minors and confront the epidemic of violence facing the transgender community, especially transgender women of color. And I will continue the efforts I led as Secretary of State to advance the human rights of LGBT people around the world.
"And we need to recognize and honor the strength, courage, and determination of the advocates, activists, and countless heroic individuals who told us all that 'Silence = Death' and brought the AIDS crisis to the forefront of the national consciousness in the 1980s. They fought on the front lines of the crisis, from hospital wards and bedsides, some with their last breath—and without them, we would not be where we are today in preventing and treating HIV and AIDS. They saved lives. And we can save more. We need to expand access to HIV prevention and treatment, work with states to remove outdated and stigmatizing HIV criminalization laws, and fight at every moment to achieve that which is at last within our reach: an AIDS-free generation.
"I'm proud to stand with the Equality PAC in this fight to make our country and our world more just, fair, and equal."Time writes about "The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy of Disliking Hillary Clinton":
Clinton has been in the public eye for so long, journalists have long since formulated a storyline about her, as former Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis recently observed. Their view—and portrayal—of her as "remote and programmed," he said, is "nonsense" and impervious to accounts by those who know or meet her that she is actually warm, smart and funny. Political opponents have had decades to dredge up (or fabricate) accusations, with a smoke-there's-fire (you might say blame-the-victim) result. Whitewater! Benghazi! Email! After endless investigations, each accusation has turned out to be groundless. Yet the impression remains: she's been the object of so many accusations and investigations, she must be doing something wrong. Hence the impression she's not trustworthy.
There is also a self-fulfilling prophecy element to Clinton's long history with the press. Part of the reason that they see, and depict, her as stiff and measured (and therefore inauthentic) surely is what she herself said recently: she's not a natural politician—something that is as ironic as it is obvious, since her being a seasoned politician is one of the main criticisms raised against her. But another part of it, no doubt, is that she has had so much experience having her words and actions turned against her, it's no wonder she might be cautious in choosing them. And this, too, started with her hair.
When Clinton first appeared on the national stage back in 1992, the young wife of the Arkansas governor running for president, she kept her natural-brown hair off her face with a headband. This sparked an avalanche of criticism, so she colored her hair and had it styled, which led to a new round of accusations: she was nefariously manipulating her image! Other damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't attacks were also particular to her as a woman. Because the Clintons kept their small daughter out of the public eye, polls showed that people thought they were childless, a condition that stigmatizes women. When evidence emerged that Clinton was a devoted mother, Margaret Carlson writing in TIME found her guilty of "yuppie overdoting on her daughter."
All these forces have played a role in Clinton being seen as inauthentic and untrustworthy. And they are all related to the double bind that confronts women in positions of authority, as I recently wrote in the Washington Post. A double bind means you must obey two commands, but anything you do to fulfill one violates the other. While the requirements of a good leader and a good man are similar, the requirements of a good leader and a good woman are mutually exclusive. A good leader must be tough, but a good woman must not be. A good woman must be self-deprecating, but a good leader must not be.New York Times writes about Hillary Clinton's "bold vision, hidden in plain sight":
Mrs. Clinton has put forth an ambitious and broadly popular policy agenda: family and medical leave, continued financial reform, improvements in the Affordable Care Act, investments in infrastructure and scientific research, measures to tackle global warming and improve air and water quality, and so on.
But Mrs. Clinton does have an ambitious vision, and it's one that should be inspiring. The fact that it remains mostly hidden from view reveals more about our current political environment than it does about her — more about how we understand (or misunderstand) our nation's past and present than about the comparative merits of her governing philosophy.
A few decades ago, Mrs. Clinton would have been seen as a common political type: an evidence-oriented pragmatist committed to using public authority to solve big problems.
In the middle decades of the 20th century, this pragmatic problem-solving mentality had a prominent place in both parties. Some issues were deeply divisive: labor rights and national health insurance, for example, and civil rights. Nonetheless, a bipartisan governing coalition that included leaders from both business and labor proved remarkably willing to endorse and improve the mixed economy to promote prosperity.
More important, the major policies that this coalition devised deserve credit for some of the greatest achievements of American society, including the nation's once decisive lead in science and education, its creation of a continent-spanning market linked by transportation and communications, and its pioneering creation of product and environmental regulations that added immensely to Americans' health and quality of life. In the 20th century, life expectancy increased by more than in all of world history. Americans' income per capita doubled and then more than doubled again, with the gains broadly distributed for most of the era.
The embrace of an active government, working in creative tension with the private sector, also sowed the seeds for technological and health advances that are still flowering today, including the creation of vaccines and antibiotics to the development of sophisticated medical treatments for hypertension and cancer. Virtually every major computing technology — magnetic core memory, graphics displays, multiple central processors — has its roots in government procurement or financing.Clinton has spoken out about the security of the southern border.
CNN reports:
"I think we've done a really good job securing the border," Clinton said. "I think that those who say we haven't are not paying attention to what was done the last 15 years under President Bush and President Obama."
During the interview, Clinton said "immigration from Mexico has dropped considerably, it's just not happening any more."
"I voted to secure the border when I was in the Senate. I think we have accomplished a lot of that work," Clinton said. "Now, I think it is time to turn our attention to comprehensive immigration reform."
Clinton's campaign plans to push Clinton's immigration platform ahead of Tuesday's contest in Arizona, where more than 30% of the population is Latino.Clinton is getting some big fundraising help from a Hollywood power couple. As usual, the media misses the bigger story. If tickets cost $33,400 per person, she's primarily fundraising for the Democratic Party, not her campaign.
Variety reports:
George Clooney and his wife, Amal, will host a series of fundraisers next month for Hillary Clinton, with the campaign launching a contest in which winners can meet the candidate and the couple at the Clooneys' home.
The full details have not yet been announced, but the events will be held in San Francisco and Los Angeles, and include cocktails and dinner, according to the campaign.
The Los Angeles event will be on April 16, according to a source, with tickets priced at $33,400 per person for the Hillary Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee of the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee. The event will be co-hosted by Jeffrey and Marilyn Katzenberg, Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw, and Haim and Cheryl Saban, with more co-hosts to be announced at a later date.
In 2012, Clooney hosted a fundraiser at his Studio City home for President Obama's re-election campaign, raising about $15 million, a big boost to fundraising coffers after the campaign invited supporters to participate in a raffle contest to attend. The success led to other campaigns adopting a similar fundraising approach, with the campaign of Mitt Romney holding a raffle to attend dinner with the candidate and Donald Trump.Washington Post asks, "Do gendered comments help or hurt Hillary Clinton?" They miss the fact that gendered comments against Hillary Clinton hurt all women. Has some interesting stats from this election, though, that I hadn't seen yet.
So how exactly does someone "run as a woman"?
For Clinton, the strategy has included a stream of reminders about gender discrimination faced by ordinary Americans and political figures alike. She regularly mentions gender pay inequity. She often notes what a historic feat it would be to elect her as the first woman president.
Tuesday night's pundit commentary about her victory speech simply gave her campaign more ammunition for that stream. The pushback reinforced what we find in data on the Democratic primary: Some of Clinton's more fervent support is among those who perceive gender-based discrimination to be a really big problem.
Data from the 2016 American National Election Study Pilot Study show this pattern. Overall, Democratic respondents (including Democratic-leaning independents) gave Clinton a 63-37 edge over Bernie Sanders. But prospective voters who stated that women face a great deal of discrimination in the United States preferred Clinton by a 76-24 margin. That's a pretty significant 13 percentage-point increase in support.
For Democrats who reported that they themselves had faced a great deal of discrimination because of their sex and/or gender, the preference jumped yet again. Those Democrats preferred Clinton over Sanders by 82-18.The People's View reprises the tired question about who is the real revolutionary this cycle — they claim Clinton — but I loved their closing paragraph, so I'm including it anyway!
In the end, the candidate currently leading the Democratic primary is the candidate who is running the cleaner campaign. The one who had access to a video of their opponent saying controversial things in the mid-1980s but chose not to use it for attack purposes. The one who is speaking positively of our president and his accomplishments. The one who is being outspent in multiple states but is winning because their campaign is better organized and their campaign workers and volunteers aren't taking a single vote for granted. The one who is taking in 94% of their campaign contributions from individuals. The one who is drawing enthusiastic voters to the polls and who has more votes than anyone this election cycle, including Donald Trump. The one who is taking time of their busy campaign schedule to host fundraisers for down-ballot Democratic candidates, knowing full well that this is the only way to pass meaningful progressive legislation once the new president takes office. This person, this particular candidate, is the one who is truly running a "revolutionary" campaign.
And that candidate's name is Hillary Clinton.Clinton's got a big supporter who is moving off of the sidelines: the President of the United States.
New York Times reports:
In unusually candid remarks, President Obama privately told a group of Democratic donors last Friday that Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont was nearing the point at which his campaign against Hillary Clinton would end, and that the party must soon come together to back her.
Mr. Obama made the remarks after reporters had left a fund-raising event in Austin, Tex., for the Democratic National Committee. The comments were described by three people in the room for the event, all of whom were granted anonymity to describe a candid moment with the president. The comments were later confirmed by a White House official.
Mr. Obama indicated that he knew some people were not "excited" by Mrs. Clinton's candidacy, a White House official confirmed.
But, while he stressed that he was not endorsing either candidate, and that both would make good presidents, Mr. Obama went on to lavish praise on Mrs. Clinton, describing her as smart, tough and experienced, and said that she would continue the work of his administration. Mr. Sanders has publicly criticized Mr. Obama on certain policies and has called for a "political revolution."Anita Finlay on the state of the race:
Hillary made history again last Tuesday, taking the primary contests of Florida, Ohio and North Carolina by huge margins, and unexpectedly scoring narrow wins in Illinois and Missouri. Instead of celebrating her clean sweep, beltway media by and large pretended it wasn't happening, focusing on "how well" Bernie did, or — in the case of major pundits/reporters Joe Scarborough, Brit Hume, Glenn Thrush and Howard Kurtz — told Hillary to "smile." Hillary is running to be Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces and leader of the free world. She has, from the beginning of this campaign, offered a comprehensive, progressive platform. Her victory speech was an invigorating, inclusive call to arms. In a frustrated attempt to distract from the trail she is blazing, pundits pretend she's running for Miss Congeniality, but her momentum cannot be denied.
For the intellectually dishonest, in the press or otherwise, who pretend Hillary Clinton is not already our de facto Democratic nominee, or that she is somehow "subverting" the will of the people, Secretary Clinton currently leads Senator Sanders by more than 2.5 million votes. She is also 323 PLEDGED delegates ahead of him. SUPER delegates (comprised of 718 senior party officials) are not even at issue at this point, but currently support Hillary 479 to Sanders' 26.
In 2008, Hillary Clinton got more votes than anyone in primary history, about 200,000 more than Barack Obama. He narrowly beat her in the pledged delegate race, however, to the tune of about 130. Super Delegates then ran to him. Despite the closeness of their contest, Hillary acquiesced to Democratic Party rules, released her delegates at the Convention and proposed that then-Senator Obama be nominated by acclamation. Afterwards, she made 180 campaign appearances to help elect him, later serving faithfully as his Secretary of State. At no point in the 2008 contest did Barack Obama have anywhere near the formidable lead Hillary does now.
For Senator Sanders to continue to run on issues dear to him is valid, but his campaign might want to consider being honest about the way the Democratic nominating contest works. To pretend his campaign can overthrow the popular vote and delegate counts is dishonest to his loyalists, taking campaign contributions on a whim that will not come to pass.
Hillary Clinton is a lifelong Democrat who has been fighting for progressive causes since her years working for the Children's Defense Fund. As a New York Times opinion piece just offered "Clinton's bipartisan governing tradition may not be stylish, but it is highly effective." She marches onward with a diverse, dedicated and enthusiastic (sorry, corporate media) coalition of voters.And because there is no better way to close out a day and a week with Melissa McEwan, here she is writing for Shakesville, excoriating Chris Matthews for saying that if Hillary Clinton is smart, she'll pick John Kasich (!) as her running mate:
If Hillary Clinton were smart. That is a thing that noted smart person Chris Matthews just said.
Because clearly, Hillary Clinton isn't smart. And the only way to prove she's smart is to choose as her running mate a Republican man. A man who just defunded Planned Parenthood in his state. Who, since taking office in 2011, has "quietly led his state to an almost unprecedented number of abortion clinic closures," forcing residents of Ohio to travel in droves to Michigan for abortions. Who doesn't believe maternity leave should be law. Who talks about women "leaving their kitchens" to support him. Who has a long history of saying problematic things to and about women.
Yes, if Clinton were smart, she'd put this fucking guy on her ticket and, as the saying goes, one heartbeat away from the presidency. If she were smart.
Now, I'm just a woman with a brain irreparably compromised by female hormones like Hillary Clinton, not a noted smart person like Chris Matthews, but it seems to me that if there are "many, many, tens of millions of Republicans" who won't vote for Trump, under any circumstances, then the person running against Trump doesn't actually need to provide them with a coddling alternative, but can just feel satisfied with the fact that these voters will stay home on Election Day and behold their roosting chickens.
And, obviously, math is hard, especially for women, but maybe Hillary Clinton has calculated that putting a rank misogynist on her ticket might actually cost her a few votes with liberal women. And liberal men who aren't fans of misogyny. Maybe she has concluded that alienating her base in an absurd bid to appeal to a base that notoriously hates her isn't actually a wise strategy.

Item description for 2 Kings (Forms of the Old Testament Literature) by Burke O. Long...Overview
2 Kings is Volume X of The Forms of the Old Testament Literature, a series that aims to present a form-critical analysis of every book and each unit in the Hebrew Bible. Fundamentally exegetical, the FOTL volumes examine the structure, genre, setting, and intention of the biblical literature in question. They also study the history behind the form-critical discussion of the material, attempt to bring consistency to the terminology for the genres and formulas of the biblical literature, and expose the exegetical process so as to enable students and pastors to engage in their own analysis and interpretation of the Old Testament texts. Long views 1-2 Kings as a substantially unified written work of historiography, produced during the Babylonian exile. Hence he begins his detailed form-critical commentary on 2 Kings where he left off in his volume on 1 Kings. Following the series format, Long discusses the text of 2 Kings unit by unit in terms of structure, genre, setting, and intention, concluding each unit with a bibliography. As in his volume on 1 Kings, Long here integrates his form-critical work with a discussion of the book's literary art (e.g., style, metaphor, imagery) to expose "the narrative genius which awakens imaginative response in the reader." The volume concludes with a glossary of the genres and formulas identified in 2 Kings.

It's finally getting a little bit colder outside and I am happy camper! It was very windy today, so I was able to wear longer sleeves and thicker materials. I picked up this cute peplum top at Simons the other day and I was super excited to style it. Peplum is new to me! For my first time wearing this fresh trend, I paired it with some of my old favourites. I took advantage of the weather to wear one of my beloved pairs of tights (hello tights! long time no see!) and I also added a hat, but I have to admit that it was just a prop for the pictures. I spend the whole day inside, so there was no need for a hat. Hehe
I did nothing special today... I simply enjoyed some downtime at home. I had apple pie and vanilla ice cream for breakfast, did a few sketches for a client and watched Thelma & Louise. I must say that I was really envious of Louise's 1966 Ford Thunderbird Convertible. I love vintage muscle cars and my eyes got all big and sparkly every single time the blue Thunderbird appeared onscreen! I searched on LesPAC (a Craiglist-like website) for a vintage blue Thunderbird and the only one I found was 52 000 $. Fantasy = crushed. Ha! But look at this baby (and hear it roar here). I also found this green one from 1978, but I believe it would consume way to much gas for my tiny budget. I must save money for my dream RV, remember? ;) If I do get a car in a near future, I will get a cheap and economical one that I can resell easily, not a mighty retro baby that I won't want to get rid of. What is your dream car?

Many people emailed and asked me about my ideas and opinions about the Malaysia real estate market in 2013. The frank answer is that my crystal ball is broken, and for the first time in my many years as a real estate broker I have no clue how the Malaysia property market is going to perform this year.
The reason for this is simple enough, really. General election is coming soon, and as any seasoned real estate investor will tell you, the key to growth in any property market is political stability. Now there's a general "wait and see" attitude among property buyers and sellers, and as a result, the property market is suffering.
But still, I remain bullish with the prospects of the Malaysian real estate market. Land is scarce, especially in places like Penang where prices of properties have jumped over the recent years. There are pockets of growth at places such as Mont Kiara, Subang Jaya (especially in SS15), Bangsar, Sentul and the famed KLCC (Kuala Lumpur City Centre). The key is to identify these hot areas, and carefully research these properties. With the availability of online tools (such as MetroSherpa.com which is a map search tool) and property reviews, it is a breeze to gather data about real estate developments and land properties.
There is also huge growth in terms of real estate agencies over the past few years, with huge agencies such as Reapfield and Hartamas dominating the mass market. There are also boutique property agencies which focuses on the higher end of the market. Correspondingly, commercial real estate is also growing despite a glut of office space for rent in the Klang Valley area, especially in Damansara Heights and KL Sentral.
If you are looking to invest in your very first property then my advice to you is to stay put – at least until the general election is over. With political stability property growth is a sure thing. Also, consider investing in foreign properties – markets such as the United Kingdom (i.e. London) and Singapore are hot with Malaysian real estate investors. If you have sufficient cashflow then consider going overseas to look for real estate investment opportunities.
Now looking at the domestic market, consider investing in places like Mont Kiara. This area was super hot a few years ago with some choice developments by reputable developers such as Sunrise Berhad, but is relatively quiet over the last two years or so with some slight overheating of the market. This area is popular with expatriates, and continues to fetch good rental prices. Commercial developments such as One Mont Kiara are popular, but older places such as Plaza Mont Kiara is already showing some fatigue. Still, Mont Kiara gets my vote of confidence given its strategic location near the center of Kuala Lumpur and also its position as the number one preference for expatriate families next to Kuala Lumpur City Centre. Some good Mont Kiara condominiums are MK10 and Lumina. Go check them out!

When that first shot of the Civil War was fired, Point Lookout, at the southern-most tip of Maryland's Western Shore, was a successful summer resort with beach cottages along the peninsula formed by the confluence of the Potomac River and the Chesapeake Bay. The Point also boasted a hotel, a long jetty, and a lighthouse.
The popular vacation spot disappeared in 1862 when the federal government leased the land and built a hospital for wounded Union soldiers.
It wasn't long after the Battle of Gettysburg that a camp was also erected on the peninsula for Confederate prisoners of war, with forts built to secure the prisoners. Point Lookout housed rebel prisoners numbering more than 4,000 just two months after the battle. Despite an estimated capacity of about 9,000 POWs, Point Lookout would confine more than 20,000 POWs at any given time during the last two years of the war.
By war's end, more than 52,000 Confederates had passed through Point Lookout's confines, with nearly 4,000 dying from causes ranging from untreated battle wounds and armed guard executions to dysentery, typhoid, and other illnesses brought on by overcrowding, exposure, contaminated water, and horrid sanitation. The last of the incarcerated Confederates left in June 1865 and the facilities were soon dismantled.
During the 1980s, the Friends of Point Lookout supervised the reconstruction of one of the three forts used to guard the prison. Inside what is called Fort Lincoln, they rebuilt the barracks structure that would have housed approximately 80 Union soldiers, the guardhouse, and two buildings that would have served commissioned officers.
Commemoration weekend
On June 13–14, Fort Lincoln and the Civil War Museum at Point Lookout State Park will commemorate the 150th anniversary of the June 1865 release of thousands of Confederates from the Point Lookout prisoner-of-war camp.
Point Lookout's two-day June commemoration will feature living history programs complemented by infantry and artillery demonstrations with a special ceremony to reenact the prisoner of war release.
Saturday evening's program will feature a presentation by Ross Kimmel, co-author of I Am Busy Drawing Pictures: The Civil War Art and Letters of Private John Jacob Omenhausser, Prisoner of War at Point Lookout.
The Civil War Museum and Marchland Nature Center at Point Lookout is one of the top reasons visitors journey down the St. Mary's County peninsula to what is today a state park, according to park ranger Jonas Williams.
During your visit, also spend time at the Point Lookout Confederate Cemetery, where more than 3,000 southern dead are buried, their names inscribed on the only federal monument erected to the Confederate soldier. The Confederate Memorial Park, founded by the Point Lookout Descendants Organization, is just a short walk away, featuring a plaza of flags from the Confederate states and a bronze statue of an enlisted Confederate soldier.
Several miles up Route 5, at St. Inigoes, search out the USS Tulip Monument, which memorializes the loss of 49 of 57 crewmen when the Tulip's boiler exploded offshore from the Piney Point Lighthouse on Nov. 11, 1864.
And in Lexington Park, discover the U.S. Colored Troops Memorial Monument, citing the valor of two African-American recipients of the Medal of Honor as well as their black compatriots' contributions to the Union cause.
Today's state park
It could be said that the Point — all 1,046 acres of it — has reverted back to a resort, full of natural beauty and offering many outdoor activities.
Five campground loops are open in the summer, with an additional loop open year-round. Each loop (or area) accommodates 20 to 30 sites. The loops are relatively close to the sandy beaches and the water, since the park is
surrounded by the Potomac River and the Chesapeake Bay. In addition, there are six air-conditioned cabins that sleep four people each. Lifeguards are on duty for the swimmers.
"Our picnic area is very popular and there is a hiking trail nearby," Williams said. "You can rent canoes and kayaks here at the park and paddle around our little creeks and marshes. There's always something to do. Upon request, we can do tours of historic sites."
During the summer, the nature center offers programs for all ages, guided hikes, and guided canoe tours.
Still, the significance of the Point's role in the Civil War is not lost amid park activities.
"Not only was this a prison pen with fortifications, but there was also a state-of-the-art hospital located near the lighthouse and it would have been the Johns Hopkins Hospital of the era," Williams added.
Yet, with the war over and good men — both Blue and Gray — now seeking to bind up the nation's wounds, consider the Nov. 28, 1863, diary entry of Confederate prisoner of war Pvt. James E. Hall, 31st Virginia, captured at Gettysburg and imprisoned at Point Lookout:
"Commenced to rain early this morning. What can I do to make the time pass quickly? Only sit and watch the boys tramping around in the mud and rain. Nothing to read, and nothing that a man can eat. The crackers are as hard as flint stone, and full of worms. I don't believe God ever intended for one man to pen another up and keep him in this manner. We ought to have enough to eat, anyhow. Dam Old Abe and old Jeff Davis, Dam the day I 'listed."

is there freeware/shareware products out there that allow me to rip any scene I want from a DVD?
you can download WinX DVD Ripper, it works pretty well
Bump on both those suggestions. Magic DVD ripper isn't super expensive ($15?) and it doesn't leave a watermark either.

NJ Sexual Violence Prevention Plan
At last a movement to stop sexual violence before it occurs. The 2010-2020 New Jersey Sexual Violence Prevention Plan is the result of a three year collaborative effort by national, state and local partners. Historically, New Jersey focused most of its efforts on crisis response and survivor treatment only after an incident of sexual violence has occurred. Funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, this new plan represents a proactive, cutting edge and comprehensive set of actions to stop sexual violence before it occurs in New Jersey.
Sexual violence is part of a larger culture of violence that shares risk factors with other societal problems of child abuse, gang violence, bullying, and domestic violence. These problems plague our communities, schools and families and require our joint efforts to solve them.
These thoughts are excerpted from a report prepared by the Prevention and Public Education Committee of the Governor's Advisory Council Against Sexual Violence of which I have been a member for the last two years.
Please join the Garden State Woman community facebook group and share your thoughts on addressing violence in New Jersey.
We encourage you to learn more about Denim Day which will be observed this Wednesday, April 28th. Sponsored by NJCASA to raise awareness, you can learn more from their website. Sign up on Facebook to give your support to this important movement.

Sex Offender Gets 2 Years for Failing to Register with State
Officials say a Rhode Island man has been sentenced to two years in prison and five years of supervised release after failing to register as a sex offender.
Ryan Hathaway, 32, was convicted in 2004 of indecent assault and battery on a child under the age of 14.
Hathaway also served jail time in 2012 for failing to register.
Less than a month after his release to Massachusetts in 2013, Hathaway cut off his GPS tracking bracelet and fled to Rhode Island, where he resided near a Pawtucket elementary school until December 2013.

A virtual image of the physical solar eclipse in Germany
Millions of people in Germany have witnessed a partial solar eclipse on Friday, March 20th. With 20.5% of all renewable power generation in Germany being represented by photovoltaic (PV), the solar eclipse may have had an effect on the grid stability. Therefore, the four TSO (transmission system operators) of Germany had commissioned a report on the analysis of those effects and had prepared themselves for the solar eclipse.
As for the energy team at Bosch Software Innovations, we planned on following the solar eclipse through a PV plant at our site in Waiblingen (Stuttgart), which is connected to our Virtual Power Plant Manager (VPP). After all, we were very excited to see whether it would be cloudy – hence, with no visible effect – or sunny – therefore, with a visible effect.
The VPP is a solution not only to monitor and control decentralized energy resources, but even further to plan and optimize them for various scenarios – e.g. to support the grid stability. By connecting multiple renewable energy plants to the VPP it is possible to influence even parts of the low voltage grid. Day-ahead forecasts of the PV production and reports to the DSO (distribution system operators) enable them to optimize their plans on local grid level and ask the VPP for partial load shedding through a demand response program.
After all, we were lucky – the sun was shining bright throughout the whole day, which allowed us to follow the effects of the solar eclipse in our VPP. Apart from this, the solar eclipse was also visible in another application, the Metering Data Hub. Furthermore, as our PV plant is also fitted with a smart meter and smart meter gateway, the solar eclipse was also visible in our Smart Metering portfolio.
I look forward to your comments and starting a discussion on the solar eclipse 2015, here or @BoschSI on Twitter.
Please find the screenshots from the monitoring components of our VPP and Metering Data Hub below, including the corresponding course of the moon partly covering the sun.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Anne Schwab
Review for Community Lunch on Capitol Hill, Seattle, WA, USA
I have volunteered at the Community Lunch for the past six years as "emergency staff". I respond when the volunteer count is light. This is an amazing organization which Don Jenson leads with real heart. The comradery of the volunteers, from all walks of life, is extraordinary and the need for this service has, sadly, grown considerably. The nutritional quality of the meals has improved immensely in recent years and Don as has developed a remarkable network of food sources including farmer's markets, restaurants, major grocery chains and many others.

Three judges have been sacked for viewing pornographic material.
Three judges have been sacked for viewing pornographic material via their official IT accounts, the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office has said. The pornography was not illegal in content, a spokesman added.
However the Lord Chancellor and the Lord Chief Justice concluded it was an "inexcusable misuse" of their official accounts and "wholly unacceptable conduct for a judicial office holder".
A fourth judge resigned before the official inquiry had concluded.
District Judge Timothy Bowles, Immigration Judge Warren Grant and Deputy District Judge and Recorder Peter Bullock have been removed from office.
The three judges were not linked in any way. A fourth judge, Recorder Andrew Maw, was also found to have viewed similar inappropriate material via his judicial IT account.
Judge Maw worked at Lincoln County Court, District Judge Bowles at Romford County Court, Judge Bullock on the North Eastern Circuit, and Judge Grant at the Immigration and Asylum Chamber, based at Taylor House in London.
'Question of conduct'
The Lord Chancellor and the Lord Chief Justice would likewise have removed Recorder Maw had he not resigned before the conclusion of the disciplinary process.
The BBC's legal correspondent Clive Coleman said: "These are junior judges, not senior ones, but nonetheless it is a very, very serious matter." It is a question of whether rf not the judiciary system is being drawn into disrepute, he said.
He added: "There's no suggestion at all that the judges have done anything illegal, it is a question of conduct. "It is critical that the public have confidence in our judiciary system."
As such, the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office (JCIO) "carefully monitors" judicial conduct.
A spokesman for the JCIO told the BBC that the judges would no longer be allowed to work in a judicial role.
He said: "As far as I'm aware the judges are not appealing the decision."

Comprehensive AnnualFinancial Report (CAFR)
Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting
For over 40 years, the Association of School Business Officials International has honored school districts with the Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting (COE) for transparency, fiscal accountability, and best practices in financial reporting. The Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District has been a recipient of this award since Fiscal Year 2009.
What is a CAFR?
A Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) is a set of financial statements that provide a thorough and detailed presentation of a school district's financial condition and goes beyond the minimum information necessary for fair presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
A CAFR contains, at a minimum, three sections: 1) introductory, 2) financial, and 3) statistical. The financial section provides information on each individual fund and component unit. The statistical section is an important source of information regarding a school district's economic condition; many schedules include 10 years of data to allow for broader context evaluation.Budget InformationMeritorious Budget Award
The Association of School Business Officials International's Meritorious Budget Award (MBA) is a prestigious award that recognizes school districts that have achieved excellence in school budget presentation. By working through the MBA Criteria Checklist, the award application process also helps school business professionals build solid skills in developing, analyzing, and presenting an award-winning budget. The Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District has been a recipient of this award since Fiscal Year 2014.

Secrets To Creating A Beautiful Christmas Mantel
Make your home merry this week just in time for Christmas, by pulling together the perfect Christmas mantel. Revampt Goods in Cherry Creek gives tips on decorating your mantel to take center stage this Christmas. See what you can do to make your holiday mantel festive!
Color Theme
To make a stunning mantel, go with a color theme. A silver and white speaks of a magical winter wonderland. Gold and silver feels festive, bringing holiday glamour, pink and green is a bit funky, a spin on the traditional red and green. Reflect your personal decorating style with your color palette. Have all the pieces on the mantel be in that color family. Begin with a garland and add ornaments in your colors with vases on top. Christmas figurines or candlesticks spray painted in your colors also displayed on the top will keep it festive and chic.
The secret to garland on a mantel is beefing it up a bit. Most garlands are rather skimpy when hung singularly. Purchase several strands and weave them together for a fuller effect. Be sure to fluff them after intertwining them. Let your imagination soar when it comes to adorning your garland. Use berries, ornaments, sticks, fruit, anything! Weeping cedar can be used as well to cascade down the front of the mantel to bring a little drama!
Lights, sconces and lamps add a warm dimension to your mantel. Use white Christmas lights intertwined in greenery, or hung around a mirror or frame. Candles are always a nice touch as well. Long tapered candles in colorful candlesticks or make it classy in silver or glass candlestick holders. Using scented candles creates an inviting aroma throughout the entire home!
